Moonlight After Sunset's
Rabbit Trial

"What you plant, that's what you pick."

******************####*****************

Guira Kingdom

The twilight that was still faithful to hear the ravings of Count Pilgub regarding the black pearl could only laugh softly. Honestly speaking, Dusk already knew that everything the Count had said was sheer nonsense.

"She's so funny," Inner Dusk as he looked at the count's excited face.

"She thinks I'm a stupid girl who's easily tricked, but it's a pity. I'm not as stupid as you think." continued Dusk anxiously with every explanation given by the Count to him.

"If it's true what you're saying, then it doesn't matter if you eat it?" ask Dusk plain.

"That's..."

Count Pilgub's words came to a halt as Dusk raised his hands coldly.

"Nindian,"

Nindia who heard the call of Dusk immediately entered the room and stood right beside the lady.

"Give this to him. I want to see the effects of this powerful drug, so that I can decide to release it or not."

Nindia then took the black pearl and went to Count Pilgub. Count's face looked extremely panicked, he had absolutely no idea if the girl in front of him was going to do this act.

"Damn it, how can I eat it," muttered Count Pilgub frantically.

The twilight that saw this was more and more amused. He casually returned to drinking his tea water while looking at Nindia who was facing the Count.

"Look at that face, it's really annoying,"

"Hmmm..."

Dusk murmured softly when he saw the reaction of the Baron who was just silently pensive there.

"She's been like that since I got here."

Dusk became curious about what Aslan was doing so that the Baron looked crazy.

"I have to ask Aslan this later. But before that..."

Dusk paused his sentence while glancing towards his wrist.

"Where's Ristia?" tanya Dusk was confused when she did not find Ristia there.

Dusk then thought back to the events a moment ago that had happened to him. As he remembered, he told Ristia to find out the reason why Kaira was able to escape the bar leader in the suburb of El-Aufi.

"Gosh, I left it there. It's all because of that fucking cat."

"Huh, she must be upset."

Dusk began to think of Ristia who would act because of abandonment.

"I must return immediately," Inner Dusk as he looked at the mouth of the Count who was about to be forcefully opened by Nindia.

"Wait, wait a minute," the Count cried frantically.

"I can't eat it. I already took the medicine before I got here." he continued nervously as he glanced towards the Baron.

"Basic impostors. You've been here for almost a week so how can the medicine you ate last week still be active now,"

"So, what's your advice?" ask Dusk cold.

The count was initially silent as he thought about what reason he was about to say. But when he looked towards the Baron, Count Pilgub came up with a crazy idea.

"What if you give the pearl to the Baron. He is currently in a very unhealthy state."

The Count was currently looking at the pale-faced Baron with an empty eye view.

"Sy base."

Dusk just stared annoyedly at the Count who was about to sell his subordinates.

"Fuck your fate," murmured Dusk softly as he glanced towards Nindia.

"Do it."

Nindia then opened the Baron's mouth easily. Even so, the Baron remained silent just as before.

"Have he become a corpse?" I have to investigate this first." continued Dusk when Nindia was about to enter the black pearl.

"Stop!"

Nindia instantly stopped her movements when the black pearl was already hanging on Baron's lips.

"Bring the Baron in the next room."

Nindia looked shocked at the order that the lady had just given her.

"Soon," cried Dusk once more.

Nindia then quickly pulled the Baron and took him to the side room.

"Call Aslan here" cried Dusk afterwards.

Moments later Aslan entered the room and saw Dusk staring intently at the Count. The current Count looked so panicked, his face was paler than before and he looked extremely nervous.

"Damn, did he realize it?" ask the restless Count.

Dusk then handed the black pearl he had previously given to Nindia to Aslan.

"Do it."

With just one command, Aslan then approached the Count and forced him to swallow the black pearl.

"Mmp..."

The Count seemed to be fighting back, he did not seem to accept being treated like this. He then stared intently at Dusk which then made Aslan upset.

"You think you've been alive all along because of who, huh?"

The count looked very panicked. He accidentally swallowed the black pearl.

"Ohuk..."

The Count tried to cough to force the black pearl out of his body.

"Damn!" count shouted as his cough produced nothing.

"Sadly, it looks like you've eaten the PANACEA."

Dusk deliberately suppresses the word 'efficacious' so that the Count knows that all along the trick is just a fake.

"Damn it, so all this time he's been cheating on me."

Count's face began to blush in annoyance.

"I think he believed my nonsense a moment ago, but it turns out I was wrong" he continued, irritated at the pain in his body.

"It turns out you're not as innocent as you look."

Dusk was only silent when he heard the Count's words but Aslan who heard them looked very upset.

"I'm sure, there are so many people who have been fooled by your look." continued the Count who made Aslan unconsciously hit him.

"Stop."

Aslan who was about to hit the Count a second time had to stop due to the orders from Dusk.

"Looks, you just realized that. It's a pity, but you're too late" exclaimed cold twilight.

"Again no use anymore. Any minute, you're gonna die."

The Count who heard the words of Dusk felt a little relieved as well as upset. The Count clearly knew that he often did the same. He often deceives others by his nature but strangely he feels different from the girl in front of him.

"Only with that face, he was already able to deceive someone," the Inner Count who could only see the twilight eyes alone.

"Eye gaze looked like a good-natured innocent girl, her gaze was also pure like a saint but behind it all..."

The Count paused his words as Dusk was about to stand up from his seat.

"He's similar to a monster, no. He is the real monster." continued the Count when Dusk had already walked up to him.

"You look pure even though I can only see it from your eyes. You know that my subordinate is in trouble, so you moved him."

Dusk was silent as the Count kept talking to him.

"You are a pure girl who doesn't fit into this world. You're too pure to touch blood."

The Count's words just now were also approved by Aslan. He somehow did not want his lady to get bloodstains or to get hurt.

"I remembered the time when Miss had to suffer because of which explosion."

Aslan immediately reminisced about the state of Dusk when he fainted after the academic exam was completed.

"Ugh..."

The count's face had now turned ghastly. His veins began to blacken and radiate out from his body. His state looked extremely chaotic, as the dead mana had attacked several nerves in his body.

"Argh..."

The count began to shout loudly as his body could no longer control the mana of death. Now his skin started to peel off and his face and eyes looked extremely red. Now the Count looked like a monster ready to go berserk at any moment.

"Miss," call Aslan as he feels that the Count's transformation time is only a few minutes away.

"Miss doesn't have to see this." he continued while glancing at the Count who looked extremely terrifying.

Twilight just kept quiet, ignoring the advice from Aslan. He then brought his face closer to the Count whose consciousness was now being taken over.

"Good day to enjoy" whispered the cold twilight right in the Count's ears.

"Haha"

Count laughed harshly right in front of Dusk. He felt funny about what he had just heard from the boy who was very young from him.

"This boy is indeed a monster, an extremely terrifying monster," the Count inner voice as he looked at the mocking smile from behind the mask of the girl before him.

Dusk, feeling that his time was up, decided to immediately leave the room. As Aslan said, that he did not have to watch the Count change.

"I have to get back soon."

Dusk then turned around from the Count and decided to exit the room. The Count who saw Dusk was about to come out of the room then shouted in front of him.

"You don't deserve to be born!"

Hearing the Count's cry, Dusk simply ignored him.

"You're just throwing away your energy," the inner Twilight as she looked at Aslan who was hitting the Count violently before the entrance of the room closed.

"Miss," called Nindia who also heard the Count's cry.

"Are you okay?"

Unfortunately Dusk just kept silent as he stepped away towards the next room.

"Indian."

"Yes Miss."

"Find out what's the cause of him like that."

Nindia was only silent as her miss pointed towards the Baron who was still silent in his chair.

"None right."

After saying what Nindia had to do while there. Dusk then decided to immediately return to the El-Aufi Kingdom. He decided to teleport straight to his hotel room.
