Moonlight After Sunset's
Tea Party pt 2

"History will always be remembered, but struggle is often overlooked."

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

"So tell me why you're doing all this?" maya asked after she heard the story of Kaira's adventures.

"I hear you're highly qualified as the future Queen of El-Aufi" he said seriously.

"Haha"

Kaira only laughs in response to Maya's question which she finds funny.

"You may never understand, but this is all I do because I love it."

Kaira's answer made Maya even more confused and curious.

"I don't understand at all," exclaimed Maya with her eyebrows intertwined.

"You must know how cruel palace life is because you will also become Queen" Kaira replied still with a laugh on her lips.

"Maybe you won't feel it because your brother has sworn, but you should know that someday terrible things will surely happen. Whether it's a political marriage or something more terrible than that" Kaira said in a whisper.

As Maya's face turned pale, she looked annoyed and confused at the same time. Luna and Maya who saw this then looked at each other. They had absolutely no idea what Kaira was whispering because her voice was so small.

"Ehem."

Luna tried to distract them with her fake cough.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?" ask Dusk with his innocent expression.

Honestly, Dusk knew what they were talking about, only he was indifferent to it because it was none of his business. Whatever happens to both of them, it's not their business.

"It's so boring" the inner twilight still showed her sweet smile.

He then gave mineral water to Luna so that her cough subsided.

"I'm good, thank you." exclaimed Luna as she wiped the mineral water still hanging around her lips.

"Kaira, I heard that this time you're going to participate in the people's party, is that true?" asked Muna indifferently.

"You're right. This time I tried to..."

"Tell me if you were forced by your sister for that." cut off Muna who was bored with Kaira's nonsense.

"Hahaha, you're absolutely right."

Kaira's laughter once again exploded in that place after Muna told her honesty.

"Let me guess, you must've made such a big fuss that your sister had to step in and of course you'd have to pay for her help with this, wouldn't you?"

Kaira's face grew redder as her secret became known easily.

"I've heard this from Ristia on the way," Inner Dusk was bored.

"Kaira was helped by her sister to escape from the bar with a hefty amount of money," continued Dusk with a look that turned towards Maya.

"Tumben once Maya did not hide the emotion on her face. It's obvious that he's upset right now."

Dusk then patted lightly on Maya's shoulder, he looked at Maya with his friendly smile.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?" tanya Dusk that makes Maya regained consciousness as before.

"Ah yes, no. I'm fine" exclaimed Maya who was impressed as she shouted.

"Alright," replied Dusk who followed in shock with a sudden response from him.

"So Kaira, you set that forest on fire just because you lost a game of gambling?" asked Zakila who had enjoyed the story.

"It's not like that" Kaira replied as she held her head.

"I'm just upset that he doesn't want to play anymore" he continued after finishing thinking about the incident.

"Didn't he just do it. It's just a game anyway."

"That's kare..."

Kaira's words came to a halt as Muna immediately cut her off.

"Kaira has a big ego so it's only natural that she does it all" exclaimed Muna indifferently.

"Where do you know?" ask Zakila curiously.

"Of course I know because Kaira often does it with the Crown Prince."

"Ah, so."

Hearing the crown prince's name made Dusk a little interested. Because he had only heard the name of the person but never once saw it.

"Will the Crown Prince be present at the ceremony of maturity?" ask Dusk who looks so curious.

"of course. He will come as a representative of the King." replied Muna.

"Have you never seen him at all?" ask Muna next.

"No."

Dusk's reply suddenly made those who were there unknowingly drop the teacup they were holding.

"Huh, honestly you've met my sister a lot. He always took the time to just find out if you were okay, "inward Luna thought of the letter she always received from Lucas.

"I don't know the reason why my sister hid her identity to you, but I'm sure you'll know about her one day" Luna continued before putting down her teacup.

"How come? The Crown Prince even came at the final academic exam sa.."

Zakila's words came to a halt when she recalled that Dusk fell unconscious after coming out of the academic exam.

"I understand," she said slowly.

Instantly the atmosphere of the tea party became awkward. Everyone just remained silent without a sound after Dusk asked regarding the Crown Prince. Kaira who was aware of it immediately told her servant to bring them dessert.

"This must be regarding the girl's disappearance," Kaira's inner self as she glanced at Dusk.

"I didn't know the impact it would have on this" he continued, looking at the strange sight before him.

"Why in a moment this place turned into a cemetery" he muttered once more as he watched each of the young girls busy with their food.

"Please enjoy it" exclaimed Kaira as her servant had put the whole dessert on their plate.

"This meal is delicious and...."

Kaira's words came to a halt as Maya suddenly stood up from her seat.

"Me, let me step down."

Maya then bowed politely to Kaira before leaving the garden area.

"Thank you for the invitation." continued Maya before she actually left the place.

"Looks like he's still thinking about that one," muttered kaira quietly.

"I'll go too."

It was Muna's turn to go after Maya. Kaira looked very confused by the behavior of the two little girls. But even more strangely what was left in the tea party was just silence like nothing had happened.

"Did I miss something?" kaira asked in her heart when she saw Luna who was busy feeding Dusk.

"They're driving me crazy!" muttered Kaira while holding her head.

"Miss Sarah," greeted the beautiful girl as she entered the room illuminated by the dim light from the lamp.

"Welcome, and I'm sorry to have kept you waiting" he continued, extending a hand to Sarah.

"Thank you, it's not an important matter" Sarah replied as she welcomed the hand.

"Please sit down."

The young girl sat in front of Sarah's chair. They looked at each other for a long time, before one of them started talking.

"I think you've grown up fast."

The girl asked after seeing Sarah's darkening aura.

"I don't want to be humiliated anymore. Even if it hurts, I can definitely hold on."

"You must know your limits, where death can make you strong but it can also make you like a demon."

Sarah just laughed at the advice of the young girl.

The girl could only stare intently at Sarah who was comforted by her power. He then handed over a newspaper that showed the face of Dusk and his four friends.

"You have to get through them before you hurt them. Are you ready?"

"Hahaha, of course I'm ready."

"They also have enemies who are now preparing to fight,"

"All right then. I just wanted to give this to you."

The young girl then took out a bag of black pearls, and gave it to Sarah.

"Use this as best you can, and you have to remember one thing that our cooperation is only between us" he continued before leaving Sarah.

"Ira, keep this well."

"I'll use it later at the right time" Sarah continued before exiting the room.

Ira only smiled as she held the pouch full of pearls. He opened the bag and saw what it contained.

"Hmm, this is better than before" Ira murmured as the pearl was already in her mouth.

"Miss, you'll get a lot of them and of course, Consort Jina will never know about this."

"You're right, Ira. Even though he and I work together, I don't want to be enslaved by him either."

Sarah again remembered the face of Consort Jina and her two twins.

"I do want power, but that doesn't mean I like them" he continued, thinking of Arina and Dira laughing in front of him.

"Miss, you calm down. My clan will always protect you from them."

Ira seems very excited to say that she and her clan will protect Sarah.

"That's great,"

"In this way, then Dusk will be easier to finish,"

Sarah then went from the shabby house to the academic Lumine by riding the horse carriage she had prepared beforehand.

"Just wait for my revenge,"

*****

At the Kaira mansion.

"Today is very tiring" murmured Dusk softly at him. He tried to get up from the bed while looking at the bubu who was sound asleep next to him.

"Did I just leave this?" ask Dusk while touching the mushrooms on the back of bubu.

"I'd better throw it away" he continued, then pulled the mushroom.

Dusk then threw the fungus out of his room through the balcony. At the moment about to throw the fungus, Dusk accidentally saw Maya and Muna who were arguing violently under the Pine tree.

"What's wrong with them?"

"Is this the reason why they don't come at dinner?"

The confused twilight could only watch Muna and Maya pushing each other. They look very messed up with uncontrolled emotions.

"There's a strange, "inner Twilight as Muna let out her sword aura.

"Even Maya is the same, too" he continued when he saw Maya blocking Muna's aura with her sword aura.

"What are they really talking about?"

"I have to figure this out," shrieked Dusk before entering his room.

Bang

Dusk's footsteps came to a halt when he heard the sound of the sword falling down fiercely. Unknowingly Dusk turned his body and saw what was going on there.

"Luna!" twilight exclaimed when he saw the annoyed face of Luna.

"I just saw it this time," continued Dusk when he saw Muna and Maya who were slapped hard by Luna.

Dusk continued to pay attention to the three who were currently shouting at each other.

"Do I have to intervene?"

"Miss," whispered Dian right in the ear of Dusk.

"Geez!" pekik Dusk was shocked by the whisper.

"What are you looking at?" dian asked as he peered into the garden in front of her.

"Do you know anything?"

"No, but I have this."

Dian then handed over a letter to Dusk.

"It's from Klein" he continued before leaving the balcony.

Dusk who had received the letter, somehow found a chill on his back.

"What's this?" tanya Dusk while holding her shoulder.

Dusk then turned his body towards the garden and saw Kaira who was directing his fire arrows at Muna and Maya who were currently directing their swords at their necks.

"Are they crazy?" inner Dusk who involuntarily crouched on the balcony.

"Do they want to kill each other?" the question returned as blood began to drip from the skin of the two.

The confused twilight continued to see those who fought each other arguments, even Luna who was originally silent now started to emit fireballs towards the two.

Moments later, Zakila came with puffy eyes. He hugged Maya and told her to lower her sword. The same thing he did to Muna but unfortunately, both of them just ignored Zakila and just kept staring at each other sharply.

Slowly Zakila pointed towards the Dusk room. Now their eyes were all staring at the still-bright Dusk room with the light of the lamp. They can also see Dian who is now cleaning Kun's fur and Bubu with warm water. I don't know what Zakila said next but it managed to make the two give up.

"Miss," call Dian while carrying Bubu on a warm towel.

"What are you doing down there?" dian asked as he looked at Dusk who was crouching.

"Nothing," replied Dusk then standing up from his squat.

"They're gone," continued Dian when Dusk wanted to turn his body to see the garden area.

"When?"

"I don't know. I got out they're gone" Dian replied indifferently.

"Huh, okay. Well, what's the business, then?"

"Oh, that. I want to ask, Bubu want to put it on a mattress or sofa?"

"Courtesy, but make it a distance from me."

"None right."

Dian then returned to the room and put Bubu according to the orders of Dusk.

"Huff, where are they?" tanya Dusk confused.

"They disappeared like nothing had ever happened there" he continued, tearing up the paper he had previously held.

"Let's see what it's got,"

A moment later, Dusk let out a small flame from his finger. He then burned the letter while glancing towards the park where his best friend had fought earlier.

"I've guessed," murmured Dusk as the letter burned with fire.

"Cavil is indeed powerful, but who would have thought that he is also a mid-level magician," continued Dusk flatly while recalling his encounter with Cavil at Marques Winter's residence.

"I should be more careful of him" exclaimed Dusk as the letter left only dust.

"Ristia, go and find out the reason why Muna and Maya are fighting like ta..."

"I can't Miss."

"Why?"

"This place has been monitored since the beginning, maybe your existence is still faint by them, but me and Kun can still be detected by it," explained Ristia who had been disturbed by other places.

"Damn," grumbled at Dusk as he entered his room.

"I can't move freely here. You fucking Kaira," he continued before throwing himself on the bed.
