"Smiles are beautiful but sometimes they become fake."

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

"Miss." call Dian who suddenly appeared from the crowd.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time" he continued, holding his twilight wrist and pulling it away from the crowd.

Dusk was confused, he did not even have time to say anything since his hand was pulled by Dian. Moreover, Dusk thought Dian should be waiting for her in the cafe instead of in the middle of a crowd like this.

Dusk knew very well the personality of his subordinates. He knew that Dian would at least like to wait in the crowd, as it was very troublesome for him. Dusk also knew that Dian had never been this disrespectful.

Although Dian often denied it, she knew that Dian would never pull her like this. So, who is the woman who is pulling him right now.

Even the thought of Dusk became chaotic, it was already midnight and so far no one knew of its existence, and even if he was caught out of the Academic, no one knew, kun or Lily must have contacted him from the beginning.

"Who are you?" ask Dusk while stopping his steps. Dian just smiled and answered nothing. He then pulled Dusk back away from the Plaza City.

"I asked who are you?"

This time Dusk released a bit of his mana energy. He deliberately did that so that Dian stopped his steps. But unfortunately, instead of stopping, Dian even laughed a little and increasingly pulled Dusk away from the crowd.

The annoyed twilight then pulled back his hand. He tried to escape from the grasp of Dian or whoever it was. But alas, the struggle of Dusk in vain because Dian's grip is getting firmer and stronger.

"Fuck, who's this fucking asshole?"

Dusk tries to keep fighting but his strength is not strong enough to be able to bring down Dian.

Surprisingly, the more Dusk against the more shoulders Dian trembled violently. It was not because Dian felt pain, but he only felt amused by the attack that did not work on him at all.

Dusk let out a long sigh with Dian's strange reaction. He cursed Dian with the usual curse he did. He even told Ristia to burn the hand of Dian who was holding his hand.

When Ristia was about to burn Dian's hand, the hand was accidentally released. He did it so quickly that Dusk or Ristia could not respond back.

The hand that was supposed to burn was Dian's hand, but the opposite happened. Unwittingly, the burning hand belonged to Dusk. He screamed loudly as his hands heated up like firewood.

"Arg.., less fuss!"

The shocked Ristia tried to cool down Dusk's wrist, but the pain from her burning skin could not be treated by Ristia's strength.

"Did you use all your power to burn this?" ask Dusk with an annoyed facial expression.

"Uhm, ah that. That's...."

"Damn!" cut the Dusk before Ristia could explain the situation.

"Where did the fucking man go?"

Dusk asked again as he did not find Dian in front of him. Surprisingly, not only was Dian not there, but the entire citizens in the Plaza also disappeared.

"Where is this?" dusk returned as he realized that only he was in that place.

"What is this place?" Dusk still continued to ask when he was completely unfamiliar with the place he was currently living in.

Dusk felt that he only went not far from the Plaza, but this place seemed to be very far from the Plaza or the capital. Honestly, Dusk has never come to this location let alone heard of it.

He had never heard from anyone if there was such a place in the Green Kingdom. A quiet place away from the crowd. This place is a very suitable place to calm the mind or just picnic.

From the west and south sides of this area is filled by towering bamboo trees. It is possible that the bamboo has lived for so long and its age is very old.

In addition, on the other side there is a river that flows slowly with Koi fish in it. As well as a connecting bridge over the river that connects Dusk with Lily garden in front of him.

"This place is like heaven, but..."

So think negatively about this. He thought there could be no heaven in this chaotic place, let alone its location not far from the city center.

"If there is one, why don't so many people know it?"

Dusk then thought about the restaurant that had a secret room in the El-Aufi Kingdom. The restaurant was the one he went to with Kaira.

And it was obvious that the restaurant belonged to the Kingdom, because Kaira herself was a former Crown Princess. So that he could freely come and go to the place.

"Am I imagining?"

Dusk again asked himself, but if it is true he imagined, then why the pain of burns feels so real.

"Oh, is this possible...!!?"

Dusk again thought about Dian who disappeared just like that. He also could not find any trace of Dian anywhere in this place.

It felt so strange, Dian was like she was lost in the swallow of the earth. Even his mana energy just disappeared. Obviously if this is an illusion and if it is true, then Dusk must get out of this place as soon as possible.

****

An Hour Earlier when Dian was looking for a place for her miss, she was startled by the existence of a mysterious man. The man initially only noticed Dian from afar, so Dian was unwilling to bother with the strange man.

But over time the behavior of the mysterious man is getting strange. He keeps on following Dian wherever he goes. Dian himself was ordinary at first until he finally became panicked and upset. He was upset that the man kept looking at him, and he was afraid because the man kept watching his movements.

"Is he an envoy from the Academy?" dian asked as he was about to walk into the cafe.

"If yes, then..."

Dian quickly entered the kitchen of the cafe and escaped through the back door. Unfortunately, the man managed to blind Dian, even matching his speed.

Dian felt threatened, not because he could not fight, but he was afraid of the state of his miss who was still in the Sun Flores store.

"I have to tell Miss first."

Dian then turned around, he took a big step to turn around and returned to the Plaza of the city. But just as he was about to turn around, the mysterious man was already right beside him.

Dian who was shocked then fell, he swiftly stood up then attacked the mysterious man. Dian attacked violently and targeted the man's vital point.

But all Dian's attacks can be faced by the man. Although he seemed overwhelmed, but finally Dian managed to be conquered by him.

Dian who locked up then forced a link with White. But unfortunately, when White was about to leave the pocket of Dian's clothes, White was caught by the mysterious man's magic animal.

Dian was then tied up, her mouth covered with a cloth. Dian who did not accept tried to rebel, but again he only got a defeat.

The man then lifted Dian and put her over his shoulder. Dian felt like a bag of rice being transported by a grocery merchant. Dian tried to scream, but all that came from her was the sound of the wind.

"Damn it!" maki Dian as the man was about to enter the magic portal. Dian had no idea where the mysterious man was going to take her, but to be sure, her condition was currently unfavorable.

"Miss, I hope you're okay," Dian shrieked as the magic portal started to activate and her body started to disappear.
