Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 178: Casino 1
There have been many significant events recently, but there is no need to go into detail. I'm currently at the home of Faghri, a man whose multiple residences indicate his wealth. This morning, Faghri surprised me by appearing on my doorstep with a new look.His hair, previously blonde, was now black - a drastic change that caught my attention. His appearance, so different from what I'm used to, was striking."Why, are you stunned?" Faghri inquired, maintaining his usual casual demeanor. Despite his reticence, there's a certain coolness about him.Noticing my astonishment, Faghri took the opportunity to clarify. "My hair is naturally black; I have dyed it before," he confessed. This revelation marked the first time I'd seen him with his natural hair color."And I have something important to tell you," he added, piquing my curiosity."An important matter?" I guessed it had to do with Rafe or Aline. As I looked at Faghri, he met my eyes, confirming my suspicion."My team has finally l

I had no time to rest. For a week, Faghri and I had worked tirelessly on this investigation, constantly asking ourselves, "Where was Rafe taken by Aline?" This question was the central mystery of our case, and we were deeply involved in trying to solve it.Our only lead was a vague indication that Rafe and Aline were now in Russia, but beyond that we had nothing concrete.This morning, sitting alone with only my hot coffee and a roll for company, I continued to pore over the reports, searching for some overlooked detail."We have to be careful," Faghri warned, breaking the silence. "All channels of information are under the control of Aline's father."I was well aware of the influence of Aline's father; after all, he was the President and wielded immense power. But the need for such a hands-on, manual investigation hadn't fully dawned on me until now.Suddenly, Faghri spoke up and pulled me out of my thoughts. "Luna, we have new information."Surprised, I turned to him, eager and worr

"I'm sure there's been a mistake," I interrupted the airport official who had just informed us that we were banned from flying. "We're not criminals, so why is there a red notice from Interpol intercepting our flight?""That's our business. Now go away," the officer replied, brandishing his gun alarmingly - a response completely outside normal operational standards.I nodded to Faghri and signaled that it was time to retreat, using the code we had agreed upon for such situations.We regrouped at one of Faghri's safe houses to devise a new plan."How do we get to Japan?" I asked Faghri, worried that our fastest route was now blocked.Aline's father, the newly elected president, seemed hell-bent on using every means at his disposal to prevent us from finding Aline and Rafe."I think we should resort to illegal means," Faghri suggested with a hint of determination.Illegal means? What exactly did Faghri suggest? Was it something dangerous or morally questionable? The gravity of the situa
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 181: Casino 4
In one place in Japan, a contemplative man named Rafe, wearing only a towel around his lower body, was reflecting deeply. He muttered to himself, "I... I can't resist anymore." In the bathroom, Alines was taking a long shower.Rafe's mind wandered back to a pivotal moment, the recitation of the Alpha Oath that had bound him to Alines in a way he couldn't resist. He remembered a critical moment when his restraint had saved Faghri's life, when he had consciously chosen not to pull the trigger.This memory intensified his realization of his current predicament: under Aline's influence, he felt an overwhelming sense of obedience, unable to resist her even in extreme situations. "Now I can't even challenge Aline, no matter what she does," he whispered, a sense of resignation in his voice.The scent of sweat lingered on him, a reminder of his recent intimate encounter with Aline. Lost in thought, Rafe stood, struggling with the weight of his circumstances and the consequences of his choices
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 182: Casino 5
In a world filled with unspeakable horrors and inexplicable evil, I find myself in a situation far from my usual path. I don't see myself as a knight in shining armor, but circumstances have brought me here: to a secret casino hidden from public view, known only to a select elite.Upon our arrival in Japan, Faghri remarked, "Japan strictly forbids gambling.His words hung in the air as we approached our obscure destination. "But remember," he added, "where there are laws, there's always a shadow of illegality."I was confused. "What are you implying?"With a knowing look, Faghri explained, "Gambling may be illegal in Japan, but that doesn't stop it from happening. This place we're going to? It's an exclusive, illegal casino, a well-kept secret among the wealthy."At first, I dismissed Faghri's words as a joke. However, reality hit me as we reached the entrance of this hidden gambling haven. The request to show our credit cards was a stark reminder of the elite and secretive world we w

Faghri and I found ourselves at the same gaming table as Aline and Rafe. I braced myself for what I expected to be a grueling game.Curious, I asked Faghri, "How much money is at stake here?"Faghri replied calmly, "I'll keep it under ten million dollars.Meanwhile, I noticed that Aline was handling a large quantity of chips and appeared to be in the process of converting the illegal funds into poker chips.Feeling overwhelmed, I leaned over and whispered to Faghri, "But I don't even know how to play.Realizing his oversight, Faghri's face had the shock of someone struck by lightning in a clear sky. "Ah, then you'll be my assistant," he decided quickly, causing me to rise from my seat. This sudden movement drew curious glances from the others, and Aline's expression registered surprise.When the game began, it was intense from the start. But one aspect stood out: Aline's strategy of going all-in at every opportunity.I couldn't help but wonder, "Is Aline racing against time?"As I wat

I watched Rafe's transformation with a sense of alarm. He seemed to lose his sense of self, overcome by an uncontrollable rage. With a violent lunge, he attacked Ekrah Faghri, adding to the intensity of their already vicious struggle.It was obvious that Rafe was under the influence of something beyond his control, his actions marked by a wild, unrestrained fury."Rafe, why? Why did you kill Aline?" he shouted, his rage probably amplified by the effects of the Alpha Oath."Rafe, calm down!" I pleaded, but my words could not penetrate his confused mind.In his frenzied state, Rafe managed to overpower two of Faghri's men with his powerful blows, knocking them to the ground.As I witnessed the chaos, I couldn't help but exclaim, "This is terrible!Determined to reach Rafe, I started to run toward him, but Faghri quickly stepped in and held me back."Luna, he's not the Rafe you know anymore," Faghri yelled, trying to make me see the dangerous truth of the situation.Rafe's gaze turned in

I still ventured into that dreamland as if it had become a familiar refuge. But this visit was different.Instead of Diabolos, I was greeted by an enchantingly beautiful woman."Welcome, Luna," she said warmly, taking my hand in a welcoming gesture, while I stood in stunned silence, unsure of the unfolding scenario.Perplexed, I managed to say, "What's going on?""Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet," the woman replied, her laughter tinged with a captivating charm. Her presence was undeniably mesmerizing."I am the remains of a woman deeply in love with a man," she revealed, her voice echoing with poetic sadness."You're familiar with Diabolos, aren't you?" she asked, and I nodded in agreement.I was well aware of Diabolos, the enigmatic being who often drew me into this bizarre realm."I am his mistress," she declared, sending a wave of shock through me. If her words were true, then she was the catalyst for Diabolos' obsession with mortality and his perilous quest.Horrifi

We visited my grandmother's grave and found the place unkempt. As Rafe had mentioned, her grave had remained intact, contradicting my belief that it had been torn down due to the surrounding new construction."Luna, come on," Rafe urged, leading me to the cemetery.I grabbed some tools and started clearing the overgrown grass."Why hasn't this cemetery been torn down?" I asked, aware of the ruthless business tactics often employed these days, where even homes are not spared for the sake of profit."The company that owns the adjacent property is having financial difficulties," Rafe informed me.Then he added, "I plan to buy all that land," leaving me stunned."Thank you," I said, realizing that expressing gratitude had become a habit for me. I truly appreciated all that he had done.After tending to the grave, Rafe and I decided to dine at a nearby restaurant. Its simple charm was refreshing, a reminder of how much I missed such unpretentious places.Having spent the past month indulgi

I never thought it would end. The last few months have been really exhausting for me and I'm glad they're finally over."Luna, what are you going to wear?" Rafe asked as he approached me with a group of people behind him. They seemed to be famous fashion designers."What do you think would look good on me?" I replied, bringing out Rafe's playful side."Anything looks good on you, Luna," he flirted, earning nothing more than a playful flick of my tongue in return. Rafe laughed heartily, his demeanor so different from before.He seemed much more alive and approachable now, almost like a new person."Did you hear about Faghri? He's going to run for president," Rafe announced, taking me completely by surprise. Faghri, once notorious for his ruthless ways, had transformed himself into a respectable figure, and now he was eyeing the presidency."Rafe, you're serious, aren't you?" I asked, looking for confirmation in his expression. He nodded solemnly, confirming the surprising news."I'm se

That morning, the shocking news reverberated across all media platforms, sending waves of disbelief around the world. Television programs, newspapers, and online outlets all carried the same headline: "Assassination at the President's Office: President Etas fatally shot by trusted aide". The uniformity of the reports, which all followed the same chronology, was striking, with not a single source challenging the narrative of President Etas' untimely demise.In stark contrast to this grim news, a more personal story was unfolding in an old but grand home. Here, Rafe and Aline were seen in a tender embrace, their affection evident in front of Rafe's parents. The atmosphere was one of familial warmth and impending change."Rafe, have you decided who you are going to marry?" inquired Rafe's father, a hint of expectation in his voice. Rafe's answer was a nod, followed by a frank admission, "Legally, I am married to Luna. But in matters of the heart, not yet." His words revealed a complicate

The presidential palace was eerily quiet that day, a stark contrast to the tightly secured perimeter outside. Inside, however, the atmosphere in the President's private chamber was anything but calm.Aline's father, the President, was visibly seething with rage. His face was contorted with rage, the veins on his neck were pronounced, and his body tensed as if ready to spring into action. The anger inside him had reached a boiling point."Bastards! I'll kill them all," he roared, the words thick with raw emotion.The tragic death of his daughter Aline had devastated him. Ironically, he had denied her Secret Service protection out of respect for her wishes to engage in something illegal, a decision he now bitterly regretted."I swear, everyone involved will pay," he bellowed, his tone dripping with vehemence.In a fit of desperation, he threw a paper across his desk, his demeanor mirroring that of someone lost in a terrifying episode of unbridled madness.At that moment, there was a ten

On the other side of the picturesque park where love once blossomed, next to a quiet street, Faghri sat alone, lost in thought."It seems I took too long to realize it," he murmured to himself, reflecting on his past mistakes.It was a moment of deep regret for Poria. He lamented that he had not met Luna earlier and thought about a different fate."If I had met Luna earlier, would I have been the one she loved?" Faghri wondered aloud.He sat brooding in solitude, struggling with a fate that seemed inexplicable and unfair."Never mind," he finally sighed, trying to accept what he couldn't change.As tears trickled down his cheeks, Faghri quickly wiped them away, trying to regain his composure.Looking back, he noticed that Luna and Rafe had returned. They seemed to have reconciled and returned to normal. Faghri watched them, a mixture of relief and sadness in his heart."How was it? Was the curse finally lifted?" asked Faghri, trying to maintain a calm and undisturbed demeanor regardin

Luna chased Rafe to the edge of the highway, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and determination. Rafe stood dangerously close to the edge, his eyes a lifeless gray that reflected his apparent resignation to ending his life."Rafe!" Luna's voice broke through the tense air, a mixture of fear and relief coloring her tone.Rafe turned, his expression one of disbelief. "Why are you here?" he asked, his words laced with disbelief.Without a word, Luna delivered a powerful punch to Rafe's cheek, leaving him momentarily stunned. Her voice, trembling with a cocktail of emotions, scolded him, "What's the point of us surviving all this time if you're just going to throw your life away?"As Rafe looked at her, his eyes changed, darkening with a resurgence of hatred. "Luna...go away. I don't want to kill you," he said softly, his voice strained with the effort of suppressing his darker impulses.It was all because of the Alpha Oath that Rafe harbored a deep-seated desire for revenge agai

I opened the letter Faghri had just given me. It was a letter written directly from Rafe, who was nowhere to be found.**To Luna,I know I've caused you a lot of trouble. I selfishly planned to save us both from this terrible fate, but now I realize that may not be possible. It seems that one of us must make a sacrifice, and I have chosen to be the one to do so.Luna, perhaps we will meet again in our next reincarnation, hopefully free of this curse. Before I met you, I lived a lonely life, but your presence brought color to my world.For you, Luna, I cannot break the Alpha Oath. After Aline's death, my desire for revenge has grown. I am torn between wanting to hurt you and loving you.You no longer need to look for me. If my father asks, please give him this letter. I do not want to bring suffering to anyone, so I have decided to end my life.I believe the waves will take me to the next life.Thank you, Luna.**The message ended with my heart racing wildly. This message was a clear
