*Harry*

I hurried to the shelter, where I had to arrange everything. It wasn't as easy as anyone might think. First, I had to convene a meeting of all the important representatives on my part, where Ed and Liam could not be missing. Since no one knew what was going on, everyone was quite confused. I had to pluck them several times to keep them quiet before I could start talking. "Look, I have a big news. There will be a peace meeting with the creatures at noon tomorrow. I met one of them today and before you went crazy, he wasn't armed and I was. He didn't want to kill me, so I didn't have a reason to hut him either and I could talk to him in peace. Please put the lectures aside now and focus on the main goal of this meeting. "I shouted as they began to run away from the topic.

"Thank you," I exhaled as everyone calmed down so I could continue. "I learned that they thought we had started the attack, which is basically impossible because we didn't even know they existed and I told him that clearly but it didn't have much of an effect. I thought we could see for ourselves what it was and whether he was really telling the truth. I wanted to do it in silence but he insisted on a peaceful meeting, so report to those who want to come with me." I looked around the room and counted raised hands, which included my friends. After all, they would have to go anyway when they are my most important representatives. "Well, that's settled. Now it is necessary to make sure that there is no surprise and disruption of the meeting," I began to give instructions on how it all had to go and what measures have to be prepared before I went to my bedroom.

I thought about Louis as soon as I went to bed with the intention of getting a good night's sleep. How will he take the fact that I am the leader of the other party he is fighting against all the time? Will he be disappointed or perhaps upset? I was sincerely afraid of tomorrow and especially his reaction. I was afraid he would never want to see me again. The very thought poured giant fear and sadness into my heart, even though I didn't really know him outside of dreams. After several hours of rolling in bed, I was finally able to fall asleep and meet his image even outside of reality. Tonight, however, he seemed quite sad and stressed but I wasn't much better off. We didn't say even half a word all the time and just sat next to each other on the bench.

In the morning, the sound of an alarm clock, which I had set so that I wouldn't fall asleep by accident and have time to prepare, tore me out of my dream. My first steps led straight to the shower so that I could relax a little and not be so terribly tense. It didn't help much but that's not important. After performing the necessary hygiene, I put on dark clothes, which I probably wear all the time but never outside when I go to my place. I also didn't forget the mask, which was different from yesterday's. It was completely different from everyone to see that the one who wore it was the leader. It was about half an hour before noon when I had it properly on my head and waited for us to leave.


*Louis*

It was not difficult to prepare all the preparations and still make sure that nothing went wrong. I definitely didn't plan on coming there without a backup plan in case something went wrong. I do not want to blame the deaths of my friends and my homeland just because the human race has decided to deceive us. It is always better to have an insurance policy than to regret it. I trusted Harry, even though it was foolish and hasty because I didn't know him very wel, but for some reason I knew he wouldn't hurt me. I had to smile at the thought but my smile faded when I realized a fact. Harry doesn't know that I'm the prince who basically started the war because our kingdom was destroyed. There has been sadness on my face ever since.

I didn't want him to hate me. In a way, I liked him, if not loved him, even though I resisted it for a long time and didn't want to admit it. It would destroy me if he hated me. I had to shake my head at my thoughts and preferred to go to my bed. I no longer had to deal with anything other than a restful sleep, which also came after a while but I couldn't hide my sadness in it either. I wanted to talk to Harry so much again but I didn't decide to talk and he was just silent. This went on until the morning hours, when the servants woke me up with the unpleasant morning rays that shone in my face. I don't know a worse awakening, even though it's probably a lie.

Because it was a diplomatic meeting, I didn't want to seems like a dirty incentive, so my first step was a good bath. It always managed to bring me to other thoughts but today was an exception. My mind and body were under a lot of stress from today's plans and how Harry would take all this. But I didn't have time to deal with my thoughts, I had to prepare quickly. With the help of my servants, I put on the traditional clothes of our noble classes, which differed from our typical perhaps only in a silver cloak, and had my crown, which I liked best, even though Ihad to wear the one after my father, which was also the crown jewel but it was never comfortable.

After looking in the mirror, which was as big as the whole room, I headed for my friends to make sure everything was as it should be and there are no surprises. The last check of our plans has taken place, as well as the vessels that will set out today with me and the members of the commander of the Earth race for an expedition to my homeland, or the Moon. I was so looking forward to seeing my only sister again after such a long time.
