Invasion of the Moonstone (EN)

*16*

*Harry*

I stood nervously in place, crushing my bitten lip between my teeth. I was terribly afraid of his answer. There was a grave silence in the room so that no one would overhear His Majesty's answer. I stepped from place to place like a dog and began to believe more and more in a negative reaction. From Loui's point of view, there was nothing to read but pure surprise and shock. I would probably behave the same way in his situation but the silence was killing me. I needed either an answer or to disappear. Out of nowhere, he seemed to wake up from the shock and salty drops made their way across his cheeks, leaving streams on them. I didn't know how to react but I definitely didn't want to make him cry.

He was still silent for a moment before wiping his wet cheeks and looking into my eyes, which were still full of fear of rejection. "Yes," a simple one-word answer that made me the happiest person under the sun. I immediately pulled the perfect creature into my arms. I would have given him a kiss if it hadn't been too bold in front of such a large audience. I saw out of the corner of my eye Liam, who was perhaps even happier than I was. After his next act, I understood why. He kissed a black-haired boy who belonged to the blue-eyed brunette people in my arms, who also watched the two with a wide smile. We really achieved peace.

A few very busy months have passed. Specifically, it was exactly four. The peace contract was written and people were finally able to move from the only secure building in the area and to the surface. Our new allies also moved from the Moon to our planet and the agreed cooperation began. The original greenery and its beauty were slowly and surely returning to the earth. Although countless important things have happened in such a short time, today was absolutely the most important. Both for me and for the whole population. I won't be alone in a few minutes. Never. By my side will be the very beautiful and perfect person I have been waiting for so long. However, we will not be the only ones to celebrate their love on the same day.

Liam and Zayn will experience this moment with us. They are a perfect example for the future years of our coexistence. They will be officially the first married couple in which the man and the inhabitant of the Moon figure. It can't be our marriage with Louis because I'm only half human. I have a human father but my mother was the queen of the Diamond Millennium. She explained it to me in detail in the letter she left behind. There used to be two kingdoms beneath the lunar surface. Silver Millennium and Golden Millennium. She was the ruler of the very golden one. She took over the government at a really young age but she was excellent at it. There was a truce between the kingdoms for centuries, until Louis's father, the king of the second estate, claimed my mother as a wife.

She refused any opportunity to share a single family with him, as he was extremely cruel. He sent troops to kill her for not being rejected. She had no choice but to run away. More precisely on Earth. She lived in secrecy for centuries so that he would never found her, while the king married the highest-ranking noblewoman from her empire and almost by force united the two monarchies into one. He named it the Diamond Millennium and had almost every record of the fact that there were ever two kingdoms destroyed. He kept only one picture of my mother and hide it. Since all this was not possible without cruelty, the eyes of the whole people changed to blood red, instead of blue and green.

Exactly from this we can know who belonged to which county. Not that it would be solved now. Likewise, the two empires will be united into one but this time by love not by oppression and murder. Louis didn't want to believe it at first but eventually admitted that there must have been at least some truth to it, as there were superstitions and legends about why they had red eyes. Speaking of Louise, he should pass the huge door that leads to the ceremonial hall in a moment. Actually, not just Louis. He'll go with Zayn, who my best friend was waiting for a few inches next to me. The music came through the hall, thanks to which everyone present stood and looked back at the door. The two stood there in all their beauty before slowly walking down the alley in our direction.

I really don't know a more beautiful creature in the world than Louis.

*Louis*

I was quite nervous when the huge door opened. I squeezed Zayn's hand a little harder, which I held and looked at my groom. At that moment, I lost all breath. His cute dimples lit up the room as he looked in our direction. If I had been nervous before, it was all gone now. All that was left was Harry and an indescribable feeling of happiness. We walked slowly to our grooms and turned our attention to the earthly priest who was the first to speak. He said a prayer for our happiness, followed by the traditional sung prayer of a priest from our ranks.

At the right moment, we exchanged our marriage vows and with a loud YES the rings. My hands shook a little as I gave Harry his but I did it perfectly. At the invitation of both saints, we finally pressed our lips together in a loving kiss thus confirming our marriage. With a storm of applause and happy smiles, we left the crowded hall and headed for the banquet. The whole ceremony was broadcasted live, so that everyone could share this event with us. "It went much better than I expected," he broke the pleasant silence by my side. "Yes, I expected to be stressed by some problems but everything was fine," I smiled at him and hid in his safe arms a little bit more.

"By the way, the crown suits you very well," I looked at his head, where the jewel was sitting. It belonged to my grandfather but my father refused to wear it, so he had his own. "Thank you, I'm getting used to it," he laughed cheerfully, showing his white teeth and pits in his cheeks. We had fun with a similar spirit at the banquet all the time before it was time to go to the already common bed. Although I couldn't wait for tonight because Harry was just a god, I still couldn't avoid a small grain of fear. My husband probably noticed, as he just sat on the bed and waited to see if I would agree or not.

It's Harry, he wouldn't hurt me. With that thought, I walked over to him and made it clear enough that I could handle it. I've probably never experienced a better thing. His softness and tenderness was felt from every touch and kiss he gave me. Love flooded my whole body and was clearly felt throughout the room. Although it brought a lot of pain, I would not change the direction of my life, which I took. I would never meet this angel. 

"I love you, Harry."
