Daughter of the Moon

Chapter 23

☾☾Manny

Manny and Lady Solar were casually swaying side to side to the music. The lunar king hummed to the music from time to time in his wife's ears. She would smile and giggle at her husband's silliness, "Manny, it's not appropriate to hum in my ear like that." 

"Like what?" Lady Solar laughed at Manny's playfulness, reminding her of their younger times. Manny sighed and twirled his wife, "My queen, you look beautiful today." 

"That's because I have a meeting in 30 minutes, my love."

Manny shook his head and kissed her forehead, "Do you remember when we first met?" 

The solar queen sighed into Manny's chested, hiding her blush, "Oh sweet sunlight, that was so embarrassing." Manny chuckled.

The former Tsar and Tsarina of the Moon held a ball, in celebration for signing a peace treaty with the Tsar and Tsarina of the Sun. Manny was about 18 when this was held. He was wearing a very uncomfortable outfit with a silver blouse and navy blue dress suit. His mother would scold him from time to time as he played with his collar. 

"But, mother. This is very uncomfortable." 

The Tsarina smiled, "I'm sorry, Mim. You should've packed better clothing." She ruffed his hair. 

He laughed and took mother's arm, "Would you like to dance, mother?" The Tsarina nodded, as Manny guided her to the dance floor. He made a few funny faces, making his mother laugh. 

Once the music changed, the Tsar tapped on to Manny's shoulder, "May I have a go?" 

"Of course, father." Manny turned to his mother and bowed, "Pleasure dancing with you." 

The Tsarina giggled and curtsied to her son,"The pleasure is all mine, Mim."

Manny chuckled at the nickname and watch his father dance with his mother. They looked like two dandelions, swaying in the wind. He wished that he had someone like that, but thirst was currently on his mind. 

Manny walked over the the drink table and poured a drink of wine in his glass. He was so grateful that he was at age to drink. He knew the consequences, but some people need to drink. Just when he was about to drink, a sudden body pressed onto him, making him and the unknown person topple on top of each other. 

Manny groaned, "Are you okay?" He looked up to the most magnificent golden brown eyes. 

"Oh my sunlight, I'm so sorry. I totally ruined your blouse." Manny tuned out all noise around him and stared at the beautiful creature in front of him. He felt her small hand pat on dry napkins onto his damp blouse. "Really, I'm so sorry. Damn, I'm such a klutz." 

Manny mentally shook his head, "I'm fine really." 

"Oh, but I ruined your night. I just ran into and got your nice outfit all ruined." The girl sighed, running out of breath. She gasped, "And I'm still on you. I'm so sorry." The golden goddess climbed off of Manny and pulled him up. 

Manny clasped onto her hand and smiled, "I'm fine." He kissed her hand, still making eye contacted, "What's your name?" 

"Solar, Tsarevna Stella Solar." 

Manny smirked, as he saw light blush, creeping onto her cheeks, "Manny, Tsarevich Manny Lunar."
