Lux and Luna danced, staring into each other's eyes with smiles on their faces.
Their steps were elegant and graceful, seemingly experienced. Both of them had taken dancing lessons from the choreographer that Francesca hired a month ago just for this very scene.
Both of them wished for the song to be a little longer, but contrary to their wishes, the song soon came to an end.
Suddenly, the tolling of a bell resounded in the night, making Lux look sadly at his partner.
Without saying a word, he left the scene and rushed toward the palace garden in haste.
After a moment of hesitation, Luna followed, almost running in order to catch up to him, with a hint of anxiety on her face.
A few minutes later, she found the Prince, standing at the center of the garden, illuminated by the moonlight.
"It's time to say goodbye," Lux said as he turned around to look at the young lady. "It was fun while it lasted."
