//------------------------------// // Speech // Story: Princessy // by not plu //------------------------------// My name is Celeste and I am sixteen years old. Above all, I love Equestria. I live in the large castle up on the mountain and I am the queen of Equestria. I am your queen now, and shall be your queen until my dying day. For seven years you were ruled by a tyrant. For three years almost directly after, you were ruled by... by my sister Luna, who... who... I’m sorry. This is very, very hard for me. I loved my little sister very much. I saw her as innocent and wonderful. I didn’t know she was capable of so much darkness. I came here to apologize to you for these past ten years, but we all know that it was out of my control. Even so, I know there are still hard feelings. I’m sorry for not being perfect. I’m sixteen years old and I... should get back to my speech. My parents died for our country, and I plan to continue in their legacy. I know it has been rough in Equestria for the past ten years, and I want to apologize for that. I also want to reassure you that we shall enter a new era in Equestria. An era of peace, harmony, and happiness. I pray that you love me as your queen as I love you as my people. Now is a new dawn is Equestria. We have exited the darkness. Now is the time for light. Thank you. That’s all I have written, but I can sense the tension is our country. The longer this goes unsaid, the more people will talk. Luna was unprepared to rule this country. She was suddenly forced into it, and it took a toll on her mental health. She is currently recovering somewhere safe and isolated. It was not an easy decision to make, but I had no choice. I still love her. Thank you for not, uh, revolutionizing. Heh. My name is Queen Celeste and I am your queen. Thank you, Equestria. Thank you.
