Getting into Canterlot had been simple. But someone, likely the alicorn Celestia, had detected her and made proper arrangements.

As the shield went up and the guards were sent out, Chrysalis at first thought her disguise was working exceptionally well against these ponies. But as she watched the soldiers wander their patrol lines and announcers make reference to an indistinct “threat,” the truth became clear.

Celestia knew she was in Canterlot…but she had no idea who or what she was.

And that position had her running scared.

It was a fortunate turn of events. The plan would need to be altered, of course, but it was better to have the ponies wary now than when the attack was to actually commence.

All that was left was to secure the control of the pony behind the shield…who, as luck would have it, was about to be married.
