There greedy and they want to make a point so they will go with any plan that furthers there ends. Snake though, I have a feeling that horn is fake. Maybe attached to a crown of some sort to make those he talks to mis identify him.

I wonder what the plan was, I mean they just keep trying to kidnap Luna.

I think the poor Griffon is a trap, one that will literally blow up in Celestia's face. Snake would use the Griffons in a false attempt to kidnap Luna for a greater prize. He's just that sneaky.

Loyalty is a knife and it cuts both ways. Celestia knows how to inspire Loyalty. Snake knows how to abuse it. Lets see which way it cuts.

The slave slowly climbs the stairs, straining and groaning the whole way, and drops the scroll near the throne before trying to back down the stairs, only to slip and tumble his way back down instead. When he lands, some of the baggage strewn around him, he starts getting a verbal barrage of screeching and roaring from the ambassador in the native griffon language, much of which would not be appropriate to be translated or reproduced here.

In the words of an old song "Slander. Libel. Words you'll never find in a Bible"

"Outrageous! If we were at full power, we would thrash them all for their impunity (impudence) right now!" Princess Luna exclaims in indignation, angry at her order being so crudely rebuffed.

"Hmph, tea parties! No wonder that darkness lasted as long as it did." the griffon ambassador states with a great deal of contempt on his face. "All that interbreeding has made our old rivals soft, putting them to guard frivolous things like this and perform for the amusement of those ground bound!"

Do you mean "inbreeding"?

Agent Snake had quite a sight in front of him. To his left was the griffon ambassador stuck in bed, casts over two of his legs and moaning in pain - Cadance had broken several ribs in addition to the two legs. To his right, a young female griffon going on and on about.....how.... her trip to Ponyville had been ruined. Under the cloak, the smile was very amused indeed.

The recent second attempt at abduction of Princess Luna had lead (led) the moon princess to demand to immediately address the entire griffon diplomatic party. With both the ambassador himself and two of his guards crippled by broken bones, they had to be moved on stretchers by medical staff to the designated meeting place. Once the entire party had been assembled, the griffon ambassador was browbeaten into confessing his cooperation with the Agents of Chaos to further their own ends. Condemned by his own words, the ambassador had little choice but to accept the sentence given to him by Luna - unilateral revocation of his status as ambassador to the Equestrian kingdom. That meant he had 24 hours to leave Canterlot and start the return trip to his own realms - if he did not leave in that timeframe, then he probably would've been arrested and executed as a result of his actions.
