The reformed King?

by Ravenray

3 Princesses 1 King

The 3 princess sat together on the floor, resting on pillows to keep themselves comfortable, they were all currently gossiping about different things that happened in their respective kingdoms, they all smiled and laughed with each other as they did so.

Meanwhile the unicorn King Sombra sat in the back corner, not finding any humour in any of their discussions and therefore couldn't share in the laughter nor was he in anyway interested in doing so, instead the King was contemplating, mostly on his first move after getting his power back, in front of him were his three greatest threats, without them in the way he would be unstoppable, the crystal heart was limited to the crystal empire so he was safe from that threat and Cadence stood no chance against his dark magic, however he couldn't allow himself to get over confident, that's what curst him before however that wouldn't happen again, he wouldn't make any mistakes, he would be calculating and take down his enemies down with precision. "Hey Sombra come join us".

Sombra shot out from his thoughts and his head quickly jerked around until his eyes landed on the three confused princesses, Twilight being the one who had asked him the question "oh, my apologies, I guess I just went into deep thought, but I suppose I can join in the conversation" with a deep breath Sombra finally decided to trot over to the princesses, Celestia and Twilight, Sombra sat up regally, his posture making him tower over everyone else who were either lying down or louched over, though Sombra had to admit his position wasn't very comfortable, and so he repositioned himself to lying on his stomach.

The three royals decided to make up situation and try and come up with different solutions on how to fix them "ok ok I got one, a new popular trend starts and everyone wants the merchandise that comes from it, one day two ponies begin to fight over wanting to get the last of a particular toy for their children, what do you don't?" Celestia asked.

Everyone began to contemplate on the best cource of action till Sombra cut the silence "get the ponies to grow up and if they can't then ban whatever started the trend, or I suppose you could just arrest the two involved in the assault and use them as an example for what happens to any idiots who go to war over simple merchandise" Sombra responded.

Luna thought for a moment before speaking "out of curiosity, how long would you keep these 'criminals' in custody?" Luna asked.

Sombra shrugged "perhaps around a month, it's not too strict however it's strict enough to send a shiver down anyone's spine if they dare consider to fight for a store item, it's the perfect solution" Sombra explained.

Celestia was a bit surprised "that...makes a lot of sense, I personally would make a public announcement about the issue and how any further action of that sort will be dealth with punishment, though I suppose your suggestion makes sense."

The three ponies continued their conversations, as they continued the unicorn King took part more and more interested in the discussions even making some of his own.
"So even after all the mad things Discord has done that put lives in danger you are still convinced he's reformed? Isn't that illogical? As in very illogical? You are allowing him to do whatever he wishes which could lead to him going back to his old ways" Sombra asked, mostly considering if Discord could be a problem if he attempts to take over once again, he couldn't take down the beast in the past over a thousand years ago, it definitely wouldn't work now.

Luna shook her head before explaining "while I did originally agre with that point of view the main point is Discords pranks aren't harming anyone, on top of this he fixes everything once he is done, unlike before his actions do not have long lasting impacts, while yes it may be annoying sometimes however just because he can be an annoyance isn't enough for us to press charges against him, after all he hasn't turned any kingdoms into full on chaos...recently at least" Princess Luna explained with a slight smile "this goes for you as well Sombra, you won't be cooped up in anyway either, unless you went over bored of course" Luna added with a slight chuckle, while Sombra smirked before going to the saddle bag he still brought with him under his cape, took out a piece of paper and took out a pencil and began uncomfortable writing with his mouth.

Celestia looked slightly confused before turning to Twilight "um Twilight, what is Sombra doing? What is he writing about?" Celestia asked, trying to see what the King was writing though his head was in the way.

Twilight couldn't help but giggle slightly "Sombra enjoys taking notes of new things he's learned from this day and age, since it's so much different from a thousand years ago he felt like taking note of everything would be the best way to remember it all" Twilight explained as Sombra finished his note taking, due to having to hold the pencil in his mouth the writing was very messy, however it was still readable for someone with a good eye at least.

Celestia couldn't help but laugh, as confused looks fell on her she decided to explain "oh forgive me, but all the note writing reminded me of Twilight a bit, I just felt it was funny since I chose Twilight to reform you because of how similar the two of you seemed" Sombra and Twilight glanced at each other, blushing slightly "which reminds me, if you don't mind me asking...why was Sombra sleeping in your room Twilight?" Sombra's and Twilight's eyes immediately went wide and their cheeks flushed extremely red.

Twilight immediately went defensive, waving her hoofs in a protective matter "I DON'T KNOW OK, I DRANK TOO MUCH AND HE WAS THERE WHEN I WOKE UP" Twilight shouted all in a few seconds before gasping for air "...do you remember Sombra?" Twilight asked

Sombra gulped slightly, blushing slightly more before turning away "of course I remember! I simply carried you home, put you in bed and was too tired to go to my room so I slept beside you! Nothing else alright!" Celestia and Luna couldn't help but roll on their backs laughing at Sombra's embarrassment.

Sombra was slightly taken aback as he felt too hooves rap around his stomach, he turned around to see Twilight hugging him from behind "thank you Sombra, thank you for looking out for me, I don't know where I'd be if you weren't there to help me" Twilight smiled, snuggling against him.

Sombra was left stunned for a few moments "uhh.umm, n-no problem" Sombra stuttered, clearly taken aback by Twilight's actions, Celestia and Luna were surprised as well, but couldn't help but smile and surprisingly, even though he felt he didn't want to Sombra smiled too.

Celestia stretched out her forelegs and let out a yawn "how's about we all get some cake and coffee hmm? I'll be right back" Celestia got up and then walked out of the room.

Luna looked from Celestia to Luna and back to Celestia before a slight smirk came to the night princesses face "I shall help her" Luna said before getting up and trotting to the door, close behind Celestia.

Twilight lay down beside the unicorn King, still smiling happily, while Sombra got rid of the blush on his face and got comfortable once again "Twilight...I think I..I think I..actually enjoy your company" Sombra spoke with a slight studded of uncertainty.

Twilight smiled and nuzzled Sombra's cheek "thanks Sombra...I enjoy your company as well, I admit, when Celestia brought you here I thought I'd hate it, but, I enjoyed it and I still am, I feel like you've thought me so much and have given me a new perspective on life, on top of that you have actually tried and I feel like you have changed and...I'm glad cause you seem happy with those changes, so I don't feel like I'm forcing you..I don't want to force you into anything, so seeing you be yourself is the greatest thing to me" Twilight yawned before nuzzling closer to the unicorn King.

Sombra smiled and wrapped a hoof around Twilight "I don't know if I feel like this due to having no magic, or if my feelings right now are fully genuine but I..I care about you Twilight and whatever happens I want you to know...I'll never kill you" Sombra promised, suddenly Twilight turned the unicorns face towards her own and kissed him on the lips, Sombra didn't resist, instead he embraced it, they rolled over to Twilight resting on top of Sombra as they continued, enjoying every second of it.

Meanwhile Celestia and Luna were outside the room, with big smirks on their faces "perhaps they'll need a few more minutes, or hours" Luna and Celestia sniggered before trotting away "have fun Sombra" Celestia thought.

Twilight and Sombra easy to imagine had a lot of fun, they had stopped thinking and we're now just enjoying each other's company, Twilight rested her head on Sombra's chest, he was so soft and was only made better by the slow rise and fall of his chest, Sombra chuckled "my my princess, that wasn't something that I was expecting" he joked.

Twilight laughed before wrapping her hooves around the back of his neck "I don't here you complaining you though my King~" Twilight giggled.

Sombra couldn't help but chuckling along "no..no I amn't" he said before kissing her ear causing a thrilling shiver to run down Twilight's back causing her to giggle once again as she wagged her tail from the thrill. The two Royals were having the time of their life in a situation needer of them had predicted, no calculation, no theory, nothing hinted at this thing happening, which in a way made it all that more better, this wasn't about a system with planning or lists or predictability, it was as if it was fate, something that couldn't simple be explained, all it was was..love.

About an hour later the two Royal sisters returned to Twilight's room, when they returned they saw the unicorn King and the the young lavender alicorn curled up together fast asleep. A small grin grey on Celestia's face as she got an idea, she then slowly crept up beside Sombra and whispered into his ear "Soooommmbraaaa" she whispered,struggling not to laugh.

Sombra groaned and turned to the side "ehh, 5 more minutes" he grumbled causing the two Royal sisters to burst out laughing. Sombra slowly woke up and at first was confused till he realised he was asleep on the floor with the young alicorn "ha ha very funny, grow up and get colt friends of your own already" Sombra mocked.

Twilight woke up shortly after the unicorn King, letting out a peaceful yawn, she then noticed Celestia and Luna in the room and her face flushed red before burying her face in Sombra's chest as the rest of them began to laugh. Celestia then took out the plates of cakes that she went to get in the first place along with the cups of coffe "well I got the cakes so what's say we all relax for the rest of the night" they all nodded in agreement before they all relaxed on the floor once again.

<*>

A few hours later everyone turned in for the night. Celestia had went off to bed while Luna had ventured off to the dream realm "well, I guess I'll turn in for the night as well, goodnight Twilight" As Sombra began to walk away he felt a slight tug on his cape.

He turned around and saw Twilight with his cape in her mouth, she blushed slightly in embarrassment before letting go "Sombra I noticed that you seem to have those nightmares when you are sleeping alone, so would you like to stay here instead" Twilight asked, looking away in embarrassment.

Sombra smirked and nuzzled Twilight softly "sure Twilight, after all it wouldn't be the first time~" the two of them couldn't help but laugh as Twilight helped Sombra take off his attire and the two relaxed together after a long day that'll change their lives forever.

However...is Sombra...truly reformed?
