Been a Bit, so here's a Mated For Life Snippet! · 7:45pm Jul 20th, 2021
"I'd be lying if I didn't say both, my Queen," Pearl replied, gritting his teeth angrily. "She's scum, plain and simple. I'd love to be the one to finally put her down."
“And how exactly do you believe we’d be able to do so when your clearly trained unit failed?” I asked, glancing down at my small baby bump. “Not only do I not think it’d be wise for me to expend my energy fighting, but more importantly I have no desire to put our baby in harm’s way.
“I concur,” Richard said, his arm wrapping around me until his hand rested on my stomach. “And even if it was just you two and I fighting, what exactly could I do to someone so apparently powerful? I can barely control my magic as it is.”
“You were ready to go hoof to hoof with Celestia,” Fleetfoot said accusingly, missing the annoyed look Pearl shot her.
“Yes I was,” Richard admitted, not backing down in the slightest. “To protect Chrissy, to protect our child I would do anything and more to the one threatening them, regardless of whether or not I think I actually could. But this Hard Iron lady isn’t threatening Chrissy or our child. She’s threatening the livelihoods of a group of homeless Ponies, none of which I frankly give two fucks about.”
“And neither does Celestia,” Fleetfoot argued fiercely. “The difference is that while she has left them to the dust, YOU could make a difference in their lives and gain something that you dearly need. Subjects!”
“Yes, by somehow killing a mare that has eluded Pearl and his previous unit multiple times.”
“She lives in a mansion right by them, my King,” Pearl spoke up, catching Fleetfoot off guard as she swallowed whatever she had been able to say. “When my old unit and I tracked her down, she was always on the move. She always had a backup plan and always managed to get away. But if you go right to her home, that just might be the type of move that catches her off guard. She’d never expect it, certainly not from you.”
“Even then,” I cut in, eyeing Pearl sceptically. “What exactly are Richard and you two going to do when inside her mansion?”
“Bring her down my Queen,” Pearl replied, his tone strong and yet his words…uncertain.
“How strong is she Pearl?” I asked, my eyes narrowing as he winced.
“She’s…very powerful my Queen,” he admitted. “She’s a Unicorn that specializes in electromancy. Her control of it is something I’ve never seen before. She uses electricity like a toy.”
“And what exactly am I supposed to do against someone like that?” Richard asked, shaking his head.
“We could catch her by surprise, my King,” Fleetfoot interjected. “Take her down before she even knows we’re there.”
“Good idea, but what if she does notice he’s there?” I piped up, not bothering to hide my anger at this increasingly stupid sounding idea. “No need to answer, I’ll tell you. She’ll kill him, and then you two. And then not only will I lose the love of my life, but our baby will die from lack of love and I’ll lose it as well. So do you two have any other useful ideas that don’t get my mate killed, or should we just drop this ridiculous idea here and now before I lose my temper and do something that I’ll likely regret!”
I didn’t realize it at first, but as I finished talking…or more to the point, yelling at Fleetfoot, I noticed that my breathing was more than a little irregular. My eyes were glowing a bright green, my reflection clear as day in Fleetfoot’s fearful eyes.
“N-No my Queen, I didn’t mean to…” she trailed off, clearly unsure what to say.
“Chrissy.” I turned my gaze onto Richard, his clear expression of concern all but knocking the fight out of me. “It’s alright, I’m not going to do it.”
“Good,” I breathed, relaxing my magic and myself as I leaned against him. “Infiltrating a mob boss’s mansion is a ridiculous idea that will only get you killed, all of you killed.” I looked at our two subjects as I said this, making sure my intent was known.
well shit! I cant wait!!!
Neat sub plot
"Took you long enough," says the double extra hypocrite.
