This story is a sequel to Pink Royal Blood

Arriving to his castle always felt like a relief, even though he knew he had to be seen by others, both the important Ponies, and his peers among the Royals. That he had managed, this time.

Homecomings always made him relax, just as going made him nervous. All the Ponies who wanted to be associated with him, mainly for being a Prince. Knowing it is unavoidable would never make it easier.

His subjects need him in their everyday lives. He is important and he knew it. He made an effort to make it stay this way, and to assure them knowing of it.

Only this homecoming had a few shocks and surprises in store for the good Prince. Things would never be quite the same. One overly well performed treat would see to it. Yet, there was more to the changes, than the one treat.

Have you wondered why Lord Tirek was attacking trees?

After storming into Princess Celestia's personal study unannounced, Twilight Sparkle soon learns her yearly battles against the forces of evil are a little more scripted than she'd thought.

And this year, Princess Celestia might've just outdone herself.

Now with a youtube reading! Here!

This story is a sequel to If You Came to Conquer

Princess Nightmare Moon had tried to keep it secret. She had suppressed her power, feigned ignorance, played the outdated fool at every opportunity. She should have known that something like this would happen. A threat that would reveal her, whether she played dumb or not.

If she had to reveal herself, then at least she could protect Equestria in the process. She nocked the arrow. The bow felt so flimsy, but she could not risk him absorbing a spell. She laced magic across the arrow and the string and the air, enough to make it fly faster and aim smoother. She sighted him easily; Tirek was a large target. Now he only had to turn around. An arrow to the spine would kill him simply and instantly, no matter how much magic he had absorbed.

Once he was dead, the hard part would come: explaining herself to Celestia.

Nightmare Moon won. She defeated Celestia, broke the Elements, banished the sun. This all happened a very long time ago. So long ago, that she has had plenty of time to change her mind.

Of course, fixing our mistakes is never so simple, and never without consequences. Even with particularly potent help.

Daring Do is a normal family friendly book series, but what happens when it's author A.K. Yearling is told by her publisher to add something juicier?

Can this famous writer/adventurer get over the awkwardness of making up some saucy moments that involve herself?

Take a wild guess on the answer.

While in the midst of its daily musings, Canterlot's mountain finds its focus drawn to a single stranger studying one of its slopes.

Trigger warning: long monologues.

Celestia's done the math: Prince Blueblood has cost the kingdom several billion bits in unpaid tabs, half-eaten cake and other expenses. She orders him to get a job to start to pay off his debts. And the only pony willing to hire him? The current manager of Sugarcube Corner: Ms. Pinkie Pie.

Uh oh.
