Oh boy...
"So to recap, no sexual innuendo's around Celestia?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Pretty much, but Knowing our luck, you'll come out with something anyway" Twilight sighed as she linked arms with me.
as we walked through the main Gate and up to the large entrance to the courtyard, I simply looked around.
The guards kept an eye on me for some unknown reason, that is until one finally spoke.
"Excuse me, sir... but.... civilians aren't allowed in castle grounds" The guard stated.
I simply shrugged. Twilight simply cleared her throat as the guard turned to look at her.
"You must be new here" I chuckled. the guard then apologized to Twilight ushering her into the castle.
she grabbed my arm and Teleported me inside the throne room, where foreign dignitaries all turned to look at me.
"oh boy" I sighed with a small look of defeat, as Guardsmen slowly circled around me.
Twilight had just walked in a few minutes later as she heard Luna shouting in her usual way. "GUARDSMEN, RELEASE GALLANT KNIGHT THIS INSTANT" Twilight burst through the door shouting apologies.
"Princess, sorry about that, the Guards outside wouldn't let him in... so ...I kinda teleported him in" I face-palmed.
One of the older Guards looked over, "is that... Twilight Sparkle?" She simply nodded.
"Aquilinus... It's been too long" she walked over and gave the old man a hug. "You're still on the Guard I see"
I watched as the two conversed and then walked over to Celestia, She herself was currently locked in a heated discussion with Griffin dignitaries. "... but surely you understand?"
"of course I do, Princess... but the fact remains that he could end up being a threat to our world, You said it yourself that his world is a world of Terror," I sighed as I walked away. "and...That's him walking away isn't it"
Celestia simply nodded.
"Gallant Knight? could you come back here please?"
I rolled my eyes and walked back. "yes, Celestia?"
"this is one of the Griffin High council members, his name is Lord Esper"
"Esper? so... what do you want?"
"well... uh... to see if the rumors were true, You have the sword right?"
I looked up at him for a moment. "Left it in Ponyville, It's not like there's a new threat to Equestria or the world or anything like that is there?"
I watched as he wiped sweat of his brow and sighed. "not really no, but..."
"she told you about Earth?" He nodded. I sighed and laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Listen friend, The fact is, as I already said, If i wanted to go home... all i'd have to do is catch a train, preferably with A certain someone sitting beside me," I chuckled. "and here she comes now"
Twilight grabbed me by the hand and dragged me to Aquilinus.
Aquilinus stood there patiently waiting as Twilight then stood me in front of him. he began to scrutinize me like single celled organism under a microscope. "and I thought your dad was bad, Twilight" I nervously chuckled. Aquilinus nodded.
"I approve, Twilight" The old Guard grinned.
I looked over to Twilight, she was smiling. "heh, so did everyone else" She kissed me on the lips tenderly.
"I'm gonna leave you two to talk, don't kill each other" she giggled as she walked over to her old teacher.
"So, How long have you two been together now?" Aquilinus asked.
I shrugged, "If I remember, I'll tell you"
"Why's that?"
"She blows my mind" I chuckled.
Aquilinus Raised an eyebrow. "I hope that wasn't a reference to... something else she blew"
he then burst out with laughter, seeing my cheeks start to burn a deep red.
"Bastard!" I began to chuckle.
As we left the castle, Twilight sighed, "Come on... lets go back to Ponyville"
I looked over to her. "uhhh... Sure ... but aren't you gonna say goodbye to your parents first?"
She simply nodded, "We'll be coming back in 3 weeks time for... uhm ... your Knighting cerimony"
"oh.....oh boy" I deadpanned.
