//------------------------------// // Prince Blueblood // Story: Know your Mare // by overlord-flinx //------------------------------// Before the three voices on the stage that has faced many different ponies and species alike was the stallion of royal blood, looking a bit bored by the whole sight. ... "...Eh-hem?" Yes...? Can we help you...? "I was brought to your show so you could do some sort of interview on me?" Oh... ...Well no... ...You can leave... "I beg your pardon?" Go... ...All we were going to do was make fun of you and poke fun at you... Yeah... ...You can just go... "Oh... Very well then..." Prince Blueblood thus turned around and began to exit the single spotlight before coming to a halt, a thought tugging at his mind a bit. "Why exactly are you letting me go?" Why question it...? Yeah... A lot of ponies would've been happy to run away if we gave them the chance... Milk this cow while you still can... 'Milk this cow'...? Applebloom taught me it... ...It means take the chance you're given... Ah... ...Bumpkin wisdom... ...Very few can match it... "Excuse me." Huh...? Oh... You're still here...? Yeah... Go milk a cow or something... ...We're letting you go... "But why?" Don't make us say it... "Say what?" It's just that... ...What can we say...? Honestly... What could we possibly say that could make you look any worse than you already do...? "What did you say about me you--" Don't even start, you piece nouveau riche arrogance... You have nothing... You are nothing... "I am--" NOTHING! Do you know what power is boy...? Something you could never hope to fathom... Royal name and blood are nothing... You earn respect by displaying your power... Your very right to rule! "Uh--" DO NOT SPEAK WHILE I SPEAK YOU WORM! Blueblood cringed and cowered as he saw two green flames spark through the darkness. Celestia... Luna... Even Cadenza... I have respect for them to some degree... They have power and have shown their right to rule... You have nothing and have proven nothing... And that's why we won't say anything about you... Yeah... Why waste our time when we can bother people with depth and character...? So you can just go... We won't even bother with a trap or anything... You know where the door is... The prince could not get a single word out as he wobbled his way over through the darkness to the exit he entered from. ...Queeny... Do not bother me with trivial matters of 'how amazing' I just was... ...I wasn't going to say that... ...I was going to say that I have on recording you saying you respect the princesses... ...GIVE ME THAT TAPE!
