"I wanted to save it until you returned. But to put your mind at ease, I'll tell you now. I am now a citizen of the Principality of Dream Valley. I hold the rank of Marquise of Dream Valley. I am willing to relinquish my royal titles for our family, my love." Celestia explains as the blood drains from Justice's face upon hearing his wife's words.
"Be very honest with me, my love Celestia is that what you wanted?" Justice inquired as Celestia blink with surprise.
"It not the ideal situation for an immortal alicorn like me. But in this life, I have found something worth protecting, in bygone ages I protected my ponies and my sister as well as my lands it was my duty as a Princess of Equestria to do those things. But time is changing I need to find something else to protect what I want to protect is our family line. If that means becoming a noble mare in Dream Valley, so be it." Celestia said determined as Justice Chuckles under his breath.
"It has been too long since I have seen you this fired up, Celestia. If that what you want to do then I will be right at your side, my beloved." Justice said affectionately as he wished he could touch the soft lips of his beloved Celestia with his.
"I can tell by the look on your face, my beloved you wish to kiss me, but alas this just a hologram of your beloved Celestia. I feel the same my beloved Justice, I to want to kiss you as well." Celestia said longing as her heart dropped.
"But now, I must end this communiqué with you before my heart breaks anymore. Please hurry back my beloved Justice. Your beloved Celestia will be waiting for thee." Celestia said dishearten as she slowly flips off the holographic satellite communications lines to her husband in Ponyville.
Up in the main area of the Old Grand Royal Palace the normally confident soft pap pops of cushy large white bare feet of Celestia over the marble tiled floor; has been replaced with a listless trudge as she made her way to the second floor of palace where the private living area is located.
No mortal pony could really understand the wants of immortal alicorn mare like Celestia. Throughout her one thousand years of life, all she knew was the pain of loss. Now that trend might finally be broken by immortal Imperator Alicorn stallion her beloved husband Justice Silverlight. Despite him not being a Terran Alicorn like her, but Celestial Alicorn. It doesn't matter her heart tell her true love is true love no matter the species.
February 10, 2026, 16:30 hrs Equestria standard time, Office of President Luna Silverlight, Presidential Palace, Capital City of Mare Serenitatis, New Lunar Republic.
Sitting at her desk wearing a black pantsuit was President Luna Silverlight; she just finishes up a long conference call with Imperial Princess Ophelia Silverlight and Pharaoh Jamila Nebula over mutual aid treaty and trade treaty with her New Lunar Republic. Slowly the double doors into her office open and enter Solar Prince Somnus Silverlight. Earlier Luna sent a message to Somnus to come to see her in her office went he had some time.
"Ah? Welcome nephew please, Come in and talk." Luna said friendly with her breath quickening.
"Greetings Auntie. You sent for me." Somnus said politely as he sat down in front of Luna's desk.
"Is something wrong, Auntie?" Somnus asked perplexed.
"Huh? What makes you think something is wrong, nephew?" Luna said her voice constricted as she cracks her knuckles.
"There nothing wrong, nephew nothing at all," Luna said pretending to be calm and unfazed.
"Stop pretending Auntie, I already told you I will not abandon you or run and hid in Dream Valley. No matter how bad it gets my place is at your side as your Moon Knight." Somnus said bluntly as tears come to Luna's moderate cyan eyes.
"Somnus please be reasonable I don't want you to get killed. Those anti-royalty radicals will target you because you are the Solar Prince of the Solar Empire and there nothing I can do to protect you, I am the President of New Lunar Republic. If a thing goes as I have foreseen those radicals will demand the head of all royalty, you're included. I can let that happen." Luna said her voice quavering as tears continue to run down her snout.
"An Alicorn once told me, to be associated with the moon and the night means you accept what happens to be it good or be it bad there no middle ground only what you perceive," Somnus said knowing standing up and walking to the office door.
"Somnus!! Don't say that I-I-I was so wrong." Luna said in a misgiving tone of voice as she slams her fist on her desk, knowing it was her that instilled loyalty in him toward her and the moon as well as the night.
Tears continue streaming down her cheeks as she's sentenced her beloved nephew to a death sentence if the charges against Princess Twilight Sparkle are proven true. Her people will call for the head of all royalty and her as the President of the New Lunar Republic will have to obey their demand, even though it her own blood.

After spending all morning trying in vain to talk with Miss Fluttershy about the attack on the Crystal Empire and her role in it. Aurora and Justice threw in the towel, but not before calling Miss Rarity. They told her went she's got some time if she doesn't mine could she talk with Miss Fluttershy and ask her if she would speak to them. Rarity agreed to ask Fluttershy to speak to them, but it will be some time till she talks to Fluttershy as she currently tie-up on a dress design for a picky customer.
A few minutes later Aurora and Justice arrive at the ponyville clock tower trying to find Miss Rainbow Dash to talk with her about the attack on the Crystal Empire and her role in it.
Lounging on a cloud toward the top of the clock was 5ft 3in light blue pegasi mare with rainbow mane and tail. She was attired in a zephyr pink snowdrift varsity T-shirt, black straight-legged jeans with white navy sneakers. A pair of sunglass was on her snout.
"Miss Rainbow Dash!" Justice calls as Rainbow Dash look toward the bottom of the clock tower and noticed the two unicorns standing at the base of the tower, one held a holo-camera in his hand.
"No comment!" Rainbow Dash exclaims as she spread her wings and is off like a shot in the opposite direction of the clock tower.
"Aurora," Justice said as Aurora once again breaks her spells revealing her wings on her back.
"Yes, father," Aurora said as she spread her wings and head in pursuit of Rainbow Dash. For the next few hours, Aurora chases the fleeing Rainbow Dash in the sky over ponyville, till Rainbow Dash uses up all her stamina. She returns the exhausted Rainbow Dash to Clock tower where her father has been waiting for them to return.
"Welcome back Miss Rainbow Dash. How long has it been?" Justice comments as very annoyed Rainbow Dash refuses to reply to the Greeting.
"If it makes you feel any better, Miss Rainbow Dash. My daughter is one that chased you down. She is Alicorn like her mother." Justice said as Rainbow Dash lifts her head and looks at Aurora who had her wings folded on her back.
"So that why she out flew me, this mare is the Princess's daughter. No one can out fly an Alicorn. Not even a pegasi with my speed. It had been while Mr. Justice. Last I heard you were dead. But I did catch the press conference you faked your death to be transformed into Alicorn yourself." Rainbow Dash explains as she flies back up to get her cloud she was lounging on and they begin to talk.
Star date 21026, unknown time, Infinity Star Sector deep space, Infinity Palace, Command pod, Central Communications block, Citadel class large space station.
Sitting in her command pod overlooking Central Communications block was stunning looking brown bodied Celestial Alicorn mare with a light blue mane and tail. Her 6ft 4in physically fit equine figure was encased in a Green spacesuit with blue trim. On her bare feet were knee-high boots, resting again her back were her silver bio-mechanical feathered bird wings. This Celestial Alicorn mare was Galactic Technician Officer Hesperia Helioshere. An Imperator Alicorn communications engineer and the commanding officer of Infinity palace swing shift at central communications block.
"Huh?" Hesperia exclaims as several transmission logs begin to print-out from numerous surveillance border posts spread across the Star Sectors to keep Infinity Star Sector up to date with the movement of the other Star Sectors.
"Say what?" Hesperia said shocked as she reads the logs reporting five Star Sectors are quickly mustering their rapid deployment battle fleets in preparation for a massive Worm Hole Jump to the unowned Milky Way Galaxy Star Sector.
To claim it for themselves and execute the renegade Imperator Alicorn Daimyo Harmonia Strife for her crimes against Infinity Star Sector and the Celestial Alicorn race. Unknown to them that the Milky Way Galaxy Star Sector is inhabited Star Sector on the Planet of Sol. Hesperia tears the print-out off the printer and flies down the connecting corridor heading toward the Command Center/ Throne Room of the palace.
She arrives a few minutes later and comes onto an unusual sight haphazardly tossed on the ground were pair of knee-high boots part of the standard spacesuit worn by Imperator Alicorns. What really got her attention was Empress Galaxy Cosmos in her light blue bare feet trying to paint her toenails. Hesperia figures this was the first time her Empress' has ever tried to paint her toenails, as the job looks like the work of a five-hundred-year-old Imperator Alicorn colt or filly.
"Hesperia, how do you paint your nails so neatly? I have been at this for a few hours now. It looks like I hired a colt or filly to paint them for me." Galaxy said sourly as she notices the print-out in Hesperia's hand.
"Never mind that, Hesperia! What is that print-out you have?" Galaxy asked as her cushy light blue bare feet softly pitter-patter over the solid metal floor toward Hesperia.
"Oh, the print-out, your Imperial Majesty. It seems that five-star sectors are quickly mustering their rapid deployment battle fleets in preparation for a massive Worm Hole Jump to the Milky Way Galaxy Star Sector to claim it and execute the renegade Imperator Alicorn Daimyo Harmonia Strife." Hesperia explains as Galaxy recoil in horror.
With no other words, Galaxy flies down the connecting corridor as fast as she could heading to the docking collar were her great-grandson Super Carrier Class Warship 'IAS Stellar Eclipse' is docked.
Standing in the boarding tube in front of a small panel running routine maintenance on the vessel was Galactic Knight Clio Quasar; this mare is Justice's first officer aboard the ship. Clio blinks with surprise as Empress Galaxy Cosmos arrives and runs up to her out of breath.
"Your Imperial Majesty, what is up?" Clio inquiry as Galaxy regains her breath.
"Lady Quasar! Begin preparations for immediate deployment my family on the Planet of Sol are in danger. Five other star sectors are mustering their rapid deployment battle fleets to head to the Milky Way Galaxy Star Sector to claim it and kill Harmonia. The standard tactic for the uninhabited planet is full-scale planetary bombardment 100% devastation. But the planet is not uninhabited it going to be 100% fatality. If rapid deployment royal battle fleet doesn't stop it!" Galaxy voice grows maniacal as Clio slams her fist on a large button setting off all the alarm in the docking collar.
In less than an hour 'IAS Stellar Eclipse,' a super carrier-class warship is fully prepared. It followed by 'IAS Solar Nebula' a frigate class warship and finally 'IAS Spectrum' a destroyer class warship.
Quickly the rapid deployment royal battle fleet opens a wormhole to the Milky Way Galaxy Star Sector. As the royal battle fleet exit, the wormhole they gape in stunned silence the full-scale planetary bombardment has started executed by the rapid deployment fleet from The Horsehead Nebula Star Sector who arrived first to Milky Way Galaxy Star Sector.
Before a second full-scale planetary bombardment could start a wormhole opens from the portal exits 'The IAS Limitless' Royal Battle fleet command class warship under command of Empress Galaxy Cosmos.
On the bridge of 'The IAS Limitless' Galaxy raises her hand and order the gunner to fire a warning shot over the bow of 'The IAS Cepheus' command class warship of The Horsehead Nebula Star Sector battle fleet.
Moments later on the bridge a holographic head of medium blue Celestial Alicorn stallion with black mane appears. It followed by the holographic head of pale pink Celestial Alicorn mare with an old gold-colored mane.
"Your Imperial Majesty! Why did you fire on me?" King Somnus Borealis said sharply.
"King Somnus Borealis and Queen Aurora Borealis you are in violation of the Imperator Alicorn prime directive. That why I fired on you." Galaxy said gruffly as Somnus and Aurora look dumbfounded.
"How are we in violation of the prime directive? Your Imperial Majesty?" Somnus asks hotly snorting at the Empress.
"You fired on an inhabited planet that is clear violation of the Imperator Alicorn prime directive to not take the life of sentient races. Did you scan all transmission frequencies for a message from the race on the planet? Your Majesty?" Galaxy said forcefully as King Somnus signed comm Tech to begin to scan all frequencies went suddenly a familiar voice can be heard.
"Imperator Alicorn battle fleet in orbit over the planet this world is inhabited please return to a safe distance or violate the Imperator Alicorn prime directive this Imperial Princess Ophelia Silverlight daughter of Empress Galaxy Cosmos and Avatar of the All-Mother." Ophelia said as the message begins to repeat; a chill runs up Somnus and Aurora spine upon hearing Imperial Princess voice on the transmission.
"We didn't know. You're Imperial Majesty, please forgive us!" King Somnus and Queen Aurora said together begging for forgiveness as they stare at the bare feet of their Empress pacing back and forth in front of them.
"As punishment for violation of the Imperator Alicorn prime directive. You must scrap 'The Cassiopeia' Super Carrier Class Warship you have in your battle fleet. For one space cycle (a year) you may not replace the vessel. After the one space cycles, you may replace the vessel but you may only choose from the Light Carrier Class Warship or Standard Carrier Class Warship, you are forbidden from choosing a Super Carrier Class Warship. If your violation this Royal Command. Your lineage comes to an end." Galaxy explains commanding as the two Alicorns leave the bridge of her command class warship.
