Monsoon was… shocked to say the least when I summoned him to the palace, took him aside to my personal chambers, and showed him my disguised form.

He put it together mercifully quickly, but I… 

He’s asked if he could have some time to think about having a relationship for me. 

I agreed. I was… I was angry then. I mean, I am the Empress! I am the fairest, most gorgeous seapony he could ever hope to court. I expected an immediate, enthusiastic kiss! 

But his hesitation is understandable, even admirable. He’s not simply accepting because of my looks or position. He’s actually wondering if this relationship can work, and I respect that for him. This is especially since I’ve made it clear to him that I will still be trying to get pregnant from the other members of my harem.

Even on that basis, I can understand why he won’t want to enter into a relationship with me. I just … I can hope. That’s all I can do really.
