//------------------------------// // Chapter 15: Surprise Proposal // Story: Crimson and Twilight // by CrimsonBrust //------------------------------// (Tampa Neigh, Royal Castle, dining hall 10 minuts later.) Crimson turned to look at his parents who stood with their royal guards. His mother: Empress Blazing Star, was as tall as Celestia, she wore a fancy necklace made of black pearls, an armored chest-plate which was far more ornate then the one Princess Celestia wore, she had piercing Orange eyes and a Blood Red Mane and a Somewhat whitish blue mane. Her cutie mark was a star that was blazing much hotter than the Sun. His father was taller and wore Platinum armor on his legs, chest, back and wings, he had long flowing Purple Robes and an amulet that Crimson nor the others knew about. His Cutie Mark was of a comet, his red eyes and somewhat Blackish Mane showed the origin of Crimson's traits. "Mom, Dad, you're late!" Crimson said simply, they walked to their seats, his mother took a seat at the southern end of the table. "Crimson, how are you doing son, who's the lucky mare, son!?" Crimson heard from his father who hugged him, lifting him off his chair. "DAD, STOP, LET ME GO, YOU ALWAYS DO THIS!" Crimson said as he teleported out of his father's bone crushing hug, Crimson sighed as his mother spoke up. "I am sorry for your father, Crimson… He's just as jumpy as he used to be 480 years ago." Blazing Star stated, Crimson sighed and turned to the Mane Six and Starlight and Spike who were at the table as well. "Grandpa, why didn't you greet us first!" Disgruntled children said. "I apologize to you, my beloved grandchildren. But I will accept an apologetic hug from my grandfather." He said, hugging the child. "Why let us get to know our guests first." "So how was I to introduce you. This is Twilight and her little friends who guard Equestri and nurture her. Starlight, her apprentice, and Spike, her faithful dragon helper." "Nice to meet you, especially you Twilight, but I was hoping to meet Princess Celestia as well." "Impossible to come, but she told me to convey that she would like to invite you with great joy? How should I say the royal majesty?" "Imperial Majesty. Princess Twilight but it happens a lot. And I'm glad to meet the girl Crimson. I am happy to meet you." Blazing Star said, causing her son to spit his drink and choke on it before turning away. "Crimson, what's going on?" "Mom, I'm not engaged to Twilight! How could I propose to Twilight in such a short time? And what's more, the fact that I am getting married with an Equestria filly is part of the treatment of what this is supposed to mean. " "I knew you would find out Crimson. But we'll talk about it later. Okay?" the Empress pushed to him with a warm silence, but Crimson looked at his parents with ever cooler eyes, which made the silence awkward. "I'll get out of my sight!" muttered Crimson who was clearly angry. "Crimson let your anger persist because of you ..." "Be proud! Everyone! I don't want to talk to anyone, especially you. I thought I would stop interfering with my life." "Crimson but you know that's why we love you." the Empress said as she approached Crimson, but he turned to her and said as she left the room. "Sometimes I wish you weren't here." The empress broke down that her tears were sweating. "Crimson come here and apologize to mom!" the Emperor said. "I'd better apologize to Celestia because I am your instrument and guarantor, not your son." Crimson said, slamming the door. "Well, but you went to get banidia. And Daddy will find out what you did. Are you going to look for him?" said North Star "Yes of course!" they shouted beyond Twilight and the others as they all left. "And who is Daddy North?" Spike asked. "My advisor. I'll listen to his talk again." "Maybe the Empress I will help you please tell me why did you do this?" Twilight asked fondly. "Please don't get it wrong, but I don't want to force him to marry. But I'll tell you why I did it. But let's talk about it in the living room." the Empress gasped. Despite the fact that Crimson's friends did not find him in the Palace, they decided to return to the Empress and the Emperor for their apology. "Sorry for acting like this ... we just couldn't believe what we heard." North said to the Crimson parents, who apparently wiped away tears like an empress. "I don't need to apologize for that, I know how Crimson is a friend to you because I have spent my whole life together. From elementary school until now, I can't blame you for that." Said the Emperor, who responded with admiration when the Empress stopped crying. "I'm proud to have raised Crimson the best I could and I'm proud of him even I, the truth hurts." he replied happily which surprised everyone. "So, Empress of Blazing Star, you were going to tell us why Crimson would marry a filly from Equestria." "Know that Crimson has an unusual ability that is very unusual and dangerous." "The fact that he turns into a deonic dragon we know that." "He turned into him to save my little sister and her friend." "This is implicitly related to the transformation. Because the face has the soul of that dragon-demon in it." "How is the soul? So they are somehow bound together in one body." Twilight asked incredulously. "Yes, the demon hate and destroy Ashkeal. When he was a baby, someone kidnapped him and handed him over to the demon altar. I don't know who, but it is known that power is extremely dangerous if I do not control it. " "So when he drank a potion in such a bottle, what it really gave him after the transformation." said Twilight to show the glass bullion. "It causes him to mute his whispers and voices. Sometimes I think their soul is slowly fusing into one." "And because Crimson has to marry with what mare, because only he can replace us on the throne. And only a filly who can love him with sincere love is able to understand how to solve this problem. At least they say so prophesied. That is why we searched for him without success." "So Crimson was never really married?" “Yes, my uncle was not married, and moreover, we are the children of my uncle's sisters. But we're talking to Uncle Crimson because we never knew our real thing." "So Crimson was lying all this time." Twilight said in surprise. "It's true, Crimson shares knowledge and memories with Ashkael. So if he told a story, he must remember how Ashkael lived with others who tried to take over his power." "I need to talk to Crimson. I'm going to find him." said Twilight. "I knew you would want to know. Look for him in his office. He likes being there when he's offended." (Crimson's Study, Royal Castle.) Crimson kept his study in the upper levels of the castle unlike most royals who would keep their rooms in the heart of the castle. It was here that Twilight found Crimson, wore a black and red robe, meditating in front of a strange book and looking out the window in front of him. "Crimson ... Your mom told me more about you. Why won't you be with us?" Twilight said, she closed the door behind her quietly as Crimson turned to face her. "Because like I'm guessing she said… I wanted to clear my head… Why are you here, I'll be back soon enough?" Crimson muttered, Twilight walked next to Crimson, he spoke up again while looking out the window. "I love you Twilight. I want to get you with you anyway, but I don't know if I can blame you with my problems. Mum really want us to get married on the anniversary of the empire. I'll need you, then you know yourself. I know they want good for me. They really want us to get married ... and I don't know what to do." Crimson said, and what Twilight said surprised him very much. "Then I'll marry you." Crimson heard Twilight say, turned to Princess Alicorn and was speechless as he spoke, trying to keep his voice from a scream that would alert the rest of the castle. "Twilight, are you crazy !? You can't just marry me, we don't know each other that good and what your parent or the others will say. You don't know each other for so long." Crimson grunted, and Twilight took his hoof in hers and looked into his eyes. "Crimson, while we were in the Crystal Empire, I spoke to Cadence and she made me realize that no matter what happened, she only wanted you to be with you." she also added after a moment when Crimson brought her closer to him. "Crimson, I know that ... But I also know that your family means a lot to you ... Besides, it doesn't have to be official at the moment ... We could find out if the marriage really should have happened before the anniversary is ..." he looked into her eyes bringing her closer and closer. "I know Twilight. I love you so much. And if your daughter is our future, I hope she will have your eyes and find a love like you and me." "Crimson what do you mean by that?" she asked in surprise as Crimson took out a Bracelet with a round heart like a rock in the center of the Bracelet. "Twilight will you marry me?" Twilight asked. "Yes ..." Twilight said with a smile, Crimson smiled and opened the bracelet to put it on the hoof. "Remember when I told you about Romance Ruby. In Tampa Neigh they are given Mares as a wedding gift, Rubin in the middle says how good a relationship can be .... Blue means the relationship will not last more than a few months ... Green may mean an honest romance, but may not last more than a few years… Red means good love, but it's not the best yet… And Light purple…. I mean…. " Crimson began to explain, looking at Rubin Romance Twilight, which glowed pure purple. "Crimson, which means purple me- ..." Twilight began to ask, before Crimson kissed her tenderly, she was surprised but reciprocated, Crimson hugged Alicorn against him. "It means pure love ... A life full of love that can never die ... Twilight ... If this Ruby is right ... Then our romance will be pure ... I ... I don't know what to say ... Come on, let's tell the others ... No ... Please don't think that that means I'm in a hurry with you, Twi ... I want you to love me as much as the ruby ​​suggests ... " Crimson said he placed a Bond bracelet over his right hoof, his dominant hoof. He grabbed Twilight's hoof in his and left the office. Crimson could only imagine how others would react to the news… It would be, at the very least, surprising. "Crimson is the happiest day of my life and I wish you would not change. Because you are wonderful the way you are." "I know" As soon as their parents returned, they congratulated him in secret. His mother was surprised by such a quick but hug Twilight, telling her that she would never find a better filly for Crimson. His dad just smiled happily and congratulated him.Crimson then set out with Twilight for her most wonderful place to star in Moonlight Skylight. It was the city's sky-spot, a vantage point, a place from which Crimson loved to admire the stars on cloudless nights. (Tampa Neigh Moonlight Skylight, top floor, 50 minutes later.) Twilight must have left him only five minutes ago, but for Crimson, time was not of the essence. Crimson heard North's teleportation and looked out the window. "Hi North, what's gonna get you at this time?" "It's not quite official, is it?" "Yes, but no, it's also true. We gotta get married, but we took our time ... Her Ruby was Purple, North ... I haven't seen many Purple Rubies ..." "It is true that there were not many of them, and how long will you stay in the kingdom?" he asked concerned about him "I don't know, but I'll try to stay as long as possible. But you have to take a break." "So I'll start preparing for the wedding ... Shall I tell Sprint to inform her family?" Asked North, Crimson sighed, he wanted his wedding to take place in a few months, he wanted Twilight and him to have a real relationship before marriage, so he wanted to date Twilight longer. "No, but have a letter ready ... We can get married at the end of the year if it's okay with Twi ... I don't want to be married just for the title, North ... When I and Twi get married, I want it to mean something for both of us and both of us. to make us happy ...? " "So, what are your plans, if you will stay with us tomorrow?" "Do you think it ever dusts in real hot springs?" "I don't know, but it's one of the many attractions with us." "This is how we're going to go and say nothing to Supernova, we have to hide it from her." "I know neither of us want her to know." "Yeah, I don't want my sister to know ... Thanks, North. And the Parent knows to hide it from the front."
