Chapter 17: Hyland Empire. The beauty of the capital through the eyes of Twilight.

<Near the Imperial Capital>

Twilight was excited to visit the capital of the empire. The place where Crimson was born. As soon as she began to see the huge alicorn posongs from the window before arriving in the city, she knew that they were about to land.

"Crimson when will we be in the Capital?" Crimson approached her and pointed to elephants bouncing off the golden towers.

"You see, we are already in the capital of the Empire. You just have to look better." Crimson replied in his ear and she spotted an eerie sight. A huge city that was made only of marble. Alleys and streets full of statues, gardens full of plants that were a show of amazing art. She also noticed the most amazing thing that the city was 10 times bigger than Canterlot. The buildings and architecture were unattainable even by the best architects of Celesti. She could not write it down and compare it to anything she had seen, she had the impression that there were many different architectural styles. As soon as they landed in the port of the sky, they were slowly coming out, it surprised her how amazing it was. They were greeted by crowds of ponies and other races of the empire. Twilight felt uncomfortable having never seen so many ponies even in Canterlot. But the presence of Crimson and his parents encouraged her. As they walked along the paved road that was guarded by the knights of the empire, dressed in shining white armor and cloaks. They were welcomed by the senators of the empire and the heads of the most important religions in the empire. Twilight knew they had religion as well as the gryphons and other creatures in Equestri and beyond. But she hadn't expected such a greeting, she had heard the ponies greet her and Crimson with words.

"We welcome the heirs of the holy empire and the Hyland empire." said the first Prophetess of the empire.

"May Highfather bless your future." made the supreme Hierophant of the empire.

"Crimson the Sea will you introduce us?"

"Of course, Twilight. This is the supreme Hierophanta of the Solar empire, and Lunaria, the first Prophetess."

"Prince Crimson, I hope we will have the opportunity to meet with "I will visit him at the earliest opportunity. But now we must apologize."

"Of course I hope we can get to know you better, Princess Twilight." he said warmly to Twilight.

"But of course I am very fascinated by it and I would love to learn more about this country. But I would love to stay, but the journey was extremely tiring." Twilight said awkwardly. But she was fascinated by how they were dressed. The Hierophanta had something like a cloak that was embellished with golden threads and a costum with an image of an alikorn-like creature, and its age similar to Star Swirl the Bearded. The Prophetess was middle-aged, with a dress resembling a dress that covered the whole body and a hat under which there was a hair. As they marched towards the Palace in a beautifully decorated carriage escorted by the empire's finest paladins.

"I can tell me more about your religion and tell me about it."
He told the story of why they would profess this religion, presenting the story of creation, the fight against evil, and his servants who help them fight chaos. Such as: angels, celestials, sephaires, ajglaja and archangels. And the entire hierarchy of their religions.

"So I can become an Acolyte a priest, a priest of an empire, a hierophant, a cleric, a matriarch, a prophetess, a prophetess, a priestess, a vestal, a chaplain, a prior, a monk ..."

"Yes, Twilight a lot of things are related to our religion." Crimson interrupted, irritated by mentioning a religious function.

"But that's a bit weird. But if so, I'd love to know more about it."

"Sopkojnie Twilight save your strength for the palace." said the Empress. "After all, you will be surprised by the appearance of our palace."

"It's insane but ..." Twilight was supposed to say, but she saw the Imperial Palace.

She couldn't create her own eyes. A great palace with a beautiful, huge garden, numerous towers, gold-plated walls with white walls, a gallery of paintings on the walls and gilded frames. Fonran with a golden statue, a private concert hall, theater and opera hall, library and other details. She couldn't even think of an amber room and a pile of precious stones, necklaces and ornaments in the palace. He took her breath away walking to the inner square in the palace, a fountain made of marble and beautiful mosaics in the baths. As soon as they finished leading Twilight around the palace, she passed out from the sensation so suddenly that she woke up in a bed so soft that she would not want to get up.

"I have to say that this place is amazing. If I say where have I been, they won't believe me."

"I know Twilight, when I was here for the first time, I reacted the same." the Empress said in a tender voice.

"Gathering strength because there will be another ball tonight." the Emperor said with a smile. But Twilight wasn't too happy about it.

"But I have no bitches to dance."

"Don't worry about it, I hired the best tailor to make you dress."

"Don't worry, I hired the best tailor to dress you."

"And what?" she asked surprised.

"So where is the one we wanted to sew a bitch quickly" she heard a familiar voice and couldn't believe who saw Onyx and Rarity bringing her a beautiful purple dress made of materials such as silk, Grassilk, and a necklace of purple emeralds with silver. The additional dress did not warm the movements, in addition, when someone fiddled with the dresses it seemed that it sparked with small stars.

"She is beautiful in a dress. I have never seen one more beautiful in my life. But the necklace is amazing. I feel like it reflects me and my soul."

"I know, Twilight. But get ready quickly, guys, because there will be a ball in the ballroom soon." The Empress said cheerfully, but Rarity's expression surprised her. But Onyx also had a dress for her.

"It's okay, I have a gown for you Rarity. I prepared it just in case." depicting a white ball gown, which was filled with crystals, blue clogs and shimmered like a diamond. Rarity's eyes said I wanted to wear it as soon as possible.

"So I'll get ready. And one more Crimson and Twilight and Rarity and Onyx, you will open the ball with the first dance." the Emperor said, pointing at them.

"But Rarity and Twilight have never cheated that dance." Onyx said.

"Take it easy, you can do it, you don't need to be a genius to dance." the Empress said, encouraging them at such a moment.

"Get dressed quickly or guests will arrive soon." said the empress to hurry them.

<Before entering the ballroom>

Crimson wore a typical imperial dress. The gala uniform of the imperial guards girded with a scarlet ribbon. And we fight medals on the chest. In addition, he had a necklace depicting a scarlet phoenix. Onyx wore the gala uniform of the auxiliary troops. Whom he served before his parents died. They waited for their companions when they were ready to dance with them. As soon as they both left it bricked them both. Twilight and Raity looked so beautiful and phenomenal in their dresses. In addition, they had the opportunity to use the help of the best stylists in the palace.

"Crimson do you feel good?" Twilight asked, surprised.

"Yes ... You look like the most beautiful escarpment!" he said joyfully drawing her to him.

"I know, but I went overboard with glitter in Italy."

"Onyx what do I look like?" Rarity asked, coming up like a real princess.

"If I saw you for the first time, I'd say you are a fairy tale princess."

"Thank you ... Nobody told me about such companions."

"Good thing, let's not let anyone wait," said Crimson, holding Twilight's hoof and guiding them. When they stood in front of the door to the hall, the royal herald waited for them to announce them.

"Here is the King of the Kingdom, Kavora Onyx Sprit, and his companion, Miss Rarity, the Jewel of Generosity."

It forecasted as they descended the stairs to the other participants. Rarity felt like a real queen and surprised that Onyx was a king who lived by designing dressed. She felt like the other fillies looked at her with envy at her dress and with admiration and respect for who she was.

"Ready Twilight?"

"Yeah, but you had to tell him I was on your side?" he asked upset with him but did not show him this.

"Because you wear the bracelet all the time and the additional people here know that I will get engaged with the bracelet."

"I'm sorry but she's too heavy for me and I don't want to take her off for nothing."

"I know and that's why I love you Twilight because you are special to me and keep changing for me because you are perfect as you are."

"I know just like you are the fulfillment of my dreams. The first one I sincerely love." she said affectionately.

"Here is the King of Tampa Neigh and the Prince of the Hyland Empire. Prince Crimson Brust and his loaned princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestri."

Everyone was looking at them with such joy and happiness in their eyes. Karzdy saw them as the successors of a great empire. What's more, you could see how their love is strong and unique. All the ponies bowed to them out of respect, even though no one told them to. Even his parent who was before them. It was a sign that they would take over the power of the empire. As the music started, Twilght and Crimson started dancing in a beautiful ballroom. It was five times larger than the one at Canterlon Castle. It was amazing how their kingdoms had not been touched for thousands of years. But they knew one thing, as long as they had each other, nothing would stop them. But the most surprising moment was when Onyx proposed to Rarity, and he happily lunged at him, shouting "Yes."

Despite the fact that they did not know each other for quite a long time, they did not stop kissing each other with full happiness and love. But even such a limp ball had to end but it was not their last but one of many common ones to come into the future. And here and now mattered.
But when everyone had drunk champagne for the ball, all of a sudden they all fell to the floor.
Crimson field conscious heard an ominous laugh that he had not heard from an infant. The laughter of the one that Ashkael enchants in him. And he saw a pony in a golden mask standing before them speaking

"Now for sure what would be mine. It will be mine and no one will stop me, neither you nor your parent, Ashkael and no one else. The power over the world and its destruction will belong to me and the legion of destruction."

Back then, Crimson just thought that nothing had happened to Twilight.
