//------------------------------// // Chapter 20: What happened yesterday and today? // Story: Crimson and Twilight // by CrimsonBrust //------------------------------// As soon as the emotions subsided, Celestia took her visitor from her castle. More specifically, the throne room. As soon as she sat on her throne. Luna did the same, sitting alone. She was surprised by the behavior of the emperor and empress. They showed nothing when moving around the Castle. But they didn't know why they had created such a strange aura. The aura made her uncomfortable, but she could see who they were. They were rulers who could change the course of events and the world. In such a way to fulfill your plans. "Well, it's nice to meet you again. I'm very lucky to meet you." Celestia said, but instead they turned their attention to someone else. "Twilight tell me honestly where you are going to get married. Here or the empire?" the Emperor asked with concern. "We recommend you the Golden Dragon Basilica in our capital." "But I didn't think about it that way. But I would prefer somewhere where both Equestri and Hayland ponies could come without any problems." "Sorry, but we aren't here to talk about Twilight's wedding. Even though she's going to be your daughter-in-law." Luna said, but the eyes of the Empress and Caesar changed from joyful to gloomy. The same as the ponies that accompanied them, but a bit more fussy. "Can your sister not disturb us when we talk!" said the Empress. "Honey, take it easy. Maybe let's have a different place and get to know each other better, for example at a gala or some party?" as soon as she heard It, Pinkie Pie wanted to throw herself into the vortex of preparedness. "So I invite you to the Grand Gallop Gala! I will be glad to be there with us." "There is really a gala here so great gala is the best place to meet ponies. What's more, I hope that we will get to know each other a little better." "But first let's do some of the things we were supposed to discuss. Our ambassador provided the bookshelf with documents related to this?" "But of course. I must leave you dear ponies, but we will leave you for a while." Then Celestia, Luna, and Crimson's parent chose them with the other ponies that had talked. Despite the fact that the treaty was officially signed and celebrated, Celestia and Luna took Shining and Cadence to an interview. To your room. "So the Parent Crimson are unusual rulers. But can they be trusted?" Luna asked her sister. "Yes, and what's worse, my sister will marry a prince from another land. And leave us. I'm terribly worried about her when I leave Equestria, and what if I don't?" "Relax, darling, Twilight will be sure to stay with us as long as possible, will you not?" "I wanted it to be so. But Twilight and Crimson would be rulers of the Empire after their vow. And they would remain in the Empire." "So maybe these are our last moments with Twilight?" "Yes, but I'm afraid that when she leaves, she will be alone in the midst of the unknown. And we will not be able to cope with the threats that will come in Equestri without her." "And Twilight won't wait for her there? But she'll be so far away, I wanted her to actually have someone she loves and will leave with him, but I haven't counted that far." "Me too, honey, but let's support her in what comes." "Yes, and one more thing I found out. Rarity married a husband too!" happy said. Which surprised everyone present. "And who is she marrying?" In the same time, the Empress chatted with Twilight, teaching her to sew. Even though Crimson persuaded his mother that Twilight liked to spend time in other activities. "What happened Twilight are you so silent lately?" she asked concerned. "I've been thinking about how it will be when I live in the empire? I will be alone without my friends and family. But on the other hand, I will have Crimson and you as my parents-in-law. But am I fit to be a ruler?" asked the empress then came closer to her and sat down next to her. "Twilight, just like you, I had a dilemma when I got married. But then the Empress of the day gave me this diary." he said as he pulled it out. "Diary?" "Yes, the diary in which the empress wrote down her memories, dilemma, experiences and other things. But by reading it, I got to know myself better and learned many things from it. Believe I got it on my wedding day." "Thank you, it helped me a lot. Will you be with me and Crimson at the gala?" - I will not refuse my future daughter-in-law. Besides, I would love to dance! The Grand Gallop Gala, which took place less than a few days after these events, would be ordinary, but not for some of the guests. There was nothing unusual about the opening of the gala. Celestia welcomed the guest, Mane 6 surprised with new Rarity creations. Until the emperor and empress arrived, it seemed fine. But they came to the gala in their own style. The empress was wearing an unusual dress. A red and gold silk dress that covers the entire body. As she walked, she resembled a beautifully shimmering phoenix. When someone looked closely, he could see the flowers hidden on the black ends of the dress sparkle. A golden crown woven into the hair and unusual ornaments in the hair. An emperor who appeared to be dressed the same even though the yellow body-covering garment was more plain. Jedwap reminded the scales of a dragon and a black cloak that was blowing, and the gold of the Koran from which the black beads were blowing, which poorly covered the face and covered the hair. "So it helped you be empress?" "Not Twilight, it allowed me to face my fears. And you will never become empress. Because you are already empress, Twilight." "I am the empress? How?" "Because you are yourself. And nobody can take it from you. And that's why it makes you special. Because I have never met a filly who did so much good for others and did not want anything in return." "Thank you, it helped me a lot. Will you be with me and Crimson at the gala?" "I will not refuse my future daughter-in-law. Besides, I'd like to dance!" The Grand Galloping Gala, which took place less than a few days after these events, would be ordinary, but not for some of the guests. There was nothing unusual about the opening of the gala. Celestia welcomed the visitor, Mane 6 surprised with new Rarity creations. Until the emperor and empress arrived, it seemed fine. But they came to the gala in their own style. The empress was wearing an unusual dress. A red and gold silk dress that covers the entire body. As she walked, she resembled a beautifully shimmering phoenix. When someone looked closely, he saw that the flowers hidden on the black ends of the dress glistened. A golden crown woven into the hair and unusual ornaments in the hair. An emperor who appeared to be wearing a similar outfit. But he resembled a dragon with black scales. But the yellow color that was the background was blown away. Yellow beads woven into the hair and cover the face on the strings hanging from the crown. And Crimson, wearing a red gala uniform of assault guards, decorated with military medals, just like his friends. "So these are the rulers of the Hayland Empire." Whispers about their uniqueness and richness circulated among the guests. All the guests wanted to get to know them as best as possible. But as soon as the toast was made, the emperor and empress spat out all the wine with amazing taste. “But awful wine. I've never had worse wine in my life! " he shouted in disgust. "Exactly the worst alcohol she has ever drank." "Midnight ... Let Vitri bring you our best alcohol because you can't drink it." - You really don't like it? Celestia asked, surprised. "Princess Celesta, if the princess visited the empire chociasz for one day. It would change your life so much ..." "Crimson wanted to say that my engagement gala was stiff but full of attractions, such as a live theater performance. Alba opera with ballet dance." "Yes, it was beautiful. Or a synchronized dance where Twilight and Crimson started with a dance that was lively, energetic and passionate." "It was a beautiful dance and I ignored it at all. I still wonder why we danced like that?" "Because someone dances a heart dance. They are the hearts of two lovers that match the melody of their hearts. And unique to each couple. Unique and unheard of for everyone." "And that is why it is extraordinary that no one can stop him alone," the Emperor made for his wife, looking deeply into her eyes. "Lord, we brought what you ordered!" "What?" Luna asked curiously looking at the boxes. "Like the best alcohol empire 81 bottles of vodka! Er ... 80 bottles "he will say when one broke. "So much vodka you are crazy Daddy!" "Well, I said that it will not be enough! So what, after a glass and a dance floor to dance?" "Of course. Princess, why don't you have a drink with us?" "I'd love to try it," he said, and they started drinking. Crimson woke up early in the morning. In bed with Twilight and a headache. "What happened at the gala yesterday? I must have lost my memory of that game." he thinks as he looks at Twilight who was sleeping next to him. As soon as he left the room, he saw something unimaginable. The whole of Celesti's castle looked like it had been after some catastrophe. As soon as he got to the gala hall, he saw only the marshal of the empire. Who stared at him in disbelief. "Duke Crimson, how are you feeling after the gala?" "Please don't say anything, what happened after we started drinking our best drinks?" He asked curiously, but his head hurt too much. "I will say one thing. I've never seen a show like this! ” He said in surprise and disbelief. "But what happened? You have to say everything in detail." "So here's where to start. So Onyx and Miss Rarity got together for a quick wedding." "A wedding, but who was daring enough to do it for them?" "Priest Light had no problem with that, and what's more, when he was infatuated, he wanted to put rings on his nose. Because he thought it was his glasses." "Yes, but where are the other guests?" "Sprint and Rainbow Dash have professed their love. Spike has been screwing around with the hallucinogenic mushrooms and we take him off the belay mast. Princess Cadance is divorcing her husband ..." "Stop, did you say Cadence is divorcing Shining from my girlfriend's brother, how did it happen?" "He made himself a tattoo after you beat everyone up on coptya. And because he, your dad, and Princess Twilight's dad drank so much that they gave Onyx a bachelor party. "Stop you say it's like the party lasted two days?" "Because it lasted two days. But this report is about what you did at the gala. There is everything that happened on it. "Suddenly they didn't know why they heard Celesti scream from the bedroom. He ran quickly with the guards to check it out when they arrived. They found Celestia sleeping with the two children he knew. "Cloudberry, Blizzard, where did you come from here?" "Uncle why is Aunt Celestia sleeping with us?" Cloudberry asked. "Exactly uncle?" said Blizzard. "Because you're in the wrong room." "Sorry, Princess Celestia!" speak with sweet eyes and voice. "Nothing happened. But I need to find out what happened at the gala?" "Maybe coffee for breakfast first." As soon as Celestia read the report, she was totally devastated. "Crimson, do you know what the guests said?" "Well, as far as I know, everyone is happy and happy. They asked when the next such gala and what's more, all tickets have already been bought and booked!" he said happy. "Really?" she asked incredulously, but Crimson showed her a list of takers and the money from sales that surprised her positively. "But is it true Cadence and Shining are getting divorced?" "I don't know we'll see it when?" "How could Shining tell me?" "But!" And they heard their stabs. When, sleepy, Twilight came to them and asked them while they were sitting in the kitchen about it, she broke down. "What ... HOW ... Cadnece and Shining are getting divorced? Why? How? When do they have to be stopped?" "I know Twilight but how?" "Maybe it's some romantic party?" Pinkie Pie said suddenly, surprising them. All of them helped them organize this dinner. Which especially Crimson passed from party to dinner. Even though they tried their best, it did not ease the situation for them. But when Crimson said he would sing a special song for them, they were surprised. "I wrote this song about your memories and what I found out about you all this time." "Thank you but no!" "Thank you too, but it's over with us!" "Well but I don't even start singing" But it surprised him because his parents took them to the interview. He didn't know what they were talking about, but the next day he saw Cadence and Shining walking with their daughter in the garden and he felt their bad mood disappear forever. "Have you talked to him with your mother's eyes?" "About this and that. We helped them deal with their problems." "Because all love is a price. But sometimes ponies forget why there is a price." "Seriously?" "Yes, because it is worth fighting for love no matter what."
