Soon, after a couple of minutes, three pegasi flew like a wedge and one in front dropped something that looked like a ball, and soon this was what horrified the princess. After the ball fell and fell to the ground, a second later there was an explosion, and after that three other Pegasus dropped the same balls, and also after a second or two falls of the ball, when the smoke cleared, there were more explosions. The ground where the explosions took place was black and burning. “Well, your majesty, is it worth contacting the military leaders or is this a common thing?” asked the prince with a smirk "After all the tests, quickly to my office, this is an order" ordered the princess almost shouting "That's right" that's all Blueblood said "Now princess, we can move on to demonstrate another weapon, this is a semi-automatic rifle" Light-1 "designed by me and developed by a group of scientists Eclipse, maybe you received the translated documents and do I correctly attribute them to this part? To which the princess nodded hesitantly" I also want to show you the grenades that you saw in action and you can also ask me a question, like a prince to the princess? although she seems to have skipped it and said to show it longer. So an hour passed, and all this time the pilot showed and told the princess about weapons that surpassed the current one for years, and possibly decades to come.

"Pilot, I want to see how this v-rifle works and we will finish it tomorrow, you will have a day to prepare all the arsenal that you will have, and the day after tomorrow we will go with him to a new place where these weapons will be produced if it will be as good as I think" From these words, the prince fell into a stupor. “Wow, I didn’t think that the princess would give permission for the use of firearms so quickly, this is just super,” Blueblood exulted to himself. The unicorn took a fighting stance and began to look for a smaller one in the tube and asked for a pat, after which the net creaked and fell. The prince again saw the striking impression on the face of the princess after the shot. After the shot, the unicorn also approached the prince. the prince nodded, and the unicorn returned to his duties. Celestia first looked at the formation, armed with the same rifle as the one she had just seen, and couldn't tell if she was asleep or not. How could it have been created? How to be in time? She wondered, looking at weapons that were decades ahead of the current ones available in the country. The prince, looking at the princess, was able, albeit briefly, to see fear? he was definitely not mistaken, he saw the fear in her eyes, but what about the weapon? Who will it be used against, or what will happen if it is used against them?

"Okay, Blueblood, now you've got my attention, please tell me how you were able to turn the gryphon muskets into these, please remind me what you called them"

"Celestia rifles, and in response to your question, I didn't modify them in any way, they were built from scratch, and ahead of your next question, you know where I'm from, I made them and copied them, I know it sounds stupid, but, please believe that I am not a prince, I am different, so please believe, - the prince began to plead, but the princess interrupted him, - Okay, Blueblood, this time I will play your game and pretend that you are into it believe, now tell me how you actually got them, I doubt that you yourself thought about it, so I'm listening"

Celestia could only see shock and horror, but she could not understand why he was afraid and that for the first time in a long time she saw fear in him and realized that she saw this fear in him in front of her friend "Princess C". “Why don’t you believe me, I’m trying to tell you that I took the place of your relative, and you say that this is some kind of his trick or game? What did he do to you that you don’t believe,” the prince shouted hopefully. The princess simply sat at the table and could not understand whether it was true or not, because she knew that he would do everything to get his own, but she saw fear, hope for something, and in the end did not see signs of a lie. or malice. Before she had time to answer, she saw how he left with sadness in his eyes and left.

Blue blood room.

The prince entered his room and looked at the table next to the bed. On the table were various sketches, drawings and projects of rifles, grenades and ammunition, military uniforms and many other things unknown at that time. Approaching the table, he wrinkled his conscience and threw everything into the trash can. Sowing a clean table, he began to think what else could be done so that the princess would believe him. “What did this prince do that, perhaps, his closest relative did not believe him, what needs to be done so that Seletia believes what is wrong with her?” already with sadness and anger lum. Suddenly, he heard a knock on his door. "Who?"

After a few seconds of an answer, it did not follow, but a knock followed again, but already stronger, "Who is there?" There was no answer, but there was a knock. Already with a little anger, the prince got up from the table and went to the door and opened it. "Princess Celestia? What are you doing here?" the prince asked in surprise "Blueblood can I come in and talk about something important?" a few seconds later, the prince froze "Y-yes princess of course you can come in" and stepping back from the entrance, he let the sunny princess into his room. "You know, it looks like no one has been here for a long time when you did the cleaning?" the princess asked with a chuckle, "I'm sorry, maybe I made a little money, but don't worry, after our conversation, I'll clean everything up, I give you words." After these words, Seletia frowned and looked at the prince. "Obviously you are not really him, Blueblood listen after today's conversation and the incidents that I saw you maybe as much as I hate to admit it but it seems that you are right and please tell me again who you really are and tell me what's up with my nephew actually happened and where is he if you know" Celestia said to the prince's growing surprise.
