When Chrysalis woke up from her sleep, the sky had already darkened and everything around her was quiet. She sat up and stretched comfortably, then touched the darkness and turned on the table lamp next to her bed. Now she only felt as if she had been transformed, not only did she feel physically and mentally relaxed, her thoughts were clear, and she was full of energy, there was even a moment when she wanted to leave everything behind and start a new life.
“This dress is really a good treasure, maybe I should bring this back, or ......” After a little thought, Chrysalis held the dress in her hooves and took on the form of Twilight as she stood in front of the mirror and said:
“Rarity! I have a gift for you~” between the words, Chrysalis transformed into Rarity's appearance again, pretending to receive the clothes she had sent, and then happily wore them on her body. “Thank you~ Dear Twilight, I really love this gift!!!” After a self-directed show, Chrysalis happily put on her clothes and headed for the door.
“Good evening, Princess Twilight~” the lights of the dining room caught Chrysalis' attention, and when she got closer, she found Spike and Twilight sitting inside eating dinner.
“Welcome back! Ambassador!!!”
“Come join us, Meng Yu~ Would you like some apple pie? I stopped by Apple Jack's on my way back, and these on the table are from her~” Twilight pointed to several oversized apple pies on the table, and smoothly pushed the closest Chrysalis one in front of her with her magic, ‘Here, this one's for you, Apple Jack said it was as a small return gift for the dinner party the other day~’
“Ah ......? Oh~ It's good that she likes it.” With just a split second's hesitation, Chrysalis responded immediately, taking the food that Twilight pushed over but not moving her mouth.
“By the way Ambassador, I have seriously considered what you discussed with me yesterday. I am more than willing to return the Alicorn Amulet to you. I hope this treasure will be a bridge for Equestria and Seresia to re-establish diplomatic relations! And I trust you to keep this dangerous thing in better hands than I can, Spike~”
“Be right back!” Immediately after hearing Twilight call his name, Spike got up and then quickly disappeared by the gate, after a while he flew back, with a beautifully wrapped gift box in his hand as well.
“We were going to wait until tomorrow during the day to give you this surprise since you're always busy at night,” Spike said as he brought the box to Chrysalis. “But since you're here, we won't hide it anymore. I really appreciate your hospitality, Ambassador Meng Yu! Those ships are really big, no wonder you stopped so far away, if we didn't know about it beforehand, we might have taken you for intruders!!!”
“Spike! Don't be ridiculous, Meng Yu also explained that she did it because she was afraid of scaring us.” Afraid that Spike's bad joke would embarrass the ambassador in front of her, Twilight hurriedly rounded up the conversation. “The ambassador was even kind enough to prepare our dishes and take care of our eating habits!!!”
“It's good that you guys like it!” Chrys's eyes revealed greed, she completely didn't expect this amulet to actually reach her hooves so quickly, and then she snatched the box over, and opened it to see the Alicorn Amulet amulet that this many parties had tried to fight over, and it was just lying there quietly in the center of the box. When Evil Chrysalis hooves touched it, she not only felt the infinite power contained in it, but at the same time a desire to bring it to her neck arose in her mind, but recalling what Meng Yu had said to her earlier, Evil Chrysalis still held back and quickly closed the lid.
“Whoa! Take it easy! Ambassador, it's not that I won't give it to you!” This sudden action of Chrysalis really startled Twilight and Spike, this was completely different from the dignified and reserved Meng Yu they both remembered. Especially when Twilight looked at Chrysalis in that state her heart was worried, fearing that she would repeat Trixie's mistake, but fortunately she was slightly relieved to see the latter close the box.
“Princess Twilight, I also have a gift for you.” Said Chrysalis as she walked over to Twilight, pulling out the pendant that Feng Chen had given her and handing it to her, “Try it on~ You'll love it.”
“Oh~ Ambassador, you are too generous!” The pendant in her hoof was very pretty, and Twilight really liked the pattern on it.
“It's really pretty! Ambassador, but I don't think I should accept such an expensive gift.” Twilight hesitated but handed the amulet back into Chrysalis' hoof, she did kinda want the gift as well but she had to do it out of politeness.
“Give it to me if Twilight doesn't want it! I'd love to taste it .... I mean would love to collect it!!!” Spike was unfazed, he had never seen a gemstone in this mold before and the oily texture made him impatient to taste what was so special about it. Chrysalis frowned slightly when he saw him approaching, and thought to himself, “I can't let this foolish dragon spoil it for me!!!”
“I think it's safer to give it to Princess Twilight.” While saying that Chrysalis once again sent the object to Twilight's hooves, the latter understood and cooperated tacitly to collect it before putting it on her neck, “Thank you Ambassador for the gift! I'll take good care of it~”
“Hey! You just said you didn't want it!!!” Seeing that he would never get the chance to taste the novelty again, Spike complained in displeasure, and Twilight ignored him with a slight smile.
Seeing that his ploy had succeeded, Chrysalis' mouth revealed a wicked smile, “Princess Twilight, if there's nothing else I'll go back first.”
“Not staying to enjoy these apple pies together?”
“No need, I need to hurry and keep this in good condition to prevent it from falling into the hooves of bad ponies~”
“That's fine~ but take these pies with you, and turn around and give those two attendants of yours a taste as well.” Wrapping the apple pies with magic then delivering them to Chrysalis, she could only agree when she saw this.
“Remember to thank Apple Jack properly for me.” With that said, Chrysalis left the restaurant with the box and the apple pie in her pack, and after making sure she was out of Twilight's sight, Chrysalis returned to Meng Yu's room. She casually threw the apple pie in the trash can, opened the balcony window and leapt down, disappearing into the endless darkness.
