**warning this chapter is darker and more violent then my previous chapters**
King Strong Hooves was not in a good mood. His breakfast had been interrupted with the news that Gallant Heart had escaped, and had apparently aided the Ponies from Equestria in their escape as well. This meant his plans were drastically altered. With her guards returning to Equestria to inform Princess Celestia of Princess Twilight's predicament, he could expect their forces to be here in days. His hope had been do build up Unicornia's magical reserves, strengthen his ponies, and expand his own kingdom. His trump card was of course, that with Twilight Sparkle as his special guest, Equestria's most powerful defenses was useless. The magic available to them now was already quite a lot more then had been before Twilight had arrived, and his mean had been trained extensively in the use of ley line magic; they could feed all available magic energy into a lode stone; then when Equestria cam to free Twilight, they could harness that built up power to force them back. He summoned his advisers and aides, and outlined the plan to them. As they refined and delineated the plan, he felt his mood lifting.
Around mid morning Strong Hooves decided it was time to pay a visit to Twilight. He had the guard open the door and looked speculatively at his captive. He noted that she seemed to have drunk some of the water, so her thirst must have overcome her desire to regain her magic. He noted her smuged appearance and bandaged hoof.
“Really my dear Princess, you are not looking your best.”
“My friend Rarity would probably agree with you, that captivity is no reason to to take care of your appearance, but I think I prefer what Rainbow dash or apple jack would say to you.”
“And that would be?”
“Buck off.”
“Delightful. I am amazed that a Princess would associate with such, crude, ponies. Oh but then, you weren't always a Princess where you? Nor an Alicorn. Fascinating really; which came first, becoming an Alicorn, or becoming a Princess?”
“None of your Apple blooming business. I may be stuck her for now Strong Hooves, but my friends will come for me, and when they do, you'll find out just how powerful we are together.”
“That is King Strong Hooves, Princess. I have heard stories about you and your friends. I know however that it takes the six of you together to use the Elements of Harmony, and as the five of them will never get to this room, they will not be able to use them to save you. “
“They don't need them to save me Strong Hooves, they just need each other.”
Strong Hooves casually backhoofed Twilight “As I said, its 'King' Strong Hooves. I have held this nation together through invasions and droughts, I have watch my ponies suffer from the lack of magic. Magic we will have no in plenty. Nothing will stop me.”
“Prince Gallant, my Friends, My Princess' will, just you watch.”
“Hadn't you heard Princess? I disinherited Gallant Heart. That foolish colt. Which reminds me, I will be in need of a new heir now.”
Twilight's eyes widened in horror as she backed away from Strong Hooves “You wouldn't dare!”
Strong Hooves smiled, a grim feral thing “For my kingdom and the ponies I rule, I would dare almost anything. With that he grasped Twilight's already ripped and stained dress in his magic and tore it from her body. With the her own ambient magic at his disposal her wrapped her body in his magic and restrained her to the bed. “However, I think I am going to enjoy this more then most of the things I have had to do for my kingdom.” with that he shut the door to her room.
The guards turned a deaf ears to the cries they heard coming from the room, it was quite some time before Strong Hooves magic opened the door to reveal a weeping Twilight and a sated Strong Hooves emerged. He found himself thinking hungrily of the lunch that he would soon behaving, something to build up stamina would be good; he planned on entertaining himself this way until he was certain that his Princess had conceived a new heir for him.

Twilight didn't want to stay on the bed, it smell, of of-- him- them- that- she weakly got down off the bed.. she was sore, she'd never, it wasn't, it hadn't.... She started to shake and she settled down on the hard stone floor. It wasn't very comfortable but at least it didn't smell.. Oh but she did. The bucket, the water! She grabbed it with her hooves and poured the bucket over her, then used the remnants of her dress to try and scrub the smell clean.
She couldn't muster up the energy to try chip away at the stone. She wasn't even sure if she wanted her friends to rescue her now, she didn't want them to know....She felt the tears flowing down her muzzle before she realized she was crying again. What did it matter anyway?
The door opened and Twilight nearly jumped out of her flesh, she back as far away as possible as the ponies came in to giver her dinner, they had been ordered to change the bedding as well, and after they left Twilight was relieved, the scent in the room was much less disturbing, she dragged the bedding off the bed and wrapped it around her. She ignored the food, she tried to ignore the strange new soreness she felt. She wanted to forget, to deny it had happened.
Sleep did not help.

Strong Hooves was delighted in his new entertainment. Twilight continued to fight him, and that just increased his enjoyment. He hadn't thought conquering in bed would be more exciting then conquering on the battlefield, but it made his blood pound just to think about it. He almost wished Twilight had the use of her magic, though he supposed if she did, she would free herself rather then face him again. The strength of her magic he had felt the first day they had met led him to believe that he would not be able to defeat her if it came to a magic battle, only her lack of magic and his superior physical form allowed him this victory over her. He wondered how long he would get to enjoy this before he was sure she carried a foal. He had the water she been given dosed with herbs to increase fertility as well, because while he was enjoying this, there was always the possibility that He would have to return Twilight to Equestria in some sort of treaty agreement. He knew his plans would buy them some time but her was also aware of how strong Militarily and Magically Equestria was. Whatever came about, he would make certain that they held out long enough for her to bear the foal. It matter not if it was a filly or a colt, either could be named heir, what mattered was the inherit magic potential such a child would have.
