A letter appeared before the two rulers of Equestria. It bore the seal of Stabalia. Celestia sighed and opened the letter.
"IRON HOOF!!"
Those two words were written large enough that nothing else fit on the parchment. Lna sighed before summoning a scroll and quill. She hating wrote a reply.
"ART THOU ASKING FOR A WAR, MIDNIGHT MOON AND NOON SUN? THOU SHOULD RULE WITH LOVE AND TOLERANCE!!"
She hoofed the parchment to her sister who nodded her head. She sealed it with their royal seal and sent it off.
In Stabalia
A scroll appeared before the three members of the Royal Family. It bore the mark of the Celestial Sisters.
"Dear, it's just going to say 'do you want a war? Rule with love and tolerance'. Of course, it will change slightly, depending on who wrote it. Why open it?" Midnight Moon asked her husband.
Noon Sun looked at his wife, who nodded. Without opening the letter from Equestria, he wrote his own and sent it away.
"Daddy, must you and the Celestial Sisters fight? You say you don't want a war, yet you keep agitating them. Why don't you try to come to some sort of agreement? They can rule their way and we can rule ours." Princess Sunrise Glow said.
Noon Sun looked down at his daughter. He was not ashamed to say that she was the most beautiful mare he had ever seen, which was hard to do. His wife was beautiful, but they both agreed that Sunrise had long ago surpassed her beauty. Sunrise's coat was a pink so light that it almost appeared white, and her mane and tail and tips of wings were a few shades darker.
"Sunrise, it isn't that simple. We let the silly disagreement get between us. Even if we both agreed to leave each other alone, it would still leave us at unease with one another. Though I may know of one way to fix that. Your mother and I discussed it, and we agree." Noon said to his daughter.
"Really? What is it?" Sunrise asked. At that moment a letter appeared before them.
"One moment." The King said as he read the letter. "Celestia agrees. Sunrise, you are to be married to Princess Celestia's nephew, Prince Blueblood!"
"Oh my gosh…Daddy no! Just no! I don't know anything about him!" Sunrise protested.
"Darling…" Midnight began. She was interrupted by the throne room door opening.
"My dearest Princess Sunrise Glow! I am here to pronounce my love and adoration to you! Your beauty is incomparable, and your grace like…" the poor stallion didn't get a chance to finish before a cranky father teleported him away.
"Did I mention it would help stop that?" He asked through gritted teeth.
"It just isn't fair! I don't even get to chose who I marry! Daddy, Mother, please! I beg of you, do not make me do this!" A very upset Alicorn begged her parents.
"I'm sorry, Sunrise. Our decision is final. You are to marry Prince Blueblood. Pack your things, we leave for Canterlot tomorrow." Midnight Moon said. She watched as her daughter raced to her room with tears running down her cheeks.
Canterlot Castle
"You WHAT?!" Blueblood cried. "I will not marry a pony any lesser than I am!"
Celestia resisted the urge to strangle her nephew. "Maybe it's just torture to do this to a pony. No pony deserves to be stuck with Blueblood for an eternity. Still, Noon Sun knows what Blueblood is like, and he must have told his daughter before she agreed." She thought. But what she said out loud was: "Blueblood! It's for Equestria!"
"I don't really care, to be honest, aunty." Blueblood said.
"BLUEBLOOD!" Luna shouted in shock. "HOW IS IT THAT THOU CAN CARE SO LITTLE ABOUT THY HOMELAND?!"
"Well, Auntie, I want to watch you two kick Noon Sun and Midnight Moon's flanks and take over their land. That way, as one of your immortal heirs, I am sure to inherit a bigger portion of land." He explained, slightly scared of his aunt's angry shouts.
Celestia groaned. It really was their stupidest idea to make Blueblood immortal. At least Twilight, Cadence, and Shining Armkr were also immortal heirs.
"Blueblood, why don't you go prepare for her arrival tomorrow?" Celestia asked as calmly as she could.
"Tell me this much, how much less good-looking than me is she?" Blueblood asked.
"Blueblood! She is beautiful! Now go make sure she has one of the best rooms in the castle! And I mean the best open one!" Celestia said as her patience grew thin.
"She's probably a hideous hag." The Princess barely heard him mumble. They sighed in unision.
"Oh hi…Blueblood? Are you alright?" Cadence asked as she passed her cousin.
"Ask our ever so loving Aunts." He mumbled sarcastically. He stomped off and shouted at servants with his head held low and his ears turned angrily.
"Um…Celestia? Luna? What was that about?" Princess Mi Amore asked.
"We found a way to settle our differences with Stabalia." Luna announced.
"That's wonderful! Why did that upset Blueblood?" Cadence asked.
"Well…King Noon Sun came up with the idea. Blueblood and his daughter, Princess Sunrise Glow are to be married." Celestia announced.
"WHAT?!"
Celestia sighed "why are we the only ones that think this is a good idea, Luna?"
"Celestia! You can't arrange marriage and expect them to be happy together!" Cadence cried.
"Well the only way that she would be okay with marrying him is if she was like him." Luna countered.
"No pony is like Blueblood." Cadence thought.
"If it is alright with you, auntie, I'll take care of her room." Cadenza said. Her aunts nodded and she went and had to stop Blueblood from preparing the worst room in the castle.
