Betters? So much for Egalitarian society

It's an interesting question of what the ponies think of equality and I have to confess that I don't have a thoroughly thought out view on this. Could be that I have to disagree with myself at some point, but it feels safe to say that the Royal Guard feels kind of subordinated to their sovereigns. Or at least the Day Guard does.

Wait, what? They have a room just for that?

I was thinking of medieval ecclesiastical (catholic) courts and how they were organized. It felt neat to me that the courts of old Canterlot might resemble such theological order.

All these weapon metaphors. Luna seems really OOC (compared to canon Luna).

Yeah, I love to mess with the canon alicorns; I can't help but to think that behind the shining surface there hides a creture of inequine (inhuman) origin, a creature that has to hide oneself in smiles and courtesy. However, I also think that the canonical Luna is more reserved than Celestia, which was an impression I was trying to create in the story.

Cared for? Or carried over? I've never heard that before.

A creative innovation of mine. Is it awful? Although it sounds fine in my mothertongue, I have no idea whether this is the case in English. Propably it isn't.

Thanks again for the comments and the praises! I'm slowly learning to respect the rules of the English sentence structures, although at times I'm still helplessly blind to them. It really helps when somepony points out my errors like you did. And nah, I didn't find your message too long; it only makes me feel flattered that you'd go through the trouble of noting all that stuff.
