Eldritch abominations sure have a way of scaring people, don't they?
Yeah, don't mess with angry Cadence. Nice chapter!
Huh, well hopefully Cadance can keep her head together, otherwise the talk in dinner...will be awkward.
There's a lost period and space at the beginning; fishing
Pained squeak before grabbing Flash
Long time.
A train that was moving far faster than what it was made to go.
I think I might start over and steam roll corrections out when I find the time.
Yes! Update! I've waited so long!
Btw, love all those cuddle related nicknames Ares gave Shining armor.
Never piss off a unicorn when suffering from a hangover...
Well High Rider... I just gotta say...
Fuck you.
Seriously, this is what you get for kidnapping and implied torture / murder. Lying in a bed surrounded by your allies, all suffering varying degrees of severe injuries, poisoned by dark magic, with a very angry bat mare towering over you, and with a horrifying phobia of a certain pretty pink pony princess.
It was at this moment that High Rider knew... she fucked up.
I was hoping for Ares to meet the rest of the main 6 in this chapter.
After Shining and Flash caught a couple suspicious ponies carrying a sackful of Ares, and just let them go, I have to wonder what is the point of rooting out the guards who are on the nobles' payroll? The ones who aren't taking payouts aren't any more useful.
Except for snuggling.
Looks like the pain train is arriving soon! Choo-choo mothafucka!
6123247 They didn't know he was in the sack, and since they're both privates right now they probably didn't have any authority over the people taking him away. Not very many ponies would expect there to be people stupid enough to kidnap their empresses' coltfriend.
Also I'm having a lot of trouble keeping my human/pony pronouns accurate
neat

Doesn't matter if they were privates, they're personnel so they have the authority to investigate something suspicious, and something as quick as a bag wouldn't have held up any proper gardener for too long at all, their conversation was longer than what it would have taken to look in the bag. The fact that they pressed against their investigation and that it was respected is just… no. They failed, doubly so since it was in their own castle.
They definitely have authority to investigate shady gardeners, or actually, whatever cover they were using.
Edit:
They noticed this was all suspicious, but he still let them go, he even stayed Flash from advancing on them. I don't like Shining, not this one. He is heavily responsible for what happened. The fact he was a captain of an entire nation's military and a prince-consort and still this clueless is shameful. No wonder things keep happening to the Equestrians, they're a joke picking him to be important, in this verse I mean, he's still pretty incompetent though canonically.
They never heard, or at least took to heart, the phrase better safe than sorry.
Edit: 12 people would make better captains than Shining
6123146 She f***ed up badly. If she doesn't write those names she's gonna die
I do hope the end result of this is the dissolution of these "clans". The sheer amount of power that these ponies have and - more presently - how casually they use it has really begun to rankle.
I have nothing to add, so I will simply call for MOAR!!
6123247 You can make your men more competent, but you can't make them more loyal.
6123247
They're there to keep the dust from settling
yay US Costomary
Wow. After seeing the aftermath of an out of control Cadence, I now actually feel a little sorry for High Rider and her old people friends.
...
...
...
Though admittedly not by much.
After all, it's kinda hard to feel sorry for a bunch of individuals dumb enough to kidnap the boyfriend of an all-powerful, semi-divine alicorn princess who's the techincal niece of two even more all-powerful, arguably immortal and or divine alicorn princesses that can literally move planetary-sized rocks as if they were shotputs.
Also, Ultimate Brospect to Ares, Flash and Shining.
Say what you will about those three stooges, but the fact that they consumed that much booze yet still had the iron balls to actually go to work like usual with the mind-shattering hangovers they have is nothing short of manly.
Hell, the fact that they even remember what happened to them the night before, up to and including their little Man-Snuggle is a miracle in and of itself. BROSPECT.
Gotta give High Rider some cred that she at least realized that this was her fault, wich might have given me some sort of sympathy for her.
But she "mentioned" (or rather thought about) how easy it would be to make someone just disappear and there went what shred of sympathy I had left...
And somewhere on the back of a certain giant turtle, the ohgod of hangovers is laughing maniacally.
You know, maybe its because its been awhile since I last read this, but why did High Rider try to kidnap Ares again?
6130247
He gave Cadence lust flowers that like like regular flowers that gave her an artificial heat and slight magic-poisoning. She in turn use a love spell (poisonous to Ares) and the nobles didn't like their princesses being poisoned so they went to remind Ares that.

Need more!
6143203 that post was over 5 weeks old...and screw celestia...you Pagan.
I'm the inquisition Raaaaaaah!!!
I hope you weren't trying to make us sympathetic to these cocky, arrogant, holier-than-thou noble clan leaders, because if you were, you failed. Spectacularly so.
Even before Cadance exploded, they fell squarely into Asshole Victim territory, and High Rider's attitude of wanting to run back to her sand castle with her tail between her legs instead of working to make amends doesn't help them ONE BIT. Even before she thought of herself as the high and mighty political backstabber towards Echo.
To hell with all of these "feudal lord" clan fuckers.
Pretty good story so far. the addition of the nobles and Cadence loosing it were unexpected but well done.

Y'know what? I think Echo should have walked out of there anyway, gone straight to Cadance, and said, "Castle security is compromised and Higher refuses to talk. My two options are to tell you so you can talk her into revealing the breaches, or to just dismiss every guard stationed in the palace."

There are no brakes on the pain train!!

So what do ponies do with the fish that they catch?
6215110 Damn right
I feel kinda bad for High Rider and the others, yes I know what they did was borderline shitstorm, but hey, they didn't deserve that of all things I would think. But, what can you do?
Awesome job on this, twas greatness!
6123026 Remind me again what is an Eldritch abomination?
clans.
That whole first act of the chapter with Higher worrying? DIDDUMS. Echo should of dragged her broken body in front of Cadence and Luna so she could try and lie to them aswell. God help her when Celestia and the Elements show up.
Finally, after 22 chapters and 100,000 words, Echo actually did something of value. I thought it'd never happen.
Also:
This single line genuinely made Shining Armor completely irredeemable in this story. He just straight up victim-blamed Ares for being kidnapped. Not only that, but he was only kidnapped because Shining Armor and Flash utterly failed at their job. I mean, that one line is so mind-boggingly hateful and petty that I'm wondering if you didn't actually realize how it came across. I'm guessing it's the latter because no one in the story seems all that bothered.
Does Ares, remember, what is in that lake ? HHMMMM ?
Yeah I see death as too merciful!!

If she still thinks she can act cocky towards the Captain of said princess’s guard about a security breach that she’s personally fully responsible for (and incidentally shoot a big hole into any “but we’re loyal to the Empire!” excuses she and her accomplices may think they have ready in the process), then I dare say the realization still hasn’t settled in anywhere near far enough yet.
If this is what Cadence can expect from these clans, then she should definitely add bringing them firmly under her own hoof or else thoroughly dismantling them to her list of mid-to-long-term goals if it isn’t there already (or move it up in priority otherwise). It’s the only way to make sure they don’t decide to have her guards mysteriously absent one day when some assassins just so happen to come her way, after all.

Yeah but it was an accident and I'm sure in the future he be double checking before taking flowers home. He certainly could use an education in magic but he is trying to be good to cadence.
