This story is a sequel to Memoirs of a Royal Guard
From the outside looking in, life has never been better for Silent Knight. He is the first pony in a long line of Royal Guard ancestry to earn a commission, he has a loving mare by his side, and he bears the kingdom’s highest honor for bravely risking it all to protect Princess Luna. The future shines bright with potential, but the shadows of the past lurk at every twist and turn that lies ahead.
Guilt, anger, and regret are constantly at war in the depths of Silent Knight’s mind. Despite his best efforts to enjoy the life he has, he finds himself trapped in the past, reliving the moment when his unit was ambushed and his ponies were killed. He refuses to show any weakness, instead hiding everything behind a tough face to protect himself and those he loves. But his true feelings—and what he plans to do with them—shackle everything he holds dear with chains forged in secret.
Secrets of a Royal Guard is a comedy series with romantic, dramatic, and adventure elements. It features an original character cast and their interactions with the princesses they protect. It is recommended that readers be familiar with Memoirs of a Royal Guard.

Yes! It lives! I can't wait to see how this turns out.
I really love this series. It's really well written. Keep it up!
I've been checking for this all day :P
Keep up the amazing work, Anzel!
Hehehe, I can see the plot thickening already. :P
Wooooo!!! SO EXCITED! -ahem- Anyway A good start, and it was sweet with the first date. Im not surprised Luna may have partied to hard after the graduation ceremony.
Congrats Willowy Tempest. You've poked the bear. Now stop it before you find yourself destroyed.
I hungerly await for more. Also, Equestrian Special Forces, pleeeeaaaase?

I agree 1000%!
It continues. Great, now I'll never get any work done. So much for a promotion.
Awesome! Can't wait to see how Silent fits into his new role.
5965384 Yes indeed! He is back and ready to start being his new self (twice a week).
5965416 Just slightly off ;)
5965417 Indeed sir, indeed!
5965430 Teasing is a big part of what I do!
5965447 We've got a long road ahead! Roughly the same word count as the original story.
5965459 Thank you kindly! I intend to for sure! Twice a week just like always.
5965475 Thank you too! I'm glad I could keep the date for you. More on Wednesday.
5965477 There is a lot to be done.
5965485 Luna cuts loose every now and then for sure!
5965504 Hahaha yeah... those two probably won't get along.
5965507 We'll see how it goes!
5965510 Indeed!
5965515 It got that downvote within 10 minutes of being posted. /shrug Some people are just contrary. Others downvote anything with an OC. Who knows? Glad you're on board though!
5965520 =D
5965564 At least I'm only posting twice a week!
5965579 Me too! It has been different writing him as an officer for sure!
5965605 Thank you kindly!
5965619
I'm gonna enjoy this! XD
Now that I've favorited and upvoted, it's time to read it.
5965619 Here are some videos for inspiration.
Woohoo!! Silent Knight is back!! :D
5965619 I couldn't tell~
Oh, right, I'm supposed to do that thing with the thumbs. I always forget that part.
Look at you... bringing the heat.
Oh good, you're back. And you made it easy to catch the new story by updating the last one. Bravo!
I only just now saw that this awesome story got posted. Right when the page loaded i went ahead and clicked the 'favorite', 'like' and 'tracking' buttons. I can't wait to see where ole' SK is headed.
5965627 I truly hope so!
5965637 I really appreciate that you did the favorite and upvote though! Of course reading is important too ;)
5965662 I'll check those out when I get home =D
5965663 It is good to be posting again! Two weeks felt like forever to me >_<
5965707 Mostly certainly yes with the up thumb clicking thing ;D
5965712 That is certainly a first for me!
5965735 Glad to be back. Yeah that seemed like the best way to make certain everyone found the story. Not everyone follows me or sees the follow updates.
5965749 I appreciate it very much!
5965803 *clicks the thumbs down*
I'm sorry, what was that?
5965803 Holy bageebus... 71-1 :P
I need a good "suggestive eyebrow wiggle" gif for this.
5965619 So another 150k word story? Yes please!
5965818
5965835 Shhh, you're tempting fate!
5965856 This is true. Oh Crystal!
5965861 Likely so yes. I know where the story starts, all that I need to accomplish, and where it ends. I might end up adding some additional sub plots etc. We'll see. This one I'm treating more like a complete story with tentative plans for a third and final one. We'll see how that pans out though!
5965803
:)
5965873 Also, no one can miss your updates, as they practically get featured immediately.
5965873 Hang on, I have a gif for this:
Rarity crying.
5965856 For you, I submit this:
derpicdn.net/img/view/2013/3/23/277023__safe_rainbow+dash_animated_artist-colon-lamia_eyebrows_eyebrow+wiggle.gif
The waiting was killing me!
Oh yeah, nothing soothes that itch for quality fiction like a sequel (or sidestory) to a great story. Definitely looking forward to the chapters to come.
5965955 I'm glad to have you over on the new story! I'll be keeping the same schedule I had with Memoirs so we'll be covering a lot of ground quickly!
5965920 And now it ends! Glad to have you over here =)
5965894 Haha thank you ;)
5965882 Well, I hope that is a trend that continues. I was worried I might lose "popular update status" with doing a new story. You've all made Secrets "hot" though so that bodes well. Thank you!
So the next chapter begins .... Let the awesome writing continue good sir!
Yess, Silent Knight is back!
Arriving to location
5966034 Can do! More on Wednesday ;D
5966056 He is indeed! Every Monday and Wednesday for a while again =)
