Woah. This deal was not what I was expecting, but it also makes perfect sense.
And now most of the empathy I had for this old Luna is now all gone... hah...

why? she made a deal with a demon and seems to not have any extrem prince apart from having a nightmare in her
One evil to destroy another.
I am reminded of one of my favorite villain settings. If you have 2 or more great evils, pit them against each other in a way that they contain themselves. If they are too busy destroying each other in their own worlds, then they offer much less harm to those outside of their influence.

The problem is this was too familiar to Sombra.
The Nightmare creatures are proven to be a sentient race capable of forming complex goverment. And instead of treating them like ones, Luna used them no difference than Sombra used his slaves.
If Luna had ability to bend the race of Nightmare creatures to her wills, I believed that she will use them, a sapient race, as throwaway fodders against sombra, and that made me lose empathy with her.

That would all apply, except that it seems that the nightmare creatures are themselves parasitic creatures to her species. Which makes it ok for a host creature to attempt to cleanse them.
Now I know that that previous statement makes me sound like a eu******st but, they are literal parasites. Like not metaphorical, like they are literaly extracting physical bodily stuff from sapient hosts, unwillingly and at cost of the host.
Basically. If two sentient species are diametrically opposed by their very nature. It kind of makes sense for them to war and fight. Enough to mollify the morals of the situation at least.

Well, I didn't say what she did is right or wrong, just they way she did it without guilt or remorse made me feel less empathy for her.
There are many parasitic species that I came to care about, including FiM's changelings. Trying to make a compromise and peaceful co-existance should be primary objective.
And if you say "it's different time period" or something along that line and Luna's behavior should be excused... What's about Celestia?

kinda read like the prince knows and accepts that luna will destory his commoner nightmares that goafter her ponies. maby he accepts the role he was born to play. Luna did seem to play their game and the prince accepted that this happens so while it might not have been the moral thing to do we all know that in war morals can sometimes get weird.
Plus from lunas quick talk to the moon it seems that talking and bargeining with the nightmares is the thing that could get her corrupted implying that slaying them is the norm and endorsed by the moon.
There is also the possibility that this bargin power is able to be used by all nightmares and that is any nightmares end goal, get someone so terrifyed that they will do or agree to anything to feel safe. maby in this story the nightmares are more involved with sombra then we know and thats why the prince was supprised at what luna asked for insted of that she showed up at all. bait to get her to make a deal but they did not expect her to be able to out smart them, perhaps the nobels and celestia did her a favor by being so ignorent to lunas smarts and wit as the nightmares likely got any info on her from them and the lesser nightmares.

And that's all just wishful thinking. Which hadn't been shown to be the case yet.
Until there's something else that confirm it, this is my stand.
It's more of that guy's impulse buyer instinct than Luna's sassiness
"You want the deal or not? Deal ended in 3 2 1..."
"Yes, take my money!"
"Lol you got ripoff, no refund."
"B-but. What?"
"No refund"

if luna is familer enough with the nightmares to know their structure of leadership im guessing she also knows any tricks they use and if so maby she is using the same trick of time pressure for a deal that seems good. seems the kinda deal they might make and maby thats why it seemed the prince was not disatisfyed with him being adsorbed or something, cause luna understands how they work and was able to get one over him so he might view it as a well played thing

What I will say on the matter, is that there is lore at work under the story's hood. It may be sometime before it crops up again, but it is there.
oh? so Moonie is her hubby in a way? he's a prince (now princess) and a part of lulu now cool
