Years after leaving Equestria, Majesty Blueblood begins to leave the comfort of her home and into the world with excitement. However, forces both friendly and hostile seek to change her into a monster that threatens the stability of the world
Well... shit. You can definitely see here how Majesty is slowly starting to become the evil queen she was destined to become here. Ruining an entire family using what few resources she had, just to secure her future.
August seems to be having regrets with what Majesty is becoming, but I think it is already too late to help her. I wonder though, Dia seemed to hate Equestria just as much as everyone else in Unicornia, but could she become an ally to Equestria and Spike one day if it meant destroying Majesty?
Majesty had been angry that her uncle kept such things from her, but his excuse made her anger diminish it a bit. He wanted her to at least live the life of a filly a bit longer before going into the battlefield that was politics. While she could appreciate the sentiment, Majesty couldn’t afford to delay her entry in it any longer. She was the future Queen of Unicornia and Equestria. She needed to prepare for her destiny.
The sooner the better, huh Majesty?
The problem was how to deal with this first hurtle down the road. Dealing with Dia was nothing compared to having to deal with the patriarch of the family. The more she looked up General Waterblaze, the more she began to realize her first significant obstacle was going to be like pushing a mountain with a rubber duck. The stallion was of noble military blood, with accolades and accomplishments that dated back as far as his first years as a private.
What a powerful stallion.
There was also his wife, Lady Red Rose Waterblaze. Apparently, Lady Waterblaze was seen as a beauty with a big social network that only seemed to expand as the years go on. The slaves often heard she had many visitors to her house, almost every day, and she did something to gain information that she could use for her family’s benefit. Not even her husband, who was rarely around, knew of what his wife did, but he often benefited from it, so he didn’t care.
...wait. Oooooooooh nooooooooooo....
The question was, how was she, a filly with no significant political power besides her own symbolic title, take them down? That law was going to pass in a week, and she needed something that her uncle could use to turn it against General Waterblaze. She wasn’t going to be denied the right to marry her prince. He was hers. It had been that since they were born as agreed by their fathers.
How indeed.
The deer had been silent after her explanation, but he did smile at the end of her worries. “My dear Majesty, you have the solution before you.”
“I do?” Majesty asked, raising an eyebrow.
“You said you need a way to get more information about the Waterblazes, correct?” She nodded. “Well, what do you have currently that is in your power and control?”
Dia, right?
Majesty raised her eyebrow a bit and thought about it until the answer hit her straight on the head. She nearly slapped herself for her stupidly. “Of course! Dia! Thanks to my blackmail, I have her in my pocket!” She then frowned. “But would she turn against her own family?”
“My dear, use the right words and methods, and you can make a priest turn against his god...”
Called it.
Dia Waterblaze didn’t think she would ever get scared over a smile, but upon seeing the large one on Majesty Blueblood’s face, she felt her spine shiver. Ever since she was forced to surrender her position to the bitch, Dia had lost all her power and become a nopony. The saying that it was quicker to fall then it was to rise was correct in her case. All her so-called “friends” had abandoned her to brown-nose to Majesty, even though less than three weeks ago they were laughing at her misery. Despite still getting good grades, Dia was forced to only answer when called upon instead of showing off her skills in order for Majesty to look better. Yet the worst of it was the fact she had to pretend to be civil with that Equestrian invader.
She was tempted to just transfer schools at this point, but her parents would demand to know why, and Dia was hesitant to tell them the truth. Even though they were rarely around, Dia’s parents always knew what was going on with life. Of course, it would kill them to spend five minutes being part of that life.
A nobles reputation is pretty much everything.
Now she was being forced to meet with Majesty, again, on top of the school. Wasting no time, the dethroned queen arrived where Majesty was staring at her with narrow eyes. Grumbling, Dia walked over to Majesty and asked. “What do you want?”
“Your parents. What can you tell me about them?” Majesty asked.
Raising an eyebrow, Dia replied, “What do you mean?”
“What I mean is that I want you to tell me about them. You’re their daughter after all,” Majesty pointed out, huffing.
Good point.
“My father is a big military general, and my mother is a socialite. What else is there to say?” Dia muttered, shrugging her shoulders.
“There has to be more than that!” Majesty demanded, getting in the frightened filly’s face. “Remember, I can drop those photos anytime I want! So unless you want your butt being plastered on everypony's locker, I suggest you give me something!”
Oh no, NOT the photos!!!
“W-well, I don’t have anything!” Dia screamed, gritting her teeth. “My parents are always too busy to do anything! Dad’s always busy working, and my Mom is always hanging out with her stallion friends! I don’t know what else to tell you!”
Majesty was about to open her mouth when she paused and looked at Dia with wide eyes. “Stallion friends?”
“Yeah, when she’s not hanging out with her mare friends, she’s always being invited by these other stallions. Nobles I think, but some of them are in the army since I’ve seen them with Dad,” Dia continued, shrugging. “They often go out and come home late. I spot them sometimes when I’m about to go to bed. I asked my Mom once, and she said that they’re just going out for fun and enjoying the company of others. She says not to worry about it.”
...
...
...
...
I...I'm right, aren't I? There is infidelity going on in the Waterblaze Household?!
For awhile Majesty Blueblood just stared at her with her jaw slightly open while staring at Dia in disbelief. “What?” Dia asked.
Majesty then snorted and held her hoof to her mouth before shaking her head. Eyes of pity and yet a smile of surprise decorated her face as the alicorn answered, “For such a smart girl, you sure are dumb.”
“Huh?” Dia asked again.
“Never mind,” Majesty said, walking past a confused Dia while looking behind her shoulder. “And thanks for the help. You’ve been most useful.”
Dia didn’t know what Majesty had meant, but she had a bad feeling for her and for her family. A sinking feeling in her stomach made her feel that she had suddenly just signed them their own death warrants.
Oh Dia...you poor naive child.
Unlike Dia, Majesty had been well versed in the concept of cheating, thanks to her father. Whether it was Equestria, Unicornia, or anywhere else in the world, it was a well-known fact that nobles often cheated on their spouses. She didn’t know why they did it, or what cheating entailed—she had often been told she needed to be older for that—but Majesty knew that kissing or hanging out with someone who isn't your husband or wife was a bad thing. And while everypony was doing it, the point was not to get caught for the sake of image.
And Unicornian ponies took their images very seriously.
Like I said, image is everything in this place.
Naturally, Majesty went to her uncle about her findings, which he confessed to suspecting for a while now. Rumors of how Lady Waterblaze slept with other stallions to gain secrets and gossip was always there, but there was no proof. General Waterblaze himself didn’t believe them either, apparently. He believed his wife was faithful to him and him alone.
So Majesty and her uncle sat in his office, trying to think of a way to expose her and scandalize General Waterblaze.The idea came to Majesty when she saw one of their Flutter Pony slaves walk inside with tea, and her thoughts turned to Nazo and his first, and most important, lesson: “Everyone can be used to advance you further.”
Such true words....
“Slave? What’s your name?” Majesty asked, nearly spooking the creature into dropping the teapot.
“Um, L-Lemy, Mistress.”
“Lemy, how would you like to perform a task for us in exchange for freedom?”
Oh no, shit is going to hit the fan!!!
Four days later and Majesty could see the fruits of her labor at school. She walked with her friends, smiling with sweet satisfaction over the gossip among the students.
“Did you hear about the rumors of Lady Waterblaze? Dia’s mother?”
“Yeah! I heard it from Minty! Is it true that there are photos of her sleeping with Lord Firewand?!”
“I heard she was doing both of the Solace Twins at the same time!”
“Rumors are going around that Dia isn’t even General Waterblaze’s daughter, but somepony else’s!”
“I heard that some of his own officers were sleeping with his wife behind his back! They confessed and everything!”
“The church is going to be handing out a lot of annulments this year.”
“My mother says she always knew she was a whore. Whatever that means.”
“I wonder what Dia is thinking about this? Has anyone seen her?”
“She hasn’t come to school since this all started, but I hear she’s been crying every day in her bed.”
“I kinda feel sorry for her.”
“I don’t! That bitch deserves it.”
“Rumors are already spreading that she slept with slaves. Slaves!”
“Ugh, what kind of unicorn would ever make out with a Flutter Pony? Or any other creature for that matter? Things like that are only done in Equestria, and you know how horrible of a place that is!”
DAMMIT!!! Now the entire academy knows!!!
It was all too much for Majesty, and she couldn’t help but laugh, much to her friends' confusion. When they asked her what was so funny, all she could do was answer, “Nothing, just the sweet feeling of accomplishment.”
“Did you do something about this?” Jade whispered in awe.
“Woah, how did you get the photos?” Forrest asked, leaning forward.
Majesty chuckled, “Let’s just say it's easy to plant a spy when nobles don’t give a damn about what their servants look like.”
After all, to most Unicornians, a Flutter Pony slave looked the same to every other one in their eyes.
Majesty you sly little devil you....
It was all her fault.
One pony. Just one pony had turned Dia's life into a living nightmare.
Majesty Blueblood.
Majesty Bucking Blueblood.
A good lesson for this is: Never underestimate your opponent or enemy.
A pony who should never have been born or even allowed into the graces of their vast kingdom. The Bluebloods had to be using black magic to make it this far. To be such devious and evil ponies that would corrupt the Royal Family. And to make her life a living hell.
Dia had long lost the ability to cry after so many days of staying in her room out of shame. How could this have happened? She knew her parents were always busy, but she always assumed they loved each other. That they loved her, their daughter.
All things are not as they appear.
It was ironic that she always wished her parents were home more often, but now that they were, it wasn’t the happy scenario she hoped for. Her father was on the warpath, interrogating the slaves to find out who took pictures of his wife. Not to mention he was looking for the blood of the ones who exposed the scandal in the first place, ruining his family name. Despite their pleas of innocence, he had many sent to the imprisonment camps to force others to talk, but they didn’t say anything that pleased him. Every time she tried to speak to him, he looked at her like she was not his daughter, but a curse. At first, she thought he knew that Dia had talked to Majesty of her mother’s strange behavior, but then she heard the rumors from a slave that pitied her. They were saying that she was not her father’s child, but one of her mother’s many lovers.
A child without the notion of who their true father is...such a cruel cruel world.
That scared Dia more than anything. That she was a bastard instead of a trueborn. She could be tossed into the streets with nothing if her father demanded it. If he even was her father.
Her mother, however, had it worse. Her father had all but thrown her into her room, locked it, and forbid anyone to enter. It had been six days, and all that was allowed was a single servant to serve bread and water until she had confessed the names of all her lovers. She screamed, pleaded, and threatened to the point that Dia couldn’t even sleep. She wanted to go to her mommy and give her something. Even a hug. However, the door was barred by magic too powerful for her to stop.
Okay, it's one thing to be upset at your spouse for infidelity, its another thing entirely to abuse them!!!
Her family was being ruined, and it was all that damn alicorn’s fault.
No, Dia thought to herself in shame, it’s my fault.
Having her secret underwear exposed to the world would have been better than this. Being second best compared to that bitch was better than this. Please, Fausticorn, I want everything to go back to normal! I want my parents to love each other again! I’ll do whatever you want! Just please stop--
A scream interrupted her thoughts as she heard one of the slaves screaming, “Murder! Murder!”
...
...
...
...
...No...NO...not this, anything but this!!!
The tiny heart in Dia’s chest halted for a single moment before she rushed out of her room and down the hall towards her parents' room. It was opened fully for the first time in six days, allowing her a chance to enter. However, Dia quickly wished she didn’t look for the scene before her would forever haunt her days. Standing there, holding a bloody fire poker, was her father, without clothing and looking pale and in shock. The blood was all over his face while he breathed heavily while looking downward at what he had done. Glancing in the same direction, Dia felt her blood turn to ice upon seeing her mother, once strong and proud, lying there with her eyes wide open in shock as pale as a ghost with her clothing ripped to shreds while black and blue hoofprints were all over her face. Her throat pierced straight in the jugular as her life essence flowed out like a faucet without a plug. There were even more holes all over her body which added more to the growing pool of blood her silent mother laid in.
She fell to her haunches in horror, her mouth open yet she couldn’t scream. Her father didn’t even look at her. He just looked at his dead wife in disbelief; like he couldn't believe what he had done either. Neither of the two said or did anything until the guards came and arrested her father.
On that day, Dia Waterblaze lost her family.
On that day, Dia Wateblaze lost her faith in Faust.
On that day, Dia Waterblaze swore that she would see Majesty Blueblood ruined.
Even if it took the rest of her life to do so.
The seed has been sewn...for a revolt.
“Yes, sit please,” August Blueblood said, sighing as he turned around to face the seer. “The recently disgraced General Waterblaze’s bill was turned down.”
“Just as I said it would,” Nazo replied with a smile.
Just as you said Nazo.
“Yes, not only is this bill no longer a threat, but General Waterblaze will be executed for his crime in murdering his wife. Even if she did cheat on him, it was no excuse for the abuse and murder he performed on her,” August Blueblood said, but his tone was anything but happy. His long-time rival was going to die a disgraced stallion, and yet he seemed like a bittersweet victory.
“So why do you not sound satisfied?” Nazo asked, looking at his hooves.
He didn't want it to end like this.
“A little girl has lost her father and mother while witnessing the former kill the latter in rage,” August spat. “I find myself disgusted that we had to ruin such a young filly’s life for our own benefit.”
I don't blame you...no child deserves to lose their parent.
“But Majesty’s future is more secure, is it not? Of course, we wouldn’t have been able to do this without her idea,” Nazo pointed out with a smile. “It was clever of her to put one of our own slaves with the slaves of the Waterblaze’s. Nobles don’t care who wipe their butts after they shit as long as someone does it.”
“Yes, the idea of using a slave as a spy seems to be alien to these unicorns. I’m surprised nopony here has ever thought of it,” August nodded, but then raised an eyebrow. “What of the slave we promised to give his freedom in exchange for the photos?”
“I took him to the docks, making him think we were sending him away to the Changeling Republic, then I slit his throat and dumped his body into the sea,” Nazo said without a care.
I'm...not exactly surprised. No way Lemy would be freed just like that.
“Good, I don’t want anything connecting us to this,” August answered before sighing again. “However, the thing that worries me most is Majesty’s reaction to all this. Do you know what she said what I asked if she felt any pity for Dia Waterblaze for losing her entire family at such a young age?”
“That she is our enemy and we can’t afford to feel pity for them?” Nazo answered with a grin.
Called it again Nazo.
“I hate that ability of yours,” August answered, growling. “I sometimes wonder if we’re doing the right thing regarding Majesty.”
“Do you want your family to rule Equestria? For your brother’s dream to be accomplished?” Nazo asked, but received silence as an answer. “Then keep at it, and you’ll get what you want.”
No turning back now...the Black Star will rise, and shower everything in her light of darkness.
“And what do you want out of all this, Nazo?” August asked, raising an eyebrow.
“I get what I’ve always wanted,” Nazo answered as he got up and made his way out to the door.
“And that is?”
He paused and turned around with a smile. “Nothing.”
...Nothing???
Yeah, have I mentioned that Majesty is a bit of a psycho?
9869675 Me too. At this point I can’t really be upset with her even after all she’s done to make Majesty look bad. Dia will be scarred for life after this...then again, she already is.
DAMMIT MAJESTY!!!! I feel bad for Dia since she almost lived a good life like Twilight Sparkle did. I hope one day she would get her revenge or maybe escape Unicornia just to switch sides with the Equestrian ponies to get revenge on Majesty Blueblood.
Well... shit. You can definitely see here how Majesty is slowly starting to become the evil queen she was destined to become here. Ruining an entire family using what few resources she had, just to secure her future.
August seems to be having regrets with what Majesty is becoming, but I think it is already too late to help her. I wonder though, Dia seemed to hate Equestria just as much as everyone else in Unicornia, but could she become an ally to Equestria and Spike one day if it meant destroying Majesty?
The sooner the better, huh Majesty?
What a powerful stallion.
...wait. Oooooooooh nooooooooooo....
How indeed.

Oh no, NOT the photos!!!

A bit?! That's putting it mildly don't you think?
I hope Dia can be a wonderful wrench in so many plans. I hope she survives and in the end she can find a measure of happiness when she meets Faust.

Me too. At this point I can’t really be upset with her even after all she’s done to make Majesty look bad. Dia will be scarred for life after this...then again, she already is.
an old saying comes to mind, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. and it gives me an idea for my story involving Dia.
Of course she is psycho, look who raised her. She had nochance
i freakin love your assasinverse stories! stay strong!
DAMMIT MAJESTY!!!! I feel bad for Dia since she almost lived a good life like Twilight Sparkle did. I hope one day she would get her revenge or maybe escape Unicornia just to switch sides with the Equestrian ponies to get revenge on Majesty Blueblood.
Found a little mistake there.
