update Y-E-Ssss!
Take your time, my good sir. World-building of this caliber is absolutely worth the wait. Indeed, thank you for continuing to bring it to the site!
I am starting to think, through some hints, or that i think are hints, that the Royal Engeneer is gay, and not just a matter of lack of attraction for the pony form.

ХАХ! А вы однако оптимист!
Love the dailies and all the work that you've put in to clean things up. Take the time you need =D
“And this is particularly likely since the Reverend Mother Superior Carmen Ébanoscudo is my mother."
I actually was not expecting that!
That would explain so much.

На самом деле его манеры и характер, на сколько я понял обусловлены его Аристократичным положением. И желанием сохранять себя в этих высотах, с целью сохранить такие привилегии и прочую роскошь, которая на него свалилась как дар с неба. И он пришелец, который добился такого положения, которое может быть только в сказках. И на всем этом фоне он плавно становится чуждым любви. Его страсть инженерия и он помолвлен с ней. Прям как Шерлок Холмс.
So Ebonshield is part of a moon pony Morag Tong. Interesting...

This actually came up early in the assignment; Celestia would have given him stallions if that were the case, and the Quaternion would have been swapped out if he was.
Gotta say, can't like this enough. Its adorable, fascinating in lore and the interplay is well done.
Ah, what a dramatic cliffhanger to leave us on, and to await yet another day entirely for a new chapter.
Well, ‘s'ha acabat el bròquil.
Of Ebonshield's Star-Temple, I assume that it's loosely based on the real and fictitious depictions of the original Order of Assassins in their mountain fortress of Masyaf Castle, but I'm not sure if they reference something else.
As I have said previously (and to the point where I had convinced myself, lol), this could go to once a week, and I would not complain, because this story is GOOOOOOOD!
I knew it!
A very comfy chapter! You really captured the relaxing atmosphere of the spa through Ebonshield’s eyes.
And it looks as though Honor Bound is getting a little clingy with her VIP, there! Thankfully for her, Anonymous is either totally oblivious to the signals, or just so dedicated to his celibacy that he’s become a master of pretending to not notice when mares are either coming on to him or having hot steamy fantasies about being dominated by him; both on the battlefield and in the bedroom, as it seems to be in Ebonshield’s case.
No worries about the new posting schedule. This story is enjoyable regardless how many days between each chapter!
Cheers!

me neither
Isn't "Avocado" derived from something like "testicle fruit" in Mexican Spanish?

So... that would have to mean that the Reverend Mother would have to at least be in her 60s.
Considering how both mother and daughter are described as being quite attractive examples of their species; this only further cements my belief that under the right conditions, mares can age like fine wine!
Yep call it, not to diminish the surprise or anything it just that, its a very common trope.
Although I will say this make things ten times creepier on how strongly she keep asking and questioning her own freaking daughter sex life as if that was like what she had for breakfast, castrate her verbally for basically no present herself, and then whore an entire house because tradition.
Je if Anon wasn't interest in her before, boy this definitely just seal the deal. Something tells me Ebonshield isn't interest on her VIP whatsoever, the only reason she act like that is simple 'want what you can't had' train of thought.
10615731
You mean "castigate," right?
10615734
nope woman can be 'castrated' too the term isn't exclusively about chopping a male genitalia, it refer to cut the ability of reproduce. And if she didn't do the verbal equivalent then she seriously judge her for it.
10615730
Я с вами полностью соглашаюсь. И такое вино может сильно ударить в голову!
10615731
Зачем вы портите настроение своим Осуждающим комментарием?
10615741
Вы говорите правду, брат!
that was a neat little twist at the end
Наверно мои слова кому то не понравятся, НО в этой истории я смог увидеть в Кармен что то хорошее. А все плохое что про нее думают и говорят что в истории, что читатели, я решил просто смять и выкинуть как фантик от конфеты, в мусорное ведро. Поэтому я буду защищать Преподобную мать Кармен, в комментариях!
Come to the dark side, we have family.
Filler.
10615676
Disagree. He's an anime harem (or should I say "herd"?) protagonist, trying to maintain his purity in the face of three (maybe four) women chasing him with various levels of interest. Eventually he'll break, and then there will be the Tenchi Solution.
Ah so Ebonshield belongs to the Hassans lol
10615707
He could have just not told her, since he gave him the guards without telling him as a surprise, and later decided not simply say anything.
Well............. shit...... Ebonyshield.. l love you, l utterly do.... but your mother is a right cunt, and needs a real pimping bitch-slap from Luna.
So Mother is basically complaining about no Grand foals to spoil?
"Settle down. Find a Stalion, *Beep* him till his limbs turn to Jelly. Bring back some Little Bats for Mother to Dote upon in her old age.
10615774
There are no herd dynamics in this story, considering the term saltine, and Glamespear being "the other mare", meanings marriages are monogamous here, he could get into all of his guards, but even if that happens, he will be forced to chose one if he intend to make it permanent.
Good Lord! Everything regarding Ebonshield is a bomb dropped one after another! Four bombs in two chapters?! What else is there to know! I can't wait to find out how this all spells out the future! Ebonshield is getting more and more interesting now...

Я считаю что это эгоистично по отношению к кобылам. Букет хорош из нескольких цветков. Этот мир наполнен больше кобылами, по сравнению с жеребцами. И если бы их было поровну, то я сомневаюсь что правителем в Эквестрии были исключительно женский пол!
Я против моногамных отношений в Эквестрии.
Actually, wouldn't it be easier for you to keep the thing daily, but have week-long pauses every once in a while?
10615821
It would be bad for my work ethic.
Oy. Poor Purity -- even assuming for optimism’s sake that she and her mother did start originally out on the best of terms, growing up in that household and doubtlessly facing pressure from both within (her mother, her brother and who knows what other family members) and without (anybat who thought they could use her as a tool against or at least to gain access to her mother in particular) can’t have been fun.
Kind of no wonder that she wanted to go to the surface so badly and that she enjoys the intimate company of ponies (and possibly others) who legitimately have no clue whose daughter she is as much as she does.
10615808
That depends if that is canon in the story, it is not confirmed in the show, but each fic have their own views on that, some follow normal ratios, some apply herds, some are reverse gender, but in "here", that is not the case.
This thing couldnt get any more personal.
I stand corrected
10615858
From what I've gleaned from the story's setting, Monogamy is the ideal, but the widespread practice of entertaining side mares, even among married stallions, the sheer rate of relationship troubles among our heroines, and Glamerspear's comment about the Royal Engineer's "own little herd of mares" suggests that the idealized monogamous relationship is much more of an ideal than a practice, and Celestia, as the rumors go, likely eschews the notion entirely. These complications are likely inspired by elements of TheManFromAnotherTime's sources of inspiration, like the rampant hypocrisy repeatedly pointed to in Victorian society in The Flashman series, from which Everyday Life With Guardsmares draws significant inspiration.
10615834
There will be more of this in the upcoming chapter, but I need the feel to point out Ebonshield has already given a hint some chapters ago on this, when she explained things a bit to the Engineer Royal, and things might not be exactly as you or others imagine. One thing to keep in mind is that when Ebonshield refers to Houses, she refers to the nation-like city-states of the Moon, not actual households.
Ok.. didn't see that coming.
10615791
Forget dote. More like groom to be useful in my on-going schemes.
oh shiet...well nothing like having your mother ask you "why have you not fucked your target already"?
10615762
how is this filler?
10615914
Разумный вопрос. Она проявляет заботу!
10615731
Well it's culturally appropriate, not an aberration in this instance. The Children of the Stars are promiscuous and don't have any hangups with sex and asking about it is probably just table talk. Slighting her daughter for failure on the other hand was probably out of bounds, but she apparently is angry with her daughter and wants her to know just how angry she is.
10615942
That ...actually makes a lot of sense, thanks
