In the halls of the Crystal Palace, Rarity has a dinner and a conversation with her young ward about several things. It ends up changing a lot of things between them.

Rated Teen for some mental innuendo by Rarity (NOT about Flurry Heart!)
Not connected to my other story; this is just something I got inspired to write one night.
Chapters (1)
Hmmm. I haven’t played Moon Crystal Empire in a while but from I remember, Cadence and Shining Armor are subordinated under Rarity but never actually removed.
I’m always a fan of good EaW fics like this. Thanks for sharing it.
awesome story mate keep it up cant wait for the next story
This was good stuff! Cheers for the great success!

Yes, that's ture normally. However, in this story Sombra appeared shortly before the Equestrian Civil War fired, and while Flurry wasn't in the Crystal Empire at the time, Cadence and Shining obviously were, and Sombra executed them both after imprisoning them, just like he can do in the game. Maybe I should've made that clear in the story itself.

I'm 110% sure Cadence and Shining having a chance of being executed is being removed in a future update. Theres a standing rule that canon characters cannot die and Crystal Empire was written over 2 years ago.

I know, but it hasn't been removed yet, so I just went with it.
You can also read the story as Nightmare having imprisoned Cadence and Shining, if you want to.

Yeah but their deaths was before the rule of no canon deaths
"(NOT about Flurry Heart!)"
Lel, too bad. That would have been funny.

Ehh, maybe another time.
Good story.
I love reading stories taking place in those Canon alternate universe and I have to say, yours is awesome! In my experience it seems unique and oh so adorable

Which is a rule I personally disagree with, but you are correct, it will be removed at some point. Or not, I doubt the Crystal Empire will be updated anytime soon.
Adorable story! Their relationship look so warm and wonderful!
A good story, I shall definitely be reading the sequel! Rarity felt spot on and the tone is brilliant, an excellent setup.

It is a possible thing that can happen in the mod. https://equestriaatwar.miraheze.org/wiki/Lunar_Empire https://equestriaatwar.miraheze.org/wiki/Crystal_Empire#Alternate_Path_-_Lunar_Puppet
