This story is a sequel to The Princess' Vanishing Spider
Rarity has a plan, as flawless and beautiful and perfect as she is: The sovereign Mi Amore Cadenza has planned a visit, and with it an opportunity to capture her heart. There’s only one small problem with this plan.
They share a taste in bodyguards.
Part of the Bodyguard!AU series.

And unsurprisingly, another very well written Story!
Obviously all of the banter and romance is amazing but I'm going to spotlight Fluttershy as the sarcastic comic relief one. She was not born to it, but she wields it well.
You've done it again, Mono. Well done.
Aaaaaand straight into faves.
A very beautiful story!
Thank you very much!
Why choose one, be both
...wonder how long it took before Twilight realised that Rarity was flirting with her?
Ohhh, nice retort
That's adorable
Creation, Fluttershy is amazing
Drama queen Rarity strikes again.
Would have been a perfect moment for Twilight to propose at the end there.
RariTwi is always the best ship.
Ok but the lore! The lore!
In the first chronological story where they meet in this universe (the princess's choice which seems to no longer be accessible on the site QQ, someone send me a copy if they have it downloaded so it's not gone forever), rarity was choosing who would be her bodyguard, and had both selected twilight to be her bodyguard from the start and had a crush on twilight by the time she left, which is in direct odds with this backstory. Now, we can possibly square the circle by saying she was potentially overruled and got a different bodyguard whom twilight eventually replaced, but it seems unlikely that rarity wouldn't throw a fit about it. This leaves a big plot inconsistency. Unrelatedly the mention of capra and assinia implies that this is in an alternate version of the moonlight palaver world.
Thanks for coming to today's overanalyzing of horse fanfiction.
Dang, I wanted to see some escalation when Cadance returned to Twilight being in her armor but she sort of backed off. Also I fully admit I was expecting Shining to be Cadance's guard in this AU of very high profile guards
Outstanding dialog that follows a logical path all the way through. Very well presented.
Disgustingly adorable as always.
The real lesson is that the Sparkle family line has superior charm passed down for generations
Ah, I hope this series never ends.
"Twilight, do be a darling and come up with a plan for Cadance to take over Equestria, would you?"
Ahhh my heaarttt! This is too cute. n_n
Celestia this was perfect!
She has to keep you humble somehow.
Incredibly cute story. I skipped this "Bodyguard au" for the longest time because I assumed it would make Twilight OOC but you really make it work.
