A little on-the-nose about the theme but still a cute story. Interesting concept by the way.
Like the commentor before me remarked, an interesting concept. In this fic, Lyra is related to the Diarchs by blood, whereas in the canon, she is from one of the wealthy families of Canterlot. Indeed, while named a "prince", Blueblood is not related to Celestia or Luna, but is a scion from a very old family, the descendant of Princess Platinum.
If I had any complaint, it is the fact that most people use the Internet names for some of these characters, rather than the actual canon names. Bonbon isn't her name, but rather Sweetie Drops. True, I do know that I am nit-picking, and if that annoys you, my bad. Just as I hate the name "Derpy" for Ditzy (I mean, let us be honest, "Derpy" is rather making mockery of her misaligned eyes), yet I still just pass on the name for her, much I usually do for others who are named differently from the canon. Another example is "Dr. Whooves", whose canon name is Time Turner. Just a minor annoyance. However, go ahead and use whatever name you think. I know of whom you are referring to. Have a moustache for the effort:

Honestly however they used both in the slice of life episode!
And derpy is not an insult
I like it for her

Actually, Blueblood being descended from Princess Platinum is a fanfiction addition that has been repeated so many times that fans accept it as canon where it is not. He is related directly to Celestia and Luna, 52 generations removed, as is shown in the official wiki, which I will provide.

Also, Lyra Heartstrings, officially, doesn't belong to any noble house, as is shown in her wiki. And furthermore, her parents are never named in any episode and her magic is never really shown which gives pause to how she was a classmate with Twilight Sparkle.

Furthermore... Sweetie Drops isn't even taggable on Fimfiction... only Bon-bon is taggable. So maybe you should complain to the admin of the site?
I don't mind you nitpicking. I obsess over the quality of my stories. In this fic... I'm simply proposing that it is possible that Lyra has unusual lineage. Which was inspired by 'An Unroyal Wedding', Lyra supposedly had 'Princess' as part of her name... which made me wonder... what if she really was a princess?

Okay, I withdraw my "nit-picking". I clearly know very little about the lesser BC's in the canon, and I apologize to any who feel slighted by my remarks.
As is often the case, every reader has their own ideas regarding the characters of a given fic, whether a cartoon show or a book. I have mine, which I am not sorry about. Do know that I am NOT one of those zealot fans, just a casual follower of the show and its fine set of characters.
And I do stand on the opinion that "Bonbon" is known as Sweetie Drop. I can't give you any links, simply because I don't know how to do such a thing here, but I do remember that name used in at least one of the episodes. (It might be the episode named "Slice of Life" but I can't be sure anymore...)
11617351
That's the funny thing. In Lyra's wiki page, her partner is named Sweetie Drops but Sweetie Drops is not a taggable name on FimFiction, only Bonbon is. Maybe they felt like people would confuse Sweetie Drops with Sweetie Belle? Hard to say.
11617351
Edit: Upon further investigation, according to the WIKI, the name "Sweetie Drops" is the moniker used by Bon-bon as an agent of S.M.I.L.E. In conclusion, I am wrong, and I do apologize for my mistake.
Just another act of putting my hoof in my mouth. At least I am adult enough to admit my mistakes....

Perhaps we can all agree that Blueblood is a dick. Of course, the writers needed a character such as Blueblood against Rarity. However, beyond that episode, he is never used for anything in the series, but does have use in the comics.
I did want to write a Blueblood fic, but someone else already has. Guess I'll have to think of another thing to write. Dusk Shine is pretty much overused, and there are too many HiE fics here.

You should check out my Blueblood fic. Trying to give the guy some character development.

Blueblood just wants to be left alone. prince-chasing mares and high society have other plans.11664107
Honestly, I have nothing myself against BB. My only thing is how he comes off in the show, that's all. For the most part, he acts like he's special and entitled, which puts him above everypony else, save his aunts.
Also, have you been following BB in Netap's fic, "Trash of the Royal Castle"? Where a Human, who knows nothing about the show or Prince Blueblood and make the character into something else? Rather humorous, even if it relies much on the comics rather than the show.

Yes, that's how they wrote him. The below fanfic gives his side of the story which changes everything.
No, not familiar with it.

ooh, that is an interesting Lyra headcanon!
rip Twilight and Lyra’s friendship
oof, this does not seem to be the warmest of mother-daughter relationships!
oof, being a secret child sounds awful, but the tradeoff in getting to live freely is something to consider. very sad, really. a very interesting take, and neat that this is somehow the second fic involving a “Princess Lyra” that i’ve read for this contest so far. thank you for writing!
You really need to stop using ellipses when you mean to use commas. It makes the prose needlessly ominous.
In all, this is a good concept. You could’ve dropped the framing device and made it purely epistolary if you wanted, but it works as is. However, you don’t really expand the concept beyond “Lyra is Celestia’s daughter.” Yes, there’s not much room to expand it given the word limit, but this still feels more like presenting an idea rather than a full narrative. Good stuff, but I’m left unsatisfied.

Maybe I'll write a prequel that creates a broader overview of the concept and then a sequel that serves as some kind of follow up. I'd like to think that my writing is getting better, but I don't do well with short stories.
11699092
And I'm not sure how to stop using ellipses instead of commas... that's just my writing style.
