After a series of amazing detective work by the Royal Guard, Count Chocolate was caught. Being one of the ring leaders in an attempted coup to assassinate the Royal princesses, his sentence was obvious from the start. Even faced with his impending death, the others in his coup are still at large.

Still, the princesses with their kindness and forgiveness (ahem) have given the despicable Count a choice. If he names his accomplices, his life will be spared. Sadly the Count is renowned for his fierce loyalty, one that could rival that of the Element of Loyalty herself. How will the princesses convince the stubborn Count to tell them what they want to know, or will he willfully face the axe.

Uuuuuuughhhhh.

Well played.

*Womp-Womp*

Nicely done. :moustache:

*snort*:rainbowlaugh:

An entire story used to set up a pun? GLORIOUS. :trollestia:

2121528 I've got a few of these.

*spittake*
I'm not sure how I feel about this but I am laughing so I guess it's cool.

Well, I think you need a few more! :moustache:

I don't know about anyone else, but I misread the title as "The Beheading of Count Chocula" the first time I read it. I kept that mental image throughout the whole story, so the entire thing was a blast for me. The end was just the cherry on top. :rainbowlaugh:

I'm too impressed to be irritated by the pun. Well played.

This story done made my day. Not only was it amazing as is, imagining Count Chocula just made the whole thing much more amazing! :rainbowlaugh:

I remember that joke from Deekin the kobold.

Wow, I really liked this. Save for some spelling errors, this was very well-written and even with the slightly darker moment near the end, it was a very enjoyable and comical read (there's nothing wrong with some darker comedy. This reminded me of something the Coen brothers would come up with).

Also I have to add that I have decided to put this story into the folders "I Found it Rather Silly", "One-Shots", and "Dark" (due to the darker theme).

Anyway, very well done and I look forward to seeing what you write in the future. :pinkiehappy:

Awesome, I love it! :pinkiehappy::trollestia:

Well played Author. Well Played. :pinkiesmile:

I read Time Cube and Counts's words simultaneously, with hilarious results like

You accuse me of High Treason
against those you call your princesses,
when in fact I AM THE ONE that should lead you!
You are the TRAITORS!!!
Seek Wisdom of Cubic Life
Intelligence - or you die evil.


They will continue to defy you
after I have died, and
we WILL overthrow you!
I am organizing Children to
join "Cubic Army of 4 Days"
to convert Evil 1 Day Adults
to 4 Day mentality existence,
to serve perpetual humanity.

The best Feghoots come right out of left field like that. Bravo. :heart:

Don't hatchet your Counts before they chicken.

It's a mistake to Count your Chickens before they Hatch(et)!

Let guess at one of his co-conspirators... Is it Boo Berry?

Booooo! This story was fowl! I can't believe all these other commenters are egging you on! I guess there's no acounting for good taste in this fandom! You should be punished for writing something like this! I axe you this one question: Can we count on you to cut out this sort of behavior in the future?

:rainbowlaugh:

"Now I look forward to it. I just wish he'd confess to Blueblood being a part of this. Ooh, I would love to see his head roll."

:pinkiegasp: Dang, that was brutal!

Luna gasped, "Tia! He is our nephew!"

Tia wants to see her NEPHEW'S head roll?! So much for loving your family......

"That, and many other things that cannot be said in polite company. You haven't had the pleasure of spending time with him. When you do, I vow that you'll wish that he was scheduled for the chopping block instead." Princess Celestia looked at the door to the cell as two guards exited closing it behind them with a heavy thud, the bolts clanging into place.

"When you do, I vow you'll wish he was scheduled for the chopping block instead."
Tia really does not like her nephew! Mean! (But still made me laugh)

"Don't hatchet your Counts before they chicken."

This line? Absolutely priceless! :rainbowlaugh:

Lol.

How did I miss this gem of a comment?

That, that ending was funny.

Hours had gone by as the defense attorney tried his very best to defend the stubborn Count. Eventually the final verdict was passed. The defense had done all they could to avoid the inevitable, but the Count had practically signed his own demise by not allowing his own lawyers to do their job and repeatedly stressing how guilty he was.

"Your honor, ponies of the court, my client Count Chocolate-"

"The GUILTY Count!"

"T...the Count Chocolate, stands here today to-"

"To show just how GUILTY he is!"

"STANDS HERE TODAY to answer for charges levied against him!"

"Charges that I am GUILTY of!"

"Could you let me finish my opening statement!?"
