A Curious Maid and an Open Door
Deep within a rarely seen portion of Canterlot Castle, a lone mare dusted the ancient relics. Bored beyond belief. A job within Canterlot Castle should have been a dream come true. Yet the parade of mundane tasks had left the unicorn mare regretting her new position.
The sound of a noisy trolley rolling down the hallway put the maid on alert. She turned around to see an old stallion pushing a cart full of tea and desserts. Ignoring the maid, he went down the hall and stopped in front of one of the many large pairs of doors that ran along the corridor. Using his magic, he opened the doors and pushed the cart in. No sooner had he entered the room did he exit and close the doors behind him. He turned around and walked back the way he came. Again failing to acknowledge the young unicorn.
She watched the old stallion turn a corner and disappear from view. She turned around towards the room where the trolley of goods would be. 'Was there an event planned? That wasn't nearly enough food for more than a few guests,' She thought to herself. She silently made her way down the hall to sate her curiosity. As she snuck towards the room, she began to hear the sound of a light conversation. 'Why would there be a gathering here?' The maid asked herself, 'Unless this event was extra private'. She then realized that as she got closer, she ran the risk of crashing a Royal social gathering. Or worse yet, interrupting a diplomatic meeting. Yet the mare pressed on. The thought of catching a glimpse of somepony important outweighed the risk of getting fired. If only because the young mare had actually yet to see anypony important at her new job.
Finally getting to the door, she noticed that it was slightly ajar. The old stallion had failed to close the door all the way. Giving the maid a chance to peek inside. She turned around one last time to make sure she was the only soul in the hallway. She hesitated, then put her eye to the crack in the doors. Yet she was not prepared for what she saw, and immediately stuffed her hoof in her mouth too keep her from gasping. The Royal Sisters sat together sipping tea and making idle conversation! No royal guards or aids. Alone in a small parlor in a remote part of the castle. The maid couldn't believe her luck. Seeing both Princesses Celestia and Luna would make a great story to tell her friends. But she kept her composure and decided to stay. Watching and listening in the hopes of hearing some interesting gossip.
"…and the curator insisted that the museum should have an exhibit on your banishment." Celestia explained as she took another sip of her tea.
"And what did you tell the good curator?" Luna asked smugly. Assured her sister had her best interest.
"I told him that if he felt so strongly about this issue, that he should take it up with you personally. He quickly changed the subject to Griffon tapestries." Both sisters shared a giggle.
"Oh, but dear sister, surely you'd know that I would be honored to have the lowest point in my life immortalized and put on display." Luna joked.
"Perhaps we should all have paintings of our greatest follies." Celestia countered as she took another sip of tea. "We should commission a great painting of myself. Captured by the Changeling queen herself."Both sisters had a great laugh over the matter. The maid also smirked and suppressed a giggle. But the merriment suddenly stopped as Celestia began coughing violently.
"Sister, are you alright?" Luna inquired. Celestia simply put her hoof up. Signaling her sister to give her a moment to recover. For reasons unknown to the maid, a great deal of saliva started to dribble out of Celestia's mouth. At the same time, Luna's worry seemed to have subsided. She even started to smirk a bit and sipped her tea. The maid contemplated barging in. Blowing her cover in an attempt to save the Princess from whatever was happening. But she stayed, and watched as Celestia appeared to be suppressing the cough. However, she was completely unprepared for what she was about to witness.
Without any sort of warning, a large mass started to make its way up Celestia's neck from her collar. The strange writhing bulge was making its way up her body. The closer it got to her mouth, the more saliva came pouring out. The maid could not comprehend what she was witnessing. But she could swear the mass was making noise on its own. The maid was at a complete loss until the distinct shape of a pony's face pressed against the inside of Celestia's neck. Only then did she make the conclusion. The bulge clearly outlined the body of an adult pony. Still alive and squirming desperately to escape the Princess's body.
Celestia grimaced as the bulge made its way almost to the bottom of her jaw. She tightened her jaw and placed a hoof on her neck. With that she began the process of forcing the pony back down her throat. With every strained swallow she jerked her head slightly forward. And with every swallow the bulge slid further back into her stomach. No sooner had the pony made its way up her neck did it began its journey back down. When the pony made it about halfway down her neck, it began to slide back down on its own without Celestia having to swallow. After the pony finally disappeared into the princess's body, a small burp escaped from her mouth. Causing Luna to once again start giggling.
"My my, Celestia. This is the second time this month. Is my dear sister losing her edge?"
"Oh hush you." The Sun princess retorted with playful sternness. Using a napkin to wipe the excess saliva from her chin.
While the princesses playfully chided each other, the maid nearly passed out from what she had witnessed. She studied Celestia's body. Scrutinizing her belly, she determined there was no way there could possibly an entire pony in there. She took one silent step back from the door to regain her composure. Her ears began to ring and her vision blurred. She suddenly regretted spying on the sisters and ever setting hoof in Canterlot Castle. She wanted to leave, but her own morbid curiosity pulled her back in. She took a deep breath and another step forward. Once again putting her eye to the open door. Trying to figure out the context of what she missed.
"Only 3? That is most disappointing. Especially since you've had one thousand years over me to hone your techniques." Luna remarked sarcastically.
"Oh, and I'm assuming you can prove that you can do better?" Celestia challenged before taking a bite out of a small pastry.
"Undoubtedly. I could even keep them alive long enough to prove it!" Luna retorted.
"So it's a challenge then. You manage four ponies and regurgitate them alive, and I'll have a lovely painting of myself in a changeling cocoon hung in the Royal Art Gallery."
"Ha! A worthy prize indeed."
"But if you fail, they can always make room for a Nightmare Moon exhibit."
"They can save their effort." The Moon Princess scoffed as she polished off a scone. "But I must ask: Before I begin my endeavor, do you happen to have any political rivals that need to be dealt with?"
Celestia smirked. "I'm afraid all of the local dissidents have been picked clean. However, I just thought of the perfect appetizer for you, dear sister."
"It wouldn't happen to be one particularly nosey maid pony, would it?" Luna asked and turned her head towards the door.
The maid's heart dropped.
"Oh, you've seemed to have read my mind." Celestia mimicked her sister and turned to look the maid right in the eye.
Combining their magic, Celestia forced both doors open, knocking the maid on her back. Luna in turn seized the maid with her magic and dragged her into the room. The poor little unicorn was suddenly face to face with the Princess of the Moon. A loud slam accompanied by a loud locking sound meant her fate was sealed within the room.
"Well well. It seems our new hire likes to indulge in royal politics." Celestia mocked as she walked up behind the doomed maid.
"And it looks like she enjoys cake just as much as much as you do, sister." Luna said as she inspected her prey.
"It would appear she does." Celestia prodded at the mare's soft flanks. "I don't suppose you'll be testing the edibility of our maid uniforms?"
"I'm quite ahead of you, Celestia." Just as Luna said that, the captive's uniform began to dissolve into thin air. Before the process was even done, the princess licked her lips and exposed her cavernous maw to the levitating unicorn. The maid grimaced as she saw the glistening strands of saliva stretch from the roof of her mouth down to her tongue. She tried to pull away, but the Royal's magic was simply too much. And without much effort, the mare was plunged head first into Luna's maw. She had little time, however, to appreciate the softness of Luna's tongue against her face. As her entire head quickly passed down the throat, she quickly found herself staring down the esophagus. Her breathing became more shallow as the space tightened with every swallow. A faint light was present inside of the monarch's throat, enabling the mare to enjoy a detailed view of Luna's hot insides. With another swift shove, most of the maid's body was now sitting inside Luna's neck. Her muzzle was now pressing against the sphincter leading to the stomach. But even that soon gave way with one final swallow. Her hind legs soon slid past Luna's jaws. And the momentum of the last gulp was enough to force her entire body into the tightly compacted stomach. The tightness of the space forced her to curl up into a ball. Just as she settled in, she felt the hot space constrict even tighter. This accompanied by a great burp that could be heard even from the inside. The entire process happened so quickly that only now was the maid comprehending the gravity of the situation. She tried pushing a hoof against the stomach walls. Yet the soft surface simply did not give way. The only thing she could hear now was Luna's heartbeat, as well as the occasional gurgle from the intestines. But she was sure she could hear the sisters laughing to themselves one last time before her sense began to fade.
