Chapter One: An Unexpected Celebration

View Online

The Crystal Empire may have been a massive metropolis of a city, which served as an oasis among the treacherous Frozen North of Equestria; but much like the smaller hamlets that resided across the nation’s less snowy regions, the city had gotten completely still late in the night. Aside from a couple lights here and there, as well as the Crystal Guards standing outside the castle on patrol, there weren’t any ponies wandering the streets by the time midnight approached. In fact, even the Crystal Castle looked to be completely shut down for the night, save for the highest window near the top of one of its towers. Of course, considering how that was the living quarters of the Empire’s dedicated co-rulers, nopony paid any heed to what may have been happening that late in the night.

“AAAHHHHH!!~ OHHHHHH, YES!!! YES, SOMBRA, YES!!!~”

Since the castle’s private living quarters were completely soundproofed, and the bedroom window was made of one-way stain-glass, Princess Cadance didn’t show any hesitance while exclaiming her lover’s name in unbridled pleasure. The Alicorn was gripping the headboard tightly with both hooves, while her hind-legs struggled to remain standing atop the mattress. However, even while standing upright, the Princess’ pregnant barrel was hanging down low enough to nearly touch the satin sheets with every rhythmic motion she made. Meanwhile, the dark grey stallion behind her was standing bipedally, and gripping Cadance’s flanks dominantly with his hooves.

“NNNFFFFF!!!~” Despite being the Crystal Empire’s most treacherous ex-ruler, Sombra was reeling in perverted delight while mounting the Princess like a stud. Sweat was beading all over his well-toned form, which helped to emphasize his bulging muscles each time he thrusted deeply inside the mare. Even though his standing position was a little awkward, the “reformed” ex-villain was pounding into Cadance’s pussy like it was second nature to him. Although, considering how many times he had the pleasure of claiming Princess Cadance for himself (as well as her womb earlier that year), it was likely that Sombra really did see it as second nature. “Nnnnnghhhhh… My goodness, you’re getting fucking tight~”

SMACK!!

“OOH!!~” Cadance’s eyes widened as she reeled her head back with a gasp, not expecting for her former foe to callously smack her ass while rutting her from behind. Of course, despite the slight red imprint of his hoof appearing across her cheek, Cadance merely moaned out while trying to ram her backside against him repeatedly. Even while late into her pregnancy, the Princess wasn’t stoic enough to keep from wanting more of Sombra’s cock with every thrust he gave. “AAAHHHH!!~” After another boisterous yelp, Cadance thoughtlessly shrieked out, “S-SPANK ME AGAIN!!”

SMACK!!

“AAAAHHHHH!!”

SMACK!!

“NNNGHHH!! YES, KEEP GOING!!~”

SMACK!! SMACK!! SMACK!!!

By the time Sombra finished his one-hooved assault on the Princess’ rump, her right cheek had grown an obscene shade of red while jiggling between their thrusts. Even though it was doubtful those marks would stay by morning, Sombra had to control himself given their situation. But even when he pulled his hoof away, and continued to rut Cadance’s tight pussy with the veracity of a jackhammer, he couldn’t help turning his head to shoot his Guard a shit-eating grin. “Hmph~ How does that look on your end, Private?~”

“Nnnnnghhhh…” Shining Armor, who was trying to stand as still as possible as ‘Guard’ for the two, was carrying an extremely heavy blush beneath his dingy armor. Despite being the co-ruler of the Crystal Empire, and the highest-ranked stallion in Equestria, he looked unbelievably pathetic as he watched Sombra fucking his “faithful” wife. If he wasn’t wearing a chastity cage underneath his Private-grade armor, he likely would’ve been interrupting the two with the repeated thuds of his erection slapping the inner plating. But even as he struggled to stay statuesque, he was squirming effectively enough to make his armor creak between heated groans. “Nnnnfffff… It… I-It looks like she’s… e-enjoying it greatly, my Prince…”

Even after spending months under Sombra and Cadance’s twisted bedroom antics, Shining still had to keep himself from grimacing at calling his former enemy such a title. Unfortunately, since the Ex-King had effectively cucked Shining enough to not only impregnate Cadance, but to make the two “divorce” off-paper to remove any limits, it wasn’t like the real Prince was showing much confidence as a leader himself. Instead of the tenacious, determined Prince that all of Equestria knew him to be, Shining Armor was left standing as a total cuckold under Sombra’s dominance.

SMACK!!

“AIEEEE!!!~” That last spank was intense enough to make Cadance pull her head back like she was undergoing an exorcism. And since her upraised muzzle was wipe-open and moaning in pleasure, Sombra didn’t hesitate to lean in and plant his lips against hers. He thrusted his hips in powerfully, eliciting a muffled moan while Cadance closed her eyes blissfully. Even as she shivered from the sheer force of Sombra’s cock plunging into her deepest depths, she was quick to return the kiss to Sombra without a shred of remorse.

During the couple’s brief pause, Shining Armor blushed deeply and tried to avert his eyes. Even though he was throbbing hard inside of his chastity cage, the sight of his former spouse openly making out with Sombra made him squirm a little in his armor. Of course, since the couple were able to hear the metallic creaks of his plating, Sombra was the first to pull his lips away from Cadance’s to leer back at Shining. “I think you’re right, Private,” he said with a lecherous grin, greatly emphasizing the rank he had demoted Shining to earlier that year. “My wife seems to be enjoying herself greatly with me~”

Sombra knew that his statement sounded a little tactless without context, but the sight of Shining wincing in response was more than enough to make him grin in satisfaction. Even though he wasn’t ruling the Crystal Empire himself, Sombra had clearly taken enough control to make the “Prince” his personal bitch. Outside of the bedroom doors, Sombra was merely known as the former Tyrant of the Crystal Empire, and had to be put under constant surveillance due to the atrocities he had committed under his rule. But as of now, with the pregnant Princess shuddering needily around the girth of his cock, Sombra felt just as powerful before Shining as he had when he completely enslaved the Crystal Empire.

“Ahhh!!~” Even with Sombra’s thick cock throbbing deep inside of her, Cadance moaned out weakly to try and catch her husband’s attention. “S-Sombra, please!” she wailed out in heated need. “K-Keep going, I was so close!”

“You mean like this?~” With that last emphasized word, Sombra brought his confident grin back down at Cadance before pulling out. The Prince was shuddering to himself as he purposely slid his length back as slowly as possible, making sure that Shining saw the thick sheen of Cadance’s arousal coating his shaft. Of course, by the time his flaring head was about to slip out from her clenching lips, Sombra kept himself penetrated while his Private got a proper look at his stallionhood. Shining whimpered in a mixture of arousal and envy, and had to bite his lip to keep from groaning out loud. But less than a second after pulling back, Sombra granted his wife’s lustful plea as he rammed his cock back in with a single thrust. “NNNNGHHH!!!~”

“AAAAHHHHH!!!~” Cadance let out another rapturous cry, gripping the headboard as tightly as she could to handle Sombra’s size. Shining may have been above-average when it came to his length, but that didn’t mean too much while locked away in that tiny chastity cage; and since Cadance broke the key to that cage months ago, she was clearly savoring the girth of the only usable cock in the room. Even as she kept her hind-legs spread as wide apart as she could while standing, her knees were visibly buckling as she tried to grip his shaft with her dripping lips. “Nnnnfffffff!!~”

“Aaaaahhhh!!” Sombra pulled back just as quickly as he thrusted in, and resumed their passionate fucking by pounding that pussy as mercilessly as possible. Cadance may have been pregnant, but the father of her foal showed no remorse as he rutted her intensely. Cadance’s ass was rapidly smacking against her new husband’s hips, while rivulets of her arousal could be seen trickling down the insides of her wobbling legs. Meanwhile, the Prince’s plump, low-hanging balls were lewdly smacking against Cadance’s clit, which helped to sink her even deeper into depraved pleasure.

“S-SOMBRA!!” she moaned out blissfully, shrieking the ex-villain’s name like she had used to for Shining just over a year prior. Her eyes were as tightly clenched as her pussy, which was clinging to Sombra’s shaft in dire need of his load. Sombra was panting like a rabid dog, and his hooves clasped the Princess’ flanks tighter than before. And all the while, Shining Armor was left reeling from the sidelines as he heard Cadance moaning out, “Sombra, I… I’m about to… I’M ABOUT TO--”

POOF!!!

In a sudden explosion of pink and blue smoke, all three ponies in the room were taken aback when a mysterious presence made themself known in their bedroom. Just as the couple were about to reach their climactic peaks, a familiar draconequus appeared out of nowhere to hover over the bed. “SURPRIIIIIISSSSEEEEE!!!~”

“GAAAAHHHH!!!”

Since Sombra was balls-deep inside of the Princess, he nearly pulled Cadance off the bed when he jolted back in a panic. The Alicorn was yanked back from the headboard, but was thankfully able to stay on the bed after Sombra pulled out with a wet pop. As the ex-King fell to the floor with a mortified look on his face, Cadance was left completely frozen like a deer in the headlights. But even as the Princess stood alone on her bed, her pussy still trying to wink while sporting an impressive gape from Sombra’s member, her former husband was left too stunned to do anything in response. Instead, Shining Armor looked just as baffled as the couple, and was gawking up at their intruder with his jaw agape. “D-D-DISCORD!?!”

Ever since the three ponies started their twisted relationship, the only other pony who was aware of their antics had been Princess Twilight Sparkle. But much to the three’s dismay, it seemed that Discord just caught the three red-hoofed. But instead of doing anything to further terrify or guilt them, Discord just remained floating in the air while dancing to himself; and as he made a weird flossing motion of his hips in tandem with his arms, the draconequus sang jauntily, “Happy Anniversary! Happy Anniversary! Happy Anniversary, Soooooombra and Cad--”

“GET THE FUCK OUT!!!”

The Princess’ roaring voice, not to mention her expletive, were jarring enough to instantly make Discord stop dancing. In fact, the draconequus even jolted back in shock before he could finish his celebratory tune. When he looked back down at the Princess, she was seething in absolute rage and glaring at him with gritted teeth. She may have been lost in near-orgasmic pleasure just a minute ago, but she was able to light up her horn to a scarily bright degree to emphasize her order. “NOW!!!”

“Okay, okay!!” Discord instantly threw his claw and paw out with insistence, and floated away from Cadance with a worried look on his face. “If you want me to leave, I’ll leave, alright?!”

Despite how intimidating Cadance looked, with both Shining and Sombra staring at her with shared looks of fear, Discord couldn’t help scoffing with a disappointed stare back at her. “Jeeze, and I was just trying to do something nice for you three.”

Before Cadance could eviscerate him with her magic, Discord sighed disheartedly and snapped his avian claw. A small chocolate cake emerged out of thin air, which plopped down on the bed before he disappeared with a plume of smoke. Just as quickly as he appeared, Discord vanished from the bedroom after his cock-blocking celebration. Meanwhile, all three ponies were left completely shell-shocked, unable to fathom what had just occurred during their “private” time.

“Wh… W-What the…” Shining looked rightfully terrified as he stared down at his hooves wide-eyed, realizing that his sister was no longer the only one who knew about him being a cuck. But instead of reeling from the possible repercussions of Discord’s knowledge, Shining instantly rushed to the bed to check on Cadance. “Honey, are you alright?”

“Am I alright?! AM I ALRIGHT?!” Cadance still looked ungodly pissed when she turned her sights back to her former husband. But even with the enraged sneer still plastered across her muzzle, her breaths became increasingly rapid while holding a hoof against her chest. “Oh Goddess… Oh Goddess, was he actually here?!”

“Huh…” Unlike Shining and Cadance, Sombra was the only one who stared up at the ceiling with a peculiar expression. “That’s weird. I was just pondering the other day whether or not Discord knew about us.”

“WELL, GOOD FOR YOU!” roared Cadance, causing Sombra to jolt back from her worriedly. The Princess pointed a hoof at herself and Shining when she added, “Sombra, do you have ANY idea what he can do to us?! He KNOWS, Sombra! He bucking saw what we were doing!”

Even though Cadance was looking increasingly frantic, Sombra responded with a cavalier shrug of his shoulders. “So what? Do you really think anypony will believe him?”

If looks could kill, Cadance’s furious glare would’ve left Sombra splattered across the bedroom walls. Meanwhile, Shining Armor was staring down at the cake that Discord left on their bed. It was a simple little layered cake, which looked to have been homemade with a thick and uneven coating of chocolate icing. On top of the dessert, Discord had sloppily written with pink frosting, ‘Happy Anniversary Sombra & Cadance!’

“Uhhhh… g-guys?” Sombra and Cadance turned their attention back to Shining, and then to the cake he was pointing at. Shining’s hoof began to tremble as he stared at the cake wide-eyed, his pupils shrinking with a look of mortified realization. “He… H-He…”

Before Shining could finish his statement, Sombra walked up to get a closer look at the cake. Cadance sat down on the mattress, unable to keep standing for too long after that brutal rutting. Sombra looked around before swiping a dollop of the cake’s frosting with a hoof, and giving it a test-taste. The Prince’s face instantly lit up, and he looked back at Cadance with a smile. “Ooh, it’s dark chocolate! My favorite~”

Cadance groaned with a very unimpressed scoff, and turned away from Sombra while scowling. Shining was still looking at the inscription on top of the cake when he tried to speak. “He… He actually knew… H-He knew the whole time…”

“Wait, what?!” Cadance turned back to Shining with a confounded look. “What do you mean he knew the whole time?!”

“B-Because it technically IS your guys’ anniversary!”

Shining was panting heavily, and blinked a few times while trying to process what’s going on. He glanced over at the grandfather clock, which indicated that it was just a couple minutes past midnight. The Private shuddered with a more terrified look, before turning back to Cadance and saying, “It… It’s been exactly one year since we… S-Since we…”

It took Cadance a moment to realize what Shining was referring to, but she quickly grew wide-eyed herself. She gasped with a hoof over her mouth, while her husband was left standing with a more puzzled look. “Ummmm…” Sombra didn’t want to ask for further details, but he felt compelled to ask after licking his hoof clean. “But wait, it’s not our anniversary yet. That’s in a couple of months, isn’t it?”

“N-No, no…” Cadance slowly looked back at Sombra, and gulped worriedly before saying, “H-He’s not talking about our marriage anniversary, Sombra. He… He’s talking about when we first… invited you up here…”

Sombra looked down to his hooves for a moment in thought, but he soon grew just as wide-eyed as the two Royals before him. Even though his intrusion into Shining and Cadance’s lives was one of the most significant changes to his current life, Sombra blushed when he realized he lost track of how long the three had been in this twisted triad of a relationship. Part of him wanted to ask if Shining was right about his assessment, just in case he was off by a day or so; but judging by how horrified both he and Cadance were looking, Sombra could tell that they both knew the truth well enough.

“Oh, Goddess…” Cadance pulled away from the cake resting on the bed, and clutched her pregnant belly with both hooves out of worry. “Oh Goddess, he knew the whole time?! THE WHOLE TIME?!?”

“N-Now, wait a minute!” Shining tried to catch her attention, despite how frantic he was looking himself out of fear. “That doesn’t mean anything, Cadance! I mean… M-Maybe Discord won’t say anything!”

“I hate to side with a Private, but I have to agree with Shining on this one.” Sombra was busy cutting himself a slice of cake, using the thin handle of a riding crop that was left on the floor. While Cadance and Shining stared back at him in shock, the Prince paid no notice to their expressions as he spoke. “I mean… If he went to this length to congratulate us, and even came in at the stroke of midnight to emphasize his awareness, it seems that he at least respects what we’re doing…”

Since Discord didn’t leave any plates, Sombra placed his slice of chocolate cake on the blunt end of a wooden paddle as a replacement. And as he carefully balanced the cake atop the uneven surface, he looked back at the two to add, “Not to mention, if he was actually planning to out us, I feel like he would’ve done it already, right?”

Cadance pointed a hoof at Sombra sternly, but nothing came out of her open muzzle. After spending a couple seconds silent in contemplation, the Princess ended up looking away from her husband with a blush. Meanwhile, Shining was humming to himself while tapping his chin in thought. “Hmmmm… That’s a fair point.”

“Thank you!” said Sombra gratefully towards his bitch. He then looked back at Cadance before asking, “Honestly, do you really think he would do anything that stupid? I know you two have your reasons for distrusting him, but I doubt he would actually put you guys in legitimate danger. Well… at least not again...”

Sombra looked like he wanted to say more in assurance, but he ended up looking away from both of them while struggling not to wince. Shining and Cadance took notice of the Prince’s response, but neither of them tried to ask what got him looking so conflicted. After all, considering how Discord indirectly assisted in Sombra’s previous invasion of the Crystal Empire, it wouldn’t take a genius to figure out why all of them were looking uncomfortable. But instead of dwelling over his previous mistakes, Sombra was the first to clear his head with a quick huff. “Listen, I… I know that this might be hard to fathom, but…”

Sombra slowly glanced back at the two, revealing a more hesitant look on his face. “Do you guys think that maybe… Discord can be someone we can trust with this?”

With the way Cadance’s head reeled back from her husband, it would’ve been assumed that Sombra just slapped her across the face instead of her ass. Shining didn’t say anything when he looked back at her, and even shrugged his shoulders in understanding. However, unlike the Princess, Shining was able to give a response to Sombra’s point. “Well, I mean… The last time Discord was involved in something including all three of us--”

“I know! I know!” Sombra was quick to cut off Shining’s statement before he could reopen any old wounds. “Yes, I’m fully aware of the awkwardness here! And believe me, I feel just as uncomfortable about trusting him again.”

That comment caused Cadance to gawk at him in disgust. “What do you mean YOU trusting him again?! He didn’t enslave you!”

“No, but he posed as Grogar to trick me! And he’s the reason I have THIS on my head!” Sombra pointed up to the carbon-fiber prosthetic that was standing in place of his original horn, which had been destroyed alongside his dark magic after his final battle with the Mane Six. But instead of emphasizing his own woes, Sombra was quick to take a breath and tell Cadance, “But… that’s not the point right now. What I’m trying to say is that Discord has been turning a new leaf, hasn’t he? Maybe this cake is his way of showing that sincerity.”

Cadance didn’t look convinced, but she could only look away from Sombra with a weak huff. While the Prince went to take a bite of Discord’s cake, Shining tried to reassure the Princess himself. “Honestly, honey… Considering how things have been going between us and Sombra, it… it might be kinda hypocritical to dismiss Discord, you know?”

Cadance looked like she wanted to give a retort, but she merely sighed with her eyes closed. “Ugh… Yeah, I know…”

“Mmmm!” Sombra was using his hoof to hold onto the slice, and took a big enough bite for his smile to widen immensely. “And the cake is really good too! I mean, not as good as that pink friend of your sister’s, but still…”

Before either of the Royals could give a response, an offended gasp caught all three of the ponies off-guard. A large zipper materialized out of nowhere, and the tab zipped down to reveal Discord emerging from the void. The draconequus snatched the rest of Sombra’s slice, as well as the rest of the cake, before slipping back through the opening. “Hmph! So much for trying out my baking skills!”

Discord zipped himself back up, before the zipper itself disappeared from existence. Sombra was left completely disheartened while staring at his empty hoof, his muzzle even trembling a little. Meanwhile, Shining took that moment to say back to Cadance, “Well… it’s obvious he’s listening in, so does it really matter anymore? I mean, as long as he’s keeping it a secret, we might as well give him a chance.”

Despite knowing the Private was right, Cadance sighed painfully with her eyes closed. “I know, it’s just… It’s not exactly easy for me to look past certain things…”

Shining and Sombra glanced back at each other, sharing the same look of concern on their faces. However, Cadance quickly exhaled before adding, “But… That’s doesn’t mean I can’t try to trust him again…”

Cadance was blushing a little when she looked back at Sombra with a weak smile. “Heh~ Honestly, Shining’s not wrong…” She kept a hoof over her stomach as she added, “I mean, if I’m willing to let you knock me up, I’d probably be a hypocrite for not giving Discord a second chance.”

Even though that topic was something none of them would ever address outside the bedroom, all three of them shared a good laugh following her truthful remark. Shining crawled up onto the bed, and kissed Cadance on the cheek with a relieved smile. Sombra tossed aside his paddle with a huff, before crawling into the bed to outdo the Private. He used his hoof to push Shining back, before going in to give a deep kiss to the Princess directly on the lips. “Nnnnnnn...”

Cadance was left wide-eyed for a moment, but didn’t even glance back at Shining before allowing herself to accept Sombra’s kiss. Her eyes were quick to close blissfully shut, and she leaned in while humming contentedly. Shining bit his lip as he sat right beside the two, but didn’t try to intervene as they kissed one another; instead, the Private sheepishly looked away while blushing heavily beneath his helmet.

“Jeeze, even now you’re not trying to stop them?~”

“GAH!!”

The three jolted back from the presence of Discord’s voice, which was now coming from directly behind them. They turned to discover an imprint of the draconequus’ face sticking up from one of Sombra’s pillows. Even though it was nothing more than morphed satin fabric, Discord’s smirk was still obvious while eyeing Shining Armor cheekily. “Heh~ You really are a cuckold, you know that? You could’ve easily kissed her and gotten away with it.”

Discord openly snickered when he saw how quickly Shining turned away from the pillow with a deepening blush. However, the draconequus turned his focus back to the other two ponies staring down at him. “But let’s not get too off-track here. Since it’s late, I’ll make things one hundred percent clear. Yes, I knew about you three the whole time. And no, I don’t plan on telling anypony about it. I might be controversial, but I’m not an asshole.”

Despite Discord’s blunt wording, his genuine tone prompted Shining and Cadance to share a sigh in relief. However, one of the other pillows began to morph out as well, as the draconequus’ avian claw emerged from one of the other cases. “In fact…”

With a snap of his talons, Discord reemerged in his regular form as he sprawled across the bed. His grin grew wickedly wide, and he shot a sly-looking gaze at the three with narrowing eyes. “... If you’re willing to trust me on something big,” he purred with a lick of his lips, “I have a feeling I can provide you three with something very special for your anniversary~”

Chapter Two: Discord's Special Gift

Even though it was rather late, none of the three ponies were too tired to hear Discord out. So after a quick cleanup (which the draconequus was respectful enough to leave the room for), Shining, Sombra, and Cadance all sat together on the Private’s personal couch. Since none of them were able to finish their earlier fun, the couple were both squirming in discomfort with matching blushes. Meanwhile, Shining mostly looked the same as before after getting out of his Private armor.

POOF!

As soon as the three were settled in their seats, Discord suddenly reappeared in the loveseat across from them. Instead of any goofy dances or costumes, the draconequus was seated properly with his mismatched “hands” resting on his lap. He nodded cordially to the three ponies as he said, “Well, first of all, I want to thank all three of you for agreeing to speak with me on such short notice. Given how late it’s gotten, I understand how taxing this might be.”

Cadance bit her lip worriedly, but nodded back at Discord with a thankful smile of her own. Meanwhile, Shining couldn’t help shrugging his shoulders before pointing out, “Well, uhhh… to be fair, being interrupted in the middle of sex is kinda taxing as well.”

“Pbbt!” Discord instantly scoffed with a strong eyeroll. “Do you really think you should be the one bringing up that detail? It’s not like you’re getting much action yourself. Especially with that little cage between your legs~”

Shining cringed with a heavy blush, and gasped the moment he saw where Discord was pointing his lion’s paw. Due to his seated stance, the Private didn’t realize his legs were spread apart and exposing his tiny pink chastity cage. As the stallion tried to cross his legs and look away from Discord in embarrassment, Sombra could be heard snickering with a devilish grin. Meanwhile, the draconequus made sure to point back at Cadance and add, “Oh, and by the way, I absolutely loved that key-breaking scene during your pregnancy ceremony. That was very creative~’

Even though receiving an ex-villain’s praise for something so sadistic shouldn’t have made her smile, Cadance blushed a little as she giggled to herself bashfully. “Hehehehe… W-Well, I mean… It’s not like the cage couldn’t be removed in an emergency or something. It was mostly symbolic.”

“Symbolic for what?” asked Discord with a more snide-looking smirk. “For the fact that you’d rather lock up his penis than having anything to do with it?~”

Cadance’s blush deepened, but she squirmed as she looked away from him with a more uncomfortable wince. Shining groaned a little himself, needing to readjust himself in his seat to counteract the pressure in his cage. Since Sombra was seated in between the two, he was looking pleased as punch while smiling to himself pridefully. “I like that interpretation very much, Mister Discord~”

Cadance shot a warning glare over at her husband, causing him to drop his grin and hunch his head down a little. Shining leaned over to look back at Cadance, and mouthed a quick “Thank you” for her to see. As the Princess nodded back at him, Discord tried to bring things back on track. “Anyway, let’s get back to the topic at hand. For starters, let me be the first to congratulate you three for keeping all of… this going for this long. Considering how extreme you guys are taking things, it’s honestly a surprise that nothing terrible has happened yet.”

The three ponies looked back at him with varying looks of awkwardness and unease. Even though they were grateful that Discord was respectful of their choices, it was obvious from his wording that he wasn’t expecting their fun to have lasted for so long. Fortunately, Cadance was the first to speak up in response. “Well, thank you for the kind words, Discord.” Her head tilted the slightest bit as she nodded back at him, almost as if she was trying not to shrug in surprise herself. “To be fair, the three of us have a good sense of communication and respect when it comes to what we could do. All of us are aware how… controversial this all is, so…”

With the Princess’ awkward pause, Discord narrowed his eyes on her while remaining silent. Meanwhile, Sombra made sure to point out with a raised hoof, “Not to mention, it’s not like I have any intentions of reclaiming the Crystal Empire or anything. Seriously, the sense of power I’m getting from these two is far more satisfying than trying to handle politics. Plus, I’d rather not get my ass kicked by a pack of fillies and a baby dragon a third time.”

“Well, that’s very comforting to hear,” pointed out Discord, who was smiling more naturally after hearing that detail. “Honestly, the fact that you have that level of self-awareness is proof enough that you’re not meant to be a politician.”

All three of the ponies shared a proper laugh from that little joke. Meanwhile, Discord looked back towards you, the person reading this story, and added apologetically, “Don’t worry, that’s the only topical joke I’ll be telling in this story.”

“Huh?” Shining narrowed his eyes on Discord in confusion. “Uhhhh… who are you talking to?”

“Oh, nobody.” Discord quickly turned his attention back to the three ponies with a wave of his claw. “Sorry about that. I was just reflecting on how… impressive it is that you guys are handling this kind of relationship so well! I have a feeling that most regular cuckold relationships would find all this to be a bit much~”

Shining and Cadance both winced at the same time, their averting eyes indicating that they understood that point very well. “Well,” said Sombra with a shrug, “most regular couples wouldn’t have the money and resources to make something this big work. Plus, we tend to keep everything we do strictly private.”

“Yes, that’s very true…” After nodding in agreement to Sombra’s statement, Discord leaned in while shooting a more mischievous grin on the three. “But considering how it’s technically your anniversary… What would you say if I offered you three the chance to go out in public, without facing any negative repercussions whatsoever?~”

The ponies all reeled back in shock, their eyes as wide as dinner plates as they gawked back at the smirking draconequus. After a few seconds of stunned silence Shining was the first to raise a hoof and try to speak with caution. “Uhhhh… exactly what do you mean by that?”

“What do you think I mean?~” Discord pulled himself up from his chair, allowing him to stand over the three with a more excited grin. “Just think about it! Lots of cuckolding couples tend to bring their antics out into public at least once in a while, right? All I want to do is give you guys the chance to experience that yourselves~”

Shining’s blush deepened immensely, but the expression beneath showed a look of looming fear and unease. Unfortunately, Discord took more notice of the Private’s squirming legs, which tried to conceal what had to be a strong throb from inside his chastity cage. Meanwhile, Sombra and Cadance glanced back at each other wide-eyed, clearly taken aback by such a bold idea. “Wait, you…” Sombra looked back at Discord in awe, and had to take a couple breaths to keep from getting too antsy. “... a-are you actually serious right now?~”

“As serious as a heart attack~” Discord’s grin grew to an obscenely wide degree, with his singular fang peeking out like the ones from Sombra’s elated smile. “Just imagine… With my help, you could openly make out with Cadance in public, with the Crystal Ponies all able to see, and nopony would even care~ You can even humiliate Shining out in the open as a pathetic cuck, and have everyone laughing at him alongside you…”

Shining shuddered with a more fearful look on his face, but couldn’t stop squirming with his muzzle tightly shut. Meanwhile, Sombra was staring up at Discord with his mouth wide-open, and his eyes nearly bulging out from excitement. Cadance was equally as silent as her former husband, but her heavy blush was accompanied by an audible gulp.

“Heck,” continued Discord with a playful shrug, “you two can even express your affection for one-another, while also pointing out how he’s the husband allowing everything to happen! And at the end of the day, you three can all come back here, and resume your daily routines like nothing ever happened. How does that sound?~”

Sombra didn’t say anything, but his overwhelmed expression made him look like a fat kid who was just left alone in a candy shop. And when he turned over to stare down his Private, Shining shivered in dread from the hunger he saw in Sombra’s piercing red eyes. “That sounds absolutely delightful~”

“I… I agree…”

The two stallions, as well as Discord, all turned over to the source of that timid voice. Princess Cadance tried not to look back at the shocked stares Shining and Sombra were giving her, and kept her muzzle pointed to her pregnant belly. However, even as she rubbed her belly bulge with both hooves, she couldn’t help shrugging while blushing through her bashful smile. “W-What?” she asked the stallions in embarrassment. “I’m into this stuff just as much as you two. A-And, I… I’ve always fantasized about doing something like that…”

Shining’s face dropped, his pupils shrinking from the realization of such a thing. Even though he knew that Cadance had a knack for pushing their limits in public (most notably at the Canterlot garden social when she performed that passionate tango with Sombra), he would’ve never expected her to want something as bold as what Discord was suggesting. But then again, given their high rankings as Equestrian Nobility, it wasn’t like the three could do certain things that most commoner cuckold couples could get away with. Especially with a former enemy who could land them in every national headline page if he even looked at her inappropriately in public.

“Well, I’m very happy to tell you I can give you that opportunity, your Highness~” Even with his sinister-looking smirk, Discord made sure to stand upright and raise his lion’s paw in sincerity. “And I can promise you with every fiber of my being, that it’ll all be one-hundred percent safe and fool-proof. I’ll even agree to erase anypony’s memories if you three get caught or exposed. Of course, I highly doubt that can happen with what I have planned~”

Despite his vague wording, Discord’s confident tone prompted the three to look at one another for silent approval. Cadance may have looked a little hesitant, but she was still smiling while rubbing her belly. Sombra was obviously down for whatever the former foe had planned, and was grinning from ear-to-ear as he peered back at his Private. Shining winced with his muzzle hung low, feeling a bit overwhelmed when he saw everyone looking over at him; but even with how sheepish he looked beneath his blush, he was able to give his answer with a timid shrug, “W-Well, ummm… What exactly were you planning to do?”

“I’m very glad you asked~” Discord was grinning evilly as he stared down Sombra first, and pointed at him with his claw. “Sombra? Would be so kind as to stand up for this demonstration?”

“Hmph~” The stallion instantly got up from the couch, and strutted up to the draconequus with unbridled confidence. “Hopefully this deal is better than the last one I made with you.”

“Well, considering where you are now,” Discord said with a motion of his head back at Cadance, “I don’t think you have much room to complain, do you?”

Before Sombra could even give a “touchè” in response, Discord added, “But I’m glad you brought up that ‘Grogar’ incident, since that same kind of magic was what I was considering for you guys.”

In less than a second, the draconequus stepped back before morphing himself into the very goat-like figure Sombra had met before. All three ponies yelped as they reeled back in shock, not expecting to see the mimic of Grogar in the flesh. As the massive blue being stood over them at nearly thrice their size, he huffed through his nostrils with a satisfied smirk. “See?” asked the Grogar-copy with a much deeper voice. “If I were to walk out like this, nopony would think I was Discord, would they?”

Despite the draconequus’ truthful point, Sombra couldn’t help saying with a skewed muzzle. “Well, I mean… most of Equestria already knows what you did, so they might assume it’s you instead of the real Grogar.”

“Hmmm… Good point.” With that, Discord gave a snap of his goat’s hoof before he quickly reverted back to his regular form. The process took less than a couple seconds, and he was back on his mismatched legs when he said, “But you guys see what I mean, right? If I’m able to shape-shift that well for myself, imagine what I could do for all of you~”

Cadance and Shining turned to each other for a moment, sharing the same look of stunned realization on their faces. Of course, their attention was brought back to Discord when they heard Sombra shout out, “H-HEY! Put me down right now!”

When they glanced back at the two, Shining and Cadance gasped when they saw Sombra floating off the ground with an aura of invisible magic. The stallion tried to thrash in midair, his legs flailing about wildly. But as Discord kept him floating with a raised talon, he pointed at Sombra with his paw and said, “Oh, don’t be such a drama queen. It’s only a quick demonstration~”

He then grinned as he waved his paw in Sombra’s direction, and commenced the transformation magic without hesitation. With a singular poof of the draconequus’ magic, Sombra soon found himself landing back on his hooves. He heard his wife and Private gasp even louder in response, which prompted him to glance back at the two confusedly. “What? What’s the big--MMPHH!!”

Sombra clutched his muzzle with both hooves, not expecting for a voice much younger-sounding to come out instead of his deep regal tone. However, as soon as he felt the lack of fangs peeking out his muzzle, the stallion jolted back with his fur sticking up across his back. That was when he looked down at his hooves, his eyes widening when he saw his fur was no longer the dark charcoal grey he was accustomed to; instead, both of his muscular forelegs carried a light tan coat, with symmetrical lines of thick black tattoo markings crawling up towards his shoulders.

“W-WHAT THE?!” As soon as Sombra turned around to face Discord, the draconequus was already holding up a large mirror so the stallion could see himself. Sombra gasped with his eyes as wide as frisbees, not recognizing the pony in his reflection at all. Through the mirror, Sombra saw what looked to be a very fit, well-toned Earth pony. The tribal tattoos on his forelegs spread out to cover his chest as well, emphasizing the bulging muscles that adorned his youthful physique. Even though he was technically as old as Celestia, Sombra’s new form made him look like he was in his mid-twenties. The only feature that Sombra felt was somewhat familiar was his mane, which was still the same rich black he was used to; however, his new manestyle was much longer, and was tied up near the back in what he knew was called a ‘Man-Bun’.

Sombra glanced back at the cutie mark on his new flanks, which showed what looked to be a gryphon’s claw holding up a black barbell. The claw was bright yellow, while the weights at the ends carried a rich shade of red like crystal.

“Hmmm…” When Sombra finally looked back at his reflection, he couldn’t help smirking when he examined the stallion’s attractive appearance. “So… This is how I would look outside?” Sombra’s smile widened when he looked at his ripped forelegs, and ran a hoof along the tattoos to feel the distinct bumps and creases against his fur. “I gotta say, you have excellent taste, Mister Discord~”

Back on the couch, Shining was staring at his Superior with an extremely heavy blush, clearly intimidated by how attractive Discord made him. Sombra almost looked like a model in his new form, and could most-likely bring a different mare home without problem every night. Even Cadance was blushing in surprise, and had to fan her face with a hoof as she said, “You can say that again~”

“Hmmm, wait a minute…” Sombra leaned in to get a closer look at his face, and huffed in disappointment at his bare forehead. “While I do appreciate this new look, would it have been too much to ask for a working horn as well?”

Discord scoffed a little as he peered down at Sombra from behind the mirror. “Why, because your current one was so useful?”

Sombra gawked up at him with a dropped jaw, looking extremely offended by Discord’s remark. “Woooowwwww. Do you make fun of ponies in wheelchairs too?”

“Oh, don’t try to hold the ethical card, Mister Slave-Owner,” chided Discord. “Besides, wouldn’t it be more fulfilling to be able to cuck Shining in public without the aid of magic?”

Sombra paused briefly enough to contemplate that point, and eventually shrugged with a less upset expression. “Hmmm… Alright, fair enough.”

After taking another look at himself, Sombra grew a more dastardly grin before turning his attention back to Cadance. “So, what do you think, Honey?~”

Shining didn’t say anything, but his small shudder made it clear how weird it felt to have another stallion calling her by such a personal term. Even though he knew it was Sombra beneath that new form, he still felt like Cadance was being accosted by some new random stud. Of course, when he looked back at his former wife, Shining blushed when he saw how blatantly Cadance was smirking up at the new Sombra. “Honestly, I think you look like quite the specimen~”

Sombra reached a tattooed hoof out, and assisted in pulling Cadance up from the couch. He also shot Shining a firm stare and said, “You stay right there, you little bitch~”

“Ooh!~” Cadance was surprised enough to giggle with a giddy blush. “Wow, that’s upfront~”

Shining whimpered a little, but remained seated on the couch with his head hung low in embarrassment. Discord watched with an intrigued grin as he continued to hold up the mirror. Meanwhile, Sombra decided to take advantage of his new appearance as he looked at Shining for a moment, and then asked Cadance, “If you don’t mind the intrusion, your Highness… May I have the pleasure of kissing you in front of your personal Guard?~”

Cadance looked back at Shining with a knowing smirk of her own, and narrowed her eyes intensely as she gave her answer. “Oh, you don’t have to ask permission, big guy~”

Cadance shivered in delight, feeling like she was being taken by a completely new suitor. Sombra went in without warning, and planted his muzzle against her’s for a deep kiss. The Princess quickly moaned out, and wrapped her hooves around the back of his head. Even though they were being pervertedly ogled at by Discord, neither of them seemed to mind his presence while making out lewdly. Shining stayed seated on the couch, and had both hooves covering his crotch as he looked up at Cadance swapping spit with the more attractive stallion. The Princess made sure to look right back down at him with a cheeky grin, just as she stuck her tongue out and let it flick against Sombra’s teasingly.

“Oh, I do declare!~” Discord was now dressed as a Southern Belle, and was fanning his face with a handkerchief that matched his gaudy pink dress. “You two should save some of that fun for when you’re outside~”

Shining’s muzzle tensed up greatly, while Sombra gasped in elation. “OOH!” He looked back at Discord almost pleadingly, and asked, “Can I do that right now?! You said you can erase memories, right?”

“Sombra,” stated Cadance with a much firmer stare on him. “We’ve had several talks about safety, remember?”

“Right, right, right…” Sombra relented and gave his wife an apologetic nod. “Sorry, it was just a joke. You know I wouldn’t want you guys to get hurt.”

Cadance smiled thankfully, while Shining let out a silent breath in relief. Fortunately, Discord was able to clarify for both of them, “Don’t worry, I don’t plan to only have Sombra changed. This is for all three of you, remember?~”

Cadance and Shining stared back up at Discord, just as he snapped his claw to make his dress disappear. Sombra politely stepped back, which allowed his wife to have some free room to experience the change herself. But before he could start, Discord made sure to say insistently, “I assure you with all my heart, Princess. This transformation process will not harm your foal in any way. It’s purely a cosmetic change, and nothing more.”

Even though she still had her apprehensions, Cadance closed her eyes with a deep breath before nodding up at Discord. “Ummm… A-Alright then. If you’re that confident with your work, then… I accept.”

“Thank you.” Discord smiled warmly at the Princess, and then used his talon to lift her up with his magic. The Princess yelped a little, but tried not to thrash while levitating a couple feet off the floor. Meanwhile, Discord carefully swirled around his lion’s paw, and worked his magic to quickly alter Cadance’s overall appearance. Since she had her eyes tightly closed, not wanting to see her features all change in the blink of an eye, she wasn’t able to see the unified looks of shock Shining and Sombra had by the time she was lowered back to her hooves.

“Ahh, there we go!” Discord looked rather pleased as he smiled down at his creation, and brought her attention towards himself and the mirror. “Go ahead and see how you look as a Commoner for a change~”

“OHMIGOSH!!~”

Cadance’s jaw dropped, and a moment of silence passed as she stared at her alien reflection. Her eyes were now a stunning shade of blue instead of purple, but she still had a luscious coat of pink fur. Her slender figure remained untouched as well, with her pregnant belly fully exposed beneath her barrel; however, her Alicorn wings were no longer present at her sides. Instead of the Princess of the Crystal Empire, all that Cadance saw in the mirror was a blonde mare in her thirties with a model-like figure, who only vaguely looked like her old form for a split-second. When she looked back at her cutie mark, she gasped when she saw it was slightly reminiscent of her heart-shaped blue pendant; after Discord’s transformation, it was now a regular red heart with white wings sticking out from the sides, and a golden halo hovering on top.

“I hope you don’t mind me making your changes less drastic than Sombra’s,” noted Discord apologetically. “I figured it would be be more fun to look slightly familiar in front of the Crystal Ponies~”

Shining and Sombra had no complaints, and were both continuing to stare at Cadance’s new form. The Princess blushed deeply, but still smiled to herself as she stared at her reflection. Much to everyone’s surprise, Cadance huffed before admitting, “Honestly, I kinda look like a distant relative of myself! It’s kinda interesting…”

Since Cadance still had her horn, she lit it up with the same blue aura she had as Princess. She shot Sombra a coy smirk while pulling him in, causing his thick hooves to skid across the crystal floor. Shining’s brows flagged up when he saw the two newly-transformed ponies side-by-side, looking like a legit couple beside Discord’s mirror. And judging by Cadance’s piqued smile, she seemed to think the same thing as she gazed at their reflections. “Hmmm… This actually might work~”

“Exactly!” exclaimed Discord while perched above the mirror like a gargoyle. “With those disguise spells up, nopony will ever think you’re Cadance and Sombra. All they’ll see is a beautiful mare and her husband’s Bull~”

Both of them snickered devilishly from that last part, with Sombra pulling in the pregnant mare with his hoof. “Ooh, I like the sound of that~” His brows perked up while admiring himself in the mirror, looking rather dominant with such a beautiful mare by his side. “Nnfff~ And I gotta say, we look perfect together.”

“Mmmmm~” Cadance leaned in to nuzzle the side of Sombra’s neck, and narrowed her eyes on the mirror with a smile. “Yeah, we actually kinda do~”

“Nnnn…” Shining squirmed even harder in his seat, but tried not to groan too audibly while cupping his crotch. Even though the ponies before him looked like a completely different couple, he still felt rightfully intimidated by how much they were gushing over their appearances. And after seeing how pleased Cadance looked beside Sombra, Shining had to avert his eyes in order to keep his cock from throbbing so painfully inside his little cage.

“Oh, don’t think I forgot about you, Private~” Discord shot an especially sinister smile over at Shining, making sure that he caught the pony’s attention with that rank attached. But as Shining gawked up at the draconequus wide-eyed, Discord made sure to ask, “Oh, Sombra? Might I borrow your little bitch for the last transformation? I promise you it’ll be worth it~”

“Go right ahead~” Sombra may have not looked like the Prince he previously was, but he still exuded a dominating presence when he addressed his Private. “Shining! Get your butt over here this instant!”

“Nnnghhhh…” Shining was blushing hard as he pulled himself up from the couch, and kept his head hung low while walking past the happy couple. Sombra was grinning smugly in satisfaction, clearly loving how much control he still had over the Crystal Empire’s “Prince”. Cadance couldn’t help giggling at how pathetic her former husband looked, which only made Shining cringe more notably behind his blush. However, his attention was soon brought back to Discord while he peered down at him with a grin of his own.

“Let’s see how you look as a more proper cuckold~”

Unlike Cadance, Discord quickly lifted up Shining without warning, and waved about his paw to commence the transformation process. Sombra and Cadance remained beside one another as they watched from the side, intrigued by what the draconequus may have planned. Shining clenched his eyes while he was hovering in midair, not wanting to see himself until it was finished. Unfortunately, as soon as he landed back on the floor, he winced strongly when he heard Cadance and Sombra laughing at him.

“Oh my GOSH!~” Cadance had a hoof over her mouth while snickering, and she looked up at Discord to try and scold him. “Discord, that’s too much!”

“Oh, I strongly disagree!” Sombra was openly laughing with a hoof pointed at the new Shining, and shouted out, “Now that’s how a beta bitch should look!”

Shining whimpered to himself, and kept his eyes closed in worry of what he might see in the mirror. But after taking a deep breath, the stallion reopened his eyes to see the reflection pointed at him. “AAAHHH!!!”

Instead of the fit, attractive stallion that the Crystal Empire saw as their Prince, all that Shining Armor saw was a lanky blue pony with a rail-thin figure. His legs were slender and absent of any muscle, making him look like a scrawny weakling who’d get his ass kicked regularly in high school. He now had a pale blue coat, as well as a short white mane that was thinning at the top. The unicorn looked like he was in his forties, but the lines at the sides of his greyish-blue eyes made him look far older. And when he looked back at his new cutie mark, Shining gasped in horror when he saw a rusted shield on his flank.

“How do you guys like the mane?” asked Discord towards the two attractive ponies in the room. “I considered making him outright bald, but I figured it’d be more pathetic to give him a combover he would try to make look presentable~”

“Ughhhh…” Shining was already doing just that, as he was leaning in close to the mirror and desperately trying to straighten out the thin strands of white hair that just barely covered the maneless region atop his head. “Oh, this looks awful…”

“Thank you!” chirped Discord proudly. “I was wanting to ensure that Sombra looked undoubtedly better than you in every single way~”

Despite the cocky grin across Discord’s muzzle, Shining still looked up at him with a flat glare. Unfortunately, due to how he looked now, Shining just looked like a grumpy neighbor who was upset about having his house teepeed again. Sombra made sure to step in beside his Private, and stood pridefully as he looked at their reflections. “Oh, wow~” Sombra’s smile widened tremendously when he saw the vast contrast in their new appearances side-by-side. “You really do look more appropriate like this, Private~”

Shining hung his head with a measly wince, which looked far more pathetic in the mirror than it did previously. Even Cadance was giggling guiltily, although she tried to rectify that with a quick wave of her hoof. “Sorry, sorry… I don’t want to make fun, honey. But… But jeeze you look like a dork!”

“HA HA HA HA HA!” Sombra was laughing rather boisterously as he hugged Shining from the side, keeping him pinned to his side for the mirror. The muscular pony then grew a more sinister grin, and looked down at his bitch to say, “Ohhhh, you’re gonna get it now~”

Shining whimpered like a complete loser as he tried to look away from Sombra’s dominant grin. Luckily for the beta, Discord spoke up towards Sombra, “Well, let me just finish explaining things, and then I’ll leave you three to do as you wish~”

The three ponies all looked up at Discord, just as he dropped from the top of the mirror to land on the floor. He was now dressed up in a black uniform with a matching hat, and circular glasses as he handed them a stack of papers. “I’ve taken the liberty of making these IDs for all three of you, just to add to the authenticity. I also reserved a room for you all in this very castle, which you can use tonight to sleep.”

Sombra’s smile dampened quite a bit, not liking the sound of sleeping somewhere other than his personal bed. However, he and the others took the time to look through their new IDs, as well as the accompanying cards that went with them.

“Now, Sombra,” began Discord more directly, “your new name is Somber Tone. You’re a successful up-and-coming investor and fitness trainer, who just opened a third gym in Cloudsdale as part of your franchise. You’re visiting the Crystal Empire with Candy Heart, a nurse from Canterlot, and her husband Rusty Shield, who happens to be your top investor for your fitness company.”

Sombra smirked in satisfaction as he looked through his papers, which included several legit-looking business cards and some stunning pictures of himself in his new form. Meanwhile, Cadance and Shining looked less pleased as they looked up at Discord. “Candy Heart?” asked Cadance unamusedly. “I mean, Rusty Shield makes sense for Shining, since he’s meant to be a beta.”

“H-HEY!” shouted “Rusty” with a heavy blush. Fortunately, a sharp jab against the side from Somber’s torso shut him right up. “Ow! Nnnnffffff…”

“Oh, give me a break here!” Discord pointed down at Candy’s identification cards and pointed out, “I went to all this work to help you three and show my support, and you’re upset about a name? You can at least see what else I included in your pack.”

“Hmph…” Candy Heart redirected her stare towards the cards in her aura, and glossed through them with a skewed muzzle. Upon close inspection, she was impressed by how passable the cards looked as genuine identification. Along with her license and nursing badge, she also found some gift cards for some of the Crystal Empire’s nicer restaurants. However, it was a piece of parchment at the bottom of her stack that caused her eyes to widen. “What the…”

She hovered up the paper with her aura, and all three ponies leaned in to read what it said. Rusty gasped with his face paling in terror, while Somber’s face lit up like a colt on Hearth’s Warming Morning.

To whomever it may concern,
This notice is an official notary approved by Princess Cadance and Prince Consort Shining Armor, as part of their Official Relationship Training Course. Candy Heart and Rusty Shield are a married couple who had signed up for the course, and are undergoing therapy to repair their relationship. Last year, Rusty Shield was caught in an affair with a college freshman, and has agreed to allow his wife to start an exclusive cuckold-based relationship with Somber Tone as a means to keep his marriage. Because of the severity of his infidelity, as well as Candy Heart’s valiant efforts in Canterlot Hospital’s Cancer Wing, this notice is to allow the three to do what they wish within the Crystal Empire city limits. Please do not interfere with whatever might happen, even if they cause a public disturbance. This is not only approval from us, but also an issued punishment against Rusty Shield he’s required to abide.
If Rusty Shield refuses any actions ordered by his wife Candy Heart or his Bull Somber Tone, his divorce papers will be instantly processed by Equestrian law. He will also be ordered to surrender his personal bank account, as well as any custody privileges of their daughter.
Under Official Notary by the Crystal Castle,
Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadance

“Ho… H-Holy cow…”

Candy’s jaw was fully agape, as were Rusty and Somber’s. Rusty looked absolutely petrified, with his blue fur now a ghastly white across his face. Meanwhile, Somber was the first to look up at Discord with unmitigated glee. “Wait a minute! Is that notice actually legit?!”

“It certainly is! I even had it stamped from Shining’s office~” Discord pulled up another stack of papers, which revealed Shining Armor’s name and personal info attached. “Oh, and ‘Rusty’? These are your actual custody papers and bank statements here~”

“WHAT?!?” Rusty snatched the papers with his magic, and frantically looked through them to realize Discord wasn’t bullshitting him. Shining Armor’s bank account papers, marriage license, and even custody papers in Flurry Heart’s name, were all present as part of Discord’s malicious plan. When he looked up at the draconequus in horror, Discord just smirked down at him without a shred of remorse.

“You’re going to submit to him anyway,” he pointed out with his arms crossed over his chest. “Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if deep-down, you truly wanted him to dominate you in front of all the Crystal Ponies. I just wanted to give you that extra incentive to make sure you don’t back out like a coward~”

Rusty’s dropped jaw trembled, and he looked back down at the papers Discord were using as leverage. Candy Heart looked rather unsure herself, and glanced over at the papers before asking, “Wait a minute… You’re actually holding his patronage hostage?!”

“Oh, it’s just a little fire under Rusty’s rump~” pointed out Discord with a cheeky grin. “It’s like walking a tightrope without a safety net. Sometimes you just need it to happen, you know?~”

“Hmmmm…” Despite her apprehensions, Candy stepped back while tapping her chin with a hoof. Rusty stared back at her with an appalled look, offended that his wife was even thinking over such a cruel incentive. But before he could try and stop her, Somber Tone leaned in to whisper into her ear, “Pleeeeeaaaaaase let this happen. I want to make him squirm~ And I know you want that too…”

Candy Heart huffed out through her nostrils, still looking uneasy about implementing such a detail. But after looking back at her “husband,” who was giving her the most pleading look he could muster, all that she could do was scoff with a devilish smirk. “You know what?” She took that stack of Shining Armor’s papers, and handed them back up to Discord. “I’m willing to trust that he understands the consequences~”

Rusty’s jaw nearly touched the floor, looking absolutely shattered by his wife’s agreement. Somber just cackled mockingly at the stallion, and stared him down with an eager grin. “Ohhhh… you better be ready, Rusty Shield~”

“Oh! And before I forget…” Discord removed his uniform with another snap of his claw, and pulled out a small parchment from his ear. He put on some reading glasses before going through the additional details he had prepared. “I also cleared your Royal schedules for today, since neither of you have much planned anyway. A note will be sent to the castle staff and guards, informing them that you guys took an impromptu day-trip to visit Twilight Sparkle. Flurry Heart will be sent to Twilight’s castle with a note, so she’ll be aware of what’s going on and most likely agree to assist and provide an alibi. Your disguises will last for as long as you wish, so don’t worry about them wearing off or becoming undone too early. All you have to do is call out for me, and I’ll reverse them in this very bedroom.” He looked up from his list, and made sure to ask, “Any questions?”

Rusty and Candy blinked a couple times, both of them impressed by the level of thought Discord put into all of this. Somber Tone had no complaints, and merely shrugged with a satisfied grin. When the couple looked back at each other, Rusty was blushing badly with his head hung low. Meanwhile, Candy Heart leaned in with an eager grin, and whispered into his ear, “If you agree to do this, I’ll remove your chastity cage so you can enjoy it just as much~”

Rusty’s eyes widened, and his head perked right up with the promise of giving his cock some freedom. He looked down between his legs, seeing that Discord kept that locked cage firmly over his member. After blinking a couple times in thought, the stallion bit his lip before taking a deep breath. “Ummm… W-Well, I…”

Since he could tell that she was intrigued enough to go with everything, Rusty eventually sighed before looking back up Discord. “I… don’t think we have any questions to ask.”

“Wonderful!” Discord handed Somber the key to their guest room in the castle. “This is on the second floor of the castle, and you’ll find luggage bags inside with your personal items. I really hope that you all have a wonderful day~”

Before he could leave their plane of existence with a snap of his claw, Cadance quickly blurted out, “Oh! Umm, before you go…”

Candy pointed a hoof back at her husband, and sheepishly asked, “I… I can’t exactly remove his chastity cage without breaking it, so… could you possibly assist with this?”

“Oh, that’s no problem at all~” Discord showed no awkwardness at all as he went up to Rusty, and leaned in beneath his torso. Due to his chaotic magic being able to achieve the impossible, he was able to effortlessly slip the chastity cage off the stallion’s member like it was nothing. Rusty gasped loudly, and clenched his eyes before letting out a deep and shuddering sigh of relief. “H-H-Hoooollllllllly fuck~”

“Okay, there we go~” Discord turned his attention back to the other two with a mischievous grin, and gave them a wave goodbye. “Alright! Stay safe, you crazy kids!”

POOF!!

With a burst of colorful smoke, Discord left the room to leave the trio to themselves alone in the Royal bedroom. Rusty Shield looked rightfully panicked, and took a couple shivering breaths as he let the realization sink in. Not only was he in a new identity stripping him of his Royal status, but he was now at the legal whim of his wife and Superior to do whatever they wished. And to make matters worse, both of them were staring right back at Rusty with determined looks on their faces.

“Well, I’m glad Discord was able to undo this for the time being~” Candy held the newly-removed chastity cage in her magic, and walked up to her husband with narrowing eyes. “But don’t get used to it, Shining. As soon as we’re back to our regular selves, this is going back on, and staying on~”

Rusty gulped with a wince, but dutifully nodded in understanding. Even though the idea of going back in the cage felt ominously cruel, he was mostly still relieved to be out of it for now. Unfortunately, the moment Candy Heart leaned down to inspect the stallion’s equipment, she covered her mouth with both hooves to keep from laughing. “PBBBTTT!!!”

“What?!” Rusty instantly looked down, and shrieked like a little girl, “AIIIEEEEE!!!”

It turned out that her offer to remove the cage didn’t really amount to much, since it was revealed that Discord included a micropenis between Rusty Shield’s legs. And to make matters worse, his balls were still at average size, which made his member look even punier in comparison.

“OH MY GOD!” Somber took one look at that measly dicklet before laughing his ass off. He reeled back from the stallion, and covered his eyes with a hoof while tears went down his cheeks. “Aaahhh! That’s the best thing I’ve seen yet!~”

Rusty looked like he was about to cry, and just kept staring at his worthless nub with a couple of saddened sniffs. But before he could properly process the fact that his stallionhood was the size of a tic-tac, Candy Heart took a couple of calming breaths before recomposing herself first. After glancing up at the clock, she quickly trotted over to the bedroom doors. “O-Okay, okay... the Guards most likely aren’t by our doors, so we can easily head to our room without detection. The next rotation will be in ten minutes, so we should be quick to leave the Royal section.”

Rusty and Somber shared a look, with the latter looking a little miffed they were going to sleep in a different room. However, he was also the first to begin following Candy, with the cuckold walking behind him with his head hanging low. Fortunately for the three, barely any Guards were out on patrol as they left their lavish abode, and walked down to the second floor where the guest suites were located. Candy Heart was the first to enter, and was happy to find a room similar to a hotel’s penthouse suite. There were also three small travel bags left on the bed, with appropriate labels to indicate whose was whose. As the mare excitedly went over to see what Discord had packed for them, Somber Tone stopped at the open doorway and turned around to face Rusty.

“And just where do you think you’re going?” he asked the cuck, his eyes narrowing on him with a smug-looking grin. Rusty was taken aback, and froze in place out in the empty hallway.

“Uhhh…” He blinked a couple times before trying to look past Somber. “I-I was… Planning to sleep in the room?”

“Nope!” Somber grinned even wider, and made sure the doorway was fully blocked by his muscular form. “You have that notice from Cadance and Shining, right? That’ll make sure nopony bothers you while you sleep in the hallway~”

“W-WHAT?!” Rusty Shield’s eyes shot wide-open, but his face was quickly covered by the pillow that was thrown into his face. Inside the room, Candy Heart heard enough of her lover’s statement to not only float over a small blanket, but also the official notice she had with her identification.

“Ooh, that sounds fun~” The mare went back to the doorway, standing beside Somber as she eyed Rusty with a playful grin. “Sorry, honey. You agreed to do as we wish, and I think this’ll work as a proper test before morning~”

Since she could see how betrayed and hurt the stallion looked, she made sure to lean in and give him a comforting peck on the cheek. “Besides,” she added in a sly whisper into his ear, “you can probably hear us through the door if you’re quiet enough~”

After giving Rusty his beddings and the notice, Candy Heart trotted back into the room to get in bed. Meanwhile, Somber Tone stood right in place to stare the smaller stallion down. “You hear that?” he asked mockingly. “She doesn’t want you~”

With the way his eyes widened with that last statement, it was clear that Somber intended for that to be said as cruelly as possible. He then took a single step back, and slammed the door right in Rusty Shield’s face.

None of the ponies were able to sleep well that night, but for very different reasons. For Candy Heart and Somber Tone, the two spent a good portion of their evening having loud, passionate sex in their room without any interruption. But for Rusty Shield, who had to craft a makeshift bed with the blanket and pillow right outside the door, most of his time was spent trying to stroke himself to the muffled moans. Unfortunately, even while his tiny nub felt as hard a pebble against his hoof, he eventually realized how useless it was to try and use his miniscule member. By the time he heard the fourth ourasmic moan from Candy inside the room, he eventually gave up and passed out around four in the morning.

A couple of the cleaning staff walked past him in the hall with peculiar looks, but were quick to ignore him after reading the paper left on his pillow. Unfortunately for Rusty Shield, he could only wait until the morning to see what horrors would happen to him next…

Chapter Three: Rusty Shield's Walk Around Town

View Online

“Mnnnnghhhh… Ugh, my head…”

The stallion kept his eyes tightly clenched, mostly to try and counteract the blinding lights above him in the hallway. He tried to cover his eyes with a hoof, and groaned to himself tiredly when he finally lifted himself from his pillow. The moment he pulled his hoof back, he gasped in horror when he felt how bare the top of his head was; however, the very moment his eyes shot wide-open, he instantly winced and lurched his head forward in realization.

“Right,” muttered Shining, who needed a moment to remember he was currently ‘Rusty Shield’ for the day. “Ugh… why couldn’t that have just been an elaborate dream?”

The pale blue stallion eventually got himself used to the light, and looked down at the makeshift bedding he was forced to use in the hallway. Luckily for Rusty, his blanket and pillow were left undisturbed by any of the cleaning staff who undoubtedly saw him resting in such an undignified position. The official notice that Discord crafted up was still resting at the edge of his pillow, advertising the pathetic story of Rusty for anypony who walked by as he slept. But since the hallway was left empty when he awoke, he was fortunate enough to roll up the blanket and pillow before getting up from the floor.

Even though he had no idea what time it was, Rusty tried to knock on the door a couple times. “Uhhh… Sombr--I mean, Somber?” The pony cringed a little, and looked up and down the hall to make sure nopony overheard that near slip. After breathing out in relief, he tried to ask through the door, “Are you guys still in there?”

“Oh, perfect timing!”

Rusty was happy to hear Candy Heart’s voice inside the room, and stepped back when the door finally opened. The pink mare appeared at the doorway with a tired, albeit satisfied-looking smile as she hovered a couple cups of coffee in her magic. She floated one of the cups to Rusty, which he was more than pleased to receive with a grateful smile. “Oh! Thank you!” The stallion closed his eyes, and took a moment to savor the rich bitterness as he carefully sipped the freshly-brewed drink. “Aaaaahhhhhh… Oh, that’s so much better~”

“Hmph~ Nice to see you’re still in high spirits.” Candy shot her husband a sly-looking grin while holding her own cup in her magic. “So, are you doing alright? Nopony bothered you out in the hall, did they?”

“A-Actually, no!” Rusty shook his head while carrying a surprised expression. “I mean… It wasn’t exactly comfortable, but I wasn’t woken up by anypony.”

“Wait, you were actually able to sleep last night?!”

Rusty overheard Somber Tone’s voice, and glanced past Candy at the doorway to see the buff stallion walking out of the bathroom. The tattooed pony clearly hadn’t showered yet, as his long black mane was left disheveled and unwashed. His tan fur was still matted in sweat, not that he seemed to mind when he eyed Rusty with a smug-looking smirk. “Considering how loud we were, I’d be surprised if you slept longer than an hour at most!”

“Nnnnghhh…” Rusty’s head lowered with a flustered blush, and he looked away from Somber in intimidation. “Y-Yeah, uhhhh… It… It sounded like you two had a lot of fun…”

Since the stallion’s new appearance looked ungodly pathetic, Candy had to keep from snickering at how sheepishly he gave that statement. Meanwhile, Somber Tone went right to the doorway beside the mare, and pulled her in close to his side. Compared to how Rusty looked outside the room, Somber looked even manlier as he stared down at him with a dominant grin. “Oh, we had a lot of fun for our anniversary, Rusty. It’s almost a shame that you couldn’t see it yourself~”

Before the cuckold could take another sip of his coffee, Somber reached out and snatched the cup with his hoof. He then down the entirety of the mug himself, and pulled his head back to let out a satisfied sigh with steam bellowing from his open muzzle. After placing the empty cup on a nearby end-table, Somber looked back at Rusty and emphasized, “Almost a shame~”

Rusty’s head hung even lower, eliciting a low chuckle from the stallion looming over him. Meanwhile, Candy couldn’t keep from giggling while looking up at Somber with a blushed smirk of her own. “Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded letting him watch us. If anything, he could’ve helped clean up a bit~”

As she said that last part, one of Candy’s hooves went up to trail across the intricate markings that adorned Somber’s bulging bicep. She narrowed her eyes on the sight of his thick, sweaty foreleg with a hungry smirk, and her nostrils flared out to catch a good whiff of his heavy musk. Even from outside the room, Rusty was able to smell his Superior well enough to tell that was Sombra underneath. But instead of saying anything about that detail, all that Rusty could do was watch as Candy Heart bent in with her muzzle opening. “Aaaahhhhhh…”

The mare blushed as she dragged her tongue up the length of Somber’s bicep, catching a good amount of sweat on her tastebuds as it graced against his matted fur. Even though she knew the appearance was an illusion by Discord, she could still feel the distinct lines and divots whenever her tongue went over one of those bold black tattoos. Her eyes closed as she let out a weak-sounding moan, and eventually pulled back to swallow the taste of a proper stallion. And as she glanced back at Rusty with a smirk, she made sure to include a teasing purse of her lips to make a kissing gesture. “Now that’s what I call a wake-me-up~”

Somber chuckled with a satisfied grin, and pulled her in closer to his side. And with Rusty still watching them through his blush, the buff stallion returned the gesture by leaning in, and flicking his tongue against the ridge of her ear. Candy giggled involuntarily, and tried to reel away from his tickling gesture. But as soon as he brought her in closer, his muzzle went in to dominantly kiss her on the muzzle.

“HUHHH!!” Rusty gasped in shock when a couple of the castle staff walked past them, pausing briefly enough to glance over at the couple making out in the open doorway. Rusty looked absolutely petrified, and was frozen in place while looking back at them. However, the two Crystal Ponies merely shrugged in response, and went back to their duties while giggling under their breaths. It took Rusty a moment to realize why their responses were so cavalier, and he was left blushing heavily by the time he looked back at the couple himself.

“Mmmmmm…” After their long and passionate kiss, their lips pulled apart with a wet smack before turning their attention back to Rusty. “What’s wrong?” asked Candy while smiling devilishly at the cuckold. “Discord changed our appearances, remember? Nopony knows it’s actually us~”

“That’s right,” added Somber, whose grin widened immensely while staring Rusty down. “And nopony knows that you’re their Prince either~”

Rusty knew he should’ve been grateful for their disguises being so effective; however, Somber’s statement was more than enough to make his ears lower worriedly alongside his blush. But even with how nervously uneasy the stallion looked, Somber leaned in close to his face and added maliciously, “And believe me, Rusty Shield… I’m going to do things to you I could never get away with before~”

Even though Rusty’s muzzle quivered in dread, the only response he could give was an audible gulp. But before he could think to say anything, Candy Heart used her magic to float over the personal travel bag Discord left for him. “Here you go, honey,” she said with a much kinder tone than her lover. “He left a few items in there for you to look through. He also left a note that I think you need to read~”

Rusty lit up his horn, and floated the bag in his aura to see that the draconequus left for him. Upon opening the bag, the first thing that caught his attention was the note Candy mentioned. He pulled it out with his hoof, and leaned in to read the handwritten text applied in a dainty font:

Dear “Rusty Shield”,
In case you haven’t realized it yet, I didn’t just give your member the ol’ ‘shrinky-dink’ for funsies. Along with your micropenis, you’ll be pleased to know I also made it so you can’t ejaculate under any circumstances! While in your new form, I also included an enchantment that connects Somber Tone’s pleasure with your displeasure. The more aroused he gets, the more your balls will swell out and increase your libido. So unless you want to be a horny wreck carrying a couple cantaloupes between his legs all day, you better find a means to get him off whenever you can. ;)
Also, I took the liberty of gifting you a few accessories for when you three go out on the town. Good luck! You’re gonna need it~
-Sincerely, Discord
P.S. - Don’t be surprised if you spot a familiar face in town today. I didn’t plan it, but I’m certainly not wanting to stop it either~

“Nnnghhh…” Rusty Shield grimaced bitterly after reading through the note, silently cursing himself for not realizing his afflictions sooner. Despite how badly he tried to jerk himself off, it turned out that the reason for his inability to cum wasn’t just because of his microscopic length. Even though he felt that the draconequus was doing too much to his junk, he’d rather deal with this than wearing that constricting cage again. Of course, after re-reading through the note, the stallion brought his attention back to the couple when he asked, “Wait… Do either of you know what he meant with that P.S. at the end?”

“No idea,” noted Candy with a shrug. “All I can guess that it’s maybe Twilight and her friends or something.”

Somber huffed with a piqued smirk. “That would be pretty fun, actually! It would certainly be interesting for them to see my abilities without trying to eviscerate me~”

While Somber and Candy shared a cheeky little laugh following his morbid joke, Rusty was left wincing in dread from that possibility. Twilight may have been aware and accepting of their lifestyle, but the idea of her friends seeing him like this felt absolutely humiliating. Not to mention, he really didn’t want his adopted brother Spike to see him in such a lowly state, even with a convincing disguise. Unfortunately, Rusty wasn’t able to dwell too long about the hypotheticals before Candy turned her focus back towards him. “Ooh! Speaking of which, you should check out what Discord packed for you! He seriously went all-out with your accessories~”

Since he was so worried about that P.S., Rusty instantly froze up while keeping his travel bag in his aura. Somber grinned evilly as he reached into the open bag with a hoof, and pulled out something guaranteed to make his bitch squirm. “You better keep that notice nearby, Rusty. Because I have a feeling you’re going to need to explain yourself with this~”

As soon as he saw the gaudy item in Somber’s hoof, Rusty gasped in shock with his cheeks blushing deeply. Meanwhile, Candy Heart giggled as she pointed at the item, and said, “Ooh! It matches the color you’re showing right now~”

Rusty couldn’t see how deeply pink his cheeks had gotten; unfortunately, he could only assume she was right about it matching the hue of pink on his collar and leash. The collar was adorned with bright silver bells, which loudly jingled from even the slightest movement in Somber’s hoof. And worst of all, it still had the golden bone-shaped tag from Shining’s personal collar, with the word ‘CUCK’ engraved in bold black letters.

“Put it on,” growled Somber with a merciless grin as he presented the collar to Rusty. “Now~”

Since Candy Heart was holding up Rusty’s official notice, with the final part reminding him of the consequences if he refused, the stallion could only sigh in relent before taking the collar with his hoof.

Jingle, Jingle, Jingle, Jingle…

“Ooh!”

“Ohmigosh!”

“Honey, get the camera!”

Rusty clenched his eyes shut in relent, unable to handle seeing the shocked looks from any of the Crystal Ponies he was forced to walk by. Despite how loud the bells around his neck were jungling, making him feel like a walking Hearth’s Warming display, it wasn’t enough to keep him from overhearing the multitude of gasps and snickers from all around him. Part of him wanted to believe that his wife wouldn’t have actually approved of something this humiliating, mostly due to how distracting and unbecoming it was to act such a way outside the castle. Unfortunately, since Candy Heart wasn’t the Princess of this city, there was nothing to dampen her amused smirk while walking beside Somber as a happy couple. “Mmmmm… This is such a nice change of pace for us~”

Candy rested her head against Somber’s shoulder as they trotted side-by-side, looking genuinely happy to have such a moment with him outdoors for a change. Meanwhile, the tattooed stallion was grinning rather smugly, even with the end of Rusty’s leash clenched between his teeth. As soon as they exited the Crystal Castle as a group of “tourists,” the sight of so many Crystal Ponies gawking and staring at them felt unbelievably rewarding. Not to mention, it was hard not to feel a profound sense of power as he tugged along the cuckold, who was walking behind them with his head hanging low like an embarrassed puppy.

Rusty tried his hardest to keep his eyes pointed to the ground, not wanting to look around and see all the citizens he was sworn to protect making fun of him in his current predicament. Even though he knew that things could be worse than his current getup, being collared and leashed around town still felt like the sort of fate he wouldn’t have wished on his worst enemy. But alas, even if he refrained from looking around, he could still hear what had to be dozens of ponies whispering and giggling as he walked behind his Superior. And to make matters worse, his ears twitched whenever he heard the distinct clicks of camera flashes going off to immortalize this moment. “Nnnnghhhh…”

Somber overheard the whimpering groan from his bitch behind him, and pulled the leash from his mouth to hold tightly in his hoof. “I’m sorry, is there something wrong, Rusty?~” As he and Candy continued to walk away from the castle, heading towards the large Crystal Heart display, Somber glanced back at Rusty to point out, “You know, you really shouldn’t have your head slumped down like that. It could cause problems for your neck~”

To emphasize his point, Somber gave a hard yank of the leash to jolt Rusty’s head up, and to make the bells on his collar jingle more enthusiastically. As the stallion cringed with a deep blush, he could hear more teasing laughter from the Crystal Ponies he walked past. He made the mistake of looking around for a moment, and had to close his eyes when he saw how many of his citizens were pointing at him and whispering at one another. He even saw a Mother quickly pulling her son away from the crowds with a hoof over his eyes, as if Rusty’s very presence was deemed inappropriate.

“And you know what the best thing is?” asked Somber with an especially snide grin on his lowly cuck. “Unless any ponies come in close enough to read your tag, they’ll just assume that Candy and I are the legit couple among us. Isn’t that great?~”

Rusty tried his hardest not to hang his head down again, and continued to walk with a somewhat presentable stance beneath his collar. Unfortunately, it was even harder for him not to scowl when he replied sarcastically, “Yeah, how lovely.”

“Is that an attitude I’m hearing from you, Rusty?!”

Somber immediately stopped, as did Candy as they turned around to face Rusty directly. Since the stallion had over a foot on him height-wise, Rusty instantly froze up and trembled before his Superior. Before he could think to stumble back in a panic, Somber kept the grip on his leash nice and tight as he pulled him in to keep him in place. Meanwhile, Candy gasped to herself as she looked around, and blushed with a hoof over her muzzle to hide her overwhelmed smile. She muttered under her breath, “Oh gosh~”

“W-Wait!” blurted Rusty as he blushed profusely over his petrified expression. “I-I-I wasn’t tryin--”

“We specifically warned you about giving us any back-talk during your punishment, you cuck!” As he spoke authoritatively, Somber made sure to emphasize that last word loudly enough for everypony around them to hear. Rusty winced with his ears hung low, unable to ignore the round of giggles and gasps that came from his Superior’s dominance. But instead of looking around to see how many ponies were watching from the sidelines, Rusty’s attention remained on the wide and malicious grin Somber was giving him. “I guess we have to go even harder, won’t we?~”

From the way Somber made that menacing remark, Rusty could tell that he wasn’t playing around anymore. Since the three were all in alternate identities, he knew there was no reason for either of them to hold back when it came to humiliating him in public. And much to his dismay, when Rusty tried to look back at his wife, all that he saw was a giddy grin across Candy Heart’s muzzle. “Hehehehehe~ I guess you should’ve kept your mouth shut, Honey~”

Rusty heard even more chuckles, as well as ponies whistling in response to Candy’s unwavering tone. If Somber calling him a cuck wasn’t enough to inform the ponies what was happening, then Candy’s additional remark was surely enough to do the trick. When the unicorn looked around, he was horrified to see that none of the Crystal Ponies were stepping in to try and stop this madness. Instead, many of them were either whispering to one another with giggles, or pulling out cameras to take pictures of the three.

“Say, darling~” cooed Somber as he glanced back at Candy Heart with a devilish grin. “Do you happen to have that one item in your purse I asked you to bring?~”

Rusty had no idea what his Superior was referring to, since he was forced to wait outside the room in his collar while the couple got themselves ready. Unfortunately, even now he can smell the heady musk wafting from Somber’s still unwashed fur, which was still reeking of a mixture of sex and sweat. Meanwhile, Candy Heart looked freshly-showered as she reached into the purse with her magic. “Hmmm, let’s see… Aha!~”

Candy Heart shot Rusty a wide and teasing smirk of her own as she handed Somber the item he was looking for: A small, electric shaving razor.

Rusty gasped in horror, his fur quickly paling as badly as the white patches of his mane that were still atop his head. Unfortunately, he could tell from Somber’s piercing stare that his combover won’t last for much longer. “You still think you’re able to talk back to me?” Somber narrowed his eyes on him with an evil grin, and turned on the razor to make it buzz loudly in his hoof. “Hang your head down again~”

Rusty was breathing heavily, and felt completely helpless when he heard the symphony of laughter and hushed whispers from all around. Since no Guards or police were coming by to stop Somber Tone, Rusty knew that he was left completely at the couple’s mercy. Not to mention, Candy Heart made sure to pull out the official notice Discord made, and smirked snidely as she pointed to that last paragraph with her hoof. Even though the fact she was willing to emphasize that threat broke his heart, Rusty could only close his eyes and take a deep breath in remorse. “Ugh…”

As soon as Rusty Shield lowered his head before Somber, the laughter from all around grew much louder than before. For a moment, Rusty almost felt like he was publicly surrendering before his former enemy like an absolute coward. Of course, it was hard for him to focus on that embarrassing addition the moment he felt the end of Somber’s razor grind across the top of his head.

VRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Rusty knew he didn’t have much of his mane left atop his head, but he still grimaced sadly when he heard the whirring gears cutting it away in an instant. His eyes clenched tightly, and his muzzle trembled when he felt the device shaving the top of his head right down to the underlying fur. Somber was smirking in satisfaction after only two or three swipes of the razor, which left the top of his head completely bald and shaven clean. However, since the white mane along the sides of his head was left untouched, Rusty ended up looking much older than before by the time Somber returned the razor to Candy. “Thank you, honey~”

He then bent in, and kissed Candy Heart on the lips in front of all the Crystal Ponies watching them. Rusty wasn’t able to reopen his eyes until he heard a strong round of cheers and whistles, with most of the ponies applauding Somber and Candy for their affection. When he finally looked up at them, his jaw dropped when he saw his Superior holding his wife tightly for a full-blown makeout session. Candy paid no heed to Rusty’s mortified stare, and even moaned into her lover’s mouth as they kissed with tongue before all the Crystal Ponies.

If any of them were back in their original forms in that moment, there would likely be massive bloodshed from the citizens feeling betrayed by their Princess. But since all they could see now was an attractive couple embarrassing their cuck, they were treating it exactly the way Sombra and Cadance would’ve fantasized. By the time the two pulled away with a wet smack of their lips, both of them were blushing with enamored smiles while hearing the round of stomps and clapping hooves around them.

“Mmmmm…” As Somber stared down at her with a stunningly charming grin, he made sure to bend in and whisper into her ear, “I hope that was everything you wished for, your Highness~”

Since none of the ponies around them were able to hear that statement, Candy Heart giggled with a hoof over her mouth while blushing deeply. And after taking a calming breath, she completely ignored the sight of Rusty’s dropped jaw when she gave an enthusiastic nod of her head. “Oh, it certainly was~”

She then bent in close to Somber’s ear, and whispered back, “Go ahead and do what you want~”

Rusty was the only pony to hear what she said, which caused his eyes to widen even more in terror when he saw Somber’s enthusiastic grin. But before anything else could be said, the Superior turned back to his bitch wide-eyed. “Now then… Did you learn your lesson, you pathetic little cuck?~”

Rusty’s ears lowered in embarrassment from the continuing giggles from ponies watching and photographing them. But alas, the bitch was still able to nod his head timidly in response. “Y… Y-Yes, Sir.”

“Prove it~” Somber turned himself around, and lifted up one of his hind-legs to present his hoof to Rusty. “Kiss it. Now~”

Rusty sighed with his eyes closed, not seeming too surprised that Sombra would try something like that in his new disguise. But after taking a deep breath, the cuckold decided to just bite the bullet as he leaned down, and pressed his lips against the smooth keratin of Somber’s hoof. His pathetic gesture lasted for only a couple seconds, but he couldn’t help whimpering to himself when he heard another uproar of laughter and camera flashes. Unfortunately, even when Somber lowered his hoof, the instant flag of his tail prompted many of the ponies watching to gasp or whistle in shock. Even Rusty’s eyes widened when he saw his Superior openly exposing his fat, puckering tailhole for everypony to see.

“Oh, jeez…” Candy Heart may have been trying to conceal her smile by biting her lips shut, but she made sure to hold that official notice close in case this gesture went too far.

“Do it,” commanded Somber without a shred of hesitation in his unwavering grin. “Or I’ll make you teach your daughter to start calling me Daddy from now on~”

Many of the ponies in the crowd gasped to such a severe threat, but none were as loud as Rusty’s himself. From the way Somber was staring him down, the cuckold knew that he wasn’t just making that threat as their alternates; if he refused to kiss his ass, Sombra might actually force him to do such a thing when they returned to the castle. Rusty’s horrified stare went back to Somber’s waiting ass, with the thick ring of his tailhole glistening in a thick sheen of musky sweat. The very idea of complying to such an order, especially in front of his Crystal Ponies, made him wince in absolute dread.

But after clenching his eyes shut, Rusty Shield lunged in muzzle-first, and planted his lips right over that meaty ring. “Muah!~”

The kiss was near instantaneous, with the stallion immediately lurching his head back down to ignore the crowd of shocked ponies gawking at his pathetic nature. But even with how sick and depraved that order may have been, Somber Tone was grinning down at him smugly while the ponies around either laughed or gagged in response. Even Candy Heart had to look away, but that was mostly because she was covering her face and struggling not to crack up herself. Meanwhile, Rusty was grimacing when he caught the taste of Somber’s ass-sweat that was lingering on his lips. “Nnnngh!”

“Alright, alright! Just what in Tartarus is going on here?!”

Just as the three overheard that sternly inflected voice from nearby, they turned to see a few members of the Royal Guards coming in through the crowds. The Crystal Ponies who were watching the spectacle quickly dispersed, leaving Rusty and his tormentors by themselves as the authorities came in. Rusty’s eyes widened when he recognized the head Guard, who happened to be Corporal Flash Sentry. As the orange pegasus eyed the group with a firm and unwavering glare of disinterest, Somber quickly stepped away from his bitch and lowered his tail. Even though Rusty looked rightfully worried (especially with his head freshly shaved and his lips glistening with ass-sweat), Candy Heart already had her horn lit up while keeping her muzzle tightly shut.

Flash narrowed his eyes on the three, although his attention was particularly focused on Rusty due to his collar and impromptu “mane-style.” The cuckold couldn’t bear to look at one of his Guards in the eye, and averted his sights from him in embarrassment. Somber didn’t seem nearly as worried as his bitch, but he still kept himself silent to keep from stirring up any further trouble for them. Because of that, Flash Sentry wasn’t interrupted when he addressed them firmly. “Okay, just what are you three trying to pull?!” His attention turned towards the bright pink leash connected to Rusty’s collar, which Somber still had clenched in his hoof. Unamused by that accessory, the pegasus eyed the Bull especially hard when he asked, “Exactly why are you having a pony on a leash in public like this?! You’re aware there are kids around, right?”

Before Somber could try to explain himself, Candy Heart stepped in with the official notice hovering in her aura. “Oh, I’m so sorry, officer,” she said apologetically, making sure to give Flash a sheepish smile to emphasize their innocence. “I know this is a bit much, but ummm… I feel like this letter will explain ourselves more than we can at the moment…”

As the mare floated the letter to Flash, Somber and Rusty shared equally uneasy looks due to the predicament they were in. Even with the precautions Discord placed for them, it was obvious that the two were pushing their luck with that additional bout of exhibitionism in front of so many innocent ponies. However, as Flash Sentry held the notice in his hoof, he and the two Guards accompanying him all read through the letter officiated by “Shining Armor” to grant the three their innocence. As soon as the details about Rusty’s situation came to light, the two Royal Guards behind Flash had to turn away to keep from snickering too notably. Rusty’s head lowered in shame, just as Flash himself finished reading through the paper with narrowing eyes. “Hmmm… I could’ve sworn that Cadance would’ve informed us of this before she left for Canterlot…”

That detail got all three of them worried, since they had no idea how far Discord went in regards to their alibis. Even with the trust they placed on the draconequus for this day to happen, the look on Flash’s face indicated that he may have not gone that far. However, even with the suspicious stare he was carrying on all three of them, the pegasus eventually glanced back at his Guards for their opinions on the matter. After the two shrugged with huffed smirks, Flash did the same before hoofing Candy the official notice. “Well, alright then,” he said with a firm, albeit unconvinced tone of voice. “I wasn’t aware that they started that relationship program so soon, but I’m willing to let it slide if it’s legit.”

As soon as Candy retrieved the letter with a thankful smile, it was dampened immensely when Flash added, “But! Considering who’s here today, I think it’s best that you three try not to make any public disturbances like this, okay? Maybe take this to an indoor venue or something for the time being. I don’t want Shining Armor on my ass for allowing stunts that end up on the newspaper headlines.”

“Ooh, do you think that’ll happen?” asked Somber with a hopeful smile. Of course, as soon as Flash shot him a warning glare, the stallion immediately looked away and pursed his muzzle as tightly as possible. Meanwhile, Rusty and Candy both groaned with their hooves over their faces. Luckily, Somber was quick to say with a more respectful tone, “I-I mean, uhhh… We understand completely, Corporal. We apologize for the intrusion.”

Even though Flash looked a little confused (most likely due to this random stallion knowing his rank without context), he was more taken aback when Somber stood tall and gave him a proper salute out of respect. After his brows raised in surprise, Flash returned the salute to Somber before pointing his hoof elsewhere. “Apology accepted,” he stated firmly, “now if you’d be so kind, I’d recommend you disperse elsewhere for the time being.”

“Duly noted.” With that, Somber Tone took hold of Rusty’s leash, and gave it a hard tug to get him moving. “We have lunch reservations anyway, so we’ll be on our way.”

As Somber and Candy walked off side-by-side, the lowly cuck was left to trot behind them while avoiding the judgemental stares from his own Guards. If any of them even grew the slightest suspicion of who he was, he’d likely never recover from the stain to his reputation. Fortunately though, even with how pathetic he appeared in his leash and collar (as well as his newly bald head), he could only hope that they wouldn’t make the connection as he left their line of sight. Unfortunately, even as he walked past Flash and his officers, he winced when he overheard them snickering to one another about what was going on.

“Wow…” Somber couldn’t help glancing back at Candy and Rusty with an impressed smirk on his face. “I have to say, you two handled that exceptionally well given the circumstances.”

“Heh~ T-Thanks…” Candy Heart looked just as flustered as her husband, and looked away from Somber with a nervous chuckle. As she scratched the back of her neck, she said with a huff, “Honestly, I’m surprised that you addressed those Guards so well yourself.”

“Hey, what can I say?” Somber Tone shrugged his head while looking ahead of them. “I did oversee the Crystal Empire before either of you, remember? It would be embarrassing if I didn’t know how to address the Crystal Guards properly.”

Candy and Rusty looked back at each other, neither of them able to say much in regards to Somber’s statement. However, the Superior made sure to look back at his cuck and add, “And by the way, I’m not going to judge you for how you handled that, alright? If I looked as bad as you right now, I’d be a bit flustered myself~”

Somber chuckled to himself in delight as he looked back ahead, keeping a tight grip on the leash that kept Rusty’s collar jingling loudly. The cuckold sighed with a slightly grateful smile, but was still too embarrassed by that confrontation to properly address Somber Tone. Instead, the stallion was left to blush with a clenched muzzle while Candy Heart spoke up. “Still though, at least we know Discord’s note actually works. I was honestly worried you were pushing things with that ass-kissing back there.”

“You know what? So did I~” Somber Tone reeled his head back to let out a delightfully boisterous laugh, which only made Rusty cringe more notably behind him. And to make matters worse, the cuck was soon met with the piercing gaze from his Superior when Somber looked back at him with a more diligent grin. “But since I know for a fact that I can get away with something that obscene, you better believe that I have bigger plans for you~”

As Rusty Shield whimpered to himself with a disheartened wince, he wasn’t sure what he should’ve been more worried about: the fact that Candy Heart just giggled in response to Somber’s ominous statement, or the fact that he could feel a distinct pressure building up in his balls. He wasn’t able to sneak a glance between Somber’s legs to see if he was erect, but he was certain that his Superior was getting riled up as he grimaced to himself from the building arousal that was causing his sac to hang a little more notably between his legs…

Chapter Four: Lunch Time

“Hnnngggg… Ohhhhhhmigoshhhhh…”

Even though he was trying his hardest to keep his voice hushed, Rusty’s distressed state was still noticeable to everypony in the restaurant. Not to mention, since Somber and Candy Heart still insisted that he wore his bell-laden collar, the blushing cuck felt many of the patrons’ eyes on him while he sat in his seat. Among the generous stack of gift cards Discord presented the three, one of them happened to be for the fancy Prench establishment called L’amour Entre Trois. Shining and Cadance actually had the pleasure of attending the restaurant a couple times since it opened; unfortunately, this was the first time for Rusty, as he sat across the booth from his wife and her passionate Bull.

“Mmmmm…” Somber Tone and Candy Heart were tightly nestled against one another in their corner of the booth, leaving poor Rusty all by himself like a wallflower. Even though he was fortunate not to be in a table in the middle of the room, his embarrassing collar (as well as the leash still attached, which was now tied to the table underneath) made sure that he was given a lot of attention from the other ponies trying to enjoy their lunch. However, even with how distracting their presence may have been, it didn’t seem like any of the ponies minded seeing the balding wimp of a stallion squirming across from the couple, who were nuzzling each other like a couple of high school sweethearts. “Come here, you~”

Somber lunged in while holding Candy in his muscular embrace, and locked lips with her for everypony in the restaurant to see. Even though it was firmly established their disguises were fool-proof, Rusty was still wincing worriedly when he tried to look around the packed establishment. Fortunately, all that he saw were ponies giggling at each other from the couple’s affectionate makeout session, as well as at Rusty’s pathetic appearance across from them. He wanted to lurch away from everyone with a disgruntled look, but the bells around his neck were loud enough to make him remain still in his seat.

“Hnnnggggg…” Rusty Shield had his head lowered while looking back at Candy Heart, who was holding Somber tightly and kissing him without any shame. Considering how impossible such a feat would’ve been for them to accomplish in their regular forms, Rusty couldn’t exactly blame her for enjoying the freedom of anonymity with her lover/husband. Instead of sparking any international incidents or riots, all that Candy was doing was appreciating a proper stallion in front of their cuck. Not to mention, as the two grew even rowdier in their booth, Rusty had to keep from squirming as he crossed his hind-legs tightly; unfortunately, that gesture did nothing to quell the increasing pressure building up in his swollen balls. “Nfff~”

Rusty clenched his eye shut with a brief groan, not wanting to look down and see the softball-sized orbs that were growing a distinct shade of blue between his legs. However, he was still unfortunate enough to overhear the smacking lips and muffled moans from Somber and Candy’s muzzles. He could also catch the notable aroma of Somber Tone’s musk, which was wafting about rather badly beneath their table. Even though Candy wasn’t touching him too inappropriately just yet, the stallion was still growing erect enough to make his cockhead press against the underside of their booth.

Rusty Shield was rock-hard as well, but it would’ve been impossible to tell from the jellybean that was twitching antsily just above his bulging balls.

“Ummm… H-Hello there, monseurs~” A prim, mustached unicorn came up to their table with menus in his aura, and interrupted the couple as he tried to remain cordial. Even though the three were almost kicked out of the restaurant before walking past the hostess stand, Discord’s official notice was legit enough to allow Rusty to be leashed across the establishment like a buffoon. The grey stallion was shooting an obvious stinkeye at Rusty for a moment, causing him to wince in his seat; fortunately though, the waiter still kept a courteous smile when he addressed the couple. “Is there anything I can get for you three?”

“As a matter of fact, there is~” Somber Tone slid apart from Candy for a moment, and pulled out a dingy-looking wallet that was obviously Rusty Shield’s property. As the cuckold watched with a silent grimace, the Superior stallion hoofed the waiter his bitch’s credit card. “He’ll be covering our bill today, so don’t be afraid to present us some of your more… extravagant lunch specials. We’ll be sure to provide a generous fifty percent tip for your gratitude~”

Rusty had to grit his teeth to keep from reacting too strongly, mostly since he knew how outrageously expensive this place could be for most commoners. And to make matters worse, he knew for a fact that the credit card in “Rusty’s” name was connected to Shining Armor’s personal bank account. Sure, Shining could technically afford it, but the cuckold still had to bite his tongue about how badly this lunch would chip away at his savings.

“Oh, absolutely monsieur~” As soon as he heard Somber’s promised tip, the waiter’s face lit up greedily. “I’ll be sure to check our wine selections if that’s alright.”

“Don’t forget to find something suitable for my mare here,” pointed out Somber as he rested a hoof gently atop Candy’s pregnant belly. “We’re expecting our first son any day now~”

Even with Somber and Candy’s matching smiles, the waiter still had to take a moment to process that detail. His gaze went down to the silver ring on Candy’s hoof, which matched the one that Rusty was wearing across the table. Not to mention, given the fact that Rusty was still wearing the ‘CUCK’ tag on his collar, it didn’t take the waiter long to realize the implications. “Aaaaahhh…” The unicorn blushed a little as he nodded his head, and tried not to look at Rusty in disgust. “D-Don’t worry, Sir,” he said assuredly. “I’ll be sure to have a non-alcoholic drink for your, errrr… your mare.”

Somber nodded with a warm smile, not seeming to mind how awkwardly the waiter tried not to refer to Candy as his wife. “Thank you very much for being so understanding.”

The waiter nodded with an uncomfortable blush, and was just about to head back to the kitchen before his ears perked up. Somber made sure to keep the stallion’s attention as he held up a large bag of bits, and jingled them tauntingly. Once again, Rusty’s blushed wince made it obvious that those bits came from his bank account as well. But instead of speaking up, the cuck was feeling helpless when Somber asked, “Oh, might I ask for another moment of your time, good sir?~”

When the waiter turned back to them, his muzzle tightly pursed in discomfort, Somber wrapped a hoof around Candy’s shoulder to pull her in close. The mare giggled sweetly in his embrace, and didn’t show any shame when Somber spoke openly about themselves. “You see, Candy and her ‘husband’ over there are helping to celebrate our one-year anniversary today. Even though they’re still married on paper, I’m the one who impregnated her with his permission~”

The waiter may have been able to connect the dots, but his blush deepened as he looked between Somber and his little bitch. Rusty Shield had his eyes closed in shame, but was able to hear his Superior address him directly. “Isn’t that right, Rusty?~”

“Ughhhh…” Instead of speaking out loud, the cuck merely nodded his head with a guilty blush. Unfortunately, that response caused his collar to jingle loudly, as well as for some of the nearby ponies to snicker from their tables. Because of that reaction, Somber didn’t seem too upset by the stallion’s pathetic excuse of an answer. Instead, he turned his attention back to the waiter with a satisfied smile.

“And do you want to know why he needed me to knock up his wife?~” With that, Somber Tone handed the waiter that generous bag of bits, and then looked back at Rusty firmly. “Show him. Now~”

Rusty looked up just long enough to see Somber’s waiting grin, as well as Candy struggling not to giggle beside him. Even though he wasn’t given any context, Rusty already knew what he was being ordered to do. Just the act of uncrossing his legs caused him to groan briefly, and he shuddered from the extra titillation that came from his balls churning from Somber’s arousal. But alas, even with how humiliated he felt, Rusty Shield averted his eyes from the waiter as he turned his waist towards him. And with his legs widened apart, the cuckold cringed to himself when he silently exposed the puny micropenis above his swollen nuts.

“PBBTT!!~” Even in his professional attire, the waiter’s posh demeanor wasn’t enough to keep from breaking at the sight of that tiny dicklet. He even had to look away with a hoof over his mouth, and kept his eyes shut while struggling not to crack up. Rusty Shield’s head lowered in shame, even though his body was shaking from the strong bouts of titillation that came from Somber growing harder beneath the table. And to further intensify his embarrassment, Rusty could overhear many of the patrons giggling in response to the waiter’s undignified reaction.

“I-I’m sorry,” blurted the waiter apologetically, which gave Rusty just enough time to skew back into his seat to conceal his shameful excuse of an erection. “P-Please forgive that reaction,” he added, even though he had to take a couple breaths to keep from giggling to himself. “I-I’ll be sure to--”

“No, it’s no problem at all~” Somber made sure to interrupt the waiter and give an insistent look of sincerity. “In fact, it wouldn’t be an issue at all if you were to, I dunno… let that detail slip among your staff for a larger tip~”

The waiter’s brows raised in surprise, and his cheeks blushed deeply from such an unorthodox request. But after glancing back at the cuck, who couldn’t even speak up with his head lowered in shame, the stallion huffed with a sly smirk before shrugging his head. “Whatever you say, monsieur~”

After nodding to Somber and his mare, the waiter trotted away to leave them with their menus. Candy Heart was blushing hard as she shuddered to herself in excitement. “Oh, gosh~” Even though she kept herself silent during Somber’s confident domming display, the mare didn’t seem too upset as she fanned her face with a hoof. “Jeeze, could you imagine any of us doing this in public as ourselves? This is such a new experience for us~”

Rusty may have had his muzzle clenched in humiliation, but he couldn’t help smiling weakly when he saw how happy Candy looked beside her mate. Meanwhile, Somber Tone pulled her in even closer while eyeing Rusty maliciously. “I know, right?” he added with a lustful purr. “I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t fantasized about treating you like this in public for months now~”

With the way Somber’s grin widened on him, Rusty almost expected to see a pair of menacing fangs peek out from behind his upper lip. “Oh, really now?” asked Candy, who looked up at Somber with a piqued smirk. “Any specific ideas?~”

Rusty winced strongly, not wanting for her to add any fuel to Somber’s fire. Unfortunately, the tattooed stallion grinned more obscenely as he eyed Candy with a raised brow. “Are you sure to wanna hear?” he asked warningly. “Because I know for a fact that none of them could happen after today.”

“We’re just speaking hypothetically, honey~” Candy Heart stared back at her husband with a cocky smirk when she said that last emphasized word. “Besides, I’m curious to hear what a stallion like you fantasizes about~”

After taking a deep breath, Somber shrugged while eyeing Rusty intensely. “Well, if you insist…”

Rusty looked away from the table nervously, noticing just how many ponies were staring over at them. Fortunately, Somber made sure to keep his voice rather hushed as he leaned in close to the cuckold, and spoke across the table to him directly. “First of all… I would absolutely love to ravish my Princess in the middle of the Crystal Castle ballroom. Me in my regal cloak, and her wearing her fanciest jewelery. And even with all the Crystal Ponies around watching, they would be cheering me on as I fuck her like an animal and claim her from you~”

“Nnnnghhhh…” Rusty could only whimper to himself like a little wimp, and blushed deeply with a shameful squirm. Even though Somber remained firm in his seat, the churning pulsations Rusty felt from his balls made it clear that the Superior’s cock was just as rigid under their table. The implications of Somber’s fantasy sounded unbelievably terrifying, mostly since he could tell that he was speaking as Sombra with his sinister ideas. But much to Rusty’s horror, Candy was smiling up at him with an intrigued look while dragging a hoof up his muscular chest.

“And meanwhile,” continued Somber as he narrowed his eyes on Rusty, allowing his grin to grow as evil as he had during his own rule, “I would have you locked down in a pair of crystal stocks, and forced to watch while everypony mocks you for the pitiful excuse of a stallion you are. Naked. Divorced. And publicly stripped of all the reputation you carried before~”

Rusty was frozen in absolute terror, his pupils shrunken to the size of pin-pricks within his wide-open eyes. Somber’s intense stare, accompanied with that shameless grin, was more than enough proof that he truly meant that as something he would love to do to Shining someday. Unfortunately, despite how genuine his threatening ‘fantasy’ may have been, Somber tilted his head and added with a cheekier smirk, “Hypothetically, of course~”

“Yeah, I certainly hope so,” noted Candy Heart with a surprisingly insistent stare up at her mate. Even when the stallion tried to give a reassuring smile. The mare’s brow was firmly raised in suspicion. “I don’t need to get Twilight or Discord to intervene, should I?”

“Oh, don’t be so paranoid,” stated Somber as he tightened his grip around Candy’s back, and kept a warm smile on his muzzle. “I already told both of you multiple times, I have no interest in going back into politics. I just want to make our little bitch squirm a little~”

Given how sincerely he made that last comment, both Somber and Candy were left chuckling in one another’s embrace. Meanwhile, Rusty couldn’t help but linger on the stallion’s earlier statements, which sounded just as truthful when they came out of Somber’s grinning muzzle. Even though he wanted to desperately believe that Sombra wasn’t stupid enough to risk another beating from the Elements of Harmony, he couldn’t deny that he had already conquered more than his fair share in the bedroom. And considering what they were doing right now, Rusty could only gulp in worry of what his Superior might implement in the near future.

“Aha! Here we are~” The waiter returned to their table with a vintage bottle of Crystal Empire merlot, which would’ve likely given Shining a heart-attack if he read what the price was in the wine list. However, Rusty was too busy sighing in relief when the waiter came by to distract them. As the mustached stallion carefully poured a fresh glass for Somber, he used his magic to pour Candy Heart a glass of sparkling grape juice. “Have the three of you decided on anything to order?~”

“As a matter of fact, we have.” Somber retrieved Rusty’s menu before he could get the chance to read it, and kept a polite smile for their waiter. “I would like to have your lobster special, if that’s possible. Candy Heart here has been dying for some cheesy hay fries for the past week or so, so I think that’ll be a fitting appetizer for now. And for our little friend here…”

After motioning his head across the table to indicate Rusty’s blushed presence, Somber leaned in close to the waiter and whispered, “Do you happen to have a tablecloth we could borrow? I don’t want him making any big spills in such a high-end establishment, if you catch my drift~”

The waiter’s brows raised up for a moment, his muzzle skewed in silence. However, after taking a second to glance back at the balding pony squirming in his seat, the pony shrugged before writing their entries in his notebook. “You know what? As long as you’re not putting him in a bib and asking me to feed him, I’ll take your request.”

“Hmph~” Somber smirked with a respectful nod back at him. “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted by that idea~”

The flat stare from the waiter, as well as Candy Heart’s equally unamused expression, was enough to make Somber shrug in relent. As he handed the waiter their menus, he made sure to add, “Well, I suppose Rusty can have something from your kid’s menu. He is the one paying for it, after all~”

Rusty tried his hardest not to glare while brooding in his seat by himself. Meanwhile, Somber was able to get the waiter to chuckle a little with him after that remark. “Well, I’ll be sure to provide your table with whatever it needs~” To prove his point, the stallion stepped back before lighting up his horn, and conjuring up one of Somber’s requests with a flash of his magic: A large, lacey white tablecloth which was hovering in the unicorn’s aura. “Voila!~”

The waiter floated up their glasses and cutlery for a couple of seconds, and effortlessly draped the cloth over their booth setup. Even though many of the patrons were still stealing glances over at them, the underside of their table was soon covered by the lacey cloth that nearly touched the ground. Somber shot the pony a knowingly wide grin, and hoofed him another sizeable bag of Shining’s bits. “Thank you very much. And I hope that there won’t be too many questions, will there?~”

“Uhhhh…” The waiter’s smile dampened a little, as he looked between Somber and Rusty with a slightly uneasy expression. But after holding the heavy bag of bits in his hoof, the unicorn just shrugged and asked, “What questions? I’m just bringing you guys your lunch~”

“That’s the spirit~” With a thankful nod, Somber watched as the waiter trotted away to get their food prepared. When he looked back at Rusty, Somber swirled the expensive wine in his glass while shooting an obscenely wide grin. Candy Heart didn’t say anything while sipping on her overpriced juice, but she was smirking with just as much intrigue as her lover. Rusty’s eyes darted away from the table for a moment, his blush deepening as he realized what the cloth might be necessary for. And much to the pony’s dismay, many of the ponies staring over at them looked away the moment they met Rusty’s desperate gaze.

“Rusty?~” asked Somber in a slightly louder tone to catch his attention. “You seem a little bored right now. Might I give a suggestion for something you can do?~”

Since he already had a good idea what was going on, Rusty could only sigh with his eyes closed. Nevertheless, he still looked back at his Superior while Candy was giggling beside him. Somber Tone didn’t say anything, and merely leaned back while his mare reached a hoof down beneath the table. Even though the tablecloth was covering what she was doing, her fidgeting foreleg combined with Somber’s sharp grunts made it obvious what was going on.

“Nnnnnfffff~” Somber readjusted a little in his seat, and bit his bottom lip while shivering from the mare’s tender hoof. Meanwhile, Rusty ended up groaning just as blatantly, if not louder, as he felt a sharp sensation from his own member as well. Much like the thick, throbbing endowment of Somber’s that was being stroked so tenaciously, it seemed that Rusty’s swelling balls were pulsating at an equally steady rate. Even with the obvious leering eyes from other ponies in the restaurant, Rusty was left reeling with his hind-legs tightly crossed just beneath the tablecloth; however, even with his tiny little cock untouched, the cuckold could feel his balls churning more painfully with every heated throb they made between his thighs.

“I-Is something wrong, Rusty?~” Even with his lecherous grin, Somber’s tone was slightly jostled by Candy playing with his cock under the table. As her shoulder continued to move rhythmically for Rusty to see, Candy narrowed her eyes on him with a sly, teasing smile alongside her mate. She even made sure to lick her lips while jerking Somber off, clearly loving how much his arousal was making their cuckold writhe pathetically across the booth. Of course, Somber was able to conceal his arousal far greater than the pony they were tormenting. “Mmmmm… I bet you’re wishing she was touching you like this, huh?~”

Rusty winced a bit as he tried to take a deep breath, only to sound like a silent whimper as he remained frozen in his seat. But even with Candy staring him down with a shamelessly cheeky grin, the balding pony couldn’t help himself when he closed his eyes, and gave a sheepish nod of his head.

“Yeaaahhhh, I bet you do~” Somber let out a brief groan as he fidgeted in his seat a little. With that slight readjustment, Rusty’s ears twitched when he heard a faint thump beneath the table. He wasn’t sure if that was because of Candy’s hoof, or something more obvious hitting the underside of the table; but either way, Rusty still shuddered to himself as he struggled not to curl up into a little pent-up ball of frustration. Although, it would’ve been hard for Rusty to do that while Somber was grinning at him so blatantly. “Honestly though,” continued the stallion as he narrowed his eyes on Rusty, “I have a feeling that she’ll never want to touch you like that again~”

As soon as he saw how badly Rusty grimaced from his response, it was followed by a sharper moan as Somber’s cock throbbed in Candy’s hoof. The elation Somber felt from making Rusty so uncomfortable was immense enough to make him grip the table with both hooves, almost like he was about to cum right then and there. Fortunately, Candy’s strokes were slow enough to keep that thick, superior cock rock-hard as she continued teasing the shaft. Of course, even with how busy her hoof may have been, the mare made sure to shoot a grin of her own in Rusty’s direction, and shook her head in agreement to his cruel remark.

“Nnnnghh!!~” Rusty squirmed especially bad after seeing her response, unsure whether or not she was just playing along with the roles they had. But instead of thinking too hard about such a hypothetical, Rusty had to lurch his head down and grit his teeth from his own incessant arousal. His tiny little cock was twitching needily, but still remained the size of a candy corn atop his crotch; meanwhile just beneath that nub, Rusty’s balls had ballooned out to the size of a couple coconuts between his legs, and were continuing to throb the longer Somber remained erect. Even though he knew he had to get Somber off, he was clearly afraid to ask when he looked back at his tormentors with a heavy blush. “Wh… W-What do… d-do you want?”

“Mnnnghhhh…” Somber was getting just as riled-up while blushing across the cheeks, but he managed to keep himself still in his seat beside Candy. “Well, I… I wouldn’t mind getting a little relief from your muzzle beneath the table~”

Before Rusty could even cringe from the thought of submitting, Somber raised a hoof to add, “But! I’ll only accept that gesture if you’re willing to beg for it. Out loud. Like the pathetic little slut you know you are~”

Somber’s grin remained undeterred, even as he took another sip of his wine and stared down Rusty’s gaping jaw. Disguises or not, Rusty still looked unbelievably worried when he glanced around the restaurant again. Even with that tip Somber gave the waiter, he doubted that he could feasibly slip under the table without somepony informing management. But at the same time, as Somber’s cock drove him closer to testicular torment on his own end, Rusty wasn’t sure how much longer he could last without breaking. “Y… Y-You want me to beg?”

“Yes,” said Somber with an affirmative nod. “Out loud. Bonus points if you decree me as being better than you in every way~”

Candy Heart couldn’t help chuckling as she kept jerking the stallion off, and only replied with a shrug, “Agreed~”

Rusty wished more than anything that the waiter could come back, just for the fleeting glimpse of hope that their lunch would remain untarnished. But alas, when Rusty snuck a glance back at the doorway to the kitchen, he was dismayed to see their waiter laughing it up with several other of the restaurant’s staff. Realizing that his fate was still set, Rusty meekly looked back at the waiting stares from Somber and Candy. The mare slowed down her strokes, which provided Somber just enough composure to address their bitch properly. “Nnfff~ So, Rusty… Do you have anything to ask?~”

“Aaahhh!~” The balding pony could barely keep himself still, and brought down both hooves to needily clutch his swollen balls. Upon feeling how bulky and heavy they became, Rusty gasped in fear and blurted out, “P-Please, Somber!”

Candy quickly pulled her hoof away, leaving Rusty to receive all the weirded-out stares from patrons who overheard him. After an awkward bout of silence, which left Rusty cringing in wait for the ponies around them to resume their meals, Somber remained patient as he eyed him down. “Please Somber, what?~”

Rusty let out a long, defeated sigh before he lowered his head, and tried to speak at a normal speaking voice. “Please, Somber. I… I-I-I beg of you to…”

Rusty paused briefly enough, most likely to look over and see if any of the patrons were listening in. But after a sharp kick to the shin by Somber’s hoof, Rusty winced painfully and decided to keep his eyes on his Superior. “Urgh! Okay, okay… I… I beg of you to let me… s-suckyourcock…”

Somber and Candy Heart both snickered a little to how pathetically Rusty said that last part. “Oh, come on now! Nopony watching us is respecting you with that collar you have on. At least own up to being a little bitch~”

“Ugh!” Rusty knew he shouldn’t have groaned that strongly with an eyeroll, but he already knew he was in for it regardless. So instead of prolonging the inevitable, Rusty exhaled before staring directly at Somber. “Somber, I’m already aware that I’m a pathetic, measly little coward of a cuck! I’m pretty sure the fact that I allowed you to impregnate my wife is enough proof that I see you as the better stallion, alright?! You are! You’re better than me in almost every possible way, and I know that saying it outloud turns me on just as much as it does you hearing it! So unless you want to take me back outside, I kindly implore you to please, PLEASE give me the pleasure of sucking you off!”

Much to Somber and Candy’s surprise, who were left fairly wide-eyed on their end of the booth, it seemed that Rusty was able to give that impatient plea without raising his voice that boisterously. Even though most of the other ponies were staring over at them from their tables, it was hard to discern whether or not they heard most of what Rusty just said. Candy was the first to give a response, but it was a silent “Wow” that she mouthed out while looking away from the stallions. As for Somber, his grin couldn’t have been more elated as he stared at Rusty in utter awe. “Well, I must say… That’s definitely more confident than I would’ve expected~”

Since Candy was pulled away from him, and his cock was left unattended to, Somber merely spread his hind-legs apart while eyeing Rusty down. “Permission granted, Rusty~”

Rusty gave a strong stare around the restaurant, which caused many of the ponies to quickly look away and avoid being caught staring. As soon as he got most of the patrons to look elsewhere, Rusty instantly slipped under the table to be hidden beneath the tablecloth. Of course, even as Somber and Candy sat above in their seats, they could hear the hard gasp underneath them when Rusty was up-close to his Superior’s cock. Candy Heart nudged her mate from the side and whispered, “Yeah, I reacted like that last night too~”

Under the table, Rusty’s muzzle was left agape when he saw the thick, meaty cock that Somber was packing between his legs. Even though Sombra was well-endowed himself, it seemed that Discord provided some extra inches for Somber’s confident persona. Along with being insanely attractive and confident, Somber’s ebony cock extended out to well over thirteen inches in length. And even with Rusty’s balls swollen to a dangerous degree, Somber had a couple of plump balls the size of cantaloupes that were heavily draped over the bench seat.

Rusty tried to take a breath to prepare himself, but his lungs were immediately filled with the thick, unwavering musk of Somber’s cock that wafted off every inch of his sweaty length. Since the stallion didn’t shower that morning, Rusty was able to see the multiple beads of sweat lingering across his veiny shaft. And along with the heady aroma of musk that caused his nostrils to flare out, Rusty could also catch the distinct scent of Candy Heart’s arousal from the smeared remnants that lingered on Somber’s cock. By the time he finally breathed out with a shaky exhale, his eyes grew half-lidded while staring at the thick bulb of pre seeping at the flared cockhead.

“Hmph~” Somber eventually tried to speak down beneath the table, “You know, for someone who was so adamant about pleasuring me, you’re certainly taking your--MNNNGHHH!!!~”

Somber Tone instantly froze up, and caught Candy Heart by surprise as she stared at him wide-eyed. Meanwhile, Somber had to grip the table again, and groaned through his teeth when he felt those soft, supple lips wrapping around his head tightly. After a couple seconds of awkward groans and grimacing, Somber slowly relaxed as he closed his eyes, and sighed in sensual pleasure. “Aaaaaahhhh… That’s it~”

Meanwhile beneath the pleased couple, Rusty Shield was hunkered within the tight confines between Somber’s legs. Even though the only protection he had was a thin lacey cloth, that wasn’t enough to keep him from shoving Somber’s massive cock inside of his hungry maw. Rusty had his eyes tightly clenched shut, and he was trying his hardest to cram the thick, flaring cockhead past his lips without having it scrape against his teeth. Fortunately, due to the months of experience Shining carried when it came to fellacio, Rusty’s muzzle took to that daunting cock like it was nothing at all.

“Mmmmmm…” Despite how humiliating it should’ve been to suck the cock of a stallion who impregnated his former wife, Rusty’s only response was a deep and muffled moan the moment he tasted the rich musk against his tongue. His muzzle may have wrinkled a bit due to discomfort, but his nostrils continued to flare out as he inhaled more of Somber’s unwashed scent that overwhelmed his senses. The unbridled taste of testosterone-laden sweat, combined with the heavy spurts of pre that shot to the back of his throat, were more than enough to keep Rusty in place as he went to work servicing his Superior. His hooves may have been fidgeting in fear of being caught, but the increasingly painful pulsations from his balls were more notable as he tried to get Somber off as quickly as possible.

While the thick cockhead was still buried deep in his muzzle, one of Rusty’s hooves went up to vigorously stroke the remainder of Somber’s shaft that wasn’t past his lips. The stallion above may have been able to keep his composure before that point, even with his muzzle twitching badly enough to make Candy snicker beside him. However, the moment Rusty began to suck his head while frantically jerking the lower half of his cock, Somber could barely keep himself in his seat. Instead, the pony had to hold his face in his hooves while his elbows braced on top of the table. “MmmmnnnNNNNGHHH!!~”

Somber was left groaning under his breath while shivering in his seat, not even able to appreciate the leftover wine beside him. Meanwhile, Candy Heart just watched him with an entertained smirk as she sipped her sparkling grape juice. “I gotta say, it’s cute seeing you make those faces for a change~”

If Somber wasn’t too busy dealing with the titillation from his bitch under the table, he likely would’ve shot Candy an unamused glare. But since Rusty’s lips were tentatively sliding across his shaft with every alluring suckle, it was hard for Somber to even open his mouth without moaning. Even when some of the patrons were glancing over at their table (most likely guessing where Rusty was), Somber’s hooves had to cover his face as he blushed more notably. Fortunately for himself and the cuck under the tablecloth, Rusty’s sloppy suckles and heated breaths weren’t able to be heard by any of the nearby tables. Of course, the tablecloth did very little to cover the jingles of Rusty’s collar as his head moved back and forth.

“Nnnfffff~” Even though he was being forced to fellate Somber in such a precarious position, Rusty’s eyes eventually began to roll back the further he allowed that thick cock to slip past his lips. Trickles of drool were starting to seep from the corners of his muzzle, not that he seemed to notice while sucking Somber off between the jerks of his hoof. Due to how vigorously he was stroking Somber’s length, the Superior’s balls were soon dangling enticingly in front of Rusty’s face. Luckily, the cuckold was quick to take notice, and used his free hoof to gently caress those plump orbs to better assist in Somber’s climax.

“Nnnnghhh!!~” Somber’s back arched away from the back of his booth, and his eyes remained tightly clenched from the tantalizing pleasures left hidden beneath the tablecloth. Given how heated and riled-up Somber Tone was getting, his mare could only guess how badly Rusty was reeling in pent-up pleasure between the stallion’s legs. Luckily for Somber, his bitch’s overtitillated state wasn’t enough to keep those lips from slathering across more of his shaft. Nor was it enough to keep Somber’s thick, flaring cockhead to swell out the moment it slipped down Rusty’s throat.

By the time Rusty had a good portion of Somber’s cock stuffed in his mouth, he was no longer able to stroke the remaining length while his lips were inches from the base. So instead, Rusty tried to keep his eyes clenched shut, and used both hooves to knead at Somber’s balls to get him properly sated. He wasn’t able to see the look on Somber’s blushing face above the table, but he could feel how much the stallion’s body was contorting in his seat. Unfortunately, due to how much he was groaning and sucking loudly in his little space, Rusty couldn’t overhear the sound of hoofsteps as their waiter returned to their booth.

“Aha! Here we are…” The stallion was floating several plates in his magic, which kept him from seeing how badly Somber’s muzzle was skewed in titillation. Candy Heart was sitting still with a heavy blush, but tried to give a polite smile as she was given her cheesy hay fries. As for Somber Tone though, his cringingly tight smile was more than enough to catch the waiter’s attention. After placing a massive lobster tray in front of Somber, and a small kid’s meal in front of Rusty’s empty seat, he raised a brow as he asked, “Ummm… is there anything els--”

“N-NO!” blurted Somber as he tried to keep himself as inconspicuous as possible. Unfortunately, his clenching teeth and heavy blush were fairly large red flags as he tried to nod courteously to their waiter. “W-We’re fine,” he groaned through his forced smile, “j-just, ummm… a little leg-cramp, that’s all~”

Even if the waiter wasn’t able to hear the obvious suckling noises or bells jingling under the tablecloth, his narrowing eyes made it clear that he was growing suspicious. However, by that point in the awkward altercation, Rusty was desperately trying to bob his head up and down his Superior’s shaft, which caused the bulge of Somber’s cockhead to contort across his throat. In an effort to keep himself from being discovered, the cuck’s horn lit up so he could keep the bells around his collar from ringing incessantly. Rusty’s cheeks were growing a furiously deep shade of red due to oxygen deprivation, but that wasn’t enough to keep his hooves from tentatively kneading those heavy balls for added pleasure. And even as the sweat from Somber’s musky crotch smeared all over his muzzle, Rusty’s nostrils kept flaring out for more of that rich, heady scent of his Bull.

“Hmmmm…” Since the waiter wasn’t an idiot, his suspicious glare went down to the tablecloth concealing Rusty’s debaucherous deeds. Somber and Candy’s eyes widened in unison, although the former was already fidgeting quite a bit himself. However, since the waiter had already been tipped enough bits to cover his rent for the month, he merely rolled his eyes before leaving them be. “Hmph… Very well then…”

“Ohthankgod,” moaned Somber under his breath, before he clasped the edge of his table with both hooves and tensed up in preparation. As soon as the waiter stopped looking at them, Somber lurched his head forward and let out a deep, guttural groan. “NnnnnnNNNNNGHHH!!~”

Candy Heart couldn’t help using her magic to lift up part of the tablecloth, allowing her to get a sneak peek at Rusty’s incoming load. While the stallion’s food was left untouched, his eyes could be seen bulging open the moment Somber unloaded deep in his throat. Rusty’s lips pursed tightly around the girth of his Superior’s shaft, but Candy gasped with a hoof over her mouth when she saw how notably it was throbbing inside the cuck’s muzzle. Even though Rusty’s enamored groans were promptly muffled by the sheer amount of cock lodged in his throat, his whole body quivered each time he swallowed one of the many thick spurts of cum that shot down his gullet. Of course, even with how badly the cuck was trembling between Somber’s legs, it was a mere shadow compared to the intense response Somber gave during his climax.

“Aaaaahhhhh!!~” Even with a hoof over his mouth, Somber’s heated moan of pleasure could still be heard by at least half the restaurant’s distracted patrons. His hooves curled up tightly beneath the table, as his fur stood on end from the intense orgasm that swept throughout his body. Along with his limbs tensing up all at once, the stallion convulsed in the booth badly enough to look like he was suffering from a stroke. However, even as the stallion trembled with a lumbering moan, there was still a notable grin plastered across his face by the time he was finished. After almost a full minute of release, which resulted in enough of his load to bloat out Rusty’s empty stomach with cum, Somber Tone eventually relaxed in the booth once more. “Mnnnnghhh… Aaaaahhhh~”

Much like Somber Tone, Rusty Shield seemed far less stressed by the time that softening cock slipped out of his mouth. The cuck’s balls may have still been swollen, but they were slowly diminishing in size after sating Somber’s arousal. Even though his puny little nub hadn’t been able to spurt itself, Rusty couldn’t help sighing in relief as he felt that incessant pressure settling down between his hind-legs. Meanwhile, Somber’s thick, semi-flaccid member remained hanging lewdly before Rusty’s face, freshly coated in a thick sheen of the cuck’s saliva and remnants of his hefty load.

“Nnnff~” Candy Heart dropped the tablecloth back down, and nuzzled up close to her mate while taking a bite from her cheesy fries. “You feeling better, babe?~”

“Yes, quite a bit~” Somber leaned in to kiss Candy on the lips, even though Rusty was still under the table and unable to see them. However, while the couple continued to make out in the aftermath of Somber’s orgasm, neither of them were able to overhear the waiter’s voice calling out frantically, “W-Wait, sir! It’s not what it looks li--”

WHOOSH!!!

Despite how well Somber tried to pay the waiter off, it wasn’t enough to protect their table from the wrath of a short, pudgy unicorn who stormed up to their table in an ill-fitting suit. The stallion used his magic to immediately rip off the tablecloth, thankfully not disturbing any of the plates remaining on top. Unfortunately for Rusty, the manager’s sudden reveal left the balding cuck completely exposed as he sat under the table right beside Somber’s cock. And as the couple froze with shocked gasps, they were unheard in comparison to the round of appalled reactions when patrons saw Rusty post-blowjob under the booth.

While the manager stood with his jaw agape, Rusty tried to give the briefest smile while his face was matted in sweat and splatters of his Bull’s cum. “Uhhhh… Heh heh heh… O-Oops?~”

Chapter Five: A Royally Shocking Appearance

View Online

In less than five minutes, the three were back out on the streets after their lunch was rudely interrupted. Rusty, still in his collar and leash, had his head hung low in shame while cringing silently. Beside the cuck was Somber, who was brooding to himself bitterly while walking away from the restaurant. Meanwhile, Candy Heart seemed the least upset as she trotted alongside them; of course, that was most likely because unlike the stallions, she was able to keep her lunch in a to-go container. “Mmm! I have to say, that place really knows how to make cheesy fries!~”

Rusty and Somber Tone shared a look, but neither of them said much about Candy Heart leaving the restaurant practically scott-free. Even though the manager was able to believe the official notice’s authenticity, he still promptly kicked the group out for violating several health codes. Candy Heart was gracious enough to keep her food, but Somber was left staring at her container enviously. “Jeeze, how come you got to keep your fries, but I couldn’t take my lobster?! You know how much that costed me?!”

“I certainly did,” muttered Rusty under his breath, his expression much more morose since he still had to cover their bill.

“Well, it’s not like you’re the pregnant one among us~” Candy Heart shot both stallions a confident smirk while munching on more of her hay fries. “Besides, it was you two who got caught, remember?~”

Somber could’ve pointed out how she was literally right beside them, and even helped with her hoofwork before Rusty got under the table. But instead, the stallion just sighed with a roll of his eyes. “Well… I suppose it is nice he gave you an exception. Especially with our little foal on the way~”

Somber and Candy smiled at one another warmly, looking like a legitimate couple with how openly they were able to discuss their upcoming child in public. Meanwhile, Rusty Shield could only stay silent as he looked up at them with a wince. Even though their behavior was leaving him worried, Rusty knew he couldn’t blame the two for embracing the freedoms of anonymity. Not to mention, focusing on them was preferable to overhearing the gasps and giggles from ponies they walked past.

“Since we’re able to talk about this openly,” noted Somber Tone, who grew a more intrigued grin on his mare, “I was curious as to what you would want to name our child~”

Rusty’s ears perked up, and he grew more cautious as he eyed Somber from the side. While talks about Cadance’s foal have been discussed in private amongst all three of them, it was implied early on that Shining would have the chance to name the foal. But as of now, Candy Heart merely hummed to herself in thought to Somber’s choice of topic. “Hmmmm… Well, I’m pretty sure we can’t get away with naming him ‘Sombra Junior’ or anything~”

Rusty cringed hard, and frantically looked around to make sure none of the crystal ponies heard that. But much to his dismay, it seemed that ponies were more focused on him than the couple’s discussion. Meanwhile, Somber just shrugged his shoulders with an accepting nod.

“Don’t worry, I wasn’t thinking of something that clichèd,” he noted with a smirk. “Although, I wouldn’t mind having something crystal-based in the name, you know? Maybe a more masculine variant of Ruby or something.”

“What’s the matter?” Candy shot a snarky grin back at Somber and asked, “You’re worried about your son having a feminine name? A lot has changed over the past millennium, you know~”

“Hey, I just don’t want him to be bullied in school or anything!”

“Honey, he’s going to be raised under Royalty! As a Prince!” With that point, Candy eyed him with both brows raised. “Heck, we could name him ‘Fruity Patooty Princess,’ and he wouldn’t have much issue.”

“Hmph…” As Somber scoffed with his muzzle pointed away from her, he glanced over at Rusty to see him struggling not to snicker. Even though Candy’s remark dampened his smile, he was quick to revive it while staring down at his little bitch. “Oh, you think that’s funny, Rusty? Perhaps I should legally have your name changed after we turn back to ourselves~”

Rusty Shield jolted with a shocked look, with his face paling in response to Candy’s amused snickering. “Oh, don’t be so bitter,” she said with a comforting smile towards Somber. “We still have plenty of time to think of baby names before he’s born.”

“Still it wouldn’t hurt to discuss it sooner than later.” When Somber Tone redirected his attention towards her, he tried to say pointedly, “I mean, have you thought about what Celestia might ask us?”

“About what I might ask you?”

All three ponies stopped their trot, and froze in place upon hearing that all-too familiar voice. Even with Discord’s warning remark in his letter, none of the ponies were prepared when they found themselves face-to-face with Princess Celestia. The regal Princess was standing between two of her Royal Guards, and was shooting a peculiar look at them with a raised brow. Both of her Guards had befuddled stares of their own, but it was mostly towards Rusty Shield and his demeaning leash.

Candy Heart was stunned silent, her blush nearly glowing as she stared up at her Aunt in absolute terror. Even though she was able to conceal her expression as best as she could, the same couldn’t be said for Rusty with his face a deathly pale. Even Somber Tone looked worried, as he tried to give an innocent smile to the Princess while holding the bitch’s leash. None of the three could say anything for a moment, which prompted Celestia to break the awkward silence first. “So… I have a feeling this wasn’t something that was meant to happen right now~”

Unlike the group before her, Celestia didn’t seem too flustered or embarrassed as she chuckled from her own remark. Her Guards may have looked uneasy, but neither of them spoke up while staring at Rusty and Somber in particular. Candy Heart tried to hang her head away from her Aunt’s line of vision, just in case the Alicorn was able to look past Discord’s disguise and see who was truly underneath. Fortunately, even with how revealing the three may have looked, Celestia kept a cordial smile like nothing was amiss. “Oh, my apologies,” she said with a friendly wave of her hoof. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything, errr… personal between you guys.”

“Oh! Well, ummmm…” Since Candy was too shell-shocked to address Celestia herself, Somber Tone quickly snatched the official notice from her purse to present to the Princess. “Here you go, your Highness. I apologize for the embarrassment, but this was officially granted by your niece and nephew-in-law themselves…”

Celestia took the letter with her magic, and narrowed her eyes while reading through the parchment. Meanwhile, Somber’s eyes widened as he looked back at Rusty, and shot him a more menacing grin. Rusty’s pupils could be seen shrinking in horror, clearly catching the implication that his Bull was revealing through his glare. By the time the cuck was able to glance back at his Aunt-in-Law, she was humming to herself curiously after reading through the notice. “Well then… I have to remind myself to ask Cadance about this when she returns from Canterlot.”

Since she had lived over a millennium without pause, Celestia didn’t seem too weirded-out when she returned the notice to Somber Tone. “Still though, I’m happy to hear she’s implementing that relationship therapy program. She mentioned it to me before, but I wouldn’t have guessed it would be used like this~”

“Yeah, I suppose we are pretty lucky, aren’t we?~” Somber Tone gave a more natural smile to the Princess, and shrugged his shoulders lightheartedly. Since it seemed that Celestia was buying their facade, even Candy Heart was able to lift her head back up to stare at her. Fortunately, Somber kept the Princess’ attention as he extended out his hoof politely. “The name’s Somber Tone, your Highness. The circumstances might not be appropriate, but it’s still a pleasure to meet you~”

“Likewise, Mister Tone…” Celestia shook the stallion’s hoof, her smile remaining surprisingly calm before the three. Even if she wasn’t aware that she was shaking the hoof of a former enemy, the fact that he was holding Rusty by leash was making the Guards stare at their Princess in shock. However, Celestia was quick to take notice of Somber’s companions as well. “So, if I may ask… What exactly are your relations to one another?”

Candy Heart and Rusty Shield froze up, not expecting the Princess to ask a question so blunt. And much to Rusty’s lament, Somber gave him a hard nudge with his elbow before stating, “Rusty… Go ahead and tell her~”

Rusty gawked up at his Superior, clearly shocked that Somber would keep this going before Celestia herself. But the instant he saw the Bull’s wide, domineering grin on him, Rusty closed his eyes with a painful sigh. Candy Heart looked equally as worried as the cuck, but she kept her muzzle shut to avoid catching Celestia’s curious gaze. Because of that, Rusty had to take a breath before looking up at the Princess, internally cringing when he saw her waiting smile. “Yes?”

“Uhhhh…” Much like his former wife, Rusty Shield was equally as worried that Celestia might see past their disguises. But after seeing how nonjudgmentally she was smiling at him, the cuckold could only gulp while tugging at the side of his collar. “W-Well, ummm… I’m… I’m Candy Heart’s husband, a-and… Somber Tone is her boyfriend…”

Rusty closed his eyes with a pained wince, which was exasperated when he overheard both of Celestia’s Guards chuckling to themselves. Unfortunately, Somber pulled the cuck in close to his side and added, “Oh, he’s being too modest, your Highness. I’m also the proud father of Candy Heart’s upcoming foal. As per his request~”

Rusty couldn’t hang his head while Somber was clutching him so tightly, which meant he was forced to see Celestia’s bemused-looking smile. However, when the Princess glanced over at the embarrassed mare in question, all that Candy could do was look away from her and nod her head sheepishly. “Uhhh… Y-Yeah…” She was trying to smile timidly, but it was obvious that Candy was internally freaking out about being this open before her Aunt. “W-We… We kinda have a weird relationship going on between us three.”

“Oh, it’s perfectly fine,” assured Celestia with another wave of her hoof, much to the surprise of her two Guards. Even with how pathetic Rusty looked with his leash and shaven head, Celestia was treating his presence like it was nothing new. “I’ve lived a long life, and I’ve seen my share of ponies with unusual bonds. Heck, this doesn’t even hit my top ten for this century.”

“Wait, seriously?!” Somber was staring at her in legitimate shock. After looking back at his lover and cuck, the stallion blinked a couple times before muttering to himself, “Jeeze, I need to step up a bit…”

Celestia actually giggled a little to that remark, and gave a light shrug of her shoulders. Before Candy or Rusty could try to shut the stallion up, their attention was brought back to the Princess as she spoke once more. “Actually, if I were to be perfectly honest… the three of you remind me quite a bit of some ponies in my personal life~”

“W-WHAT?” asked Rusty and Candy at the same time, their eyes as wide as frisbees.

“Oh, well I shouldn’t say too much about that~” Celestia didn’t seem too deterred by the ponies’ shocked stares on her, and just gave a dismissive wave of her hoof. “Plus, it’s nothing too similar from what I’ve seen. I just find the dynamic of you three to be a little… familiar, that’s all…”

Celestia made sure to give a particularly focused stare on Candy Heart after that remark, leaving the pregnant mare completely stunned and unable to speak. But instead of saying anything more, the Princess left the three be as she continued on her way. “Anyway, it’s been quite refreshing to see something like this on my day-trip. I was hoping to meet up with Shining and Cadance today, but… Well, I can’t say I’m entirely disappointed from what I’ve found instead~”

Just as she walked past the three, Celestia gave Rusty Shield a wink that her Guards weren’t able to see. And while the cuck was left frozen in shock, neither he or the others could say anything while the Princess trotted off elsewhere. Even when she disappeared from sight, the three ponies remained standing in place while letting that moment sink in. None of them were sure what exactly happened, or what specifically may have been ruminating in Celestia’s head. But by the time they were able to recompose themselves, Somber Tone was the first to grow a piqued smirk across his muzzle. “Well then!~”

He pulled in Candy and Rusty with both hooves, and hugged them tightly as he said with a grin, “Be honest, guys… how does it feel to be more truthful to your Aunt?~”

“Nnnghh!!” Candy Heart pulled away from Somber, and looked down to the ground before shuddering uncomfortably. “Ughhh… Goddess I hope she wasn’t screwing with us.”

“Yeah, I know…” Rusty Shield looked just as frazzled as the mare, and closed his eyes while shivering to himself. “Jeeze, that was intense...”

Even though he could tell that both ponies were overwhelmed by Celestia’s presence, Somber remained rather chipper as he replied, “You know what? I couldn’t agree more~”

Chapter Six: Fun on the Dancefloor

View Online

By the time night fell upon the Crystal Empire, Candy Heart was able to recompose herself well enough to do one last outing in her temporary form. Even though Rusty was worn-down, he wasn’t able to dismiss Candy’s request to do something she was never able to try as Princess: Clubbing.

As the three trotted towards the Crystal Empire’s hottest night club -- The Emerald Bar, as it was called -- Candy Heart and Somber Tone looked exceptionally well together. Even with her pregnant belly, Candy looked absolutely ravishing in her dark blue cocktail dress. Meanwhile, Somber Tone decided to wear a tight black tanktop, which further accentuated his tattooed muscles as they beaded in sweat. Even though he still smelled ripe of musky testosterone, Somber didn’t seem the least-bit worried while looking like a model alongside his mare; not to mention, Somber didn’t smell nearly as bad as Rusty, whose face was still matted with the crotch-sweat and cum he was forbidden from wiping from his fur.

“Nnnnghhh…” As Rusty walked behind the couple, his bright pink collar still jingling between steps, he was wearing a bright blue polo shirt which made his accessory stand out even more. As he tried to ignore the various stares he was getting, both from his leash and his embarrassing manecut, his muzzle tightened while seeing how closely Candy and Somber were nuzzling one another. Although, given how attractive both of the ponies looked in their new bodies, he couldn’t necessarily blame them for admiring one another like a lovestruck couple of teens. Plus, his measly little nub of an erection was still twitching antsily against his swelling balls.

“Mmmmm… Oh, you have no idea how badly I want to take you out on that dance floor~” As the nightclub came within sight, Somber couldn’t keep himself from kissing the nape of Candy’s neck. The pregnant mare giggled with a blush, not minding the weird looks they were getting from ponies waiting in line outside the venue. Instead, Candy Heart paused for a moment to stare lovingly up at the stallion, and rubbed one of his muscular forelegs with her hoof. Meanwhile, Somber narrowed his eyes on her with an eager grin and added, “You know you want me to do that~”

“Honestly, I wouldn’t mind with how we look right now~” To prove her point, Candy Heart lit up her horn, and caused a few ponies nearby to gasp when they saw her aura ruminating between Somber’s legs. As the stallion groaned with a heavy shudder, Rusty cringed badly as he felt his own balls churning badly in tandem. Eventually, Somber’s thick, ebony cock was left hanging semi-flaccidly out in the open, and boasting a girth that would leave most normal-sized stallions green with envy. By the time Somber was finished shivering in arousal, Candy leaned in close to his face with a hungry grin of her own. “Of course… we could always wait until a more dangerous time to try something that bold between us~”

Somber and Rusty’s eyes widened at the same time, although their reactions were vastly different. While Rusty looked downright appalled by such a thoughtlessly stupid idea, Somber’s face lit up like a Hearth’s Warming tree. “Oh, really now?~” he asked with a more lecherous tone as he leaned in closer to her. “Just to avoid any misunderstandings… Are you implying that you approve of what I discussed back at the restaurant?~”

“Weeeellllllll…” With her brief pause, Candy Heart looked back at Rusty with a peculiarly silent smirk. While the cuckold was left standing with a horrified look on his face, the mare huffed before looking back at their Bull. “Maybe not the stuff involving him, but… I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in pushing our limits a little after this~”

With the way Rusty’s face dropped, it seemed that he was already expecting to be given much worse decrees by his Superior the moment they turn back to normal. But for now, all he could do was try to pull his jaw up from the floor, while Somber said with a lustful growl, “Oh, my sweet little mare… I fully intend to push those limits~”

Instead of warning the stallion for his ominously-worded remark, Candy just reached down to grasp his shaft with a hoof. Meanwhile, her eyes remained hungrily pinned up at him as she said in response, “Good~”

Even though there was a sizable line of ponies outside the nightclub nearby, the couple went into another heated makeout session with Rusty standing beside them. As the balding cuck lowered his head in shame, even the jingling of his collar’s bells weren’t enough to cover the excited whoops and cheers he heard from the crystal ponies nearby. Candy was clearly loving the attention she was getting, and purposely moaned out between the sloppy smacks of her lips against Somber’s. Meanwhile, Somber made sure to reach down as well, and gently petted the mare’s pregnant belly while claiming her as his own. “Mmmmmmm…”

As the two received yelps of praise from the ponies watching them, Rusty had to hold his official notice in his hoof in case any more Guards tried to confront them. Fortunately, by the time Candy and Somber finished, with the stallion’s cock standing rather notably beneath his barrel, the three got back to their trek after a hard tug on Rusty’s leash. As the group went up to the club’s main entrance, eliciting many snickers from ponies seeing Rusty upclose, Somber took the notice so he could present it to the burly bouncer outside the front doors. The massive stallion narrowed his eyes disapprovingly at the three, mostly since he saw how lewdly the couple were acting earlier. However, the bouncer remained silent while reading through the letter Somber handed him. “I know this is a little unorthodox,” noted Somber as he motioned to the pregnant mare and balding bitch standing beside him, “but considering how this is part of Princess Cadance’s relationship therapy, I figured this could be a fun outing to embarrass Rusty a bit~”

Rusty winced with his ears hung low, but he couldn’t ignore the judgmental stare the bouncer was laying on him. After glossing through the details of that blasted notice, the pony shrugged before returning the letter. “Eh, you know what?” The bouncer opened the velvet rope for the three to enter, ignoring the round of frustrated groans from the long line of ponies beside him. “I was planning to quit this job anyway, so who gives a shit? Just don’t start any fights, alright?”

“That’s more than fair,” said Somber thankfully, and hoofed the bouncer a large sack of bits before leading the way. Candy tried not to look over at the many, many glares from the line of ponies still outside the building. Fortunately, it seemed that Rusty received the brunt of their frustration as a couple empty beer cans were chucked at him. One of the cans hit him in the back of the head, and spilled stale beer on his shirt before he could even enter the club. Of course, considering the fact that he was still leashed in Somber’s grip, a little beer stain was the least of his worries.

As soon as the group entered the Emerald Bar, all of them winced from the loud, hard-thumping club music that blasted from the walls of speakers all around. Not to mention, the nightclub’s lighting was purposely dim, so that the blacklight setup could properly illuminate the space in a wild and vibrant glow. Many of the ponies on the dancefloor were lit up at various parts from their bright-colored clothing, or the various white accessories that stood out like beacons in the dark space. Unfortunately, when Candy Heart and Somber Tone looked back at their bitch, both of them laughed out-loud when they saw Rusty’s face light up tremendously under the blacklights.

Even though he thought he had wiped away Somber’s cumshots from earlier, bright white splatters were plastered across Rusty Shield’s muzzle as evidence of his dirty deeds. The cuck’s exposing illumination was quickly noticed by many of the other dancers, who either gasped or laughed at his embarrassing reveal. Even though the banging dubstep was loud enough to cover his bell-laden collar, Rusty still cringed in humiliation nonetheless.

“Ooh!~” Candy’s voice could barely be heard over the thundering music, but her excited smile made her teeth shine brightly under the blacklights. She quickly grabbed Somber with a hoof, and pulled him towards the dancefloor. “I haven’t heard this song in ages! Come on!”

Even though he couldn’t hear his mare too well, Somber Tone followed her while keeping hold of Rusty’s leash. The cuckold was left stumbling in tow as his collar jingled loudly, and he was forced to get up close with dozens of ponies staring at him in amusement or disgust. Many of the dancers backed away from the cum-splattered stallion, almost as if he was radioactive or something. Luckily for the couple he was leashed to, Rusty’s presence helped for Candy Heart and Somber to dance with the same amount of passion they carried at the Canterlot Garden Social.

The electronic music was playing in tandem with the impressive lights shimmering from up above. Meanwhile, Candy and Somber held each other close as they stood on their hind-legs, and danced bipedally with their hips tightly against one another. Rusty Shield tried to dance alongside them, mostly to distract himself from the countless stares he felt on him; but alas, his movements were absolutely pathetic as he awkwardly moved his four legs off-tempo to the music. Plus, when he made the mistake of looking around, Rusty saw many of the club-goers staring at him like he was a leech beside the happy couple.

“Mmmm!!~” Candy wrapped her forelegs around Somber’s back, and began to kiss him deeply in the middle of the dancefloor. Somber was quick to return the gesture, and dominantly kissed her back while groping her ass for everyone to see. Since Rusty’s leash was tightly wrapped around the Bull’s hoof, the cuck was pulled in closer to the couple like a pervy voyeur. With his muzzle less than a foot from Somber and Candy’s swaying hips, his eyes widened when he saw the stallion’s rigid cock nestling itself tightly between Candy’s thighs.

Before Rusty could look around in a panic, he was forced to get an up-close look as Somber’s cockhead disappeared from sight. Even as the ponies continued to make out on the tightly-packed dancefloor, Candy’s enamored moans were luckily cut off while her muzzle was connected to his. Since the two were standing so close to one another, and neither of them were wearing any underwear, the only evidence of them doing anything raunchy was the front of Candy’s dress pulling up a little. Because of their close proximity, Somber didn’t hesitate as he slyly maneuvered his cock into the mare’s waiting slit.

“MMMMPHHH!!~” Candy Heart’s kissing grew more intense, and Rusty shuddered when he felt his balls swelling out just as badly as they did in the restaurant. Somber Tone held onto the mare tightly, and groaned into her muzzle as he gave an enthusiastic thrust of his hips. Rusty couldn’t see just how deeply he was penetrating her out in the open, but it was more than enough for him to overhear Candy’s muffled moans up above. If it wasn’t for his own presence to serve as a distraction, Rusty wasn’t sure if the couple could’ve gotten away with such a blatant move in front of so many ponies. But since the music was still going, and the dancefloor was tightly packed with dancers all around them, nothing seemed to stop the two from going into full-blown coitus on their hind-legs.

Somber’s hoof tightened on the leash as he shoved more of his cock inside of Candy, which caused Rusty to be pulled in even closer between them. As his muzzle was helplessly pinned close to their connecting bodies, his nostrils flared out when he caught the rich, unmistakable scent of Somber’s musk combining with Candy’s arousal. Even though the blacklight was able to show Rusty’s bodily fluids, Candy Heart’s dripping pussy didn’t leave any evidence as trickles went down the inside of her legs. And even with how precariously Rusty was pinned between the two, his eyes guiltily closed as he took deep, shaky breaths of their scents combining in a pure sexual aroma.

“Nnnnnghhhh…” Rusty knew that his little member couldn’t be tended to, but that didn’t stop the nub from twitching enviously each time he caught a deep breath between them. By that point, Somber was beginning to pick up a rhythm as he gave hard, discreet thrusts of his hips close against Candy Heart’s body. The mare continued to moan deeply, but her sloppy makeout session with Somber helped to conceal her boisterous noises beneath the thumping music. For most of the other club-goers, all that they saw was a hot couple making out on the dancefloor; although, they were also able to see what looked to be some creepy older guy hunched between them by a leash.

Rusty tried his hardest to overcome his own embarrassment, and just appreciate the moment as best as he could in his situation. After all, considering everything they got away with, it wasn’t like he was too worried about being exposed in any headlines the next morning. And even with all the judgmental stares he could feel from all around, he was currently right in the middle of one of Cadance’s deepest fantasies. Even out in public for everypony to see, the Princess could indulge with the Superior stallion in all of his buff, well-endowed glory.

In accompaniment with Candy’s hungry moans of pleasure, Somber was growing more pent-up as he thrusted harder against her. Rusty couldn’t get a good look at the mare’s backside, so he had no idea how obvious it was that she was being fucked on her hind-legs from behind. But even with Somber picking up the pace, which caused Rusty to grimace from the discomfort from his own balls, none of them were confronted while the Bull had his way with the pregnant mare. However, despite how loud and distracting the club music may have been, Rusty could overhear some of the dancers behind him while he was hopelessly pinned between the couple.

“Eww! What’s that bald guy doing?!”

“Is he on a leash?”

“Jeeze, what a pervert.”

“Do they even know what he’s doing?!”

“Honestly, I don’t think I wanna know what he’s doing…”

If Rusty wasn’t too lost in the guiltily hot moment of voyeurism, or the pulsating pain of his balls growing more pronounced with every throb of Somber’s cock, he likely would’ve taken some of those demeaning statements as a warning. But alas, since the cuck couldn’t exactly pull away from his leash, he was forced to clench his eyes and suck in deep breaths of Somber and Candy’s sensual pleasure. Much like Somber, who was somehow discreetly pounding the mare in the middle of the dancefloor, Rusty’s hips could be seen convulsing in an effort to give his puny dicklet some attention. Unfortunately, his pathetic attempts of sating himself only made the ponies around them more unnerved in response.

“Oh, gross! He’s humping the air!”

“Wait, is he even hard?! I can’t see a dick on him!”

“Maybe he’s impotent or something.”

“No, he’s just a fucking creep!”

“Hey, dude! Get away from them, you’re weirding everypony out!”

“W-Whuh?” Due to how heavily his mind was clouded in shameful pleasure, Rusty’s eyes opened half-lidded from the annoyed voices behind him. But much to the ponies’ displeasure, his hips were still thrusting alongside the hard motions of Somber’s body connected with Candy’s. The couple were still making out lewdly, seemingly too lost in each other’s embrace to realize how badly Rusty was being accosted beside them. And since Somber was growing close to climaxing inside of her, it was doubtful he would’ve really cared regardless.

“HEY! What in Tartarus are you doing?!”

“Yeah, get away from her!”

“I’m getting security!”

“I SAID GET OFF OF THEM!”

Even with the leash still connected to Somber’s hoof, Rusty’s presence was uncomfortable enough for one of the dancers to grab hold of his hind-legs with their magic. Rusty gasped in terror as he was pulled away from the couple, only to be left hanging by his collar. Due to Somber’s tight grip, the cuck was still helplessly stuck in place with his snout right between their waists. And due to the club’s inadequate lighting, most of the ponies on the dancefloor most-likely assumed he was just trying to stay wedged between them.

“I SAID GET OFF!!” The unknown voice behind Rusty grew more agitated as they tried to pull him harder, only to make his hooves dangle off the dancefloor. Rusty’s eyes widened dreadfully, but he wasn’t able to speak up about what was really going on. Meanwhile, Candy Heart was openly moaning out the moment she pulled her muzzle away from Somber’s, and clutched his back tighter in anticipation. The two ponies were now openly fucking in plain view, with no way of being able to conceal themselves if they tried; however, all the focus was now solely on Rusty as his predicament grew more dire with each passing second.

“ALRIGHT, THAT’S IT!!”

SMASH!!!

Rusty had no idea who actually struck him in the back of the head with a beer bottle, nor did either of the ponies who reached the peaks right beside him. But as the cuckold was knocked out cold from that uncivil strike, the last thing he was able to hear among the thundering club music were the unified moans of Somber and Candy Heart as they continued humping in each other’s sweet embrace…

Chapter Seven [Ending]: Shining's Personal Gift

“Mnnnnghhh… Wh… What the…”

Shining Armor slowly reopened his eyes, and needed a moment to reassess himself with a blistering headache. When he brought up one of his hooves, he quickly felt the thick bandages that were covering the top of his head. He was too drained to gasp in shock or pull himself up, so he was forced to lay in place while groaning deeply, and slowly adjusted to the morning light. By the time he was able to look around his surroundings, he was surprised to find that he was back in his lavish Royal bedroom.

For a moment, Shining pondered whether or not everything that he experienced was all part of some sick, highly-detailed dream. However, as soon as he touched the back of his head, the stallion winced painfully upon feeling where that beer bottle hit him. When he was finally able to sit up, he was able to find that he was back on his couch with a blanket over his lap. Just as his hind-legs touched the floor, and he was sitting upright in his seat, Shining had to clutch his head with both hooves to better deal with his headache. “Ughhh… Oh, what the buck happened last night?”

“Ah! I see you’re awake~”

“GAAAHHH!!!” Shining jolted with a terrified yelp when he realized he wasn’t alone in the room. The very moment he looked up, he was horrified to find Discord standing right in front of him. The draconequus was wearing a skimpy nurse’s uniform, and had some sloppily-done clown makeup over his face. As he stared down at Shining, Discord gave an awkward-looking smile while showing his yellowed teeth.

“Hiiiiii…” If Shining was aware of the reference, he likely would’ve found Discord’s getup to be slightly humorous. However, it was obvious that Discord only did the Joker bit for his own amusement. “I’m guessing you’re not wanting a sponge-bath, do you?”

“Ugh!” Shining reeled away from Discord with a tired groan, and went back to rubbing his head. “Oh, Goddess… That wasn’t a dream, was it?”

“I’m afraid not,” noted Discord, who was suddenly back in his regular form like Shining was. “You were knocked unconscious, so Cadance brought you back to the castle to recuperate. I agreed to oversee your health to ensure there was no permanent damage.”

Shining was finding it hard to concentrate, but he heard enough of Discord’s statement to nod thankfully. He took a moment to pull the blanket from his lap, hopeful to see his stallionhood back to a serviceable size for a change; unfortunately, Discord made sure to strap his plastic chastity cage back on, ensuring that he was never able to cum during his ordeal. Even though he wasn’t surprised, Shining still sighed and covered his face with a hoof. “Well, I should’ve figured that one…”

Discord may have been grinning to himself, but he made sure not to snicker too audibly to further upset Shining. When the stallion finally looked back up at him, he tried to ask, “So, uhhh… what happened with Cadance and Sombra?”

“I’m glad you asked,” noted Discord with a prideful grin. “Well, after you were knocked out, the two were quick to leave the club and made sure you got some proper medical attention. And since you’re just as important to your guys’ relationship, Sombra insisted on ending the alternate identities a little earlier than expected. After bringing you three back here, I tended to your wounds while they had a little calming romp in the bed~”

Shining blinked a couple times, and then glanced over at the unkempt bed that was now left empty. Since the blankets were sprawled out differently than before, he didn’t need to get off the couch to tell that Discord was telling the truth. However, that didn’t keep him from glancing back at the draconequus confusedly. “Wait, they… they actually had sex while you were here?!”

“Shining,” stated Discord flatly, “I’ve literally seen everything before. I wasn’t bothered by their presence, and I kept myself invisible so they wouldn’t be deterred by my own.”

“Oh…” Shining wanted to ask more about all that happened, but he eventually just sighed before nodding his head in acceptance. He then grew a weak, albeit courteous smile when he looked up at Discord and said, “Well, ummm… I really appreciate you helping me like that. Thank you.”

“It’s no problem at all,” assured the draconequus with his lion’s paw raised in sincerity. “Considering how badly I’ve acted in my past, as well as the end result of my experimental fun with you three, it was only fair to give my assistance.”

To add to his apology, Discord kept a smirk on his fanged muzzle as he brought up his avian claw. “And! I happen to have a special gift for you, Shining Armor. Think of this as a reward for putting up with my actions, both for yesterday and errr… previous instances....”

The draconequus snapped his claw, conjuring up a small scroll with a puff of magic. Shining instinctively reeled back from that sheet in worry, not wanting to be given another sick decree like before. Fortunately, Discord was quick to say insistently, “It’s quite alright, Shining! I promise you, this isn’t anything bad. I think you’ll actually appreciate I did this for you…”

Discord unrolled the small parchment, and presented it to Shining so he could read through it himself. When the stallion hesitantly took the paper, he leaned forward on the couch so he could read it in silence. Even with his headache, Shining was able to read through the small decree without any issue. And because of that, Discord smiled when Shining gasped from the gift he was presented with:

Shining Armor,
I just want you to know that while I escorted Flurry Heart to Canterlot yesterday, I took the liberty of placing a small enchantment on her. PLEASE KEEP READING!
Okay, now that you’re not trying to kill me, I should clarify that the enchantment isn’t anything bad. All that I did was give Flurry a permanent reminder of what she already knows to be true: You will always be considered to be her Father, regardless of anything Cadance or Sombra might try. In addition, Sombra will never be seen as a Father figure in Flurry Heart’s eyes or conscience. This will never be changed, and I’ll do everything in my power to ensure that you’ll have that peace of mind. I already consulted with Cadance about this measure earlier this morning, and she wholeheartedly agreed it was in Flurry’s best interest, as well as your own.
Sombra is unaware of this detail, but I wanted you to know for yourself as a sense of security. And while we’re on the topic, I should tell you that Sombra felt incredibly guilty for getting you knocked unconscious at that nightclub. Hopefully he’ll apologize to you himself, but I just wanted you to know he was sorry just in case.
In addition, I feel that I should apologize myself; not just for yesterday (although I have a feeling you secretly enjoyed it~), but for my previous actions that impacted you and your family. I know that things are getting better between us, but I truly want to be a better being for everypony in Equestria. And no matter what may happen between you, Sombra, and especially Cadance, I promise I’ll always be available if you three need any help.
Sincerely,
Discord

“W… W-Wow…” Shining needed a moment while re-reading through the letter a few times, and eventually grew a touched smile in response to Discord’s generous deed. Regardless of everything that’s happened, or whatever might occur in the near future, that assurance from the draconequus actually helped to alleviate Shining’s worries tremendously. The stallion’s muzzle trembled a bit as he wiped a tear from his face, and he sniffled from the thoughtful present he was happy to receive. “I… I don’t know what to say. Thank you so--”

By the time Shining tried to look back up, his apology was cut short when he found himself alone in the room again. Discord had seemingly vanished into thin air, leaving the Private to sit on the couch by himself. Shining blinked a couple times in confusion, but his gracious smile remained by the time he looked back at his note. However, his brows raised in surprise when he found the text had completely changed from before:

Oh, and before I forget. Cadance and Sombra are downstairs enjoying breakfast, and Twilight is scheduled to arrive by lunch with Flurry Heart. Nopony is aware of your guys’ involvement in yesterday’s antics, although there might be some interesting pictures in the Crystal Empire Press today. ;)

“Ugh!” Shining lurched his head down with a groan, not wanting to think about how ‘Rusty Shield’ was presented in the newspapers. However, since Discord clarified that nopony was likely to make a connection, Shining could only try to remain optimistic back in his regular form. While he knew there was a lot to contemplate following yesterday, the stallion mostly felt a strange sense of relief from being back as himself for the time being. And since he was currently left alone, a content-looking smile spread across Shining’s face by the time he finally pulled himself up from the couch. “Hmmm…”

Shining double-checked the bandages on his head, and then gave a light stretch to get himself up for the day. And after looking around the empty bedroom, he made a beeline to the bathroom while saying to himself, “You know what? I think I do deserve a bath for myself~”

Unfortunately for Shining Armor, his smile was replaced with a shocked gasp the moment he opened the bathroom door. “GAHH!!”

“What?” asked Discord, who was back in the nurse outfit and sitting in a stool beside a pre-made bubble bath. Despite the flat glare Shining was shooting him, Discord held up a soapy loofa in his claw and gave it a hard squeeze. “I already have the sponge all ready~”
