The Knight and The Princess

Chapter 3

Princess Cadenza/Cadence Pov (Point of View)

I looked at myself in the mirror and my mane was a mess. I levitated a comb in a light blue aura of magic and began to brush my mane. Just as I was brushing, my bedroom door opened and my ice cold, agree with my dictator father, mother entered my room. She closed the door behind her gently, as she trotted over towards me. If she and my father found a spouse for me again, I will tell them no and walk away. What could my mother want at this time of hour, so late in the evening it couldn’t wait? “What do you want mother?” I asked, coldly, not looking at my mother’s eyes.

My mother looked at me, I could feel it. She then replied, “Cadenza why do you seem to push me and your father away? Did we do something to upset you?”

That right there drew the line. She wanted to know the reason so I gave it to her. I said, “Yes you both did. You both force me to marry some strange stallion from a royal family so you can get more land that way. Then you both imprison me in the castle, taking away my freedom that I think I deserve. And to top it all off, you agree with my father whenever he makes a decision about my life.”

“Dear we are just trying to do what’s best for you.” My mother told me.

“It’s not what I want mother!” I shouted at her, making my point clear.

“Cadenza! We’re giving you everything you could ever want, royalty, servants, guards, classes, and even meals. What more could you want?!”

“I want to have freedom, and I want to be treated like a normal mare for once!”

My mother stopped talking, and looked at me disapproving. “If you want to be treated like a normal mare then I’m going to write a letter to your aunt Celestia and you’ll be there for 6 months, living in her castle as a princess, but when you walk outside these castle walls you’ll be treated as a normal mare.” My mother told me, as she walked out of my room.

As the door closed, I jumped for joy, feeling victorious for winning a argument for  the first time against one of my parents. I dropped the comb on my nightstand, and flew towards my window. I watched the other fillies, colts, mares, and stallions enjoying their lives. Soon I’ll be one of them. But unaware of my situation I saw a strange stallion looking at me through my window. Just as a group of ponies walked by he disappeared into thin air.

That was weird, Where could’ve that stallion go? I guess I’ll never know. I flew towards my bed, and lay down on it, with a smile on my face. I can’t wait to be out of this castle. Though I had a bad feeling. That doesn't matter, I’m so excited. Before I knew it, I closed my eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

Underground

A stallion walked down the dark underground as he made his way to the meeting table.

“Did she see you?” Asked another cloaked pony.

“Yes she did.” The stallion replied, bitterness in his voice.

“Good. Our spies in Canterlot spotted a filly. One with great destiny.  Now we’ll commence Phase 2 of our operation.” The cloaked pony said, laughing evilly. Just then a door opened and came in a young teenage bug. “Mother what are you doing?” It asked in a feminine bug voice. Rubbing her tired eyes from being awakened.

“Nothing my dear sweet Chrysalis. Now go back to sleep. Mommy will be there soon.” The cloak pony said, walking towards the bug creature and walking her out of the room.

The stallion chuckled a bit. This is something too good to pass up.
