Nary a Non-Narrated Tale

As the Nobles gave their usual speech about reorganizing the wealth class districts, Celestia felt...something. She could tell there was now somepony else in the room, somepony with a lot of magic. Carefully, as not to upset her subjects, she scanned the room from left to right. Just as she was about to shrug it off as her sister spying on the day court again, a voice spoke.

"And as the stuffy noble gave his speech on the basics of prejudice, he internally wondered if Celestia was truly listening. Nonetheless, he continued talking, despite how much he reasoned Celestia hated it." it said.

"...excuse me?" asked the previously speaking noble, dumbfounded.

"Nonetheless, he continued talking." repeated the voice, irritation seeping into it's tone. The most anypony could do at this moment was stare at the ceiling in wonder, completely unknowing of what was happening. The voice hadn't been called here- it couldn't have been. Nopony in the room had been doing magic, had they?

"The noble was so bad at following directions it's incredible he wasn't fired years ago," continued the voice, attempting to mock them into speaking. "The only reason he got his position was through gambling, or a family connection." Once again, the room was silent. "Probably both."

"Listen here, you- you scoundrel!" said the noble. "I have done nothing but true and honest work to get here today, and I will not be berated by somepony who could not even show his face to me!"

"Oh, cut it out, would you? I was just trying to tell my story, and you had to go off and muck it up with your refusal to simply go along with it. This, by all objective and truthful standards, is your fault entirely." it replied.

"Discord, I am not in the mood for your games. Please find somepony else to aggravate." Celestia interjected.

"Wha- really? I haven't even introduced myself, and you're already making assumptions about who I am?" it said. "Well, if you're going to be like that, then I'll just leave you to your business." it said.

After a few moments, nothing happened. The nobles decided that court had gone long enough for the day, and everypony was called to leave. Celestia left with a single, simple thought in her mind.

How strange.
