A Royal Pain

A royal pain

It has only been one week since Queen Chrysalis had deceived everyone, except Twilight Sparkle, and attacked Canterlot. A lone guard stood with his hands behind his back in "parade rest" stance in front of the castle.

His name, TwisterWinds, of the Royal Personal Guard, his rank, lieutenant. He took a deep breath in as he stood on the other side of the two massive doors that separated the great hall of the two royal pony sisters from the rest of the world. Canterlot was still in a state of ruin, well, somewhat, and it was his fault, or at least he felt that way.

"Twister please reconsider this! It was not your fault, if anything it was mine!" Yelled Shining Armor. "You did the best you could, you where out numbered! In fact I order you to not.." Twister cut him off.

"I don't give a damn! Hell I deserve to spend an eternity in Tartarus for not protecting her! And you where under a spell, you have a reason why you couldn't do your duty, I was not! So shut up! I already took you away from your wife for most of today! So just go home and let me do this!" Twister yelled. Hearing the door open, a guard in the same armor as Twister's walked out. Shining Armor nodded, and walked away.

"Princess Celestia will see you now." The guard said. Twister nodded and walked in, his wings pulled close to his body to make himself smaller then possible.

He kept his eyes on the bottom step of the throne where she sat. Celestia, he closed his eyes as his memory of her slipped into his thought.

~Canterlot Castle, 10 days ago~

TwisterWinds stood at and saluted his captain as Shining Armor stepped into the room. "Lieutenant. Princess Celestia wishes to see you, in her bed chambers. You are to report to her immediately, that is all." Captain Shining Armor said looking at paper work. He then turned and started walking away going to go meet up with some V.I.P's from Ponyville. It wasn't un common for a guard to be asked to the princess's bed chamber, in fact Twister has been asked multiple times. His wings fluffed up a bit as he dawned his helmet and grabbed his sword as he left the officers quarters.

Once outside Celestia's room, the two royal guards let him in without a second look, after all, he out ranked them. As the doors closed behind him Celestia looked up from her book as he stepped in and bowed. "Princess you summoned me?" He asked looking up at her. She was laying in her bed with a smile at him.

"Yes, as you know, there has been a threat made against Canterlot. And as the Royal Personal Guard has been stretched thin defending Luna and Cadance, but I need at least one guard to defend myself at all times. Yes I could have the castle guards defending us, but as you know, the Royal Personal Guard is an elite group, none come close to their ability. But there are only fifteen of the Royal Personal Guard, but I have ten defending the castle, and two each for Luna and Cadance. Seeing as you are top of your class, I want you to defend me personally." She said with a smile. ~and it doesn't help you are the best looking.~ she thought.

"Yes, your majesty" Twister said still bowing. "It would be an honor to protect you." He said standing.

"Good, now you have to stay with me twenty-four seven. Where ever I go, you go, no ifs ands or buts" she said pointing to a spot next to the door. "When we are in here, there is your post." She stood, "now come, I need to bathe" this caught a blush from Twister. And his wings sprung out. "Heh heh heh, aww, is my wittle guard want to have a wittle fun wit his pwincess" she said teasing him.

"Princess?! I uh, um.." He swallowed his spit, his wings out wide. He knew about a certain law, it was called "The Princess's Desire. " clause, it allowed a princess to mess around with an un-claimed stallion of their guard, and if he was willing. He shook his head and took a deep breath as his wings closed back. "I think I'll just guard you for now Princess." He said.

Celestia walked to him, swaying her hips and smiled leaning down as she whispered in his ear "looks like I made the right choice to select you, my noble guard." She then walked to her private bath, which was more like half a swimming pool that was constantly a nice one hundred and ten degrees. Standing at the door Twister took a quick glance at her, her beautiful white fur, spectacular mane and tail, ears, her plump round... He shook his head and then caught her smirking at him. "Oh, I may have to have fun with you yet" she said, teasing him about his staring. Twister blushed and stared at the wall, leaving Celestia to pout. Then a wicked smile crossed her face as she grabbed him with her magic and pulled him into the bath. Soaking his clothing, "wash my back guard." she ordered. Blushing he did as he was told. Celestia then turned, grabbed his face and kissed him, he blushed as he returned the kiss, his tongue dancing with her.

After the bath, she smiled at her soaked guard. "Get out, strip and get into my bed." he did as he was told, and soon, she took him intimately making him hers. After that, twister got back into uniform and took his post.

That night, around midnight Celestia was laying in her bed and she saw her guard dozing off as he leaned against the wall. He was really cute. She had ordered a bed for him, yet he stayed his post. She learned he had been up since 4 AM the previous morning, ensuring that Canterlot was safe. "Guard, go to bed, or better yet, come to mine" she said with a smile. "But first, remove your armor."

Twister looked at Celestia and nodded, taking off his helmet he freed his blue mane that matched his tail and eyes. And removing his chest plate he revealed a well built chest, leaving Celestia to drool. Getting in her bed he closed his eyes before Celestia climbed onto him and rested her head on his chest.

"Princess.. " he started.

"Ah ah ah, you'll ruin the moment" she said laying her head on his chest. He easily fell asleep that night, with Celestia soon after him. The next two days went smoothly, the Princess grabbed his flank a few times, pulling his tail about ten times, and kissed him more times then she cared to count.

-Wedding day-

After the two days of teasing, kissing and hugging, the day of the wedding was finally here, but before the ceremony, Celestia pulled her guard into a deep, passionate kiss. Causing his wings to shoot open. Speaking in a hushed tone, Celestia smiled "Twister, in the few day I've known you, how loyal you are, I wanted to say, that I...lov..." Twister interrupted her with his lips.

"Oh...my..." A yellow pegasus said.

"Boy howdy! That's how ya do it princess!" A orange earth pony said

"Darling he is so handsome" a white unicorn said.

"Way to go princess" a blue pegasus said.

"Yay! I got to throw a princess has a boy toy party!" A bouncing pink mare said.

The ceremony started soon after and the guards where all on high alert. Then a unicorn interrupted the ceremony, Twister went to guard the princess from the lavender pony, but was stunned when a second Cadance walked in "wait why are there two Cadence's?" he asked no one in particular.

"She's a changling!" Said the real Cadance.

Quickly jumping between the changling and Celestia, Twister got into a defensive position. Then a green blinding light slammed him to the wall, knocking him out. as he started blacking out his last view was Celesta falling to the ground.
"I failed" he said, embracing what he felt was death. When he awoke, Celestia was standing and doing well. He slowly got to his feet, and walked over to Celestia. "Princess, im sorry, are you..." He was cut off.

" I'm fine, go and assist the others around the castle" the princess said coldly. It felt like she hatted him. He deserved it.

-present-

As he stood at the bottom of the stairs he looked down, not wanting to even look at Celestia. "Well, what is it?" She barked. Celestia no longer wanted any deep relationship, fearing it was part of a changling plot. "I don't have all day, speak." She demanded.

"Princess, for failing to uphold my duties, for failing the crown and the kingdom of Canterlot, I surrender my rank, my duties as a Royal Personal Guard and give myself up for punishment.

Taking his helmet, he sat it down at the foot of her throne. He had a scar that was over his left eye, courtesy of Queen Chrysalis.

"Very well then" she started "For failing to defend myself and the kingdom of Canterlot" her heart ached slightly as she chose her next words. "I hear by, banish you from Equestria."

"SISTER! What are thou doing! He nearly gave his life for...." Luna started.

"I have made my choice. It's final" Celestia said coldly as she glared at Twister.

Twister nodded and bowed his head, a lone tear falling from his face "I am sorry, your majesty. I failed you" he said and stood, looking at her for the first time since the attack, he turned and started to leave.

Celestia wanted to call out to him, to say she was sorry. But she had two, he allowed her to be attacked and Canterlot to fall. Two guards grabbed Twister by the arms to lead him out. "Sorry sir, just procedure" a guard said led him out. To an awaiting carriage.

Celestia calmly stood and walked to her room, once there she fell to her knees and broke into tears. "Oh god what have I done!"

As Celestia wept on her floor a dark figure stepped out of the shadows. "You did good, Tia, I'll hold up my end of the deal." Chrysalis said, with a smirk. "Your guard will" she paused "serve me well." She walked up to her "don't worry, i wont kill him fast, but it is a shame, a stallion like him, you just don't find them every day." And with that, she morphed into a maid and walked off.

"Damnit." Celestia said, she gave Twister as a treaty bargain in order to keep Canterlot safe. "Forgive me, Twister..."
