Nopony knows this better than Cadence, the Empress of the Crystal Empire, who has been married to Shining Armor for nearly two years now. But, if everypony knows that marriage is sacred… why is her bodyguard looking at her like that? And… Why does she feel a growing attachment to him? With her anniversary drawing near, and the upcoming Gala looming over her head, Cadence must deal with these thoughts, as well as her feelings towards her husband, who seems to be growing more distant by the day…
