It wasn’t a loss; I can always go to Ponyville whenever I want; besides the tickets will always be paid from Celestia pockets. But I usually go to Ponyville or Canterlot and that’s how it will stay unless she decides to relocate me to another city; Manha er- MANEhattan would be nice ignoring the muggers and the local mafias of course.

However my small trip to the castle ended with that last line of thoughts, the reflection of sun beaming sun touched my eyes causing me to feel highly uncomfortable and annoyed. I have the feeling that Celestia ordered to polish the entrance before my arrival so I will suffer the consequences of the reflecting sun allover eyes coming from that damned entrance. And what it really pissed me off are the two guards standing there to protect the entrance, who of course also have polished their golden armors. I hate you so much Celestia.

The wind around became a bit stronger, and my hair style was becoming a bit messy thanks to that natural fact and the only I could do was sigh and go to the meeting with the tyrant of this land. The guards stationed to the sides of the entrance noticed me and allowed me to pass raising their spears.

‘’The Princess is waiting for your presence’’ Said the guard from the left, both of them were the simple Royal Guards so their knowledge about the truth is lacking because there is a big gap between Royal Guards and Solar Knights. And to summarize all let’s put that the Royal Guard is like the police and the Solar Knights are the army.

Inside the castle I made my way to the meeting chamber where Celestia receive her guests in privacy and not that kind of ‘privacy’ alright? I ignored all the details of the halls because it wasn’t important and I didn’t care for it in the slightest I was more focused on what Celestia wanted to discuss with me and I was getting a bit worried to be honest. Celestia scares me more than Luna, even if Luna can do more harm to me physically but Celestia is somebody to never mess with and the caribous and deer are paying the price for it, that why my plan against her cannot have the tiniest of the errors.

Finally after the long walk crossing the decorated halls I arrived to the door which behind is Celestia waiting for me, the air entered my nostrils and leave them a couple of times before I passed the door, acting like nothing is wrong is my best bet for the inevitable situation.
The room itself was big enough to hostage one of Pinkie’s party, the curtains were white with gold lines on the borders the floor was different from the halls and the throne room, it was wood; but a very refined one. I don’t know if that kind of floor could match for this palace but I held no power to critique her tastes of decoration. In the middle of the room was Celestia comfortable sat on a violet cushion, in front of her was a small table made of crystal and gold. Above the crystal table was a nice craft set of cups probably made of porcelain, and Celestia had one of those cups on her magical grip as she was drinking the contents of the cup, ignoring the guest who recently passed the door: In other words me.
I saw her right ear twitch a couple of times and her eyelids closed together aftermath. Her head didn’t turn as she takes sip from the cup.

‘’Elijah, I’m glad that you could come’’ Her tone was motherly and soft, the classical charade of the kind ruler of a peaceful land; she was going to act completely different I predicted that since I received her invitation. Being in front of her filled me with a lot of negative emotions mostly anger and impotence, she is the reason of my problems, she turned me into a monster, and she made me suffer. Yet she is here sitting on her ass enjoying her life like nothing ever happened and smiles to every pony that crosses her path.

I could only sigh letting all of those emotions go away of me, I just wanted to this meeting end as fast as possible, I can’t stand be near her; I just can’t anymore.

‘’What do you want Celestia? ‘’ My hand passed across my face trying to stem off my negative emotion which felt like burning fire inside me ‘’You know that I have better things to do li-‘’

But a cold and very familiar sensation on the skin of throat forced me to shut my mouth this time Celestia was staring at me with a serious expression, which clearly told me to don’t mess with her. Trying to swallow my saliva felt really difficult and highly uncomfortable, my breath become labored and the pressure of the steel increased, the fear inside me was coming out of its hideout; sweat started to form on my forehead.

‘’It is Princess Celestia, Elijah’’ Her muzzle turned and focused on table with the set of cups and the teapot ‘’Don’t make me tell you again’’ With her magic she lifted the teapot to serve its tea on other cup ‘’Take seat’’

How I appreciate the gift of life I obeyed her without a second thought and sat on the cushion leaving the table with its respective cups between us. I glanced to the set of cups; I noticed a few more details of the cups which I couldn’t see for distance like there was a golden sun on each cup but something caught more my attention.

The tea served in the cup.

‘’For answer your last question Elijah, I just wanted to have share a tea with you’’ Her fake smile accompanied her act ‘’It’s a special brew brought from Zebrica’’

Remember the fact of my mind being immune to any kind of magic that would cause harm directly to my brain? Well it also works to see through disguises illusions and more especially magical poisons.

And this tea had been mixed with the last one.

I looked back to the sun bitch, which still had the smile plastered on her face by the way, and then to the drink again, it was fucking green. Teas aren’t supposed to have that color, even less have a dark aura around it!

How I couldn’t reveal this small secret of mine to her I needed the perfect excuse to don’t drink this poison.

‘’I must apologize you highness but I feel not in the mood to enjoy such kind of drink this evening’’ My elegance is my forte and nobody can deny it.

My response not only caught her off the guard it also made her frown and become bit irritated, but I have the feeling that I’m messing with her and I must be very careful because a wrong step and I’m dead.

‘’Elijah, the tea in front of you cost me quite a fortune; besides is similar to the tea which our friend Zecora prepares for you’’ She said in a different tone of voice as he face contort into a different expression.

‘Is she actually using the pouting face against me?’

Does she now that my way of thinking about using cuteness to get things is completely lame and childish… childish?! Well I don’t know her personally (and never will) however that was too out of character from her part and probably she is acting to get me to drink THAT. Thing that I will never do, I just need to get rid of this and make it look like an accident.

‘’Tell me, since when her majesty spend quite a fortune in a simple civilian of her vast land?’’ My focus was elsewhere but her and the tea.
Celestia brought a hoof to her chest as her face looked like she was injured of gravity ‘’I don’t sees the problem about a friend like myself giving to other friend like yourself a humble yet quite expensive gift’’

‘’That’s bullshit and you know it’’ I deadpanned immediately crossing my arms.

My hand almost instinctively went to my throat at the touch of the cold and terrifying sensation on my neck, my breathing rhythm became erratic as the sweat began to slide again. My whole body was tense and I didn’t dare to move an inch of my body, I felt really but really humiliated because she can control me so easily tight now.

‘’I believe that you know about manners Elijah, and you know how I feel about bad manners in my presence.’’ Her glare on me hardened and the sword stopped threatening to take my life once again. Today is such a good day! I saw my life pass through my eyes 3 times! And let me tell one thing; I WAS AWESOME.

I sighed in relief when that damned sword went away ‘’I reiterate my question Princess ; what do you want?’’

‘’There is no point in trying, isn’t it?’’ She inserted

I couldn’t agree more with her tahn a nod, good thing that she is smart to understand when a lost cause is. Maybe you think that she could force me to drink the brew but knowing her she wouldn’t get any kind of amusement in that.

Her wings flared open and with her primarily feathers she rubbed her temples trying to calm herself as her horn glows the magical golden aura. Then with a flick the whole set of cups was sent away flying to wherever it could land. I didn’t flinch, I didn’t move I just stayed in my seat staring at her with a blank expression, but inside me I was beaming with joy because I became the victorious side at least one time.
Her white wings retracted to their respective places and Celestia stared deadly to me again, it was the face of ‘I dare you to do something stupid’ Is really difficult to hold back my emotions against her she is too powerful in almost everything from magic to psychological warfare. Now you know a reason of why I can’t stand be near her too much time.

‘’The real reason of this meeting was to tell you that I know everything’’

That ‘everything’ word send chills to my spine as it me gulp at the same time, she couldn’t that everything, could she?

All that time inverted in my plans wasted, everything was in vain. I failed before actually doing something, I felt terrible with myself I just wanted to the ground to eat me right now. But my hopes aren’t lacking.

‘’I don’t quite understand your ‘everything’ your highness’’

I didn’t get a response instead something collided with my face but it was a psychical attack let alone a magical one, the tyrant throw at me a piece of paper, a piece of newspaper to be exactly. I removed that piece of newspaper and without giving a questioning glance to Celestia my eyes began to read the damned article.

‘BREAKING NEWS!! THE PRINCESS’ DATE?!!’

‘’Oh… that everything’’

Author's Note

Hi guys!!!
It was a while, wasn't it? How im a bit of a lazy person i will not tell my reasons here because they are alredy on the sitee but in this blog that i posted some time ago
Oh and also I failed in the CAE, but id ont actually care an exam is not going to limit my knowledge and besides I can talk very well the english. so fuck you cambridge!

So the thing here is that from the chapter ' the foprmal invitation' it was supposed to be a one long chapter but like i said before i don't like long chapter becuase it will be more difficult to correct in a future. Ao what i did is separate the chapter in thre parts so that means that the next chapter will end the visit to the castle of our beloved tyrant celestia.

Now... Celestia knows about the date of a week ago, what she is going to do?!!
Let's see in the next chapter

-Lufe out!!
