The New Lunar Republic- Rebellion of The Solars
Chapter 8
Previous ChapterSilver takes her leave once they reach the city hall, telling Skywritter that Moon will see her anytime. "Thank you," Sky replied with a smile. She nods and trots away, off to do... Whatever. Skywriter walks through the halls, and finds Moon's office. She knocks on the door. Instantly a voice calls from inside the room. "Hold on hold on!" A few moments pass and the voice calls again. "Okay, come in!" Sky opened the door. Moon looked a bit flustered as he sat at his desk awkwardly smiling at her. "Ah, hello your majesty." She gave him a dull look, "What were you doing...?" He chuckles. "Nothing nothing."
She rolls her eyes in response, "Anyway, commander," she sighed, "No one died, but I have a feeling your not going to be very happy. That is, if you refuse to listen to me."
"I would have preferred an extinction of the Solar here but" He shrugs. "So long as the job is done and we have the port back."
"We have, indeed, the port back, but only a quarter of this planet." She smiled, "but...." He frowns, looking at her with an unamused expression. "You gave them a part of the planet...?"
"Yes," she replied, "But," the princess repeated, "I've been doing some research with Luna and The Doctor, and we have found a lunar constellation with far more wealth than there is here."
"Well good for them, doesn't help me" He snaps. She stomped her hoof, "Will anypony just listen?"
"I am listening, your majesty" He responds simply. "I have found new planets, besides..." she walked forward, "A quarter of a planet makes for plenty of room."
"And that helps me how? Hmm?" He asks. She rolled her eyes, "Look, for now, we only have a quarter of the planet. Give it time, and we can even end this war without bloodshed, but reason. You are just like them, not listening to reason, but your instinct to fight."
"Your majesty, your wrong there" He replies, adjusting his position on his seat to be more comfortable. "I care not how this war ends, I just want to see me come out richer and with more land."
"Ha! Yet you do not consider others in the matter." She spat, "And these new planets are very well full of wealth, with vast expanses of riches. They are also perfect to colonize. Any solar to enter with the intention of claiming land will be considered an intruder."
"Mhm, and that matters to me why? Each planet has it's own governor."
"And would you mind taking on a new planet?"
"I wouldn't mind at all, but Luna would never give me another planet to rule."
"I have just as much power as she does, as I'm usually the one to watch over the Republic. She goes to Canterlot a lot, and it would be too much of a hassle to go back and forth asking her permission for things."
"Hmmm..." He smiles, looking up at her, her being a bit taller than him. "Yes yes, I see... okay."
"And while the other planets are colonized, we can work on bringing peace to this planet." She smiles.
"Yes yes, that would be very good..." He grins, lost in thought now.
The princess rolls her eyes, "You're not even listening anymore, are you?"
"Hmm, wha?" He looks over at her, slightly surprised, he had forgotten she was there.
"Ugh. So it's a deal?"
"Indeed it is, pleasure working with you."
"Alright," she proceeded to walk to the door. She stopped and looked back at him, "Oh and, one more thing. May you not think of your own selfish intentions, but for the good of the republic," with that she left the room. She hears laughter come from the room as she leaves. "Ugh," she rolls her eyes once more, and found Silver in the main corridor, "Keep an eye on Moon, okay?"
She salutes. "Um, yes, your majesty!" The princess smiles and walks to her room. She finds a orange mare in her room cleaning. "Hi," Skywriter smiles.
"Eep!" She jumps in surprise, then blushes in embarrassment. "Oh oh my, hello your majesty!" She giggles and steps into the room, "And who might you be?"
"I-I'm Flower" She stammers out. "Your personal servant while your here."
"Wonderful name," Skywriter walks in and lays on the carpet. Flower giggles softly. "Your lucky, I just cleaned that." Sky stretches out and rubs her head against the soft carpet, "Good thing I'm clean." She giggles some more and goes back to cleaning. She shuts her eyes, and playfully paws at the carpet. She hums as she cleans.
"So how are you?" Skywriter asks, breaking the silence.
"Oh, I me? I'm well, your majesty, thank you for asking. You?"
"Hard to say," she replied, "I just had to sort something out with Moon."
"Oh..." She giggles knowingly. "That must have been fun."
"Yeup," she said simply.
"Hehe" She giggles.
She closes her eyes once more, and Flower joins her on the carpet. "Hai," Sky nipped at the carpet, then spit it out in disgust, "The things I do when I'm tired."
The mare looks at her weirdly. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, just the effects of exhaustion. For me it's like being drunk, though I don't drink much." She giggled. The mare nods and giggles with her. She sighs, "I feel like I'm a filly again."
The mare giggles and pets her. "You need rest, your majesty."
Sky got up and sighed, "How I wish to do so." She walks to her bed and jumps onto the bed, her face on her pillow. The mare giggles softly. "Need anything, your majesty?"
"Naw, just sleep," She turned over on her pillow to face Flower. She stands up and smiles. "I'll let you sleep then, your majesty."
"Thank you," she nodded happily at her, and soon fell asleep.
