Twilight had invited the three leaders of the two empires and a lordship that greater than Equestria to come into the celebration of the Hearth's Warming Eve. But one of them, Princess Ratri of the Naga Empire didn't want to come. Is because she is reptilian being? Or there is something more than that?
