Load Full StoryNext Chapter"YOU CALL THIS A SALAD!!??"
CLANG!!!
"Uggghhhh" Crimson groaned as his eye's cracked open.
He looked at the silver clock on his night stand and sighed, only 6:30 in the morning and Blueblood was already terrorizing the castle.
"Really Blueblood..., on a monday?" Crimson muttered.
While trying to sit straight up in bed, Crimson heard another yell from Blueblood.
"GO BACK TO THE KITCHEN AND GET ME A NEW SALAD!" Blueblood yelled from the hall.
Crimson heard the servant Blueblood was yelling at apologizing to him.
"I..,i am so sorry Prince Blueblood!" The servant stammered.
"I..i didn't know you disliked daisies with salad!
"alright that's IT" Crimson said to himself as he jumped out of bed and walked towards the door of his dark room. He walked towards the door and used his magic to pull it open. He looked out of the door to his Right, nothing but the everyday hall with royal red carpet and white polished stone, and here and there a Sun-guard with there ever so stone faces.
Crimson covered his eye's. "Dear Celestia, do you really need to have such polished white stone around the sleeping quarters?" Crimson muttered through his teeth. "i hope my own bedroom get's finished quickly..."
He looked to the left, exactly the same as the right side of the hallway. Red carpet through the middle and polished white stone's underneath it and on the walls. Also guards, but those at the end of the left side of the hall had the slightest hint of annoyance on their face.
And at the end of the hallway at the intersection which forward was going towards the kitchen and the royal dinning room, left towards the garden of the castle. and to the right the throne room were aunt Tia would soon begin her day.
In the very middle of the intersection was the very source of Crimson's so called, "Wake up call."
Walking out of the doorway of his bedroom towards the yelling Prince and the frightened earth pony servant mare, who was bowing low with her nose touching the carpet.
with collected thoughts and calmness Crimson walked over behind the unicorn and coughed in his hooves to get his attention.
Blueblood huffed and spoke, "Don't you see i'm trying to discipline a servant here?" he said without turning around to look who it was.
"Blueblood." Crimson simply said.
At that the Blueblood turned around and looked Crimson direct into his teal, green eyes and then Crimson just said as cool and collected as possible" Dear cousin, would you please like to explain to me why you are so impulsive in the early hours?"
"Because this discipline lacking servant of nothing can't even get an order right!" Blueblood spoke with an noble accent.
"And what was wrong with the order this mare brought you then?" Crimson said, trying to sound as regal as one possible could at 6:30 in the morning. While looking from Blueblood to the still bowing mare. the mare had an yellow coat and an light red mane done in an servant bun, with the usual maid outfit.
"This lacking mare brought me a salad with daisies in them daisies!" Blueblood complained. "While i specifically had ordered to bring me a salad with Rose Pedals".
Crimsons right eye twitcht, when Blueblood finished his sentence while he closed his eyes with his nose held up high in the air. Crimson said trough his gritted teeth,"Ssooo.. all this yelling at a servant, and waking up everyone in canterlot, over one tiny mistake in your salad?".
"What ever do you mean with a Tiny mistake!?" Blue blood gasped. "This is not an Tiny mistake dear cousin, this is horrible! if we let more of these mistakes go undisciplined everything will fall apart!" Blueblood complained.
"thats the last straw..." Crimson thought to himself.
"Blueblood?"
"Yes, dear cousin?" Blueblood said, with his nose held high thinking that he was right to be angry at the servant.
"You apologize to this friendly mare right now, and you will clean up that salad that you have thrown on the floor." Crimson said with a bit of tense in his voice. "Because, dear cousin, this has to be the BIGGEST load of HORSEAPLLES i have EVER heard from you!!" Crimson yelled at Blueblood which made him blink twice.
"I have had it till up HERE with you" Crimson yelled at him while using his left wing to point above his mane that he crossed the line. "Now apologize to this mare, and get a broom, and CLEAN THIS MESS! OR I WILL TELL AUNT TIA ABOUT HOW YOU TREAT THE SERVANTS!" Crimson yelled with a bit of the Royal Canterlot voice.
Blueblood was shaking but found his voice back," Okay! Okay!" he whined. He turned to the servant mare, who was still bowing and spoke just above a whisper, "i'm sorry." and with that Blueblood trot off towards the throne room. "he's probably going to complain to Celestia that i told him to clean something..."
Sighing silently, Crimson looked towards the mare and took her hoof which made the mare tremble. With her hoof in his, he gently pulled her nose from the ground making her look at him with a bit of water in her blue eyes. "I'm terribly sorry for my cousin Blueblood, miss?" It took a few seconds before the mare responded with a shaking voice. "My... my.. name is Petal Daisies, p-prince Crimson Night" the mare bowed again but Crimson stopt her before she could do that. " There is no need to bow to me miss Daisies, in honesty, i must bow before you" with that Crimson made a slight bow towards the mare which was answered with an puzzled look from her.
"But Prince Crimson Night, why must you bow before me?" she said her ears drooping lower than they already were and eyes looking towards the ground.
Crimson stood up and placed his hoof gently under her chin and raised her eyes from the ground to meet his teal one's. "Because no pony and i mean no pony deserves to be scolded like that by anypony. and especially not by my cousin." she got an light smile on her face while Crimson kept talking to her with an apologizing smile.
"I can not apologize enough for his constant complaining." as he said the following he got an playful smile on his face, " but i can yell him through the castle if that makes you feel better." Crimson said, which got an giggle out of the mare.
" Now how about you take today off? you will get paid for today, don't worry. it's the least i can do as an apology for my cousin's rude behavior." Crimson spoke with an soft tone and an gentle smile towards the mare. which was looking much happier now than a few minutes ago. "Really!? Thank you Prince Crimson Night!" she spoke with joy in her voice.
"No trouble at all. Ohw and miss Daisies?" Crimson asked.
"Yes, Prince Crimson Night? Petal Daisies Responded with an puzzled look.
"Please call me Crimson, or Prince Crimson. I don't like to have my full royal title to be used every time i speak to somepony." Crimson said with an smile.
The mare bowed slightly, "I will prince Crimson! Thank you once again!" And with that the mare trotted off towards the servants quarters.
While all that just went down, Crimson realized something.
He needed to take a shower.
An nice and looonngggg shower.
Walking back towards his room he looked at the few guards, somehow, they looked happier now. "I would be happier too if some pony next to me was yelling and got made to keep his mouth closed..." Crimson thought to himself.
He walked into his room and closed the door with his blue magic and walked over to the bathroom that was across the room. He looked himself over in the mirror and kept his eyes on his mane which looked like he was run over by an herd of buffalo's, with hair sticking out everywhere and his fur being pointing in different direction's except for the good direction. The only thing that broke the silence was the prince himself muttering," Wow... i look terrible..."
Crimson jumped in the big bath and turned on the faucet. After Crimson washed himself, he turned the faucet off and just relaxed in the tub spreading out his wings so that his wing muscles also could relax a bit.
After sometime in an state of ultimate relaxation, it got time to get out of the tub and dry off. Using his magic, Crimson pulled a fresh towel from the drawer of the dresser in the bedroom, and floated it over towards him which he used to dry himself off with, beginning at his face, from there along his back towards his tail down his legs.
With himself dry of water he tossed the towel in to the laundry basket and walked out of the bathroom back into his bedroom. he walked over to his dresser and grabbed an Silver necklace with a crescent moon shining in the middle of it, he put it over his head and hang it around his neck against his dark blue fur, a smile plastered across his face, when he is remembering something again. "Gggrrr" his belly groaned at him. "yeah yeah, we are going to get breakfast, sheesh." Crimson spoke to his belly, which only groaned back in response.
Taking one last look in the mirror in front of him, he took in the stallion that was staring back at him. Teal, friendly eyes. light blue Mane, Dark blue coat, and Dark blue wings with slightly blackened feather tips. His cutie mark of an full moon, covered half way by an dark cloud with three stars over the moon. And as last at the silver necklace with the white crescent moon hanging proudly from his neck. With the final check made he walked out of the bedroom towards the royal dinning hall.
As Crimson walked towards the royal dinning room he was greeted with an most pleasant look, Pink bags were being brought away by a servant unicorn with gave him an respectful bow before trotting along with the baggage in his magic.
"pink bags huh..." Crimson thought to himself.
Before Crimson could do anything else he heard an happy yell from behind him, "CRIMSIE!" and before he could react, Crimson was pinned to the floor in an strong hug from an pink alicorn with two blue ties, one in her hair making a ponytail, and one in her tail.
"Hey Cadey! when did you get back from your school trip?' Crimson asked as he was still hugged on the ground by the Princes of Love.
"Just an hour ago!" Cadence said without breaking the hug.
"Cadey.... do you.... mind... GASP" Crimson managed to say before his face turned into a shade of purple. Cadence suddenly realized that she was hugging her cousin to death and quickly released him. "Oops... sorry Crimsie" Cadence said between giggles, which were always cute to hear, were it not for his rapid air intakes to fill up his half squashed lungs.
"It's... alright Cadey." Crimson managed to speak before taking in one big breath of air." You know cadey, you should really watch out with those Grizzly hug's of yours." Crimson said while chuckeling, Cadence chuckled with him.
Suddenly both of their belly's groaned for breakfast and they both laughed, " I guess we should get breakfast than don't you think?" asked Cadence.
"My belly agrees with you Cadey, let's get to the dinning room. I bet aunt Tia and my mother will be there as well by now." Crimson said to Cadence.
With that they both Walked off towards the dinning room, with idly chat between the walking. " Hey Crimsie?" Cadence said to Crimson. "Hmm?" Crimson responded. "I notice you are wearing your necklace again. Can you tell me how you got it again?" Cadence asked.
"My mom made it for me when i was born Cadence, you know that." Crimson answered.
"I know!" Cadence chirped, making an little jump. " but i like to hear why she made it for you." Cadence smiled.
"Mom made it for me when i was born." Crimson began, smiling at the memory. "Mom told me when i was young, that she made this necklace with stones from the moon herself."
"She told me that if i wear this necklace i will always stay safe, and will bring me luck. and she will always know where i am." Crimson explained to Cadence, who was smiling at hearing the love behind the story.
"But isn't it now a tiny bit inconvenient to wear it, that Luna knows were you are at all times?" Cadence asked Crimson.
"Sometimes, yes" Crimson looked to the floor, thinking back when Luna found him multiple times doing something bad because he was wearing the necklace. "It is the very reason i was grounded this week, that's why i couldn't come with the school trip." Crimson chuckled, "Thats what you get for not doing your chore's and just nap on a cloud multiple day's a week."
At hearing that, Cadence just held her belly because of the laughing." You're just incredibly LAZY nephew!" Cadence said after she stopped laughing. "But why are you still wearing it now then?"
"I wear it because my mother made it specially for me, there are only 2 of these necklaces in Equestria. it is also my good luck charm where ever i go remember?" Crimson spoke with pride in his voice, taking an pose with hoof on his chest which made Cadence giggle again. But his pose was interrupted by his belly groaning, protesting that breakfast was taking to long. Cadence belly did the same thing in response to Crimson's.
"let's get to the dinning room before we begin to eat the carpet don't you think?" asked Cadence.
"RACE YOU THERE!" Crimson said trotting of.
"HEY! NOT FAIR!" Cadence yelled trotting after him. Down the hallway Crimson yelled back to Cadence over his shoulder,
"YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT IN LOVE AND WAR EVERYTHING GOES!"
