Within the pristine halls of Canterlot Castle, two pairs of guards stood arranged on either side of a large set of doors, a small plaque on the wall labeling them as the “Peacock Room”. The guards, as most all Royal guard ponies, stood perfectly still outside the door. They didn’t even flinch when the door was suddenly enveloped in a golden aura and slammed open, but jumped into action when Princess Celestia herself rushed out in a hurried trot, the four guards quickly falling into step on either side of her.

It was a rare occurrence for Celestia to not have her trademark calm, motherly smile, perfected over hundreds of years, but today she looked positively ragged. That last meeting had run an hour longer than it should have, and now she had to be on the other side of Canterlot Castle for another meeting in ten minutes! She knew the anti-teleportation spell over the castle interior was an important safety mechanism, but some days she wished they could do without it…

Her musing was interrupted by an angry rumbling from her midsection. She had planned to stop for lunch in between this last meeting and the next, but there was no way she’d have time for that now. She would just have to make do with what was on hoof.

She picked up on of the guards next to her in her magic and floated him up to look him in the face, not once breaking her stride as she did so. “Swift Strike,” she said as her horn glowed brighter and the guard’s armor vanished, sent back to the royal armory. He wouldn’t need it anymore in a few minutes. “I’m afraid there’s no time to stop for a proper lunch, so I’m just going to have to devour you on the go.”

Swift Strike simply nodded his head. “Of course, your highness.”

She nodded back at him then opened her mouth wide and shove his head inside. She groaned slightly at his taste; she normally took her time with her guards to properly savor them, but there simply wasn’t time for that today, much to her disappointment. She didn’t waste another moment before giving a loud, powerful gulp, pulling his head down into her neck and his shoulder into her mouth. She maintained her hurried pace as she rapidly glurked down her loyal guard, an impressive feat of coordination only possible thanks to hundreds of years of experience in devouring other ponies. Her normally slender, graceful neck bulged outwards obscenely with the guard’s form as he was quickly pulled down into her body. Her powerful swallows sucked down inches of him at a time, and it was less than a minute later that his cutie mark, a crossed pair of swords, vanished into her hungry maw. She rapidly slurped up the stallion's hind legs and, with a few more swallows, sent the bulge in her neck down into her stomach.

She gave a satisfied sigh as her belly bulged outwards, her meal having sated the gnawing hunger in her gut. Her stuffed midsection didn’t slow her down even a fraction as she continued her hurried pace to the stairs at the end of the hall. She ran her schedule for the day through her head as she went. She realized,to her dismay, that at the rate things were going, she probably wouldn’t have time to stop for dinner, either…

In the blink of an eyes she picked up and de-armorured the guard on her other side, an orange pegasus stallion with a blue mane, and shoved him face first down her ravenous gullet before he could so much as react. If she wouldn’t have time for dinner, that just meant she would have to stuff herself now! She gulped him down even faster than the first guard, his form clearly visible against the stretched skin of her neck. Glurk Gulp Slurp Her swallows were audible over her hoofsteps as her powerful throat muscles quickly pulled him down to join his comrade. Only a few steps later her neck slimmed out again as the second guard was deposited into her greedy gut, her white belly now hanging down to her knees.

A satisfied smile took over her face as she approached the flight of stairs. Two guards would be certain to tide her over until the end of her duties for today! She was very surprised, then, when one of her remaining guards, a unicorn mare, spoke up. “Do you require a third course, your highness?” she asked.

It actually took Celestia a moment to respond. She hadn’t been planning on having a third… But why not? With all the work she was doing today, she deserved to indulge herself! She picked up the mare in her magic. “Why yes, I think I will. Thank you for offering, Pin Point,” she said as she teleported off the mare’s armor, then, since she was a unicorn, stuck her into her mouth hind legs first.

Celestia gave that first, noisy swallow, pulling the mare’s legs into her mouth, and now for the first time came to a stop. She had reached the stairs, and even a mare with her experience knew better than to try going down a flight of stairs while eating somepony! She sat back on her rump as she sucked down the mare, this time actually taking the process a bit slower. Her tongue slipped out from between her lips and the mare’s body to lick over her meal; she would be damned if she wasn’t going to take the time to enjoy at least one of her guards! The meeting would just have to wait a few more minutes!

She craned her head straight up, giving the mare a straight slide down her long, supple neck. Her swallowing was much less intense this time. She brought a hoof up to her neck as the mare was slowly sucked down into her maw; an important part of enjoying her meals was enjoying how they felt as she devoured them! The guard tucked her forelegs into Celestia’s maw alongside her body, and soon only her head was still sticking out. The alicorn’s tongue licked back and forth over her face a few times before giving that one last GULP and shutting her mouth over the mare’s head.

She let out a pleased moan as a combination of gravity, some weak swallowing, and her hoof on her neck slowly sent the mare down that long stretch of throat. That bugle slide down and down until it finally joined the much larger bulges in her midsection. She gave a happy sigh and patted her now thoroughly engorged midsection. “That was a very pleasant lunch! Thank you, all.” She then stood back up, her massive, bulging belly hanging so low it was almost brushing against the floor.

Her spirits now considerably boosted, she set off down the stairs, her lone remaining guard dutifully falling in behind her. Already she could hear her stomach starting to gurgle noisily. Her advisors always hated it when she came to meetings with a full belly, but they were just going to have to put up with it!
