The Royal Attendant

***A Waffen Pony Production***

Princess Luna let out a painful groan as she shifted in her bed. She extended her hooves, stretching them and breaking through the sheets that covered her body. A soft moan escaped her lips, and her eyes fluttered open. Someone had entered her room and awoken her.

"Good evening, princess..." A soft voice said from across the room.

Luna smiled. She knew the voice, and it did not belong to an intruder. She beamed at the ceiling before sitting upright to face the pony the voice belonged to.

"A fair evening to you, Dulcet." Luna said before giving a lengthy yawn. "I trust your day was pleasant?"

Dulcet was Luna's personal palace servant, a unicorn that managed to put up with Luna far better than most palace servants could.  Not many ponies had the physical and mental will power to serve Princess Luna. In addition, not many ponies had to work as a palace servant to pay their way through magic school either. Dulcet saw it as a labor of love for her education.

"Uhg..." Dulcet groaned as she levitated several empty take out boxes off of the dresser. "Every evening... How can you live like this? Your room is disgusting. You are disgusting."

The servant showed the garbage to Luna, causing dirty napkins, wrappers, and empty cans to fall to the floor. The princess chuckled, extracting an evil glare from Dulcet.

"Mmm... It's looking pretty good from where I am sitting..."

But Luna's eyes weren't watching the old leftovers. She was watching Dulcet. The servant had an angry fire in her eyes, and her nostrils flared.

"You disgust me..." Said Dulcet as she returned her attention to the mess at hoof.

"Oh, you know you love me!" Luna shrieked from the bed as she fell over laughing.

The servant promptly dropped another load of trash into the bin she left by the door. It mostly consisted of dirty napkins and plastic ware from the previous day's take out. It made no difference to Dulcet. It all had to go.

Luna was enjoying the view. Her eyes were fixated on Dulcet's pearl-colored flank as the servant bent over to pick up a thick tome that had fallen from the shelf by the door.

"Hm... Equestrian Botany? Reading about plants, are we, princess?" She asked.

Luna shook her head as Dulcet placed the tome on the night stand from which it had fallen.

"No... That book belongs to Twilight Sparkle. She left it here when she last... uh... she last visited."

Dulcet raised an eyebrow at the princess. She knew Luna had many sexual partners. Dulcet was the pony who had to clean up after them, of course, but she had never figured Luna to be interested in other mares, especially another princess like Twilight.

"Oh... So, you and Princess Twilight, huh?" Dulcet asked with a hint of interest.

Luna quickly waved her hoof, dismissing Dulcet's question.

"It was nothing serious. You should know me better than that, my dear." Luna countered. "Meaningful relationships are... not my thing..."

Dulcet wanted to know more, but she knew better than to argue with Luna. That path would only end badly for her.

"I guess you're right... Well, I'll just finish here, and- OOOH! Princess, are you masturbating?!"

Luna's cheeks were red, but her voice showed no signs of embarrassment. A soft chuckle escaped her lips as she continued to play with herself in front of the servant.

"Dulcie, do you think you could..."

"My name is Dulcet, and no!"

Luna's expression changed. Her cheeks drooped, and her lower lip began to quiver.

"Please?" The princess begged. "No pony else does it as well as you..."

"No!" Dulcet objected again. "And stop clopping off while you're talking to me!"

Luna pressed her face into the pillow and lifted her rear, swaying it in Dulcet's direction.

"Come on... I'll give you a raise."

"You don't have that kind of authority." Dulcet said flatly. "I'm not going to... Uhg... I'm not going to lick your thing again. My breath tasted awful for a week after the last time..."

Luna let out a heaving sigh as she sat upright.

"I'm sorry..." She said softly. "I'll just leave you to your cleaning... Then, I'll be all alone, horny and with no company, no pony to talk to, no pony to-"

"Fine!" Dulcet groaned as she approached the bed. "But you are buying me an extra strong bottle of mouthwash this time..."

Luna grinned from ear to ear as the servant climbed onto the bed.

"Honestly, I thought it would take a lot more to convince you..."

"Shut up." The servant snapped.

Dulcet brushed her silver mane out of her eyes as she lowered her snout in between the princess' legs. Her face cringed as the thick smell of sex hit her nose. After a moment of hesitation, she extended her tongue and licked the folds of Luna's slit. The princess arched her head back and let out a pleasurable moan.

"Oh... Oh my... Dulcet, you are absolutely wonderful..." Luna purred as she stroked the young unicorn's mane.

Dulcet glared at Luna through her dark, steel eyes, but she did not relent. She continued to drive her tongue deep into the princess' marehood.

The servant was skilled... Luna made sure she knew that. It was something of a love and hate relationship between her and Dulcet. However, there was more hating than loving on Dulcet's part.

It was no real effort for Dulcet to make the princess cum. Just a few minutes later, Luna cried out as she reached her peak. The climax surged through her body and shot out of her marehood in the form of thick globs of cum. Strands of the creamy substance covered Dulcet's snout and some of her shiny, grey mane. Luna was out of breath. She lay in her bed, gasping for air. The entire time, she watched as Dulcet sat upright, brushed her mane out of her eyes, and swallowed the cum that was in her mouth.

"Mmmm... So, you... you did... enjoy it..." Luna chuckled as she regained her breath. "How do... I taste?"

The servant slid off of the bed and returned to the trash bin by the door. For an instant, Luna thought she saw a smile on her lips, but it was already gone.

"You taste awful..." Dulcet said as she lifted the bag out of the trash bin. "I only swallowed to be polite. You should try it sometime, princess, being polite..."

The comment was meant to be mean, but Dulcet didn't care. She wanted the princess to know how she really felt.

Luna had a look on her face of mock offense.

"I can be polite!" She scoffed. "For an example, I left all of my take out boxes in one place so you could pick them up with ease. Is that not being polite?"

Dulcet shot Luna a menacing glare. She looked as though she was really about to let loose a barrage of hateful words, but she hesitated. Dulcet stayed silent, and she returned to trash bin. With the bag tied up and ready to be discarded, she hoisted it onto the cart just outside the room.

"I'll be back to change your sheets, once you've  gone to raise the moon." Dulcet said softly.

Then, she was gone, leaving Luna alone on her bed. The princess looked down at the puddle of cum on the sheets. Suddenly, the smell of sex wasn't as appealing as it had been. Using the magic from her horn, Luna levitated a brush off of the night stand and combed it through her mane.

A knock on the door frame caught her attention. Luna set the comb down and turned to find a Royal Guard standing in the door.

"Your highness..." The guard said, giving her a low bow. "Princess Celestia sent me to find you. She is wondering why you are late to raise the moon."

Luna's eyes darted back and forth between the cum-stained bed sheets and the guard by the door.

"I... I will be there shortly." Luna said as she let out a deep sigh.

The guard didn't look convinced.

"Are you sure, your highness? Is there anything I can do to assist you?"

"No... I'm fine... I simply..."

Then, a sad frown crept onto Luna's lips.

"Go. Tell my sister I will be there to raise the moon in a few moments."

The guard gave her a low bow before retreating into the corridor. Luna waited until the sound of his hooves clopping against the floor had faded away before she began her journey up to the astronomy tower. It wasn't a long trip to make. The princess walked like a ghost through the empty palace halls until she reached the stairs leading up to the top of the tower. Using her wings, she flew through the tower to the very top. Her sister was waiting by the door leading out onto the balcony overlooking the city below.

"Luna, you are late." Celestia said in a scolding tone. "What kept you?"

"I... I slept late..." The younger princess lied.

Celestia eyed her sister suspiciously, but kept all comments to herself. She and Luna turned her gaze towards the orange sky above. Together, the princesses completed the changing of day to night. Celestia finished the lowering of the sun while Luna rose the moon to the peak of the dark sky, lighting up all of Equestria in a soft, white glow.

"So, I trust your sleep was well?" Celestia asked as she admired the beautiful night. "It must have been. It has been a while since the moon has shone so bright..."

Luna stayed silent.

"Luna..." Celestia said in a softer tone. "I passed by your servant on my way up here. She... looked quite upset. Do you care to tell me why she was this way?"

Luna looked at her hooves. The weight of Celestia's gaze felt taxing upon her back. Celestia's question was met with silence. Luna was deep in thought. She thought of Dulcet, cleaning her bed chambers and washing the sheets where a puddle of her own cum lay.

"I... I cannot..." Luna said as she turned away from her sister's gaze.

Celestia nodded her head as though it was the answer she expected.

"Disappointing..." The elder princess muttered as she made her way to the stairs leading inside the tower. "What is her name?"

Luna quickly spun around to face her sister. She wore a face that expressed shock and confusion.

"W-What?"

"Your servant's name." Celestia said again. "What is it she calls herself?"

Luna paused and looked at her hooves before looking back up and meeting Celestia's gaze.

"Dulcet... Her name is Dulcet..."

Celestia smiled.

"Dulcet... Such a sweet name."

Luna watched Celestia turn and face the door. With the magic from her horn, Celestia opened the door, and she turned to look back at Luna.

"You should talk to her, Luna." Said Celestia in a motherly tone. "Dulcet is a kind-hearted mare. I am certain she will listen, if you reach out to her."

With her words hanging in the air, Celestia disappeared inside the tower. Now, Luna stood alone atop the tower. The chilly air stung into her eyes like needles. The princess relented to the wind, and retreated into the tower. Using her wings, she glided down the staircase until she reached the bottom floor. Luna walked through the dimly lit corridors as she made her way back to her own bed chambers. Silence surrounded the princess, but her thoughts screamed conversations of their own. Luna shook her head as she tried to clear her mind of her battling thoughts. The sound of an opening door captured her attention. It was Luna's door.

She watched from the shadows as Dulcet backed out of her room, carrying a basket filled with what Luna perceived to be her dirty bed sheets. It was the look on Dulcet's face that shattered Luna's heart.

For what seemed to be the first time, Luna really saw Dulcet not as a servant, but as a pony. Luna saw the anger in Dulcet's cheeks, the sadness in her eyes, and the bags of exhaustion under those sad eyes. Then, Luna heard the rage from Dulcet's lips.

"I hate her..."

The words drifted through the still air and hit Luna's ears with the force of a train. The princess melted into the shadows and faded away as Dulcet passed her by.

"Just 'till you pay of your student loans, Dulcet..." The mare muttered to herself, unknowing that Luna was listening. "Then, you can leave this place... Then, you can leave her..."

Luna held a hoof over her mouth as she watched the servant disappeared down the corridor. Tears swelled in her eyes, and her throat felt as though it was being choked. The princess materialized and slumped against the wall.

"You should talk to her, Luna." Celestia had told her. "Dulcet is a kind-hearted mare. I am certain she will listen, if you reach out to her."

Luna knew what to do... Sorta. She had an idea, at least. The princess quickly stood and closed her eyes. Her horn began to glow. In a bright flash of light, she had vanished, leaving the corridor empty.

A half hour later, Dulcet returned to the servant's quarters. With the laundry basket empty, she dropped it by her bed. A few staff members smiled at her and said 'hello', but Dulcet was to tired to care. She waved them away. Sleep was the only thing she wanted. As she reached the edge of her bed, Dulcet's legs buckled, and she fell onto the mattress.

"Aaahhhhhh..." A sigh of relief escaped her lips.

Dulcet rested her head upon her pillow only to meet an uncomfortably hard lump underneath. Confused, the servant sat upright and lifted the pillow with her horn. Underneath her pillow, was a blue bottle of mouthwash.
