Zebris's actually feeling guilty. Shit, I knew this was bad. We need to make him cut ties with Twilight for the time being or find ways to corrupt her as fast as possible so she'll be "happy" with his actions. Either way, something must be done.

On the flipside, It look like Spoiled Bitch decided to confront him directly. She wouldn't have bothered if she had alerted the authorities, so we're good on this part. Considering her personality, she likely intend to blackmail him for favors wich present an opportunity. Indeed, someone who believe themselves in control is more easily manipulated, so he'll have plenty of chance to take control without her noticing. Let's see what she want first.

BZZZZZZZT...........Click!

Well Zexis fucked that up! Lets see what we can suggest to fix this situation. First we can assume with reasonable certainty that Spoiled Rich wants to blackmail us for some sort of favour other wise there would be little point to her announcing herself rather than getting the authorities. If we assume this we have a small amount of room to negotiate the key to this is make sure we control the situation or flow of the conversation. Unfortunately Zexis is already on the back foot hear as he has been caught in comprising position and thus is already lost control of the situation.

In such situation the best way to regain control of the situation is to surprise your opponent by doing something unexpected or the opposite of what they expect. In this case I recommend that Zexis picks up Scootaloo and continue fucking her brains out while stating that she get on with her demands for keeping this secret. Hopefully this will throw off her game as I rather doubt Spolied would expect anyone to continue acting in such as way particular in such a situation. Also offer for her and friend to take a seat as you may be a while, this will most likely make her angry as Zexis is not treating her with any sort of respect. She should then either demand Zexis stop what he doing or will storm out. Now from here we have a few option we can either try to solve the situation now with a large gamble or try for a longer game.

The gamble option or idea can only happen If she ask Zexis to stop. If this is the situation he should do so reluctantly then proceed to set up an area for discussion making sure to light some of the lust candles if he has any and claim them to be a aroma therapy candle to help him relax. Following this he should offer to put on some tea for their discussion and lace the whole pot with a heavy dose of the truth pills if he can making sure that he drinks the tea first to show that it appear harmless then making sure that both Spoiled and the the Butler drink the tea. If Spoiled and the butler drink the tea and the candle are on hopefully this might be enough to rise their lust to almost uncontrollable levels which Zexis can then hopeful use to start a orgy. Tin Soilder lust level are above average and we might be able to drive them over the edge even temporarily. I also have a suspicion that Tin Solider secret might be that he is Spoiled Riches lover/paramour I have no evidence for this but she clearly trust him enough to let him watch as she blackmail a someone who is breaking at least a dozen laws. If we can do this we can turn the situation on Spoiled Rich and black mail her right back particular if we can get some photos of them in the act even better if we have a couple with Scootaloo invoved. But as I stated this is a huge gamble option.

The safer option would be to find out what Spoiled Rich wants and if possible Identify what makes her corruption so high and try to push it to the max over time as well as pushing Tin Soldiers lust as high as possible. After all as Kors stated it is always so much easier to manipulate some one who thinks there in control. But this will take time and I would not be surprised if Spoiled would try to back stab us later which means Zexis would have a metaphorical execution axe over his head until her could solve this situation.

Any way these are the two general approaches that I can see to deal with our current situation we technically could try to fight but I doubt that it would work out well particularly with Tin Solider ability of Battle Butler. Unless Scootlaloo could distract him long enough for us to capture and hold Spoiled in a position that we could then leverage Tin Soilder into doing as we ask such as taking a couple of dosages of the Truth Pills and then having Scootaloo getting him horny enough to let his lust take control. But I highly doubt that she could do it

What ever we chose to do I do not think we should have Spoiled as a ally she is to likely to stab us in the back and besides I would like to see her perfect image ruined.

Now the other issue which lead to Zexis current situation is Princess Sparkle and her "Friendship Aura" which is affecting our avatar making him feel guilt and wanting to be friends with Twilight. At the moment their is little we can do about this other than have Zexis keep his distance from her until we can increase his stats hopefully increasing our Dominant trait will help with this as it states that it does help protect against mental magic and with our Enhanced Dominance ability it should hopefully be more effective.

All well that all I can think of at the moment and I have a load of paper work to do so that it for now.

yours sincerely

Well, this is a fine pickle.

I recommend hearing her out, seeing what she wants. See if you can find a way to drug her and the butler at the same time, maybe try the incense or something. Best case scenario, we are able to turn her own bodyguard against her, at least temporarily, and have her give in to her lust for a bit. In that case, we could try and blackmail her back with photos or something, provided Zexis has a camera. Spoiled Bitch Rich is solely concerned with her own ego and public standing, meaning if we can dig up some dirt on her, she'll do almost anything to keep it from coming out... just be careful not to let your guard down, she may try to attack you to save her image.

Someone else suggested talking to her husband, trying to corrupt him and thus, her by proxy - let's see if we can't turn her into a proper housewife who knows her true place in society... and it sure ain't at the top!

If anything, it's on all fours at the bottom, sucking on any dick pointed her way.

Once the threat is dealt with, then we can focus again on the kids' proper educations, and on what to do with Twilight. I still recommend saving that corrupted memory potion for her, as it is a guaranteed success - the only barrier would be Zexis' feelings towards her. See if you can make some kind of shielding charm, I think her ambient magic is doing something to your mind. With those feelings out of the way... she's all yours.

Spoiled Rich’s hoofsteps rang sharply throughout the quiet room as she entered, her head held high, and her gaze fixed on Zexis. Zexis stared back at her in shock, transfixed by her icy blue gaze. She scowled at him in disgust.

Tearing his gaze away from her accusing stare, he took in other details of her appearance. His eyes were drawn first to her breasts. He estimated them to be about a C-Cup, the lines of them outlined behind a beautiful purple blouse, with her wide hips accentuated by a flowing black skirt that made her seem to glide as she moved across the ground. Her makeup was clear, but not overdone. A golden necklace graced her neck and two rings on her left hand glimmered brightly, showcasing her wealth.

Under other circumstances, Zexis would have been misled into seeing her as little more than eyecandy. But in that regard, he couldn't have been more wrong. There was a reason why Spoiled Rich was as successful as she was, and it wasn’t just due to riding on her husband's coattails.

"You know, I had been wondering what possessed Cheerilee to give someone like you a teaching position.", mused Spoiled as she ran a finger idly over one of the school desks. She pulled them up and frowned as she saw the dust on her fingertips.

"An Immigrant, with no background, no teaching certificate, and above all else..." she looked Zexis up and down, clicking her tongue. "A stallion.", she said, as if everything was said by that.

As she continued to pace, Zexis looked around, hoping some solution would present itself. Her bodyguard stood by the door, an imposing earth pony with a silver-grey coat and broad frame. A bushy moustache covered most of his face and his brown eyes looked disinterested, as if he was just doing his job. His heavy body made him look smaller than he actually was.

He looked dangerous enough in his own right, but he also had a loaded crossbow in his hand. Currently it was pointed at the floor, but Zexis had no doubt that any threat to Rich would result in a bolt through the chest. At this short range, it would be very hard for even an unskilled crossbowman to miss his mark, and this earth pony had the look of an experienced veteran.

A fight was therefore not a good idea.

Zexis looked beside him. Scoots was laying on the floor. She was still out of it, riding her orgasmic high with a dumb look on her face. Jizz was trickling out of her pussy slowly. Assistance from her was unlikely.

The zebra sighed. He had been caught with his pants down. Literally! He couldn't fight, and escaping would only be marginally better. All in all, his options were very limited. He looked back to Spoiled Rich. "Well, you caught me.", he said, defeated. "So, what do you want?"

"What makes you think I want anything?", asked the mare haughtily. She had stopped pacing and now stood by the window, blocking his escape route. The mare was not stupid, noted Zexis.

"Because you are here, talking with me. If you wanted to turn me in, I think you would have already done it. You could simply have notified the city guard, and they would be arresting me at this very moment. Gloating is something you could do through the bars of a cell while I’m imprisoned. No, the fact that you came in person indicates that you have some motive other than doing your civic duty.”

Spoiled smirked and looked him over once more. She didn't answer immediately, instead letting her eyes wander over to Scootaloo. Again, an expression of disgust crossed her face, but this time coupled with something that sent an uneasy chill down his spine: Calculation.

Eventually, Rich broke the silence. "You are a degenerate, Mr. Chikelu.", she stated. "You are a brute, a liar, and a fillyfooler. You wormed your way into Ponyville, and into this school. A fatal mistake for you."

Her piercing gaze moved back to rest on him once more. "Because you tried to take what is mine." Again that smirk. "The reason why I haven’t called the guard is because I wouldn't get anything out of it. But if I catch you, well. Depending to whom I sell you...."

"I´m sure the Mayor would be much more enthusiastic in supporting my endeavors if I were to lock up a serial sex offender for her. Or I could leverage your misdeeds to gain more influence on the school board." A sadistic smile appeared on her lips as she gave him a knowing look. "And I'm pretty sure Princess Twilight would be very interested to hear what you have been up to. A princess in my debt. Doesn’t that sound lovely?"

Zexis swallowed. He was trying to keep his cool, but panic was starting to set in on the edges of his mind. The situation was deteriorating rapidly. If Twilight found out, she would view him as a horrible pony. Not to mention, all of his plans would be ruined, all of his work for naught!

He shook his head. He needed to focus! There had to be a way out of this. If Spoiled Rich had wanted to ruin him, she could have already done it, without wasting her time here. No, this was a bargaining strategy. She was trying to push up the price by which he had to sell himself.

Zexis looked up to the older mare. She wanted to play this game? Fine, he would oblige her. He cleared his throat. "Fine words. But I don't think that’s really what you want."

"And why not?"

"Because I am much more worth to you as your agent than I am behind bars." Zexis watched her, looking for any reaction.

Spoiled kept her face neutral, but her eyes didn't leave him. "I doubt that. What possible use could a pony like you be?"

"I have talents. Talents that could be much more useful to you even than the favor of a princess.", said Zexis. "I can do things nopony else would be willing to do. I can get rid of rivals and obstacles. I can give you allies and… servants. You want the school? Fine, keep it. But I´m willing to bet that deep down, you desire more than just a ramshackle building with some fillies inside of it."

He leaned back in his chair, parting his legs and letting her get a good view of his toned chest. “Maybe some fun on your own?”, he asked with a confident smile. He didn't count on seducing her, but even just making her flustered would be a win.

Spoiled Rich again showed no reaction, instead inspecting her fingernails. Then she gave a sharp, short laugh. She looked over to her bodyguard. "See? I told you, Tin. He is so predictable."

Zexis shot a confused glance at the stallion, who just shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever you say, ma'am."

Spoiled snickered. Then she stepped forward and grabbed Zexis’ chin, forcing him to look at her again. "I know stallions like you, Mr. Chikelu. You think you can survive in this situation? That you have control? That you can manipulate me? Please."

She let him go, walking back to the window again, and looking out over the schoolyard. "You stallions are so easy to understand. All of your thoughts’ originate from that thing between your legs."

She snorted in disgust. "I don´t need you. Your skills are not as exclusive as you think they are. I can easily afford as many professional sweet-talkers and charming playstallions as I desire. You are an amateur."

She turned around and walked through the door. "We're finished here. I thought you would be worth something. Disappointingly, it is not the case.", she said. "Tin Soldier, notify the princess. We have a friendship problem for her."

Zexis let his head hang. This was it. He had overplayed his hand. There was no other option left to him but to fight. If Spoiled reached Twilight it would be the end for him. As slim as his chances seemed, he needed to attempt to get rid of her and her bodyguard by force.

He tensed up. First, he would strike the stallion. Close the distance before he could raise the crossbow. With a bit of luck, he would be fast enough. Then a kick to the groin, a strike to the neck, crushing his windpipe. After that, he would deal with Spoiled. How he would hide the bodies and cover everything up, he didn´t know. But he could worry about that later.

"Wha---What is going on?"

Just as Zexis was just about to jump into action, a movement to the side caught his eye. Scootaloo was regaining her consciousness. The filly groggily tried to prop herself up, shivering at the cold. "Fuck, that was...awesome.", she mumbled and giggled.

Zexis stared at her. Then he got an idea. "Scoots?", he said, getting her attention.

"Yes?"

"Slap yourself."

SLAP!

Spoiled turned around at the sound. To her surprise, she saw Scootaloo holding her cheek with a grin, a red imprint of her hand on it. "What are you doing?", she asked.

"Following my orders.", answered the young mare, without a care in the world.

Zexis smiled. "Do it again. Harder.", he ordered her.

The orange pegasus nodded and raised her right hand. With a loud slap she hit herself again. Her head rocking to the other side. Instead of wincing at the pain, she grinned happily. Then, without hesitation, she repeated the process. Left, right, left, right. Slapping herself over and over, shivering and twitching.

Finally she stopped, with swollen cheeks, shivering from arousal and pain. Zexis looked to Spoiled, who stood at the door staring at the filly. Her expression conveyed a mix of disgust, bewilderment and, again, cold calculation.

"Can your money buy that too?", he asked softly.

She looked at him, now with renewed interest. "What did you do to her?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "I trained her. With my...skills." He grinned.

The mare didn´t grin back. But she didn't walk out either. Instead her gaze moved back to Scootaloo again. The filly was now absentmindedly fingering her cum-stained pussy, not minding that she was naked in the slightest. Or caring about the fact that Spoiled was watching her.

Finally, she nodded. "Change of plans. You will come over to my mansion tomorrow morning.", she told Zexis. She pointed at her bodyguard. "He will pick you up."

Zexis gave a big sigh of relief on the inside, but kept his face neutral. "When?"

"You will know when.", answered Spoiled Rich and walked out the door. Her butler followed her, but not before throwing a last look at Zexis and Scootaloo. Then, shouldering his crossbow, he walked away.

Zexis waited until he was certain they were out of earshot. Then he slumped down on his chair, throwing his face in his hands. "Too fucking close.", he mumbled. All the tension left his body and he took several deep breaths to regain his composure.

"Damn right! I nearly climaxed.", commented Scootaloo, pointing at her red cheeks. Then she gave him a greedy smile. "Wanna help with that?"

Zexis gave her a playful slap, and the filly giggled in delight.

The next morning, Flower Shop

Zexis paced nervously back and forth in front of the Flower Shop. He had waited for close to an hour now, and his patience was wearing thin. He was very well aware that this was just another game Spoiled Rich played with him. She was letting him stew in his discomfort.

The problem was, even knowing this Zexis couldn't do much about it. At any time, Spoiled could change her mind, and send the guard to show up and arrest him. He couldn't rest easy. Even worse, he couldn't even prepare much beyond the basics. He needed time for that and her envoy could show up at any moment.

His teeth grated, even while he tried to keep on a happy facade, as customers visited the store. Most greeted him and he waved back as if everything was alright. Thankfully most of the ponies that came by weren't very astute, or if they were, they weren't making an issue of his discomfort.

While he waited, he noticed that there seemed to be more stallions visiting the Flower Shop than usual. Good, that meant that the girls advances towards them had finally paid off. Coupling the flowers themselves with some of the trinkets they added to the bouquets had apparently caused a rumor to spread in town that their flowers brought good luck for ponies in love.

Zexis sighed. That was one item of good news, at least. Roseluck had also recuperated enough to start working again, though she still seemed off, and needed to take a lot of breaks to cool off. But when this happened, her friends covered for her, and so far nopony had seen the need to pry deeper. But Zexis was aware that wouldn't work forever. He needed to step up his game, if he wanted to keep Roseluck’s strange behaviour under wraps. The town needed to see her newfound promiscuity as something normal.

As he looked up, he finally saw the butler approaching. He wore a long leather-jacket that metal studs in it. Coupled with the heavy crossbow over his back, he looked more like a warrior than a butler. It looked especially jarring when seen in the picturesque setting of Ponyville. Zexi wondered if he did it on purpose, or just wasn´t aware of it.

He stepped up and bowed his head slightly. "Mrs. Rich will see you now, Mr. Chikelu.", he said. His voice was not too deep and had a raspy tone to it, like he had sand in his throat.

Zexis nodded. "I guess you’ll show me the way?"

The stallion nodded and gestured for the zebra to follow him.

As they walked down the road, Zexis cast oblique glances at his guide. With the daylight, he managed to pick up a few more details. The guard's eyes’ were in constant motion, flicking between passing ponies, doorways, alleys, and other possible sources of threat. His gait gave the impression of controlled power, with no wasted motion. It seemed like this stallion was always on guard. A former soldier, perhaps?

"I didn't catch your name last time.", said Zexis in hopes of getting a conversation going.

"That's because I didn't tell you."

Zexis sighed. was it too much to ask for a soldiering type like him to exhibit any kind of sociability? Then again, this guy had seen him fucking Scootaloo so it was to be expected that he would not have warm feelings towards Zexis.

"Well, what is your name then?"

"Tin Soldier."

"Soldier. So, you used to be in the guard?"

"No." The reply was curt, obviously intended to curtail any further discussion.

An uncomfortable silence fell over them. The stallion was obviously not interested in talking, but what could break through the ice. Zexis pondered the question as they passed by various shops, stalls and merchants hawking their wares. If he could only get the soldier to open up to him a little, he could prove to be a valuable resource.

Perhaps humor would work. Zexis tried again. “So, your boss's name is Filthy? Do you take mud baths together or something?"

The guard sighed, and continued on, ignoring him.

Zexis pushed ahead, unabashedly.

“Because, if you do--”

"We're here.", interrupted Tin Soldier.

Zexis looked up, and took a few steps back. They stood before an iron gate. A path leading through a well manicured lawn stretched before them. It led to the porch of an extravagant manor house, with many floors, and large bay windows. On either side of the path, large fountains burbled noisily, and a large flower garden suffused the air with sweet aromas. The manor itself was big enough that Zexis was sure that before Twilight's Castle popped up, it must have been the biggest building in town.

It took a moment for Zexis to notice that his jaw was open. He quickly closed it, as Tin Soldier opened the gate and led him inside. As they walked past the garden, Zexis could see two mares tending the flowers and greenery.

Inside the manor, the main hall was filled with riches. Full sets of display armor stood like silent sentinels along one wall, and large portraits depicting famous ponies were on display. Every visible surface seemed to consist of either marble or gold. An elderly butler met them at the door, nodded to tin, then moved away.

Zexis looked around and suddenly felt very self-conscious about his leather-jacket and jeans. On the other hand, he noticed that all of the wealth being displayed seemed very...on the nose. It was like the owners of this mansion wanted ponies to witness their power, practically throw it in their face. It didn't have that subtle beauty of the Friendship Castle, or the confident dominance of Canterlot. No, this seemed more like the house of somepony who was used to being poor and now was overcompensating by indulging in gaudy displays of wealth.

At that moment, a door to the side opened and a middle-aged stallion stepped forth. His skin, underneath a formal black business suit and white undershirt, was of a light-brown color with his black mane styled neatly back. He saw Zexis and gave a perfect business smile, flashing a set of perfect white teeth. The kind that showed just enough friendliness without committing to the emotion strongly.

"Ah, Mr. Chikelu. So nice to see you. I am Filthy Rich. Please call me Rich.", he said in a jovial tone of voice and stepped forward to shake Zexis hand. "I have heard a lot of good things about you."

Zexis hid his surprise and smiled back. Apparently Spoiled had not told her husband. Curious. And convenient.

He took Mr. Rich´s hand. "Thank you for inviting me."

"You are most welcome, to be sure, although the invitation actually originated with my wife. She is most eager to meet you. You really seem to have caught her eye.", explained Filthy Rich and laughed. "Do I need to be worried?"

"Certainly not”, Zexis assured him, smiling. “It likely has to do with the education of your daughter. Diamond has been slacking on her homework these past few weeks."

"Ah, yes. That might be it." Filthy nodded slowly. "That filly is in her rebellious phase right now. It had to come sooner or later. Though my dear wife seemed to have problems with her attitude. I´m sure--"

"Filthy, dear, we must not keep our guest standing in the foyer.", A voice sounded from above. Spoiled Rich was descending the central staircase. In contrast to yesterday, she now wore blue, slim pants that hugged her bottom, and a black shirt with a tight collar and long sleeves that puffed out near her hands.

"There you are, Spoiled. I was just having a nice chat with Mr. Chikelu here and--", started her husband.

"And you have important business to tend to. It would be unwise to spend an undue amount of time here with my guest, darling. Let me see to him, I have certain matters I want to discuss with him that you needn’t trouble yourself with.”

"Well, yes. But I thought--"

"Filthy. Less thinking, more working. I take care of all unpleasantries. You focus on the things you’re good at.", interrupted Spoiled once more, and this time Zexis could hear the venom in her voice.

Filthy shut his mouth. He threw an apologetic smile to Zexis before quietly leaving the hall. The zebra looked after him. It was pretty obvious who truly ran this mansion.

"Don't you think you should treat your husband better?", he commented.

"Worry less about my marriage, and more about your own life, Mr. Chikelu. I am still playing with the idea of throwing you to the dogs. Figuratively speaking." She gestured him to follow her. "Come now. I want to discuss your situation in private."

They walked up the stairs, and then through a hallway. At the end of it, Tin Soldier opened a door and Zexis stepped into what seemed to be Spoiled’s private room. On the wall, he could see a portrait of a mare, who looked like a younger version of Spoiled Rich. There was also a table, build out of white wood, with a tea-set on it.

Zexis opened his mouth, but Spoiled spoke first. "Tin, please give me some tea. Black, with lemon.", she ordered and her butler nodded, took the kettle and poured her in. Spoiled sat down and Zexis did the same. He noticed that he got no tea. Again, a clear play by Spoiled to show him who was in charge.

The mare sipped from her tea-cup and looked at him with scrutiny. For a while nopony said anything.

Zexis leaned back, letting his eyes wander over the room. He noticed that she had a bookshelf. He couldn’t quite get a good view of it from where he sat, but he was pretty sure he could see a version of The Princess by Marechiavelli. There was also a cupboard, big enough so one could walk into it, and a king-sized bed. This in particular caught his eye. It told him that Spoiled did not sleep with her husband.

"How did you do it?", asked Spoiled finally, interrupting the silence.

"Come again?"

"How did you train that no-good tomcolt? Scootaloo. She seemed...transformed."

Zexis pondered that question. He needed to be careful here, what information he gave her. Too much and he would be giving away his secrets. Too little and she could lose her patience and surrender him to the authorities.

"I have a certain talent, when it comes to mares. I saw that Scootaloo was vulnerable and I took advantage of that. A few nice words, a bit of empathy, and soon I could control her completely. Instilling loyalty in her was easy, considering I was the only one who could satisfy her."

Spoiled raised an eyebrow. "Satisfy? What, she likes the pain?"

Zexis nodded. "She is masochist. A dirty little secret that she hid. I just gave her the opportunity to... indulge in it. That was all."

"That was all...", repeated Spoiled. Then she smirked in disgust. "Degenerate little miscreant. I knew that she wasn't right in her head."

Zexis grit his teeth. He didn't like how she referred to Scoots. Sure, she was a weird filly. But she was only seeking pleasure, and this bitch had no right to insult her for that. At least, not without Zexis’ approval.

"I don't believe you."

Zexis looked up in surprise. Spoiled’s eyes pierced his and her smirk was once more replaced by her cold, calculating look. "That tomcolt is many things, but she is not stupid. Otherwise, I would have managed to get rid of her and her meddling friends a long time ago. You used something else."

Zexis shook his head. "I swear to you, there was nothing else. I-I just...know how to push some buttons when it comes to mares. That´s all. Really!"

"Really? Yeah, right.” Sarcasm dripped from her voice. “Because you’re so smart, Mr. Chikelu. Smart enough to get caught with your pants down while fucking a filly in school!", Spoiled sneered. "You can't fool me. I know that you did something to Diamond. When I came to pick her up, she was quiet. Obedient. She hasn´t been like that for years. What did you do!?"

"Nothing! I’m just a simple teacher.", protested Zexis, now sweating.

Spoiled sighed and turned to Tin Soldier. "Call the guards. I’m done with this idiot."

Zexis jumped up, rocking the table and almost knocking over Spoilers cup, as he gesticulated wildly. "Wait! Wait!", he yelled in panic. "Fine! I admit it! I...drugged her!"

Spoiled smirked. She pursed her lips and whistled. Tin stopped at the door and returned to his old position, guarding his mistress. "I knew it. What did you use? How did you get it?"

Zexis sat down again, his head hanging in defeat. "It´s...an aphrodisiac. I made it myself.", he admitted.

The mare nodded, as if she had expected his admission. "That explains it. I take it that you used it on Cheerilee as well?"

When she saw Zexis nod, she laughed.

"What's so funny?"

"Oh, Mr. Chikelu. It's just...you stallions always try to rise above your station. Whether it be through money, marriage, or in your pathetic case, sex. And you still fail every time. Because you can never see beyond your own genitalia.", she explained smugly. "Unlike we mares. We are the rational gender. What you try to achieve with brute force, we acquire with wit. We can control our emotions. And that’s why we control you. Or in this case, I."

She pointed at the tea-cup which had nearly been knocked over in Zexis’ outburst. Tin stepped closer, wiping away the fluid that had sloshed out, and then filled up the cup. Spoiled picked it up delicately, and took a deep sip. "Hmm, I just love tea.", she mused.

"At any rate, it’s about time you realize who is in charge here. I own you, Mr. Chikelu. I can ruin your life with a snap of my finger.", she explained. Then she laughed loud. "Heck, I can ruin Scootaloo’s and Cheerilees life, while I am at it, given how they are involved."

Zexis just sighed and ran his hand over his face. "What do you want?", he asked.

Spoiled hiccuped and then giggled. "I want your loyalty. And your skills.", she answered.

"I want more to be just the wife of a successful business-stallion. I want to get higher, to Canterlot. And I want this town under my hoof. School, mayor, princess. All of them.", Her breath quickened, and he could see her rising excitement. "And you are going to help me with that." She gave him an evil grin.

So this is what it feels like, thought Zexis. To be used and manipulated. He couldn’t say it was a nice feeling. But he would manage. "And what do you have in mind...mistress?"

Spoiled leaned back and her grin got wider. "Hmmm, I like that. Address me from now on like that.", she said. "As for what I have in mind...well, given your abilities and this drug of yours...."

"I want you to deal with that pesky Applejack! Make her agree to sell her apples to a better price to my husband and stop being such a nuisance."

Zexis looked up in horror. "No! I can´t do that. She is an Element. Not to mention, I’m friends with her brother. You can’t ask me to betray his family!"

"Silence!", snapped Spoiled Rich and took another deep sip from her tea. "You know what? I’m gonna double down. I want you to break her! Fuck her, for all I care. That mare has been a thorn in my hoof long enough now, not to mention that her sister corrupted my Diamond. So, take care of her, or I will take care of you!"

Zexis shivered, but relented. He clenched his fists to stop them from shaking and lowered his head. "I-I...I will. Just, please. Don't screw me over.", he begged.

"Do your part and I won't.", said Spoiled. "I will give you two days to come up with a plan. After that you have a month to fulfill this task. Fail and you will suffer the consequences." She emptied the cup and let it fall on the table. "I’ve never felt so alive!", she murmured and smiled.

"Oh, and something else.”, she added. “You will leave my daughter alone. None of these supplementary lessons and the like."

"Why?"

"Why? Because she is my daughter, you simpleton.", spat the mare. "I need an heir for this family, even if she doesn't yet appreciate what I'm doing for her. Yes, she is frustrating and sometimes I think it would be better for me if I were to just start over again, but she is not a lost cause yet. I can still marry her off, after all."

She laughed. "I take it back. You do have a way with mares. You certainly got me in the mood for a talk."

Zexis couldn’t hide a smile at that, and avoided her eyes. "Is that all?"

Spoiled Rich giggled and waved her hand. "Yes, that is all. Tin Soldier here will keep you informed about my decisions and you will in turn refer to him if you want to contact me. Now, piss off." She snorted and now poured herself another cup of tea.

Zexis nodded and slowly stood up. Tin opened the door for him and led him down the hallway. Just before Zexis was out of earshot, he could hear Spoiled say. "That’s a good tea..."

Zexis walked down the street, whistling a tune. In his hand he flipped a small, white pill up. It was a hormone pill. One of the same kind he had slipped into Spoiled Riches tea, when he had rocked the table and faked his emotional outburst. After that, it was a simple matter of controlling the conversation and ensuring that Spoiled would let her guard down.

Thanks to that, he had not only gotten her support for corrupting Sweet Apple Acres. He also got a good view on the Riches family situation. A whipped husband, a power-hungry wife and a rebellious daughter.

Zexis closed his hand around the pill and smiled. "We can control our emotions, huh?", he mused and looked back at the mansion. "Funny, how that goes..."

Author's Note

And we got this one out.

Quite a busy month for me. Planned for this one to be finished earlier, but my back didn´t play so we got that delay.

And don´t think Spoiled is now dealt with. Oh no, there is a lot more to come with that mare. Zexis just manages to salvage the situation a bit, thats all.

The next chapter will be an Interlude. About time, we got another one. I figured this would be good time to do it, since some of you had been complaining about doing before boos-battles scewed the results of leveling.
So we do it now, which should maybe result in a more nuanced result. Or not, we will see.

This also means, as usual, but I repeat it for all new readers: DO NOT POST SUGGESTIONS!

They will be ignored by me, which will be a shame if they are good. Use the comments to instead ask personal questions at Eros. About history, the world or other things you are wondering. The Interlude serves as a mix of Q&A and worldbuilding, so use it to aquire information and give me chance to flesh out this world.

Other than that, I look forward to your comments and to writing the next chapter.

See you.
