Another month passed before a day Blueblood had been looking forward to finally arrived; the day where he was finally leaving Canterlot to start a much needed vacation. He felt happier and happier as the train took him ever further away from Canterlot and his responsibilities and was looking forward to reaching his private retreat on the shores of Horseshoe Bay.

The timing was also perfect in regards to Sky Flower; he was once again growing bored with the mare. With reluctance she had told Prince Blueblood that she wouldn't be able to accompany him on his retreat with how long he planned to be away for, which was fine by him. She no longer cried when he fucked her ass nor did she react like she used to when she sucked his cock clean after each fucking, not to mention he was just growing tired of using the same mare over and over. Still, it would have been nice to have her to suck his cock during the train ride to his vacation home. Maybe he'd find a mare to keep him entertained on the trip back.

Once the train pulled into its final stop in Baltimare, Blueblood made his way to the hotel he would stay in for the night before he took the short drive to his private vacation spot. Of course the hotel he chose was the most luxurious one in the city, the Biltmare Hotel, and of course the prince was given the Celestia Suite on the top floor. The four room suite had almost every luxury a pony expected to find in a millionaires mansion, though for Blueblood it was missing one important thing...

'Let's see, where should I go tonight?' Blueblood thought as he mulled over a map of various night clubs and bars that may have what he was looking for.

He selected a club about two blocks away, choosing it due to its popularity and close proximity to his hotel. It didn't take him long to get ready to go out for the night; most young stallions would have to dress up and rely on drinks, cheesy pick-up lines, and large amounts of cash to take a young mare home. However, he was Prince Blueblood; the mares he wanted to find would fall for him just by knowing who he was.

Though alcohol would help him as well.

After having a light meal by himself in his room Blueblood headed out to the club he had selected. His arrival caught the bouncers off guard but they of course granted him immediate access. Many of the stallions waiting in line groaned in frustration upon seeing him; it was bad enough for them that the ratio of stallions to mares was almost 3 to 1, but now they would have to compete with royalty in trying to bring a mare home with them.

Blueblood was immediately escorted to a private table and offered anything he wanted by the staff. Sadly for him what he wanted wasn't on the menu but as he looked around he saw a few mares who he wouldn't mind spending some time with. Almost all of them stared at him before conversing with their small groups of friends as they wondered why he was here, and only a few brave mares started scheming how they could approach him and see if he would be receptive to their company.

The first two mares who approached him were definitely pretty but not what he was looking for. They were loud and overly dramatic about everything, not to mention they were constantly updating their HoofBook pages on their phones. Blueblood gladly sent them on their way after only ten minutes of talking to them and he resumed his search.

The next mare to approach him was closer to what he was looking for; a young college-aged mare who appeared relatively loose and very flirty. Still, she wasn't exactly what he was looking for as it didn't seem like she was trying to get him to take her home, so after a few minutes of talking he sent her on her way as well.

Just as he was about to approach a mare on his own a sudden commotion by the front door caught his attention. Looking over, he saw that another celebrity was in attendance this evening. He watched as Countess Coloratura herself walked in, accompanied by a familiar looking pony with a long blonde mane and tail. 'I think that's one of Princess Twilight's friends.'

However, he couldn't really care less about who the second mare was as he was much more interested in Coloratura. He thought back to the videos he had of her being fucked by Svengallop and a few other stallions and smiled at the memories, then remembered that he had a few screencaps saved on his own phone. He sent a quick text message to Coloratura's old manager asking for a single piece of information, and within ten minutes he had everything he needed.

By the time Blueblood was prepped Coloratura and her friend had sat down at their own table across the room. Despite the dim lighting and the crowd of ponies in between them Blueblood still held a clear view of the musical pop star and he decided to put his plan into action. He made sure his number would be securely hidden before he sent her a text, the message field void of words and containing one a single picture. Within mere seconds the pic was sent across the room, though it took a while for Coloratura to realize anypony had sent her a message before she pulled out her own phone and opened the text.

Blueblood watched in fascination as he saw Coloratura's expression change from casual and carefree to horror and pain. Her friend leaned over and probably asked her if everything was okay, to which the singer quickly masked her expression and seemed to insist that everything was fine. Blueblood sent another text, this time a message.

Didn't want to show your friend how you became a star?

Coloratura received the message moments later, her face once again betraying her feelings. She excused herself momentarily and headed for the mare's room, but as soon as she entered it Blueblood's phone vibrated to signal he had received a message of his own.

Who is this? Where did you get that from?

The thought of blackmailing her into coming back to his hotel with him and perhaps his vacation home crossed Blueblood's mind but he regretfully decided against it. He was already playing with fire but revealing who he was would surely ruin the good thing he had going; it was one thing to blackmail a useless mare who was a nopony, but a star such as Countess Coloratura had powerful friends as well, including Princess Twilight Sparkle. For now, he would have to settle with messing with her anonymously.

Stumbled across that video online,a few others too

A slight pause followed before Coloratura replied.

What do you want?

Blueblood smiled. 'At least the dumb cunt knows when she's being blackmailed.' he thought as he texted his reply.

Let's see your tits right now.

A long pause followed, but Blueblood noted she had not emerged from the bathroom yet. Finally, after an almost five minute delay, a photo arrived on Blueblood's phone.

He opened the picture and was not disappointed. He found himself looking at Coloratura taking a selfie of herself, her face scowling in anger as she lifted her shirt and bra up with her free hand, exposing her perfect tits to the world, or at least to him. He quickly saved it before deleting his message history and resumed scouting the room for potential mares to take back with him, but his eye did catch Coloratura finally leaving the bathroom and returning to her table. She was unable to hide her upset mood upon her return, causing her friend to force the issue out of the pop star. The two conversed as best as they could in the loud club before Coloratura's friend happened to look up and locked eyes with Blueblood, then quickly turning to her upset friend and speaking excitedly while pointing in his direction.

'The fuck is going on?' Blueblood wondered.

Suddenly the friend started pulling Coloratura up from their table and directed her towards him. Blueblood knew there was no way either of the two mares could know that he was the one responsible for the blackmailing message but he was nonetheless apprehensive of why they were coming towards him. He was about to find out soon, though, as the two mares came up right to his table and stood before him.

"Beg pardon, sir, but mah friend here needs your help real bad." the blonde pony said, tipping her stetson hat politely. "Mah name's Applejack, and this here is Coloratura."

The mare's name finally clicked in Blueblood's head. Applejack, friend of Princess Twilight Sparkle, as well as one of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. He politely smiled and shook hands with them. "Ah yes, of course, I thought I recognized you two." he said. "I was actually just about to leave myself to have a drink back in my room since it's a tad noisier than I like in here. Perhaps you two would like to join me and we can talk about your troubles?"

Both mares agreed and followed Blueblood out to his waiting chauffeur. Applejack found it completely crazy to take a limo to the hotel when she could see the front doors just a few hundred yards away but she climbed in for the short trip. She was amazed by the luxury found inside the vehicle but her eyes nearly popped out of her head as she strode into the Celestia Suite.

"Whoo-ee! Now this here is one fancy place ya got here." Applejack commented as the trio entered Blueblood's suite.

Coloratura simply nodded in agreement though her mind was certainly in another place. She sat down next to AJ on the couch while Blueblood sat down in a chair opposite them and summoned the hotel-provided butler to bring them all their drink of choice and a small selection of snacks. In a mere four minutes all three ponies had their chosen selections and once the butler left Blueblood decided to get down to business.

"So what can I do for you two young mares?" he asked innocently.

Applejack took the lead. "Again, real sorry for intrudin' on ya so sudden, but we need your help with this real quick. My friend Rara here has somepony tryin' to blackmail her."

Coloratura nodded while Blueblood adopted a look of concern. "Blackmail? Are they trying to extort bits from you?"

"I don't know." Coloratura finally spoke up. "They only asked for, um..."

"For what?" Blueblood asked after a few moments of silence.

Applejack placed a supportive arm around her friend. "It's okay, Rara. Ya'll can tell him."

Coloratura took a deep breath. "They wanted me to send pics of myself. Of me showing my body."

Blueblood did his best to stop from becoming aroused by the mare's distressed state. "That's terrible." he said. "Do you have any idea who it may be? What did they try holding against you?"

"I don't know who would do this." she said after some thought. "They... they already have one picture of me and said they have more."

Blueblood nodded. "Do you still have the messages? I'd like to see it as evidence if you don't mind."

Coloratura looked to Applejack for help and her friend nodded. "It's okay, Rara. It's to help catch that no good scum."

With a defeated whimper, Coloratura handed over her phone to Blueblood with the messages between her and the mystery pony open. Blueblood thanked Celestia that any information that could link him to the issue was indeed blocked out and began rereading the threats he made to her. He made a show of surprise as he saw the picture Coloratura was being blackmailed with and made an even bigger gasp of surprise when he saw the photo she had sent her tormentor at the very end.

Coloratura blushed in embarrassment at Blueblood's reactions. She had put to rest the memories of what she had done with Svengallop a while ago but now had no clue how she would do so again now that a member of the royal family had seen her in such an intimate setting, not to mention a clear photo of her flashing her tits. She couldn't even look Blueblood in the face when he handed the phone back to her and he placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"It looks like they covered their tracks pretty well." he said gravely. "Do you at least know who had this first photo or the videos mentioned?"

Of course she knew who had the only copies of all her compromising pictures and videos. However, there was no way she could admit to all the degrading and humiliating things she had done to win the record company's favor and rise to stardom, even if it meant being blackmailed by an unknown pony and forced to expose herself even further. Why anypony would want to see her naked when they had those videos of her, she had no idea, but having to show Blueblood her compromising photos and explaining everything she had ever done, then telling Celestia-knows how many more ponies when the case went to court... Oh goddesses, what if she had to tell Princess Celestia herself and show her the humiliating content?!

"Stop!" Coloratura exclaimed in tears.

Applejack and Blueblood jumped slightly at the sudden outburst. "Rara, what's wrong?" Applejack asked.

"No more! I changed my mind, I don't want this investigated any further." she said, falling into Applejack's arms and sobbing.

Applejack opened her mouth to try to convince her friend that the matter did indeed need to be looked into but Blueblood spoke up first. "I know it's all very traumatizing, so try to calm down for now." he instructed her.

It took a while for Coloratura to stop crying and lift herself back up. "I'm sorry, everypony, but I can't go through all of this. I don't want to pursue this any further. I'm sorry." she said, the last part mainly to Applejack.

The country mare felt her heart break due to her friend's pain. "Rara, ya can't really mean that."

Blueblood was a bit more 'understanding' of Coloratura's pain. "It can be traumatic to deal with something like this for anypony. You're not still on tour, are you?" he asked.

Coloratura shook her head. "No, I finished last month. I was going to take some time off and travel around Equestria to relax, but now... I..."

An opportunity presented itself to Blueblood and there was no way in Tartarus he could pass it up. "Well, Ms. Coloratura, why don't you come spend some time with me at my private getaway? I was actually headed there tomorrow for my own vacation but I would love some company. It's a completely secluded piece of land on Horseshoe Bay and guarded so you'd be perfectly safe there as well. And of course, you are more than welcome as well, Ms. Applejack."

"That's mighty nice of ya to offer but ah gotta head back to Ponyville to help with the family farm." Applejack said regretfully.

Coloratura thought over the offer for a while before she made up her mind. "That does sound nice... are you sure I won't be bothering you?"

Blueblood shook his head with a smile. "It's be my pleasure to host you. Perhaps some time there will help change your mind."

"Thank you." Coloratura said with her first smile in quite a while.

Blueblood returned hers with one of his own. "Of course." he replied. "Before you know it, all these problems will be just a memory."
