The after party

"Bye Suliman, have a nice trip" I wave at the king of the giant as he and his wife wave back at Cadence and me. I'm more honest that Cadence that was mostly force to play along with my charade once she dive head first into my improvised 'party' with the ice giants. "Hey don't forget, we still need to have that goofball game, sometime"

"Je you got it pal, better prepare your game face because I will go all out"

"Bring it" we share a laugh as he keep walking with his wife to the exit.

I smile as they are out of earshot and see the doors of the castle starting to close, knowing full well what is going to happen next.

And three…two…

The moment the door were close Cadence drop her smile and glare at me "What was that?!"

"What do you mean honey?"

"Oh don't you 'honey' me mister, I'm really angry at you right now, you took a very delicate and important meeting with our very aggressive and military advance neighbours, and turn into a…a party!"

"Eeyup" I reply with a smile as I look at her "And now they left, laughing and seeing us as allies and close friends, witch in my book means less risk of a war"

"That is not how things work! there are process, deals, negotiation did you even make them sigh an agreement in trade routes?!"

"Oh yeah…they agree to lets us cross using after using one of our tactics"

"Playing matchmaker is not one our tactics!" she say getting angrier.

"Ok, one you are the princess of love…isn't that in your description? and two, I didn't see you complain when the executives of agriculture make out and came with an agreement of routes"

She try to rebut but I beat her to it "…And made a faster and better progress with them in one day that we have ever done in years correct" She stop and can only glare as I continue "So while it was not how we do things here, now we have a powerful ally, a commercial route and the trust of their race if anything happen to either of our nation…Exactly what this meeting was all about right honey?"

"Well yeah but…its not like…what you did was…agh!" Cadence try to argue back but can't find the angle on how to talk and just start to pass back and forward trying to think. "Are you angry sweetie?"

"Of course I'm angry! Yeah you gave this nation a huge favour and possible create the first piece treated with the ice giants ever made…but you did it without consulting me first and without using protocol, I'm both proud and furious right now I…aght! I don't know what to say now!"

Gotcha, now sex is the last thing you will ever think for weeks I mentally air fist as I start to leave "Looks like there is a lot in your mind honey, don't worry I will let you sort your thoughts in peace, in the mean while I will spend the nights in the dog house"

I try to leave but the door are suddenly cover in a pink aura and close before Cadence teleport in front of me with a glare "What was that?"

"Well, since you are so mad and proud me at the moment, I imagine that the last thing you want is to share a bed with the stallion that put you in that state of mind on the first place"

"Oh what a considering thing to do. Getting away from me even more when you haven't done anything but avoid me ever since this morning"

"I'm just want to help you you with your stress"

"You know darn well that my stress goes away with a blowjob and quick anal session" she say with a accusing hoof. Witch make me flinch once more, not for the argument but because that is the second time she just casually talk about her sex life.

"Wait a minute" She suddenly stop and start to talk out loud while putting her hoof under her chin. "The random party; force me to play along in front of the ambassador; hiding behind Flurry; offering yourself to sleep on the dog house" She gasp in realisation before glaring at me once more "You did this on purpose!"

Wow have to handed to her, that was a good deduction, je but it doesn't matter I already won. Just need to keep her angry

I give her my best smug face and take a step closer "Maybe, but I still did my job as a prince and as parent, so there is nothing you can scowl me for"

She try to argue but only grunt in frustration, as I laugh a little and start to walk to the door once more. "Looks like you will have to remain angry at me for a while" I try to open the door but I found them lock.

"For a while" I see how Cadence stand to attention in realisation and turn around to point at me with a smile on her face "Now I get your plan! You are trying to put me off the mood"

"What? No"

Damn it! I gave her too many clues, ok I can still save this, just need to not show fear

"Oh yes you are, you probably heard my talk with Dr. Care, and ran away to think of ways for me to be off the mood" It was Cadence to have a smug smile on her face. "Well I have news for you buster is not going to work, I'm familiar with angry sex too, so get ready for a good buck!"

She ran toward me making me flinch but I wasn't going fall without a fight. "Are you really sure you can get in the mood, after what happen and how are you feeling right now?"

Cadence was force to stop right in front of me, still with her smug coping my own. "Just you watch me" She try to kiss me but stop near inches away "Just have too…" she try again but the same result happen "Maybe if I…" she try to kiss different parts of my body but an invisible force seem to prevent her from intimacy contact. "BUCK!"

She finally yell and step back "That Is what I though, now if you will be so kind as to unlock the door I will be on my way to the dog house"

"Oh no" She say looking at me with an angry smile "You are not going to get away from this that easy Shining, you are going to spend the night right next to me!"

"Cadence give it a rest, you just saw it, you are as cold as the snow outside, nothing is going to happen"

"Maybe not tonight, but now that I discover your little scheme, it's so ON!" she poke me with her hoof and unlock the doors "Starting tomorrow I will bring my A game mister. You are not the only one that can scheme plans. So better stay alert…" she gets close to me and whisper into my ear "…because I'm going to make you buck me like there is no tomorrow"

She gets back and smile with her usual calm smile "Its getting pretty late, lets retire to our bedroom tonight shall we?" Cadence mention as she start to leave the room putting extra effort to swag her flanks while walking. "What? but…but the frustration, the stress the…"

"Shining I will put it like this…either you come to bed with me right now, or I wait until you are sound sleep sneak on to your room and wake you up by administrating blow jobs" she say in the same sweet and calm voice.

Sighing in defeat I just nod "Coming dear"

"That is what I though" As we continue to walk to her rooms I couldn't help but to watch throw a window and see some snow falling and in the distance the train of the crystal empire leave the station.

And where the hell is Twilight now? By this point she should had figure out something was wrong with me, and Shining probably proved that he was really him, they are siblings after all, he must had know something of Twilight nobody else knew. What the hell is taking her so long?!

Back in Ponyville the purple princess and a human on a hood are currently discussing with a train conductor in ponyville station. "I'm really sorry princess but like I told you, any route to the crystal empire is close"

"What? Why?" The human ask, in anger.

The conductor point a hoof at the distance where a storm cloud its seeing "Do you see that cloud over there in route to the empire?"

"Yes?"

"That is the signal that windigoes are in the area, this time of the year its their mating season and they gather right there in the middle of the roads to do the deed. Witch means that going there is just suicide, if the extreme cold, doesn't kill you, a really angry and horny windigo will finish the job, and may Celestia have mercy on you if you encounter a female Windigo, when getting mad, they can froze solid fire in instant" The conductor explain

"Oh no, that also mean chariot, and sending messages is out of the question too" The human say shaking his head

"What about teleportation?" Twilight ask

"From here to the empire? miss I don't know how strong your magic is, but I don't think even Celestia herself can do that titanic jump from point A to point B, if you are lucky you will reach half way throw and well…"

"Yeah I understand, windigoes once more"

"So you see?, the connection to the crystal empire will have to be close for a while.

"Ah exactly, how long does their mating season last?" Twilight ask

"You are in luck princess according to the weather ponies, those rascals must be wrapping things up by now, so you will only have to wait a week, their mating season is almost over but it will take time to defrost the rail roads so they are safe to travel"

"A week!" The human groan and sit on a near by bench.

"If I may ask why such a hurry to reach that place?" The conductor ask and Twilight just sigh "Its…a long story" she tells him before going to the human to console him.
