Chapter 4

As the airship got closer to Canterlot, I noticed some Equestrian airships, and they seemed to be kept floating via hot air, not lighter than air gas. Soon we were at the landing docks, and slowly we were pulled into the dock via rope that pegasi guards had tied to the ship, when we were locked in place we made our way out of the ship.

Cadence walked off to somewhere else without a word to me or Shining, I think she may be just a little pissed that I rule the Empire and not her, eh like I give a shit weather she likes it or not. Shining Armor asked me to follow him to the throne room, as we walked I noticed only the guards were walking on their hind legs, turning to Shining I asked why. "Hey, why are the guards walking on their hind legs when the servants are walking on all fours?" I tilted my head at a bat pony maid.

Shining chuckled. "All Equestrian ponies can walk on their hind legs, or on all four of them, most ponies walk on all four because it's more comfortable but the guards are trained to walk like that comfortably so they can fire their rifles." We walked past another maid, this one a stallion....not gonna lie, weird, but gender equality and all that shit.

I shrugged. "Eh, makes sense I guess, can't exactly shoot a gun if you can't stand up like that, but speaking of firearms, what kind of guns does Equestria have?"

We walked past the kitchen area, the smell of cake present. "We have revolving rifles, revolvers ,and double barrel shotguns, we keep swords and spears in case we ever run out of ammunition, cartridge ammunition came about eighty years ago, some ponies are trying to make better guns to shoot with, but most tend to be bulky and unreliable."

As he finished his explanation we got to the throne room Shining Armor walked in with me, when I walked in I saw the throne room I saw in the MLP movie, with two thrones side by side, Luna's throne was empty. Shining Armor bowed, somehow he had come back within seconds, seemingly without me noticing, creepy fucker, either way I didn't bow which the guards did not like at all as one came up to me. "Bow to the princess ape."

I looked at him like he was a moron. "I will not bow, because one, she's not MY princess, and secondly, I'm the King of the Crystal Empire." It took all my willpower not to laugh as he paled as he realized he just insulted a king and backed off.

Princess Celestia looked just like she did in the show, aside from a simple gold colored dress she had on. "I presume you are the one my captain Shining Armor wrote about in his letter?"

I nodded. "Yup, nice to meet ya, names Lorenzo, or if ya wanna get fancy, King Lorenzo or Emperor Lorenzo, current ruler of the Crystal Empire."

Celestia chuckled. "Since I have no doubt the Crystal Empire is in need of aid and supplies would you like to set up a trade agreement?"

This actually wasn't the case, the Empire had a lot of stored foodstuffs, plenty of fresh drinkable water as well due to the snow. "Actually the Empire is pretty fine on its own, with my help and the help of most its citizens." I explained and sat on a chair a guard had brought to me.

"Oh?" Celestia tilted her head,one of her ears flopping to the side, daww it took most my will power not to daw and hug her, you would to, don't lie to me all you bronies and pegasisters out there.

Nodding I went on. "Yes, due to me and teams of researchers the Crystal Empire has made leaps and bounds in the field of medicine and other things such as robotics." That last part was mostly true, I just set ten robot workbenches to build twenty of each robot from the game every ten hours.

Princess Celestia raised an eyebrow while keeping her head tilted to the side. "Robotics? like golems?"

I nodded again. "Yes, but from what Shining Armor told me on the trip here my Empire's robots are much more advanced than your golems."

Celestia nodded solemnly. "From what he described I would sadly have to agree, perhaps I can call a meeting of the worlds leaders and we can set up trade agreements in exchange for some of your golems."

I shrugged. "Maybe, maybe not, I'm not sure about giving anyone this tech since its strictly owned by the Crystal Empire." It was at this point the one pony I would shoot without regret walked in.

"AUNTY! the maid responsible for cleaning my royal chambers did not show up and has called in sick, I request you fire her." His tone, oh my fucking god I want to shoot him with a mini nuke.

Celestia rubbed her forehead with a hoof. "Blueblood, I will not fire a maid for being sick, and I'm in the middle of a meeting with the ruler of another kingdom."

Blueblood sneered. "Aunty you know I take priority over some stupid meeting." It was at this point he noticed me. "Gah! aunty there's a monster in the throne room, kill it!" Blueblood squealed like a woman who saw a mouse in the shower.

I cleared my throat. "I'll have you know I am King Lorenzo, King of the Crystal Empire, not a monster, now shoo Im having a meeting with your princess about meeting the other world leaders."

Blueblood snorted. "I don't care who you are, your not a pony so you are beneath me peasant, since I have graced you with my glorious presence you may kiss the royal hoof." He held out his hoof, to which I pulled out a ten millimeter pistol and shot near his hooves, causing him to scream like a bitch and piss himself.

He started jumping trying to avoid the bullets, I was shooting near him not directly at him, seems he didn't notice. "AUNTY ITS ATTACKING ME! KILL IT KILL IT WITH FIRE! OR BANISH IT TO THE MOON!" Someone remind me to put a hit out on this asshat.

Princess Celestia SNAPPED. "ENOUGH BLUEBLOOD! GET OUT OF MY THRONE ROOM BEFORE I REMOVE YOU MYSELF!" Princess Celestia shouted in the Canterlot voice, causing some windows to shatter into millions of little pieces. Blueblood wisely fled as fast as he could, but not before slipping face first into a puddle of his own piss. Celestia sighed and rubbed her forehead with a hoof, I'm surprised she hasn't offed that fucker yet if we're being honest here, I knew he was a complete dick in the show but for him to really be this stupid and spoiled uhhhg. I put the pistol back into my inventory, speaking of I found quite early on that the pipboy had an O.B.M.S.U or an On Board Matter Storage Unit, can hold up to ten thousand pounds of stuff inside it.

Celestia looked like she was tired of dealing with Blueblood's shit. "I am very sorry about him insulting you, I'm very glad you did not shoot him, despite how...tempting it can be."

That made me laugh. "If he tries to start a fight though I won't hold back next time, but let's put this behind us as I can see you are stressed by what just happened."

Celestia smiled a little. "So anyway I'll try to set up a meeting with the world leaders, but I would like to invite you to the Grand Galloping Gala in a week,and I'll try to set up the meeting with the world leaders about a day after that, would that be alright?"

I nodded. "Sure seems alright, I shall be going now but if you wish to contact me just send a mail pony with a letter."

"Oh before you go, I almost forgot to mention to be wary of dragons, they have become very hostile to all Kingdoms as of late, raiding towns and villages for gold and gems, the frozen north should keep your Empire safe from them but I felt I should warn you anyway so you will be prepared in case anything happens."

After that she had a guard escort me to my airship, I saw Equestrian scientists were staring at it taking notes, I ignored them and walked up the ramp and onto the main deck. "Winter Gust! set sail for the Crystal Empire! where returning home."

She saluted, which was adorable. "Aye aye!" And with that we flew back to the Empire.
