Chris' POV

It has been months after the rebellion, I was now king of zebraic. My first decree was to raise taxes to rebuild the structures to my new city I called Balgone, which I now changed it to. I went over the with Honey comb about the cost to repair the buildings, and what she showed me was a little to much now even for me. In other words, it will take everything out of my new treasury, which had 12k gold pieces to repair everything. So I ordered my builders to fix only whats important, like farming, residence homes, and the gates, along with military training. I was sitting in my new comfortable royal bedroom with golden silk, that looks like it was spindled by the gods, along with a royal bath to fit 15 people. I also had a new armor stash to hang my gear to switch out my clothes, and been wearing a royal cape with white puffy linings with the color tan for my choice by my new royal dress maids.

12:00 in the throne room

I was sitting on my new throne chair which looks like something a Pharaoh of Egypt would sit in. I was listening to Chief Thunder Stomp about an issue which involved the locals, and the tribes of other species not working together like they should. I was also with honey by my side, along with Ashy and her sister on the far side of the throne room, and Mango was sitting next to her father at the mid part of the throne room.

"I believe we should gather every single tribe from all species to come together in this very room to forge a symbolic union." Chief Thunder Stomp said making a statement to me.

"And what do you mean by that?" I asked with my eyebrow raised with curiosity.

"I mean, we call together all the chiefs of zebraic to come here to hear your judgement my king." After that thunder stomp showed me a piece of paper which looks very old, but reads clear as rain even after all this time.

"What is this?" I asked again.

"Its an old law of which is required to be king of zebraic, one of which you have to choose wisely my king. It says here for a king to rule he first must choose a bride to be his new queen, and it is also required that because of the old kings way maybe barbaric no doubt. But to insure the bonds of allies around you also must choose young females ages 18 to 30 to be apart of your harem to keep your trust in your allies with the marriages with the chief's daughters to insure loyalty, and security with one another." That took me by surprise, I never thought it is required to marry someone to stay in power, but than again like game of thrones. Love and war maybe two different things, however they maybe what I need right now, and besides I was meaning to marry for sometime now.

"Ok I will, thank you for your advice thunder stomp." I said as I got up.

"Of course your majesty , after all I was honored to save the life of my future ruler, and I will give you time to think about it as well." and with that he left with his daughter, now for the gazelle twins.

"We like to make a request from you my king." Zashy spoke up getting my attention.

"What would that be?" I asked her.

"Me and my sister both want a place in your palace as maidens." she said bowing to me hoping for a response.

"Alright you can, but you will still remain as my source, and intel, do I make myself clear?"

"Of course and if you want we could also be part of your harem as well, if you don't mind." she said as both gazelle sisters blushed heavily, and so did I.

"Like I said before I will think about it, but for now I want to check up on my warrior's training process."

"Understood your highness." and they left without saying other word. Now I got up to walk over to the training grounds.

4:34 at the training grounds

I was at the training grounds watching my warriors fight hard with the new weapons I gave them to teach. When I showed up to watch, the young recruits started to punch, kick, and toss each other around to show they were strong, and fierce so I choose one of them to be warriors. But this ain't about strength or brutality, its about using weapons of all sorts even if it is strange, in a way its really useful in close quarters combat. So I ordered my drill sergeants to show them the way I personally thought them in what I learned about fighting in 'Zulu fashion'. It was an old military fighting style by the warlord in the south region of Africa called Shaka Zulu, and how he was successful with how he did it. Now I was bored with the fighting so I went down the halls of my new palace as workers were improving the walls with new paint to keep it from losing its color. So now I thought of another idea one of which will make my new harem very happy, so I told my chief of construction to build me a water wheel one that brings jugs of cool water over the palace, and dumps it on a even level river grove to direct it over the chambers of the palace. At first it was a strange Idea, but I explained to them of its abilities to improve things they went to work right away, and I looked on my iPhone to check it step by step with my personal architect. It took 2 weeks none stop to build along with my best builders, and it was working as it was cooling off everything in the palace, it really feels nice. Got to thank the architect of the Taj Mahal the idea of this, but in the end it works just the same here in this world.

2 weeks later (Time skip) 6:40 in the dining hall

I sat in my seat as me, along with everyone else was eating, and the things they served me was good. I was getting stuffed with their bread in my stomach, it was delicious with their own handmade butter. I was also served a rare meat dinner for me personal, 'I got to kiss who cook this.' I thought to myself with glee. I was done and I headed straight for my room, and when I got their, I undressed to my daily clothing to sleep in. I looked at my iPhone to play games I got myself a high score on walking dead pinball for android, and I looked up military history warlords. I came across an interesting one 'Genghis Khan the prince of conquers' this sounds good, and somewhat educational for history. I was than tired and ready for bed, but before I could get my early rest one of my guards burst in through with a panic look on his face.

"What is wrong?" I asked with concern.

"I got a letter my king, from princess celestia herself." he said while panting out of breath.

"Princess Celestia?" I asked him with curiosity.

"She is the alicorn who raises and lowers the sun everyday, and her little sister Princess Luna raises the moon while watching out for nightmares that lurk in pony's dreams." he explained "This letter just came out of nowhere and was told to bring to you personally sire." he finished and handed it to me as I began to read it.

'Dear New Found Ruler of the zebras'
I have heard of what you have done, and it caused a alarm from not only my kingdom, but many others as well. I was told you personally lead a rebellion to overthrow the pervious ruler to secure freedom for your new friends, and for that I invite you to join me along with the others in the next national meeting to establish trade rights. I also want to see what you look like which sparks my interest, and other rulers from different areas of equestria will be here as well. I will guide you along the castle myself, and show you everything there is to see along with a certain someone I will introduce you to. I also want to know your name as well when you get here, the time for the gala during the next national meeting will take place in canterlot in 8 days, and with that will give you enough time to get here on time. You can bring somepony with you to be at your side during the meeting, or come solo it is entirely up to you.

'Sincerely Princess Celestia of Equestria'

'Wow that went fast on my end, but why would she want to meet me? Maybe she wants to keep close ties with a neighboring country, now that its tyrant king is out peace could come to be here. More importantly who I'm I going to bring?' I thought to myself. So I went down to my throne room to see if anyone was available, But the only person here is honey comb, so I guess its her then.

"Hello honey comb." I greeted her as she turned to face me.

"Oh, what can I do for you my lord?" she asked bowing before me.

"I have got a letter from this Princess Celestia character, and I was wondering if you would accompany me to canterlot castle?" I asked and she smiled with delight.

"Of course my king, I really want to see what equestria has to offer, and we could get fresh supplies to help rebuild our city."

"Alright then it is decided, captain!"

"Yes my king?" a random guard with iron armor said saluting me.

"Have 20 of your best soldiers, were going to canterlot equestria." I said with great hope in my heart.

Celestia's POV In Canterlot Castle

I was now in my castle preparing for the gala, and the national meeting for our empire leaders. I can't wait to meet this human that saved innocents from harm, to think the zebras found themselves a leader to follow is something I have to see. I was focusing on the preparations until six young mares came in, why its my faithful student Twilight Sparkle, and her friends.

"Princess Celestia!" Twilight said as she ran towards me to bow at my feet. "Its so great to see you after all this time."

"I know my student, but remember were both princesses now twilight, you don't have to call me by my title no more." I said making her blush as she rubbed against her head.

"Sorry force of habit, I got your letter telling me, and my friends to meet with you so whats going on?"

"Were not only having yet another grand galloping gala, but a new member of the national meeting as well." I said which sparked the girls interest with bright smiles.

"Oh, I hope this new member of yours like parties cause I will get started right away." Pinkie pie said as she made a dash for the kitchen doors to start baking.

"Heck yay! I want to see if this new member is competitive as I am." Rainbow Dash said boasting as usually while hovering above her friends.

"I for one want to see if this pony wears good amount of clothing, maybe I could make some." Rarity said will twinkles in her eyes.

"I just hope he likes apples, I with be obliged to send this new member some." Applejack said while fixing her hat.

"I hope he like animals, that is if he wants one." Fluttershy said quite like but still could be heard.

"I want to know what he looks like, I really want to see this new member face to face." Twilight said with most interest of all.

"Girls please." I said getting their attention. "I know you want to meet him, and offer him things. We must not forget that its a diplomatic unity between our kingdoms, so no interfering do you all understand?"

"We understand princess, we wait till after the meeting." twilight said with sure tone.

"Good his arrival time will come in 8 days from now, so you are welcome to stay in my VIP rooms until the gala, and the meeting is over."

And with that everyone went away to there rooms leaving me alone again with my thoughts. 'This could mean a better pact forged between us, and the zebras is assured once again.' I thought out loud.
