The parrot didn't stop smiling. "So you're saying I lied to your student? How would I benefit from that?"
Celestia let out a sigh. "I know you've been looking for some leverage on me. Why, I can't comprehend."
The parrot bowed. "I have no intent to harm your former student." He lifted his head, a lopsided smile on his face. "You can look through your heart's eyes."
Celestia raised her eyebrow then closed her eyes.
The guards looked at each other. "You better not be lying. The princess-"
Celestia's eyes snapped wide open as she bared her teeth. "YOU LEAD HER THERE? ARE YOU MAD?"
The parrot chuckled. "Care to elaborate?"
Celestia responded with a growl, then leaped from her throne towards the door.
"Your highness!"
The parrot raised his claw, his smile gone. "Let her go. She needs to speak with Twilight about where she can and can't go." He watched Celestia practically burst through the doors. I've done all I can. My life is in your hooves, Princess Twilight.
Celestia made a beeline for the door Twilight went through earlier. How did she get through the door? I'm the only one that should know it's there! Let alone how to open it! Wait. His Stand! He used his Stand to let her through! She skid to a stop next to the open door before shooting down the stairs. I'm throwing him in the dungeons for this!
As she rushed down the hall, she took a few deep breaths. As the door at the end drew closer, she slowed down and forced her face to display a muted expression. I can't let Twilight learn too much. She stepped through the doorway. "You shouldn't be here."
Twilight didn't turn around. "What is this?"
"Nothing you need to be concerned about, Twilight." Celestia approached Twilight. "Come. It's not safe to-"
"I'm not going anywhere!" Twilight leered at Celestia. "Not until I get some answers!"
Celestia opened her mouth, then bit her lip. "In that case, I'll tell you the truth."
"No, you won't! I know when you're going to lie to me, you bitch!" The moment the word left Twilight's mouth, she flinched. Did I just...
Celestia stared at Twilight for a moment before wiping a tear from her eye. "Twilight Sparkle. I don't know why you're being so hostile while I've been nothing but hospitable. Get as much sleep as you need! Spend as much time away from me as you want! But I don't want you, of all creatures, to hate me!"
"Then answer me one question. Is Rainbow Dash going to be targeted by the Stand Hunter?"
Celestia's jaw was shaking. Did she just trap me? If I say yes, she'll lose all trust in me. If I say no, she'll know I can control who the Stand Hunter targets. And she knows some quirk I have whenever I lie, so I can't say I don't know. Celestia looked at the objects in the tube at the other side of the room. Is she acting like this because of those? The arrows?
