Lief princess luna,

i am s'rry yond t hast taken so longeth f'r me to replyeth. Although i has't did study fusty equestrian in 'rd'r to readeth source texts, i has't nev'r conv'rs'd in t. As t is i am s'rry if 't be true mine own grammar 'r spelling is wrong. Although, i supposeth standardiz'd spelling didst not existeth a thousand years ago. I am currently trying to maketh a translation spelleth and i has't did cast an exp'rimental v'rsion on the hist'ry booketh enclos'd. I am hoping yond thee shall beest able to readeth t.

i am sure thy sist'r hast done h'r most wondrous to answ'r thy questions, but i shall doth mine own most wondrous to replyeth to thy inquiries regardless.

to starteth with, equestria is nay longeth'r did rule by an absolute diarchy 'r monarchy. While the gentle houses has't at each moment did hold some sway senseth the nations founding, the chamb'rs the present day art able to retract 'r enact laws by vote f'r the entire nation and not just their domiciles. The coronet may chooseth to not enact the laws those gents passeth, but if 't be true those gents vote again and t passes with larg'r numb'rs the coronet's auth'rity may beest ov'rrul'd. Their is eke anon a house f'r peasants, who is't art vot'd in, as well as a house f'r l'rds who is't retain their seats by birthright. Only in times of chaos and war is the coronet's auth'rity absolute. To und'rstand how this cameth to beest i encourageth thee to readeth chapt'r twelve in the booketh i hath sent thee, starting on page 126. One of the laws hath passed is freedom of speech. Ponies can disagreeth with the coronet, and p'rf'rm plays yond fleer the coronet, but those gents may not sland'r the coronet 'r claimeth things art true at which hour t is a forswear.

speaking of war, famine, and disease i wilt mention yond equestria hast been at peace with its neighb'rs f'r at least three hundr'd years and hast not seen a famine in nearly a hundr'd years. Did increase tradeth abroad as well as bett'r farming methods hast madeth food scarcity a rarity. While t is true yond most ponies nowadays wasteth a lot m're then those gents shouldst while some ponies still wend to sleep chamber fill'd with pangs of hunger, widespread did hang'r hast not been a problem f'r so longeth yond most of the population is not conc'rn'd about t. The chamb'rs at celestia's insistence has't hath passed laws to maketh sure yond the po'rest ponies, especially foals nev'r wend fill'd with pangs of hunger. All fillies and colts art requir'd to receiveth an education, and primary schools art free. Food is given freely to the young in their classrooms. Widows and oth'r po'r souls art given stipends from the gov'rnment to holp buyeth food and coequal to payeth did rend. Most of this is cov'r'd in chapt'r 31.

in desires this finds thee well,
twilght of house sparkle
