Within Henry his dreams

Henry was dreaming of Canterlot castle and noticed a little unicorn colt with a blond mane and white coat running around in the castle the little colt quickly disappeared out of existence within the dream. Hmm weird dreams then again it isn't it the weirdest that has happened to me. Henry thought while he wondered why he was dreaming of the castle and a little foal. "Hmm the subconscious is a wonderful thing I suppose." Henry said as he trotted through the dream version of the castle with even more confusing and ludicrous architecture. "This feels like a damn maze. I wonder if a minotaur would like it here" Henry said jokingly as he trotted around and then noticed a mirror. The mirror didn't follow his movements but the reflection within the mirror seems to be whining and angry but strangest of all transparent.

What Henry didn't know was that somepony was looking within his dreams observing him.

Luna was observing Henry within his dreams she had problems reading what she presumed their mind. What is going on with you Blueblood? You act strange your mind and soul are in pieces and unrecognizable. What is on your mind? Luna thought as she was observing the only thing that wasn't a conflicting and garbled mess within her nephews mind.

Henry smiled like a mad pony as he looked at the reflection "Now look here still transparent aren't you. How interesting but something doesn't add up. You act so spiteful and angered but why would you talk to me then giving me advice. Sure it could be some large ploy I know you were a big pain in many ponies their flanks but it just doesn't add up. Your ego is to big for such an approach honestly i find it sad there is no reprisentation of you in here that I could smack and kick you around." Henry said in a intimidating tone as he looked at the transparent reflection within the mirror.
This only made the reflection stomp it's hoof in anger.
Wow he seems really angry but this doesn't make sense if he is just angry but seems contained then why did I hear a little colt's voice when I was awake. I swear I'm going to need a specialist to look into this maybe I can ask some tutors of Auntie Celestia her school of gifted Unicorns. Ugh great now I'm calling her Auntie in my thoughts too. Something is rubbing of on me and I don't like it. I mean the reflection doesn't seem to be able to communicate and he acts like the spoiled corrupt high and mighty Blueblood would in the situation probably attempting to take control and whine. But even he wouldn't stoop so low to sound like a little colt and advise me. His ego is to inflated to seep that low. I am going to need more information to analyze. Before I draw a conclusion. Thought like a true analyst but I don't know the big picture heck I don't even understand what Blueballs did to me. Still adorable that he thinks stomping his hoof in anger is threatening. Henry pondered what this dream meant or what it symbolizes.

Luna observing the dream looked confused at her nephew talking this weird reflection but then thought how her nephews mind was unruly and in pieces. What are you hiding nephew? Luna thought observing Henry his behavior.

Henry sighs and calmly walks in the dream "Luna her understanding of dreams would be useful now. It's not like she'd probably be here considering it's day out. And I'd rather spare her of it all. Man Blueblood was such an plothole." Henry said irritated as he walks to what seems a decrepit dark version of the castle within his dreams with chained up or rusted doors.
First I'm unwillingly changing to pony swears and now this place is less minotaur wet dream and more Halloween haunted house or bad maintained castle you'd expect in a Scooby Doo episode. I swear this is getting annoying. Well at least not as annoying as a certain guard who is asking me things I cant explain because I lack understanding of the situation. Henry thought as he walked deeper into the decrepit dark version of the castle.

Luna was worried at the change of scenery within the dream she tried to use her magic to change it into something pleasant but as she used her magic that would alter a troubled pony their nightmares she noticed it didn't work.
Why isn't it working this spell is meant to manipulate nightmares so I can help the pony with what ails and scares them. Why isn't our nephew scared? Luna thought worryingly since most modern ponies were easily terrified and Blueblood was known to be a coward at times it just didn't make sense for her.

Henry continued walking the floor boards creaking and shadows dancing.
Even this looks cartoon like and technicolor. Well this is just lame I've seen scarier cupcakes fan art then this. Hmm wait aren't timberwolves and manticores cute and cartoony too. Only psychological horror and certain attributes of magic will probably scare me then. Like that prick Sombra his mind control spells. I wonder how far I am in the timeline. Considering Shinning Armor is still captain of the guard I guess very early. I personally hope this is pre galloping Gala but knowing my luck probably not. Henry thought as he wondered deeper and suddenly noticed a transparent little Unicorn colt through a dark dusty rusted door which showed decay on its wooden frame.
"The buck did I just see?" Henry blurted out in confusion and surprise.

Luna previous interest was now replaced with worry not just because of the fearlessness from Henry but from something she felt familiar with the door within the dream and what it might represent.
Our nephew can't be foalish enough to follow that apparition within his dream and open that door. Maybe we will have to shy him away from it. Luna thought as she attempted to find a way to take form within the dream but it was hard in the shattered and divided mind as if some internal conflict only made it harder for her. Luna could only look in worry as Henry opened the door and walked through it. When he did open it Luna realized what this dream represented and what was behind the door only trying harder to intervene.

As Henry opened the door it creaked and felt rusty but as he opened it inside it seemed to be night and there was a stallion sitting there behind the desk doing paperwork wearing beautiful attire comparable to a medieval nobleman and the little unicorn colt no longer seemed transparent.

As Luna observed what was going on her worry faded a little but it was replaced with sadness
Blueblood is going to ask a lot of questions and what am I supposed to tell my sister him asking to many questions will hurt her just when she seemed so happy when they pranked the guards. Luna thought worrying about what she was seeing meant and what questions would arise from it.

The unicorn stallion smiled at the little colt but ignored Henry being there but somehow it pulled at Henry his heart strings seeing the stallion caused tears to fill his eyes.
Why the hell am I feeling this. Bucking hell is going on. Who is that stallion? It isn't Blueblood that's for sure. And who is that little colt" Henry thought completely bewildered.

The stallion picked up the little colt and spoke in a fatherly tone "Bluey, you know not to sneak away from your mother." The little colt smiled at the Stallion "But daddy I want to see what you are doing." The little colt said innocently but the voice was familiar Henry heard it before and this place and seeing the stallion pulled at his heart so much it made him cry.

Wait that voice the little colt voice advising me. But that makes no sense Bluey is what Celestia called me. A suppressed memory perhaps? Poison causing mental regression? Ugh I can't just guess I need to understand whats going on. Henry thought confused as he tried to interact with things in the room but his hooves went through everything he tried to interact with like as if he was a ghost.

"Now now Bluey your mother and auntie will be worried if you keep sneaking off like that." The stallion said as he patted the little colt his head this caused the little colt to pout at the Stallion "But I want to know what you are doing." the little colt said throwing a little cute hissy fit.

Luna was looking at the little colt and stallion and smiled which had a heavy hint of sadness as she looked at the little colt and the stallion.
He was kind and innocent back then according to my sister before the incident. Luna thought while tearing up a little.

"Alright alright, I'll tell you my little angel. I'm working on the plans for integrating Thestrals in our land. Getting our fellow ponies to be calm around them and planning lodgings and jobs for them." The stallion said with a smile only for the little colt to lookup to him and smile "For the bat ponies?" The little colt asked with a gleeful expression "They are nice auntie Tia said they used to follow somepony important to our family." the little colt said proudly of remembering a little bit of his lessons with his aunt.

"Yes, most ponies fear them because they are different but I am happy you don't my little one. And yes they used to follow someone very important." The stallion said with a hint of pride and then opened a window to show a full moon "Do you know about your other auntie the one for who we try to give the nice bat ponies a home?" The stallion asked the little colt.

"Other auntie? Do you mean the mare in the moon?" The colt seemed confused but the stallion just ruffled his mane

"Maybe it's too soon for you to know the full meaning behind the old mares tale they tell but it's for the other auntie we try our best maybe one day you will learn about since I should wait to tell you the full meaning when you get older. Just remember Bluey be kind to everypony and be just a lot of ponies will want to hurt the bat ponies who live in our domain and you wouldn't want to make your friends at home sad. It's always been our families dream and duty to spread the harmony Equestria was build upon with everypony no matter how scary they might seem. Everypony deserves a chance. And we nobles are nothing without the ponies behind us so try and do the best for those under you when you grow up." The stallion said before he and the little colt seemed to disappear.

Luna had tears in her eyes knowing what just transpired in front of her eyes as she attempts to end the dream again as she noticed Henry with tears in his eyes. Please let the spell work this time. Luna thought worryingly

Henry had tears in his eyes and felt a lot of sadness and for some reason but it clicked in his head this wasn't a dream but he was seeing a memory of Blueblood. "Why am I crying?" Henry said in a strained and emotional voice.
This isn't even my memory why does it affect me so much. I want this dream to end. I don't want to feel his familial attachments if it hurt so much. Why do I care? No if he was innocent and sweet like that there has to be a reason he became the dickhead he did I need to find out what it is?Henry thought as his hoof clutched to his chest not noticing that the moon in his dream glowed white and Luna appeared turning changing the dream into a nice grassy field with beautiful flowers and a strong beautiful oak tree.

Luna calmly stepped to Henry worrying for his current condition " Are thee Alright nephew?" Luna asked in a kind voice as if talking to a foal.

Henry snapped his focus on her and shakily said "No. I feel pain and sad emotions over something I never lived through." Henry answered honestly
How long has she been watching couldn't she just end this before I went on the emotional Train. Is she doing this to test me or get back at Blueblood? Henry thought and worried as he looked up showing his current pathetic state. He quickly dried of his tears and pushed his emotions down.

Luna looked concerned at Henry "Thou shouldn't crop up thine emotions nephew. Thou has just gone through a lot whilst thou should have been at peace. Thou shouldn't have seen things even thou locked away within thine mind." Luna said she sat down near him.

Henry just sighed and then looked sternly at Luna "Then why didn't you stop it auntie." Henry said with a hint of venom in his shaking voice "You are the princess of the night and guardian of dreams. And with locked in the mind you mean suppressed memories. Why the hell do I even have those to begin with. They come from either trauma either physical or mental. And whatever happened afterwards seemed to have turned the innocent cute little colt into the textbook definition of a bad noble. Is letting me relive them some sick punishment or something cause all it did is make me very angry. Cause spies I can understand but this is just sick." Henry said not in a venomous tone but a angry one.Henry his angered gaze was fixated on Luna.
I swear the nerve of this mare. Spying not intervening and with whatever happened that turned that innocent colt into a massive dick or at the very least preventing him to cause more harm. I am going to get to the bottom of this if I have to use underhanded and emotional blackmail tactics to do it. I need answers to my condition and why I"m seeing and feeling this shit and how it got this far. Henry thought as he was unable to think clearly out of the anger for ponies not intervening before it got out of hoof and especially at Celestia or what other noble plothole there was under the sun could be blamed got his current situation.

Luna stood up and looked straight at Henry right into his spiteful anger filed eyes "Thou art not in a position to judge me nephew. Thou should also wary of such strong emotions thou seemed to have regain memories of us so thou should not let thine self be blinded with anger." Luna said in her royal Canterlot voice she then noticed Henry his anger cool a little mostly cause he was to focused on holding his sensitive equine ears. "Thou art right that as thine aunt and thine princess of the night I have failed but thine mind and dreams art in turmoil. "
Our nephew really has lost most of his mind if he thinks that I would pervert my duty to torment ponies with such things then I fear what twisted turmoil that poison put him through mentally. Luna thought saddened that somepony could think she could try something so monstrous and barbaric.

Henry breathes in deeply then breathes out and then lays down in the grass bed in the dream "Ok. I'm sorry auntie. Let's just say I feel like a few ponies who should have acted deserve a punishment and those who made the personality I had before should wish they'd be brought to Tartarus as a form of relief." Henry said still angry but he then looked at Luna her shocked expression.
Oh shit! I bucked up. Well here comes the mad pony jacket when I wake up. Henry thought worrying but all he got was a comforting hug.

Luna then looked straight in Henry his eyes "Thou shall not make the same mistakes as thour Aunt does thou hear me Vladimir Blueblood. Thou should focus on thine recovery and undoing thour previous mistakes not letting thouself be blinded by anger and vendetta." Luna said sternly as she looked at him.

Henry seemed shocked at the current reaction of Luna and smiled at her "Auntie Luna those are my plans while at the same time. I will go into detail with Auntie Tia there as well as the two spying guards. But if it's not to much to ask could you help me by maybe finding a way to bring books in my dreams so I can study while my body rests."

Luna smiled at Henry "That depends on thine plan Nephew it thine plan is acceptable We will aid thee on thine academic endeavour. But thour current behavior and outburst of before makes us worry of thour intentions but thine heart seems to be in the right place if thour healing of the chef is anything to show of but thou art weak in magic we wonder how thee did it." Luna asked as she looked at Henry.

Henry just facehooved "Honestly I just thought of the natural healing process when I held the cook his hoof in my telekinetic grasp. Basic things it's healing stages those being hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and remodeling. Well how they normally work in comparison without magic in a lot of detail really. Though it was completely accidental." Henry said annoyed I can't believe I ever would think about this beyond biology class and its not like it's relevant. I just wondered if it the same rules apply. Henry thought and then started to ponder
Maybe I need to research the nature of magic to explain what happened here is to hoping I can fill my dreams with studying books so I can get a better understanding about magic and Equestria.

Luna just looked at Henry with a confused and bewildered look. "Art thou alright nephew the poison must have affected thou worse then thou then the others thought. Thour method was effective though Thou shouldn't let thour mind wonder when thou art grasping something with magic it could have terrible side effects."
What is our nephew talking about. Even his most orderly and hole part of his mind is affected. What is wrong with thou. What has Thou used as a crutch to prevent thee from dying to make thee have such insane thoughts. Luna thought worryingly

Henry looked nervous "Oh sorry I didn't know. But it did work fell a little drained afterwards maybe I should discuss the inspiration of it with Tender Care with supervision of course to see if it can perfect certain forms of healing. Cause it might be profitable which means more bits that I can use to undo my mistakes from the past." Henry said as he kept pondering She looked like I was speaking gibberish to her face. Damn I really need to know how far ponies their understanding of science is and if the same rules apply. Still I wonder why I still have Blueblood his cutie mark not to mention how the hell just thinking of the science behind the healing process when holding somepony in a telekinetic grasp would do anything. Henry thought as the dream seemed to shake.

Luna looked at Henry "it seems thou art waking up nephew. Please keep thour observations to thineself hidden for thine own image even if thour attitude is an improvement. Remember no thinking in thine weird delusions when holding somepony in thine magic it is dangerous especially if thine delusions hold some knowledge within themselves thine approach to speak with them with the Physician is commendable even if thour motivation is questionable nephew. Thou should probably relearn the arts of magic during thine recovery period. I will ask my sister to allow thine guards to escort thee to her school if anypony can teach thou it's the ponies there under supervision until we have decided thee are sound of mind enough to act on your own." Luna said kindly.
Our nephew is still able to see reason within his current state but following on such delusions while holding somepony in magic is dangerous. I will have an unpleasant discussion with my sister but I wonder if his plan and mind is stable enough to handle his duties as he hopes to. We will have to wait and see but our nephew seems to be at least sane enough to see reason. I wish the old rules still applied that I could strip those of power when we find out who brought our nephew to this state. Luna thoughts dreading the conversation with Celestia about the recent developments.

"That's a big if Auntie. No matter how I look at it seems insane but don't I won't publicly discuss it. Since I only spoke so openly about it because I trust Tia and you even though it's probably either going to make you see me as an insane stallion or another more frightening option. My own image comfort and mental or physical health aren't as important as my duties and our responsibilities to the ponies under us."Henry his tone turned very serious before he woke up.

In the Canterlot castle medical wing.

Tender Care was standing over Henry his sleeping form near Spellslinger and Calmly stated "I told you It was supposed to be impossible for him to heal somepony. He has the magical reserves of a foal and I'm against prodding a harmed and confused pony for answers." Tender care said angrily at Spellslinger

Spellslinger sighed "But that's just it. He is thinking strange and acting strange he hasn't called midnight useless bat or ugly leather wing. Not to mention he is being uncommonly caring. And think about what it could do for the medicine if we understood how Blueblood did it. I'm sure if he'd want to help us"Spellslinger replied to Tender Care

Tender Care just sighed "I understand where you are coming from but he is still weak and needs his rest. And without understanding of medicine he could accidentally hurt somepony. It was probably a fluke a accidental stroke of genius within the Prince his confused mind." Tender Care said in a saddened tone not being to hopeful and writing off what happened to Bon Appetite as a lucky accident.

Henry woke up because of the noise but faked being asleep.
Only thing going through my head is that ponies don't seem to know how to let someone rest. Henry thought to himself.

Spellslinger stepped close to Tender Care "You said yourself you found Blueblood his residual magic around the wound in very small amounts that shouldn't have been able to affect somepony their wounds and that it was as if it healed perfectly and without the residual magic remaining you wouldn't have believed the wound was there. That doesn't sound like an accidental fluke but a precise cast spell." Spellslinger said smirking at Tender.

Tender Care sighed "What do you expect of me Spellslinger to risk somepony their health to let Blueblood heal them and explain his way of thinking. Not to mention we don't know if it follows any logic for all we know he is tapping into chaos magic because of his confused mind. It's just too dangerous we'd need a detailed explanation of the logic behind it to understand its basics and how it works since it isn't a chant based spell which has flexible meaning using rhyme it probably most likely was a fluke unless you think Blueblood suddenly has a understanding similar to Starswirll The Bearded."
I want to understand it too if it wasn't a fluke but doesn't she know the risk that comes with an untested and unknown usage of magic.Tender care thought as she looked at Spellsinger in defeat.

Henry sighed and get up. "If it will give me some peace and quiet I can write down the basics behind it but from what Luna said within my dreams it's probably not going to be understood. Of course its conditions will be remains mine and I'll get a form of income if it's used for commercial gain and it will be kept quiet. If it is useful it is mine and I need to set up ways to profit of it so I can ensure one it won't be misused and second condition is that I can control of who learns it. Is that a clear order!"Henry ordered both sounding like a irritated old man.
If it will give me some damn peace and quiet then I'll write basic biology understanding that . But I will put some conditions who knows might get a extra income of bits to use for my own plans. But I better keep my human knowledge under wraps if it can be applied to magic. Just understanding of RNA and DNA or god forbid atoms or of how that heat is simply vibrating excited atoms. It will be usefull if they find out the basic rules are the same but if so I'll need to keep it under wraps to prevent causing to much change until I put systems in place to profit , guide and control it . I need an book to know how far ponies stand scientifically so I don't break to much preexisting notions and so I know how I can use my knowledge to the best of my abilities. Henry thought worrying but his expression didn't show it. His expression was that of a stern and irritated stallion.

Spellslinger frowned at Henry "How can you be so heartless of asking such things. It could help thousands of ponies! I thought you were changing now you are acting like a greedy dragon!" Spellslinger shouted at Henry with a mix of disappointment and anger

"I agree with Spellslinger if it even could be replicated why would you keep it under such conditions how could a healing spell be misused." Tender Care said looking disappointed towards Henru.

Henry crawled out of bed towards the two ponies and sighed "If it can be replicated it means other things within my poisonous fever dream can be replicated and that includes some harmful things plus I'll need to control it not to mention I need to fund other similar research endeavors and find talented ponies to create a company within the same lands I neglected before I lost my memory so I can create a blast furnace of innovation while keeping it out of the hooves of those who made an attempt at my life. You two are kind mares and I understand your disgust for this business approach but it will be needed and only Auntie Tia, Luna and Shinning Armor would be allowed to know that such changes come from me with exception of you two and Midnight. But if it works I'll be blunt to both of you would a caring parent leave their foals with the means to destroy life because my healing logic is based on the Blueprints of creation using the organisms their own healing methods and from what I've seen fasten it but a cruel or idiotic unicorn could tamper with it and cause mutation or death on a scale that is inconceivable that's why i am being not a greedy dragon but an overprotective mother hen. As long as the ponies responsible for the attempt of my life are running free I need to use everything I can to my advantage. Now give me something to write on. Oh and if it works don't control yourself and be sure to interrupt any business I might be attending. " Henry said calmly causing Spellslinger and Tender Care to hang their heads down in shame both noticing the danger Henry is foreseeing even if Henry explained it calmly like a teacher.
These ponies are cute and nice but they don't understand that if it works it will attract to much attention to me. And the threats that come with it if it works. If it does I hope I can warn my aunties about the threats it can pose even if it can aid others. Henry thought as he waited to get ink and quill.

Spellslinger looked at Henry "But the ponies it can help"Spellslinger said before Henry swiftly interrupted her
"If it can be replicated they can get care within the lands I mismanaged or Tender Care her aid. And if we find other reliable ponies we can trust with it we might branch out asking a simple low amount of the profits. which we can then redistribute in other ways be it training ponies we trust or funding businesses or development of other fields to ensure the growth of our income and the public welfare and that is if my aunties will allow it to be used. Since I'd rather stare down a Hydra's maw then disappoint them." Henry retorted this cause Spellslinger to look a bit more happy since she finally understood Henry wasn't completely close to the idea of replicating it just that he was being careful.

Tender Care grabbed a ink and quill and some scrolls and brought it to Henry"Blueblood I understand your approach but if it works as a Doctor I can't just not help ponies what if I am asked about it?" Tender Care asked kindly

Henry smiled as he started to write down his understanding of biology and the phases of healing in great detail. "If the method is approved to be used by my aunties and you are questioned about it simply tell them because of the safety of Equestria and the privacy of the Royalty it can't be shared." Henry said as he calmly finished writing logic behind cell division and DNA for as much as he understood it which wasn't much only the general consensus that DNA can be compared to the blueprints of any organic creature.

"I'll be honest with both of you. I am in no means a medical professional all I wrote down is just the result of me being a rather studious individual with multiple interest within my uncommon mental state. But if this proves to work I do not want either of you to tamper with any of the natural processes that is explained slightly within these scrolls. I'd rather not see you ponies cause harm by altering the genetic code of anything cause if you do you will not only lose my trust and possible future prospects of being a part of my projects. But no matter your position or rank I will end your life. Even if it makes me end up in Tartarus cause the last thing we need is another Grogar like incident of altering of beings and creating monstrosities. " Henry said threateningly as he handed the scrolls back to Tender Care.
I don't want to explain to them I had a personal fascination of multiple sciences. I really hope this can stay under wraps for a while last thing I need is to much attention on me. I will have enough of that when I talk to my aunties. God they will think I am insane. Well at least someone insane enough to see the possible risks a hypothetical spell can do. I mostly hope it stays hypothetical in the episode where Cozy Glow almost destroyed all magic most monsters in Tartarus broke down in their base animals but when created with this hypothetical method I fear that will not be enough. Henry thought as he then looked towards The now frightened Spellslinger and Tender Care.

Tender Care was shaking by Henry his death threat and fear that with enough understanding the logic behind it could be used to make monsters she looked nervous and then shakily spoke. "Do you.. mean that.. killing .. and Grogar part." Tender Care asked nervously.

Spellslinger looked in shock awaiting for the answer to Tender her Question.

Henry sighed and looked down. "I sadly do. I am willing to let you attempt to recreate and study my knowledge but if it is possible to replicate as a Prince I will need to take actions to ensure Equestria isn't altered badly by my knowledge. My duty out ways my personal desires on this point. I can't let a nation build on harmony and love be corrupted like that." Henry said in a somber dark tone before Spellslinger stepped to him and nuzzled him. causing him to look up at her.

Spellslinger smiled "I understand but we won't let it go that far. If Tender can replicate it you will be the first to know Blueblood so don't worry we aren't going to act like dumb foals and tamper with something we don't understand but give us some credit too. You are supposed to be resting not worrying about things like this alright. I know Tender will listen to your warning." Spellslinger said comfortingly as she nuzzled into Henry and hugged him this calmed his worries a lot and caused the tired stallion to calm down.

Tender smiled at Spellslinger for calming Henry before looking at the notes in the scrolls which wasn't what she expected where she thought would possible be the scrabbles of a confused mind stood something that coincided with her medical understanding but more advanced and detailed she looked confused then smiled even if she didn't understand it but she was the logic behind it. "I will but i'll need to study this . It's not what I expected." Tender Care was entirely focused on the scrolls. This doesn't make sense. Did Blueblood make a deal with a Tartarean demon or spirit to gain this knowledge. It's insane. Tender thought as she started reading the scrolls.

Spellslinger looked confused at Tender Care "Why not a healing spell is a healing spell right?" Tender care said as she broke the hug with Henry and trotted towards Tender Care and peaked over her shoulder only for her jaw to drop. "This is wow just... uhm good luck Tender" She said before looking at Henry then back at the scrolls in confusion.

"Now then Spellslinger what is my current duty as a noble do I have any paperwork to manage or can I continue with my rehabilitation?"Henry asked with a big smile the mare was to busy gleaming over the scrolls Tender Care was looking at and again looked at Henry with utter confusion on her face as if she saw a singing fish. Tender Care seemed ecstatic while reading to scrolls and then looked up to Henry with a grin.
Spellslinger on the other hoof was confused by the scrolls and then quickly turned her attention to Henry "Yes you have some duties to attend to just paperwork. though it's good you can still speak and write Equestrean. it will make this much easier for both of us to have some semblance of normalcy." Spellsinger said as she stepped outside of the Medical wing with Henry following close by. Leaving a quite amused and entranced Tender Care behind.

Henry looks at Tender Care before he leaves Is she going to be ok? She isn't going to go full lesson Zero Twilight Sparkle on my ass later I hope. And maybe I should be more careful with what I write down.Henry thought worryingly before Spellslinger kindly booped Henry his snout

"Come on Blueblood your paperwork won't do itself." Spellsinger said as she got Henry his attention.
Hmm I am confused how English and Equestrean are the same flipping language and yay paperwork the bane of an office drone and a noble alike. Henry thought sarcastically before he sighed and followed Spellslinger.

Spellslinger guided Henry towards an office in the Solar wing of the castle. Near the door were two Solar guards.
Henry looked around confused "Uhm where is Midnight? Isn't she supposed to be guarding my royal plot?' Henry said jokingly as he walked inside the office.

Spellslinger giggled slightly as she followed Henry and smiled at Henry "She will be here shortly. She had a little errand to run. Why does you like her company your highness?"Spellslinger said teasingly with a cheeky smile.

Henry just sighed "You both are quiet exquisite mares of comparable Beauty Whilst your soft and kind nature is one of your charms. I find myself equally attracted to the more wild and predatory nature of Midnight but do not expect me to act on those desires for I will not indulge myself in such desires until I have dealt with the more pressing matters."Henry said sounding like a smooth Gentlecolt causing Spellsinger to bush heavily.
These ponies are to damn cute but I'm happy I could string it in those words. I'm a little rusty when it comes to my flirting game. I hope she appreciates the honesty. Henry thought as his cheeks turning from their normal snow white color to a crimson red as he realized he openly said his opinion of them.

Spellslinger stuttered for a while "Do .. you mean that your highness?" She asked nervously looking at Henry.
Henry smiled "I do but alas my fair kind Guardian Angel for I can not court you or thine dark aid for I am plagued by internal conflict about this attraction so it is not yet to be." Henry said in a suave tone as he smiled at her and winked.

Spellslinger just stood there blushing like an idiot giggling like a school girl.

Henry smiled at the cute display "My fair maiden could you give me my paperwork be it private income of myself , Taxation or the land I manage. I myself would also prefer our intresting conversation with a Beautiful mare as yourself but as I stated my fair lady. It is a manner of internal conflict." Henry said calmly trying to regain his composure

Spellslinger nodded as she grabbed multiple scrolls with her magic trying to regain her composure."Your highness how do you know I know where those papers are if I may ask?"Spellslinger asked Henry who now calmly sat his plot behind a desk with quills, ink and scrolls.

Henry just smiled "Aah that is simple when you spy on somepony you go through such information to see what the pony is upto. I'm sorry that I stopped using the more extravagant vocabulary but I need to focus on work. I told you before having two ponies spy on me was going to be a boon. But worry not for I hold no grudge to fair maidens as yourself and your compatriot." Henry replied smiling a cheeky smile as Spellslinger levitated the requested scrolls onto the table trying not to let Henry get the better of her.

Spellslinger just was talking gibberish in the shock of Henry his comment. While Henry was calmly reading the scrolls to overview his finances and duties.

Midnight trotted in and she noticed Spellslinger just standing guard and smiling towards Henry with a hopeful smile.
"Am I seeing this right Blueblood is doing paperwork?" Midnight asked confused.

Henry his gaze fell on Midnight "Yes i am now and I also answered the noisy guard her questions about my attraction to certain mares with rather honeyed words now I really must focus on work. Hmm the housing in my lands is an issue for the Thestrals and there were reports of corruption and crime. If I temporary give up my abode to aid the Thestrals while we fund construction even cutting my own budget down. I could let the servants of my abode take care of the Thestrals during their stay but that still leaves an issue with the Canterlot Orphanage I seem to be responsible for. I could use my abode in Canterlot Temporary abode for them as well but then I'll have to inconvenience my aunties. Not to mention the corruption issue. Any changes would make the ring leaders responsible for the corruption flee. If only I had a map so i could plan accordingly and some troops that would accompany me." Henry said annoyed scratching his head with his hoof.

Midnight looked at Henry in confusion "Why would you need troops or a map?" She asked as she stepped to the desk Henry was working at.

Spellslinger just silently let Henry work as she took a map of the region Blueblood manages and brought it to the desk.

Henry smiled as he noticed the map "Why I need a map my cute little leather wings guard is very simple. If I induce change within my domain those who thrived in the lack of proper management. The thieves and corrupt denizens would take notice. So while the changes are being prepared or enforced we need to strike at the heart of corruption. The missing pony reports make me think slave ring or diamond dog mine. So Midnight you are a Thestral and probably know my lands is there any tunnel or mine system near the county its main town wait does that read Dartmoor. That isn't even a pun as a name Sweet Celestia who named that town." Henry just facehooved.

Midnight looked confused at Henry "It's a normal town name. As for your question there is a cave system nearby but most ponies and Thestrals stay clear of it." Midnight said pointing her hoof at a place on the map causing Henry to encircle the area.

"Good with any luck Equestria it's kind and peaceful nature means that the seeds of corruption don't blossom so well as I hope but right now I'll write an order which will have to be overseen by my aunt's during our meeting with them later." Henry said stiffly as he started writing.

Spellslinger looked confused at Henry as he said that"Blue what do you mean by that?" Spellslinger asked confused.

Henry continued writing but looked up to Spellslinger "Oh did I say that outloud. I am sorry but you don't need to look further then the story of hearts warming eve. Or the pillars of Equestria. But it still shows the most wonderful things in Equestria." Henry said laughing a kind fatherly laugh. Before he finished writing and rolled up a scroll.

Spellslinger smiled "Yes they are beautiful tales but not everything is that nice. The everfree forest near ponyville for example is a rather scary place. The plants grow wild the clouds move on their own and the animals have nopony to take care of themselves and some monsters that live there are dangerous even for some of the guard." Spellslinger said sounding like a teacher explaining something to a student.

Henry just laughed "I'm sorry but then you think I am insane but honestly it doesn't sound that scary to me" Henry said laughing I think ponies would be terrified of earth then oh dear this is just priceless. I wonder what monsters she will mention to attempt to convince me it's dangerous. Henry thought trying to contain his snickering as he attempted to look serious.

Midnight flew up to Henry and pointed at him" You wouldn't say that if you knew what lived there Blueblood. Timberwolves, cockatrices manticores and so much more." Midnight said as she flew right in Henry his face.

Henry smiled "Well I better read up on them later then to try and find their weaknesses and how to deal with them. I mean the best weapon is ones brain. Now I've already finished my duties I've written the scroll for my auntie on how I'll deal with my responsibilities I think I'd love some literature maybe educational so I can study magic either that or something soothing like music or sitting in a garden with a cup of tea since any magical excersises even to simple levitation on which I have been relying heavily combined with the potion I've taken before aides in regaining my strength so using magic while entertaining myself doesn't seem out of the question. I wouldn't want the servants of the castle to get suspicion and rumors to spread about me that could raise suspicion to those who attempted to kill me." Henry said smiling as he got from behind the desk

Author's Note

I know it's a little later then normal work has gotten me preoccupied. I'm sorry if this chapter wasn't my best work but I hope Everypony enjoys it.
