The Crystal Empire. An astonishing place up in Nort-Equestria, where crystal ponies live and give their belief to the crystal heart. The ruler is Queen Flurry Heart, her adopted son, Prince Pinto Cloud is the heir of the royal throne.

The date is not long before this year's Hearts Warming Eve Royal Ball. As a welcomed and so beloved tradition, many treats of far-away Equestrian land are served for the guests – including the juicy, gooey honey straight from Ponyville, a small town close to Canterlot.

Only the deliverer pony is the only update in the well-known system: Honeybuzz, the second mare child of Goldenjar, the owner of Ponyville Honeyfarm. The stallion gave his daughter the task to deliver the ordered quantity for the royal ball – however, a mystery coming to daylight messes up everything planned.

How did the Prince himself and a simple mare cross paths? Why does a long-forgotten royal affair pop up right before such event?
