Chapter One: The Incident

“Hmmm… Honestly, this isn’t too bad~”

Even though the faint, muffled sounds of orchestral music could be heard through the crystal walls, it wasn’t nearly audible enough to distract the stallion smirking at himself in the mirror. His muzzle was skewed to show his confident smile, even while wearing a thick pair of plastic fangs that protruded down from his upper lip. His white fur may have carried an “innocent” look that accentuated his boyish features, but his black mane with a red strip helped to match his costume surprisingly well. As he looked down at himself, the unicorn huffed in satisfaction from how well the tailored black tuxedo hugged his muscular physique.

“Heh~” As he grinned at himself smugly in the mirror, he shrugged his head before saying, “Honestly, I don’t see why the other Guards were getting so freaked-out about this costume…”

Despite only having lived in the Crystal Empire for a few months, Silver Soldier was fully aware of how controversial it was to dress as King Sombra for the city’s Nightmare Night Gala. But since there were no listed rules prohibiting it, the Private was determined to go with the idea the moment he draped that first layer of red paint over his horn. By the time he was finished with the full ensemble, Silver had to admit that he looked pretty attractive in his black suit with red inseams. Nevertheless, he still let out a cautious sigh before saying to his reflection, “Well… I’m either going to get some action, or I’m going to get my ass kicked…”

Even with his worries about being judged, or even possibly fired for dressing up as the Empire’s former Tyrant, Silver Soldier hoped that his masquerade mask would help provide a little anonymity in case things went south. So after strapping the large ornate mask over his eyes, which were bedazzled in shimmering black and red sequins, the stallion took one last breath before exiting the restroom. The moment he emerged from the brightly-lit bathroom, he had to wince a little from how dark the Crystal Castle ballroom looked underneath its red light filters. Fortunately for the Guard, despite hearing a few shocked gasps from some of the patrons, Silver wasn’t met with any confrontation by the time he returned to the main room of the vibrant party.

The orchestra at the side was playing a dark and melancholy tune to match the holiday’s playfully macabre vibe, while ponies all around danced with one another in beautiful costumes. Most of the Crystal Ponies took full advantage of their luminescent biology, and made sure to wear bright and extravagant outfits that matched their constantly-shimmering coats. Even though most of the attendees made sure to wear colorful, ‘family-friendly’ costumes for the event, Silver was happy to see that a couple of the other ponies were dressed in darker, or even bloody outfits too. But among the various horror movie characters and special-effects displays Silver was able to see, the costume that actually made him gasp was the one who was copying his idea.

Up at the main stage of the ballroom, Prince Consort Shining Armor was smiling wide while holding the microphone in one hand, and his giggling wife in the other. Much to the Empire’s shock, it seemed that Shining and Cadance decided to dress up as former villains as well. Cadance was wearing a glossy latex dress that hugged every curve of her alluring figure, while also sporting various holes in random places to mimic Queen Chrysalis’ chitinesque anatomy. Silver Soldier was shocked to see the Princess dressed up as her former captor (not to mention her husband’s literal rapist), but he couldn’t deny how mesmerizing she looked in the controversial attire. Even though her pink fur contrasted with the dress and matching black wig pretty badly, she still looked like the hottest mare in the room. And standing right beside her, Shining Armor’s costume of King Sombra looked almost identical to Silver Soldier’s, right down to his wig sporting the same colors as the Guard’s natural mane.

“Helllloooooooo, Crystal Empire!!~” Even though Silver was too far away to smell the booze on Shining’s breath, he could certainly hear the tipsy inflection in his Captain’s voice as he shouted into his mic like a rowdy radio DJ. “M-My wife and I just… We wanted to thank you all so much for making this the biggest… most successful Nightmare Night Gala the Crystal Empire has ever seen!!~”

That response elicited a ton of cheerful applause from the crowds, who were clapping and cheering loudly in praise. Even Silver couldn’t help giving a soft clap of his own, mostly due to how much money had already been raised from the charity drive earlier that evening. Even though he didn’t exactly care too much for his Superior (mostly due to how cocky and inattentive he could be when sober), Silver could still respect how well Shining and Cadance organized this massive Gala for the holiday. Not to mention, it was hard for Silver to keep from smiling when he saw how blushed and bubbly Cadance was smiling while on stage.

“A-And alsoooooo…” The moment Cadance leaned in towards Shining’s mic to add her input, her cheerfully slurred voice caused a few of the Crystal Ponies to stifle some amused giggles. “I just wanted to say how… h-how beautiful everything has been tonight! Fro… From the costumes, to the decorations, to uhhhh… t-to all those beanie weenies they have at the refreshment table--”

“Alright, alright,” said Shining in interruption as he tried to pull the microphone away from his wife. Even though half the crowd was giggling from Cadance’s drunken rant, Shining tried his hardest not to chuckle while saying, “Let’s just get this party back on tra--”

“Oh, Shiniiiiiinnnngggg~” When the Prince looked back at his spouse, he gasped when he saw Cadance playfully holding up a tiny vegan sausage by its toothpick between her fingers. She dangled it teasingly in front of her husband’s face and said with a whisper, “Looks kinda familiar, don’t it?~”

“OH-KAY!!” Shining was quick to light up his horn so the mic could be floated away, even though it did nothing to stop the uproar of laughter from the attendees who heard Cadance’s quip. The Prince’s flustered expression was accompanied with an especially heavy blush as he pushed Cadance towards the backstage area. “I think somepony had one too many appletinis at the bar~”

“Oh, don’t act like you didn’t like them too!” griped the Princess as she stormed off the stage with a pout. “T-Those cocktails are so good~”

By the time Cadance was removed from the stage, and the orchestra resumed their music to reignite the festivities, Silver Soldier was still hunched over and cracking up from that beanie weenie remark. Even though the rumor of his Captain’s endowment was a frequent joke among a lot of the Crystal Guards, hearing it being basically confirmed by his own wife was nothing short of cathartic. Nevertheless, the hilariocity of that moment was quickly thwarted by the time Silver was able to stop laughing, and he took notice of the Princess’ absence on stage. Instead, all that he would see was Shining by himself in his stupidly similar costume, and starting some friendly conversation with Princesses Celestia and Luna.

Silver eventually glanced over towards the side of the stage area, mostly to see if Cadance was anywhere to be found. Considering how drunk she was looking, it was honestly a little irresponsible for Shining to leave her all alone. After looking around the ballroom, unable to spot any pink Alicorns in black dresses anywhere he may have overlooked, Silver grew a more concerned look before walking towards the stage. As he went in along one of the sides, he couldn’t help but notice how close Luna was standing beside Shining; the two could be heard chuckling with matching grins, but Silver wasn’t too focused on what was being said between them.

Instead, the Sombra-clad Guard eventually found himself in the backstage area. The sounds from the Gala were slightly muffled from the thick curtains that separated the stage from the venue; of course, those curtains also made everything tremendously darker, despite the bright spotlights that were trying to illuminate the area as best as they could. Even though Silver Soldier wasn’t wearing his VIP lanyard to indicate he was a Guard, none of the castle staff or attendees tried to get too close to him due to how similarly he looked to Prince Shining. It didn’t take long for Silver to realize why none of the Guards were trying to hassle him, and he smirked under his mask while muttering to himself, “Heh~ I guess having the same costume as Shining isn’t a complete waste...”

Silver didn’t want to judge his fellow Guards, but he couldn’t help but ponder how easily they could all be fooled by his costume when the real Shining was just on the other side of those curtains. But regardless, the Guard was confident enough to head straight to the refreshment table backstage, and helped himself to a tall glass of champagne. He still tried to look around for any trace of Cadance, but he remained standing beside the table while sipping on his glass. Meanwhile, just beneath that large black cloth covering the table, a slender pink hand slowly slipped out to reach for Silver’s ankle.

“Hmmm… Honestly, this is a pretty good champ--GNNNGHHH!!”

Before he could yelp in surprise or call out for help, Silver Soldier found his weight being thrown out from beneath him with a hard grasp of Cadance’s hand. Despite her unassuming appearance, the Princess proved to be surprisingly strong when she pulled Silver to the ground with very little effort. An aura of her blue magic caught his champagne glass before it could hit the floor, and even had it hovering so the remaining booze wouldn’t spill. That aura then took hold of both of Silver’s legs, and caused him to let out a brief “EEP!” before being pulled under the table.

“W-What the!?” Silver instantly panicked the moment he found himself within the enclosed space, not knowing who was the culprit for his unexpected capture. For a moment, the Guard was worried that this was some kidnapping attempt against the real Prince, and that he was hopelessly caught in some horrible misunderstanding. But before he could light up his horn to gain a defense, his eyes widened when he saw Cadance’s horn light up first. The Princess was perched in her little abode with a wide grin, and Silver’s champagne glass firmly in her magical grip. Silver Soldier blinked a couple times, and eventually smiled in relief before asking, “C-Cadance? Jeeze, you kinda freaked me out for a second there.”

“Hehehehe~” Since the Alicorn was still rather blitzed, she couldn’t help giggling with her free hand over her blushing face. “Sorry about that, honey,” she said with a shrug, causing Silver’s brows to rise up in realization. “I just… I found this cozy little place under the table, and I thought it’d be nice, you know?~”

As if her slurred voice wasn’t obvious enough, her use of the term ‘Honey’ made it clear to Silver that there was a big misunderstanding taking place. His eyes widened behind his mask, and he tried to put his hands out in an attempt to clarify things. “Oh! Uhhh, P-Princess, I wasn’t trying to--”

“Ssssshhhhhhh~” Cadance reached forward to press her finger up to Silver’s lips, and silenced him briefly enough while shooting a warm smile. “It’s alright, Shining. I… I know you’re mad about that whole ‘beanie weenie’ thing. A-And I… I was hoping I could help apologize for that…”

Her smirk turned much more suggestive after that second part, which prompted Silver to try and reel back from her. But much like that ankle grab earlier, Cadance was quick to take hold of the stallion’s thighs with both hands, and pulled him in while lunging herself forward. Silver gasped with a profusely deep blush as he felt the Princess’ muzzle nestling up against his crotch. Even though he knew how utterly screwed he’d be if he was caught (or worse, if Cadance realized she wasn’t rubbing her face up against her husband’s junk), Silver shuddered with a reluctant moan as he felt his cock instantly unsheathing beneath his trousers.

“Mmmmmmm…” Cadance had her eyes blissfully closed while humming contentedly, which left Silver’s mortified expression unseen by anypony in that moment. He had no idea how long this was going to last before the jig was up, and his hooves tried to squirm out from beneath Cadance so he could pull away from her. But alas, the Princess’ horn lit up after putting down Silver’s champagne, with her aura getting an especially firm grip against the stallion’s rump to keep him in place. Silver’s head reeled back with his whole body shivering, and his pants growing a notable tent while Cadance kept rubbing her muzzle against it.

“Ooooh~” Cadance finally looked up at Silver with a lustful grin, not able to see any looks of objection while the stallion’s face was pulled out of her line of sight. “Looks like somepony is eager to prove himself for a change~”

Even though a conflicted groan tried to stem through his gritted teeth, Silver’s eyes reopened upon hearing that last statement. He looked back down at Cadance, who went back to playing with that throbbing tent that was struggling to break through Silver’s fly. Given that joke she made about Shining’s junk earlier, Silver was honestly a little surprised that she wasn’t confused about any size differences between this Guard and her own husband. In fact, it didn’t look like the drunken mare noticed anything was amiss, even when she opened her muzzle to teasingly suckle the tip of Silver’s head through the fabric. “Nnnnnnnnn…”

“OoooOOOOOooohhhhhh~” Silver Soldier clenched his eyes shut, struggling not to wince from how close he got to shooting his load right then and there. His cock instantly grew as hard as a diamond, and caused him to grimace painfully from the tight confines of his tuxedo. Meanwhile, Cadance had her eyes closed as well, and could only assume that those noises were from her husband’s arousal. Because of that, she continued to hum to herself while pursing her lips tightly around that clothed cockhead, with the warmth of her muzzle causing him to throb hard inside of her mouth. “Nnnnnghhhh… H-Holy fuck…”

Silver tried to bite his fist after that involuntary blurb, not wanting to be outed due to his voice or expletive. Luckily, the only response he got from Cadance was a bubbly giggle between the alluring suckles against his tent. Even though her saliva was likely dampening the black fabric of Silver’s trousers quite a bit, the Guard was sure that his own precum would’ve left the crotch equally as stained by the end. And even by the time Cadance left the tip of Silver’s tent completely soaked, Cadance was still smirking as she stared down at that plump, pulsating head that was pressed up so tightly against the fabric. “My goodness,” she said before grinning up at her “husband” with narrowing eyes. “You want me to help out with that? I don’t want you going back out to that party with your dick standing out~”

As the Princess giggled to her cheeky statement, Silver blushed with an enamored shudder from hearing her speaking so lewdly. Even though the two were in a “Private” setting, the Guard had never seen such a side of Princess Cadance before. He wasn’t sure if it was due to the confidence he previously carried in his costume, or because he was too worried to see what would happen if he tried to clear things up with her. But after taking a split-second to process Cadance’s question, Silver’s mind was left a total blank as he felt his head nodding in response.

“That’s what I thought~” Cadance quickly took hold of Silver’s zipper, and undid his fly so that his cock could spring out like a Jack-In-A-Box. Despite how worried he was about being found out, it seemed that the dark confines underneath the table (as well as Cadance’s inebriated state) were just enough to keep the Princess from growing suspicious. Even when she wrapped her slender fingers around the girth of Silver’s cock, and began to stroke it at a teasingly slow pace, her eyes were focused up at the stallion’s face while he was left moaning weakly in her grasp. “Mmmmm… Yeah, you like that, big guy?~” she asked coyly before licking her lips. “I gotta say, I’m glad you’re able to accept this while I’m in this costume. I was a little worried you’d freak out.”

“Nnnnghhhhhh…” Silver had his eyes closed while his head was pulled back, with the sounds of Cadance’s words registering at the bare minimum in his mind. Fortunately, despite how overwhelmed he was getting from getting a handjob from the Princess of Love, the hard pulsations of his cock weren’t enough to keep him from registering her words. “It… I-It’s alright,” he said while letting out a strong shudder. “Nnfff!~ I, uhhh… I-I can mostly see your… your face more than anything else down here…”

That answer prompted Cadance to pause her strokes for a split-second, and sighed with a touched smile back at Silver. “Awww, thanks~” she said sweetly enough, before she took a moment to giggle with a blush. “Heh~ Could you imagine what ponies might say if we were caught like this?~”

As the Alicorn giggled to herself, Silver’s eyes were as wide as saucers while forcing out a chuckle of his own. Even though he could certainly understand Cadance’s perspective about being caught -- particularly while both of them were dressed up as former villains who attacked the Royals multiple times before -- Silver’s response was nothing short of sincere for much different reasons. “Uhhh… Y-Yeah, I… I’d rather not get caught with you like this right now. Heh heh heh...”

“Well, don’t worry.” Cadance leaned up from Silver’s rigid cock, and placed a free hand on his shoulder while leaning towards his muzzle. “Flurry Heart is already in bed with a sitter nearby, so all we have to worry about is ourselves…”

With that, Cadance planted her lips against the pair of who she thought was her husband Shining. Silver Soldier’s eyes remained as wide as ever, but they were thankfully unseen while covered by his ornate mask. Because of that, the Guard was able to process her embrace for a second or two, and eventually closed his eyes to properly kiss her back. Even though he was fully aware of how fucked he could be if things went south, it was hard for Silver to really contemplate his actions while sharing such an intimate embrace with one of the most beautiful mares in the Crystal Empire.

“Mmmmm…” After what felt like an eternity of bliss, Silver was deeply blushed by the time he felt Cadance pulling her lips away from his own. He shivered while staring back at the Princess with a half-lidded expression, looking like he fell in love with her on the spot. But for the Alicorn smiling back at him, all that she saw was a dopey look plastered across her “husband’s” face. She couldn’t help huffing to herself while smirking in satisfaction. “Oh yeah, I still got it~”

Her hand went back to stroking Silver’s cock, which elicited some titillated shuddering from the stallion the moment she resumed her motions. Her fingers glided effortlessly up and down the length of that thick cock, with each hard pulsation causing a large bulb of precum to seep from the tip. The Princess groaned out with a bitten lip while grinning in approval, even when those globs of milky-white pre trickled down his shaft to run through her fingers all messily. “Oh my…”

Cadance chuckled amusedly up at her stallion with a coy smirk, and said with a shrug, “You know… I wouldn’t mind us doing a little something if it means not staining my dress~”

Silver clenched his eyes shut, and moaned out weakly to keep himself from cumming in her hand. He may have had no idea how easily he could achieve such a task as laying with the married Princess, but his cock was practically twitching in Cadance’s grip in undying approval. But even with how eagerly his heart was racing in his chest, the stallion let out the briefest calming breath before asking, “Do… D-Do you have any requests, your Highness?~”

Silver tried to smile dorkishly beneath his mask, secretly hoping he didn’t say anything too unlike Shining to warrant suspicion. Fortunately, the Princess’ tipsy state helped to smooth over any awkwardness, and she was quick to smirk back at him before reaching a free hand beneath her dress. “Well… Considering how long it’s been since the two of us… You know~”

Silver Soldier may have had no idea what she was specifically referring to, but her inflected voice prompted him to nod silently with an elated shiver. The Princess smirked back at him more devilishly, just before she readjusted herself and slid her panties down the length of her legs. As soon as that petite pink garment was wrapped around her ankles, Cadance crawled on top of Silver while he was sprawled on the floor. And as she hovered herself over the stallion’s exposed cock, she leaned in close to Silver’s ear and whispered lustfully, “How about we forego the condom for this one?~”

Once again, Silver Soldier grimaced with a shivering moan while his cock throbbed especially hard beneath the waiting Princess. He knew that this was a limit he shouldn’t even be contemplating, let alone allowing it to happen while the Princess of Love was straddling him. But the moment he tried to open his muzzle, all that Silver heard was his quivering voice saying in response, “Well… I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to that~”

Even with the limited light they had from the Princess’ horn, Silver Soldier was able to see how wide Cadance’s grin got after she pulled away from his ear. He took a breath in anticipation, expecting for the Alicorn to immediately lower herself onto him while they were underneath the refreshment table. However, he saw as Cadance’s eyes veered elsewhere for a moment, before she asked, “Hey, c-could you take me back to the bedroom? I’d rather do this up there while I’m still able to walk~”

Silver nodded while blushing deeply, unsure of how well this facade could hold up if they got out of the darkness. His costume might be a dead-ringer to Shining’s, but he had no idea how drunk Cadance would have to be to still believe it was him. But before either of them could try to sneak out from under the table, the two heard a couple of hoofsteps coming up to get some refreshments. And much to Silver’s horror, he was able to peer just beneath the tablecloth to recognize the fetlocks of his Superior less than a foot away from them.

“Mmmmm… My goodness you’re antsy~” said Shining with a slightly slurred voice of his own, which caused Silver to cringe while glancing back at the Prince’s wife. Luckily, the Princess only had a brow raised in intrigue as she began to listen in on the “random stallion”, as well as the mare he was talking to. “Nnfff~ Y-You really want to grope that while your sister is so close by? What if she sees us?”

“Oh, don’t worry about Celly,” remarked Luna, whose voice sounded just as sultry as the Captain’s. Silver leaned down a little to peek past the tablecloth, and saw how closely Luna’s hooves were inching up against Shining’s. “Besides, do you really think you’re one to complain while getting so hard?~”

Silver Soldier’s eyes grew as wide as frisbees, and his jaw dropped upon overhearing such a shocking exchange. Part of him expected for Cadance to throw the table up in an instant, and likely murder both of the Royals for their adulterous revelation. But when the Guard took a cautious glance back at her, all that he saw was Cadance trying not to snicker with her hands over her mouth. “Ohmigosh,” she whispered giddily back at Silver, “I can’t believe Luna is getting herself laid~”

Silver tilted his head with a look of pure confusion and surprise on his face; even though he was grateful that Cadance didn’t realize that her real husband was outside the table getting handsy with her Aunt, he was still stunned that she was acting this dense about what was going on. All he could do was blink a couple times in puzzlement, and eventually closed his muzzle to keep from clarifying anything. Because of that, he could only watch as Cadance leaned in closer to the tablecloth, giggling to herself like a schoolfilly learning of a big rumor.

“So… You want me to escort you back up to the quarters?~” asked Shining with a cocky-sounding tone. “It seems only appropriate to give a Princess her fair dues~”

“Well, one of them, at least~” That retort caused Luna and Shining to chuckle at the same time, as well as for Silver to leer his head back in shock. But since he was staying silent, he couldn’t stop Luna from adding, “But honestly, I’d rather go down to the wine cellar. You said yourself that the place was locked-up, so nopony would come down to investigate, right?~”

“Heh~” Silver could see Shining’s hooves step back from the tablecloth, before hearing him say, “Lead the way, your Highness~”

With that, the two pairs of hooves trotted away from the table, leaving the two ponies beneath it with very different expressions. Silver looked downright shocked upon realizing he wasn’t the only one committing adultery, but he was also deeply relieved given his own predicament. Meanwhile, Cadance just glanced back at him with a cheerful smile and said, “Dawww~ Honestly, I’m really glad that Auntie Luna is finally getting back out there. She really needed a stallion of her own, you know?”

Despite how egregiously incorrect that last part of Cadance’s statement really was, Silver couldn’t help but nod while smiling nervously. “Uhhhh… Y-Yeah, I… I’m really glad to learn that too…”

Even though he technically was happy to discover his Superior’s infidelity, it was mostly because of how easily he could use such a detail to his advantage. But with the lustful Princess still hanging over him while his cock was sticking out, it wasn’t exactly easy for Silver to think of anything aside from continuing their fun. But just as he was about to lean in to steal another kiss from Cadance, he saw her horn brightening up immensely before she said, “You know what, I… I know I shouldn’t teleport when drunk, but… oh, screw it!”

ZAP!!!

Silver gasped for a second, but wasn’t able to stop the Alicorn before she conjured up a quick teleport spell she learned from her sister-in-law. In an instant, the stallion felt himself floating for a split-second while encased in pitch-darkness. But as soon as he felt himself “falling”, he landed right in the middle of the plush, King-sized bed that Cadance and Shining shared. Even though he was extremely grateful that neither of them were harmed from that dangerous use of such a spell, he was fairly panicked by the time he felt Cadance nuzzling up beside him. It was hard to see anything in the lavish bedroom while the lights were turned-off, but that proved to only help his own appearance while seated with his cock still-rock hard.

“See, hun?” Cadance was smirking rather pridefully as she mounted herself on top of Silver’s waist, and looked down at him in her reverse-cowgirl stance. “I might be drunk, but I know how to make some magic~”

With that, Silver Soldier gasped as his body tensed up greatly, and he felt that sudden bout of warmth caressing his cockhead. Meanwhile, Cadance had her head reeled-back with a sharp hiss as she began to lower herself on top of the Guard’s scepter. Even though she was keeping her Chrysalis costume on, just like Silver remained in his Sombra suit, her lack of panties helped for her to effortlessly slide herself down so she could rest on top of his waist. “Nnnnnghhhh… Ooh, now this is some proper magic~”

The Princess’ tight, sopping-wet pussy wrapped around the girth of Silver’s cock like a vice, and caused him to moan out deeply from the tantalizing pressure. Her soft, supple folds caressed every inch of his length as she slid Silver deeper inside of her, causing her to bite her bottom lip with an antsy groan. Silver couldn’t even keep his eyes open while shuddering in unbridled delight, absolutely loving the sensation of the Princess’ pussy with every inch she was able to take. He wasn’t going to dare say a thing about it, but Silver took a mental note to throw out his inaccurately-labeled “realistic” Cadance fleshlight back at the barracks.

“NnnnnNNNnnnnghhhh~” Silver shivered tremendously hard by the time he felt those warm lips of Cadance’s pussy wrapping around the base of his cock, while the rest was deeply embedded inside of her. He could feel himself throbbing uncontrollably, even though she hadn’t even begun to move back up yet. Fortunately, Silver was able to control his breathing enough to keep from prematurely cumming in Cadance. Of course, considering how he was already in her without any protection, the Guard could only hope that things could work out by the time he reached his eventual climax.

“Oh, w-wow!” exclaimed Cadance with an amused smirk down at the soldier, giggling drunkenly at how badly Silver was spasming beneath her. “Jeez, has it really been that long? And here I was thinking that you needed some space after your stressful shifts~”

Even though he was still groaning in primal lust while buried balls-deep in the Princess, his brows rose up with a brief look of realization. He may have had no idea what the private details of Shining and Cadance’s relationship included (at least not yet), but her remark gave a much more somber outlook on their marriage when combined with Shining’s cheating. Considering how the two were running the Crystal Empire as Rulers, it was rather shocking for Silver Soldier to think that his Captain would try something as stupid as adultery. The Guard knew he wasn’t one to talk in his current state, but his feelings about Shining prompted him to shrug back up at Cadance with a weak grin. “W-Well, I mean… Maybe this can change things a bit between us~”

Under the illumination of Cadance’s horn, Silver was able to see the thankful smile she was carrying after he said that. Her hands went down to gently rub her stomach, causing Silver’s eyes to shoot very wide-open. “I really hope so too,” she noted sweetly enough. “I know it’s been kinda crazy with Flurry Heart and all, but… I have a really good feeling about this~”

Silver Soldier may have been alright with fucking the Princess unprotected, but discovering her true intents caused him to gasp in a panic when she gave that first motion of her hips. She groaned through her teeth while sliding herself up the soldier’s cock, causing him to cover his face with a shaky moan from how tantalizing her folds felt across his rigid shaft. She shivered in delight from feeling how hard he was throbbing between her lips, and she clenched herself harder around his girth to ensure their breeding would be successful. From the way Silver’s muzzle was contorting, it seemed that he was looking very conflicted from what was about to occur. But just as he was about to open his mouth, Cadance once again silenced him with a finger against his lips. “Ssssshhhhh… Just relax, Shining,” she said assuredly while smirking in pure lust. “Just lay back like a good stallion, and let Mama Cadance take care of everything~”

Silver wasn’t sure what prompted him to actually stay silent, but that statement was all he really needed before leaning his head back against the pillow. Meanwhile, Cadance closed her eyes while savoring the hard, titillating pulsations of his cockhead while it was firmly nestled between her lips. Her pussy was dripping in arousal, which caused some of her juices to slowly trickle down the length of Silver’s shaft while it was exposed. But as soon as she took a deep breath, Cadance belted out a hefty moan the moment she slid back down to get balls-deep again. “AAAHHH!!~”

“AAAAHHHH!!~” Silver moaned out just as intensely as she did, his legs writhing hard from how exhilarating that first thrust felt. He wasn’t sure how many more of those motions he could take before shooting his load, but he had to bite his tongue tightly in a meager attempt to keep their fun going as long as he could. But alas, as soon as the Princess reeled herself back up his cock for another repetition, Silver had to clasp the satin sheets with both hands as he groaned through gritted teeth. “NNNNGHHHH!! Oh god, I’m close, I’m so close…”

Cadance’s eyes widened when she heard that involuntary blurb from Silver. But instead of looking disappointed, the Princess’ face lit up more excitedly than before. “Ohmigosh, really!? That’s great! Don’t worry, I want it too, so just let it happen~”

Silver’s eyes clenched even more as he winced with another moan, not expecting to hear a statement that hot from the Princess straddling him. But even with her assurances, his teeth remained tightly clenched while struggling to keep this moment going just a little longer. Unfortunately, Cadance clearly wasn’t having any of that, and immediately lurched back down to get balls-deep again. “NNGHHH!!”

She went back up, even with how badly Silver’s cock was trying to twitch within the tight confines of her folds. “Mmmmmm… C-C’mon, Shiny boy~” Cadance tried to sweeten the deal by leaning herself back, and undoing the back of her dress so she could pull down the front from her chest. Her plump, voluptuous breasts were quickly exposed for Silver to see, which made him belt out an even louder moan. She smirked devilishly while narrowing her eyes on him, and used her fingers to pinch her perky nipples enticingly. “Yeah, you want these, big boy? Then you better give me another foal~”

She slid back down Silver’s cock again, and caused his entire body to tense up with a strong shudder. “GNNNGHHH!! H-Holy FUCK!!”

“Holy fuck indeed, Shiny~” Cadance giggled from her own use of the expletive, but it didn’t stop her as she repeated her motions faster than before. She went back up his length, and continued to rub her tits with both hands for Silver to gawk at lustfully. “Yeaaaahhhh… You wanna shoot inside of me, don’t you? You wanna feel me without a condom again?~”

Silver couldn’t have shouted out any quicker, “NFF!! Oh, GODDESS YES!!”

She slid back down once more, eliciting another hearty moan from the stallion. “Then you better make it happen~”

Instead of sliding back up his cock, Cadance teasingly wriggled her hips on top of him so her pussy could rub up hard against his length. And while Silver was left reeling in indescribable pleasure, with his balls feeling like they were going to burst beneath his throbbing cock, his eyes were closed when he heard her whisper into his ear, “I’m ordering you as Princess to shoot your load. Right. Now~”

Of all the orders Silver Soldier had to abide by as a member of the Royal Guard, that one was hands-down the easiest request he was willing to oblige. “AaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHhhhhhhh!!!~”

With his hips squirming beneath Cadance, and his balls riding up as tightly as they could against his body, Silver Soldier was utterly helpless as he unloaded inside of the married mare. His cock pulsated inside of Cadance’s deepest depths, shooting rope after rope of his thick, creamy load straight into her unprotected womb. Cadance reeled back with a hefty moan of her own, and clenched hard around his length as it continued to throb uncontrollably. She couldn’t hold back her arousal as she felt those heavy bouts of warmth shooting inside of her, and her pussy practically gushed like a geyser as she came right alongside the Guard. Silver wasn’t able to appreciate the sight of her pussy juices soaking his waist and the trousers of his suit, but he was still caught in nirvanic bliss while savoring every nerve-wrecking throb that sent his nerves tingling intensely.

He almost felt like he was being electrocuted, with every cumshot inside of Cadance titillating his body in ways he never felt before. Even when he first began masturbating as a young colt, Silver had never experienced an orgasm as intense as that in his life. His cock wouldn’t stop throbbing inside of the mare’s gushing pussy, even after he unloaded every drop of his cum inside of her womb to fully satisfy her. And even when she finally finished, and she was able to slide off of his cock with a tantalized shiver, Silver Soldier was near-catatonic as he laid in the bed with his body sprawled-out in post-orgasmic bliss. “Aaaaaaahhhhhhh…”

Once again, Cadance smirked in satisfaction before resting in the bed alongside her “husband”. Despite how overwhelmed Silver Soldier may have felt from such an intense climax, it seemed that the Princess’ drunken state was more than enough to make her pass out first. Silver was just about to fall asleep, before he overheard the surprisingly loud snores blaring out from Cadance’s snout. After blinking a couple times, Silver sighed in sweet relief the moment he realized he not only bedded with Princess Cadance, but also got away with it.

When he went to pull himself out of the bed, his original plan was to high-tail it out of the bedroom and act like nothing ever happened. However, just as he was about to reach the doorknob, Silver froze upon realizing how difficult it would be to cover his tracks. Even if Cadance wasn’t going to question the patronage of any possible foals, he was sure that Shining would if he came back and found his wife’s creampied pussy on full display. And as he looked back at the bed, the moonlight peering in through the window gave a perfect view of the drunken Princess passed-out in her dress, and leaking out a massive puddle of cum from between her spread legs.

Silver wasn’t sure what to do, and paused for a moment to contemplate his options. His eyes veered around the rest of the spacious living space, which was originally Sombra’s quarters before the castle was reclaimed by Cadance and Shining. He eventually glanced over at the large dresser beside the bed, which had several framed photographs and items sitting on top as decoration. His brows then rose up when one particular item caught his interest:

A large, vintage Polaroid camera, which happened to have a box of spare flashes and film right beside it.

His eyes then veered back at Cadance’s creampie, with his cheeks blushing heavily with lewder thoughts seeping into his head. Even though he knew how morally wrong it would be to go through with such a plan -- especially if he intended to use it to his full advantage -- his recollection of Shining’s relationship with Luna helped to ease his conscience the tiniest bit. After all, if Shining was able to get his fill with another mare, why shouldn’t his spouse experience the same with a stallion like himself?

Eventually, the stallion pulled away from the door, and went towards the dresser while Cadance was still unconscious. And even when bright flashes of light illuminated the room, with each one accompanied by the whirring gears of that camera, Cadance’s slumber didn’t look the slightest bit disturbed on the bed. Meanwhile, Silver Soldier was blushing hard while getting as many pictures of the Princess as he could, and muttered to himself, “Goddess, I really hope this doesn’t bite me in the ass later…”

Chapter Two: Her Husband's Nightmare Night

Deep below the ground floor of the Crystal Castle, the palace’s architecture carried a stark contrast to the crystallized marvels that shimmered wonderfully outside. The Crystal Empire was stunningly beautiful overall, with its countless technicolor buildings and homes that stood out like the purest diamonds against the Frozen North; however, the city’s morbid past showed its hidden colors the moment anypony tried to venture down below. Even though the Crystal Castle had come a long way in renovations since King Sombra’s defeat, there was nothing that Shining or Cadance could do in regards to the palace’s foundation. Instead of stunning crystals or gemstone arrangements, the only materials that built its underground floors were cold and unrelenting stone.

The sounds of hoofsteps echoed loudly against the brick and mortar walls, while the limited candlelight up above gave the basement a much eerier feel than expected. It may have been Nightmare Night, but it was obvious that the leftover chains embedded to the walls weren’t some cheap decoration. Despite the fact that Sombra’s dungeons haven’t been used for over a Millennium, Shining Armor tried not to look too uncomfortable while walking past the macabre reminders of his city’s past. Of course, considering how the Prince was still in his controversial King Sombra costume, walking through such a morbid section of the castle was nothing short of awkward.

Shining had planned to keep the mood light while leading his friend downstairs, but his muzzle was tightly skewed in discomfort while walking past the storage rooms that were Sombra’s former dungeons. Princess Luna, who was following the Prince in her tight-fitting dress, had to keep her eyes averted from the ancient architecture due to her own past history. Even though the Princess hadn’t done anything too disastrous during her time as Nightmare Moon (mostly due to the efforts from her sister and the Elements of Harmony), she tried her hardest to ignore the various “What-Ifs” that plagued her conscience. Fortunately, the Alicorn’s focus was promptly distracted when she heard Shining Armor’s apologetic tone of voice:

“Uhhh… Sorry for not warning you about the dungeon stuff…” Shining had to look away from the mare while scratching the back of his black wig. “We tried to make this more of a ‘storage room’ to cover up all the chains and stuff, but uhhh… Yeah…”

Luckily for Shining, Luna was quick to sigh with a more sympathetic smile. “You don’t need to apologize for his actions, Prince Shining,” she assured him with pure sincerity. “Considering how well you and Cadance have revitalized the Crystal Empire over the years, it would be callous of me to hold that kind of judgement. Even if your costume choice is a little on the nose.”

“Hmph~” Shining was able to smirk a little after that brief huff, and he glanced back at her to say, “In my defense, I talked with several of the Crystal Guards and castle staff before going through with this outfit. Cadance did the same thing by asking King Thorax about her costume.”

“I was just about to say,” noted Luna with a more natural smile, “that dress really is stunning on her. I’m not surprised that even you would approve of it.”

Shining just shrugged with a cheeky smirk before replying, “Hey, what can I say? Any dress that shows off a good figure is good enough for me.”

Luna chuckled back at the Prince Consort, and walked up closer beside him while sporting a sensual smile of her own. “Well, your interests don’t surprise me one bit, Shining Armor~”

Nopony else was downstairs with them, as the muffled music and banter from upstairs could still be heard against the ceiling. Because of that, Luna didn’t show much hesitation when she leaned in close to the married stallion, and planted a light kiss on Shining’s cheek. As the two Royals continued to walk past the tightly-packed “storage space,” their playful banter helped them to reach the wine cellar without much discomfort. There were several metal bars that separated the former dungeon from the wine cellar, but it was obvious from the shiny metal that these weren’t remnants from Sombra’s rule. In fact, the gated door had what looked to be a high-quality combination lock installed, which Shining quickly worked on with ease.

“Wow…” Luna leaned past Shining to glance through the bars, marveling at the massive walls of wine shelves that covered the spacious stone room. “I knew that the Crystal Empire had a valuable wine collection, but I wouldn’t have thought you would be this protective over it.”

Shining shrugged his shoulders while continuing to turn the knob of the lock back and forth. “Have you seen the damage Yakyakistan’s dignitaries make whenever they show up to one of our castles? I didn’t want to start an international dispute because of Prince Rutherford wanting a drink down here or something.”

Luna immediately nodded with her brows raised. “Aaaahhhh… Alright, that I can agree with.” As soon as she was reminded of Yakyakistan’s burly Prince, the Alicorn shuddered rather uncomfortably. “Ughh… I’m still upset by him stomping my porcelain doll collection last year.”

Right as Shining finished unlocking the gate, he had to stifle a giggle upon being reminded of that moment. “Oh, jeeze! Heh heh heh… Wasn’t that after Blueblood showed him that doll horror movie?”

“It was…” Luna crossed her arms over her voluptuous chest, and looked away from Shining with a scowl. “He still owes me quite a lot to pay for those damages.”

“Yeah, I bet!” With that, Shining smiled when he got the door unlocked with an audible metallic click. The gated bars opened up with a loud creak, revealing the interior of the wine cellar like it was a heavily-guarded vault. Shining walked into the spacious room first, humming in thought as he perused through the hundreds of aged bottles among the castle’s collection. Luna walked into the cellar behind him, her curiosity piqued when she took notice of some of the brands. However, before the Princess could try to recommend a vintage merlot or dry bordeaux, her attention was soon brought back towards Shining upon hearing his more suggestive tone. “Soooo… Did you have any ideas about what I should try?~”

Luna made sure that the doors were still open behind them, not wanting to be trapped in an enclosed space given their plans. And since everypony was continuing with the party upstairs, Luna didn’t show any signs of worry as she strutted up to the smirking Prince. “Wellllll… I wouldn’t mind recommending a particular brand from a curious Alicorn…”

Luna’s hands clasped over Shining’s shoulders, and she caught him by surprise as she pushed his back against one of the shelved walls. A bunch of the glass bottles loudly clacked from that impact, but thankfully nothing was broken. Instead, the only concern she seemed to have was keeping the Prince in place, as she leaned in close with her gorgeous blue eyes narrowing on him. “More specifically… I was hopeful you would be open to seeing how I compare to a certain other Princess~”

For most other married men, such an upfront proposal would’ve warranted a hard shove to keep some distance between themselves and Luna. But in the case of Shining Armor, whose intentions were far less ethical in private, his only response was to reach behind the Princess, and grasp both of her cheeks tightly to make her gasp loudly. “Oh, really now?” he asked with a raised brow showing great interest. “You really think you can outperform the Princess of Love?~”

As Luna’s blush deepened across her cheeks, the stallion’s close contact prompted her to lean in even closer to his muzzle. “Only if you allow me, your Highness…”

Shining bent in as well, and closed his eyes as he shared that first deep kiss with Princess Luna. Even though the stallion was “happily” married, and the Alicorn in his embrace was his wife’s Aunt, neither of them seemed to be too worried about moralities as they held each other more passionately. Luna’s arms wrapped tightly around Shining’s back, while her knees tried not to buckle from how dominantly he began to grope her backside. Both of their muzzles opened up almost in tandem, which allowed for their tongues to slip out and intensify their makeout session.

“Mmmmmmmm….” The two Royals passionately kissed while alone in the wine cellar, and didn’t seem to mind the stone floors beneath them as they began to undo their clothing. Shining’s hands pulled up from Luna’s curvaceous rump, and eagerly began to undo the back of her dress with a quick pull of the zipper. Meanwhile, Luna continued to kiss the stallion deeply while pulling her hands towards his front, and grasping the tent that was growing at the crotch of his trousers. As soon as she felt that thick, throbbing cock through the fabric, she pulled her muzzle back with a wet pop to grin up at him eagerly. “Well then!” she exclaimed with a satisfied look. “It seems that my niece really was joking up on that stage.”

“Ugh…” Despite how hard he was getting in his pants, especially when he felt the Princess’ grip tightening around his shaft, Shining still rolled his eyes with an annoyed expression. “I still can’t believe she said that in front of everyone,” he said in a bitter mumble. “I swear, it was like she was trying to downplay me or something.”

“Well, don’t worry about her right now…” Luna bent back in to give another long, sensual kiss to the stallion and quell his nerves. She then pulled back with a more enticing smirk, before reaching back to pull down the front of her dress. As soon as the black fabric fell to her waist, Shining’s eyes widened with a heavy blush upon seeing Luna’s thick, voluptuous breasts hanging perkily against her chest. She grinned even wider while staring back at the awe-stricken Prince, and brought her hands up to grasp both of her tits teasingly. “I have a feeling that you could use some proper attention for a change~”

Princess Luna slowly got herself down on her knees, and peered up at Shining with a coaxing smirk that made him shudder antsily. As the Prince shot an approving grin down at her, he quickly unzipped his fly before opening the front of his trousers, allowing his cock to spring out in its full ten inch glory. The thick, meaty endowment pointed right at the Princess’ face, while he said with a curious shrug of his head, “You know what? I wouldn’t mind seeing how better you claim to be~”

Luna’s grin widened excitedly, indicating just how long she had been wanting to indulge in her nephew-in-law without Cadance’s knowledge. She pulled her hands away from her bare breasts, and reached out to grasp both sides of the Prince’s hips. Her head leaned in with her eyes peering up at Shining, and her muzzle opened wide to allow her tongue to slip out. And as she peered right up at Shining’s stunning blue eyes, the Princess couldn’t help letting out a brief moan the moment her tongue dragged across his plump cockhead.

“NNNNGHHH!!~” The very instant he felt that soft and alluring tongue against his sensitive flesh, Shining’s body froze up while his head reeled back. He belted out a sharp groan through his teeth, and quickly clasped the back of Luna’s head with both hands to keep her in place. “Aaaahhh!! Ho… H-Holy fuck…”

“Hmph~” Luna seemed rather happy to receive such a strong response from her very first lick. But as her eyes remained pinned on the Prince’s blushed grimace, she wasn’t afraid to keep going to really titillate him. She bent in even further, and moaned out faintly as she pressed her tongue against the underside of the base. She took her sweet time as she pulled her puzzle back, giving a long and sensual drag along that thick shaft to make it twitch against her tenacious muscle. The Princess made sure to really drag her tongue hard against that twitching cockhead, which caused a hefty spurt of Shining’s precum to shoot into her open mouth. As soon as she pulled back, Luna moaned sensually as she closed her lips, and looked up at Shining with an audible gulp.

“Glk!~ Aaaaahhhh… It’s always nice to get a stallion’s attention so easil--MMPHH!!~”

“Nnnnghhh, don’t stop, don’t stop…” Before Luna could finish her coy remark, Shining tightened his grip against the back of her head to shove her muzzle back in. Her eyes shot wide-open the moment his thick, meaty cock was crammed into her mouth without warning. But despite her surprise, it didn’t take long for the Alicorn’s eyes to slowly close with a more contented expression. Her blush began to deepen immensely, and an enamored groan stemmed from her lips before they wrapped tightly around his shaft. Her hands moved back to get a strong grasp of the Prince’s muscular cheeks, which she shamelessly squeezed to elicit a sharp hiss from the stallion above. Meanwhile, the Princess only needed a deep breath through her nostrils before she pushed herself in, and slid her muzzle further down his twitching length.

“Aaaahhhh!!~” Shining leaned back against the shelf of vintage wines, and had his muzzle pointed to the ceiling with a ravenous moan. Even though he had been fortunate enough to receive Cadance’s similar affections many times before, his knees couldn’t help quivering from the sensation of her Aunt’s pillowy lips wrapped around his girth. Luna may have been significantly older than her niece, but her lustful intent showed no bounds as she began to work that shaft for all it was worth. Her eyes closed blissfully as she savored the thick, heady flavor of the stallion’s cockmusk, which left her mouth drooling with every slide of her lips. She began to bob her head back and forth, keeping a slow and teasingly titillating pace to ensure that Shining would remain right in place.

“Ho… H-Holy fuck, Luna…” Shining knew that it was inappropriate to be too explicit before Royal company, but he couldn’t help himself when said Royal was sucking him off like she was trying for her scuba license. As Luna’s hands tightened their grip on his firm ass, her lips were soon reaching close to the base of his shaft with every diligent bob of her head. She had to hold her breath during most of her passionate fellacio, mostly due to how close that plump cockhead was to hitting the back of her throat. But due to her experience -- both in age and the number of stallions she had the pleasure of assisting in similar circumstances -- Luna didn’t seem too worried about choking while feeling the distinct throbs of that shaft between her hungry lips.

“Nnnnghhhh!!” As Luna’s muzzlework grew more impressive with each passing second, Shining’s hips soon began to twitch and spasm in response to how tenaciously she was working his cock without pause. Cadance may have been a particularly skilled mare when it came to fellacio, but her Aunt wasn’t even flinching from the firm grip Shining had against the back of her mane. Aside from a couple gurgled breaths, Luna’s composure remained surprisingly calm while slathering her tongue and lips all over that prime piece of cockmeat. The bobs of her head grew more dedicated as she relaxed her throat, which allowed for Shining’s cockhead to start poking the back of her muzzle without triggering her gag reflex. And as her movements grew more notable, her supple breasts were soon moving back in forth in tandem with her bobbing head.

Shining groaned eagerly through his teeth, and began to thrust his hips against Luna’s muzzle each time she moved in. Because of that, the head of his cock was soon able to slip into the Princess’ throat, further restricting her airflow throughout her diligent process. Her cheeks may have grown redder, but her expression beneath that blush was still looking blissful while letting him use her mouth like his personal sex toy. In fact, even when the thick bulge of his cock began to show traveling up and down her throat with every thrust, the first few drops of her arousal could be seen trickling from between her legs to dribble onto the floor.

“Mmmphh!~” Luna pulled back one of her hands from Shining’s muscular rear, and immediately brought it down to slip beneath the skirt of her dress. Since she decided not to wear any panties for this venue, her fingers immediately slipped between her puffy lips like a hot knife through butter. Her muffled groans grew more intense as she started to finger herself vigorously. Her hand was soon drenched in the sweet, syrupy juices that were drooling from her aching cunny, which were quick to trickle down from her wrist to begin leaving a puddle between her legs. Even though it was obvious she wanted something else to give her an eager filling, she was perfectly content with letting the Prince rut her muzzle for the time being.

After all, considering how hard his shaft was starting to throb between her lips, Luna was confident to think that he won’t be finished with her after his first orgasm reached fruition.

“Aaaahhhh!!~” Shining’s eyes clenched shut, and his hips started to writhe in tandem with his thrusts becoming more erratic. As his knees began to buckle, the stallion tried his hardest to keep Luna’s head in place as his cock began to plug up her throat. His thick cockhead was starting to swell up from his impending climax, before it caused the Princess’ eyes to reopen beneath him. She wasn’t able to breathe in the slightest, and her head began to spasm against the Prince’s grip before hearing him moan out, “Aaahhhh!!~ I’m… I’m gonna… I’M GONNA!!!”

The rest of Shining’s warning plea was cut off by a heavy groan through his gritted teeth. The stallion’s body locked up intensely, and he could only give one final thrust into Luna’s drooling muzzle before feeling himself reach his peak. The thick bulge of his cockhead could be seen traveling down to the base of her throat, trapping Luna right against his crotch with his heavy balls pressed up against her chin. But despite how constrictive her positioning may have been, all that Luna could do was twitch elatedly in place while digging her fingers deeper into her winking slit. Meanwhile, her eyes rolled back in absolute pleasure as she felt his cock throbbing hard in her open mouth, as well as from those first thick ropes of his cum that immediately shot down directly to her stomach.

“GNAAAAAHHH!!” Shining’s orgasm lingered on for much longer than he would’ve expected, as Luna’s supple lips continued to suck him off during the duration of his release. Each time he shot a heavy load down the Alicorn’s gullet, an overwhelming wave of endorphins coarse through Shining’s system to leave his nerves twitching like an electrical surge. His knees felt like they were going to buckle beneath his weight, as his entire body felt like it was being drained of his energy like some spell from Queen Chrysalis. Fortunately though, by the time Shining felt the last of his throbs receding inside of that alluring muzzle, Shining’s hands eventually let go of the back of Luna’s head as he slumped back against the wine rack. “Aaaahhhhh… Hah… Hah… Hah… Hah…”

Luna was quick to pull her head back the instant Shining let go of her mane, which allowed that thick cock to slip out of her throat and hang flaccidly between his legs. Meanwhile, the Princess was left gasping for air while still on her knees, not that it kept her fingers from continuously fidgeting between the lips of her needy pussy. As she took enough heavy breaths to allow the spots in her vision to slowly dissipate, her other hand instinctively went up to begin pinching her bare, perky nipples to keep herself enticed. Shining may have been finished with his first orgasm, byt the Alicorn was still clearly able to keep going while writhing on the ground beneath him.

“Nnnnghhh… Oh, that was wonderful, Prince Shining~” As she peered up at him with a sensual grin, Luna secretly hoped that the adulterous stallion wouldn’t grow some expression of “post-coital” remorse after his fun. Fortunately though, despite how blushed Shining’s face may have looked, his expression only showed a brief bout of tiredness while smirking down at her. Meanwhile, Luna’s grin only widened while keeping herself kneeled before him, with one hand nestled in her crotch while the other continued to play with her nipples teasingly. “So… You still think that my niece is able to provide you with the best experience?~”

Even though most married stallions would’ve been pissed about such an assumption, Shining only huffed while keeping an amused smile on his aunt-in-law. “Heh~ So, what were you thinking?” he asked with a curious tilt of his head. “Were you wanting a confirmation or something?”

“Weeellllllll…” Luna clenched her eyes shut while shuddering with a brief moan, before she slowly pried her fingers from her winking slit. She pulled her hand from beneath her dress, revealing how thoroughly coated her digits were in the thick, glistening sheen of her juices. She kept her eyes up on Shining, smirking upon seeing his blush deepen immensely. And as she brought her fingers up towards her grinning muzzle, she made sure to give a teasing lick of her pinky before shuddering from the sweet and fruity flavor. “Nnnffff… W-Well… How about this?”

Luna took a moment to get herself back on her hooves, even though her knees were wobbling white a bit from that self-inflicted titillation. But as soon as she stood across from Shining in that confined wine cellar, she shot him an especially lustful gaze before lifting up the front of her skirt. Her bare, sopping-wet pussy was shown on full-display, with her lips and the inside of her thighs absolutely matted in the remnants of her arousal. “If you can answer my question honestly, I’ll allow you to reciprocate my generous actions with that tongue of yours~”

Shining’s eyes were practically bulging from his skull, and a shuddered breath was all that could come out of his gaping muzzle. However, just as Luna saw his hanging cock twitch especially hard to her alluring presentation, she was also able to see the curious smirk that grew across his muzzle. “Well… I’m certainly not against that kind of measure,” he replied with a cocky shrug. “Alright then, I’ll answer you honestly, your Highness.”

Luna’s eyes narrowed on him with a devilish smirk, and she decided to ask rather boldly, “Did I give you a better blowjob than your wife?~”

Shining’s eyes narrowed right back at her, as did his growing grin. The Prince then got onto his knees without hesitation, and loomed in towards her waiting snatch while peering up at her waiting gaze. “Yes,” he stated without remorse, just as his hands clasped both sides of her thick hips. “You certainly did give me the best blowjob I ever felt~”

Luna shivered with an especially delighted smile, and made sure to spread her legs wider apart while keeping her skirt raised high. “Then you better give me the best oral you can as well~”

Due to her firm and domineering voice, Shining didn’t show any reluctance as he nodded up at the Alicorn. “As you wish, Princess~”

Shining immediately lunged in with his eyes closed, and gave a deep drag of his tongue right up that dripping slit between Luna’s legs. As soon as he caught the taste of her sweet nectar, the fur along Shining’s back stood on end while belting out a shuddering moan. Of course, Shining’s response wasn’t nearly as audible as the Alicorn’s, as she instantly reeled her head back and moaned out from that first lick against her sensitive lips. Much like the Prince earlier, her muzzle pointed straight up while her mouth remained hung-open. “AAAHHHH!!~ Nnnnghhhh… Yeah, get in there!”

Luna tightly clasped the back of Shining’s black wig, and she pulled him in while his mouth was still open wide. Because of that, the Prince’s eyes shot open the moment his lips were tightly pressed against the outside of his Princess’ wet and winking cunt. The taste of her syrupy juices was intense enough to nearly sting his tastebuds, not that it bothered the stallion too much while his cock throbbed hard in its semi-flaccid state. Instead, much like what Luna had done with him, Shining’s hands went right around the Princess’ hips so he could grope both of her plump cheeks tightly in his grip. Meanwhile, his eyes clenched tightly shut before he plunged his tongue against that hungry slit, and slipped right through to really taste the Royal in all her glory.

“AIEEEE!!!” The very instant she felt her lips being spread open from the Prince’s tenacious tongue, Luna’s back arched away from the rack of wines she was braced up against. Her fingers tightened immensely against the back of Shining’s head, as she felt every nerve in her body tingling immensely from the fidgeting flicks of his muscle. Her pussy tried its hardest to clench around his tongue, almost as if she was wanting to keep it pinned deep inside to elicit further tantalizing pleasure. But due to how slick her folds had gotten from her own arousal, combined with the sopping-wet girth of Shining’s wriggling tongue, all that the Princess could do was try to stay in place while moaning in pleasure above his head. “Aaahhh!! Kee… K-Keep going, you stud!~”

Shining practically growled into her drooling pussy, absolutely loving hearing that kind of praise from the sultry Alicorn. Because of that, the Prince doubled-down on his efforts as he clenched his eyes even tighter, and pushed in to really eat out Luna’s hungry cunny. His lips greedily suckled around those puffy lips between the Princess’ legs, while his tongue dug in deep through her slit to taste every soft fold that caressed his tastebuds. Even as she started to gush out more of her syrupy juices around his muzzle, which he tried his hardest to lap up with every diligent suckle of his lips, Shining seemed perfectly content with letting her secretions dribble from his chin to leave another puddle on the floor.

Much like Princess Luna’s efforts earlier, Shining Armor wasn’t afraid to try and titillate the Alicorn as quickly as he could. By the time he heard her rapturous moans intensifying between each heated breath, Shining’s cock had already grown rock-hard once more between his legs. But instead of tending to his arousal like the Princess had, Shining was more focused on chowing down on that Royal muff while leaving his endowment untended. Of course, considering how he already reached orgasm from her dedicated muzzlework, it only seemed fair for him to reciprocate the gesture with his own tongue-lashing.

“AAAHHHHH!!” Due to how firmly Shining’s muzzle was nestled between her legs, Luna leaned back even harder against the wine rack before lifting up her legs. Shining could feel the Princess’ repositioning, and made sure to hold onto her hooves as they wrapped around the back of his head tightly. Soon enough, Luna was completely suspended in the air while seated atop Shining’s shoulders, with her pussy pursed right against the stallion’s ravenous muzzle. Her hands remained tightly clasped against the back of his head, while her hips began to writhe tightly against his face to keep him right where he belonged. “AAAAHHHHH!! Ohhhhh, yes!!! YES!!!~”

If there wasn’t a raging party going on upstairs (and a particular Princess being creampied just a couple floors higher), Shining likely would have tried to warn Luna about her audible moans in such a discrete location. But due to how secluded the two were -- not to mention the wonderfully sweet taste of her pussy juices coating every inch of his muzzle -- Shining couldn’t have cared less about the repercussions while devouring that pussy for all it was worth. Sure, Cadance’s marehood was certainly satisfying to eat out whenever she whined about needing more attention in the bedroom; but when it came to Luna’s gushing pussy, as well as her boisterous moans that kept his cock rock-hard, Shining couldn’t deny how badly he wanted to take her as soon as he was finished slathering every fold with his thirsty muzzle.

“AAAHHHH!!~” With an especially sharp moan of blissful pleasure, Luna’s whole body shuddered around Shining’s head while he was holding her against the wall. Her lips were constantly winking and drooling around his muzzle, which only made his tongue work in even deeper to leave her fur standing on end. And as her eyes clenched tightly shut, she could only take a couple rapid breaths before belting out, “G… Ge… GET ME OFF AND I’LL LET YOU FUCK ME ALL NIGHT!!!~”

Shining’s wide-eyed expression was accompanied with a heavy gasp of surprise, which in turn gave him a deep breath of her alluring scent right through his flaring nostrils. And as his cock twitched painfully hard in response to such a promise, the Prince instantly pried his tongue from between her lips to redirect his focus. His snout was already slathered with the clear and syrupy juices that were smeared over Luna’s clit; but just after growling out like a primal beast, Shining made sure to make his intentions clear as he lunged his mouth right over that meaty nub. His lips tightly pursed around the Alicorn’s clit, and his tongue flicked it relentlessly while sucking her to the point of instantaneous intensity.

“AAAIEEEEEEEE!!!” Luna could only hold onto the Prince’s head for dear life, and reeled in absolute pleasure as she succumbed to her deepest desires. “AAAHHH!! AAAAHHHHH!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!~”

The Princess practically exploded against the married stallion’s mouth, as her pussy helplessly quivered while spurting multiple strings of her arousal right into his hungry maw. Shining’s eyes shot wide-open upon feeling those sweet and syrupy squirts against his tongue, clearly not expecting for Luna to possess such a skill for a mare her age. But due to how tightly the Alicorn was latched around his head, his open muzzle proved to be the perfect place for Luna to unleash a torrent of her juices right down his gullet. Even though the Prince had to clench his eyes shut from such an onslaught of estrogen-laden secretions, his throat was quick to convulse as he hungrily swallowed every mouthful Luna shot right to the back of his muzzle.

“Aaaahhhhh!!~” Luna’s head reeled back while moaning in sheer ecstasy, and continued to squirt into his muzzle while her nerves were tingling near-endlessly. Her fingers were tightly clasping Shining’s mane to the point of hurting his scalp; but given how badly his cock was throbbing between his legs, it was doubtful he minded too much while pinned so tightly against the Princess’ snatch. Not to mention, even as the reverberating waves of orgasmic pleasure fina;ly began to recede, Luna continued to grind her clit against his lips while moaning in utter satisfaction. Even when her head finally rested back against the wine rack, and she was left panting like an exhausted dog, Luna’s grip on Shining’s head didn’t dissipate as she finally came down from her climax. “F… Fuck, Shining…”

The Prince couldn’t help smirking to himself, even when Luna’s pussy was tightly pressed against his face. When he finally managed to pry her legs off his legs, and he was able to lay her back on the ground in a sprawled-out stance, Shining could only huff while wiping the thick sheen of her juices from his matted muzzle. “Jeeze, Princess,” he remarked while flicking his hand to the side of her secretions. “I don’t think I ever got Cadance to squeal like that~”

Luna looked like she wanted to grin at such a flattering response; but after that intense tongue-lashing she was fortunate enough to experience, all she could do was lie on the floor while her legs were still spread wide-apart. Her pussy was not notably quite gaped after Shining’s impressive cunnilingus, with the fur across her thighs and waist absolutely matted in the remnants of her juices. But despite her less-than-Royal presentation, it didn’t take long before the Princess peered up at him with a lustfully half-lidded gaze. “Well… I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing if I can outperform her in other means as well…”

As the Alicorn smirked with a knowing wink, Shining could only huff while shrugging down at her. “Well, you did promise an all-night session, didn’t you? If you’re able to keep going, I have a feeling you can easily outdo the Princess of Love~”

Luna tried to chuckle in response, but could only elicit a couple of hiccuped breaths while grinning up at him. However, her legs remained invitingly spread apart as she narrowed her eyes on him. “Honestly… Given how hard you’ve gotten, I have a feeling I already have~”

Shining took a quick glance down at his cock, which was still standing rigidly while pointed straight at that Royal slit winking back at him. Luna may have looked a little wiped-put, but that didn’t faze Shining in the slightest as he shuddered with an antsy grin before her. “Touchè, your Highness~”

Shining got himself on his hands and knees, and crawled up towards the Princess to give a deep kiss on the lips. And as the Nightmare Night Gala continued to go at full-swing up above, Shining and Luna were quick to resume their fun within the wine cellars down below...

Chapter Three: A Chance Encounter

The Following Morning

Considering how eventful the previous night had been, Silver Soldier wished that he was able to take a day off from his Royal Duties. Unfortunately, due to how much cleanup was necessary after the Nightmare Night celebration, most of the assigned Guards and castle staff had to work hard to bring the castle to tip-top shape. Dozens of ponies were working tirelessly in the ballroom, cleaning up the discarded streamers and decorations after all the attendees left the previous night. Meanwhile, Silver Soldier was among the troops assigned to oversee the Royal Couple, who were both sporting fairly strong headaches from their respective hangovers.

Shining Armor spent a good portion of his morning in his personal office, using the excuse of “looking over paperwork” to ignore talking with anypony. In a moment of pure stupidity, the Prince ended up sleeping in the wine cellar with Princess Luna after their impromptu romp. It was nothing short of a miracle that nopony caught the two of them down in that basement, or that he was able to freshen himself up before anyone got suspicious. Unfortunately, when he managed to sneak upstairs to his bedroom, he was shocked to find his wife sprawled out in bed, looking rather pleased in the afterglow of something he hadn’t experienced himself. Part of him wished more than anything that he was able to confront her about it, or even wake her up to question what was dripping between her legs; but alas, since he was dealing with his own adulterous actions, all he could do was sneak into the shower and get Luna’s distinct perfume off his body.

“Urrghh!!” The Prince hunched at his desk with a frustrated scowl, growing too agitated to even browse through his smartphone like usual. He remembered how cluelessly Cadance acted by the time he exited the bathroom, with her smiling all chipper and acting like they had a great night together. Shining had no idea if she really thought they had sex that night, or if she was setting up some trap to get him to admit to something himself. Regardless of her intentions, Shining was forced to act like nothing was wrong, and even played along with the idea that they shared a lovely evening in bed together. And now as he sat alone in his office, he wasn’t sure what he should’ve been more agitated about: that somebody else fucked his wife, or the idea that she fucked someone thinking it was him.

He didn’t want to think that Cadance would fall for something that stupid, but he could recall how wasted she was during that party. Not to mention, given what happened between himself and Chrysalis before his wedding, he knew better than to doubt how easily someone could be tricked in that way. Part of him wanted to start an investigation, or show some level of concern that Cadance was taken advantage of. Unfortunately, since he was guilty of his own infidelity, all he could do was mutter under his breath, “I swear to Celestia, I’m gonna snap if somepony else touches her…”

Over on the other end of the castle, Princess Cadance was trying her hardest to quell her headache by taking some personal time in the Crystal Castle’s spa. As she laid out on a plush fainting couch with calming music playing from her phone, she was holding an ice-pack up to her head to combat her hangover. In her other hand was a tall bloody mary, which was now half-empty and void of all its olives. Cadance usually hated the drink, since it reminded her of cold tomato soup mixed with too much tabasco; but considering how badly her head was throbbing earlier, she couldn’t deny how effectively the mix was helping her now. Although, that may have also been because of the vodka she generously added first.

“Aaaaahhhhh…” Cadance sighed and leaned her head back, trying to savor the tranquility that came from having a moment to herself. However, her thoughts kept going back to how unusual Shining was acting earlier. Considering how wild and passionate he was acting last night, she was half-expecting for him to sweep her off her hooves this morning. But like some weird personality shift akin to a monster movie, Shining acted strangely cold and distant when she woke up. Sure, he kept a light smile and nodded a bit, but it was obvious he was hiding something as he stared at her. If Cadance hadn’t have known any better, she would’ve assumed that he was suspecting her of something.

Cadance didn’t want to think about it, but it was nagging at her conscience like a bad riddle she couldn’t figure out in her head. Unfortunately, that only made her hangover feel even worse, despite how much of that bloody mary she consumed. By the time she finished her glass, nearly gagging from the strong aftertaste, she groaned before sitting up from her seat. She reached over towards the button on the wall, and pressed it to call for assistance.

‘BZZZZTTT!!’

“Hmm?” Silver Soldier, who was coincidentally standing outside the spa doorway as protection, perked his head up when he overheard the buzzing inside the room. He knew that meant Cadance was needing something, most likely from one of the members of castle staff. However, when he looked up and down the hallway in wait, nopony was coming in to see what was wrong. His muzzle skewed worriedly, since he was aware of how busy most of the servants were with cleanup in the ballroom. He heard the buzzer go off a couple more times, before Cadance’s voice could be heard groaning from inside the room.

“Ughhh, come on!” Cadance covered her face and pinched the bridge of her snout, not wanting to get too agitated in her hungover state. Even though she was in dire need of a refill, or even a massage from one of the spa staff, she didn’t want to keep pressing the buzzer like some bitchy socialite. Her head may have been hurting, but she knew that there was likely a lot that castle staff were doing downstairs. She eventually stopped pressing that damn button, and groaned while rubbing her eyes with a fist. “Jeeze, how would I even make a bloody mary for myself?”

“Ummm… do you not know how?”

Cadance looked up in surprise, and saw Silver Solider standing by the doorway. He was blushing rather nervously, his eyes darting between the Princess and the post he just left from. He didn’t want to break protocol, but he couldn’t help pointing out to the hallway before saying, “Because, ummm… I’m pretty sure most of the staff are cleaning up the ballroom, and… if you want…”

Silver blushed with a worrisome skew of his muzzle, and averted his eyes from her sheepishly. The Princess tried not to huff in amusement, and smirked from how cute the bashful Guard was looking. Silver knew that his suggestion was going to break a few rules that Guards were supposed to abide by; but considering what he already did the previous night, he decided to just go for it. “I… I can probably make you a new one from that bar over there…”

Silver Soldier was pointing over at the small juice bar, which was at the far end of the spa behind Cadance. Even though the station was fully stocked, including hard liquor on request, nopony was behind the counter to make Cadance a new drink. The Princess raised a brow with intrigue, but didn’t seem offended by his offer. Instead. Cadance shrugged with a smile before handing him her glass. “If you don’t mind… that would actually be quite lovely~”

Silver smiled though his blush, and took her glass with a gracious nod. He made his way over to the bar, and snuck behind the counter to prepare a bloody mary with ease. “Ummm… do you have any specifics, your Highness?” he asked politely enough. “I-I don’t want to screw up or anything.”

“As long as it has a couple shots of the good stuff, I’ll be fine.” Cadance readjusted herself as she watched the Guard behind the bar, narrowing her eyes on him curiously. She knew quite a few of the Crystal Guards around the castle, but there was something about Silver Soldier that left her feeling intrigued. Maybe it was because he was one of the few Guards who wasn’t a Crystal Pony. Maybe it was because he had a cute face under that helmet, which looked… strangely familiar to the Princess. Or maybe it was just because he was bold enough to assist her when nopony else could. But whatever the reason was, Princess Cadance seemed rather happy to make his company by the time he returned.

“H-Here you go, your Highness~” Silver Soldier returned with a fresh bloody mary, which he placed a miniature umbrella on top to add for presentation. He was sure that his drink still looked lousy, but he gave a kind smile nonetheless.

“Thank you very much, Mister…” Cadance took the Guard’s glass without question, and waited for him to introduce himself properly as she took a sip. Her brows rose up, and she gave an approving nod to how well he prepared her drink.

“O-Oh! Umm…” The Guard stood proudly to give her a formal salute, and said, “I’m Private Silver Soldier, your Highness.”

“Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Silver Soldier~” Cadance saluted him back, and waited until he put his hand down to add, “And you can call me Cadance if you want, Private. The whole ‘Your Highness’ thing gets old after a while.”

She gave a light chuckle after that specification, which gave her smile a more humbling light from Silver’s perspective. The Guard couldn’t help smirking back, despite how intimidated he felt internally. Sure, he may have already fucked her last night, but that was back when she was drunk and assuming he was her husband. But as of now, all that she saw was a nervous-looking Guard who was trying to accommodate her.

“W-Well, ummm…” Silver looked back at the doorway, which was left open to reveal an empty hallway. Since it didn’t look like anypony was coming, he glanced back at her to ask, “Is there anything else you need? Because I was just about to head back outside if--”

“Actually, ummm…” With that interruption, Cadance began to blush before averting her eyes from him. She seemed embarrassed about what she was going to ask, but her pause was ended with a brief huff. “Listen, I… I know this is inappropriate to ask of a Guard, but… could you maybe give my shoulders a rub? I’ve been tense all morning, and the masseuse isn’t here.”

Silver’s eyes shot wide-open, not expecting Cadance to ask for something that upfront. Even though his heart was racing from such a golden opportunity, he had to keep himself from smiling too giddily. He knew how risky it’d be to accept such a request, especially if somepony came in and saw the two. But at the same time, his thoughts went back to those pictures he took of the Princess the previous night… and with that, Silver knew that he had to take this opportunity to heart if he really wanted things to happen in the near future.

“W-Well, ummm…” The Guard blushed sheepishly, but eventually nodded with a smile. “If you’re the one asking for it, then… who am I to turn down a Royal request?~”

Cadance smiled a little wider, happy to see the Guard shrugging so quickly in agreement. Since she was wearing a plush bathrobe with nothing underneath, the Princess was careful as she turned around with her back facing Silver. She kept a posh posture while seated on the fainting couch, and slowly pulled down her robe enough for her bare shoulders to be exposed. She kept the rest of her body tightly covered, which was perfectly fine for Silver Soldier as he got up behind her. He may have not been the most skilled in massages, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t willing as he gently placed his hands on her shoulders to start rubbing.

“Nnnnnnnn…” In a matter of seconds, Cadance was able to close her eyes and let out a relaxed sigh. Silver tried not to blush too profusely, but that was easier said than done as he began to rub her shoulders sensually. He didn’t dare veer his hands down further, just in case Cadance got any assumptions about his intentions. In Silver’s head, he was trying to think of something to say while getting Cadance relaxed -- more specifically, he was hoping he could say something to spark more interest between them. As Cadance took a couple more sips from her bloody mary, Silver dug his fingers into the crook of her neck while asking, “So, ummm… you have a good time last night?~”

“Hmm?” Cadance didn’t show much in her tone, but her eyes widened when he heard that question being asked so suggestively.

“I-I mean,” he blurted quickly after, realizing how that must’ve sounded without context. “I mean, uhhh… did you enjoy the party?”

“Oh! Ummm…” Cadance breathed out with a relieved smile, and said, “Yeah, it was a wonderful celebration. I’m really grateful to have enjoyed it as it was… Although I’m a little embarrassed how much I had to drink…”

“Hey, don’t blame yourself for that, your High--I mean, Cadance…” Silver continued to rub her shoulders while she softened in his hands. He gave her a genuine smile and added, “Considering how much you deal with as Princess, I think you deserve some personal fun every now and then~”

“Hmph…” Cadance shrugged with a cheeky smirk. “Well, I’m certainly not going to argue with that.”

“Yeah, no doubt…” Silver pondered what else he could say, since he could tell that she was growing less tense the more he massaged her. His muzzle skewed worriedly, since he knew it was too soon to try anything too upfront with the Princess. But in an effort to get a little closer, he tried to say lightheartedly, “So, I was curious… What gave you the idea to dress up as Chrysalis for Nightmar--”

“HEY!!!”

Silver and Cadance yelped out in shock, and turned to see Shining Armor standing at the doorway with a livid scowl. He stormed into the spa, making a beeline straight towards Silver in rage. Cadance tried to get up and stand between them, but Shining wasn’t even looking at her. His eyes were pinned straight at Silver, who’s mortified face paled in unrelenting fear.

“C-Captain!” blurted Silver while taking a couple steps back. “I-I-It’s not what it looks li--”

“BULLSHIT!!” Shining’s enraged roar really caught Silver off-guard, as he could tell the Prince was already on edge since last night. “You think you come in here, abandon your post, AND TRY TO FUCK MY WIFE AGAIN?!”

Before Silver could even gasp in horror, Shining threw a suckerpunch that knocked the stallion off his hooves. With a sickening ‘POW!’, Silver crumpled to the ground and clutched his cheek. “GAHHH!!”

“SHINING, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!” Cadance instantly pushed her husband back, causing Shining to stumble a little before looking back at her. His expression instantly morphed to regret when he saw how furiously she was glaring at him. She was still holding her bloody mary, which proved to be the perfect weapon as she shouted, “And what did you mean by ‘again?!’ Oh my gosh, I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU RIGHT NOW!!”

Shining couldn’t even get a word in before she threw the rest of her drink right in her husband’s face. While his fur was stained with tomato juice and hot sauce, Cadance got behind the stallion and forcefully pushed him out of the room. “I asked him to give me a massage, you jealous creep! And until you come up with an apology for BOTH of us for such an assumption, I don’t want to see you for the rest of the day!!”

As soon as Shining stumbled back out into the hall, Cadance slammed the door shut and locked it tightly. Shining tried to knock a couple times, but his guilt overtook him as he stood alone in the hallway. He tried to sigh in remorse as he held his hands over his face; unfortunately, all that did was make him wince painfully, and stumble down the hall for a water fountain. “GAHHH!! Hot sauce in my eye!!”

Cadance paid no attention to her husband’s strained cries disappearing down the hall, and rushed over to pick Silver up from the floor. “Ohmigosh, I’m so sorry, Private! I promise you, I’m going to make sure he doesn’t give you any reprimand for this! He was completely out of line!”

“Urrghhh… I-It’s alright…” Silver Soldier had to keep himself from saying anything else, since he was still worried whether or not Shining actually knew anything about them. Fortunately, Cadance was quick to hand him the ice pack she was using earlier. He didn’t have a black eye, but he still placed the pack up against his cheek to avoid swelling. “Ummm… thanks, Cadance.”

“Oh, don’t be like that. It’s the least I could do…” She led him back to the couch, ignoring the fact that her robe was partially undone. She sat him down beside her, and helped keep that ice pack in place. “I cannot believe the nerve of him! I swear, he’s acting totally different from last night! It’s like I dealt with a completely different person!”

Silver Soldier’s eyes grew wide-open in fear, although he tried to hide it with a nervous smile. “Uhhh… Y-You don’t say? Heh heh…”

“Oh, what am I doing? I shouldn’t be telling you about this…” After huffing to herself disappointedly, she said to the Guard, “Please don’t say anything about this, Silver Soldier. I can’t deal with any drama or rumors.”

“H-Hey, don’t worry!” he put up his hands in assurance while smiling. “I swear, this is staying between us. Trust me, I don’t want to deal with trying to file a complaint against a Prince…”

Cadance smiled back, and tried not to giggle from that truthful remark. “Well, thank you…” Her eyes eventually peered back at the door, which made her groan with a shake of her head. “Still though, I never saw him like that before. It’s unreal…”

Silver nodded his head, his thoughts going towards what he witnessed the previous night. Part of him wanted to mention what he heard between Shining and Luna; partially to get the Prince in hotter water, but also for Cadance’s sake. But since they were the only ones to witness them in that moment (and she was too drunk then to recall who her aunt was with), he decided to keep a cork on that bombshell. Instead, he tried to say with a sympathetic shrug, “Who knows? Maybe… Maybe it was some weird form of projection or something…”

Cadance looked back at him with a raised brow. “Projection?” she asked confusedly. “Like… what, you think he might be assuming an affair from experience or something?”

“I have no idea!” he said with fake sincerity. “I just mean, like… it’s just a guess, okay? If anything, you know way more about him than I do.”

“Yeah…” Cadance looked down at her robe with uncertainty. “Or at least… I feel like I should…”

“Hey, come on…” Silver wasn’t thinking when he reached out, and placed a hand atop her bare shoulder. When she looked up at him, she didn’t look surprised or offended by his gesture. If anything, she looked more curious about what he might have to say. He shot her a light smirk as he shrugged his head, and said reassuringly, “If there’s anyone knows what to do in cases like this, it would be the Princess of Love~”

Cadance smiled back at him thankfully, and nodded in response. She brought up her own hand, resting it on top of Silver’s. With her other hand, she reached out to gently touch the side of Silver’s face where Shining punched him. Part of him wanted to think that she was just inspecting the damage; but as her eyes narrowed on him more intensely, Silver started to worry that she was starting to recognize him from last night.

“Hmmm… It doesn’t look too bad…” Cadance looked back at Silver thoughtfully, and asked, “How do you feel, Private?”

“W-Well, uhhh… having you here certainly helps~” Silver hoped that his remark wasn’t too corny, but he stuck by it with a nervous smile. “And, uhhh… You can call me Silver, if you want.”

Cadance shot him a warmer smile, and said, “You know what? I think I will…”

The two smiled more naturally after that, even when Silver brought his other hand to rest atop the Princess’ against his face. Silver and Cadance sat like that for a moment, appreciating each other’s kind smiles while in that oddly wholesome moment. Cadance eventually let go of Silver’s hand, and leaned in towards his face. The Guard instantly blushed heavily from her close proximity, not knowing what was happening until she gave a gentle peck to his bruised cheek.

“Muah~” Cadance looked at him with a cheeky smile, and said, ‘There you go. That seems rather fitting of a Princess of Love, don’t you think?~”

“Y… Y-Yeah…” Silver kept blushing while so close to those lips, which no longer reeked of alcohol like last night. But still, her beautifully calm smile shone just as well as it had back underneath that tablecloth. Part of him wanted to lean in, and kiss the Princess with as much passion as he had before. But at the same time, he knew that it would be unbelievably stupid to even try such a thing…

However, despite Silver’s conflicting thoughts, he couldn’t keep his head from leaning in regardless.

“Muah~” Just like Cadance, Silver Soldier reciprocated her gesture by giving a light peck to her cheek. Cadance was left wide-eyed in shock, not expecting for a Guard to do something that bold. The moment his brain came back in sync with his body, he gasped and pulled back with a horrified look. “Ohmigosh, I’m so sorry!” He covered his muzzle with a hand, not that it did anything to counteract his actions. He then pulled it away to blurt out, “I-I just… I wasn’t thinking, and I just--”

“Sssssshhhhh…” Cadance interrupted his thoughts by pressing a finger up against his lips, silencing him briefly. Despite her surprised blush, she kept a non-judgmental smile and said, “It’s alright, Silver Soldier. I said it before, and I’ll say it again. Nothing has to leave this room.”

Silver wanted to sigh in relief, but all he could do was smile before nodding. Cadance pulled her hand back, and reached to grab the collar of her robe as it hung from her midsection. But instead of pulling it up, her hand remained there for a moment. Silver looked back up at the Princess, his eyes widening when he saw a contemplative look on her face.

Was she… Was she considering it?

Silver’s eyes darted between Cadance’s pursed muzzle, and the way her eyes were averting away from him; and down towards those plump, voluptuous breasts that were just barely being hidden behind her robe. With just a single motion, she could either redress herself, or undo it completely while the two were alone. Silver didn’t want to think such a choice would be available to him so soon; but when he saw how deeply she was blushing, it seemed obvious that she was at a crossroads herself. Especially after that awkward moment between herself and Shining Armor…

“Nothing…” Upon hearing his voice, Cadance glanced back at the Guard. Her eyes widened as well, as she saw him with a hand against his chest-plating. He was holding onto the latch that would undo his armor, and was trying his hardest to look confident as he asked with a smirk, “Nothing has to leave this room… right?~”
