This is an AU to No Nose Knows.

Princess Celestia, the wife of her beloved prince Baked Bean, is ecstatic to find out that her husband had survived his encounter with Tirek. However, his strange behavior, causes her to suspect treachery, which is discovered when the changeling replacing her husband.

In a fit of rage, she calls upon her own Nightmare form: Daybreaker. Striking a deal that the tyrant can temporary rule in exchange for a short bout of freedom upon Bean's rescue, the ancient Empress accepts and sets off to conquer the changeling.

This story, as per the AU tag, is an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE to Irrespective's "No Nose" universe. I worked with him throughout writing this story, and I want to make it clear me and him have two different writing styles. This is by NO MEANS canon to his stories, but is a different take in a different set of circumstances. Please also note that while this story contains clop, Irrespective keeps his stories clean.
