Thorax was truly astonished when he heard the creature speaking Equestrian just like what Cadence has told him, but it's accent has gotten him appalled. But, he pushed the anxiety out of his head and began to interrogate it.

"Yes I am creature." Thorax said with a nod "My name is Thorax, and I am the King here." He introduced himself, then he introduced his wife and son to him.

"The alicorn here is my wife Twilight Sparkle."

"And the smaller alicorn next to my wife is my son."

Twilight was looking down at Spectre with a perplexed expression, she has never seen a creature like that before. As for Alistair, he was starring down at Spectre with a concerned expression because, he doesn't knows what punishment his parents will give him after he maimed two of her aunts.

"Can you tell me your name?"

"Spectre." He replied simply.

Thorax raised an eyebrow in confusion from the odd name, but he pushed it out of his head and began to ask him some inquiries he and his wife has.

"Okay mister Spectre, me and my wife have some inquiries that we would like to ask you." Thorax told him, but Spectre disregarded him.

"Alright then first question, what kind of creature are you?" Thorax asked.

"I'm a human, homo sapiens." He replied.

"Care to elaborate?" Thorax asked.

"No." Spectre replied with shake of his head. "I will not disclose any classified informations." He told him.

"Mister Spectre I am the King here and it is my responsibility to-"

"Don't care, now move on to the next question." Spectre demanded sternly, Thorax tried to talk but Spectre cut him off "Next question, or I'll fight my way out of here." He warned him in a cold tone.

Thorax was a bit intimidated by the creature's cold warning, he let out a defeated sigh and nodded.

"Alright." Thorax sighed "My next question, what were you doing in Ponyville?" He asked.

"I saw monsters there." He replied simply.

"What kind of monsters?"

"Loathsome lickers with black faces." Spectre replied.

Thorax was truly bewildered by the word 'Lickers'. Are those some sort of animals that he never knew about.

He was going to ask him some inquiries about this creature but before he could, he felt a gentle tap on his hoof. Thorax looked to his left and noticed that his wife was getting his attention.

"Yes Twily?" Thorax asked softly.

"Thory, do you mind if I ask the creature some questions I have please?" Twilight asked in a polite and soft tone.

"Sure, by all means." Thorax said with a smile.

"Thank you." Twilight said as she nuzzled her husband affectionately, and Thorax nuzzled back.

After a brief moment, Twilight pulled herself away from her husband and looked down at the creature standing before them.

"I have some questions that I would like to ask you Spectre." Twilight told him. But, Spectre disregarded her as if he didn't cared.

"Okay first question, why did you assaulted my friend Applejack there?" Twilight asked with a serious expression as she pointed at her friend.

Spectre looked to where she was pointing at and saw that she is pointing at the orange pony he fought in the Everfree forest hours ago. He then looked back up at her with an emotionless expression behind his goggle mask.

"Maybe you should ask the applebutt first." Spectre said in an insulting tone "She was the one who instigated everything." He told her in a cold tone.

"Hey!" Applejack exclaimed "Who are ya callin' applebutt?!" She asked as she glared at the creature.

"Calm down Applejack." Twilight told her, when Applejack heard that, she exhaled and forced herself to calm down. Then, Twilight looked down at the creature with an angry expression "Now, I do not like any unknown species insulting my friends and family like that. If they do, they will usually get a repercussion. But, this is an interrogation not an assault attempt. So I will move on to the next question." She said.

"Fine then." Spectre scoffed. He was getting a bit irked from this grilling, he wished that he could snatch back all of his weapons on the long table on his right. But, it wouldn't be a good idea because, he doesn't wants to maim Alistair as well. So, he decided to endure it a bit more.

"Okay, as for my second question, why did you assaulted my sister in law Cadence?" Twilight asked.

Spectre looked at the pink alicorn who glared menacingly at him mainly because he wounded her during their battle. After a brief second, he looked back up at the Queen.

"Ask her, she instigated everything as well." Spectre told her in a cold tone.

"Fine." Twilight said with a roll of her eyes in irritation. Then, she looked at Cadence "Cadence, what had happened?" She asked.

"Well Twilight, after I flew out if Alistair's bedroom as well as checking on your mother, I rushed straight towards Ponyville to see what was happening after witnessing the smoke. Once I got there, I saw a creature in the middle of town. I thought he was hostile so I came forward blasted him in the chest and attempted to ask him some inquiries, but he revolted and that's how our fight began." Cadence replied.

Twilight was a little bit shocked to hear that it was her sister in law who commenced the entire battle just like what Spectre had said. But, he still didn't had to wound her that severely.

"Even if that is true creature, you still didn't have to wound her that badly." Twilight told him in an angry tone.

"Whatever, she still attacked me first." Spectre told her in a cold tone.

"Now cre-"

"Next question." Spectre demanded sternly "I'm getting vexed here." He told her in a hazardous tone.

"Fine." Twilight groaned in frustration "Okay, my last question is, how did you sneak into the Changeling Kingdom and into my son's room?" She asked.

Alistair's eyes widened in fear when he heard that inquiry, he was the one who brought Spectre into his room for some questioning of his.

"Uh oh." Alistair thought with an anxious expression.

Spectre froze at that question too because, he couldn't risk exposing how her son snuck him into his home in the first place.

Alistair then placed both hooves on his head because, he was desperately trying to keep this a secret, but he couldn't keep lying, he needed to reveal the truth. Then, he looked at his mother.

"I was the one who brought him in!"

Twilight, Thorax, the mane six, Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence and the changeling guards all looked up at Alistair with a traumatized and nonplus expression when they heard that.

"Alistair, you brought him in?" Twilight asked.

"Y-yes." Alistair said nervously.

Spectre was completely surprised when he saw Alistair confronting the truth to his parents.

"W-why?" Thorax asked.

"Well, I was walking back home from Ponyville after seeing my uncle injured by Spectre, and while walking, I saw him lying in the Everfree forest bleeding from his left arm. I then brought him into a cave and performed a medical operation. After that, he woke up fifty minutes later and I persuaded him to go to my home for some questioning. I used an invisibility spell to sneak him into my room." Alistair delineated with a shameful expression.

Twilight was truly shocked by that statement, she couldn't believe that her son would keep a secret from her and her father. Then, she decompressed herself by taking a deep breath and exhaling it out. After that, she looked down at her son.

"Go to your room Alistair." Twilight told him "I'll have a word with you after the interrogation." She finished.

"Yes mommy." Alistair said in a sad tone.

After that, Alistair got off his throne, flew down the stairs and to the throne room doors. After that, he pushed the two doors open and walked to his room. Thorax was a bit depressed when he saw what had happened as well as the mane six, the princesses and the changelings. Before he could get his wife's attention, she asked the creature another question.

"What did you do to my son after your arrival?" Twilight asked with a serious expression.

"Nothing." Spectre replied "He just asked me a few questions and that was it." He told her.

Twilight thought that the statement the creature explained was a bit unbelievable, so she decided to cast a memory spell to know what had happened. But before she could do that, she noticed that the whole place has gotten dark. Twilight looked up and saw that it was late at night now. After that, she looked back down.

"We'll end the interrogation here." Twilight said with a sigh, then she looked at the guards. "Guards, take him back to the dungeon." She reordered.

"Yes my Queen."

After that, six changeling guards walked up to Spectre. Once they reached him, one of them cuffed his hands again and began to escort him out of the throne room and into the dungeons.

While the guards were doing that, Twilight looked down at her friends and told them to stay in the guest rooms for the night. Her friends nodded and walked to the guest rooms in the Changeling Kingdom.

Once they were alone, Thorax looked at his wife with a depressed expression.

"Twily, you didn't have to say that to our son." Thorax told her in a soft tone.

Twilight sighed and said "I know but, he kept a secret from us."

"Yeah he did, but he just wanted to interrogate the creature." He told her "Remember how you kept a secret from your parents when you and I were dating?" He asked her.

Twilight froze at that inquiry, she did indeed kept a secret from her parents that she and Thorax were secretly dating each other five years ago. When her parents found out about it, they were very mad at her. She then let out a defeated sigh.

"Maybe your right." Twilight sighed "I'll just have a chat with him." She told him.

"Good." Throax said with a smile "While you are doing that, I'll be waiting for you in our bedroom because, our son will have a royal meeting with his subjects in Canterlot tomorrow." He told her.

"Okay."

Then, Thorax and Twilight both shared a tender kiss for a brief second then releasing. After that, the two couples both got off their thrones and exited the throne room. After that, Throax walked to his and his wife's bedroom, and Twilight walked to her son's bedroom.

In Alistair's bedroom, Alistair was sitting on his bed while looking down on the floor with a shameful expression. He then heard his room door opening, and when he looked up he saw his mother entering.

"Oh hey mommy." Alistair said in a sad tone.

"Hello sweetie." Twilight said in a soft tone, she then walked up to his bed. Once she got to it, she sat next to him and pulled him in close for a hug, and Alistair hugged back.

"I'm sorry mommy, I shouldn't have lied to you and dad." Alistair said in a shameful tone.

"No no no it's okay baby, I'm the one who should apologize to you, you just wanted to help interrogate the creature."

"But, I kept a secret from you."

"You did, and I did as well."

"What do you mean?" Alistair asked in a perplexed tone.

"Well, before you were born, me and your daddy went out on a lot of dates. My parents didn't know about it because I kept it a secret from them, and after our fifteenth date, my parents found out and scolded me." Twilight said with an embarrassed chuckle.

"Really? That's horrible."

"Indeed." Twilight said with a nod "And that's how I learned my lesson in not to keep any more secrets." She added, and Alistair chuckled from his mother's statement.

"Anyways, promise mommy that you will not keep any more secrets from us?"

"I promise." Alistair said sternly.

"That's my son." Twilight said as she stroked his head "Ah well, you should get to bed now, tomorrow you will have that huge meeting with your pony and changeling subjects in Canterlot." She tomd him.

"Okay." Alistair said with a nod.

After that, Alistair tucked himself in bed and pulled the blankets over him. He then placed his head on his soft pillow and let out an adorable yawn.

"Good night mommy." Alistair said softly as he drifted into sleep.

"Goodnight baby." Twilight said. After that, she kissed her son on his cheek and turned off his lamp.

Then, she got up from his bed walked and walked towards the door of his room. Once she got to it, she pushed it open softly and looked back at her son for a moment with a warm smile because of the adorable sight of her son snoring softly in his bed. After that, she closed the door and walked to her and her husband's bedroom.
