Hivemind Control

Cadance stepped out of the carriage, looking around the fortress to take in the layout. She'd been here once before, only briefly, so she knew where some things were, but it was a lot busier now than it had been then. When she'd been here before, less than fifty soldiers were present.

A captain approached with two escorts. "Welcome to Fort Phalanx, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza," he bowed. "Were there any difficulties on your trip?"

"No, and Princess Cadance is fine. Is Celestia here already?"

The captain blushed as he looked away. "She's, ah... She's here, but she's... entertaining a stallion right now. She has been all day. I don't know if right now is--"

"It's nothing I haven't seen before," answered Cadance, cutting him off. "It may take time for me to recover from seeing my aunt in such a position, but this is more important than my comfort."

"If you say so," nodded the captain slowly. "This way, please."

The captain turned and led Cadance through the rooms of the fort, briefly going over some of the amenities that she might avail herself of. At some junctions, he simply pointed down hallways, explaining that the rooms he was indicating were not going to be shown because they would take some time and weren't en route to where Celestia was. Cadance had a limited mental map by the time they reached a small door that rattled in its hinges as if some kind of draft were on the other side. A muffled moaning could be heard, as well, and the soldier guarding the door was red in the face, trying to hide his erection from Cadance.

"This is the fort commander's bedchambers. It was where I slept, but with the princess being here, I have abdicated for her comfort. We have also cobbled the map room into a bedroom for you, for the duration of your stay. It's just down the hall, and you can proceed there when ready. Any of my soldiers can lead you there; just ask." As he reached up to knock on the door, his trepidation was accented by calls of pleasure from beyond the door. "We can still come back later, if you prefer."

With a deep breath, Cadance grabbed the handle and entered, not even bothering to knock. She was immediately greeted with the sight of her aunt bouncing up and down on the bed, her tongue hanging out of her mouth and her eyes rolled back in pleasure. Her thighs were soaked in a mixture of ejaculate. Beneath her, a pegasus stallion lay on the bed, just barely keeping alert.

"Princess Celestia," she announced, "I have come to speak with you. At your next climax, please disembark the stallion."

"So you can take him?" scoffed Celestia. "Not a chance."

"I promise, I will not be taking away your partner," she swore. She turned to the captain, who was looking anywhere that wasn't Celestia. "Bring me a large kettle of tea and two quarts of orange juice."

"Right away, Majesty," nodded the captain, eager for an excuse to leave the room. As the door closed, Cadance made her way over to a small dining table, sat down in a high-back chair, crossed her legs, and looked disapprovingly at Celestia. While it seemed to do nothing at first, by the time the captain knocked on the door with the drinks, Celestia had slowed to a grind. Without looking away or blinking, Cadance poured a cup of tea for herself, with a squirt of honey, and took a sip.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" grumbled Celestia. "You're looking at me in a way that a parent looks at a child who doesn't listen."

"How apt," said Cadance in a morose tone. "You're acting like a child who will not play nice with her siblings."

Celestia's hips fell flat. Cadance had successfully halted her libido. As she pulled herself off the bed, the cock that had been inside of her fell with a splat into the puddle around his hips, completely flaccid and only barely able to keep its form. With a sigh, Celestia moved over to the table and sat down. "So what is it you want?"

"I want you to end this feud with Luna," answered Cadance. "You only have one sister. It would be a real shame if the two of you never spoke again. I'm here to ensure that you do. No stallion is worth the pain of being cut off from your family."

Celestia poured herself a cup of tea with a squeeze of lemon. "She tried to steal Cosmo from me. What kind of sister does that?"

"I'm not saying what she did was right. It wasn't. You were both wrong. It takes two parties to fight, and you both need to simmer down and apologize to each other. You can still share stallions if you can refrain from fighting. Does that sound fair? Both of you receiving a beneficial outcome?"

"Are you sure Luna will agree to this?" asked Celestia. "She's not exactly the most well-versed in the art of lovemaking. She may try to steal him away from me again."

"As long as nopony is hurt, you two can share dozens of stallions. Shining Armor and I each have a long string of lovers, but at the end of the day, no matter how many dicks we've taken, we always crawl into bed with each other, because our relationship is what really matters. Cocks will turn flaccid, vaginas will loosen, arseholes will lose their grip and breasts will sag, but as long as his heart beats, mine will find it. I love him. Do you love your sister?"

Celestia took a deep breath. "I do. But that doesn't mean she can take my stallion."

The stallion on the bed groaned as he flopped to the floor. As he slowly ambled over to the table, Cadance offered him a quart of orange juice, which he downed half of in a single draught. He wobbled into a chair and sat down, not quite ready to join the conversation yet, but Cadance was more than happy to wait.

"Glad you could join us. I look forward to hearing what your thoughts in all of this are, Cosmo."

"My name's Dip."

Cadance blinked a few times, then shook her head. "I thought you said Luna was trying to steal Cosmo from you?"

"She was," answered Celestia. "And Dip, too."

Cadance took a deep breath. There was a lot more to sort through here than she originally planned on. Releasing her breath, she clapped her front hooves together. "Let's start at the very beginning."
