The Princess' Orders are Absolute
The Sun golden light shinned high above Canterlot, the kingdom slowly waking up for the new day. As the last bastion of the Moon's silvery glow faded from the regal buildings, the street slowly came alive with the waking citizens. The milk mare went to deliver her milk, the mail pony traveled with her mail, and the night life loving batponies went to sleep. It was another lovely day in the lovely capitol of the lovely kingdom of Equestria. Even the royal palace seemed to gleam with a marvelous splendor, the morning staff were quick to work, the guards rotated their shifts and patrols, and all was seem to be the beginning of a good day. Well, not all was good, as two unicorn servants, a mare and stallion, trotted their way towards a set of chambers. Though they have been doing this for a few years now, and yet every morning was going to be the same as before, they hoped.
"So, you believe her highness will be easy to awaken?" The stallion asked, not looking at the mare. His tone was smug, but not overly arrogant as he continued. "Lord Spike can be a hassle, but the worst I've dealt with was his burning snores, as well as the cleanup duties."
"Well aren't we so blessed." The mare returned her associate's tone with her own snide comments. "It is an honor to be the first one Princess Twilight greets in the morning and the last one she bids a good night to. Being selected as one of her personal maids is everything I could've asked for."
The two of them continued this back and forth, as they have for as long as they had been in the same employment. Though they held nothing too bitter or hostile against each other, it was more akin to a professional rivalry. The stallion, Tealeaf, kept much of his composure, being as calm and soothing in tone as his namesake, though any who worked with him long enough could filter out when he was being facetious. While the mare, Glittergem, was a little quickly to huffing in frustration, but did her absolute best to not let it affect her professionalism. This conversation, comparing the various experiences they've had with their respected responsibilities could've gone on for possibly another hour, until they reached the two large doors.
"Well, looks like I have a dragon to rouse." Tealeaf smugly stated, staring at the door. The wooden entrance depicting not only iconography of large dragons, but a armored figure fighting off such creatures with a smaller pony behind him. "Good luck with the Princess."
"And you with the Lord." Glittergem commented, preparing herself for what was to come. The door leading to Twilight's chambers was far more elaborate, detailing the Sun, Moon, and Stars all in mathematically calculated unison. A feat that took many, many craftsponies hours to accomplish. "As always, try not to be singed too terribly." Her companion could only chuckle, the two of them igniting their horns as they carefully opened the two doors.
Entering Twilight's chambers, Glittergem used her magic to slowly set the room up. Illuminating the magical candles and lanterns, as well as to draw the curtains. With the shining of the morning light, the larger alicorn, Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Equestria. Though to the public, she was a regal paragon of all that was good and modest in the kingdom. But in the morning, she was an absolute mess. Mess mane, body laying about with her blanket half covered, particular in her lower regions. There were days where she slept somewhat with dignity, but other days, she looked like she stayed up all night reading and didn't care what she looked like. Glittergem was one of the few who ever saw the Princess in such a fashion. But that wasn't what was really made the mare a little nervous, it was the smell.
Estrus hit every mare differently, some harder than others, but apparently alicorns especially had it the worse. While a mare could mast her aroused scents with the right perfumes, diet, or spells, almost nothing could fully block the overwhelming musk that emanated from the Princess. Glittergem had to use some of her magic just to filter out the smell as best as she could, but she always left the chambers feeling really horny. Twilight's bed was soaked in the juices that dripped endlessly from her swollen, winking pussy. The mare maid swallowed hard as she did her best to avert her gaze. It was improper to stare at such a thing, and yet she could not look away.
"Ahem, Princess? Princess Twilight?" Glittergem called to the alicorn, her magic carefully gripping at Twilight's blanket to cover her. "It's time to arise."
"Mmm...five more minutes." Twilight groaned, trying to roll over. "I was up all night you know."
"I am aware Princess." Glittergem commented, rolling her eyes a little. Twilight could be a regal figure, but in private, she was just as much a pony as anyone else. "But you have a lot to do today, or may I get Miss Raven in here?"
"Alright, I'm up, I'm up!" Twilight exclaimed, her body nearly flying out of bed at the name. Raven Inkwell, the former aide to Princess Celestia, was now the aide to the new monarch. But she was just as no-nonsense as she was with the previous ruler. "I remember the last time she woke me up. A bucket of water is not how anypony should be woken up."
"At least it wasn't ice like the time before that." Glittergem mentioned, recalling the sight of seeing Twilight scream and flail about when Raven dumped water to get her out of bed. "So, as you are now awake, we should proceed with preparing you for the day."
"Ugh, very well." Twilight grumbled, slowly making her way over to the large mirror table across her chambers. "Let's get this over with."
"Of course Princess." Glittergem commented, her magic getting to work. Lifting brushes, combs, and other beauty products, she tended to Twilight's mane and body. "Now, while Raven will prepare your schedule for the day, I made sure to put in a request with the chef to prepare your special breakfast."
"Oh? Thank you Glittergem, I definitely needed that." Twilight commented, moving her head as the mare tended to her mane. "I was close to figuring it out you know. That stupid formula, I've almost cracked it."
"That potion right?" Glittergem asked, speaking as she focused on preparing Twilight. "If I recall, this potion was to help you with a complication, as you phrased it?"
"Yes, well...you see..." Twilight blushed as she tried to explain herself. Happy she was close to solving this concern, but it seemed to be a sensitive topic. "Glittergem, you take good care of me, I can trust you right?"
"Of course Princess." Glittergem commented, no hesitation in her voice as she spoke. "I have tended to your for a while now, and I have seen you in quite a few...positions while you rest. So you can tell me anything."
"Oh, well...I hope you didn't see anything too embarrassing." Twilight commented with a nervous laugh, blushing as she continued. "Anyways, I wanted to ask you about something."
"What is it?" Glittergem asked, somewhat nervous exactly what Twilight was going to ask. Especially since she could take a few guesses as to what the Princess was referring to. "If it's too personal, I won't pry any further."
"No, no, it's not that." Twilight blushed, steadying her nerves as she continued. "It's just...lately, I've been feeling...well..." Swallowing hard, she let it out in a short and quick blurt of words. "I'm in heat!"
"Well...I'm sorry but it was kind of obvious Princess." Glittergem replied, barely hesitating with her words. "But there's nothing wrong with that. I was in heat not long ago myself. These things are normal."
"For normal mares maybe." Twilight sighed, her mood becoming much more dour. "For normal mares, you can go and either find a partner, or you might already have one. But for me, well...it's a little awkward."
"Princess Twilight, you are one of the most beautiful mares I've ever met." Glittergem commented, nearly finishing with the alicorn's mane as she spoke. "There isn't a stallion alive who wouldn't want to be with you."
"Oh, no, no, it's not that." Twilight stuttered, rephrasing her words. "I'm fully aware what many of the stallion staff think of me. Princess Luna has told me on more than one occasion what she had seen in their dreams." Blushing a little, she cleared her throat. "It's not that I don't believe anyone would want me, but how do I approach them?"
"Well, have you considered any alternatives?" Glittergem suggested, finishing up the mane, how her magic slowly drying it into place. "You could anonymously go to the many Relief Centers in disguise."
"No, I couldn't do that either." Twilight sighed, looking up at down Glittergem and then back at herself. "There's a bit of a size difference between myself and other mares in town. So nopony is going to believe another seven foot tall mare is in heat while Princess Twilight is suddenly nowhere to be seen." Giggling a little, her blush grew as a thought came to her. "Besides, Princess Celestia has already told me what happens when you try that. She said it went...awkward very fast."
"I-I-I was unaware Princess Celestia even attempted that." Glittergem said, her mind thinking about what such an experience would've been like to see Celestia herself at a Relief Center. "That would explain that Sunbutt Scandal several years ago, and while rumor had it that she brought back the Harem Law for royalty."
"Oh, no, no, she didn't bring back the Harem Law." Twilight added in, her more knowledgeable side showing. "It was never removed, simply no longer enforced at Nightmare Moon's banishment."
"So you're telling me, Princess Celestia, had a harem of her own?" Glittergem gasped, more amazed than shocked. "I'm sorry Princess, but that seems a little hard to believe. Given how many times she has been seen in public, there would be little time for her to have such a...relief."
"Well, turns out many of those times, it wasn't her." Twilight explained, giving another sigh as she recalled certain parts of this past. "While trying to teach me royal duties, which at the time, I thought it was the Princess delegating her responsibilities to me, I would act in her stead while she was...preoccupied."
"You mean there were times when it was you in disguise while she went off to have some orgy?!" Glittergem gasped a little, not out of any sort of disgust, but more so out of surprise. "I'm sorry, but it's just very hard to...well you know...think about."
"I know. I was pretty shocked when I first found out." Twilight explained, trying not to blush too much as she spoke. "As far as I know, Celestia had roughly a dozen in her harem, Luna's was a mix of mare and stallion, and Cadance…well I don't know all the details, because Shining Armor would always change the subject."
"I believe I'm beginning to see the point Princess." Glittergem commented, trying to stop thinking about the previous monarchs displaying themselves in such a manner. "But if the others have done it, then maybe you can begin one yourself?"
"Oh I couldn't do that!" Twilight gasped, before clearing her throat to settle down and gather her thoughts. "It's...it's just I would have no idea who to ask, or how I'd even bring it up in conversation."
"Perhaps Miss Raven can help?" Glittergem suggested, just finishing up Twilight's mane. "I'm sure she can help get volunteers and be discreet about it."
"Well...Raven is good a being discreet...when she chooses to be." Twilight commented, letting out another sigh before looking herself over. "It's something to consider. In any event, I will have to think this over." Turning her head from side to side, she marveled at the work Glittergem did. "Glittergem, you're such a wonder. You'd give Rarity a run for her bits."
"I wouldn't presume I can match her." Glittergem nodded, smiling at the compliment. "Lady Rarity was very insistent when she set what mane styles to use for not only each day of the week, but for holidays and other special occasions."
"Of course she did." Twilight giggled, knowing all too well her friend would've come up with such a process. "Well, if I have to greet the day, I might as well look like a Princess." Getting up from her seat, she made her way towards the door. "Thank you Glittergem, I'll have plenty to think about during the meeting today."
