The Mayor Of Canterlot

With a barrage of flashes, Mark finishes his press conference at the entrance of the castle with neutrality as the press writes furiously about what he has to say about the claims of him being responsible for the death of Silver Tongue. Wearing his finest suit and a black wristband on his left arm to show mourning.

By now the human was mentally exhausted after spending the majority of almost 3 hours dismissing all sorts of theories that went from understandable to downright ridiculous, starting with the idea of him hiring a hit man, using a teleportation spell, learning magic to use the said spell, killing him before departing to claim an alibi, and doing his best not to laugh from some of the most outrageous theories, like he has some "human type of magic" that allows him to control the brain and make him kill himself, or manipulate the earth so giants hands finish the job or have like a doom countdown where the victims die days after he touches it. Overall, the whole press conference was going just like he had expected but that didn't mean it was still draining.

"...in conclusion, while it is true that Silver and I didn't speak on the best of terms, his passing took me by surprise and saddest me to no end, at the same time. He was a pony that went stray from his path and committed crimes that harm many but in his final days, I at least am happy to know he was on his way to redemption. He sure would be miss" He sigh in exhaustion

"Mayor Mark, Mayor Mark! What can you tell us about your new living arrangements?"

"I believe there is little I can say that I haven't already say, my staying is temporally both from a lack of home and to cooperate with the authorities, during the investigation"

"Is it true that you plan for this so you will be forced to stay in the castle during heat week?"

"Are you aiming to gratify the entire female guard's corps by yourself?"

"Is it true you have a lock of hair of the princesses to sniff every night!?"

"What do you have to say about the claims of you having two penises? The ponies have the right to know!"

"No more questions!" A Zebra female guard yells before she and a pegasus royal guard with green lime fur escort the human back to the palace as the press keep yelling questions until they close the door on them.

Once out of that chaos, Mark went into a nearby chair and sigh in exhaustion "Well! That took a turn for the weird" He exclaims to his guards who nod in agreement.

"If you ask me, it got weird the moment that reporter ask if you could turn walls into insect zombies" The zebra guard mentions making all 3 laughs.

"Yeah, I swear at that moment I was wondering if he was asking me that or quoting some bizarre horror movie plot" He sigh and look down in sorrow "And I fear this is just the beginning, by tomorrow morning the street of Canterlot would be filled to the brim with all sort of wacky rumors and arguments of me planning or not all this mess"

"Don't worry sir, that is the thing about gossip, is transitional, the moment a new and more enticing topic arrives, the citizen will forget all about this whole mess, in like a month or two in the worst-case scenario." The pegasus guard tells trying to console him "Plus I'm sure once we capture the real criminals and clear the air things would be able to go back to normal"

"Thank you, madam" He nods and looks at them "Both of you actually, as a matter of fact. I have been rude to you ever since you were assigned to me. I haven't even asked you your names yet"

"That is ok sir, issuing a statement can sure take away the time of anyone." The Zebra dismiss him with a chuckle "My name is Uru"

"And I'm Alba" The pegasus replied "We will be your personal bodyguards for the unforeseen future"

"Yeah I manage to gather as much, hope we can get along then, Ms. Alba and Ms. Uru"

"You have nothing to worry about sir, we are professional and this is certainly not the first time we have guarded an important figure" Uru reassured him, and with things having calmed down enough the human was able to notice his new escort more closely.

Saying that Uru was in shape was an understatement with how moderate bulky her figure was, which told anyone who look at her how easy she could rip anyone apart like they were made of paper and various scars that show how she wasn't new to fights. Yet her cyan eyes and calm smile gave her an almost caring air to her, which turn into alluring with how her standard golden armor was barely holding together her big chest giving anyone a mental image of the massive orbs hidden behind, not helped by the black lock of hair poking out of her helmet hiding her right eye giving her a mysterious air to it.

Alba, on the other hand, was more on the petite side with a slim body that compliment well with her armor, her long dark green fur and tail and while not as big as Uru a certainly big chest judging by the bulk in her chest. Ironically enough, despite her looks and clean body, it was Alba who looks the more intimidating of the two with almost seductive half-close violet eyes, small makeup on her face, and how she occasionally kept her hand near her dagger at all times. Like she was waiting for anyone to give her a reason to use it.

"I certainty tell. Looking at you, I feel much better having you on my side"

"Thank you, sir, and please outside the public eye, you can drop the honorifics, no reason to be so formal all the time" Uru suggests and he immediately agrees

"Right, and you can do the same, no need to calm me sir all the time if you want to. Something tells me, the 3 of us will have time to get to know each other for the time being, especially with how my agenda is pretty much open for the time being"

Mark wasn't sure but for a second there he thought seeing Alba's wings stand up briefly before shaking her head and nodding.

"Couldn't have to say it better myself" Uru then goes and hug his arm catching him by surprise "And since that is the case, it might be wise if you could know the layout of the castle. For the security, of course, knowing what routes to take in case of an emergency where you would need to escape and what not."

"Ah...sure, as I say, I have nothing at the moment, so I could go for a little tour of the castle." Mark agrees still unsure of Uru's actions but seeing how Alba didn't flinch at her, he thought it wasn't that big deal.

Ponies tend to be more friendly and prone to more physical shows of affection after all. This must be normal for them.

He concluded internally as they began their tour, Uru refusing to let go of his arm keeping a firm yet not painful grip on it while Alba on the other hand resorted to flying ahead to scout the area, resulting in him having to turn away in more than one occasion when she leans against a corner and pokes her head making her armor skirt to lift slightly and showing the mayor how she only has her modest and slightly frilly white panties with a pink heart on the back underneath all that metal.

"So Uru, what made you change from a sailor into a royal guard?"

That catches her by surprise and they both stop to look at him "How did you know I was in the navy before?" Uru asks in surprise as Mark merely points at a tattoo of a griffin holding an anchor with some letters around it.

"Officium, Honor, Fortitudo. That roughly translates to Duty, Honor, and Bravery, which are the motto of a decorated officer, and the symbol is clearly from the navy, is it not?"

She looks at her tattoo before looking at him with a raised eyebrow "It is, but how do you know about navy symbols?"

He simply shrugs and shakes his head "Comes with the territory I suppose. I mean there is the Day Of The Fallen, Veterans Day, and Golden Spear Week to name a few. As a mayor, I must make a speech honoring all the brave males and females serving the country for all of those celebrations plus introduce or/and hand medals to the occasional pony been honored for something. Asking for tips and suggestions an officer told me to make sure to address all of them by the correct terminology like marine, soldier, sailors, and so on."

"Impressive" Alba nods with a finger under her chin "Can you guess where I served before, Mark?"

"I'm gonna a say...Airman"

"Why? Because I have wings?" She asks with a raised eyebrow and starts to get angry but he calls her bluff and crosses his arms once Uru finally lets him go.

"No, because the two strike cuts on your left ear" He rebottle and she stops in surprise as he smirks "They told me the story, it really small and easy to miss but in honor of Commander Hurricane who got a scar saving Equestria all members on the Airforce give themselves a very small scar on the same place. Nice work, by the way, I barely notice it"

"Well, well, well, smart AND good for details. Not bad Mark" Alba smirk and get closer "makes me wonder if you would catch the meaning of my tattoo"

"What tattoo?" He raised an eyebrow in confusion until Uru stop her advances.

"Ignore her! It doesn't have anything to do with the force" She laughs nervously before clearing her throat and glaring at Alba "We are in the open for cry out loud! Wait a little, would you?" She harshly whisper turning them both around, confusing the mayor even more but before he could ask what was happening Uru interrupt again.

"Anyway, let's resume" She turns around and show around the palace "As you may know, the castle is fully equipped with a series of secret passage spread across the building depending on the situation"

"Yeah, I was informed of secret tunnels to get in or out the building in case of an invasion. But most of them were filled up recently to stop enemies like Chrysalis from entering."

They nod in agreement "That is true, various passages now lead to dead ends because of that" Alba explains before leaning against the door "But some of them are still pretty much in used, for easy escapes into established panic rooms, case in point" She goes to a statue of a mare that Mark briefly confused by the aquaria constellation on how it despite a woman pouring water from a vase into a small pound, she grabs one of her arms and pull them upwards and over the shoulder of say mare revealing a fake wall next to her leading into a dark corridor with some glowing mushrooms acting as a source of light. "After you sir" She performs a short yet exaggerated bow.

"Already? Wouldn't you like to show me more secret passages before?" He asks exchanging between the two.

"What is the rush?" Uru gets behind him and lightly starts pushing him forward "Don't you want to see the place? Come on, you are gonna love that panic room, in particular, the way the princess order their construction made the place look more like a gaming room, it even has a pool table. We could go for a game if you like"

Ah, I see now! This two want to help me relax forget all the insanity going on outside...and/or wish to laze around for a bit while protecting. Well, as much as I would like to be doing some work, I gain nothing by being stressed, plus Drusy always told me not to be such a workaholic, I suppose I could use a little bit of fun

Understanding their intention he decided to take their offer and enter the place followed by Uru and then Alba who close the door, the human failed to realize how both of them were licking their lips.

Despite the light of the mushrooms, the walk throws the passage was fairly dark and moist, making the human feel like he was very close to a river. "Kind of moist in here don't you think? Does this passage get near the waterfall atop of the mountain?"

"Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't" Alba reply with a smirk and a shrug before giggling "But don't think too much about it Sir, trust me. Soon you would understand why the place is like that, and will just LOVE the view"

Mark keep looking at both strange by that answer but decided to comply and play along for the moment. Soon a faint sound catch his ear and as they went deeper and deeper he start to hear water running, which seems to be coming from one side of the walls.

Said sound kept increasing until finally, they stop when the walls of rock ended and were replaced by blue tiles making it look like they were entering the inside of a pool, and also had a series of small rectangular holes on the left side of it, which also seems to be where the sound of water was coming from.

Confused he stares at the holes and could almost hear some giggles among the running water, turning to his guides. The two guards only have a fit of giggles of their own, wiggle their eyebrows, and silently invite him to take a peek.

Now more than intrigue, Mark does just that, finding a transparent glass in the whole giving him a view of deep steam fog.

Squinting his eyes he managed to see a figure inside the fog who seems to be the source of the chuckling, once his eyes adjust they immediately wide when the steam clears out and from the other side he saw a mare with pink fur and long green mane cover in soap and barely concealing her modest breast by two locks of hair as she takes a shower, not only that but from his position, he could see other mares entering or leaving what was clearing a mares shower.

"What the...?" He was about to pull away when he heard a piece of metal fall behind him followed by a bulky body pressing against his own pinning him against the wall. On his back he could feel two big hard points poking at him, letting him know that Uru was currently topless.

"Quite the view isn't it?" Alba come from the side and whispered into his ear, as Mark could only turn his head slightly at her in surprise and slight fear from her mischievous smirk. "Not even many know of this little secret we royal guards have"

"The hell is this! Alba this is a clear violation of those poor mares' privacy, these holes need to be covered up in..." He was stopped when she suddenly planted a long soft kiss on his mouth and tongue wrest him a little, before letting go with a wet pop.

"I loved it when you try to ignore your excitement. It's cute how you are thinking about their concern, but you see there is one tinsy problem with that claimed sir" She emphasized her point by poking his nose.

"The female royal guards put the holes there in the first place" Uru respond starting to nuzzle the top of his head with her chin. "And all those mares are clearly aware someone might be watching"

"What?!" He tries to look at her but Alba keeps his head still and slowly makes him look back at the shower and to his surprise he saw how some of the mares were winking or even licking their lips while playing with themselves, looking directly at him

"Build by a particular pervert general with a voyeur fetish, from before Princess Luna return. She used to come here and give a personal peep show to anyone that wanted. Don't worry they can't see you, the mystery of someone may or may not be watching is what makes it hotter." She plants another kiss on his cheeks as Uru starts to explore his chest. "The royal guards are more than aware of its existence"

"Kind of like a casual secret of ours, but don't feel pressured, and please feel free to tell everyone about it" Uru adds with a chuckle.

"Uru, Alba what is gotten into you? Why are you...the heat! It came early for you two!" Mark yells now realizing what was happening as they both laugh and start to work on his pants.

They share a laugh, not interested in denying the claim.

"You say it like is a bad thing, don't go around and claiming to have the high ground now mister," Uru tells him as Alba gets on her knees and in front of his crouch before helping Uru pull down his pants. "You are the one that has been going around with the musk of 3 mares on you"

Mark suddenly remember the warning Drusilla told him and how he totally forgot to bathe in tomato juice.

SHHIIT!

"Alba and I were handling our heat just fine, but that scent" She takes a whiff of his hair and sighs in euphoria before removing his shirt "The musk of a virile stallion satisfying no, one, no two, but 3 mares? Well, a mare can resist only so much."

He could feel Alba shiver as she press her nose against his crotch "I have been dying to give this bad boy a good long kiss ever since I took a whiff of you"

He tries to struggle but Uru makes it clear how that was a pointless endeavor "Ah, you still want to play hard to get sir? Don't worry we will gladly help you relax" She touches a nearby mushroom causing the entire room to go dark. "There, all better"

"Aw but this way he can't see my tattoo, oh well this is also kinky" Alba chuckled and start to tease his legs "Don't you agree, sir? It's almost like a little game, just enjoy the show, and let me and Uru take good care of you"

"Just a warning, once you go stripes there is no going back" She jokes as they both laugh a little until something catches their attention. A new source of light suddenly appeared in between the two mares.

"Where did that mushroom come from?" Alba asks perplexed and goes to reach it, only to find out it was way longer than a mushroom

Oh no, Mark's eyes wide in horror.

"Wait a minute, sir are those glowing tattoos forming in your arm?" Uru, ask in surprise, as the human suddenly has a micro flashback as he talks with a humanoid albino cobra with a very elegant multicolor dress.

...until you learn how to control them fully, be careful with your hexes, if anyone where to see even one of them fully formed before that time...well the power they hold inside may go out of control and could potentially cost the life of whoever had the misfortune of catching a glimpse of them...

"No!" In a panic Mark ducks and escape the two covering his glowing arm with his blazer.

Startle and confused the mares try to find him only to fall unconscious by a high-speed and precise poke at their forehead that presses a nervous point.

Finding another mushroom Mark manages to light the room again and pant leaning on a wall as his bodyguard rest peacefully in front of him.
Looking at his arm again he see the markings faded once more making him sigh in relief.

That was close, a little more and things could have gotten extremely ugly He look at the guards once again and close his eyes Now I need to deal with you two He takes a moment to admire Uru's breast seeing them as hard as the rest of her muscle with small areolas that were almost hypnotic with the rest of her stripes.

Not bad, no! Focus! Think! Think!

After coming with something he brings the two into the infirmary and using a rug put some alcohol in himself as the mares come too.

"Hmm, what happens?" Uru is the first to wake up followed by her friend as they hold their heads

"Oh good you two are awake" Mark sighed in relief and approach the two

"Sir?"
}
"Don't worry, no one knows what happens at the passage" He whispered, I found a stallion guard when I drag you both out and he helps me bring you two here"

"The passage!" Their eyes wide "What just happened back there? Sir, We are so sorry I would never do something like this unless my heat is too strong and..." Uru stop "My heat, is gone. Sir did we...?"

"Not exactly" He mentions taking a step back "When you were about to do that, I accidentally hit Alba in the back of the head when I trust my hip, we lost balance, and stumbling in the dark you hit something too Uru. Don't worry the doctor said everything is fine just small laps from the shock. The scare must clear your heads a bit. I'm so sorry by the way Alba"

"Don't, we kind of deserve it" She dismisses his concern "I suppose you would like other guards now, right?"

"Why? We just got to know each other" He blinked in confusion.

"Sir we assault it you"

"Eh I blame the heat mostly, you literally were blinded by your urges, and I kind of caused the mess in the first place by forgetting that I still have the musk of mares in me. If I understand correctly I was virtually inviting you to make a move"

"So, you still want us to protect you?"

"Sure, just... let's skip the secret doors for a while ok?"

They look another before nodding "Ok and don't worry we will be more alert on our heat from now on"

"Thanks because even though I'm part of the release corps and I more or less agree to help the female guards, I'm not sure if I'm ready to climb mount Uru or fly Alba airlines" He jokes to lighten the mood which seems to do the trick as they all share a laugh.
