C77 Misunderstandings

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Day court was nearing its end and Celestia was currently milling over a request from a noble by the name of Renovating Land. He wanted to build a new set of holiday mansions on some land that Celestia had already had prepared for new homes to help with Canterlot’s ever expanding population.

The noble stallion was beyond miffed by the tiny cub that was wondering around aimlessly, poking and pulling on the emotionless guard ponies.

He thought about how disgraceful and disrespectful this cub was being in the presence of not only the princess of Equestria but himself.

The other nobles will hear about this little beast and that the princess is allowing them to roam freely in the castle.

Doesn’t her highness know that griffons are dangerous predators that at the very least need to be kept away from ponies.

“Unfortunately I can’t approve this request solely because that land is currently being used by the crown to build new homes for the city’s growing population sir Renovating.”

“Sigh* but your highness I beg of you, this request is most certainly important for the development and expansion of our city.”

“And how so?”

“B-because us nobles need to have the space to relax due to all the stress and hard work we do to keep this city afloat your highness.”

“Really? Unfortunately I don’t see the merit in this argument but I have made my decision and it’s final, the land will be used by the crown to construct new housing. You may take your leave now.”

He reluctantly conceited and went to leave but just as he was about to leave through the double doors a slight tugging on his tail made him spin around indignantly.

“Excuse me, you little predator. Let go of my tail.” Venom filled his words.

Eclipse immediately let go and stumbled over herself to make some distance from the stallion, Celestia and all her guards were ready to take action if needed but as the noble turned to leave.

Thud*

“How dare…. You…. Gulp*”

“I strongly recommend you leave now.” Anubis’s cold words sent shivers down everycreatures spines, Eclipse quickly scurried away toward the sun princess whilst the stallion before her dad was shaking from fear.

Then Anubis’s emotionless face adorned a sinister smile.

This was enough to send the noble over the edge and he fainted from terror.

“Mhmm what a shame, I guess he saw beyond the veil and got a glimpse of you Zodiacrdanals.” Nopony heard him but Eclipse who was hiding under the princess’s wing.

But what was even more terrifying was the looming shadow of death behind her father, this shadow disappeared as quickly as it manifested.

“P-Princess Celestia, d-daddy’s scary.”

Celestia was snapped out of her shocked state and immediately ordered her guards to take the noble to the medical wing of the castle before scooping Eclipse up in her hooves.

Anubis noticed the trembling cub and walked over to the throne, with one powerful flap of his wings he cleared the steps and landed in front of them.

“What is wrong Eclipse, that stuffy noble is gone now.”

“Yes but you scared the living daylights out of her Anubis, huff* you even gave me chills….”

“Oh, well my apologies but I only intended to scare that stallion.”

“Anubis, don’t try and justify that.” Celestia deadpanned. “Even I know you went overboard.”

“Excuse me, I was insuring that he knew that he messed up. Speaking of which, why is it that the noble cast and your ponies dislike griffons?”

“Like you need me to explain that….”

“Oh don’t give me that, this isn’t primal fear. What that noble experienced just a second ago was primal fear, the disgust and hatred they show isn’t natural.” Celestia flinched and shielded Eclipse from Anubis’s outburst.

“Look Anubis now isn’t the time and not all my ponies think like that, I agree with you that it’s wrong. That’s why I’m trying to improve relations with the griffon empire….”

“I’m Sorry for my out burst…. I’m just a little less tolerable to that treatment towards my daughter.”

“Anubis are you sure you’re okay? I’ve been worrying about you recently, you’re not acting like yourself at the moment.”

“Sigh* I…. I honestly don’t know but I promise I’ll be fine. Me and Zodiac are currently trying to solve it, so don’t worry you’re pretty head about it. Soon I’ll be normal….”

Both Celestia and Eclipse gave him a concerned look which Anubis noticed, he spoke in a playful tone. “And what’s with the funny look you little menace?”

“When you say normal, you mean back to yourself right?”

Anubis just laughed and took Eclipse from Celestia’s hooves but the little cub was trying her best to hold onto Celestia.

“Nooooo~ I want to stay with princess Celestia!”

“Princess Celestia?”

“Yeah! You’re scary!” This earned the little cub a set of unprofessional giggles from Celestia and her guards.

“Ouch my feelings, Swan neck say something.”

“Sorry but this is your own doing.”

“Sigh* fine you can stay with Celestia but behave for her. See ya Swan neck and thanks for looking after her.” But as Anubis jumped down the stairs he landed and preformed a deep cat like stretch that made most of the guards either look away or drop their spears.

Unfortunately Eclipse caught a glimpse but swiftly looked away, when she saw Celestia, she was shocked. The regal Alicorn princess wore a goofy smile and rose tinted cheeks as she shamelessly gazed at her dad’s undercarriage.

“Gasp* Bad princess, that’s my daddy huff* no looking.” She tried to swipe at her with her claws but Celestia just kept looking and what she muttered next shocked the cub.

“He’s definitely a daddy.” All whilst biting her lower lip.

Eclipse was mortified by her words, she may have died young but she understood what the princess was implying. After all she had watched some adult videos in her past life before unfortunately passing, thanks to unbridled curiosity and the internet.

Once Anubis left the throne room, the solar princess looked at the horrified expression on Eclipse’s face. “Oh my, did I say that out loud? I’m terribly sorry sweetheart.”

“Eep! Um~ b-but he is my mommy’s husband, you can’t have him P-Princess….”

“Heheheheh~ aww, so protective. You’ll grow up to be a fine hen but I’m sure your mother is willing to share.”

“No. That’s wrong, daddy would never cheat…. I hope….” The cub’s saddened look made Celestia concerned.

“What’s wrong sweetheart.”

“Please sniffle* please don’t make my parents split up. Sniffle*”

“Oh no no no I’m not going to get between them dear…. It’s complicated but I’ll explain later little one, now come and follow me.”

“How? Sniffle* and why should mummy have to share?”

This was getting hard for Celestia to explain without straight up saying it how it is, she was trying not to break the image that Eclipse had of her parents but Anubis wasn’t exclusively Silverfeather’s.

“Unfortunately there is an unbalance, for every one stallion. There’s 4 to 5 mares and it’s a stallion’s duty to join a herd, you understand.”

Eclipse just stared at the regal mare in front of her. “But daddy’s a griffon?”

“Yes…. but…. If your dad wants to he can settle down with multiple mares or hens.”

“But that’s just wrong!” Celestia stopped in her tracks and looked behind her.

Eclipse covered up her beak, eyes wide in shock at her own words. “You may think so but that’s how it is.”

“S-sorry for shouting p-princess.”

“Awwww don’t be.” Celestia swept up the upset cub in her hooves and rocked her back and forth. “Calm down, I think you’re just hungry.”

“No….” Her stomach growled and she turned red from embarrassment.

“Heheheheh~ I think that’s a yes.”

“Huff*”

Celestia placed her onto her back and they made there way to the castle kitchens, once there the pure white Alicorn sat Eclipse on a stall and got to work on cooking up some fried fish and hash browns.

She had watched her Anubis make it dozens of times but this was the first she was making it herself.

“Princess Celestia? Is Daddy loyal to mummy?”

“Of course he is, why would you ask that?”

“Then why did he stretch like that in front of you?”

Clang*

She dropped her tongs and slowly began.

“Well…. Um…. You see, your dad either doesn’t realise he’s doing it or he’s just putting on a show….”

“Oh…. A show?”

“Now it’s my turn to ask a question, how old are you?”

“Eep* um I don’t know….”

“Sigh* another thing I have to ask your father, look I don’t know how smart you are but if you’re anything like your dad. Then you’ll grow up fast, too fast in my opinion.”

“How?”

“You have to thank your dad for that.”

“Oh…. So um what are you cooking? It smells nice.” That answer didn’t clear anything up for the little cub but she chose to put it in the back of her mind.

“Oh you’ll see in a second sweetie.”

As Celestia was dishing up the food Eclipse was pondering about how her dad behaved so flirtatious towards the princess.

After the meal Eclipse tried to wonder off but Celestia picked her up with magic, this made her kick and squirm in a fruitless attempt to escape.

“And where do you think your going?”

“To find daddy….”

“I guess we can go find him, come on.”

“I can walk on my own!”

“Oh sorry, here.” Celestia put her down.

A few days have gone by and eclipse has been spending every minute of them trying to determine if her dad was a greedy and lustful male griffon.

But so far she had came to the conclusion of the mares in Equestria are far too forward for her liking, maids and even guards mares were doing something called flagging with their tails.

Although he didn’t react to them, he definitely appreciated the display if his eyes were any indication.

She was starting to believe that it was only a false assumption but that was until she spotted Celestia wrap a wing around him and a noticeable blush appear on his cheeks as she nipped at his neck.

Her plate sized eyes getting even wider. “Oh my god.”

She followed them, hiding behind pillar and guards as the princess guided her dad to her private sleeping quarters.

This was as far as she got, the two went in and closed the doors behind them so she glared at the guards mares that were fussing over her.

“Let me see my daddy!” But her squawky voice only made their smiles bigger as they spoke to her in baby voices.

“Oh but you can’t interrupt them, if Princess Celestia is lucky.” Eclipse yelled out cutting off the mare and grabbing the attention of her dad.

“DADDY!!!”

Few seconds later a dishevelled and sweaty Anubis stepped out from her highness’s room to the disappointment of Celestia.

He immediately picked his daughter up and cradled her in his forelegs, the guards mares were impressed with his response time but suddenly became aware of a hardened rod throbbing between his hind legs.

Both of them gulped at the sight of him but he showed no reaction primarily due to him comforting Eclipse, who was now wondering why the two mares were profusely blushing.

She looked at her dad and took a sniff, she quickly regretted doing that and covered her beak.

“Sorry sweetheart, you picked a tricky time to call me….”

“What was the princess doing with you daddy?” Eclipse was trying to right herself in his forelegs but Anubis kept her in his firm hold.

“No~ don’t look down there silly, anyway me and Celestia were just making love.”

The horror on her face made Anubis snicker but she was mortified by his un-ashamed answer.

“Sex? With the princess?” This wiped Anubis’s smile off his beak and Eclipse covered her beak now just realising the mistake she made.

“And how do you know what that is? You are far too young to know that.”

“Um how old am I?”

“…”

“Dad?”

“Sigh it’s COMPLICATED!!!” His yelp made her flinch but when she opened her eyes, her dad had one of the guards mares by the scruff of her neck.

Eclipse was confused on what happened but upon seeing the matted fur around the mare’s mouth and a thick white strand of liquid coming from her muzzle.

She had an unpleasant picture painted for her and was disgusted.

“Are you serious? And with my daughter in my claws?” His displeasure evident in his tone, Celestia trotted out to see what was happening.

“Anubis what’s wrong, why are you taking so long?”

“Sorry dear but I think you have a guard that needs to go back to Basic.”

“And why’s that?”

“Ask her yourself. I’ll be waiting inside for you with Eclipse, sorry to disappoint you but we’ll have to postpone…. Again.”

“Huff* you didn’t even get to put it in yet….” Celestia’s glare made the guards shrink before her as she questioned them on what they did.

Eclipse let out a sigh of relief upon hearing the princess’s complaining.

After getting scolded by her dad once he had a cold shower, all three of them walked to the dining hall for dinner.

The tiny hen was walking under her dad and shooting glares at anycreature that so much as glanced at him.

Celestia was walking even closer to him now, on high alert thanks to the little stunt her guard tried to pull but she kept huffing and puffing in frustration.

This was because of that little cock block hiding under her mate, she loved Eclipse but this song and dance had been going on for 3 days now…. And when she thought she finally had him to herself, she appears and calls for him.

Eclipse was now on high alert with these ponies, she had to protect her dad’s loyalty but every time she told her mum, she just giggled and patted her head. ‘Don’t worry mum, I’ll defend dad from them. All of these animals.’

Her glare fell upon her highness who she had gone from admiring the her, to hating how shameless she flirted with her daddy.

‘Pervert princess, get your own husband. He’s my mummy’s.’

Once they entered a dissatisfied princess took her seat and Anubis placed Eclipse next to her mother who was striking up conversation with the upset Alicorn.

“Soooooo?”

“We barely got started….”

“What happened?”

“We were interrupted by…. Well you know who.”

“Sigh* again? Eclipse Feather Grimgost.”

“Gulp* cough* cough* m- mummy?”

“What have I told you about pestering your father?”

“But I had to! They were about to….”

“About to what?”

“Commit adultery!”

“Sigh* okay I’m done playing this game, Anubis tell her now.”

“Tell her what?”

“You, me and Celestia.”

“Oh…. Okay, so Eclipse you understand that me and your mum love each other.”

“Yes?”

“Well me and Celestia also love each other.”

“But you can’t love them both!”

“Sigh* but I do and they love each other too, it’s called a herd.”

“I know what a herd is dad, princess Celestia already told me.”

“She did?”

“Yep.”

“So who told you what sex is?” The table fell silent as Celestia and Silver looked away from the griff.

“Um well i over heard some of the maids chatting about what they would do to have sex with you…. And they then went into detail about what they would let you do to them….”

Anubis dragged his claw down his beak in a tiered fashion. “Grrrrrrrrrrah, you’re ponies are to obsessed with that stuff Celestia…. No it’s not just your ponies, all females on this bloody rock.”

This choice of words made Eclipse’s ears perk up, she felt like his response was a product of cultural frustration. The same frustration as her own.

“I’d hate to meet a dragoness.”

“I beg your pardon? You are not bringing a dragoness into this herd.”

“I’m with Celestia here, I’ve never met one but they can be extremely territorial and demanding not to mention, that they don’t do sharing….”

“Exactly.”

“Oh I’m sure I can leash one and get them trained up.”

“Don’t you dare try.”

“Heheheheh, okay okay I won’t.” His teasing tone didn’t put his two mates worry’s at ease but they just hoped he’d listen to their warning.

“Daddy stop being naughty!”

“Me? You young lady are in no spot to say I’m being naughty, I think you owe Celestia an apology.”

“Gulp* b-but why?”

“You know why.”

“I’m not sure what you mean daddy?”

“Grrrrrrr!”

“Eep!” The nervous cub hid behind her mother but her mum didn’t protect her from her father’s wrath, instead she pick her up and dropped her on the table in front of a displeased Anubis.

‘Curse you mum! You traitor, where’s that motherly protection?’

With a hollow smile Silver spoke. “Sorry sweetheart but I’m not getting on your dad’s bad side for you….”

‘What’s that meant to mean?’ Tuning to look at her dad’s emotionless face, she began to shake.

Anubis immediately changed his expression and shot her a fatherly smirk which broke the shaking.

“Listen Eclipse, since you already understand what sex is I’m going to paint it in black and white. Celestia and you mother haven’t be getting the attention they deserve and this is because you’ve constantly at my side, so I’m going to have Celestia assign you some guards and maids.”

“Wha?!?! No please daddy! I’ll be good, I promise!”

“No. You’re not being bad by any means but I haven’t been able to attend college, do my research or love your mums. That’s another point as well, stop calling her Celestia princess, from now on it’s mum.”

“Sniffle* b-but sob*”

“But what?”

“I don’t want maids or guards! Waaaaaaaaaaaah!”

“Sigh* I’m sorry but this is something you’re just going have to live with, especially since you’re royally.”

“Sob* w-wha?”

“You are a princess my little girl.”

“But I don’t want to have maids, I don’t even know them!”

“Oh shush now, come on let eat and I’ll put you to bed. How does that sound?”

The tear stained cub just weakly nodded, she did feel bad for her mum and Celestia but at the same time Anubis was her dad, it was only fair she got all his attention.

She wasn’t really to call the solar princess mum yet, if she wanted that title then she’ll have to earn it. Another thing that annoyed her to no end, was this infant’s body had zero control over her emotions.

“Hehehehe~ it’s funny you should say that Anubis, you are a prince by right of marriage. So~ I think you need some guards of your own.”

Eclipse look at Princess Celestia’s cheeky grin as she shot her a wink.

“And why would I need guards? I can protect myself thank you.”

“Oh I know but I think you need guards to protect you from the mares of Equestria.”

“Caught* choke* what?”

“Did I stutter?”

“No but come on, you can’t be serious?”

“Honey I have to agree with Celestia here.”

“You two are joking right?”

They both said no simultaneously, eliciting a cute giggle from Eclipse at her dad’s dismay.

“Don’t laugh at me…. You’re meant to be on my side?”

Now with her happy demeanour back she cheerfully chirped “Nope!”

“Okay we’ll speak more about this once she’s asleep.”

His two mates let out a chorus of laughter and they all cheerfully ate dinner, to Silver’s and Celestia’s horror both Anubis and his daughter consumed an ungodly amount of food.

“And I thought I ate a lot….” Celestia wined.

“Am I the only one that has to watch her figure?”

“Yep.”

“You’re not meant to answer that!”

“Hiccup* sorry…. But if it makes you feel better, I still love you.”

Celestia and Eclipse looked at him with a knowing sense of dread for the griff.

“Excuse me!!”

“What?!” He looked at them all with a confused look plastered on his face.

“Huff* so I’m getting fat?”

“Hey now! I wouldn’t use the word fat but you are getting…. Fluffy? Curvier?”

“Sigh* Celestia, I’m going to be joining your guards for training from now on…. Speaking of which, I don’t see you train with them anymore?”

“Because they can’t keep up so I do it at night, you know because I don’t actually need to sleep or train that hard, thanks to my magic. But it’s good to see what my body’s capable of.”

“Mmmm I know what it’s capable of….”

Anubis covered Eclipse’s ears and shot Celestia a glare. “There is a child here mare, control yourself.”

“What? She already knows what sex is.”

“Shush mare!”

“Hurry up and make me….”

“Okay Anubis.” Silver began in a hushed tone. “So what is her age both physically and mentally?”

Eclipse tilted her head in an adorable fashion but heard nothing, this was due to Anubis removing her hearing.

“Can she?”

“No, so relax…. And to answer your question, physically she’s 2 to 3 but mentally…. I don’t know but if I had to guess, about 11 to 14 years of age.”

“Of course…. You couldn’t just give her the mental age of her actual age….” Disappointment evident in her features.

“Well…. She’s technically a few thousand years old but she was a mummified corpse for nearly all of them.”

“Sigh* okay but why does she have to be far too smart for her own good?”

“I want her to have the best possible chance at life thank you. But I have to ask, how many times have you been down to the castle infirmary this day?”

“Eep! Um that doesn’t matter but do you see why I don’t want you to use your magic on me to help with the development of our foal.”

“Cough* cub Cough* Cough* And I don’t, so how many times?”

“Gulp* three….”

“And?”

“Nothing yet….”

“By the gods Celestia, look just relax. You’re normally a patient mare?”

“I’m just excited to be a mother, do you have any idea how much I’ve wanted this? I’ve seen so many ponies throughout the ages start a family, whilst I’ve just had to sit and watch!”

Anubis hung his head. “No I don’t know…. It must have been hard for you…. But I guess your wish is coming true.” A pained smile appearing on his beak, this went unnoticed by his two mates.

He just hope their luck was good because the odds were against them and Celestia had no idea.

“Well now that’s out the way, you can restore her hearing.”

“Oh right, so Silver how have you and Celestia been getting along without me?”

“Huff* we miss you but of course you have responsibilities now, although can’t you just duplicate yourself with your magic?”

“Nope, she’ll know the difference and I know you will too so I’d rather avoid that…. Anyway can I get some more food please.”

“Yay! Seconds please!”

“I agree little one, hey Celestia are you craving anything abnormal?” A cheeky smile adorning his beak.

“Huff* don’t be silly….” She said this whilst eating a chicken sandwich, at this point her fangs were far more pronounced now.

Eclipse just watched in disbelief as Celestia happily munched on the food.

“Wha? Daddy she’s eating ticken.”

“Awwwwwww~ ticken, that’s adorable.”

“Heheheheheh~ ticken isn’t abnormal for me now little one, I’ve been eating this for a few months thanks to him.”

“You are just the cutest little thing…. But in other news I’ve finished the new and improved version of my jet.” Eclipse just looked at her dad in surprise at the human word he just used.

Celestia scrunched up her muzzle and repeated the words, it wasn’t hard to say but she still didn’t know how Anubis came up with such a word.

“Jet?”

“Yes~ jet, because it’s faster than airships and uses a magic-tech jet turbine to ignite the air in its combustion chamber and generate propulsion.”

Eclipse noticed her dad’s tail was wagging excitedly and she began giggling, then her mum and Celestia joined in as they watched him.

‘Yep he’s actually on about jet jets, like human jets!’

“Anubis look…. I love you but I have no idea what you just said, so please put it in simple terms for us.”

“Silver, It uses a different method of moving.”

“Okay thank you that’s better….”

Then Celestia butted in. “So what altitude is this one capable of?”

“It theoretically is capable of flying on the edge of space but no higher or the engines cut out because of a lack of air.”

“WHAT!?!?”

everycreature in the castle heard her highness’s voice as she used the Royal Canterlot voice, the ones most affected by her were Silver, Anubis and poor little Eclipse.

“Please make the ringing stop Anubis!!”

“HUH!?”

“WHAT?!”

“It hurts daddy!!”

It took a few seconds for Anubis’s ear drums to heal but once they did, he immediately got to helping his future wife and daughter whilst shooting Celestia a displeasured glare.

“sorry everypony, i mean everycreature….”

“It’s fine Celestia but by the bluemoon that hurt! What was that reaction for?”

“I’m with Silverfeather here, you literally made us deaf with that yell.” As mad as he was, Anubis was still trying to settle down the shaken cub.

Eclipse’s feathers were all up and uneven now whilst her fur stood on edge as if she was anticipating another one.

“Sigh* Anubis how do you come up with this stuff? I mean how does your mind work, it’s a little worrying….”

“But that still doesn’t explain why you yelled?”

“I’ll tell you another time Anubis but space? It’s not exactly the most hospitable environment….”

“Well no but I guess it’s time to put this sleepy cub to bed now.”

All attention was now on Eclipse who was dozing off in Anubis Claws, she was trying her hardest to stay awake but failing adorably.

In the end she lost her great battle against sleep and curled up into a ball that fit in just one of her dad’s claws.

“And…. She’s…. Gone…. Awwww~ even if she’s been the main reason as to why I’m not getting any love lately, it’s hard to stay mad…. So Anubis, will you be joining us tonight?” A hopeful smile adorning her muzzle.

“Maybe…. I have a few things to finish up that I was doing before you pulled me into your bedroom.”

“Huff* but we didn’t even get to do anything.”

“As much as I love seeing you in dad mode, I’m with Celestia here. We’re both starting to feel neglected.”

“Heheheheh~ okay okay but if she wakes up and comes looking, then we’ll have to call it a night.”

“Sigh* I guess it’s better than nothing…. So!”

Both Anubis and Celestia glared at the excited hen, simultaneously telling her to shut up.

“Sorry….”

“I don’t know what’s more odd, that he doesn’t want to take every opportunity to get it on or that he’s actually no longer teasing you Silver.”

“Mmmmm yeah, he has been acting odd now that you mentioned it. Nubie? Are you feeling alright?”

“Ummm yes? I’ve been fine….”

“Maybe he’s lost his drive? Let’s spice things up tonight Celestia, how about we mess with some of your biomancy?”

His glare shut the hen’s beak as he slowly and calmly stated one word.

“No.”

“Oh ehm okay…. Sorry for asking but how about something else, like Celestia’s magic. You know to help you let loose a little?”

“Maybe, I’ll think about it. But right now I have to take this little monster to bed.”

As he left both Celestia and Silver watched his well sculpted flanks leave with a hungry look on their faces.

“Do…. Do you think he’s getting bored?”

“What? No…. He has both of us! How could he be getting bored?”

“I think we should treat him to a real good time Silver…. And maybe let him…. You know get his drive back.”

“How?”

“Doesn’t Glacier like him? I’ve caught her checking him out more than once, it’s just her self esteem that needs work…. Or even anycreature that catches his eye?”

“Wha?! What no, we agreed to share him but that was just us! Nocreature else, I-i…. Sigh*” Silver’s words died in her beak.

“I know but…. Maybe it could be the little spark to ignite that fire of passion we need.”

“Argh! I don’t agree with you, I can see the point you make…. So first creature we see, we’ll invite to lay with our herd tonight.”

“Wait what?”

Silverfeather laughed at the disbelief on Celestia’s muzzle, the alabaster Alicorn frown in dissatisfaction but as she was about to speak.

Click*

A sorter than average mare trotted in and bowed before speaking.

“Princess Celestia, princess Silverfeather. I’m here to take your orders for dessert.”

The maid before them shifted uncomfortably as both princesses were now grinning at her. This made her pin her tufted ears to the back of her head and let out a quiet eep.
