Chapter Six

The light of the morning touched across the face of Sunset Shimmer. She was officially a graduate of the Academy, but since her betrothed was still a student she was given special permission to reside in the suite with all of her sister-wives. For her it was a collection of firsts. For one, she wasn’t completely new to the idea of sleeping with women. In truth, she had toyed with the idea of fooling around with another woman from time to time. Mostly because she was so uncertain when it came to men.

That wasn’t to say that she didn’t have men to choose from. As a member of the upper nobility she had plenty to choose from, but she seldom acted on it. She wasn’t sure why, at least at first, but after meeting Copper, and having him save her, the reason became clear. She wanted to spend her life with him. She slowly rose from her bed, and moved toward the window. Carefully she opened the drapes, and she looked out at the courtyard.

She was going to be a married woman, and hopefully sooner than later. The visitor that normally came every month had missed the last two. There was no denying at this point. She was pregnant. Not that it was a bad thing. She wanted children, and she wanted them to be Copper’s. This was a blessing, but it was one that she wanted to happen after they were married. As it was there was a very good chance that Artemis would be having her child far sooner. From what she knew of Demi-human races the tended to birth at the rate of the animal they were most like.

For Artemis that meant that she was going to likely give birth somewhere between the time of a rabbit and a human. From her understanding that should be at any point. She might actually be late, but then again it was something of an odd occurrence. The fact that it could happen so soon could be considered troubling. Then again it could be considered a reason for celebrating. The idea that there would already be a child here, among them, didn’t really bother her. If anything she believed that it would give her a chance to see what being a mother would be like.

“Being a mother,’ she said, mostly to herself, “Words I never really considered would be directed toward me. I just wasn’t that interested in most of the others. My own mother considered the fact that I might not be suited to be married, or even suited to become a mother. Father was convinced that I would merely grow into someone with a head for business. He left the idea of grandchildren up to my siblings.”

“I take it that the change isn’t horrible?” a soft voice asked from behind her, “Otherwise I believe you would be a little more distressed.”

She looked to see Monika walking near her. The other rabbit woman seemed to be in good spirits, but then again like herself Monika was likely with child. Plus, every single time they got to spend time with Copper meant that they would be in good spirits. If nothing else he had learned, quite enthusiastically, on how to please a woman. Their bodies were playgrounds that he experimented on. And of course the same was for his body. She had learned, quite well, on how to please him. There were little touches, sensitive areas, and of course more erogenous zones that practically made him putty in her hands.

When he would melt, she would feel enraptured with herself. How could she not? She had fulfilled a part of what it was she wanted to do. Still, she looked at her sister-wife and smiled, “I’m not upset by it, a little worried, but I believe that is normal for every woman that enters motherhood,” she replied her voice soft, “I suppose that the one thing that truly has me the most worried is the aspect of what comes next. I know that sounds peculiar, especially since we’re already engaged, but truly, what is the next part to all of this?”

Monika smiled as she neared her, “The next part is simple enough,” she replied as she neared the window and looked out at the early morning, “We become mothers, we become wives, and we raise our children together. We support our husband in every way we can, and we make sure that our children understand that they are of good stock. That not one of them should simply settle, but they should find their heart’s desire. Settling is what is done when you have no chance of getting your heart’s desire, and I believe that all of our children, all of his, has the ability to go out and get exactly what they want in life.”

Sunset nodded, “I do as well,” she replied as she looked at the courtyard, “Normally marriages are held after graduation, but I believe that it would be better if ours was held closer. Specifically, much closer,” she stated as she looked at Monika, “I mean no offense, but the idea that we give birth before the wedding would be off putting to many of our families. It could be considered scandalous. I don’t want to bring shame upon my father, or mother, so I would much rather go ahead and have our ceremony before what is tradition.”

Monika nodded, “I would rather become his wife sooner as well,” she said before she looked at Artemis, “Although, Artemis has designs on how to ensure that our husband does not have to have full commitment to the temple in order to enjoy the protection, and perks, of being a temple knight. From what I can tell it involves Head Priestess Luna. I am uncertain of how I feel about it, but I know enough about Artemis to know that she will not simply let this idea drop.”

Sunset looked toward the center of the bed. She saw Artemins, and she shook her head, “She really has ideas that can be dangerous, doesn’t she?” she asked as she looked at her, “Don’t get me wrong. If it works it would give Copper far more political power than he possesses right now. He would practically become a force to be reckoned with, but it would also alienate most of the other court nobles. It would ensure that all others were careful of upsetting or engaging him.”

She sighed, “And if it backfires it would end poorly for all of us. It doesn’t matter, not really, because I’ll stand by him no matter what, but I do feel bad for him, for the potential that it presents. I’m not sure on how I exactly feel about all of it though. Monika, what are you thoughts on bringing Head Priestess Luna into this?”

Monika sighed, “I want Copper to myself, and with all of you, as much as possible. Bringing in another means giving up more time,” she said as she looked at the courtyard, “But I want him to be successful and happy. Bringing in Head Priestess Luna could provide that. So, I am uncertain as to what I specifically think at the moment.”

Sunset nodded, “I understand,” she said as she looked back toward the window, “So, what do you say that we support the idea, but we do it cautiously. There’s no reason to bulldoze straight through, and there’s no reason to cause more havoc than is needed. We just take our time, and we ensure that everything works as planned. At the moment, that seems to be the best possible policy.,” she stated as she looked at Monika, “I mean, we should, in theory, be able to support our husband, and attempt to protect him at the same time.”

Monika nodded, “I take it that you have some experience with the proper idea of how to go about this potential courtship?”

Sunset shook her head, “I’m an Earl’s daughter. While that means that I’m high up in standing, I’m not the highest. The one that would have more experience would be Diamond Tiara, and I really think that we should talk to her about it. She’s going to know the proper protocol in how to go about this without causing too much havoc.”

Monika nodded, and then again she looked outside at the courtyard, “Our husband has asked if I want to attend the Academy as a student,” she said, her voice sounding nostalgic, “It’s interesting. I believe that it would be enjoyable to, but I also know that it is not accepted for me to do so. I fear that my going to the Academy as a student would cause problems for him.”

Sunset smiled, “Oh, there are nobles that would be upset. That is absolutely certain. Those same nobles would be determined to ensure that your time here was miserable. From my understanding Applebloom’s time here wasn’t good until she began being favored by Copper. Even then she was treated harshly. I believe that part of it is because she is a commoner. Still, I’ve not met anyone that I could consider a more noble soul,” she said with a smile, “She truly envelopes all of what true nobles should be. She is kind, quick to serve those both above and below, and quick to respond. She is someone that I know we can depend on.”

“Her time was still marred with bitterness at her simply being here. She was treated with disdain for just existing. The fact that she dared to show her face, to attend classes, to even remotely suggest that her life was worth as much as other nobles was enough to enrage some of the older houses,” Sunset explained, “If it wasn’t for Copper I’m sure that it would still be the same for her. Her being one of his fiancée's has enabled her to live a life that most other commoners would never dream of.”

She moved away from the window, and the thin nighty that she was wearing seemed to move slightly as she did. It opened, revealing the fact that she was wearing nothing under it to anyone that happened to look, “So,” she said as she looked back at Monika, “How should we go about finding out how things are going to progress with High Priestess Luna?” she asked as she looked at her, “I would suggest waking up Artemis, but we know that her answer will be to power through. Asking our husband to be is also likely a dead-end. For all of his fine qualities I’m certain that he doesn’t really want to gain another marriage partner.”

She studied her for a moment, “Then the answer is simple. We awaken Diamond Tiara, we ask how to proceed, and we ensure that it happens. It is the single best way of ensuring that everything happens in such a way that there should be no problem. In truth, I believe that it likely will be the only way that things would work the way they need to. Sometimes, the best way to ensure that all happens as is needed is to make it happen.”

With that the two of them looked about the room. Diamond was not to be seen. Sunset’s brow scrunched in a little bit. The evidence was there. She was with Copper. That meant that Diamond Tiara got to experience their husband to be all on her own. There was a very real part of Sunset that felt jealous. She felt like she should have gotten the chance, but then she understood that there was rules for a good reason. That the sharing they did came at everyone having a certain allotted time. It was a set up that ensured that no one was left out, and no one felt too alienated.

Still, she wanted her time to be here already. But, at least they would get the chance to wake up Diamond Tiara. It would be interesting to see how she slept when she was with Copper alone. The two of them moved from the main suite to the adjoining room. Once it was opened she saw the bed at the side of the room. There was two forms, and there was movement. It quickly became obvious what was going on. The two of them quietly shut the door, wanting to give the two some privacy before going back into the room with them. It would only be right to do so. The moment that the door closed, Monika stood there, “Now I wish that it was my turn,” she said, her voice sounding full of longing, “I mean, really, I would love for it to be my turn.”

Sunset nodded, “I get that,” she agreed, “And I wish that it was my turn as well, but at least she’s making up for the time that she was supposed to have with him before.”

There was a little shared giggle between the two of them, and they moved toward the closet. The day was coming, and there was still so much that they needed to do. One of the first things that was needed was to ensure that the day’s activities would be scheduled. That meant going to the various points on campus and ensuring that all they needed to be signed up for was signed up for. For Sunset it meant roaming around the campus, doing what she could to help, and ensuring that everyone else’s schedules were made. Being graduated meant that there would be more free time for her.

Normally it would mean more free time. There was also the books that she needed to look over for her father. Until she was married she would be helping her family. It was something of a matter of honor for her. Besides, as much as she loved her father there was no denying that he was not one that needed to do the books. He was fantastic at what he did, but keeping records were not part of it.

The normal dress would be the school’s uniform, but she decided to dress in a simple skirt suit. Something elegant and yet classy. Once she was dressed she looked at Monika who was wearing a strange looking school uniform. The stockings she was wearing were black, but they seemed to fit her personality. She studied her soon to be sister-wife, and the two of them walked out of the suite. Stepping out Sunset was hit with a wave of nostalgia. It wasn’t that long ago that she was a student. In truth, she had only really graduated, but still the idea of seeing the Academy without attending was novel.

She walked with Monika toward the main Admin building, and stepping inside she saw one of the coldest women that had ever worked there. After Queen Chrysalis was discovered, and what she had done was revealed, most of the students had believed that this woman had been one of the first drones, but that was incorrect. She had simply been the way she was. There was no need to remove her, or replace her, because she was already perfect for her role. Sunset gave a slight internal groan, but smiled pleasantly and walked toward the desk.

“Ms. Cinch,” she said, her voice sounding more polite and kind than she really felt, “It’s a pleasure to see you again. I was wanting to ensure that the schedules for Viscount Copper Plum Bit were in order.”

There was a moment of silence before the older woman really studied her, “Ms. Shimmer,’ she said, her voice icy as it hung in the air, “What an unexpected surprise to see you here. I must admit that I had believed that since you were engaged you would be remaining at home, attempting to have children, and concerning yourself with a normal, non-adventurous life. As I recall, that was your end goal, was it not? The fact that you would be someone that handled things at home, and lived off of the accomplishments of your ancestors?”

She bristled at the words, but she also knew not to be bated. Ms. Cinch was the kind who absolutely loved to prick at the insecurities of others. She wasn’t a bad looking woman, and to be honest she could possibly be striking, if it wasn’t for her attitude and striking wit. That caused her to be fairly off putting. To put it simply it was why she was not committed in a relationship. Still, she wanted to keep things polite, and she wanted to ensure that things were handled with a sense of decorum. She did not want to let Ms. Cinch simply get to her.

This was a match of wits. This was her standing her ground, and not backing down from someone that wanted to see her fail. In truth, she had no idea why Ms. Cinch was the way she was, but she wasn’t going to simply allow her to bowl her over either. She was going to handle whatever it was that she was going to throw out today, and she was going to do it with grace, dignity, and perfection. Something that would ensure that she was worthy of being a wife of Copper Plum. She watched as Ms. Cinch seemed to understand that the prodding wouldn’t get to her, “I see,” she said as she began to open the various books, “I suppose being engaged to someone that is going to be climb to the hights that Viscount Bit has already set into motion would enough to change the attitude of anyone, including you Ms. Shimmer,” she replied as she quickly jotted down a few things, “Here is the schedule for Viscount Bit’s other wives.”

She continued to work for a bit longer, “here is Viscount Bit’s schedule,” she said, before she took a little time and wrote down a single line on a spare schedule sheet, “and here is your schedule. Please, have a good rest of your day, and do take the chance to do a little adventuring. It would be good to see you develop a bit more of a backbone.”

She held her tongue, seeing Cinch fail to get her rise out of her was enough, and she turned. There was no need to engage at this point. Cinch knew that she had failed, she’d won by default, and that was all there was to it. Yet, Ms. Cinch didn’t look displeased. It was as if she was simply waiting for something. Understanding that whatever it was likely was on her own schedule she lifted it and looked at it.

Sunset Shimmer, Countess, is to prepare herself for all wifely duties that should befall her in the stead of her associated wives. This includes being the personal toy of her husband to be. Additionally, it would be of benefit for Ms. Shimmer to attempt to do a little adventuring so that she could better be suited as a wife to an accomplished individual.

She wanted to scream at her. It was the nicest way of saying it, but she was saying that she needed to go and be Copper’s whore. She couldn’t let Ms. Cinch win. She wouldn’t let her win. It wouldn’t be fair for her to get under her skin like this, and she wouldn’t allow it to happen. Instead she simply nodded, “Thank you for taking the time to create our schedules for us. I appreciate it.”

Seeing that she’d failed Ms. Cinch slightly rolled her eyes, and then she shook her head, “Very well, I am a very busy woman, and I do not have the time to deal with you. I suggest that you get along with your day. If you need more scheduling come see me, if not then be off with you,” she said before another hand touched the desk, “Excuse me,” Monika said, her voice sounding pleasant enough, “I wanted to remind you of a very simple fact. Our husband to be is going to be an Earl. While he is a Viscount now, he will be an Earl. Not to mention one of our soon to be sister-wives is the daughter of a Duke, and Sunset is also the daughter of an Earl. It is very obvious that in your attempt at being unkind that you have wandered into a variable hornet’s nest. I would strongly suggest that you apologize, now.”

Ms. Abacus Cinch actually had the moment of clarity to understand exactly what she had done. Her eyes widened at the realization, and she turned toward Sunset, “I…I want to apologize for my attempt at humor. I understand that it was truly out of place, and I swear that I meant no harm by it. Should you see to forgive me for my slight transgression, I promise that it shall never happen again.”

Sunset held her tongue for a moment, “It is forgiven, but not forgotten. Be warned, I will be observing you from this point forward.”

And with that she left, feeling far better about what had happened. The small victory was enough to enjoy the day. Yet, if only she knew the danger that was looming, and the danger that was going to be crashing down upon them soon.
