The Third and forgotten ruler of Equestria

Ten years have passed

I was sitting in my room. It was small in size, but with all the necessary things: a wardrobe, a wardrobe, a bed, bedside tables, and the table at which I was sitting now. I don’t share the room entirely with anyone, and I’ve been living in it for five years. I was placed in it when I was five years old in this world. In front of me was a book about artifacts.

A lot of time has passed since I was born in this beautiful place. I even got younger sisters. In a past life I had them too, and in that world I really wanted to be an older brother. But now in this world I can fulfill my dream and become a big brother to my younger sisters. They are so cute, I have to admit.

Now I’ll tell you about my first younger sister - her name is Celestia, this is the name our mother gave her. She was born on a beautiful sunny day, a ray of light entered the room in which she was born, it enveloped her and illuminated her white fur, her beautiful pink hair, and also her beautiful pink eyes, like mine and my mother. And this sign meant that she would be great in the future. At least that's what the whole castle said all day.

There is one ancient legend that if a snow-white baby is born in one royal family under a ray of sunlight, then in the future she will become great. But what is great is never said. I don’t believe in this, it’s just that this legend was written a very long time ago by one ancient magician, he wrote a lot more there, but what else I don’t know yet, I didn’t take it in history class. Oh yes, I almost forgot to say that Celestia is already five years old, she is very active and inquisitive.

Now I will tell you about my youngest sister - Luna, or as I like to call her Lulu. She is as beautiful as the night, her beautiful blue mane, her beautiful blue eyes like our father’s, her light blue fur. She was born, oddly enough, at night, under the full moon. Then our parents did not have time to come up with a name for her because of the responsibilities that had fallen on them lately.

And then, when I saw her for the first time, I noticed that the light of the moon was falling on her, so then, without thinking, I said “Moon” out loud. And so it happened that I came up with a name for her. Yes, it didn’t work out as usual, but I even like it. Luna turned out to be a little calmer than Celestia at her age; it’s even surprising that I turned out to be the only son in the family.

This upset my father a little. He probably wanted another son. I don’t know why, but it just so happened that he now had two more daughters. Of course, this fact did not upset him much, because as for me, it doesn’t matter whether you had a daughter or a son, you will still love him no matter what. Well, at least that's what I think.

I’ll also tell you, I found out that in this world, all the ponies in this world don’t have tattoos on their backs, as I initially thought, but cutie marks. They kind of determine your talent, as I learned, and children in this world get them most often before the age of fifteen. I haven’t found my talent in this world yet, although maybe it’s just a hobby. I'm somehow fascinated by the different artifacts in this world.

Here in the book about artifacts, a lot of interesting things are written about them, for example, one artifact can control the weather! Damn the weather! This means that this one is listed in the “dangerous” section. Well, there are also “safe” artifacts, “less dangerous”, and “ultra dangerous”. If such artifacts fall into the wrong hands, then disaster will follow. And in this world these were not ordinary things. In the games of my world, they were, one might say, useless, they slightly added some buffs to the character, but here the artifacts are downright useful!

By the way, I was able to study a little of the magic of this world. I learned the spell of telekinesis, small fire (you can use it to light candles), and finally the spell...

I was brought out of my thoughts and thoughts by a knock on the door. I turned to her and asked:

"Who's there?"

"It's me, brother!" Celestia said happily outside the door. I got up from the table, walked over to it and opened it.

Celestia stood in front of me. I was taller than her by about fifty centimeters, so I lowered my head so that I could look into her eyes.

"Sister? Did you run away from the nanny again?" I asked tenderly.

"Well... she began to move her hoof along the floor," oh, she ran away, I’m bored, brother.

"Tia, if you’re bored, then this is not a reason to run away from the nanny. What is this already, the tenth time?"

"The eleventh…" she answered sadly.

I just rolled my eyes and, using telekinesis, quickly carried her into my room, looked around the corridor, then went back in and closed the door. She was slightly surprised by this, and I turned to her.

"Celie, this is the last time I’ll help you hide in my room, next time I’ll tell your nanny where you are... I didn’t have time to finish when she immediately hugged me."

"Thank you, thank you Luci!" she shouted joyfully and hugged him even tighter.

"Tia, you’re going to choke me like that." I said.

"Oh," I realized that I overdid it with the hugs, and stopped hugging. "sorry…"

"Nothing, you didn’t do it on purpose." I smiled at her and stroked her head.

She smiled at me, and at that moment someone knocked on my door again.

"Celie, hide under the bed." I told her very quietly, and she nodded her head, crawling under it.

I calmly walked to the door and opened it. Standing in front of me was Celestia's nanny, her name was Linda Young, but everyone just called her Linda. It was clear from her appearance that she was a little angry and worried.

"Prince Lucius," she began, "have you seen your sister Celestia?"

I shook my head. "No, I didn’t see it, but why did she run away from you again?"

"Oh, she can’t sit still," she sighed. "You prince were calmer than she was."

"Well, she’s definitely not here, I would have noticed if she had snuck into my room." I lied. Damn, I don’t really like to lie, but for my sister’s sake I have to.

"Okay, prince, if you still see her, then let me know."

"Yes, of course, I will definitely tell you."

She nodded her head and began to leave, and I closed the door and sighed with relief.

"Come out sister, she's gone."

"Is it true?" she asked looking out from under the bed.

"Really, why should I deceive you?"

"Hooray!" she shouted joyfully.

"But don’t forget, I’m helping you for the last time, because you need to study, dear sister." I told her with a serious look.

"I don’t understand how you aren’t bored listening to these lectures on history, magic, and all this in general."

"Because I’m really interested in listening to them, sister, when you grow up, you’ll understand how important it is."

"Oh, I don’t need to know that, you’ll still rule, just like you were the first born, brother." she said offendedly and turned away.

"Oh, Celie, understand, we will all grow up and rule Equestria together,” I walked up to her and turned her head towards me, “look at me, do you see me so smart, and that I can rule the whole of Equestria alone?” After all, even our parents rule together, and they are also helped by assistants, because they have a lot of work."

She started looking at me and thought for a while, then she sighed.

"Maybe you’re right, brother, you can’t handle this kind of work alone..."

"So, do you promise that you will study and not drive around?"

"I promise, brother!" and showed the oath gesture that we came up with.

"Well, that's good." I gave her a «boop».

"Hey, that's not fair!" she pouted, but I just laughed a little.

"Haha, okay, so what are we going to play?"

"Hmm, let's play chess! You promised to teach me how to play them!""

"Yes, yes, I remember that I promised, and I will keep it." I smiled at her.

I went to the closet, opened it and took out a chess set, and Celestia sat down on the carpet where we often played different games. Then I walked up to her, arranged all the pieces correctly, and then sat down in front of her.

"Well, let's start with the rules of the game..."

After three hours of chess training

"Well, damn it," Celestia was a little upset, "I thought that at least now I’d win you!"

"Well, don’t be so upset, in the future you can beat me." I reassured her.

"Eh, maybe..." she said sadly.

I looked out the window and saw that the sun was already setting "Oops, this is bad."

"A? Is there something wrong?"

"How wrong it is! The sun is already setting! And that means dinner is coming soon! And you're in my room now!" I said nervously. This is very bad! Servants always come for us and take us to our dining room, and if someone is not in their room, they will punish us. Yes, there is such an unusual rule.

"Horror! How come we didn’t keep track of time!" she said nervously.

And then there was a knock on my door. Well, that's it, let's play! Now my father will punish us for this. We sat down, I was about to forgive you for distracting me, and we were playing. Of course, I wasn’t against it, BUT this incident changed everything. I stood up, walked to the door, then opened it and in front of me stood the guard who always accompanied me.

"Prince Lucius, I came to..." but then he noticed Celestia awkwardly waving her hoof. He raised one eyebrow and started looking at me.

"Eh, I know, so lead us." I sighed and answered as calmly as I could.

He nodded his head, Celestia walked up to me and we left the room together and the guard led us to the dining room. We walked for a while in silence; Cely looked like she was very worried, because she might get the blame for running away from the nanny and running away from the lesson. And I might get punished for hiding her in my place. Yes, I hope that the punishment will not be very severe.

And after some time we were there, two guards stood near the entrance, and outside the doors I heard the voice of Father and nanny Celestia. That means he already knows that she ran away. I turned my head towards Cely, she already understood everything, and taking a deep breath, I opened the door. And when I opened it, I immediately saw Father sitting at the table, and Linda standing next to him. When Celestia, I, and the guard went inside, the doors immediately closed behind us.

When this happened, Father and Linda immediately looked in our direction. From their silent gaze I understood that they were not happy, and it was understandable why. I turned my head towards Celestia and she was shaking all over, damn she’s too nervous right now.

"Well ," Father began, "I’m waiting for an explanation, Celestia, why did you run away from class?"

"I...I..." I tried to say something. Oh my goodness, I can't do this!

"I asked her, Father." I came forward and stood up for her.

Everyone looked at me in surprise, except the guard, he didn’t care.

"For what?" Father continued.

"I was a little bored alone, and I asked her to come to me so we could play." answered clearly and clearly.

"It's clear." he said and sighed. "So that this is the last time!"

"Yes, of course, dad. " I answered.

He nodded his head.

"Linda, you can go."

"Yes, king." she bowed and walked towards the exit, then when she passed us, that guard followed her. And when they left the dining room and closed the doors, the Father began.

"Sit down, children." he said in a gentle voice. Celie and I nodded and sat down at the table.

"Thank you..." she thanked me very quietly.

"Dad," I began and looked at him, "where’s Mom?"

"She won’t have dinner with us today," he sighed sadly, "she’s been watching the Moon all day and is very tired."

"It's clear." I answered. Well, yes, because a small child needs to be monitored very closely.

"Celestia, he turned to her," you understand that if this happens again, "I will have to punish you severely. You understood?

"Yes, Father..." she answered sadly.

"Well, well, don’t be sad, daughter, just understand that you will all have to rule with us later, and these lessons are important to you."

"I understand, dad..."

"Celie, be more cheerful, you’re not punished." I reassured her.

"She is not, but you are." he said.

"I know, and what is my punishment?"

"You will learn royal etiquette all week, and nothing else."

Oh, come on! For what! Although I don’t mind teaching him, but not for the whole week! Damn, I wanted to study at least a small part of the knowledge about artifacts this week! Well Father, this is too much...
