Luna's adviser

Chapter 4

Luna rubbed her temples as she sat at a desk. It hadn't even been a total of fifteen minutes yet and already her head was pounding from the sheer amount of stress she had. She let the papers fall back onto the desk as she leaned back with a sigh, failing to understand what each individual thing on them meant.

'Things have changed...' she thought, as she glanced back down at the papers, looking them over once again. At the very top they read 'Application for Employment' in large bold letters. She understood that part, along with the part regarding the individual's name, address and other contact information, but as she moved further down on the application, she only found that her headache was growing worse. It eventually reached the point where she just slid her hoof right across the desk, forcing the papers onto the ground as she just simply hit her head on the desk with a groan.

Luna raised her head at the moment the door swung open. The pony that stood in the doorway appeared as a great relief to the mare, as she met him with a small smile. Not only was she looking for an excuse to not do her work at this particular moment, but she also found herself being lost in the stallion that placed the mushroom omelet and the glass of water on the desk.

Whether it was the smell of the omelet or the stallion's very attractive features, she didn't know. Either way though, her mouth was watering from it. Luna's heart rate jumped as she was met with both the pleasant aroma and the pleasant sight of that certain very attractive stallion, Emerald. What was it about this stallion that got her blood flowing? She had no idea, but she loved it either way. Not only that, but it was also the first time in a long time that a stallion had even got her feeling like this. Usually it was mares that did this trick.

'I haven't seen such a fine stallion in a long time...' she thought, as she felt her body temperature slowly beginning to rise. 'Damn it Luna! Keep yourself under control! Its unbecoming of a princess to get aroused in company! Even if that company is very attractive...' As these thoughts crossed her mind, Emerald just gazed at her with a blissfully unaware smile.

“How's work?” he asked, as the mare licked her lips.

“I-its...going great!” Luna lied, which earned a bit of a glare from Emerald. “I-I just chose my court advisor!” Immediately, her horn lit up and the nearest paper levitated right in front of her. “One Flash Sentry!” It was evident just by the look on her face that she was lying out her teeth. Not only that, but even though it had only been a week since his arrival he already learned quite a bit about the Solar Guard. Namely the pony she had just named off.

“Are you sure about that?” Emerald asked, “I hear from Shining Armor that he's...not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. He's strong, but...apparently he's a little arrogant.”

“And?” Luna asked, “I don't mind if I have to...'break him in' as they say!” Emerald shook his head slowly, before sighing very softly.

“Here, Princess, allow me,” he said, “Fill your stomach first, I'll handle this.” Emerald's horn lit up again and several of the papers levitated up to him, including the one with Flash Sentry's name on it.

“Glad to see omelets haven't changed too much at least!” she exclaimed as she bit down on it. However, it came as a shock to her at the sheer amount of flavor she was met with. The flavor was absolutely exquisite to her tastebuds. She could not only taste the sweet flavor of the cheese, but she could even taste all the spices that the chef had put into it. It had so much flavor that she couldn't help but groan in pleasure. “I...stand corrected...” Emerald chuckled at Luna's response, glancing at her as she gobbled down the omelet as if her life depended on it.

It was a good couple of minutes after Luna had finished up her omelet before she once again turned her attention back to the stallion as he continued to flip through each and every application. Once he set them down however, it was another story. As his expression grew very serious rather abruptly.

“Alright, Princess,” Emerald started, before he was met with a hoof to his lips.

“Please...just call me Luna,” she cooed, almost seductively, “I trust you...”

“Alright, Luna,” he continued, clearing his throat, “You see, for a court adviser, you want to select somepony who has a bit more worldly experience. In this case, its not just about their employment experience but about how much of the world they've seen.” he explained, “Least compared to what it was a thousand years ago.”

“That, I am aware of,” Luna said, “But...how do I know the right pony for the job? I need somepony who can help us restore the night to its former glory!” This caused Emerald to take a seat before her, while tapping his chin in thought. “And it would also have to be somepony with connections throughout Equestria! Somepony who knows what he or she is doing!”

“Well...I do know a few ponies...” the stallion muttered, Luna's ear twitched and a glint appeared in the mare's eye the moment she heard him utter these words. “...and a number of them owe me favors...so if I send a few letters...” It was then a lightbulb went off in the mare's mind and a grin spread across her face. A very devious grin, one that hadn't been seen in Equestria for a thousand years. It even terrified Emerald to see such a grin, as he was left wondering exactly what was running through her mind.

“Wait!” she snapped, “I think I know the perfect candidate for my court advisor....AND my Captain of the Guard.” This caught Emerald off guard when he heard it, how was it possible she found two ponies so quickly? He couldn't exactly figure out exactly who she could be talking about, but as she walked around her desk and placed her hoof on his shoulder with a smile, it became clear.

“Emerald Crescent, can you handle the responsibilities of being my captain as well as my court adviser?” Even if he had seen it coming, it wouldn't have stopped his jaw from hitting the floor. He was absolutely dumbfounded at the question, so much so, that he just sat there quietly as it registered in his mind.

“B-but...I..h-how...w-why...?” Emerald stammered, finding himself unable to even form a coherent question. Yet, Luna was seemingly able to understand what exactly he was trying to ask.

“It was one of the things I haven't stopped thinking about since you first showed up!” Luna said, “I wasn't sure at first...so I requested Shining Armor dig up some information on you.” she paused a moment, looking the stallion straight in the eyes. “What I found was nothing short of interesting. While your real talent, as pointed out by your cutie mark is writing romance novels...you are one very interesting stallion. Not only are you strong, but you've traveled the world...and your family is even part of the loyalists. I thought they had vanished many years ago, even my sister had lost track of your family! At least, until you surfaced.”

“W-well...my brothers and I...we went underground after our mother vanished,” Emerald pointed out, “The only family member I actually kept in contact with was my eldest brother, Silver Crescent.” This peaked Luna's curiosity very quickly. She had heard the name a few times since her return and it seemed to even be a name that got on Shining Armor's nerves particularly. It only made her smile.

“Where is this brother of yours?” she asked, her curiosity now getting the better of her. “And what's he like?” This question seemed to annoy Emerald very deeply as his ears lowered again. However unlike the last time, this time his face was one of frustration and annoyance.

“Silver...is....difficult...” he muttered, “He...flirts with nearly every mare he sees! I can't even get him to hold a serious conversation half the time! He's a pervert!” Luna broke out into a fit of laughter with how Emerald had stated it. It came onto her very quickly and filled the office. It went on for at least a good five minutes as tears began to fall from her eyes.

“HAHA—You-Hehe--mean he's THAT kind of pony?” she was finally able to ask as her laughter died down and she wiped the tears from her eyes.

“Yes...and that's not even the most annoying part...” Emerald whispered, his voice filling with shame and disappointment. “He's also...an Alicorn...” Luna's wings shot out and her eyes grew very wide the very instant she heard the final word.

'A-an...alicorn?' she asked herself, 'There...are still other alicorns?' Luna seemed to drift off into a brief daze. Thankfully it didn't last long though as Emerald quickly snapped her from it.

“And...as for his location...I sent him to Ponyville for some information,” Emerald added, “While he does work for Princess Celestia as a spy...he's also my best informant. Even if he is a letch.”

Luna's eyes narrowed at the mentioning of Ponyville, however she didn't really speak a word. Instead, she only turned her head toward a window in the room, one that allowed her a great view of a fair amount of the land itself. While normally she'd look just to enjoy the view, this time was a bit different. It was almost as if upon the mentioning of Ponyville, she had felt something. This made Emerald fairly suspicious as to what she was thinking, especially with the serious look on her face.

“Luna?” the stallion voiced, placing his hoof on her shoulder. The response was instant as her cheeks lit up very bright, even her gradually darkening coat couldn't hide the redness now on her cheeks. This caused her gaze to return to the stallion, meeting his with a small smile. “About...your offer too...”

“What do you say?” she asked, taking ahold of the hoof he had placed on her shoulder. While this didn't make him uncomfortable, he couldn't help but blush a bit as he moved a bit closer to the princess.

“I accept,” he finally said after a couple minutes of silent gazing. “I'd love nothing more than to serve you.”

'In what ways?' she asked herself with a soft giggle. “Glad to know...but...you should really watch how you phrase something...” The mare's voice slowly became a bit more seductive at this point, teasing almost as she gazed deep into his eyes. “Because...right now, I'd love nothing more...than to be serviced by you.” It took Emerald just a couple of seconds to figure out what she meant, especially with her hoof now underneath his chin and the other slowly moving down his cheek. He wanted to resist immediately, but his body simply wouldn't listen to him and no matter how hard he tried, he found it increasingly difficult to actually even want to pull himself away.

Luna didn't waste a single second of this time. She simply brought her lips together with his and this contact sent a shiver up her spine. It was a rather pleasant shiver too, one that would make her moan very softly in her own throat as he began to kiss back. He didn't put up a bit of a fight, instead he seemed to encourage her a bit as his hooves began to move up around her shoulders. She felt it, and only let it deepen the kiss the two were now sharing. The two could feel it now, the heat radiating off each other's bodies. It was intense already as she began to push against Emerald.

As she did, he felt himself back right up against the desk and very carefully he even let himself be pushed onto it. This was already starting to get to him very quickly. Not only was there heat, but there was also lust radiating from the mare and he rather enjoyed the feeling it gave him, especially as he felt himself beginning to grow a bit more uncomfortable with her on top of him.

Luna too could feel something. Not only had her desires begun to surface again, but she was actually getting a desired response from him. Between their bodies, she could feel his member beginning to show itself. It was only when he had reached his full length did she actually feel his size. It was impressive to her, only working to further her desires.

Luna broke the kiss for a moment, taking the time to actually look him in his eyes. In that moment, she saw something that made her heart leap. In his eyes she took note of not only his lust, but also the strange touch of affection he had for her. This was a look she didn't receive very often, but she knew right there that he actually cared for her. Which made it all the more meaningful when she brought his lips back to her again.

At this point she seemed to lose all care in the world as his hooves caressed her body. It was the type of attention she had missed very dearly over the past thousand years. She loved absolutely every second of it. She could feel her heart racing, she could feel herself growing more and more aroused with each gentle, caressing touch.

The longer it continued, the more aroused both ponies grew. It even became apparent of Luna's own arousal by a very powerful scent that was slowly filling the room. She could even feel a bit of dampness in her loins. At the same time she even felt a bit of dampness on her stomach. She knew what this meant without even thinking about it. It wasn't very long before she broke the kiss again with a grin on her face.

“Emerald...” she cooed, moving her hoof down his cheek. “I...need an important favor from you...” she began, “I'm sure you can guess what that favor is...” the stallion didn't need words to know what she needed. She had made it fairly clear over the past week exactly what she wanted. That she wanted more than just him in her court. She wanted him for another reason. He just hoped he could actually help with the situation. Luna slowly climbed from the desk and off of him. The first thing she saw made her smile. To say the least she was rather pleased with it.

“My...someone's ready to please their princess,” She cooed playfully, watching as he followed. The next couple of minutes felt like an eternity as she lifted her tail a tiny bit. This caused him to scramble immediately and mount her. Just as he was positioning himself however, the door to her office swung open and they were met with both Shining Armor and her sister.

“Umm....” Shining Armor stammered, his entire face now glowing a bright red.

“Don't you ever knock!” Luna roared in her Canterlot voice.

Celestia on the other hand moved her hoof over Shining Armor's face as quickly as she could, along with turning her head away from the two. It was too late however, both Emerald and Luna had been completely embarrassed, as evident by the looks on their faces. It was a good couple of minutes before they were able to make themselves as decent as possible, Emerald having to take refuge behind Luna's desk, while she stomped up to her older sister. By that time, Shining Armor had already quietly trotted from the room in his own embarrassment.

“Now...Tia, why are you here?” she asked, with a bit of frustration in her voice.

“Shining and I came to see if you had selected your court adviser yet,” the alabaster mare calmly replied, even given the present circumstances. “But apparently...you were dealing with 'other' matters instead...”

“Haha! Dear sister, that is where you are wrong!” she cheered, a grin now on her face. “Emerald and I were merely attempting to...'celebrate' the selection of my captain and adviser.” Celestia's ears perked, almost as if she had misheard her sister.

“You...already chose both a captain and adviser for your court and the Lunar Guard?” she asked, perplexed and a little curious.

“Do you think I would honestly do something like that without good reason?” she asked, giggling. “Maybe you don't know me as well as you thought, Tia.” The grin she wore on her face previously slowly becoming more and more devious as she continued.

“So, tell me who it is? So I can get you all the appropriate paperwork,” Celestia said, but this is when she was met with an even more perplexing behavior, particularly her motions toward the stallion now hiding his lower half with the desk. After a few seconds of silly gestures, Luna simply sighed.

“Its Emerald, sister!” Luna said, “He's my captain and adviser!”

It was only when Luna said this that everything seemed to click into place. It all made sense from then on exactly why the two were about to have their way with one another. Celestia could only nod in understanding, not really wanting her sister to know exactly ran through her head at this particular moment.

'I...just hope you're not setting yourself up for heartbreak, Lulu...'
