Ruhig Fortepiano is the ambassador of an yet unnamed, but powerful military and industrial empire, performing his duties in the city of Canterlot. After months of planning, the political-economical relations between the two kingdoms are keen to change for the better in quite a short time, Ruhig, as an ambassador, having a rather direct participation. But the brand new order of things may actually not be in everyone's liking.
Will the unpredictable and somewhat odd, but kind and morally elevated ambassador manage to apprehend the intrigue evolving around his ambiance for the next days before the execution of the formalities, thus, pushing the known Equestria in a bright future ?
