Meeting Blueblood. (What a Joke.)

"Is that the whole story?" Celestia asked politely with a slight frown on her face.

Soon after Cygnus left the room he returned and told me to wake up Cynthia and follow him. We entered the thrown room of the castle and were told to explain what had occurred in the study. I explained in great detail what had happened but, something seems to be missing from the look Celestia has on her face. "Yes, that is everything Princess." I said in response to her question.

"I see... I will check the study later myself and check my surveillance spell." She said getting up from her thrown and walking to a window and looking outside. I looked to the guards by the doors to see them whispering about something but I can't make out what it is they are whispering about. Maybe if I had control over my magic it would be easier to hear them. Turning my attention away from them I notice Cynthia is staying closer to me and Cygnus than she normally does. Perhaps she still feels shock from what happened in the study. I feel Cygnus tap my shoulder to get my attention and gesture with his head towards Celestia who had been calling my name politely for the past minute or so without me noticing. "Texas. Are you alright? You seem to be spacing out."

"I'm okay. I was just thinking about something... Was there something you wanted to ask?" I asked after shaking my head slightly clearing my thoughts promising myself I'd get back to thinking later.

"Yes, there is." Celestia let out a soft sigh and continued. "I would like to ask of your assistance. Do you know of my nephew Blueblood?" I think for a moment then shake my head no. Which was only a partial lie but still a lie none the less. I really have to stop lying. "Well you see he is going to a specific and special place tonight. I am worried for his safety. He bares the title of Prince. Thus there may be ponies who would want him out of the way so to speak. Would you be willing to make time to guard him with Cygnus tonight?"

"Well... You see... I won't normally deny a request from royalty but... I'd rather not leave Cynthia alone... She had a bad experience today." I glance in Cynthia's direction to get a death glare from Cynthia. I try to ignore the glare the best I can pretending I never saw it. A shiver went up my spine. She was still glaring I could tell.

"Are you sure it isn't possible that you could? Is there anyway you would reconsider?"

"Hmm... I guess I could but I'd like it if Cynthia was in yours or your sisters sight the whole time Cygnus and myself are absent. I don't feel comfortable leaving to a party of sorts and Cynthia staying behind, alone." I could feel Cynthia's glare harden and drill into me like a drill bit in a high powered electric drill gun. She is angry. No angry is an understatement, she's furious.i continue to speak anyway but it is getting harder to ignore the glare. "If that'd be alright with you?"

"I believe that can be done." Celestia said nodding her head. "Lieutenant Flare would you please go get Blueblood and bring him here?" I glance to the guard i question. He was the guard who was whispering to the one next to him. Something about him seems off. Normally guards would never break the stoic look or attention at the least. Being relaxed while guarding the princess seems suspicious.

"Right away your majesty." Flare bowed his head and left the room. The door closed and I turned my attention to Cygnus.

"Cygnus... How much do you know about Lieutenant Flare?" I whispered to him. Cygnus turned his head confused but his face turned into one of thought.

"Lieutenant Flare? I don't know much about but, he is the relaxed type of pony. Although I am a bit on edge near him. He relaxes a bit to much when on duty." He whispered back. Cygnus' face turns back to a normal smile. "But what reason would you need to know that?"

"I'll tell you later. At the party." I answered with a nod. "Thanks for the information." I take some time to look around some more. Cynthia and Celestia were locked in a conversation so I don't think they heard us or even noticed us talking. None of the guards seemed to mind either as far as I know.

The large regal doors opened and I turned around. Cygnus followed in suite. A pristine white unicorn stood in the doorway with a smile on his face. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a relatively nice suite with a rose on the left side of his suite. "Auntie! Did you call for me?" His voice was what you call royally annoying. While it was proper it had that particular whine to it that most found extremely annoying. His eyes locked on to me and he fell to the floor. I look to Cygnus whom had his eyebrow raised in confusion. He made his way over to Blueblood and checked him over.

"He's fine, just fainted. Probably because of Tex." Cygnus said walking back to my side. "Sorry to ya know, say it so bluntly no offense."

"None taken." I replayed nonchalantly with a shrug. "What can I say I'm terrifying."

*This guy's a prince? Haha! What a joke. Well he does have that whiny and annoying voice. He sure dresses like one too. Although he sure as hell doesn't have the courage part! He fainted! What a riot! I really wish I could say this out loud but I don't think id be the best idea* I couldn't resist smiling at Blueblood's expense. Poor stallion didn't see that coming.
