It was all new to her, and new things made Rarity feel a bit…uncomfortable; especially when she didn't know much about them and was unprepared. Rari-… Princess Rarity bit her lip as she looked outside. She slowly closed her eyes and thought about all that had happened to her in the past month.

---

Five weeks ago, she was a simple maid cleaning Princess Cadence's room, when suddenly her younger brother came in. Although Rarity was startled a bit, she said "Good morning, your highness! Is there something I can do for you?"

Prince Blueblood smirked "Oh, there are many things I want you to do for me..."

The white unicorn was feeling rather distressed by the way the prince looked at her "Um, what can I…do for you?"

Blueblood suddenly closed the door, locked it and teleported next to Rarity. Before Rarity could do anything she was pinned to the wall by him. The royal stallion grinned and whispered in her ear "I am Prince Blueblood, and my older sister, Princess Cadence will soon inherit the throne to the Crystal Empire." Rarity smiled weakly "Why, that's marvellous news!"

Blueblood leaned closer to her and continued "Well, marvellous for my sister, as she'll become the empress. But what about me? Since Mother Celestia loved her only son quite a lot, she will leave Canterlot to me. Cady receives Mother's throne and I'll receive Father's throne, how apt..."

The prince trailed off as he looked straight into the young mare's moderate azure eyes with his own piercing baby blue eyes. Rarity gulped nervously, as she had no idea what was going to happen.

While Prince Blueblood was a cunning politician and a wonderful prince, he had a peculiar personality. Deep down, Rarity was hoping this was just a joke.

"Do you know what will happen when Cadence become Empress Cadence?"

"Um, there will a huge celebration?"

"Of course, you clever filly! Which means she will adorned with immense attention till the day she dies!" Blueblood exclaimed quietly, but angrily.

He moved closer, so that their bodies came into contact.

"Y-Your highness?" Rarity softly asked, knowing that an angry Prince Blueblood had the patience and temper of Nightmare Moon. Blueblood smiled and stroke her cheek "Sorry beautiful, did I scare you? Anyway, as I was saying, while Luna doesn't care much, I am somepony who simply can't tolerate not being showered with attention. Yes, I'm a self-centred pony and Equestria knows it."

Rarity suddenly asked him "So you want to do something to make sure attention is shared equally between you and your sister?" She immediately felt regret for just talking like that.

Blueblood was shocked as he stared at her for a few seconds, before grinning again.

"Oh yes, you clever filly! With an interesting aspect in my life, and several changes I'm going to make to Canterlot, I'll make sure I'm not just a politician who deals with messes created by the princesses." he said.

After a minute of silence of Rarity waking for her prince to speak, he suddenly kissed gently on the lips. Rarity instinctively pulled away and gaped at Blueblood. The stallion said "Once I take a simple maid as a wife, and be crowned the king of the most industrial and advanced place in all of Equestria, I can enjoy attention just as much Cady!"

"I…" Rarity was left speechless. Blueblood said "I liked you the first time I saw you, and you are the closest thing to a friend my sister has you know, other than Twilight. I also must say, you are the most beautiful filly I have ever seen in my entire life. Now, you just proved to me that you're very smart too. Oh, and, your dress-making skills are very known to me. However…"

"Yes…?" Rarity quietly asked.

"I unfortunately don't know your name."

Rarity bit her lip, before shyly answering "Rarity. My name is Rarity your highness."

"Rarity." Blueblood repeated, like a colt who had just learned a new word he liked, as he pulled away from her and there was finally some space between them. He kissed her cheek before whispering to her "I know you'll bear me beautiful foals. But at this moment…" Blueblood brought his hoof to the black laces of the French maid attire.

Rarity quickly pushed his hoof away with her magic, not caring if he was royalty or not.

"What are you doing?!" She asked him crossly "I may be a maid, but I, I…won't simply let you defile me like this!"

The prince frowned at her and opened his mouth to berate her, but then closed it and said "As much as I cannot wait for intimacy, beautiful, I wasn't going to undress you for pleasure. I simply want to dress you, Cadence said I could use her old clothes, and I want you to look like a princess when I propose to you."

Rarity brought up a hoof and said "Well I can dress myself, thank you very much!"

All of sudden, Rarity's hoof was painfully brought down and she was brought closer to an angry prince who said "Watch your manners. I am still a prince, and you will respect me. You can't behave however you want just because we got a little too close. I listed reasons for wanting to marry you, but there are more reasons I didn't mention. One of them is that, you're a maid, which makes you docile and less ambitious than a gold-digging noble mare. Now, do as you're told."

Rarity nodded fearfully as Blueblood let go of her hoof.

She opened the wooden trunk and chose a begonia dress with golden accents and gave it to the prince. Rarity walked over to the dressing screen followed by the prince.

As he gingerly took of her dress and admired her, Rarity whispered with a blush "Prince Blueblood?" Blueblood stopped and replied "Yes, Rarity?"

"Can I invite the castle staff and my friends and family from Ponyville to our wedding?" Rarity asked in an attempt to divert the prince's attention.

"Of course you can, ma chérie." Blueblood answered as he helped Rarity wear her dress. After he was done, he marvelled at his future wife's loveliness and pulchritude. Then he held her closer and whispered to her "Did I tell you, that you are the most beautiful filly I have ever seen in my entire life?"

Rarity blushed again and nodded, before her husband brought up her chin and kissed her.

"Rarity?"

"Yes?"

Blueblood looked into her eyes again and softly asked "I love you, Rarity. Now you please say it."

Rarity blinked once before saying "Oh, uh, I love you too, Blueblood?"

The prince hesitantly smiled. "What do you like about me?" he asked. Rarity looked at him and said "Well, I, though you were devilishly handsome the first time I saw you, but I…never thought I'd be your wife someday. I have heard many genius political antics for your assistant, Rainbow Dash. I've even heard many ponies say you're a good prince, and Princess Cadence likes you too. And Princess Celestia-"

"Will you be happy being my wife?"

"I, um…of course…I could have had a worse life, am I right your highness?"

Blueblood grinned and knelt down, and holding a beautiful platinum ring in front of the violet-maned filly asked her. "Rarity, will you marry me?"

Rarity gave him a small smile "Yes." After putting the ring on her hoof, her fiancé asked her "Would you like to start planning our wedding?" Rarity gently rubbed her cheek "Can we do it tomorrow, this is a bit…" Blueblood silenced her by pecking her on the lips "Of course. I understand." He kissed her cheek before saying goodbye and leaving Rarity to gather her thoughts.
