I realize I never cared for your court but just about anything is better than wallowing in self-pity. And if this “Nephew” is such a cad then why do you not just remove him from the “family”. I swear, you are such a softy, you need to have some rumors involving dungeon throwing and banishment spread so your ponies will respect you.

Also yes I do realize that by the time a “councilor” got enough experience to help me they would be dead of old age. But perhaps there is a certain alicorn guardian of the sun (and currently my moon) that could do more than a short lunch together and reading my diary.

don't worry dear reader, you will find out more about this "family" later
