A week passed since you last visited Milky, and your family. Things with Milky really have been heating up as she had sent some suggestive pictures that were borderline nude photos, you've showed the pictures to all your mares who all happily agreed to let her in the herd once you talked to Milky.

Aria seemed a little upset that she was losing in the bust race, though her bust was a lot bigger then Adagio and Sunset's. Both were petite and small which you loved and Aria's medium in a sense.

Currently you were with Aria, she was resting on your lap as the two of you weren't sleeping though. It was boring day with nothing to do, but rest between work and handling things with your marefriends you felt happy nothing but your time with Aria.

She also did have a small smile plastered across her face, something you rarely saw on her.

"You seem to really like my lap, why's that?" You ask

"It's warm and has my favorite toy. I just wish you weren't so damn tired then we can have some real fun!" She happily says with a giggle as she straddles you. Her arms were wrapped around your neck as she got closer for a kiss. Only to be interrupted by a knock on your door.

"Dammit! Who's knocking on our damn door?" She says with annoyance.

"Let me go check." Aria sighs and gets off of you and lets you up, walking towards the front door opening it you saw a big and buff looking reindeer he seemed to be a guard. You looked to the left to see a small more petite, but equally tough looking female reindeer.

"I believe you are Aiden Hart, the princess of the White Leaf would like to begin her fun lesson." He said lessons in quotation marks.

"Right I'll just get ready." He nods as you close the door and grabbed your wallet from the coffee table, Aria looks up at you.

"Where are you going?" She asks

"Ya know that princess party I went to? Well Dago needs some help with a mare who's a little harsh and pushy."

"What'd you mean pushy? Is she a bitch to you. I swear I'll-"

"Relax Aria it's nothing I can't handle just stay and sleep or swim do whatever it is that keeps you cool. Alright, I'll see you later sweetie." You gave her a kiss and walked away and exited the home.

"Follow us sir." The male reindeer informs, you nodded and followed.

Later...

Walking alongside the reindeer guards you noticed something about the female, unlike her male companion she wasn't heavily armored. She had leather bounded armor with a few metal plates strapped to her shoulders and legs, her stomach was covered by a mix of leather and metal while her breasts had extremely light and puncturable leather armor. Something told you that she was more agile then others, one more thing you noticed was a branch like bracelet covered with a few leaves and flowers. From what you read it signified that she knew some Flora magic, enough to keep her safe at least.

"Sir is there something wrong you've been staring at me for quite awhile." The female reindeer informed, her voice was soft and sounded almost caring. Not demanding and angry like Deidra.

"Well I noticed that you don't have much armor compared to your friend over there, is he more of brute force enforcer?" You asked curiously making the male reindeer chuckle.

"You've got an eye on you to answer your question yeah I serve and protect the princess from wannabe attackers who think it's wise to attack a lady. My friend here she's more of agile fighter running hiding and anything that'll keep herself safe, but'll surprise the enemy." He informs you only nod and notice that the female reindeer look at you, it wasn't like normal female guards would look at you in equestria's royal army not a cold gaze with a stern look, but more of a curious and gentle stare.

"Why do you ask?" She asks tilting her head in curiosity.

"Just something on my mind is all." You inform with a wave of your wrist.

"Ah well we should be going, it's best not to keep the princess waiting." The large male reindeer informed. You gave a nod and told him to proceed, both nod and proceeded to continue towards the castle.

"So now that we've talked to one another let's exchange names. You already know my name so let's push names outta the way." The two nod in unison before speaking up.

"I'm Ironwood, Princess Deidra's elite guard and my friend there her name's Ebrietas. One of the skilled runners of the White Leaf Empire."

"Skilled runners?" You asked

"Yes they're agile fighters who often catch thieves and it seemed that Princess Deidra had caught wind of her and decided to put her in a protective guard duty. As you can guess everything has worked out well." You gave him a nod seems like the female guard has a lot more to show.

Later...

Time passed quickly talking to the guards they were both really cool with talking, most guards in equestria refuse to talk unless it's a direct order but the two guards you walked alongside were actually happy to talk. Approaching Dago's room, you spotted Dago he looked tired and not really thrilled to be up

"Sorry for the weird way to bring you Aiden, Deidra insisted of you being escorted, hope you weren't too weirded out by that." He says with a sigh

"What the hell's going on? I was a little busy with Aria." You state with annoyance.

"So was I, Roxanne and Sonata wanted some time for 'themselves' but Deidra appeared and said she wanted to start the lessons now and to 'get them over with' and unify our nations or something." Before you could respond you heard a crash and what sounded like a vase breaking, you felt a rush of pain go to your wrist. A flower you made was ripped from its stem, of course any kind of floral you made and was ripped would hurt you, it would feel like a pinch but it still hurt like hell.

"Now Sonata and Roxanne are teaching her what's 'casual clothing' and apparently they are taking revenge for the interruption as well." Dago sighs while you two continue hearing Deidra complain.

"Hey you're the one who wants a princess go and defuse it I'll wait here." You inform shaking your wrist.

"I refuse to dress like a whore!" You hear Deidra yell with a sigh Dago looks at you. "Just don't go. Please, ok Deidra! Like it not, here I come!"

"What?! wait no!" Dago enters and closes the door behind him leaving you alone with the two guards. You turned back to the guards and began to talk about what you were talking about during your walk to the castle

"Okay back to the conversation, what would in a fight. Hydra or Dragon?"

"Depends on the dragon. Can it breath fire or ice?" Iron asks

"Fire, oh and it uses its tail to cut the hydras' heads off." Ebri began to think and shake her head.

"I have to disagree there Iron, hydra can just keep growing it's heads."

"But you forget it'll cauterize the wounds making it impossible to grow more." He retorts

"He makes a good point there Ebri." You point out

"Okay what about the hydra though, it has plenty of heads to attack the dragon, along with bite off any chunks of flesh on the dragon." Ebri says with a triumphant smile.

"That's just ridiculous a dragon's scales cannot be penetrated by a simple bite, it's teeth would instantly break."

"Okay what about the dragon's scales aren't that tough, they're as tough as our skin. But still can regenerate, sorta like the hydra's head but in a much slower pace."

"Then you have your answer hydra wins." Ebri happily informed with a smile, you and Iron looked at one another before sighing and nodding.

"Next fight nercomancer or floral user? And instead of fighting head on the nercomancer uses a variety of zombies and the floral user uses a variety of plants." The two began to think once more and stopped as they heard the ruckus stop.

"I can't believe you disgrace me in such a way." Deidra says with embarrassment as she hugs her body, she wore normal clothing rather then a formal dress. If she wasn't such a bitch to you, you would've thought she was cute.

"Girl up Deidra, Dago saw your melons, big deal, you were the one that couldn't decide on what to dress in. Roxanne smacked her ass making her glare at her. "Accept that you're hot and just move on would you?"

"We'll finish this discussion later. Great you're all done." You say turning from Ebri and Iron who had a smiles on their faces.

"Yeah sorry for the long wait we…"

"…don't need to talk about it." Deidra interrupted Dago "Shall we start with this already?"

"So what do you all wanna do?" You asked absentmindedly making Deidra glare at you as a response.

"You're the teacher, YOU take us." Deidra command you, you let out a small chuckle and wagged your index finger turning to her in a sarcastic manner.

"Yeah look since I'm taking out time from my schedule that being time I could be spending with my marefriend you're gonna act sweet or I leave simple as that."

"Oh threatening are we, then how about this…you do as I say or I…" Deidra was interrupted by Dago who looked really annoyed.

"Deidra, you better hold your tongue, princess or not that's my brother you're talking to, you took him up on the challenge and you want peace in our kingdoms? YOU better do your part as well. I mean it." He says glaring, She grumbles before huffing and looking away

"Fine, I'll play by your rules, now where to teacher?" She asks

"Oh for crying out loud!" Roxanne take her head and force her to kiss Dago before letting her go, she looks at you with a smile and nods. "There! That should ease up the tension, now do what you need to do professor." She waves you forward giving a nod

"There we go! We're all finally happy let's go. First on the list is a pub where a commoner like myself can get a stiff drink to wash away their sorrows or stress or whatever the hell yours bugging out about." You say waving your hand towards them commanding them to follow you.

"Y…yeah, l…lets…lets go there." Dago says stuttering before following.

"Nercomancer." Ebri whispered as she walked by you.

"Floral user." Iron whispered as he did the same.

"Hey I know this is a touchy subject but how do you deal with her?" You asked the two guards who sigh and only shake their heads.

"It takes a lot of mental strength to listen to her constant barrage of insults towards commoners and it's rather annoying constantly hearing them from her. But we deal with it." Iron states with a soft chuckle.

"Really do you hate your princess?" You asked curiously

"Of course not, we just can't stand being around her for very long. To be honest she wasn't always bratty, she was actually a sweet young mare but as you know money and power changes ponies." He says looking forward

"Has Dago ever acted like that? You know him more then we do."

"If he ever acts like that I slap him across the face, my mood of teaching kids who are being complete brats, to him that is. So far it's worked but I only seen him turn bratty once or twice and that was about it." The two guards nod and continue forward, but before you stopped and continued forward Ebri asked a question.

"You're a teacher on floral magic aren't you? From what I've heard from Dago it's a pretty advanced form of it. Photosynthesis and filtering poisons is something most users don't know, plus creating life entirely isn't something common floral users know."

"Studying up on me huh?" Ebri blushes and looks away before smiling.

"Deidra thought it was for the best, but there are things besides you being a teacher I'd like to learn more about."

"Hitting on the teacher huh? I do have that effect on mares." You chuckled making Ebri giggle in response.

"So far so good." You mumbled

Later...

Arriving at the pub you entered and lead the whole party to a large table, most of the people there were workers and some were even nobles wanting a drink or some food that wasn't very fancy.

Ebri had sat next to you, she seemed happy and caring when she was near you. But very briefly though, you swore you felt her hand rub on your thigh all the way to your crotch before stopping and giving you a wink.

"I think she's into me." You whisper to Iron who looked at Ebri who chuckles and nods.

"Attracting a mare like her you actually are a lucky stallion." You blushed and looked at Ebri who was looking at the menu. You sighed and took a menu too and began to examine the food.

Of course there was food for carnivores since gryphons and other creatures ate at the bar, you ordered a platter of spicy chicken wings and strong apple cider. Everybody around you had ordered vegetarian type of foods, since they were all except for Roxanne who ordered the same as you.

"Why on Equestria will be eating something so toxic?"

"A, you're a flora user, don't poisons just filter through you? And B, it's only poisonous if you eat or drink too much of it." Dago mentions with a smile

"Yup you got all that right, floral users are able to ingest and huff poison and we'd filter it out. And yeah try not to get too much alcohol in your body." You warned Deidra who seemed to look at you with curiosity.

"Wait…Deidra, you never had drink alcohol before?" Dago asks

"Of course I…"

"Wine doesn't count." He adds

"Ah…then no, no I haven't." She says with disappointment.

"Oh we need to fix that now, Aiden what is the best drink for Flora users?" He asks smiling

"Cocktail I'd say the leafian mix, which is sweet and bitter. Normal beer then I'd recommend a citrus ale." You informed

"Is this really necessary?" She asks a bit nervous

"Of course it'll help you relax and hey…if you can swallow a shot or tequila I will give you a kiss as a reward." Dago jokes before going towards the bar Deidra blushs before looking at you.

"He is joking right?" She asks

"Nope I've seen him do that to Sonata when she refused to drink Vodka." You laugh a little as the food and drinks come to the table. Everyone grabbed their food and Deidra looked at hers, she looked at the hayburger and fries and took one of her fries and bite a piece of it. She cringed as she ate a few seconds passed before she had a smile and began to eat more. She looked absolutely happy and you knew she had loved the taste of it.

"Why is he acting so…casual around other commoners I don't understand." She turns to you and questions.

"I'm actually to blame for that, ya see when he was younger Celestia wanted him to be a proper Prince I found him and well he's this." You point towards Dago who had ordered a few shots of tequila.

"Yeah! And I love Aiden for doing that!" Sonata happily admits as she butts into the conversation. Deidra jump and look at Sonata.

"Where did you came from?!"

"I heard you talking about my prince and decided to join in." Sonata happily giggles

"Excuse me, but this is kind of private…I think Mr.Hart here was about to teach me about 'having fun'."

"Relax Deidra if you wanna date Dago you're gonna have to have approval from the alpha. That being Sonata." You warned

"Yup yup! But don't worry I'll go away I've already got my answer." She says in a singsong voice.

"Wait!" Deidra stops her in fear. "I-I didn't know you were the alpha, my apologies, please stay, join with us warn me of anything prince Dago might try if I end up drunk."

"Relax, Sonata's a sweet mare she knows you're having a hard time adjusting. I should know me and Sonata dated for a bit." You say with a chuckle

"Oh yeah I remember! Those were great times but I found my true soulmate." She happily says with a sigh, Deidra looked surprised as she knew something about yours and Sonata's past.

Though your relationship with Sonata in the past was short lived you did learn something, Aria was totally and completely jealous by the end of it and relieved when she found out split, but decided to stay friend. Of course you used that to your advantage and got Aria alone which lead to some other times you never expected in your young life, which was angry sex, it was still sex just angry and frustrating considering she pissed you off and you pissed her off, but it was the best sex of your young life.

Author's Notes:

There's not much conflict in Aiden's life I can add. So many things happen in Ponyville that him being in Canterlot can cause a hindrance if you would give me ideas of story arcs that could happen there are a lot of potential chapters and characters Aiden can meet.
