The Crystal Empire, a name long forgotten in the ever-flowing sands of time. An entire empire faded away to nothing more than a myth, a legend told to fillies and colts by their parents as they drifted off to another nights sleep. A legend that once again became a reality only a few short years ago. After a thousand-year absence from the face of Equestria, the Crystal Empire has returned to the frozen north, the Crystal Castle at its center jutting out to pierce the sky among the snow-topped peaks of the Crystal Mountains.

Already, the reemerged empire has faced its fair share of tribulations. With the help of the elements of harmony, the Crystal Princess and her crystal ponies used the Crystal Heart, an artifact that has long protected the Empire from the harsh climate (and even harsher creatures) of the arctic north, to expel their former tyrannical ruler King Sombra once more from the land.

As the love-charged Crystal Heart peeled back the shadow of Sombra from the Empire, its crystal ponies began the arduous process of rebuilding their lives. The Crystal Empire found itself a thousand years behind in magical and technological advancement and has had to work hard to become acclimated to modern Equestrian life. The harsh winds and near-constant blizzard conditions surrounding the sphere of magic keeping the city safe leaves the Empire short on resources and low on routes to their Equestrian partners to the south. In order for the reborn nation to thrive, the Crystal Empire must form diplomatic ties with its neighbors near and far to kickstart the economy.

The burden of restoring the Empire to its former glory rests on the shoulders of its young leader, the Crystal Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, and her as-of-yet untested diplomatic skills. No longer in the shadow of her celestial Aunts, the Princess of Love must stand strong on her own four hooves and lead her loyal subjects into the future. This is the story of how Princess Cadance secured her country’s future with what would become the defining example of the modern day Equestrian art of diplomacy.

“Mmm… yeah, Shiny… harder....”

Inside the Crystal Castle, near the top of its grand center tower, were the bed chambers of the Empire’s royal family. Though not exactly the same as their old abode in Canterlot, Princess Cadance and her beloved Prince Shining Armor had come to love their new home just as well, if not more, than the royal suites in Canterlot. The royal chamber was made of pure bluish-white crystal, looking as if it had been chiseled out of a single stone taken from the deep crystal mines of the Empire. Lavish furnishings decorated the room as ancient relics once hidden away in the shadows by King Sombra were now on full display. A large glass door led out to a balcony that overlooked the entire Empire, and walking out onto it would give the room’s occupants an amazing view each and every morning as Celestia’s sun would rise up from the horizon and illuminate the crystal structures below in the pinkish hue of a new dawn's light. The room also came with the benefit of being secluded from the rest of the castle, far enough away from the servant’s and guard’s quarters that no one could hear anything that happened inside the bed chambers. Once again, the pair of inhabitants were skipping out on another beautiful sunrise to make full use of this fact.

“Ohhhh… almost there…”

On top of a large bed, big enough to comfortably fit half a dozen ponies or more, lay the two rulers of the Empire. The bed’s bright red silk sheets were in a state of disarray, scattered about haphazardly around the two entwined ponies. The light of the early morning sun poured through the balcony door to illuminate noticeable splotches of moisture that dotted the sheet’s landscape, most notably a large wet spot that had formed and continued to grow where the two ponies met.

The Crystal Princess was lying on her side, her slightly bloated belly hanging out to rest on one of the few cushions not knocked off the bed onto the floor and had her body facing towards the balcony door. One of her forehooves was stretched out to grab at the bed’s headboard as it repeatedly hit the crystal wall behind it in time with her husband’s hard thrusts. The other hoof had worked past her pregnant belly to reach between her legs and was furiously rubbing at the nub of pleasure that winked in and out at the top of her marehood to meet her. The Prince, captain of the Crystal Guard and defender of the Empire and its ponies, had one of her back hooves propped up on his shoulder to create an open “L” shape with her back legs as he drove his hips between her thighs like an autonomous machine. Wet shlicks and thumps of flesh against flesh accompanied the panting and groaning of the two lovers to fill the bed chambers with a symphony of lust. If somepony had flown up to the balcony and peered inside, they would get a prime view at the action between Cadance’s legs as her husband’s slick rod of flesh drove between her legs to split her open again and again, her engorged teats swinging erratically from the force of his thrusts.

“Me too… in or out?”

“IN! Give it to me! Ohhhhhhh...!”

Cadance gave a long, drawn out moan as her body began to quake uncontrollably in orgasm, an eruption of warm fluids jetting out of her marehood to coat her lover’s long black stallionhood and large, round balls in another coating of her feminine juices. Even as her eyes rolled up into her head, Shining continued to piston his cock in and out of her with wild abandon, his eyes closed in concentration as he tried to ride out his wife’s orgasm. Squelching noises rang out as her honeypot tried to spill its essence around his thick pride, followed by the back-to-back wet thwack of his soaked nuts impacting her flank and her teats swinging into her pregnant belly.

Nearing his peak, Shining began to thrust harder, using shorter thrusts to keep as much of his salacious spear sheathed inside his wife as possible. Feeling the pressure in his bloated balls build to a mind shattering climax, he pulled out just enough so that his wide flare stretched out the lips his wife’s labia before rapidly sinking balls deep back inside her, his cum-laden orbs swinging like pendulums to kiss at the bottom cheek of her flank. After two more of these mind-numbing thrusts, Shining Armor’s world became a sky of exploding colors and a sea of pure white all at once as his balls pulled up and began to blast the insides of Cadance with stallion sperm.

Feeling the shaft inside of her flex and pump out its gooey load, Cadance moved her hoof from her aching clit to reach further between her legs, rubbing and kneading at her husband's heavy testicles as they rested on her flank and pulsed in their sac in the hopes of emptying them further.

“That’s it… fill me up…”

She could feel the warm jets of liquid fill up her womb, the rhythmic impact of semen on her inner walls sending lightning bolts of pleasure through her veins. Her husband’s wide flare acted like a plug, preventing any of his seed from escaping as it poured out inside of her. Just as his cream filled her to capacity, Shining Armor began the slow process of withdrawing his pulsing stallionhood from her hot tunnel. The bloated head of his flare made both of them shiver in pleasure as it was dragged across her inner walls, and Cadance was unable to hold in a moan as it raked against the rough patch of skin that was her g-spot. Even as it wormed its way out of her marehood, the hot stallionhood gave out spurts of even hotter fluid leaving a trail of white in its wake.

Cadance took a peek between her legs and watched as each inch of her beloved’s shaft pulled out of her. She could make out the hills and valleys that the engorged veins of his pride created across its surface, streams of her marecum shining in the light of the sunrise to create a picturesque landscape across the taut skin of his shaft. The petals of her flower clung to the retreating stallionhood, pulled slightly outward as they tried to keep the source of their pleasure inside of her.

As his flare reached the end of its journey, he gave a couple of short thrusts to prepare his wife and then pulled out with a loud, wet pop. He laid the soaked rod between the fleshy pillows of her teats, slowly rocking it back and forth as it continued to trickle out its sticky white cream onto her. Her marehood had to take a moment to close back into its original shape, and even after that a small stream of salty semen still leaked out and flowed down to cover her thigh.

Shining Armor forcefully sat back on his haunches with a low groan, his slowly deflating cock still nestled in its holster between his wife’s soft teats. “Whew, now that’s a way to start your morning.” Taking a deep breath and sighing out, he fell backward and laid on the bed, his stallionhood swinging away from the cozy valley of her bosom and pointing up towards the ceiling he now looked at. “I’ll take that over coffee any day of the week.”

Closing her weary legs and crawling between his, Cadance giggled and gave a kiss to the top of his flare. Watching it twitch and drool out a small trickle of seed in response, she gave the head a small lick, getting a strong taste of the potent mixture of their combined sexual fluids and then began to kiss her way down the shaft, stopping to pay special attention to his medial ring and where shaft met sheath before continuing down.

Reaching her favorite pair of jewels in all of Equestria, she lovingly planted a wet smooch on each of his low hanging balls as they rested on his taint in their loose black sac. She shoved her muzzle between the crook of his twin orbs, breathing in a magnificent mixture of musk that built up where sheath met sac. Opening her maw up wide, she wormed her tongue between the testicles and his taint and used her tongue as a prehensile scoop to drop his heavy balls inside her mouth. She hummed as she rolled the balls around in her mouth, earning a soft groan and a gasp from her husband in reply. Feeling his stallionhood begin to droop over her muzzle, she brought a hoof up to stabilize the collapsing pillar of flesh against her face as she lovingly rubbed her cheek against it, pulling his testicles back and forth with her mouth. As the flavor of his scrotum changed from the bitter-sweet combination of their shared orgasm to the taste of his warm flesh, she gave one last suck then released the balls from the wet prison of her mouth and they swung back to once again lay in rest. This time, however, the stimulation of her tongue and the heat inside her mouth had caused them to relax, returning them to their normal sagging after being pulled tighter to his body after his orgasm. The balls reached low enough to pool out slightly on the silk sheets below, spreading out like a pair of large gems in a loose cloth bag.

Resting her head on his inner thigh, she closed her eyes and nuzzled at his crotch, idly slurping at the fluids that still coated the bunched up skin of his sheath. After dipping her tongue in the musky crevice between his stallionhood and its fleshy home, she sighed out and tiredly stated “Too bad we rule a whole country now. I could definitely go for another thirty minutes in bed.”

It was Shining’s turn to laugh in reply, reaching down to pat her head. “Sorry that I can’t stay to join you, dear, but I gotta get going. Today’s graduation day for the first of the new Crystal Guard recruits. The first group of crystal ponies that I’ve worked with all the way through their training.”

Cadance moved her head out of her husband’s lap as he started to get up, only to let it drop down again after levitating over one of the many pillows that had wound up on the floor. Cuddling up to the soft cushion, she watched as the Captain of the Crystal Guard struggled to work his way out of the tangle of sheets on the bed, nearly tripping over several times in the process. “Don’t worry, they’ll be fine. They had an amazing instructor to help them train.”

Walking over to a large crystal vanity in the corner, he continued talking to Cadance as he combed his mane. “Thanks, hon. What’s on the agenda for you today?” Giving her a smirk in the mirror, he continued grooming as he gave her a show of shaking his rump, his tail lifted to show off his balls as they swayed with his hips. “Any way we can sneak another round in?”

Giving him a snort-laugh and a playful magic slap on his backside in reply, she said, “You’re insatiable, Shining! As for me...” Sitting up on the bed and putting a hoof to her chin in thought, she felt a sliminess on her hoof and could smell the strong scent of sex all around her. Looking at her hoof and then down at the rest of her body, she jokingly remarked, “Guess I could go for a shower, ” - she turned to look at the bed sheets behind her - “and I should probably clean up around here some. Wouldn’t want the maids to be scarred for life.” After the two shared a laugh, she asked, batting her eyelashes and opening her legs to give him a pleasant view between them, “Would you care to join me for a nice, warm bath, captain?”

Turning around and smiling at her, he replied, “Now who’s insatiable? While I’d love too, ‘my Princess’, I’m almost late as is. Wouldn’t want to leave a bad impression on the newbies.” His horn lit up as he levitated over a towel and began to wipe off the fluids that coated his lower half. He suddenly felt a warmth spread over the hoof holding the towel and looked over questioningly at his wife’s now glowing horn.

“Allow me to help, my loyal servant.”

Before he could even give her a reply, his breath was taken from his lungs in a gasp as Cadance began to clean up between his legs. Her bright blue magic held his weighty testicles like a pair of fruits to be appraised. She rubbed at his scrotum with the towel to clean it off of their combined fluids, sending the towel back and forth almost as if she were polishing a pair of egg-shaped crystals. Even as the cloth floated up towards his sheath, her magic continued to roll his balls around in their bag, never hard enough to cause any pain but with just enough strength to get her husband going. Never moving from her position on the bed, she began to massage the bundle of skin that was his sheath like an expert masseuse, rubbing the deflated shaft within with its own fleshy housing. Just before the stallionhood contained within began to extend towards the floor, the warmth between his legs abruptly stopped and the towel was casually tossed aside.

“All done! Have a good day at work, hon!”

Giving her a groan of disappointment, he frowned at her and said, “Oh, I am SO getting you back for this later.” He levitated his guard uniform over and quickly got dressed, the slight stiffness between his legs making it harder than usual. Giving himself a once-over in the mirror, he made his way over to his slyly smiling wife still sitting on the edge of the bed and gave her a kiss on the lips, reaching down to lovingly rub her belly. “I’ll see the both of you for dinner later, my love,” - giving her a smirk and reaching even further down, he gave a teasing rub at her crotch and continued, - “and believe me, you are going to get quite the ‘punishment’ later tonight for working me up so much right before work.”

“Oh, believe me, I’m looking forward to it.”

Shining made his way out of the room, blowing her one final kiss as he closed the door behind him. Cadance stretched her body out with a smile on her face, soaking up the rays of sunlight that shone through the balcony door. Rubbing at her pregnant belly, she had a brief impulse to rub out a quick one before she had to get up but dismissed it just as quickly as the thought came.

‘Might as well save that for later tonight. These hormones are starting to drive me crazy!’

Turning to look at a magically enchanted crystal clock on the wall, she saw that she had just about half an hour to go before needing to head down and open the royal court, so she got up and started on the task of cleaning up the mess she and her husband had made.
