Nathaniel was woken up by the sound of Blaze scratching at the door leading out from their new room. The wolf was whining and looking back at him every few seconds before continuing to scratch on the door. He assumed the pup wanted to find something to eat and probably relieve itself.

With a sigh and a yawn the human got up and walked over the door, opening it for the wolf who ran off down the hall. The young man wondered if he should be worried about it but just let it go, he was to tired too care and he felt really annoyed for several reasons.

First things first, the servant or rather the shock spell. He could see a few golden lines underneath his white skin now and again, indicating it was there and ready to be used against him. After what had happened in the cage he would not be foolish enough to break an order from his new "employer", that didn't mean he had to like this.

The day before had been such a chaotic day he had to process what was really happening to him, he was a servant now. That stung, not only because it meant some of the freedom he had been given was just stolen from him. All of this was because he might be dangerous? Nathaniel knew people, or ponies in this case, could be overprotective but this was ridiculous.

The human left his new room and started to draw a mental map of the castle as he moved through its halls. When he found a restroom it wasn't exactly the kind his former rich life would have gotten, but it was better than a damn hole in the ground out in the cold snow.

After he had tended to his needs he moved towards the dining hall, the guards standing at every corner pointing him in the right direction. They referred to him as "Mister Sol", something that amused him to no end, having owned that name for less than twenty-four hours.

Yet the respect that name seemed to bring was a good sign, even if the guards tightened their grip of their spears whenever he got close. If that name gave him some sort of control or at least some sort of respect that meant Celestia had given him something that actually meant something, still didn't mean he liked her.

The hallways of the castle were all grey or green, having a high roof but narrow walls. Moving down them felt the same, like you were stuck and couldn't fight. The helpless feeling he got from walking towards the dining room made him angry, Nathaniel hated the feeling of not being able to do something.

From the hallway his room was located in it was a maze of twist and turns to the dining room, the guards he passed looking mostly the same. A right and a left, a right and a left. It never ended. When finally reached the two golden doors he was more annoyed than he had been before, the two guards on the door opening it for him.

While the castle hallways had mostly black, grey or green as colour scheme the grand dining room was golden and red. The round room had three large windows to the right, left and center one could see after entering through the door. The windows were stained glass depicting events, like a great pink heart warming a group of ponies in a cave on the window to the left or the two princesses accepting their crowns to the right.

Nathaniel was stunned by the middle window that allowed most light into the room. The long window ended with a half circle at the top, going up from the floor and almost reaching the roof twenty meters up in the air. The glass on the window was moving though magical means and the swirling vortex of colours formed a white pegacorn with a red mane and tail surrounded by the universe. It quickly went back into the chaotic swirl of colours however.

Nathaniel was to stunned to move for a minute, the sheer power radiating from the image made his mark glow. If that was like this country's queen he was impressed. The human soon noticed the blue pegacorn looking at him with a small smile as he explored the room. She sat by a long table that almost stretched from one wall to the other.

As Nathaniel moved through the room he watched the tapestries hanging from the otherwise naked walls next to the windows. They were bearing a crest of either a sun or a moon, making the room feel very much like the royal sisters personal dining chambers.

Nathaniel sat down on a chair opposite from the blue mare, looking at her with skepticism, what would he even do here? So far she had just requested him to be here during the morning hours, did she have a plan in mind? The young man really didn't want to become a butler, he was not ever gonna wear another suit in his life.

"I see that you enjoy the artwork our brother made for me and my sister" The princess said and he nodded in response.

"I may not like this, at all, but I will admit those windows look beautiful, especially the middle one" Nathaniel said and pointed to the swirling mass of colours.

The blue mare turned to the window as it once again changed to the white pegacorn, the more compassionate of the two sisters frowned before turning back to the human with a small smile. Had that been sadness in her eyes? It looked so similar to the faces he watched during his rich life back at earth.

"Yes, that image was created to honor our mother, may she rest in peace" His new handler said and lit her horn, bringing a cup of tea to her lips.

The table was adorned with all sorts of food, eggs, porridge, loafs of bread, something that looked like bacon but smelled like hay and of course pancakes. Next to all of the food there was milk and tea, making him smile, if there was one thing Nathaniel had missed it was a warm cup of tea. His stomach grumbled and the princess giggled slightly, giving him a plate with her magic.

"Take what you want, the wolf cub has been given an area where he can hunt" She said and he nodded, bowing his head slightly.

"Thank you for taking care of Blaze princess" The human said respectfully, he might not like the situation he was in but Nathaniel had to take every sign of kindness he could.

"It was no problem, all children of the night are under my protection, and please call me Luna. After yesterday you deserve to at least skip the titles" Luna said with a sad smile and he grunted in response.

The young man took some eggs and put them on his plate before grabbing a cup and pouring up some tea into it. Luna watched him with interest as he slowly and very methodically grabbed everything on the table, like he was used to dining with royalty.

"As you must have understood we cannot let you go, but this doesn't mean I will not try to make you feel comfortable" The princess stated and he nodded slowly.

"As I'm a "servant" now, what exactly are you having me do?" The human asked the mare with venom dripping from his voice, making her flinch.

"I'm sorry for my sister and I using those kinds of words when describing what your role will be here. You will be more of a ward than anything else, even if an unwilling one" Luna smiled apologetically and Nathaniel sighed in response.

He had lost some of that freedom the forest had given him and it hurt. The fact that all of this was based on assumptions and maybes made him even more annoyed and angry. Yet, so far Luna had been mostly kind and he wouldn't act like an ass if he didn't have to.

"It's.. not fine. But for what it's worth I accept your apology. Yet I don't forgive your sister or you for having this spell placed on me nor for having me attacked. It will take some time getting over having a knife thrown at you or being sent flying by a magic death ray" He mumbled and the princess nodded understandingly.

"I understand that, and I'm sorry for your mistreatment. But sadly I have to interrogate you for a few minutes, we need to know the basic facts about who and what you are" She said and got up, looking at Nathaniel stuffing his face with pancakes.

"There is no need to be so serious, I'll answer your questions so we can move on to what I'm gonna be doing here" The human said and she nodded.

"In return you can ask me some question as well, I assume you have many" Luna stated and got a nod from the new servant.

"What is your species called? We have never ran into a being like yourself before" The blue mare said and the young man answered quickly.

"I'm a human, homo sapiens if you want a formal name for it. Now, what are you princess? I've been menatlly calling you a pegacorn but I feel like that is wrong" The human answered and questioned before taking a sip from his tea.

He smiled as he felt the warm liquid rush down his throat, giving him a sweet reminder of reading a book in front of an open fire or just relaxing with a friend (or at least he thought this was what it was supposed to be, he had never really experienced a moment like that). He felt oddly calm to give away his secrets to Luna, perhaps because he didn't really have a choice or maybe because Nathaniel didn't want to loose the small kindness she was giving him.

"Me and my sister are alicorns, ponies with the strength of all three races" She answered after writing down his answer on a paper using a quill.

"Where did you come from Nathaniel? Me and Celestia has seen most of Eques yet we have never come across a nation with the likes of yourself ruling over it" Luna asked and he thought for a moment.

"It's not very important where I'm from these days, my home never felt like home and my family won't miss me" Was all the young man said, the mare frowning but accepting his answer for now, planning on bringing it up later.

"You are not trained in the arts of magic, correct?" The princess of the night asked him and the human nodded.

"Yet even while untrained you still show some abilities that makes me question your power. That meditation you used allowed you to "see" those around you and evaluate their character and power, or at least that is the report Lieutenant Rose left for me" The pony said, taking a sip from her cup.

"I can't judge your character. I can see which part of you defines you the most, I think. I can sense something from those around me and narrow it down to one word, but even then that word doesn't make justice to the emotion I get from "reading" those around me" Nathaniel said, finishing up his meal by throwing the eggs into his mouth, manners were starting to elude him.

"So, would you say that this ability could hurt those around you?" Luna asked, more for Celestia than herself (even if she would admit to wanting answers about the human's magic).

"Yes and no. I can focus better while meditating and therefore use spells on those around me better, or at least pick up frogs" He responded and drank the rest of his tea.

"That is all I need to know for now. Do you have questions for me?" She asked and he gave her a deadpan look that screamed "of course I have questions".

"What year and date is it? What country and planet is this? I really want to know all the facts so I got it right" Nathaniel asked and she looked at him with a small smile.

"The year is the 45th of the united era as our subjects have come to call it. It is Monday, January fifteenth. The country's name is Equestria and the planet's name is Equus. There, a few small things that might be good to know" The alicorn said and sipped on her teacup.

'Almost my birthday then, only four days' The young man thought for himself, glad that they counted time the same way they did back on earth.

"Why are you so kind to me? Sure you knocked me out yesterday but ever since you are acting kindly to me. It strikes me as odd coming from a place where people in leader positions rarely do apologize to those they hurt" He said, thinking back to his father.

"I made a mistake and got you hurt. What kind of leader would I be if I couldn't stand up for that mistake and apologize?" Luna asked Nathaniel who nodded, lost in thought for a second.

He had so far gotten the vibe from the guards that they carried deep respect for the royal sisters, the young man now understood why. Luna had apologized and acted with kindness to make him feel somewhat better after the stress filled day before. It was admirable that she would do something like that for a creature she had known for less than a day.

Nathaniel also noticed something, she still spoke to him with normal English while he had seen her speak with that old Shakespearean way to the guards. Was it a respectful thing to do? Was he supposed to be addressing someone that way? He really didn't hope so, it sounded ridiculous.

"How come you don't speak weirdly when you're with me? I hear how you speak with any of the guards" He said and the lunar princess looked at him with a smirk.

"Out of all things it is my speech that is troubling you?" She asked with a smile and he nodded.

"Yeah, it is a significant change from how you address others. I just wanna know why you speak normally to me" Nathaniel told Luna who picked up a silver bell with her magic, a earth pony mare dressed in a maid outfit walking in.

"I have treated you badly, as I've said before, and think you deserve to at least be addressed like an equal. It was not my intention to hurt you the day before, but due to the incompetence of a subordinate you were attacked. My way of addressing you is another apology, one I know is hard to accept, but I hope you will accept it in time" The ruler said and Nathaniel looked at her for a moment before smiling.

"I don't like what you have done to me princess. But thank you for showing me that kind of respect" He said and both of them smiled at each other.

The fact that this mare was willing to go out of her way to correct a mistake was still making him admire her. Maybe not completely forgive her for what had happened, but on his way to doing so. She hadn't been the one to put the spell on him, her sister was the culprit in that regard.

When the human thought about the other princess he had met the day before he saw red, wanting nothing more than to find her and give her a good slap for binding him to yet another life with servants. The only difference this time was that he was one of them now, meant to serve those above him.

Nathaniel really needed to get the lunar princess to tell him what he would be doing. If he was meant to serve then the young man wanted to know what work they intended for him, if Nathaniel Sol was to become a slave he should at least know what work he would be doing. Wait.. Had he just called himself by the name given to him by Celestia? Dammit, it did kind of fit him though.

"Luna can you tell me what your sister plans to do with me? I would feel much better if I knew what slave labor I will be doing" He said and the princess flinched once again.

"You are not our slave. We will not treat you as such, as you most likely understand since we have allowed you to eat within the royal dining room" She responded and he grunted in response, not entirely buying the fact that he would not be a slave.

"After a lot of thinking I found it to be best if you stay close to me while you work. Therefore I've decided to make you my bodyguard" Luna said and poured another cup of tea.

As they had been talking the maid had been cleaning up the table, putting the plates of food on a nearby trolley. Her pink mane and red coat made her stand out among the golden walls but let her blend in with the royal red of the carpets and tapestries. She moved very quickly, taking the plates from the princess and human without a sound. But hearing the princess words she stopped and looked at her wide eyed.

Nathaniel had a hard time processing her words, bodyguard? Had he been stabbed, shocked and knocked out just to become a pony princess bodyguard!? He had known her for like a fucking day! The young man felt like he was being tricked but he saw no lies coming from her, she genuinely wanted him as her new bodyguard.

"What? Why? I barely know you, why would I want to protect you?" He asked, a bit more coldly than he'd have wanted.

"I understand this is very sudden, but I have been ordered to keep an eye on you as well as assign you some work. Becoming my bodyguard or at least part of my guards will allow me to do just that. I understand that you might also be very reluctant to doing this, but if you do this I will promise to get you fresh meat" She told Nathaniel who looked at her, weighting what options he really had.

If he took this job from her then the young man at least knew what they wanted out of him, but he hadn't any training for that kind of assignment. If he screwed up then Luna could get hurt, which would most likely end with him getting hurt. It was either this or that dark cell however, he did not have a choice.

"I don't have any training for that princess, I can kind of use a bow but that is it. You're asking me to protect you with my life when I'm uncertain I can do so. Don't you have other bodyguards?" He asked her and the blue mare looked at him with a small smile.

"You do not need to worry, you will not be the only new bodyguard. Both you, Scout Osiris and Lieutenant Rose have been selected for this task, and will receive the necessary training to do this job" the ruler of Equestria said and he nodded slowly.

What was he supposed to even think? The human had no prior experience with things like this, plus he was not exactly doing this because he wanted to. If it came down to it would he fight for this mare that had helped him quite a bit but also hurt him badly?

"I.. I accept. Not that I have much of a choice" The human said with a mumble.

"No, no you do not sadly" Luna said with a sad sigh.

The maid left the room, probably with the intent of gossiping about the lunar princess's new bodyguard. Nathaniel was still wondering what he was supposed to do however, the maid taking his plate didn't even register. If he was now a bodyguard then that meant responsibilities had been thrust upon him, again. Why was he getting flashbacks to his father's grinning face.

"You can wander the castle if you want to now. The guards are informed of who and what you are, so they will only bother you if you anger them" the alicorn said and Nathaniel got up with a nod, leaving the room with the princess.

While Luna headed towards the throne room the human walked back towards his room, getting lost a few times along the way. The guards (which of almost all of them were mares, wonder why) gave him a few glances but mostly ignored him, starting to get used to his footsteps coming down the hallways. He ran into a few maids and a butler along the way, most of them already eyeing him with interest. So they already knew of his new title then? Great.

The human wouldn't say he hated the castle so far. Sure he had been forced into servitude but there was something about owning a bed (he did own it, right?..) that made him feel calm. A bed represented many things, the sign of a home, a sign of some sort of wealth, a sign of rest and a sign of relaxation. Knowing that he had a bed put his mind at ease, or at least for a while.

When the human finally reached his room a female guard in black armor waited for him outside the door, holding something wrapped up in cloth with her magic. Before he could question what it was the wrapped up object was handed to him and the guard walked off.

Nathaniel looked at a note stuck to the wrapped thing, simply signed "A gift" with a moon crest below the text. Shrugging he unwrapped the thing and soon looked at a sheated sword with awe. The sheat was made from some sort of soft blue crystal with weird patterns carved onto it. The handle of the sword was black with the pommel and cross-guard being made from hardened silver. Pulling out the blade he could see it was black with his name carved into it, the letters glowing a deep green.

Was this one more apology gift? A good blade so he could survive easier? Or maybe it was his service weapon, he was a bodyguard now, the young man would need it to protect Luna. He was happy for the gift, it made him feel a bit safer (maybe that was the point) and he could now fight back if he needed to.

Entering his room the human hid the blade under his new bed before thinking for a second. Should he have it on him? It was given to him by Luna but did that mean he was allowed to have it nearby when he wasn't supposed to guard her? Nathaniel did not want to relive that moment in the cage because of a gift the blue mare gave him.

Coming to a decision he left the sword under the bed and then left the room, wondering if he should be requesting a lock. Yet a quick glance at the scowling guard mares (seriously where was all the stallions, he had seen some when he was let out of the cage) changed his mind about that, they would stay away from the room, so would the maids probably.

Nathaniel asked one of the guards (who addressed him as guardian now for some reason) where the gardens where and she pointed her left hoof down the opposite hallway that lead to the dining room and throne room. He thanked her and walked towards the sound of birds and animals, soon coming to an open gate that lead out to a snow covered garden, the light leaking into the hallway like blanket covering the darkness.

When he walked out into the garden the human could see some parts that the snow didn't seem to touch, a statue of a creature made up from different animal parts stood in the middle of the garden with the snow seemingly falling off an invisible dome around it. A large patch of grass that grew around the statue seemed to be unaffected by the cold winter as well, leaving it in an never ending summer.

A few trees also stood unaffected by the winter, similar invisible domes protecting them. Nathaniel was jealous that they had protection while he did not. Where was his wolf fur coat, he missed the warm thing. The young man would have to ask Luna to have it returned to him.

He walked up to the statue and the same second the new bodyguard walked into the dome the warmth made him miss summer. The feeling he got from the statue made him shudder a bit, the statue the most cold thing inside the dome. The creature it depicted had the head of a pony, wing of a bat, wing of pegasus, body like a snake, an antler and a ram horn on its head, a lion's paw on its right arm, eagle's claw on its left arm, its a left leg that of a goat and its right leg being that of a dragon.

The creature unsettled him. From everything he had seen on earth or here the thought of a beast like this made his mind question what he was seeing. All of those different body-parts should make it hard for the being to even move. How could something like this even exist? It made no sense!

"Oh what fun is there in making sense" A voice chuckled and the human jumped, looking around for the origin to the voice.

After many minutes of searching around with his eyes Nathaniel relaxed, walking away from the creepy statue. If this place had ghosts then he sure as hell wasn't gonna bother them. Yet when he returned to the gate he had come from the young man heard a howl and soon he had his face filled with grey fur.

"Blaze! Down boy! Down!" He laughed as the wolf pup ran around him in circles, very happy to see his owner again (even if he had only been gone for like an hour and a half).

After finally getting the wolf cub to calm down he went back inside, looking back at the statue on last time before turning his attention forward. It was then he saw that bat pony from the day before, her red eyes watching him as he walked towards his room. She seemed to want something but was either too shy to ask or not allowed to ask.

"Are you ok?" He asked the mare he had deceived the day before (something he felt a little bad about, just a little mind you).

"I was told to, um, stay in your room. As new protectors we are supposed to live together" Rose mumbled to the human who adopted a deadpan stare.

Great, his room was no longer his room anymore. Why did he think even for a second he could have a safe heaven here. Yet it might not be that bad, so far this mare had been compassionate with him like Luna. He needed to make allies if he was to get the spell off him and get away from servitude.

"Fine. You're bringing your own bed though, I only snuggle with the wolf" He huffed and the mare blushed at the thought of cuddling with the large human.

He rolled his eyes and walked into the room to find a bunk bed in the corner, covering the window. A table had been dragged into the room as well, a stallion Nathaniel recognized immediately sat by the table, his left front leg wrapped heavily in bandages. There was a silent moment between them, the stallion narrowing his eyes at the wolf cub by the human's feet while the wolf growled.

Nathaniel just looked on as the stallion slowly reached for a book with his right leg while Blaze's growls grew louder. The wolf and the stallion lunged for each other, one wielding a book like a sword (which looked ridiculously epic in the young man's eyes) and the other barring his fangs in the air to bite his opponent.

The moment was broken of by Nathaniel closing his eyes, his right hand reaching out quickly as both the wolf and the stallion was suspended in the air for a few seconds before both were let go of the magic grip, falling to the floor and landing on all fours (which caused the stallion to grunt in pain). Nathaniel wiped away a small trickle of blood running down his nose before looking at them both. Using magic that quickly and levitating two objects that size was a strain upon his body, good to know.

"Blaze, don't attack the pony. He won't hurt you, if he knows what's best for him" The human said as the wolf backed off, eyeing the injured scout suspiciously.

"Is the creature part of this squad!? What in tartarus is the princess thinking!?" Osiris yelled at Rose who covered behind the table.

"It was Luna's orders Oz. You can ask he.." The bat pony started only for the stallion to limp past the human and the wolf, leaving the room.

Nathaniel was unsure what to think. So far in the matter of two days he had lost his home, been attacked, met two rulers, been put in a cell, had a servant spell placed on him, been given a job he had no idea how to do, had a sword handed to him, heard creepy voices in a garden and been forced to share his room with two others. He needed a fucking break before he had a stress related mental breakdown.

"Um, sorry about that.." The bat pony mumbled to him and the young man just shrugged, he needed to get some rest if he was to get through any day with these ponies.

"Just, go and guard or something ok? I need a moment for myself" The human said and sat down on the bed, the fluffy hairball of a wolf jumping up next to him.

The sanguine mare nodded and left the room like her friend before her, leaving Nathaniel alone with his thoughts. If this was to be his new life, if this job was Luna's solution to keeping an eye on him while not making him a full slave, then he had to accept the fact that the servitude spell might be on him for a long time.

The young man had no idea how long the spell would be stuck on him. Would it just be gone one day, or would it be removed once he proved himself to be trustworthy? If it was the latter he could very well be screwed, he wasn't here out of free will, which meant he would be much more prone to reject what suggestions they would have for him.

Nathaniel knew now that he was gonna be safe in the castle, but where wouldn't he be safe? If he was Luna's bodyguard he had to travel with her right? If she left the country he had to follow to some other king's land and act accordingly, hadn't he already escaped this life once before?

If he was now Nathaniel Sol, bodyguard of the princess, then he needed to become a new person. Sure, one could say he already was "reborn" when he arrived here but if he was no longer Nathaniel Walker then he would have to change even more. Even if this change would not be out his own choice it would be necessary, Nathaniel Walker had tossed the chains of riches and unhappiness but Nathaniel Sol would have to be the one to break free from the chains of servitude.

Was freedom this important to him? Was he ready to change who he was to gain back the freedom he found that day he arrived on this planet? Yes, yes he was. He might not show others the change but he was damned if it wasn't gonna affect his mind, the human needed to change if he was to become free once more.

The first step on the list was to train, a lot. He would need the skills required to do his new job and the only way he could get those was by training. The sword gifted to him would do nicely, the blade spoke highly to him, princess Luna's kindness giving him a spark of hope.

Nathaniel's job was to protect the alicorn from danger, and if that meant training hard, not punching Osiris across the face and showing respect to Luna and Rose (along with others that might show him compassion) then he would do so. To be set free he needed to gain their trust, and he could play the long game. The young man had survived half a year in a monster infected forest, this couldn't be much harder, right?

Princess Luna's POV

"YOU WHAT!?" Tia screamed over the sound of arguing nobles, making me fold my ears against my head.

"Sister please let me.." I started only for her to interrupt me.

"You don't hand a possible killer a sword because "It felt like the right thing to do" Luna!" Celestia said and got off her throne, at times I thought her rump would stick to it considering how much cake she ate.

"Sister, I chose Nathaniel to be one of my bodyguards to keep both you and him happy. We have not treated him well since he arrived here and he deserved something for his pain" I told her, not yielding from her glare.

In a few seconds she sighed and nodded slowly, calming down her stressed nerves. I really should send her away to relax some weekend, she's becoming more and more angry with the nobles and the more paperwork that is put next to her throne the more frustrated she becomes. Yet with how stubborn she is that mad mare won't let me help her with the work during the day, it's annoying how hard she pressures herself since Discord.

"I understand what you're saying Luna, but giving him a sword? What if he hurt one of the staff? What if he attacks the guards? We need to keep even more eyes on him if he has a weapon" Tia said and paced around, the nobles in the throne room looked on in interest, probably ready to spread gossip.

"I have put guardian Osiris and Rose in the same room with him and the wolf. He is well watched sister, you need to calm down and relax for a moment. You have put a spell on him that gives you the upper hoof, just be happy with that and know that everything is under control" I said and smiled slightly at the larger alicorn in front of me.

"After everything that has happened I can't relax Luna! I need to make sure nothing happens to Equestria, I need to make sure that nothing happens to you!" Tia said and looked at me with desperation, I could only feel pity for her.

Ever since we lost our brother she had been like this, making sure everything was safe, that nothing could change status quo. It was a futile thing to do, I think even she knew that, but I got her some sleep at night (even if I often found her in the garden in the early mornings). Celestia was being very harsh to Nathaniel, yet I knew exactly why, so at a few key points I had to agree with her.

The human could be dangerous, he could become the next tyrannical ruler (it was very unlikely, but still a possibility) and he might hurt ponies around him. But so could any guard we hired or any new noble family added to Canterlot. We cannot base all of our decisions on fear, as that will lead us down a road without risks or make us stagnant. But until Celestia was ready to let go of that fear and the human had proved himself the servant spell would stay upon him, even if it hurt me to leave him like that.

"Sister, I won't leave you that easily. I can fight and handle myself around the other nations, like the dragon lord's cave system in the badlands. That sword was given to our new servant as a sign of trust, meaning it might be easier for him to return that trust. Yes, giving him a weapon might cause problems, but as a guardian he will need one. There needs to always be a guardian who holds a blade from his liege, as there will always have to be a lord protector of Equestria" I told her, looking deeply into her eyes.

After a few seconds Tia sighed and sat back down on her throne, the nobles still watching us like hawks, ready to say something if it might help them gain favor. My tired sister looked thoughtful for a long time before nodding slowly, raising her hoof and waving out the group of nobles who all groaned in frustration.

"I will trust that you have made the right decision. But if he or anyone else hurts you I will tear them to shreds myself" Tia said, her eyes burning a deep orange for a second.

"I am willing to place my trust in the human with the hope that he will return that trust. It's a gamble but one that may pay off" I said and gave her a light bow before walking away from the throne, leaving Tia to think.

'May you find forgiveness for your own actions soon sister, or the guilt will eat you up from the inside' I thought sadly as I opened the two great doors and closed them behind me, leaving Celestia alone in the room with only her most trusted guards.

Author's Notes:

There we go. Nathaniel was spoon-fed some information by best princess and has now to share his room with two others, what could go wrong

Anyway thanks for reading, I'm really enjoying writing this story so far. Even if it has a slow start
