"The fuck do you mean there's nothing there!?" you shouted, looking at Chitin angrily as he inspected your neck.

"I thought I was rather clear with my explanation. There are no wounds, puncture marks, anything that would indicate you've been bitten," Chitin replied, taking a step back and turning to Chrysalis and Vespa, the former looking at you with mild amusement and the latter stoic professionalism.

After the paralysis finally wore off, you stormed into the throne room and demanded that Chitin be brought forth to fix your wounds and make sure you didn't have any crazy side effects, like permanent dick limpness, which was quickly proven to not be a problem for you as Chrysalis made a comment about how she wouldn't be able to live without your hard cock, which sure enough got you erect. Chrysalis and Vespa stood back while Chitin had inspected you upon your throne, which you were wondering about since Chrysalis wanted you to join her on her throne now.

"But she bit me! She made me go limp and let larvae crawl all over me, and in some cases in me! I can still feel Hot Dog on my tongue!" you shouted, trying to feel for the wound you knew had to be there, but coming up with nothing.

Walking toward you slowly, a slight smile on her face, Chrysalis said "My sweet Anon, I'm well aware that Vespa bit you. She has the most powerful muscle relaxing venom in the hive, with the favorable side effect of leaving no traces of injection. It's what made her one of my most capable kidnappers in the field... also, Hot Dog?"

"He tasted like a hot dog, I named him Hot Dog, that's a royal decree," you stated, crossing your arms over your chest to show how firm you were about that.

"You can't make royal decrees yet," Vespa pointed out.

You stuck your tongue out at the tall, yet still shorter than you, Changeling, then looked back to Chrysalis. "So if you knew she bit me, why is she not in a pillory right now? She should have her head bound while I dickslap her! Face the fury of Vlad the Impaler!... or should it be Vlad the Slapper? I dunno, still gotta workshop that one," you considered, surprised in yourself for not having a proper name for your penis when it came to cockslapping.

"First, nopony will get to touch your penis but me, not even for the sake of a punishment," Chrysalis declared, giving you a firm look that said she basically owned your cock, but more so in the way that said she expected you to be faithful. "Second, her venom is but a part of the reason I chose Vespa to look after you. With your current diet and your persistent erections, I was afraid that maybe you'd be facing an excess of... muscle tension. I believed that if it were ever necessary, Vespa could provide you with some of her venom to relax your body. I am aware of how sensitive and... large a target your stallionhood is when you're aroused," Chrysalis explained, knowing how to make a point of why giving you a guard that would bite you wouldn't be the end of the world. Curse her wonderful silver tongue, pleasing your ego in so many ways.

"Doesn't explain why she had to bite me except being petty," you grumbled, turning your head away like a petulant child.

"No... no it doesn't," Chrysalis admitted, turning to face the elite guard. "Vespa, I knew at some point you were likely to use that to your advantage. As much as I love Anon, I am aware of the effect he has on my elites, especially those that do not see his charm as I do. I'm well aware of how Apocrita bit him earlier in their tenure together," the Changeling Queen stated, her words icy cold as she was instilling a sense of dread in Vespa over her actions, but that didn't bother you.

Chrysalis knew for a fact that Ap bit you, despite her apparent claim that she had accepted your lie. Not that it was the most complicated lie in the world, but it meant that she really couldn't blame Vespa, whose bite wasn't as bad damage wise Ap's, without casting blame on the cocooned guard as well. Maybe you were overthinking things, but if you leaned too much into it, Chrysalis might recognize your bias toward Ap, which would lead to some other issues.

Vespa's ears folded back as she cast her good eye down on the ground in shame. "I apologize, Queen Chrysalis... and soon to be King Anon. I surrendered myself to a moment of weakness that I do not have the right to. Please, punish me however you see fit. If need be, I will gladly offer my own head for you to feast upon, may it bring you the energy and nutrients you need to fuel your love making," Vespa apologized, not even really sounding regretful of her actions, but the fact she lowered head like someone was about to lop it off threw you for a loop.

"Jesus Christ, I don't want you dead, just punished a little. It's like Chrysalis said, Ap did it before, she just didn't paralyze me and unintentionally turn me onto the sweet, delicious meaty taste of Changeling larva," you grunted, hopping off of your throne and walking forward, looking between the elite and Chrysalis.

"You're most kind Anon. As royalty, any such slight should be grounds for instant execution, but since we have not wed yet, I suppose we can let this slip and pass off a less severe punishment," Chrysalis stated, extending her wing so that she could gently caress your arm with it. Looking back to Vespa, she flicked her tongue out, eyes narrowing with as she regarded her. "Honestly though, I should have known you'd do something like that so soon after I entrusted my sweet Anon to you. It would explain why Apocrita had the audacity to do the same."

You lifted your brow in confusion at Chrysalis' remark. "What's that supposed to mean? Why would Ap biting me have anything to do with her?" you asked, looking down at the still bowing Changeling.

"Ah, I forgot to mention it before, but didn't want to make it seem like I looked down on Apocrita," Chrysalis realized, shaking her head at her own apparent faux pas. "You see, while Apocrita is indeed a valiant elite guard, I do have quite a few of them. What made her stand out above all the others was that she comes from a line of my absolute most loyal and capable elites."

"... no... no fucking way," you muttered as you started to assemble the pieces.

Smiling in open amusement at your realization, Chrysalis lifted a hoof to raise up Vespa's head, allowing you to see her eyes once more. "Anon, allow me to reintroduce Vespa, elite guard and mother of Apocrita."

As Vespa stared at you with her good eye and Chrysalis seemed to almost shine with the enjoyment of surprising you with such a revelation, you openly gaped, lips smacking together a few times and only getting out a few guttural groans as you attempted to speak. It felt like your throat was swelling shut as you tried to process this new information. This was fucking you up. Bad. You needed to recover and formulate... a plan? Why? She was Ap's mom, that's all. But you needed to consider what this meant still.

Looking around the room for something, you remembered that Chitin was still there. Quickly, you grabbed the Changeling around the midsection, tucking him under your arm like a thing of baggage, then turned and ran for the throne room door. "Going to take a shit, bringing Chitin for company, boys only!" you shouted behind you, leaving Chrysalis and Vespa looking at you in confusion.

Before you exited the room, you could hear Vespa remark "Stallions, always going to the bathroom together."

"What the fuck am I supposed to do, Chitin? I didn't know that was Ap's mom. Hell, I thought Ap's mom was, like... dead or something, I don't know," you groaned, holding your head in your hands. You weren't supposed to give a shit about stuff like this, but considering Ap actually meant something to you, it did!

"Apocrita is a fairly young elite guard, it would stand to reason that her mother would be alive. In fact, her grandmother, Vespidae, would still be alive had she not taken on that assignment to steal dragon eggs. She was caught and executed by the Dragon Lord himself," Chitin stated, surprising you with the level of insight he had on Ap's family history. Noticing the curious look on your face, Chitin added "As stated, Apocrita has one of the most well known lineages. While many Changelings may go their entire lives without knowing anything of their parenthood, Apocrita has a noticeable family history of elites. Some expected Queen Chrysalis to end the bloodline to prevent a potential rival, but they are also one of the most loyal of them all."

"How loyal are we talking here? Cause, like, I don't want to fuck with Ap's mom... unless it's fucking her mom, cause now she's moving into potential MILF status here, but if she's loyal to Chrysalis, how's that going to play out with Ap potentially becoming a queen herself?" you asked, furrowing your brow in concentration and concern.

A look of unease overcame Chitin as he looked away from you, which was already a bad sign. "Tradition indicates that Changelings will not interfere in a duel of queens, it proves an insult to either to indicate that they would need help. That does not qualify for finding and destroying queen cocoons. On those grounds alone, so long as Vespa does not find out about the cocoon, she will not interfere," he stated, although you could tell by his tone that he seemed to be forcing that out as the good thing.

"... and if she finds out about the cocoon?"

Sighing, Chitin answered "She'll destroy it without question. Apocrita had brother in her brood that was also unique and was becoming an elite. He failed a mission that would have granted the hive absolute control over a new pony settlement. For his failure, Chrysalis ordered his execution. Vespa, without being asked, took on the role of executioner to reclaim the honor she felt her offspring had besmirched for failing her queen so gravely. It stands to reason she would do the same to Apocrita."

Groaning once more, you let your head fall into your hands. "We're fucked. We're so royally fucked," you moaned.

"You have been, yes. Although I do not see the full scale of why this matters so much, when we could instead carry on like nothing has changed," Chitin stated, tilting his head curiously. Then he added "Or why we had to have this discussion in your room... with you on the toilet."

After some bitching, you had gotten Chrysalis to transform the hole in your floor that served as your restroom into an actual toilet, complete with some sort of swamp flower underlining the lid that masked the scent of your excrement. It was upon this very toilet right now that you were seated, pants around your ankles with Chitin staring at you.

"Because I said I was going to take a shit. I've done enough lying as of late that I'd like to tell the truth whenever possible," you replied, finally standing up to begin wiping, courtesy of some toilet paper stolen from the ponies. "And we're fucked because if this is really Ap's mom, then surely she'll recognize how unusual it is for her to be missing, or even your behavior once you take on the role again."

"You... you seem to be overestimating the maternal instinct that Vespa has for her offspring. To her, they were always extensions of herself that existed to serve Queen Chrysalis and the hive as a whole. She probably has more knowledge of her own daughter as her teacher than as her mother, although admittedly I did see her smile once when Apocrita was raised to the rank of elite guard, with her claiming that she was pleased to have successfully brought forth a worthy successor," Chitin explained, now starting to tick you off a bit with all the information he knew.

"How do you know so much about Ap and her family? You two a thing once? You have feelings for her? Bitch, do we need to fight!? Let's take this outside!" you declared, yanking your pants back up as you let yourself get angry.

Shaking his head, Chitin took your shouting in stride and replied "I know about her primarily because of her mother. I was the one that treated her eye when it went blind. It's actually a fairly interesting case, you see-"

Before Chitin could continue, there was a knocking on the room door. "Anon, Chitin, are you two finished in there? Queen Chrysalis wishes to discuss the terms of my punishment with you so that you may find them to your liking," Vespa said through the door.

You panicked for a moment, looking up at the poorly hidden cocoon hanging in the corner of your room. If the door opened, she wouldn't immediately see it, but you didn't want to take that chance. Quickly rushing over to the door, you opened it just barely enough so that you could get through sideways, only to forget you still had one of those magic boners and hit it against the door. You quickly fell to the floor, holding yourself as a silent scream left you.

Unfortunately, the maneuver had knocked the door open completely, sending it bouncing against the wall. Fortunately, Vespa's attention fell solely to you, giving Chitin just the time needed to run over and shut the door, staying inside the room while you and your new guard remained outside of it.

Vespa's eye flicked toward the door, a slight frown appearing on her muzzle. "Chitin, get out here and attend to Anon, he appears to have hurt his stallionhood. I will not disappoint Queen Chrysalis again with this injury," Vespa commanded, her tone giving no room for argument.

"I'm good," you replied weakly, your voice escaping like air from a pinched balloon. "Just kiss it and make it better."

"I will not do that. Queen Chrysalis has made it explicitly clear that your genitals are for her alone to touch," Vespa declined, her eye narrowing at you. "And even if she was to permit such a thing, I would refrain from touching you in any such way."

Your ego was wounded now, in more ways than one. You looked up at the elite guard, pouting and giving your best puppy dog eyes, trying to convince her otherwise... wait, was this the best idea? Ignoring the fact Chrysalis would be furious, this was also Ap's mom. She probably wouldn't be happy if you were trying to get her mom to touch your dick... but that's what made it all the more appealing.

Perhaps for the better, Vespa ignored your outstretched lower lip, grabbing you by the collar with her mouth, then flipping you with astounding grace onto her back. "We will go to Queen Chrysalis first. If she decides such situations were ever permissible, then I may reconsider, but for now, even thinking about such things are off limits. We clear?" she warned you, apparently budging minutely on the situation.

"Deal... now please... my penis hurts," you whined as Vespa carried you off. This was going to get even more complicated.

Author's Notes:

What a twist!... maybe, we'll see how you all react to this. Honestly, the reaction to Vespa biting Anon was far more... aggressive than I had expected, especially since Ap started off somewhat the same way. And now you know why. So enjoy wrapping your minds around this revelation and what it means for Anon.
