After we finished our tour around the School for Gifted Unicorns, Twilight, Flash, and I decided to take a break at a nearby restaurant. We all ate there for lunch. Before we decided to walk to the Canterlot Palace, Twilight needed to use the restroom while Flash Sentry stayed on guard outside.
I was just finishing washing my hoofs when all of a sudden, some white unicorn stallion with the blond mane appeared out of nowhere. Judging by the look on his face, he doesn't seem very happy. I did tried to ignore him when I was on my way out of the restaurant but he wouldn't stop getting in my way. The next I know, he was standing in front of me at the exit of the restaurant.
"What do you want?!" I asked the stallion in a startled tone.
The stallion gave me a sneer before answering my question. "I saw you hanging around with that spoiled brat, Twilight Sparkle."
"Yeah, what about it?!" I asked defensively.
"Do you really think you can support Twilight when her changes are going to destroy Equestria and all of its traditions? DO YOU?!" The stallion snarled as he leaned his head towards me in a hostile glare.
"What do even know about Twilight anyway?!" I asked in a offended tone. "I don't see anything wrong with Twilight's democracy or her changes. In fact, she promised to show me how all ponies should be treated equally and fairly regardless of class, family background, and race."
"You have no idea on how high the risks are and how big the threats are when making such royal decisions as this." The stallion protested. "If you think you can help save Equestria through Twilight's reign, you should be ashamed for your overconfidence."
"Why should I??" I snapped at the stallion. I'm starting to think that the stallion I'm talking to is not making any sense. I mean, did he even tried to see Twilight that she's not a threat to him or is he just making stuff up just to make her look bad in front of the public? Before either of us could say another word, all the other ponies started to notice our dispute and stared at us with horror on their faces.
"BLUEBLOOD, THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!" Flash Sentry roared as he appeared behind me. He must've heard the commotion and decided to intercept the stallion that was speaking to me in a very offensive tone. "Get out of here Blueblood or you're going to get a hoof up your flank!!!"
Startled by what Flash Sentry said, Prince Blueblood reluctantly backed away from me but not before he left me behind a threatening speech. "You better not get in our way, young lady." Prince Blueblood hissed. "Or you're going to regret being here in Canterlot!!!"
That was the last thing Prince Blueblood said before he marched out of the restaurant fuming.
"Who does he think he is trying to badmouth Twilight in front of me?!" I asked Flash.
"That was Prince Blueblood. Though, I wish hadn't called him "Prince" anymore. Ever since Princess Twilight came into power as Princess Celestia's co-ruler, he's been harassing her more than once." Flash Sentry answered followed by a little growl. "Oh buck it, he's been doing this even before Twilight's coronation."
"Are you okay, not wanting to pulverize him?" I asked Flash. I might end up encouraging Flash to pick a fight with Blueblood but I can't tell if it's worth punishing Blueblood right now. However, I'm thinking that Prince Blueblood needs to be taught a lesson very soon if he doesn't stop talking down on Twilight like that.
"Starlight, I maybe a pegasus royal guard, but I don't have the right to use any deadly force on ponies that are just being loudmouths. Otherwise, my superiors would either have me disciplined through court-martialing, suspension from the Equestrian military, or by being dishonorably discharged from the service. However, I'm still expected to protect Twilight Sparkle and the other Equestrian Princesses from anything that possess an immediate threat to their very existence. So, if anything happens to Princess Twilight Sparkle because of Blueblood, I'm going to beat the living Tartarus out of him so bad, that he's going to wish that he's never been born." Flash Sentry snarled as clamped on both of his hooves together.
"Alright, I'm done." Twilight appeared behind Flash Sentry. She did noticed that Flash was angry for some reason. "Flash Sentry, is everything okay? I heard a bit of shouting coming from outside the restroom."
Flash turned to look at Twilight before he answered her question. "Everything is fine, your majesty. Though, I had to stop Blueblood from harassing Starlight Glimmer."
I noticed that Twilight did tried to pretend like she doesn't want to worry about Blueblood but I can tell that deep in her eyes, I saw a mask horror and anger on her face. I don't really believe that Twilight is a threat to me. Of course, she was a threat when she tried to ruin my happiness that I once had when I took over the town of former equals. However, everything that I did back there was a 100% wrong and I had no excuse for all the sins that I caused in front of Twilight, her friends, or the rest of the town's inhabitants. In fact, Twilight did told me that Sunset Shimmer's story and Discord's story, before their reformation, was pretty similar to my story. We all make mistakes, yet it's never too late to start all over again. In fact, the real reason why Sunset, Discord, and I were evil back then was because we completely lost our way and deliberately went down a path that was consequently regrettable, at least Twilight did the right thing for us. That's all in the past. So, in return, we all still wanted to support Princess Twilight because she helped us find a different path that provides good faith to our well-being.
"Is every pony ready to head to Canterlot Castle?" Twilight asked as I snapped out of my past history.
"Ready when you are, your highness." Flash acknowledge as he bowed down to Twilight.
"I'm ready to go Twilight." I responded in a nervous tone. I'm still shaken by what Prince Blueblood said to me before Flash intervened. I hope he doesn't show up again. If he does, I'll knock some sense into him. I don't know why, but for some reason, I've got a very bad feeling about this. Though, I just hope Blueblood's threat is just an empty lie. Who knows?
