The Disgruntled Butler and Other Random Tales

THE BUTLER №5

Five a.m., time to get up.

As was typical, I awoke when the alarm started to ring, I tried to reach over to turn it off but I suddenly felt something on my chest. I looked down to see a most adorable sight; little miss Silver Spoon quietly sleeping, her head rested on my chest. She looked so peaceful.

"Mmm....five more minutes hun." she mumbled as her body reflexively twitched.

"HUN?!" I scream to myself. My goodness, this filly is so not worth going to jail for I tell you that. I gently and slowly managed to get the gray filly off of me without disturbing her and got out of bed to get myself dressed and ready to do my assigned morning chores.

I trotted over to the bathroom and turned on the water. Once I was certain that the temperature was at my favorite place, I happily got in and let the nice warm water run down my back and mane. "Hmmm...that feels nice..." I needed that relief from all the stress Miss Tiara has been giving me recently. My mind started to wander.



I happily sat on the living room couch surrounded by two of the most gorgeous mares in the world, happily chatting it up with both of them.

"So ladies, who here is ready to receive some 'fish and finger pies' if I say so myself." I gave a smirked to them. The mares were Neighponese twins.

One had "街" as a cutie mark while the other has "娼". "Oh mister Alistair, you are so dreamy and sexy. 私は喜んであなたが私の猫詰め掛けできるようになる!"

"Don't mind if I do." I laughed.

"あなたはその後、その後、私の猫をなめることはできますか!" exclaimed the other twin as she playfully pouted.

"Now, now ladies, there's plenty of Alistair for both of you."

"The entire stairwell is cleaned master." interrupted my butler Filthy Rich as he walked into the room.

"Good, now go clean the pool. Chop chop!" I clap my hooves to signify that he should start immediately. "Oh, and I want your daughter here to trim my hooves and then lick them clean."

"Yes master." Filthy bowed to me before he walked off.

Soon, a sad and miserable looking Diamond Tiara walked in with a hoof filer and bucket. "You asked for me master?"

"Hooves, filed and trimmed. Followed by a good licking afterwards." I instructed.

"Yes master." she walked up to me and started to work on the back left hoof.

"Oh, and clean the couch once me and the girls are done with it okay?"

"Yes master."



"MISTER BUTLER?!" a voice suddenly snapped me out of my fantasy. I quickly pulled back the shower curtains to see who it is that was talking.

"What is it? I'm a bit busy-" to my horror, I saw Silver Spoon before me.

"What's that big thing between your hind legs?" she asked me with a mixture of shock and curiosity.

"What thing-?" I quickly realized what she was talking about. I blushed and quickly closed the shower curtains between us. "Can you please get out so I can finish!" I order.

"But-"

"NOW!"

"Oh...okay..." Miss Spoon sheepishly walked out of my bathroom and closed the door.

Those two fillies will be the death of me, I swear.

After the shower, I got myself dressed and ready to face another annoying day with the family. "May this day be an improvement over yesterday." I mumble to myself.


"Oh Alistair!" announced Filthy Rich as he arrived home from work early.

"Yes Mr. Rich?" I asked from the kitchen as I started to cook dinner.

"Change of plans, I have invited some very important business executives from the Griffin Empire for dinner, so two extra place settings and some Griffin cuisine will be nice." he told me.

"Oh, that reminds me, Miss Tiara will be having dinner over at her friend's house for tonight." I share with him.

"So one extra place setting then, good, now I'll be off getting ready, mind shopping for the ingredients? I'll keep the executives busy until your return." he offered to me.

"But sir, it is nearly impossible to get meat products in Ponyville, I'll need to travel to Canterlot and that could take an entire day."

"Damn it! I should've planned this out further ahead, but what are you going to feed them? Ninety percent of their meals have some kind of meat in it!" Mr. Rich looked like he was about to start to panic.

"Don't worry, I know how to cook high protein meatless meals, just leave it all to me Mr. Rich." I assured him.

"Okay," he breathed a sigh of relief. "you have three hours before dinner is served, good luck." and with that, he walked out of the kitchen as he left me to do my cooking.


Dinner with Griffin executives

Appetizer: Lentil salad

Main course: Falafel

Dessert: Yogurt Ice Cream

Champagne

"Anyways, me and my associate Leto are here to finalize the our business deal with the company you represent, and we heard you are one of the best corporate lawyers in all of Equestria, and this deal will bring us Griffins and Ponies economically closer together." explained the more senior Griffin of the two. He looked middle aged and wore a fancy business suit.

"Yes Mr. Kronos, I know things have been financially rocky since the recent inflation crisis started in your land several years ago." said Mr. Rich.

"Rocky nothing! It took a barrel full of our currency just to buy a single pork lion. Our cubs were using bundles of them as construction blocks!" clarified the Griffin.

"Thank goodness this started to stabilize since we started to temporarily use the Equestrian Bit, seeing as how the Bit is the most stable and most valuable currency on the planet." chimed in Leto, a younger female Griffin.

"But we can't use it forever, our ruler is calling our use of a foreign currency, especially one belonging to a kingdom we have an uneasy at best relationship with a national embarrassment." continued Kronos.

I walked in with a bottle of champagne to refill their glasses. "Refills?" I offer then.

"Ah, I could use some." smiled Kronos as he lets me pour his drink.

"Oh...uh...the same here." nervously announced Leto. She starred at me the entire time as I poured her drink. I just finished up and picked up any of the dirty plates from off the table.

"I'll come back with the dessert." I announce.

"Mmm...delicious." smiled Mr. Rich.

"So...uh...he's pretty young for a butler." nervously began the female griffin.

"I know, but it serves as a nice contrast to our old one," stated Mr. Rich. "anyways, what can the company that I represent do for your company?"

"Your desserts are ready." I announce as I walk in pushing a cart with yogurt ice cream glasses on it. "One for each."

"Yogurt is a very popular dessert in the Griffin empire." stated Leto.

"Takes me back to my childhood." smiled Kronos as both griffins took their glasses and started to eat.

Once everyone got their glass, I took away the dirty plates and the carts and walked back to the kitchen.


As the night wore on, both Mr. Rich and Mr. Kronos retired to the study to talk about economics and politics. Ms. Leto sat by-herself in the living room, Griffin females are not expected to participate in after-dinner socializing with other males. She looked bored where she sat. "Need anything ma'am?" I asked her as I walked in.

"Oh, nothing, I'm used to waiting for my husband to finish." she told me. Although she looked bored and disappointed.

"Well, if there is anything, all you need to do is ask." I offer her.

"Well...can I ask you a question?" she started.

"What?"

"Can you do other things besides cook and clean?" she asked me nervously.

"What do you mean?" I was suspicious.

"Like, I don't know, give a client in need some release-" before she could complete her request, Mr. Rich and Mr. Kronos walked out of the study.

"Well, it was nice being here, but it is getting late, do this again after the deal is finalized?" said a smiling Kronos to Mr. Rich.

"I would be honored too." smiled Mr. Rich.

They both happily waved each other goodbye. "Come along Leto." said the griffin male.

Leto sighed. "Yes Kronos." she looked back to me with a look of longing. "I'm coming."

They both left out the front door and the place was quiet again.

"That went rather well." smiled a confident Mr. Rich. "So glad I'm still at the top of my game." he confidently returned back to the study to finish off some work.

At least this day went rather well. But little did I know, but Leto will bring me problems in the future, but that's for another time.
