Fear not, dear sir! I come with a review! :twilightsmile:
The bad first......

This had not been the first time either. And it seemed like it usually happened as a mirror result of the Princess' anxiety and worry.

You are not worthy to wear that crown, Twilight. You never have. And you never will.

I am 90% sure you can't start a sentence with "and" so you should either combine or change these sentences.

The window's, he assumed, must've been beaten open during the...difference of royal opinions.

No 's just s, window is not possessive.

Strong Arm assumed it was probably due to completing the grueling physical exam ahead of his peers with record performance that warranted such a rapid climb in rank. But, Strong Arm couldn't complain; except for the ridiculous purple armor he had been given for his new position.

To words DE SCRIBE I wanted to know what KIND of grueling exam and how embarrassing the armor looked. For color you could say something like "the armor was a deep, rich purple that Strong Arm could only assume matched the coat of Princess Sparkle" see how much better it sounds than "the purple armor" for all we (the readers) know it could be lilac or close to black.

Sir, is there a problem sir?"

You probably don't need a "sir" at the end unless that's what you wanted in which case you need a comma before it.

Strong Arm had to move fast in order to keep from being hit.

This sentence doesn't fit with the rest of the paragraph. You could say something like "Strong Arm was evading like a manic trying to avoid the relentless of rain of wasted taxpayers money. (this particular sentence is a bit redundant but hopefully you see what I mean).
---------------------
Now for the good.........
1. I detected no spelling errors.
2. I just realized something, you never said what color Strong Arm is, was that intentional?
3. Your writing is smooth and easy to read. (aside from aforementioned sentences)

And now... the moment you have all been waiting for....... THE FINAL SCORE
:derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2: out of
:derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2::derpytongue2:

Much appreciated good sir! I'll make corrections...when I have more time :fluttershysad:
But, thank you for the critique, as always :twilightsmile:

Essentially everything for the above review seems to fix some small errors I noticed. Here's another one.

"She suddenly stopped. The complete wreckage outside of the room littered the hallway of the castle. Furniture, books,

even the remains of a tapestry were scattered like leaves in a storm. They had been thrown in Twilight's anger, aimed at the object of her distress. "

Uneven use of the enter key. Prematurely hitting enter intensifies. :derpytongue2:

Now, as far as the actual story goes, I like it. It seems like there's not a lot of descriptive language, though, which can throw some people off with how eloquent and verbose your sentences tend to be. It's a lot of words for such little action. Also, never use a big word where a diminutive one will suffice. :pinkiesmile:

Now, I can also say that it seemed to me like you're using too many paragraphs, or that your paragraphs are really, really short. Maybe some more descriptive language would help fix that. :twilightsmile:

Plot and story wise, Twilight definitely has a nice plot. Story wise, I'm interested to see what you do here, or what that argument was about. I would continue writing this story. it has a lot of potential, and I know you'll turn it into something good

I'd write a more in depth review, but we're all tired and worn out from the parade, bro.

8/10, would read again.
