My Little Pony: Frost Falls

Chapter 116 The unclear future

Twilight Sparkle and her friends are walking on the streets of the Crystal Empire.

Sui Long said as he walked: "It seems like just yesterday that I saved this place from the danger of destruction. Hey! You all still remember, right?" He said, just leaning on the hero's memorial statue made of crystal.

Rainbow Dash was flying in the air: "You said this almost fifteen times on the train here—"

Zhenqi said: "Yes, and we don't want to hear about your great achievements."

Rainbow Dash chuckled twice: "I understand."

Twilight Yue walked in the front, looking at the familiar castle in front of her, she sighed inaudibly.

She has something on her mind recently, but she feels that telling her friends will make a fuss out of a molehill.

I hope Shuangjiang is willing to listen to me.

Friends had already passed over the subject of Spike and started talking about other things. For example, the purpose of Twilight Joy coming to the Crystal Empire this time.

"I'm glad you all want to come, but I don't think there's much to see. I think it's just a smile and a wave to welcome the important guests -"

"Yeah, but you'll smile and wave like a princess!"

Applejack asked Rarity, "What's the difference between not smiling and waving like a princess?"

Twilight Yue sighed: "No difference."

The friends all realized something was wrong, looked at each other and asked Rourou: "What's wrong, Twilight?"

Pinkie Qi jumped up and patted her: "Why are you so embarrassed!"

Twilight Yue rubbed her face involuntarily, it hurt a little. She was so confused during this period that she couldn't see where she was coming from.

When friends saw that Twilight Yue was not in the right state, they all showed very concerned eyes.

Twilight thought, maybe she could tell her friends.

"Actually, I've been feeling a little confused about everything lately. Compared with becoming a princess, my contribution doesn't seem that big..."

Applejack said, "You are being stupid. You are very important to Equestrian! And to us too."

Rouju said: "If the Universe Princess didn't think so, she wouldn't have let you come today."

Twilight thought for a while, cheered up and smiled: "Maybe you are right."

"Of course we're right - now we have to go quickly. If you're late for the royal welcome, you'll look less important."

Zhenqi quickly came over and pushed Twilight forward.

The castle was getting closer and closer, and Twilight Yue felt inexplicably nervous.

"Dudududu——" The Royal Guards blew the horn, and Vice Captain Akun solemnly announced: "The Duke and Duchess of Maritonia have arrived——"

Four distinguished guests came forward. The Duke looked serious, while the Duchess had a faint smile.

Frostbite, followed by the space princesses Moon Princess and Cadance Princess, opened their wings and greeted them. Twilight Sparkle appeared from the castle terrace, used magic to unfurl the Maritonian banner, and smiled and waved to the guests.

The Duke and Duchess came and curtsied. The princesses nodded in welcome, turned around and led the guests into the castle.

Until their figures disappeared, Twilight just smiled and waved.

Spike Dragon didn't know why, and suddenly asked: "Is this it? Is this why the Princess of the Universe called you all the way to the Crystal Empire?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yue lowered her eyes and lowered her head, the expression on her face unclear.

Upon seeing this, Suilong quickly changed his words: "Uh, I mean... wow, very graceful! Very important! - Ouch!"

Applejack slapped Spike mercilessly.

The outspoken dragon!

The Duke's family all entered the conference room, and the princesses also entered the meeting - except Twilight.

The Duke's explanation for this was that he hoped that as few members as possible would be present at the meeting, so that the contents of the meeting could be kept confidential and the security would be greater.

It was already dark, and Twilight was lingering at the door of the conference room. After finally waiting until the door opened, the Duke and Duchess came out, and Twilight stepped forward and bowed.

The Duke nodded, and then said seriously: "Your Royal Highness, thank you for understanding that for security reasons, we have to ask that the number of participants in the secret meeting be as small as possible."

"Of course."

After leaving these words, the Duke and Duchess left along the corridor. Twilight watched them leave, and after a while, the other princesses came out.

Twilight asked: "Is there anything else you need my help with this time to welcome the guests?"

"Sorry Twilight, their visit is over."

"Oh……"

Princess Moon expressed concern: "What's wrong with you?"

"I just don't understand why I am asked to come. Isn't it enough to have the four of you? And the Royal Guards can also spread their welcome?"

The Universe Princess explained: "The five princesses all attended to welcome them to let the guests know that the empire attaches great importance to their visit."

Frost comes over and hugs Twilight: "And there's still a chance for us to get together!" For Princess Yinyun, it's still a good opportunity to see her other favorite little sister.

Twilight Yue raised her eyes: "Frost, I'm glad to see you too, uh, all of you!"

Her smile appeared for a moment and then gradually disappeared. Shuangjiang realized something was wrong, raised her chin and looked carefully: "Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

"I...I just thought that the Moon Princess will raise the moon, the Universe Princess will raise the sun, and you, Shuangjiang, you are the Crystal Princess, guarding the Crystal Empire together with Princess Yinyun! All I have to do, it seems, is Smile and wave…”

Zi Yue turned around and walked out, exuding a depressed aura.

Shuangjiang looked at the three princesses behind him as if asking for help. Princess Universe nodded and followed them first.

Twilight Joy came to the castle terrace again, sat down and leaned her upper body on the railing. The night wind blew, and the thoughts in my heart became more and more confusing.

[It’s not that I’m not grateful, everything I get

The journey I took and what I learned on the journey

I don't know where to go now

What exactly is my mission?

I don't know how to move towards a future I can't see

I have a pair of wings and I wear a crown

I'm a princess, that's right

But I still can't see clearly

what on earth should i do

I want to have a goal

want to do my best

I want to do my best, I want to be part of the plan]

"Twilight Yue..." I never knew you were so confused. I have always been secretly happy that you can become a princess, so that we can be together for a long time.

But I have never thought about your thoughts, whether you are willing to be this princess or not.

Princess Universe showed distress in her eyes and stepped forward to put her arm around Twilight Yue's shoulders.

【Your fate is undecided

Sometimes it's hard to accept

But every decision you make

will make the future clearer and clearer

Patience is never easy

I understand you want more

I know how hard it is to wait to spread your wings and fly -

But there must be a reason why you're standing here

You are talented and powerful

The crown is on your head because it belongs to you
