33 BNS Chapter 33 - Princess Intentions

Going outside the town hall, Alan noticed that it had already become considerably dark, which meant it was time for him to return home, as most likely that's where the Moon will be waiting for him. 

As he was turning around, he heard that someone else had opened the door behind him and left the town hall as well. Turning back, he realized it was Maud. Moreover, her eyes sparkled with excitement. Blinking in surprise, Alan said: 

"Wow, so you were really there the whole time?" 

The grey mare nodded and replied: 

"Mhm. Your performance was... enthralling," Maud replied in her monotone style, flashing a small, barely noticeable smile.

"Wow," Alan scratched his head, "I mean, I wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings, but it's still amazing that neither me nor Meyer noticed you." 

"As I said before, I'm good at being inconspicuous," Maud replied with the same slight smile and monotone speech. 

Catching up with Alan, Maud walked with him towards their home. As they walked, with the lamps gradually lighting up around them, Maud spoke up: "So, about the mayor," Maud caught Alan's attention. "Will she become our new... member of the herd?" 

"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how this works or what we're doing," Alan looked slightly unsure saying this. "I never had any problems with girls before. I hooked up with them sometimes, but I never wanted to build anything serious with them. And now, I met you." 

Alan looked at the gray mare whose turquoise eyes seemed to sparkle as she waited for his words.

"My circumstances were frankly unusual at that time, and I'm surprised at how quickly we got close, but..." Alan continued to look Maud in the eyes, maintaining a serious look. "This is the first time, despite such a short acquaintance with a girl, that I really want things to be serious between us, and strangely enough, forever."

Hearing these words, Maud really felt warmth in her chest, filling her up to her hooves. They both already felt something similar. And it was the first time when one of them spoke it out loud.

Smiling with an unusual and warm smile, Maud responded: "I agree... I also want our relationship to last as long as we do," watching the evening empty park of Ponyville, she raised her gaze to the starry sky and continued, "I'll be honest. I don't know much about relationships. But what I'm sure about is that during this short time I've learned so much new about myself that I think I would have never discovered if I met someone else. It was truly an exciting realization."

Returning her gaze to Alan, Maud continued with a light smile: "That's why I look forward to the mares gathering around you, sensing the taste of a real stallion, themselves building something like a real herd around us. Watching this process, and even more so, influencing it, is... exciting me to the core," at these words, Maud's smile seemed extremely seductive, and her face lit up with a noticeable blush.

Alan was glad that there was no one else in the park at that time. If anyone had seen her face right now, they would have thought something strange. Nonetheless, upon hearing the mare's confession, Alan couldn't help but smile, knowing they both felt something similar. Unable to resist, Alan pulled Maud into his embrace and said:

"You know, I think everything will be okay with us. We'll find out what our desires will turn into in the future, and we'll do it while being next to each other. Always."

"Always," Maud repeated with a smile.

With these words, Maud and Alan fuse in a warm and gentle kiss, as if washing away all their hesitation, fears, and doubts, giving themselves over to the fate that awaits them in the future.

Finishing the kiss, they only smiled at each other and, side by side, headed towards Maud's cave. Thinking about the cave, Alan remembered something and said:

"By the way, after I sell my first bracelets, I'm thinking of buying a house. A big house."

"I'm afraid that while the cave is spacious enough, it isn't suitable for housing a large number of ponies. And if in the future our large family, or, as the ponies of the past called it, the "herd", really gathers, then we will need a bigger house."

"Hmm... I understand," Maud nodded in a monotone voice, "then we'll need a huge mansion with individually created and furnished rooms."

As Alan listened to her suggestion, he was slightly taken aback, thinking: 

«I was thinking of a bigger house, but definitely not a mansion. How big does she think our family or this herd will become?»

After some time, the couple finally reached the entrance to the cave. Upon entering, Alan realized that Luna was still not there. Therefore, he decided to finally relax on the couch, snuggling with Maud and talking with her about their future magical bracelet business.

As they talked, Maud absentmindedly stroked Alan's chest with her hoof, gradually lowering it lower and lower. Of course, Alan couldn't help but notice, so he asked with a grin:

"It looks like my performance with Mayer is really not letting you go."

Burying her stallion's neck, Maud inhaled deeply, as if it were the scent of flowers, and exhaling, she answered languidly:

"Not quite," the mare threw her right hind leg over Alan's hips, straddling him in the process, "even without that wild sight. When I'm with you, I'm always on edge. And the knowledge of your capabilities, allows my mind and body not to restrain myself next to you. It wasn't until I met you that I realized how much mares really hold themselves back in the presence of stallions. I don't even want to think what would have happened to me if I hadn't met you.

Saying this, she rubbed her pussy against Alan's rod, which began to strain. Having received a wave of excitement rolling over him, Alan still retained some calmness, answering her:

"Damn, Maud, if you keep going like this, I won't be able to contain myself. Don't forget that any minute now, Princess Luna is due to appear."

Hearing his warning, Maud only smirked and replied:

"Don't worry, I'm already prepared," with that, the bracelet on her hoof lit up, levitating the artificial horn hidden under the sofa, which immediately landed on her head, "now I'm more confident in discussing our future with her."

Alan was a little confused, looking at her with an uncomprehending look. Therefore he asked:

"Why do you need a horn? We are planning a normal conversation, not a war."

Turning her head a little to the side, Maud closed her eyes, and answered:

"You might have a conversation with her as well. But me and her…" Maud didn't finish her sentence, letting her answer hang in the air.

Alan still did not understand what she meant, but now he began to worry that nothing dangerous would happen. Putting a hoof on her face, and returning her gaze to himself, Alan said:

"Listen, I don't know what you're planning, but please don't try to escalate the situation. Starting a conflict with the Alicorn, and besides the princess, is not the best idea. I'm worried about you, you know."

Smiling, Maud joined their lips in a tender kiss, gently stroking her stallion's tongue, after which she pulled away from him with a thin strip of saliva, and answered:

Don't worry, I'm not going to aggravate anything. It all depends on the princess herself. I'm just going to fight for my position in our future hierarchy.

Alan raised an eyebrow as he answered:

"What posi… wait…" Alan finally understood something, "You don't think Princess Luna would want to be part of this herd family of ours, do you?"

For the first time in their entire relationship, Maud looked at Alan as if he had said the most stupid thing of all. From this look of hers, Alan somehow even hesitated, not understanding why she was looking at him like that. Therefore he said:

"Well… you know…" Alan hadn't felt like a fool for a long time, making up excuses for his words, "she just wanted to know if I was really capable of what I was capable of, and, well… I just don't think that the ' princess herself ' will want to participate with us in something more than just stress relief.

Raising an eyebrow, Maud looked at Alan for the first time with a certain cheerful note, and asked:

"Do you think she would let her throat be fucked in front of strangers if she wasn't ready to plunge into all this with her head? Literally."

Looking away uncertainly, Alan replied:

"Uh… maybe?"

Once again receiving a look from Maud ala "are you serious?", Alan frowned, and said:

"Well, isn't it obvious that with such debauchery, anyone will lose control? So I'm still not sure if she's really going to want to be involved in this whole herd-family situation, or whatever it is."

Shaking her head, Maud only sighed, and with a slight smile, monotonously replied:

"Well, then you will see for yourself when Princess Luna arrives."

"See what?"

An echoing voice from nowhere, and then a subsequent flash of magic, drew the embracing couple away from each other. When they looked to the side, they saw Luna looking at them with genuine interest.

Maud, who was about to answer her question, was stopped by the hoof of Alan, who looked at the royal mare, and answered instead of his girlfriend:

"We were just arguing about the topic of our future conversation with you, that's all."

"Oh really?" Luna said this with a slight smile, since at the moment, Alan's position with Maud was far from being the most suitable for arguing and talking. Considering that the gray mare pressed her pussy against the tense trunk of the blue stallion.

Also noticing the artificial horn on the gray mare's head, Luna couldn't help but think:

"Do they role-play?"

Understanding where the princess is looking. Alan quickly removed Maud from himself, and covering his boner, he began to mentally calm himself, rejoicing that the recent disputes had already helped to bring down the mood.

Laughing at his actions, Luna said:

"So I take it you're ready for our tête-à-tête, aren't you?" then she shifted her gaze to Maud, "Same question for you."

Maud nodded first and answered:

"Definitely. Moreover, I would like to communicate with you first."

"Even so?" Luna raised an eyebrow, looking at the gray mare in surprise, but not noticing any suggestive emotions on her "expressive" face, the royal mare nodded, "So be it, then first WE will make time for you," in a slightly more formal tone, Luna replied to Maud.

"Uh-huh," Maud nodded, after which she got up from the sofa, "then, please follow me."

With these words, both mares threw two different but similar looks at Alan, and went off towards another spacious cave so that they could not be heard.

Along the way, Maud really realized that the need for a normal house with rooms is indeed an important task that will need to be addressed in the near future. She was sure the Mayor mare would be more than happy to help.

* * * * *

Entering another cave room, Maud stopped and turned around, staring at the princess with her favorite poker face and waiting for her to start speaking.

Luna took only a second to inspect the cave before her eyes settled directly on Maud. Her piercing gaze was almost stern as she searched for any signs of fear or nervousness in the gray pony before her. But to her surprise, she saw nothing. Maud's face literally showed no emotions.

Luna smiled and spoke: 

"You really amaze me, you know that?"

Maud merely tilted her head slightly to one side, showing a barely noticeable questioning glance. Luna slowly walked along the cave wall, inspecting the inclusions of small gems as she spoke:

"Usually most ponies fall to the ground in fear as soon as they see the slightest deviation from calmness on my face. Not that I intend to harm anyone. But almost every foal knows about my past, let alone adults," the royal princess chuckled as she spoke about it.

Maud watched the mare as she walked around her, circling the cave walls. At one point, Luna made a full circle and stopped again right in front of Maud, standing only half a meter away. Being an alicorn, Luna towered over the gray mare, looking down at her with a proud pose, demonstrating her greatness.

However, even in such a situation, Maud did not show any signs of discomfort or even a hint of emotion. Seeing this, Luna smiled at her again and continued:

"I'm used to the fact that almost all of Equestria's ponies are too scared not only to say something wrong in my presence, but sometimes just to stand in front of me," lowering her head slightly, Luna looked into the gray mare's eyes. "And here I met Alan. He was calm, clever, and treated me practically like a normal pony. It was nice and refreshing, I must say. He even did something quite bold, which made me change my schedule to meet him as soon as possible."

After waiting for some time and observing Maud's reaction, or rather her absence, Luna continued:

"But who would have thought that when I met him, he would be involved with an even more audacious pony who would drag me into what could be called the most embarrassing and depraved event in my life."

"Not like you didn't enjoy it, right?" Maud gave her a slight smirk for the first time since the conversation began, responding to the princess's words.

Luna was slightly surprised, but still smiled back at her in response. Moving her face away, she said: 

"Well, when you meet a stallion with a gift like Alan's, whether you're a regular and modest pony or a princess, you can't resist, let alone remain indifferent. Especially if you're an Alicorn."

"Indeed, that's our stallion," Mod replied monotonously but still showing a weak smile on her face.

"'Our' stallion? Interesting. That's actually what I wanted to talk about. More specifically, about the first herd in two thousand years that you and your sister decided to build around Alan."

"I figured as much." Maud already knew this conversation was coming, so she wasn't surprised.

"Well, then you must have also thought about the fact that after your last 'demonstration,' I intend to make Alan my stallion, right?"

"Of course," Maud nodded her head, "But I must warn you that I have no intention of giving up my position as the lead mare," this time Maud's voice sounded firm and serious.

Raising an eyebrow in surprise, Luna said, "As I thought. You really are a rare breed, aren't you?"

Maud just continued to stare intently into the princess's eyes until Luna finally said, "I understand how you feel. You were the first, and most likely it was your initiative that started all this, but nevertheless, as an Equestrian princess, I..."

"No," Maud interrupted the royal Alicorn mare, not allowing her to finish her words.

"I beg your pardon?" Luna frowned slightly, thrown off by her interruption.

Maud, being herself, just repeated monotonously, "No," and then added, "You don't understand my feelings."

Seeing the growing incomprehension of the princess, Maud finally explained:

"Unlike you, who just likes Alan right now, I can say with complete confidence that I love him, and I am literally willing to do anything to make my stallion happy. Can you say the same, princess?"

Luna blinked a few times before opening her mouth to answer, but couldn't say anything. She simply couldn't, because in a sense, Mod was right. Closing her eyes and letting out a small sigh, the dark blue alicorn said:

"You're right, my feelings towards him can't be called love. At least not yet..." Luna made a pause by making this remark. "Nevertheless, I'm sure that moment is not far away. Like it or not, I've already done something I shouldn't have until I was completely sure of my feelings. I've acknowledged him as my stallion!"

Maud tilted her head in slight confusion, as it didn't sound like something important.

Realizing that her words were based on information that was not widely known, Luna explained:

"If an Alicorn chooses their stallion, they will stay with them until the very end. It's a kind of magical vow. Alicorns become so for performing a great deed and being honest and worthy ponies. If you give such a vow and then break it, not only will you cease to be an Alicorn, but your life will slowly start to fade away. And considering the longevity of ponies...," Luna smiled sadly, "it's a vow that is impossible to fulfill."

Hearing the explanation, Maud's eyes widened slightly with realization. She looked at the princess strangely and asked:

"Why did you make such a vow if you weren't even sure of your feelings?"

Maintaining the same sad smile, Luna replied, "I've spoken with Alan enough to understand that even a long-lived pony like me won't need much time to truly fall in love with him. In fact, I'm already almost..." The royal mare blushed slightly. "Furthermore, this vow has one undeniable bonus. It allows me to share a small part of my longevity with him. After getting to know Alan better and learning about his unique qualities, I realized that I want to spend the rest of my life with him, rather than continuing to reign alongside my sister for eternity. I made the vow to prove my intentions. That is my resolve, Maud."

The princess looked stoically into the eyes of the grey earth pony, once again looking down at her as if to demonstrate her superiority.

Feeling the princess's determination, Maud realized that she could only respond with something equally weighty. That's why, lowering her head to the ground, Maud monotonously said:

"Your determination does indeed inspire admiration, Princess Luna. I did not expect such actions from you. Nevertheless, it truly proves the seriousness of your intentions."

Listening to her words, Princess Luna smiled, thinking that Maud was about to give up her place as the lead mare. But alas, the next words of the gray mare shattered her expectations:

"However, my determination is no less. I would even say that it surpasses yours," seeing the questioning and dissatisfied look of her interlocutor, Maud continued, "do you remember when I said that I was ready for anything for my stallion? Well, then here's my answer..."

With these words, Maud's artificial horn began to dangerously spark, emitting a huge amount of light, enveloping the surrounding area with strong magical pressure, shocking Luna with the sudden change. 

Maud's bracelets also began to glow, and due to all this power pouring out of the gray mare, she levitated into the air, and her eyes began to emit a faint light.

Looking at Luna with her mouth agape, Maud spoke in an unusually serious voice:

"Even if I have to fight you, even if I have to put my life on the line... I won't back down. Whether you're three times the Princess of Equestria or the ruler of all the continents of Equus, I'm not giving up my place next to Alan. That's how determined I am!"

With these words, the magical pressure intensified. And while it only covered an area of a few meters, it was an extremely impressive achievement, especially considering that the source of this power was an earth pony.

Luna was literally wide-eyed at this, she remembered that Alan had somehow used magic and wanted to talk to him about it, and now seeing such an impressive performance, she realized that Alan had shared his knowledge with Maud.

Finally, holding back her initial surprise, Luna became serious and activated her own horn, deciding to test the gray mare's determination with her own hooves.

* * * * * * * * * *

At that time, Alan sat in the main "hall" of another cave, sincerely hoping that Maud and Luna wouldn't start pointless quarrels. With each passing second, he increasingly doubted whether it was worth letting his beloved go with that horn.

"Darn it, why did Maud mention the possibility of a clash with the princess. Now I'm sitting here worrying. I hope everything will be okay," Alan tried to distract himself from unpleasant thoughts by playing with his magical hands on the guitar that Vinyl gave him.

He was planning to visit the DJ soon to arrange the very musical jam session he was invited to by Octavia and Vinyl.

After some time, Alan finally heard the sounds of hooves, and looking up, he saw two slightly battered mares, both with a light and happy smile on their faces.

Staring at them with a slightly open mouth due to disbelief, he could only think of one thing:

"What the hell were they doing there?"
