CHAPTER 1
Somepony`s knocking at the door.
For a few seconds, Twilight didn't know how to react. Five days ago, it was a no-brainer. She was a librarian on a library. Three days ago, she was a princess at Canterlot Castle. Back to Ponyville, for the past five hours she was a princess on a library.
Somepony`s knocking at the door.
This is ridiculous, she thought. Title or not, she still could answer the door. "How may I help you?"
Twilight Sparkle looked at the unicorn mare at the library door and her massive pegasus companion. The sunglasses and the obviously painted solid shapes over their cutie marks tell her a lot about the duo, even before the newcomer magically levitate a badge. They weren't there to enjoy some literature.
"Agent Full Circle. Bridle. May we come in?" the unicorn asked, after doing so.
At her days living at the Canterlot Castle, Twilight was familiar with the Bureau Royal for Investigation, Diligences and Law Enforcement, and the seriouness its agents took their job, so she didn't complain or bothered to answer. Still, something ringed a bell deep on her brain.
"Wait a minute…"
She circled the mare. The orange coat and the light gray mane reminded her of somepony. She touched the blue circle covering the visitor cutie mark.
"I think there are a bow and a rose under this, and you're … Flora… Flora something short. We studied together at Canterlot, right?"
"Flower Hit, not Flora. And it's a daisy, not a rose. And yes, we even did research papers together, your highness."
"Ah… sorry, well, there were lots of students there…"
"Five times. We worked together five times."
"Well, I was a filly, can't remember…"
"So was I, and I do. But it's ok. You always liked books over ponies. Unfortunately, your highness, I'm at work here, so pleasantries and reminiscences must wait" She pointed at the large male Pegasus at her side "This is agent Block. I'd rather be called by my Bridle moniker. Now, I could follow the old-friend routine, but I've learned to respect your intelligence, Princess Twilight, so, may we go straight to the matter of our visit?"
Twilight felt a bit guilty of not remembering Flower Hit, but decided to follow her way. Maybe later she could excuse for her rudeness of old times, when she didn't knew about the value of friendship.
"Please, skip the whole princess and 'your highness' part. So, what seems to be the problem?"
"Are you close to a certain Trixie Lulamoon, a.k.a. 'Great and Powerful Trixie'?"
"Well, I would not say we're all that close, but we met a couple of times, yes. Deep down, she's a nice pony."
The agent magically floats some papers in front of her.
"According to our research, you was the one who pleaded to Mayor Mare and Celestia herself to archive the accusation of coupe d'etát against this Trixie, allowing her to avoid prison."
"Sure." It was Twilight turn to magically levitate a large tome. "She took over a city, not a nation, so the nomenclature 'coupe d'etát' was incorrect. And, in documents as ancient as 'Ye Royal Judgment on Guild of Discord' we learn that, and I quote -"
"Princ… I mean, Twilight, I will trust your judgment on that."
"But I must explain the jurisprudence that shows that, despite some experts saying otherwise, the Second Griffin Conflict Armistice Agreement doesn't apply to such cases because…"
Full Circle raised a hoof, cutting the Alicorn short. "Let's talk about the second reason you had to let Trixie go."
Twilight pulled another large law book from the shelves
"She was really sorry, really wanting to make amends, and the recent Royal Decree of Celestia concerning Discord's freedom clearly states - "
"We are aware of Discord Law. Moving on."
"Yes, well, it's a Royal Decree, not a Common Law, they're not the sa-"
"She is dead." Cut the agent, as fast as she could
Twilight just stood there, mouth open.
"Seems that we got your full attention now, Twilight Sparkle. May we go on?"
