Chaoter 6: A Royal Favor.

Twilight was shock to see her brother standing at fluttershy's front door at this hour on reason. It took a few minutes until she got her nerve back and then she decided to speek up.

"Armor, what are doing here? Is everything alright? Where's Cadence?" Twi went off as she asked a dozen questions in her worried state. Letting out a long sigh, Armor placed his hoof on her mouth to quitet her down and then he spoke.

"Shhh, everything is alright Twily. Nothing is wrong, but me and Cadence need to speek to you in private at the castle." Armor explain in his calm, kind tone.

"Really, right now?" Twilight asked in a slight annoyed tone.

"Yes, it is very important that we talk right now." Armor answered.

"Alright, Fluttershy. Mind waiting for Sunset to call?" Twilight asked as she looked over her shoulder and saw that the meek pegasus was still sitting on the coach.

"U-umm, s-sure." Fluttershy answered as she looked at the siblings walk out and bagan to close the door.

"Thanks Fluttershy." Twilight called out as the door shut behind them.

After a short carraige ride, the duo found themselves in front the Cantorlot castle. They quickly walked inside, but instead of heading toward the throne room, Armor lead Twilight through the maze like hallways until they arived at a set of large doors. Before he opens them, Armor turns to Twilight and begansto speek.

"Before we enter,Twilly. You must promise not to speek a word to any pony just yet."Armor said as he looked at her.

"Ummm, sure." Twilight answered but was not quite sure of what he had asked. Smiling, Armor turned and opened the doors, revealing a calm and happy looking Prncess Cadence sipping on some tea in a nice white room with two coachs in the center of the room, and a table between them.

"Ah, Twilight. Nice to see you again, would you like some tea?" Cadence asked with a smile on her face as she watched them walk into the room.

"Oh, no thank you." Twilight said as she took the seat across from the princess as Armor sat next to his wife. After a few minutes of silence, Twilight decided to speek first, "Okay, what do you guys want to talk about." And after abother few minutes of silence, Cadence spoke up.

"Well, you see Twilight. For the past year, me and Armor have been trying to conceve a foal to add to out family." Cadence explained with a hint of blush on her cheeks as she talked to Twilight about such a personal thing.

"Oh, wow really. I'm so happy for you two, I'm going to be an aunt." Twilight yelled in excitement as she thought of holding the young foal in her arms.

"Not exactly." Armor said as he looked at his sister, who looked at him in surprise.

"What do you mean?" Twilight as confused as to try her brother looked so upset.

"Well, Twilight. You see,." Cadence paused for a moment as she thought of the best way to explain what was troubling them.

"I'm infertile." Armor said as he looked down to the table and refused to lookat the girls.

"Wait, what?" Twilight asked as she was not sure what was going on.

"When Chrysalis imitated me, she and Armor mated. As they were doing that, she placed a spell on him to keep from produsing foals." Cadence explained as she patted Armor's back to cofort him.

"So, can't Celestia and Luna help you break the spell?" Twilight asked in a concern tone.

"They tried, so did Discord. The only one that can break the spell is Chryslis." Armor said as he continued to look at the table.

"So, what about adoption?" asked Twilight.

"That might be an option, but I really want to feel the joys of pregnacy. The purest form of love in the world is that of a mother and new born foal." Cadence explained as with a glee Twilight had not heard since she was told she could keep Spike as a hatchling.

"Alright, then how about a surrogate?" Twilight asked with a smile.

"Well, there's a problem with that." Cadence said as she turned away from her.

"What, what is it?" Twilight asked as she was not sure why Cadence had turned away from her.

"Well, it seems that while King Sombra ruled of the Crystal Empire, he allowed his guards to do. Ummm, unspeakable things to the mares and stallions as they wished." Cadence explained.

"And so, they are not very trusting to the guards. Even the ones I brought from Cantorlot." Armor added.

"So, we need to find a stallion that the crystal will trust and respect as a the father of the foal." Twilight said as she beganto think it over.

"Well, there isn't a stallion persay. But there is a male that the crystal ponies all trust and love." Cadence said with a slight smile on her face as she began to blush.

"Really, who?" Twilight asked as she looked at them for a few seconds until she notice them not looking at her and it was then that she realized what they met.

"Wait, Spike?" Twilight asked in shock as the couple looked at each other and thne turned to Twilight with a nod.

TBC.
