Malcador had lived through many horrors. He braved the reclamation of Terra and the chaos that preceded it. All through that time, he stood by the side of the man who would later become the Emperor of Mankind. He was there when the Emperor returned baring a baby girl in his arms (well, power claw to be precise).
And now he had the unique pleasure of observing the effects of Serenity entering the pony-phase. In her case, it was a unicorn phase to be more precise. Of course, that was to be expected. In Malcador's experience all little girls went through at least a variation of this phase no matter what their parents and society in general did to discourage them.
However, most little girls that not have a parent who would seriously consider building them a robot unicorn. The project involved a rainbow coloured tail and mane and a horn of pure adamantium.
"Didn't you forbid AI?" the Sigilite asked in a far away voice.
The Emperor of Mankind blinked and sighed. His little girl would have to get by with only cartoons.

If Serenity had any faults in the Emperor's eyes, it was her approach to learning. She did not apply herself to studies as vigorously as he would wish. Some subjects, she was fond of and at those she was good. Etiquette had no mysteries from her. Other subjects she detested and at them her scores were abysmal.
"But maths is boooring," she moaned when the Emperor inquired as to why she had been not present in her chambers when her tutor arrived.
Silence fell as the Emperor of mankind digested this admission. The sentiment felt alien to him. Mathematics boring? It was like saying riddles were boring or like life was boring. This needed to be nipped in the bud.
"Serenity, from today you will be learning maths with me," he declared.
Serenity managed the difficult feat of looking both disappointed and enthusiastic at the same time.
