Chronos' Sexual Revolution

Chapter 6

The Stallion Who Would Go To War

Charity didn't always hate her mother's name. In truth, Rarity was somepony she wanted to emulate in her younger days as a filly. As beautiful as she was generous, everyone who was anyone admired and respected her mother. Working her way up from a tiny boutique in Ponyville, she had become the greatest authority on all fashion in Equestria.

The seeds of Charity's resentment towards her mother took root when she got her cutie mark. A brilliant shining diamond that was the envy of every pony for miles. She had earned it at a young age when she was eating ice cream with Chronos and offered her cone to him when he dropped his, despite the ice cream cart being completely sold out. The sacrifice was enough to earn her a cutie mark representing her joy of giving.

At her cuteceaneara, it was brought up more than once that her cutie mark was similar to her mother's. She laughed it off at first, but it came up again and again. Eventually, she began to feel like she was in her mother's shadow. No matter how hard she tried. She was always compared to Rarity.

So a few years later when a pony made innocuous comment about being like her mother, she made a point to punish him severely for his trespass. The comments had stopped, but the mare knew better than to think the whispers ended there. She needed to do something her mother had tried but never accomplished.

As a little filly, Charity would remember her mother telling her about the first time she went to the Galloping Gala in the hopes of courting Prince Blueblood. It was not meant to be as she found him to be more of a frog than an actual prince. Eventually, she met Fancypants and decided to give up on becoming a princess entirely. Charity was in a prime position to succeed where her mother had failed.

She was five when she first met the precocious colt who was only three at the time. She remembered the big goofy smile he gave her. He had a few teeth missing at the time, but it didn't seem to bother him in the slightest. Initially, she found him to be gross and immature. For a young prince, the colt didn't seem to carry himself with much class. He was always getting into trouble. Playing pranks, stealing snacks, and generally making a mess of whatever he could get into.

Yet she found herself inexplicably drawn to him. Looking back it was probably his reckless attitude that drew her in. Everypony and everything around her was so neat and proper, but Chronos, who was a prince no less, seemed to be the exact opposite of that. He wanted to get dirty and act wild. She found herself following him on more than one occasion and usually getting into trouble alongside him.

As time went on, she found her feelings for him change. She didn't realize it herself till she saw him playing with other ponies besides her, especially other fillies. If a filly tried to join in, she'd always make up some excuse as to why they couldn't play together. Chronos being oblivious would always insist on letting as many ponies join in as possible. Eventually, it got to the point where it caused a huge rift between the two and Chronos started to avoid her.

As the years went on, the prince gained more friends and Charity found herself around the prince less and less. Despite spending less time together, she still held a spot in her heart for the prince. Even when he started sleeping around, she still believed they would be together. When she overheard his parents arranging a party to find a bride for Chronos, she knew it was her destiny to be at his side.

As she walked the halls of the castle, the guards all stepped aside without trying to stop her. It was about time they recognized their future princess. When she married Chronos, she decided to do something special for them. It was important to reward those under you, especially when they recognized your imminent authority.

She turned down the hallway of Chronos' room and found a plain white mare with a short blond mane cropped around her neck just below her chin. She was standing outside his room, but wasn't actively trying to get his attention. Charity had seen plenty of mares banging on the prince's door confessing their love or asking for just one more night. However, the mare she saw now was more focused on the outside of his rather than in. Charity didn't really care what she was doing though. She had seen the prince's groupies come and go. This one would be on her way soon enough.

Charity made a habit of ignoring the poor wretches that slept with the prince. All of them seemed to be under the impression that the prince could fall for an average mare. She almost felt bad for them. Almost.

Still she could see why they fell for him. In her weaker moments with the prince, she found herself wanting to be taken by him. That cute, little alicorn with the big smile and several teeth missing had grown into one of the handsomest and eligible bachelors in all of Equestria. Even if he wasn't an alicorn or royalty, he'd be quite the catch on his looks and natural talent alone.

As she walked up to the prince's door, the mare made no attempt to move out of the way. Even the most lovesick peons knew, it wasn't wise to get between her and the prince. She stopped in front of her giving her a chance to move aside, but the mare remained in her spot staring at her with a defiant look.

"Prince Chronos is sleeping and has requested that he not be disturbed." The mare rattled off as if she was speaking to some pony off the street. Charity was prepared to give her the benefit of a doubt however. Chronos had obviously put the poor dear here to keep her out. If anypony was to blame, it was him.

"Listen, I understand you think you're doing the right thing, but it's a matter of grave importance that I see the prince. Let me through and I promise you won't get in trouble." Charity said in an understanding tone. She had used those words before..

"I'm sure it can wait until the prince wakes up. If you wish, I'd be more than happy to leave a message for him." The mare said shooting her down. Charity patience was wearing thin. It was time to pull out the heavy artillery.

"I'm sure you know who I am. I'm Charity, the most prominent debutante in Canterlot and close personal friend of the prince. He'll be quite angry if he finds you turned me away." Charity warned.

"Be that as it may. He ordered me to keep all visitors out. If he's angry with me for turning you away, I'll accept the consequences later." She said not intimidated in the least. Charity was secretly fuming behind the smile she wore.

"If Princess Luna and Spike wanted to enter the room, you can't tell me you'd say no to them." The unicorn said trying not to become too angry.

"The prince said absolutely no one is to enter his room and disturb his rest. I'd be obligated as his assistant to keep them out as well, if it came down to it."

"You're insane! You would tell Princess Luna and Spike that they couldn't visit their own son in their own castle!" The debutante shouted losing her cool. Her insolence had pushed her over the edge. She had no respect for the order of things. Charity was through talking to her. She'd make sure Chronos fired this wretch at once.

"I'm going in and there's nothing you can do to stop me!" She said as her horn glowed and she zapped out of sight. Clover instantly did the same. The two mares ended up a few paces left of the door. Charity with a shocked look on her face. She could have swore she meant to teleport inside the prince's room. Why was she still outside then?

"If you continue to make a ruckus, I'll be forced to asked you to leave." The mare said with the same neutral look on her face she had since she walked up.

"You! What did you do?" Charity said practically seething with rage.

"I warned you once. If you continue to make a ruckus, I'll have to ask you to leave." The mare repeated herself.

"WARN ME! You'll be lucky if you can shine hooves for living once I'm down with you." She said teleporting again and once again found herself outside his room in front of this mare. This continued for awhile. The hall filled with flashes of light as if several cameras had gone off and didn't stop. After awhile both mares were exhausted.

"I… will not let… you through. Please leave… the premises." The mare said breathing heavily. It was the final straw as Charity raised her hoof and prepared to slap her. Fortunately, a figure spoke that stopped her from doing so.

"I thought I sensed a magical disturbance in the castle." Princess Celestia said as she approached the two mares.

"It's nothing, your highness. I was just visiting the prince." Charity said immediately lowering her hoof and fixing her mane.

"No one is allowed to see the prince. He asked me to deter all visitors while he rested." The mare said bowing before the princess.

"Is that so, Prince Chronos? Why don't you come out and explain yourself?" She called out as she opened the door to his room and the prince fell forward into the hall.

"Hehe, ladies." He chuckled as he got to his hooves.

"You're awake!" The two unicorns said glaring at him.

"Why don't you tell them why you set this up?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Set it up? I don't know what you mean." He said acting innocent.

"You placed Clover here knowing Charity would make her daily visit. You also couldn't sleep through all that spell casting right outside your door. I detected their presence across the castle. I find it hard to believe you wouldn't have come out before me unless you knew what was going on. Am I right?" Princess Celestia asked.

"I can't get anything past you, Aunt Celestia. Can I?" He sighed.

"I'd be more worried about these mares you tricked than me. It was good seeing you, nephew. Have a nice day, you two." The princess teleported away as the mares stepped towards him.

"If you give me a moment, I can explain." Chronos said putting his hooves up. The two mares looked at each other and back to him.

"Well?" Charity said awaiting an explanation.

"Threesome?" He shrugged as he couldn't think of a good lie. He couldn't remember who slugged him first, only that he was struck twice in quick succession. He woke up to see Clover sitting at his side and Charity long gone.

"You're still here. That's good." Chronos said getting to his hooves.

"I'm still thinking about leaving. Why'd you really pull that stunt?" She asked.

"Charity is the other mare I chose to bear my children. I wanted to see how you two interacted. If all goes according to plan, you'll both be carrying my foals. I was hoping you two would get along." He said shaking his head.

"I haven't decided to carry your child yet. After this little stunt, you're lucky I didn't quit." She told him.

"Come on, Clover. I think it's time you dropped this little act of yours. You want to do this just as much as I do."

"Oh, what makes you say that?"

"What was it said last night in front of my parents? I was reckless and rude. You're smart enough to not hang around a guy like me, but you're still here. I've asked a lot of you, Clover. More than any stallion should ask of a mare he just met yesterday has any right to. Why are you still here if you don't want to do this?"

"To be honest, I don't know. I feel like I should hate you sometimes, but I can't bring myself to."

"Maybe the spell worked after all and you do love me." Chronos guessed.

"Don't get your hopes up. I don't feel any differently about you since you cast that spell. I might actually respect you less after what just happened."

"Hey, what if I let you name the foal?"

"Wouldn't I get a say in the first place seeing as I gave birth to it?" She pointed out.

"I know, but I won't fight you on it. Whatever you want to name it and I'll accept it no matter what."

"Any name I want?"

"It sounds like you have one in mind. Go on! Let me hear the name of our firstborn."

"I've always been partial to name Zeus."

"Really?" Chronos said.

"You said you wouldn't fight me on it."

"I know. It's just there are so many names and you chose that one so quickly. What if it's a girl too?"

"I like the name Zeus. If it's a girl, I'll think of something else."

"Fine, I suppose we should get started then. Shall we go to your place or mine?" He joked as he tried to put a leg around her, but she backed away.

"What are you doing?"

"I didn't think I had to explain how to make a foal to you, Clover."

"I made a promise to Sir Spike that I wouldn't have sex with you as long as I was living next to you. I plan to keep that promise."

"Ugh! You know you're too good sometimes."

"You could learn a thing or two about being good." Clover said batting his hoof away as he tried to touch her flank.

"I'd rather be naughty. If we're not going to have fun, let's eat breakfast."

"Is your mother going to be there?" Clover asked hesitantly.

"I doubt it. She usually rests most mornings. Princess Celestia should be there though." Chronos said walking towards the dining room.

"Your mother really doesn't like me." She said following him.

"Can you blame her? You insulted her only child and questioned her parenting skills. I think any mother would be unhappy with someone who did that."

"Do you think I should apologize?" She wondered aloud.

"That's the worst thing you could do. If you meant what you said and then tried to apologize for it, my father would lose all respect for you. Seeing as he likes you that'd be a bad thing."

"So either you mother hates or your father doesn't respect me?"

"It's not all that bad. My father likes you so that's good. We just need to get my mother to like you."

"How do we do that?"

"That's the hard part. You see my mother has a bride in mind for me already. She's never said it outright, but she's been hinting at Charity as a potential bride for years."

"How am I supposed to beat Charity?"

"Hold on!" Chronos said putting a hoof out to stop her. They stopped outside the door of the dining where Charity's voice could be heard.

"I hope you enjoy them. I made them especially for you." Charity said in a cheery tone.

"I never pegged you as the cooking type. These are pretty good. Did you make them yourself?" He asked eating another one of the cookies.

"I wanted to do something special for you, Sir Spike. You work so hard that I took up lessons to show my appreciation.

"She knows." Chronos said turning around dramatically.

"Knows what? What's wrong?" Clover asked.

"Charity doesn't do manual labor, especially if it involves getting dirty. She'd never cook anything for anyone as long as there was another pony around to do it for her."

"Aren't you making a big deal out of this? She just made cookies." Clover wondered.

"When we played house, she had servants prepare imaginary food. If Charity actually cooked something, she must have had a reason for it, but why would she…"

"What is it? What are you thinking?" Clover asked as the prince was deep in thought.

"She knows about my parent's plans to marry me off. If she can sway my dad, it'll ruin everything. Come on, Clover. We're going." He said standing next to her.

"Going where?"

"To get help. Charity has cast the first volley. This is war." He said teleporting them away.
