The Luck In Our Stars

Letters...

The remainder of the evening went by slowly. I was still on my balcony, and still thinking about The Night Princess.

I decided to wait until midnight, in case Luna came.

The hours ticked by, and eventually I had to get my sleep.

*******************************

When I woke up, I did the same thing that I did every morning.

I got out of bed, did my morning things, looked in the mirror and brushed my mane, put my armor, cape and crown on, and then I teleported into my throne room.

I sat on my throne and listened to all the problems in the Empire, while Lightning Hooves stood next to me, giving suggestions.

The last problem was that some ponies were refusing to mine.

So, I told Lightning to bring them here, and when he did, I scared them into doing their work.

They ran out of the throne room and started mining.

One month later...

When a whole month had passed without Luna coming, I wondered what princesses thought soon meant.

Did they think it meant after a year?

Maybe I should've said, 'I hope to see you next week'?

Wait. Why did I want to see her so badly?

I couldn't love. I was the King Of Monsters.

I would never be able to love anypony, and nopony would ever love me.

Maybe I was just concerned about her?

That sounded strange in my head. I had never cared for anypony, before and after I took over.

When I was a colt, nopony liked me.

And now that I was a stallion, I didn't care for anypony, because my foalhood was filled with hatred.

But what did I feel for her? I wouldn't believe it was love, or care.

I'll just say that I like her.

The sound of somepony landing pulled me from my thoughts. I turned and saw the mare I liked.

"Hello, King Sombra."

"Princess Luna! It's been a long time."

"I would've visited sooner, but I decided one time every month would be fine, or Celestia might start suspecting me."

"I understand."

"How have things been for you as of late?"

"It's been boring, as usual. I have to spend five hours of my day in my throne room, listening to everyponies problems. I hope things have been better on your end."

"Actually, it's been worse."

"And would you care to tell me why?"

"As you already know, my sister and I rule Equestria together. But sometimes I feel like only she rules it. Everypony only asks her for help, and when I make suggestions, Celestia ignores me. In the night ponies sleep, and in the day they play and work. Nopony appreciates me or my nights. They don't even think of me as a princess. "

"And that is where you are wrong, dear princess."

"And how is that?"

"You said nopony appreciates you, or your nights, but I do. To me, the nights are the best time, when the stars are out and the moon shines. To me, you will always be The Beautiful Princess Of The Night."
