Tempted but respectful.
You were tempted...

But you couldn't, she was an princess and a royal and if she finds up that you were ogling her flanks, you don't know what will happen, however you also had to remind yourself that she was too married and what you're doing already can be considered an crime so, instead, you backed away from her a bit further but and observed her projected path rather than... Ahem.. behind.

You followed around, turning and going for other parts and passageway of the castle until...


"Shining!" Cadence squealed as she saw the mentioned stallion coming to her way, interestingly enough, he was wearing his former armor guard, considering that he is now a prince by marriage and royal, you were asking on why he was wearing his guard armor...

Wait, is that Flurry Heart on his back?

The former captain smiled as the tiny alicorn got off his back and flew toward her mother, she catched the little foal and pulled her into an firm, lovely hug, the Flurry squealed happily. Shining chuckled as he approached.

"Hope she wasn't giving you any trouble.." Cadence says as she ended he hug and gave him an grin, the prince shake his head with an smile.

"I was showing her around the barracks and to my old friends in the guard, then noticed my old guard armor on the exhibition area and put it on and..."

"Oh! I see now, giving the little princess an royal escort? Just like you did to me~? My personal bodyguard~" She says with whispering tone with an growing smirk forming on her muzzle and half-lidded eyes, the white armored stallion looked awkward and flustered as the little filly giggles but looked curiously on the conversation, shifting between her parents, unaware of the implication that was happening between two before giggling adorably, the stallion snap out of his flustered expression and coughs.

"...A-anyway!" He stutter as he regained composure "How it when? I mean, the talk with the other princesses I mean." Cadence giggles as she rocked the filly on her arms, aided by her magic, it worked as the little filly was growing tired until she snores.

"Oh it went fantastically! Tomorrow is the day! Twilight and her friends are coming too." She says while placing the sleeping filly on her back with magic while her wings rising up a bit to prevent any sort no fall.

"Twily is coming?" Shining asked in surprise.

"Yep! They gonna arrive pretty late, though." She says, "I like this idea alot, we're been talking about it alot and perhaps we could repeat it but with more guests!"

"Shouldn't it be like... the Galloping Gala?" On this Cadence 'pff'ed' on him

"As if! We don't want to include overstuffed nobles and boring talks that stroke their evergrowing egos. It's gonna be like our wedding party but more or less exclusive!"

"Oh.."

"Yep! So might rest early because tomorrow is gonna be a quite busy day~!" On this Cadence giggles and winked on him as the stallion gulped and blush a bit.

"Oh boy.."

On this, you were more curious about this event more than anything, they continue talking but were topics that can be overlooked as you began to ponder about the event of tomorrow that made an ex-captain and prince look nervous and flustered at the same time, it was nice to see the married dynamic between Shining and Cadence, even talking using double meaning hints on each other and for the looks of it, you kind of had the idea of who worn the pants in this family and Flurry Heart might have being enslaved giving you diabetes just by looking at her, also it didn't pegged you Cadence to be the flirty type, still, this events was mentioned again and being compared to an small galloping gala.

You were wondering on that.

After few minutes, you saw the royal couple move again, this time together as they were still talking, venturing deeper into the passageways.
