"All right."
"Thank you. After I banished Luna, naturally I was very sad. I threw myself into ruling Equestria. Every little problem in the country became my problem to solve. Eventually, the nobles got tired of my micromanagement and started to complain. I was indignant! Imagine the gall of these self-entitled louts, complaining about my trying to fix things. I began to see the court and ultimately the country as undeserving of my hard work. Sound familiar?"
"It's starting to."
"Well, unlike my sister I didn't go off the deep end. At least, not at first. I simply started taking more liberties with my position. I started to spend tax dollars on personal effects and beautification projects. Vanity projects really. And I started to take lovers. First one at a time and then several at a time. Within a generation I had become quite the libertine."
"You..? Wow. I thought maybe you just tried to conquer another country or something."
"Ha ha, why would I do that? I already had control of the most powerful nation in the world. No, I was more interested in hosting orgies and practicing Prima Noctis."
"You're joking?!"
