Prince Blueblood had been planning of having Twilight Sparkle as his wife so he can have the throne. He even tricked Spike to help him look for Twilight, but Spike told him that Twilight was visiting Sunset Shimmer in the human world but Blueblood didn’t believe him. When Spike said no and refused to give him his blessing, Blueblood knocked him out and tied him up in the Everfree Forest to die. A few hours, Shining Armor and Cadence appeared and rescued him, they explained that Starlight and Trixie saw everything and send a message to them. Flurry Heart was being looked after by Sunburst until they get back to the Empire, but this is when the tried to confront a convincing Blueblood.Fancy Pants: Prince Blueblood. Did you try to kill Spike.Blueblood: acting quickly as sly as a fox Spike, I spent the last few hours trying to find you. And Cadence, Shining Armor, what a surprise.Spike: You tried to kill me! I could’ve been eaten by Timberwolves!Cadence: We saw him tied up because of you, Traitor!Blueblood: Traitor? Timberwolves? Oh please, It’s one thing to be friends with a changeling, it’s another to wave about ultimate worlds behind mirrors, but not acceptable to accuse me of attending murder.Big Macintosh: Spike, your highnesses, do you have any proof of what y’all saying?Every pony was confused about what would be the answer.Shining Armor: Ask Starlight or even Trixie. Pointing out to Starlight and Trixie They were there. They both saw it all.Starlight: That’s right, it was because he wanted Twilight to marry him so he can be king.Blueblood: What rubbish. You all hang your accusations on the eyewitness of a cold-hearted, shady unicorn who’s been stealing cutie marks from every pony?Spike was now getting angry. Since Starlight seemed annoyed by that comment. Spike angrily ran up to slap him, but Blueblood, using his magic from his horn, took a hold of him. Spike struggled to break through the force.Shining Armor: Blueblood! Let him go!Blueblood: Tiss, tiss, tiss Shining Armor, Cadence, Spike, It pains me to say this but you three are becoming endangered to yourselves and others. Maybe the filthy Crystal Empire was better off without you two and no wonder Twilight ran away. You three need help in a place to heal all of your troubled minds.Blueblood signaled his most trusted soldiers to take good care of them. Most of the ponies even the crusaders seemed concerned of what they’ll do to Twilight’s family. Blueblood’s guards took a hold of Spike, Shining Armor, and Cadence as Blueblood gave them orders to take the three of them in an asylum unless Twilight returns and agrees to be his wife since she became a Princess herself.Reference to Beauty and the Beast (2017, live action film.)
