Parlys: "Well, not out of nothing... And what part of what I just said wasn't clear? Her purpose is to be better than Princess Amore, better than anypony who ever was! It's just that Amore was the closest the world ever came to such excellence before."

Princess Cadance: "And yet, you said you named her after Princess Amore, no?"

Parlys: "Puh-lease! You ponies name your next generation after the last all the time. Even you, Mi Amore Cadenza, bear the name of that pony—Ha!"


 * Cadance falls silent at that rebuttal. There is some truth in those words. She never gave it much thought until now, since she prefers to go by her nickname "Cadance," but she is perhaps even more of a replacement than Parlys the Pale's supposed masterpiece.


 * She glances back at her throne—the throne of the late Princess Amore. Somehow, this particular addition of two and two never occurred to her. She, Mi Amore Cadenza, is a replacement for the Crystal Empire's first ruler not only in authority but also in NAME.


 * Was this her destiny from the start? Is that why she was made a princess? An Alicorn? A member of Princess Celestia's inner circle? To fill one pony's void?

Princess Cadance: "..."


 * She will have to speak with her aunts about this.


 * The professor narrows his eyes at Dazzling Light.

Culture Shock: "I thought you said some young buffalo stole the other piece from the changelings."


 * The two henchponies meet Aroma. The high blow's force utterly evaporates upon contact, leaving the attacker awkwardly exposed and within her reach. The low blow lands with a smack, but the powerful mare does not express much of a reaction.


 * Except when she backhands both of them in retaliation, one hoof whistling across each of their faces.
