“Yes, Your Majesty.” Fancy Pants stood and faced Luna. “We intend to demonstrate that Ambassador Heartstrings did not disobey her orders. We contend that Dale and Ka-th-rin's arrival in Equestria was an unfortunate magical accident, rather than a willful or negligent act by the Ambassador. Her history as a duelist and her exemplary record as a member of the Auxillary Guard are being called into question, and we intend to prove that she behaved properly in all respects despite the magnitude of the task which Princess Celestia had set forth. Finally, we contend that since she was not culpable for the accidental teleportation of Dale and Ka-th-rin, she can in no way be held responsible for any actions which they may have taken, nor of their temperament—which, I might add, was a rather unexpected additional charge, especially to have been delivered on the morning of the trial.”
