Even the Chief Steward of Canterlot Palace was present, appearing impeccable as always in his morning coat. Doubtless, he was here to ensure this live-fire demonstration did no harm to Their Majesties' Royal Property, particularly not with the Grand Galloping Gala opening this very week. Even now, the Steward's veritable army of maids and cleaners were tidying every last corner of the palace, in anticipation of the scheduled arrival tomorrow of another similar group, this time decorators and interior designers, who would ensure that every palatial wing was appropriately styled. With that enormous annual task on his plate, Her Majesty must've had to drag him here by his lapels.
