Luna flung a pillow at the canopy in frustration. She wanted to help Beatrix, but she wasn’t sure how. Despite her high station, she could hardly countermand a legal order—Equestrian law was quite clear on that point. There were only certain rare instances where she could intervene at all, and so far none of the legal requirements had been met. She could try and invoke a mercy clause, but there was no case law on her side. Unless something changed, Luna’s hooves were hobbled.
