Shit…I don’t actually have a foolproof shield for this. I’m gonna have to do some bullshit. I take a sip of the tea to gain an extra few seconds to think. “I was trying to perfect the teleportation spell. I know I teleported here on accident, but I didn’t want to be left in the middle of nowhere with no way to return back to Equestria. I know the Reformisten takes a couple of days for their officials to get their act together. So I had some time to bide.” A lie I can reasonably back up is better than a complete one. Longsword’s government is a military state, so they must have power struggles within. The military government isn’t always the best choice when it comes to ruling.
