Rarity: "How wonderful! I had the blood of Aethelric in my veins! Too bad she gave up royalty when Equestria was found; how she could be contend to let her house remain as the Matrician class running the Equestrian senate through the republic and then the empire is beyond me."



Spike: "Do you suppose Rainbow Dash is related to Hurricane?"



Rarity: "Perhaps not, Spike - there doesn't seem to be any records remain suggesting so. Besides, what does it matter? Just because some ponies are related to heroes or rulers of old does not make them special in any way; it's what they do in life through merit, willpower and friends that truly counts."



Rarity:"For one thing, It doesn't matter now even if I am related to Princess Platinum; the rest of the line of Aethelric are either dead or faded to obscurity, and the old Royalty of Unicornia and Imperium Equestri are gone; If I must be royalty again, I best work my way up the one we have today!"
