(In this AU you have completely taken over the Crystal Empire and you are also King Sombra)

A long time ago you ruled the Crystal Empire, you were very cruel and evil, but there was someone you treated with love, it was Princess Cadance, who was the only one you felt something for and who you treated specially

But after you were overthrown with the Crystal Heart, and you did not appear for many years, but one day the Crystal Heart was dismantled and you immediately took over the Crystal Empire and came to power again and everything became exactly the same as many years ago

Now in the once peaceful kingdom, where peace and love reigned, everything was different now, all the ponies became emotionless and you kept almost everyone under control and even the appearance of the Crystal Empire became more gloomy and dark

Of course, once you freed, you immediately found Cadance, at first she wanted to resist, but realizing that it was useless, she gave in and was forced to be with you again, but Cadance had almost or rather no choice at all

Today was another day, as usual, you were in the throne room and sat on the throne that you completely forged for yourself, and Cadance, as usual, was next to you, she sat near the throne and tried not to look you in the eyes, but then Cadance seemed to think about something and then hesitantly turned to you, breaking the silence

"Sombra, can I ask you something?"
