As soon as Cadance mentioned the name of the newest Princess, Twila, Light thought they recognised the name, though where they had heard it, they did not know for certain; they spoke not for a few moments, as they tried to remember, though their thoughts were interrupted for a moment when Shining, admirably protective of his family and the Empire, asked them if something was the matter.
His question went unanswered, as Light absentmindedly got up from their seat and started walking around, moving their hooves around in the air in strange shapes, and quietly speaking to themselves for a while, confusing the present Royals; but Astrum gestured for them to be quiet and to stay seated, for she understood that they needed a moment to figure out some ideas, lest they forget.
True to her word, after a few minutes, Light sighed, bowed their head and took a seat again, asking Shining to repeat the question, just to be sure; and again, he asked them if something was wrong, and if they understood the need for the additional security, to which Light replied that there was nothing, save for an idea, which they would write down, and that they agreed to the doubled Guard.
Intrigued, yet dubious, Shining asked them what this idea was they spoke of, and Light, to ease the minds of their hosts, told him, that when they spoke Twila's name aloud, they recognised it, though whence they had heard it, they did not know; they continued, saying it most likely was nothing, nor would it be a problem if they were wrong, but they found it odd, as they had not met her before.
At that moment, Eclipse suggested that since it was the coronation of a new Princess, the news of which was spread throughout the land, it could be they had heard of her by chance, as they wandered around; and after Light thought about it for a moment, they shrugged and reckoned it was so, but they made sure to remember to write it down, and to think on it further, when the moment is right.
Afterwards, since Shining, Cadance, and the present Princesses had come to an agreement on what was to happen, Light thanked the Royals for their time and patience, and politely asked if they could leave the Palace, as they wished to go to the Library; if others wished to join them, they would be free to join, though they reckoned that many of them still had business to attend to in the Empire.
Both Luna and Astrum noticed a small smile grow onto Cadance's face as she accepted Light's request to head to the Library, which made them gently smile as well, knowing that their conversation with Cadance the previous night, where they helped her to see past her fear, was successful; though they knew it would take a while, they were glad to see Cadance now was more open-minded about Light.
Then, Light bowed to the Lord and Lady of the Crystal Empire, thanked them for their help, and left the Palace to head to the Library, which they reached swiftly; they cheerfully greeted Amethyst, the Head Librarian, and asked her for assistance, though, as they were still forbidden to speak the phrase, about which, they were looking for information, they needed to write it down, just in case.
A moment later, Amethyst placed down a pencil and some paper for Light, upon which they wrote down the idea they had in mind, about the name of the Princess, lest they forgot, and neatly folded the paper to take back later; as they started writing down the phrase, Astrum came walked through the doors and told Light that she wished to help in whichever way she could, if they wanted her to.
As a bright smile formed on Light's face, they thanked Astrum for her kind offer, though, whenever she got tired, they told her she was free to head back to the Palace, if she made sure to let them know, as they did not wish for her to overextend herself; then, Astrum smiled, while Light quickly wrote down the phrase from the Catacombs, which they slid to Amethyst, who took one look, and said:
"How is this possible…?"
