However, I can dig this.

Given how similar this show is to "Mortal Kombat Conquest", being an alicorn is similar to being the Mortal Kombat Champion: you ascend to a higher plane of existance due to decree from elder gods, you become immortal and strongest than anyone,and you become an authority figure that everyone relies on for both protectio and advice.

Keeping all of that in mind, I can understand an alicorn wanting to live a simpler life and not be burdened by her higher state of existance.

Twilight didn't suffer as much from this because she has the other five (Pinkie, Dashie, Rarity, Fluttershy and Applejack) treating her as more an equal than a superior, and being their anchor to a more "mortal" life.

Celestia doesn't have that. She only has Luna (another alicorn) for company.

So, Celestia's plight in this episode is understandable.
