Dirrhenia the Truthful:
This queen spoke only the harshest truth, when her subjects wanted beautiful lies. Yet her words did they need to heed and hear before their kingdom dies.
"Uh...sweetie? We want to talk to you about your recent...'deceleration's'..." Said Omnitraxius Prime.
"Uh, huh." Said a bored Dirrhenia as she made more balls appear in thin air.
"...Right...well, your blunt admission of the economy being in the toilet, unemployment is at record-breaking highs, our allies are either bankrupt or abandoning us, and all our best and brightest are fleeing to Monster Kingdom has caused much despair and civil unrest..."
"But...it was all true, isn't it?"
"Well...technically, yes- But, as a ruler you need to give your people hope!"
" Lie to them, you mean." Dirrhenia said in a bored tone as she made yet another ball appear.
"...If necessary, yes."
"eh...Nah, I got my own thing going."
"Dirrhenia, please! The people are losing faith in you, in your rule! They need to know they can rely on you!"
Dirrhenia snorted, "Why? If things are so bad, why don't they just try to fix it themselves?"
Omnitraxius frowns at this, "It's...it's not that simple."
"Whatever", said the still bored Dirrhenia as she gets up, "If you need me I'll be communing with Chad." She walks out of the room before anyone could stop her.
Rhombulous sighs, "You sure we can't just replace her with her younger sister? She seems more...not HER. "Said Rhombulous pointing after the brooding Princess teen.
"BAAAH!"
Lekmet is right Rhombulous. We don't have the authority to change the line of succession, only the queen dose...and that's Dirrhenia now since the...'unpleasantness with her mom transpired..."
"Well, what do we do? Eclipsa and the Crimson ninja are already working to restore monster magic, their keeping it restricted at the moment but if we don't get the Butterfly kingdom strong enough to keep them in check soon..."
And so the High Commission gabbed and argued...none noticed the grinning smirk of Crescenta Butterfly peeking through a crack in the door, "Interesting..."
...
Glosseryck sighed, Dirrenhia was unpopular because she told the people what they needed to hear, not what they wanted to hear. She didn't care about pandering to her subjects and parading around like the perfect and beautiful queen they demanded. While he wished she'd actually made an effort to at least try to be a leader, the poor girl was at least smart enough to know she wasn't suited for the role. It's actually quite a sad state of affairs that the biggest reason why she was a better queen than her sister was because of how little she actually did. Doing nothing is preferable to doing something wrong after all. What little she did do went towards trying to fix problems 'they' caused, rather than blaming those problems on Eclipsa.
Glosseryck looked annoyed as she saw how She was hated in her time because in her inaction she committed the worst offense possible. She told them they weren't blameless, and forced the people to govern themselves...
...
"You sure about this sweetie?" Asked Eclipsa. Meteora nodded. She and her sister were both capable fighters...but Meteora realized out of the both of them, Mariposa was better with people- whereas she distrusted and hated everyone that wasn't in her family. Meteroa might be regarded as the bridge between both mewmans and monsters (despite them both being half mewman/ monster armed human hybrids) but Mariposa had a natural charisma that made it easy for people to like her...also she has the ability to bestow magic on others, which makes her ridiculously valuable.
Mariposa was also quickly becoming the 'voice of the youth' in Mewni, encouraging the new generation to be more proactive and self-sufficient. She was the main reason why so many defected from Mewni Kingdom(most were disillusioned kids sick and tired of their parents stubborn loyalty to obsolete and backwards traditions that were slowly killing off their kingdom).
"Yes mother, I'd like to renounce my claim to the throne and hand it over to Mariposa...I know she'll be a far greater leader then me"
Eclipsa smiles at her daughter, "That's a very mature decision my dear, I'm proud of you...perhaps we should hold of on the telling the news though? Your sisters birthday is coming up after all...
...
And So Meteora focuses on being a better magic user/warrior, while Mariposa focuses on being a better queen...while still keeping up her combat training with her sister. Because being a queen or without magic doesn't mean helpless.
Glosseryck sighed, "You'd think that'd make my job easier. But instead of teaching 'one' girl how to be a queen and magic wielder, I had to teach 'two' girls to be a queen 'and' a magic user, exclusively.
Other Glosseryck nodded in sympathy, "If they weren't as pleasant to work with as their mother I'd be much more annoyed."
Glosseryck groaned. "Awww. And there I was stuck with little miss "Make vegetables taste amazing, but give them the texture of a porcupine."
...
"It is with a heavy heart that I take throne after my sisters sudden demise, but I promise you I shall do everything in my power to reverse our current misfortune and end the threat that is the monster kingdom forever!"
While the crowd cheered, the magical high commission looks on concerned...they remember earlier when they confronted Crescenta on the 'mysterious' circumstances of her sisters death...
...
"Oh, what are you going to do? Arrest me? Where will you be then? There will be no more heirs to keep Butterfly kingdom afloat! Idiots the pheasants maybe, but even they will get suspicious if you pull out a second 'long lost heir' out of thin air a second time! You have to decide for yourself: What's more important? Justice for some loser of a queen who no one liked- YOU included! Or stabilizing the kingdom so you can stop the resurgence of monster magic! So which will it be?"
...
And so with a haevy heart...they are forced to watch as Crescenta ascend the throne...
"BAAH!:
"I agree Lekmet, liberty dying through thunderous applause is ironic..." Stated Omnitraxius...
...
So it was with sadistic glee as Glossaryck watched the Mewmans - people who had long despised doing anything for themselves and making their own decisions -Cheered for the murderer of one of the few queens he could call 'friend' as she took over and started telling them what to do...only for them them to soon realize their pretty pink princess wasn't as perfect as she looked...
...
Crescenta the facade:
Proclaimed the perfect princess and beloved queen by her subjects far and near, yet when her mask did fall away, her subject now proclaimed "your the only monster here".
...
Meanwhile a screaming and naked Star was running away from the succubus that had taken her virginity...multiple times. She ran through the streets of Echocreek naked while being chased by the STILL horny succubus.
"Why isn't anyone stopping this!?" Screamed Star
Unfortunately, for Star. The 'her' of 'this' timeline had made a habit of running naked through the streets and LOVED being chased, captured and violated by her lover...as such, everyone just shrugged it off as an everyday occurrence...
