Sorry for the delay. The author or artist has other plans for the tapestry just before I beg him for details. I made this story a little less mature for younger viewers. Here it is now. Thank you for your patience.


Since Galaxia's story had been told, Queen Moon now feared that if she told the next queen's story, it might be the worst thing that she'd ever done to a young human boy.

"Umm, before we move to the next queen, are you sure about this one, Marco?" She asked, "Because it's not actually suitable for children."

Marco was quite confuse. To his discovery, while listening to the previous queens' stories, they're almost suitable for kids at his age, except Crescenta's, which has a little adultery scene in it, "That's okay, Queen Moon. I think I can handle it, whatever it is."

"Are you certainly sure? You're still 14."

"Look, I've been chasing down Hekapoo in her dimension for 16 years to get my own dimensional scissors… Make that eight minutes. So, I'm like 30 years old. Whatever it is, I'll understand."

"Alright, then. Just trying to warn you. Now, I'll tell you the story of the 15th Queen of Mewni; Venus the Fairest."

The tapestry showed a woman with a melancholy countenance sitting on a bed, wearing a turquoise dress and a translucent veil hiding the lower half of her face. Her eyes and hair were as rainbow-colored. Behind her, a hearth burning in heart shape. In front of her, a rainbow flower.

Venus' pedestal rose up from the floor and glowed,

Venus the Fairest
'The proof that beauty
can be a curse,
In the face of Venus the Fairest,
lies its source.'

"I don't see what the problem with Venus here." Marco said.

"That's because you haven't heard her real full story yet." Moon replied, "I'll make the story less… mature for you. Trust me."

"Just do what you do best, Queen. You're a queen anyway. You know what's right."

"Very well, then. Venus was born the day of the morning star, making her the Star Queen. She wasn't born with fixed colors of hair and eyes, like what you've notice on her tapestry. Each person saw her with the colors of its most ideal of beauty. This caused a great discussion in her birth, with her parents and grandma Soupina that claiming that she took the colors of their respective spouses. The princess was also born with an extra mark on her right foot."

"Now, that's interesting." The human boy smiled, "Her eyes and hair have all the colors of a rainbow, and let me guess; red is for Redbird, blue if for Waterson, green is for Forest, yellow is for Fields, pink is for Flowers & Cross, indigo is for Stone, and purple is for Firefly. "

"Yes, that correct." Moon said,

"Is her extra mark at her right foot useful for her… well, magic?"

"Yes, it was. Venus had a relaxed and cheerful personality, having no filter or shame to say what she thought. Since child, she already showed great receptivity to affection and physical contact. It was common to see her hugging her family, and even the servants."

"Just like Star. She loves hugs."

"Well, displaying affections in public isn't in the Butterfly virtue, but on her father side, on the other hand, are amazing at it. So, back to Venus, the princess's beauty, which only increased as she grew, made kings, lords, and travelers from all parts of the world come just to stare at her for a second, something that her parents secretly detested. Venus also learned to control her hair and eyes, choosing the ones she wanted."

Then, Marco began to interrupt, "Oh, oh, oh, I bet she can change her hair to be like Estelaria's starry hair." He pointed Estelaria's tapestry.

"No, that kind of hair secretly bothered her." Moon explained, which Marco frowned, "Venus' ability to change her hair and eyes' colors also unlocked a new quality of her powers; the colors now could also reflect the princess's mood. Now, this is the beginning part of the story I shouldn't tell you." She warned Marco.

"Whatever it is, I promise it's okay." He insisted.

This made the Queen growled frustratingly, "Fine! Venus suddenly changed her behavior as she grew. It's like what a mature lady do, but too much than that. She began to attract herself to the boys in Mewni, including her own cousin. She even read a book that is 'inappropriate' for her age, according to her mother."

"What kind of book?"

"Trust me, you don't want to know! Galaxia and Venus argued sometimes when Venus's rebellious side began to bloom. Her mother caught her breaking the Rule 6 with a boy that is her so-called 'teacher'."

Even though it was just the beginning of the story, Marco finally understood what Queen Moon meant about Venus' story as he made a disgust face with his mouth open, like a jaw dropping moment.

"Then, there was a boy, Eric Flowers, has a crush on Venus, but she found him annoying." Moon continued, "When Venus inherited the wand, Eric showed up again. Venus told him that she would only give him a chance the day he brought her a Rainbow Flower, a semi-legendary flower of the most isolated dimension in the confines of the Universe. Eric accepted the challenge, and he was never seen since then."

"Wow, a Rainbow Flower. You mean, the flower on her tapestry?" Marco pointed the flower in the vase of the tapestry.

"That's the flower, yes." Queen Moon nodded, "Something that Venus believed she would achieve with the age of majority was her 'freedom'. The morning after her 14th birthday, Venus woke up wearing the last gift of her parents… a chastity belt. The only period of the story where Venus was angry for two days in a row. The belt, however, didn't last three days. This one was removed after Venus, until then withan enviable health, to get sick. However, Queen Galaxia and King Condor didn't give up, and the morning after Venus had recovered, they put a chastity diaper, an innovative beta product of Quest Buy at the time."

"I think I saw one of them at the Quest Buy where Star and I bought something." Marco whispered.

"Venus didn't mind about the diaper though. She didn't seem to complain. Her parents even thought Venus had learned her lesson, until her brother, Planet, wanted one, too. Soon, they had the confirmation that Venus knew how to remove and put the diaper some time ago. After that, there was what popularity known as the 'Royal Desist', where Galaxia and Condor told their daughter they wouldn't talk about what she should or shouldn't do, however, that she now had to deal with the consequences of her own acts. The king and queen also began to isolate Venus' siblings, Minguanta and Planet, from their sister's bad influence."

"Okay, I think I took back after what I said before." Marco sighed in defeat when he interrupted the queen, "There is nothing about this I understand anymore! Can you tell me about her magic? You haven't discuss that yet since Venus' ability of changing her eye and hair color."

Moon chuckled when the human started to get sick about Venus' dirty story, "Very well. About her magic, contrary to what many imagine, she showed an interest in magical studies, and a good variety of spells created. Just like Star. You did notice her unusual spells. She created them all by herself."

"Yeah. I noticed."

"Then, years have passed. Venus began to recover the relationship with her siblings. Then came a sad event, the death o King Condor after days agonizing as a result of hepatitis. It was a difficult period lived by the Royal Family, with reports of the diminution of Venus's adventures and a re-harmonization of her relationship with her mother. One evening, Venus saw her mother sneaking into one of the castle's secret room and followed her. All that happened next was only witnessed by the princess herself. She saw what happened to her mother. Venus didn't accept it though. You think she was already dead in natural cause, you were wrong. Nine days later, seeing how her siblings suffered and were lonely, Venus saw that she was nurturing a hope that didn't exist. It was then that, while the whole kingdom slept, Venus went to her mother's bed, and with a pillow, covered her face and choked her, until her heart stopped." The last part almost felt Moon's heart in pain, remembering her own mother was killed.

"So, Galaxia wasn't actually die naturally…" Marco said quietly, "She was murdered… by her own daughter."

"Galaxia has no soul, but still has vital signs, until Venus stopped them. This has a theory that she was murdered by Venus. By that time, her colors turned black, and for the first and only time, she wept for her mother. For almost a year, they all saw Venus only with black hair and eyes. This period curiously demonstrates the size of the beauty of Venus, which even with colors so simple and monotonous, was still claimed as 'the Fairest woman in Mewni'. It was during this time that Venus discovered the power of the wand mirror to show the true face of her mates."

"So, you mean, her wand can see if those men loved her or just her beauty?"

"Exactly. It's like she can see those boys' true colors. Although she was officially the reigning Queen, the Coronation Ceremony had occurred only about a year later. According to Venus, the Coronation Ceremony is a moment of joy, and shouldn't happen next to a sad moment like the death of her mother. This kind of thinking would become unanimous in the following generations of Butterfly."

"I kind agreed to that." Said Marco with a smile, "The guilt is still haunting."

"Now, Marco…" The Queen chuckled by his behavior, "The first major event under the supervision of the Young Council of Venus was the Tournament of 357. Venus, who didn't allow modesty , increased royal spending with such an event to make it bigger and fancier. In order to have more money invested, Venus and her council approved the end of the Financial Aid Program for Widows and Single Mothers."

"But, that's Queen Crescenta's program!"

"I know, but, in spite of this, this began the decline of Venus' popularity. Later that year, several royals wanted to marry Venus, but she rejected them all, because she saw herself as a free spirit and believed that a marriage would be like a prison. Then, Prince Planet was a painter, and Venus volunteered to be a model for his artistic nude studies. The most famous painting is certainly 'The Birth of Venus'"

"I think we have that kind of painting on Earth. It was quite popular though."

"There was a time that the portraits were gone, but they were scattered in the town streets. All paintings were collected and burned at the behest of Venus. She was also called 'Queen Moth'. Criticism also fell on her brother, since he was the one who painted all those paintings. All of this ledt to a drastic change in her. Venus proceeded to use a veil to hide her face, and using her mirror, she reduced her affairs to almost zero. That is what she was here in her tapestry."

"But what about finding her king and heiress to the throne?" The human boy asked.

"That's one problem now." Queen Moon answered, "When her siblings had a family and she has not… yet, she was feeling more and more lonely, and also getting older to find someone who truly loved her, and a heiress. Then, two years later, Eric Flowers returned from his journey after a long time. His friend told the queen that Eric finally found a Rainbow Flower, just like what Venus told Eric before he disappeared from Mewni. Although, Venus was still curious, she consulted her wand mirror on Eric, and his feeling for her was all true. And with that, they got married, and had only one child and daughter."

"Well, on the bright side, Venus finally found someone who loved her and had a child to take the throne when she's gone, but what about those rumors about her?"

"She just lived with it. As for her reign, she only administered what she had done before until passing the crown to her daughter." Moon explained.

Then, Marco groaned tiringly and frustratingly, "This is the most adulterous story I've ever heard! Much worst than Crescenta's. I still don't get it though. We're still within the Age of Heroes. Venus wasn't declared as a hero in this story! What kind of hero is she?!"

Queen Moon laughed quite hardly, "Oh Marco, we're not in the Age of Heroes anymore. Galaxia is the last Queen in the Age of Heroes. We're now… in the Dark Ages!"

Marco's eyes widened as lightnings struck out on the background. Queen Moon was confused about Marco's reaction with lightnings struck and heard behind him.

"What was that?" She asked.

"I have no idea, but that happens when there's something horrible." Marco answered.
