Evil Queen
Once upon a time
There lived a young girl
Her name was Cinderella
She lived happily with her parents
Until one day her mother died
Her father remarried
To an evil woman
Who was plotting
To take over the kingdom
The kingdom of France
The evil woman’s plan
To take over the kingdom
Was turned from
Fantasy into reality
Soon after she married
The young girl’s father.
As a rich merchant
And the king’s personal merchant,
Cinderella’s father
Was always gone
Causing Cinderella to resent the royals
Once when he was on a trip,
He died
And left everything to Cinderella
And her stepmother
The two women bonded over the merchant’s death
They became the best of friends
And Cinderella’s two stepsisters
Also joined in their bonding time
The four of them began to plot
Plot the overthrow of the king
The perfect opportunity arose
When the prince threw a ball.
All three young eligible ladies attended
And all carried deadly weapons
They could use if they got close to the prince or king
Entranced with Cinderella’s beauty,
The prince invited her to dance with him
And even eat with him
As they were about to eat,
The prince got distracted when talking to an official
This allowed Cinderella to slip in some arsenic into the prince’s food and drink
When the prince turned back to Cinderella,
She enjoyed eating with him
And stayed with him throughout the entire night
Right before she was about to leave
The prince vomited
Pretending to be concerned about his health,
Cinderella offered to stay with him
And the prince agreed.
Constantly being close to the prince allowed Cinderella to continue poisoning him
Everyone wondered why the prince wasn’t getting better
Yet no one suspected Cinderella
As she played the role of concerned lover very well
This went on for months
Until the prince,
In a fragile state of mind
Asked Cinderella if she would still marry him
As the prince wanted to thank her
For taking care of him even though they had just met
The prince believed it was true love
But Cinderella knew better
Maliciously, Cinderella agreed to marry the prince
A few months later, the prince died
And in his will, left everything to her,
Including the entire kingdom.
With the prince out of the way,
And the king easy to kill,
Stating it was old age
Cinderella became queen of the kingdom.
As queen, Cinderella invited her stepmother and stepsisters to live with her in the castle
She dismissed all the staff there and brought her loyal staff from her own home.
And thus was the tale of how the most vicious queen came to be.
