Being a princess seems easy on the surface, but as Cadance reflects on her coronation, she realizes that the cost was too high, as she knows what happened to her fellow princess Amore, who dared to challenge the system. This past isn't something she can just hide, and she comes to realize that she could lose Shining Armor in much the same way...and decides to take action.
