The Villain isn't always the Villain. The Victims aren't always clear cut. Chrysalis knows this first and foremost.

"I am considered merciful for my status as a Princess. My kingdom is at peace, all good prevails with ease- everything is just like it should be. We can't satisfy everyone- that's a fact you'll have to face. Yet, right to my dismay- when there's a will, there's a way. Its not too hard to put an underdog back in their place."

She was the princess that never should have been. A cruel heart beneath a status that said otherwise. Cadance is a pony to be feared. A pony with a unique ability.

One that's poorly regulated and seemingly mundane in nature.

However, not everypony falls for her faux nature. There has been revolt after revolt for those that disagreed with her dictatorship. Life was fickle with the terms used. "Villain" and "Hero" are only to be used when the victory is given; they aren't always accurate. History, by far, is written by the victors.

With magic like hers, it doesn't matter whether "Changelings" existed or not. They were simply enemies. Crystalline Armour knows this far too well.

The Final Cadance

History was made by the victors; those that were small made no difference. Those that were small, but made a big difference were no different, either.

This was especially so when it opposed the Queen with a title that showed otherwise. When history is made by the Queen, it doesn't need to be accurate. It just needs to prove they had proven victorious in one manner or another, whether accurate or not. This was a given, more so when the victor was as cruel as she was. Despite this shortcoming, some history is still kept to this day. Those that were forced into conflict will always have one to pass that down to. There is always a pony that will hear the reality, even if there aren't that many ponies that know.

I know this for a fact.
