We all know Queen Chrysalis posed as Cadence to steal Shining Armor's love, so she could rule Equestria. But why did she want to marry Shining Armor instead of just stealing his magic? In the actual song she says she doesn't love him, but wants him all to herself.
Was it just me, or did anyone else think that was a little weird? Did she just say that to uphold her villan image, or did she have another reason? Did she love Shining Armor? This is my story on the story behind the story. Enjoy!
