"So, Queen, who is the next queen after Sywynne, if you have time and all?" Marco said nervously.
"I have all the time for my subjects, especially my daughter's friend, Marco." Moon chuckled. "But this is gonna be strange for you when I told you the story of the 13th Queen of Mewni."
Moon pointed the tapestry of the 13th queen. A girl with pink hair and eyes, with red crosses on her cheeks, wearing a humble nurse outfit and handing out soups among the plebeians. In her left hand, a small golden scepter wrapped in a snake. At the top, the cross shining and a pink crystal in the shape of a heart.
The pedestal rose and glowed.
Soupina The Strange
With hunger and disease
The Strange Queen has ended,
Through the soups and spells
She always defended"Wait, why Soupina's title 'The Strange'? Marco asked. "Is she a stranger or something?"
"You see, Marco..." Moon sat calmly on a chair. "Ever since she was a child, Soupina's behaviour and personality had already made both the court and the servants of the castle wonder if the princess was 'mentally' normal. You know, everybody thinks she's crazy, but Skywynne only said she was peculiar. But then, she found Soupina was talking to a tree in the garden. That's not all. That's not exactly how people described her as 'The Strange'. Soupina has always been a lover of soup, and her father was the one who named her. Her father, who had been the Royal Chef before becoming King, tried to teach her the secrets of gastronomy, but she was only interested in soup. She even learned the mewnian demotic alphabet through an alphabet soup rather than the ordinary literacy classes. Soupina also won a balloon and named it 'Baloo=Balow'. When the balloon was blown away 5 days later, Soupina waved to the balloon and said: 'Baloo-Balee, Baloo-Balow; I let you go, I let you'. My mother also thought me that when I couldn't let go of something, and I always felt better afterwards."
Marco laughed a little. "Now, that's quite... strange. Not you when you tried to let go of something, but was Soupina when she did all of those things when she was a child, and, yeah, it's hard to let go."
"I know." Moon giggled. "Those things about Soupina, almost reminded me of Star, but she's not like Soupina. Anyway, when Soupina got her magic wand, Soupina's magical training proved limited in the beginning. She did nothing with her spells other than soup. The only thing that varied was their flavour. Next months, few children of the servants gossiping and mocking her, calling her 'Soupina the Strange.'"
"So, that's how she got her title?"
"Not yet. They didn't label her that yet. That's the time Glossaryck taught her to dip down."
"Oh. You mean that power that Star used without her wand?"
"Kind of. Yes. Soupina showed great difficulty in understanding dip down, so she 'literally' dip down, as in...," Moon covered her mouth, trying not to laugh hard. "She dipedp herself in the soup."
