Ever wondered why Anastacius became a tyrant? What if he had an Empress who died before giving birth to the crown princess. What if that was the starting point of becoming a tyrant.
A blonde girl stared blankly at the grinning albino in front of him. "I'm sorry, what did you say your name was again?"
The albino's grin widened if that was even possible. "My name is Merlin, Miss Elizabeth. And yes, I'm The Merlin, if that helps."
"Right..."Elizabeth said unconvinced.
"Why can't you believe me?!"
"I'm sorry, I'm just having a hard time believing that you're Merlin. The so-called great merlin in the knights of the round table story with King Arthur."
"I'll have you know I am great, not so-called great as you so rudely pointed out!" Merlin huffed.
"Yes well, to be honest, I'm not that big fan of Merlin."
"Oh? Why not." Merlin asked, curiously.
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it obvious?"
Merlin raised an eyebrow as if to say he had no idea what she was getting at.
Elizabeth sighed, defeated. "He's too much of a goody-two-shoes. I prefer Morgana."
"Morga- You do realize she was a dark mage correct!" He exclaimed with disbelief.
"And whose fault was that she became like that?!"
"Point. Anyway! I am Merlin. Now let's talk about why you're here, young lady."
"Get on with it, old man."
Merlin's eyebrows twitched at 'old man.' "I'm not old!"
"Yes, you're right. You're not old." Merlin smiled; however, it dropped when he heard what she said next. "You're ancient." Elizabeth smiled serenely.
"Why you!"
A dark feminine chuckle interrupted them. "My my she's an interesting one, isn't she?"
They turned around and looked at the raven-haired woman with amber eyes. "Morgana. Why are you here?"
Morgana smirked. "Well, a little birdy told me, someone likes me more than you...old man."
Merlin's eyes twitched while Elizabeth chuckled. Morgana looked at Elizabeth and smiled. "My name is Morgana Lefay. A pleasure to meet you, Elizabeth."
"Pleasure's all mine, Lady Morgana." Elizabeth smiled.
A tick mark appeared on Merlin's temple. "HEY! Why do you believe she's Morgana when you denied I'm Merlin!"
Elizabeth shrugged while Morgana chuckled.
"Tell me, Elizabeth, have you read the Lovely Princess novel." Merlin asked.
"Yes. It was very disappointing, in my opinion."
"Right? Let's say if you somehow were able to change things in that novel, what would you want to change?" Morgana said.
Elizabeth hummed. "Well, first of all, I clearly would do something about that annoying brunette, Jenette. I would make it so that she would not be able to get in the Emperor's good graces." Elizabeth smiled sadistically. "After all, there are so many ways you can make it look like an accident." She chuckled.
She's so much like Morgana! Merlin shivered. "Anything else?"
"Well, I believe that Anastacius, despite his cold black heart of his needs someone to care about him."
Morgana and Merlin nodded.
"Anything else?"
"Well, I would make sure that Athanasia has a good relationship with Claude. She doesn't deserve to die like that. I would also put a contingency plan in place if anything goes south."
"Excellent points. Now I believe she deserves to change that ridiculous plotline, don't you think so, old man." Morgana smirked.
Merlin's eyes twitched. "Yes, you're right old hag!"
A tick mark appeared on Morgana's temple. "Who're you calling old hag you ancient senile geezer!"
"Why you!"
Sparks appeared between their eyes.
Elizabeth cleared her throat. "If you could put your childish actions aside for one moment, that would be great."
Merlin and Morgana humphed before looking away from each other.
Merlin cleared his throat. "Listen Elizabeth, I'm-"
"We." Morgana corrected Merlin.
Merlin's eyes twitched. "We." He said, annoyed. "Are sending you to the Lovely Princess world to-"
"Cause chaos and mayhem." Morgana chirped.
"Change the things as you see fit, not cause choas and mayhem!" Merlin exclaimed.
"Don't listen to him. You can do whatever you want." Morgana smiled mischievously.
Elizabeth giggled.
"As I was saying. You can change anything you want. But make sure to do the things that you told us earlier."
Elizabeth nodded,
"Oh, and I'm going to give you something before you go. As a gift from me, I'll give you Arthur's sword, Excalibur." Merlin said as a gold light outlining a sword appeared in his hands. He directed the light orb towards Elizabeth. Elizabeth watched curiously as the gold light changed to a word tattoo in inside her left arm.
"I will also give you powers. You will have the ability to talk with snakes. The snakes will be your loyal friends and will serve you faithfully. Second, you will be able to use dark arts. You will have a stronger affinity to that and will not get affected by the dark arts. And third, you will not be manupilatuued in any way, not even mind manupulation magic or curses." Morgana said as she sent a dark orb towards Elizabeth, which went towards where the sword was placed. She watched in awe as the tattoo changed to a snake wrapped around a sword.

Morgana smirked triumphantly at Merlin as if to say 'Ha! how's that old geezer!'
Merlin's eyes twitched. "Why you!" He sighed deeply before looking at Elizabeth. "Anyway, I'm sending you to the Lovely Princess world. Have a good life Elizabeth."
"Take care of yourself, my young apprentice." Morgana smirked before everything went black.
Obelia Empire
Elizabeth slowly opened her eyes and looked at the blonde man holding her in his arms.
"Your name will be Anastasia de Alger Obelia. My daughter." Anastacius smirked.
Eh? Elizabeth blinked before reality hit her hard. ANASTACIUS IS MY FATHER?!
