Queen

Is it better to be feared or better to be loved?
I'm both.
I am feared because I am Mathilda Zelda, warrior Queen of Aina O Koa, victor over seven kingdoms, Slabyy, Xuruo de, Yaghan, Deo Ganghage, Forte, Vitoria, and Sheva. The kings of the lands around my growing empire step carefully. I was feared for my wrath, my skill in battle, for the cobras, scorpions, and lion I keep as pets. For my lipstick made from cobra venom. For my mind which outsmarted many a foe. For basically all I am, I am feared.
But once I am a land's new queen, the people grow to love me. Aina O Koa was a dying land when I took the throne, now even my poorest had a roof of their very own over their heads, every single one. My farms are booming, my people can or are learning to read and write, and a vain of diamonds was found. To my people, I am Queen Mathilda Zelda, the best ruler they've ever had.
I really don't know whether it was better to be feared or loved.
