Royal Pains

Royal Servant:  At last, we found you!  The lost heir to the throne of Strudelberg!   Queen:  What? Servant:  The royal castle has an ancient history, and a wonderful assortment of insanity-inducing ghosts!  Our citizens so enjoy forming angry mobs.  What fun!  Man-eating griffins sometimes attack the kingdom, but that only happens every few days.  Well, what do you think? Queen:  I think I'm quitting. Servant:  You're the queen!  You can't- Queen:  Byeee!

They probably should have eased her into this a bit more slowly.  A decade is a good minimum.

Now and Future Queen

Some adults coo over an adorable baby.  An older child approaches and addresses the baby.   Adult:  What a little darling! Adult:  Aren't you precious?  Yes, you are! Child:  You see this?  You're cute, and everyone knows it.  So this is your mission:  You must exploit this as much as humanly possible.  You shall win their hearts.  You shall control their minds.  Remember me, oh future queen, when you conquer the Earth!  Ah-ha-ha!!! The child leaves.  The baby giggles.  The adults stare at her with great concern.

People don't usually worry about an infant's potential for megalomania.  Time to start worrying.

Floral Necromancy

A necromancer's spells only work on plants I summon the spirit of this deceased begonia!

Ran out of stuff to summon, or is just lousy at working with non-plants?  You decide.
