Is what the queen thought but unfortunately the witch was wickedly smart.

She trained the young prince in all kinds of shape shifting magic until he could turn himself into a woman.

Now the newly minted princess walks through the streets demanding citizens overthrow the evil queen who would happily give up her own children for power and wealth.

At first the queen tried to defame the witch princess calling her witch and casting doubt on the fact that she is not a real woman, but a man shape-shifting into one.

At first the citizens struggled to believe who but the Princess who thoroughly hated her mother for using her as part of the faustian deal used her magic to sway people until they all followed her.

It was not long before she ascended the throne and became the new queen with her witch master as her advisor.

Long the live the witch queen.
