Wow, what a fucked up parent she is.
That...explains a lot.
How the fuck was she elected queen?

The mom foresaw that no matter how much anyone tried, Pryde was destined to be a terrible and despicable person, and she felt terrible that she had to choose between acting as a mother; providing unconditional love, or acting as a queen; preparing for the true successor that she foresaw. She's absolutely distraught over this. Pryde's father chose to give unconditional love even though it was his downfall in the original game and Pryde's mother chose to ensure the future of her kingdom. I don't blame her for it. Y'all saw how the 'last boss villain, Pryde' is: she unnecessarily tricked Stayle into a slave contract and then commanded him to kill his own mother. Pryde's mother didn't think she can change that.
When Pryde's father tells her mother of how Pryde has changed ever since she's gotten the ability, she's was cautious at first because they both knew that 'villain Pryde' is a selfish, despicable girl who might be acting. But when she meets Pryde in person, and sees how she's changed, she's so relieved, proud and overjoyed, so much so that she wants to spoil her rotten. But she's scared that if she spoils her she might revert back. She does love Pryde, and she feels remorseful that she hasn't been a proper mother to her.
Later on, she tries to be in Pryde's life more.
What a great thinking... #－.－)
Now that I think about it, wasn't the previous Pryde a psycho because the queen didn't care about her?
You know like most responsible mothers and leaders do.
I'm not too sure what factors made her become twisted. Based on my knowledge, Villain Pryde didn't have that kind of tragic background. She was just a spoiled, entitled brat that expected to be treated the best and mistreated people she considered lower than her.

The mom foresaw the version of Pryde that is total horrible person. So instead of dealing with it like a grown up and working on preventing, like an actual parent, it she decided to ignore it.
