Other potion
Remembering one of the failed potions from the other day, you grab it from your pocket and instantly launch it up at your mother, splashing her fur slightly with the misty purple liquid. In an instant your mother began melting as if she was a cone of ice cream left out on a hot day.
"I'm melting! What a world! How could you-" the queen's shrill screams echoed out for miles throughout the kingdom as her body began to disintegrate into the floor as if her body were transforming into vapor before your very eyes.
"Well that was dramatic" you thought to yourself as you pondered your enormous mother's treacheries. From that day on, you decided to never use science for a purpose you were unsure of beforehand. Having learned your lesson, you continued your studies and work in the field. Your findings produced many successful discoveries, as well as the occasional failure, but never breaking through a glass ceiling; your lifelong work had never received the proper recognition you had desired. Though as you continued your career in the research science fields, you couldn't help but wonder if your reputation had been tainted by that one incident.
For the rest of your life, you felt stuck doing something you both enjoyed and resented as the entire kingdom either loved you for defeating your mother, or resented you for helping cause it. Other than the distaste in your stagnation, you actually lived a very neutral life.
