Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

Five years since King Stefan's death,[N 1] Aurora has benevolently reigned as Queen of the Moors, alongside Maleficent as its powerful guardian and protector. Despite her service, the neighbouring kingdom of Ulstead, home to Aurora's boyfriend Prince Philip, still sees Maleficent as a dangerous villain. Diaval, Maleficent's raven and confidant, overhears Aurora accepting Philip's marriage proposal. When he relays this to Maleficent, she advises against the union, though Aurora vows to prove her wrong.
