Chapter 654: This Kingdom Is So Pitiful

Two days after Ethan and the King had their talk, the young man stood in front of Princess Ramona's residence to bid the two girls farewell.

"I'll come back as soon as I can," Ethan said. "Make sure to stay safe, while I'm away."

"I will," Princess Ramona replied.

"Come back as soon as you can, and make sure to bring souvenirs," Joanne commented with her arms crossed over her chest.

"We want sweets!" Lapis, who was sitting on Princess Ramona's shoulder stated.

"Yes! We want sweets!"

"This Kingdom is so pitiful. They don't even have cake only bread."

"They don't even have candies. Only fruits!

"They have no chocolates! Only fruit juice!"

"Why can't they even make something as simple as macarons? What kind of backwater Kingdom is this?!"

"This Kingdom needs an upgrade on their sweets production! We will make Ramona the Queen to ensure that this will be called a Sweets Kingdom in the future!"

"""Yes!"""

The Fairies, who weren't satisfied with the food of the Magdar Kingdom started to complain, and made a ruckus, making Princess Ramona cover her face in embarrassment.

Having her Kingdom called pitiful and backwater hurt more than she expected, but since she knew that aside from their addiction to sweets, the Fairies had been good to her and even played with her everyday.

"Okay, how about this?" Ethan raised his finger. "I'll fill up several baskets with candies before I leave. Just eat them in moderation, so they won't be gone right away."

"""Yay!"""

"Master, you're the best!"

"Master, you're awesome!"

"Master, you're amazing!"

"Master, marry me!"

Ethan only smiled as he asked the maids to bring him several empty baskets.

The candies from the Celestial Domain couldn't be brought out to the outside world, so he would need to use his stockpile of candies to satisfy the sweet-loving fairies, who would be left behind to become Ramona's and Joanne's playmates.

After her initial shock passed, Joanne found that the Fairies were actually nice, and very friendly.

Since she was Ethan's sister, they praised her a lot, and flattered her to the point of being bootlickers.

They knew that if they got along with their Master's sister, they would get rewarded with sweets, so they didn't hesitate to become friends with Joanne and Princess Ramona.

Ethan also handed a bag of sweets to Princess Ramona and Joanne, which left the former confused, and the latter happy.

"What is this?" Princess Ramona as she picked up a colorful candy shaped like a ball from the small pouch that Ethan had given her.

"It's called candy," Lapis said. "Go on, put it in your mouth and have a taste."

Princess Ramona glanced at Ethan and the latter nodded at her, telling her that it was safe to eat.

The moment the sweetness spread inside her mouth, Princess Ramona's eyes widened in shock.

"It's good!" Princess Ramona exclaimed, making the fairies look at her smugly, as if they were welcoming a new sister in their fold, who would soon know how good candies were.

Joanne, on the other hand, ate quietly.

Unlike the princess, who was ignorant about sweets, she had been raised with a golden spoon.

Anything she wanted to eat was given to her, so eating cakes and sweets had become the norm to her.

Just like the Fairies, she was also disappointed by how simple the desserts were in the Magdar Kingdom.

Fortunately, her brother had a stockpile of candies and chocolates, which he used to bribe the Fairies of Brynhildr Academy.

After making sure that the Fairies would have enough candies to last them for weeks, Ethan finally bid his goodbye and summoned his Wind Dancer.

"See you soon," Ethan said before flying high up in the sky, heading northwards.

The smile on Joanne's face widened after her brother finally left. There were a lot of things that she couldn't do because he was always around.

Now that Ethan was gone, she could finally proceed with the plan she had in mind in order to support Ramona, so that she would become the Queen of the Magdar Kingdom.

Originally, she didn't have any intention of intervening with the politics of the Kingdom. But, after becoming Princess Ramona's friend, the devilish girl had come up with a plan after Prince Rufus' plan to charm her backfired on him.

Before leaving Prince Amir's residence that day, Joanne's Other Half not only charmed Prince Rufus, she also charmed Prince Amir as well.

Using these two individuals, she asked them to come up with an event where the other Princes and the Nobles of the Kingdom would gather together.

The two, who were now her loyal slaves, proposed to hold a welcoming party for her, so that the influential Nobles could talk to her privately during the party, which was the perfect opportunity to charm them.

Yes.

Joanne's plan was sinister because she planned to charm the entirety of the Magdar Kingdom, with the exception of its King.

Fortunately, her Charm doesn't render the affected people's freedom.

They would just feel deep devotion towards her, which would not hinder them from performing their duties.

Even if someone used a spell to observe the Charmed Individuals, they would not detect anything.

That was how potent Joanne's Charm Ability was, which was a specialty of her Other Half.

Ethan's sister didn't like doing things passively, while they waited for King Baldur to make a decision on who he would choose as his successor.

Even if the King chose a different candidate, aside from her friend, that was fine as well.

Those candidates would forever be subservient to Joanne, listening to whatever she said.

Even if she returned to the future, the Charm Spell would persist unless someone extremely powerful was able to detect and dispel it.

However, Joanne's Other Half wasn't too worried about that.

By the time someone discovered her plan, the King would have already chosen his successor, who would ensure that Joanne lived a happy and fulfilling life.

Joanne glanced at her friend, who was now surrounded by Fairies.

All of them were urging her to look for people whom they could teach the art of candy making to.

The Princess was totally on-board with this idea because, after tasting how delicious candies and chocolates were, she believed that it would be a great loss if she wasn't able to share this delicious discovery with her entire Kingdom.
