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!”
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.
