## History

The Pastel Kingdom Royal Family has had a treatise for centuries, where members of their family married the most physically attractive candidate, so that the child resulting from their union would be the sum of their collective beauty. This ensured that each generation was more beautiful than the last, aiming for legendary beauty that attracted forest animals, made flowers bloom, and emitted a sparkling light, in the hopes that eventually, the spell for everlasting beauty would be unlocked.

Prince Jack of the Pastel Kingdom was so beautiful and delicate that many people mistook him for a woman at first glance. As he grew up, he abhorred stories about people stealing national treasures from foreign lands for their own selfish interests. He grew up to become the self-proclaimed "Robin Hood of Relics", returning stolen treasures of mystical origin to their homelands. He also became best friends with Leland, the heir to the throne of the Plaid Kingdom.

One day, at twenty-two years old, Jack returned home from one of his exploits with Lilyth, a girl hailing from the Braided Islands, and declared her his fiancé. This greatly displeased his parents, as they found Lilyth ugly, with scaly green skin, strangely green hair, and fish-like features. The royal family was upset, believing that Lilyth becoming the mother of Jack’s children would ruin their centuries- long beauty treatise just as they were nearing their end goal. Despite their objections, however, Jack and Lilyth eventually married, and produced four children together. Surprisingly, the first three children born, Princess Maria, Princess Lorena, and Prince Jamie, inherited none of their mother’s physical traits, and were exactly the type of exquisite beauties that their grandparents and ancestors had dreamed about, each possessing one of the three magical qualities that the treatise had aimed for. It was only the youngest child, Princess Gwen, who inherited any physical traits from Lilyth.

Three years after giving birth to her last child, Queen Lilyth died. On her deathbed, she made her husband promise three things. The first was to keep their daughters hidden from the outside world, and the second was to hide any portraits of her, both of which Jack tearfully obliged her. The third promise was to locate an undisclosed object, which he could not carry out immediately. After Lilyth died, Jack lost his own sparkle, but continued to carry out his wife’s last wishes. For the next thirteen years, he forbid their daughters from leaving the castle, even going so far as threatening the guards with execution for just looking at them. He also locked all her portraits in a secret room. As for the third request, he searched endlessly, but failed every time.

Thirteen years after Lilyth’s death, when their daughters had become teenagers, Leland, now King of the Plaid Kingdom and married, proposed an arranged marriage between Jack’s daughter and Leland’s own three sons, Prince Blaine, Prince Lance, and Prince Frederick. Jack agreed to the marriage, since Leland had remained his best friend throughout all the years, and even sent a portrait to the Plaid Kingdom so that the princes could get a look at what their future wives would look like. This portrait also included Prince Jamie, who was mistaken by the Princes for one of the Princesses, and attracted the attention of Frederick, the youngest prince. A portrait of the Plaid Princes was also given to Jack’s daughters, who were utterly delighted to see how handsome their prospective fiancés were.

The Plaid Princes traveled to the Pastel Kingdom to formally meet their brides-to-be. Prince Blaine, the oldest and heir to the Plaid Kingdom, chose Maria, the firstborn Pastel Princess, as his future Queen, while Lance connected with Lorena, the second oldest. Frederick, unfortunately, was shocked and horrified to find out that his fiancé was Gwen, whom he had thought to be a ghost haunting the portrait, the girl he had been attracted to in the portrait was in fact her brother Jamie. Despite this, the marriage plans proceeded, albeit with snags, as Jack kept postponing the wedding date and putting off making any plans.

## Trivia

* This kingdom located in the hills and considered as "backwater kingdom" which make it's Haunted Forest make perfect place for the Cursed Princess Club to resides.
* The Kingdom's self-claimed treasure based on Helena and Jesse is "**the alchemy of beauty**". An *eugenics* idealism to keep 'breeding' one heir of them to another with the most beautiful spouse they're could thinking so their progeny will be more beautiful. When the previous rulers (before Jack's) finds the spouse choice of their crown prince sole heir is someone that they're deem as ugly - they're try the hardest to breaks the relationship of Leelathae (Lilyth)/Jack.
* Although the kingdom territory is small, but it has decades of peace to make the guards too relaxed. The maids are actually trained bodyguards with special weapon.
* As the kingdom of the protagonist, and where the tritagonist makes her save haven - this kingdom is the most explained one in the whole series.
* As the story progress and with calculation of **physic** ( distance / velocity x time ) it could calculating the (*prediction*) distance of this kingdom to other major kingdoms (The Plaid and The Polygon) - based on the travelling time reference and the speed of common wagon/carriage (the usual speed is **2 miles [3.2km]** per hour & the average carriage/wagon distance coverage per day is **15 to 20 miles [24 to 32 km]**).
	+ Episode 133 shows that the CPC members need the total of **16 hours** to arrives at the Haunted Forest in rushing carriage from just leaving the Polygon after Bippity Bop Gala. The CPC carriage is on faster speed than usual, but for the sake of easier calculation then 16 x 2 miles [3.2 km] = **32 miles [51.2 km]** which make the travelling distance between Pastel-Polygon is more (near on twice) of the average wagon/carriage coverage a day.
	+ Tattersall comments that the invasion plan begins at 1800 (6 pm) and as the Plaid troop arrives - Blaine greets Beckett and Elderly Foot Guard with "good evening" which means the time likely still at 2100 (9 pm). Based on that time commentaties than it could be predicted that the distance with carriage of plaid-pastel is **3 hours**, which make the calculation as following : 3 x 2 miles [3.2km] = **6 miles [9.6 km]** of the distance that the Plaids need to take for reaching the Pastel Palace. The distance revealation of Pastel-Plaid makes Frederick journey to the Pastel Palace after just escaping the prison of the Plaid Palace could be seen as inhumane because he manages to beat down the speed of his kingdom's carriages while bringing Laverne which weighted more than 200 kilograms.
