Watch Candy do her work.

The proud and mighty King of Nureteru swims straight into the Chamber of Scrolls with an eager movement to the sway of his tailfin. He gazes around, though thankfully not to you--poofy white hair and beard shifting around like cartoony clouds. His chest is wide and strong, as well as covered in several necklaces, though his expression is soft in contrast. Atop his head is a pale blue crown. Zag the guard leads him, though the king seems more interested in what's meant to be in the library. You wonder what he was told to be lured here.

"My snookums!" King Agam cries with joy as his attention locks directly onto the incoming fake-Iri. Though before he can embrace his wife, she holds out her hand to stop him.

Phew. Things would have gone downhill fast if he actually managed to touch her.

"I'll leave you two alone," says Zag before departing.

Now the king and queen both face one another in solitude, or at least that's what he believes. Queen Iri crosses her arms right beneath her bouncy bust, and she looks to the side with a face of disgust. "I have something important to talk to you about," she says.

"Y-Yes. That's what I was told. What is it, my sweet?" he asks.

It seems she's purposely not speaking like a bimbo. Instead, she speaks in a cold and brutal tone. Acting in a way that would attract him more would be the wrong move, and it seems Candy understands that. Instead, she sounds more like who Irirangi truly is. She thrusts her finger forwards with a piercing glare. "This marriage isn't working out!"

"What?!"

"That's right. I've been lying to you for long enough. I can't believe how easy it was to manipulate my way in, but now I'm finished. My plan is complete, and I don't have to spend another minute with you, Agam."

"Wh-What are you saying, my sweetie-pie?"

Damn. This is brutal. The poor guy doesn't deserve this, but I guess it's the only way to help him.

"You fool." She clenches her fist, and as she does, a crackle of lightning travels up her arm. "Don't you know the tale of the Aquatic Scourge? How you could allow a sea witch to infiltrate so deeply into the Royal Palace that Irirangi herself could become queen is beyond me!"

"Iri--... No. It can't be."

"It can. And nobody will believe you, Agam. Nobody. Try all you may, but the people love Queen Iri, and you're far too late to stop me regardless." Candy laughs maniacally. It's all pretty cheesy, but by the look on the king's face, it's no less devastating. "You always knew, didn't you? I pretended to be your ideal woman. You couldn't even tell."

"This isn't real. No, no. Iri, please. We can talk--"

"No talking! I'm leaving now. And you're not strong enough to catch me." With a grin and her hands up in the air, she suddenly bursts into a flash of crackling energy. Candy does know how to put on a show. When the magic settles, she's gone. Queen Iri has vanished, and now only the king remains in quiet contemplation.

You look to Snow. "Do you think he bought all that? Kinda cruel, but I guess he needed a wakeup call too."

"I don't know, but I think I hear Kailani coming."
