In a tale set in Tanobar, King Chamian and Queen Millice charm crowds with feats from arena events to spelling bees.

The minister Gremline promotes Cosmic Beans, which is ordered burned after caution from Millice about work and societal collapse.
In Kobol land a griffin drama pleases Tarabar audiences while Nustyrians jeer. Queen Millice commands mercy for Atto as the griffin deposits him at his tent. A later spelling bee includes Chamian and Lista among Kobol land competitors judged by a wizard and the Fairy Queen. Chamian buys a cup of tea plant for Millice as excitement ends at dawn.
