In Another Castle

Princess Penelope has gone missing! A scribbled note left at Bardly and Elphyra's phony wedding reception leads them to the Princess' royal bedroom, where signs of a struggle - and another scribbled note - lead the gang on a wild goose chase through Jestoria, and the surrounding lands, to try to chase down the missing Princess. Because Elphyra has her suspicions as to why Princess Penelope's kidnapping wasn't a kidnapping after all - and his name is Lord Cornelius Fluffington!

Lord Cornelius of nearby Fluffshire has designs on the Princess. And though the foppish and flamboyant Duke is by no means a ladies' man, he nonetheless is intent upon improving diplomatic relations between Fluffshire and Jestoria by manifesting marital relations with Princess Penelope! While he and Sir Cedric set out to find the missing Princess, and eat their way at every dining institution they can write off as an expense to the Kingdom, Bardly and the gang set out on their own, but always seem one step behind the Princess as they muddle their way through their pursuit.

Following the very domineering Libertine Dragonheart's fascination with Bardly and Elphyra's 'romantic' dynamic, to Thornrose Vichy's shocking accusations of Bardly's legal culpability in his second criminal trial in as many weeks, Princess Penelope at last reappears at just the right moment. But her stern refusal to marry Lord Cornelius only inspires him to tearfully demand political asylum as a heartbroken love-seeker, and now he's holed up in the castle under a blanket fort with a 'STAY OUT' sign on the door!

Princess Penelope can't leave him there. But she can't evict him, either - it'll cause a diplomatic row with Fluffshire, and the only way out from here is to convince the lovelorn Lord Cornelius to leave. With three faeries on hand to cause mischief, the sky's the limit on what they can do to mess with his pointy head. But even though that sky includes a red, scaly Poet Laureate, they're still going to have to resort to some quite underhanded tactics to finally send Lord Cornelius - and his simpering, effeminate manservants - back to Fluffshire where they belong!
