Not So Sweet Candyland

LVII: Toffee Estates I

There was a sign right in front of a massive gate and house.

"TOFFEE ESTATES"

Berry finally cheered very quietly.

"Awww yeah. You know what this means? This is going to be fun."

"How fun are you talking about?"

"I know as a high class person, it's the same boring things, but to you, it's going to be fun. High class parties, elegant parties, terrible people, but it's all good. You know why? Because this is a once in a lifetime experience, and this is always a major bucket list for people who Don't have a bucket list."

As they went to open the door.

"Wait."

Berry stopped Chase and she snapped her fingers to change their clothes. Their chic dreads have turned to a short dress for Berry with a tiny hat headband and a sport jacket and fine dreads for Chase.

"Don't compliment me. I get it already."

She banged on the door extremely loudly.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Getting their attention."

That's when somebody grabbed the door and had a stank face, only to melt down when they saw Chase and Berry.

"Oh. It's only two kids. I'm so sorry, whoever knocked really has a fist."

Berry raised her hand.

"That's me, sir."

"Damn. You could really knock out somebody with that punch."

"I'm from a strong family. It's nothing."

"Come on in. Go to the largest mansion in the center, there is currently a party happening there. So please, enjoy your time and don't knock somebody out."

"I can't guarantee it."

They walked past the dude.

"I'm so sorry sir, she has anger issues."

"Hey!"

Berry slapped Chase on the back of his head.

"What was that for?"

"You don't have to do that, you know."

"I'm just trying to be polite, you know."

"Yeah yeah. Tell that to the top dogs who will use you to their advantage. That's the thing, Chase. You can't just let people walk all over you like that. Especially in a setting like this. This will help you be able to get what you want, but let me do the talking first. Because one, you'll obviously mess up and make such a mistake that even I can't fix. And two, you can't step into unfamiliar territory if you never experienced what it's like before. So, just watch."

There was a garden with a fountain. Berry jumped on the stones of the fountain and just walked on the tiles.

"Come on!"

"But, don't we have a party to attend?"

"We need to lighten up a little. I can tell that you're tense."

"But, what if we fall into the waterfall?"

"That's not going to happen. Come on, you idiot!"

She took Chase's hand and they both nearly stumbled. But before Berry fell, Chase held her by the back of her and pulled her closer.

"Oh, I guess that you're Mr. Romantic now. That's a skill that you need to learn while being in the big dog world."

"I just care about you. Come on, you don't want to go into a party being soaking wet."

"That's what some people do when they see somebody that they catch you fancy."

Berry laughed.

"Are you serious? I mean, you're not wrong. There will be people that see somebody from the other side of the room and they get so hot. The amount of times that i can imagine horny aristocrats getting horny at others is astronomical. That's why the rich and the powerful are so disgusting. But, if you're pretty, you can have whatever you want."

"Do these places have lovers?"

"Yep. Harems. Not as grand as the ones from the castle, but it's definitely similar. And, there are male and female harems. The only main difference is that you cannot have babies. That's why your eggs and sperm are numbed. I once nearly got into a harem, but they saw my age and turned me down. You have to be at least 18 years old. But, they thought that I was 18 when I was 15. It's clearly looks and well..."

Berry slid her hand down her dress.

"Charisma and sex appeal. You need to look pretty, act pretty, and give anybody a good time. As in, climax them the second that they throw you down. And plus, being dominant of submissive, it doesn't matter."

"Wait wait wait wait. Has the party even started?"

"Oh yeah. When people walk in, they stop for a moment and panic because they think that the royal court is here or something."

"That's funny. But, I mean, that it's not wrong."

"I'm nothing in the royal family. They are about 20 steps away from disowning me. I am the legal age, you have to be 18 to be disowned. But, my father won't admit it. I am a hidden key of Candyland. I'm the only reason why this world hasn't fell apart yet. But you know, just morally. Many morals are because of my grandmother and mother, although the ones by my mother were never ever considered official.  If anything ever happens to me, the truth about my father will be revealed."

"How so?"

"When an important figure passes on in Candyland, every secret that they had will be brought to light. That is, also the secrets of their loved ones. If I die or get hurt in this world, then my father's past will be revealed to
all."

"How serious?"

"If somebody were to try and murder me, that is. Knowing my father, he would do anything to try and kill me. Do you know how much of a psychopath he is? He even tried killing my mother! I am not letting him get away with everything that he did to my family! Of course, he is royal blood, but he would be killed by his own royal family himself, and everything he did would come to light. Years of blackmail and brainwashing would be revealed."

"But who would take the throne when this happens?"

"Whoever is next in line, which is Taffy."
