I don't own anything, but please enjoy the story. I apologized for a long wait.


Chapter 5: What if the rumor was true? Part 1

King Charming had regrets in his mind but knew the rumors falsified when he wouldn't do this Mrs. Beauty. He knew Snow White spreading bad rumors due to Daring refused to go near Apple White. If he had a right common sense when the headmaster sent the reports to what he assumed. He knew that he's the original Prince Charming, but regretted his poor decision. He expected to have his harem, but it didn't work out very well.

He considered a horrible person to disregarded his past wives' accidents when he wanted to do a DNA test to see if Ashlynn, Briar, and Apple were his half-daughters. It's true when he married, but he confirmed when Apple is his daughter. He raised to become a Prince Charming, but it remained a downfall on how he needs to learn to bridge a connection between his wife and him. He doesn't know how to become a good husband before he met his wife (surname Knight).

To Mrs. Beauty calling him a "rapist", it's uncalled for.

He checked his DNA, but the results came before Brair left. He surprised when she hadn't been specific since she's unconscious. Her accusation brought his reputation under questioning and the rumors made everyone assumed without the full evidence. Apple and Ashlynn Ella proved to be his daughters when he knew that he had an affair with both wives.

From back then, he was the only Charming in Ever After High when the headmaster recruited a few others from different regions. He didn't tell anyone when he uncovered another scandal behind Ever After High and the students weren't aware of their parents and their secondary inheritance. Either of the students told anyone that they raised by different races. Milton Grimm wasn't aware of this, Tiny didn't tell anyone on that his mother abandoned him at a young age after his father's death.

He felt horrible for Jillian Beanstalk when her father wasn't famous at all when he killed an innocent giant for his story. He forced to face the consequences of his actions when he challenged another race through Mrs. Beanstalk. He failed when he crushed to death from what Tiny told the new counselor. Did he face the consequences? Yes, Headmaster Grimm was to blame, but it became deaf ear until now.

After this, Mr. Piper forced to face the consequences since they have a "child killer" in their school. He reminded when the mayor didn't give Piper on what he wanted. He used his flute to brainwash the children and drowned them out of vendetta from town. The Mayor remained at fault due to his greed, but the town suffered a loss. Nobody knows what happened to him as Mr. Piper founded in Evergreen Forest and his body carried out as it ruled "suicide". It kept in the darkness behind the public.

Melody Piper didn't hesitate when she confirmed that she's not going to become a child killer. She went this far into changing her name from a "Piper" to "Wave" from a counselor. Why did she change her surname? She knew her mother wasn't going to allow her to go into a dark path thanks to a hidden affair. She had high hopes when it comes to her love and compassion, but won't go down as a killer.

This is what he heard from Melody's conversation with the counselor, but how did he get a connection to change her surname?

Out of everyone, it will confirm that Milton Grimm will do a Thronecoming. It's complicated when he refused to admit his mistake or the consequences.

It's not to mention the School Board planned to terminate his contract, unlike the past generations… This School Board represented the schools that anyone doesn't know about until now. Someone continued to pull the plug on the changes, but he knew who it is.


Flashback…

"there have been some changes since Daring doesn't want to do anything with his half-sister and I don't think it's wise to force him to do."

"But Apple."

"You don't regard to children's happiness, but ridiculed them into following their destinies. I'm willing to support Daring when he finds his true love in Lizzie Hearts."

"You don't understand."

"No, why will I be naïve to conclude to allow incest in our family? You know Apple and Daring related, but swept it under the rug. It's disgusting and it will tarnish both reputations if anyone figured their relationship as siblings."

He had a talk with Milton Grimm and threatening to expose the scandals to his enemies if anyone figured it out. He used to support Milton Grimm but began to realize what's wrong with this picture. What's wrong this man? He didn't saw him as a role model, but a manipulative to anyone.

He doesn't know why he didn't saw this before. He has two daughters under his name, but Briar remained under questions. It proved that he's not his daughter, but he knew that Milton associated with Snow White. This woman cared nothing more than fame and attention, but don't know any morals to her daughter.

Why must history repeat again?

Milton hid the truth about the students giving a second option tied to their DNA if they refused to follow in their paths. It's not an easier task to do if he hid the whole truth about the schools. He couldn't forgive him when he disregarded the main issue.

He didn't lend a helping hand to reversing the Wonderland's curse and act like it didn't exist. He hid the whole truth behind close down for nothing more, but power and corruption.

King Charming decided to take actions when he's willing to allow his children to follow their own destinies.

After this conversation ended.

King Charming planned to change the course since it's not as challenging through various rumors. He knew it's necessary when he demanded the whole course changes, but if he refused. Man, he's going to march up to the School Board to make a demand to leave the Milton Grim shock and surprised.

"You can go kiss Snow White's bottom all I care if you are willing to report this to her. Tell her, if she tried to spread bad rumors about me and then I'm willing to take this to court between you and her."

He left.

Flashback Ended…


"Mr. Charming, it's nice to see you," the counselor smiled when he stepped inside. It's a different vibe when Baba Yaga wasn't around anymore when it's strange on how the disco declarations levitated from the ceiling. He had collection behind the glass display when he noticed that they were foreign. He continued to walk straight to an emptied chair waiting for him.

"Yes, I needed to have a word for you," he hesitated.

"Was it tied to the bad rumor?"

Mr. Charming nodded.

"Yes, but is there some way to have my younger children to follow their own path without the system."

He noticed on this counselor wore a black business attire with a red collared shirt. He seemed a bit different when he has long black hair and black eyes, but he had a welcoming vibe. There's something odd about him and he knew Milton Grimm didn't like him.

"I thought you are a supporter."

"Not anymore," Mr. Charming said calmly, "I was…"

"Good and I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Calypso."

Mr. Charming murmured on how Milton Grimm didn't inform anyone on the new counselor due to a disagreement. Calypso remained a normal businessman, but his mind screamed out that he came from Monster High or what. Without a choice, Calypso and Mr. Charming carried a conversation behind a closed door.

One questioned speculated if Apple White was his daughter when it confirmed. He knew her mother had something to hide behind his back after they married.

Meanwhile, Milton Grimm didn't take the news when he received nothing more than complaints from letters and calls. He sent it all to his assistant when he tried to figure out on how's he getting out of this situation. He didn't expect Piper's untimely death when the knights ruled it "suicide", but the School Board demanded answers on why he had a child killer in their school. He had no idea when the village and the former mayor held a grudge against him. It raised red flags in a logical approach from scholars, but the rumors weren't helping the whole situation.

Mr. Charming knew that he told Snow White about this scandal, but he didn't cause a rumor to speculated. Mrs. Beauty called Mr. Charming out, but it couldn't be true about Briar, Apple, and Ashlynn being Mr. Charming's daughters. He reminded that Mr. Charming remains the only Prince Charming in the school, but they are other Prince Charmings except not in this realm.

Scandal rose up from the left and right, but he hopes that it ended very soon.

It's not going to end when the School Board confirmed that Milton Grimm is going to become replaced.

It left the narrators scratching their own heads.
