"The Charming Kingdom is a quiet place," Smithers said. "It has many small villages on the outskirts of the kingdom and many wealthy estates in the center, near the palace."[1]

Characteristics

The second largest kingdom in the Land of Stories, spread across to the south. Ruled by Queen Cinderella and her husband King Chance Charming.

Its people are referred to as "Cinderellian society".[2]

History

The Dragon Age

All of the Land of Stories is terrorized by dragons.

The Age of Magic

The Happily Ever After Assembly is founded and the kingdoms are divided. Cinderella becomes Queen after finding her Prince Charming at the royal ball.

The Golden Age

After years of "living happily ever after", the Enchantress threatens to take over the Land of Stories. Roughly a year later, General Marquis and the Grande Armée arrive and attack the kingdoms. In the Charming Kingdom, its citizens join the army to fight back. When that crisis is overcome, the Masked Man attacks the kingdom.

Story

The Wishing Spell

The Charming Kingdom is the second kingdom the twins go to while searching for the items for the Wishing Spell. They run into a Bridge Troll, try to sneak into Cinderella's castle, are discovered, meet Cinderella, and leave without taking her glass slipper. They then discover one of the slippers in their backpack. They return to the Charming Kingdom at the end of the book to attend the naming of Cinderella and Chance's daughter, Princess Hope

The Enchantress Returns

In the second part of the series, the Charming royals invite the other monarchs to an Assembly to discuss the return of the Enchantress. After the twins decide to try and build the Wand of Wonderment, they return to the Charming Kingdom to visit the Wicked Stepmother to acquire her ring. The Charming Kingdom is briefly surrendered to Ezmia in return for the King and Queen's daughter, and Ezmia stages her final coup on Charming land in her coliseum. When Ezmia is defeated, Dr. Bob and Charlotte are married on Charming Castle grounds. 

A Grimm Warning

When the Grande Armée attacks, Sir Lampton leads the army and the citizens of the kingdom against their foe and wards off the attack, defeating a large part of the army's troupes.

Beyond the Kingdoms

After the Masked Man travels into works of literature to recruit for his army, the Charming Kingdom is attacked by the men and women in yellow armor.[3]

An Author's Odyssey

At the beginning of An Author's Odyssey, it is mentioned that after the Winkies attack, the kingdom ceased to be and was integrated in to a large empire ruled by the Masked Man. When he is deposed by the Queen of Hearts, Captain Hook and the Wicked Witch of the West, the three literary villains take over the rule of the Land of Stories. Queen Cinderella and King Chance Charming are saved by Jack, Goldilocks and their friends.
