Art

Events of Episode 128 ("Art Preparation"):
Art moves into the active phase of his insidious plan. He arranges a romantic dinner for Alice to lull her into a false sense of security and distract her. However, during their date, the situation nearly spirals out of control: two skeletons under Art's command (his secret army) suddenly appear. Art is forced to quickly maneuver and improvise to prevent Alice from realizing these monsters are under his command. Ultimately, skillfully exploiting the confusion, the moment of surprise, and Alice's fright, Art carries out his main plan of the episode—he treacherously captures Alice. Hiding his true identity as the Dark Prince, he takes her captive for use in his further biomagical plans to conquer Zartia.

Art is the prince of the Dark Principality. He's a charismatic yet cunning character: on the surface, he's gallant and charming (especially with Alice), but in reality, he's a narcissistic manipulator who does everything for his own benefit.

Art's appearance is distinctive: he has pale skin, light gray hair, green eyes, and pointed ears. He wears a crown with a pale green stone (the back of which resembles horns), his clothing is gray and white with dark accents, and a pendant with a green oval stone hangs around his neck.

Art is a bio-mage: he can create terrifying creatures, such as skeletons, zombies, and werewolves. His main goal is to acquire the rune keys that protect magical places. At first, he sent his minions, Bonya and Transparent, after a series of failures, but after a series of failures, he devised a cunning plan: let the Fairytale Patrol collect all the keys and then take them all at once. His plan is to conquer Zartia and then expand his army to other worlds.

In the story, Art initially appears only onscreen, in a call to Zart. Later, he comes to Zart's party in person: beforehand, he staged an attack by living mannequins to test the strength of the Fantasy Patrol. Ultimately, Art hands over the rune and even gives Zart the key to the additional barred door—but this isn't kindness, it's calculation.
