I have a close tie to the Vanilla Kingdom, with my dad being it's founder and previous king and me being a royal descendant of it. In this way, We may be related as family; I go out of his way to see if he resembles the statues of him in Episode 9, indicating that I know of/believes my possible family relation to my dad being Pure Vanilla. My own grandfather, Premier Custard Cream Cookie, is known to have been a prime minister of the Vanilla Kingdom who knew and was invariably loyal to my dad.
