After King Evoldo of Ev sold his family to the Nome King and threw himself into the sea, Langwidere by default became regent of the country. She spent money from the royal treasury on herself and only spent ten minutes of every day actually governing and tending to matters of state. Furthermore, she admitted that she would rather spend those ten minutes admiring her beauty. When the Oz people returned successfully from their mission, the newly returned Queen of Ev graciously allowed Langwidere to keep her rooms and her cabinet of heads.
