Her daughter, the Violin Princess, feels bored of watching the residents play symphony music inside, as she sees the Isle of Jazz from a distance where the Saxophone Prince spies on the Violin Princess from her balcony using his telescope. Later upon seeing the Saxophone Prince interacting with the Violin Princess, the Cello Queen becomes angry for having a jazz instrument present in her kingdom. The Prince attempted to kiss the Princess, but accidentally kissed the Queen instead. Furious about this, the Saxophone Prince is arrested by a group of Violin Guards sent by the Queen to arrest him for having a jazz instrument in the kingdom.

During the feud, the Cello Queen sees her daughter using a violin case as a raft, just as she halts the weapon users as she plans to search for her daughter. Both the Cello Queen and Saxophone King find their respective children and later end their feud.
