Prior to the events of the novel, Baron Gallic found the Malice Stone; being self-absorbed, he would subsequently be unable to free himself of it. He traveled from star to star in order to provide the gem with valuable treasures, and he has been suspected of many thefts, although he never left behind evidence. Upon attempting to steal the Galaxia sword, Gallic targeted Sword Knight and Blade Knight and turned them against their master with the power of the Malice Stone. However, Daroach knew of Baron Gallic's tricks and warned Meta Knight, who then brought his henchmen back to their senses.
A few months before the story takes place, Gallic arrived on Chiffon Star in order to steal the royal recipe book. He charmed everyone and instigated many of the castle's residents against their loved ones, primarily Princess Marona. The Baron soon escapes with her, but the rambunctious princess, influenced by the Malice Stone, wants to destroy all of Chiffon Star's cake shops, and Gallic reluctantly puts up with her antics in order to gain the benefits she promised him.
At the cake store Princess Marona began destroying, Baron Gallic faces the protagonists. After a few sarcastic remarks, he uses the Malice Stone and brings the princess back to his side, as well as causing most of the visitors to act violently. He later makes his way to the Royal Cake Factory with Princess Marona, unaware that she is no longer under the control of the Malice Stone. During another clash with the protagonists, he manages to draw Blade Knight over with the gem while losing the princess in the meantime, and escapes to one of his more remote hideouts. Princess Marona decides to return to Gallic on her own volition.
At his hideout, Baron Gallic plots to assassinate the king, which greatly concerns the princess. The protagonists eventually locate Gallic. A battle ensues, and Princess Marona snatches the Malice Stone from Gallic. She throws the gem far away, and Gallic decides to make an escape, kidnapping her and planning to drop her in outer space. However, she purposefully crash lands the airship, and Meta Knight soon catches up. Amidst the chaos, Spear Cotta Knight (a victim of the Malice Stone from an unspecified time) finds the lost gem. Baron Gallic manages to break Meta Knight's mask with a dart knife and uses the Malice Stone against him, but, supported by Princess Marona, Meta Knight shatters the gem. This brings Gallic to a pitiful state, and the evildoer is put in prison.
