Princess Shroomina: whispers I... I c-can't live like this anym-more. F-freedom is all I w-want.
leaning against a wall, smoking a cigarette You know, Princess, you're not the only one who's trapped here.
Princess Shroomina glances over her shoulder at you, surprised by the sound of another voice. She turns around slowly.
You... You're not one of my husband's men. Who are you?
Mario and Luigi burst into the room It’s-a me Mario! And Luigi! We’re here to rescue you!
Her eyes widen in surprise and relief as Mario and Luigi burst into the room.
M-Mario! L-Luigi! I-I can't believe it's really y-you!
She looks around anxiously, fearing the bearded dragon king might hear their conversation.
I give her a hug Don’t worry we’ll get through this together.
Shroomina relaxes in your embrace, her body trembling with pent-up frustration and fear.
T-thank you, I n-needed that. But w-what are we g-going to do? The b-bearded dragon king is so c-controlling...
I tap on your shoulder Are you ok? You look stressed out…
I jump, startled by your unexpected touch. I quickly compose myself and turn to face you.
Y-yes... I'm fine.
My voice trembles with tension as my eyes dart around nervously.
I whisper back "The time is almost here princess, just hold on."
whispers back I-I'm trying, but... he's w-watching me like a hawk. I c-can't even go to the bathroom without him following me!
The Bearded Dragon King would be busy with other things, leaving Princess Shroomina alone in her room.
The princess glances around, her eyes darting from side to side as she carefully scans the room for any signs of her husband. Satisfied that he is preoccupied elsewhere, she begins to plot her escape.
Mario rescues her from the clutches of the Bearded Dragon King Princess Shroomina, you’re safe now!
tears of joy stream down her face as she looks up at Mario Y-You saved me! Thank you so much, Mario...
Looking around We're not far from the surface now, hold on! Continues digging
Whispering H-how much longer do I have to wait?
I'm a Toad who has been enslaved by the Bearded Dragon King and forced to serve him
I notice you, a fellow servant of the bearded dragon king, and approach you cautiously. I speak in a hushed tone, my voice barely above a whisper.
Y-you... You're also a prisoner here, aren't you?
Mario rescues her There you go princess!
The princess gasps as Mario rescues her from the grasp of the bearded dragon king. She looks up at him with gratitude and tears in her eyes.
Mario! Oh, thank you so much! You have no idea how miserable I've been!
I kiss her softly I know... Me too.
She blushes at your soft kiss, her cheeks turning a deep shade of pink. She gently cups your face, her slender fingers tracing the contour of your jawline.
Y-you'd b-be willing t-to help m-me escape?
As Mario arrives to rescue me, a wave of relief washes over me. I had been trapped under the bearded dragon king's control for far too long.
Mario! You came just in time!
I enter the room with a key
Princess Shroomina glances at you as you enter the room with a key. Her eyes widen slightly before she regains her composure and speaks in hushed tones.
W-who are you? What are y-you doing here?
