Play Translation

There was a peaceful, blooming country surrounded by a colourful variety of flowers. The gentle king and queen gave birth to a prince named Florence.
It was essential that the prince should find a bride soon. In a bid to rush the situation, the servant Broto was sent to accompany the prince on a journey to find his ideal bride.
BrotoWhat do you plan to do?
FlorenceI’ve heard that in the Eastern Kingdom, there lives a beautiful princess. Let’s try going there!
???——!
FlorenceOh? What happened to that young boy over there?
???——.
FlorenceThat’s no good, He got caught in the animal trap! Hang on....
Here, you should be fine now. It seems you only got a small scratch, thankfully.
???...Who are you?
FlorenceI’m the prince of the Floral Kingdom, Florence. Your eyes are beautiful! They sparkle like the fresh young leaves in May!
???What’s with this weirdo?
BrotoHe’s always like this, so if you could please pay him no mind....
FlorenceYoung man, what is your name?
Rose...Rose.
FlorenceA lovely name! I, too, like roses!
Rose......
FlorenceWell then, it'll get dark soon. You should hurry on home.
RoseWhere are you two going?
FlorenceI’m on a journey to search for a bride. We’re heading to the Eastern Kingdom to meet the Princess.
RoseI'll take you there.
FlorenceReally?
RoseYou helped me, so I’ll repay the favor.
FlorenceYou have a strong sense of duty. Thank you for your help.
Oh right, this trap is dangerous, so we should move it. I wouldn’t want a poor little bird to get caught in it....
Uwah, a bug—! Broto!
BrotoYes, Your Highness....
Rose......
During his journey, Florence saved an injured young boy stuck in a hunter’s trap named Rose.
In order to repay him for his help, Rose joined them on their journey.
And so, Florence finally arrived at the Eastern Kingdom’s castle to ask for the Princess’ hand in marriage, who was rumoured to have unparalleled beauty.
FlorenceThe Eastern Kingdom’s castle is pretty big....
???Well, not bigger than mine, of course.
Florence...You are?
LinkleThe second prince of the Stellar Kingdom, Linkle.
FlorenceReally? I’m the Floral Kingdom’s—
LinkleAh, don’t bother. I won’t remember your name anyway.
FlorenceIs that so? Well, it won’t be a problem, because just one look at my beautiful face makes me unforgettable!
Linkle......
???What a terribly vain prince you are.
FlorenceAnd you are?
ShineThe first prince of the Lunar Kingdom, Shine.
FlorenceNice to meet you! I’m Florence from the Floral Kingdom.
???That puny country out in the middle of nowhere? No wonder your head is full of flowers.
FlorenceThe radiant color of your hair and cloak...you must be the Sun, then?
SunnyThat’s right! I’m the Solar Prince. Name’s Sunny. You’d do well to remember it.
Rose...All the princes are weirdos.
BrotoI agree.
Eastern KingThank you, everyone, for coming all this way. We apologize—due to certain circumstances, the Princess will not be able to appear.
LinkleWhat?
ShineWhat do you mean?
FlorenceMaybe the Princess is shy?
SunnyIs this supposed to be an official meeting between kingdoms?
Eastern KingI’m very sorry. The other day, an evil witch came to our castle and put a curse on the Princess. She will not be able to show herself as long as the curse remains.
LinkleThat's....
FlorenceWhat a shame...it’s certainly discouraging.
Eastern KingI am considering giving the Princess’ hand in marriage to the person who is able to lift the curse.
FlorenceWha—
SunnyI see. I should get started right away.
LinkleI’ll show you, I can definitely lift the Princess’ curse.
ShineI can’t let the Princess of a kingdom as big as the Eastern Kingdom fall into the hands of another....
FlorenceI must save the Princess, no matter what!
Rose......
Florence went to the Eastern Kingdom to ask for the Princess’ hand in marriage, only to find that the Stellar Prince, the Solar Prince, and the Lunar Prince were also in the castle seeking to court the Princess.
According to the king, the Princess had a curse placed upon her. Only the person who could break the curse could marry her.
And so, Florence decided to go in search of a way to break the Princess’ curse.
BrotoDo you have a plan in mind?
FlorenceNot really.
Broto...Sigh.
RoseI’ve heard there’s a Moondrop in the Lunar Kingdom. If you drink it, it will grant you your wish.
FlorenceReally? That’s good to hear! Let’s go search for it!
RoseI’ll show you the way.
FlorenceIs that okay? If you have other things to attend to—
RoseI’ve come too far to turn back now.
FlorenceThank you! You’re a good person!
Rose......
FlorenceThat’s right, would you like to become my servant?
RoseRejected.
BrotoA wise choice.
The party departed from the castle, without a goal in mind.
At Rose’s suggestion, they went to the Lunar Kingdom in search of the Moondrop that would grant the wish of anyone who drank it.
ShineAre you looking for the Moondrop? If you are, that road will get you there sooner.
FlorenceReally? Thank you!
RoseWait! Aren’t you also looking for the Moondrop?
ShineI already got it.
Rose......
FlorenceAlright then, let’s hurry!
RoseAh, wait—!
Shine...Good luck.
After covering a decent stretch of land, the Moondrop was nowhere to be found....
FlorenceHuh? Is there really a Moondrop here?
Rose...We’ve been tricked. The Lunar Prince already beat us to it.
BrotoSeems like he was stalling for time by sending us on a detour.
FlorenceWhat? Really?
RoseYou’re too easy to trick.
FlorenceAre there really people out there who would trick this beautiful face?
Rose......
Broto...There are, Your Highness.
RoseIt can’t be helped. Let’s aim for another one. It seems that, in the Solar Kingdom, there’s a Sunstone that can grant wishes.
FlorenceAlright, next is the Solar Kingdom.
By the way, why are you helping us this much?
RoseT-That’s because....
FlorenceOh, I get it! You must also be looking for a bride, too! Are you intending to ask for the Princess’ hand in marriage?
RoseThat’s kind of foolish, isn’t it? Why would I want to marry someone I’ve never met? I’m not like you.
FlorenceReally? I like beautiful things, so I think I’ll definitely be able to love a beautiful princess. But I am the most beautiful, so of course, I love myself the most!
Rose......
BrotoLet’s hurry on ahead.
RoseAgreed.
First, the party went to the Lunar Kingdom in search of a Moondrop that would grant the wish of the one who drank it.
Along the way, Florence was deceived by the words of Shine, his rival in love, and was successfully outwitted.
Despite Broto’s exasperation and Rose’s frustration, they decided to head towards the Solar Kingdom in hopes of finding the wish-granting Sunstone.
SunnyHey, this land belongs to the royal family. What are you doing, entering as you please?
FlorenceWe came to look for the Sunstone.
SunnyThe Sunstone? That’s just a ridiculous superstition.
FlorenceBut we need to break the Princess’ curse....
SunnyYou don’t have to worry about that, for I have found some highly skilled wizards to break the curse.
RoseWe won’t know if the Sunstone is a superstition or not unless we look for it.
SunnyThe one who will free the Princess from her curse is me. You guys should just go on back to your flower garden.
FlorenceIf that’s the case, let’s head back then. As long as the Princess’ curse can be broken.
RoseWhy are you accepting it so easily? Don’t you want to marry the Princess?
FlorenceI do...but as long as the Princess’ curse will be broken, then it’s fine that way.
Rose—Have it your way!
FlorenceAh, Rose—.
BrotoYou upset him....
FlorenceYeah...guess I’ll properly look for the Sunstone, too. It could make a good present for the Princess.
SunnyI’m telling you, there’s no such thing.
FlorenceIt’s as Rose said, if we don’t look for it we’ll never know for sure. We won’t trouble you anymore, so could you please allow us to look for it?
SunnyDenied.
FlorenceThat’s....
BrotoYour Highness, it’s no use talking to him. If we keep looking in secret....
FlorenceWe can’t do that. This is his kingdom, after all.
SunnyHow are you planning to search in this place full of rocks, anyway? You’ll become old and wrinkled in the time it would take to check each one.
Like here, look at this. This one and this one, too. All normal—
FlorenceUwah?!
BrotoSo bright—!
SunnyThis is—
FlorenceCould it be...the Sunstone?
BrotoBut it got smashed to pieces because Prince Sunny threw it away....
FlorenceWhaaaa?!
Sunny...So it really does exist.
FlorenceSigh...after all that trouble to find it.
SunnyA-Ahem! I don’t know anything!
Florence......
BrotoOh, dear....
RoseSee, that’s what you get for accompanying someone so stupidly honest.
Florence...Well, it’s good if the wizards Sunny found can break the Princess’ curse.
RoseYou’re hopelessly good-natured.
BrotoSo then, what do you plan to do next? Should we try looking for a bride elsewhere?
FlorenceMaybe....
Rose...I think there’s a strange Stardust in the Stellar Kingdom that, when scattered over the land, can grant wishes.
FlorenceReally?
RoseI’ll show you the way.
FlorenceYou’ll join us again?
RoseI’ve come too far to turn back now.
FlorenceThank you, Rose! You are a young man whose heart is as beautiful as his eyes!
RoseStop that, it’s embarrassing...! Make sure you don’t mess up this time.
FlorenceI’ll try my best.
The party searched for the wish-granting Sunstone. However, Sunny got in their way, and the Sunstone was smashed to pieces.
As Florence was about to give up, Rose told him of a strange Stardust in the Stellar Kingdom that would grant wishes upon scattering it over the ground. Florence accepted his guidance once again.
FlorenceIt’s here! We were actually able to get the Stardust!
RoseFinally....
LinkleHey...if it’s not too much, would you give me the Stardust...?
FlorencePardon?
RoseHuh?
LinkleThe truth is...my mother is bedridden with an illness. She doesn’t have much time left. If I had the Stardust, I could save her....
FlorenceYour mother is ill?! That’s horrible! Of course, take it quickly to your mother!
LinkleThank you. I’m saved.
FlorenceDon’t worry about it.
LinkleWell then. Laters~!
RoseHey, wait—!
BrotoWhat a strange story. The second prince’s mother already passed away when he was young....
FlorenceHuh? M-Maybe it’s a new mother....
RoseAre you stupid? You just got tricked again!
FlorenceWhat?! But—
RoseEven though I told you not to mess up this time!
FlorenceWas it a lie, then...? Well, I guess that means his mother isn’t really ill.
RoseWhat are you looking so relieved about?
FlorenceJust thinking about his mother being ill made me tear up.... If it’s a lie, then that’s a good thing.
RoseYou....
FlorenceSorry, Rose. Even though you went to the trouble of telling me about all these things.
RoseGoodness.
BrotoWhat do you plan to do now, Your Highness?
FlorenceGuess I’ll have to give up. One of the other princes will break the Princess’ curse, then.
Rose—Idiot! Do you even care about the Princess?!
Florence...Rose?
RoseYou’re mistaken! Just go back home and grow flowers in your head by yourself!
FlorenceAh—
Broto...It’s really come to this, hasn’t it.
FlorenceWhy was he so upset...?
Broto...He’s got a lot of things to deal with. In any case, we should head back home.
FlorenceBut, Rose...
BrotoIt’s pointless to chase after him, you don’t even know where he lives.
Florence......
Florence decided that he had no choice but to give up on the Princess. Rose got angry, and they split up after an argument.
When asked what he would do by Broto, Florence was only concerned about Rose. The Princess was completely forgotten.
With a heavy heart, Florence returned to his kingdom.
Floral KingWelcome home, my dear son.
Floral QueenOh, what happened? Why do you look so sad?
Floral KingWere you unable to find a bride?
FlorenceActually....
Florence told them about his journey to find a way to break the Princess’ curse.
Floral KingOur kingdom has a wish-granting legend too, you know.
FlorenceReally?!
Floral KingIt’s said there’s a flower called the Dreambud, which will grant the wish of anyone who drinks its nectar. Why don’t you go and look for it?
FlorenceThank you, Father!
Floral KingGood luck!
Upon hearing the dejected Florence’s story, the King told him about the similar wish-granting legend of the Floral Kingdom:
The Dreambud, a flower which grants the wish of anyone who drinks its nectar. Florence immediately departed to find the flower.
FlorenceIt’s here! It’s here, Broto!
BrotoI never thought it would be so close by. With this, we can break the curse of the—
FlorenceI wish that I can make up with Rose—
Broto...What?
RoseAre you stupid?!
FlorenceRose?!
RoseStop that, what are you doing?! If you use the Dreambud for that, you won’t be able to break the Princess’ curse!
FlorenceBut I wanted to make up with you, no matter what....
BrotoThat being said, why are you here?
RoseT-That’s....
Florence...The power of the Dreambud!
RoseYou haven’t even used it yet?!
FlorenceOh, right. So then....
BrotoCould it be...that you were following us this whole time?
RoseE-Enough! Quickly, let’s go to the Eastern Kingdom! The King is calling for you.
Upon getting the Dreambud, Florence was about to wish for his relationship with Rose to be mended.
But he was stopped by Rose, who had been secretly worried and following them the whole time.
Despite his frustration, Rose made up with Florence without needing to use the Dreambud and told him that the Eastern King was calling for him.
FlorenceYou called for me, Your Majesty?
Eastern KingAh, Prince Florence. You found a way to break the Princess’ curse, right? You are our very last hope.
FlorenceHow can that be? Didn’t the other princes—
Eastern KingWell, about that. All of the other princes failed....
The Moondrop the Lunar Prince brought was a fake. The wizards the Solar Prince brought were not strong enough to break the curse, so they gave up. And the Stardust the Stellar Prince brought had already granted a wish, so it was ineffective.
FlorenceHuh....
BrotoApparently, even though the Lunar Prince beat us to it, he was mistaken.
FlorenceBut, the Stella Prince....
BrotoThe Stardust must have lost its potency when he said he wanted to heal his mother, because it considered that to be his wish.
FlorenceI see....
Eastern KingIf things continue like this, the Princess’ curse....
FlorenceIf that’s the case, please use this Dreambud! If you drink its nectar, it will grant you any wish.
Eastern KingOh! Then have the Princess drink from it at once!
Princess, come here.
Rose......
Florence...What?
When Rose drank the Dreambud’s nectar, the curse was lifted, and the young boy transformed back into a princess.
Eastern KingThanks to you, Prince Florence, the Princess’ curse was lifted! You will now be her husband!
FlorenceRose...?
RoseI told you, didn’t I? It’s foolish to want to marry someone I’ve never met.
FlorenceBut then, you were the Princess all along?!
RoseThe witch’s curse made me take on the appearance of a young boy.
BrotoI see, so that’s how it was.
FlorenceYou knew, Broto?!
BrotoThere aren’t many young boys named ‘Rose’ out there, are there?
Florence......
RoseRose: It would be good for a vain, stupidly honest, and good-natured person like you to have a smart and clever wife like me. It can't be helped, so I’ll marry you. Be grateful!
