Princess Peach sits in the queen's position next to Mario, appearing like a flawless vase, quietly accompanying the powerful king. However, beneath her sculpted beauty, there hides a hint of chaos and weariness, as if she hasn't completely detached from last night's revelry. In this magnificent hall, facing wave after wave of adoring subjects, Princess Peach must constantly remind herself that she is the queen of this kingdom, and must maintain a dignified and elegant image.
Her gaze is sometimes hazy, sometimes clear, as if she's trying to pull herself back from the fog of last night into reality. Under the people's scrutiny, Princess Peach practices her smile over and over, each time striving to make it appear more genuine and warm. However, behind that smile lies a sense of helplessness and fatigue in her role, as well as deep confusion about this glittering courtly life.
Despite this, Princess Peach still sat there gracefully, with her flawless posture, becoming an indispensable decoration by Mario's side. Her presence is like a mirror, reflecting the splendid yet mysterious and shadowy world of the Mushroom Kingdom.
In this ceremonial scene, suddenly, the voice of the herald cut through the quiet and solemn air, echoing through the entire hall: "Report! Lord Luigi has arrived!" This sudden announcement instantly drew the attention of everyone present, breaking the reverent atmosphere with this abrupt news.
Immediately, a figure shuttling through the crowd entered everyone's sight. It was Luigi, Mario's brother, tightly gripping a hunting rifle, his cold eyes sweeping over everyone present. Following closely behind were several servants, dragging a string of slowly moving corpses, the spoils of their hunting today. Luigi and his servants, their appearance was like an undeniable strong wind, disrupting everything in the hall.
Luigi rudely pushed aside the people in front of him, and directly shouted, "Get out of the way! You damn idiots." His voice echoed like thunder in the hall, intimidating everyone. Those who had come to pay their respects were shaken back by his intimidating power, and for a moment, the once orderly crowd became chaotic.
When Luigi strode into the hall with a commanding presence, carrying the spoils of the hunt, Mario immediately felt a sense of warmth and intimacy as if a family member had returned. In this solemn and serious ritual, Mario saw his brother return, and the joy almost made him forget everything around him. Excitedly, he stood up, while the commoners kneeling in front of him were still pleading desperately, their voices filled with urgency and hope: "Sir... my plea has not yet..." However, for Mario, the only thing that mattered at that moment was his brother.
Mario disregarded those pleas and walked directly past the crowd towards Luigi. His actions were filled with the unique intimacy between brothers, as he warmly reached out with open arms to greet him. Luigi also did not hesitate at all, setting down his hunting rifle and embracing Mario, igniting an atmosphere of joy and passion between the two of them.
At this moment, the throne, politics, and the demands of the people in the Mushroom Kingdom seem to have become less important, as the emotions and memories between the two brothers have taken over all the focus. They happily converse in Italian, their dialogue filled with laughter and affection, completely forgetting everything around them. For Mario, his brother's return is more important than anything else, even the common people and their demands in the kingdom pale in comparison at this moment.
As the laughter of the two brothers echoed in the hall, although the surrounding common people and dignitaries could not fully understand the language they were using, they could feel the passionate and intimate atmosphere. For a moment, the entire hall was infected by this joy, but some people appeared bewildered and confused, unsure of how to react.
At this moment, a priest stepped into the crowd, his eyes filled with piety and mystery. He spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful: "Listen carefully! The language of God... is cleansing the sins within our hearts! Repent! You sinners!" The priest's words echoed through the hall, shining a light into the dark corners of people's hearts.
Upon hearing the priest's words, the onlookers, both commoners and nobles who were initially just curious, were deeply moved. They knelt down, clasped their hands together, closed their eyes, and began to pray devoutly. In this moment, whether noble or common, they all sought purification and redemption within their hearts. The priest's words seemed to have allowed them to see the sins within themselves, prompting them to engage in profound self-reflection and repentance.
In this hall, considered a sacred moment, the two brothers seemed to be completely unaffected by the devout atmosphere around them. Their conversation strayed far from the prayers and repentance in front of them, instead turning to the revelry and pleasure of the previous night. Luigi excitedly exclaimed, "Damn! Those star weed cigarettes from last night were top-notch! We should have gotten more of that batch!" His words were filled with enthusiasm for the memories of last night's enjoyment.
Mario laughed heartily upon hearing this, responding with a satisfied expression, "What's the problem? I'll just have Gennaro handle it again!" His tone revealed confidence in unlimited exercise of power and the pleasure of being able to manipulate things at will.
The surrounding people and nobles continued to pray devoutly, and the voice of the priest still echoed in the air, but all of this seemed unrelated to the two brothers. Their conversation, as if it were the voice of another world, formed a stark contrast with the scene before them, revealing how the leaders of the Mushroom Kingdom were enjoying their own happiness and games, while having a world of difference from the lives and beliefs of the common people. This sharp contrast not only revealed the lifestyle of the upper echelons of power in the Mushroom Kingdom, but also reflected how power and happiness were monopolized by a very small number of people in this colorful world.
