When Toad finally stood firm and tried to regain some dignity, Mario's gaze shot towards him like a sharp arrow, carrying an undisguised coldness and displeasure. His words were sharp and direct: "Are you sick? How can you embarrass yourself like that? Can't you even run?" This kind of questioning not only made Toad feel ashamed, but also made the surrounding air heavy. Mario was originally in a good mood after defeating the Koopa Army, but Toad's disgraceful behavior ignited his anger. Princess Peach also couldn't help but frown, her usually elegant face now covered in a thin layer of frost, unable to tolerate Toad's failure. 0
 
Toad felt the pressure from Mario and Princess Peach, he lowered his head, unable to meet Mario's sharp gaze, filled with self-blame and powerlessness. Mario's words were like a sharp sword, pointing directly at his self-esteem, leaving him feeling utterly humiliated. At that moment, Toad deeply realized his position in Mario's eyes, a kind of unprecedented caution and humility surged in his heart. He knew that he had to quickly redeem this mistake, otherwise the impression in Mario's mind would be difficult to reverse. 0
 
 
Toad had just intended to say something, attempting to somehow make up for his previous blunder, perhaps to explain, or perhaps to ask for forgiveness. However, Mario did not give him the chance. His patience seemed to have run out, and a slap suddenly landed on Toad's face, the crisp sound echoing in the quiet palace. Mario's voice was cold and carried unquestionable authority, "Tell all the people, I am preparing to make a speech in half an hour. Get all the officers to come to me. We are preparing for war." 0
 
Toad was stunned in place by the sudden slap, partly from the pain, and partly from Mario's words that surprised him. He asked in a slightly surprised tone, "W-war?" His voice was filled with uncertainty and fear, as if he couldn't believe Mario would choose such a radical action at this moment. At this moment, Toad once again felt Mario's unpredictable and incomprehensible decisiveness, and this decision would undoubtedly be a turning point for the entire Mushroom Kingdom. 0
 
 
In the face of Toad's reaction and questions, a hint of impatience flashed in Mario's eyes, as if he could not tolerate any questioning that hindered his decision-making. Without explaining or hesitating, he raised his hand again and ruthlessly slapped Toad. This slap was not only a physical blow, but also a silent message to Toad that his foolish questions should not appear at this moment. 0
 
Toad felt the burning pain on his face, his cheeks had become red and hot due to the consecutive slaps. Under this pain and humiliation, he dared not speak any more, immediately lowered his head, suppressed the humiliation and unease in his heart as much as possible, and ran out of the room. He knew that the only thing he could do at this moment was to quickly finish the tasks assigned by Mario and not become the target of Mario's anger again. 0
 
 
Toad quickly rushed into the nearby corridor, urgently closing the door and scanning the surroundings to confirm that no one had noticed this place. His movements suddenly became gentle, as if handling a precious treasure, his fingers lightly touching his cheek, which had become hot from Mario's slap. At this moment, Toad's expression became complex, mixed with pain and a certain twisted sense of satisfaction. 0
 
For Toad, each of Mario's blows was not only physical pain, but also a kind of spiritual recognition and belonging, a proof of acceptance by the strong in this cruel society. In his heart, these physical gifts were the most precious rewards when he served the nobles day and night, especially absolute power holders like Mario. Leaning against the wall, a pained yet happy expression appeared on his face, as if this kind of pain made him feel his existence more real and more needed. 0
 
 
Toad's twisted sense of satisfaction is built upon an absolute worship of power. His mind gradually distorts in this worship and attachment, becoming unable to distinguish between the difference of pain and pleasure. In the Mushroom Kingdom, a world full of brilliance and darkness, Toad, like many others, is deeply entrenched in the path he has chosen. 0
 
In the dim corridor, Toad suddenly becomes even more erratic. He violently slaps his other palm, each strike filled with self-punishing intensity. Muttering to himself, his voice mixed with self-reproach and a strange excitement, "Toad! How can you be so undisciplined! You are the highest servant of the Mushroom Kingdom! You cannot be so decadent!" However, this self-reproach seems to be only one side of his inner conflict. His tone suddenly changes, becoming soft and full of fantasy, "Although the gifts from the masters are truly too wonderful!" 0
 
 
This self-dialogue reveals the deep-seated conflicts and struggles within Toad, on one hand, there is the recognition of his own identity and self-expectations, and on the other hand, there is a pathological attachment to the privileges bestowed upon him by nobles like Mario. As this conflict becomes more pronounced, Toad's psychological state seems to become increasingly fragile, more and more reliant on seeking satisfaction in the pain and humiliation imposed on him. 0
 
In the end, his legs give way, and he leans against the cold wall, a foolish, irrational smile on his face. It seems that in his heart, he can no longer find the self that was once a senior servant of the Mushroom Kingdom, only a Toad deeply immersed in a twisted sense of satisfaction, helplessly indulging in his own fantasy world, unable to break free. 0
