章節 162: Princess Treatment Season 217 - Episode 790: "The Fundoshi of Courage"
Scene 1: The Royal Gathering Hall
The grand hall buzzes with hushed excitement. Princess Angelica, adorned in her flowing silken robes of sapphire and silver, stands at the center of attention. Around her, an assembly of princesses from neighboring kingdoms murmur anxiously, their gazes fixed on a scroll held by the regal Queen Illyria.
Queen Illyria: (voice firm, echoing across the hall) Princesses, a grave threat looms over our lands. The shadow of the Iron Maw bandits grows ever closer. They have plundered our villages and tarnished our peace. A champion must rise to lead the mission to bring justice to our people.
The hall falls silent, save for the flutter of a banner. Princess Angelica steps forward, her chin held high despite the slight tremble in her hands.
Princess Angelica: (resolute) Your Majesty, I volunteer for this mission.
Gasps ripple through the crowd. Princess Elara, Angelica's closest friend, rushes to her side.
Princess Elara: Angelica, are you sure? This is no small task!
Princess Angelica: (smiling softly) I am sure, Elara. It is time I prove myself worthy of the crown.
Queen Illyria: (nodding) Very well, Angelica. But to face the Iron Maw, you will need more than resolve.
From behind the queen, a pair of guards step forward, bearing a golden chest. As the lid creaks open, the crowd catches their breath. Inside lies a simple yet majestic fundoshi, shimmering with an otherworldly glow.
Queen Illyria: This is the Fundoshi of Courage, passed down through generations of warriors. Its magic will grant you the bravery you need, but take heed—true courage lies within. This will only awaken what already resides in your heart.
Angelica approaches, her movements deliberate. She picks up the fundoshi, feeling a surge of warmth and confidence coursing through her veins.
Princess Angelica: (to herself) I will not fail.
Scene 2: The Forbidden Forest
Angelica strides through the dense, shadowy woods, now dressed in a lightweight tunic and the Fundoshi of Courage tied firmly at her waist. The forest feels alive, its twisted trees whispering secrets and warnings. She grips her sword tightly, her eyes scanning for danger.
A rustle from the underbrush sends her heart racing. A pack of shadow wolves emerges, their eyes glowing crimson.
Princess Angelica: (muttering) Here we go.
The wolves lunge, but Angelica's movements are sharp and precise. The fundoshi pulses with energy, guiding her strikes. She moves with newfound agility, each step filled with purpose.
As the last wolf falls, Angelica leans against a tree, catching her breath. The fundoshi's glow dims slightly, as if reassuring her.
Princess Angelica: (smiling) Thank you, old friend.
Scene 3: The Bandit's Stronghold
The Iron Maw bandits' fortress looms ahead, a menacing structure of iron and stone. Angelica crouches behind a boulder, observing the heavily armed guards. A voice echoes in her mind—her own doubts clawing at her resolve.
Angelica's Doubt: You can't do this. They're too strong. You'll fail.
Her hand brushes against the fundoshi, its warmth silencing her fears.
Princess Angelica: (whispering) I've come too far to turn back.
Under the cover of night, she infiltrates the stronghold. Her every move is precise, the fundoshi guiding her steps. She frees captive villagers and disables the bandits' traps, inching closer to the leader's chamber.
Scene 4: The Final Confrontation
Angelica bursts into the bandit leader's chamber, her sword drawn. The leader, a hulking brute with a jagged scar across his face, laughs menacingly.
Bandit Leader: A little princess thinks she can stop me? How amusing.
Princess Angelica: (steady) Laugh all you want. Your reign of terror ends now.
The battle is fierce. The bandit leader's strength is overwhelming, but Angelica's courage never wavers. With a final, calculated strike, she defeats him. The fundoshi glows brilliantly, as if celebrating her triumph.
Scene 5: The Royal Courtyard
Angelica returns to the palace, greeted by cheers from the gathered crowd. Queen Illyria steps forward, her expression proud.
Queen Illyria: Princess Angelica, you have shown us the meaning of true courage. You faced your fears and brought peace to our lands. You have earned our highest honor.
The princesses bow in admiration, and Elara embraces her friend.
Princess Elara: I always knew you had it in you.
Princess Angelica: (smiling) Maybe I just needed a little help.
Angelica glances at the fundoshi, now neatly folded in her hands. Its glow has faded, its purpose fulfilled.
Princess Angelica: (to herself) True courage lies within.
The camera pans to the horizon as the sun sets, casting a golden light over the kingdom.
Narrator: And so, Princess Angelica proved that bravery is not the absence of fear but the triumph over it, with a little magic to guide the way.
End of Episode.
Scene 1: The Weight of Responsibility
Princess Angelica stands alone on the balcony of the Azure Tower, gazing out at the sprawling kingdom below. The moonlight bathes her in silver, and the faint sounds of the bustling city echo in the distance. Her heart is heavy as she recalls Queen Illyria's words.
Queen Illyria (voiceover): "The mission is perilous, Angelica. Failure means the suffering of countless innocents. But I see in you the courage to lead where others cannot."
Angelica grips the balustrade tightly, her thoughts a whirlwind of doubt.
Princess Angelica: (to herself) Am I truly ready for this?
A soft knock at the door breaks her reverie. Her closest friend, Princess Elara, enters, carrying a small wooden box. Her emerald green gown swishes softly as she approaches.
Princess Elara: (gentle) I thought you might need some encouragement.
Princess Angelica: (sighing) Encouragement or a miracle?
Princess Elara: (smiling) Perhaps both.
Elara opens the box, revealing the Fundoshi of Courage, glowing faintly as if alive.
Princess Elara: The Queen has entrusted this to you. It's said to awaken the bravery already within you.
Princess Angelica: (hesitant) What if there's nothing there to awaken?
Princess Elara: (placing a hand on Angelica's shoulder) Then let this remind you: we all believe in you, Angelica. You are stronger than you think.
Angelica takes the fundoshi, feeling its warmth spread through her hands. She nods, her resolve hardening.
Princess Angelica: (whispering) I'll prove it to myself.
Scene 2: Into the Shadowed Valleys
The following morning, Angelica sets out with a small band of loyal knights. Clad in light armor and with the Fundoshi of Courage tied beneath her sash, she leads the group into the Shadowed Valleys, where the Iron Maw bandits are rumored to hide.
The path is treacherous, with jagged rocks and steep cliffs. A dense mist cloaks the valley, creating an eerie silence broken only by the occasional caw of a crow.
Knight Aedan: (nervously) Your Highness, are you certain about this route? The valley is said to be cursed.
Princess Angelica: (firmly) Curses are just stories to scare children. Stay alert, and we'll make it through.
Suddenly, the ground beneath them trembles. From the shadows emerge towering rock beasts, their eyes glowing a malevolent red.
Knight Aedan: (drawing his sword) By the gods! Rock beasts!
Princess Angelica: (unsheathing her blade) Stand your ground!
As the knights hesitate, fear gripping them, the Fundoshi of Courage pulses with a golden light. Angelica feels her fear dissipate, replaced by an unshakable determination.
Princess Angelica: (shouting) Follow my lead! Together, we can defeat them!
With calculated precision, Angelica directs her knights, using her agility and the fundoshi's guidance to outmaneuver the rock beasts. As the last beast crumbles into dust, the knights cheer, their spirits lifted.
Knight Aedan: (awed) Your Highness, you fought like a true warrior.
Princess Angelica: (smiling) Courage isn't about not being afraid. It's about facing fear head-on.
Scene 3: The Bandits' Fortress
The group reaches the Iron Maw stronghold, a fortress carved into the side of a mountain. Angelica surveys the area, formulating a plan.
Princess Angelica: (to her knights) We'll split into two teams. Aedan, take the others and create a diversion at the main gate. I'll sneak inside and locate their leader.
Knight Aedan: (concerned) Alone, Your Highness?
Princess Angelica: (resolute) It's the only way. Trust me.
Aedan nods reluctantly, and the group moves into position. Under the cover of darkness, Angelica scales the fortress walls, the fundoshi's glow faint but steady, guiding her steps.
Inside, she navigates the labyrinthine halls, evading guards and disabling traps. Finally, she reaches the leader's chamber. The Iron Maw leader, a hulking figure clad in black armor, turns to face her.
Iron Maw Leader: (sneering) A princess? They sent a princess to stop me? Pathetic.
Princess Angelica: (calmly) Underestimate me at your own peril.
The leader charges, swinging a massive axe. Angelica dodges, the fundoshi's energy sharpening her reflexes. The fight is brutal, with Angelica using her wit and agility to counter the leader's brute strength. After a tense battle, she disarms him and forces him to yield.
Scene 4: The Return
Angelica and her knights return to the kingdom, the Iron Maw leader bound and their mission a success. The townspeople cheer as they ride through the gates, and Queen Illyria awaits them in the royal courtyard.
Queen Illyria: (smiling proudly) Princess Angelica, you have proven yourself not just as a leader but as a true protector of our people.
The other princesses gather around, their admiration clear.
Princess Elara: (beaming) I knew you could do it.
Princess Angelica: (humbly) I couldn't have done it alone. Courage isn't something you wear—it's something you find within, with the help of those who believe in you.
As the sun sets, the scene fades on Angelica, standing tall among her fellow princesses, the Fundoshi of Courage folded neatly in her hands, its glow now dimmed but its legacy eternal.
Narrator: And so, Princess Angelica discovered that true courage is not bestowed by magic but by the strength of one's heart, fueled by the bonds of trust and love.
End of Episode.
Scene 1: The Queen's Challenge
The royal throne room is bathed in golden light as Princess Angelica kneels before Queen Illyria. The queen's emerald-green gown shimmers, and her stern gaze carries the weight of her command. Around the hall, courtiers and knights watch in silence.
Queen Illyria: (authoritative) Princess Angelica, our lands face a threat like no other. The Iron Maw bandits have taken control of the Sunvale Pass. Their tyranny grows daily, endangering the lives of our people. This mission requires a leader with not just skill, but courage.
Princess Angelica: (raising her head) I accept this mission, Your Majesty. I will prove myself worthy of your trust.
A murmur spreads through the crowd, but Queen Illyria raises her hand, silencing them. She gestures to a velvet-lined box brought forward by a knight. Inside lies the Fundoshi of Courage, glowing faintly with an ethereal light.
Queen Illyria: This relic has been worn by warriors of legend. It does not create courage, Angelica. It awakens what lies within.
Angelica steps forward, her hands trembling slightly as she takes the fundoshi. A ripple of warmth spreads through her, steadying her resolve.
Princess Angelica: (softly) I will not fail.
Scene 2: Preparations for the Journey
Angelica retreats to her chambers, where Princess Elara waits. Elara paces nervously, her amber curls bouncing as she wrings her hands.
Princess Elara: (anxiously) Angelica, this mission—it's dangerous. Are you sure you're ready?
Princess Angelica: (tying the fundoshi securely beneath her tunic) No one is ever truly ready for something like this. But I've spent my life waiting for a moment to prove myself. This is it.
Princess Elara: (placing a hand on Angelica's arm) Just… promise me you'll come back.
Angelica smiles, her confidence bolstered by the fundoshi's steady warmth.
Princess Angelica: (teasing) Don't worry. Someone has to keep you out of trouble.
The two share a brief laugh before Angelica departs, her heart steeling itself for the trials ahead.
Scene 3: The First Obstacle
Angelica and her band of knights trek through the Mistwood, where ancient trees rise like giants and the air feels thick with enchantment. The group is wary, their movements cautious as shadows dance among the foliage.
Knight Aedan: (nervously) Your Highness, legend says this forest is home to the Wraith Vine—a creature that traps its prey with illusions.
Princess Angelica: (calmly) Then we'll face it together. Stay close, and don't let fear take hold.
As they press on, whispers fill the air, faint and sinister. Aedan freezes, his eyes wide as an illusion of his family appears before him.
Knight Aedan: (desperately) Mother? Is that you?
The vines snake toward him, but Angelica acts quickly. The fundoshi pulses, clearing her mind of doubt. She slashes through the vines with precision, breaking the illusion and freeing Aedan.
Princess Angelica: (firmly) Stay focused, Aedan. We're stronger than any trick this forest can conjure.
The knights rally behind her, pushing forward with renewed determination. The fundoshi glows faintly, its energy guiding Angelica's every move.
Scene 4: The Bandit's Fortress
The group reaches the Iron Maw bandits' stronghold at dusk. The fortress looms like a dark monolith against the fiery sunset. Angelica surveys the area, formulating a strategy.
Princess Angelica: (to her knights) We'll create a distraction at the gates. I'll infiltrate the fortress and confront their leader.
Knight Aedan: (concerned) Alone, Your Highness?
Princess Angelica: (smiling) Courage doesn't mean acting recklessly. Trust me, Aedan—I have a plan.
Under the cover of night, Angelica slips into the fortress. The corridors are dimly lit, with guards patrolling in pairs. She moves silently, her senses heightened by the fundoshi's power.
Reaching the bandit leader's chamber, she finds him—a towering figure with a menacing scar and a voice like thunder.
Iron Maw Leader: (mocking) So, the princess has come to play hero? How amusing.
Princess Angelica: (drawing her sword) Your reign ends tonight.
A fierce battle ensues. The leader's brute strength challenges Angelica at every turn, but the fundoshi's energy bolsters her agility and focus. Using a combination of skill and strategy, she disarms him and forces him to yield.
Scene 5: Victory and Reflection
At dawn, Angelica returns to the palace with her knights, the Iron Maw leader in chains. The townspeople cheer as she rides through the gates, her heart swelling with pride and relief.
In the royal courtyard, Queen Illyria awaits, her expression a mixture of pride and gratitude.
Queen Illyria: (smiling) Princess Angelica, you have brought honor to this kingdom and proven yourself as a true leader.
The other princesses gather around, their admiration evident. Elara rushes to embrace her.
Princess Elara: (relieved) You did it! I knew you would.
Princess Angelica: (humbly) I couldn't have done it without the courage of my companions—and the lessons this journey taught me.
She holds up the Fundoshi of Courage, its glow now dimmed, as if its purpose has been fulfilled.
Princess Angelica: (softly) The fundoshi didn't give me courage. It only helped me see what was already there.
The scene fades as the camera pans to the horizon, where the sun rises over a kingdom at peace.
Narrator: And so, Princess Angelica proved that courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. With her bravery, she secured her place not just as a princess, but as a true hero.
End of Episode.
Scene 1: The Call to Action
The grand council room is filled with tension. Princess Angelica, dressed in a pale blue gown embroidered with silver vines, sits at the long table alongside the other princesses of the realm. Queen Illyria stands at the head, her commanding presence silencing the murmurs of concern.
Queen Illyria: (gravely) My daughters, the Iron Maw bandits have laid siege to the Sunvale Pass. Their cruelty knows no bounds, and our people suffer under their tyranny. We must act.
Princess Selene: (skeptical) And what would you have us do, Mother? Their forces outnumber ours two to one.
Princess Angelica: (interrupting) Numbers alone don't decide victory. Strategy does.
The other princesses exchange glances, surprised by Angelica's boldness.
Queen Illyria: (nodding) And who among you will lead this mission?
The room falls silent. Angelica rises, her voice steady despite the flutter in her chest.
Princess Angelica: I will.
The queen's gaze softens, a glimmer of pride in her eyes.
Queen Illyria: Very well. But to face this challenge, you will need more than bravery. You will need the Fundoshi of Courage.
A guard steps forward, presenting a gleaming relic wrapped in silken cloth. The air hums with power as Angelica takes it, her hands trembling slightly.
Queen Illyria: Remember, Angelica—courage lies not in the fabric, but in the heart of the one who wears it.
Scene 2: Preparing for the Journey
In her chambers, Angelica ties the fundoshi beneath her tunic, feeling its warmth spread through her body. She stands before a mirror, staring at her reflection as doubts creep in.
Princess Angelica: (to herself) Am I truly ready for this?
Princess Elara enters, her lavender gown swaying as she moves to Angelica's side.
Princess Elara: (gently) You don't have to prove anything to anyone, Angelica. We already know how strong you are.
Princess Angelica: (smiling faintly) Maybe. But this isn't just about proving myself. It's about protecting our people.
Princess Elara: (nodding) Then show them what you're made of.
The two share a quiet moment before Angelica joins her knights, their horses waiting in the courtyard. The first rays of dawn cast a golden glow over the group as they set out on their mission.
Scene 3: Trials in the Wilderness
The journey to Sunvale Pass is fraught with danger. In the dense woods, Angelica's party encounters a group of shadow wolves—feral beasts with glowing red eyes. The knights falter, but Angelica steps forward, her sword drawn.
Knight Aedan: (alarmed) Your Highness, we should retreat!
Princess Angelica: (firmly) No. We face them together.
The fundoshi pulses with light, filling Angelica with a surge of confidence. She directs the knights with precision, using their formation to outmaneuver the wolves. With her leadership, they defeat the pack.
Knight Aedan: (breathless) Your bravery inspires us, Princess.
Princess Angelica: (smiling) Bravery is contagious. Let's keep moving.
Scene 4: The Bandit's Stronghold
The group arrives at the Iron Maw fortress, a sprawling structure of blackened stone perched atop a jagged cliff. Angelica surveys the area, noting the guards patrolling the perimeter.
Princess Angelica: (to her knights) We'll create a diversion at the front gate. I'll infiltrate through the side passage and confront their leader.
Knight Aedan: (concerned) Alone, Your Highness?
Princess Angelica: (calmly) Trust me. We'll end this tonight.
Under the cover of darkness, Angelica slips into the fortress. The fundoshi's energy guides her steps, sharpening her senses as she navigates the labyrinthine halls. She finally reaches the bandit leader's chamber, where he waits—a hulking man with a cruel smile.
Iron Maw Leader: (mocking) A princess? They must be desperate.
Princess Angelica: (coldly) Desperate enough to end your reign.
The battle is fierce. The leader's strength is overwhelming, but Angelica uses her agility and the fundoshi's power to outmaneuver him. After a grueling fight, she disarms him and forces him to surrender.
Scene 5: The Triumph
The dawn breaks as Angelica and her knights return to the kingdom, the captured bandit leader in chains. The townspeople line the streets, cheering as the procession passes. In the royal courtyard, Queen Illyria waits with the other princesses.
Queen Illyria: (proudly) Princess Angelica, you have brought honor to our kingdom. Through your courage and leadership, you have secured peace for our people.
Angelica bows, her heart swelling with pride. Elara rushes forward, embracing her tightly.
Princess Elara: (smiling) I never doubted you for a second.
Princess Angelica: (teasing) You were the only one, then.
The other princesses step forward, offering their congratulations. Angelica holds up the Fundoshi of Courage, its glow now faint.
Princess Angelica: (softly) The fundoshi didn't give me courage. It only helped me see what was already there.
The scene fades as the camera pans to the horizon, where the sun rises over a peaceful kingdom.

In the grand courtyard of the palace, the atmosphere is jubilant. Streamers of gold and silver flutter in the breeze as townsfolk and nobles alike gather to celebrate Princess Angelica's triumphant return. The sound of cheers fills the air as the royal procession enters, led by Angelica on horseback. Her once pristine armor bears the marks of battle, but her posture is proud, her chin held high.

Queen Illyria: Rise, Angelica, Defender of the Realm.
Scene 7: The Legacy of the Fundoshi
Later that evening, Angelica and Elara stand in the Hall of Relics, where the Fundoshi of Courage will be placed alongside other legendary artifacts. The fundoshi, its glow now faint, rests on a velvet cushion.
Princess Elara: (teasing) Are you sure you don't want to keep it? It did make a rather bold fashion statement.
Princess Angelica: (laughing) Tempting, but it belongs here. Besides, I've learned that courage doesn't come from magical relics. It comes from knowing who you are and what you stand for.
Princess Elara: (smiling) Spoken like a true hero.
Angelica places the fundoshi on the pedestal, its faint glow a reminder of the challenges overcome and the strength found within.
