Chapter 34: A Royal Romance Unfolds
Part 33
As the Warp Pipe spat them out, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad tumbled onto the lush green grass of the Mushroom Kingdom, their surroundings familiar and comforting. Luigi, still reeling from the unexpected display of affection from Princess Daisy, couldn't help but feel a little dazed. As they picked themselves up, Mario clapped Luigi on the back, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Hey, Luigi, congratulations are in order!" he exclaimed, a wide grin spreading across his face. "You're a regular ladies' man, aren't you?" Luigi's face turned bright red as Peach and Toad chimed in, their voices filled with excitement. "Yes, Luigi, you're absolutely charming!" Peach said, her eyes shining with amusement. "Daisy must have been swept off her feet by your good looks and charming personality." Toad nodded vigorously, his mushroom cap bobbing up and down. "Yeah, Luigi, you're a real catch! I'm surprised Daisy didn't swoon on the spot." Luigi's face grew even hotter as he stuttered, "I-I don't know what to say, guys. It was all so sudden." Peach's expression turned serious, her voice taking on a more gentle tone. "Luigi, Daisy is not an easy woman to impress. She's a strong and independent princess, and she doesn't give her affections lightly. But it seems that she found you irresistible." Mario chuckled, teasing his brother. "Yeah, Luigi, you're a real charmer. I'm surprised you didn't have a crowd of princesses waiting for you at the palace." Luigi shook his head, laughing. "It's not like that, Mario. I just...I don't know, it just happened." As they made their way back to the castle, the group couldn't help but talk about Luigi's newfound romance. Toad bubbled over with excitement, asking Luigi a million questions about Daisy and their time together in Sarasaland. Peach smiled warmly, happy to see her dear friend so happy. Mario, meanwhile, continued to tease Luigi, but deep down, he was happy to see his brother so carefree. As the night drew to a close, the group said their goodbyes and headed off to bed, Luigi's heart still racing with excitement. He couldn't wait to see what the future held for him and Princess Daisy.
