1
The Peacock Princess Welcome, dear visitor, to Eldoria.
2
Our kingdom is beautiful, fantastical, and mysterious.
3
In our marketplace, you can find luxurious clothing, shimmering jewels, and decadent delicacies.
4
In the castle, you'll find our dedicated King Lancaster and Queen Maribel.
5
But what you won't find in Eldoria, my friend, is our princess, Ivia.
6
Another year has passed, my husband.
7
I know, dear queen.
8
Will our daughter ever come home?
9
It has been five years now since she disappeared.
10
I don't want to say I've lost hope.
11
Then don't.
12
Besides, we have plenty to do before the celebration.
13
Some celebration.
14
Princess Ivia is next in line for the throne.
15
As the only daughter to the queen and the only child of direct blood, her claim is strong.
16
However, the queen's evil sister, Matilda, would not accept it.
17
She believed she was the rightful heir and summoned dark magic to curse Ivia and banish her from the kingdom.
18
The King and Queen never learned what became of their daughter, only that she disappeared thanks to a curse from Matilda.
19
Matilda was banished from the Kingdom as well, but where was Princess Ivia?
20
Your Majesty, forgive me.
21
I did not see you standing there.
22
Do not fret, Everett.
23
What can I do for you?
24
As you know, Princess Ivea's Disappearance Day celebration is tomorrow evening.
25
Yes, Your Majesty.
26
We have high hopes that this year the celebration will draw enough attention from neighboring kingdoms that she may just come home.
27
That would be wonderful, sir.
28
I need you to find an exotic animal, something we have never seen here in this kingdom.
29
My hope is that the people from all around will come to view this animal, and even more attention will be brought to Eldoria.
30
Any animal, sir?
31
Make it fantastical and mysterious, Everett.
32
Now, carry on.
33
I'll be eager to see what you bring.
34
Your Majesty.
35
Circulus Rotundus I'm going to go.
36
Circulus rotundus.
37
Gotcha!
38
I am no stranger to magic.
39
Show yourself.
40
I've got nothing to show!
41
Who are you and why are you here in the Kingdom of Eldoria?
42
If you pose a threat to the King and Queen, I'll have to...
43
I pose no threat!
44
Tell me your name.
45
Ivya!
46
Princess Ivya?
47
Who did this to you?
48
My mother's evil sister Matilda turned me into a peacock
49
and banished me to the other side of the mountain in an attempt to steal the throne from me.
50
I've been searching for the kingdom ever since.
51
And I found you.
52
I could tell you I was getting close, but I didn't know how close.
53
I had stopped to take a breath.
54
I must tell the king and queen.
55
They'll be thrilled.
56
Tomorrow is your disappearance celebration.
57
Imagine their surprise when...
58
My what?
59
No, you cannot tell them.
60
Not yet.
61
They can't see me like this.
62
You're beautiful.
63
They'll understand it's a curse.
64
No, not until the curse is broken.
65
Very well, Princess.
66
I'll leave you to sleep.
67
No, please, stay with me.
68
I've been alone for so long.
69
Princess Ivia and Everett sat in the hay and talked until dawn.
70
After hours and hours of exchanging stories, they realized very quickly that they were falling for one another.
71
Princess Ivia, is it too bold to tell you that I think I'm falling in love with you?
72
I...
73
I feel the same way, Everett.
74
But their happiness wouldn't last very long.
75
Gliese!
76
Contra in Petum.
77
You know, the dark magic I see.
78
Give me the princess and I won't hurt you.
79
I know the dark magic all right.
80
I'm so sorry.
81
That must have been terrifying.
82
Matilda, no!
83
But you.. you.. you?
84
You didn't tell me!
85
I know, I...
86
How could you keep this from me?
87
Ivia, I...
88
I didn't.
89
You're a monster!
90
It was clear that Princess Ivia was frightened of the Dark Prince, Everett.
91
His reputation was that of terror and pain.
92
But what she didn't know, he had long since foregone that life and his throne.
93
You found our daughter?
94
Where is the princess?
95
What have you done with her?
96
Nothing.
97
I've done nothing.
98
But she isn't here.
99
How can we trust you if you've lost her?
100
I promise you, I know how to find her again.
101
She's.. she's been cursed.
102
Cursed?
103
Your sister, Matilda, turned her into a peacock.
104
Dastardly.
105
I know the dark magic.
106
When I find her, I can transform her back.
107
And then you'll leave our kingdom forever?
108
If that's what you wish.
109
Savior or not, you know dark magic.
110
You're incredibly dangerous.
111
Why are you here, boy?
112
Everett told them his story.
113
The king and queen learned about his banishment.
114
How his father, angry about Everett's choice to leave his home and powers behind,
115
banished him from the kingdom and forced him to find a job working as a stable hand.
116
The king and queen accepted his tale and sent him on his way to find Princess Ivia.
117
Transformatio Pao Hello?
118
Hello?
119
Hello?
120
Hello?
121
Hello?
122
Hello?
123
Hello, I was calling you.
124
Another peacock in these woods?
125
How?
126
Fate, I believe.
127
Thank you to fates.
128
How do we get out of this forest?
129
Why would you want to escape?
130
Revertera ad humanum.
131
Hello, princess.
132
You again?
133
You do know the dark magic.
134
You know it better than anyone I've ever met.
135
But why did you become a peacock, Everett?
136
For you, princess.
137
I would do anything for you.
138
Well...
139
I can change you back.
140
What?
141
I know the spell, but in order for it to work, you have to want to turn back.
142
This is all too much!
143
That's the easiest part.
144
You just feel the desire in your heart.
145
When I cast the spell, you'll transform back.
146
It's not that easy.
147
It's not what...
148
I'd be more cautious if I were you. But Tilda!
149
If you change back into a human princess, I will be there to haunt you until the day you die.
150
I'll assure you never take the throne,
151
you never become queen, and you live a terrible, unfortunate life.
152
I'd like to see you try.
153
And what are you going to do about it, kid?
154
You surprised me earlier with that cute little counter spell.
155
But there's not much else you can say or do that would scare me now.
156
I'm stronger and more determined than ever to end things for sweet little princess Ivia.
157
You're the Dark Prince.
158
The only.
159
Your Majesty, I'm sorry.
160
I didn't mean to cross your path.
161
They said you were gone.
162
I didn't know.
163
I'm so sorry.
164
If you ever step foot in this kingdom again, I'll assure that you don't have feet to use.
165
Yes, your majesty.
166
Whatever you say.
167
Leave. Do not be afraid.
168
Although I wield one of the greatest dark powers aside from my father, the Dark King, I do not wish to harm you.
169
You've kept so much from me.
170
No. Everything I've told you is the truth.
171
I do love you, Princess.
172
What do you want to do?
173
I don't know.
174
Yes, you do.
175
It's okay.
176
You can tell me.
177
I want to stay a peacock.
178
The freedom I've felt all of these years has been incredible.
179
The second I become a human again, the kingdom will require that I take the crown.
180
I don't want to be queen, but I would turn back into a human for you, Everett.
181
Princess, I would turn into a peacock for you.
182
Truly?
183
Fully?
184
Fully.
185
I'd give up my magic.
186
I'd give up my life as a human if it meant I could be with you for the rest of my days.
187
And your throne?
188
Gone.
189
Give it to my brother.
190
I don't care.
191
Oh, Everett.
192
Transformatio Pablo.
193
Repeat after me.
194
Transformatio.
195
Transformatio.
196
Perpetua.
197
Perpetua. Is it done?
198
Yes, my powers are gone.
199
I'm a peacock for eternity, as are you.
200
A beautiful bird for the rest of our days.
201
Together.
202
What about my parents?
203
They'll want to know you're safe.
204
Come, I have an idea.
205
Ready?
206
Ready.
207
Prince Everett and Princess Ivia gave up their thrones to be together.
208
Everett never cast another spell, and Ivia never returned to the beautiful kingdom of Eldoria.
209
It is said that the king
210
and queen were heartbroken to learn their daughter wished to give up her duties to remain a peacock,
211
but after time passed, they accepted her fate and were nothing but happy for her love and new life.
212
The kingdom of Eldoria saw a new queen after the birth of Ivia's younger sister,
213
and she ruled the kingdom in her older sister's honor.
214
The Disappearance Celebration continues every year on the day of Ivia's disappearance, but no longer in search of her,
215
but to celebrate her happiness.
216
Thank you.

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 54 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come I've, I'm, didn't. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “th”: throne /θɹəʊ̯n/, thrill /θɹɪl/, breathe /bɹiːð/
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: celebration /ˌsɛl.ɪˈbɹeɪ.ʃən/, banish /ˈbænɪʃ/, assure /əˈʃʊɹ/, banishment /ˈbænɪʃmənt/, shimmer /ˈʃɪm.ɚ/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: celebration /ˌsɛl.ɪˈbɹeɪ.ʃən/, disappearance /dɪsəˈpɪəɹəns/, fantastical /fænˈtæstɪkəl/, mysterious /mɪˈstɪɹi.əs/, delicacy /ˈdɛlɪkəsi/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:

- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: majesty /ˈmæd͡ʒ.əs.ti/, banish /ˈbænɪʃ/, fantastical /fænˈtæstɪkəl/, transform /tɹænsˈfɔɹm/, banishment /ˈbænɪʃmənt/

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
