Excuse me?

Of course, Sunny picks Prince Aiden.
95
And me, once again stuck with a guy I don't even like.
96
But he did save me.
97
This castle, it's way beyond what I imagined.
98
The kingdom may be small,
99
but it's thriving, and the people are super friendly.
100
From everyone's stories, I was even more shocked to learn this place used to be a poor and ruined land.
101
It was Prince Throne who led it to become what it is today.
102
Maybe I was wrong to judge him by his looks.
103
Throne's actually a brilliant and devoted prince.
104
I know you don't have feelings for me after the wedding.
105
You may return to your homeland if you wish.
106
R-really?
107
Wait, what?
108
I better run before Prince Throne sees my face turning tomato red!
109
You're not allowed to leave.
110
Unless I say so.
111
Huh?
112
What's that supposed to mean?
113
This marriage is nothing but a political deal to me!
114
So this is the price I pay for backstabbing my friend?
115
All I ever wanted was a hot husband.
116
Marriage?
117
More like prison!
118
I need to get out of here!
119
I am a genius.
120
And now, bye!
121
Sometimes Sunny surprises me with how brave she can be.
122
And that courage helped her uncover Aiden's real plan.
123
So that was it.
124
Aiden's using this marriage to blackmail Sunny's homeland.
125
I mean, it's not like I want to.
126
But I have to find Sunny if I want to get back to the real world.
127
Princess Yuna is resting.
128
Allow me to escort Princess Lynx back.
129
Hmm.
130
Resting?
131
More like secretly enjoying royal life with her hot husband.
132
But the info I overheard from the guards?
133
Totally unexpected.
134
What did Sunny do to end up getting captured?
135
This castle's guarded like a fortress.
136
Is that.. throne?
137
Has he been following me this whole time?
138
This prince is way more suspicious than I thought.
139
How does he know every corner of this place so well?
140
Where's he taking me?
141
I don't want a hot husband anymore.
142
Please, just let me go.
143
Serves you right.
144
Nyx, you came?
145
Breaking down the door like that's gonna make way too much noise.
146
Watch and learn.
147
I feel like a secret agent from Totally Spies right now.
148
Thanks, Nyx.
149
Don't thank me.
150
Thank Prince Throne.
151
We have to hurry.
152
Aiden wants to use me to threaten and conquer my kingdom.
153
What?
154
It's all my fault.
155
Wait.
156
What do you mean?
157
Hmm.
158
Aiden and I are brothers.
159
We grew up together in this very castle.
160
But power corrupted him.
161
He sold his soul to a dark witch.
162
Using magic, Aiden stole part of my powers.
163
I was left like this,
164
and exiled to a fallen kingdom.
165
I should have come back sooner to stop him.
166
It's not too late.
167
Aiden stormed the castle, but the ambush caught him and his troops instead.
168
Surprise!
169
Now the real story begins.
170
It wasn't magic.
171
It was modern tech.
172
AI helped me recreate an entire video scene from Throne's memory.
173
Throne and Sunny led the soldiers just in time.
174
Game over, Aiden.
175
No soldier wants to fight for a traitor who turned on his own brother.
176
In his rage, Aiden turned his attack on me.
177
But I knew Throne would protect me.
178
Honestly, I think Aiden and Sunny would make a perfect match.
179
They're both so extra when it comes to being shady.
180
The curse is broken, so this is what Prince Throne really looks like?
181
Okay!
182
Truly, thank you, princesses.
183
Making peace?
184
Well, I guess I'm fine with that.
185
How long do you plan on sulking?
186
I am NOT sulking!
187
You.. waited for me?
188
I was just worried you might be in trouble.
189
I'm sorry for what I said earlier.
190
It's okay.
191
I mean, anyone would be embarrassed to be paired with me.
192
Here, take it.
193
Be more confident, will you?
194
A spa voucher?
195
Huh, maybe Sunny does have a good side.
196
I guess both of us learned the same thing.
197
Judging people by appearances is totally wrong.
198
It's what's on the inside that counts Wait a sec Does he have a crush on Viola?
199
Pretty sure they'll make the cutest couple ever What do you guys think?

Practice Tips

To maximize your learning experience, consider using the shadowing technique with this transcript. Begin by watching the video several times to familiarize yourself with the characters' tones and the pacing of their dialogue. Then, practice shadowing by repeating after each line while listening to the original audio. Focus on matching the speed and intonation of the speakers, which will help you improve English pronunciation and build your confidence in conversational settings.

Since the dialogue has a casual and dynamic tempo, try to maintain a relaxed yet engaged stance while practicing. If you find certain phrases challenging, break them down into smaller parts and practice each segment individually. This is particularly beneficial for IELTS speaking practice, allowing you to articulate complex ideas with clarity. By regularly incorporating these techniques into your English learning regimen, you will develop a more fluent and expressive speaking style, ideal for making meaningful connections in everyday conversations. Consider making this shadowing site part of your routine to deepen your comprehension and fluency.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud β€” like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency β€” making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
