Miracle is known as the kingdom of beauty.
2
So much so that just walking on the street is the way to meet beautiful women.
3
Oh my god!
4
Oh, pretty girls!
5
Hey!
6
Sorry, are you alright?
7
Very!
8
Sorry!
9
You guys are so beautiful!
10
Haha!
11
You are sweet!
12
But if you don't get up quickly,
13
you'll miss the chance to see the five most beautiful princesses of miracle.
14
To increase attachment to the masses,
15
once a month, the royal princesses will leave the palace to go to help people in difficult circumstances.
16
Their arrival is always warmly welcomed by the people.
17
They even created a poll to see which princess was the most popular.
18
At the top is the princess Cancer,
19
who has a friendly gentle appearance.
20
She was always kind to everyone without distinction of classes.
21
The difference is not too big in the number of votes as the third princess Virgo,
22
the goddess of beauty.
23
If only in terms of beauty alone,
24
it would be hard for anyone to surpass her.
25
Or for those who love fragility,
26
softness, will definitely love Pisces.
27
She's just too shy to show up as much as her sisters.
28
There is not also a small number of people who love Scorpio's cold personality.
29
In particular, not only men, but mostly women.
30
You have to be more careful.
31
So.
32
Handsome!
33
At the bottom of the list is the second princess, Leo.
34
What was Leo doing in the room?
35
Leo is beautiful, strong, and kind.
36
It's just...
37
Ah, it exploded!
38
It's just that she keeps having something, well, weird.
39
Father Leo is the most motivated of the princesses.
40
She spends most of her time studying and researching.
41
Why are my efforts always unrecognized?
42
I just want people to have a better life.
43
Of course, the left hand is also the hand,
44
the right hand is also the hand, the king loves all.
45
My king, Princess Leo is coming!
46
Hmm?
47
Leo?
48
Hasn't she been eating seriously lately?
49
But in the position not the first,
50
not the last, not to make trouble,
51
not to talk anything, Leo is often forgotten.
52
Well, uh, I have something important to tell you.
53
Prince Ares of neighboring countries envoy is coming to seek a marriage alliance.
54
Among you, there will be a princess to be married off.
55
Being married to a princess means renouncing your inheritance and not being able to return to your country.
56
Besides, Ares, although a prince,
57
is just a concubine's child.
58
He's not respected by the others.
59
So everyone can see that this is not a good position.
60
Hey, you!
61
Cancer!
62
You are the eldest sister.
63
Say something!
64
I can listen to everything you say,
65
father, but only my marriage.
66
I've always wanted the true love of my life,
67
not the political love of my life.
68
Haven't you always wanted to get married and become a mother?
69
opportunity has come father Leo said it let Leo go she's
70
a big girl she always wanted to travel the world this place was made for Leo
71
that's what a girl who dances all the time and presses
72
and dancing only thinks about it the real battle between the
73
sisters broke out still strong squeezing in the middle separating the two from each other get off me a little Girl,
74
fighting all the time because of silly things.
75
Don't you see you are so childish?
76
Hey, you are small but so rude.
77
Just only no one fight like a man all day long.
78
That's right, there is no such thing sweet and soft in her personality.
79
So instead of just two people fighting,
80
now we have the princess battle of three princesses.
81
Huh?
82
Actually, this is a normal thing at the breakfast of the royal family.
83
Huh?
84
Only you are always gentle and docile.
85
Unfortunately, you were born always weak, constantly sick.
86
Father, I'm okay.
87
Pisces' sickly coughs stopped all the princesses.
88
Despite the disagreements, all the time they argued,
89
they still love each other very much.
90
That's enough for today.
91
Go back to your room and rest.
92
That night, the king confided with the prime minister about his troubles.
93
I know it was a difficult decision,
94
but you yourself understand the danger of breaking the will of the Empire,
95
don't you, my king?
96
I know, but if I trade the happiness of the children I love most in the world...
97
The conversation was overheard by Cancer outside side.
98
Not wanting her father to bother much more,
99
she decided to sacrifice her own happiness.
100
They thought they would be happy because she was in trouble and escaped from the situation.
101
But when they heard Cancer's decision,
102
the sisters were not happy at all.
103
Deep in their hearts, they weren't ready for the noisy family to lose their eldest sister.
104
A few days after the announcement of the engagement, the tragedy took place.
105
The king passed away suddenly.
106
The air of mourning filled the country.
107
Miyoko has no prince.
108
The king has now decided on an heir.
109
With this situation, I'm afraid,
110
trouble is going to happen.
111
My kingdom?
112
Who has the first birth is the king.
113
The soul of our beloved king would be comforted if my wedding with cancer took place quicker.
114
But isn't that too hasty?
115
No, you must believe me.
116
Moreover, after you become queen,
117
I will remain a miracle to be a bridegroom,
118
and my father's side will surely help.
119
Doubtful of this urgence, Leo secretly investigates and discovers that Ares is not as nice as he seems.
120
Oh, look how I caught two little rabbits.
121
You!
122
How dare you betray my sister!
123
What do you say?
124
We're just talking about intimacy.
125
If you like, you two can stay.
126
We can all talk.
127
You've crossed the line!
128
With the help of the other two sisters,
129
Leo and Virgo decide to expose the evil of Ares,
130
preventing her sister from marrying.
131
This was on the last day of breakfast,
132
the day before the wedding.
133
Father, if you were still here,
134
tomorrow would be the day I get married.
135
There will be no wedding.
136
The four princesses told Cancer all about Ares' lies and evils,
137
as well as the evidence they had gathered.
138
But if so, war is going to happen.
139
Even if you marry him,
140
the war will still happen.
141
Don't you want our father to rest in peace in heaven?
142
When father is alive, he always wants all of us to be united and happy.
143
The wedding was annulled, and Ares returned angry,
144
vowing to lead the army back for revenge.
145
It's not just a threat.
146
The Empire used this pretext to assemble its army,
147
preparing for the big war.
148
To save the country for the first time in their lives,
149
the five princesses unite and make the most of their strengths.
150
Cancer, who had been good at everything,
151
now took care of the army's food supply.
152
Leo's intentions finally have the opportunity to make people admire when they become the most advanced weapons,
153
increasing the strength of soldiers.
154
Thanks to his haste and customs,
155
Virgo can now lead a sewing team to work tirelessly day and night,
156
very quickly solving the problem of weather-resistant clothing.
157
The younger princess Pisces was weak all day just reading books,
158
timidly suddenly matured, forcefully wrote down plans and strategies in great detail.
159
Even the Prime Minister nodded at her wisdom,
160
as well as the strategies potential for victory.
161
However, such efforts are not enough to convince everyone.
162
During the gathering of soldiers,
163
the people expressed their doubts and distrust.
164
Against the Empire?
165
No way!
166
Miracle was just a small country.
167
Nothing we do can change the ending!
168
That's right!
169
After all, you are all weak and soft women!
170
Their attitude was changed by a very decisive action.
171
Invaders is coming.
172
Who cares about men and women?
173
The future is unpredictable.
174
If we easily give up before we start,
175
we will not be able to do anything in this lifetime.
176
At the same time, when the general who commanded the army this time was none other than Scorpio,
177
the royal princess, the people were extremely emotional, sworn unanimously.
178
With the cooperation and consensus of the whole country,
179
even before that, the Miracle Army was considered inferior in both quantity and strategic combat ability,
180
and yet they continued to win big victories.
181
Step by step, they repelled the invaders.
182
Scorpio triumphantly returned to the castle under the greeting of glory like an earthquake.
183
Princesses, we have a big problem.
184
The country cannot afford to prolong the state of non-ownership.
185
Who would be most deserving of the top spot?
186
Did the princess take care of food,
187
weapons, clothing, strategy or was she the one to fight?
188
Let Scorpio be the new queen.
189
She has no fear of danger and went to the battlefield herself.
190
No, without Pisces' great strategy,
191
I wouldn't have made it back alive.
192
I just say what the book says.
193
You've worked all day and night to take care of food,
194
weapons, and clothes that really contributed a lot.
195
You're right.
196
Let the people decide.
197
All five princesses were crowned as queens.
198
Besides, the peace of the kingdom would not be possible without the efforts of everyone.
199
With their personality and talents,
200
they together help the country become prosperous and better.

- Listen to each segment multiple times before attempting to repeat it. Start with just one sentence, then gradually move to larger sections as you become comfortable.
- Pay attention to the emotional tones in the voiceover. For example, notice how the friendly princess speaks compared to the more aloof character. Try to replicate these nuances in your own voice.
- Practice aloud, and make sure to record yourself. Listening back can provide valuable feedback on your pronunciation and fluency.
- Consider using shadowspeaks to enhance your understanding. Integrate the vocabulary phrases listed earlier into your practice sessions to reinforce learning.
By consistently applying these strategies, you will improve not only your speaking abilities but also your overall confidence in using the English language.
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 1β2 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.
