00:00In a grand palace surrounded by flowers and fountains,
00:08everything seemed perfect except one thing, silence.
00:13She hasn't smiled, not even once, not as a baby, not on her birthday,
00:18not even during the royal clown parade.
00:22She's not cold, my love, just quiet.
00:25Her heart is full, but locked.
00:27Princess Liana stands by the window, watching the courtyard below.
00:32She doesn't blink. No frown, no smile, just stillness.
00:37Her beauty lights up the palace, but where is the joy in her eyes?
00:42Even the maid walked quietly, afraid to disturb the silence around the princess.
00:47She was known as Princess Liana, the girl who never smiled.
00:52The king could no longer bear the silence in the palace halls.
00:55So, he took a deep breath and made a bold royal announcement before the entire court.
01:01I declare this to all the lands.
01:04Whoever makes my daughter, Princess Liana, smile,
01:08even once shall marry her and share in the crown of Evermere.
01:14Do you think this will work, my love?
01:17We've tried everything else.
01:19Perhaps this will open her heart.
01:23I'm not trying to be cold.
01:25I just don't know what joy feels like.
01:29And so, the call spread across mountains, seas, and deserts.
01:33Make the princess laugh, win her heart.
01:36And the kingdom, the palace gates, swung open.
01:39From every kingdom came performers, princes, and puzzling people,
01:44each desperate to make the princess laugh.
01:46A prince in golden armor tries to ride a dancing camel.
01:51It sits on him.
01:52A jester juggles flaming pineapples.
01:55His pants catch fire.
01:57That was the twelfth goose this week.
02:00At least this one hit the right note.
02:03Thank you for trying.
02:04Please be careful with the pineapple next time.
02:07Day after day, the line of hopefuls grew and failed.
02:12And the princess?
02:13Still not a flicker of a smile.
02:15Why do they try so hard, Naya?
02:18Every week, it's a different parade of fools.
02:22They're all hoping to be the one who makes you laugh, Your Highness.
02:26None of it feels real.
02:28They wear masks.
02:29They dance like puppets.
02:31I don't want performance.
02:33I want truth.
02:34Maybe your smile is just waiting for the right moment.
02:39Or the right person.
02:41If such a person exists, I haven't met him yet.
02:44And so another quiet morning passed in the palace of the princess, who never smiled.
02:50Meanwhile, far outside the palace walls lived Milo.
02:54Milo was simple.
02:56He swept the village bakery, talked to animals, and tripped over his own feet daily.
03:01No, Sprinkles.
03:02That's my sandwich.
03:04Hey.
03:05Okay.
03:06Fine.
03:06You win again.
03:07Villagers chuckle.
03:09Milo shrugs and smiles, brushing flour off his nose.
03:13The princess of Evermere never smiles.
03:16A crown awaits the one with style.
03:20She's never smiled?
03:22Not even once?
03:24That's sad.
03:26Maybe she doesn't need jokes.
03:28Maybe she just needs someone who's real.
03:31He looks at his broom, his dancing chicken, and the goat chewing his scarf.
03:35All right then.
03:36We're off to the castle, I guess.
03:38At the castle gates, knights raised their eyebrows as Milo approached with a cart full of mismatched
03:44objects.
03:45You are here to entertain the princess?
03:49I suppose I am, unless you need your floor swept first.
03:54What is happening?
03:56Is that a goat with a flower crown?
03:59For the first time, Princess Liana blinked with curiosity.
04:02Milo was a walking accident, but also a gentle storm of joy.
04:06He tried to fix a squeaky toy.
04:09It exploded glitter in his face.
04:12He fed cake to the broom instead of the chicken.
04:15He bowed so deeply, his pants ripped in front of everyone.
04:19He doesn't seem to know what he's doing.
04:22But he's not pretending either, your highness.
04:26Darling, is that the start of a smile I see?
04:30No.
04:32For the first time in years, something stirred.
04:34The next hour was a series of hilarious accidents.
04:38Milo tripped on a ribbon, threw flowers in the air, and mistook the queen's fan for a
04:43napkin.
04:44He accidentally proposed to the gardener.
04:47I didn't mean to propose.
04:49I just wanted the cupcake.
04:51Did he just ask the gardener to marry him?
04:54I'm starting to like this boy.
04:57And then the moment arrived.
04:59Trying to impress the royal falcon, Milo balanced a pie on his head.
05:03The falcon swooped down, grabbed the pie, and flew off, flinging whipped cream into the
05:09king's face.
05:10Why me?
05:12A snort.
05:13Then a giggle.
05:14Then a full, honest, sparkling laugh burst out of Princess Liana.
05:19Everyone froze.
05:21She laughed.
05:22By the stars.
05:24She laughed.
05:26Did I do that?
05:27Wait, I did that?
05:29The bells rang across the city.
05:32The people danced in the streets.
05:34Even the clouds seemed to smile that day.
05:37You didn't try to charm me.
05:39You just showed up, like sunshine in a storm.
05:43Well, I do fall like lightning.
05:46Prepare for a royal wedding, my boy.
05:49Even Sprinkles got a crown made of flowers.
05:52In the gardens of Evermere, under the golden sun, Princess Liana and Milo were married.
05:57Milo tripped, walking down the aisle.
06:01Liana caught him, laughing.
06:03The broom brought the rings.
06:05The goat ate half the bouquet.
06:07I've never seen her glow like this.
06:11She found her joy in a boy who made no sense.
06:15I promise to make you laugh, or at least fall over trying.
06:20That's all I ever needed.
06:22The palace, once silent, now echoed with laughter.
06:26Liana smiled every morning.
06:29Milo spilled tea every afternoon.
06:31The goat became an honorary knight, and the princess never stopped laughing.
06:37Sometimes the brightest light comes from the clumsiest heart.
06:41And so, the girl who never smiled laughed every day of her life.
