Florante At Laura Rev.

Intro:
On a faraway vast land, there’s a mystical forest outside the Kingdom of Albanya. Florante, son
of Duke Briseo and Princess Floresca, was knotted tightly on a giant old tree in the middle of the
dark forest. Sadness and emptiness crept around the helpless Prince. The scary woods and
uncanny sounds of wild animals and creatures just didn’t help.

Just before two huge lions were about to ravish the poor Prince, a kindhearted Persian Morong,
Aladin, helped Florante. Aladin was on exile from his own kingdom because of his father’s
cruelty. His father, Ali-Adab, took his lovely fiancé away from him. On his way to the woods, he
heard Florante’s scream trying to seek help from the lions nearly killing him.

The two became good friends and they started to talk about their past and what brought them
there in the woods. Florante told Aladin his true identity—a prince of Albanya. He also told his
new friend about his another near-death experience involving a giant crow which was killed by
his cousin, Menalipo, his school days at Atenas where he met Adolfo whom from the beginning
was his rival. Adolfo tried to kill Florante during their school play, the latter was rescued by
Menandro, nephew of their kind professor – Antenor. Because of that terrible incident, Adolfo
decided to go back home in Albanya.
One day in Atenas, a sad news came to Florante about the death of his mother. After two
months, the Prince went back home in Albanya.

In Albanya, Duke Briseo and King Linseo, father of Laura, gathered a meeting about their
defense against the troops of Persian General Osmalik. Osmalik ruined the Kingdom of
Kotrona. According to the King, he dreamt of a clever powerful Prince who looked like Florante,
their only weapon to beat Osmalik.

Love At first sight thing:

Florante instantly fell in love with Laura seeing his beauty. In his three days stay at their palace,
he never had the chance to talk to the Princess. He only had few moments with her when he
was prepared to battle. The princess only sent her tears and hopes.
Alas, Florante defeated Osmalik. He stayed for another five months in the kingdom of Kotrona.
He went home and was amazed what greeted him …their enemy, Morong, flag was waving high
in the air.

While Florante and his troop of soldiers were on their way down the mountain, they witnessed a
girl whose head was about to be cut by Aladin’s troop. Florante and his troop rescued the girl
who was Laura. Eventually, Florante saved his kingdom including King Linseo, Duke Briseo and
Adolfo.

Miramolin tried to invade Albanya:

After that triumph, another army headed by Miramolin tried to invade the Kingdom of Albanya.
Fortunately, Florante has succeeded victory again.

In the midst of battle, Florante received a letter while he’s in Etolya. He had to go back to
Albanya not knowing it was just a wicked scheme to kill him. Adolfo made it all to kill the young
Prince. Adolfo has killed Florante’s father and took the crown and his kingdom. Florante has
been captive for thirteen days. After that, the Count of Albanya has condemned him to be
thrown away in the wild forest to feed the wild beasts and lions.

Learning about his dark fate, it was Aladin’s turn to tell Florante about his life. Aladin left his
father’s kingdom after his father king took his fiancé, Flerida. He left everything behind and went
to Persia. When Florante has succeeded in claiming back Albanya against Aladin’s troops, the
king realized her son surrendered and for him it was a big shame. Because of that, he executed
an order to catch Aladin and cut his head. But Aladin was thrown away from Persia and couldn’t
come back again ever.

While Aladin and Florante got to know each other, they became good friends. They realized
their own fate. In the middle of their chats, they heard voices of two people in the woods. They
followed it and found out they were Laura and Flerida. Aladin then learned that Flerida escaped
from the wicked hands of his father, Sultan Ali-Adab by disguising to be a gerero who fell down
until reached the woods.

On the other hand, Florante realized that he was Laura’s one true love although he admitted he
thought the girl cheated on him so many times. Laura never had affections to Adolfo which is
why the latter tried to enslave her ruin her but Flerida saved Laura by speared the pitiless man.
Menandro came looking for Adolfo only finding him dead.

Happy ending:
After all has settled back to normal, everything went back into place in the kingdom and
everyone was so happy. Everyone was celebrating in Albanya.

Florante and Laura married each other and celebrated their wedding. They became the new
king and queen of Albanya while Aladin and Flerida were baptized as Christians before they
wed, too. They returned back to Persia to start a new happy life and became the new leaders of
their kingdom.
