Three of their friends help them and take care of the pair like a royal couple. One day, mysteriously the boy and the girl really turn king and queen. And there will be a king’s court replete with ministers and other members associated with royalty. They start living like a royal couple. The rest of the screenplay is all about how they come out the strange circumstances."
