Honestly by this point, Peridot's heroic spaz attack has probably rendered it moot.

Alright, this is what's going on:

The princess of the flower kingdom isn't dead. Her name is Azalea and she's the lady with the pink hair and sun glasses. Rosemaster used her mind control powers to make everyone in the flower kingdom THINK she was dead, because Rosemaster can mind control anyone who's named after a flower or flowering plant (carrots, cumbers, and almonds are all flowering plants and also the names of three of the main characters). However, she cannot mind control anyone named after something that isn't a plant like Nautilus (a sea critter) or Peridot (a rock) and that's why she kidnapped them instead of brainwashing them like she did everyone else.

Also, there's very plausible speculation that the whole point of this plan was for the contest-winning "princess" to sign the sword. Then, everyone goes cruising on out of Flower Kingdom with a signature they don't realize doesn't mean poo poo. So when they would show up to fight Nightlight, the Dream Sword would just be a useless hunk of metal, because it doesn't have the signature of every princess.

Maybe it's a limitation of her power, or maybe she just really loves drama. Maybe that was all just a back up system and her actual plan was to just use them to get the Hocus Crocus and then destroy them.

Honestly it's a p. good plan, and the kind of idea one might get after realizing you're gonna get beaten time and time again forever. Might as well be sneaky about it so you get beat as usual but you screw them in the long run. Honestly I'm kinda surprised Double-Knight didn't tamper with it.

If it can be derailed by something as simple as a teenager's emotional issues then it's not a very good plan.

Definitely the latter. NK already called her plan convoluted, and she calls it a drama. Plus she was totally ready to off Nautilus early on until Caboodle bailed her out. Rosemaster coulda just taken on everyone by now if she didn't want to put on a show, and she definitely coulda gone nuts on 'em by now if she wasn't busy totally killing Glitchmaster.

Looking at her ask.fm page, gigi said she doesn't like SA. I'm going to be honest, I don't even blame her in the slightest, but I don't exactly remember why she doesn't like us.

She never really said what it was so there's just speculation. It happened around the time the Webcomics mock thread popped up so it isn't hard to guess. I don't think anyone had anything against her comic in particular but maybe some webcomicker friend got laughed at or something whatevs

Rosemaster can manipolate / erase the memories of everybody who's named after a flower or flowering plant.

Step 1: erase Azalea's memory.
Step 2: tell Azalea "You're my assistant, let's go conquer the Flower Kingdom".
Step 3: ????
Step 4: Profit.

I wonder if deep insinde they were all aware of the mind control, but still had to act out this whole play for Rosemaster. Azalea's face sure supports this theory.

If so, Legato would be mad jelaous.

"Go on until you're stopped."
It occurs to me that not only did Rosemaster probably just kill everybody who wasn't named after a plant in the kingdom, she's probably done it so many times that they just stopped giving people non-plant names in the Flower Kingdom because it's "unlucky."

Eh... not really. I think "people are named in their kingdom's theme" is one of those details you just accept, here. It's not just this one, so no need to give this one some sinister reason. Call it a cultural thing if you want.
