[00:03] Luiphon
    Truly, who'd have imagined
[00:04] Luiphon
    that famously obstinate Norman would
    take an orphan as an apprentice?
[00:08] Kyros
    That is a surprise.
[00:10] Kyros
    He used to be so adamant that he
    wouldn't pass on his skills to anyone.
[00:15] Marie
    Wh-What is his apprentice's name?
[00:19] Luiphon
    His name is Arthur. He's a twelve
    or thirteen-year-old boy.
[00:27] Marie
    Yes, of course.
[00:30] Kyros
    Marie... Don't tell me that you think
    Anastasia might still be alive?
[00:35] Luiphon
    You think that Norman's apprentice
    might be your sister?
[00:38] Luiphon
    That seems highly unlikely.
[00:40] Marie
    Yes, of course.
[00:42] Marie
    I understand.
[02:23] Marie; narration
    A few weeks have passed since
    my father was issued a summons.
SIGN    Episode 10 "Please Call Off the Betrothal"
[02:27] Marie; narration
    There hasn't been any response yet.
[02:30] Marie; narration
    All I can do is devote everything I have
    to learning aristocratic etiquette...
[02:36] Marie; narration
    and write letters of thanks to pass to the
    guests who attend the betrothal ceremony.
[02:42] Marie; narration
    All so that I can grow the slightest
    bit more worthy of Lord Kyros.
[03:20] Kyros
    Yesterday, I dispatched a carriage
    to bring the baron here directly.
[03:25] Marie
    I see.
[03:28] Kyros
    If he still doesn't comply, I may have
    to resort to slightly rougher measures.
[03:33] Marie
    I'm so sorry.
[03:35] Marie
    If my father remains in hiding,
    as his blood relative,
[03:38] Marie
    I'm prepared to face any punishment.
[03:40] Kyros
    Please don't say that! Do you
    think I would allow such a thing?
[03:45] Marie
    But someone has to accept responsibility
    for his actions, don't they?
[03:50] Kyros
    Marie!
[03:52] Marie
    I'm all right.
[03:59] Marie
    I'll go to my dance practice now.
[04:12] Liu Liu
    I have nothing left to teach her.
[04:16] Liu Liu
    She works so much harder
    than most people.
[04:18] Kyros
    Yes.
[04:23] Liu Liu
    Don't you ever let her go.
[04:25] Kyros
    I know.
[04:31] Kyros
    Noble lady,
[04:33] Kyros
    will you favor me with a dance?
[04:43] Marie
    With pleasure... sir.
[04:51] Kyros
    You really have gotten good at this!
[04:54] Marie
    I'm happy to hear you say so.
[04:57] Marie
    I've practiced a lot, so—
[05:04] Kyros
    What's wrong? Are you all right?
[05:06] Marie
    I-I'm sorry. My feet suddenly got tangled.
[05:11] Kyros
    You're pushing yourself far too hard.
[05:13] Kyros
    Rest a little.
[05:15] Marie
    No, I haven't pushed myself at all!
[05:18] Marie
    By the betrothal ceremony,
    I'll do better than—
[05:21] Kyros
    Marie!
[05:29] Kyros
    Are you all right? Shouldn't
    you go to your rooms and rest?
[05:32] Marie
    No, I'm fine.
[05:34] Kyros
    No, you're not!
[05:36] Kyros
    Ever since we heard about Norman's
    apprentice, you've been acting strangely!
[05:40] Kyros
    You're still thinking about
    Anastasia, aren't you?
[05:42] Marie
    Th-That's not...
[05:44] Kyros
    There's something bothering you, isn't there?
[05:48] Marie
    I saw someone... near the artisans' quarter.
[05:52] Marie
    Someone who looked like my sister.
[05:54] Marie
    Someone blonde.
[05:57] Kyros
    All right. Let's meet Norman's apprentice.
[06:00] Marie
    What?
[06:00] Kyros
    Once you've seen him with your own
    eyes, your feelings should lighten.
[06:08] Marie
    Yes.
[06:19] Tomas
    I've brought Smith Norman.
[06:31] Kyros
    Norman, it's been a while, hasn't it?
[06:34] Norman
    It has been indeed, Count Granado.
[06:43] Kyros
    Norman... what happened to your eyes?
[06:46] Norman
    Three years ago while I was working,
[06:48] Norman
    shards of hot iron sprang
    loose and pierced my goggles.
[06:53] Norman
    I can still see light and dark and colors,
    so I am able to live surprisingly normally.
[06:58] Kyros
    What about people's faces?
[07:01] Norman
    If it's someone I know
    well, then I can get by.
[07:03] Norman
    But my apprentice waits
    on all the new customers.
[07:06] Kyros
    Speaking of which, where is your apprentice?
[07:09] Kyros
    Why isn't he here?
[07:12] Norman
    My apologies.
[07:14] Norman
    I told him to come with me,
    but he said he wasn't feeling well.
[07:19] Mio
    We'll send another messenger.
[07:23] Kyros
    Norman, Luiphon said that your
    apprentice is a young man,
[07:27] Kyros
    but how do you know he's a man?
[07:29] Norman
    Well, he said so himself. Why do you ask?
[07:33] Norman
    You can't mean that you think
    I'm sheltering a woman?
[07:37] Norman
    Don't even joke about such a thing!
    I would never let a woman into my workshop!
[07:41] Norman
    And Arthur is still just a fledgling,
    but he has both talent and grit!
[07:44] Kyros
    I-I see. I heard that you met
    Arthur in the royal capital.
[07:49] Norman
    Yes, he was fleeing from being
    sold off to some nobles,
[07:53] Norman
    so he was wandering the
    town with no money at all.
[07:56] Norman
    When I said that I was a
    button artisan, he said,
[07:58] Norman
    "Really, old man? Then
    make me your apprentice!"
[08:02] Marie
    What?
[08:03] Kyros
    He said that himself?
[08:05] Norman
    Indeed.
[08:06] Norman
    He said, "I'm sick of a life of bein' taken
    advantage of by rotten, rich villains!"
[08:11] Marie
    Oh my.
[08:13] Kyros; internal
    Just as I thought. He must be someone else.
[08:15] Kyros; internal
    A noble's daughter would
    never speak that way.
[08:18] Norman
    His skills in the craft still need work,
    but his grasp of clothing is exceptional.
[08:23] Norman
    Clothes for women to dress as men, was it?
[08:26] Norman
    He said he'd been making those
    sorts of things for a while now.
[08:30] Marie; internal
    Clothes for women to dress as
    men? Th-That's just like...
[08:34] Kyros
    What an unusual hobby.
    Were his parents artisans, too?
[08:38] Norman
    He doesn't seem to want
    to talk about his parents.
[08:42] Norman
    No matter what I ask, he always answers,
[08:45] Norman
    "Quit asking, you moron!
    I'm just a raggedy cat!"
[08:48] Norman
    Imagine.
[08:52] Kyros
    What an entertaining apprentice!
[08:55] Norman
    Indeed.
[08:56] Norman
    Next time, I'll bring some of the
    men's clothes for women that he made.
[08:59] Kyros
    I look forward to it.
[09:01] Kyros
    They'd likely suit Marie unexpectedly well.
[09:06] Kyros
    Marie?
[09:09] Kyros
    Marie!
[09:10] Kyros
    Marie!
[09:12] Kyros
    Where are you?
[09:15] Kyros
    Please come out!
[09:23] Mio
    Begin a search of the immediate area at once!
[09:25] servants
    Yes, miss!
[09:26] Cillie
    Marie!
[09:28] Cillie
    Where are you?
[09:30] Cillie
    Marie!
[09:32] Tunika
    Lady Marie!
[09:35] Toppo
    My lady, why...
[09:41] Tomas
    Mister Johan! Have you seen our lady?
[09:47] Kyros
    Confound it!
[09:50] Kyros
    Why can't I find her?
[10:04] Kyros
    Marie? Are you here?
[10:07] Kyros
    You are, aren't you? May I come in?
[10:11] Marie
    Stay away.
[10:13] Kyros
    Why this room?
[10:16] Marie
    This room?
[10:19] Marie; internal
    Oh, now that he mentions it...
[10:27] Marie; internal
    For some reason... I felt like
    this place would protect me.
[10:32] Kyros
    Please... Please let me join you.
[10:36] Kyros
    It gets cold here. Let's drink some
    hot tea and calm ourselves.
[10:40] Marie
    Lord Kyros...
[11:03] Kyros
    Marie...
[11:05] Marie
    Hearing Mister Norman made me certain of it.
[11:08] Marie
    My sister loved to make clothes.
[11:11] Marie
    And those lines from
    The Tale of the Raggedy Red Cat.
[11:15] Marie
    She is alive, just as I thought.
[11:17] Marie
    And now there's no reason for
    me to be allowed to stay here.
[11:21] Kyros
    What do you mean?
[11:22] Kyros
    Even if Anastasia is alive, our feelings
    for each other are shared, aren't they?
[11:28] Marie
    My sister is a kind,
    beautiful, wonderful woman.
[11:32] Marie
    No matter what I do, I'll
    never be a match for her.
[11:36] Marie
    I know that your feelings
    for me aren't a lie.
[11:39] Marie
    But... it's only because
    you don't know my sister.
[11:44] Marie
    If you knew her properly, I'm certain
    you'd fall in love with her, too.
[11:48] Marie
    More than you could ever love someone like me.
[11:51] Kyros
    What are you saying?!
[11:52] Kyros
    It's you I love!
    I've loved you all this time!
[11:56] Kyros
    Are you saying... you can simply
    cast aside your feelings for me?
[12:02] Marie; internal
    Cast them aside?
[12:04] Marie; internal
    I could never cast them aside!
[12:06] Kyros
    You don't have to worry.
[12:10] Kyros
    I love you just as you are.
[12:13] Marie; internal
    The me that you love is the beautiful me...
[12:17] Marie; internal
    not the ugly human that I am.
[12:23] Marie
    I... loathe myself.
[12:27] Kyros
    Marie.
[12:29] Marie; internal
    I thought that I wished my sister
    were still alive, and yet...
[12:33] Marie; internal
    If my sister were dead, then I'd
    be able to stay by your side.
[12:39] Marie; internal
    I allowed myself to dream.
[12:42] Marie; internal
    My true feelings are so repulsive...
[12:45] Marie; internal
    I'm certain they would disappoint you.
[12:49] Marie; internal
    Now, while you still love me...
[12:54] Marie
    Please call off the betrothal.
[13:00] Marie
    I will return to the Shaderan household.
[13:06] Kyros
    All right. I will grant your wish.
[13:27] Marie
    Thank you for taking care of me.
[13:29] Marie
    I'll dedicate my life to reimbursing you for
     my living costs and for ending our betrothal.
[13:35] Kyros
    You don't have to worry about any of that.
[13:39] Mio
    I will drive her home.
[14:09] Kyros
    Marie... is this really what you want?
[14:18] Marie
    Yes.
[14:24] Kyros
    I'm too weak.
[14:27] Kyros
    I know that you don't mean
    what you say, and yet...
[14:31] Kyros
    I...
[14:33] Kyros
    Marie, isn't there anything
    left that I can do?
[14:39] Marie
    Nothing.
[14:41] Marie
    You've already done more than enough for me.
[14:46] Kyros
    I see.
[14:55] Kyros
    If I can find the courage...
[14:58] Kyros
    If I can grow a little
    bit stronger as a man...
[15:04] Kyros
    then one day, I promise I will come to you.
[15:07] Kyros
    I beg of you, please wait
    for me until that day.
[15:21] Marie; internal
    I left without saying goodbye to everyone.
[15:24] Marie; internal
    Even though they took such good care of me.
[15:27] Marie; internal
    If he'd taken someone as
    ungrateful as me as his wife,
[15:30] Marie; internal
    it would bring misfortune to everyone.
[15:32] Marie; internal
    This is the right thing to do after all.
[15:35] Mio
    I'm disappointed in the master.
[15:38] Mio
    I never imagined he was so weak and cowardly.
[15:40] Marie
    Cowardly?
[15:42] Mio
    Instead of choosing a happy future for you,
    he chose to stop your tears in the present.
[15:48] Mio
    Because he's afraid of hurting you.
[15:51] Marie; internal
    Afraid of hurting me?
[15:54] Marie; internal
    I didn't want to get hurt,
    so I hurt him instead,
[15:59] Marie; internal
    and he worked to protect me.
[16:02] Marie; internal
    I'm certain it's because
    I seemed about to break.
[16:05] Marie; internal
    Is that weakness?
[16:29] Marie; internal
    Eyes more beautiful than any star...
[16:33] (Flashback) Kyros
    From the first moment I
    met you, I've loved you.
[16:38] (Flashback) Kyros
    I love you, Marie.
[16:41] (Flashback) Kyros
    I love you from the bottom of my heart.
[16:43] (Flashback) Kyros
    And no matter what happens,
    I will always be by your side.
[16:47] (Flashback) Kyros
    You are beautiful!
[16:50] Marie; internal
    Lord Kyros always told
    me exactly how he felt.
[16:55] Marie; internal
    And yet I...
[16:58] Marie
    All I've done is run away!
[17:02] Marie; internal
    The first treasure I've ever found.
[17:09] Marie; internal
    I was so afraid of losing it...
[17:11] Marie; internal
    that I lied and said I didn't want it.
[17:15] Marie; internal
    I didn't want to get hurt,
[17:17] Marie; internal
    so I tried to convince myself
    that I wasn't worthy.
[17:21] Marie; internal
    But... the truth is, I've always wanted it.
[17:26] Marie; internal
    I've wanted it so badly
    that I couldn't stand it.
[17:34] Marie
    Mio, please! The carriage!
[17:37] Mio
    Understood.
[17:41] Marie
    Wh-What?
[17:45] Mio
    We'll be back very soon.
[17:47] Mio
    Up until just now, we've simply been
    circling near the castle, you see?
[17:51] Marie
    What?
[17:52] Mio
    The carriage will rock a bit. Please
    be careful not to bite your tongue.
[18:06] Marie; internal
    I let it slip away once, but this
    time everything will be fine!
[18:23] Marie; internal
    I won't run anymore!
[18:24] Marie; internal
    I won't lie to myself anymore!
[18:28] Marie
    Lord Kyros!
[18:30] Marie
    The coward... the one who
    needs more courage is me!
[18:34] Marie
    So, I'm going to tell you properly!
[18:38] Marie
    I want you!
[18:40] Marie
    And everyone in this castle, too!
[18:42] Marie
    Everything related to you, all of it!
[18:44] Marie
    I don't want to let anyone else have it!
[18:47] Marie
    Please give all of yourself to me!
[19:00] Marie
    Lord Kyros?
[19:02] Marie
    Why are you behind me?
[19:07] Kyros
    I was chasing after you.
[19:30] Cillie
    Stupid! Marie, you're so stupid!
[19:32] Cillie
    You're not going to leave anymore, right?
[19:35] Cillie
    You're going to say you're home now, right?
[19:37] Marie
    Yes. I'm home, Cillie.
[19:40] Tomas
    My lady...
[19:43] Tomas
    Welcome home.
[19:46] Marie
    Everyone...
[19:49] Marie
    I'm so sorry for worrying you.
[19:51] Toppo
    The ultimate apple pie!
[19:53] Toppo
    Just one bite and you'll
    never think of leaving again!
[19:58] Marie
    You're right.
[20:00] Toppo
    What do you think the secret ingredient is?
[20:03] Liu Liu
    Miss Marie?
[20:05] Liu Liu
    Please don't go anywhere.
[20:08] Liu Liu
    Kyros always ran away from
    falling in love with anyone,
[20:12] Liu Liu
    but now he's finally met you.
[20:14] Marie
    Yes, I won't run anymore.
[20:19] Marie; internal
    It happened before I even realized it.
[20:22] Marie; internal
    Here, in this castle, little by
    little, I built the real thing...
[20:26] Marie; internal
    A place where I belong.
[20:50] Marie; internal
    That's right. I...
[20:56] Kyros
    Marie...
[21:00] Marie
    Is he searching for me?
[21:07] Marie; internal
    He's sort of... cute.
[21:13] Mio
    Pardon the intrusion.
[21:14] Marie
    Mio?
[21:16] Mio
    If you'd like, the bath is ready.
[21:19] Mio
    Tunika has prepared everything.
[21:21] Marie
    Y-Yes!
[21:31] Marie
    The hot bath was lovely.
[21:34] Marie
    I wonder if Lord Kyros is awake yet.
[21:38] Marie
    What if he's looking for me again?
[21:45] Anastasia
    Don't move!
[21:47] Anastasia
    Where is Marie Shaderan's room?
[21:49] Marie; internal
    That voice...
[21:51] Anastasia
    It's so dark it's hard to see.
    Hurry up and show me—
[21:58] Kyros
    Marie, are you all right?
[22:00] Marie
    Lord Kyros?
[22:02] Kyros
    I woke up, so I came looking
    for you. That was too close!
[22:06] Anastasia
    Wh-What'd you think you're
    doing, you gargantuan man?
[22:09] Kyros
    What's this? Quite the
    spirited little hoodlum.
[22:13] Marie
    I-It's not like that. She's...
[22:19] Marie
    my older sister, Anastasia!
[23:57] Liu Liu
    Miss Marie is family,
[23:59] Liu Liu
    and I'm so glad that she came back!
[24:02] Liu Liu
    Wait. Miss Anastasia?
[24:05] Liu Liu
