[01:33] Mio
    I'm so sorry for taking so long to arrive.
[01:37] Mio
    Is this person...
SIGN    Episode 11 "The Empty Princess Lives"
[01:42] Kyros
    Is that really Anastasia?
[01:44] Marie
    Yes. Her hair and manner
    of dress are different...
[01:49] Marie
    but there's no mistake.
[01:50] Anastasia
    Wait. That voice!
[01:52] Anastasia
    Marie! Is that you, Marie?
[01:55] Marie
    Yes.
[01:59] Marie
    Sister... it's you, isn't it?
[02:01] Anastasia
    It is.
[02:03] Kyros
    She really is alive.
[02:05] Kyros
    What's going on?
[02:08] Anastasia
    So you're Count Granado.
[02:09] Anastasia
    Release Marie from the betrothal immediately!
[02:14] Anastasia
    If all you want is someone to give you
    noble children, then I should suffice!
[02:18] Kyros
    Wha—?
[02:19] Marie
    S-Sister, it isn't that you want
    to marry Lord Kyros, is it?
[02:24] Anastasia
    Of course not!
[02:25] Anastasia
    He's a piece of trash who would buy
    a woman's womb with money and power.
[02:28] Marie; Kyros
    T-Trash?
[02:29] Mio
    Lady Anastasia, why have you
    appeared now, after all this time?
[02:35] Anastasia
    B-Because...
[02:37] Kyros
    There seem to be some other
    circumstances at work here.
[02:40] Kyros
    I'll send word to Norman.
[02:42] Kyros
    For now, please come to the castle.
[02:45] Anastasia
    But I...
[02:49] Marie
    It's all right, Big Sister.

[02:58] Marie
    Now you're sparklingly clean, Sister!
[03:01] Anastasia
    Y-Yeah.
[03:05] Anastasia
    Is this your room, Marie?
[03:07] Anastasia
    It's lovely!
[03:09] Marie
    I'm sorry, Sister.
[03:11] Marie
    You must be tired.
[03:13] Marie
    We could talk tomorrow
    after you've slept a bit.
[03:16] Anastasia
    No.
[03:18] Anastasia
    I have a responsibility to talk about this.
[03:20] Anastasia
    I... want to apologize.
[03:25] Anastasia
    I've never been able to protect you, Marie.
[03:29] Marie
    Sister...
[03:32] Anastasia
    How far back should I go...
[03:37] Anastasia
    Back when you had a fever...
[03:41] Anastasia
    That night, when Grandmother
    Sasha scolded me...
[03:55] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    Grandmother?
[03:57] (Flashback) Sasha
    Marie has fallen asleep.
[03:59] (Flashback) Sasha
    Leave the rest to me.
[04:02] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    Yes.
[04:06] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    Languages from so many countries...
[04:09] (Flashback) Sasha
    That's because people from many
    countries have sent them.
[04:12] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    This is... Father's name, isn't it?
[04:16] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    Why are you signing it, Grandmother?
[04:18] (Flashback) Sasha
    Because everyone is born suited for
    some things and not for others.
[04:24] (Flashback) Anastasia
    That's true. Like me.
    I'm not smart like Marie.
[04:30] (Flashback) Sasha
    Anastasia.
[04:33] (Flashback) Sasha
    You possess an inventiveness
    that others do not.
[04:37] (Flashback) Sasha
    It's an ability that will not
    shine through academics alone.
[04:41] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    Grandmother!
[04:47] (Flashback) Sasha
    Despite appearances, Gregor performs
    marvelously on musical instruments.
[04:52] (Flashback) Sasha
    That path would have
    actually been the boy's—
[05:00] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    M-Mama! Papa!
[05:02] (Flashback) Sasha
    Don't call them here!
[05:03] (Flashback) young Anastasia
    B-But...
[05:07] (Flashback) Sasha
    It's already far too late.
[05:18] (Flashback) Sasha
    In our era, we could not
    choose how to live our lives.
[05:24] (Flashback) Sasha
    But the era you two will live
    through will be different.
[05:29] (Flashback) Sasha
    I hope that each of you will make use of
    your strengths and do work that you love.
[05:38] (Flashback) Sasha
    That is my only wish.
[05:52] (Flashback) Gregor
    My mother has passed away.
[05:55] (Flashback) Gregor
    What will happen to us?
[05:59] (Flashback) Gregor
    Marie!
[06:01] (Flashback) Gregor
    How much did you learn from my mother?
[06:03] (Flashback) Gregor
    Do you understand Flarian?
[06:05] (Flashback) young Marie
    I-I've only learned a little.
[06:13] (Flashback) Elvira
    She must have caught Marie's illness.
[06:18] (Flashback) Elvira
    Marie killed Lady Sasha!
[06:22] young Anastasia; narration
    It couldn't possibly have been Marie's fault.
[06:26] young Anastasia; narration
    But ever since that day, Mama has
    stopped seeing Marie as her daughter.
[06:33] (Flashback) Gregor
    Marie.
[06:36] (Flashback) Gregor
    Wouldn't you like to try attending school?
[06:38] (Flashback) Marie
    What?
[06:39] (Flashback) Gregor
    It's a town school,
[06:41] (Flashback) Gregor
    but I hear they teach the current
    usage of foreign languages there.
[06:44] (Flashback) Gregor
    You like to study, don't you?
[06:46] (Flashback) Marie
    Yes, I do... but won't it
    cost money for me to attend?
[06:51] (Flashback) Gregor
    It's all right. That's not something
    you need to worry about.
[06:55] (Flashback) Marie
    But the servants say they haven't received
    their wages for over two months.
[07:00] (Flashback) Gregor
    That's because there's no
    need to pay the incompetent.
[07:03] (Flashback) Marie
    But...
[07:04] (Flashback) Gregor
    I am the lord here. Will you defy me?
[07:08] (Flashback) Gregor
    You see? Women who get a taste of
    education are so quick to rebel.
[07:11] (Flashback) Gregor
    Entirely unendearing.
[07:13] (Flashback) Gregor
    That's right.
[07:16] (Flashback) Gregor
    You are a charmless, unlovely woman.
[07:20] (Flashback) Marie
    I am... not lovely.
[07:23] (Flashback) Gregor
    You are ugly and impudent.
[07:25] (Flashback) Gregor
    You'd never survive anywhere else.
[07:28] (Flashback) Gregor
    The least you could do is study and
     be useful to the lord of this region.
[07:32] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Papa!
[07:33] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Why would you say such awful things?
[07:36] (Flashback) Elvira
    Everything your father said is
    correct, my lovely Anastasia.
[07:43] (Flashback) Gregor
    Marie, you understand, don't you?
[07:46] (Flashback) Gregor
    You know that, though everyone loves
    Anastasia, you are not like her.
[07:52] (Flashback) Marie
    Yes.
[07:53] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Marie...
[07:55] (Flashback) Gregor
    Dismissing the servants will
    take care of your tuition.
[07:58] (Flashback) Gregor
    You will do the housework.
    And we'll sell your dresses, too.
[08:02] (Flashback) Marie
    Yes.
[08:03] (Flashback) Gregor
    Very good.
[08:05] (Flashback) Gregor
    If you obey me like this, it does
    grant you a tiny bit of charm.
[08:11] (Flashback) Marie
    Yes, Father.
[08:15] Anastasia; narration
    That day, Marie's life completely changed.
[08:19] Anastasia; narration
    She was made to work from
    dawn until deepest night.
[08:23] Anastasia; narration
    In the blink of an eye, Marie
    became tattered and ragged.
[08:33] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Mama, why do you treat Marie like that?
[08:38] (Flashback) Elvira
    What choice do I have?
[08:40] (Flashback) Elvira
    That unlucky, sinister red hair...
[08:43] (Flashback) Elvira
    Lady Sasha was cursed by that child and died.
[08:47] (Flashback) Anastasia
    What are you saying? What does
    Grandmother have to do with this?
[08:50] (Flashback) Elvira
    Ah, but then there's you, Anastasia.
[09:03] (Flashback) Elvira
    This beautiful blonde hair
    and those blue eyes...
[09:07] (Flashback) Elvira
    It's as if Lady Sasha has returned to us.
[09:10] (Flashback) Elvira
    It really is as if she's alive.
[09:14] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Mama... I'm alive.
[09:22] Anastasia; narration
    Marie was in rags, but she was
    allowed into the outside world,
[09:27] Anastasia; narration
    while I was like a doll,
    trapped inside the house.
[09:32] (Flashback) Gregor
    Confound it!
[09:33] (Flashback) Gregor
    Why aren't more significant
    figures proposing marriage?
[09:39] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Won't Marie be marrying anyone?
[09:43] (Flashback) Gregor
    What man would ever want
    to take her as his wife?
[09:46] (Flashback) Gregor
    But you're different.
[09:49] (Flashback) Gregor
    As a noble's daughter,
[09:50] (Flashback) Gregor
    you will fulfill the vital duty of
    marriage like a good girl, won't you?
[10:04] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Yes. It's wonderful!
[10:11] Anastasia; internal
    The truth is, I'd like to try
    opening up a shop in the capital.
[10:15] Anastasia; internal
    But...
[10:17] Anastasia; internal
    all that I'm permitted to do is
    be an obedient, beautiful doll.
[10:38] (Flashback) Jacob
    Crap! Where did she run off to?
[10:45] (Flashback) Jacob
    That stuck-up wench... she threw herself in!
[10:51] Anastasia; internal
    Looks like I tricked him!
[10:53] Anastasia; internal
    Moron! Take that!
[11:23] Anastasia; internal
    Anastasia threw herself
    into the river and died.
[11:49] (Flashback) Norman
    What are you doing?
[11:51] Anastasia; internal
    His eyes...
[11:56] (Flashback) Norman
    What's your name?
[11:58] (Flashback) Anastasia
    A-Ana...
[12:02] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Arthur! Got a problem with that?
[12:07] (Flashback) Norman
    This kid seems to have some spirit.
[12:09] (Flashback) Norman
    What happened? What are you
    doing in a place like this?
[12:12] (Flashback) Anastasia
    U-Um, well, I was...
[12:16] Anastasia; narration
    I made up a story then and there.
[12:18] Anastasia; narration
    I lied and said I'd been sold off.
[12:22] Anastasia; narration
    Old Man Norman said he'd let me
    stay at his house for a while.
[12:40] (Flashback) Anastasia
    C-Could it be... Do you make clothes here?
[12:44] (Flashback) Norman
    Yes. I am a button artisan, after all.
[12:47] (Flashback) Norman
    Though, I'm as good as retired now.
[12:50] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Are you serious, old man?
    Make me your apprentice!
[12:54] (Flashback) Norman
    What?
[12:55] (Flashback) Anastasia
    I like making clothes! See? I made these!
[13:02] (Flashback) Norman
    This is...
[13:04] (Flashback) Norman
    Yes, indeed. They're small
    for a man's clothes, but...
[13:09] (Flashback) Anastasia
    That's because they're for women to
    dress as men! It's a hobby of mine.
[13:13] (Flashback) Norman
    T-To dress as men?
[13:14] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Of course, I can make regular clothes, too.
[13:17] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Opening up a shop in the capital is my dream!
[13:20] (Flashback) Norman
    I don't take apprentices.
[13:24] (Flashback) Anastasia
    I don't have a home or anywhere else to go.
[13:28] (Flashback) Anastasia
    I'll take care of odd jobs or whatever else!
[13:30] (Flashback) Anastasia
    I want to be reborn here and
    make my dream come true!
[13:34] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Please!
[13:43] (Flashback) Norman
    You can stay here at my house.
[13:45] (Flashback) Norman
    As for my work...
    you'll have to watch and learn.
[13:51] Anastasia; narration
    Every day was like a dream.
[13:59] (Flashback) Luiphon
    Hey there, Norman. How have you been?
[14:02] (Flashback) Luiphon
    Sorry to cut straight to the point, but
    I'd like you to set this jewel in a ring.
[14:10] (Flashback) Norman
    This is an impressively high-quality gem.
[14:13] (Flashback) Luiphon
    The spelling for the engraving on the ring
    is written on the request form, but...
[14:18] (Flashback) Norman
    That won't be a problem. I'll have
    my apprentice read it to me later.
[14:23] (Flashback) Luiphon
    Oh, you've taken an apprentice?
    I guess the workshop is safe, then.
[14:33] (Flashback) Norman
    Arthur, this is a national treasure that
    Count Granado obtained through Prince Luiphon.
[14:39] (Flashback) Norman
    Since you're studying the craft,
    you should take a look, too.
[14:44] (Flashback) Anastasia
    It's beautiful.
[14:47] (Flashback) Norman
    I hear he's been searching for a striking
    red stone to match the color of his bride's hair.
[14:53] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Red hair?
[14:55] (Flashback) Norman
    This ring is intended for the younger sister
    of his betrothed, who died in an accident.

SIGN    Inscription: Marie
[15:03] Anastasia
    Marie?
[15:06] Anastasia; narration
    "The dream is over."
[15:09] Anastasia; narration
    Reality whispered those words into my ear.
[15:15] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Marie?
[15:17] (Flashback) young Marie
    Why?
[15:19] (Flashback) young Marie
    Why is my big sister the only
    one who gets to be happy?
[15:22] (Flashback) young Marie
    Why do I have to take her place?
[15:25] (Flashback) young Marie
    I will never forgive my
    sister for running away!
[15:31] (Flashback) Anastasia
    I'm sorry. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[15:40] (Flashback) Norman
    There's really no possible way?
[15:43] (Flashback) Anastasia
    No, I don't feel well.
[15:46] (Flashback) Norman
    The letter from the count said that
    I was to bring you along, didn't it?
[15:52] (Flashback) Norman
    All right. I'll apologize to the count.
[16:01] Anastasia; internal
    Because I don't know what I
    should do... my body won't move.
[16:06] Anastasia; internal
    I know that Marie must be suffering.
[16:10] Anastasia; internal
    I want to protect her, but...
[16:14] Anastasia; internal
    You are the one person I most want to
    be able to walk your own path in life.
[16:29] Anastasia; internal
    So this time, I will protect you!
[16:36] Anastasia; internal
    Please...
[16:38] Anastasia; internal
    Give me the courage...
[16:50] Marie
    And so you came to this castle...
[16:53] Anastasia
    Yes.
[16:59] Anastasia
    Marie, I'm sorry it took me so long.
[17:02] Anastasia
    From now on, I'll protect you.
[17:06] Marie
    Sister...
[17:10] Marie
    Yes? Come in.
[17:14] Kyros
    Have you just about finished?
[17:16] Marie
    Yes. Thank you for letting
    the two of us speak alone.
[17:25] Marie
    Sister, I'm happy you feel the way you do.
[17:28] Marie
    But...
[17:30] Marie
    You have it all wrong!
[17:32] Marie
    The two of us really are in love!
SIGN    Dazed...
[17:36] Anastasia
    What?
SIGN    What?
[17:37] Mio
    Master, why is your face
    that of a lovelorn maiden?
SIGN    Suspicious...
[17:40] Anastasia
    Marie, he's deceiving you.
[17:42] Kyros
    Why would you think that?
[17:44] Anastasia
    Because saying things is easy!
[17:46] Anastasia
    Especially for unscrupulous adults!
[17:48] Kyros
    It's unfathomable that
    you would doubt my love!
[17:51] Kyros
    If money and power could
    make things go as I wanted,
[17:54] Kyros
    I'd have abducted her the day I met her!
[17:55] Kyros
    I'd destroy the Shaderan family for hurting
    Marie and go off an a journey with her!
[18:00] Kyros
    From morning 'til night,
    I'd never let her go!
[18:02] Kyros
    If this isn't love, then why would I have
    bought a body pillow? You dunderhead!
SIGN    Marie is Life
SIGN    Repulsed...
[18:06] Anastasia
    I'm worried about this man
    in a different way now.
[18:10] Mio
    Master, I believe that will suffice.
    Everyone is thoroughly horrified.
[18:16] Kyros
    All of this began because I wrote the
    wrong name on my offer of marriage.
[18:20] Kyros
    I'm sorry.
[18:22] Anastasia
    What?
[18:23] Kyros
    But the love I feel for Marie is real.
[18:28] Kyros
    No matter what hardships
    may rain down upon us,
[18:30] Kyros
    I will spend my life protecting her.
[18:34] Kyros
    I want to become Marie's family.
[18:38] Anastasia; internal
    Even I understand the
    desire to treasure family.
[18:47] Anastasia
    Can you take responsibility for those words?
[18:50] Anastasia
    If you can't, I'll steal Marie back from you.
[18:55] Kyros
    Yes, I swear it.
[18:58] Kyros
    I swear that the two of
    us will find happiness.
[19:11] Anastasia
    Marie, you've been loved, as you should be.
[19:14] Anastasia
    You've been smiling here,
    in the place where you belong.
[19:17] Marie
    Yes!
[19:19] Anastasia
    That little girl I needed to
    save is gone now, isn't she?
[19:26] Marie
    Sister.
[19:38] Marie
    Everyone, thank you for
    gathering at my request.
[19:43] Anastasia
    Um...
[19:44] Marie
    The truth is, this is something I
    wanted my sister to hear as well.
[19:49] Anastasia
    Something you want me to hear?
[19:52] Marie
    It's about Father's crimes.
[19:56] Marie
    Sister, have you ever seen them?
[19:58] Marie
    The prose or letters that Grandmother
    or I wrote in Father's place...
[20:04] Anastasia
    Now that you mention it, I have seen them.
[20:07] Marie
    After hearing what you said, I was certain.
[20:11] Marie
    It isn't just the kingdom's tongue...
    Father can't use Flarian either.
[20:16] Anastasia
    What? Is that a crime?
[20:18] Marie
    Yes.
[20:20] Marie
    Since official documents are written and
    exchanged in Flarian, the language of the nobility,
[20:24] Marie
    managing territory and overseeing its
    people would be difficult without it.
[20:28] Marie
    But unlike when Grandmother was here,
    Father didn't notify the kingdom.
[20:33] Marie
    Instead, he simply had me
    write documents on his behalf.
[20:37] Marie
    Forgery of official documents and
    abandonment of his duties as lord...
[20:40] Marie
    Those are my father's crimes, aren't they?
[20:44] Liu Liu
    Exactly.
[20:46] Liu Liu
    As a noble, who oversees the welfare
    of his people, he has utterly failed.
[20:50] Mio
    His abuse of Lady Marie and the others
    shows his failure as a human being.
[20:55] Kyros
    The baron wanted to hide
    his own incompetence,
[20:58] Kyros
    so he set up Marie as his
    stand-in in an illegal manner.
[21:01] Kyros
    Then he used rags and
    tatters to chain Marie down
[21:04] Kyros
    and exploit her for
    the sake of his noble house.
[21:07] Marie
    I'm sorry.
[21:08] Marie
    I didn't know that doing a lord's work in their
    stead without the crown's permission was a crime.
[21:13] Kyros
    Even if you had known, you couldn't
    have refused in that situation.
[21:17] Kyros
    I've already checked and found that
    you bear no responsibility in this.
[21:21] Liu Liu
    We'll be sure to protect you!
[21:25] Kyros
    Marie, you have the right to decide what
    will happen to the House of Shaderan.
[21:33] Kyros
    Marie, please tell us what
    it is you wish to do.
[21:37] Marie; internal
    Until now, I've always run away.
[21:41] Marie; internal
    But now I've learned that my decisions can
    bring happiness and unhappiness to others.
[21:52] Marie
    I can't pretend not to see
    these things any longer.
[21:56] Marie
    I will face the truth and look
    upon it with my own eyes.
[21:58] Marie
    Please allow me to make my
    decision after I've done that.
[22:02] Kyros
    Understood.
[22:04] Anastasia
    Marie.
[22:06] Marie
    After all, I'm of the mind to hit
    my parents with one good wallop!
[22:12] Anastasia
    M-Marie?
[22:16] Liu Liu
    You've grown quite strong, haven't you?
[22:19] Marie
    Let's go...
[22:22] Marie
    to the House of Shaderan!
[23:58] Anastasia
    This is Anastasia.
[24:00] Anastasia
    Now that we sisters are together,
    there's only one thing for us to do, right?
[24:05] Anastasia
    Next time, "It's Time to Settle This."

    Let's go, Marie!
