[00:01] Kyros; internal
    I took one look... and I couldn't speak.
[00:14] Kyros; internal
    Polished, she was so beautiful
    it was as if she'd been reborn.
[00:19] Kyros; internal
    Her melancholy eyes sparkled like stars.
[00:29] Kyros
    So beautiful.
[00:34] Mio
    Stop running from reality.
[00:37] Mio
    Lady Marie refused your proposal, Master.
[00:41] (Flashback) Marie
    I... I can't do this!
[00:46] Kyros
    Don't thrust reality at me, Mio.
[00:49] Kyros
    You're always, always so cruel!
[00:51] Mio
    This is my duty.
[00:54] Mio
    Still, who would have imagined that you'd mistakenly propose to the wrong sister.
[00:59] Kyros
    Well, how could I have known?
[01:02] Kyros
    That night, it was Marie's birthday.
[01:05] Kyros
    The girl sitting alone in the darkness...
[01:09] Kyros
    Who would think that she
    was the star of the party?
[02:44] Kyros; narration
    My father, Duke Alfred
    Granado, had two wives.

[02:49] (Flashback) young Mio
    If the cat lay around like
    trash, it became trash.
[02:53] (Flashback) young Mio
    If the trash cried, "meow,"
    then it became a cat.
[02:56] (Flashback) young Mio
    And then, with me, it—
[02:57] Laura
    Stop playing games!
[03:01] (Flashback) Laura
    Don't you understand your position here?
[03:03] (Flashback) Laura
    Know your place!
[03:08] Kyros; narration
    The daughter of a noble family equal to the
    duke's, my father Alfred's official wife,
[03:13] Kyros; narration
    Lady Laura.
[03:19] Kyros; narration
    And an Ipsandrian traveling performer
    he took as his concubine,
[03:23] Kyros; narration
    my mother, Liu Liu.
[03:50] (Flashback) Laura
    I thought I heard a commotion.
[03:52] (Flashback) Laura
    Here. Eat this and be quiet.
[04:00] (Flashback) Laura
    That's something I baked.
[04:02] (Flashback) Laura
    You're quite trusting to eat it, aren't you?
[04:05] (Flashback) young Kyros
    That's because it's really yummy!
[04:08] (Flashback) young Kyros
    I love it!
[04:12] (Flashback) Laura
    Do you? And what else do you like?
[04:15] (Flashback) young Kyros
    Let's see. Cake and cream
    puffs and chocolate cookies!
[04:21] (Flashback) young Kyros
    I love sweets!
[04:23] (Flashback) Laura
    I like sweets, too.
[04:25] (Flashback) Laura
    When I make sweets, I don't have
    to think about unpleasant things.
[04:36] (Flashback) Laura
    Next time, I'll make some
    chocolate cookies for you.
[04:41] (Flashback) young Kyros
    All right!
[04:49] (Flashback) Alfred
    It is true that Laura is my official wife,
[04:52] (Flashback) Alfred
    but all the children she has
    borne me have been girls.
[04:56] (Flashback) Alfred
    Which is why the one to
    inherit my dukedom...
[05:00] (Flashback) Alfred
    will be Kyros.
[05:17] (Flashback) Laura's daughter A
    No!
[05:26] (Flashback) Laura's daughter B
    Open your eyes! Mother!
[05:32] (Flashback) Laura's daughter C
    Why? Why would you take poison?
[05:36] Kyros; narration
    Why had the woman who had
    been so kind to me...
[05:39] Kyros; narration
    chosen death of her own free will?
[05:48] Kyros; narration
    After Liu Liu was elevated to
    the position of official wife,
[05:51] Kyros; narration
    she said that she was no more than a
    concubine and left the duke, taking me with her.
[05:57] Kyros; internal
    And I, in order to survive in this land,
[06:00] Kyros; internal
    attained the status of count
    through my own efforts.
[06:06] Kyros; internal
    But I hate gatherings of high society,
[06:10] Kyros; internal
    and I evaded any talk of
    marriage to noble daughters.
[06:23] (Flashback) Luiphon
    Hey there, my friend!
[06:27] (Flashback) Luiphon
    So you've finally shown your face.
[06:31] (Flashback) Kyros
    If you invite me, then I have no choice.
[06:33] (Flashback) Luiphon
    Did you receive one as well?
    An invitation from a rural baron.
[06:38] (Flashback) Kyros
    Luiphon, you got one, too?
[06:40] (Flashback) Luiphon
    It seems that they must have sent one to every
    bachelor who is wealthy or from the great houses.
[06:45] (Flashback) Luiphon
    Baron Shaderan's family's troubles with
    money are well-known among the aristocracy.
[06:51] (Flashback) Luiphon
    It's blatantly clear that this birthday
    party is a pretext for marketing his daughter.
[06:56] (Flashback) Kyros
    Honestly. It's despicable.
[06:59] (Flashback) Luiphon
    But according to rumors,
    she is quite the beauty.
[07:03] (Flashback) Luiphon
    I have a fiancée, so I
    couldn't possibly go,
[07:06] (Flashback) Luiphon
    but Kyros, why don't you attend?
[07:08] (Flashback) Kyros
    Not interested.
[07:11] (Flashback) woman A
    Count Granado?
[07:14] (Flashback) woman A
    You're welcome to these if you'd like.
[07:21] (Flashback) Kyros
    Yes, thank you.
[07:33] (Flashback) Luiphon
    The ladies do like you, don't they?
[07:35] (Flashback) Kyros
    They like me? All they see
    is my title and my money.
[07:39] (Flashback) Kyros
    Deep down, those women
    all despise my heritage.
[07:43] (Flashback) Luiphon
    Well, the average noble daughter detests
    Ipsandros as a land of barbarians, you know?
[07:49] (Flashback) ladies
    He's so wonderful.
[07:51] (Flashback) ladies
    But the color of his skin...
[07:52] (Flashback) ladies
    You know about his mother.
[07:57] (Flashback) Luiphon
    I understand how you feel,
[07:59] (Flashback) Luiphon
    but you can't remain a bachelor forever, can you?
[08:03] (Flashback) Luiphon
    You are a count and the
    only son of a ducal house.
[08:07] (Flashback) Luiphon
    If you stay single, there won't be
    anyone to carry on the duke's line.
[08:11] (Flashback) Kyros
    I know.
[08:16] (Flashback) Luiphon
    What sort of lady will be
    able to win your heart?
[08:20] (Flashback) Luiphon
    I greatly look forward to finding out.
[08:23] (Flashback) Kyros
    As if such a day would ever come.
[08:32] Kyros; internal
    No, he's right.
[08:34] Kyros; internal
    The daughter of an impoverished
    baron might be just right.
[08:40] Kyros; internal
    And if it's only to be a
    marriage of convenience,
[08:43] Kyros; internal
    then someone easy to manage would be best.
[08:50] Kyros; internal
    Love...
[08:53] Kyros; internal
    That's something I never need to feel.
[09:01] Kyros; internal
    At least, that's what I thought.
[09:04] (Flashback) Marie
    Personally, I love stories from Ipsandros.
[09:10] Kyros; internal
    And yet, I've fallen in love with her.
[09:13] Kyros; internal
    I wanted to speak with her more,
    but she slipped through my fingers.
[09:25] (Flashback) nobleman
    By the way, I was wondering if this year—
[09:27] (Flashback) Kyros
    Apologies. Are you Baron Shaderan?
[09:30] (Flashback) Kyros
    Where is your daughter?
[09:31] (Flashback) Gregor
    The star of the night is right over there!
[09:34] (Flashback) Gregor
    Please! Take our daughter as your bride!
[09:38] (Flashback) Elvira
    Oh, my dear! You've had too much to drink!
[09:40] Gregor; background
    No, I haven't!
[09:41] Kyros; internal
    I was told that the House of Shaderan
[09:43] Kyros; internal
    has the elder daughter Anastasia
    and the younger Marie.
[09:47] Kyros; internal
    "The star of the night"?
[09:49] Kyros; internal
    If she's Marie, the younger
    sister whose birthday it is,
[09:52] Kyros; internal
    then the one I met was the
    older sister, Anastasia!
[09:57] Kyros; narration
    I searched for her everywhere.
[10:09] Kyros; narration
    But no matter how hard I looked...
[10:15] Kyros; narration
    I couldn't find her.
[10:21] Kyros; narration
    I decided to send a letter.
[10:23] Kyros; narration
    I wanted not the younger sister Marie,
[10:25] Kyros; narration
    but the older sister Anastasia as my wife.
[10:28] (Flashback) Kyros
    Excellent! A reply has arrived!
[10:31] Kyros; narration
    After that, I became incredibly busy.
[10:34] Kyros; narration
    To offer my fiancée the finest hospitality,
[10:36] Kyros; narration
    I arranged for dresses,
    jewels, and new servants.
SIGN    Anastasia 
    Is
     Life
[10:40] Kyros; narration
    I even acquired a body pillow to
    hold through my sleepless nights.
[10:51] Kyros; narration
    But...
[11:06] (Flashback) Kyros
    The carriage... fell?
[11:14] Kyros; narration
    And then, amid my heartbreak and despair...
[11:18] Kyros; narration
    the woman I'd thought bore
    the name Anastasia arrived.
[11:22] Kyros; narration
    Marie Shaderan.
[11:25] Mio
    Honestly, Master, you are such a fool.
[11:29] Mio
    Though, my own knowledge
    was lacking as well.
[11:34] Kyros
    And now... I've been rejected?
[11:36] Mio
    Accepting the truth as truth
    is a wonderful thing, indeed.
[11:40] Kyros
    Mio, couldn't you be a little
    less... direct about this?
[11:44] Mio
    Well then, Master, can you explain this?
[11:47] Mio
    You turned away and silently
    shunned Lady Marie's new look.
[11:51] Mio
    Also, saying, "Send Marie
    Shaderan away" wasn't optimal.
[11:56] Mio
    Master, I am certain that Lady
    Marie believes that you hate her.
[12:01] Kyros
    If I clear up that misunderstanding, do you
    think she will happily become my wife?
[12:06] Mio
    I do not know.
[12:09] Mio
    But for now, just give it your best.
[12:11] Mio
    After all, Master, you are the one
    who feels a one-sided love here.
[12:15] Kyros
    Yes, you're right.
[12:18] Kyros
    Let's go and see Marie.
[12:22] Kyros
    What I want to see...
[12:24] Kyros
    is her smile!
[12:30] Marie; internal
    Worn out, tattered clothing.
[12:33] Marie; internal
    My well-thumbed, beloved book.
[12:36] Marie; internal
    That is all that this world has
    bestowed upon me, and yet...
[12:45] Marie; internal
    Who is this?
[12:50] Marie
    Yes? Come in.
[12:54] Marie; internal
    Mio... and Lord Kyros?
[12:58] Marie
    I-I am so sorry for the
    rudeness I displayed earlier!
[13:02] Kyros
    Rudeness? What are you talking about?
[13:05] Marie
    It was all so sudden that I lost
    my composure. I am truly sorry.
[13:08] Kyros
    No, I'm the one who should apologize.
[13:11] Kyros
    Please lift your head.
[13:25] Kyros
    I-It seems that a huge
    misunderstanding lies between us.
[13:30] Kyros
    First of all, I don't hate you, Marie.
[13:34] Kyros
    Second, I had thought that you'd come
    to this palace of your own free will.
[13:39] Kyros
    I'm sorry for making such an assumption.
[13:42] Kyros
    I truly do want to welcome you as my wife.
[13:45] Marie
    Of course. Thank you for having me.
[13:48] Kyros
    What?
[13:49] Marie
    What?
[13:51] Marie
    Wh-When I said that I couldn't be betrothed to
    you, it was only because I was so shocked.
[13:56] Kyros
    R-Really?
[13:58] Marie
    Yes. I have no intention of refusing you.
[14:01] Marie
    I have a general understanding of
    your situation, your lordship.
[14:06] Marie
    To inherit the title of duke, you
    must marry a woman of noble birth.
[14:11] Marie
    However, finding a bride has been difficult.
[14:14] Kyros
    What you're saying is true, but...
[14:16] Marie
    If it weren't, then someone of your standing,
    sir, would never attend a poor baron's party.
[14:22] Marie
    There, as your potential partner in a
    marriage of convenience, you fell for my sister,
[14:27] Marie
    the beautiful Anastasia.
[14:35] Marie
    I-I shouldn't have said all that!
[14:37] Marie
    I'm so terribly sorry.
[14:39] Marie
    Due to the accident, I, the useless
    younger sister, have come to you,
[14:42] Marie
    but I assure you, I know my place.
[14:45] Marie
    Your Lordship, please treat me in
    whatever manner serves you best.
[14:49] Kyros
    Wait! Please, just wait!
[14:52] Kyros
    It's true that I had a political marriage
    in mind when I went to that party.
[14:56] Kyros
    But that night, my feelings changed!
[14:59] Kyros
    That letter was no facade.
    I meant every word!
[15:02] Marie
    Yes, I know. Your feelings for Anastasia
    were conveyed quite clearly.
[15:07] Kyros
    No! That's where you have it wrong!
[15:10] Marie; internal
    This doesn't make any sense.
[15:17] Mio
    Both of you, it is time for dinner.
[15:20] Mio
    I believe it would be best if you
    continued your discussion as you eat.

[15:26] Kyros
    Yes, you're right. I'm so hungry
    I feel like I'm about to die.
[15:39] Marie; internal
    Everything is delicious!
[15:41] Marie; internal
    This is incomparably better than our meals!
[15:46] Kyros
    Marie.
[15:47] Kyros
    This will be no marriage of convenience.
[15:50] Kyros
    The proposal letter that
    I sent to Anastasia...
[15:53] Kyros
    I simply got her name confused with yours,
    the lady I met in the garden that night.
[15:58] Kyros
    The one I want to marry is you, Marie.
[16:03] Marie
    I'm honored.
[16:04] Kyros
    You don't believe me, do you?
[16:06] Marie
    Lord Kyros, you are a kind person.
[16:09] Marie
    There's no need to be so
    careful of my feelings.
[16:11] Kyros
    I knew you didn't believe me.
[16:15] Marie; internal
    For anyone born into
    nobility, marriage is a duty.
[16:18] Marie; internal
    It's the same for Lord Kyros.
[16:21] Marie; internal
    No, his responsibilities and
    mine can't be compared.
[16:25] Marie; internal
    I'm certain that he'll take a concubine.
[16:27] Marie; internal
    I may end up wearing tattered
    clothes and working again.
[16:34] Marie; internal
    But I don't mind.
[16:36] Marie; internal
    Life will be much the same
    as it always has been.
[16:39] Marie
    Um, is there anything else?
[16:45] Kyros
    I love you, Marie.
[16:51] Marie; internal
    Love?!
[16:52] Marie; internal
    Who is in love? With whom?
[16:56] Marie; internal
    This makes the least sense of all!
[17:05] Kyros
    Whatever the case,
    we agree on our betrothal.
[17:09] Kyros
    The engagement ceremony
    will be in three months.
[17:11] Kyros
    I'll arrange for everything.
[17:13] Kyros
    You don't have to worry about a thing.
[17:14] Marie
    Of course. I understand.
[17:17] Kyros
    I hope you will enjoy your
    life here in the meantime.
[17:20] Marie
    P-Pardon me!
[17:21] Marie
    Just once, I would like to go back home.
[17:24] Kyros
    To the Shaderan house? Why?
[17:26] Marie
    My father didn't think that the
    betrothal would come to pass.
[17:31] Marie
    I was to serve as your
    comfort for one night.
[17:33] Marie
    After forming a bond with you,
     he was insistent that
[17:35] Marie
    I be kicked out and return to him.
[17:38] Mio
    What?!
[17:39] Marie
    I-I never imagined this turn of events either,
    so I must return home to receive instructions.
[17:47] Kyros
    Mio.
[17:48] Mio
    Of course.
[17:48] Mio
    Lady Marie, if you would wait just a moment.
[17:56] Marie; internal
    H-Have I done something
    disrespectful toward them?
[18:00] Marie; internal
    No, all I've been is disrespectful.
[18:07] Mio
    I am afraid to say, Lady Marie,
[18:09] Mio
    that you are forbidden to return
    to your parents' house.
[18:13] Marie
    Wh-Why?
[18:14] Mio
    The master's orders.
[18:17] Mio
    Should Lord or Lady Shaderan come to visit,
[18:19] Mio
    we ask that you receive the master's
    permission before meeting them.
[18:27] Mio
    Lady Marie, may I ask you something?
[18:32] Mio
    Why are you under the impression
    that you are ugly?
[18:38] Marie
    B-Because my mother and father...
[18:42] Marie
    My hair is covered in balls
    of lint. I have freckles.
[18:45] Marie
    They always showed me my tattered,
    raggedy self in the mirror.
[18:55] Mio
    If you'll permit me to say, Lady Marie,
[18:58] Mio
    of those things you just mentioned,
    the only thing here is the mirror.
[19:01] Mio
    Please, look into it as much as you like.
[19:07] Marie; internal
    Look into the mirror?
[19:09] Marie; internal
    And what will happen if I do?
[19:18] Marie; internal
    After all, the real me isn't this
    person I've never seen before.
[19:28] Marie; internal
    It doesn't feel real at all.
[19:33] Marie
    Wh-What is this?!
[19:36] Marie
    It's so fluffy and warm!
[19:40] Marie; internal
    It's like the world in a fairytale.
[19:44] Marie; internal
    A magnificent, white-walled palace.
[19:46] Marie; internal
    Beautiful, glittering clothes.
[19:49] Marie; internal
    Wonderful lady attendants.
[19:51] Marie; internal
    And... a count with beautiful green eyes.
[19:56] Marie; internal
    It really is...
[19:58] Marie; internal
    like a dream.
[20:08] Marie; internal
    That's right.
[20:10] Marie; internal
    I'm certain that when I wake,
    the spell will be broken,
[20:13] Marie; internal
    and all that will be left
    is me in my tatters.
[20:18] (Flashback) Kyros
    I love you, Marie.
[20:24] Marie
    I'm so embarrassed! Having a
    dream like this is just...
[20:32] Marie
    But if it is a dream,
    I don't want to wake up yet.
[20:37] Marie
    After all...
[20:39] Marie; internal
    If this is a dream, then it's
    all right for me to feel happy.
[21:00] Marie
    I had such a strange dream last night.
[21:04] Marie
    Now, I have to light the fire in the stove,
    wake everyone in the family, and...
[21:09] Marie
    Wait.
[21:16] Marie
    Oh. I'm still dreaming, aren't I?
[21:20] Marie
    Then it wouldn't hurt
    to enjoy this a little more.
[21:26] Mio
    Lady Marie?
[21:27] Mio
    Are you awake?
[21:29] Marie
    Y-Yes, I'm awake!
[21:31] Mio
    Please pardon the intrusion.
[21:38] Mio
    Good morning, Lady Marie.
[21:40] Marie
    G-G...
[21:41] Marie
    Good morning!
[21:43] Mio
    What are you doing, Lady Marie?
[21:46] Marie
    Y-You were kind enough to bow so politely
    to me that I had to bow even lower.
[21:52] Mio
    Why? Please, be at your ease here.
[21:58] Marie
    Um, who are these ladies?
[22:02] Mio
    Lady Marie, you have officially
    become the master's fiancée.
[22:05] Mio
    From now on, we three will
    look after your daily needs.
[22:10] Mio
    Allow me to introduce you.
[22:15] Mio
    They are Hannah and Ilza.
[22:18] Ilza
    My name is Ilza.
[22:20] Hannah
    My name is Hannah.
[23:59] Kyros
    Oh, Marie.
[24:01] Kyros
    Why won't you believe my feelings for you?
[24:05] Kyros
    True, it's my fault for getting you and
    your sister's names mixed up, but...
[24:10] Kyros
    If there's anything you
    lack, I'll give it to you!
[24:13] Kyros
    So, please... open your heart
    to me, just a little.
