[00:12] Mio     When I have other business to attend to,     these two will tend to your needs in my place. [00:18] Marie; internal     Someone like me is being given     attendants? Two of them? [00:21] Marie; internal     To be honest, I'm certain I'll     be too careful around them, [00:23] Marie; internal     but this is common practice     among the aristocracy. [00:29] Marie     My name is Marie Shaderan. [00:32] Marie     I look forward to your kind assistance. [00:37] Marie     U-Um... [00:40] Marie     Might the two of you be     from the royal capital? [00:43] Ilza     Yes. We are both born of knight's houses. [00:45] Ilza     We've come here at the     recommendation of the third prince. [00:48] Hannah     We've both served in the     royal palace, you see. [00:51] Marie     The royal palace? That's amazing! [00:54] Ilza     Still, stories of the royal capital for     a noble such as yourself, Lady Marie... [00:59] Hannah     They could hardly be novel     for you, could they? [01:03] Marie; internal     Wait... [01:06] Marie; internal     For some reason... [01:08] Mio     Lady Marie. [01:11] Mio     Perhaps you'd like your breakfast now. [01:13] Marie     Yes. SIGN    Episode 3 "A Life I Saw in a Dream, and a Dream-like Life" [02:50] Marie     I-Is this... [02:53] Mio     The appetizer is a charcuterie     assortment of seven items. [02:56] Mio     There is pork ham and sausage. [02:58] Mio     The terrine is pheasant. [02:59] Mio     The pâté de campagne is duck and venison. [03:04] Marie     Th-There are quite a lot of animals here. [03:07] Mio     We have prepared a number of     different dishes for you, [03:09] Mio     so please let me know which you prefer. [03:12] Marie     B-Both my palate and my stomach are lacking, [03:15] Marie     so I doubt I'll be     able to finish all of this. [03:17] Mio     You need only eat what you like. Please     leave anything you are unable to finish. [03:22] Marie     Oh, I couldn't! It would be such a waste! [03:24] Mio     Those are the master's orders. [03:26] Marie     Where is Lord Kyros now? [03:29] Mio     He is out on business. [03:31] Marie     Then, would you like half of— [03:33] Mio     A servant may not eat with their master. SIGN    There's nothing left for me to try. [03:37] Marie; internal     There's nothing left for me to try. [03:42] Marie     This is delicious! SIGN    This is delicious, too!

[03:58] Marie     No, it's all delicious,     so I still have some room. [04:01] Marie     Probably. SIGN    Fullness [04:04] Mio     Please don't try to exceed your limits. [04:09] Marie     I'm so sorry. Those poor     ingredients. And the chef, too. [04:15] Mio     After you've rested a little,     I will show you around the palace. [04:20] Mio     You may find a change of clothes here. [04:26] Marie     I-It's incredible. [04:28] Marie     A-A magnificent sight. [04:30] Marie     But I only have one body. [04:32] Mio     I am aware. [04:33] Mio     In addition to these, there are others befitting     other seasons, over a hundred prepared in total. [04:38] Marie     A hundred?! [04:40] Mio     Please choose what you like. [04:42] Marie     What? [04:43] Marie     Something... I like. [04:47] Mio     Is there nothing here? [04:49] Marie     No. [04:50] Marie     They're all so lovely, I don't     know what I should choose. [04:55] Mio     Then let's settle on this one. [04:57] Marie     What? [05:02] Mio     It suits you very well. [05:04] Marie     Thank you. [05:06] Mio     Then, shall we? [05:08] Mio     Granado Castle was built [05:10] Mio     to protect the kingdom's borders     from the front lines during the war. [05:13] Mio     The House of Granado, margraves at the     time, constructed it to be a fortress. [05:19] Marie     If I recall, House Granado has     ties to the royal family, don't they? [05:22] Mio     Yes, but after the war, they attained the rank     of duke and now simply govern their own lands. [05:27] Mio     They are not in the line of succession. [05:30] Mio     Now, then. [05:31] Mio     This castle is used only     for special functions. [05:34] Mio     Lady Marie, let me show you to     the manor house where you will be residing. [05:38] Marie     Manor house? [05:40] Mio     We'll go through this door. [05:54] Marie     It's lovely! [05:56] Mio     This manor house was built     by Duchess Liu Liu. [06:00] Mio     The first floor houses the kitchen, [06:02] Mio     and also serves as a residence     for live-in staff. [06:06] Mio     There are also private rooms     for the duchess' family, [06:08] Mio     and facilities for entertaining     important guests. [06:18] Marie     Excuse me, it's Mister Tomas, isn't it? [06:20] Marie     I'm so sorry for my father's     inexcusably rude behavior. [06:23] Tomas     My lady, how do you know my name? [06:26] Marie     I thought I heard someone call you by it. [06:28] Tomas     You're right! That's my name! [06:30] Tomas     That makes me sort of happy. [06:33] Marie     Allow me to introduce myself.     I'm Marie Shaderan. [06:37] Tomas     My name is Dibomov Tomas Tender. [06:40] Tomas     Please call me Tomas. [06:42] Marie     Dibomov? [06:43] Marie     Are you named for the hero Dibomov     who discovered Louhav Island? [06:47] Tomas     What? [06:47] Tomas     I'm amazed you know about     him! I'm from Louhav Island! [06:51] Tomas     My lady, you're incredibly knowledgeable! [06:57] Mio     Lady Marie is the master's fiancée. [07:00] Mio     Do not touch her without permission. [07:02] Tomas     I apologize... [07:05] Marie     The castle was lovely,     but this room is wonderful, too. [07:10] Mio     I'm glad you like it. [07:12] Marie     Speaking of which, does Lord Kyros conduct     business with countries all over the world? [07:16] Mio     No. Essentially, he only trades     with the Ipsandros Republic. [07:20] Marie     I wondered because I saw folk crafts from     other countries all around the manor house. [07:25] Mio     Those are the servants' personal items. SIGN    Nations of Bandelee SIGN    Flaria SIGN    Other Countries [07:27] Mio     The head chef is from Flaria. The gardener     is from the Nations of Bandelee. [07:31] Mio     We have many nationalities here. [07:32] Marie     There's Tomas, for one,     but it's quite a diverse group, isn't it? [07:36] Mio     The master is perverse. [07:39] Marie     What? [07:39] Mio     In this kingdom, prejudice     is a matter of course, [07:41] Mio     but the master hires promising     individuals regardless of origin. [07:45] Mio     Which is why everyone     here is devoted to him. [07:48] Marie     I see. Mio, are you from the royal capital? [07:52] Mio     I was an abandoned child. [07:53] Mio     I'm told that I was left at a roadside inn. [07:56] Marie     I-I'm sorry. [07:57] Mio     There's no need to apologize. [07:59] Mio     I've lived quite an enjoyable life. [08:02] Mio     When the master was little,     I used to comfort him. [08:05] Marie; internal     Wait. How old is Mio? [08:07] Mio     As you can see,     many of us have difficult backgrounds, [08:11] Mio     but Ilza and Hannah are worthy     of being your attendants. [08:16] Mio     Both of them possess the dignity of     nobles born here in this kingdom. [08:21] Marie; internal     I'd actually rather hear     stories of other countries. [08:24] Marie; internal     Folk songs about old heroes,     learned by heart... [08:27] Marie; internal     The call of an enormous bird with     rainbow-colored feathers... [08:31] Marie; internal     But... [08:32] Marie     Thank you for going to     so much trouble for me. [08:34] Marie     I'll learn as much as I can so that     I don't embarrass any of you. [08:46] Ilza     Your after-dinner tea. [08:50] Marie     M-May I have some milk? [08:54] Ilza     Milk? [08:55] Marie     I often add milk to my black tea. [08:58] Marie     What do you add to your tea? [09:01] Ilza     Milk in your black tea? [09:03] Hannah     Doesn't that ruin the flavor? [09:05] Marie     What? [09:06] Ilza     Putting cow's milk in tea?     What a novel way to drink it. [09:10] Ilza     It's the first I've ever heard of it. [09:13] Hannah     I'd expect nothing less of you, Lady Marie!     You're so free in your sensibilities. [09:18] Marie; internal     It shouldn't be an issue in terms     of aristocratic etiquette. [09:24] Marie; internal     Oh! Perhaps neither of them like milk! [09:27] Marie     I'm sorry. I don't think     I'll need any after all. [09:30] Marie     I'll drink it like this. Thank you. [09:42] Marie; internal     Today was a long day. [09:45] Marie; internal     I wonder if Lord Kyros is still     busy this late at night. [09:55] Kyros     I wonder if Marie is enjoying herself. [09:58] Wolfgang     Master, [10:00] Wolfgang     tomorrow, you have a traders meeting in the     morning, a lunch meeting in the afternoon, [10:03] Wolfgang     and following that, a market inspection. [10:06] Kyros     When will I be able to go home? SIGN    〜A few days later〜 SIGN    MUNCH [10:19] Marie; internal     Breakfast today is large, as usual, SIGN    MUNCH SIGN    MUNCH SIGN    MUNCH [10:21] Marie; internal     but the crisp juiciness of the     vegetables is so comforting. [10:25] Marie     Mio, where do you procure     these delicious vegetables? [10:29] Mio     They're from the vegetable     garden in the courtyard. [10:31] Marie     What?! There's a vegetable garden? [10:34] Mio     Yes. Johan works very hard at it. [10:38] Marie     I'd like to see the vegetable garden. [10:42] Mio     I'm sorry, but I must prepare     for the master's return. [10:47] Mio     Please take Ilza and Hannah with you. [10:49] Marie     I-I see. [10:51] Marie     I understand. [10:55] Marie; internal     I hope this opportunity helps me     to grow closer to both of them. [11:12] Marie     I had no idea such a beautiful     vegetable garden was so close! [11:19] Marie     Hello. [11:24] Marie     Mister Johan, isn't it? [11:26] Johan     Hello. I hope you are well, my lady. [11:30] Marie     E-Excuse me, but... [11:32] Marie     those are tomato seedlings, aren't they? [11:34] Marie     Are you getting ready to plant them? [11:37] Johan     Y-Yes. This year's seedlings     have grown quite well. [11:40] Marie     Yes, it is that time of year, isn't it? [11:43] Johan     My lady, could it be... [11:45] Johan     that you've grown vegetables yourself?! [11:48] Marie     Y-Yes! SIGN    Cheap [11:49] Marie     It's less expensive than buying them, SIGN    Salable [11:50] Marie     and if there's extra, they can be sold. SIGN    Delicious SIGN    Simple [11:52] Marie     For a house as poor as ours,     our garden was a lifeline. [11:56] Johan     I see. [11:57] Marie     But tomatoes are susceptible to bugs and     disease, so they were difficult to grow. [12:01] Marie     Oh, yes. How far apart should     the seedlings be spaced? [12:05] Johan     Come this way. You can leave     the seedlings where they are. [12:10] Marie     You're going to show me? Oh, I'm so happy! [12:17] Ilza     I don't believe it. She was     about to walk on the bare dirt. [12:20] Hannah     Perhaps she isn't aware that gardens are     meant to be looked at and not walked in. [12:25] Ilza     It's inconceivable. There are     bugs and that gardener in there. [12:28] Hannah     Wait, perhaps the lady likes that. [12:30] Ilza     Likes what? The bugs? The gardener? [12:33] Hannah     Oh, you! I meant the bugs, obviously. [12:35] Ilza     Of course. After all, no one     could possibly like that thing. [12:38] Marie; internal     How can they be so rude? [12:39] Marie; internal     I may be deserving of ridicule,     but Mr. Johan certainly isn't. [12:45] Marie     No, it isn't like that! [12:48] Marie     Wait! [12:53] Marie; internal     These beautiful shoes were     given to me by the count. [12:57] Marie; internal     I mustn't get these shoes dirty. [13:01] Marie; internal     I know that. [13:06] Ilza     Then, good night. [13:07] Marie     Yes, good night. [13:22] Marie; internal     For some reason, I can't sleep. [13:24] Marie; internal     Maybe I'll ask for some water. [13:29] Marie; internal     Someone is awake. [13:34] Kyros     Marie? [13:37] Kyros     What's wrong? Can't you sleep? [13:39] Marie     U-Um... [13:41] Kyros     I returned late, so I missed dinner. [13:44] Kyros     Marie, please have a seat. [13:48] Marie     P-Pardon the intrusion. [13:50] Kyros     It's been four days, hasn't it?     You've grown even more beautiful. [13:54] Marie     Not at all. I've been indulging myself     in the kindness of everyone here. [13:59] Kyros     Marie, you're always like this. [14:05] Marie; internal     My heart! [14:06] Mio     Apologies for the wait. [14:08] Kyros     Oh! Toppo, you're still awake? [14:11] Toppo     Welcome home, young sir. [14:13] Toppo     Stare. [14:15] Marie; internal     Let's see. I think Toppo is     the head chef, isn't he? [14:18] Toppo     You asked for something light, [14:20] Toppo     so this is chicken and cassava     in a salt-based soup. [14:23] Marie     Oh, it smells delicious! [14:25] Kyros     Toppo, give Marie a serving, too. [14:28] Toppo     Here you are. [14:29] Toppo     Though I'm not sure it will     suit your tastes, Lady Marie. [14:33] Marie; internal     I feel like he's being rather prickly. [14:37] Marie; internal     This is delicious! [14:38] Marie; internal     It's simple, but it has     such depth of flavor! [14:41] Kyros     Toppo's cooking is delicious, isn't it? [14:43] Marie     Yes, it truly is! The food here     is always so delicious, I... [14:50] Toppo     There's no need for polite flattery! [14:53] Marie     No, but I truly mean it! [14:55] Toppo     No matter what I try, you never,     ever finish all your food! I understand! [15:00] Toppo     It's because I, Toppo, lack the     skills! But the ingredients! [15:04] Toppo     The meat and fish and...     I just feel so sorry for them! [15:07] Marie     Th-This is a misunderstanding! I don't     leave the food because it tastes bad! [15:11] Toppo     What? [15:13] Marie     I felt badly for wasting     all those ingredients, too! [15:16] Marie     But... [15:19] Kyros     Mio, didn't you ask Marie what she liked? [15:22] Mio     Whether it's food or dresses, Lady Marie is     unable to say that she dislikes something. [15:27] Marie     N-No, all of it truly has been delicious! [15:30] Marie     There wasn't anything that I disliked! [15:32] Toppo     My lady, is that true? [15:33] Marie     It's true! I got full and couldn't     eat anymore, that's all! [15:38] Toppo     Then you were pleased with     the food? I'm so glad! [15:41] Marie     M-Mio, what should I do? [15:44] Mio     I'll go make some tea to end your meal. [15:46] Marie     What?! [15:47] Kyros     Marie, don't worry. [15:49] Kyros     Toppo is always quick to cry. [15:51] Marie     Is he? [15:53] Toppo     I, Toppo, had no idea that my     lady felt that way, and yet I... [15:59] Toppo     I will pull myself together     and bring your dessert! [16:06] Toppo     Now, here you are! [16:07] Kyros     It's incredible! [16:09] Marie     How many apples did it take? [16:11] Kyros; internal     The reason it didn't occur to Toppo [16:12] Toppo; background     I'll portion it out for you! [16:13] Kyros; internal     is that he doesn't understand that     others can't eat as much as him. [16:18] Kyros     Let's all eat it together, Toppo. [16:19] Toppo     What?! You wouldn't mind? [16:21] Kyros     Of course not. SIGN    Ended up     eating half [16:25] Toppo     Well then, I shall take my leave! [16:27] Toppo     A good night to you both! [16:30] Kyros     Yes. Thank you, Toppo. [16:32] Kyros     Please get some rest. [16:35] Kyros     I'm sorry, Marie. [16:37] Marie     What? [16:38] Kyros     I created a situation that forced you     to consider others first. [16:41] Kyros     Is there anything besides the     food that you've found trying? [16:44] Marie     Oh, no. Everything is so wonderful     it seems a shame to waste it on me. [16:48] Kyros     What about Ilza and Hannah? [16:52] Marie     They take good care of me. [16:54] Kyros     A friend of mine recommended them to me. [16:57] Kyros     You are a future duchess. [16:59] Kyros     I want you to be received in a     manner that befits that station. [17:02] Marie     Thank you. [17:04] Marie     They really are treating me well. [17:08] Kyros     Marie, your habit of enduring     unpleasantness is a dire one. [17:10] Marie     What? [17:13] Kyros     Just because someone is treating you well [17:15] Kyros     doesn't mean that you're     obliged to be happy about it. [17:17] Kyros     And if you aren't happy about     it, then you can just tell me. [17:23] Marie; internal     I don't have any preferences. [17:25] Marie; internal     No. I don't understand what     it means to pick what I like. [17:30] Marie; internal     I did the work that needed to be done     and accepted what was given to me. [17:33] Marie; internal     That was enough. [17:35] Marie; internal     It can't possibly be all right for     me to choose based on my feelings. [17:40] Marie     I'm sorry, Lord Kyros. I don't want to     squander a single one of your kindnesses. [17:46] Kyros     Marie, if you lack for something, tell me. [17:50] Kyros     I will give you everything you want. [17:57] Marie     Something I lack? [17:59] Marie; internal     There shouldn't be anything, and yet... [18:02] Mio     Pardon me for interrupting     your conversation. [18:05] Kyros     Oh! I see you've brought     something very nice! [18:09] Marie; internal     Something nice? [18:14] Mio     Then please relax and enjoy. SIGN    Piled High [18:17] Marie; internal     It's so big! Is that Mio's late-night snack? [18:20] Kyros     Marie. [18:22] Kyros     Do you know what this is? [18:23] Marie     N-No. It's the first time I've seen one. [18:27] Kyros     It's called a çaydanlik, and it's     used to make tea in Ipsandros. [18:31] Kyros     First, you light the bottom     section to boil the water. [18:34] Kyros     The heat of the water rises upwards, [18:36] Kyros     slowly steaming the tea leaves     and bringing out their flavor. [18:40] Kyros     When the time is right, you pour hot water     from the bottom pot into the top pot, [18:44] Kyros     then place the pots back in their     original positions and wait. [18:48] Kyros     When the tea is ready, [18:49] Kyros     you use the remaining hot     water to dilute it to taste. [18:52] Marie     So everyone can adjust it to     their preferred strength! SIGN    Tea is Ready [18:55] Kyros     Everyone gathers around the     pot, waiting for it to brew. [18:59] Kyros     They ask each other's preferences     and grow closer to one another. [19:03] Kyros     So then, Marie... [19:06] Kyros     please tell me about yourself. [19:08] Marie     O-Of course. [19:10] Marie; internal     Tell him about me. [19:12] Marie; internal     But what should I tell him? [19:14] Marie; internal     I've never experienced     anything fun in my life! [19:18] (Flashback) young Anastasia     Marie! Marie! [19:20] (Flashback) young Anastasia     What do you want to play? [19:22] (Flashback) young Marie     I want to play... [19:25] Marie     Word-chains! [19:26] Marie     Lord Kyros, let's play word-chains! SIGN    Stunned [19:28] Kyros     Word-chains? [19:30] Marie; internal     Why would someone in his exalted     position play word-chains?! SIGN    Count SIGN    24 years old SIGN    Ultra Wealthy [19:33] Marie; internal     What a childish thing to think     of. I'm so embarrassed! [19:37] Kyros     In order to enjoy a game     of word-chains at our age, [19:39] Kyros     we'll need to add a little something. [19:41] Kyros     Let's focus on areas where      our knowledge overlaps. [19:45] Marie     What? I-In that case, what about     things you like, Lord Kyros? [19:48] Kyros     All right. It's limited     to things that we like! [19:51] Kyros     Is it all right if I start? [19:52] Marie     O-Of course! [19:53] Kyros     Then here I go! [19:55] Kyros     Marie! [19:56] Marie     Wha— [19:57] Marie     Don't you usually start with "A"? [20:00] Kyros     In that case, apple pie! [20:02] Marie     "E"... Something I like... [20:08] Marie     Exciting Ipsandrian stories! [20:10] Kyros     You said the same thing     that night, didn't you? [20:15] Marie     I did! [20:17] Kyros     You should visit the     castle library sometime. [20:19] Kyros     I'm certain it's full of     things you'll love, Marie. [20:22] Marie     Yes, I will. Thank you. [20:24] Kyros     Next is the "s" from "stories." "S"... [20:28] Kyros     Sweet ricotta cheese! [20:29] Marie     "E"... Early zucchini! [20:31] Kyros     Iconic gnocchi!

[20:57] Kyros     What about you, Marie?     You're only listing agricultural goods! [21:00] Marie     What? W-Well... [21:02] Marie     Vegetables grow large very     quickly, so they're economical, [21:05] Marie     and they're delicious in many recipes. [21:08] Kyros     That's so like you, Marie. [21:09] Marie     Honestly. [21:10] Kyros     Sorry. I'm sorry. Forgive me. [21:11] Kyros     Come on. Next is "K." [21:13] Marie; internal     Something I like that starts with "K"... [21:17] Marie     Kyros. [21:22] Kyros     I feel like I heard something     that ends in "S." [21:25] Marie     I-I said, "kiss." [21:29] Kyros     I see. I see. So, Marie, you like kisses. [21:33] Marie; internal     Oh, that isn't what I meant! [21:35] Kyros     Hmm. But "S" again, is it? [21:38] Kyros     Souvenirs by area! [21:40] Marie     Aromatherapy!

[21:53] Mio     is cold, isn't it? SIGN    Oh. [22:06] Kyros     It's no good.      It's bitter because it's over-brewed. [22:08] Kyros     Let's sweeten and mask     the flavor with milk and sugar. [22:14] Mio     I don't believe the two of you     require any further sweetness. [22:20] Kyros     Mio! [22:22] Marie     She's already gone! [23:58] Mio     Lady Marie doesn't believe the     master feels the way he does. [24:02] Mio     She doesn't feel she can truly     settle into life at the castle. [24:07] Mio     But I think I understand a     little of how she feels. [24:11] Mio     After all, I was once     in a similar situation. [24:17] Mio     Next Time, "I've Found the Things I Like". SIGN    Episode 4 "I've Found the Things I Like." [24:24] Mio     You know what will happen to you     if you don't watch, don't you?
