[00:07] Marie; internal
    I am a replacement for my older
    sister, Anastasia, who passed away.
[00:13] Marie; internal
    I came here for the purpose
    of a political marriage...
[00:17] Marie; internal
    as no more than a mock fiancée, and yet...
[00:21] (Flashback) Kyros
    Please tell me about yourself.
[00:27] Marie
    Things... I like.
SIGN    Marie
    is
    Life
[02:03] Kyros
    Oh, Marie...
[02:06] Mio
    Master.
SIGN    Episode 4 "I've Found the Things I Like"
[02:09] Kyros
    Mio, if you're here, please say something!
[02:11] Mio
    I just did.
[02:13] Mio
    Seeing Marie after four days
    apart, what did you think?
[02:17] Kyros
    I love her!
[02:18] Mio
    Not what I meant.
[02:19] Kyros
    She's grown even more beautiful!
[02:23] Mio
    Five days ago,
[02:25] Mio
    you said to provide Lady Marie with our utmost
    hospitality, and everything she truly deserves.
[02:30] Mio
    You did say that, correct?
[02:32] Kyros
    Yes.
[02:33] Kyros
    Her treatment in the baron's
    household was clearly wretched.
[02:37] Kyros
    Marie believes herself to be
    ugly and unworthy of love.
[02:43] Kyros
    So I want to give her every luxury she
    desires so that she can build some confidence.
[02:47] Kyros
    I want her to know that
    she is worthy of that.
[02:50] Mio
    No matter how many luxuries
    you may pile before her,
[02:53] Mio
    Lady Marie will likely avoid them.
[02:55] Kyros
    What?
[02:57] Mio
    Master.
[02:59] Mio
    I am an abandoned child, but I was lucky
    enough to be taken in by Lady Liu Liu.
[03:04] Mio
    I was elevated to the position of
    head chamberlain of Granado Castle,
[03:08] Mio
    a position far above my
    station, by you, master.
[03:11] Mio
    For that, I owe you an
    immense debt of gratitude.
[03:14] Kyros
    What is all of this? It isn't like you.
[03:18] Mio
    It is because of this that I can
    understand a little of Lady Marie's feelings.
[03:23] Mio
    What it's like to go from a life of oppression
    to becoming a resident in a gleaming castle...
[03:28] Mio
    and the fear that creates.
[03:30] Mio
    The sudden appearance
    of a charming prince...
[03:33] Mio
    all the dresses and
    shoes, bestowed upon her...
[03:35] Mio
    She wonders if it's all some ephemeral
    magic, that will one day suddenly disappear.
[03:41] Kyros
    It won't disappear.
[03:43] Kyros
    Marie is beautiful and intelligent.
[03:46] Kyros
    Mio, you're a brilliant head chamberlain,
[03:49] Kyros
    and Liu Liu thinks of you
    as her own daughter.
[03:55] Kyros
    That isn't magic, it's reality.
[04:00] Mio
    Yes, you're right.
[04:02] Mio
    Master, you are exactly as you should be.
[04:04] Mio
    Please continue believing in the truth
     of these commonplace things.
[04:10] Kyros
    Are you being sarcastic?
[04:12] Mio
    Not at all. I'm complimenting you
    from the bottom of my heart.
[04:18] Kyros
    Tomorrow, I'll have to leave
    the castle on business again.
[04:22] Kyros
    I want you to use your discretion to
    ensure that Marie is comfortable here.
[04:27] Mio
    May I also review issues
    pertaining to personnel?
[04:30] Kyros
    You may.
[04:32] Mio
    Those are the words I've waited for.
[04:34] Kyros
    Still...
[04:36] Kyros
    Is it all right for Marie
    to be that adorable?
[04:40] Mio
    What?
[04:41] Kyros
    She's so elegant dressed up,
    but splendid in lounge wear, too.
[04:45] Mio
    Will this take long?
[04:47] Kyros
    Smart and well-read, yet so naïve.
[04:50] Kyros
    She stirs my protective instincts!
[04:52] Kyros
    She's a good listener and fun to talk to.
[04:54] Kyros
    She's brimming with a sparkling curiosity!
[04:56] Kyros
    Her smiling face and laugh have
    the impact of a ballista strike!
[04:58] Kyros; background
    Her figure makes everything look stunning.
[04:59] Mio
    You're speaking incredibly quickly.
[05:01] Kyros
    We're talking about those
    looks with that personality!
[05:03] Kyros
    The synergy increases her
    adorableness a hundredfold!
[05:06] Mio
    Master, I don't think you're in
    a position to speak of others.
[05:08] Kyros
    Huh?
[05:11] Mio
    Please go to sleep now.
[05:13] Mio
    If you don't, you'll regret it tomorrow.
SIGN    Marie is Life
[05:17] Kyros
    I can't sleep.
[05:20] Mio
    Now, then. I've received permission
    to redirect personnel.
[05:24] Mio
    I should take action as soon as possible.
[05:34] Mio
    Is this an appropriate quantity?
[05:36] Marie
    Yes! I will be able to finish all of this.
[05:42] Marie
    That was delicious!
[05:45] Mio
    Please allow me to join you.
[05:47] Marie
    What? You don't mind?
[05:49] Mio
    While you are dining, I have
    my work as your server,
[05:52] Mio
    but I can accompany you for tea.
[05:54] Marie
    I'm so happy!
[05:55] Marie
    Mio, I've been wanting to have
    tea with you for so long!
[05:58] Marie
    Oh!
[06:00] Marie
    Mio, if you're here, does that mean
    that Lord Kyros has already left?
[06:07] Mio
    No, we've switched assignments.
[06:10] Mio
    Ilza and Hannah are serving the master.
[06:13] Mio
    I thought that might be best for everyone.
[06:16] Marie
    I see...
[06:18] Marie; internal
    She's right. I'm certain they'll be happier
    if they're able to serve real nobility.
[06:26] Marie
    Come in!
[06:27] Toppo
    My lady! I, Toppo, have brought
    my latest delicious experiment!
[06:30] Toppo
    Would you like some?
[06:31] Marie
    I would!
[06:35] Marie
    A white... pudding?
[06:37] Toppo
    It's a blancmange made with
    almond flour and fresh milk!
[06:42] Toppo
    Miss Mio, you should have some, too.
[06:46] Marie
    Oh, it's so jiggly!
[06:51] Toppo
    Delicious!
[06:53] Toppo
    Toppo's food really is
    the best in the world!
[06:56] Toppo
    I must hurry and make enough
    for everyone in the castle!
[06:58] Toppo
    I, Toppo, will take my leave now!
[07:00] Marie
    Wait!
[07:03] Marie
    It's just that Ilza and Hannah
    may not like milk very much.
[07:07] Mio
    I haven't heard anything about that.
[07:10] Marie
    But when I asked for milk for my tea,
[07:12] Marie
    they said that was a novel way to drink it.
[07:16] Mio
    What?
[07:17] Marie
    It must be that they don't like milk.
[07:20] Marie
    Would it be possible to make
    those without using milk?
[07:22] Toppo
    Understood, my lady! I will give it a try!
[07:25] Marie
    Thank you, Toppo!
[07:29] Mio
    Lady Marie, you are...
[07:39] Marie
    I'm sure that Ilza and Hannah will
    be shocked at how delicious it is.
[07:43] Tomas
    Oh! My lady!
[07:49] Tomas
    I was just on my way to your room.
[07:51] Mio
    Tomas, what is that?
[07:53] Tomas
    It arrived for my lady.
[07:55] Tomas
    It's from her family, the
    house of Baron Shaderan.
[07:59] Mio
    Tomas! Why did you bring that here?!
[08:08] Tomas
    B-But the master said that anything
    from the House of Shaderan
[08:12] Tomas
    should be given to the lady if
    her attendants said it was okay.
[08:15] Mio
    If you know that, then why?
[08:17] Mio
    I haven't inspected that!
[08:18] Tomas
    What? But Miss Hannah and Miss Ilza looked
    it over and said to take it to the lady.
[08:30] Marie; internal
    These are, without a doubt, my things.
[08:35] Elvira
    Congratulations on your engagement.
[08:37] Elvira
    You left behind some essential items
    for your work in the count's household.
[08:52] Marie; internal
    "The Story of the Raggedy Red Cat."
[08:55] Marie; internal
    The thread in the binding has
    been frail for a while,
[08:58] Marie; internal
    but I'm certain that I
    put it away carefully.
[09:00] Tomas
    I-I'm sorry! I've done
    something awful, haven't I?
[09:03] Ilza
    What are you doing? Hey, let me go!
[09:06] Hannah
    Release me immediately!
[09:08] Ilza
    Hey!
[09:09] Ilza
    That hurt.
[09:10] Hannah
    How dare you?! You're just a maid!
[09:13] Mio
    And so are the two of you.
[09:14] Ilza
    What?! We served the third prince
    in the palace, you know?
[09:18] Hannah
    Prince Luiphon recommended us
     to Granado Castle personally!
[09:22] Mio
    And I am the head of the servants
    here at Granado Castle.
[09:25] Ilza
    You're just some old-timer.
[09:27] Hannah
    You were just demoted to serving
    the daughter of a destitute baron.
[09:30] Mio
    And I was the one who
    arranged for that transfer.
[09:33] Hannah
    Don't talk down to me.
[09:35] Ilza
    Actually, it's well known, isn't it?
[09:37] Ilza
    The countess is a barbarian,
[09:38] Ilza
    and a former prostitute, who set up her
    child with a client as a maid here.
[09:41] Hannah
    What? I thought the child was an orphan,
    abandoned on the side of the road at birth.
[09:46] Ilza
    She lacks a surname.
[09:47] Ilza
    It's hilarious to think she's
    serving in a count's castle!
[09:54] Mio
    I see. So you truly are imbeciles.
[09:56] Ilza
    What did you just say?
[10:06] Mio
    Now, it's your turn.
[10:09] Hannah
    No!
[10:13] Mio
    My deepest apologies. This is all due
    to my ineptitude as a supervisor.
[10:18] Marie
    It's all right. More importantly,
    may I borrow some scissors and thread?
[10:27] Marie
    Johan!
[10:29] Johan
    My lady!
[10:30] Johan
    Y-Your clothes...
[10:34] Marie
    I remade some of my old clothes.
[10:36] Marie
    You said you'd show me around
    the garden, didn't you?
[10:39] Marie
    Getting these a bit dirty is fine.
    
[10:42] Johan
    Is that all?
[10:44] Johan
    There were plenty of servants' shoes
     I could have offered you.
[10:47] Marie
    Oh! Yes, we could have done that!
[10:51] Johan
    Well, no matter.
[11:06] Marie; internal
    I've realized it for the first time.
[11:08] Marie; internal
    The things I like...
[11:10] Marie; internal
    I always thought I was doing
    everything for my family,
[11:13] Marie; internal
    but the truth is all the
    hard labor felt like nothing...
[11:16] Marie; internal
    because of how much I love
    growing delicious vegetables.
[11:21] Marie; internal
    I really do have things I like
    and things I want to do.
[11:26] Johan
    I'm sorry I was brusque
    toward you before now.
[11:29] Johan
    I thought that I shouldn't cause trouble for
    you, the count's lady, by speaking to you.
[11:34] Marie
    Trouble?
[11:35] Johan
    I am a servant. And I'm a foreigner.
[11:39] Marie
    That doesn't matter.
[11:42] Marie
    We're living in the same house.
    That makes us family, doesn't it?
[11:50] Marie
    I-I haven't officially become his fiancée
    yet, but everyone here seems like a family.
[11:57] Johan
    You say the same things as the master does.
[12:00] Marie
    As Lord Kyros?
[12:01] Tomas
    My lady!
[12:03] Tomas
    The master is leaving!
[12:08] Marie
    Lord Kyros!
[12:13] Kyros
    Oh, Marie.
[12:15] Mio
    The master stayed up all
    night, so he's rather exhausted.
SIGN    Last Night
[12:16] Kyros; background
    Oh, Marie! I love you, Marie!
[12:19] Marie
    My, he truly is busy, isn't he?
[12:22] Mio
    More importantly, master, if you will be
    visiting the palace for an evening party...
[12:25] Ilza
    Let us go!
[12:26] Hannah
    Stay away, you filthy servant!
[12:28] Ilza; background
    You're filthy and you stink!
[12:29] Mio
    please return that dead
    weight to Prince Luiphon.
[12:32] Hannah
    D-Did you just call us dead weight?
    We're here at his recommendation!
[12:36] Ilza
    That's right! He said that one
    day, we'd be his concubines.
[12:40] Hannah
    All of this...
[12:41] Ilza
    ...is your fault!
[12:43] Ilza
    You're just the daughter of a
    broke baron lured by money!
[12:47] Ilza
    You're no more than your
    dead sister's replacement!
[12:49] Hannah
    Everyone knows Shaderan's youngest
     daughter is a losing prospect.
[12:53] Hannah
    And it's the count who will be a
    laughingstock for pulling the short straw!
[12:56] Marie; internal
    Lord Kyros... a laughingstock?
[12:59] Ilza
    You need to learn your place!
[13:01] Hannah
    Ugly wench!
[13:03] Kyros
    What part of her?
[13:06] Kyros
    Try saying that again.
[13:08] Kyros
    What part of my family,
    of Marie, do you find ugly?
[13:11] Hannah
    No, it's just...
[13:14] Kyros
    And all this talk of noble
    houses and money...
[13:17] Kyros
    those aren't things that
    belong to you, are they?
[13:19] Kyros
    Are either of you more beautiful than
    Marie? More honorable? More clever?
[13:24] Kyros
    Cuter? Are you any of those things?
[13:26] Kyros
    What about you could I possibly love?
[13:30] Kyros
    Please, tell me.
[13:32] Kyros
    Because I can't find a single thing.
[13:42] Kyros
    Take them away.
[13:44] Tomas
    Yes, sir!
[13:47] Marie
    I'm so sorry.
[13:49] Kyros
    For what?
[13:51] Marie
    They said I'm the reason
    they'll laugh at you, Lord Kyros.
[14:02] Kyros
    Marie.
[14:06] Kyros
    You are beautiful.
[14:09] Kyros
    There's nothing here to laugh at.
[14:11] Kyros
    Your beautiful red hair,
    set off so well by this green...
[14:14] Kyros
    Your eyes that shine like stars...
[14:16] Kyros
    Your overflowing knowledge and curiosity...
[14:19] Kyros
    Your innocent smile when you
    speak of things you love...
[14:24] Kyros
    Altogether beautiful.
[14:33] Mio
    Ahem.
[14:35] Mio
    Master, we are out of time.
[14:39] Mio
    We can wait another few seconds,
[14:41] Mio
    but I'm certain that wouldn't suffice.
[14:43] Kyros
    What? Y-Yes.
[14:49] Tunika
    Oh, the poor master.
    And just when he was so close.
[14:52] Tunika
    I only came for herbs to
    use in some treatments,
[14:56] Tunika
    but I managed to witness
    something very nice.
[14:59] Tunika
    Don't you agree?
[15:00] Johan
    Do you think the oregano
    I grew was useful?
SIGN    They saw
    everything...
[15:08] Marie; narration
    I was told that Lord Kyros was going
    to the royal palace for a ceremony,
[15:11] Marie; narration
    and that he would be away for ten days.
[15:13] Marie; narration
    When he returned,
[15:14] Kyros; background
    Marie! I will return soon!
[15:14] Marie; narration
    we would begin arrangements
    for our betrothal ceremony in earnest.
[15:23] Marie; internal
    There's nothing here to laugh at.
[15:26] Marie; internal
    That's what Lord Kyros said, but...
[15:32] Marie
    This is...
[15:35] Marie
    It isn't meant to be a threat, is it?
[15:37] Mio
    No, it isn't. It's written as an invitation.
[15:41] Marie
    "Lady Marie Shaderan,"
[15:43] Marie
    "I wish to congratulate you upon your
    betrothal to my old friend Count Kyros Granado."
[15:50] Mio
    It's normal up to that point.
[15:52] Marie
    "As such, we have planned a special
    event utilizing our means and efforts."
[15:58] Marie
    "Notice has been spread throughout the royal
    capital, and the people eagerly await the day."
[16:05] Marie
    "Lady Marie, should you be unable to attend,
    everything will have been for naught."
[16:10] Marie
    "The people will despair, and their
    distress shall surely span generations."
[16:14] Marie
    "Please, you simply must attend."
[16:18] Mio
    It certainly does sound like a threat.
[16:21] Marie
    This gentleman is a prince, isn't he?
[16:24] Mio
    Yes.
[16:25] Mio
    He is the third prince and the
    captain of the Royal Knights.
[16:30] Mio
    He has quite an open-hearted personality.
[16:34] Mio
    The fact that this arrived
    on the eve of the event
[16:36] Mio
    shows that he expects you to attend.
[16:47] Marie
    Wh-What is this?
[16:49] Mio
    A chariot from the Royal Knights.
[17:32] Marie
    A-And this is...
[17:34] Mio
    A military fortress for the Kingdom of Diltz,
    the stronghold of the Royal Knights.
[17:39] Marie
    A-Am I going to be publicly executed?
[17:42] Mio
    Please calm down.
[17:44] Marie
    B-But why the fortress?
[17:47] Marie
    I could have been with
    Lord Kyros if it were the palace.
[17:49] Mio
    Prince Luiphon is the one who
    recommended Hannah and Ilza.
[17:53] Mio
    He must want to apologize.
SIGN    Returned Goods
[17:57] Marie; internal
    That only increases my fear of an execution.
[18:02] Marie
    Is something wrong?
[18:03] Mio
    If Prince Luiphon is the host, he likely
    has some amusing plans in place.
[18:07] Marie
    Plans?
[18:09] Mio
    Monster scares...
[18:11] Mio
    A rain of onions from above...
[18:13] Mio
    Or perhaps a pool full of jelly...
[18:16] Marie
    Just what sort of person is Prince Luiphon?
[18:18] Mio
    Well, he is not a villain.
[18:20] Mio
    Since we're here, I believe
    we should enjoy the fun.
[18:36] Marie
    It's all so lively.
[18:38] Mio
    It's been fifty years since the
    war. The world is at peace.
[18:42] Mio
    This sort of excitement
    is good entertainment.
[18:45] Mio
    Please have one.
[18:46] Marie
    Th-Thank you.
SIGN    When did she buy this?
[18:48] Marie
    First, I should go and greet
    Prince Luiphon, right?
[18:51] Mio
    No, he probably isn't waiting
    for a greeting from you.
[18:55] Mio
    It's possible that he hasn't
    even come here at all.
[18:58] Marie
    What? So, I'm meant to simply
    enjoy the festivities and leave?
[19:02] Mio
    Who can say? I don't understand what goes
    on in Prince Luiphon's head at all.
[19:09] Marie; internal
    I feel like Mio is a little
    harsh towards the prince.
[19:18] Marie
    I wonder, does this feel like a small
    event for someone of the royal family?
[19:22] Mio
    No, events on this scale are fairly rare.
[19:26] Mio
    What concerns me...
[19:30] Mio
    is that not a single rumor of it
    reached us at Granado Castle.
[19:34] Mio
    If Prince Luiphon issued a gag order before
    executing these arrangements, then...
[19:40] Mio
    I have a bad feeling about this.
[19:43] Marie
    M-Mio?
[19:45] Mio
    Prince Luiphon!
[19:48] Marie
    Where? What does he look like?
[19:50] Mio
    Down on the left by the stone wall.
[19:52] Mio
    Silver hair, wearing a
    knight's military uniform.
[19:55] Marie
    Mio, how can you see so well?
[19:57] Mio
    I will go and check. Lady Marie,
    please wait for me here.
[20:00] Marie
    I-I'll go with you!
[20:02] Mio
    It may be that he's made one of his
    men dress as him to lure us out...
[20:06] Mio
    as part of a plan to suddenly
    appear and scare you, Lady Marie.
[20:10] Marie
    What?
[20:11] Mio
    Don't move from this spot until I return.
