SIGN    Episode 7 "You're So Close, I Think You May Make Me Dizzy"
[00:07] Mio
    Two months ago,
[00:09] Mio
    Lady Anastasia got into a carriage
    rented by Baron Shaderan
[00:13] Mio
    and headed for Granado Castle.
[00:20] Mio
    For a few days, she traveled in peace,
[00:24] Mio
    then we're told that near the royal
    capital, she was set upon by bandits.
[00:30] Mio
    While Lady Anastasia was
    desperately trying to escape...
[00:35] Mio
    she fell into the river, which
    had swollen with the rain.
[00:39] Mio
    The driver tried to rescue her,
[00:41] Mio
    but wounds inflicted by the
    bandits made it impossible.
[00:44] Mio
    The carriage was destroyed,
    and everything it carried was stolen.
[00:49] Mio
    This summary of the incident is
    based on the driver's testimony
[00:52] Mio
    and the police investigation.
[00:55] Mio
    Lady Anastasia's body hasn't been found,
[00:58] Mio
    but they believe the chance
    of her survival is dismal.
[01:00] Tomas
    But the letter from her little brother...
[01:03] Tomas
    "Elder sister is already home."
[01:07] Tomas
    If Miss Anastasia is alive,
[01:10] Tomas
    won't Lady Marie try to distance
    herself from Lord Kyros?
[01:13] Mio
    The master's love for her is good and true.
[01:17] Mio
    Which means that it is necessary
    for someone to play the villain.
[01:21] Tomas
    Y-You don't mean that you'll do
    something to Miss Anastasia...
[01:25] Mio
    No.
[01:26] Mio
    The master has forbidden me
    from using violent methods.
[01:29] Mio
    I won't do anything extreme.
    Well, not overly so.
[01:31] Tomas
    Wh-What does "not overly so"
    mean? Can I just go home now?
[01:35] Mio
    "Companions enrich a journey"
    is a favorite proverb of mine.
[01:40] Mio
    Besides...
[01:41] Mio
    it's possible that more than just
    snakes will dart from the underbrush.
[03:17] Marie; narration
    A few days after Mio left...
[03:24] Kyros
    Marie, starting today, I'll be your
    attendant. I look forward to serving.
[03:27] Marie
    What?
[03:29] Kyros
    Oh. As you might expect, the maid
    uniforms aren't sized to fit me.
[03:33] Marie
    Th-That wasn't my concern.
[03:35] Kyros
    A lady's maid is relied upon in an
    emotional sense as well, right?
[03:39] Marie
    Well...
[03:40] Marie
    We do spend a lot of time together, so
    it is easy to feel rather close to them.
[03:45] Kyros
    That's it.
[03:46] Kyros
    Marie, I want to become the
    person you get along with best.
[03:49] Kyros
    That's why I decided to
    become your attendant.
[03:55] Marie; internal
    His eyes are so clear.
[04:02] Kyros
    What do you think? Well done
    for my first time, isn't it?
[04:06] Marie
    Y-Yes. Thank you.
[04:09] Kyros
    All right. Next is your dress, correct?
[04:12] Marie; internal
    What? He can't mean that he'll dress me!
[04:14] Marie; internal
    I couldn't endure that! I'll die!
[04:17] Kyros
    What do you say? If you don't have
    a particular one in mind, I'll—
[04:20] Cillie
    You broke your promise!
[04:24] Cillie
    I said I'd dress her, didn't I?!
[04:26] Kyros
    Th-That's no reason to come flying at me!
[04:28] Cillie
    Master, you just want to touch
    Marie, don't you? You lecher!
[04:33] Wolfgang
    Cillie has been quite disrespectful.
[04:36] Wolfgang
    However, Master, the closeness
    that makes you happy
[04:38] Wolfgang
    seems to be a level of closeness
    that makes Lady Marie nervous.
[04:42] Wolfgang
    One should temper one's eagerness.
SIGN    The Next Day
[04:50] Kyros
    Marie, let's go on a date!
[04:54] Marie
    What?
[04:56] Kyros
    This morning, a letter arrived from Luiphon.
[04:59] Kyros
    He writes, "I've prepared a tremendous gift
    for you, so please come to the royal capital."
SIGN    Third Prince
[05:04] Kyros
    Though, knowing him,
    I wouldn't expect too much.
[05:08] Kyros
    And so...
[05:10] Kyros
    Will you go out with me? Just the two of us?
[05:16] Marie
    Yes!
[05:28] Kyros
    Those kind of clothes are
    nice, too. You look lovely.
[05:30] Marie
    Thank you, Lord Kyros.
    You look wonderful as well.
[05:34] Kyros
    Thank you.
[05:36] Kyros
    But if you talk like that,
    people will find out who I am.
[05:39] Kyros
    Call me just "Kyros," with no title.
[05:42] Marie
    What? What?!
[05:43] Kyros
    There's still time before our
    appointment with Luiphon.
[05:46] Myros
    Let's go look around at everything first.
[05:51] Kyros
    If we get separated or lost, then this rare
    chance at a date will be ruined, right?
[06:02] Marie
    Th-Then, shall—
[06:05] Marie
    Let's go, Kyros.
[06:15] Tomas
    This is where Lady Marie is from?
[06:18] Mio
    In the Shaderan lands, aside from
    largely wheat-based farming,
[06:21] Mio
    raising cattle makes up the
    majority of the industry.
[06:24] Tomas
    Really? I'd heard they were poor,
    so I imagined a small, dried-up village.
[06:30] Mio
    It's good land.
[06:31] Mio
    However, after the war, taxes were
    levied according to a region's size,
[06:36] Mio
    so they've had to continue
    cultivating large swathes of land.
[06:39] Mio
    Maintaining the land and rotation
    of use is a lord's job,
[06:43] Mio
    but it doesn't appear to be done well here.
[06:52] Tomas
    Um, where are we?
[06:54] Mio
    Lady Marie's old school.
[06:56] Tomas
    What?
[06:59] receptionist
    I haven't seen you before.
    Are you a new student?
[07:03] Mio
    Well, I came from the royal capital
    to learn about farming, you see.
[07:08] Mio
    And I was thinking that I'd like
    to ask the students here about it.
[07:11] Mio
    Are there any girls here?
[07:13] receptionist
    Well, up until last year, the daughter of
    Baron Shaderan attended our school, but now...
[07:18] Mio
    Oh my! A baron's daughter?
    I couldn't possibly!
[07:22] Mio
    Isn't there anyone who's graduated
    that I could speak to more casually?
[07:25] receptionist
    I believe the daughter of the
    local innkeeper also attended,
[07:29] receptionist
    but she found work in the royal
    capital, and withdrew mid-term.
[07:32] receptionist
    I think her name was Karina.
[07:35] Mio
    That serves my purposes quite nicely.
[07:40] Mrs. Burton
    Yes? May I ask who you are?
[07:42] Mio
    You are Karina Burton's mother, correct?
[07:45] Mio
    I am a detective from the capital.
[07:47] Mio
    The truth is, your daughter may have
    gotten caught up in a certain incident.
[07:52] Mrs. Burton
    What?!
[07:53] Mio
    I need to check your daughter's student
    identification from when she attended school.
[07:58] Mio
    If possible, I'd like to
    borrow it for a while.
[08:02] Tomas
    Th-There should be limits to this nonsense.
[08:06] Mio
    I didn't lie.
[08:08] Mio
    Unlike the police, being a detective is a
    job where calling yourself one makes you one.
[08:11] Tomas
    But you talked about some kind of incident.
[08:14] Mio
    A baron's daughter, thought to have died
    in an accident, may still be alive.
[08:17] Mio
    That's quite the incident, isn't it?
[08:19] Mio
    And the possibility that Karina
    Burton is involved isn't zero.
[08:22] Tomas
    You're being reckless, Miss Mio.
[08:26] Mio
    Please don't worry.
[08:27] Mio
    The big lies begin now.
[08:30] Tomas
    No! You're scaring me!
[08:35] Mio
    The Shaderan residence is just over there.
[08:37] Mio
    Please be careful not to
    expose your background.
[08:40] Tomas
    Um, shouldn't we discuss
    this before we do it?
[08:43] Mio
    Please adapt as we go.
[08:47] Tomas
    I'll just keep quiet the whole time.
[08:53] Tomas
    This is an impressive mansion!
[08:56] Mio
    Yes, it is. However, it isn't
    being managed very well.
[09:01] Mio
    It wasn't this bad previously, but...
[09:09] Tomas
    Miss Mio?!
[09:11] Tania
    Hey! Who are you?
[09:14] Tania
    If you're tradesmen, go around the back!
[09:16] Tania
    You aren't debt collectors, are you?
[09:19] Mio
    I'm Karina! This is my fiancé, Henry!
[09:23] Mio
    This is my friend's house, and when we
    arrived, the gate was open, so we came in!
[09:26] Mio
    Sorry!
[09:27] Tania
    What?
[09:28] Mio
    I just told you! I'm dear Marie's friend!
[09:32] Tania
    A friend? Of that raggedy girl?
[09:36] Mio
    I met Marie in the capital! We went to
    the same school, so we became friends.
[09:41] Tania
    It's true, that girl is supposedly
    at the capital right now.
[09:45] Mio
    When I said I'd be visiting home,
[09:47] Mio
    she asked me if I'd come and
    pick up something she'd wanted.
[09:51] Mio
    Miss, will you let me
    into dear Marie's room?
[09:59] Tania
    Make sure you leave as soon as you're done.
[10:10] Tania
    This is it.
[10:14] Tania
    That girl was never good at the basics.
[10:17] Tania
    Cooking and cleaning took her so
    long she never really finished,
[10:21] Tania
    so she started sleeping here.
[10:23] Mio
    Why did Marie have to work so hard?
[10:27] Tania
    Because she wasn't the least bit cute.
[10:29] Tania
    A woman with no prospect
    of marriage has to work.
[10:33] Mio
    Then, when did she stop being cute?
[10:36] Tania
    She's been like that since she was born!
[10:39] Tania
    Compared with Lady Anastasia, she's
    impertinent and completely unlovable.
[10:43] Tania
    Her grandmother, Lady Sasha, was the one
    person who showed her some affection.
[10:48] Mio
    Sasha...
[10:51] Cedric
    Big Sis Marie?!
[10:55] Cedric
    H-Huh?
[10:56] Gregor
    Cedric!
[10:57] Gregor
    What are you doing?
[11:02] Gregor
    Who are you two?
[11:05] Tomas; internal
    Baron Shaderan.
[11:07] Mio
    Pleased to meet you! I'm Karina Burton!
[11:10] Mio
    Dear Marie is my friend!
[11:16] Gregor
    I now understand what brought
    the two of you here, but...
[11:21] Gregor
    That Tania! She loves her jokes!
[11:24] Gregor
    This is a storage shed, isn't it?
[11:26] Gregor
    It couldn't possibly be
    my darling Marie's room.
[11:30] Tania
    What?
[11:31] Gregor
    I'll show you to the mansion.
[11:33] Gregor
    Cedric!
[11:34] Gregor
    You go back to your room
    and continue your studies!
[11:37] Cedric
    Y-Yes, sir.
[11:39] Gregor
    This is the first time a friend
    of Marie's has visited us.
[11:44] Gregor
    She's a bookworm, and so shy.
    Don't you find her a bit gloomy?
[11:48] Mio
    What? Marie is so cheerful and
    kind, everyone loves her!
[11:54] Gregor
    I see. As her father,
    I'm happy to hear that.
[11:57] Gregor
    By the way, what is it that
    you've come to pick up?
[12:02] Mio
    It's something precious to
    a girl, so it's a secret.
[12:05] Mio
    She asked me to look for it.
[12:10] Gregor
    Go right in. This is Marie's room.
[12:15] Tomas; internal
    What? So she did have a
    proper room after all!
[12:18] Mio
    Oh, are you playing tricks on us too, Baron?
[12:20] Mio
    This is her sister's room, isn't it?
[12:25] Gregor
    What makes you think that?
[12:26] Mio
    Dear Marie loves to study.
[12:28] Mio
    It'd be odd if her room didn't
    have bookshelves in it!
[12:31] Gregor
    That's...
[12:33] Mio
    Now, stop playing silly
    pranks. You can't trick me.
[12:40] Gregor
    Sorry about that! I really will
    show you the way this time!
[12:45] Gregor
    Here. This is Marie's room.
[12:47] Gregor
    I'll leave, so search as much as you like.
[12:55] Tomas
    Is this really Lady Marie's room?
[13:01] Tomas
    What?
[13:02] Tomas
    Wait! What are you doing?
[13:05] Mio
    Shh! Quiet.
[13:06] Elvira
    Really? I'm so glad to hear it.
[13:10] Mio
    The wife's room seems
    to be next to this one.
[13:12] Tomas
    But...
[13:14] Elvira
    That's so true, Anastasia.
[13:23] Gregor
    My dear guests, I'm so sorry!
[13:26] Gregor
    We're supposed to go out
    as a family, you see.
[13:29] Gregor
    Can I ask you to leave for today?
[13:31] Mio
    Oh, really? Well then,
    we'll excuse ourselves here.
[13:37] Gregor
    Oh, and when you get back,
    could you tell Marie something for me?
[13:40] Gregor
    If there's something she wants, she
    should come back and get it herself.
[13:44] Mio
    That's so true! But dear Marie seems so busy.
[13:48] Mio
    After all, there's only a month left until
    her betrothal ceremony to the count!
[13:52] Gregor
    That may be true...
[13:54] Gregor
    but if the ceremony hasn't happened,
    then she isn't engaged.
[13:57] Gregor
    That girl still belongs to me,
    and I'm not letting anyone steal her.
[14:02] Mio
    Then, Marie must be very important to you.
[14:07] Gregor
    I suppose so.
[14:08] Elvira
    Oh my.
[14:10] Elvira
    We have guests? I'll go and
    prepare some tea right away.
[14:14] Gregor
    No, they were just leaving.
    And we're all going out.
[14:18] Elvira
    Really? Then if you'll wait just a moment...
[14:22] Tomas; internal
    That's Lady Marie's mother?
[14:25] Elvira
    Mama's going out now.
[14:28] Elvira
    Be a good girl and wait,
    won't you, Anastasia?
[14:39] Gregor
    Well, enjoy your visit home.
[14:42] Mio
    I will! If you'll excuse us.
[14:48] Tomas
    I broke out in a cold sweat.
[14:50] Mio
    We'll wait a bit, then return to the mansion.
[14:53] Tomas
    What?!
[14:58] Tomas
    Ow.
[15:00] Mio
    We're lucky that they didn't lock up.
[15:02] Mio
    Now, come before the maid notices.
[15:07] Tomas
    M-Miss Mio, you are a maid, aren't you?
[15:09] Mio
    I am, without question, a maid. Why?
[15:21] Mio
    So you did survive... Lady Anastasia.
[15:41] Tomas
    A-A doll?
[15:52] Tomas
    Do you think that the shock of losing Miss
    Anastasia drove Baroness Elvira insane?
[15:59] Mio
    No, she's sane.
[16:01] Mio
    She understands that it's just a doll.
[16:05] Mio
    It was made very recently.
    Most likely by the baroness herself.
[16:10] Tomas
    But it looks so much like a real person.
[16:13] Mio
    Well, the hair was real human hair.
[16:16] Tomas
    Human hair?!
[16:17] Mio
    And the dress, too.
[16:19] Mio
    Using the police
    investigations as reference,
[16:21] Mio
    there's no doubt she was wearing
     that dress during the accident.
[16:25] Tomas
    W-Wait. Miss Anastasia fell into the
    river and her body wasn't found, right?
[16:31] Tomas
    Then how did her hair and clothes...
[16:33] Mio
    Indeed. There are inconsistencies with the
    events of the accident as we know them.
[16:38] Mio
    And if that's the case...
[16:41] Mio
    Please return us immediately.
    There is someone I must meet with.
[16:45] Tomas
    Do you mean...
[16:47] Mio
    The driver of the hired carriage... is lying.
[16:57] Marie
    Delicious!
[16:58] Marie
    So these are the flavors of Ipsandros.
[17:01] Kyros
    I often came here while I was a student.
[17:03] Kyros
    The food in the dormitory
    was all too refined.
[17:06] Marie
    You attended the Royal Academy just
    like Prince Luiphon, didn't you?
[17:09] Kyros
    Yes.
[17:10] Kyros
    From the age of twelve to the age of
    eighteen, I attended and learned many things.
[17:14] Marie; internal
    What a strange sort of feeling.
[17:17] Marie; internal
    Lord Kyros was a young child once, too.
[17:21] Kyros
    All right. For dessert, we'll have dondurma!
[17:24] Marie
    Dondurma? In Ipsian, that means
    "a frozen thing," doesn't it?
[17:29] stall owner
    Here you go!
[17:33] stall owner
    There you go! Enjoy!
[17:36] Marie
    Th-Thank you.
[17:39] Marie
    What?
[17:40] Marie
    What?
[17:41] Marie
    Wait! Oh!
SIGN    PRECIOUS...
[17:43] Marie
    Please don't move!
[17:44] Marie
    Honestly! Please control yourself!
[17:47] stall owner
    Of course!
[17:49] Marie
    Oh, it's chewy! It's quite delicious!
[17:52] Marie
    Kyros, would you like to have some... too?
[17:54] Kyros
    Th-The cuteness is too much. It's killing me.
[17:57] Marie
    Honestly!
[18:07] Marie
    Th-This is incredible!
[18:09] Kyros
    This shop handles goods from every country.
[18:12] Kyros
    Foreign goods are popular
    among merchants, you see.
[18:15] Kyros
    Once you've tried Ips silk undergarments,
    you'll never be able to wear any others.
[18:20] Marie
    You said that the first time we met, too.
[18:23] Marie
    Say, Kyros, will you allow me to buy
    one thing for you as a present?
[18:29] Marie
    Lady Liu Liu paid me for helping with
    writing letters and translating.
[18:35] Marie
    So if there's anything you'd like—
[18:39] Kyros
    Well, that's a top-quality, one-of-a-kind
    imported item, you see.
[18:43] Marie
    I-I didn't realize these were so costly.
[18:48] Kyros
    Marie, does this suit me?
[18:50] Marie
    Y-Yes, it does. But I think the fancier
    one there would suit you well, too.
[18:56] Kyros
    Right then!
[18:57] Kyros
    I'd like to try on the ones
    that Marie mentioned!
[19:00] Kyros
    All of them! I'll buy them all!
[19:01] Marie
    What?
[19:09] Kyros
    What do you think?
[19:10] Marie
    How wonderful!
SIGN    Flarian
    student uniform
[19:21] Marie
    A student uniform? Where will you wear it?
[19:24] Kyros
    I'll wear it to cheer you
    up when you're down, Marie.
[19:28] Kyros
    Right! I'll buy this, too!
[19:29] Marie
    What?!
[19:36] Marie; internal
    It will probably still take a little
    while for him to finish changing.
[19:45] Marie; internal
    These are priced at a bargain.
[19:50] Marie; internal
    This would be perfect for Lord Kyros!
[19:57] Mysterious voice
    Marie?
[20:00] Marie
    Sister?
[20:04] man
    Hey there.
[20:05] Marie; internal
    What? Did I mishear before?
[20:07] man
    Miss, are you here alone?
[20:09] man
    How about a café if you haven't eaten?
[20:12] Marie; internal
    Is he trying to get customers?
[20:14] Marie
    I'm sorry. I've already eaten.
[20:18] man
    Then, just some tea! My treat!
[20:20] Marie
    Wh-What is this all of a sudden?
[20:22] Marie
    I don't need tea. Please let go of me.
[20:26] man
    You are cute, aren't you?
[20:28] Marie; internal
    He's forcing himself to
    compliment me out of courtesy.
[20:31] Marie; internal
    I should express my gratitude.
[20:32] Marie; internal
    Oh, but...
[20:34] Marie; internal
    I don't want to!
[20:36] Marie
    Help me, Lord Kyros!
[20:43] Kyros
    What an unmannerly way to hit on someone.
[20:47] Kyros
    When a lady says no, walk away.
[20:49] Kyros
    Don't touch anyone without
    their permission!
[20:51] man
    I-I'm sorry!
[20:57] Marie
    I'm sorry for causing trouble for you.
[21:00] Kyros
    You have absolutely no reason to apologize!
[21:03] Kyros
    But... didn't you realize that
    he was trying to ask you out?
[21:05] Marie
    What?
[21:06] Kyros
    It must have happened
    many times before this.
[21:08] Marie
    N-No. My school was almost all boys,
[21:13] Marie
    but they never spoke to me more
    than absolutely necessary.
[21:16] Marie
    They used to point at me and laugh.
[21:19] Kyros
    That's not possible!
[21:21] Kyros
    Even unadorned, you're so charming
    that men would never leave you alone!
[21:26] Marie
    I'm not. I'm ugly, and my hair
    and clothes are always raggedy.
[21:32] Kyros; internal
    Raggedy...
[21:34] Kyros; internal
    That's it! That's why they
    kept her in tatters!
[21:37] Kyros; internal
    Baron Shaderan didn't want Marie's
    charms known to anyone...
[21:40] Kyros; internal
    No! He wished to conceal it, even from her,
[21:43] Kyros; internal
    so he trapped her in that disgraceful state!
[21:46] Kyros; internal
    But... no matter how hard he tries
    to tie Marie down, it won't work!
[21:54] Kyros
    I'm never letting go.
[22:01] Marie; internal
    Unlike those of other people,
    Lord Kyros' hand is comforting.
[23:59] Cillie
    It's so lonely without Marie here!
[24:03] Cillie
    Stupid Master! It's no fair!
[24:06] Wolfgang
    Now, now, Cillie.
[24:08] Wolfgang
    Still, they are quite late
    in returning, aren't they?
[24:13] Wolfgang
    I hope nothing has happened.
[24:16] Cillie
    Next time...
[24:17] Cillie
    "A Gift More Lovely Than Jewels."
SIGN    Episode 8 "A
    Gift More Lovely Than Jewels"
[24:20] Cillie
    If you don't watch, I'll send
    you flying with a kick!
[24:22] Wolfgang
    Now, Cillie!
