SIGN    I Met My Destined One...
[01:34] YoungGeordo
    I was born into the awkward
    position of the third prince.
[01:38] YoungGeordo
    My two older brothers are brilliant,
[01:40] YoungGeordo
    and people say that one of them
    will someday be the next king.
[01:43] YoungGeordo
    To be honest, I have no interest
    in the throne whatsoever.
[01:47] YoungGeordo
    My younger twin brother,
    Alan, is often sick.
[01:50] YoungGeordo
    My mother and the servants spend
    all their time worrying about him.
[01:54] YoungGeordo
    For all these reasons, everyone only
    pays attention to my other brothers,
[01:58] YoungGeordo
    and my presence in the castle
    is often forgotten.
[02:03] YoungGeordo
    For no particular purpose,
[02:04] YoungGeordo
    I master almost everything easily,
    including the sword and academic studies.
[02:12] YoungGeordo
    My days doing all that were so boring...
[02:19] YoungGeordo
    until I met her.
[02:23] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    It's an honor to meet you, Lady Catarina.
[02:26] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    I am Geordo Stuart.
[02:31] YoungGeordo
    She seems like a pretty dumb lady.
[02:34] YoungGeordo
    At first, I thought she was
    a selfish, stuck-up,
[02:36] YoungGeordo
    stupid rich girl who'd
    had a pampered upbringing.
[02:42] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    U-Um...
[02:44] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    My feet hurt.
    I can't keep walking on my own.
[02:47] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Maybe I've developed blisters...
[02:49] YoungGeordo
    How annoying...
[02:53] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Please, wait!
[02:54] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Prince Geordo!
[03:02] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    L-Lady Catarina!
[03:03] (Flashback) Maid
    Are you all right, Lady Catarina?!
[03:05] YoungGeordo
    This just turned into a huge pain!
[03:08] (Flashback) Servant
    Knowing that young lady,
[03:10] (Flashback) Servant
    she might insist you assume
    responsibility by becoming her fiancé.
[03:15] YoungGeordo
    The Claes family doesn't
    belong to any faction.
[03:18] YoungGeordo
    A girl like her shouldn't be
    too difficult to deal with.
[03:21] YoungGeordo
    She should be the perfect choice
    for a fiancée who'll give me an excuse
[03:26] YoungGeordo
    to gracefully decline some silly engagement.
[03:29] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    I'm so sorry I caused
    an injury to your face.
[03:32] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    This is just a scratch.
    It's nothing to worry about.
[03:37] YoungGeordo
    What in the world is she saying?
[03:39] YoungGeordo
    She doesn't sound like
    that selfish little rich girl.
[03:42] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    B-But even if it doesn't bother you,
[03:45] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    the rest of high society
    won't feel the same.
[03:47] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    It might even hurt your
    chances of getting married.
[03:50] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    R-Right...
[03:51] YoungGeordo
    She's clearly not listening to me.
[03:54] YoungGeordo
    I used that chance to get her
    to agree to the engagement.
[03:57] YoungGeordo
    I figured it would just be a hassle
    to change the plan now,
[04:00] YoungGeordo
    and besides, I was taking
    an interest in this Catarina Claes girl.
[04:05] YoungGeordo
    I wanted to have a bit
    more involvement with her.
[04:12] YoungGeordo
    So then I went over
    to formally propose, but...
[04:16] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    Wh-Why are you dressed like a farmer?
[04:21] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Good day, Prince Geordo.
[04:23] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    I'm communing with the earth
    in order to train my magic.
[04:27] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    Huh?
[04:28] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    I felt that starting a farm
    would be the best way to do that.
[04:32] YoungGeordo
    What is she talking about?
[04:39] YoungGeordo
    I've never met anyone as interesting as her.
[04:43] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    I see!
[04:45] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    That's a new and unique way to train!
[04:49] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    Lady Catarina...
[04:50] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    I've come to present myself to you formally.
[04:53] (Flashback) YoungGeordo
    Will you accept my proposal of marriage?
[04:57] YoungGeordo
    She doesn't look like
    she's even listening...
[04:59] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Oh... Yes.
[05:06] YoungGeordo
    She probably just answered without thinking.
[05:09] YoungGeordo
    Seeing her like that made me
    feel laughter welling up again.
[05:14] YoungGeordo
    This girl with brown hair
    and light blue eyes...
[05:17] YoungGeordo
    For the first time in my life,
    I'd taken a powerful interest in someone.
[05:22] YoungGeordo
    I felt as if my unbearably boring days
[05:26] YoungGeordo
    were about to change.

[05:39] (Flashback) Luigi
    Hi there. You must be Keith.
[05:42] (Flashback) Luigi
    Welcome to the Claes family.
[05:44] YoungKeith
    On this day, I became Keith Claes.
[05:48] YoungKeith
    This is the second time my name has changed.
[05:56] YoungKeith
    The first time was when I was three.
[05:59] YoungKeith
    If I made the slightest fuss,
    I'd get beaten or go without meals,
[06:03] YoungKeith
    so I just lived quietly
    in a corner of my room.
[06:07] YoungKeith
    Then, one day...
[06:09] YoungKeith
    a man I didn't know entered,
[06:12] YoungKeith
    and I was taken to a beautiful mansion.
[06:17] YoungKeith
    There, I met my father, stepmother,
    and brothers for the first time.
[06:23] YoungKeith
    I wasn't allowed to call
    them "Mother" and "Father,"
[06:26] YoungKeith
    and I was told to address my
    brothers with formal titles.
[06:30] YoungKeith
    My mother was my father's mistress,
[06:33] YoungKeith
    and I overheard that she
    had forced him to raise me.
[06:36] YoungKeith
    My brothers hated me.
[06:38] YoungKeith
    They always hit and kicked me.
[06:41] YoungKeith
    That's why I stayed quietly in my room...
[06:45] YoungKeith
    But then it happened.
[06:47] (Flashback) YoungKeith
    S-Stop!
[07:00] (Flashback) Brother
    Y-You're a monster...
[07:14] (Flashback) Luigi
    This is Keith. He's going to
    be your brother from now on.
[07:18] (Flashback) YoungKeith
    I-It's nice to meet you.
[07:25] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Keith! Come on, hurry up!
[07:27] (Flashback) YoungKeith
    Yes, Lady Catarina.
[07:29] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Hey! I told you to call me
    "Sister," remember?
[07:33] (Flashback) YoungKeith
    Oh, right...
[07:39] (Flashback) YoungKeith
    Sister.
[07:42] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    That has such a nice ring to it!
[07:44] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    It's always been my dream
    to be called "Sister"!
[07:47] YoungKeith
    She seems kind of unusual...
[07:49] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Come on!
    I'll show you my favorite spot!
[07:54] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Here it is!
[07:56] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    The view from the top
    of this tree is the best!
[08:06] YoungKeith
    She's still in a dress!
[08:08] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Hey, Kei—
[08:16] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Ow...
[08:17] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Keith?!
[08:18] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    No! Don't die!
[08:21] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    I finally got such a cute little brother!
[08:24] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    I can't believe I killed you with my butt!
[08:26] (Flashback) YoungKeith
    S-Sister Catarina!
[08:28] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Thank goodness! Keith!
[08:33] YoungKeith
    It was the first time
    anyone had ever hugged me.
[08:36] YoungKeith
    It was a strange feeling,
    like my chest suddenly felt warmer.
[08:45] (Flashback) Millidiana
    I want a divorce.
[08:47] (Flashback) Millidiana
    I will return to my parents' home
    with this useless daughter of ours.
[08:51] (Flashback) Millidiana
    Please find happiness
    with young Keith and his mother!
[08:56] (Flashback) Luigi
    Wh-What are you saying, Millidiana?
[08:59] (Flashback) Luigi
    Who is this "mother" you speak of?
[09:04] YoungKeith
    Apparently, Duchess Claes thought
    I was the son of her husband's mistress,
[09:10] YoungKeith
    but the misunderstanding was cleared up.
[09:11] YoungKeith
    Duchess Claes had been blunt with me at first,
[09:14] YoungKeith
    but after that, she was kind to me.
[09:18] YoungKeith
    Every day after that felt new...
[09:21] YoungKeith
    and fun...
[09:23] YoungKeith
    and happy.
[09:25] YoungKeith
    And that's why I forgot...
[09:31] YoungKeith
    that I was a monster whose magic
    was beyond control.
[09:38] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Open the door, Keith!
[09:41] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Keith! Keith!
[09:44] YoungKeith
    I wanted to see my sister, but I couldn't.
[09:48] YoungKeith
    The idea of hurting her,
[09:51] YoungKeith
    of her calling me a monster...
    scared me so much.
[10:07] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    We'll always be together, Keith!
[10:21] YoungKeith
    Tears had always come to me
    when I felt sad or lonely.
[10:27] YoungKeith
    The more I cried, the more my chest hurt,
[10:30] YoungKeith
    and the harder it was to breathe.
[10:32] YoungKeith
    And yet...
[10:34] YoungKeith
    the more I cried, the warmer my chest felt.
[10:37] YoungKeith
    I learned for the first time
    that tears can fall when you're happy, too.
[10:43] (Flashback) YoungKeith
    Thank you, Sister...
[10:45] YoungKeith
    I wanted to stay with my sister.
[10:48] Millidiana
    Catarina!
[10:48] YoungKeith
    From then on, always.
[10:51] Millidiana
    Just what are you doing?!
[10:52] YoungKeith
    And one day,
    I want to be able to protect her.

[11:08] YoungMary
    I was born as the fourth
    daughter of Marquess Hunt.
[11:13] YoungMary
    My mother was a truly beautiful, kind woman,
[11:17] YoungMary
    but she was a second wife
    and a woman of lower status,
[11:19] YoungMary
    so she wasn't treated
    favorably at our mansion.
[11:22] YoungMary
    When she passed away,
[11:24] YoungMary
    my three older sisters began to bully me
    and say mean things to me.
[11:30] (Flashback) 2nd Daughter
    My, what a dirty hair color.
[11:32] (Flashback) 3rd Daughter
    Her low status is just pouring out.
[11:34] (Flashback) Eldest Daughter
    You have no class at all,
[11:36] (Flashback) Eldest Daughter
    you little nuisance.
[11:41] YoungMary
    This was the only place I could run away to.
[11:45] YoungMary
    I could only feel at peace
    when I was tending to the plants.
[11:49] (Flashback) YoungMary
    I-It's a pleasure to meet you.
[11:52] (Flashback) YoungMary
    I'm the fourth daughter, M-Mary Hunt.
[11:55] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Nice to meet you, Lady Mary.
[11:58] YoungMary
    She was such a sharp contrast to me.
[12:06] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Th-This garden sure is incredible.
[12:08] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    There are so many flowers.
    It's really beautiful!
[12:11] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    And they're all blooming so brilliantly.
[12:14] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    You must have a very skilled gardener.
[12:17] (Flashback) YoungMary
    I'm the one who takes care of these flowers.
[12:21] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Incredible...
[12:22] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    How do you do it?!
[12:24] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Do you have a secret trick?!
[12:25] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Or is the secret in the dirt itself?!
[12:28] YoungMary
    How long has it been since
    someone complimented me like this?
[12:33] (Flashback) YoungMary
    F-Fields?
[12:35] (Flashback) YoungMary
    You raise farm fields?
[12:37] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    I've been raising vegetables,
[12:39] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    but for some reason, they're wilting.
[12:41] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    I don't know why, or what I should do.
[12:44] (Flashback) YoungMary
    I do wish I could help you,
[12:46] (Flashback) YoungMary
    but I've never raised vegetables before.
[12:49] (Flashback) YoungMary
    I can't give any advice
    after just hearing what you...
[12:52] YoungMary
    I've never heard of a noble
    lady who tends to fields.
[12:55] YoungMary
    But she truly seems troubled over it.
[12:59] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Then would you please come to my house
    and take a look at them?
[13:03] (Flashback) YoungMary
    Huh?!
[13:08] YoungMary
    I don't know anything about vegetables,
[13:10] YoungMary
    but I want to be of some help.
[13:23] YoungMary
    The wilting vegetables
    gradually started to perk up.
[13:30] (Flashback) YoungMary
    This is my favorite type of rose.
[13:33] (Flashback) YoungMary
    It's a very unusual color, don't you think?
[13:36] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    You're right! There are roses of this color?
[13:39] (Flashback) YoungMary
    Yes!
[13:40] (Flashback) YoungMary
    They're difficult to care for,
[13:42] (Flashback) YoungMary
    but I want to raise
    beautiful ones like this.
[13:45] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    I'm sure you can do it, Mary!
[13:47] (Flashback) YoungMary
    Lady Catarina...
[13:49] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Say, Mary, could you keep visiting me
    until my vegetables are healthy?
[13:56] (Flashback) YoungMary
    Y-Yes!
[13:58] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Oh, good!
[13:59] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Just sitting here talking
    like this is a lot of fun!
[14:03] YoungMary
    Lady Catarina was always so confident,
[14:05] YoungMary
    cheerful, and optimistic.
    She was truly wonderful.
[14:09] YoungMary
    So every time Lady Catarina complimented me,
[14:12] YoungMary
    I regained a bit
    of the confidence I had lost.
[14:16] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    They're doing so much better!
[14:18] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    And it's all because of you! Thank you!
[14:20] (Flashback) YoungMary
    I-I didn't...
[14:22] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    You have a green thumb for sure!
[14:24] (Flashback) YoungMary
    A green thumb?
[14:26] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    That's what you say about people
    who have a talent for raising plants!
[14:30] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Your green thumb makes you extra special
    and extra amazing, Mary!
[14:36] (Flashback) YoungMary
    I'm... special?
[14:39] YoungMary
    I was so, so happy.
[14:44] YoungMary
    I wanted to become someone worthy
    of being Lady Catarina's friend.
[14:49] (Flashback) YoungMary
    Um, Lady Catarina...
[14:51] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Yes?
[14:52] (Flashback) YoungMary
    I know the vegetables are doing better now,
[14:55] (Flashback) YoungMary
    but can I still come
    and visit again sometime?
[14:57] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    You're more than welcome to!
    Come visit anytime!
[15:03] (Flashback) YoungMary
    Okay!
[15:08] YoungMary
    That's why I'm saying goodbye
    to the weak, cowardly Mary Hunt,
[15:14] YoungMary
    so I can confidently stand
    by Lady Catarina's side someday.

[15:34] YoungAlan
    Unlike my older twin brother, Geordo,
[15:37] YoungAlan
    my health was frail when I was a child.
[15:40] YoungAlan
    I spent most of my time in bed.
[15:44] YoungAlan
    When my condition finally improved,
[15:46] YoungAlan
    I started studying
    and learning swordsmanship,
[15:48] YoungAlan
    working my hardest to catch up
    to my older brothers.
[15:52] YoungAlan
    But...
[15:56] (Flashback) Teacher
    Excellent, Prince Geordo!
[15:58] (Flashback) Teacher
    You solved it even more
    quickly than last time!
[16:08] YoungAlan
    I was inferior to Geordo
    in everything I tried to do.
[16:15] (Flashback) Noble1
    Prince Alan is just mediocre
    at everything he does.
[16:18] (Flashback) Noble2
    Prince Geordo must've taken all the good
    qualities while they were in the womb.
[16:23] (Flashback) Noble3
    So he's just what was left
    after the good stuff was taken?
[16:26] YoungAlan
    Since everyone just made fun of me
[16:28] YoungAlan
    and kept comparing me to Geordo,
[16:31] YoungAlan
    I became overtaken
    by an inferiority complex.
[16:36] YoungAlan
    And then my engagement was decided.
[16:41] YoungAlan
    She's so pretty... just like a doll.
[16:46] (Flashback) YoungAlan
    It's a fantastic garden.
[16:48] (Flashback) YoungMary
    Thank you.
[16:50] YoungAlan
    Come to think of it,
    that book I read the other day...
[16:53] (Flashback) YoungAlan
    I think you have a green—
[16:55] (Flashback) YoungMary
    Actually, someone told me recently
    that having a green thumb is very special.
[17:01] (Flashback) YoungMary
    It was Lady Catarina.
[17:02] (Flashback) YoungAlan
    C-Catarina?
[17:04] (Flashback) YoungMary
    Yes, Lady Catarina Claes.
[17:06] (Flashback) YoungMary
    She's so kind, wise, and amazing.
[17:09] (Flashback) YoungMary
    She's just such a wonderful person!
[17:15] YoungAlan
    Geordo takes everything from me
    with a completely unaffected look.
[17:19] YoungAlan
    And now his fiancée is trying
    to take Mary from me?
[17:25] YoungAlan
    So the two of us ended
    up competing over Mary...
[17:31] YoungAlan
    C-Climbing trees?
[17:33] YoungAlan
    Isn't that something commoner children do?
[17:42] YoungAlan
    Wha—
[17:42] YoungAlan
    What the heck is this?!
[17:44] YoungAlan
    No human moves like that!
[17:46] (Flashback) YoungAlan
    I can do that, too!
[17:54] (Flashback) YoungAlan
    Today's the day I'm gonna win!
[17:56] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Well, I'm not going to lose!
[18:00] YoungAlan
    Catarina always took our contests seriously.
[18:03] YoungAlan
    She never let me win just
    because I was a prince.
[18:08] YoungAlan
    And she always looked me
    straight in the eyes.
[18:11] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Snacks always taste best after
    a good workout, don't they?
[18:14] (Flashback) YoungAlan
    Yeah! These are better
    than the snacks at the castle!
[18:17] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Go on, have some tea, too.
[18:19] (Flashback) YoungAlan
    Sure!
[18:21] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Prince Alan! You're almost there!
[18:23] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Keep it up!
[18:25] (Flashback) YoungAlan
    I... I know!
[18:30] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    You did it, Prince Alan!
[18:32] (Flashback) YoungAlan
    Y-Yeah...
[18:38] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Isn't it pretty?
[18:40] (Flashback) YoungAlan
    I had no idea...
[18:43] (Flashback) YoungAlan
    that it looked like this.
[18:51] YoungAlan
    But the time we spent
    together was so much fun
[18:54] YoungAlan
    that I forgot one thing...
[18:58] YoungAlan
    Catarina was Geordo's fiancée.
[19:03] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Prince Alan!
[19:05] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    I think it's more an issue of what you
    are and aren't suited for.
[19:09] (Flashback) YoungAlan
    What do you mean?
[19:10] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Well... Prince Geordo has things
    he's good at and things he's bad at,
[19:16] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    and I'm sure you have some of each, as well.
[19:19] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    We all have things we handle
    well and things we don't.
[19:23] YoungAlan
    But Geordo is perfect and faultless.
[19:28] YoungAlan
    There's no way he has anything he's bad at.
[19:36] YoungAlan
    Is that really Geordo?
[19:39] YoungGeordo
    What exactly is this, Catarina?
[19:39] YoungAlan
    I get it. I had never seen
    the real Geordo before now.
[19:44] YoungAlan
    Geordo is the same as me.
[19:48] YoungAlan
    Thanks to Catarina, I finally realized that.
[19:58] YoungAlan
    I'd never laughed that much in my life.
[20:01] YoungAlan
    When I laughed until I cried,
[20:03] YoungAlan
    I felt as if all the things I'd been
    bottling up flowed out with my tears.

SIGN    My Next Life as a Villainess:

[20:18] YoungSophia
    As the oldest daughter of a count,
[20:21] YoungSophia
    I was born into a wealthy household
    and blessed with a lovely family.
[20:25] YoungSophia
    But perhaps in exchange
    for that good fortune,
[20:28] YoungSophia
    my appearance was very strange.
[20:32] (Flashback) Noble Girl
    How creepy.
[20:33] (Flashback) Noble Boy
    She's cursed.
[20:39] (Flashback) YoungNicol
    Don't worry.
[20:40] (Flashback) YoungNicol
    Someday, you'll find a great
    friend who understands you.
[20:46] (Flashback) YoungSophia
    There's no way I'll find anyone like that.
[20:50] YoungSophia
    I locked myself up in my room
[20:52] YoungSophia
    and spent all my time reading books.
[20:54] YoungSophia
    My favorite was* Sophia
    and the Emerald Princess*.
[20:58] YoungSophia
    It was a story about the friendship
    between a princess and another girl.
[21:03] YoungSophia
    The main character, Sophia,
    is popular with everyone.
[21:07] YoungSophia
    Then a princess appears before her.
[21:11] (Flashback) Emerald
    You have such lovely hair.
[21:13] (Flashback) Emerald
    May I touch it for just a moment?
[21:16] YoungSophia
    Even though we shared the same name,
[21:18] YoungSophia
    she had a wonderful story
    that I could never experience.
[21:22] YoungSophia
    That's why I like to daydream.
[21:25] YoungSophia
    My daydreams are the only place
    where I can be a lovely, popular girl.
[21:30] (Flashback) Kid2
    You have some nerve showing up
    at a happy occasion like this.
[21:33] (Flashback) Kid3
    Yeah, since you're cursed!
[21:35] (Flashback) Kid6
    You're ruining the prince's tea party!
[21:42] YoungSophia
    Then, one day, a hero
    of justice appeared before me.
[21:54] YoungSophia
    I must thank her for helping me.
[21:58] (Flashback) YoungSophia
    E-Excuse me...
[21:59] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Oh! You're that girl from before!
[22:02] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    "Your hair is as lovely as silk."
[22:06] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    "Do you mind if I touch it..."
[22:08] (Flashback) Emerald
    "...just for a moment?"
[22:11] (Flashback) YoungSophia
    The Emerald Princess?
[22:14] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    What?!
[22:15] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    A-A-A-A-Are you saying you know
    Sophia and the Emerald Princess?!
[22:20] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    But, Lady Sophia, would you come
    to my house sometime?
[22:24] (Flashback) YoungSophia
    Huh? Um, okay...
[22:26] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    I'll be waiting!
[22:30] (Flashback) YoungNicol
    Sophia, I've been looking for you.
[22:32] (Flashback) YoungSophia
    Brother...
[22:34] (Flashback) YoungSophia
    That girl just invited me
    over to her house.
[22:39] YoungSophia
    Is this reality?
[22:41] YoungSophia
    Or is it just another one of my daydreams?
[22:48] YoungSophia
    It was my first time talking
    to someone else about the books I loved.
[22:52] YoungSophia
    It felt just like a dream.
[22:55] YoungSophia
    And then...
[22:58] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    If you wouldn't mind,
    would you be my friend?
[23:07] (Flashback) YoungSophia
    Yes!
[23:11] YoungSophia
    The truth was that I wanted friends.
[23:14] YoungSophia
    I always, always did.
[23:17] YoungSophia
    After meeting Lady Catarina,
[23:20] YoungSophia
    I finally acquired the thing
[23:22] YoungSophia
    that I had long since given up on.

SIGN    My Next Life as a Villainess:

[23:34] YoungNicol
    Because my father is the premier,
[23:37] YoungNicol
    I went to the castle many times as a child,
[23:40] YoungNicol
    and I often interacted with the princes.
[23:43] YoungNicol
    In particular, I spent a lot of time
    with the youngest twins.
[23:48] YoungNicol
    I couldn't say they got along well,
    even in the spirit of flattery.
[23:51] YoungNicol
    but after a particular occasion,
    the two of them started to change.
[23:55] YoungNicol
    Apparently, it was after they
    started visiting the Claes household.
[23:59] (Flashback) YoungNicol
    Sophia, I've been looking for you.
[24:02] (Flashback) YoungSophia
    Brother...
[24:03] (Flashback) YoungSophia
    That girl just invited me
    over to her house.
[24:08] YoungNicol
    I never imagined we'd be invited
    to the Claes household, as well.
[24:13] (Flashback) Geordo
    Catarina and your sister?
[24:15] (Flashback) YoungNicol
    Sophia has received such invitations before,
[24:18] (Flashback) YoungNicol
    but they were only meant to tease her.
[24:23] (Flashback) YoungNicol
    If she gets hurt and ends up crying again...
[24:28] (Flashback) Geordo
    I thought she'd seemed awfully quiet lately.
[24:31] (Flashback) Geordo
    So she's trying to hook
    another young lady now?
[24:36] (Flashback) Geordo
    Never mind. It's nothing.
[24:38] (Flashback) Geordo
    Nicol...
[24:39] (Flashback) Geordo
    Catarina is a very unusual girl,
[24:42] (Flashback) Geordo
    but she wouldn't do anything
    to hurt your beloved sister.
[24:47] YoungNicol
    Geordo was right.
[24:50] YoungNicol
    I bet the princes visit the Claes household
    so often because this girl is there.
[24:56] YoungNicol
    Thus Sophia began
    to regain her smile, but...
[25:01] (Flashback) Noble1
    Master Nicol suffers so much
    on his sister's account.
[25:04] (Flashback) Noble1
    The poor thing.
[25:05] (Flashback) Noble2
    How unfortunate the Ascart family is.
[25:08] YoungNicol
    I wanted to protect Sophia's smile,
[25:10] YoungNicol
    but the more desperate I became to do so,
[25:14] YoungNicol
    the more I heard people
    expressing pity and sympathy.
[25:16] YoungNicol
    They're wrong. I don't need pity,
[25:19] YoungNicol
    and our family isn't unfortunate.
[25:21] YoungNicol
    I'm proud of my esteemed parents
    and my sweet, adorable sister!
[25:26] YoungNicol
    So why do they assume I'm unfortunate?
[25:28] YoungNicol
    Don't just decide for me that
    my precious sister is my misfortune!
[25:34] YoungNicol
    But no one understood how I felt.
[25:37] YoungNicol
    I eventually grew tired of voicing feelings
    that nobody would accept.
[25:43] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    You truly are blessed, Master Nicol.
[25:47] (Flashback) YoungNicol
    Blessed?
[25:49] YoungNicol
    It's true. That's how I've always felt.
[25:53] YoungNicol
    I just wanted someone else
    to understand this feeling.
[25:57] YoungNicol
    The frustration and sadness
    I'd always held in my heart
[26:00] YoungNicol
    seemed to fade away after that.
[26:02] (Flashback) YoungCatarina
    Or... am I wrong?
[26:08] (Flashback) YoungNicol
    You aren't wrong.
[26:10] (Flashback) YoungNicol
    I'm truly blessed to have
    wonderful parents I can respect
[26:13] (Flashback) YoungNicol
    and a sweet, adorable little sister.
[26:19] YoungNicol
    Catarina Claes...
[26:21] YoungNicol
    The strange girl who somehow
    changed the twin princes and my sister...
[26:25] YoungNicol
    She was the first person to understand
    my feelings when no one else did.
[26:31] YoungNicol
    I'm sure I'll be visiting her household
    frequently from now on, as well.
[26:36] YoungNicol
    Not to accompany my sister,
[26:39] YoungNicol
    but to see Catarina.
