WEBVTT
00:15.260 --> 00:19.360
I, Renato di Rubini, first prince
of the Kingdom of Rubini,
00:19.360 --> 00:23.650
hereby call off our engagement.
00:25.460 --> 00:30.590
It began with a sudden end
to an engagement.
00:31.030 --> 00:36.040
Episode 1
00:31.030 --> 00:36.040
How I Searched For A Promising Catch
00:36.700 --> 00:38.660
Kingdom of Rubini Royal Capital
00:46.840 --> 00:49.860
Duke Annovazzi's carriage has arrived.
01:04.650 --> 01:05.770
Mimi!
01:05.770 --> 01:07.270
Aida!
01:12.890 --> 01:14.160
It's been so long!
01:14.160 --> 01:15.920
You seem well, Mimi.
01:15.920 --> 01:19.250
Has it been two years?
I'm so glad to see you.
01:20.540 --> 01:31.420
SHAKE
01:20.540 --> 01:31.420
SHAKE
01:20.540 --> 01:25.840
Duke Ametis! Thank you
for agreeing to be my guardian!
01:25.840 --> 01:27.990
My father sends his regards as well!
01:27.990 --> 01:31.420
W-Welcome to the Ametis
family home, Lady Maria.
01:31.420 --> 01:32.780
Yes, sir!
01:32.780 --> 01:34.720
Milady!
01:35.430 --> 01:38.250
Excuse me, Your Grace.
01:40.010 --> 01:42.260
Don't worry about it, Lady Maria.
01:42.260 --> 01:47.090
Your magnanimous personality
has saved Aida countless times.
01:47.890 --> 01:49.280
Is that right?
01:49.280 --> 01:52.010
I hope you'll continue to be friends.
01:52.010 --> 01:56.230
That said, Aida is no longer
merely my daughter.
01:56.230 --> 01:59.500
I ask that you use your discretion.
01:59.500 --> 02:05.020
You can't suddenly take her
to faraway places like you once did.
02:05.020 --> 02:07.840
This is the Kingdom of Rubini, Father.
02:07.840 --> 02:11.800
We can't do what we did back in the
Kingdom of Muro where Mimi's from.
02:11.800 --> 02:14.990
I'm just worried about you, Aida.
02:14.990 --> 02:17.920
You'll become a royal soon.
02:17.920 --> 02:20.510
Please, Father.
02:22.770 --> 02:28.520
BLAZE
02:23.100 --> 02:25.100
You can count on me, Your Grace!
02:25.100 --> 02:28.520
I'll protect Aida with all my might!
02:30.440 --> 02:34.560
Ah, I have an audience
with His Majesty now.
02:34.870 --> 02:38.560
Lady Maria, please make yourself at home.
02:39.140 --> 02:41.560
Aida, I leave the rest in your hands.
02:42.200 --> 02:44.610
She screwed up already...
02:44.960 --> 02:48.290
I'm sorry my father
was rude to you, Mimi.
02:48.290 --> 02:49.570
It's totally fine.
02:49.570 --> 02:54.250
More importantly, Aida, didn't you
get engaged to the Prince of Rubini?
02:54.250 --> 02:56.380
What's he like? How'd you meet?
02:56.380 --> 02:57.730
Aw, shucks.
02:57.730 --> 03:02.850
Our families may be distantly
related, but I'm still proud of you.
03:02.850 --> 03:04.480
I knew you could do it, Aida.
03:06.580 --> 03:09.300
My father forced it to happen.
03:09.300 --> 03:11.990
What?! Then how do you feel?
03:12.900 --> 03:15.990
I'm very honored, of course.
03:16.380 --> 03:19.130
I'm sure I'd pay dearly if I refused.
03:24.960 --> 03:27.990
Anyway, I'd rather hear about you.
03:27.990 --> 03:29.950
Why did you suddenly
decide to study abroad?
03:29.950 --> 03:31.920
Don't you need to look after your family?
03:31.920 --> 03:33.210
Don't they need you?
03:34.370 --> 03:37.880
Aida, I'm here to find a promising catch.
03:38.530 --> 03:41.300
A promising catch?
03:41.300 --> 03:44.520
I believe I told you in my letter...
03:44.890 --> 03:47.390
One, two, three! One—
03:47.390 --> 03:50.730
RUMBLE
03:47.390 --> 03:50.730
Milady! Lady Mimi!
03:54.040 --> 03:56.490
A young master's been born.
03:56.490 --> 03:58.210
You have a younger brother.
03:58.210 --> 03:59.660
A younger brother?
04:04.650 --> 04:07.620
Mimi, this is your younger brother.
04:11.150 --> 04:13.330
He's so soft and warm.
04:17.590 --> 04:21.010
F-Fantastic! I have an heir!
04:21.340 --> 04:23.930
Mimi, go find a husband.
04:23.930 --> 04:26.380
The most promising one you can find.
04:26.380 --> 04:29.070
find... find... find...
04:29.070 --> 04:33.060
I don't believe it. I had no idea.
04:33.060 --> 04:35.330
I'm so sorry.
04:35.330 --> 04:37.610
Sorry? Why are you sorry?
04:37.610 --> 04:43.650
Because you've worked so hard
to become the Annovazzi family heir.
04:43.650 --> 04:46.200
Your studies, practice, and training...
04:46.200 --> 04:49.420
You've learned so many things
a lady normally wouldn't need to.
04:49.420 --> 04:52.800
Oh, I'd hardly call them unnecessary.
04:52.800 --> 04:56.160
They're all useful life skills
even if I'm not the heir.
04:56.160 --> 04:57.050
What?
05:01.080 --> 05:06.450
A male heir is preferred, but my
parents only had girls until recently.
05:06.450 --> 05:08.720
I just happen to be one of them.
05:08.720 --> 05:11.110
You make it sound so simple.
05:12.100 --> 05:15.690
Because my dream isn't to
take over the Annovazzi family.
05:18.290 --> 05:23.300
Nothing would please me more than
Teo becoming a marvelous heir.
05:23.300 --> 05:26.300
What could be better
than everyone finding joy?
05:26.300 --> 05:28.240
That sounds very like you, Mimi.
05:28.240 --> 05:31.830
His freeloading big sister
can't hang around forever.
05:31.830 --> 05:35.180
So I have to find a promising catch.
05:35.180 --> 05:37.500
You're not looking in your local area?
05:37.500 --> 05:39.790
I already did!
05:39.790 --> 05:44.450
But all the suitable matches were taken.
05:44.450 --> 05:47.380
Maybe I'm just not very popular.
05:47.380 --> 05:49.170
I wouldn't say that.
05:49.170 --> 05:51.170
I spoke my mind again!
05:51.170 --> 05:52.900
That's a bad habit of yours.
05:53.620 --> 05:58.240
Anyway, that's why I'm here studying
abroad to find a promising catch.
05:58.240 --> 06:00.440
I hope you find someone nice.
06:00.440 --> 06:04.780
I should show you around
the royal academy first.
06:04.780 --> 06:06.780
Yes, please.
06:08.150 --> 06:13.210
This was originally a school
exclusively for royals.
06:13.550 --> 06:17.080
But two generations ago,
the king decided it would be best
06:17.080 --> 06:21.300
if they studied alongside nobles
and began admitting them.
06:21.630 --> 06:26.640
It's good for nobles to get to
know each other from a young age.
06:26.960 --> 06:28.580
I see.
06:29.360 --> 06:34.560
Everyone's so polite. Is it because
you're engaged to the prince?
06:35.550 --> 06:37.690
Maybe not.
06:42.190 --> 06:46.300
Hey, Aida. Is that a transfer student?
06:46.780 --> 06:50.440
Yes, she is. Let me introduce you.
06:50.440 --> 06:53.590
This is Maria Annovazzi. This is—
06:53.590 --> 06:55.790
Nice to meet you. Call me Mimi.
06:55.790 --> 06:57.540
The prince...
06:58.790 --> 07:00.330
The prince?!
07:00.660 --> 07:02.550
So, His Highness?
07:04.060 --> 07:06.700
Call me Placido.
07:07.260 --> 07:09.850
I see. So you're Mimi.
07:09.850 --> 07:11.690
I'm delighted to meet you.
07:12.030 --> 07:14.290
Aida's told me all about you.
07:14.290 --> 07:16.290
What? Really?
07:17.220 --> 07:20.270
I told him you're my best friend.
07:20.680 --> 07:25.370
Your family hosted Aida to help
with her asthma, didn't they?
07:25.370 --> 07:30.340
I heard she wasn't sure if you
were a boy or girl at first.
07:30.340 --> 07:31.280
Your Highness!
07:31.720 --> 07:32.990
That's right.
07:32.990 --> 07:36.340
I didn't know how to
wear dresses back then.
07:36.340 --> 07:39.080
In fact, I still struggle with them today.
07:39.080 --> 07:40.170
Mimi!
07:41.290 --> 07:43.620
Truly, you exceed my expectations.
07:43.620 --> 07:45.630
No wonder you're Aida's friend.
07:45.630 --> 07:47.990
What? Uh...
07:47.990 --> 07:52.380
I know what I'm like, but Aida is
the most ladylike of all ladies.
07:52.380 --> 07:53.720
Is that right?
07:53.760 --> 08:00.150
BONK BONK
07:54.670 --> 07:58.510
At first, Aida threw chestnuts at me.
07:55.170 --> 07:58.510
Stay away from me! Don't touch me!
07:58.510 --> 08:00.150
She didn't even remove the husks.
08:00.150 --> 08:01.940
What? No way.
08:01.940 --> 08:07.580
That's because you teased me
about being a greedy glutton.
08:07.580 --> 08:10.170
Not to mention that was
more than ten years ago.
08:10.170 --> 08:15.340
I'm surprised. I thought
Aida was a natural-born lady.
08:15.340 --> 08:17.080
Please, no more.
08:22.920 --> 08:24.930
So that's how it is.
08:24.930 --> 08:27.560
I understand your
situation and goals now.
08:27.910 --> 08:30.620
I'll find some promising
young lords for you.
08:30.620 --> 08:33.850
Really? Thank you.
08:35.740 --> 08:36.720
Brother!
08:41.750 --> 08:43.840
Did he not hear me?
08:43.840 --> 08:45.360
Give me a minute.
08:46.520 --> 08:49.480
I don't think Prince Renato will come.
08:54.850 --> 08:56.070
No luck.
08:56.070 --> 09:01.100
I wanted to introduce Mimi,
but he said he had work to do.
09:01.520 --> 09:04.630
He seems busier than ever recently.
09:04.940 --> 09:11.890
Well, my brother's far more talented
than me, but he can be a bit inflexible.
09:11.890 --> 09:14.140
He's a perfectionist and workaholic.
09:14.560 --> 09:17.810
His aide, Raimondo, asked me
to help my brother, so I'm off.
09:18.190 --> 09:20.570
See you later, Aida and Mimi.
09:22.730 --> 09:25.360
Have you seen enough of the academy?
09:25.840 --> 09:27.360
You bet!
09:28.110 --> 09:30.060
I'm sorry.
09:30.060 --> 09:32.860
Shame on you for making a ruckus here!
09:33.220 --> 09:35.960
Please forgive her, Lady Eleonora.
09:35.960 --> 09:38.070
I offer my apologies as well.
09:38.070 --> 09:43.570
I can't reject an apology from
the fiancée of the Prince of Rubini.
09:43.990 --> 09:47.540
That would make me the bad guy.
09:47.540 --> 09:50.110
Do be careful from now on.
09:52.860 --> 09:55.410
What unbelievable strength...
09:55.410 --> 09:56.510
Don't mind her.
09:57.060 --> 10:00.420
Lady Eleonora just
speaks that way sometimes.
10:00.420 --> 10:05.310
Right. She seemed reluctant,
but she did forgive me.
10:11.110 --> 10:16.160
Aida seems friendly with Prince Placido,
but he's not her fiancé.
10:16.160 --> 10:21.500
That must mean she's engaged to
his older brother, Prince Renato.
10:21.880 --> 10:25.910
But she doesn't seem happy about it.
10:26.900 --> 10:30.090
I need to find my own promising catch.
10:31.040 --> 10:39.050
Always a Catch!
10:32.310 --> 10:34.250
I'll do my best.
10:41.310 --> 10:44.410
How are you, Father and Mother?
10:44.410 --> 10:47.770
I've been studying abroad
for two months, and I feel great.
10:47.770 --> 10:51.440
Aida treats me well,
and I've made friends.
10:51.440 --> 10:54.100
How do you do, Lady Annovazzi?
10:54.100 --> 10:57.450
I heard you're staying
with Duke Ametis's family.
10:57.450 --> 10:59.290
Are you free today, milady?
10:59.290 --> 11:01.660
Where is Lady Aida today?
11:06.400 --> 11:08.410
I'm sure they're great people.
11:08.410 --> 11:10.750
I need more time to find a fiancé.
11:25.830 --> 11:27.810
Oh? Mimi?
11:27.810 --> 11:29.530
Prince Placido.
11:30.540 --> 11:33.150
Where's Aida? She's not with you?
11:33.660 --> 11:36.530
She's had a fever since last night.
11:36.530 --> 11:39.070
It's a shame, but she's
skipping the party.
11:39.960 --> 11:42.030
I see. I'm worried about her.
11:42.030 --> 11:45.290
Right? I'm sure you're
very worried about her.
11:45.290 --> 11:47.460
O-Of course I am.
11:50.330 --> 11:52.090
Um...
11:53.640 --> 11:55.420
Lady Maria Annovazzi.
11:55.840 --> 12:01.040
Would you honor me,
Placido di Rubini, with a dance?
12:01.760 --> 12:06.800
What?! But I'm not used to dancing yet.
12:06.800 --> 12:09.020
I'd only cause you trouble.
12:09.020 --> 12:13.520
It's all right. The important thing
is that you have fun.
12:17.950 --> 12:19.780
Yes, Your Highness.
12:45.520 --> 12:46.600
This is it!
12:55.360 --> 12:57.570
I'm hungry after that workout.
12:58.510 --> 13:02.850
Aida is lucky to have a friend like you.
13:04.880 --> 13:08.110
I believe Aida went to stay
with you in the first place
13:08.500 --> 13:12.610
because she exhausted herself
studying to be ladylike.
13:13.480 --> 13:15.920
It's probably the reason
for today's absence as well.
13:15.920 --> 13:18.080
That's news to me.
13:18.080 --> 13:21.840
Aida's always been
a perfectly put together lady.
13:23.150 --> 13:28.120
I think you're helping Aida
a lot just by being with her.
13:28.120 --> 13:31.350
Yes, Your Majesty. I'll protect Aida.
13:31.350 --> 13:33.560
That's encouraging.
13:35.480 --> 13:38.710
Perhaps she'll recover if they
formally announce their engagement
13:38.710 --> 13:40.990
at the graduation party.
13:41.920 --> 13:43.850
Graduation party?
13:45.400 --> 13:48.580
The students one year
above us are graduating.
13:49.250 --> 13:52.770
Prince Renato will be the center
of attention this year.
13:53.190 --> 13:57.340
The remaining students
are also allowed to attend.
13:57.760 --> 14:00.730
I bet it's a luxurious party.
14:01.760 --> 14:05.760
Today's party was amazing, too.
All the steak you can eat.
14:06.640 --> 14:07.990
That's great.
14:07.990 --> 14:11.200
Also, Prince Placido is really nice.
14:11.200 --> 14:12.230
He really is.
14:13.410 --> 14:15.980
Hey, Aida, do you...
14:19.920 --> 14:22.990
Uh, nothing.
14:22.990 --> 14:28.010
All right! I'll work hard
to find a fiancé at the party!
14:28.010 --> 14:31.950
You'll need to control your
habit of speaking your mind.
14:31.950 --> 14:34.040
I'll be careful.
14:34.680 --> 14:37.570
While learning to be ladylike with Aida,
14:37.570 --> 14:40.630
I wait for Prince Placido
to introduce me to someone.
14:40.630 --> 14:44.950
Teo, make sure you listen to Father,
Mother, and your older sisters.
14:44.950 --> 14:46.470
Take care.
14:46.470 --> 14:47.450
There.
14:57.140 --> 14:58.670
Are you ready?
15:01.730 --> 15:05.990
Your hair glitters
like autumn wheat, Mimi.
15:05.990 --> 15:09.910
It's not as smooth or glossy
as your blonde hair, Aida.
15:09.910 --> 15:16.600
It's, uh, a beautiful golden...
gold color.
15:16.600 --> 15:20.960
Thank you. We'll work on your language
skills when we get back from the party.
15:22.390 --> 15:25.310
Okay, that should do it. Let's go.
15:32.410 --> 15:36.040
You don't need to ride
with Prince Renato?
15:36.040 --> 15:37.640
Isn't he your fiancé?
15:38.940 --> 15:41.710
He's a very busy man.
15:42.150 --> 15:45.430
I see. I guess he is a prince.
15:45.430 --> 15:48.660
If it were me, I'd kick
down the door to see him.
15:48.660 --> 15:50.550
Oh, Mimi.
15:55.850 --> 15:57.000
What's wrong?
16:00.640 --> 16:03.720
That's Lady Eleonora's carriage.
16:03.720 --> 16:08.510
Eleonora? Oh, the girl I bumped into.
16:10.410 --> 16:12.740
Lady Eleonora, what
seems to be the problem?
16:12.740 --> 16:15.020
Ugh! Leave me alone.
16:15.020 --> 16:16.600
If your carriage is damaged—
16:15.060 --> 16:16.640
SNEAK
16:16.600 --> 16:20.270
Didn't you hear me?
I don't need your help.
16:20.760 --> 16:22.220
Aida...
16:22.870 --> 16:26.060
My apologies. If you'll excuse us.
16:34.130 --> 16:36.660
I wonder if that carriage will be okay.
16:37.450 --> 16:40.920
That's what I like about you, Mimi.
16:40.920 --> 16:41.900
Huh?
16:43.620 --> 16:47.840
Well, I like how you never
speak poorly of anyone.
16:49.220 --> 16:50.440
Thank you.
17:09.420 --> 17:11.200
Look at all these people.
17:11.200 --> 17:14.940
Isn't that the minister
of the Kingdom of Kihaus?
17:14.940 --> 17:17.580
Even he's attending this party?
17:18.300 --> 17:20.710
Your father's here, too.
17:22.610 --> 17:28.320
Announcing First Prince Renato
and Second Prince Placido.
17:34.760 --> 17:38.600
SWOON
17:34.760 --> 17:38.600
SWOON
17:36.000 --> 17:38.600
He's always so beautiful.
17:38.600 --> 17:44.560
SWOON
17:38.910 --> 17:44.560
After graduation, he'll be declared
crown prince, won't he?
17:44.560 --> 17:46.860
Even his furrowed brow is beautiful.
17:46.860 --> 17:49.440
Prince Placido is charming as well.
17:54.210 --> 17:59.270
Why is Prince Renato escorting
someone other than his fiancée?
18:01.310 --> 18:04.110
You're not having him
escort you, Lady Aida?
18:04.110 --> 18:06.420
Lady Eleonora is with him again.
18:06.420 --> 18:08.660
And he's ignoring his fiancée.
18:08.660 --> 18:12.210
I heard your relationship with
Prince Renato is not going well.
18:12.210 --> 18:13.390
You poor thing.
18:13.390 --> 18:15.790
You can talk to me
if there's anything on your mind.
18:21.660 --> 18:23.960
Aida, I'm thirsty.
18:23.960 --> 18:26.050
Let's go to the garden and drink our fill.
18:29.830 --> 18:31.990
But we had more questions.
18:34.290 --> 18:35.790
Thank you, Mimi.
18:36.490 --> 18:39.110
I can't believe they'd ask
those insensitive questions.
18:39.110 --> 18:41.380
They can't call themselves ladies.
18:41.380 --> 18:43.000
Oh, Mimi.
18:43.000 --> 18:46.350
Everyone's interested in Prince Renato.
18:46.840 --> 18:49.250
That means they're
interested in me as well.
18:50.360 --> 18:55.510
But isn't it exhausting not knowing
if they actually care about you or not?
18:56.130 --> 18:58.350
Sometimes.
18:58.350 --> 19:03.140
Well, I only speak the truth,
so don't worry.
19:03.500 --> 19:06.400
You should work on your phrasing, Mimi.
19:06.400 --> 19:07.400
Yes, ma'am.
19:11.420 --> 19:12.840
Prince Renato?
19:12.840 --> 19:14.930
He's escorting Lady Eleonora?
19:14.930 --> 19:16.070
What's going on?
19:16.070 --> 19:18.490
I heard she had trouble with her carriage.
19:18.490 --> 19:20.620
His Highness gave her a ride.
19:20.620 --> 19:22.790
But she shooed away Aida.
19:23.430 --> 19:25.040
What's her angle?
19:29.060 --> 19:30.500
Our eyes met?
19:34.010 --> 19:35.760
He's coming over here.
19:44.670 --> 19:45.640
Mimi.
19:55.600 --> 19:58.110
If you were watching,
that makes things simple.
19:58.110 --> 20:00.110
Lady Aida Ametis.
20:03.890 --> 20:07.840
I, Renato di Rubini, first prince
of the Kingdom of Rubini,
20:07.840 --> 20:12.380
hereby call off our engagement.
20:17.570 --> 20:23.000
Why is this prince telling me
he's calling off his engagement to Aida?
20:23.640 --> 20:27.640
Brother, what's going on?
20:27.640 --> 20:30.160
You've been fooled, Placido.
20:30.160 --> 20:33.280
She's jealous of my relationship
with Lady Eleonora
20:33.280 --> 20:37.150
and has been following her around
and committing violence against her.
20:37.150 --> 20:40.780
Your Highness, that's not her.
20:41.350 --> 20:44.990
I won't allow someone to use their
status to look down on others!
20:45.530 --> 20:47.690
Please calm down, Brother.
20:47.690 --> 20:50.160
Aida isn't that kind of woman.
20:50.160 --> 20:51.750
Unfortunately, Placido,
20:51.750 --> 20:54.480
my aide has gathered evidence.
20:51.750 --> 20:54.920
PANIC
20:56.120 --> 20:57.750
You can't talk your way out of this.
20:57.750 --> 21:00.910
I command you to withdraw
from the academy immediately
21:00.910 --> 21:04.050
and apologize to
Lady Eleonora here and now.
21:04.050 --> 21:05.350
What's going on?
21:05.350 --> 21:06.620
He called off their engagement?
21:06.620 --> 21:07.550
What does that mean?
21:07.550 --> 21:10.060
What am I supposed to do now?
21:12.570 --> 21:14.060
Aida...
21:14.560 --> 21:16.610
BLAZE
21:14.560 --> 21:16.610
I'll protect Aida with all my might!
21:16.950 --> 21:20.150
I told him you're my best friend.
21:25.280 --> 21:26.700
Your Highness!
21:26.700 --> 21:29.970
Do you understand what you're doing?
21:29.970 --> 21:31.870
O-Of course I do.
21:31.870 --> 21:35.210
No, you understand nothing!
21:37.740 --> 21:40.620
My name is Maria Annovazzi!
21:40.620 --> 21:44.390
Your fiancée, Lady Aida Ametis,
is over here!
21:45.320 --> 21:48.680
The first thing you should do is...
21:48.680 --> 21:50.790
buy some glasses!
21:51.270 --> 21:53.150
What?
23:21.480 --> 23:25.020

BONK BONK BONK
23:26.840 --> 23:30.830
My name is Maria Annovazzi. Call me Mimi.
23:30.830 --> 23:33.790
How do you get Mimi from Maria?
23:33.790 --> 23:36.650
That's not a secret I can reveal here.
23:35.040 --> 23:40.040
Next Time
23:35.040 --> 23:40.040
How I Caught the One That Got Away
23:36.650 --> 23:39.040
Oh, no! I said that out loud again!
