WEBVTT
00:01.170 --> 00:06.320
Your engagement to Lady Maria
will be officially announced shortly.
00:06.320 --> 00:09.890
I've prepared a plan for going forward.
00:15.640 --> 00:16.820
Is there a problem?
00:16.820 --> 00:17.830
No.
00:24.730 --> 00:26.690
You called, Brother?
00:26.690 --> 00:30.000
Yes, Placido. Thank you for coming.
00:30.000 --> 00:31.540
It's no problem at all.
00:31.540 --> 00:34.160
You're far busier than I am.
00:35.240 --> 00:38.080
What are your plans for the future?
00:38.780 --> 00:40.790
My plans?
00:41.360 --> 00:42.540
Yes.
00:42.540 --> 00:48.070
Well, this week I'm attending
an equestrian meet as an advisor,
00:48.070 --> 00:50.510
and I have a student council
meeting at the academy.
00:50.510 --> 00:51.560
Also...
00:51.560 --> 00:56.190
No, I mean when are you getting
engaged to Lady Aida Ametis?
01:03.090 --> 01:07.310
My name is Mimi. I'm currently studying
abroad in the Kingdom of Rubini.
01:07.310 --> 01:11.560
My dad told me to find
myself a good husband.
01:10.440 --> 01:12.450
NO WAY
01:11.560 --> 01:14.820
Honestly, I didn't think it was possible,
01:14.820 --> 01:19.450
but I ended up dating
Crown Prince Renato,
01:19.450 --> 01:22.050
and now I couldn't be happier!
01:22.750 --> 01:27.870
You could say I'm having
the greatest time of my life!
01:27.870 --> 01:30.630
Mimi, watch your step.
01:34.890 --> 01:36.990
Sorry.
01:39.810 --> 01:43.920
That's right. I shouldn't be celebrating.
01:44.560 --> 01:48.290
Aida hasn't been proposed to yet.
01:48.820 --> 01:53.820
Episode 9
01:48.820 --> 01:53.820
The One Who Got Away Plays Cupid
01:54.590 --> 01:57.580
What do you intend to do?
01:58.190 --> 02:00.200
Let's not talk about that.
02:02.880 --> 02:04.370
How can you say that?
02:05.000 --> 02:08.880
Placido, I know you're
in love with Lady Aida.
02:08.880 --> 02:09.880
What?
02:09.880 --> 02:16.510
And Duke Ametis would be delighted if his
daughter got engaged to the second prince.
02:16.510 --> 02:18.970
But I...
02:18.970 --> 02:21.780
But what?
02:21.780 --> 02:23.930
Is there something you
don't like about her?
02:23.930 --> 02:25.230
Of course not.
02:25.230 --> 02:26.860
Then why?
02:26.860 --> 02:29.590
Lady Aida is gentle and bright.
02:29.590 --> 02:31.620
What more could you ask for?
02:33.120 --> 02:35.860
Yes, I know.
02:37.540 --> 02:43.620
I know Prince Placido is
a sincere and wonderful man.
02:43.620 --> 02:45.100
Then why?
02:45.100 --> 02:49.080
It's your turn. I want you to be happy.
02:51.300 --> 02:56.550
Do you not like him anymore?
02:56.550 --> 02:57.620
Of course not.
02:58.050 --> 03:00.700
I love him very much.
03:05.170 --> 03:09.720
That's why I mustn't get in his way.
03:09.720 --> 03:12.440
What do you mean?
03:13.380 --> 03:17.100
Because I'm a wanton woman trying
to marry Prince Renato's brother
03:17.100 --> 03:22.580
the moment he called off our engagement.
03:22.580 --> 03:27.410
Wait. You didn't call off
the engagement, he did.
03:28.610 --> 03:31.380
I told her not to worry
03:31.380 --> 03:35.170
and that I'd knock out anyone
who says nasty things about her.
03:35.170 --> 03:37.290
Placido is the same.
03:37.290 --> 03:43.470
They say they want each other
to be happy while pulling away.
03:43.880 --> 03:46.800
It's so frustrating.
I can't take it anymore.
03:46.800 --> 03:51.900
I've thought about it, and
I think I understand how they feel.
03:51.900 --> 03:56.400
What? You're okay with
them not being happy?
03:56.400 --> 03:58.420
Lady Aida is right.
03:58.420 --> 04:02.540
For better or for worse, people pay
attention to the royals' behavior.
04:02.540 --> 04:08.070
Neither can bear the other being
bad-mouthed because of them.
04:08.070 --> 04:11.030
In reality, Lady Aida became ill
04:11.030 --> 04:15.750
when she was first
considered for crown princess.
04:17.270 --> 04:18.610
I remember that.
04:18.610 --> 04:21.440
When I was 12, Dad told me
a distant relative
04:21.440 --> 04:26.220
would be coming from Rubini
to recuperate with us.
04:29.980 --> 04:31.200
That girl...
04:31.200 --> 04:33.810
That must be Lady Aida.
04:34.770 --> 04:39.030
Lady Aida, I am Maria, fifth
daughter of Count Annovazzi.
04:39.030 --> 04:41.970
My specialty is Number 38.
04:43.650 --> 04:45.330
You're so pretty, Lady Aida.
04:45.330 --> 04:47.950
You look just like the princess
I saw in a picture book.
04:47.950 --> 04:49.120
Mimi.
04:49.120 --> 04:51.420
You're scaring Lady Aida.
04:51.420 --> 04:54.290
She's here to rest her mind and body.
04:54.290 --> 04:56.050
Don't intimidate her.
04:56.430 --> 04:59.390
Are you ill? What's wrong with you?
04:59.390 --> 05:00.300
Mimi!
05:01.080 --> 05:04.970
I haven't been sleeping well.
05:04.970 --> 05:06.500
Oh, I'm so sorry.
05:06.500 --> 05:10.230
There isn't a girl who sleeps more
soundly than me after practice.
05:11.430 --> 05:13.050
A girl?
05:15.730 --> 05:19.070
So Lady Aida thought you were a boy.
05:19.070 --> 05:24.050
Exactly. Perhaps it's because
I still wore my hair short back then.
05:24.050 --> 05:26.050
Uh, yeah...
05:26.050 --> 05:28.810
But we became friends right away.
05:28.810 --> 05:29.750
I'm sure you did.
05:29.750 --> 05:35.420
We went on long rides together,
cooked together, studied together,
05:35.420 --> 05:39.710
stayed up all night talking together,
and got in trouble together.
05:39.710 --> 05:43.470
I was so sad when Aida left.
05:44.730 --> 05:51.450
To me, Aida is a precious friend
who supported me while studying abroad.
05:51.450 --> 05:55.140
She taught me how to act like a lady.
05:55.140 --> 05:57.980
I really want her to be happy.
05:58.410 --> 06:03.990
So do I, but what should
we actually do about it?
06:03.990 --> 06:08.740
I invited them to today's dinner party,
but neither of them came.
06:09.210 --> 06:12.070
I think they're avoiding each other.
06:15.970 --> 06:18.930
Mimi, why are you in such a hurry?
06:18.930 --> 06:20.530
I'm out of breath.
06:20.940 --> 06:25.430
I forgot to do my homework.
Could you help me?
06:27.340 --> 06:30.720
I'll go get a pen and notebook.
06:37.200 --> 06:39.360
Is someone there?
06:42.440 --> 06:45.450
It's me, Placido.
06:46.130 --> 06:47.560
What are you doing here?
06:47.560 --> 06:51.150
Raimondo asked me
to organize the library.
06:51.150 --> 06:53.460
Where is Lord Raimondo?
06:54.080 --> 06:56.210
He said something came up.
07:00.450 --> 07:02.400
I can't hear anything.
07:02.400 --> 07:05.340
I can't find volume four
of this plant encyclopedia.
07:05.340 --> 07:08.560
I think that was on the other shelf.
07:08.560 --> 07:09.700
Thank you.
07:10.130 --> 07:13.480
Why are they organizing books?
07:13.480 --> 07:16.110
Mimi, you're there, aren't you?
07:16.520 --> 07:18.810
Will you help us, too?
07:23.970 --> 07:26.400
I didn't think they'd notice.
07:29.910 --> 07:32.130
Well, that's unfortunate.
07:32.130 --> 07:36.110
It sounds like Lady Aida had you beat.
07:36.110 --> 07:40.580
I'm stumped. I guess
we can't be indirect.
07:40.580 --> 07:42.090
Indirect?
07:42.090 --> 07:46.040
If setting up the perfect
situation doesn't work,
07:46.040 --> 07:48.590
we'll have to call in help.
07:49.040 --> 07:51.050
Help? From who?
07:51.050 --> 07:53.590
The queen, for example.
07:54.290 --> 07:58.810
Even they'd obey an order from the queen.
07:59.170 --> 08:01.770
Mimi, we can't do that.
08:01.770 --> 08:03.270
Why not?
08:04.050 --> 08:05.980
Because we'd be forcing them.
08:07.440 --> 08:10.440
Listening to the words of
a concerned mother is one thing,
08:10.440 --> 08:13.380
but obeying the commands
of a queen is no trivial matter.
08:13.380 --> 08:16.120
They would probably obey her,
08:16.960 --> 08:22.790
but would forcing them to face
each other make them happy?
08:26.560 --> 08:28.650
His Highness is right.
08:28.650 --> 08:32.430
I was only thinking about
getting them together.
08:32.780 --> 08:36.970
Ultimately, I was
ignoring their feelings.
08:36.970 --> 08:42.350
I know you care deeply for them,
but what's important is—
08:42.350 --> 08:44.680
It's not a decision
they can be told to make.
08:44.680 --> 08:46.960
They have to decide for themselves.
08:49.030 --> 08:53.530
BONK BONK BONK
08:49.030 --> 08:50.840
Oh, I'm so stupid, stupid, stupid.
08:50.840 --> 08:54.050
I wish I could knock
myself out with Number 38.
08:55.530 --> 09:00.070
Why not try talking to Lady Aida again?
09:00.070 --> 09:04.140
If she's unsure, you can
give her the push she needs,
09:04.140 --> 09:07.880
and if her decision is firm,
all you can do is watch over her.
09:09.850 --> 09:11.140
That's what I'll do.
09:12.760 --> 09:16.510
This is the chef's special cake.
09:17.000 --> 09:19.980
Take it to Lady Aida.
09:20.840 --> 09:22.890
Thank you, Lord Raimondo.
09:24.400 --> 09:25.860
Not at all.
09:26.200 --> 09:29.760
I hope it can be a conversation starter.
09:28.060 --> 09:36.070
Always a Catch!
09:38.580 --> 09:40.810
Aida, can I come in?
09:40.810 --> 09:41.870
Mimi?
09:43.400 --> 09:45.060
Were you studying?
09:45.060 --> 09:46.430
Just a bit.
09:46.770 --> 09:50.380
Hey, thanks for organizing the library.
09:50.380 --> 09:52.950
You came here just to say that?
09:52.950 --> 09:56.390
And to apologize.
09:57.050 --> 09:59.160
That's not necessary.
09:59.160 --> 10:02.610
I know you did that for me.
10:03.040 --> 10:06.020
Lord Raimondo gave me something sweet.
10:06.020 --> 10:07.810
It's a chestnut cake.
10:07.810 --> 10:09.200
Chestnut?
10:10.090 --> 10:12.130
Shall we have some, then?
10:17.220 --> 10:18.780
It's good.
10:18.780 --> 10:21.540
It really tastes like chestnuts.
10:21.540 --> 10:22.790
You're right.
10:25.450 --> 10:27.620
Do you not like it?
10:27.620 --> 10:31.260
No, I love it.
10:31.880 --> 10:35.650
I was just reminded of the past.
10:36.000 --> 10:37.300
The past?
10:38.170 --> 10:41.060
Would you like to hear it?
10:41.060 --> 10:43.310
I'll only tell you this story once.
10:44.570 --> 10:46.190
Of course.
10:46.190 --> 10:50.700
I was six years old when
I met Prince Placido.
11:02.890 --> 11:04.650
Hey, you.
11:05.870 --> 11:07.550
What are you doing?
11:07.550 --> 11:10.310
Those chestnuts don't belong to you.
11:11.920 --> 11:15.220
Who are you? What makes you say that?
11:15.220 --> 11:18.640
Because I'm related
to the owners of the tree.
11:18.640 --> 11:19.960
Who are you?
11:19.960 --> 11:24.140
Well, I'm related to the people
who pay for this tree.
11:26.080 --> 11:28.420
And you want them all to yourself?
11:28.420 --> 11:29.900
You're greedy.
11:29.900 --> 11:31.840
They're not just for me.
11:31.840 --> 11:34.820
And you're bossy.
11:34.820 --> 11:37.070
I'm not bossy.
11:37.070 --> 11:41.710
If I'm bossy, then you're
greedy and short-tempered.
11:48.750 --> 11:53.130
I don't like you. Go away, bossy.
11:53.130 --> 11:56.410
Here, bossy! You want chestnuts, right?
11:53.720 --> 11:54.940
Ow!
11:56.410 --> 11:58.300
Now go away!
11:56.410 --> 11:58.300
Stop that! Ow!
11:58.300 --> 11:59.890
Stop!
12:02.050 --> 12:04.720
I got angry because I felt
like he suddenly accused me
12:04.720 --> 12:05.890
of stealing the chestnuts.
12:05.890 --> 12:11.860
BONK
12:05.890 --> 12:11.860
BONK
12:05.890 --> 12:09.250
That's a bit different from
the story I heard before.
12:09.250 --> 12:11.860
I guess you used to be a tomboy, too.
12:11.860 --> 12:16.780
I was. I only seem ladylike now
because I studied so hard.
12:16.780 --> 12:18.620
I'm impressed.
12:21.280 --> 12:26.300
So, what did Prince Placido
say when you next met
12:26.300 --> 12:28.290
and he learned you're
the duke's daughter?
12:29.040 --> 12:31.080
He was surprised.
12:31.820 --> 12:36.050
That was probably the first time
anyone had told him to go away.
12:36.050 --> 12:40.180
Apparently. He told me about it
after we became friends.
12:43.330 --> 12:49.290
Duke Ametis told me you'll probably
be chosen to be my brother's fiancée.
12:50.080 --> 12:51.060
That's...
12:51.400 --> 12:54.310
Congratulations, future queen.
12:56.980 --> 13:01.870
Thank you, Your Highness.
13:03.470 --> 13:05.980
I'm sorry I'm the one escorting you.
13:06.330 --> 13:09.420
My brother's been so busy recently.
13:09.930 --> 13:13.450
I hope I'm not inconveniencing you.
13:13.450 --> 13:14.840
Not at all.
13:15.720 --> 13:19.840
We've been friends since
the chestnut incident, right?
13:21.480 --> 13:25.010
The chestnut incident?
You don't have to call it that.
13:27.940 --> 13:33.060
But ever since then, I knew
we'd be friends for a long time.
13:33.060 --> 13:34.980
My hunch was right.
13:42.140 --> 13:44.490
Oh, I'm sorry.
13:46.620 --> 13:52.630
Aida, I believe I know better
than anyone how kind you are.
13:52.630 --> 13:56.400
You always put others first.
13:56.400 --> 14:02.380
But couldn't you put
yourself first for once?
14:02.380 --> 14:04.690
Myself?
14:05.620 --> 14:08.980
Don't think about rumors,
your family's expectations,
14:08.980 --> 14:11.980
or Prince Placido's feelings.
14:11.980 --> 14:15.520
Think only about what you want to do.
14:16.000 --> 14:19.020
What I want to do?
14:19.020 --> 14:22.300
Yes. What do you want to do?
14:26.150 --> 14:28.520
What do I want to do?
14:32.000 --> 14:36.290
Maybe I shouldn't have said
those things to Aida yesterday.
14:36.290 --> 14:37.250
Mimi.
14:37.250 --> 14:39.130
Was I speaking out loud again?
14:39.130 --> 14:40.500
Yes, clearly.
14:41.550 --> 14:44.090
Aida, good news.
14:45.320 --> 14:48.970
Some sons of noblemen want to marry you.
14:50.820 --> 14:52.350
Father...
14:52.660 --> 14:55.980
Their families are decent enough,
14:55.980 --> 15:00.060
and they don't mind that your engagement
to Prince Renato was called off.
15:02.240 --> 15:04.350
Um, Duke Ametis...
15:04.350 --> 15:05.350
Mimi.
15:12.200 --> 15:15.710
Father, I appreciate
you looking out for me.
15:16.220 --> 15:18.790
May I think on it?
15:19.740 --> 15:24.210
Yes, of course.
Choose your husband carefully.
15:26.220 --> 15:27.460
Did you hear?
15:28.580 --> 15:29.460
Is it true?
15:29.460 --> 15:30.970
It can't be, right?
15:33.100 --> 15:36.850
Duke Ametis is sure to
throw in a dowry as well.
15:36.850 --> 15:38.660
This is a great idea.
15:38.660 --> 15:42.730
Lady Aida comes with a stain on her,
but she's still a promising prospect.
15:42.730 --> 15:45.790
And she'll feel indebted
to anyone who's willing to marry her.
15:45.790 --> 15:48.610
What a deal, right?
15:52.210 --> 15:53.740
How do you do?
15:57.860 --> 15:59.180
It's raining.
16:03.410 --> 16:05.130
Is it true?
16:05.130 --> 16:08.680
Yes, there's a duel.
Everyone's talking about it.
16:10.240 --> 16:12.760
Terrible news, Lady Aida.
16:12.760 --> 16:13.870
What?
16:18.410 --> 16:24.860
I, Placido du Rubini, challenge you
to a duel for my honor and life.
16:25.210 --> 16:29.990
Prince Placido challenged someone
to a duel for insulting you.
16:33.700 --> 16:35.990
He mustn't.
16:35.990 --> 16:41.340
Anyway, Duke Ametis found
new fiancés for her this morning.
16:41.830 --> 16:43.750
Terrible news, Prince Renato.
16:43.750 --> 16:46.460
What is it, Lord Raimondo?
16:46.460 --> 16:51.120
Wait, Your Highness. You must be joking.
16:51.120 --> 16:54.350
It's not as though I spoke poorly of you.
16:54.350 --> 16:57.640
A gentleman does not insult ladies.
16:57.640 --> 17:00.510
I've never seen Prince Placido
so angry before.
17:00.510 --> 17:02.420
Me neither.
17:03.980 --> 17:05.100
Please stop!
17:07.940 --> 17:09.110
Aida?
17:09.490 --> 17:14.950
I heard what happened,
but my dignity is my own.
17:14.950 --> 17:17.830
I don't need you to defend it.
17:18.410 --> 17:23.440
Regrettably, I intended
to decline your offer.
17:23.440 --> 17:29.960
But if you don't get married, won't
it tarnish your family's reputation?
17:29.960 --> 17:33.840
This isn't enough
to shake the Ametis family.
17:33.840 --> 17:35.810
Don't worry about us.
17:37.390 --> 17:38.770
B-But...
17:38.770 --> 17:41.790
Give it up. Don't say anything else.
17:43.760 --> 17:49.610
I appreciate your offer, but
please forgive me for declining.
17:58.700 --> 18:02.320
The rest of you, please
return to your classrooms.
18:15.320 --> 18:18.540
Your Highness, please sheath your sword.
18:25.500 --> 18:26.930
I'm pathetic.
18:28.440 --> 18:31.150
I thought I was defending you, too.
18:32.140 --> 18:34.640
I'm never strong enough.
18:35.540 --> 18:42.140
Your kindness has always encouraged me.
18:42.550 --> 18:43.970
Has it?
18:45.280 --> 18:46.290
In that case,
18:48.520 --> 18:52.190
I will defend you.
18:58.860 --> 19:01.140
You'll defend me?
19:01.140 --> 19:07.590
Yes. I've realized that what I want
to do is support and defend you.
19:08.190 --> 19:10.630
You mean...
19:12.220 --> 19:16.990
Yes. Please make me your wife.
19:18.050 --> 19:20.110
Oh, um...
19:20.990 --> 19:25.370
If you're all right with that, that is.
19:25.700 --> 19:27.640
Of course I am.
19:32.830 --> 19:34.670
Lady Aida Ametis,
19:36.250 --> 19:39.920
I swear to love you
until the end of my days.
19:40.510 --> 19:44.270
Please be my wife.
19:45.580 --> 19:47.680
I gladly accept.
19:56.650 --> 20:00.540
I can't believe Aida said
she wanted to defend him.
20:00.540 --> 20:01.860
Really?
20:02.600 --> 20:04.910
You're not?
20:04.910 --> 20:08.630
You said you and Lady Aida are friends.
20:09.400 --> 20:12.170
You must have something in common.
20:12.750 --> 20:15.760
I can finally report the news
to Father and Mother.
20:15.760 --> 20:16.940
What?
20:16.940 --> 20:20.820
They've been waiting for this, too.
20:27.330 --> 20:29.810
Your engagement has our approval.
20:29.810 --> 20:31.190
Congratulations.
20:32.040 --> 20:34.990
Thank you, Your Majesty.
20:35.550 --> 20:38.700
Thank you, Your Majesty.
20:38.700 --> 20:42.050
I was getting impatient, Placido.
20:42.050 --> 20:42.910
What?
20:43.410 --> 20:48.140
I was considering
ordering you to get married.
20:49.560 --> 20:50.830
Honey!
20:51.710 --> 20:52.950
Sorry.
20:53.840 --> 20:57.140
They remind me of when we were young.
20:57.140 --> 20:59.330
Oh, please.
21:06.740 --> 21:12.590
Mimi is always teaching me
the importance of courage.
21:14.370 --> 21:15.690
Aida.
21:16.600 --> 21:18.100
How do you feel?
21:20.270 --> 21:21.990
Better than yesterday.
21:21.990 --> 21:25.530
I bet. Your color has returned, too.
21:25.890 --> 21:27.740
Shall we go?
21:29.340 --> 21:32.670
What? But I can't.
21:32.670 --> 21:37.330
It's fine. Didn't you say
you wanted to try it?
21:37.330 --> 21:38.340
But...
21:38.340 --> 21:42.010
I promise it'll be fun. Be brave.
21:42.390 --> 21:45.500
Try it. I'll be with you.
21:50.870 --> 21:53.700
Thank you, Mimi.

Aida taught me about
the language of flowers.
23:29.780 --> 23:32.630
In the language of people,
Aida would mean lovely.
23:31.120 --> 23:32.240
SQUEEZE!!
23:32.630 --> 23:34.570
Prince Placido would be pure.
23:34.570 --> 23:37.640
Prince Renato would be... handsome?
23:35.040 --> 23:40.040
Next Time
23:35.040 --> 23:40.040
The One Who Got Away Prepares For a Ball
23:37.640 --> 23:40.000
Oh, no. I spoke my mind again.
