WEBVTT

00:04.620 --> 00:07.170
Your Majesty, watch out!

00:14.460 --> 00:19.810
<i>Who remembers the attack 
on the queen a little while ago?</i>

00:19.810 --> 00:22.080
<i>Well, we figured out what happened.</i>

00:22.080 --> 00:24.340
<i>We thought it was Lord Ireneo,</i>

00:24.340 --> 00:28.200
<i>but it was actually a woman 
in love with him named Lady Zaira.</i>

00:28.200 --> 00:32.060
<i>And her target wasn't the queen, but me.</i>

00:33.010 --> 00:37.160
I heard Lord Ireneo made 
advances on a young lady.

00:37.540 --> 00:42.070
I became incensed and thought 
I'd scare her a little.

00:42.540 --> 00:46.050
But I wasn't trying to kill anyone.

00:46.050 --> 00:50.670
That said, you went to Lord 
Ireneo's chambers with soldiers

00:50.670 --> 00:53.840
and advanced on Lady Maria 
with a letter opener.

00:53.840 --> 00:57.560
I... Yes, that's true.

00:57.560 --> 01:02.730
She was having fun with Lord Ireneo, 
and it made me so angry.

01:04.730 --> 01:07.380
I know my actions were foolish,

01:07.380 --> 01:14.370
but I thought Lord Ireneo would never 
see me again unless I did something.

01:14.370 --> 01:20.490
More than anything, I hated that he 
didn't believe how I feel about him.

01:20.870 --> 01:25.060
I'll deliver my report to Prince Renato.

01:30.010 --> 01:34.590
Tell him I'll accept any punishment.

01:36.280 --> 01:41.490
<i>I'm not grown up enough 
to understand their relationship,</i>

01:41.490 --> 01:43.890
<i>but I think Lady Zaira 
should reflect on her actions</i>

01:43.890 --> 01:46.570
<i>and be allowed to start over.</i>

01:46.570 --> 01:48.850
<i>Lord Ireneo, too.</i>

01:48.850 --> 01:52.830
<i>Wait, I don't have time 
to worry about them!</i>

01:52.830 --> 01:54.860
<i>The ball is starting!</i>

01:56.030 --> 02:01.040
<b>Episode 12</b>

01:56.030 --> 02:01.040
<b>How I Punched My Way into Marrying a Prince</b>

02:01.040 --> 02:05.350
Isn't Prince Renato's fiancée 
Duke Ametis' daughter?

02:05.350 --> 02:07.500
Apparently not.

02:07.500 --> 02:11.670
I've heard she's lovely 
in a completely different way.

02:12.120 --> 02:13.710
I wonder what she's like.

02:13.710 --> 02:17.430
I haven't seen her in person yet.

02:17.430 --> 02:20.280
I'm sure her beauty is unmatched.

02:20.280 --> 02:22.060
I'm excited to see her.

02:26.640 --> 02:31.400
Aida, my head is 
pounding for some reason.

02:31.400 --> 02:34.480
You'll be okay, Mimi. Have some water.

02:42.030 --> 02:43.410
That's the stuff.

02:43.410 --> 02:45.220
Wait, what time is it?

02:45.220 --> 02:47.750
I went out on the balcony, and then...

02:47.750 --> 02:49.900
You spotted a suspicious woman,

02:49.900 --> 02:54.870
got caught in a lover's quarrel 
between her and Lord Ireneo,

02:54.870 --> 02:57.550
and then went on a drunken rampage.

02:57.550 --> 02:58.950
No way!

03:00.700 --> 03:04.130
But now that you mention it, 
I sort of remember that...

03:07.620 --> 03:11.240
Aida, what about the ball? 
The first dance?

03:11.580 --> 03:13.230
It'll start shortly.

03:13.230 --> 03:15.280
Good.

03:15.280 --> 03:19.660
No, wait! What am I 
going to do? I'm a mess!

03:15.310 --> 03:19.660
<b>SHOCK</b>

03:19.660 --> 03:21.390
We'll handle it, Mimi.

03:21.390 --> 03:24.290
The Ametis family maids are exceptional.

03:24.290 --> 03:26.800
Allow us to help you!

03:34.840 --> 03:37.460
You're right, Aida.

03:37.460 --> 03:40.640
Your family's maids really are top-notch.

03:40.640 --> 03:42.430
You look lovely, Mimi.

03:42.430 --> 03:43.880
So do you.

03:44.800 --> 03:47.840
You look pale. Are you hungry?

03:48.350 --> 03:51.150
We've been busy all day,

03:51.150 --> 03:55.370
and then there was 
the incident with Lord Ireneo.

03:55.370 --> 03:57.650
You haven't eaten anything, have you?

03:59.070 --> 04:01.570
I'm fine. I'm not hungry.

04:02.540 --> 04:04.290
Then would you like some tea?

04:04.590 --> 04:08.080
Thank you, but I really am fine.

04:12.360 --> 04:15.170
I hardly recognize you, Mimi.

04:15.170 --> 04:16.610
Your Highness.

04:16.610 --> 04:22.180
I'm sorry for all the trouble 
and worry I caused.

04:22.180 --> 04:25.650
What's done is done. Raise your head.

04:31.190 --> 04:34.030
I'm glad I chose gold.

04:34.530 --> 04:36.690
You look great.

04:36.690 --> 04:42.280
<b>FLUSTERED</b>

04:36.690 --> 04:39.050
S-So do you.

04:39.050 --> 04:40.480
You look beautiful as well, Aida.

04:40.480 --> 04:42.280
Thank you.

04:42.280 --> 04:47.940
<i>Aida says I caused a ruckus, 
but I barely recall any of it.</i>

04:47.940 --> 04:55.000
<i>I remember dreaming about Prince 
Renato, but it was so improper!</i>

04:55.000 --> 05:00.010
<b>SQUEE</b>

04:55.000 --> 05:00.010
<b>SQUEE</b>

04:56.110 --> 04:58.740
<i>I can hardly believe myself!</i>

04:57.550 --> 05:00.490
My apologies. Were you eating?

05:00.490 --> 05:02.260
Oh, actually...

05:03.640 --> 05:08.400
I thought Aida... could nibble on...

05:09.640 --> 05:19.280
<b>HMPH</b>

05:09.640 --> 05:12.510
Why are you feeding me?!

05:12.510 --> 05:16.480
We'll be too busy to eat 
once the ball starts.

05:16.480 --> 05:19.280
I figured you should eat while you can.

05:19.280 --> 05:21.480
You'll ruin my lipstick.

05:21.480 --> 05:24.160
Your lipstick? I see.

05:25.570 --> 05:28.280
Forgive me, milady.

05:28.280 --> 05:30.160
Force of habit.

05:30.160 --> 05:32.920
<b></b>BA-DUMP

05:34.410 --> 05:36.670
Pardon me for interrupting.

05:36.670 --> 05:39.870
All the guests have arrived.

05:39.870 --> 05:42.380
Could I ask you to come to the ballroom?

05:42.380 --> 05:43.300
Of course.

05:43.730 --> 05:46.760
<i>Thanks to the prince, I feel stronger.</i>

05:47.740 --> 05:49.180
<i>It's time.</i>

05:49.520 --> 05:52.340
<i>I'll show off the fruits of my practice!</i>

06:03.400 --> 06:05.450
That's a lot of people.

06:05.750 --> 06:10.900
I think this might be the biggest party 
we've attended since you arrived.

06:11.930 --> 06:14.250
It's so noisy.

06:15.560 --> 06:18.800
Nobles love gossip.

06:25.740 --> 06:28.290
No matter what anyone says, 
don't let it bother you.

06:28.650 --> 06:31.890
Anyway, let's go over the program.

06:31.890 --> 06:35.190
First, the king will greet the guests.

06:35.190 --> 06:40.330
After that, the curtains will open, 
and we'll make our appearance...

06:35.190 --> 06:36.400
Have you heard?

06:36.400 --> 06:41.820
Of course. They say Lady Aida 
dumped one prince for another.

06:44.300 --> 06:48.880
I'm surprised Prince Placido 
accepted his brother's leftovers.

06:48.880 --> 06:52.520
Her engagement to Prince Renato 
was just called off.

06:52.520 --> 06:54.920
Young people are so quick to move on.

06:54.920 --> 07:00.480
They say the crown princess to be, 
Lady Maria, is eccentric as well.

07:00.480 --> 07:06.970
She must be quite the seductress 
to steal the prince from Lady Aida.

07:06.970 --> 07:12.650
Muro is too small a kingdom 
for this to be a political marriage.

07:13.770 --> 07:19.610
<i>We've done nothing to be ashamed of, 
so I don't care what anyone says.</i>

07:20.450 --> 07:25.420
<i>I swore I'd protect 
Prince Placido, and yet...</i>

07:26.520 --> 07:28.250
<i>I'm trembling.</i>

07:29.860 --> 07:33.150
<i>I haven't slept since yesterday 
because worst-case scenarios</i>

07:33.150 --> 07:35.590
<i>keep running through my head.</i>

07:36.000 --> 07:38.650
Just do as we practiced.

07:38.650 --> 07:40.790
Don't worry about a thing.

07:41.380 --> 07:46.810
<i>Despite saying that to her, 
I'm having a harder time acting normal.</i>

07:50.320 --> 07:51.800
Aida.

07:52.760 --> 07:55.560
Will you cover for me if I mess up?

07:59.480 --> 08:01.270
<i>Her hand is warm.</i>

08:02.460 --> 08:04.600
If anything happens, I'll support you.

08:04.600 --> 08:06.160
Your Highness...

08:07.070 --> 08:10.280
<b>SO CHEERY!</b>

08:07.170 --> 08:09.600
Come on. You, too, Prince Renato.

08:08.100 --> 08:09.600
Say something, Brother.

08:12.340 --> 08:16.330
Lady Aida, if there's 
anything I can do for you...

08:19.570 --> 08:21.270
Thank you.

08:21.270 --> 08:24.040
I've taken your words to heart.

08:24.650 --> 08:26.350
I'm fine now.

08:28.310 --> 08:30.740
After all, I'm not alone.

08:32.050 --> 08:40.060
<b>Always a Catch!</b>

08:46.380 --> 08:51.910
First, I'd like to thank 
all of you for coming.

08:51.910 --> 08:58.340
My sons will become officially engaged 
to their sweethearts on this special day.

08:58.340 --> 09:01.250
I invite you to celebrate with me.

09:01.250 --> 09:07.710
I present Second Prince Placido and 
his princess to be, Lady Aida Ametis

09:08.020 --> 09:16.220
and Crown Prince Renato and crown 
princess to be Lady Maria Annovazzi.

09:24.630 --> 09:28.070
Prince Renato is as beautiful as ever.

09:28.070 --> 09:30.200
That's Lady Maria?

09:30.200 --> 09:32.980
I heard she's from the countryside.

09:32.980 --> 09:37.490
Doesn't Muro have nothing but 
mountains and farming villages?

09:37.490 --> 09:39.820
I've never seen her at a ball before.

09:39.820 --> 09:43.080
I hear she's a master of... 
martial arts, I believe it's called.

09:43.080 --> 09:46.610
Arts? Oh, so she's an excellent dancer?

10:13.330 --> 10:15.430
How elegant.

10:15.430 --> 10:20.080
Prince Placido leads so gently, 
and Lady Aida dances so beautifully.

10:20.080 --> 10:22.250
I'd expect no less from her.

10:24.190 --> 10:27.500
How's the other couple doing?

10:39.810 --> 10:42.430
<i>His Highness is incredible.</i>

10:42.430 --> 10:44.770
<i>He makes me want to jump for joy.</i>

10:45.190 --> 10:47.330
<i>He's quick to match my movements.</i>

10:57.940 --> 11:03.450
<i>Every time I step in time with 
the music, he's all I can see.</i>

11:04.740 --> 11:09.190
<i>No, I have to be refined, 
just like we practiced...</i>

11:11.500 --> 11:13.100
<i>but this is just so fun!</i>

11:16.010 --> 11:17.540
How lovely.

11:17.540 --> 11:19.790
It's so beautiful.

11:22.920 --> 11:24.910
<i>I knew Mimi could do it.</i>

11:25.220 --> 11:29.270
<i>She captivated the skeptical guests 
in the blink of an eye.</i>

11:29.770 --> 11:33.840
All the frosty guests 
instantly warmed up to her.

11:33.840 --> 11:38.130
It's almost enough 
to distract us from our dancing.

11:38.530 --> 11:42.130
My brother was right about her all along.

11:42.470 --> 11:44.450
You're right.

11:44.920 --> 11:49.990
You're the right woman 
for the position, Mimi.

11:50.330 --> 11:52.790
You'll become a queen loved by all.

12:03.650 --> 12:05.540
Incredible.

12:07.230 --> 12:12.230
I'm so pleased to see 
everyone applaud them.

12:13.260 --> 12:14.870
I'm glad to hear that.

12:14.870 --> 12:16.330
We're honored.

12:16.970 --> 12:20.220
I can't believe she danced so elegantly.

12:21.700 --> 12:24.090
She must've practiced a ton.

12:24.090 --> 12:27.410
Yeah, until her feet were bleeding.

12:27.410 --> 12:29.500
She's so pretty.

12:31.870 --> 12:33.100
What?!

12:33.520 --> 12:34.500
Oh, my.

12:34.500 --> 12:38.050
Let me see. Whoa, her face is sparkling!

12:38.050 --> 12:40.840
What? Is it just me, or is she slimmer?

12:40.840 --> 12:44.460
No, she's just in love!

12:44.460 --> 12:47.520
Hey, don't push!

12:47.520 --> 12:50.500
Teo? Guys?

12:51.340 --> 12:53.300
Surprise.

12:53.300 --> 12:54.870
You arranged this?

12:56.290 --> 12:57.880
Thank you.

13:04.110 --> 13:06.700
Lord Raimondo, you knew, didn't you?

13:06.700 --> 13:09.110
Yes, of course.

13:14.310 --> 13:18.390
Your Majesty, we'd love 
for you to visit Muro.

13:18.390 --> 13:21.420
Then perhaps I shall.

13:21.420 --> 13:28.260
Lord Teodorico, I hope you'll 
study abroad here once you're older.

13:28.260 --> 13:31.060
Thank you, Lady Aida.

13:31.390 --> 13:34.650
Everyone loves these peach tarts.

13:34.650 --> 13:39.390
Father procured vegetable juice 
since we heard you like it.

13:39.390 --> 13:43.430
Rubini's vegetable juice is delicious.

13:43.430 --> 13:45.740
Really? I'll have some.

13:46.310 --> 13:49.220
That's good. More!

13:49.570 --> 13:52.000
You can take your time.

13:52.540 --> 13:53.870
Mimi.

13:55.300 --> 13:57.280
Are you having fun?

13:57.280 --> 13:59.760
Of course, Your Majesty.

14:02.950 --> 14:09.500
Before, Renato thought only of 
sacrificing himself to help this kingdom.

14:10.700 --> 14:16.650
When we heard he'd found a fiancée 
on his own, we were astonished.

14:18.690 --> 14:23.240
I think it was the first time 
he'd ever chosen something himself.

14:18.690 --> 14:20.670
Don't drink too much.

14:24.240 --> 14:31.430
Placido is a kind boy, 
but it can make him meek.

14:27.320 --> 14:28.320
Here.

14:28.810 --> 14:31.460
Why, thank you.

14:31.460 --> 14:33.040
Lucky you.

14:33.040 --> 14:35.630
He probably kept 
his feelings for Aida hidden

14:34.330 --> 14:35.630
I don't get one?

14:35.630 --> 14:39.190
because he knew Renato was suffering.

14:36.330 --> 14:37.730
They're only for ladies.

14:39.960 --> 14:41.090
Yes.

14:41.090 --> 14:48.190
So I'm delighted I saw both my sons 
looking so happy at the ball

14:48.690 --> 14:52.770
and to welcome two adorable 
brides into the family.

14:53.560 --> 14:55.400
I hope you'll stick around 
for years to come.

14:55.960 --> 14:58.980
As do I.

14:59.290 --> 15:00.900
Your Majesty!

15:02.100 --> 15:03.840
Have some flowers!

15:07.460 --> 15:12.730
Thank you, Teo! 
You'll be one of my favorites, too!

15:17.840 --> 15:22.300
Ireneo will be confined 
to our aunt's home for some time.

15:22.300 --> 15:26.250
Won't Lady Zaira be 
confined to hers as well?

15:26.660 --> 15:29.410
Will they never see each other again?

15:29.410 --> 15:33.310
No, Ireneo is kind to women.

15:33.620 --> 15:35.060
I'm sure he's got a plan.

15:50.680 --> 15:54.010
Anyway, Mimi, may I have your ear?

15:54.010 --> 15:56.310
What is it?

15:58.580 --> 16:00.850
I felt anxious.

16:00.850 --> 16:02.510
About our engagement?

16:02.510 --> 16:04.630
No, not that.

16:05.160 --> 16:07.300
About becoming crown prince.

16:09.300 --> 16:16.020
Ever since I was born, I think 
I knew I was different from others.

16:16.890 --> 16:21.960
I realized being wise and healthy 
made everyone happy.

16:22.440 --> 16:26.610
Their happiness made me happy,

16:26.610 --> 16:31.460
so I've done my best 
to be wise and healthy.

16:31.870 --> 16:35.080
I know how you feel.

16:38.320 --> 16:42.750
Well done, Mimi. 
You've mastered Number 36 already.

16:43.410 --> 16:46.270
The Annovazzi family is in good hands.

16:47.110 --> 16:49.280
I felt the same way.

16:49.280 --> 16:53.770
Everyone's expectations were 
the reason for my effort.

16:53.770 --> 16:56.330
Did you ever feel anxious?

16:56.330 --> 16:57.220
What?

16:57.220 --> 17:01.370
Perhaps this will make you dislike me,

17:01.370 --> 17:05.520
but sometimes, I felt anxious.

17:06.150 --> 17:11.360
I wasn't sure I was 
living up to expectations.

17:11.710 --> 17:16.230
But you're always thinking 
about everyone else.

17:17.470 --> 17:19.040
I hope so.

17:19.040 --> 17:24.260
Fine. If you ever feel anxious, ask me.

17:24.260 --> 17:25.880
I'll give you an answer.

17:25.880 --> 17:27.340
An answer?

17:27.340 --> 17:32.890
Yes. I'll say you're the best 
as many times as necessary.

17:32.890 --> 17:37.600
And even if you're not, 
we can work towards it together.

17:40.120 --> 17:45.380
Come to think of it, becoming 
crown prince has made me anxious,

17:45.380 --> 17:47.870
but I've only experienced regret once.

17:47.870 --> 17:49.850
About what?

17:49.850 --> 17:53.040
Meeting you at the academy party.

17:53.040 --> 17:58.490
What? That mistake traumatized you, 
the otherwise perfect man?

17:59.590 --> 18:00.950
No.

18:01.930 --> 18:05.460
I thought I'd be late 
to the graduation party.

18:05.460 --> 18:10.800
I don't know how 
to thank you for your help.

18:10.800 --> 18:12.300
Don't worry about it.

18:12.300 --> 18:15.460
I know. Why don't you visit my home?

18:15.460 --> 18:17.220
My father would be delighted.

18:18.720 --> 18:21.220
I hear Baron Casciari is a busy man.

18:21.220 --> 18:22.590
Where is he this week?

18:22.590 --> 18:24.620
I'll have to ask him.

18:26.620 --> 18:29.670
Lord Renato is with Lady Eleonora again.

18:29.670 --> 18:34.110
Are the rumors he's not getting 
along with Lady Aida true?

18:35.550 --> 18:40.570
Have you heard? 
She can't stand the sight of me.

18:44.570 --> 18:48.130
See? Lady Aida is glaring at me now.

18:49.750 --> 18:55.220
I knew Placido loved her, and yet...

18:55.760 --> 19:01.750
for a moment, I regretted 
having to call off our engagement.

19:02.390 --> 19:05.310
And the rest is history.

19:05.310 --> 19:06.900
Yes, I remember.

19:06.900 --> 19:08.900
Lady Aida Ametis.

19:12.620 --> 19:16.650
I, Renato di Rubini, first prince 
of the Kingdom of Rubini,

19:16.650 --> 19:21.160
hereby call off our engagement.

19:22.760 --> 19:26.880
In that moment, I envied Placido

19:26.880 --> 19:31.200
for loving such a charming woman 
who loved him back.

19:31.200 --> 19:33.190
I-I'm not...

19:33.540 --> 19:37.490
Since that moment, 
I've only had eyes for you.

19:37.490 --> 19:39.800
All's well that ends well.

19:39.800 --> 19:42.570
I'm not Aida,

19:42.570 --> 19:49.230
and thanks to you, I had that 
delicious steak and got to know you.

19:51.260 --> 19:53.740
May I complain about one thing?

19:54.360 --> 19:58.610
Not as the crown prince, 
but as Renato di Rubini.

19:59.590 --> 20:01.620
Y-Yes.

20:02.020 --> 20:07.470
I've been calling you 
Mimi instead of Maria,

20:07.470 --> 20:11.490
but why do you still 
call me Prince Renato?

20:11.490 --> 20:15.060
What? Uh, I don't know.

20:15.060 --> 20:17.090
Just because, I guess?

20:17.090 --> 20:19.580
I don't want you to call me that anymore.

20:17.380 --> 20:18.590
<b>HMPH</b>

20:18.880 --> 20:20.050
<b>HMPH</b>

20:19.580 --> 20:20.590
What?

20:20.590 --> 20:26.360
Um, in other words, you want me 
to call you... Renato?

20:26.360 --> 20:27.400
Yes.

20:27.400 --> 20:31.600
But it'd be brazen not to use your title.

20:31.600 --> 20:33.610
Even though we're engaged?

20:35.910 --> 20:40.550
Do you remember saying you'd 
do anything at Navarro Village?

20:41.610 --> 20:43.570
<b>WAAAH</b>

20:41.610 --> 20:43.570
<b>{WAAAH</b>

20:42.560 --> 20:43.950
I'm sorry!

20:43.950 --> 20:47.500
I'll do anything! Please forgive me!

20:47.500 --> 20:50.570
I believe Raimondo recorded that.

20:50.570 --> 20:52.660
Shall we have him check the record?

20:52.660 --> 20:53.910
Yes, sir.

20:53.910 --> 20:57.290
Stay out of our hair today.

21:01.140 --> 21:05.830
I'll do my best, Prince Re... Renato.

21:06.510 --> 21:08.950
I'm sorry, I didn't hear that.

21:08.950 --> 21:10.770
R-Renato.

21:11.630 --> 21:13.020
Renato!

21:13.020 --> 21:14.270
Again.

21:14.270 --> 21:16.770
Renato!

21:16.770 --> 21:20.910
Hearing you call my name so 
many times feels exquisite.

21:21.830 --> 21:24.280
I knew you could hear me!

Do you remember what I said to you 
during your visit back home?

22:53.830 --> 22:58.040
You were worried I couldn't 
get used to life in Rubini.

22:58.040 --> 23:04.650
Prince Renato invited me to visit, 
and I spoke directly with the king.

23:04.650 --> 23:08.510
After I named Teodorico my heir,

23:08.510 --> 23:13.330
I told you to find a promising catch.

23:13.330 --> 23:14.330
Yes.

23:14.330 --> 23:18.770
And you did exactly as I asked.

23:18.770 --> 23:25.010
You may have lost much, 
but you gained even more.

23:31.470 --> 23:33.240
I couldn't agree more.
