Oh..Anastasia's identity. Looks like she's actually taken on a new identity as a boy.

Yeah, this episode does show that Marie is more intuitive than she looks. She and Kyros were cute as hell this episode though lol

I was actually glad a little bit when they break off because that'd make the story more interesting, but they suddenly reverse that decision and go all the way... yeah, that way if you know what I mean.

Now I'm quite sad that Kyros is not a virgin anymore, at least on his front side, that means the other side is still waiting...

Anyway, could Anastasia have amnesia?

Wow, they actually did it. Most romance anime don't make it there, even after 3 seasons, lol.

I’ve just been skipping through the last couple of episodes because it’s been such an unnecessary drama slog. They just keep drawing out the reveal by making stupid decisions. Just send Mio to check on the apprentice.

I don't get the logic behind the thinking that if her sister is alive, then she need to gtfo... after all this time and she still think that? if she wants to go home then I will send her ass home

first they tried to get her sister to come, then she declined, and now all the sudden she showed up in their mansion, how interesting

Silly Marie causing her own drama by canceling the engagement, but at least she also reversed that before the end of the episode and it got us the hilarious reveal that best girl Mio was just doing loops near the castle until she's came to her senses. It also got us that scene of Marie and Kyros in bed together, which was kind of detail free here in the anime but I have to wonder if there was more to it in the source of material. Like, why and what they got up to.

I assume Anastasia showed up at the end thinking she was rescuing her sister from the cruel noble she was unwillingly betrothed to, little does she expect the diabetic cuteness she'll be forced to endure once she sees the two of them together.

I'm glad we finally got the Anastasia reveal and they didn't stretch that out until the very last episode.

I didn't need the 2 steps back drama, but I guess it could be seen as somewhat realistic. And we always thought Annastasia was alive. Still, for her to sneak in like that, was quite the risky move.

“I won’t lie to myself. I want you! Please give all of yourself to me” 😭. Ahhhh I love them sm I went from wanting to turn my tv off and throwing the remote to smiling so hard at the end of this episode. It was frustrating, but that’s how dealing with someone who’s been the victim of emotional and physical abuse for so long is. It’s not always a linear path to healing, there’s triggers and set backs and you just have to be patient. Kyros is the perfect man for Marie

BUUUUUT, I do agree with Mio that he was cowardly today. This was the first time I’ve ever wanted him to NOT respect Marie’s wishes and to go against what she says because he 1000 percent should’ve encouraged her to at least think things over thru the night. I’m not going to blame Marie too much for getting insecure and thinking Kyros might leave her for Anastasia, you have to remember she was told for like 20 years that her sister was better than her at everything and how worthless she is. It’s only natural you’d develop a severe insecurity complex. Part of Kyros’ development will need to be being more assertive and telling Marie what she needs to hear in situations like that.

WAIT THOSE LAST FEW MINS??? First, did they DO IT??! Or did Marie and Kyros just fall asleep together? Secondly, Anastasia showing up like that in the middle of the garden wtf?? I feel like the accident may have made her lose her memories, I think she may have genuinely developed the personality of a ruffian but we’ll see next week lol. It’s good to know she is alive and Marie finally has seen her at least.

Marie's changed so much for the better, poor Anastasia didn't even recognize her. :D

@Marinate1016 I wouldn't say going back. Rather, Marie has finally managed to overcome all the suppressed fears that were still holding her back, and truly accepted who she is and Kyros' love.

Honestly cannot blame Anastasia. I would assume those parents had basically sold her off against her will and go on a mission to rescue her too once I got the chance

There was so much drama these last 2 episodes that being honest Marie and Anastasia's reunion was a bit anti climatic but at least it happened, I was disliking how we would need to wait yet more episodes.

When you grow up hearing every single day untruths about yourself, you can internalize them. To Marie, Anastasia is the best, the most preferred, the one that anyone would want over her because that's what she's been taught. She has no value in herself and probably didn't fully believe any of Kyros' flirtations 100% because of this. It wouldn't surprise me if the people at school also treated her badly because the place she comes from likely believes in outdated superstitions and everyone Mio talked to when she was undercover didn't seem to like Marie much.

I grew up in a similar situation though all of this happened to me at school rather than home and even years after graduating, I'm still unlearning to think of myself in ways that was hammered into me during my formative years. Marie is lucky she's finding a community that doesn't view her in that way because I think having people who can point out the abuse you went through as a child is wrong, helps you overcome the lies ingrained into you by other people.

Ok im half liking of how the episode went but if you read the source material, the night scene they shared was more stretched out! had to bear the one step forward two steps back drama again but at least that's done now. trust me marie has overcomed her inner battles from here. damn they really keep maintaining smooth flow animation in this series, like that dance was pretty nice!

There's a line between drama and melodrama, this episode leaned heavily, disappointingly, into the latter.

What a retarded episode. Huge waste of my time. They have been teasing the sister being alive for half the season at this point. Just fucking get on with it.

If was just the reassurance that Kyros loves Marie, would be fine , romance after all. But causing all that stir of cancelling the wedding, and not at least going in person to check before going extremes, was too much, way too silly.

Hey, Anastacia really put the big boys pants, and gone what I believe , save her sister.

This episode drama didn't felt really convincing, rather forced. Like if I was one of the employees I would be really confused on why she is leaving?

This ep was a blast of cuteness and love and almost tragedy, i love that maybe the anime is not the best on music or in animation, but the essence is on the characters and the uniqueness of it, i really enjoyed how they love each other better than other romance anime i've seen fr tho >______<!!!

Kind of a waste of half of an episode. That was a whole lot of drama for no reason just to end the episode where it did. The whole scene of her running away then coming back should have been cut. Great episode otherwise.

My only guess about the sister, she never wanted to be royalty girl, and marry. from past episode, about her seemed tomboish

"The carriage is just moving around the castle."

If this was Mio's idea (again), then I don't understand why she isn't considered one of the best females this season yet x

Wtf they actually did it ijbol
