A new life for Marie! Not everyone likes her but Kyros adores her and he's the reason she's in this position.

Feels like they want her to really adapt to her new life and build an important relationship with Kyros. It's a lot to take in so give it time.

Marie and Kyros at the end were literally about to kill me I love them so fucking much 😍 especially the way Kyros knows Marie isn’t being honest completely and he tries to reassure her that he will do ANYTHING to make her happy. She didn’t get that way overnight, so it won’t change overnight, but it’s a great start and as long as Kyros stays patient and continues to encourage her to share how she feels, they’ll be fine.

Dropping this.
I have an Insanely short fuse so when Marie is
Incapable of telling Kyros about the Maids
Behaviour I get more angry at her than at the maids.

Not only that but the facial expressions Marie
Makes should be enough for Kyros to tell something is wrong yet ignores this.

Big applaud to Kyros who completely suppress his sexual desire when he's in front of Marie, you could tell when he's away from home that he has such a horny face when thinking about her.

Talking about Kyros, I notice that he has different character design between LN and manga, the anime is likely to be based on manga design, but I have no problem because all designs are hot.

Now Marie, I know she's still in traumatic phase after her cruel childhood, and if she's a real person then I don't want to rush the healing process, but since this is fiction, I hope she can shine the earlier the better, I don't want to wait until episode 12 to see her shine.

I wonder if the maids are a test for Marie to learn more about her previous living situation and her reactions to similar behavior and to also get her to be "stronger"

Or maybe they're just straight up assholes

AWWWW everything was so sweet except for the two maids, though, I have a feeling they were just acting. Most likely that Kyros's friend ordered them to check whether Marie was the right girl for him or not.

The Shiritori segment was so lovely omg I fell in love with Kyros. Marie was also really cute. She is sooo pretty!!

"Oh I see, so you like kissing..." haha xD honestly, Kyros deserves a big appreciation because he keeps trying to prove his sincerity and love for Marie by making her feel safe and comfortable. You know, Marie wouldn't be this relaxed with anyone else at first.. but then she laughed and almost poured her heart out to him :")

I thought that Marie might be too traumatized by her parents that she was imagining Ilza and Hannah were making fun of her. Well, her instincts were right.

I really want to know what will Kyros do when he finds out. He's going to hang them like chandeliers, probably.
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!

Nice episode. Marie is truly a gem. Of course it’s going to take some time to get acclimated to this kid of life after she’s been mistreated for as long as she can remember.

She remains optimistic that she can get along with the two maids that have been assigned to her. Even though they are giving off the negative same vibe that she’s all too familiar with.

I’m looking forward to the next episode with her interacting with Johan in the vegetable garden. Just because she has a new title, she still a humble and hard worker. That’s quite admirable.

Yes, ma'am! No worries, I like this story



Yeah... This happens when you're not paying attention. You'll lose your coffee/tea



Little cute drawings of the characters. That's all you need to do in anime for me to be hooked

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

I've been thinking the same thing, they seem more displeased with her after she *doesn't* scold them, though I don't think her new house and the people in it would do that to her...

excited to see the culmination of this either way

I must say that the yellow dress was so pretty, I usually don't like royal dresses and etc. but that one was super cute, so far the castle is full of kind people but there are those two maids, I imagined they were ordered to behave like that but I'm more inclined to believe they are simply jerks as time goes by.

I mean, i loved the episode. It was so sweet, especially the pre-ending scene with Marie and Kyros playing word-chains, was the cutest most adorable thing ever. They're both so lovey dovey that it makes one kinda wanna Talon E outta his window, but nevermind, haha.

Kyros and Marie aside, I honestly can’t understand anything about Hannah and Ilza. Are they acting that way on purpose? Or is it some kind of inside plan that both Kyros and Mio are in on, meant to help Marie build confidence and start being more blunt? No clue, but hopefully, we’ll find out soon enough.

You gotta be kidding me? that's how the maids act? what's up with Hannah and Ilza anyway? too bad Marie too chicken shit to tell anyone about their behavior, I really hope somehow they will be gone. I can't believe Mio didn't know or didn't do anything about it. At least Marie and Kyros share some sweet moment together

Yeah, I'm guessing that the two snarkmaids are part of Mama's plan to make Marie suitable as Kyros' bride. Their general approach is very much what would be expected from snobbish central nobles that Marie would have to deal with going forward, but there were several moments where they gave each other far different looks, concerned even, when she didn't stand up to their behavior.

Mio, on the other hand, is just the local tyrant that not even the Duke wants to mess with. lol. The ending card was perfect.

I think this is the first time I've heard rooibos mentioned in an anime. 🤔

And yeah, I suspect those maids are acting that way to try and make Marie more demanding. From the preview it looks like it'll be resolved next episode.

I genuinely didn't think this would end up one my favorite anime of the season. It actually took me until this week to start watching the episode since I had super low expectations.

Her not standing up for herself against these two maids bothers me a lot, my God, what a annoying girl, I hope she evolves quickly as a person and stops thinking she's such a poor thing, let's see where this ends.

Last part with the shirtori was admittedly cute. Warmed my frozen heart a little bit. Marie still has some growing, but I believe that she'll get there. I really do like that she's at least been able to enjoy herself every now and then not just for like a few seconds, but for the most part people are treating her okay and she can probably have a nice time as long as she doesn't bother with those maids.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

Honestly, I’m not really the right person to comment on josei anime. What do you want me to say? “Kiros and Mary playing word-chain was so cute!” or “The chef burst into tears, oh my god!” or “The two maids who think the world revolves around them”? I don’t know what to say, so let’s move on to the next episode!

Men, please listen. As the oldest daughter, I speak for all oldest daughters, the only thing women want are men like the prince. Women do not like alpha males. Someone who falls head over heels for us.
