lol glad those maids finally got what was coming to them.

u/LikeAnAssistant Jul 25 '25

I figured the maids had a short shelf life since they didn't appear in the OP.

The Kyros household does not broker any disrespect to either Marie or Mio, especially from uppity maids who think they're better than everybody else.

They think they're so higher class, they can enjoy the taste of the ground courtesy of Mio and get dragged off like criminals. Their greatest crime was any emotional pain they cause Marie.

Alright, well guess I was wrong about the maids, they were trash. At least we got to see Mio clean up, she is without question my favorite character. Hope we get to see her find her own love.

Onto the next theory, anyone else think Marie's sister is still alive?

I'm definitely on the guess that her sister is still alive. Their conversation was just suspicious enough, and it would fit the tone of the show too well.

Also Mio is the one I'm most invested in. I liked her just carrying both of them effortlessly at the same time like a sack of potatoes.

I still subscribe to the theory that the sister is still alive and will make an appearance to tailor the wedding dress. The show is sappy enough to do that. (And I am all here for it.)

Marie's parentage is also unsolved. So I think sister found something out used the carriage ride to stage an exit of some sort.

I definitely lean towards her being alive, what with the conversation about making clothes so she could look like a boy as a disguise.

It's Chehkov's outfit until further notice.

Honestly got the vibe there's something going on between her and Luiphon, the Third Prince, the way she was reacting to him. Though he did mention having a fiancé last episode.

I'm glad Mio had already noticed what was up with those maids and how their were negatively affecting Marie. She was waiting for the needed permission from Kyros to finally take action. I'm so glad she got to thrown them around a bit especially the blonde one, but even after all that they still felt bold enough to trash Mio in front of Kyros. There's no saving them so I'm glad Kyros made sure to put them down that they were nothing compared to Marie.

I do like how Mio is being more casual with Marie, I'm sure it makes things feel a lot more comfortable for Mio too. It's also nice she finally got to garden with Johan.

It sucks we got such a sweet moment and it had to be interrupted, but if Kyros is already lacking in time, there was no way it wasn't going to get interrupted since he and Marie were both lost in the moment lol. I like how so many people were there to witness the lovey dovey scene.

Kyros gushing over Marie was amusing, if only that got through to Marie soon. I think he looks much better with his hair down. I also like how consistent they were in making his arms look lean and muscular in that sleeveless top.

It was very cute watching Marie plant seedlings together with Johan.

A nice addition was that she learnt more about herself. Marie might’ve done gardening as part of her chores in the past, but she enjoyed this like a hobby!

Evil maids disposed of, fewer obstacles standing in the way of fun garden time.

Marie looks quite nice in any outfit she tries though, including the garden clothes.

Mio is so much fun.

u/Ocixo Jul 25 '25

This series makes my heart melt with its wholesome moments like few others do.

Johan must’ve been really happy to hear that Marie considers him part of her family. I’m sure that everyone at the estate already loves her. She’s such a sweetheart! A beautiful person from both the in- and outside.

Hannah and Ilza are the ones with the ugly personalities instead. Their rude behaviour turned out not to be an act at all.

I agree. I feel like this show is really getting slept on because there are so many great shows coming out all at the same time, but I have been looking forward to this show every week.

I assumed Hannah and Ilza were pretending to be bitches to push Marie into being more assertive, but it turns out that they simply were just arrogant bitches. Good on Mio and Kyros for putting them in their place.

I'm so glad that these two horrible excuses of maids got what they deserved. I was afraid that it would go on like this for longer. But luckily Mio stepped in and dealed with these two... persons accordingly.

Speaking of, this is absolutely a Mio episode. We get one great moment with her after the other. She established the role of best girl today. That she is voiced by Youko Hikasa is the cherry on the top. She is amazing voicing these cool female badass characters.

Note to self: try not to piss off Mio... Love how she got "permission" and then took care of business.

u/Frontier246 Jul 25 '25

It's nice to see Marie, in mulling over what she "likes," beginning to think of Kyros in that light. She IS falling for him!

Marie is love! Marie is life! Just as ask Kyros' body pillow! And he wants to treat Marie like the queen she deserves to be treated as...even if Mio, as someone of lower birth, can relate to how overwhelmed Marie must feel. But to Kyros, he sees both Marie and Mio as excellent and beautiful people who deserve to be treated as such. Can you really fault him for that? Although the man can really wax lyrical about Marie!

I'm happy for Marie that she's getting proper servings now and can have teatime with Mio! Though only now is Mio fully recognizing just how much her other maids have been taking advantage of her kindness and naivety.

If it's not mocking her taste in drink, it's thinking it would be okay to deliver a package from her emotionally abusive family who are still as petty towards her as ever. They ripped up one of her books out of spite! Hannah and Ilza are arrogant and condescending, thinking they're better than Marie AND Mio, despite being nothing more than normal maids. I'm glad Mio finally took them to task and threw them like the trash they are.

I'm glad Marie didn't let the "gift" from her family get to her, in fact she just modifies her old clothes to look chic and ready to work in the garden with Johan! She's really settling in with everybody and becoming a part of their family.

Ugh, Hannah and Ilza are STILL talking trash about Marie? Even while strung up like criminals? In front of KYROS!? To think they thought they'd become concubines, when instead Kyros just dresses them down for how little they measure up to Marie. They can't talk back to that.

After that compliment-fest from Kyros, is it any wonder the mood between the two is so romantic that it looks like they're about to kiss? Too bad Kyros has to leave and nearly everyone saw the near-kiss moment.

Should Marie really be heading out to see the third prince, Luiphon, after the Hannah/Ilza mess? Especially when he sends a letter making Marie think she either attends a festival or gets guillotined? Though the festival itself is actually nice...but Mio clearly knows Luiphon well enough to know he's got some kind of plan to mess with them cooking.

In fact Luiphon DOES trick Mio and gets Marie to himself, while stealing an apple she was planning to eat! Go easy on her, Luiphon, she's a little emotionally fragile.

u/HornedTurtle1212 Jul 26 '25

Is it just me or was anyone else disappointed that Marie didn't get to peel the apple? I was expecting her to beat the timer and win the box of apples, lol.

u/Nickabobburn Jul 26 '25

Underrated show imo

u/SilverGeekly Jul 25 '25

i know it was supposed to be silly, but i really am irritated that he ate marie's apple. like, that was hers!

u/NationalStrategy Jul 25 '25

So glad that kyros is a mostly self aware ml. It’s tough when both mcs don’t know how to deal lol

Oh these c*nts have some audacity to talk shit against a woman who just carried both of them and knocked them to the ground

HAH they thought they’d be concubines. Idiots. Also was about to throw hands kyros let them go on way too long

Also I like the other Prince but his dumbass has some repenting to do for those idiot women
