Cinderella Monogatari Episode 10 - THE SAD VIOLINIST

Episode Summary: 

Zaral is determined to arrange a marriage between his daughter, Isabel, and prince Charles. Zaral is determined to arrange a marriage between his daughter, Isabel, and prince Charles. On the prince's birthday, he invites all the eligible young ladies of the kingdom to a ball in the castle. Charles has no intention of being present for this, and his page, Alex, takes his place wearing a mask. Cinderella's stepsisters are in a state of great agitation as they "dress to the nines" so as to catch the attention of the prince. Catherine then orders Cinderella to accompany her to the castle in case her hair should need a bit of touch up after their arrival. Outside the castle, while Cinderella waits in the carriage for her stepsisters, she meets a most peculiar violinist named Nicolas, who is sad because he is in love with a girl from a higher social class, whom he will obviously never be able to marry. Charles suddenly shows up on his way to check how Alex is making out in his shoes and then assures Nicolas that love is strong enough to overcome all obstacles,and therefore,not to worry. At the ball, Zaral asks the fake prince to take off his mask and tell Isabel how much he loves her. In a state of acute embarrassment, Alex doesn't know what to do.... Fortunately, the fairy godmother's magic saves the day, permitting Charles to switch places with Alex and remove the mask, but ( much to the dismay of Isabel and her father) he does not declare his love, and then leaves the ballroom.
