Cinderella Monogatari Episode 19 - LET'S GET RID OF THOSE BANDITS

Episode Summary:

Duke Zaral is irritated by local gossip..... It seems that Cinderella's stepmother has made it widely known that the duke himself will see to it that one of (her) two daughters will become the prince's bride. The Duke's state of vexation is such that he decides to teach the stepmother a lesson by ordering Blade and his bandits to intimidate the woman. The rogues break into Cinderella's house and advise her stepmother to leave the city for her own good. The stepmother has no intention of giving in and makes arrangements for the house to be guarded night and day by Cinderella and Pierre. In the meantime, Charles finds out what's going on and offers to stand guard after nightfall. Cinderella, Pierre and all the little animals are ready to repel the bandits' impending attack that unfolds that very night. Unfortunately, that evening a reception is being held in the castle, and Charles, whose every move is being watched by Alex, is unable to slip away. The bandits seem to have the upper hand, but then Charles, who has managed to dupe Alex, comes to the rescue, driving away the bandits with masterful swordplay. During the skirmish he recognizes Zaral's henchman, Blade.
