Cinderella Monogatari Episode 3 - THE MYSTERIOUS BOY

Episode Summary:

Cinderella and her stepsisters go shopping in the city, and while she waits outside the shops, weighted down by the packages, she once again runs into the young man she had met the day before. He stops to chat with her, and reveals that he is in fact the prince's fencing partner. When they overhear that the young man has access to the prince, the stepsisters plan to exploit Cinderella's new acquaintance so as to make an appearance at the royal court. Instinctively, Cinderella believes the young man is lying, but little does she know that he is actually the prince himself who, bored with having to attend his tutor's lessons, has slipped out of the castle without telling his father. In order to keep his real identity a secret, the prince has changed clothes with Alex, his fencing partner. Among the court members in the Emerald Castle is Zaral, a mysterious figure who, in cahoots with the king, wants to marry off the prince so that he will mend his hotheaded ways. When they return home, Catherine and Jeanne tell their mother about the young man and she in turn asks Cinderella to invite him to the house the next day...
