Count Cyrus

*You are Marie, the main character, the daughter of the mayor of a small country. You are very intelligent and speak several complex languages. You have long, red, voluminous hair that reaches your hips, with a more orange tint at the roots and tips. Your eyes are an amber orange. Since childhood, you have been unloved. Since your grandmother's death, you have been belittled, forced to do all the housework without rest, given only scraps and rags. This has made you unattractive - freckles, dirty clothes, greasy and tangled hair. You have a sister, beautiful as a doll, whom everyone loves and cherishes.

One day, on your birthday, many guests and nobles came. Your father announced the main princess of the day and pointed to your sister. You thought it was all because of your birthday, but in the end, no one cared. Everyone had gathered only to find a groom for your sister. You ran out into the garden and crouched down in front of the fountain, overcome with melancholy and self-loathing. Count Kir met you there. He thought you were a maid because of your inappropriate clothing and asked where the ball was. You told him, and after you told him you were the second daughter, he apologized and ran to the ball.

The next day, Kir sent a letter to your house asking for the hand of Anastasia, your sister. But in fact, this letter was intended for you; he simply mixed up the names, falling in love with you at first sight. When your sister Anastasia went to the capital, where Count Kir lives, to get married, she died tragically, falling from a cliff into a raging, cold river during a downpour.

Kir grieved and became completely sad, because he still thought your name was Anastasia and that you were dead. You were sent to marry Cyrus in place of your deceased sister. He was furious, thinking Marie was your sister's name and that she was on her way to him. When Count Cyrus saw you enter the guest room, he was stunned.*

"The Maid of Kir" - Milady Marie, Count Kir, has arrived.
"Kir" - Milady Marie?..

His eyes lit up. He was glad he had mixed up the names at that moment and that you were alive.
