The story

In a kingdom, a blonde princess and a brunette pauper are born at the same time. Several years later, Princess Anneliese is affianced by her mother, Queen Genevieve, to the wealthy King Dominick to save their nearly bankrupt royal treasury; however, Anneliese is in love with her young tutor Julian. The Pauper, Erika, is an indentured servant, working off her parents' debt at Madame Carp's Dress Emporium, which supplies the palace with clothes; however, she dreams of becoming a singer and seeing the world.
