I have some very vague memory about this one animated show that was rerunning when I was a kid (around 2006 maybe?) I say rerun because I was in China, and it was one of the few shows actually dubbed for a Chinese kid's channel. Whoever made that decision had to be fired, because I remember the show being boring as hell and rarely ever watched it. All I can remember it's a love story set most likely in historical Europe, with a peasant girl with blonde hair fallen in love with a man of loyalty or great wealth. The man have black hair, and a younger brother with blonde hair who also likes the girl. The villain I think was a girl with black hair who is more within the "prince's" social circle. Another bad guy was a duke(maybe?) who I pretty sure had a beard, and stayed in his dungeon a lot, who also has a shadow that never matches his movement. There is also a girl from a circus who I think got kidnapped a lot. Finally the opening credit's ending has the "prince" and the blonde girl spinning and dancing in front of a pick/red background. Also the only episode I remember had a doctor who looked exactly like the "prince", and was hired by the duke for his evil plan of some sort. it's also the same episode where everyone took sick of a disease that makes they temporally go blind or something.
