[00:18] Cédric
    Aileen Lauren d'Autriche.
[00:20] Cédric
    I will officially dissolve our engagement!
[00:24] Aileen
    I beg your pardon?
[00:27] Aileen
    Our engagement... dissolved?
[00:29] Aileen
    Our engagement is getting dissolved?!
[00:32] Aileen
    He can't possibly mean...
[00:35] Aileen
    He can't!
[00:37] Aileen
    Yet, somehow, I anticipated this...
[00:54] Aileen
    This sight...
[00:57] Aileen
    I've seen it in my dreams many times before.
[01:06] Aileen
    Crown Prince of the Elmir Empire, Cédric Jeanne Elmir.
[01:10] Aileen
    My fiancé and the main romance route.
[01:14] Aileen
    Wait... "romance route"?!
[01:16] Cédric
    I've decided to live my life openly,
    with Lilia.
[01:21] Lilia
    I'm terribly sorry, Lady Aileen.
[01:24] Aileen
    Lilia Rainworth.
[01:26] Aileen
    She went from a commoner
    to the first daughter of a baron.
[01:29] Aileen
    Also the game's female lead.
[01:31] Aileen
    "Game"? "Female lead"?
[01:33] Cédric
    I've had enough of your treachery
    and arrogance, Aileen.
[01:39] Aileen
    Aileen?
[01:41] Aileen
    Isn't that...
[01:43] Aileen
    The female lead's rival...
[01:45] Aileen
    The villainess, Aileen?!
[01:49] Aileen
    I finally know what's going on here.
[01:52] Aileen
    This is the world of the game
    I was obsessed with in my past life!
[01:58] StudentA
    Poor Lady Lilia.
[02:00] StudentB
    She was so mean. Telling Lilia
    not to address her...
[02:02] StudentC
    And all those things she did
    at the school festival, too.
[02:06] Aileen
    This is the dissolution of their engagement,
    an event from the game's second act.
[02:10] Aileen
    Quite a disadvantageous situation.
[02:14] Aileen
    As you seem uninterested in my opinion,
    I'll simply take my leave.
[02:18] Aileen
    I regret that I couldn't cry
    and make a scene,
[02:21] Aileen
    as you so clearly wished to see me do.
[02:22] Aileen
    Don't cry. Smile!
[02:26] Aileen
    Don't let him feel superior to you!
[02:29] Aileen
    Prince Cédric.
[02:35] Aileen
    I truly did adore you.
[02:50] Aileen
    This is the world of the otome game,
    Regalia of Saints, Demons, and Maidens.
[02:55] Aileen
    As part of the legend of the
    Holy Sword Maiden, the female lead Lilia
[02:59] Aileen
    does battle with the awakened demon lord.

    In the chaos of the final scene...
SIGN    dies———————————————
[03:08] Aileen
    Sure, she dies offhandedly in the game,
[03:11] Aileen
    but I can't afford to die in real life!
[03:15] Aileen
    Think!
[03:16] Aileen
    Remember!
[03:17] Aileen
    What can you do under these circumstances?!
[03:24] Aileen
    The bad end is triggered
    by the demon lord's awakening.
[03:28] Aileen
    Which means...
[03:30] Aileen
    I'll have to stop the demon lord.
[03:33] Aileen
    I'll have to tame the final boss!

[05:25] Aileen
    So many bad omens...
[05:29] Crow A
    Go home, human!
[05:30] Crow B
    You're the girl who got
    dumped by her fiancé!
[05:32] Crow C
    Nobody likes you!
[05:34] Almond
    Selfish! Arrogant!
[05:36] Aileen
    Is such disrespect typical
    of welcomes in this household?!
[05:44] Aileen
    I am the one known as Aileen Lauren d'Autriche,
[05:47] Aileen
    and I refuse to begone until I've had
    an audience with your master!
[06:01] Aileen
    I carry the blood of the
    Holy Sword Maiden, too.
[06:06] Aileen
    I'm sure I can handle this.
[06:13] Claude
    Let me help.
[06:14] Aileen
    Why, thank you—
[06:28] Aileen
    Hang on, hang on, hang on!
[06:30] Aileen
    He's even more stunning
    than his character sprite!
[06:34] Aileen
    It's almost annoying how pretty he is!
[06:41] Claude
    What business could a human
    possibly have with me?
[06:44] Aileen
    Lord Claude Jeanne Elmir, is it not?
[06:47] Claude
    Indeed it is.
[06:50] Aileen
    I have an offer that you may find appealing.
[06:53] Aileen
    Will you...
[06:55] Aileen
    marry me?!
[07:02] Claude
    Marry?
[07:04] Claude
    Will who marry whom, did you say?!
[07:21] Aileen
    I lived a charmed life as
    the youngest child of a duke.
[07:25] Aileen
    But because I was a girl,
    and less competent than my brothers,
[07:32] Aileen
    I could never keep up with them,
    no matter how I tried.
[07:34] Aileen
    I assumed I had no value.
[07:37] Aileen
    I thought that for the longest time.
[07:41] Aileen
    At the age of eight,
    Prince Cédric proposed to me.
[07:46] Aileen
    That was the first time anything
    was expected of me,
[07:49] Aileen
    and becoming empress became my dream.
[07:54] Aileen
    In order to reign well and wisely, I worked,
[07:56] Aileen
    perhaps too hard.
[07:59] Aileen
    The next thing I knew,
    I was declared the "arrogant heiress,"
[08:02] Aileen
    thinking herself superior due to
    her status as the prince's betrothed.
[08:06] Aileen
    If only I'd done a bit more
[08:09] Aileen
    to make myself seem more
    charming and fragile,
[08:11] Aileen
    maybe things could have been different.
[08:15] Belzebuth
    But our lord isn't angry.
[08:17] Belzebuth
    The lightning struck
    because he was surprised.
[08:20] Aileen
    He wasn't... angry?
[08:25] Keith
    True enough.
[08:26] Keith
    If Lord Claude were angry, the damage
    would have been much more severe.
[08:29] Belzebuth
    Why did you treat her?
[08:32] Claude
    No special reason.
[08:33] Keith
    She wished to marry you, Lord Claude?
[08:35] Aileen
    I remember now. He has two aides.
[08:38] Aileen
    Keith and...
[08:40] Belzebuth
    Will you look after her, my lord?
[08:40] Aileen
    The demon, Belzebuth.
[08:43] Claude
    I have no such intention.
[08:45] Claude
    She may have been sent
    here on someone's orders,
[08:47] Claude
    as a trap.
[08:48] Aileen
    Certainly not!
[08:54] Aileen
    I came of my own accord.
[08:58] Aileen
    Claude Jeanne Elmir.
[09:00] Aileen
    Cédric's half-brother.
[09:03] Aileen
    His demonic nature was discovered
    when he was ten years old,
[09:06] Aileen
    and he was stripped of his inheritance as heir.
[09:09] Aileen
    The demons and humans
    signed a non-aggression pact,
[09:12] Aileen
    and he was driven here
    to this abandoned castle.
[09:15] Aileen
    If he awakens as a result
    of his hatred for humans,
[09:18] Aileen
    he'll transform into the final boss dragon
    and kill Aileen offhandedly.
[09:21] Aileen
    If I want to avoid that bad end...
[09:24] Aileen
    Marry me, won't you?
[09:26] Aileen
    I'm sure I'll make you happy!
[09:30] Claude
    Throw her out.
[09:33] Aileen
    I'll leave the moment you agree
    to the engagement!
[09:38] Claude
    I only just met you!
[09:40] Claude
    Why, then?
[09:42] Claude
    I... well...
[09:45] Claude
    Are you saying... you're in love with me?
[09:48] Aileen
    No!
[09:50] Keith
    Lord Claude! Please,
    restrain your tornadoes!
[09:53] Claude
    How dare you do this, mere moments
    after Cédric dissolved your engagement—
[10:01] Aileen
    I'm aware that I've been less than perfect.
[10:06] Aileen
    But am I supposed to spend all
    my time crying because of that?
[10:09] Aileen
    I refuse to waste even
    a single second of my life!
[10:14] Claude
    So you came to court a demon lord?
[10:19] Aileen
    Court—
[10:20] Aileen
    Why, my lord, I could quite easily court—
[10:28] Aileen
    F-Forgive my unsightly appearance.
[10:32] Aileen
    I'll return another time.
[10:34] Claude
    No need for that.
[10:42] Claude
    Now you need never come back again.
[10:45] Claude
    Leave.
[10:46] Aileen
    I'll treasure it!
[10:49] Aileen
    A magical dress!
[10:52] Aileen
    It's wonderful!
[10:59] Aileen
    Oh, was that another spell?
[11:03] Claude
    Just leave!
[11:15] Aileen
    Forcing me home with magic...
[11:19] Aileen
    He got me this time.
[11:21] Rudolph
    You're looking better than expected, Aileen.
[11:25] Rudolph
    That's really too bad.
[11:29] Aileen
    This sadist!
[11:31] Aileen
    He's supposed to be the Empire's brilliant
    prime minister, so it surprises me.
[11:35] Rudolph
    An invitation.
[11:37] Rudolph
    From Prince Cédric and Lady Lilia.
[11:43] Rudolph
    In two months, they'll be holding a ball
    to announce their engagement.
[11:47] Rudolph
    They'll ask you to sign the nullification of
    your engagement in front of everyone then.
[11:52] Aileen
    So he can reject me
    one more time in public?
[11:57] Rudolph
    What will you do, then?
[11:59] Rudolph
    Lady Lilia was polite enough
    to include a letter, as well.
[12:04] Aileen
    Certainly, I'll attend.
[12:07] Aileen
    If they want a fight, I'll be
    most happy to give it to them!
[12:12] Aileen
    I must find a way to win
    Lord Claude's affections!
SIGN    2km to Demon Lord's Castle
[12:20] Aileen
    I've been going around in circles all day!
[12:23] Aileen
    Is that how the magical barrier works?
[12:29] Aileen
    Oh, what a terrible shame!
[12:31] Aileen
    After I brought this to apologize, even!
[12:37] Aileen
    And...
[12:41] Aileen
    As the state of one's servants
    reflects upon their master,
[12:44] Aileen
    I'd brought this special item of clothing
    for whoever's willing to speak on my behalf!
[12:48] Aileen
    The symbol of the gatekeeper.
[12:53] Almond
    Symbol of the gatekeeper?
[12:57] Almond
    Hey, girl!
[12:59] Almond
    Give me that symbol!
[13:06] Aileen
    My, it looks splendid on you!
[13:11] Aileen
    You're free to try one of these if you like.
[13:15] Almond
    I just love almonds!
[13:17] Almond
    So, go—
[13:28] Almond
    Wh-What did you...
[13:30] Aileen
    I infused it with an anesthetic.
[13:33] Aileen
    What a fool you are for trusting a human!
[13:38] Almond
    What kind of human talks like that?!
[13:40] Aileen
    Now, Lord Claude!
    I hereby request an audience!
[13:43] Aileen
    If you refuse, I'll strip this
    demon-bird bald, feather by feather!
[13:48] Almond
    B-Bald?!
[13:59] Aileen
    What a pleasure it is
    to see you, Lord Claude!
[14:02] Aileen
    Would you kindly cure him now?
[14:10] Almond
    I'll kill you, girl!
[14:11] Almond
    I'll kill you for sure!
[14:12] Aileen
    It's simple payback for how rudely
    you treated me yesterday!
[14:15] Aileen
    Now we're even!
[14:20] Almond
    Y-You won't fool me again!
[14:22] Aileen
    I assure you, it's safe.
[14:24] Aileen
    Only the almonds were
    spiked with anesthetic.
[14:35] Claude
    They're fine.
[14:39] Almond
    Good! Good chocolate!
[14:41] Aileen
    But what shall we do?
    We're all the way out here...
[14:43] Claude
    Don't tell me you also put something in—
[14:45] Aileen
    Yes, in the hopes that you might
    just change your mind about me...
[14:51] Aileen
    A love potion.
[14:59] Claude
    You're bizarre.
[15:01] Aileen
    The truth is, I'm to attend
    a ball in two months' time.
[15:05] Aileen
    I was hoping I might
     ask you to be my escort!
[15:08] Claude
    Why the love potion, then?
[15:10] Aileen
    I felt sure you'd turn me down without it.
[15:14] Aileen
    I was hoping for a fait accompli.
[15:17] Almond
    Demon Lord! Demon Lord!
[15:21] Aileen
    If it isn't Almond!
[15:22] Almond
    Don't give me nicknames!
[15:24] Claude
    Ignore her. What's happened?
[15:27] Almond
    It's left the forest!
[15:29] Almond
    A fenrir cub!
[15:32] Claude
    It escaped from the
    second floor to the east.
[15:36] Claude
    It's already through the barrier, as well.
[15:38] Keith
    Heading for the school, then?
[15:40] Keith
    Imagine, if the students find it...
[15:45] Belzebuth
    I'll fetch it.
[15:46] Keith
    If the humans see you,
    it'll make the commotion worse!
[15:51] Aileen
    I'll go.
[15:57] Aileen
    I know the school's territory well.
[16:01] Belzebuth
    Even if it's a cub, it's still a fenrir.
[16:03] Belzebuth
    It'll tear you to pieces.
[16:08] Aileen
    Lend me this, then.
[16:11] Aileen
    The demon beast will surely
    recognize your scent.
[16:14] Claude
    Why aid me? You have no reason to do so.
[16:18] Aileen
    I feel sorry for the poor thing, being lost.
[16:21] Aileen
    And, of course, I hope
    to have you in my debt.
[16:24] Claude
    In your debt?
[16:26] Aileen
    I want to grant your wish!
[16:32] Claude
    I'm counting on you.
[16:39] Aileen
    "I'm counting on you," he said.
[16:45] Aileen
    It's rather nice to have
    someone depend on you.
[16:49] Aileen
    And when a child is lost,
[16:51] Aileen
    you simply have to find them!

    Her father is the prime minister

[17:09] Students
    C'mon!
[17:12] Student A

    Aileen!
[18:47] Aileen
    Prince Cédric...
[18:50] Cédric
    I received a report that you had hurt
    a demon so you could sic it on Lilia.
[18:55] Aileen
    You really think I'd formulate
    such a ridiculous plan?
[18:59] Cédric
    Knowing you? It's possible.
[19:00] Lilia
    Wait!
[19:02] Lilia
    I don't think Lady Aileen
    would do something so awful!
[19:05] Lilia
    Prince Cédric!
[19:08] Cédric
    For Lilia's sake,
    I'll forgive you this time.
[19:11] Cédric
    Now leave.
[19:13] Lilia
    But Lady Aileen is hurt!
[19:15] Cédric
    It's her own fault. Crawl back
    to where you came from.
[19:18] Cédric
    Let's go, Marcus.
[19:20] Marcus
    How pathetic.
[19:21] Aileen
    It doesn't hurt to hear that.
[19:23] Aileen
    I've long abandoned any hope for kindness—

    B-Brother?

    What are you doing here, Brother?
[19:51] Claude
    Aileen Lauren d'Autriche.
[19:54] Aileen
    Y-Yes?
[20:00] Claude
    I came here to offer my thanks.
[20:04] Claude
    Unafraid of the fenrir child,
    you offered it aid.
[20:09] Claude
    To prevent war between demons and humans,
[20:12] Claude
    you even took the blame
    for a crime you did not commit.
[20:17] Claude
    As demon lord,
[20:20] Claude
    I offer you my utmost thanks.
[20:23] Aileen
    He came to save me...
[20:26] Aileen
    To clear my name?
[20:30] Aileen
    But there's no benefit to him whatsoever...
[20:37] Claude
    I'll return you to your estate.
[20:45] Aileen
    Wh-Where did you get that from?!
[20:48] Claude
    It's too early to be surprised.
[21:08] Aileen
    It's beautiful!
[21:12] Claude
    You look like an ordinary
    girl at the moment.
[21:15] Aileen
    What a rude thing to say!
[21:17] Aileen
    I am an ordinary girl!
[21:19] Claude
    You've made it clear you are
    a person who will never cry,
[21:22] Claude
    never make excuses,
    and never ask others for aid.
[21:27] Claude
    That's why you won't tell me
    the reason you wish to marry me.
[21:32] Aileen
    I don't think you'd
    believe me if I told you.
[21:35] Claude
    That's up to me to decide.
[21:41] Aileen
    I shall reveal all to you, then!
[21:43] Aileen
    This entire world is merely an otome
    game I played in my past life!
[21:48] Aileen
    I'm the game's villainess.
[21:50] Aileen
    And after you turn into a dragon,
    Lord Claude, you're going to kill me!
[21:56] Claude
    I see.
[21:58] Claude
    I understand everything now.
[22:01] Claude
    You're mocking me.
[22:03] Aileen
    No way!
[22:05] Aileen
    I'm going to die?!
[22:23] Aileen
    A shooting star?
[22:34] Aileen
    What horrendous recklessness!
[22:36] Aileen
    What in the world did you—
[22:37] Claude
    I will attend the ball.
[22:42] Claude
    To repay my debt to you.
[22:43] Claude
    Isn't that what you wanted?
[22:46] Aileen
    I-It is, but why...
[22:50] Aileen
    are you smiling?
[22:55] Claude
    I wanted...
[22:59] Claude
    to see you cry.
[23:26] Aileen
    I feel like my offhand death...
[23:31] Aileen
    My bad end is a tiny bit less likely now.
