But she knows the ending: her murder at the hands of her fiancé. So, she hatches a plan to stay alive, one that involves a devilish duke and a phony engagement. Can she rewrite her story?

*This is...*
**[00:57] Raeliana**
*not my house.*
**[01:12] Rinko**
*Of course there aren't any withdrawals...*
**[01:17] Rinko**
* I took a year off and still couldn't get*
* into any of my top schools.*
**[01:27] Rinko**
What is life, anyway?
**[01:44] Rinko**
Huh?!

**[01:47] Rinko**
You're kidding...
**[01:52] Rinko**
I did it!
**[01:54] Rinko**
I got in!
**[02:12] Rinko**
*Mom...*
**[02:14] Rinko**
*Onii-chan...*
**[02:16] Rinko**
*Everyone...*
**[02:18] (Flashback) Fortuneteller**
I see a short life in your future.
**[02:24] Rinko**
*I get it.*
**[02:28] Rinko**
*I was fated to die either way.*
**[02:34] Rosemary**
*I, Hanasaki Rinko,*
**[02:37] Rinko**
*was reborn as Raeliana McMillan...*
**[02:41] Rinko**
*in the world of a novel.*
**[02:45] Raeliana**
*What the heck is going on?!*
**[04:26] Raeliana**
*Why am I alive? And inside a novel?*
**[04:31] Raeliana**
*That night...*
**[04:34] Raeliana**
*Someone called out to me.*
**[04:37] Rinko**
*I can't remember their face, their voice,*
**[04:39] Rinko**
*or even what they said to me.*
**[04:46] Raeliana**
*I woke up in this world.*
**[04:51] Raeliana**
*I don't think I'll ever get used to this.*
**[04:53] Raeliana**
* I can't believe I was reborn*
* as someone so beautiful.*
**[04:59] Maid1**
My lady, your meal is ready.
**[05:02] Raeliana**
Oh... Okay. I'll be right there.
**[05:11] Johndein**
Raeli.
**[05:12] Raeliana**
Good day, Father.
**[05:14] Johndein**
Did you sleep well last night?
**[05:16] Raeliana**
Yes.
**[05:20] Rosemary**
Sister!
**[05:21] Raeliana**
Rosemary!
**[05:23] Katie**
Rose...
**[05:25] Katie**
Haven't I told you not to
wander around during meal times?
**[05:29] Johndein**
Now, now.
**[05:30] Johndein**
Let's eat before it gets cold.
**[05:33] Katie**
You're far too easy on Rose.
**[05:36] Rosemary**
Sister, you know what?
I had a dream I was flying!
**[05:40] Raeliana**
*We're like the picture-perfect happy family.*
**[05:44] Johndein**
So as for the next contract...
**[05:45] Raeliana**
*Its head, Johndein McMillan,*
**[05:45] Johndein**
I think I've got one just about wrapped up.
**[05:48] Raeliana**
* was granted the title of baron*
* for his success in the oil industry.*
**[05:52] Katie**
John, don't talk about work at the table.
**[05:52] Raeliana**
* He's what they call "nouveau*
* riche" among the nobility.*
**[05:56] Katie**
Right, Raeli?
**[06:01] Raeliana**
*On top of being reborn,*
**[06:04] Raeliana**
* I was blessed with this family*
* and a life in which I want for nothing...*
**[06:09] Raeliana**
* aside from the fact that Raeliana*
* McMillan is a character in a novel.*
**[06:15] Raeliana**
* Raeliana McMillan is just*
* a supporting character.*
**[06:19] Raeliana**
*The heroine of this story is a girl*
**[06:21] Raeliana**
* who returns from studying abroad*
* in response to her friend's death...*
**[06:27] Raeliana**
*in other words, Raeliana McMillan's death.*
**[06:34] Raeliana**
*I, Raeliana McMillan...*
**[06:38] Raeliana**
*am going to die soon.*
**[06:47] Rosemary**
Sister?
**[06:53] Raeliana**
*I have to die twice?*
**[06:59] Raeliana**
*Over my dead body!*
**[07:05] Raeliana**
* In the novel, the cause of Raeliana's*
* death was arsenic poisoning.*
**[07:11] Raeliana**
* Her fiancé mixed it into*
* the tea she drank every evening.*
**[07:23] Brooks**
Hi there, Raeliana.
**[07:25] Raeliana**
*Francis Brooks.*
**[07:27] Raeliana**
*He's my fiancé.*
**[07:29] Raeliana**
Greetings, Lord Brooks.
**[07:32] Raeliana**
*The one behind it all...*
**[07:39] Raeliana**
* Brooks, a man trusted*
* by the McMillan family,*
**[07:42] Raeliana**
* wins over Raeliana's parents*
* when they're heartbroken over her death*
**[07:45] Raeliana**
*and tries to take over the family business.*
**[07:49] Raeliana**
*That's when the heroine of the story appears*
**[07:52] Raeliana**
*and exposes the truth of what happened.*
**[07:55] Raeliana**
*At least, that's how it goes in the novel...*
**[07:58] Raeliana**
* But if it gets that far,*
* I'll already be dead.*
**[08:02] Brooks**
It's such lovely weather today.
**[08:04] Brooks**
Shall we walk through the garden?
**[08:08] Raeliana**
Of course.
**[08:10] Raeliana**
* The engagement was agreed*
* upon by both families.*
**[08:12] Raeliana**
* The Brooks family is*
* a long-standing noble household,*
**[08:14] Raeliana**
*so I can't just call it off on my own.*
**[08:18] Raeliana**
* And even if I told anyone*
* that he's trying to kill me,*
**[08:22] Raeliana**
*no one would believe me.*
**[08:24] Raeliana**
*Which means there's only one thing to do...*
**[08:27] Raeliana**
* I have to make him want to*
* dissolve our engagement.*
**[08:32] Brooks**
Raeliana?
**[08:34] Raeliana**
We should break up.
**[08:38] Brooks**
Look at that crow.
**[08:40] Raeliana**
I want to break up with you.
**[08:42] Brooks**
What a silly-looking crow!
**[08:44] Raeliana**
Hello? Are you listening to me?
**[08:46] Brooks**
Wait, isn't that a hawk? How unusual!
**[08:52] Raeliana**
*Why did I think that would work?*
**[08:54] Raeliana**
*I need to come up with a better plan.*

This is your first hunt, isn't it?

Do you know how to hold a gun?

**[10:32] Brooks**
Good day, Raeliana.
**[10:35] Raeliana**
What brings you here?
**[10:36] Raeliana**
We made no prior plans to meet today.
**[10:40] Brooks**
Prior plans?
**[10:42] Brooks**
Raeliana, you and I are engaged, are we not?
**[10:47] Raeliana**
Even in a close relationship,
manners are still important.
**[10:51] Raeliana**
Please return home today.
**[10:53] Brooks**
Raeliana!
**[10:56] Raeliana**
What are you doing?!
**[10:58] Brooks**
Why are you suddenly talking like that?!
**[11:00] Brooks**
Even if this is a political marriage,
**[11:02] Brooks**
I thought we had a deeper relationship!
**[11:05] Brooks**
Or was I the only one who felt that way?!
**[11:09] Raeliana**
Yes, you were mistaken, Lord Brooks.
**[11:13] Raeliana**
So please let go of me now.
**[11:20] Brooks**
What the McMillan family wants is
the Brooks family's social standing!
**[11:25] Brooks**
They should be grateful to me for
agreeing to marry a nouveau riche like you.
**[11:32] Raeliana**
Wh-What did you say?
**[11:34] Brooks**
However you may fight it,
you can't escape this marriage.
**[11:40] Brooks**
You'd best prepare yourself
to obediently serve your future husband.
**[11:48] Raeliana**
*That guy...*
**[11:52] Raeliana**
* I wish I could just kill*
* him myself, right now!*
**[12:01] Raeliana**
* I already live in*
* a world I barely understand.*
**[12:04] Raeliana**
* I refuse to spend every*
* day here living in fear!*
**[12:14] Raeliana**
*I'll have to think of some other way...*
**[12:25] Raeliana**
*So he finally shows up.*
**[12:27] Raeliana**
*Noah Voltaire Wynknight...*
**[12:30] Raeliana**
*A duke of this nation,*
**[12:33] Raeliana**
*and the protagonist of the novel.*
**[12:49] Raeliana**
*In the Kingdom of Chamus, where I live now,*
**[12:52] Raeliana**
* royal authority has decayed*
* significantly with the rise of capitalism.*
**[12:58] Raeliana**
* The old nobles came up with a law*
* to pluck new nobles out from the root*
**[13:03] Raeliana**
*before they can acquire any power.*
**[13:08] Raeliana**
*The transfer of noble ranks is forbidden.*
***SIGN*** Known as the "Nouveau Riche Prevention Law"
**[13:11] Raeliana**
* They call it the "Nouveau*
* Riche Prevention Law."*
**[13:14] Raeliana**
* But the royal seal they*
* needed to enact that law*
**[13:17] Raeliana**
*was stolen by someone.*
**[13:20] Raeliana**
* As the old nobles were scrambling to come up*
* with a new way to suppress the nouveau riche,*
**[13:26] Raeliana**
* the one who showed up out of*
* nowhere like a comet...*
**[13:29] Raeliana**
*was the younger brother of the current king*
**[13:31] Raeliana**
* and first in line for the throne,*
* Noah Voltaire, simply known as "Noah."*
**[13:37] Raeliana**
*The Wynknight family has been the core*
**[13:38] Raeliana**
* of the kingdom's military*
* strength for generations,*
**[13:40] Raeliana**
*and he is the former queen's eldest son.*
**[13:42] Raeliana**
* He's basically the last bastion*
* for conservatism.*
**[13:45] Raeliana**
*Though he was removed from*
**[13:47] Raeliana**
* the line of succession at one time*
* due to an unfortunate scandal,*
**[13:50] Raeliana**
*he's now known as the young ace*
**[13:52] Raeliana**
* who'll take center stage again*
* and carry the hopes of the old nobles.*
**[13:58] Raeliana**
*He must have it rough.*
**[14:00] Raeliana**
*But... wait a minute...*
**[14:03] Raeliana**
*Since his rank is higher,*
**[14:05] Raeliana**
*maybe he could stop Brooks...*
**[14:08] Raeliana**
* If this works out, it could be*
* an incredible bargaining chip.*
**[14:18] Raeliana**
* I know that guy,*
* and I know this story's ending.*
**[14:26] Raeliana**
* This is stuff that only someone who came*
* from outside this world could know.*
**[14:32] Raeliana**
* I don't know if something like this will*
* work on a pure-blooded noble, but...*
**[14:37] Noah**
Excuse me for a moment.
**[14:40] Raeliana**
*It's do or die.*
**[14:44] Raeliana**
*It's worth a try, at least.*
**[14:48] Jake**
Well, well!
**[14:51] Jake**
If it isn't Francis Brooks.
**[14:54] Brooks**
Jake Langston...
**[14:56] Jake**
It's been a while, Brooks.
**[15:00] Brooks**
One moment, please.
**[15:03] Jake**
You sure you should leave your
cute little fiancée all alone?
**[15:06] Brooks**
That's none of your business!
**[15:08] Jake**
Don't be so aloof.
**[15:11] Jake**
We're both in the same boat, aren't we?
**[15:14] Jake**
It's only natural that I'd worry.
**[15:16] Brooks**
There's nothing for you to worry about!
**[15:19] Brooks**
So just go—
**[15:19] Jake**
Even our client has told me
**[15:21] Jake**
that you and your fiancée haven't
been getting along well lately.
**[15:27] Jake**
Let me just give you one little warning.
**[15:31] Jake**
Do your job.
**[15:35] Jake**
If you screw this up, you're dead.
**[15:40] Jake**
So yeah, do your best not to
make your fiancée get tired of you.
**[15:47] Brooks**
*This is all that woman's fault!*
**[15:51] Brooks**
*I thought she was a shy girl...*
**[15:54] Brooks**
*but recently, she's changed completely!*
**[15:58] Brooks**
You there. Have you seen Lady Raeliana?
**[16:02] Bowie**
Yeah.
**[16:03] Bowie**
I saw her walking toward the garden.
**[16:06] Brooks**
I see.
**[16:08] Brooks**
*I swear... She is such a headache!*
**[16:18] Raeliana**
* I followed him out here*
* without even thinking.*
**[16:21] Raeliana**
*What do I say to him?*
**[16:24] Raeliana**
* And... he's obviously*
* suspicious already, isn't he?*
**[16:27] Raeliana**
*It's not as if we have any mutual friends.*
**[16:31] Raeliana**
* And this is my first time speaking*
* to a noble I've never met—*
**[16:35] Noah**
Do you have some business with me?
**[16:42] Raeliana**
Duke, this is my first time meeting you.
**[16:46] Raeliana**
I am the daughter
of Baron Johndein McMillan.
**[16:48] Raeliana**
My name is Raeliana McMillan.
**[16:51] Noah**
Ah, the young lady of the McMillan family.
**[16:53] Noah**
I am Noah Voltaire Wynknight.
**[16:58] Raeliana**
*Wait, why am I just gawking at him?!*
**[17:01] Raeliana**
* I can't be deceived*
* by the sweet mask this man wears!*
**[17:05] Raeliana**
If I may be so bold,
**[17:06] Raeliana**
I have come in hopes
of making a deal with you.
**[17:11] Noah**
A deal?
**[17:13] Raeliana**
*I know who this guy really is.*
**[17:18] Raeliana**
I don't know if this is
something I should say here...
**[17:25] Raeliana**
It's about the royal seal.
**[17:34] Raeliana**
*Behind that calm, angelic smile*
**[17:38] Raeliana**
*lurks a terrible demon.*
**[17:41] Noah**
Oh? Well...
**[17:44] Noah**
How very intriguing...
**[17:48] Raeliana**
*Two-faced bastard!*
**[17:53] Noah**
Why don't you tell me
**[17:56] Noah**
all the details of this deal of yours?
**[17:59] Raeliana**
*He's on board! Now I can...*
**[18:03] Brooks**
Raeliana?
**[18:07] Raeliana**
*Of all the times...*
**[18:09] Raeliana**
*Must he get in my way at every single step?!*
**[18:12] Raeliana**
*What should I do?*
**[18:15] Raeliana**
*Wait for the next opportunity?*
**[18:20] Raeliana**
*Actually...*
**[18:22] Raeliana**
*This might be my best opportunity!*
**[18:31] Raeliana**
I suppose I can't keep it hidden any longer.
**[18:36] Raeliana**
Lord Brooks, I'm very sorry.
**[18:39] Brooks**
F-For what?
**[18:43] Raeliana**
It would seem...
**[18:44] Raeliana**
that the Duke and I have
grown fond of each other.
**[18:51] Brooks**
What?
**[18:57] Raeliana**
The royal seal...
**[19:11] Raeliana**
*He actually... picked up on that?*
**[19:15] Brooks**
Wh-What in the world is...
**[19:16] Servant**
Lady Raeliana! Where are you?
**[19:19] Raeliana**
Right here!
**[19:21] Raeliana**
*Lucky break!*
**[19:23] Raeliana**
Well, I must take my leave now.
**[19:26] Raeliana**
Please have a wonderful evening.
**[19:30] Brooks**
Wait!
**[19:33] Brooks**
Is what you just said true?
**[19:36] Raeliana**
*I swear, this guy...*
**[19:39] Raeliana**
Yes, it's true.
**[19:41] Raeliana**
As I've said many times before,
I'd like to call off our engagement.
**[19:46] Brooks**
But why now?!
**[19:47] Raeliana**
It's quite late already. May I leave now?
**[19:52] Brooks**
You lowly nouveau riche!
**[19:54] Brooks**
You want to call off our engagement?!
**[19:57] Brooks**
Do you really think you have the right to—
**[20:00] Noah**
That's enough.
**[20:03] Noah**
Take her home.
**[20:05] Servant**
O-Of course.
**[20:07] Servant**
Come, my lady.
**[20:08] Servant**
If we're home too late,
the baron will scold me.
**[20:12] Raeliana**
Yes. I'm sorry.
**[20:19] Brooks**
* It had to be Noah Voltaire Wynknight,*
* of all people?!*
**[20:25] Brooks**
Even if you are a duke,
this is just too much!
**[20:29] Brooks**
That girl is *my* fiancée!
**[20:32] Noah**
Did you not hear what she said?
**[20:39] Noah**
I don't believe you have the right
to call yourself her fiancé anymore.
**[20:47] Brooks**
I'm not the type...
**[20:48] Brooks**
who'll just sit quietly and let this happen.
**[20:56] Noah**
Whitton...
**[20:57] Whitton**
Yes?
**[20:58] Noah**
Investigate Raeliana McMillan.
**[21:00] Noah**
And assign someone to watch that man,
**[21:03] Noah**
so that we can act quickly
in case he tries anything.
**[21:06] Whitton**
Understood, Your Grace.
**[21:10] Noah**
*A deal?*
**[21:13] Noah**
*With me?*
**[21:21] Servant**
My lady?!
**[21:23] Johndein**
Raeli, what's wrong?
**[21:29] Raeliana**
I'm all right.
**[21:30] Raeliana**
The night breeze just gave me a chill.
**[21:33] Johndein**
Well, that won't do.
**[21:35] Johndein**
Wear this coat over your dress.
**[21:37] Raeliana**
Thank you, Father.
**[21:41] Raeliana**
*Did I really do the right thing?*
**[21:47] Gideon**
You are returning awfully late.
**[21:55] Noah**
Yes.
**[21:57] Noah**

**[00:07] Raeliana**
I'm so hung over...
**[00:09] Venia**
Miss Raeliana.
**[00:11] Raeliana**
Venia...
**[00:13] Raeliana**
I'd really like to sleep
a little longer today...
**[00:17] Venia**
There is someone here to see you, my lady.
**[00:20] Raeliana**
To see me?
**[00:22] Raeliana**
Tell them I'm not feeling well
and send them home.
**[00:25] Venia**
But it's His Grace the Duke...
**[00:29] Raeliana**
What did you say?
**[00:35] (Flashback) Noah**
A deal?
**[00:36] (Flashback) Raeliana**
It's about the royal seal.
**[00:41] Venia**
Neither the master
nor the mistress are at home.
**[00:43] Venia**
What shall I do?
**[00:46] Raeliana**
All right.
**[00:47] Raeliana**
Have him wait in the living room.
**[00:54] Raeliana**
*I just have to come out and tell him*
**[00:56] Raeliana**
* that if he doesn't want me*
* to expose the dirt on him,*
**[00:59] Raeliana**
*he has to help me break off my engagement.*
**[02:41] Raeliana**
Welcome, Duke.
**[02:45] Noah**
Miss McMillan...
**[02:47] Noah**
I'm glad to see you made
it home safely last night.
**[02:51] Raeliana**
Yes, thanks to you, sir.
**[02:54] Noah**
Are you feeling unwell? You look pale.
**[02:57] Raeliana**
No, I was just a bit surprised.
**[03:01] Raeliana**
*I feel like puking...*
**[03:03] Raeliana**
But I never dreamed I'd see
you again so soon. I am honored.
**[03:09] Raeliana**
* He doesn't even look like*
* the same man today.*
**[03:12] Noah**
I fervently wished to see you
as soon as possible.
**[03:16] Noah**
Please pardon my imposition.
**[03:19] Raeliana**
Sir...
**[03:22] Maid1**
Isn't His Grace the Duke the one
that even Vivian Shamal
**[03:24] Maid1**
couldn't seduce, no matter
how hard she tried?
**[03:28] Maid2**
And yet he's here, and with a bouquet, no less!
**[03:35] Raeliana**
Nothing's better for
a hangover than ice cream!
**[03:37] Elma**
Why did you drink so much, anyway?
You know you can't hold your liquor.
**[03:42] Raeliana**
It had been so long...
**[03:44] Raeliana**
I thought I could get away
with just a little bit.
**[03:47] Raeliana**
* I can't tell her I don't know this*
* body's limits because it isn't my own.*
**[03:52] Elma**
So... why did His Grace the Duke come here?
**[03:56] Raeliana**
You're curious about that, too?
**[03:58] Elma**
Of course I am!
**[04:00] Raeliana**
I can't talk about it in a lot of detail...
**[04:03] Raeliana**
But I happened to meet him
at the banquet yesterday,
**[04:06] Raeliana**
and we realized that we had
certain things in common.
**[04:09] Elma**
Oh, my!
**[04:11] Raeliana**
I think he could prove to be
a great partner if things work out.
**[04:15] Elma**
Wow! My lady with His Grace the Duke?!
**[04:17] Raeliana**
*I mean a* business *partner, of course...*
**[04:26] Raeliana**
*Okay, so...*
**[04:29] Raeliana**
*For starters...*
**[04:31] Raeliana**
* I guess I should learn*
* how to write a contract.*
***SIGN*** Even a Monkey Can Understand
How to Write a Contract
so You Won't Be Deceived
**[04:35] Johndein**
I hear the Duke came to see you.
**[04:41] Johndein**
Would you mind explaining
what that's all about?
**[04:44] Raeliana**
We... I mean, I...
**[04:49] Raeliana**
want to break off my
engagement to Lord Brooks.
**[04:55] Johndein**
Raeli, did you not love Lord Brooks dearly?
**[05:00] Raeliana**
I didn't, Father.
**[05:03] Raeliana**
I was only abiding by the decision
made by both of our families,
**[05:06] Raeliana**
for the benefit of the McMillan family.
**[05:09] Raeliana**
But now...
**[05:11] Raeliana**
I want to spend my life
with someone I truly love.
**[05:18] Raeliana**
* That said, this affects both*
* the McMillan family and my father's business.*
**[05:23] Raeliana**
* I don't expect him to just*
* calmly tell me he understands.*
**[05:29] Johndein**
I understand.
**[05:30] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[05:32] Raeliana**
Um... Father?
**[05:35] Johndein**
You have always done as we said,
without a single word of complaint.
**[05:41] Johndein**
We were proud to have such a daughter,
**[05:44] Johndein**
but it also made us worry about you.
**[05:47] Johndein**
We questioned whether
or not you were truly happy.
**[05:50] Katie**
Yes.
**[05:51] Katie**
You don't need to endure
anything for our sakes.
**[05:56] Katie**
Our beloved daughter's
happiness is our happiness.
**[06:04] Raeliana**
* I was so disgusted with myself,*
* I thought my heart might burst.*
**[06:07] Raeliana**
Okay...
**[06:09] Raeliana**
*I'm not even...*
**[06:12] Raeliana**
*your real daughter.*
**[06:15] Raeliana**
* I swallowed the words down so hard,*
* they stuck like thorns in my chest.*
**[06:39] Gideon**
It is an honor to welcome you,
Miss McMillan.
**[06:43] Gideon**
The master awaits you inside.
**[06:59] Raeliana**
Duke, I hope the day finds you well.
**[07:02] Noah**
Let's skip the tiresome greetings, shall we?
**[07:16] Noah**
You spoke of the royal seal.
**[07:18] Raeliana**
Yes,
**[07:19] Raeliana**
it seems the royal seal that
disappeared still has not been found.
**[07:23] Raeliana**
If you wonder why I spoke of this
to you, of all people...
**[07:28] Raeliana**
I believe you yourself know
the reason better than anyone.
**[07:33] Raeliana**
I'm sure no one hates me,
the one who knows where the seal is,
**[07:38] Raeliana**
as much as you do.
**[07:41] Noah**
What makes you think so?
**[07:44] Raeliana**
Because you are the one
in possession of the royal seal.
**[07:51] Raeliana**
* He serves as a guide to lead*
* the old nobility against the new nobility.*
**[07:55] Raeliana**
* No one would expect him*
* to have the royal seal*
**[07:59] Raeliana**
*that the royal family uses to enact laws.*
**[08:03] Raeliana**
* But that's exactly what*
* the royal family wants.*
**[08:06] Raeliana**
* Noah's role in leading*
* the old nobility is just for show.*
**[08:10] Raeliana**
*He's actually the king's pawn.*
**[08:13] Raeliana**
*The only ones who know the truth*
**[08:15] Raeliana**
* are the duke's household*
* and those closest to the royal family...*
**[08:17] Raeliana**
* and me, one who came*
* to this world from outside.*
**[08:21] Raeliana**
* Though it's actually supposed to be*
* the novel's heroine who knows it, not me.*
**[08:29] Noah**
Are you being serious?
**[08:33] Noah**
And here I decided
to have this discussion with you.
**[08:36] Noah**
Now it's no fun.
**[08:37] Raeliana**
*What did he say?!*
**[08:41] Noah**
We've wasted precious time.
**[08:43] Noah**
Let's pretend this never happened.
**[08:47] Raeliana**
*I can't lose my composure.*
**[08:49] Raeliana**
*He's testing me right now.*
**[08:52] Raeliana**
I believe your family graveyard is
located at 31 Vangelio Street.
**[08:58] Raeliana**
The grave of your cousin,
Robert Wynknight...
**[09:02] Raeliana**
is where it's buried, correct?
**[09:04] Noah**
Saying any more will do you no good.
**[09:07] Noah**
Please leave now.
**[09:10] Raeliana**
* After all I've said,*
* he's still feigning ignorance?*
**[09:14] Raeliana**
*In that case...*
**[09:17] Raeliana**
Very well.
**[09:19] Raeliana**
I will take my leave, then.
**[09:27] Raeliana**
* He definitely reacted*
* when I brought up the royal seal.*
**[09:31] Raeliana**
* Which means everything*
* I said must have been right.*
**[09:35] Raeliana**
*So I can't lose heart.*
**[09:37] Raeliana**
*I have to appear confident.*
**[09:40] Raeliana**
*That said...*
**[09:43] Raeliana**
*I don't have that many cards to play.*
**[09:46] Raeliana**
* If he decides to say everything I told*
* him was made up, it's all over.*
**[09:52] Raeliana**
*So please...*
**[09:55] Raeliana**
*Stop me from leaving!*
**[09:58] Raeliana**
*Is this really the end of it?*
**[10:02] Raeliana**
*There must be some way...*
**[10:09] Raeliana**
*A chess board with only one king on it.*
**[10:12] Raeliana**
*The number of pieces don't add up...*
**[10:15] Raeliana**
*Is this...*
**[10:17] Raeliana**
*the current state of the Kingdom of Chamus?!*
**[10:23] Raeliana**
Sir...
**[10:27] Raeliana**
Please move that bishop to the right.
**[10:32] Raeliana**
That would place the Gale family under you.
**[10:35] Raeliana**
Because the next head of the Gale family...
**[10:38] Raeliana**
is not the eldest son, Valdur,
but the second, Harrelson.
**[10:43] Raeliana**
Valdur is backing and financially supporting
a militia that the kingdom is wary of.
**[10:49] Raeliana**
I'm sure you're aware
that this is no mere rumor.
**[10:53] Raeliana**
To the Gale family,
he is essentially a ticking time bomb.
**[10:57] Raeliana**
That means they have no choice
but to select the second son, Harrelson.
**[11:03] Noah**
Don't they? We have no way to be certain.
**[11:06] Raeliana**
The truth will be known in time.
**[11:09] Raeliana**
Well, then...
**[11:10] Noah**
Wait.
**[11:14] Noah**
Very well.
**[11:17] Noah**
Let's negotiate.
**[11:30] Raeliana**
*Was this really a good idea?*
**[11:33] Raeliana**
*I feel like I'm getting myself mixed up with*
**[11:35] Raeliana**
* someone even more dangerous*
* than Francis Brooks.*
**[11:39] Noah**
In other words...
**[11:41] Noah**
You want me to pretend to be your fiancé?
**[11:43] Raeliana**
Yes. That is my only condition.
**[11:46] Noah**
Why?
**[11:47] Raeliana**
Is a reason necessary?
**[11:49] Noah**
Depending on the situation.
**[11:50] Raeliana**
And in the current situation?
**[11:52] Noah**
It's necessary.
**[11:53] Raeliana**
Uh... right.
**[11:56] Raeliana**
*Then again, I came from a different world,*
**[12:00] Raeliana**
* and I've read about what*
* happens in this world.*
**[12:05] Raeliana**
*That's how I know where the royal seal is.*
**[12:08] Raeliana**
*But it's not as if I can tell him that.*
**[12:11] Raeliana**
I heard a rumor that Lord Brooks
was trying to kill me.
**[12:16] Raeliana**
So I want justification for ending my
engagement to him as quickly as possible.
**[12:22] Noah**
You would take such a rumor
seriously even with no evidence?
**[12:26] Raeliana**
It doesn't matter if you don't believe me.
**[12:29] Noah**
Did this rumor come from the same place
as your knowledge of the royal seal?
**[12:34] Raeliana**
Well... yes, that's right.
**[12:37] Noah**
Why don't you tell me what
this source of yours is?
**[12:41] Raeliana**
I would like you to agree to a contract
without requiring me to tell you.
**[12:46] Noah**
I can't do that.
**[12:47] Raeliana**
The source of my information
has already died.
**[12:50] Raeliana**
I cannot reveal their identity.
**[12:54] Raeliana**
If you cannot agree to that,
we will forget all talk of this contract.
**[12:59] Raeliana**
The information I possess
is extremely valuable.
**[13:02] Raeliana**
There are many who would
pay any price to obtain it.
**[13:07] Raeliana**
I'm sure some would happily lick my boots
**[13:09] Raeliana**
if it meant they would have
a chance to bring you down.
**[13:14] Raeliana**
*What's so funny?*
**[13:18] Noah**
Did you not come to me because you
fear those people wouldn't believe you?
**[13:25] Raeliana**
Can we just stop these negotiations now?
**[13:28] Raeliana**
Six months.
**[13:29] Raeliana**
If you'll pretend to be my fiancé
for just six months,
**[13:32] Raeliana**
you will likely never see me again
after that period is over.
**[13:39] Raeliana**
Never again.
**[13:41] Raeliana**
*So just hurry up and sign this already!*
**[13:47] Noah**
All right.
**[13:52] Raeliana**
*The deal is made? Seriously?*
**[13:58] Noah**
In return...
**[14:00] Noah**
For as long as this farce goes on,
**[14:02] Noah**
you will play your part as my
fiancée whenever I need you to.
**[14:08] Raeliana**
What do you mean by that?
**[14:13] Noah**
Oh...
**[14:16] Noah**
You'll see soon enough,
whether you want to or not.
**[14:21] Raeliana**
*Then, some days later...*
**[14:24] Raeliana**
* I would wish to death that I had never*
* made a contract with this man.*
**[14:30] Raeliana**
*From one disaster to the next...*
**[14:34] Raeliana**
* "Immense compensation demanded in return*
* for one-sided engagement annulment."*
**[14:39] Raeliana**
* I never thought a family as high-ranking*
* as the Brooks would go this far.*
**[14:45] Raeliana**
* Besides, if this could*
* be resolved with money,*
**[14:47] Raeliana**
* I wouldn't have needed*
* to go through all this.*
**[14:51] Raeliana**
*Nothing I can do about it now, though.*
**[14:54] Raeliana**
* The one bound to cause*
* the most trouble for me now is...*
**[15:00] Raeliana**
*Yep, this guy. Adam Taylor.*
**[15:03] Raeliana**
*The knight Noah assigned specifically to me.*
**[15:06] Raeliana**
*He's also known as the Observer.*
**[15:13] Raeliana**
*Jeez, his gaze stings!*
**[15:17] Raeliana**
* He had a pretty strong*
* presence in the novel, too.*
**[15:21] Raeliana**
* He stood on the battlefield*
* from a young age as a child soldier.*
**[15:24] Raeliana**
* He's an exceptional fighter*
* who's been through many battles.*
**[15:28] Raeliana**
* But then the royal family halted*
* the use of child soldiers,*
**[15:33] Raeliana**
*so Adam had nowhere to go.*
**[15:36] Raeliana**
* He was then hired by the Wynknight*
* family to serve as a knight,*
**[15:40] Raeliana**
*at which point he swore loyalty to Noah.*
**[15:44] Raeliana**
* The maids gushed that Noah's assignment*
* of Adam, someone so close to him,*
**[15:47] Raeliana**
*must be out of love for me,*
**[15:50] Raeliana**
*but in truth,*
**[15:51] Raeliana**
* it's no more than a warning that*
* if I do anything funny, I'll lose my head.*
**[15:57] Raeliana**
*But that's all well and good.*
**[16:00] Raeliana**
*The problem is...*
**[16:03] Raeliana**
Master Taylor.
**[16:06] Raeliana**
Will you serve as my guard even when
I move to the duke's mansion?
**[16:15] Raeliana**
*Say something, would you?!*
**[16:20] Raeliana**
*Yes... In three days,*
**[16:23] Raeliana**
*I have to go to the duke's mansion.*
**[16:27] (Flashback) Noah**
I'll need you to move
to my mansion as soon as possible.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Raeliana**
Why is that?
**[16:33] (Flashback) Noah**
Because you will be a candidate
for marriage into the House of Wynknight.
**[16:38] (Flashback) Raeliana**
Y-Yes, but we're still only engaged.
**[16:41] (Flashback) Noah**
That's exactly why it's necessary.
**[16:44] (Flashback) Noah**
Call it bridal training, perhaps?
**[16:51] Elma**
My lady.
**[16:56] Raeliana**
What is it?
**[16:57] Elma**
My lady, this must be so difficult for you.
**[17:00] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[17:01] Elma**
I can't fathom why the master
and mistress don't say anything!
**[17:05] Raeliana**
* Everyone else just says I couldn't*
* have found a better man to marry.*
**[17:10] Raeliana**
*Elma's the only one who understands me.*
**[17:13] Elma**
Those red eyes...
**[17:14] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[17:15] Elma**
He looks like he might swing
that sword at any moment.
**[17:18] Raeliana**
Oh, you meant Master Taylor?
**[17:20] Elma**
Yes.
**[17:21] Elma**
I hear some people call him
the God of Death.
**[17:25] Elma**
Plus, they say he descends from
that band of savages, the Alsasa.
**[17:30] Elma**
Why would he hire someone like that?
**[17:32] Raeliana**
Elma, Master Taylor is a hero
of this kingdom and a fine knight.
**[17:36] Elma**
My lady?
**[17:38] Raeliana**
That's why the Duke assigned him to guard me.
**[17:43] Elma**
But...
**[17:44] Raeliana**
Please refrain from saying such rude things.
**[17:48] Elma**
I'm very sorry.
**[17:50] Elma**
I was just concerned about you.
**[17:54] Raeliana**
Yes, I know.
**[17:57] Raeliana**
I just don't want you to judge people
based on their looks and backgrounds.
**[18:02] Elma**
Right...
**[18:04] Raeliana**
So you wanted to talk to me?
**[18:06] Elma**
Oh... Yes.
**[18:08] Elma**
I finished making the chocolate-covered
almonds that you asked for.
**[18:12] Raeliana**
Wow, really?!
**[18:15] Raeliana**
Thank you!
**[18:16] Raeliana**
That must have been a lot of work!
**[18:18] Elma**
Not at all.
**[18:30] Raeliana**
Are you knowledgeable
about flowers, Master Taylor?
**[18:36] Raeliana**
Um... What foods do you like?
**[18:42] Raeliana**
*He's too silent!*
**[18:44] Rosemary**
Sister!
**[18:46] Rosemary**
Sister!
**[18:48] Raeliana**
Rose!
**[18:50] Raeliana**
Rosemary!
**[18:52] Raeliana**
My angel!
**[18:55] Raeliana**
What have you been doing?
**[18:57] Rosemary**
Praying!
**[18:58] Raeliana**
Praying?
**[18:59] Rosemary**
That you and the Duke will be
happy forever and ever!
**[19:05] Raeliana**
*Rosemary!*
**[19:07] Raeliana**
Oh, I just can't stand it!
**[19:09] Rosemary**
I'm getting dizzy!
**[19:13] Raeliana**
What's the balloon for?
**[19:16] Rosemary**
Oh, this?
**[19:17] Rosemary**
To let go into the sky, like this.
**[19:30] Rosemary**
What do we do?
**[19:32] Raeliana**
Let's have Hans get it when he comes later.
**[19:35] Raeliana**
I'm sure a gardener would have a stepladder.
**[19:38] Rosemary**
It has to go up into the sky.
**[19:41] Raeliana**
Why?
**[19:42] Rosemary**
The balloon is going to
carry my wish up to the gods.
**[19:46] Rosemary**
My wish for you and the Duke
to be happy forever and ever.
**[19:53] Rosemary**
What if it takes too long
to carry it to the gods,
**[19:56] Rosemary**
and the balloon forgets my wish?
**[20:01] Raeliana**
*She's just too cute!*
**[20:03] Rosemary**
Sister?
**[20:05] Raeliana**
Sorry. You're so cute, I just can't...
**[20:09] Raeliana**
Don't worry about the balloon.
**[20:11] Raeliana**
I'm sure it'll remember your wish.
**[20:13] Rosemary**
Really?
**[20:14] Raeliana**
Yes.
**[20:15] Raeliana**
So eat these with me while we
wait for Hans to get here.
**[20:22] Rosemary**
Okay.
**[20:32] Rosemary**
The balloon flew away!
**[20:36] Raeliana**
*I didn't expect that...*
**[20:41] Raeliana**
* I figured he'd think a thing like this*
* was none of his concern.*
**[20:46] Raeliana**
Thank you, Master Taylor.
**[20:48] Raeliana**
Go on, Rosemary. You should thank him.
**[20:54] Rosemary**
Give me your hand.
**[21:01] Rosemary**
Thank you very much!
**[21:05] Raeliana**
*Huh?*
**[21:06] Raeliana**
* He seemed like he reacted more*
* quickly than usual to that.*
**[21:11] Raeliana**
Could it be that you like sweets?
**[21:19] Raeliana**
*Aw, there's a cute side to him!*
**[21:31] Raeliana**
* Since he had to be on*
* the battlefield since childhood,*
**[21:34] Raeliana**
* he probably never had a chance*
* to act much like a child.*
**[21:38] Raeliana**
Once again...
**[21:40] Raeliana**
I look forward to your continued service.
**[21:46] Raeliana**
* I should get Elma to make more of those*
* before I move to the duke's mansion.*
**[21:53] Raeliana**
*And then...*
**[21:55] Raeliana**
*The morning of that day arrived.*

**[00:02] Raeliana**
*What is this?*
**[00:03] Raeliana**
*Can you even call this a carriage?*
**[00:05] Venia**
Goodness.
**[00:06] Venia**
I suppose this is what one should
expect of a duke's carriage.
**[00:09] Venia**
It's like the horses are
pulling our house behind them.
**[00:13] Driver**
Are these all of your things?
**[00:15] Driver**
If there's anything else you'd like
carried out, please let me know.
**[00:19] Raeliana**
Oh, no, this is quite enough.
**[00:22] Raeliana**
*Are they trying to make me move out entirely?*
**[00:33] Rosemary**
Please take good care of my sister.
**[00:39] Raeliana**
*Rose...*
**[00:42] Katie**
Raeli, do take care of yourself.
**[02:42] Gideon**
We have been awaiting
your arrival, Miss McMillan.
**[02:45] Gideon**
Allow me to introduce myself.
**[02:47] Gideon**
I am Gideon Jura, the supervising
butler of this mansion.
**[02:52] Raeliana**
It is an honor to see you again, Gideon.
**[02:56] Raeliana**
*Four butlers in one mansion?!*
**[03:00] Gideon**
The servants will carry your things
for you. You need not worry.
**[03:06] Raeliana**
I appreciate your consideration.
**[03:08] Gideon**
Now, before I show you to your room,
**[03:12] Gideon**
allow me to tell you
about this mansion's history.
**[03:15] Raeliana**
Th-The mansion's history?
**[03:19] Gideon**
Indeed.
**[03:21] Gideon**
This is a venerable mansion that the
**[03:23] Gideon**
Wynknight family has
called home for centuries.
**[03:26] Gideon**
It is packed full of
the Wynknight family's history.
**[03:31] Raeliana**
Ah... That certainly does sound intriguing.
**[03:39] Raeliana**
*I'm gonna die!*
**[03:41] Raeliana**
* What is this? Some new*
* form of hazing?*
**[03:44] Raeliana**
* Like a "don't think*
* someone like you can just*
**[03:47] Raeliana**
* come into the duke's*
* mansion like that" thing?*
**[03:50] Raeliana**
* All that stuff about who they*
* got the mansion from,*
**[03:53] Raeliana**
* and how every single pattern*
* has immeasurable value...*
**[03:57] Raeliana**
* And how diligently*
* the designer worked to design it,*
**[04:01] Raeliana**
* and how much all that work influenced*
* designers who came after...*
**[04:04] Raeliana**
*I don't even care about all that!*
**[04:07] Raeliana**
They're not going to tell me that even this
bed is a national treasure, are they?
**[04:12] Noah**
Don't worry. That bed isn't included.
**[04:18] Noah**
Want a drink?
**[04:19] Raeliana**
*Wait a minute! How long has he been there?!*
**[04:22] Raeliana**
Wh-What are you doing here?
**[04:25] Raeliana**
You shouldn't just enter
someone's room without warning!
**[04:28] Noah**
Are you saying you require privacy?
**[04:30] Raeliana**
Of course I do!
**[04:32] Noah**
Well, give it up.
**[04:33] Noah**
It's pointless to expect such a thing.
**[04:36] Raeliana**
*You're lucky you were born in this world.*
**[04:40] Raeliana**
* In my world, you would've*
* been arrested long ago.*
**[04:45] Raeliana**
And?
**[04:46] Raeliana**
Did you have business with me?
**[04:50] Noah**
My fiancée has moved into my home.
**[04:54] Noah**
She can't just stay
in her room all the time.
**[04:58] Raeliana**
*Yes, yes, I see.*
**[05:00] Noah**
The Brooks family is seeking
monetary compensation.
**[05:05] Noah**
You have no taste in men.
**[05:07] Raeliana**
Yes, so it would seem.
**[05:09] Raeliana**
*After all, I proposed a deal with this guy.*
**[05:12] Raeliana**
*Could my taste in men be any worse?*
**[05:14] Noah**
I will take care of the Brooks family.
**[05:18] Noah**
You can just focus on acclimating
yourself to life here.
**[05:22] Noah**
Your bridal training will
begin in earnest tomorrow,
**[05:25] Noah**
but I hold no expectations for you.
**[05:28] Noah**
You needn't concern yourself with mastery.
**[05:32] Raeliana**
*Mastery? Who's worried about that?*
**[05:36] Raeliana**
Yes, I also have no intention
of becoming your perfect bride.
**[05:41] Raeliana**
I wouldn't ask as much of you, either.
**[05:44] Raeliana**
All I need you to do is keep up
the appearance of my fiancé.
**[05:50] Noah**
I see.
**[05:53] Noah**
I'll keep that in mind.
**[06:01] Raeliana**
Um... There is one thing
I'd like to ask you.
**[06:07] Raeliana**
Are there any others, excluding myself,
who know of our deal?
**[06:14] Raeliana**
I need to ensure
that our stories match if so.
**[06:19] Noah**
Currently, there are only two who know
of our deal other than you and me.
**[06:27] Noah**
One is someone you are already aware of.
**[06:30] Raeliana**
Master Taylor?
**[06:32] Noah**
Yes.
**[06:33] Noah**
And the other...
**[06:35] Noah**
Well, you'll know soon enough.
**[06:37] Raeliana**
*Oh... I bet he means his chief aide.*
**[06:40] Raeliana**
*He was in the novel, too.*
**[06:43] Raeliana**
*This does mean we'll have to play the part*
**[06:45] Raeliana**
* of a harmonious couple whenever*
* we're in this mansion, though.*
**[06:50] Noah**
I will have you conduct yourself as my
**[06:53] Noah**
beloved fiancée both
publicly and internally.
**[06:56] Raeliana**
W-Wait just a moment!
**[06:58] Noah**
What is it?
**[06:59] Raeliana**
Um...
**[07:01] Raeliana**
I believe we should discuss the more
detailed rules that aren't in the contract.
**[07:07] Raeliana**
First, please address me not
with formalities, but as "Raeliana."
**[07:13] Noah**
I will do that, Raeliana.
**[07:17] Raeliana**
Second, I understand that
you have your suspicions of me,
**[07:22] Raeliana**
but within this room, at the very least,
**[07:24] Raeliana**
could you please respect my privacy?
**[07:29] Noah**
If I refuse?
**[07:31] Raeliana**
Even now, I act with utmost
respect for your intentions.
**[07:37] Raeliana**
I simply hope you will understand that.
**[07:50] Noah**
Very well.
**[07:51] Noah**
And now, our fun must come to an end.
**[07:54] Noah**
I will take my leave.
**[07:56] Raeliana**
*Fun? How was that fun?*
**[08:00] Noah**
If there's anything you need,
don't hesitate to ask.
**[08:04] Noah**
There is nothing we
can't get for you here...
**[08:07] Noah**
Raeliana.
**[08:10] Raeliana**
To have you show such
consideration for me, Duke,
**[08:14] Raeliana**
makes me so happy, I feel like I could cry.
**[08:19] Raeliana**
In that case, I won't hesitate to ask.
**[08:22] Raeliana**
The one thing I want right now
is some time to myself.
**[08:27] Raeliana**
*Just get out of here!*
**[08:32] Noah**
If you are my fiancée, should you not
call me "Noah" rather than "Duke,"
**[08:38] Noah**
my beloved Raeliana?
**[08:43] Raeliana**
*That's right.*
**[08:45] Raeliana**
* I have to play the part*
* of his loving fiancée now.*
**[08:50] Raeliana**
* But that doesn't mean*
* I can just use his first name!*
**[08:54] Noah**
What's the matter?
**[08:56] Noah**
If you don't like that,
we could use pet names.
**[08:58] Raeliana**
No, that's quite all right.
I'll call you by name.
**[09:03] Noah**
Say it, then.
**[09:08] Raeliana**
I will, the next time I need something.
**[09:17] Noah**
Words don't always come naturally
when you need them to
**[09:21] Noah**
if you aren't accustomed to using them.
**[09:24] Noah**
Say my name right now.
**[09:28] Raeliana**
N-N... No...
**[09:31] Noah**
Come, now. Quickly.
**[09:34] Raeliana**
No...ah...
**[09:39] Raeliana**
Noah.
**[09:42] Raeliana**
*This jerk!*
**[09:45] Noah**
Well, that'll do.
**[09:53] Noah**
I will take my leave now, Raeliana.
**[10:02] Raeliana**
That... That... That jerk!
**[10:14] Noah**
Adam, what do you think of that girl?
**[10:25] Taylor**
She's strange.
**[10:30] Noah**
* That's an unusually*
* positive assessment for him.*
**[10:33] Noah**
*Does he actually like her?*
**[10:37] Noah**
"Strange," is she?
**[10:40] Noah**
Don't let her out of your sight.
**[10:52] Raeliana**
*Social etiquette.*
**[10:55] Raeliana**
*Embroidery.*
**[10:59] Raeliana**
*Dancing.*
**[11:00] Raeliana**
* I had no words for all*
* the things they made me do*
**[11:04] Raeliana**
*as part of my bridal training.*
**[11:08] Raeliana**
*But luckily for me,*
**[11:10] Raeliana**
* Raeliana McMillan was someone who had*
* grown up exposed to that sort of culture,*
**[11:15] Raeliana**
*so it all came naturally.*
**[11:18] Raeliana**
*The only problem is*
**[11:20] Raeliana**
* the differing range of education*
* associated with our differing ranks.*
**[11:23] Raeliana**
* The McMillans are common*
* nobles of the Estota class,*
**[11:27] Raeliana**
*and Raeliana is their daughter...*
**[11:30] Math Tutor**
It's time for your math lesson.
**[11:33] Raeliana**
* But if they think I'm just another*
* noble's daughter, they're very wrong!*
**[11:37] Raeliana**
* I was just studying*
* for college entrance exams.*
**[11:41] Raeliana**
* I can solve these problems*
* with my eyes closed.*
**[11:54] Raeliana**
It's been almost two weeks
since I came to the duke's mansion.
**[12:07] Raeliana**
*I'm so bored.*
**[12:18] Noah**
You feel the need to
wear leaves on your head?
**[12:21] Noah**
If you desire jewels,
I'll buy you as many as you want.
**[12:25] Raeliana**
*Damn him! Why is he so utterly revolting?*
**[12:30] Raeliana**
What brings you here today?
**[12:34] Raeliana**
*A bouquet? For me?*
**[12:51] Raeliana**
*Absolutely revolting!*
**[12:54] Raeliana**
*Calm down, me. Just hold it in...*
**[13:05] Noah**
My people have been hailing
you as the perfect bride,
**[13:08] Noah**
flawless and above all reproach.
**[13:11] Raeliana**
* Why is he suddenly speaking*
* to me respectfully?*
**[13:15] Noah**
You said you had no intention
of being my perfect bride.
**[13:19] Noah**
Why the change of heart?
**[13:21] Raeliana**
I-I'm simply studying to learn
things I didn't know before.
**[13:26] Raeliana**
It has nothing to do with you, Duke—
**[13:27] Noah**
Noah.
**[13:28] Raeliana**
It... has nothing to do with you, Noah.
**[13:34] Raeliana**
Besides, I'm forbidden
from leaving the mansion,
**[13:37] Noah**
so I have nothing to do
other than focus on my studies.
**[13:42] Noah**
You're saying it's my fault?
**[13:44] Raeliana**
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
**[13:47] Noah**
There happens to be a ball
that I am required to attend tonight.
**[13:51] Noah**
You will accompany me there.
**[13:53] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[13:54] Raeliana**
Well, I have nothing else to do...
**[13:58] Noah**
I plan to announce my engagement there.
**[14:03] Raeliana**
What?! You can't just do that without—
**[14:06] Noah**
Well, the engagement
ceremony is in one week.
**[14:10] Raeliana**
Engagement ceremony?! But...
**[14:13] ---**
**[14:14] Raeliana**
In what world can you have
an engagement ceremony
**[14:16] Raeliana**
without the engaged party's knowledge?!
**[14:18] Noah**
This world.
**[14:20] Raeliana**
*Oh, of course.*
**[14:23] Raeliana**
Well, then, I'll go get ready.
**[14:27] Noah**
No need for that.
**[14:31] Noah**
Come in.
**[14:33] Nick**
Well, well!
**[14:35] Nick**
If it isn't the young Miss McMillan!
What an honor!
**[14:39] Nick**
My name is Nick Maddox.
**[14:42] Nick**
I am the magician who will make
you shine at tonight's ball.
**[14:46] Nick**
Please, call me Nick.
**[14:48] Raeliana**
What is this?!
**[14:49] Noah**
I'll be off to get ready, as well.
**[14:52] Raeliana**
*Hang on!*
**[14:53] Noah**
Nick, take good care of my fiancée.
**[14:56] Raeliana**
Wait!
**[14:57] Nick**
Just leave it all to me!
**[15:00] Noah**
Well, then...
**[15:01] Noah**
I eagerly await the sight of you looking
even more beautiful than usual, Raeliana.
**[15:07] Raeliana**
Noah!
**[15:12] Nick**
Oh, yes! The wonders of youth!
**[15:17] Nick**
Your skin is so pliable!
**[15:20] Nick**
But then again...
**[15:22] Nick**
Oh, dear! Honey...
**[15:26] Raeliana**
*Honey?*
**[15:29] Nick**
Don't worry about the little things.
**[15:31] Nick**
Just come and look at this!
**[15:34] Nick**
Those bags under your eyes!
**[15:41] Nick**
Come here.
**[15:43] Nick**
I'll cover those up nice and neat for you.
**[15:46] Raeliana**
* I have been studying all the time*
* and not sleeping lately.*
**[15:49] Nick**
Oh, dear. Now that I look closer,
your skin is so rough.
**[15:53] Nick**
Sleep deprivation is beauty's
natural enemy, you know.
**[15:55] Nick**
How can you let yourself get this exhausted
when you're about to get married?
**[16:00] Nick**
But never fear!
**[16:03] Nick**
My magic can transform any type of skin
into smooth, silky beauty!
**[16:11] Raeliana**
B-By the way, um...
**[16:15] Raeliana**
How shall I address you?
**[16:17] Raeliana**
Would you prefer M-Madame?
**[16:20] Nick**
Non, non! I am Monsieur Nick.
**[16:27] Nick**
Yes! Very nice!
**[16:35] Nick**
Ta-dah! What do you think?
**[16:41] Raeliana**
Monsieur Nick, you're amazing!
**[16:45] Nick**
Please, just call me "Nick."
**[16:47] Raeliana**
Is this really my skin? I look like a doll!
**[16:52] Nick**
Do you believe me now?
**[16:55] Nick**
With my power, I will make you
the star of the ball tonight.
**[17:04] Raeliana**
Nick!
**[17:07] Nick**
Mademoiselle!
**[17:19] Raeliana**
Wow...
**[17:20] Raeliana**
I can't believe I get to
wear such a gorgeous dress.
**[17:24] Nick**
Très bien!
**[17:27] Nick**
I knew it would suit you perfectly.
**[17:29] Raeliana**
This is all thanks to you, Nick!
**[17:33] Nick**
All right, come sit down.
**[17:35] Nick**
I'll do your hair next.
**[17:39] Nick**
High society values
nothing more than a smile.
**[17:43] Nick**
Two different types are popular right now.
**[17:46] Nick**
One is this: the Noah Wynknight smile.
**[17:50] Nick**
It is offered to everyone equally,
and though it may look sincere,
**[17:54] Nick**
the true message is: "You have
no business speaking to me."
**[17:59] Raeliana**
Nick...
**[18:01] Nick**
Ah, but only Noah Wynknight can pull
that one off, so never mind.
**[18:06] Raeliana**
I guess I wasn't the only
one who felt that way.
**[18:12] Nick**
Seeing the true feelings hidden
**[18:15] Nick**
behind a smile is a trivial
matter for Monsieur Nick!
**[18:19] Nick**
And the other is the Vivian Shamal smile.
**[18:22] Raeliana**
Vivian Shamal?
**[18:25] Nick**
She's a real vixen.
**[18:27] Raeliana**
Huh? A vixen?
**[18:30] Nick**
Anyway, putting the little things aside...
**[18:32] Nick**
This is the Vivian Shamal smile.
**[18:38] Raeliana**
He's a pro.
**[18:39] Nick**
And finally, this is the smile
that you will make popular.
**[18:44] Nick**
Feel free to call it the Nick Maddox smile.
**[18:50] Nick**
Go on. Do what I do.
**[18:52] Raeliana**
*Easy for him to say!*
**[18:54] Nick**
Non, non, non!
**[18:55] Nick**
Your eyes and mouth are too tight!
**[18:58] Nick**
Picture the face
of the person you hate the most.
**[19:04] (Flashback) Brooks**
However you may fight it,
you can't escape this marriage.
**[19:10] Nick**
If you saw that person again,
**[19:12] Nick**
would you shoot them
in the head or the chest?
**[19:14] Raeliana**
Without a doubt, the head.
**[19:17] Nick**
Then imagine you're about
to land that head shot!
**[19:20] Raeliana**
Yes, sir!
**[19:22] Nick**
Not "sir"! I'm Nick!
**[19:24] Raeliana**
Yes, Nick!
**[19:33] Raeliana**
Master Taylor.
**[19:36] Raeliana**
What do you think?
I don't look strange, do I?
**[19:46] Raeliana**
*I guess I shouldn't expect him to answer me.*
**[19:49] Gideon**
Miss McMillan...
**[19:51] Gideon**
The master awaits you in his study.
**[19:54] Gideon**
Allow me to escort you there.
**[19:56] Raeliana**
Thank you, Gideon.
**[19:59] Gideon**
You look truly beautiful, Miss McMillan.
**[20:04] Raeliana**
You honor me.
**[20:08] Gideon**
Master, the young Miss McMillan's
preparations are complete.
**[20:13] Noah**
Enter.
**[20:16] Noah**
Wait just a moment.
Once I finish this, we'll go—
**[20:23] Raeliana**
Do I look strange?
**[20:27] Raeliana**
*Why isn't he saying anything?*
**[20:29] Raeliana**
*I was sure he'd say something snarky again.*
**[20:55] Raeliana**
* I guess he doesn't even want to*
* bother with flattery for me.*
**[21:01] Gideon**
I have arranged the carriage.
**[21:12] Gideon**
I'm certain he is being bashful
because you look so beautiful.
**[21:17] Raeliana**
Bashful? *Him*?
**[21:22] Raeliana**
*No way.*
**[21:29] Maid**
Have a lovely evening, Miss McMillan.
**[21:32] Raeliana**
Thank you.
**[21:47] Maid**
Have a lovely evening, Lady Vivian.
**[22:05] Raeliana**
Noah, do you know about the two types of
smiles that are popular in high society?
**[22:17] Raeliana**
*That's...*
**[22:20] Raeliana**
*the Noah Wynknight smile!*

**[00:19] Noah**
Do not leave my sight
for more than five minutes.
**[00:22] Raeliana**
What a funny joke.
**[00:24] Raeliana**
You know ladies need time
to fix their makeup.
**[00:33] Raeliana**
*He got more guards?!*
**[00:37] Raeliana**
*And four of them, not counting Adam?!*
**[00:46] Raeliana**
*Could he trust me any less?!*
**[02:24] Guests**
It's Miss Raeliana.
**[02:26] Guests**
The one they all talk about?
**[02:27] Guests**
That's her?
**[02:31] Guests**
She's beautiful...
**[02:33] Raeliana**
*Everyone's looking at me.*
**[02:35] Eriteal**
Oh, my lord Duke.
**[02:38] Eriteal**
Congratulations on your engagement.
**[02:41] Noah**
Ah, Marquess Eriteal. Thank you.
**[02:46] Eriteal**
A pleasure to meet you, Miss McMillan.
**[02:50] Raeliana**
The pleasure is mine.
**[02:51] Raeliana**
My name is Raeliana McMillan.
**[02:54] Man1**
So that's Miss Raeliana McMillan?
**[02:57] Man2**
The one Duke Wynknight chose?
**[03:00] Man2**
I heard he'll be formally
announcing their engagement here.
**[03:03] Woman1**
Isn't Lady Vivian Shamal
here tonight, as well?
**[03:08] Raeliana**
*Vivian Shamal...*
**[03:11] (Flashback) Nick**
She's a real vixen.
**[03:14] Eriteal**
Dear me! What a beautiful young lady!
**[03:17] Eriteal**
I can see why the Duke and
the Brooks household are at odds.
**[03:22] Eriteal**
It's no wonder you've seemed
to be happy of late, sir.
**[03:26] Noah**
Have I really?
**[03:28] Raeliana**
*Yep, there's the Noah Wynknight smile.*
**[03:32] Noah**
Meeting this lady was indeed
the greatest fortune I could ask for.
**[03:43] Noble1**
Miss McMillan, may I have this dance?
**[03:46] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[03:48] Noble2**
No, dance with me!
**[03:49] Noble3**
No, me!
**[03:50] Raeliana**
*Right... Smile, smile...*
**[03:57] Noah**
I do apologize.
**[04:00] Lady1**
Hey, did you see that?
**[04:01] Lady2**
How wonderful!
**[04:01] Ladies**
What a gentleman!
**[04:02] Ladies**
That's the Duke for you!
**[04:04] Raeliana**
*He's acting! He's just acting!*
**[04:07] Raeliana**
* I mean, he's definitely the type who'd*
* keep his girlfriend on a tight leash.*
**[04:13] Raeliana**
*Even for the novel's heroine,*
**[04:15] Raeliana**
* to be bound to*
* a restrictive guy like this...*
**[04:18] Raeliana**
*I feel for Beatrice.*
**[04:23] Noah**
May I have this dance?
**[04:32] Raeliana**
With pleasure.
**[05:58] Noah**
Why do you look like a little village
girl who's been sold off into marriage?
**[06:04] Raeliana**
How very like you to know
so well how I feel inside.
**[06:09] Noah**
What are you talking about?
**[06:10] Noah**
I'm the one being held captive.
**[06:13] Raeliana**
* Excuse me?! You're enjoying*
* the hell out of this!*
**[06:17] Noah**
Watch your expressions.
**[06:20] Noah**
Everyone will notice right away
that you're my false fiancée
**[06:23] Noah**
if you keep making faces like that.
**[06:29] Raeliana**
You're such a cheat!
**[06:31] Noah**
What's the matter, blackmailer?
**[06:34] Raeliana**
What a thing to say to a lady!
**[06:37] Raeliana**
I wish everyone else could
hear you talking like this!
**[06:41] Noah**
I wouldn't mind that.
**[06:42] Noah**
As a certain someone said, I *am* a cheat.
**[06:50] Raeliana**
Oh, dear. Pardon me.
**[06:52] Noah**
Oh?
**[07:07] Noah**
It appears you still need
more practice, Raeliana.
**[07:17] Raeliana**
It would seem so.
**[07:21] Nick**
Oh, my! Your hairstyle is just lovely!
**[07:24] Nick**
And your dress is beautiful!
**[07:25] Nick**
Did you just buy those earrings?
**[07:27] Nick**
They suit you so well!
**[07:29] Raeliana**
*Nick is the same no matter where he goes.*
**[07:37] Raeliana**
* I keep getting the feeling*
* someone's watching me...*
**[07:44] Raeliana**
*It's not Master Taylor or the other guards.*
**[07:47] Raeliana**
* With this many people here,*
* I can't even guess who it is.*
**[08:02] Female Guest**
It's Lady Vivian.
**[08:04] Male Guest**
Lady Vivian...
**[08:05] Raeliana**
*Vivian?*
**[08:07] Servant**
*Of course! Vivian Shamal!*
**[08:14] Raeliana**
*I knew that name sounded familiar.*
**[08:17] Raeliana**
* She's a very important*
* character in the novel.*
**[08:21] Raeliana**
* She tried everything in her power*
* to appeal to Noah,*
**[08:24] Raeliana**
*but he wouldn't give her the time of day.*
**[08:27] Raeliana**
*Her heart broken,*
**[08:29] Raeliana**
* she accepted a timely marriage*
* proposal from the king,*
**[08:32] Raeliana**
* and now she's undergoing her education*
* as the only candidate for future queen.*
**[08:38] Raeliana**
* But once the novel's heroine, Beatrice,*
* enters a relationship with Noah,*
**[08:44] Raeliana**
* Vivian tries to get*
* between them at every step.*
**[08:49] Raeliana**
* She's basically positioned*
* as the book's villainess.*
**[08:51] Raeliana**
*This is...*
**[08:54] Raeliana**
*Vivian Shamal.*
**[09:07] Lady1**
Lady Vivian, I hope
the evening finds you well.
**[09:11] Lady2**
You are as beautiful
as ever. How I envy you.
**[09:14] Raeliana**
* Wow, she definitely looks*
* like a total villainess...*
**[09:19] Raeliana**
*Hang on.*
**[09:21] Raeliana**
* If she tried to get*
* between Beatrice and Noah...*
**[09:25] Raeliana**
* Since I'm his fiancée now,*
* does that mean I'll be her target?!*
**[09:31] Raeliana**
*Just dealing with Noah is bad enough!*
**[09:34] Raeliana**
* If I have her gunning for me too,*
* I'm done for!*
**[09:38] Noah**
Raeliana...
**[09:40] Raeliana**
Y-Yes?
**[09:42] Raeliana**
Uh...
**[09:44] Noah**
What are you doing?
**[09:46] Raeliana**
Oh, nothing...
**[09:48] Raeliana**
My shoulders just felt a bit stiff.
**[09:51] Noah**
Do you remember the promise you made
when we negotiated our contract?
**[09:56] Raeliana**
Promise?
**[09:58] (Flashback) Noah**
For as long as this farce goes on,
**[10:00] (Flashback) Noah**
you will play your part as my
fiancée whenever I need you to.
**[10:06] Raeliana**
Oh...
**[10:09] Raeliana**
And you need that right now?
**[10:12] Noah**
Yes.
**[10:13] Noah**
For that woman.
**[10:19] Raeliana**
Noah, are you still mad at me
for stepping on your foot earlier?
**[10:24] Raeliana**
That's Vivian Shamal, right?!
So does that mean...
**[10:28] Raeliana**
* He wants to throw me at*
* her as a decoy so he can get away?!*
**[10:34] Noah**
I'm talking about the woman beside her.
**[10:37] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[10:40] Noah**
Freese Eriteal,
**[10:42] Noah**
the wife of Marquess Eriteal.
**[10:44] Raeliana**
Marquess Eriteal...
**[10:46] Raeliana**
*That guy with the mustache?*
**[10:49] Raeliana**
*That's his wife?!*
**[10:50] Raeliana**
*Not his daughter?!*
**[10:52] Noah**
There's a group that certain
wives of old nobles are part of.
**[10:56] Noah**
What it's called and who's
part of it are unknown.
**[10:58] Noah**
Only wives of high nobles who are friendly
with each other are allowed to join.
**[11:04] Noah**
Because the high status of their
husbands reaches them as well,
**[11:07] Noah**
the things these women discuss
with each other affect the whole kingdom.
**[11:11] Noah**
At least, some joke that they do.
**[11:15] Noah**
Raeliana...
**[11:17] Noah**
I need you to receive an invitation
to that group from her.
**[11:22] Noah**
I'm counting on you.
**[11:29] Raeliana**
I thought you doubted my intentions.
**[11:33] Raeliana**
If I were to join that group and
tell them a mixture of fact and fiction,
**[11:38] Raeliana**
what would you do?
**[11:39] Noah**
Do as you please.
**[11:40] Noah**
It is my policy to use
whatever I have at my disposal.
**[11:44] Raeliana**
*Who's using whom, exactly?*
**[11:48] Raeliana**
You owe me one after this.
**[11:52] Raeliana**
And it's going to be a *very* big favor!
**[11:56] Raeliana**
I intend to make sure you return that favor.
**[11:59] Raeliana**
Don't forget that.
**[12:01] Raeliana**
Unfortunately for you, I also use
whatever I have at my disposal.
**[12:22] Freese**
Excuse me... May I have a plate?
**[12:26] Servant**
Of course.
**[12:36] Servant**
I-I'll bring something to wipe
that off with at once!
**[12:39] Freese**
I-I'm so sorry!
**[12:41] Raeliana**
Don't worry about it.
**[12:43] Raeliana**
More importantly,
we should clean off your hands.
**[12:48] Freese**
Right...
**[12:50] Raeliana**
*Plan successful!*
**[12:53] Raeliana**
Let's go to another room.
**[12:56] Vivian**
So you are Miss McMillan?
**[13:05] Vivian**
What an honor it is to meet you.
**[13:09] Raeliana**
*Oh, crap.*
**[13:13] Raeliana**
It is I who am honored to meet you,
Lady Vivian Shamal.
**[13:18] Vivian**
Oh, you know who I am?
**[13:22] Raeliana**
But of course.
**[13:24] Raeliana**
There is no one in this
kingdom who doesn't know you.
**[13:28] Raeliana**
I have an urgent matter
to attend to at the moment.
**[13:31] Raeliana**
Do forgive me, if you please.
**[13:35] Vivian**
Let me bring something
for you to wipe your hands with.
**[13:37] Raeliana**
No, this will require water to wash clean.
**[13:40] Raeliana**
Only my glove was soiled,
**[13:43] Raeliana**
but I fear having it on her hands
will be inconvenient for my lady.
**[13:48] Vivian**
My lady...
**[13:51] Vivian**
You would be fine with simply
wiping your hands, would you not?
**[13:54] Freese**
Y-Yes... That would be fine.
**[13:59] Raeliana**
* She's not going to be easy*
* to deal with, is she?*
**[14:02] Vivian**
Miss McMillan, I have heard much about you.
**[14:07] Vivian**
They say you have
remarkable academic talent.
**[14:10] Vivian**
As a member of the Estota class,
**[14:12] Vivian**
I'm sure you had little
opportunity to study.
**[14:15] Raeliana**
* She just had to go out of her way to bring*
* up that abolished class system.*
**[14:20] Raeliana**
* She really wants to stress*
* that she's above me, doesn't she?*
**[14:24] Raeliana**
* No matter what age you live in,*
* if someone throws down the gauntlet...*
**[14:28] Raeliana**
*It's common courtesy to pick it up.*
**[14:31] Raeliana**
My!
**[14:32] Raeliana**
What an honor it is to receive
a compliment from you!
**[14:36] Raeliana**
You are correct.
**[14:37] Raeliana**
As part of the Estota class,
I had few opportunities.
**[14:42] Raeliana**
But I'm sure learning even
more difficult subjects
**[14:45] Raeliana**
in such a short time would
have been challenging.
**[14:49] Raeliana**
To make up for my lack
of experience and knowledge,
**[14:51] Raeliana**
I have devoted myself to my studies so that
I won't shame the Duke's good name.
**[14:56] Raeliana**
But to receive such praise
from you makes all the effort worthwhile!
**[15:02] Vivian**
Well, how lovely.
**[15:06] Raeliana**
* Even a monkey could have*
* solved those problems.*
**[15:09] Vivian**
I had heard that many of the women of
**[15:12] Vivian**
the Estota class carried
themselves quite confidently.
**[15:15] Vivian**
It appears that was true.
**[15:17] Raeliana**
*Her smile isn't reaching her eyes...*
**[15:20] Raeliana**
* So she's saying someone who's ranked*
* lower should act more humble, huh?*
**[15:26] Raeliana**
Thanks to His Majesty, the status
of women in society has risen.
**[15:29] Raeliana**
Current trends value a proactive attitude,
**[15:33] Raeliana**
especially among the younger generation,
who are more perceptive of changing times.
**[15:38] Raeliana**
Though I'm sure those of the
older generations find it undesirable...
**[15:45] Raeliana**
Please overlook this as just another
part of the new age we live in.
**[15:50] Raeliana**
*Humble, my ass!*
**[15:52] Raeliana**
* What century does she*
* think we're in, anyway?!*
**[15:59] Freese**
Lady Vivian...
**[16:01] Vivian**
Miss McMillan, you may have academic talent,
**[16:05] Vivian**
but it seems you still have much
to learn about etiquette.
**[16:08] Raeliana**
It is my greatest shame.
**[16:11] Vivian**
I—
**[16:12] Nick**
Well, well! I wondered who that was!
**[16:13] Nick**
If it isn't Lady Vivian!
**[16:16] Raeliana**
Nick?
**[16:17] Nick**
When did you get here?
**[16:20] Nick**
You have so little presence,
I didn't even notice.
**[16:24] Vivian**
Nick Maddox...
**[16:27] Nick**
Oh! I'm so honored that you remember me!
**[16:30] Vivian**
I see you still manage to sneak around,
**[16:33] Vivian**
despite having the physique of a bear.
**[16:36] Vivian**
You're quite the little mouse.
**[16:38] Nick**
Oh, but I quite like mice. They're adorable.
**[16:43] Nick**
And much better than malicious
little vixens who always put on airs.
**[16:47] ---**
**[16:49] Vivian**
When did you become friends
with Miss McMillan?
**[16:52] Vivian**
You two are quite the lovely match.
So very much alike.
**[16:56] Nick**
Ah... bitchoo!
**[16:59] Nick**
Oh, I'm so sorry!
**[17:01] Nick**
That sneeze came out of nowhere!
**[17:03] Nick**
I'm allergic to vixens, you see.
**[17:07] Nick**
Ah-bitchoo!
**[17:09] Raeliana**
*Allergic to vixens?!*
**[17:12] Vivian**
How dare you?! I will not
tolerate such rudeness!
**[17:14] Raeliana**
*Oh, right!*
**[17:15] Nick**
Whatever do you mean?
**[17:15] Raeliana**
Let's go wash your hands.
**[17:16] Nick**
I just thought perhaps there was
a vixen out in the courtyard or something.
**[17:22] Raeliana**
*Thanks, Nick.*
**[17:22] Vivian**
You had the nerve to interrupt
when I was talking before, too!
**[17:29] Raeliana**
Let's wash your hands
in that room over there.
**[17:32] Freese**
U-Um...
**[17:33] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[17:36] Freese**
Will those people be
coming with us, as well?
**[17:53] Raeliana**
I'm sorry, but would you please
leave us for the time being?
**[18:04] Raeliana**
Then could that lady knight over there...
**[18:07] Ansley**
I am Ansley.
**[18:09] Raeliana**
All right.
**[18:10] Raeliana**
Could all of you but Dame Ansley
please return to the ballroom?
**[18:16] Raeliana**
Please tell Noah that
I'm with Marquess Eriteal's wife.
**[18:23] Raeliana**
I greatly appreciate it.
**[18:33] Raeliana**
Come along, my lady.
**[18:37] Ansley**
*Adam Taylor is taking orders
from someone* other *than our master?*
**[18:43] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley?
**[18:45] Ansley**
Yes, right away!
**[18:57] Raeliana**
Please, use this.
**[19:00] Freese**
Thank you.
**[19:05] Freese**
My household may be of the nobility,
but our territory is small.
**[19:09] Freese**
After being stricken by several
disasters in recent years,
**[19:12] Freese**
some now call it a ghost town.
**[19:14] Freese**
I only came to the capital
after I married the marquess,
**[19:18] Freese**
so I'm not used to things yet.
**[19:20] Raeliana**
* So that's why she was hanging*
* out with Vivian Shamal.*
**[19:24] Raeliana**
I can relate.
**[19:27] Raeliana**
My circumstances also
changed quite abruptly,
**[19:30] Raeliana**
and I struggled to get used to the change.
**[19:35] Raeliana**
It's been hard on you, hasn't it?
**[19:42] Raeliana**
I met your husband, the marquess, earlier.
**[19:45] Raeliana**
He's a very dignified man, isn't he?
**[19:48] Freese**
Yes...
**[19:50] Raeliana**
*Oh, crap! Maybe I shouldn't have said that!*
**[19:55] Raeliana**
* She does look at least two*
* decades younger than him...*
**[19:58] Raeliana**
* Maybe she was forced to marry him*
* for political reasons?!*
**[20:05] Raeliana**
*Wh-Wh-Wh-What do I do now?!*
**[20:07] Raeliana**
*Gotta change the subject! New topic!*
**[20:10] Raeliana**
B-By the way,
**[20:11] Raeliana**
I heard there's a group that
all the noble wives are a part of.
**[20:15] Freese**
Oh... Yes.
**[20:17] Freese**
Many of the women at
the ball tonight are members of it.
**[20:22] Raeliana**
I see.
**[20:24] Raeliana**
What sort of group is it?
**[20:26] Freese**
Huh?
**[20:27] Raeliana**
I'm a bit envious.
**[20:28] Raeliana**
I haven't had many opportunities
to interact with other noblewomen.
**[20:33] Freese**
Miss McMillan...
**[20:35] Raeliana**
* Not that I ever wanted to*
* in the first place.*
**[20:39] Raeliana**
Please, call me "Raeliana."
**[20:44] Freese**
In that case, um... Madam Raeliana...
**[20:47] Freese**
Would you like to join the group?
**[20:50] Raeliana**
What?
**[20:51] Freese**
I mean...
**[20:52] Freese**
It would be reassuring for me to
have someone there who can help me, too.
**[20:57] Raeliana**
I really can?
**[20:58] Freese**
Yes, by all means.
**[21:00] Raeliana**
That makes me so happy!
**[21:02] Raeliana**
I hope we can be good friends from now on!
**[21:05] Freese**
I hope so, as well.
**[21:08] Freese**
In that case, I'll send you
an invitation in the coming days.
**[21:12] Raeliana**
Thank you so much!
**[21:14] Raeliana**
*That was a cinch!*
**[21:15] Raeliana**
*And now Noah owes me one!*
**[21:17] Raeliana**
*What should I ask him to do?*
**[21:20] Raeliana**
Well, shall we return to the ballroom?
**[21:23] Freese**
Yes.
**[21:30] Raeliana**
What?!
**[21:33] Raeliana**
A fire?!
**[21:35] Ansley**
*I don't smell anything burning.*
**[21:37] Ansley**
* So it's not a fire,*
* but a deliberate smokescreen?!*
**[21:40] Ansley**
Miss McMillan! Are you all right?!
**[21:42] Ansley**
Miss McMillan!
**[21:45] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley!
**[21:48] Raeliana**
*I can't breathe... Noah...*

**[01:59] Brooks**
*Turning the love of women into money...*
**[02:02] Brooks**
*That was how I always did things.*
**[02:05] Brooks**
*All the women who were dazzled by my status*
**[02:07] Brooks**
*and came to court me...*
**[02:10] Brooks**
* Jake Langston's little sister*
* was one of them.*
**[02:15] Brooks**
*But...*
**[02:17] Brooks**
*Unlike the other women,*
**[02:19] Brooks**
* she tried to take her own life*
* in hopes of saving my soul.*
**[02:27] Brooks**
*All I did was try to stop her!*
**[02:31] (Flashback) Brooks**
What are you doing?! Stop!
**[02:43] (Flashback) Brooks**
N-No... I didn't do this!
**[02:53] (Flashback) Jake**
Do you...
**[02:55] (Flashback) Jake**
have money?
**[02:57] (Flashback) Jake**
Yeah, I guess a guy who tricks a woman
into financially supporting him
**[03:01] (Flashback) Jake**
probably wouldn't have money, huh?
**[03:08] (Flashback) Jake**
Get yourself engaged to that woman.
**[03:11] (Flashback) Jake**
Her name's Raeliana McMillan.
**[03:13] (Flashback) Jake**
She's nothing special,
just a baron's daughter,
**[03:16] (Flashback) Jake**
but she's one of those "nouveau riche."
**[03:20] (Flashback) Brooks**
And what am I supposed to
do once I'm engaged to her?
**[03:30] (Flashback) Jake**
Relax. After you've done it once,
**[03:33] (Flashback) Jake**
the second time is no big deal.
**[03:38] Jake**
*Right, Francis Brooks?*
**[03:42] Brooks**
*It's not my fault!*
**[03:45] Brooks**
*I just had bad luck!*
**[03:48] Brooks**
*All because I chose that woman...*
**[03:52] Brooks**
*Damn it!*
**[03:55] Brooks**
There's no...
**[03:57] Brooks**
going back now.
**[04:16] Raeliana**
*Where am I?*
**[04:18] Jake**
You're awake now?
**[04:22] Jake**
And how are you feeling, Miss McMillan?
**[04:28] Raeliana**
Wh-Who are you?
**[04:31] Raeliana**
*I remember... going to the ball,*
**[04:35] Raeliana**
* and getting close to Marquess Eriteal's*
* wife because Noah asked me to...*
**[04:40] Raeliana**
*And then, smoke started filling the room...*
**[04:44] Raeliana**
*Was I abducted?!*
**[04:46] Raeliana**
* There's only one person*
* who'd do something like this.*
**[04:50] Raeliana**
*Francis Brooks!*
**[04:53] Raeliana**
*That absolute coward!*
**[04:56] Jake**
What's wrong? Can't even speak?
**[05:03] Raeliana**
Come any closer, and I'll scream!
**[05:09] Raeliana**
Someone help me!
**[05:11] Raeliana**
Hello! Is anyone out there?! Please!
**[05:14] Jake**
Scream all you want.
**[05:15] Raeliana**
Someone!
**[05:16] Jake**
Nobody's gonna come for you.
**[05:16] Raeliana**
Someone... Someone help me!
**[05:20] Raeliana**
I've been abducted!
There's a kidnapper here!
**[05:23] Raeliana**
Please! Is anyone out there?! Please!
**[05:28] Raeliana**
There's really nobody around?
**[05:31] Jake**
It'd be smarter of you to just keep quiet.
**[05:34] Jake**
So long as you do as I say,
I'll be nice to you.
**[05:39] Raeliana**
Don't think you can kidnap
the beloved fiancée of Duke Wynknight
**[05:45] Raeliana**
and get away with it!
**[05:48] Raeliana**
*Not that I have any love for him, either.*
**[05:52] Jake**
You don't seem to understand
the situation you're in.
**[05:57] Raeliana**
You're the one who doesn't understand!
**[06:00] Raeliana**
You won't get any money
out of killing me here.
**[06:09] Jake**
Is that supposed to be a threat?
**[06:12] Jake**
Are you trying to keep me
from doing anything to you?
**[06:15] Jake**
So basically, as long as you're
still alive, anything goes?
**[06:19] Raeliana**
*No! If he ruins my face...*
**[06:24] Raeliana**
I'm shorry.
**[06:26] Jake**
Say what?
**[06:28] Raeliana**
I shaid... I'm shorry.
**[06:35] Jake**
What the hell, girl?
**[06:37] Jake**
You're actually kinda cute!
**[06:40] Raeliana**
Then can you just let me go home now?
**[06:43] Jake**
You just stay right there and keep quiet.
**[06:46] Jake**
You don't want your precious face to be hurt
right before you get married, do you?
**[06:52] Raeliana**
*He's serious.*
**[06:54] Raeliana**
*He'll really kill me if it comes down to it.*
**[06:59] Raeliana**
*Between this guy and Brooks...*
**[07:02] Raeliana**
* Seems like I'm surrounded*
* by horrible people.*
**[07:14] Raeliana**
Hey.
**[07:16] Raeliana**
Why are you doing this?
**[07:19] Raeliana**
You can at least tell me
that much, can't you?
**[07:26] Jake**
My little sister died.
**[07:30] Jake**
Sophie died because of him.
**[07:39] Jake**
Isn't it natural to avenge
the death of a family member?
**[07:43] Raeliana**
Are you saying...
**[07:45] Raeliana**
Lord Brooks killed your sister?
**[07:48] Jake**
Yeah, pretty much.
**[07:51] Raeliana**
Your sister...
**[07:54] Raeliana**
Your sister wouldn't want you to do this!
**[07:58] Jake**
What?
**[07:59] Raeliana**
If she knew her brother was sullying
his own hands to avenge her...
**[08:06] Raeliana**
It would make your sister in heaven so sad!
**[08:10] Raeliana**
So please... stop this foolishness!
**[08:17] Jake**
Did you actually think platitudes like
that would convince me?
**[08:21] Jake**
It'd make my sister sad?
**[08:23] Jake**
As long as I get my money,
I don't give a shit about that!
**[08:32] Jake**
Nobles think they can solve any problem
as long as they have their status.
**[08:37] Jake**
What a bunch of idiots.
**[08:39] Jake**
He's a great example!
**[08:43] Jake**
The eldest son of the Brooks family,
**[08:45] Jake**
getting involved in crime
for the sake of money.
**[08:49] Jake**
Money is all that really
matters in this world!
**[08:52] Jake**
Giving my sister a nice grave
is what would really make her happy!
**[08:57] Jake**
She's already dead, after all!
**[09:01] Raeliana**
*It's no use.*
**[09:03] Raeliana**
*Nothing I say to him will do any good.*
**[09:07] Raeliana**
* Platitudes like those only*
* work in books and movies.*
**[09:12] Raeliana**
* Besides, I'm not even*
* the protagonist of this story.*
**[09:20] Jake**
Wh-What the...
**[09:22] Brooks**
Langston!
**[09:25] Jake**
What happened?
**[09:27] Brooks**
A wheel broke.
**[09:29] Jake**
What?
**[09:34] Jake**
A landslide, huh?
**[09:38] Jake**
We'll ditch the carriage
and head into the woods, then.
**[09:41] Jake**
You keep an eye on the woman.
**[09:44] Raeliana**
*What in the world happened?*
**[09:50] Raeliana**
Francis Brooks...
**[09:57] Brooks**
If you had just been
a good girl and married me,
**[10:00] Brooks**
everything would have gone smoothly.
**[10:03] Raeliana**
If we had gotten married,
would you have let me live?
**[10:08] Raeliana**
I know you wanted to kill me.
**[10:11] Raeliana**
You planned to kill me by putting
arsenic in my evening tea, didn't you?
**[10:15] Brooks**
How... do you...
**[10:25] Brooks**
Raeliana!
**[10:26] Jake**
Hey! What the hell are you doing?!
**[10:29] Brooks**
She's as quick as a damn mouse!
**[10:42] Raeliana**
What in the world is going on?
**[10:45] Raeliana**
I don't want to die.
**[10:47] Raeliana**
I'm scared. Someone help me.
**[10:51] Raeliana**
I want to go home.
**[10:56] Raeliana**
Wait, no! Stop!
**[10:58] Raeliana**
Why am I setting my own death flags here?!
**[11:01] Raeliana**
If I keep this up, I'll just be some
side character who randomly croaks!
**[11:06] Raeliana**
I have to keep it together!
I can't die here!
**[11:58] Raeliana**
Taylor!
**[12:04] Raeliana**
You saved me!
**[12:18] Jake**
Those red eyes...
**[12:20] Jake**
You must be the famous Adam Taylor.
**[12:24] Jake**
It's such an honor to meet you.
**[12:27] Raeliana**
*Wh-What's going on here?*
**[12:31] Adam**
I will handle this.
**[12:34] Raeliana**
*Is he awaiting my orders?*
**[12:37] Raeliana**
Master Taylor, have him—
**[12:39] Jake**
My name is Jake Langston. I'm 27 years old.
**[12:44] Jake**
As I said earlier,
my younger sister's already dead,
**[12:47] Jake**
and my mother was left to live
alone on our land, drowning in debt.
**[12:53] Raeliana**
*Where'd all that come from?*
**[12:55] Jake**
The debt's so deep that even if
we sold the land and our status,
**[13:00] Jake**
it wouldn't be enough to repay it.
**[13:02] Jake**
Even my mother, who grew up a noble
and never wanted for anything,
**[13:07] Jake**
will have to work until the day she dies.
**[13:12] Jake**
If I'm apprehended now,
I'll probably be imprisoned for life.
**[13:16] Jake**
I doubt they'd execute me,
since I'm a noble myself.
**[13:20] Jake**
So yeah, go ahead and kill
me if you think you can!
**[13:24] Jake**
But unlike that murderer there,
I bet you'll never be able to forget me
**[13:30] Jake**
or my mother, either.
**[13:33] Raeliana**
Don't call Master Taylor a murderer!
**[13:36] Jake**
Oh, come on. That's not
the important part here, is it?
**[13:41] Raeliana**
*Everything he says is so infuriating!*
**[13:44] Raeliana**
*But... he's exactly right.*
**[13:46] Raeliana**
* If I kill him here,*
* I'll never get over the guilt.*
**[13:51] Raeliana**
* And I don't want to give*
* Adam orders to kill anyone.*
**[13:56] Raeliana**
Master Taylor, would it be
possible to capture him alive?
**[14:02] Jake**
* Didn't expect them*
* to track me down this quickly.*
**[14:05] Jake**
*No choice now, I guess.*
**[14:20] Jake**
Hah! Didn't take you long to show up!
**[14:36] Raeliana**
*Wh-What the heck is this?!*
**[14:39] Jake**
*It's a secret drug that lures monsters.*
**[14:43] Jake**
* Wasn't expecting it to bag me*
* a mountain monkfish, though.*
**[14:56] Jake**
* Even Adam Taylor won't have an easy*
* time with a monster like that.*
**[15:16] Raeliana**
Master Taylor! There's a cliff behind us!
**[15:34] Raeliana**
*Why...*
**[15:37] Raeliana**
* I want to tell Adam to get away*
* as quickly as he can, but I...*
**[15:45] Raeliana**
* This feeling of being pushed off*
* the edge in the darkness...*
**[15:50] Raeliana**
*I recognize this.*
**[15:53] Raeliana**
*This feeling...*
**[15:56] Raeliana**
*I'm going to end up dead this time, too?*
**[16:20] Raeliana**
Noah?
**[16:24] Noah**
Raeliana...
**[16:28] Raeliana**
Hang on! Put me down right now!
**[16:31] Noah**
Just hold still.
**[16:32] Raeliana**
Master Taylor is in danger!
**[16:35] Noah**
Adam is?
**[16:39] Raeliana**
We have to hurry!
**[16:42] Raeliana**
*But... how is he so calm right now?*
**[16:50] Noah**
Looks like he made quite the show of it.
**[17:08] Raeliana**
* So this isn't even unusual*
* to the people of this world?*
**[17:14] Raeliana**
*A monster like this?*
**[17:16] Raeliana**
*It's so hard...*
**[17:18] Raeliana**
*It feels like a rock.*
**[17:20] Raeliana**
*And he took it down so easily?*
**[17:23] Noah**
And you let them go?
**[17:28] Raeliana**
*If only I hadn't hesitated,*
**[17:30] Raeliana**
* Jake Langston would have been*
* apprehended for sure.*
**[17:37] Ansley**
My lady!
**[17:39] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley!
**[17:41] Ansley**
You aren't hurt, are you?
**[17:42] Raeliana**
No. I'm sorry for worrying you.
**[17:46] Raeliana**
Anyway, is that...
**[17:48] Ansley**
Yes.
**[17:49] Ansley**
We found him on the road,
and he fled the moment he saw us.
**[17:54] Raeliana**
Th-That's him!
**[17:55] Raeliana**
He was working with
Francis Brooks to abduct me!
**[17:59] Ansley**
We were right to capture him.
**[18:13] Noah**
Each of you will search
your assigned areas.
**[18:16] Noah**
Inform me the moment you
locate Francis Brooks.
**[18:20] Knights**
Right!
**[18:26] Raeliana**
Thank... you.
**[18:34] Raeliana**
*A gun?*
**[18:36] Knight**
There he is!
**[18:49] Raeliana**
Francis Brooks.
**[18:53] Brooks**
R-Raeliana...
**[18:55] Raeliana**
This is all your fault.
**[18:59] Brooks**
Y-You've got it all wrong!
**[19:00] Brooks**
Please, hear me out!
**[19:03] Raeliana**
What have I got wrong?
**[19:05] Brooks**
W-Wait!
**[19:09] (Flashback) Brooks**
If you had just been
a good girl and married me,
**[19:12] (Flashback) Brooks**
everything would have gone smoothly.
**[19:15] Raeliana**
If you hadn't been thinking
about marrying me,
**[19:19] Raeliana**
everything would have gone smoothly.
**[19:34] Raeliana**
Ah, I feel so much better!
**[19:36] Raeliana**
I almost want to take
a picture to remember this!
**[19:39] Raeliana**
Now he'll be in the slammer for life!
**[19:43] Raeliana**
That weight is finally off my chest!
**[19:51] Raeliana**
I'm actually pretty good with a gun...
**[20:03] Raeliana**
* Being short on horses really shouldn't*
* be an excuse to ride double.*
**[20:09] Raeliana**
Noah, this horse seems to be moving
a lot slower than it should.
**[20:14] Noah**
I wonder whose fault that is.
**[20:16] Raeliana**
*Damn it!*
***SIGN*** People I Hate Most
***SIGN*** Noah Voltaire Wynknight
**[20:20] Raeliana**
I hate you!
**[20:43] Raeliana**
Noah...
**[20:46] Raeliana**
Thank you... for coming to find me.
**[20:55] Noah**
You're welcome.
**[20:57] Raeliana**
* All I did was thank him.*
* Why do I feel so embarrassed?*
**[21:04] Raeliana**
*I'm suddenly so sleepy...*
**[21:08] Raeliana**
*But I can't... fall asleep here...*
**[21:21] Noah**
*Why... did I feel so angry?*
**[21:26] Noah**
*The death of a woman who has dirt on me*
**[21:30] Noah**
*should be a good thing for me.*
**[21:37] Noah**
So why?
**[21:41] Noah**
Adam.
**[21:45] Noah**
I want you...
**[21:47] Noah**
to get rid of them.
**[23:14] Raeliana**
*Morning already?*
**[23:17] Raeliana**
*I wanna sleep a little longer...*
**[23:25] Noah**
You're awake now?

**[00:14] Raeliana**
*Why...*
**[00:16] Raeliana**
*is he naked?*
**[00:18] Raeliana**
*And my lower back kind of hurts.*
**[00:21] Raeliana**
*W-Wait.*
**[00:22] Raeliana**
*Just calm down for a second.*
**[00:24] Raeliana**
*Be natural... Be casual...*
**[00:27] Raeliana**
W-We...
**[00:31] Raeliana**
didn't do anything, did we?
**[00:37] Noah**
You forgot?
**[00:41] Noah**
After you were the one
begging for it so much?
**[00:45] Raeliana**
*Please stop!*
**[00:48] Noah**
Raeliana?
**[00:54] Noah**
Raeliana!
**[02:35] Raeliana**
Master Taylor!
**[02:36] Noah**
Adam!
**[02:38] Raeliana**
Please help me!
**[02:40] Noah**
Bring Raeliana to me!
**[03:05] Noah**
*What the...*
**[03:06] Gideon**
Master, you are awake?
**[03:09] Gideon**
Count Westernberg has just arrived to—
**[03:13] Noah**
Send him home.
**[03:15] Gideon**
What?
**[03:15] Gideon**
B-But to call off an appointment
on such short notice...
**[03:20] Noah**
Raeliana has been kidnapped.
**[03:23] Gideon**
S-Something so terrible
has happened here at this estate?!
**[03:26] Gideon**
And tomorrow is the engagement ceremony...
**[03:29] Noah**
Assemble all of the knights at once.
**[03:33] Noah**
The kidnapper should
still be on the grounds.
**[03:36] Gideon**
You saw who did it?!
**[03:38] Noah**
He's 183 centimeters tall,
**[03:41] Noah**
and wearing a black uniform.
**[03:44] Noah**
His hair is a deep gray color and wavy.
**[03:46] Noah**
And he has red eyes.
**[03:48] Noah**
He's in his late teens, but already
carrying weapons. He's very dangerous.
**[03:52] Gideon**
Did the young lady simply
go out with Master Tay—
**[03:56] Noah**
Gideon...
**[03:58] Noah**
Try saying that again.
**[04:02] Gideon**
The young lady was taken...
**[04:03] Gideon**
by someone resembling Master Taylor, then?
**[04:09] Noah**
Exactly.
**[04:15] Raeliana**
*That was a pretty spirited exit,*
**[04:18] Raeliana**
*but we're still on the estate grounds.*
**[04:26] Raeliana**
Master Taylor...
**[04:27] Raeliana**
Why don't we go out for a bit?
**[04:34] Raeliana**
That's what I thought.
**[04:41] Raeliana**
* I'll just consider that an accident*
* and forget about it.*
**[04:45] Raeliana**
* When I really think about it,*
* he did save my life.*
**[04:48] Raeliana**
*But this body isn't even mine to begin with.*
**[04:53] Raeliana**
*Should I really be treating it like this?*
**[04:58] Raeliana**
Master Taylor...
**[05:00] Raeliana**
Do you think... I smell bad?
**[05:05] Raeliana**
I didn't take a bath last night.
**[05:17] Raeliana**
I feel so much better!
**[05:19] Raeliana**
Thank goodness there's a
separate bathroom for the maids.
**[05:33] Raeliana**
*I always wanted to try on a maid uniform.*
**[05:41] Raeliana**
Feels like I'm cosplaying.
**[05:47] Raeliana**
Master Taylor!
**[06:00] Raeliana**
Master Taylor...
**[06:03] Raeliana**
Are you... hungry, perchance?
**[06:07] Keith**
Searching for the young lady?
**[06:09] Keith**
The duke went out to search for her himself?
**[06:12] Gideon**
Yes.
**[06:15] Gideon**
I am very sorry, my lord.
**[06:19] Keith**
Why would the duke go
to the trouble of searching for her?
**[06:25] Keith**
It's all right.
**[06:26] Keith**
If you don't mind,
I'd like to wait in the study.
**[06:30] Gideon**
Very well. I will inform the master.
**[06:34] Keith**
Miss Raeliana McMillan, eh?
**[06:41] Cook2**
It's been awfully noisy around here today.
**[06:44] Cook1**
You didn't hear?
**[06:45] Cook1**
Apparently the young lady just up
and left the estate with Master Taylor.
**[06:51] Cook1**
The duke has all the knights
in the mansion out looking for her.
**[06:56] Cook2**
Why'd it turn into such a big commotion?
**[06:58] Cook2**
Does he think she's gonna
cheat on him with Master Taylor?
**[07:02] Cook2**
When their engagement ceremony's tomorrow?
**[07:04] Cook1**
Who knows?
**[07:05] Cook2**
I didn't know the master
was so narrow-minded.
**[07:09] Cook1**
You don't know much about the world, do you?
**[07:13] Cook1**
It's the people who seem as cool
and composed as he does
**[07:16] Cook1**
who are the most persistent
when it comes to love.
**[07:20] Raeliana**
*Uh-oh...*
**[07:21] Cook1**
Who're you? Haven't seen you before.
**[07:24] Cook2**
Maybe she's from the south building?
**[07:26] Cook2**
A lot of new people have been
hired there for the ceremony.
**[07:29] Raeliana**
Uh, that's right.
**[07:31] Raeliana**
I've just begun work in the south building.
**[07:34] Cook1**
So what are you doing here?
**[07:38] Raeliana**
W-Well...
**[07:41] Raeliana**
I was instructed to pick up some food
that the young lady can eat easily.
**[07:45] Cook2**
The young lady?
**[07:47] Cook1**
They found her?
**[07:48] Raeliana**
Uh, yes!
**[07:50] Raeliana**
But, well...
**[07:52] Raeliana**
She says she wants to be left alone
for a little while, so...
**[07:55] Raeliana**
P-Please excuse me!
**[07:58] Cook1**
Hang on.
**[08:12] Cook1**
Take this, too.
**[08:14] Cook1**
I heard she likes it.
**[08:17] Cook1**
The young lady, I mean.
**[08:21] Raeliana**
Master Taylor!
**[08:23] Raeliana**
Look what I got! Chocolate fondue!
**[08:29] Raeliana**
Let's enjoy it out there.
**[08:36] Raeliana**
So it seems like he has all
the knights out looking for us.
**[08:42] Raeliana**
I don't know if I'm ready
to face Noah again just yet...
**[08:47] Raeliana**
And I'm sure there's someone
in my room waiting for me.
**[08:52] Raeliana**
Since I finally got into this uniform,
**[08:55] Raeliana**
I'd like a little more time to myself.
**[09:07] Raeliana**
I get it.
**[09:08] Raeliana**
Nobody would try to come
into Noah's personal study.
**[09:13] Raeliana**
Thank you, Master Taylor.
**[09:25] Raeliana**
*I gotta get my head on straight.*
**[09:32] Raeliana**
*It's strange.*
**[09:34] Raeliana**
*Since I came to this world,*
**[09:36] Raeliana**
*I understand the languages of every country.*
**[09:39] Raeliana**
* Is it an ability I gained*
* when I reincarnated?*
**[09:42] Raeliana**
*I mean, it's a big help either way.*
**[09:46] Raeliana**
*Huh?*
**[09:48] Raeliana**
*It can't be... Noah?!*
**[09:51] Keith**
Is this the book you wanted?
**[09:55] Keith**
I was watching from behind,
and it looked like you were struggling.
**[09:59] Raeliana**
*Count Keith Westernberg!*
**[10:02] Raeliana**
* He's Noah's right-hand man.*
* He's well-loved in the novel, too.*
**[10:07] Raeliana**
*Wow... I feel like I'm meeting a celebrity!*
**[10:11] Keith**
Was this the wrong one?
**[10:12] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[10:15] Keith**
You can read Cryptian?
**[10:18] Raeliana**
Uh... yes.
**[10:20] Keith**
I had no idea *any* woman in this
kingdom could read Cryptian.
**[10:25] Keith**
I'm shocked!
**[10:26] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[10:28] Keith**
Who taught it to you?
**[10:30] Raeliana**
Um... I learned it on my own.
**[10:34] Keith**
Really?!
**[10:35] Keith**
I've never known anyone who
learned Cryptian independently!
**[10:39] Keith**
Why in the world are you working as a maid?
**[10:42] Keith**
Have you any interest in academics?
**[10:44] Raeliana**
Uh...
**[10:46] Noah**
I see.
**[10:55] Noah**
With you dressed like that,
it's no wonder nobody could find you.
**[11:05] Raeliana**
U-Um...
**[11:07] Keith**
P-Pardon me!
**[11:08] Raeliana**
Oh, no, it's all right.
**[11:17] Raeliana**
S-Stay away from me, you pervert!
**[11:20] Noah**
Per...vert?
**[11:22] Keith**
Pervert?
**[11:24] Raeliana**
Yes!
**[11:25] Raeliana**
You took advantage of the fact
that I was asleep!
**[11:28] Noah**
Raeliana, you seem to have
the wrong idea about something.
**[11:31] Raeliana**
I do?
**[11:33] Noah**
Nothing happened between us last night.
**[11:37] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[11:38] Raeliana**
B-But my lower back was sore...
**[11:41] Noah**
That's because you slept on horseback.
**[11:44] Raeliana**
But you said I begged...
**[11:47] Noah**
Yes, in your sleep.
**[11:52] Noah**
My bedroom is closer
to the entrance than yours,
**[11:56] Noah**
so I let you sleep there. That's all.
**[12:03] Noah**
I only wanted you to get
a good night's sleep.
**[12:10] Raeliana**
Then why didn't you tell me honestly
**[12:12] Raeliana**
from the beginning that nothing happened?
**[12:22] Noah**
I'm sorry.
**[12:28] Noah**
It wasn't my intention to deceive you.
**[12:31] Raeliana**
*Huh? Did he just apologize?*
**[12:34] Raeliana**
*Noah, of all people? Am I dreaming?*
**[12:38] Raeliana**
Is what you just said how you really feel?
**[12:41] Noah**
Yes, it is.
**[12:51] Raeliana**
All right, then.
**[12:53] Raeliana**
Please don't ever play
mean jokes on me again.
**[12:57] Raeliana**
Hey!
**[13:00] Noah**
So you forgive me, then?
**[13:05] Raeliana**
*Should I, I wonder?*
**[13:08] Raeliana**
*Considering all that's happened,*
**[13:10] Raeliana**
* I don't really want to*
* forgive him that easily.*
**[13:16] Raeliana**
What are you doing?!
**[13:19] Noah**
You forgive me, right?
**[13:21] Noah**
I won't let go until you forgive me.
**[13:25] Raeliana**
*Where did this come from?!*
**[13:27] Raeliana**
* I thought I finally had*
* the advantage for once!*
**[13:34] Raeliana**
Fine! Just let go of me, please!
**[13:51] Raeliana**
*What is going on here?*
**[13:57] Keith**
*Was what I just saw actually real?*
**[14:02] Keith**
*Is that really Noah Voltaire Wynknight?*
**[14:05] Keith**
*Did he eat something funny?*
**[14:08] Keith**
* I had no idea that girl*
* was Miss Raeliana McMillan.*
**[14:14] Keith**
* I heard the two of them had*
* a contractual relationship,*
**[14:19] Keith**
* but what I just saw between*
* them was more than that.*
**[14:23] Keith**
*C-Could it be...*
**[14:25] Keith**
* he's actually serious*
* about Miss McMillan now?*
**[14:30] Noah**
Keith...
**[14:31] Keith**
Duke...
**[14:33] Keith**
*He finally realized I was here?*
**[14:42] Johndein**
When we heard that Brooks
had kidnapped our daughter,
**[14:45] Johndein**
my wife and I were deeply
upset and rushed here.
**[14:50] Noah**
Please rest at ease.
**[14:51] Noah**
Francis Brooks and his cohorts
are being held at Saint Bell Prison.
**[14:57] Raeliana**
Saint Bell Prison?
**[15:00] Katie**
The highest-security prison in the kingdom?
**[15:04] Noah**
No matter what dangers
may arise from now on,
**[15:06] Noah**
I will protect Miss Raeliana McMillan
for the rest of my life.
**[15:11] Katie**
Then you will be carrying out tomorrow's
engagement ceremony as planned?
**[15:17] Noah**
Of course.
**[15:41] Raeliana**
Who... might you be?
**[15:44] Mary**
I am Mary Wayne.
**[15:46] Mary**
*The* Mary Wayne!
**[15:50] Raeliana**
*Mary Wayne's dress shop*
**[15:52] Raeliana**
*is a place that all brides-to-be dream of.*
**[15:57] Raeliana**
* Anyone who wants to wear*
* a dress that she made*
**[16:00] Raeliana**
* must be at or above a certain*
* level of status and wealth.*
**[16:05] Raeliana**
*All of her sales come with strict conditions,*
**[16:11] Raeliana**
*and even when they're met,*
**[16:12] Raeliana**
* it's rumored that the buyer must wait*
* a year to get the dress.*
**[16:16] Raeliana**
*The* Mary Wayne?
**[16:19] Mary**
This is the dress you will wear
to your engagement ceremony tonight.
**[16:23] Mary**
It is a masterpiece I am most proud of!
**[16:27] Raeliana**
I-It's beautiful.
**[16:29] Mary**
The duke placed the order
on such short notice!
**[16:33] Mary**
It was a real challenge to complete in time!
**[16:37] Raeliana**
I-I'm sorry Noah wasn't more thoughtful...
**[16:41] Mary**
We need a fitting to see
if it needs any modifications!
**[16:44] Mary**
Put it on now!
**[16:45] Raeliana**
Y-Yes, ma'am!
**[17:18] Raeliana**
*An engagement ceremony...*
**[17:22] Raeliana**
* Saint Bell Prison, where Brooks*
* and his buddies are now,*
**[17:25] Raeliana**
* is a place that no one*
* ever leaves once they enter.*
**[17:30] Raeliana**
*Which means...*
**[17:31] Raeliana**
*Brooks won't be able to kill me now.*
**[17:37] Raeliana**
* So should I really go*
* on with this engagement?*
**[17:46] Crowd**
Congratulations!
**[17:58] Raeliana**
* I first proposed this contract*
* with Noah to avoid being killed by Brooks.*
**[18:08] Raeliana**
* The one who falls for Noah in*
* the novel is the protagonist, Beatrice,*
**[18:15] Raeliana**
*and I'm just Beatrice's friend...*
**[18:20] Raeliana**
*but I'm the one engaged to him now.*
**[18:45] Raeliana**
Is this really right?
**[18:55] Raeliana**
Noah?
**[18:58] Raeliana**
What are we doing?
**[19:03] Noah**
We're on a date.
**[19:05] Raeliana**
But I'm sure I was just
lying in my bed a moment ago.
**[19:10] Noah**
There are fireworks
over the Shamcane River tonight.
**[19:15] Raeliana**
Uh, that's not what I was asking...
**[19:22] Noah**
I sensed that you've been avoiding me,
even before the ceremony.
**[19:28] Noah**
It will make others suspicious
if you so blatantly avoid me.
**[19:36] Raeliana**
* I've fully taken on*
* the role of his fiancée now.*
**[19:39] Raeliana**
*We're even on this fake date now...*
**[19:43] Raeliana**
Noah, there's something
I want to talk to you about.
**[19:47] Noah**
I know.
**[19:48] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[19:50] Noah**
You've used me to suit
your purposes all this time,
**[19:53] Noah**
and now you don't need me anymore,
**[19:56] Noah**
so you want to dump me, right?
**[19:58] Raeliana**
You don't have to put it that way.
**[20:01] Raeliana**
You make me sound like complete scum.
**[20:03] Noah**
But I'm right, aren't I?
**[20:05] Raeliana**
*I mean, he is, but...*
**[20:08] Raeliana**
Well, as a certain someone said,
I'm guilty of blackmail.
**[20:17] Noah**
Raeliana...
**[20:19] Noah**
Stay by my side.
**[20:30] Noah**
Until you have no further use for me.
**[20:33] Raeliana**
*Yeah, of course.*
**[20:35] Raeliana**
*He makes it* sound *cool, at least...*
**[20:39] Raeliana**
And... that's all?
**[20:45] Noah**
That's really all you want?
**[20:55] Noah**
Yes, it is.
**[20:58] Raeliana**
Noah...
**[21:00] Raeliana**
Have you ever loved anyone before?
**[21:04] Noah**
No.
**[21:05] Raeliana**
Why not?
**[21:07] Noah**
Because I'm a duke of the royal family.
**[21:11] Raeliana**
What, is a duke of the royal
family not allowed to love?
**[21:17] Noah**
No. Because the moment you do,
**[21:21] Noah**
you're taking on a tremendous risk.
**[21:26] Raeliana**
Well, even so...
**[21:29] Raeliana**
Even so...
**[21:31] Raeliana**
I think you'll end up
loving someone someday.
**[21:36] Raeliana**
Just watch.
**[21:38] Raeliana**
I was right about the Gale family, wasn't I?
**[21:47] Raeliana**
How pretty!
**[22:03] Noah**
Raeliana?
**[22:06] Raeliana**
A girl...
**[22:08] Noah**
A girl?
**[22:13] Raeliana**
I see... a girl with yellow hair.

**[00:01] Freese**
*Raeliana, this is Freese Eriteal.*
**[00:05] Freese**
* I know you suffered through a*
* terrible experience with the Brooks scandal.*
**[00:10] Freese**
*Have you been well since then?*
**[00:14] Freese**
* I have enclosed the invitation*
* to the gathering that I promised you.*
**[00:20] Raeliana**
Thanks, Freese!
**[00:21] Raeliana**
Now Noah will owe me one!
**[00:24] Freese**
* I look forward to seeing you*
* at the monster hunt.*
**[00:33] Raeliana**
*Right, the monster hunt...*
**[00:41] Raeliana**
* A three-day event held every year*
* in the Sycret Mountains*
**[00:45] Raeliana**
*in preparation for winter.*
**[00:48] Raeliana**
* Monsters come down from*
* the mountains looking for food in winter.*
**[00:51] Raeliana**
* The hunt is a state project held*
* to stop them from attacking citizens.*
**[00:56] Raeliana**
* Nobles famous for their*
* combat prowess participate,*
**[01:00] Raeliana**
* and they offer the monsters they caught*
* to the lady of their choice.*
**[01:04] Raeliana**
* But I'm told Noah has never*
* offered his monsters to anyone,*
**[01:09] Raeliana**
*so it has nothing to do with me, right?*
**[01:17] Raeliana**
* These are... the letters*
* I wrote to Beatrice?*
**[01:21] Raeliana**
*They were returned? But why?*
**[01:26] Raeliana**
*The name and address are correct.*
**[01:30] Raeliana**
* Was there some reason she*
* couldn't receive letters?*
**[01:37] Raeliana**
*Surely not...*
**[03:14] Raeliana**
* Originally, what prompts the protagonist*
* Beatrice to return from abroad*
**[03:19] Raeliana**
*is Raeliana's death.*
**[03:21] Raeliana**
*But Raeliana survived.*
**[03:25] Raeliana**
* As things stand, Beatrice will*
* never return from abroad,*
**[03:29] Raeliana**
*which is why I sent letters.*
**[03:31] Raeliana**
* I wouldn't think a story change as minor*
* as receiving a summons from Raeliana*
**[03:36] Raeliana**
*would have that great an effect.*
**[03:39] Raeliana**
*In fact...*
**[03:42] Raeliana**
*I only acted because my life depended on it.*
**[03:46] Raeliana**
* I never had any intention*
* of ruining this story.*
**[03:49] Raeliana**
*Yet...*
**[03:51] Raeliana**
* If my surviving caused some*
* fundamental change in the story...*
**[03:58] Teacher**
My lady...
**[04:00] Teacher**
y-you have done lovely work... but...
**[04:05] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[04:13] Teacher**
If you intend to present it to the duke,
**[04:16] Teacher**
why not use the bamboo-leaf oak
and birds depicted in his family crest?
**[04:20] Teacher**
Though, to my knowledge,
the duke has never accepted any handkerchiefs
**[04:25] Teacher**
presented to him by ladies...
**[04:29] Raeliana**
* I never intended to give it*
* to him, actually.*
**[04:33] Teacher**
But you are his one
and only fiancée, after all.
**[04:39] Raeliana**
*Isn't it normal to have only one of those?!*
**[04:41] Raeliana**
*What kind of scumbag does she think Noah is?*
**[05:13] Raeliana**
* I had heard that he'd be busy*
* because of the monster hunt, but...*
**[05:24] Raeliana**
* Still, I've never seen him*
* sleeping like this before.*
**[05:33] Raeliana**
*He was born with such good looks.*
**[05:36] Raeliana**
* He could act like he*
* enjoys life a little more.*
**[05:40] Raeliana**
* Then again, he is*
* the leading male in this story.*
**[05:45] Raeliana**
* In the end, he ends up*
* with the female lead in a happy ending.*
**[05:51] Raeliana**
*With Beatrice Trancet.*
**[05:54] Raeliana**
* They first meet as a result*
* of a misunderstanding,*
**[05:58] Raeliana**
*giving them a terrible start.*
**[05:59] Raeliana**
* But for some reason,*
* Beatrice is drawn to him...*
**[06:09] Raeliana**
* They continue to be met by one*
* chance encounter after another,*
**[06:14] Raeliana**
* and then, one windy day,*
* as her hair flutters about her face,*
**[06:20] Raeliana**
* Noah suddenly murmurs her name*
* as he falls in love with her.*
**[06:24] Raeliana**
*Beatri—*
**[06:25] Noah**
Raeliana.
**[06:28] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[06:31] Noah**
Raeliana?
**[06:33] Raeliana**
Uh... I-I was...
**[06:37] Raeliana**
*What excuse can I even make here?!*
**[06:39] Raeliana**
*He caught me sneaking a look at his face!*
**[06:42] Raeliana**
* That he just looked so*
* handsome in his sleep?*
**[06:44] Raeliana**
*No, no, no, no, no!*
**[06:46] Noah**
Are you not feeling well?
Your face is very red.
**[06:50] Raeliana**
That's just... um...
**[07:04] Raeliana**
I-It's just hot.
**[07:09] Raeliana**
*Ouch!*
**[07:11] Raeliana**
Noah!
**[07:13] Noah**
Sneaking a look at someone's
face as they sleep, eh?
**[07:16] Raeliana**
Led go ud me.
**[07:18] Noah**
"Led go ud me"?
**[07:20] Raeliana**
Led go ud me... please.
**[07:24] Noah**
Don't you mean, "I'm sorry"?
**[07:25] Raeliana**
*What?!*
**[07:27] Raeliana**
* And he watched me when*
* I was sleeping before, too!*
**[07:30] Noah**
How did sneaking around like
that make you feel?
**[07:35] Noah**
I had no idea you were into such things.
**[07:38] Raeliana**
I'm... sorry.
**[07:42] Noah**
Good enough.
**[07:46] Noah**
Raeliana?
**[08:02] Raeliana**
He's so infuriating!
**[08:16] Noah**
Not bad at all.
**[08:22] Haley**
It's extremely cold where you're going.
**[08:24] Haley**
This is the bare minimum you should wear.
**[08:28] Raeliana**
With all this on, I feel
like summer's already here.
**[08:33] Haley**
You mustn't underestimate
how cold it is in those mountains.
**[08:37] Haley**
In Sycret, people freeze
to death even in autumn!
**[08:41] Raeliana**
* I won't even be able to*
* eat on my own in all this.*
**[08:49] Gideon**
Please place your things here, my lady.
**[08:52] Gideon**
Good morning, my lady.
**[08:56] Raeliana**
Good morning, Gideon.
**[09:00] Raeliana**
I've heard where I'm going is very cold.
**[09:03] Gideon**
Yes, in Sycret, people freeze
to death even in autumn.
**[09:08] Raeliana**
That again?
**[09:12] Vivian**
Are you sure you won't be coming, Brother?
**[09:16] Vivian**
All the combat veterans will be there.
**[09:20] Justin**
I only just returned from my trip abroad.
**[09:23] Justin**
Let me have this break.
**[09:25] Vivian**
I'll be on my way, then.
**[09:30] Justin**
Take care.
**[09:36] Keith**
This concludes the opening ceremony.
**[09:39] Keith**
I wish you all the best of luck.
**[10:07] Raeliana**
* I guess it doesn't even matter to them*
* whether Noah has a fiancée or not.*
**[10:13] Ansley**
My lady?
**[10:15] Ansley**
My lady, you're looking very... warm today.
**[10:20] Raeliana**
I heard it would be cold here.
**[10:23] Ansley**
Yes, in Sycret, people freeze
to death even in autumn.
**[10:27] Raeliana**
* Is that Sycret's official*
* slogan or something?*
**[10:30] Ansley**
My lady, your hand, please.
**[10:32] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[10:43] Raeliana**
*A vow to a lady?*
**[10:46] Raeliana**
Will you be participating
in the hunt, as well?
**[10:49] Ansley**
Yes.
**[10:50] Raeliana**
I had no idea...
**[10:52] Raeliana**
I didn't make a handkerchief for you.
**[10:54] Ansley**
That's all right.
**[10:55] Ansley**
I didn't come here just
to receive a handkerchief.
**[10:59] Raeliana**
Still...
**[11:02] Ansley**
In that case...
**[11:12] Ansley**
This is enough for me!
**[11:14] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley...
**[11:17] Ansley**
Well, wish me luck.
**[11:20] Raeliana**
*What a dreamboat...*
**[11:23] Noah**
Raeliana...
**[11:25] Noah**
Raeliana?
**[11:27] Raeliana**
Noah...
**[11:30] Noah**
You look very...
**[11:31] Raeliana**
Warm, right?
**[11:33] Raeliana**
In Sycret, people freeze
to death even in autumn.
**[11:38] Noah**
More importantly,
aren't you forgetting something?
**[11:43] Raeliana**
Oh, right!
**[11:45] Raeliana**
Master Taylor, please wait just a moment.
**[11:48] Noah**
Master Taylor?
**[11:53] Noah**
Quite gutsy of you to give a handkerchief
**[11:55] Noah**
to another man right
in front of your beloved fiancé.
**[11:59] Raeliana**
Oh? "Beloved fiancé"?
**[12:01] Raeliana**
I do believe you are mistaken.
**[12:04] Noah**
Should we not at least stick
to the script we both agreed upon?
**[12:11] Raeliana**
What is it you want?
**[12:13] Noah**
A handkerchief.
**[12:15] Raeliana**
I don't have one!
**[12:17] Noah**
Then what's this?
**[12:18] Raeliana**
It's Master Taylor's.
**[12:20] Noah**
You and your little jokes...
**[12:22] Raeliana**
*He just never gives up, does he?*
**[12:24] Raeliana**
I thought it was your policy
not to accept handkerchiefs.
**[12:27] Noah**
I'm in the mood to accept one today.
**[12:29] Raeliana**
But you turned them down
from other people earlier!
**[12:32] Noah**
I want one from my fiancée.
**[12:37] Raeliana**
Oh, what shall I do?
**[12:39] Raeliana**
I was certain you wouldn't want one.
**[12:41] Noah**
Then I'll just have to
accept this one instead.
**[12:45] Raeliana**
Give that back!
**[12:47] Raeliana**
*He's never accepted one before in his life!*
**[12:50] Raeliana**
*Where's this coming from?!*
**[12:54] Raeliana**
All right, fine.
**[12:59] Raeliana**
More importantly,
aren't you forgetting something?
**[13:02] Noah**
Am I?
**[13:12] Raeliana**
*Well, go on! Lower your head already!*
**[13:16] Noah**
Oh, dear. Do forgive me.
**[13:35] Raeliana**
* What the heck?!*
* He could just do it normally!*
**[13:38] Raeliana**
*He's so dramatic!*
**[13:40] Raeliana**
Here.
**[13:45] Raeliana**
Well, do be careful.
**[14:03] Taylor**
*Is she asking me to bring back a dragon?*
**[14:14] Raeliana**
*The air is so clean here.*
**[14:17] Raeliana**
* This is my first time leaving the capital*
* since I came to this world.*
**[14:22] Raeliana**
* So this is the wall erected by the Granger*
* family to protect the front line of Sycret...*
**[14:34] Woman1**
Please be careful.
**[14:37] Knight**
For you, I would give my very life.
**[14:40] Stephanie**
They way they're acting,
you'd think they were going off to war.
**[14:45] Raeliana**
*Stephanie Carlisle.*
**[14:48] Raeliana**
*Christine Barkley.*
**[14:50] Vivian**
It must be their first time.
**[14:52] Vivian**
You must try to understand
if they seem a bit dramatic.
**[14:56] Raeliana**
*Vivian Shamal.*
**[14:58] Raeliana**
* They gave Beatrice a rough*
* time throughout the novel.*
**[15:08] Noah**
Raeliana!
**[15:20] Raeliana**
* He's just going to hunt some monsters.*
* He'll be fine, right?*
**[15:26] Jasper**
Miss McMillan.
**[15:28] Jasper**
Those are the claw marks of a creoder.
**[15:31] Raeliana**
*The lord of Sycret Castle, Jasper Granger.*
**[15:36] Jasper**
It's a terribly fierce monster
with the appearance of a black lion.
**[15:41] Jasper**
One might call it the true lord
of the Sycret Mountains.
**[15:45] Jasper**
One day, I will capture it
with my own hands.
**[15:48] Jasper**
That is my dream.
**[15:54] Vivian**
Miss McMillan...
**[15:58] Vivian**
Please come and have a seat.
**[16:01] Raeliana**
I do appreciate the offer,
but I humbly decline.
**[16:05] Raeliana**
*I'm not stupid enough to sit beside you.*
**[16:10] Christine**
Well, well!
**[16:12] Christine**
If it isn't the Duke's fiancée!
**[16:15] Stephanie**
You must sit in the center, of course.
**[16:18] Christine**
Come, now.
**[16:22] Christine**
Oh, yes!
**[16:24] Christine**
In the last hunt, Lady Shamal was presented
**[16:26] Christine**
with three high-ranking monsters, right?
**[16:30] Stephanie**
Yes. I look forward to seeing
how this hunt ends, as well.
**[16:33] Vivian**
I only pray that no one out
hunting finds themselves in danger.
**[16:39] Raeliana**
M-My, how admirable of you, Lady Shamal.
**[16:45] Vivian**
Oh, it's nothing.
**[16:46] Raeliana**
*Is she happy now?*
**[16:48] Raeliana**
Um, where is Lady Eriteal?
**[16:51] Vivian**
It seems she's caught a cold
and won't be joining us.
**[16:55] Vivian**
What about you, Miss McMillan?
Are you feeling all right?
**[16:59] Vivian**
With the Duke out on the hunt...
**[17:06] Raeliana**
* What a disgusting attitude.*
* She thinks I don't know?*
**[17:10] Raeliana**
Whatever do you mean?
**[17:12] Vivian**
Oh, my!
**[17:13] Vivian**
Were you not aware that the Duke
has never offered a monster to anyone before?
**[17:20] Stephanie**
Miss McMillan has never been
a part of the monster hunt before.
**[17:24] Stephanie**
Of course she wouldn't know.
**[17:26] Christine**
And it would seem she didn't
have anyone to inform her.
**[17:30] Vivian**
Yes, it's true that low-ranking
women don't usually come to the hunt.
**[17:36] Vivian**
There's nothing else to be done.
**[17:38] Vivian**
We shall have to teach
Miss McMillan all she needs to know.
**[17:45] Raeliana**
I'm quite all right.
**[17:47] Raeliana**
Just the fact that the duke accepted
my handkerchief is enough for me.
**[17:53] Raeliana**
Incidentally,
**[17:54] Raeliana**
I heard that he's never accepted
a handkerchief from anyone before.
**[17:59] Raeliana**
Is that true?
**[18:01] Raeliana**
I don't know the Duke as well as you all do.
**[18:04] Raeliana**
It's terribly embarrassing.
**[18:06] Raeliana**
So might I ask you to continue
teaching me so that, little by little,
**[18:10] Raeliana**
I might understand things better?
**[18:13] Raeliana**
Oh, dear. Have I said something imprudent?
**[18:21] Stephanie**
W-Well...
**[18:23] Stephanie**
If he hadn't accepted the handkerchief then,
**[18:26] Stephanie**
it would put Miss McMillan
in an awful position as his fiancée.
**[18:30] Christine**
Y-Yes!
**[18:32] Christine**
I'm sure he'll bring back
at least one high-ranking monster.
**[18:36] Raeliana**
Yes.
**[18:38] Raeliana**
If he truly thinks so fondly of me,
**[18:41] Raeliana**
that makes me happier than any number
of monsters he could bring back.
**[18:45] Raeliana**
And don't you think being
loved by the one you love...
**[18:51] Raeliana**
is much better than being
loved by a hundred others,
**[18:56] Raeliana**
Lady Vivian?
**[18:59] Vivian**
Wh-Why do you ask *me* that?!
**[19:03] Raeliana**
I assumed you would understand
better than all the other ladies.
**[19:07] Raeliana**
Am I wrong?
**[19:09] Vivian**
W-Well...
**[19:12] Raeliana**
*It's common knowledge that Vivian has*
**[19:15] Raeliana**
* been making all kinds*
* of intense passes at Noah.*
**[19:19] Christine**
Miss McMillan!
**[19:20] Christine**
It looks as if your salmon has gone bad!
**[19:23] Stephanie**
Get the head chef out here at once!
**[19:26] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[19:28] Stephanie**
The Duke's fiancée has eaten rotten food!
**[19:32] Stephanie**
This is an emergency!
**[19:35] Raeliana**
Wh-What are you talking—
**[19:37] Stephanie**
Perhaps you should rest in your room?
**[19:40] Stephanie**
You mustn't overdo it.
**[19:43] Raeliana**
*Ugh...*
**[19:52] Woman**
The weather certainly doesn't look good.
**[19:55] Raeliana**
*I can't see the Wynknight crest.*
**[19:58] Raeliana**
*Did he go that deep into the mountains?*
**[20:01] Keith**
The rain will make it
difficult to walk, too.
**[20:05] Keith**
And there are high-ranking monsters
that are more active in rain.
**[20:11] Raeliana**
*I have a bad feeling...*
**[20:23] Stephanie**
Oh, dear! You should have dodged.
**[20:26] Christine**
Indeed!
**[20:29] Raeliana**
*These girls again...*
**[20:31] Raeliana**
I had no idea your vision
was as poor as your discernment.
**[20:35] Stephanie**
Wha—
**[20:36] Stephanie**
What do you mean by that?!
**[20:38] Raeliana**
Don't feel bad.
**[20:41] Raeliana**
Failing to consider your immaturity
was my own mistake.
**[20:45] Raeliana**
*Seriously, who does something that childish?*
**[21:03] Raeliana**
What was that sound?
**[21:05] Maid**
Ah, right.
**[21:07] Maid**
It would seem the first group has returned.
**[21:16] Maid**
That's... an affitee elk, if I'm not mistaken.
**[21:19] Maid**
A high-ranking monster, I believe.
**[21:22] Knight**
This is our top monster of the day!
**[21:24] Knight**
I present it to the beautiful Lady Shamal!
**[21:28] Vivian**
Thank you kindly.
**[21:30] Knight1**
I present this to Lady Shamal, as well!
**[21:33] Knight2**
I present this to Lady Shamal, as well!
**[21:36] Vivian**
Thank you so much.
**[21:39] Raeliana**
*Noah's group is still out there?*
**[21:52] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley?!
**[21:55] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley, are you all right?
**[21:57] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley!
**[21:59] Raeliana**
Where are the others who were
with you? What happened?
**[22:04] Ansley**
H-Hell...
**[22:11] Raeliana**
Hell?
**[22:23] Raeliana**
Noah...

**[00:02] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley!
**[00:04] Raeliana**
Please wake up!
**[00:06] Raeliana**
What do you mean by "hell"?!
**[00:09] Raeliana**
What happened?!
**[00:15] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley! Dame Ansley!
**[00:20] Raeliana**
*Okay, calm down.*
**[00:21] Raeliana**
*It's clear something happened to Noah.*
**[00:25] Raeliana**
* I have to get a search*
* party together right away...*
**[00:30] Stephanie**
Th-The mountain...
**[00:31] Stephanie**
The mountain just moved!
**[00:34] Christine**
What are you talking about?
Pull yourself together!
**[00:37] Vivian**
The mountain moved?
**[01:08] Keith**
What is that?
**[01:25] Raeliana**
Noah?!
**[01:31] Noah**
Raeliana.
**[03:08] Noah**
Maybe it's because the rain
washed away all the blood,
**[03:11] Noah**
but I saw no sign of any dragons.
**[03:14] Noah**
I think, perhaps, there are
no dragons in the Sycret Mountains.
**[03:19] Raeliana**
Dragons? W-Wait just a—
**[03:22] Noah**
Please accept this instead.
**[03:26] Mob1**
What in the world is that?
**[03:27] Mob2**
I've never seen anything like it.
**[03:29] Christine**
Th-The duke offered his kill to...
**[03:33] Mob3**
Leave it to the duke.
**[03:34] Noah**
As for the dragon you wanted...
**[03:40] Noah**
I promise I'll find one
in a different mountain range someday.
**[03:46] Raeliana**
*When did I say I wanted a dragon?!*
**[03:50] Stephanie**
He never offered a monster
to anyone before now...
**[03:58] Jasper**
Th-This is... a creoder!
**[04:01] Raeliana**
What?!
**[04:02] Raeliana**
The one you called the lord
of the Sycret Mountains?
**[04:05] Jasper**
Remarkable, Your Grace!
**[04:07] Jasper**
It appears Lady McMillan will be the one
to light the sacred flame this year!
**[04:16] Jasper**
I can't believe you brought down a creoder!
**[04:18] Jasper**
It must have been a grueling effort!
**[04:21] Noah**
Well, I just happened to come across it.
**[04:33] Noah**
I thought I'd just grab it quickly...
**[04:36] Noah**
and use it as bait to catch a dragon.
**[04:39] Jasper**
H-How remarkable...
**[04:46] Raeliana**
*That poor castle lord...*
**[04:49] Noah**
Raeliana...
**[04:51] Noah**
I'm terribly sorry it isn't
the dragon you wanted so badly.
**[04:57] Raeliana**
What?
**[04:58] Noah**
You must have had your
hopes up quite high.
**[05:02] Man**
Miss McMillan wanted a dragon?
**[05:04] Woman**
Oh, my... a dragon?
**[05:06] Man**
A dragon, of all things?
**[05:08] Raeliana**
*Everyone, you have it all wrong!*
**[05:11] Raeliana**
*I'm not that kind of girl!*
**[05:15] Raeliana**
Goodness, my Duke.
**[05:20] Raeliana**
The rain is soaking you.
**[05:24] Noah**
You don't smell of alcohol.
What's this about?
**[05:28] Raeliana**
I wish I *were* drunk, honestly.
**[05:33] Noah**
For you, I would endure the rain any day.
**[05:39] Raeliana**
C-Come inside quickly. You'll catch a cold.
**[05:43] Raeliana**
You too, Master Taylor.
**[06:10] Raeliana**
Noah! What is the meaning of all this?!
**[06:13] Noah**
I sent Ansley ahead to inform you.
**[06:16] Raeliana**
The effort of trying to catch
a dragon must have been horrific.
**[06:21] Raeliana**
Dame Ansley described it as "hell."
**[06:24] Raeliana**
When did I ask for a dragon, exactly?
**[06:27] Noah**
Adam...
**[06:30] Raeliana**
*He saw that and thought...*
**[06:33] Raeliana**
* I wish I could toss it*
* in the fire right now!*
**[06:36] Noah**
You go change, too.
**[06:41] Raeliana**
* I'll have to give Adam*
* a different handkerchief.*
**[06:45] Raeliana**
*One without a dragon, obviously.*
**[06:47] Noah**
Don't be so disappointed.
**[06:50] Noah**
I'll find you a dragon
in another mountain range.
**[06:54] Raeliana**
Are you... just teasing me?
**[06:57] Noah**
You finally caught on?
**[06:59] Raeliana**
*I want to hit him.*
**[07:01] Raeliana**
* I wish I could hit a pillow*
* to calm myself down.*
**[07:04] Noah**
Anyway...
**[07:05] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[07:07] Noah**
How long do you intend to stay?
**[07:14] Noah**
I'd like to change.
**[07:17] Raeliana**
P-Please go ahead! I'll leave now!
**[07:21] Noah**
If you want to watch,
you're welcome to stay.
**[07:26] Raeliana**
Oh, dear!
**[07:27] Raeliana**
For the sake of my eyes,
please refrain from doing such things!
**[07:33] Noah**
You're into peeping, right?
**[07:36] Raeliana**
*Huh? What did he say?*
**[07:38] Raeliana**
* First I'm a clueless rich girl who begs*
* for a dragon at a state event,*
**[07:42] Raeliana**
*and now I'm a peeper?!*
**[07:44] Raeliana**
* What kind of character*
* is he trying to make me into?*
**[07:46] Raeliana**
I do wish you wouldn't keep
saying such nonsensical things.
**[07:50] Noah**
Nonsensical?
**[07:51] Noah**
Then when you were secretly
watching me sleep that ti—
**[07:57] Raeliana**
That wasn't because I'm
"into" anything like that...
**[08:01] Raeliana**
Anyway, you're mistaken!
**[08:03] Raeliana**
I apologized for that, didn't I?
**[08:06] Raeliana**
Also, you were watching me
when I was sleeping in bed, too!
**[08:12] Noah**
That time?
**[08:13] Noah**
Oh...
**[08:15] Noah**
When you thought
I'd assaulted you in your sleep,
**[08:18] Noah**
and you cried out like
the world was coming to an end?
**[08:22] Raeliana**
When did I "cry out"?
**[08:24] Raeliana**
You're the one who gave me
the wrong idea in the first place!
**[08:29] (Flashback) Noah**
I'm sorry.
**[08:31] Raeliana**
You even apologized for it, didn't you?!
**[08:34] Raeliana**
*This jerk!*
**[08:39] Raeliana**
Noah, didn't you know?
**[08:46] Raeliana**
Nobody likes men who fixate
on other people's mistakes.
**[08:54] Raeliana**
Understand?
**[09:01] Raeliana**
*He's acting awfully meek.*
**[09:02] Raeliana**
Promise me you'll never
bring this up again!
**[09:06] Raeliana**
All right?
**[09:08] Raeliana**
Well, then...
**[09:09] Raeliana**
I'm sure you're exhausted.
Please get some rest.
**[09:28] Raeliana**
* How could I have done*
* something like that to a duke?*
**[09:35] Raeliana**
* I feel like... I've come*
* a bit closer to him.*
**[09:39] Butler**
Are you returning to your room?
**[09:42] Butler**
Allow me to escort you.
**[09:47] Butler**
The lady knight you arrived
with has made quite the recovery.
**[09:52] Butler**
She's resting in a separate room.
**[09:55] Raeliana**
Thank you... and, um...
**[09:58] Raeliana**
Is the castle lord all right?
**[10:00] Butler**
Yes...
**[10:02] Butler**
He keeps shouting "Creoder!"
as he drowns his frustrations in drink.
**[10:06] Raeliana**
Ah...
**[10:08] Raeliana**
Forgive me, but...
**[10:09] Raeliana**
Yes?
**[10:10] Butler**
Is it true that His Grace
was insistent on finding a dragon?
**[10:15] Raeliana**
Actually, that was sort of
a misunderstanding...
**[10:38] Keith**
I was worried when you were late returning,
**[10:42] Keith**
but I'm glad you're safe.
**[10:45] Noah**
As if you really mean that.
**[10:48] Keith**
It's a relief to see you
haven't changed a bit.
**[10:54] Noah**
What does that mean?
**[10:56] Keith**
I feel bad for that creoder,
the lord of the mountains,
**[10:59] Keith**
if you really killed it just for sport.
**[11:03] Noah**
For sport?
**[11:05] Keith**
Yes.
**[11:06] Keith**
Am I wrong? If so,
I find it a bit concerning.
**[11:12] Keith**
That was your first time catching
a monster during the hunt, yes?
**[11:16] Noah**
It was my first time bringing one back.
**[11:21] Keith**
Right. And...
**[11:24] Keith**
It was your first time
offering one to a lady, as well.
**[11:29] Noah**
What's your point?
**[11:32] Keith**
Oh, just that it doesn't seem like you.
**[11:36] Noah**
That aside, what of
the matter with Duke Blake?
**[11:41] Keith**
There are rumors that he has grown quite
close to a certain woman of late.
**[11:46] Noah**
A woman?
**[11:47] Keith**
Whitton is currently looking
into her identity.
**[11:52] Noah**
A woman, eh?
**[11:55] Noah**
I hope he doesn't ruin himself
over something stupid.
**[11:59] Keith**
Some say women are monsters,
**[12:02] Keith**
but, at times, they can
be far more terrifying.
**[12:07] Noah**
If there's something you
want to say, just say it.
**[12:12] Keith**
Noah, I'm asking you this
as your aide and friend.
**[12:17] Noah**
Let's hear it.
**[12:19] Keith**
Are you serious about Miss McMillan?
**[12:22] Noah**
No.
**[12:24] Noah**
That's what you wanted to ask?
**[12:27] Keith**
You've been acting strange lately.
**[12:29] Noah**
I think you're the one who's acting strange.
**[12:35] Keith**
Then if I were to pursue Miss McMillan,
**[12:39] Keith**
you'd be fine with that?
**[12:43] Noah**
What are you saying,
**[12:46] Noah**
Keith Westernberg?
**[12:52] Noah**
Remember your place.
**[12:59] Keith**
Right.
**[13:24] Vivian**
*It's all mine.*
**[13:27] Vivian**
* Every single man I meet*
* showers me with adoration.*
**[13:32] Vivian**
* A bisque doll with*
* glittering eyes of gold...*
**[13:35] Vivian**
* A beautiful woman who bears*
* the scent of a pink rose...*
**[13:40] Vivian**
* The teeth behind these red lips*
* shine like diamonds, they say.*
**[13:45] Vivian**
* These long legs that look*
* so lovely in lace stockings*
**[13:48] Vivian**
*captivate all men, they say.*
**[13:52] Vivian**
* No matter how hated I was*
* or what anyone said,*
**[13:55] Vivian**
*I was always the winner.*
**[13:58] Vivian**
* I had everything, and getting*
* what I wanted was easy...*
**[14:04] Vivian**
*Until I met that man.*
**[14:17] Vivian**
* The only reason I accepted*
* the proposal of that limping king*
**[14:22] Vivian**
*was to make him regret turning me down.*
**[14:26] Vivian**
* I was supposed to light the temple's*
* sacred flame again this year,*
**[14:29] Vivian**
*while looking down on him and his fiancée.*
**[14:36] Vivian**
*And yet...*
**[14:45] Vivian**
* I can't bear the thought of*
* him not becoming mine!*
**[15:09] (Flashback) Beatrice**
There's something you want, right?
**[15:13] (Flashback) Beatrice**
This will help you.
**[15:31] Raeliana**
What? Vivian Shamal's leaving?
**[15:33] Ansley**
Yes. She is returning to her mansion.
**[15:37] Raeliana**
So she won't be going to the temple?
**[15:40] Ansley**
Correct.
**[15:42] Raeliana**
But doesn't everyone go to the temple
after the hunt every year?
**[15:46] Ansley**
Yes,
**[15:47] Ansley**
but none of the ladies
are obligated to go except for you,
**[15:52] Ansley**
as the one who will light the sacred flame.
**[15:56] Raeliana**
I see.
**[15:58] Ansley**
We will depart for the temple
as soon as you are ready.
**[16:02] Ansley**
Please continue.
**[16:03] Raeliana**
All right.
**[16:07] Raeliana**
* I mean, not only is she not*
* lighting the sacred flame,*
**[16:11] Raeliana**
*but I'm the one doing it.*
**[16:13] Raeliana**
* I guess I can't blame her*
* for not wanting to go.*
**[16:17] Raeliana**
*Maybe I went a little too far...*
**[16:24] Wade**
Your Holiness Heika,
**[16:26] Wade**
you really don't intend to go?
**[16:30] Heika**
Why should I go out of my way to be there
**[16:32] Heika**
just for the sake
of a bunch of petty nobles?
**[16:36] Wade**
But Duke Wynknight will be
in attendance this time.
**[16:40] Wade**
That is what I've come to tell you.
**[16:44] Wade**
*He's not even listening...*
**[16:46] Wade**
* He has always detested nobles,*
* regarding them as selfish fools.*
**[16:52] Wade**
* But this is the one time*
* I can't afford to back down!*
**[16:57] Wade**
Our organization's financial
situation is worsening.
**[17:04] Wade**
Donations have decreased
with each passing year,
**[17:07] Wade**
and our organization's internal
operations are struggling.
**[17:11] Wade**
The monster hunt is our best opportunity
to get donations from the nobles!
**[17:18] Wade**
And above all, residing in the temple right now
**[17:20] Wade**
is the great priest and legend
who changed theology as we knew it:
**[17:26] Wade**
the great Heika Demint himself!
**[17:33] Wade**
This is clearly divine guidance!
**[17:36] Heika**
So I'm required to personally attend
every little thing, you dumb shit?
**[17:42] Wade**
Sh-Shi—
**[17:45] Wade**
*I can't lose heart now!*
**[17:47] Wade**
Letting the current conditions
continue would hinder
**[17:50] Wade**
our theological research
and the upbringing of the next generation!
**[17:53] Heika**
What?
**[17:54] Wade**
You are surprisingly—
**[17:56] Wade**
I mean,
**[17:58] Wade**
you have always wanted nothing more than
**[18:00] Wade**
the best education
for your pupils, have you not?
**[18:02] Heika**
Well, maybe if *you* were a smarter disciple
**[18:06] Heika**
who could advance my research along with me,
**[18:08] Heika**
it would've shaved five
years off our studies!
**[18:12] Heika**
Then we could've saved five years' worth of
funds rather than spending it frivolously!
**[18:18] Heika**
Are you telling me that's
not your own stupid fault?!
**[18:21] Wade**
I, Wade Davis,
**[18:24] Wade**
despite appearances,
**[18:25] Wade**
graduated top of my class from
the Fyatt International School of Theology!
**[18:29] Wade**
I may not be the genius you are,
**[18:31] Wade**
but I can confidently say
I qualify as a prodigy!
**[18:34] Heika**
The school of theology will take
just any idiot these days, huh?
**[18:38] Wade**
Your Holiness!
**[18:40] Heika**
Judging by your character,
**[18:42] Heika**
I bet that squawking parrot mouth of yours
is gonna be why you die young!
**[18:47] Wade**
What are you saying?!
You can't see my character at all!
**[18:51] Heika**
Yeah, that's right!
**[18:53] Heika**
No one can see your character under
that clay mask you call a face!
**[18:58] Wade**
That has nothing to do with character!
That'd just be a curse!
**[19:01] Heika**
Shut up!
**[19:02] Heika**
I'm just advising you to keep quiet,
work hard, and live a happy life!
**[19:07] Heika**
So shut your trap and listen!
**[19:13] Wade**
* Oh, God, please grant me the strength*
* to claim victory against this geezer.*
**[19:18] Wade**
Your Holiness, please listen to me.
**[19:22] Wade**
As far as those petty nobles are concerned,
**[19:25] Wade**
even the briefest appearance by you,
the head of our organization,
**[19:29] Wade**
carries unspeakably tremendous value.
**[19:32] Wade**
A mere word of greeting
and a handshake from you
**[19:36] Wade**
would bring in enough donations to keep
the temple running for another year.
**[19:41] Wade**
Your Holiness, all it takes is
for you to simply show your face.
**[19:47] Wade**
*He's always been a very proud man.*
**[19:50] Wade**
* He can't ignore my request*
* after hearing all that!*
**[19:53] Heika**
Well... I suppose so. Wade,
**[19:56] Heika**
come here.
**[19:58] Wade**
You finally understand?!
**[20:00] Heika**
Get out of here.
**[20:09] Raeliana**
Raeliana, I'll be heading
to the temple first.
**[20:14] Raeliana**
Have a safe trip.
**[20:18] Noah**
I look forward to the ceremonial
lighting of the sacred flame.
**[20:24] Ladies**
What a man!
**[20:33] Vivian**
Miss McMillan, greetings to you.
**[20:37] Vivian**
I will pray for the success
of the ceremonial lighting.
**[20:41] Raeliana**
Th-Thank you.
**[21:04] Raeliana**
*Was that in my luggage?*
**[21:08] Ansley**
Lady McMillan.
**[21:10] Ansley**
Whitton was at the mansion running errands,
**[21:13] Ansley**
and Gideon left this with him.
**[21:16] Raeliana**
Thank you.
**[21:17] Ansley**
It's time for us to depart.
**[21:20] Raeliana**
Okay.
**[21:25] Vivian**
It's all mine.
**[22:42] Raeliana**
The Fyatt International
School of Theology...
**[22:45] Raeliana**
"I am writing in response
to the matter you asked about.
**[22:50] Raeliana**
A student by the name of Beatrice Trancet...
**[22:56] Raeliana**
does not attend this school."
**[22:59] Raeliana**
* Beatrice isn't there?*
* Did she come back home?*
**[23:05] Raeliana**
*Or is she somewhere completely different?*
**[23:08] Raeliana**
* Originally, she came back because I,*
* Raeliana McMillan, died...*
**[23:17] Raeliana**
*But I survived.*
**[23:20] Raeliana**
*So because of me...*
**[23:23] Raeliana**
The things that happen
from now on might change?
**[23:30] Raeliana**
*Beatrice...*

**[00:10] Raeliana**
Oh, wow!
**[00:13] Raeliana**
The street's lined with birch trees!
**[00:18] Knight1**
Pilgrims plant birch trees
here on their way to the temple.
**[00:23] Knight1**
They say the custom originated with a priest
**[00:26] Knight1**
who planted a birch tree here
after a terrible disaster.
**[00:32] Raeliana**
Wow...
**[00:33] Knight1**
His Holiness Heika is
currently staying in the temple.
**[00:38] Raeliana**
His Holiness Heika?
**[00:40] Knight1**
He is known as a living legend.
**[00:45] Raeliana**
*A living legend, huh?*
**[00:48] Knight1**
Look, it's within sight now.
**[00:54] Raeliana**
What?
**[00:57] Raeliana**
Master Taylor?
**[02:40] Eugenia**
Welcome to the temple.
**[02:43] Eugenia**
I am Eugenia, the servant
of God who will guide you through
**[02:46] Eugenia**
the lighting of the sacred flame.
**[02:48] Eugenia**
Right this way, please.
**[02:57] Raeliana**
Huh? It's warm here...
**[03:00] Eugenia**
This temple and the surrounding area
are protected by our priests' powers.
**[03:05] Raeliana**
The priests' powers?
**[03:08] Eugenia**
You can think of this place
as being enclosed within a large dome.
**[03:16] Raeliana**
*I guess it's like a barrier?*
**[03:18] Eugenia**
That dome keeps the temperature within
the temple comfortable.
**[03:24] Raeliana**
Oh... I get it.
**[03:27] Eugenia**
The one to light the sacred
flame must be purified,
**[03:32] Eugenia**
so you will be taken
to the purification chamber.
**[03:35] Eugenia**
Your companions cannot
accompany you any further.
**[03:40] Eugenia**
Someone else will guide you from here.
Please wait where you are.
**[03:46] Raeliana**
Master Taylor, I'll be fine.
**[04:06] Raeliana**
Wow, there are so many books!
**[04:09] Eugenia**
This is the library.
**[04:11] Eugenia**
Books from across the land are kept here.
**[04:15] Eugenia**
Please feel free to look
at any that interest you.
**[04:18] Eugenia**
Over there is the courtyard.
**[04:20] Eugenia**
Just past it is
the boundary line of the dome.
**[04:26] Eugenia**
This is the bath used for purification.
**[04:29] Eugenia**
You will bathe here in the morning,
midday, and evening.
**[04:33] Raeliana**
Okay...
**[04:35] Raeliana**
* Well, I'm lighting*
* a sacred flame, after all.*
**[04:38] Eugenia**
Now, allow me to show you to your room.
**[04:48] Raeliana**
*Wh-What is this?*
**[04:52] Eugenia**
Before your bath,
you will consume this gruel.
**[04:58] Raeliana**
Um, Miss Eugenia, I have a question...
**[05:02] Eugenia**
What might that be?
**[05:05] Raeliana**
What... is that stuff made of?
**[05:11] Raeliana**
*Come on, say something!*
**[05:14] Eugenia**
It is vital in removing toxins
for your purification.
**[05:18] Raeliana**
I think this stuff would purify me all
the way into my next life!
**[05:23] Eugenia**
It is essential that you eat it.
**[05:27] Raeliana**
I think it'd be healthier
to eat nothing at all...
**[05:30] Eugenia**
You'll get used to it after the first taste.
**[05:33] Raeliana**
I-I can't!
**[05:36] Raeliana**
No!
**[05:42] Raeliana**
That tasted even worse than I imagined.
**[05:47] Raeliana**
* I have to eat that stuff*
* in the morning, midday, and evening?*
**[05:51] Raeliana**
*Every day until the ceremony?*
**[05:54] Raeliana**
* Just thinking about it*
* is making me nauseous!*
**[06:10] Raeliana**
*I want to run away.*
**[06:17] Raeliana**
A bird? Is it drowning?
**[06:35] Raeliana**
Are you okay?
**[06:38] Heika**
That's a flying bird.
**[06:41] Heika**
A bird that can only survive
in the low temperatures high up in the sky.
**[06:45] Heika**
Once they reach adulthood,
they don't come near the warmth of this dome.
**[06:53] Heika**
When birds that can't fly high
enough stray into the dome,
**[06:57] Heika**
they lose the ability to fly,
grow weak, and die.
**[07:02] Heika**
Whether they die by drowning
or simply by being in here, they still die.
**[07:06] Heika**
That's the bird's fate.
**[07:09] Raeliana**
I see.
**[07:13] Heika**
*Huh?*
**[07:14] Heika**
*Most people would be saddened by that.*
**[07:18] Heika**
*Did she not understand what I said?*
**[07:23] Heika**
What are you going to do?
**[07:25] Raeliana**
* She said the boundary line*
* of the dome was past the spring, right?*
**[07:31] Heika**
Are you thinking of letting it outside?
**[07:34] Heika**
That won't work.
**[07:35] Heika**
They can't withstand drastic
changes in temperature.
**[07:41] Heika**
*What's her deal?*
**[07:42] Heika**
*Doesn't she know who I am?*
**[07:59] Heika**
I told you. It's the bird's fate.
**[08:02] Heika**
The moment it entered this dome,
it was fated to die.
**[08:08] Raeliana**
*Fate...*
**[08:25] Raeliana**
Would you shut up already?!
**[08:28] Heika**
Wha—
**[08:29] Raeliana**
Whether you're fated to die
or not doesn't matter!
**[08:34] Raeliana**
As long as you have the will
to live, you'll live!
**[08:39] Raeliana**
You keep talking about dying!
**[08:41] Raeliana**
Is that what they teach at this temple?
**[08:46] Heika**
Do you have any idea who I am?!
**[08:49] Raeliana**
No, I don't.
**[08:51] Heika**
What utter insolence!!
**[08:53] Raeliana**
Okay, then, do you know who *I* am?
**[08:56] Heika**
How would I know that?!
**[08:59] Raeliana**
What a rude child.
**[09:02] Heika**
Excuse me?!
**[09:03] Heika**
I am the one and only Heika!
**[09:10] Raeliana**
It flew!
**[09:18] Raeliana**
There you go. You saw that, right?
**[09:22] Raeliana**
You can't just give up
on everything right away.
**[09:25] Raeliana**
Understand?
**[09:43] Raeliana**
*That's right.*
**[09:44] Raeliana**
* You can't just give up*
* on everything right away!*
**[09:47] Raeliana**
*Yeah!*
**[09:48] Raeliana**
Ugh... Gruel for dinner...
**[09:51] Raeliana**
Isn't there some way out of that?
**[09:59] Raeliana**
*There's gotta be somewhere to run.*
**[10:02] Eugenia**
Miss McMillan.
**[10:05] Eugenia**
So this is where you were.
**[10:09] Eugenia**
It's time for your purification.
**[10:15] Heika**
That's not her!
**[10:17] Wade**
You may go.
**[10:22] Heika**
How useless can you be?!
**[10:25] Heika**
You can't even do what I ask of you?!
**[10:27] Wade**
Uh-huh...
**[10:29] Heika**
Take a good look!
**[10:30] Heika**
I told you, *this* is what she looks like!
**[10:33] Heika**
And you still don't understand?!
**[10:36] Wade**
* What does he expect me to get*
* from such an abstract drawing?*
**[10:39] Heika**
Bring in the next one!
**[10:41] Wade**
The apprentice you just saw
was the last one.
**[10:44] Heika**
That can't be right!
**[10:46] Wade**
Pardon my saying so, but perhaps
you misremembered her face...
**[10:50] Heika**
What did you say?!
**[10:51] Wade**
N-Nothing!
**[10:53] Wade**
Um, why are you searching
for this priestess?
**[10:58] Heika**
To teach her once and for all just who I am!
**[11:02] Wade**
*Has he finally gone mad?*
**[11:04] Wade**
*He's definitely around that age.*
**[11:06] Heika**
What?
**[11:07] Wade**
Nothing...
**[11:09] Wade**
Surely there is no priest
or priestess who doesn't know who you are.
**[11:14] Heika**
I'm telling you this because there *is* one!
**[11:17] Wade**
But that can't be...
**[11:19] Wade**
All the priests and priestesses
here are well educated.
**[11:22] Heika**
I've had enough of you, you fool!
**[11:25] Wade**
Y-Your Holiness? Where are you going?
**[11:28] Wade**
Your Holiness!
**[11:31] Heika**
* I've never been treated*
* that way by such a barbarian before!*
**[11:47] Raeliana**
*I can't take any more.*
**[11:49] Raeliana**
* I wonder if I can find some way*
* to avoid that midday gruel.*
**[12:04] Raeliana**
*She looks familiar somehow.*
**[12:08] Raeliana**
*I wonder how Noah's doing...*
**[12:11] Raeliana**
* while I'm stuck here,*
* going through all this misery...*
**[12:15] Raeliana**
*And the whole reason I'm suffering like this*
**[12:19] Raeliana**
* is because he had to go*
* and bring me that creoder.*
**[12:24] Raeliana**
That idiot.
**[12:30] Noah**
Adam, we'll go to the Heeler Mountains next.
**[12:35] Noah**
I hear a dragon lives there.
**[12:46] Eugenia**
The star of this year's ceremony is
nothing like Lady Vivian Shamal in past years.
**[12:53] Eugenia**
* She complains, but she eats*
* the food she's given.*
**[12:58] Eugenia**
*It's truly admirable.*
**[13:03] Eugenia**
M-My lady... Wh-Whatever is the matter?
**[13:07] Raeliana**
Please... Please spare me just this once...
**[13:11] Eugenia**
Huh?
**[13:12] Eugenia**
Spare you from what?
**[13:13] Raeliana**
From...
**[13:14] Raeliana**
From that, of course!
**[13:17] Raeliana**
Miss Eugenia, I really,
seriously can't take any more of this!
**[13:25] Raeliana**
Miss Eugenia, please! Have mercy on me!
**[13:28] Eugenia**
In that case, will you transcribe
the holy texts in the library instead?
**[13:33] Raeliana**
Y-Yes! I'll do anything!
**[13:37] Eugenia**
Transcribing the holy texts
is quite challenging.
**[13:41] Raeliana**
That's fine!
**[13:43] Eugenia**
Then we'll have you do that today.
**[13:45] Eugenia**
Your writing implements are ready for...
**[13:50] Eugenia**
you?
**[13:57] Raeliana**
Pardon me...
**[14:00] Raeliana**
Typical temple. All the
books look super difficult.
**[14:08] Raeliana**
This must be it.
**[14:11] Raeliana**
So they're translating other countries'
holy texts into the official language?
**[14:18] Raeliana**
I guess that means I'm not just
transcribing it, but interpreting it, too.
**[14:23] Raeliana**
* Suddenly knowing every language*
* after coming to this world*
**[14:28] Raeliana**
*sure is nice at a time like this.*
**[14:31] Raeliana**
* I just need to write it*
* the way it's been written so far, right?*
**[14:41] Wade**
Your Holiness... Your Holiness!
**[14:44] Wade**
P-Please wait!
**[14:47] Heika**
What?! Unhand me, you boor!
**[14:49] Wade**
W-We completed ten laps around
the temple yesterday,
**[14:52] Wade**
and this is already
the third one this morning...
**[14:57] Wade**
You really must get back to your work now.
**[15:01] Heika**
You're the one who decided to follow me.
**[15:05] Heika**
Having you around doesn't
even help me at all.
**[15:08] Heika**
Just go away right now.
**[15:10] Wade**
B-But I can't—
**[15:13] Wade**
Wh-Where are you going?
**[15:14] Heika**
The library.
**[15:16] Heika**
Since you won't shut up,
I'll at least finish the translation!
**[15:21] Wade**
Th-This is...
**[15:22] Wade**
Who in the world had the audacity
to finish the work you had started?
**[15:30] Wade**
I-I'm so sorry, Your Holiness!
**[15:33] Wade**
I was so distracted by our visitors,
**[15:35] Wade**
I forgot to instruct them
to let nobody enter the library!
**[15:38] Heika**
It's perfect.
**[15:39] Wade**
Huh?
**[15:40] Heika**
Their vocabulary is only around the level
of a new enrollee in theological school,
**[15:44] Heika**
but the writing is as natural
as a native speaker's.
**[15:47] Wade**
Surely not...
**[15:48] Heika**
We had someone this talented?
**[15:50] Heika**
With a bit of education
from me, they could...
**[15:54] Heika**
Find them!
**[15:55] Wade**
What?
**[15:56] Heika**
Why are you so slow on the uptake?!
**[15:59] Heika**
I'm telling you to find
the person who wrote this!
**[16:02] Wade**
O-Of course!
**[16:07] Heika**
Something that cute shouldn't come
from someone with a mug like yours.
**[16:10] Wade**
P-Please leave me alone.
**[16:25] Raeliana**
What's this?
**[16:30] Heika**
You!
**[16:32] Heika**
You're the barbarian!
**[16:34] Raeliana**
What? Are you talking to me?
**[16:40] Raeliana**
* What's with this kid?*
* He's been like this since yesterday.*
**[16:47] Heika**
Are you the one
who worked on the translation
**[16:49] Heika**
of the Third Holy Text
that I had started in the library?
**[16:52] Raeliana**
The library? Third Holy Text?
**[16:55] Raeliana**
Yes, that was me. Why?
**[16:58] Heika**

Y-Yes?
**[17:39] Heika**
I'm making this girl my disciple!
**[17:41] Wade/Raeliana**
Huh?
**[17:46] Wade**
Your Holiness, please don't.
**[17:47] Raeliana**
Holiness?
**[17:49] Wade**
You are Miss McMillan, yes?
**[17:51] Wade**
I am Wade Davis, the head priest.
**[17:54] Wade**
I'm terribly sorry for startling you.
**[17:58] Heika**
Just hurry up and put her name
on the register already!
**[18:01] Raeliana**
Um... What did you mean by "Your Holiness"?
**[18:03] Wade**
This is His Holiness Heika Demint.
**[18:09] Raeliana**
Excuse me? His Holiness Heika Demint?
**[18:13] (Flashback) Knight1**
He is known as a living legend.
**[18:16] Raeliana**
*A living legend?*
**[18:24] Wade**
His divine powers are sealed at the moment,
**[18:27] Wade**
which has unfortunately
left him in this state.
**[18:30] Raeliana**
No way...
**[18:31] Heika**
Consider it an honor to be chosen by me!
**[18:34] Raeliana**
* Why didn't anyone tell me to watch out*
* for a white-haired kid in the temple?!*
**[18:41] Raeliana**
* Or that he was the leader*
* of this whole religion?!*
**[18:46] Raeliana**
Your Holiness, allow me to introduce myself.
**[18:50] Raeliana**
I am Raeliana, the eldest daughter
of the McMillan household.
**[18:53] Heika**
Uh-huh.
**[18:55] Heika**
* No wonder I didn't*
* recognize her. She's a noble.*
**[18:58] Raeliana**
I couldn't possibly be worthy
of personal instruction from you.
**[19:04] Heika**
*Wait, what is this girl talking about?*
**[19:08] Heika**
Are you refusing a glorious decree
to become my disciple?
**[19:11] Raeliana**
*Disciple?*
**[19:12] Raeliana**
* Would I have to stay here and transcribe*
* that weird language all the time?*
**[19:15] Raeliana**
*Never gonna happen!*
**[19:17] Raeliana**
I do apologize for failing
to meet your expectations.
**[19:20] Heika**
You mean because you were so rude to me?
**[19:24] Raeliana**
Oh, right...
**[19:27] Raeliana**
* So this is what they mean when they say you*
* should be polite to everyone, no matter who.*
**[19:32] Heika**
I'm willing to forgive you for that.
**[19:35] Raeliana**
I am grateful for your
generosity, Your Holiness.
**[19:39] Heika**
Nah, think nothing of it!
**[19:41] Raeliana**
But still, I really must decline.
**[19:46] Heika**
Wade, I think I heard her wrong.
**[19:50] Wade**
You heard her exactly right.
**[19:52] Heika**
But why?!
**[19:54] Wade**
I'm afraid asking me won't help.
**[19:56] Heika**
Why?!
**[19:59] Heika**
She left?
**[20:00] Wade**
Yes.
**[20:02] Heika**
She really left?
**[20:04] Wade**
Yes.
**[20:06] Heika**
Why did she turn me down?!
**[20:07] Wade**
Again, I don't think asking me will help...
**[20:13] Heika**
Wade...
**[20:14] Heika**
Why do you think she turned me down?
**[20:17] Wade**
* The geezer's been asking me this*
* since the crack of dawn...*
**[20:19] Heika**
Why?
**[20:20] Wade**
I would guess that she thought
it was too great a burden...
**[20:24] Heika**
So what should I do, then?
**[20:26] Wade**
*Huh?*
**[20:27] Wade**
* Normally he'd be flying off*
* the handle, like,*
**[20:30] Wade**
* "That petty noble had*
* the nerve to refuse my offer?!"*
**[20:34] Wade**
Perhaps you should start by reducing
the burden it would impose on her?
**[20:38] Heika**
How?
**[20:39] Wade**
You could try being
a bit more friendly, or...
**[20:43] Wade**
*C-Crap!*
**[20:45] Wade**
* As if this old geezer*
* is even capable of that!*
**[20:48] Wade**
Your Holiness! Forgive my—
**[20:49] Heika**
That's it.
**[20:50] Wade**
Huh?
**[20:51] Wade**
Your Holiness?
**[20:52] Heika**
It's clear that she still
doesn't realize who I am.
**[20:56] Wade**
No, I... huh?
**[20:58] Heika**
Open the gate to the Holy Land immediately.
**[21:02] Wade**
P-Pardon?
**[21:03] Wade**
What?!
**[21:04] Priest**
Hurry! There's no time!
**[21:06] Priestess1**
Why do we have to open the gate?
**[21:08] Priest**
Orders from His Holiness, apparently.
**[21:10] Priestess2**
Less talking, more working!
**[21:12] Priestess3**
What about this?
**[21:13] Priest**
Someone help me move this!
**[21:14] Priestess4**
Someone, help!
**[21:15] Priestess5**
Can we get more people over here?
**[21:16] Noah**
Something feels different
from how this usually is.
**[21:22] Raeliana**
That's quite a commotion.
Did something happen?
**[21:25] Maid**
I believe they're preparing
for tomorrow's banquet
**[21:28] Maid**
celebrating the lighting
of the sacred flame.
**[21:30] Maid**
Though the preparations
aren't usually quite this hectic.
**[21:34] Raeliana**
So that's it.
**[21:36] Maid**
Pardon me, my lady, but about this...
**[21:41] Raeliana**
Oh, that...
**[21:43] Maid**
It's truly a beautiful hair accessory.
**[21:45] Maid**
I believe it will go well
with your outfit for today.
**[23:05] Raeliana**
* I don't know why, but I've had*
* a bad feeling this whole time.*
**[23:09] Maid**
It suits you beautifully.
**[23:11] Raeliana**
Thank you.
**[23:20] Maid**
Now, come with me, please.
**[23:22] Raeliana**
Okay.

**[00:12] Baylene**
There he is!
**[00:17] Baylene**
I refuse to give up just because
he has a fiancée now!
**[00:22] Baylene**
If he'll just take this
handkerchief in his hands...
**[00:45] Keith**
Duke!
**[00:46] Keith**
You're stepping on Lady Baylene's handkerchief!
**[00:51] Noah**
Whoops. Dear me.
**[00:54] Noah**
Lord Westernberg...
**[00:59] Noah**
Go apologize to the lady in my stead.
**[01:02] Noah**
Tell her I'll make it up to her.
**[01:06] Keith**
Very well.
**[03:09] Noah**
It's been a while.
**[03:11] Raeliana**
Yes.
**[03:14] Raeliana**
What have you been looking at?
**[03:18] Noah**
I was getting a lesson about never touching
things that belong to someone else.
**[03:23] Raeliana**
*To someone else?*
**[03:26] Noah**
Let's go.
**[03:28] Raeliana**
Right...
**[03:30] Noah**
You seem to have lost some weight.
**[03:34] Raeliana**
Yeah... you could say I went
through some things.
**[03:47] Raeliana**
Aren't those...
**[03:49] Raeliana**
the Holy Knights?
**[03:52] Raeliana**
* I had heard that I might or*
* might not see them once in my life,*
**[03:56] Raeliana**
* but I thought it was incredibly rare*
* for them to leave the Holy Land.*
**[04:03] Heika**
Raeliana!
**[04:06] Wade**
His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, Heika Demint.
**[04:21] Raeliana**
*The light's so bright...*
**[04:24] Raeliana**
* They didn't bring the Holy Knights*
* here just to do this, did they?*
**[04:32] Heika**
You didn't seem to understand
what a big deal I am,
**[04:35] Heika**
so I opened the gate to the Holy Land
and brought the Holy Knights here.
**[04:43] Heika**
*What is with that disapproving look?*
**[04:47] Heika**
*Just what is it she objects to?*
**[04:49] (Flashback) Wade**
You could try being
a bit more friendly, or...
**[04:54] Heika**
*Friendly...*
**[04:56] Heika**
* But I've lived the past 150 years*
* with no family or friends.*
**[05:02] Heika**
*Oh, I know!*
**[05:03] Heika**
* There was one member*
* of the Holy Land's council*
**[05:06] Heika**
* of elders who bragged*
* about his granddaughter!*
**[05:11] Heika**
Raeliana...
**[05:13] Raeliana**
Yes?
**[05:16] Heika**
I will be your grandpa!
**[05:23] Heika**
Go on, call me "Grandpa"!
**[05:25] Raeliana**
I could never say something
so rude to Your Holiness.
**[05:30] Heika**
I'm giving you permission to!
**[05:33] Raeliana**
* I really don't need*
* that kind of permission.*
**[05:36] Raeliana**
Wh-While that is truly a great honor...
**[05:40] Wade**
Y-Your Holiness, might I have a moment?
**[05:43] Heika**
What is it?
**[05:44] Wade**
Pardon us, my lady.
**[05:45] Heika**
You boor!
**[05:46] Heika**
How dare you take away my
precious time with my grandchild?!
**[05:49] Wade**
What is the meaning of suddenly
calling yourself her "grandpa"?!
**[05:52] Heika**
Well, there's a bit too much of an
age gap for me to be her father.
**[05:57] Wade**
True...
**[05:58] Wade**
But considering your real age,
even "grandpa" is a bit...
**[06:02] Wade**
Wait, that's not the point!
**[06:04] Wade**
I'm asking what you're trying to achieve
by suddenly taking her as your granddaughter!
**[06:10] Heika**
You're the one who told me
to be more friendly!
**[06:16] Heika**
I'm offering to be her grandfather!
**[06:19] Heika**
What greater honor could there be?!
**[06:21] Wade**
*Honor?*
**[06:23] Wade**
*H-He is so...*
**[06:27] Heika**
What's the matter? Are you in pain?
**[06:34] Noah**
Lord Westernberg, you seem tired.
**[06:38] Keith**
Are you quite pleased with yourself
for sacrificing me to Lady Baylene?
**[06:43] Noah**
Better than sacrificing you to a dragon, no?
**[06:49] Heika**
Just stop getting in my way already!
**[06:50] Wade**
I'm not getting in your way!
**[06:51] Noah**
Raeliana...
**[06:52] Raeliana**
Uh... Yes?
**[06:52] Heika**
Just stay on the sidelines
and keep your mouth shut!
**[06:56] Noah**
Where are you going?
**[06:57] Raeliana**
Um... The restroom.
**[06:59] Noah**
I believe that would be
in the other direction.
**[07:10] Heika**
Raeliana, what's that?
**[07:13] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[07:23] Noah**
Raeliana!
**[07:27] Heika**
Don't move!
**[07:29] Heika**
Stay still.
**[08:01] Raeliana**
*No way.*
**[08:03] Raeliana**
* That thing was obviously about*
* to explode right on my head...*
**[08:11] Heika**
Raeliana...
**[08:17] Heika**
How about it?
**[08:18] Heika**
Will you call me your grandpa now?
**[08:29] Heika**
Crystallite.
**[08:31] Heika**
A mineral produced in the Holy Land.
**[08:35] Heika**
Very few people have it due to
strict limitations on its import.
**[08:41] Heika**
It looks beautiful,
**[08:43] Heika**
but when exposed to light, it absorbs it...
**[08:46] Heika**
and explodes.
**[08:52] Heika**
*He has the look of a wild beast in his eyes.*
**[08:55] Heika**
*I've learned in my 150 years*
**[08:57] Heika**
* that those who don't plainly show*
* their emotions are the most underhanded.*
**[09:05] Heika**
How very disagreeable.
**[09:08] Heika**
What is your relationship to my Raeliana?
**[09:13] Noah**
*Your* Raeliana?
**[09:15] Heika**
What? You have a problem
with me calling her that?
**[09:21] Noah**
I am her fiancé.
**[09:23] Heika**
* It's difficult for women to exercise their*
* full abilities once they're married.*
**[09:29] Heika**
* If she marries him and I lose access*
* to her talent with languages...*
**[09:36] Heika**
I foresee you self-destructing
as a result of your dual personality.
**[09:40] Heika**
Break up with my Raeliana.
**[09:43] Wade**
This old fool...
**[09:47] Noah**
Your Holiness,
**[09:48] Noah**
I give you my most heartfelt thanks
for saving my fiancée today.
**[09:55] Noah**
I have heard that your organization's
financial situation has suffered of late.
**[10:00] Noah**
I would like to offer it my support.
**[10:04] Noah**
Because you saved *my fiancée*.
**[10:08] Heika**
*Your* fiancée, you say?
**[10:11] Heika**
Well, she's *my* granddaughter,
so you needn't worry about her. Ever.
**[10:15] Noah**
You may advise me not to worry about her,
**[10:17] Noah**
but it is my duty
to take care of *my fiancée*.
**[10:28] Wade**
Your Grace, please allow me to explain
the financial support procedure.
**[10:44] Noah**
Sir Adam...
**[10:45] Adam**
Your Grace.
**[10:46] Noah**
Choose the most talented knights
and send them to Granger Castle.
**[11:13] Raeliana**
*If even a few more seconds had passed...*
**[11:15] Raeliana**
*No, if Heika hadn't been there...*
**[11:23] (Flashback) Heika**
The moment it entered this dome,
it was fated to die.
**[11:36] Raeliana**
* Since Raeliana McMillan*
* is just a side character...*
**[11:42] Raeliana**
* Maybe she really is destined*
* to die in the end?*
**[11:48] Raeliana**
*As Beatrice's reason for returning home...*
**[11:55] Raeliana**
*I have to stop this!*
**[11:56] Raeliana**
* They say negative thoughts*
* will bring negative outcomes.*
**[11:59] Raeliana**
* Before I get all disheartened,*
* I have to find out who was behind this.*
**[12:22] Raeliana**
*When did it get darker in here?*
**[12:28] Raeliana**
Who's there?!
**[12:31] Noah**
Raeliana?
**[12:32] Raeliana**
You startled me!
**[12:34] Noah**
You were genuinely in grave danger today!
**[12:39] Raeliana**
Noah...
**[12:41] Raeliana**
I don't think it's very considerate of you
to come here without notice.
**[12:45] Noah**
Francis Brooks and Jake Langston
are dead, and yet...
**[12:51] Raeliana**
* So he lied about them being*
* sent to Saint Bell Prison?*
**[12:56] Noah**
Who is it?
**[12:58] Raeliana**
I don't know what you're asking me.
**[13:03] Noah**
Someone is trying to kill you.
**[13:06] Noah**
Someone other than Francis Brooks.
**[13:10] Noah**
Who is it?
**[13:11] Raeliana**
I don't know!
**[13:14] Noah**
Does it have something to do
with the royal seal?
**[13:17] Noah**
Or is there something else going on?
**[13:19] Noah**
Tell me the truth!
**[13:25] Raeliana**
I'll tell you tomorrow.
**[13:30] Noah**
No! Right now!
**[13:32] Noah**
I don't want you getting into any
more situations that I can't control!
**[13:37] Raeliana**
You're hurting me!
**[13:38] Noah**
Tell me right now!
**[14:00] Raeliana**
Take some time to cool
your head, Duke Wynknight.
**[14:04] Raeliana**
Do you know what this place is?
**[14:18] Noah**
* The purification chamber, into which*
* only those with permission may enter.*
**[14:24] Noah**
*Why am I so unable to stop myself?*
**[14:30] (Flashback) Keith**
Are you serious about Miss McMillan?
**[14:38] Raeliana**
Why are you so angry?
**[14:41] Raeliana**
Because I won't tell you the truth?
**[14:46] Raeliana**
* It's only natural that*
* Noah wouldn't believe me.*
**[14:49] Raeliana**
* We're only together*
* because of our contract, after all.*
**[14:54] Raeliana**
*So why is he so agitated?*
**[15:14] Noah**
Raeliana...
**[15:17] Noah**
I'm sorry.
**[15:21] Noah**
It's just...
**[15:23] Noah**
when I thought that I might lose you...
**[15:31] Noah**
I nearly lost my mind.
**[15:41] Raeliana**
What... does that mean?
**[15:49] Noah**
Please rest well.
**[16:00] Raeliana**
*What did he mean?*
**[16:16] Eugenia**
This way, please.
**[16:28] (Flashback) Noah**
I nearly lost my mind.
**[16:32] Raeliana**
* The moment I start*
* thinking about it, I lose.*
**[16:34] Raeliana**
*I've got this all wrong!*
**[16:37] Raeliana**
*Yeah! It's all a mistake!*
**[16:50] Wade**
* Normally, His Holiness refrains*
* from presiding over*
**[16:52] Wade**
* the lighting of the sacred flame*
* in the interest of fairness.*
**[16:58] Wade**
* He must have really taken*
* a liking to Miss McMillan.*
**[17:03] Heika**
Raeliana, I am your grandpa.
**[17:08] Raeliana**
Your Holiness,
**[17:09] Raeliana**
my rudeness toward you the other day
was by no means intentional.
**[17:14] Heika**
Go on. Call me that.
**[17:16] Raeliana**
I was just treating it
as a casual exchange...
**[17:19] Heika**
It's true that I had never been spoken
to in such a barbaric way before.
**[17:23] Heika**
It was the first time I'd lost sleep
over something in all my 150 years.
**[17:30] Raeliana**
* Raeliana's real grandfather,*
* wherever you are...*
**[17:33] Raeliana**
* This isn't what I want at all,*
* so please forgive me.*
**[17:40] Raeliana**
I am grateful... Grandpa.
**[18:27] Wade**
Absolutely not!
**[18:29] Wade**
What do you mean, you're going
with Miss McMillan?!
**[18:33] Heika**
I am the supreme pontiff!
**[18:35] Heika**
If I say I'm going, I'm going!
**[18:37] Heika**
What is the issue?!
**[18:38] Wade**
It is a tremendous issue!
**[18:40] Wade**
It is unheard of for a supreme pontiff
to walk around anywhere he pleases!
**[18:44] Heika**
Get out of my way!
**[18:46] Wade**
I absolutely will not allow this!
**[18:48] Heika**
Would you give it a rest already?!
**[18:52] Heika**
Of all the times for you to use
that damn brute strength...
**[18:54] Raeliana**
Thank you, Head Priest.
**[18:59] Raeliana**
From the bottom of my heart.
**[19:24] Father**
Justin, you are the eldest son
of the Shamal household.
**[19:27] Father**
You have a duty to succeed me
in leading this family.
**[19:33] Father**
Hey! Are you listening to me?
**[19:35] Justin**
I hear you quite well.
**[19:38] Father**
Are you ever going to
stop fixating on that woman?
**[19:42] Justin**
I have been planning
this trip for some time.
**[19:46] Justin**
It has nothing to do with her.
**[19:49] Father**
You think I know nothing?
**[19:52] Father**
This is why I told you
to stay away from her.
**[19:57] Father**
Justin, wait!
**[19:59] Justin**
Well, then...
**[20:01] Justin**
Your ungrateful son will now take his leave.
**[20:05] Father**
Go check in on Vivian.
**[20:07] Father**
She always listens to you.
**[20:10] Justin**
Has something happened?
**[20:13] Father**
Apparently, the young McMillan lady
**[20:16] Father**
was involved in an accident
on the day of the lighting ceremony.
**[20:21] Justin**
An accident?
**[20:23] Father**
There are rumors that it was all set up,
**[20:25] Father**
but the Wynknight household
is keeping strictly silent about that.
**[20:31] Justin**
And what does that have to do with Vivian?
**[20:34] Father**
Well, only that she's probably asking
herself, "What if it had been me?"
**[20:40] Father**
In any case, Vivian is
to become queen one day.
**[20:45] Father**
I need you to convince her
to visit the king frequently.
**[20:50] Justin**
* He's desperate to get royal blood*
* into his family line.*
**[20:55] Justin**
Very well.
**[20:57] Father**
I'm counting on you.
**[21:03] Justin**
*I know Vivian.*
**[21:05] Justin**
* This is most likely about*
* Duke Wynknight's fiancée.*
**[21:11] Justin**
*How should I convince her?*
**[21:15] Vivian**
This is all your fault!
What are you going to do about it?!
**[21:19] Beatrice**
No, not mine.
**[21:21] Beatrice**
This was your choice, my lady.
**[21:25] Justin**
Vivian?!
**[21:26] Vivian**
Brother? When did you return?
**[21:30] Justin**
What is going on here?
**[21:32] Vivian**
Nothing.
**[21:44] Justin**
Ah, forgive me!
**[21:45] Justin**
It was rude of me to behave
that way in front of a guest!
**[21:53] Beatrice**
Please, think nothing of it.
**[21:58] Beatrice**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
My name is Beatrice.

**[00:14] Raeliana**
*Sword fighting?*
**[00:20] Raeliana**
*Usually, Noah's buried in paperwork*
**[00:23] Raeliana**
*since it's his duty to assist the king,*
**[00:26] Raeliana**
*but in the novel,*
**[00:27] Raeliana**
* he was described as more talented*
* with the sword than with the pen.*
**[00:30] Raeliana**
* Wait, why am I paying so much*
* attention to him right now?!*
**[00:34] Noah**
Raeliana...
**[00:38] Noah**
Were you bored?
**[00:39] Raeliana**
Uh, no. Is the training finished?
**[00:43] Noah**
You were gazing at me so intensely,
I couldn't just ignore you.
**[00:50] Raeliana**
I was just looking at the swords.
**[00:52] Raeliana**
I thought I might learn swordsmanship, too.
**[00:55] Noah**
That could be a good idea.
**[00:58] Noah**
In that case...
**[01:07] Noah**
Why not do something more fun?
**[01:11] Raeliana**
"Something more fun"?
**[02:53] Noah**
You there.
**[02:54] Noah**
Call Grace.
**[02:56] Employee**
With pleasure.
**[02:59] Noah**
I thought...
**[03:01] Noah**
I'd take this opportunity
to organize my jewels.
**[03:05] Raeliana**
Why?
**[03:07] Noah**
Well, you see, I actually have a fiancée.
**[03:09] Raeliana**
You mean that really
beautiful fiancée, right?
**[03:13] Noah**
Yes, she is a "really beautiful" fiancée...
**[03:17] Noah**
But because she has no self-respect
and lacks good judgment,
**[03:20] Noah**
she tends to bring home
every little thing she finds.
**[03:23] Noah**
Even after I've warned her
against it so many times...
**[03:29] Raeliana**
*Is he saying that was my fault?*
**[03:32] Raeliana**
Actually, my Duke, I also have a fiancé.
**[03:37] Noah**
You mean the fiancé
with the very handsome face?
**[03:41] Raeliana**
Yes, and that fiancé
with his *slightly* good looks
**[03:45] Raeliana**
shows no respect or
consideration for his fiancée,
**[03:49] Raeliana**
so he just goes around telling half-truths.
**[03:52] Raeliana**
Even after I've warned him
against it so many times...
**[03:58] Noah**
Come with me.
**[04:03] Noah**
He can't keep his hands to himself, either.
**[04:09] Raeliana**
Noah...
**[04:13] Noah**
Do you see these jewels?
**[04:17] Noah**
I brought my "really beautiful"
fiancée here out of respect for her.
**[04:26] Noah**
Now do you feel that your fiancé with the
**[04:29] Noah**
"slightly good looks"
shows consideration for you?
**[04:32] Raeliana**
Hey...
**[04:33] Grace**
Duke Wynknight, thank you for waiting.
**[04:37] Noah**
Grace.
**[04:39] Grace**
Well, well!
**[04:40] Grace**
This must be the fiancée
I've heard so much about.
**[04:44] Grace**
I had thought you
weren't interested in women,
**[04:48] Grace**
but I suppose you just hadn't
found one you liked before now.
**[04:52] Raeliana**
Uh, a-actually...
**[04:54] Noah**
Well done, Madam Grace.
**[04:56] Noah**
You've seen through me.
**[04:58] Grace**
I've just received some fine articles.
**[05:01] Grace**
Would you like to see them?
**[05:03] Noah**
Please.
**[05:05] Grace**
This one is called the "Mermaid's Tear."
**[05:08] Grace**
It fetched the highest price of all
the items in the Devassa Auction.
**[05:12] Noah**
What do you think? Do you like it?
**[05:15] Raeliana**
It's absolutely beautiful!
**[05:18] Noah**
I'm glad to hear that.
**[05:19] Raeliana**
Of course, they're all beautiful, but...
**[05:23] Noah**
In that case, I'll take
everything in the store.
**[05:27] Raeliana**
What?!
**[05:28] Grace**
A fine choice, Your Grace!
**[05:30] Grace**
We'll start with this, then.
**[05:34] Noah**
We'll take this now.
**[05:35] Noah**
Have all the others sent to my mansion.
**[05:38] Grace**
With pleasure.
**[05:45] Raeliana**
*Can I really accept this?*
**[05:48] Noah**
It suits you well, Raeliana.
**[05:53] Raeliana**
*D-Don't think about it!*
**[06:42] Noah**
You aren't tired?
**[06:45] Raeliana**
We haven't been walking that much.
**[06:48] Noah**
I heard you gave the maids time off.
**[06:51] Raeliana**
Yes.
**[06:52] Raeliana**
Doesn't it seem heartless to not at least
**[06:55] Raeliana**
let them spend Thanksgiving
with their families?
**[06:57] Raeliana**
*Of course, that's just the excuse I gave.*
**[06:59] Raeliana**
*I just wanted a day to take it easy!*
**[07:08] Gideon**
Master...
**[07:16] Noah**
Raeliana, there's been a problem.
**[07:19] Noah**
I need to leave now.
**[07:22] Raeliana**
All right. Take care.
**[07:34] Raeliana**
Yes?
**[07:35] Haley**
Pardon me...
**[07:37] Haley**
My lady.
**[07:39] Raeliana**
Haley!
**[07:40] Raeliana**
You haven't gone home yet?
**[07:42] Haley**
I truly thank you for granting me time off.
**[07:48] Raeliana**
Go and enjoy Thanksgiving.
**[07:50] Haley**
I will.
**[07:52] Haley**
Actually, there's something
I need to tell you.
**[07:56] Raeliana**
Wh-What is it?
**[07:57] Haley**
You must never, under any circumstances,
**[07:59] Haley**
look at the mirror in the
back room of the west building.
**[08:02] Raeliana**
A mirror? Why not?
**[08:04] Haley**
A certain maid was assigned
to do the rounds there,
**[08:08] Haley**
and she said she heard a voice.
**[08:11] Raeliana**
Wh-What does that mean?
**[08:13] Haley**
There's a spirit trapped inside
the mirror in that room.
**[08:18] Haley**
It's said that if you make eye contact
**[08:21] Haley**
with the spirit in
the mirror, it'll talk to you.
**[08:26] Raeliana**
Wh-What does it say?
**[08:28] Haley**
"I'll tell you anything you want to know."
**[08:32] Raeliana**
Anything?
**[08:38] Haley**
Oh, look at the time!
**[08:40] Haley**
Well, my lady,
**[08:41] Haley**
I still need to prepare my luggage
for my return home.
**[08:53] Raeliana**
*If there really are mirrors like that,*
**[08:56] Raeliana**
*there is one thing I'd like to know.*
**[08:59] Raeliana**
* Where is Beatrice,*
* the actual heroine of this story?*
**[09:22] Raeliana**
*This is scary...*
**[09:23] Raeliana**
* I should've just stayed*
* quietly in my room.*
**[09:30] Raeliana**
*This must be it, right?*
**[09:32] Raeliana**
*This is so scary!*
**[09:41] Raeliana**
Oh, just some birds.
**[09:56] Raeliana**
*Wh-What do I do?*
**[09:58] Raeliana**
* Do I really need to*
* make eye contact with it?*
**[10:00] Raeliana**
* What if the thing about telling*
* you what you want to know is a lie,*
**[10:03] Raeliana**
*and it actually curses me instead?!*
**[10:13] Raeliana**
A voice...
**[10:14] Raeliana**
I couldn't hear it very clearly,
but I definitely heard it.
**[10:32] Noah**
Are you all right?
**[10:36] Noah**
Why do you look so startled?
**[10:39] Raeliana**
Because... I saw it!
**[10:43] Noah**
Saw what?
**[10:45] Raeliana**
A ghost.
**[10:48] Noah**
A ghost?
**[10:50] Raeliana**
Do you think I'm making
it up?! It's the truth!
**[10:55] Noah**
Well, then, we'll get
a priest here tomorrow.
**[10:59] Raeliana**
What are you doing here, anyway?
**[11:02] Noah**
Oh... I forgot something in here.
**[11:05] Raeliana**
Because you were worried about me?!
**[11:07] Noah**
No, I forgot something.
**[11:14] Raeliana**
Are you going straight back, then?
**[11:20] Noah**
No.
**[11:22] Noah**
It's nothing that can't wait until tomorrow.
**[11:25] Noah**
Do you want me to walk
you back to your room?
**[11:27] Raeliana**
Oh... Yes!
**[11:37] Raeliana**
*But... why did he come back?*
**[11:41] Raeliana**
*He says he forgot something,*
**[11:43] Raeliana**
*but would he come to get it at this hour?*
**[11:45] Raeliana**
*Maybe he really was worried about me?*
**[11:50] Noah**
Let's go.
**[11:51] Raeliana**
R-Right.
**[11:53] Raeliana**
*Nah, couldn't be.*
**[12:03] Raeliana**
Thank you for taking the time to do this.
**[12:06] Raeliana**
Goodnight, then.
**[12:09] Noah**
Aren't you scared?
**[12:11] Raeliana**
Of what?
**[12:13] Noah**
Ghosts. You saw one, didn't you?
**[12:16] Raeliana**
Well, yes, I did, but...
**[12:19] Noah**
I bet you'll just lie
awake crying, won't you?
**[12:22] Raeliana**
Just go now, please!
**[12:23] Noah**
Now, don't say that.
**[12:26] Raeliana**
H-Hey!
**[12:29] Noah**
Here.
**[12:30] Noah**
I'll stay with you until you fall asleep.
**[12:32] Noah**
Go to bed.
**[12:41] Raeliana**
You can sleep in the bed, then.
**[12:43] Raeliana**
I'll sleep in the chair.
**[12:49] Raeliana**
Wh-What... Noah?
**[12:52] Raeliana**
W-Wait!
**[13:12] Noah**
It's not as if it's your first time.
Why react that way now?
**[13:15] Raeliana**
D-Do you have to say it like that?!
**[13:17] Raeliana**
If anyone else heard you,
they'd get the wrong idea!
**[13:20] Noah**
I don't want to be the kind of scum
that makes his fiancée sleep in a chair,
**[13:24] Noah**
so please sleep beside me.
**[13:33] Noah**
Mind if I read this?
**[13:35] Raeliana**
* A love story about the forbidden*
* romance between a knight and a princess.*
**[13:40] Raeliana**
I don't think it's your
kind of story, though.
**[13:43] Noah**
It's all right. I don't
pay attention to genres.
**[13:59] Raeliana**
*It's no use! I can't sleep!*
**[14:05] Raeliana**
Noah?
**[14:06] Noah**
Yes?
**[14:08] Raeliana**
How far have you gotten?
**[14:10] Noah**
To the point where
the two of them meet at the ball.
**[14:13] Raeliana**
Oh, that part!
**[14:15] Raeliana**
Doesn't it just make your heart race?
**[14:17] Noah**
Indeed.
**[14:19] Noah**
It's so comical that it's actually dramatic.
**[14:23] Raeliana**
Comical?
**[14:24] Noah**
They meet by chance
and fall in love at first sight,
**[14:26] Noah**
but a sudden accident separates them.
**[14:29] Noah**
A few months later, they happen
to meet again at a ball.
**[14:33] Noah**
The way it's built on a
series of coincidences is comical,
**[14:35] Noah**
and it lacks realism.
**[14:38] Raeliana**
Says the protagonist of a romance novel.
**[14:44] Raeliana**
If all you're after is realism,
**[14:46] Raeliana**
you'll never experience
any thrills or romance.
**[14:49] Raeliana**
Did you read the part where
the knight confesses his love?
**[14:52] Noah**
Not yet.
**[14:53] Raeliana**
Well, hurry up and read it!
It'll make your heart flutter!
**[14:56] Noah**
Raeliana... Aren't you going to sleep?
**[14:59] Raeliana**
Why do you ask?
**[15:02] Noah**
Because you're a nuisance.
**[15:05] Raeliana**
Oh... Right, right.
**[15:08] Noah**
It's late enough already. Go to sleep.
**[15:10] Raeliana**
Fine.
**[15:50] Noah**
*I'm going to go crazy.*
**[16:11] Noah**
Count O'Brian.
**[16:17] Naomi**
Ah, Duke Wynknight.
It's good to see you again.
**[16:23] Noah**
I'd heard you were far
from home on a mission.
**[16:27] Naomi**
Yes, and I have safely completed it.
**[16:30] Noah**
I see. Is His Majesty inside?
**[16:33] Naomi**
Um, Duke...
**[16:35] Naomi**
Might I ask you to wait a moment?
**[16:43] Noah**
Ah.
**[17:02] Naomi**
Your Majesty King Siathrich,
Naomi O'Brian is here.
**[17:10] Naomi**
Your Majesty!
**[17:16] Naomi**
Please wake up.
**[17:19] Siathrich**
Naomi... Why are you so insensitive?
**[17:23] Siathrich**
You could at least knock.
**[17:25] Naomi**
I did.
**[17:28] Siathrich**
I didn't hear it.
**[17:30] Naomi**
You've never once heard me
knocking on your door.
**[17:35] Siathrich**
Really?
**[17:36] Naomi**
Perhaps it would be a good idea
to have your hearing checked.
**[17:40] Siathrich**
A-Actually, maybe I do
remember hearing a knock...
**[17:44] Siathrich**
No, I heard it perfectly well!
**[17:47] Naomi**
I'm glad to hear that.
**[17:51] Siathrich**
Oh, right.
**[17:52] Siathrich**
That young lady I was
with told me an interesting rumor.
**[18:00] Siathrich**
She said that while I was
hovering between life and death,
**[18:02] Siathrich**
my dear little brother, Noah,
got engaged to a woman he absolutely loves.
**[18:09] Siathrich**
I believe her name was... Rally?
**[18:11] Naomi**
I think "hovering between life
and death" is an exaggeration.
**[18:14] Naomi**
And it's not "Rally."
**[18:16] Naomi**
It's Miss Raeliana of the McMillan family.
**[18:21] Naomi**
So even the current King of Chamus
discusses such things in bed?
**[18:29] Siathrich**
This is all out of love
for my little brother.
**[18:32] Keith**
Pardon me.
**[18:34] Keith**
Your Majesty, I see your
injuries have fully healed.
**[18:38] Siathrich**
Keith! Long time no see.
**[18:40] Siathrich**
And where's Noah?
**[18:42] Noah**
Right here.
**[18:43] Siathrich**
Oh, Noah! You were standing there?
**[18:47] Siathrich**
It seems like someone's missing.
That red-eyed...
**[18:51] Noah**
Sir Adam had business to attend
to and has not yet returned.
**[18:55] Siathrich**
Hmm... How unusual.
**[19:01] Siathrich**
Well, now that everyone is here,
**[19:03] Siathrich**
why don't we raise a toast for tomorrow?
**[19:07] Siathrich**
The current session is ending at last.
**[19:14] Siathrich**
Rejected bills can't be
proposed again for a few years.
**[19:18] Noah**
So we've averted the Nouveau Riche
Prevention Law for the time being?
**[19:23] Siathrich**
Which means there's no longer
any need to hide the royal seal.
**[19:28] Noah**
Regarding the horse that threw you...
**[19:31] Noah**
Stimulants were found in its system.
**[19:35] Siathrich**
I knew that horse was acting too strangely
for that accident to be a coincidence.
**[19:41] Noah**
Yes.
**[19:42] Noah**
It was orchestrated by Count Bennett
as part of a plan to assassinate you.
**[19:48] Siathrich**
Bennett, eh?
**[19:49] Siathrich**
No one would be happier
than him if I were to die.
**[19:54] Naomi**
Count Bennett would hang your corpse up
in the square and dance around it.
**[20:00] Naomi**
He'd probably sing, too.
**[20:02] Siathrich**
I don't know how you can so cheerfully
say such a terrifying thing.
**[20:08] Naomi**
You misunderstand, Your Majesty.
**[20:11] Siathrich**
Anyway, Noah, I hear you got engaged.
**[20:15] Siathrich**
I believe the lady's name was... Ralliana?
**[20:18] Naomi**
As I told you earlier,
her name is Raeliana McMillan.
**[20:24] Siathrich**
Right! Raeliana!
**[20:26] Siathrich**
What changed in your head
while I was in an analgesic-induced haze?
**[20:34] Noah**
Well, various things happened.
**[20:37] Noah**
The truth is...
**[20:44] Haley**
Pardon me.
**[20:50] Haley**
I'll leave this over here.
**[20:53] Raeliana**
Thanks, Haley.
**[20:55] Haley**
The autumn rains have passed.
**[20:58] Haley**
It will start to get truly cold soon.
**[21:01] Raeliana**
*Autumn rains?*
**[21:03] Raeliana**
*I feel like that might jog a memory.*
**[21:05] Raeliana**
*What was it?*
**[21:16] Raeliana**
* "The session ends at last.*
* What will come of the royal seal?"*
**[21:21] Raeliana**
*Don't tell me...*
**[21:24] Haley**
My lady?
**[21:27] Raeliana**
*How could I have forgotten?!*
**[21:37] Raeliana**
*The day before the session's end,*
**[21:39] Raeliana**
*at the Wynknight family grave...*
**[21:42] Raeliana**
*According to the novel, she should be there.*
**[21:47] Raeliana**
*The blonde, Beatrice!*
**[22:06] Siathrich**
Which means your engagement
will be called off now, right?

**[00:15] Raeliana**
* Robert Wynknight, who was supposed to*
* become a duke, died in an accident.*
**[00:22] Raeliana**
* The mother he left behind,*
* the mistress of the Wynknight household,*
**[00:27] Raeliana**
* granted the title to Noah, her nephew and*
* the second prince, before she departed,*
**[00:32] Raeliana**
*so Robert lies alone in the family grave.*
**[00:36] Raeliana**
*Noah buried the royal seal in that grave.*
**[00:40] Raeliana**
*And that's where Noah and Beatrice...*
**[00:48] Raeliana**
Beatrice!
**[02:21] Noah**
Our engagement... will be called off?
**[02:24] Siathrich**
Why wouldn't it be?
**[02:29] Siathrich**
The diet's session is formally closing,
**[02:31] Siathrich**
so she can no longer threaten you
with the royal seal.
**[02:38] Siathrich**
Your fiancée's personal issue
is resolved now, too, isn't it?
**[02:42] Siathrich**
What's the point in staying engaged?
**[02:45] Siathrich**
You can just call it off, and it's over.
**[02:48] Siathrich**
You don't want to carry on
with a marriage by contract either, do you?
**[02:56] Noah**
I won't end our engagement yet.
**[02:58] Siathrich**
Huh?
**[03:00] Noah**
There's still something I need
Raeliana to do as my fiancée.
**[03:05] Siathrich**
Hmm...
**[03:07] Noah**
What?
**[03:08] Siathrich**
Really, you're so out of touch
when it comes to these things.
**[03:12] Noah**
What do you mean by that?
**[03:16] Raeliana**
Be—
**[03:20] Justin**
Do you have business with me?
**[03:34] Justin**
Are you all right?
**[03:36] Raeliana**
I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else.
**[03:41] Raeliana**
*It wasn't Beatrice.*
**[03:43] Raeliana**
* In the novel, on the day*
* before the end of the session,*
**[03:46] Raeliana**
* Beatrice was supposed to pay*
* a visit to this grave.*
**[03:50] Raeliana**
*But she's not here.*
**[03:53] Raeliana**
*Is she not able to come here anymore?*
**[03:56] Raeliana**
*If that's the case, is it because I...*
**[03:58] Raeliana**
*because I survived?*
**[04:01] Raeliana**
*Because I changed the story?*
**[04:05] Justin**
Please rest on this if you like.
**[04:13] Raeliana**
Thank you.
**[04:16] Raeliana**
I'm sorry about this.
**[04:18] Justin**
Please, help yourself.
**[04:20] Raeliana**
I will, thank you.
**[04:26] Raeliana**
Alcohol?
**[04:28] Justin**
I came to visit a friend's grave
for the first time in a while,
**[04:31] Justin**
and the grave was gone.
**[04:33] Justin**
Only the alcohol that I had brought
to drink with him remained.
**[04:41] Justin**
This must be the work of fate.
**[04:43] Justin**
Would you care to drink with me?
**[04:47] Raeliana**
* If I have just a little,*
* maybe it'll calm me down.*
**[04:51] Raeliana**
Who was your friend?
**[04:53] Justin**
His name was Robert Wynknight.
**[04:57] Raeliana**
*He's Robert's friend?*
**[04:59] Raeliana**
*Then the grave that disappeared...*
**[05:06] Raeliana**
*It's gone. Robert's grave is really...*
**[05:11] Raeliana**
*The seal... What about the seal?!*
**[05:15] Justin**
He was a good man,
**[05:17] Justin**
but he died before he could pay back
the money I lent him.
**[05:21] Raeliana**
A Wynknight had to borrow money?
**[05:23] Justin**
It's hard to believe, isn't it?
**[05:25] Justin**
Maybe I was actually
the one who borrowed it.
**[05:30] Raeliana**
* Why did the Wynknight*
* family grave suddenly vanish?*
**[05:34] Raeliana**
*And where is the royal seal now?*
**[05:37] Justin**
I asked the grave keeper earlier.
**[05:39] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[05:41] Justin**
Apparently, there was a grave robbery,
**[05:43] Justin**
so they moved all the graves to a location
where the Wynknights could manage them.
**[05:49] Raeliana**
A grave robbery?
**[05:51] Raeliana**
*That didn't happen in the novel.*
**[05:54] Raeliana**
*Is this my fault, too?*
**[05:56] Raeliana**
*Oh, I get it.*
**[05:58] Raeliana**
*The grave robbery is just an excuse.*
**[06:00] Raeliana**
*The real goal...*
**[06:02] Raeliana**
* was to change the location*
* of the royal seal by moving the grave site!*
**[06:08] (Flashback) Raeliana**
The grave of your cousin,
Robert Wynknight...
**[06:12] (Flashback) Raeliana**
is where it's buried, correct?
**[06:16] Raeliana**
*It really is all my fault.*
**[06:19] Justin**
Do you like the drink?
**[06:25] Raeliana**
Yes. It's very good.
**[06:29] Raeliana**
*What a strange man.*
**[06:31] Raeliana**
* We've only just met,*
* but it feels like I know him.*
**[06:35] Justin**
Was it your boyfriend?
**[06:36] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[06:38] Justin**
The person you mistook me for.
**[06:41] Justin**
Was it not your boyfriend?
**[06:44] Raeliana**
Oh...
**[06:50] Raeliana**
* He must think I'm some girl who's*
* hung up on her dead boyfriend!*
**[06:55] Raeliana**
* That's why he offered me*
* a drink to calm me down!*
**[06:59] Raeliana**
N-No, it wasn't anything like that.
**[07:03] Justin**
Then was it a family member, or a friend?
**[07:13] Raeliana**
Someone who was supposed to
come here didn't, because of me.
**[07:19] Raeliana**
And as a result, two people
who should have met each other... didn't.
**[07:25] Justin**
Have you been forced into
a political marriage
**[07:28] Justin**
with a man who was
already in a relationship?
**[07:31] Raeliana**
Huh? Well, uh... something like that.
**[07:35] Raeliana**
*He's not that far off, actually.*
**[07:38] Justin**
And the woman he's involved
with was supposed to be here today?
**[07:44] Raeliana**
Yes.
**[07:45] Justin**
So in other words,
you were trying to arrange
**[07:49] Justin**
a meeting between her
and the man you're marrying?
**[07:52] Raeliana**
Yes, but it didn't work out.
**[07:56] Justin**
Why?
**[07:58] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[07:59] Justin**
Why would you do such a thing?
**[08:03] Raeliana**
I just... feel like it's all my fault.
**[08:06] Raeliana**
It is, to be honest.
**[08:08] Justin**
If the two of them couldn't meet,
**[08:11] Justin**
doesn't it simply mean that's
all there was to their fate?
**[08:15] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[08:16] Justin**
I don't know what happened between you,
this man, and his girlfriend,
**[08:22] Justin**
but one's life is one's own responsibility.
**[08:26] Justin**
Wouldn't you agree?
**[08:29] Raeliana**
One's own responsibility...
**[08:32] Justin**
That means you ought to
live your life the way you see fit.
**[08:37] Justin**
Only you can take hold of your
own relationships and fate.
**[08:46] Fortuneteller**
*I see a short life in your future.*
**[08:49] Heika**
*I told you. It's the bird's fate.*
**[08:53] Raeliana**
* Well... I guess that's why I'm forging*
* my own path in this life, isn't it?*
**[09:02] Raeliana**
You're very convincing.
**[09:05] Justin**
Right? Love is a fleeting thing.
**[09:09] Justin**
There are kings who pledge eternal love,
**[09:12] Justin**
and then get a new queen ten times.
**[09:21] Raeliana**
* He has the most handsome face I've seen*
* besides Noah's since I came to this world.*
**[09:33] Justin**
Oh, dear. I've kept you here too long.
**[09:39] Justin**
Where do you live? I'll walk you home.
**[09:42] Raeliana**
Oh, no, that's all right.
**[09:44] Raeliana**
I have a horse, too... and...
**[09:47] Justin**
It would be inappropriate for an
unfamiliar man to bring you home, would it?
**[09:53] Raeliana**
Yes, unfortunately.
**[09:59] Raeliana**
Thank you for helping me.
**[10:01] Justin**
You're quite welcome.
**[10:18] Justin**
*A man who has such a lovely fiancée,*
**[10:20] Justin**
*but is seeing someone else...*
**[10:23] Justin**
* I don't know who he is,*
* but he sounds terribly indulgent.*
**[10:29] Justin**
* Come to think of it,*
* I never asked for her name.*
**[10:32] Justin**
* Oh, well. I'm sure I'll*
* never see her again.*
**[10:38] Noah**
I'll be back tomorrow after the diet meets.
**[10:41] Siathrich**
Sure.
**[10:42] Noah**
Please take care.
**[10:45] Siathrich**
Same to you.
**[10:49] Siathrich**
Take care... of your fiancée.
**[10:59] Siathrich**
Raeliana, eh?
**[11:07] Siathrich**
I'll have to meet her in person.
**[11:15] Noah**
*He really hasn't changed at all.*
**[11:18] Noah**
*He's seen through everything.*
**[11:29] Noah**
*That's why, back then...*
**[11:32] (Flashback) Noah**
My brother is...
**[11:36] (Flashback) NoahMom**
Everything is all right now.
**[11:38] (Flashback) NoahMom**
You don't need to worry about a thing.
**[11:59] Haley**
Welcome home, my lady.
**[12:01] Gideon**
Where have you been?
**[12:02] Gideon**
We've been so worried!
**[12:05] Raeliana**
I'm sorry. My horse was a bit...
**[12:15] Gideon**
Get the doctor!
**[12:16] Haley**
My lady!
**[12:22] Haley**
Here's a blanket!
**[12:23] Gideon**
A special cocktail that's
effective against colds!
**[12:26] Haley**
It's a bit chilly, isn't it?
I'll hold your hand!
**[12:34] Raeliana**
* I'm definitely a target*
* for pampering in this world.*
**[12:41] Raeliana**
*I suddenly feel so embarrassed.*
**[12:44] (Flashback) Justin**
They moved all the graves to a location
where the Wynknights could manage them.
**[12:49] Raeliana**
*Why didn't I think of that?*
**[12:52] Raeliana**
* Anyone could've had the idea*
* to just move the grave,*
**[12:57] Raeliana**
*especially Noah.*
**[13:02] Raeliana**
*I guess the story really has changed.*
**[13:07] Raeliana**
* It's clear why Beatrice*
* didn't come to the graveyard.*
**[13:12] Raeliana**
*Because Raeliana McMillan didn't die.*
**[13:16] Raeliana**
*But I really wanted to have faith.*
**[13:20] Raeliana**
* That graveyard is where Noah*
* and Beatrice first meet.*
**[13:26] Raeliana**
*I wanted to believe she'd still go there,*
**[13:28] Raeliana**
*even if I was still alive.*
**[13:33] Raeliana**
Is there nothing I can do anymore?
**[13:43] Raeliana**
* I've worked so hard because*
* I wanted to change my own fate.*
**[13:49] Raeliana**
* But it's not like I wanted to*
* change Noah and Beatrice's fate.*
**[13:54] Raeliana**
* Beatrice is the one who should*
* be living in the duke's mansion.*
**[13:59] Raeliana**
*Why am I the one living here?*
**[14:06] Raeliana**
I feel so cold...
**[14:07] Raeliana**
It's all because I went
out dressed too lightly.
**[14:10] (Flashback) Heika**
Raeliana, you have received my
blessing as the supreme pontiff.
**[14:16] (Flashback) Heika**
You won't have to worry
about any illnesses for at least a year.
**[14:20] Raeliana**
So much for what he said.
**[14:27] Raeliana**
* I feel so drained...*
* But I can't sleep here, can I?*
**[14:34] Noah**
Raeliana...
**[14:37] Raeliana**
Noah.
**[14:38] Noah**
I hear you went to play outside,
**[14:41] Noah**
unaware that it was winter,
and caught a cold?
**[14:44] Raeliana**
Who told you about that?
**[14:46] Noah**
Everyone.
**[14:47] Raeliana**
I wasn't just playing.
**[14:50] Noah**
What, then?
**[14:54] Raeliana**
I just wanted to—
**[14:57] Raeliana**
Huh?
**[14:59] Raeliana**
* I just wanted to introduce you*
* to the woman you were supposed to meet!*
**[15:05] Raeliana**
*Even though I'm your fiancée,*
**[15:07] Raeliana**
* I was trying to help you get*
* with another woman!*
**[15:11] Raeliana**
* No matter how I explained it,*
* it would sound insane!*
**[15:14] Noah**
What? Finish your sentence.
**[15:16] Raeliana**
Oh... Uh, I'm sorry.
**[15:18] Raeliana**
I was just playing.
**[15:20] Noah**
Medicine?
**[15:21] Raeliana**
I took some.
**[15:29] Raeliana**
Wha—
**[15:31] Noah**
I smell alcohol.
**[15:33] Raeliana**
I-I had that, too.
**[15:34] Noah**
Alcohol?
**[15:36] Raeliana**
A cocktail that's supposed to
be good for colds.
**[15:38] (Flashback) Gideon**
It's very effective!
**[15:40] Noah**
Ah, Gideon's special cocktail, eh?
**[15:43] Raeliana**
*I had a little while I was out, too.*
**[15:47] Noah**
And that's why you can't move?
**[15:50] Raeliana**
Well, yeah, that's pretty much it.
**[15:54] Noah**
That's *exactly* it.
**[16:03] Raeliana**
Uh... W-Wait a minute...
**[16:07] Noah**
Don't worry yourself over silly things.
**[16:10] Noah**
The knight in the novel you were reading
**[16:12] Noah**
carried the princess this way, didn't he?
**[16:15] Raeliana**
N-Nobuddy shed anyhing about...
**[16:18] Noah**
If your speech is that slurred,
you must be quite drunk.
**[16:23] Noah**
Don't vomit now.
**[16:24] Raeliana**
Wh-Who's gunna vomid?!
**[16:25] Raeliana**
I never vomided b'fore!
**[16:28] Raeliana**
When d'you think I did?!
**[16:29] Raeliana**
That time wuz all your fault!
**[16:31] Noah**
Yes, yes, I know.
**[16:35] Raeliana**
* Wh-What's wrong with me?*
* Was it the drinking?*
**[16:39] Raeliana**
* It must have been Noah*
* who moved the grave site,*
**[16:42] Raeliana**
*which means...*
**[16:44] Raeliana**
* my bargaining chip has been*
* meaningless all this time.*
**[16:49] Raeliana**
*So... why hasn't he nullified our contract,*
**[16:53] Raeliana**
*or our engagement?*
**[17:18] Raeliana**
It doesn't make sense.
**[17:20] Noah**
What doesn't?
**[17:22] Raeliana**
You're always so mean and irritating,
**[17:26] Raeliana**
and you wear a mask over your heart.
**[17:29] Noah**
Doesn't the same go for you?
**[17:31] Raeliana**
And yet...
**[17:34] Raeliana**
Lately, I feel like you've been kind.
**[17:40] Raeliana**
Is that weird?
**[17:41] Noah**
I didn't realize you
felt that way about me.
**[17:46] Raeliana**
Only occasionally, though.
**[17:52] Raeliana**
We're going to break up, aren't we?
**[17:58] Raeliana**
There's no reason to continue
the contract, right?
**[18:02] Raeliana**
So why...
**[18:10] Noah**
Go to sleep. Your fever is high.
**[18:16] Raeliana**
I'm not finished talking.
**[18:21] Noah**
What is it?
**[18:23] Raeliana**
Recently, for some reason...
**[18:26] Raeliana**
I can't help wondering about you.
**[18:30] Raeliana**
And it's not about how useful you are.
**[18:34] Raeliana**
Noah...
**[18:38] Raeliana**
One's own relationships
and fate... are one's own...
**[18:46] Raeliana**
*It's no use.*
**[18:48] Raeliana**
*I'm at my limit. I'm falling asleep.*
**[18:52] Noah**
Shall I cure this cold for you?
**[18:59] Raeliana**
How... would you...
**[19:04] Noah**
The best way is to give it to someone else.
**[19:13] Noah**
So you can blame this...
**[19:15] Noah**
on the cold.
**[20:36] Haley**
My lady, should you be
up and about already?
**[20:39] Raeliana**
Yes, my fever has gone down.
**[20:42] Raeliana**
I thought that would last
a lot longer, but it didn't!
**[20:46] Haley**
I'm glad to hear that.
**[20:48] Raeliana**
*The diet session is over.*
**[20:50] Raeliana**
* I shouldn't have been*
* alive to see this day.*
**[20:56] Raeliana**
*But I am alive,*
**[20:58] Raeliana**
* and I may have changed this story...*
* and the future of this world.*
**[21:16] Raeliana**
*But even so,*
**[21:18] Raeliana**
*there's no guarantee that I'll stay alive.*
**[21:21] Raeliana**
*Someone's after my life.*
**[21:39] Raeliana**
*I don't know where Beatrice is, either.*
**[21:48] Raeliana**
*And...*
**[21:51] Noah**
Do you feel better now?
**[21:57] Raeliana**
Y-Yes, thank you.
**[22:04] Noah**
I see.
**[22:07] Raeliana**
*Why did he pause like that?*
**[22:10] Raeliana**
*Wait, did I do something?*
**[22:13] Raeliana**
* I remember him taking me*
* to my room last night, but...*
**[22:18] Raeliana**
Noah...
**[22:19] Raeliana**
Was I, um...
**[22:23] Raeliana**
a nasty drunk or something?
**[22:27] Raeliana**
*What does that reaction mean?*
**[22:33] Raeliana**
Are you sick?
**[22:36] Noah**
No...
**[22:37] Raeliana**
Well, I've fully recovered! Bye!
**[22:44] Noah**
*Yes, I'm sure you have.*
**[22:50] Raeliana**
Take care!
