[00:08] Raeliana
    Who is it that wants me dead?
[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?
