**[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?
