[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!
