[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...
