7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy (2024) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Have you woken up, Lady Rishe?
I am Oliver, His Highness's aide.
Yes! Please wait a moment!
Thank you for waiting.
Sorry for the intrusion.
It was the only time
I could get out of the office, so…
You haven't had much rest, have you?
I am still better off.
His Highness Arnold
hasn't even taken a nap.
He was busy with work that had accumulated
during his visit to the Hermity.
I'm sorry about that.
It's fine.
His Highness, who said he had no intention
of getting married, has now found a wife.
Please feel free to look around
as much as you like.
Yes?
You've been watching me, haven't you?
My sincerest apologies!
As His Highness mentioned,
you have a keen eye.
I can tell you are truly concerned
about His Highness, Lord Oliver.
Have you been by his side for long?
It's been ten years.
If you are so devoted to him,
then you must know why he is marrying me.
That honestly surprised me as well.
However, it's the first time I've ever
seen His Highness looking so happy.
He can smile genuinely
in front of you, Lady Rishe.
It's like he's treating me like a toy.
He didn't deny it, huh?
We're going off topic.
His Highness has asked me to give you
a list of distinguished guests
to invite to the marriage ceremony.
Thank you so much.
Her Royal Highness
Princess Harriet of Siguel.
The Kingdom of Domana
is represented by Duke Jonal, huh?
And His Royal Highness
Prince Kyle of Coyolles.
And here are the attendees
for tomorrow's dinner party.
Dinner party?
Miss Diana, where should I put this?
I want you to line them up
just like I showed you yesterday.
-So--
-I'm kind of busy right now.
It's Rishe.
Can I have a moment of your time,
Your Highness?
Yes.
Your Highness Arnold, there is something
I'd like to ask you for.
You told me to think about it, right?
Just think about what you want.
I've just broken my agreement
not to lift a single finger on you.
Would you be so kind as to leave
the selection of the maids to me?
You can do whatever you want with that.
It seems Oliver did not tell you.
Today's dinner party is meaningless,
held to maintain the fact
that the Crown Prince
is looking for a marriage partner
from within the country as well.
Your Highness, to this country,
I may be a "Crown Princess held hostage."
However, I am not dishonored by that.
So please,
go ahead and show off your fiancée.
All right.
And now I've been permitted to touch you.
We both are touching through the gloves.
It's kind of a bigger party
than I thought it would be.
This is considered a small party.
Such is the standard of a great country.
Your Highness Arnold!
It is an honor to be invited here tonight.
Thank you for taking the time to visit us.
Your Highness, please tell my daughter
the story of your journey.
Unfortunately, I have nothing much to say.
However, it was a fortuitous trip.
I was able to find the woman
who would become my wife.
Become his wife?
His Highness is smiling!
He never even paid
any attention to us before!
Then, this beautiful
young lady over here is…
Curiosity, envy and ulterior motives.
It's nothing compared to having
an engagement broken off in public.
I am pleased to meet you
for the first time.
My name is Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
My wife has just arrived from another
country and has no one to lean on.
I hope you can assist her.
Why, of course!
For you to have said that…
You don't need to go out of your way
to agitate the other ladies.
It's better to show it right now.
What for?
That I will protect you no matter what.
Protect me?
He will protect me?
That Arnold Hein?
This man who killed me?
Rather, it is you, Your Highness,
who is the most dangerous.
What do you mean by that?
For starters, I don't think
I can compete with you in swordsmanship.
Maybe I should have a bout with you
sometime in the future.
I would love to do that, please!
I'd love to have the luxury
of a practice session with you!
You're going to give me
more than what I expected.
Maybe I can figure out how those
awesome sword-fighting techniques work.
You don't need to force yourself to dance.
Oh, my, if I may,
I'd like to have some fun too.
This closeness…
makes me recall that day.
Should I tease him a bit?
What will happen
if I try to take the lead?
Then, how about this?
He seems to want to say
that whatever I do is useless, huh?
Even though we're this close,
I don't feel like
I'm stepping into the gap.
Oh?
That reminds me, since a while ago…
No. Even from back then…
I will fall…
Wow, excellent!
The two of you are in perfect harmony.
It was as if we were watching
a sword dance.
Lady Rishe.
Your dance just now was so beautiful.
Thank you so much.
If you like, you can have this wine.
I shall have it.
The aroma of ground chili peppers.
I can't believe
they're playing with the food.
The wine has a somewhat pungent aroma.
It's very fascinating.
Are you dissatisfied
with the wine I brought you?
As expected,
it has a very stimulating taste.
I am very happy
to have received such a welcome!
Let us go!
It's spicy.
Spicy?
Your Highness.
It is a unique wine with chili peppers.
You could have just thrown that away.
No.
This wine has lost an opportunity
to be savored, so I should at least
drink it without leaving any leftovers.
Huh? What…
It is spicy.
I told you, did I not?
Now, I guess I've done
my justice to the wine.
Yes.
Thank you so much.
What were you thinking
in the middle of the dance?
Huh?
You were not thinking about me,
but somebody else, am I right?
There's no way I can say
that it was him from the future.
I was concerned about
Your Highness' health.
Aren't you…
injured right around here?
His left shoulder is just slightly
more sluggish than his right.
Just like that time.
It's an old wound.
It continues to the shoulder,
with a slight skin tear and scrape.
How awful.
It's really an old wound.
The wound is from a blade
that stabbed again and again
with the intent to kill him.
Only a few people know about this wound.
Nor was anyone else aware of it.
How can you have such a wound?
The night breeze is getting colder.
It's about time
to choose the maids, right?
Yeah.
But at this rate, I don't think
we're going to be chosen.
Are you girls still not done?
I'm sorry, Miss Diana!
Sorry.
The sheets from this morning weren't even
folded the way I had explained to you!
If you're like this, you'll never be
chosen as the Crown Princess's maids!
I will help you.
You again?
I don't know where you are from,
but I'm amazed you have the time
to help people.
You girls need to finish quickly!
Looks like the tablecloths for the villa
will be arriving today.
I'm sure we'll get a better evaluation
if we help with that!
We're going, Maya, Laura.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
It's because we have trouble
remembering things.
You have only been at the castle
for a short time, haven't you?
No one can do it correctly from the start.
It is not that Elsie and the others
are unfamiliar with laundry.
They're getting the job done,
but it's just taking too long.
Diana is right about that part.
But the cause is quite obvious.
Did you hear anything about Diana's life
before she came here?
I believe she is from
a wealthy family with several stores.
I've also heard that before.
But they got into debt
and had to part with everything.
Oh.
It looking sparkling.
Since when…
I wonder who cleaned it.
Come to think of it, that girl
who always interferes isn't here.
A cocky newcomer like that
deserves to be removed.
You're right.
If you're going to serve the
Crown Princess, you need to be polite.
It's exciting, right?
Yes.
What does the Crown Princess
look like, I wonder?
Lady Rishe has arrived.
My name is Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
I'm sorry.
I thought the best way to get
a true understanding of your situation
would be to talk to you as a fellow maid.
Then, I will call your names now.
Marguerite.
Elsie.
Nichole.
Rosa.
Hilde.
Amelia.
Those names called out
will become my maids.
Huh?
I look forward to working with you.
Now, those of you go to--
Why, Lady Rishe?
The only ones chosen are the newcomers!
We have more experience than them!
-You're being impudent.
-It's okay.
I certainly said some rude things!
But please, evaluate my abilities
as a maid!
Diana.
Yes?
You are to resign from your position
as a maid effective today.
Huh?
No way.
Say, Diana.
Do you recall what you struggled with
when you first came to the castle?
Were you able to do your job as well
as you do now from the beginning?
No, at first…
I had a hard time understanding
how to do it.
I couldn't remember things
just by hearing them once,
but all the seniors were busy.
They said, "We don't have time
to teach you, so just watch and learn."
And yet this is how I grew
to become a full-fledged maid!
In contrast to them!
You are right.
Indeed, you are very different from them
in some ways.
Huh?
That's your ability to read and write.
You were born into a merchant family and
had access to a high level of education,
but the average person rarely has access
to the same kind of education.
You write down what your seniors tell you,
and you can read it again.
But what if you can't?
I want you to line them up
just like I showed you yesterday.
So…
The sheets from this morning weren't even
folded the way I had explained to you!
My family went bankrupt,
I lost everything
and I had no one to back me up.
Even though I become a full-fledged maid…
And here I was thinking,
"Why can't you girls do it?"
It's because I never taught you
how to do it properly.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
I'm really sorry.
Lady Rishe, Miss Diana is excellent
and always hard-working.
So please, don't make her quit!
Thanks.
But I didn't deserve to be chosen.
Miss Diana…
I have a favor to ask you.
I would like to make this villa
a place of education for new maids.
I want them to learn to write
alongside learning the other skills.
If they learn to read, write and work,
it will be a weapon anywhere
and in any situation.
It'll come in handy
if you ever have to live another life.
Diana, I need you to help me create
those educational materials.
Me?
Even though I said some rude things?
Whatever it is?
Would you lend me your strength?
Yes, it's my pleasure.
I see.
Is it what you expected?
No way.
I knew she would do something.
It would be disrespectful
to your future wife
if you were too blatantly amused.
But I think I might enjoy it too.
What she will accomplish in our country?
Oliver.
Rishe is not a wife I brought in
for the royal family's national interests.
How about learning the letters
of cleaning tools first?
It's something they use every day,
so I think it's easy for them to feel
that what they've learned is useful.
Yes, I think it's a good idea.
Thank you so much.
Lady Rishe!
I really enjoy thinking about
how to teach everyone!
I'm glad to hear that.
Please excuse me.
Lady Rishe, it is time
for you to get ready.
Yes.
Then, if you'll excuse me.
I'm counting on you.
Miss Diana, can you teach me again
after dinner?
Well, of course.
Thank you so much.
Such a beautiful dress.
It's the most expensive one I have.
Can you help me tie my hair up
to match this dress?
Yes.
I heard that your guest is a merchant.
So do you really need
the most expensive dress?
Well…
It might be one of the materials
for now, so…
Materials?
After all, he was the one
who taught me
what it means to be a merchant.
With them on our side,
we'll have a lot more options
down the road.
At this time, Aria Trading Company
has just been established.
If it's a business meeting
with the Galkhein royal family,
they will want to seal the deal
no matter what it takes.
Would a little more flamboyance
make me look like a
"sucker who likes to shop"?
I'm sorry.
But I think this dress would look better
on you with your hair in a bun
and slicked back in a dignified manner.
Thank you, Elsie.
But this is the outfit
for the match today.
The match?
Your guest has arrived.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
I am Kaine Tully
from the Aria Trading Company.
