7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy (2024) s01e07 Episode Script

A Lullaby Like the Beat of a Heart

1
Thank you so much.
You didn't blame Kamil and Elsie.
It's not something
you should be thanking me for.
Speaking of which,
I heard that you have decided
to take the initiative in the slums,
Your Highness Theodore.
It's because brother has asked me to.
Does that mean that the two of you
will be doing official work together?
Well, I suppose so.
So? You didn't come all the way here
just to say that, right?
Actually, I have a favor to ask you.
Huh?
It is necessary to do for your brother.
What should I do?
I don't get what my sister-in-law
is talking about.
I beg you, Your Highness Theodore.
Everything is ready.
Well, I'm off then.
Yes, Milady!
We have a personal letter
from the Coyolles Kingdom.
Come in.
Good day, Your Highness Arnold.
Thank you for taking time out
of your busy schedule to meet me.
What on earth do you want?
You look a bit nervous for someone
who came only to see your fiancée.
I have prepared a room
for Your Highness in the villa.
What?
If you are willing, I would be happy
to show you around.
And why are you so nervous
about all of this?
My maids have worked very hard, you know.
Don't you think this is like
a graduation exam?
However, I am confident that
we have created a wonderful room.
I thought you wanted
to live alone in that villa.
Of course not!
I want to live there with you,
Your Highness.
I see.
It seems you're up to something fun again.
Please don't say it like that!
Well, whatever.
I will take you up on that scheme.
You have put me in a good mood.
Huh? Good mood?
Let's go.
Thank you so much.
Here is Your Highness' bedroom.
How is it? Isn't this a wonderful room?
It's pretty impressive.
This villa has been abandoned
for many years.
I can't believe you've done so much
in just three weeks since you arrived.
Thank you so much!
You trained the recruits
from scratch, didn't you?
Yes.
If they have a skill handy,
they can live anywhere.
There is more to be gained.
A pride.
It creates a sense of pride
that you have accomplished your work
and have been recognized by others.
That pride may keep people alive.
You have a talent
for making others feel proud.
That's how your face looks
when I compliment you, huh?
You were trying to tease me, weren't you?
It was still a sincere compliment.
Too bad.
I am glad to hear your praise,
even if it is false.
This is the most sun-filled room
in the villa.
When you open the window,
the breeze feels nice.
Perfect for a nap, isn't it?
I don't go back to my bedroom
during the day.
This is next to your room, right?
That's right. It would be easier for the
guards in case something happened.
That goes for me too.
This way I can detect
your recklessness in advance.
I will not be doing that because I plan
to be lazing around from now on.
Maybe a little.
Silly.
You can do whatever you want,
but don't be as reckless
as you were the other day.
I'm sorry.
Speaking of which, do you remember
our talk at the evening party?
What?
About my request
for a practice session with you.
Maybe I should have a bout with you
sometime in the future.
I would love to do that!
We did talk about that, didn't we?
Could you please give me some guidance,
even if it's just once?
With the "special training methods"
of Your Highness and the Imperial Guards.
Why do you think it's special?
I've seen several training sessions
in this castle,
but only the Imperial Guards moved
in a distinctly different manner.
I get it.
Huh? Is that really okay?
I've promised you
that I'll do anything you want.
Thank you so much.
I'm really glad.
Glad?
As far as I can tell,
your swordsmanship is the most beautiful
and the strongest in the whole world.
"In the whole world," huh?
Of course it's just hyperbole!
There is nothing beautiful
about a technique designed to kill humans.
Your Highness.
I'm going to the training ground first.
Go change into something you can move in.
Do you always train this way?
Not necessarily,
because you can't get
out of the habit of odd things.
The reason you seal your limbs is to bring
the conditions closer to the battlefield,
to keep fighting even if you lose
a part of your body,
and that's what you're training for.
As usual, a great observation.
I can still swing my sword
even if my arm is shredded.
Even if my legs are shattered,
I will move forward.
Even if both of my eyes are crushed,
I will find a way
to cut the enemy until the end.
Doing so will lead to a path of survival.
I have heard that chivalry
demands nobility and beauty.
However, we must survive
no matter how bad the struggle is,
and kill our enemies in order to do so.
That's what you think,
isn't it, Your Highness?
I would have been no match for him.
Don't worry.
I'm not going to inflict even an injury
on the person I'm about to marry.
If I win, would you answer
one question about anything?
In exchange,
if I lose, I will grant you
whatever you wish.
Very well.
Then, I look forward
to fighting against you!
Begin!
The longer the fight lasts,
the worse my odds are.
I will make a frontal attack!
What's the matter? Is that all you've got?
My center of gravity is off.
I'm still reeling from the feeling
of having my left hand available.
When adjusting the center of gravity,
the distance changes.
I need to step up a notch!
You're too slow.
Don't try to use brute force.
Your feet are small.
Take advantage of your light weight.
You need to step it up.
One more step.
Not yet.
He's really strong!
In that short bout,
he accurately stated
what I need to improve on.
Look, Rishe just crossed swords
with His Highness for a few seconds.
Yeah, she's moving better
in the blink of an eye.
The next one is from above!
The same move His Highness made
at that time.
But even if I know it in my head,
my body can't keep up.
You said earlier that my sword
is the strongest, right?
However, that was a move by someone
who knows someone stronger than me.
You were thinking about him
while you were
crossing swords with me, weren't you?
I'm so envious.
I'm getting so jealous.
You jest.
As I said earlier,
the most powerful man I know
is you, Your Highness Arnold.
Right.
Five years later,
Your Highness is even more powerful,
cruel and overwhelming than he is now.
Come on.
Hold on a little longer.
Not yet!
That's quite a feat.
I was planning on
not taking a single step.
It seems you've put
a lot of constraints on yourself.
Apparently, I underestimated you too much.
Thank you for your guidance.
You will listen to anything I say, right?
Yes.
I will do anything you want
with no hesitation!
Well, then, spare me the afternoon
the day after tomorrow.
We'll go to the castle town.
To the castle town?
What are we going to do?
I'll tell you about it then.
What's wrong?
It's time to get up.
I will be here for a while longer,
so I hope you can return first.
Why?
To tell you the truth,
my arms and legs are shaking
from the practice we just had.
What?
It seems my body couldn't keep up.
So I'm going to take a breather
for a while.
Your Highness?
Since we're touching through gloves,
there's no problem, right?
Huh?
Huh? Wait, Your Highness…
Don't get upset or you'll fall.
-Well, this is just…
-You can't get up, right?
I can get up! So please put me down!
There's no way I can leave
my fiancée behind and return alone.
You have a point, but…
That reminds me,
what did you want to ask me?
Huh?
You said if you won, I'd have to answer
one question about anything, right?
You think I could ask that
under these circumstances?
You laughed!
I knew you'd enjoy seeing my reaction!
Who knows.
Then, when is your birthday?
The 28th day of the twelfth month.
You were born in winter, huh?
-And what are your hobbies?
-Nothing in particular.
-What are your favorite things?
-I haven't really thought much about it.
What type of woman do you prefer?
And what are you going to do
if you know that?
Lord Oliver.
Well, hello, Lady Rishe.
-Are you moving out of the office?
-Yes.
Thank you very much for the wonderful room
you prepared for His Highness!
Don't worry about it.
Speaking of, where is Your Highness?
Actually, he was not sleeping last night
because he led
an emergency night watch.
Huh?
I've asked him to take a nap,
but he's working right now,
and doesn't seem to want to go to sleep.
I beg you to sleep awhile, Your Highness.
Oliver said something unnecessary,
didn't he?
Pulling an all-nighter
isn't good for your body.
I can't sleep anyway.
There's all kinds of human presence
in the castle during the day.
I understand.
Let me put you to sleep,
Your Highness Arnold.
Huh?
Now, I will be by your side,
so please sleep peacefully.
Sometimes you start saying things
that don't make sense.
If I'm here,
I don't think you'll be distracted
by the presence in the distance.
That's true.
Well, please sleep now.
It seems you cannot sleep, huh?
May I come closer?
Please excuse me.
What is this supposed to mean?
It is a calming technique
that creates a simulated heartbeat.
I used to do this to milady
in my life as a maid.
If you do this with young children,
they will sleep better.
Children?
You're the only one
who would treat me like that.
If it bothers you, do what you want.
Hey…
You know…
I'm so sorry.
It tickles, doesn't it?
I probably should have worn gloves anyway.
If I had, I could have retaliated.
It is not necessarily okay
to touch me through a glove or cloth.
I'm just kidding.
His Highness is sincere,
or rather, strangely disciplined.
I, on the other hand…
Go ahead.
Do what?
I thought that was unfair.
If it pleases Your Highness,
you can touch me and get even with me--
Are you doing this on purpose?
Your Highness!
I'll spare you the payback
with that face of yours.
What…
Odd girl.
You're fine with us sleeping together,
but upset about our eyes being so close.
I just wanted to cast a spell.
Spell?
This castle is not a battlefield
but your home, Your Highness.
That's why I hope that you,
as much as possible, can sleep in peace.
Then stay here until I fall asleep.
It's much more comfortable
than an empty room.
I understand.
You awake?
Your Highness!
Why are you here, Your Highness Arnold?
You were the one
who climbed into the bed, remember?
Were you able to sleep?
That's the first thing you ask?
Anyway, I'm sorry to have bothered you.
But don't worry,
I'll be out of your room--
-Wait.
-Huh?
What…
Just keep quiet for a little while.
Come in.
What's the matter?
There were matters to report, but…
Were you taking a nap?
I see that Lady Rishe
has talked to you and that you are
comfortable in your new bedroom.
Just keep it brief.
I will listen from here.
I will do as you say.
Then, I shall return.
I hope you have a good rest.
You're being a little fussy.
-I get it already, just get out of here.
-All right.
Well, then, good night.
It's okay.
I know…
I know, but still…
Welcome back, Lady Rishe.
I'm back, Elsie.
You received a package
from the Aria Trading Company.
Thanks.
I'll be busy starting tomorrow!
The following is the 10-day training
schedule for you, the knight candidates.
I look forward to your growth!
Yes. sir!
