7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy (2024) s01e08 Episode Script

1
You're falling behind, Lucius.
Sir!
Please, Your Highness Theodore.
You're using me in the wrong way,
aren't you?
You want to be involved in the training
of knight candidates as a man?
I don't know if that's a good idea.
Why should I help you?
Did you not write a letter to me
the other day?
You wanted me to lend you a hand.
I did!
I did write it, but…
Is it really necessary
to go in there in the first place?
Why don't you get a knight to mentor you?
That would make them attentive,
and I would like
to be trained mercilessly.
Unbelievable. I can't believe that someone
wants to torment themselves.
I can't understand it.
Wait…
Your Highness?
Sure.
I shall help you,
my beautiful sister-in-law.
I will do my best to fulfill your wish.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
Well, because it sounds fun.
I don't think even my brother
could have predicted this.
That his own wife would dress as a man
and sneak into the Knight's Order.
I can't resist taking this chance
to surprise my brother!
It's not like I'm trying to surprise
His Highness Arnold, you know!
Well, you see,
I want to see any expression
on my brother's face, you know?
That's it for today. Dismissed!
Thank you very much!
This is the basic training of Galkhein.
You okay, Lucius?
Thanks for worrying me, Fritz.
A little rest will help.
I'll tag along too.
I'm all alone back at the inn anyway.
Inn?
I'm from Ceutena.
Have you heard of it?
It's a port town up north.
That's the city where
Coyolles' boat arrives, right?
Yeah, it's a good city.
If I hadn't admired that man,
I wouldn't strive to be a knight,
I'd live in that city
for the rest of my life.
That man?
Prince Arnold, you know!
The war hero.
The master of swordsmanship! He's so cool!
Yeah.
I want to be a great knight
like Prince Arnold too.
You there.
One should not refer to members
of the royal family like that.
Please address him as
His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince.
Sir!
It's good you get it. Raise your head.
You are Count Lawvine!
Lord Lawvine? Guardian of the North
and faithful retainer
of the Imperial House of Galkhein.
But three years later,
he was butchered as a "great sinner"
by His Highness Arnold,
who became the emperor.
Perhaps he noticed
that I'm disguised as a man.
Do you like chicken?
Huh?
Yes, sir! I like it!
I see.
You need to eat more.
By the looks of it,
you have less muscle mass
than the average man.
Yes sir!
Starting tomorrow,
I'll be instructing you as well.
-I hope we can work well together.
-Huh?
My Lord, it's almost time
for your audience with the Emperor.
Yeah, I'll be on my way.
Then, excuse me.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
I'm back, Elsie.
Welcome back.
Good morning, Your Highness Arnold.
Did you have a good night's sleep?
Yeah.
Your Highness?
Come to the rear west gate
tomorrow at 2:00 p.m.
Don't let the others spot you.
Should I dye my hair?
No, it's not necessary.
I understand.
Then, I'll come dressed up
to blend in with the city folks.
Lady Rishe.
Why were you and His Highness Arnold
whispering to each other?
Actually, I'm going to the city
with His Highness tomorrow.
And may I ask
what kind of business is that?
I'm sure it's some sort
of official business.
It's better to dress inconspicuously.
In a brown linen dress
and a simple gray robe.
Lady Rishe!
You can count on me!
Huh? On what?
I will definitely make you prettier
than anyone else, Lady Rishe.
Huh?
I think we've reached far enough.
You can take your hood off if you want.
Don't worry.
Not a single citizen in this country
knows your face.
You're right.
I know what you want to say!
I figured that today
you had official business!
If it's too simple, it'll stand out.
Knowing you, I expected you to come
in a linen dress and a simple robe.
Am I that easy to predict?
This must be your maid's doings.
There's nothing wrong
with the way you're dressed.
Is that true?
I'll be sure to give your maid
a compliment as well.
-Let's go.
-Huh?
Please wait for me!
The market!
It's a very common market, huh?
That's not true!
Those are Coquilto's famous grapes!
The rare saloof bird eggs!
By any chance, is that…
The market is not only a reflection
of the economic situation,
but also a reflection of the security
of the surrounding area.
A pocket watch!
Your Highness? It's…
You want to see the market, don't you?
Thank you so much!
Look at these fresh berries!
Here's Coyolles' specialty!
Freshly arrived in Ceutena on a boat!
I'll give you a discount, young lady!
Thank you for waiting.
Wait.
What is that unsettling thing?
It is a fruit from the Coyolles.
Despite its looks, it's nourishing
and good for your health.
Like I said, wait.
For what it's worth, its looks--
It's good for your health.
How is it?
I think it's sweeter than it appears.
It tastes so nourishing.
Well, you look so bitter.
It's time to move.
If we stay in one place,
Oliver's messenger will find us.
I thought we're here
on official business today.
The owner of this place
does not come to the castle.
Because of that,
we need to visit them here.
We've been waiting for you.
We hope that His Imperial Highness
the Crown Prince is in a good mood.
There's no need for greetings.
Raise your head.
We are pleased to meet you
for the first time.
I am the owner of this store.
My name is Michaela Laure Weilman.
Pleased to meet you.
I am Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
So beautiful.
We are a humble jeweler.
Lady Rishe, which of these stones
do you think are fakes?
Huh?
Try and answer that question, Rishe.
I don't know.
What a clear answer.
It is wonderful that
you can answer so honest--
And so, madam,
may I borrow some appraisal tools?
Huh?
They are all highly transparent
and delicately cut.
However…
All three stones are counterfeits.
I'm sorry to have underestimated you.
You are the first person
to ask for an appraisal tool.
That being said,
they are really beautiful.
I am sure that there are many people
who would love and cherish these stones
even if they know they are counterfeits.
You…
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Huh? No, it's not like it's something!
Our products are sold
only to a limited number of people.
I'd love to show you some of our items.
If you're convinced, then get something
that's exactly what she wants.
Yes. I will be happy
to arrange it for her.
What's this all about?
I thought I accompanied Your Highness
to fulfill your wishes.
I have only one wish for you.
Let me give you a ring.
Huh? A ring?
His Imperial Highness
is looking for a ring
for his bride to wear
at the marriage ceremony.
I will go and prepare it.
A ring? The bride?
What? Why?
In Galkhein, rings should not be required
for the marriage ceremony!
But rather…
How did you come to such a conclusion?
I didn't think you'd be honest
about your choice if I told you,
"I'll buy you a ring
and you can choose whatever you want."
You don't like the idea of someone
buying something for you, right?
The stones handled here are first-rate.
I am willing to pay
any amount of money for them.
However, Your Highness,
I think it's best not to spend too much--
If you make the ring here,
I can spend my money,
which I had no use for in the castle town.
It'll boost the economy.
I get it.
Then…
Please let me choose one!
With all my sincerity and utmost effort!
I guess a diamond is the way to go,
since it'll be worn
at the marriage ceremony.
Or an emerald that matches my eyes?
May I offer one piece of advice,
from an old woman's heart like mine?
I would appreciate it very much.
You will wear your favorite jewelry
and hold your head high.
A girl can get so much courage
just from that!
It's your own good-luck charm.
Pick something you genuinely love.
For instance,
what colors do you prefer, Lady Rishe?
My favorite color?
Like a frozen, crystal-clear sea
in a cold country,
such a color…
Do you have a stone
that has the same color as his eyes?
Huh?
Well, well. Oh, my!
No, it's not like that!
I didn't mean anything special by that!
Simply, as I said,
I like His Highness Arnold's eye color
and always think it's beautiful!
That's what you're always
thinking about, right?
Please wait a moment, milady.
I have something to recommend to you.
Wait a moment, madam!
Please forget about that one.
Wow! The beautiful sunset
is illuminating the castle!
Why did you choose the ring finger
on your left hand?
Huh?
You specified that finger
to measure the size of the ring.
I mean, it's kind of a stereotype.
It is customary in the country of my birth
to place a ring on the ring finger
of the left hand
during the marriage ceremony.
So, why did you get me a ring,
Your Highness?
Well, there's not much point
giving you a ring.
But…
You do a lot of hands-on work, don't you?
I just thought it would feel good
to see the jewelry I gave you
on that finger.
That's…
Then, I will show it to you first
when it is completed.
Yes.
I was just wondering if…
By the way, I heard that Lord Lawvine
is here to see you.
Whose guest is he?
I called him.
He's the perfect man
to teach the knight candidates.
Your Highness.
Who are you waiting for here?
That's quite an abrupt question.
Lord Lawvine is the one who is guarding
an important base in the north.
I can't imagine that you
would invite him here
just because you are training candidates.
What made you think
I was waiting for someone?
You've checked your pocket watch often,
and I thought you were concerned
about the time of your return.
But since coming here,
you haven't touched your watch.
Besides, this is a place
where we can monitor
people entering the capital
from the outside.
The other day, I received a letter from
the royal family of a certain country.
"I can't attend the marriage ceremony,
so I'm going to congratulate you
ahead of time." The letter said.
Before I could reply
that I didn't need it,
he sent me another one.
"I will leave without waiting
for an answer
because I want to congratulate you
as soon as possible."
The market was selling fruits
that had just arrived from Coyolles.
Was the sender of the letter
on the same boat?
Given the news from the scouts
and the time it'd take
for the wagons to travel…
Weitzner,
I want to protect this country.
Prince Kyle.
Kyle just had an audience
with my father, the emperor,
and was offered his permission to stay.
He must have
a particular goal in mind, right?
His Royal Highness,
Prince Kyle Morgan Cleverly
of Coyolles has arrived.
Congratulations on your engagement,
Your Highness Arnold.
I, Kyle Morgan Cleverly,
on behalf of my father,
the King of Coyolles,
come forward to congratulate you.
I would like to thank you
from the bottom of my heart
for coming all the way from so far.
There's a huge difference
in national power
between this country and Coyolles.
Coyolles is a wealthy producer
of gems, gold and silver, however…
Most of the year it's covered with snow,
and they have to rely on trade
with neighboring countries
for food and daily necessities.
And five years later,
it was destroyed in a war
started by His Highness Arnold.
-Rishe.
-Yes, Your Highness Arnold.
She is Rishe, the queen-to-be.
Pleased to meet you for the first time.
My name is Rishe Irmgard Weitzner.
It is a great pleasure to meet you.
I thought that you must be
a very beautiful princess,
being the consort of His Highness Arnold.
How could I imagine
that you would be this gorgeous?
You look like a beautiful goddess.
You are praising me too much,
Your Highness Kyle.
Rather than giving a formal greeting…
Prince Kyle is too pale!
It makes his white skin look even paler.
Did you find out anything?
I didn't get a clue.
They are all innocuous statements
and don't show any semblance of truth.
Huh? Then why did you have
that look on your face
like you could kill someone
just by looking at them?
Aside from that,
I hear Kyle is bringing in
some Coyolles scholars.
Huh?
You're looking much better, Kyle.
I don't think it's him.
If you want to hear what they have to say,
I'll make the arrangements.
That will make me happy!
In fact, there are some medicines
that I would like Prince Kyle to take
as I've heard that he has a weak body!
If the scholars are convinced,
there will be no need
to put a dose in his food!
I'm just kidding, you know!
It doesn't sound like a joke
coming from you.
For now, tomorrow is
the banquet of hospitality.
It's a hassle though.
All right. I will proceed
with the preparations.
So, we'll bring Kyle
and Lawvine face to face.
Whatever Kyle is up to,
it will be checked.
Hey, what's with the look?
No!
Lord Lawvine will be attending
tomorrow night's banquet. That means…
He will find out that I am Lucius!
