7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy (2024) s01e12 Episode Script
The Most Beautiful Thing
1
I'll show you whatever you want to see.
If there is something you don't know,
I will teach you.
However, if you want to get there
on your own, I won't intervene.
I, for one, am very excited to see
what kind of scholar you will become!
Why do you care so much about me?
Maybe it's because
this is the only good thing
I could do in my life.
Doctor!
Hey, Rishe.
Please stand back!
He is a suspect who announced
that he will cause havoc
in the castle at 6:00 p.m.
They're right.
If you do that, you think His Highness
Arnold will hear about the gunpowder?
That's right.
It is an act
that involves innocent people!
Yeah, I know that.
Doctor!
I mean, the unveiling has to be this big.
I must take responsibility
for what I have produced.
Even if it brings misfortune
to someone else.
The same goes for my existence.
I'm sorry, Rishe.
You should not take the words
of a person like me seriously.
It was merely my whim
to take you as my pupil.
Sister-in-law!
I had asked the doctor before.
Does poison really not have the power
to make someone happy?
However, instead of asking…
I may be a temporary pupil
for you, Doctor.
But…
I can assure you…
that even poison can make someone happy.
As my alchemy teacher once said,
"The experiment will fail
if we can't consider
the existence of uncertainties."
No matter how much
of a genius alchemist you are,
there is no way that the result
will be as expected.
Because there is no way
you could have understood
that the uncertainty is me.
What are you saying?
That's…
Poison is not the only thing
you produce, Doctor.
Even if it may seem like something
that makes people unhappy to you,
if you use it in a different way,
it can have a different meaning.
What…
The colored flames.
Gunpowder blasted in the sky?
What in the world…
I used to look for an easy way
to identify the type of metal.
Then I remembered when someone
showed me the beautiful aurora.
When metal is put on fire,
it gives off a beautiful light.
You're right.
The color of the flame changes
when a different metal is lit up.
Yes.
However, that was not all!
If you look at it the other way,
we now have a way
to add color to the flame.
Whether you see
a small light in the darkness
as a torch of war or a firefly light,
each substance or event
has more than one meaning.
Both gunpowder and you, Doctor Michel.
There is no such thing as a being
that exists only to make someone unhappy!
Is this a gimmick of yours
to make me understand that?
Why are you going so far?
Because I am your pupil.
If you want to reject
the research of others,
you must show results to disprove it.
If you're an alchemist, that is.
I can't change Doctor's mind
without proof.
Therefore…
I will continue to preach
with all my might.
Please see it with your own eyes.
What you have created
has a value beyond your knowledge!
Even though I understand
the flame reaction
and how gunpowder works,
I never thought
it could be used in such a way.
You're brilliant, Rishe.
No, you are the brilliant one, Doctor.
I am sure there are other
wonderful uses for things
that you think are just poison.
After all,
you are the most gifted alchemist
in the world.
Is that so?
I could have produced…
the source of all that beauty.
All of them have been shot as planned.
Thank you so much.
It was really tough, you know.
Could you please give this to everyone?
What is this?
The number of explosives
and where to plant them
could be narrowed down
in this large capital
thanks to the experimental plan
I had seen in my third life.
All that's left is to find a place
that fits the criteria based on
the doctor's area of activity.
And thanks to everyone involved in this
for doing their job to perfection.
Your Highness' vassals
are truly outstanding.
Lord Lawvine!
As you ordered.
Thanks for your effort.
Michel Hévin,
you need to explain this matter to me.
Hold on, Lawvine.
I'll take custody of him.
-We cannot accept your request.
-What?
He is the one who declared
that he would create an incident
in this land ruled
by His Majesty the Emperor.
Even by your order,
Your Highness Theodore,
I cannot surrender him to you.
What's all the fuss, Lawvine?
Your Highness Arnold.
It was reported that someone
had made an untoward remark.
We thought it had something to do with
the huge fire that just rose into the sky,
so we were going to capture
and interrogate him.
I see.
-Your Highness Arnold, that was--
-Rishe!
There's no need.
The previous phenomenon was
nothing more than a demonstration of
Coyolles' new technology by its scholars.
Why is a Coyolles scholar showing off
his new technology in our country?
Our country will begin technological
cooperation with Coyolles in the future.
In return for giving military guidance
to Coyolles,
we will gain
their precision machining skills
and academic knowledge.
The fire that just went up
proves that Coyolles will bring previously
unknown technology to our country.
Do you understand?
Get back.
Sir.
Lord Lawvine.
I apologize for having lied
about my identity up to this point.
Michel, I'm glad you helped us
with the treaty,
but I'm very surprised!
Kyle.
There must have been
a less inconvenient way
to present the results of your research.
You're wrong.
If it's possible, I'd have taken my life--
Doctor Michel.
Now please be silent
and accept your scolding.
I'm sorry, Kyle.
I'm sorry, Rishe.
Michel?
I won't do it again.
Now I know for sure
that my theory was very wrong.
I promise you that I won't do it again.
Then I will arrange it that way.
Just so you know,
I'm not trying to show mercy.
It's obvious that he was up to no good.
But if we publicly treat him as a sinner,
my father, the Emperor,
will hear about it.
That's why I used your scheme.
Yes. Thank you very much.
I would be happy to discuss the details
about Doctor with you
and help you make a decision.
How auspicious.
I'm not going to let you complain
even if I kill him in secret
and throw him away.
Your Highness Arnold.
What?
As a matter of fact, it was Doctor Michel
who invented the pocket watch!
I believe that Doctor Michel's knowledge
is essential for the joint research
with Coyolles.
So, what do you think?
You…
By all accounts,
you were confident from the beginning
that you'd be able to persuade me.
No way! I was confident only to the point
that Your Highness would be
interested in Doctor, you know.
The people in the castle town
must have seen those fireworks too.
I thought public opinion
would be more supportive
of the alliance if they knew
it belonged to Coyolles.
You're right.
Yes!
Are those called fireworks?
Yes. That's what I named it.
I wanted you to see those fireworks,
Your Highness.
The gunpowder used in fireworks
has dangerous properties.
However, depending on how it is used,
it can also create
beautiful scenery that no one
has ever seen before.
Once you learn that,
I am sure you will open up
to many possibilities.
That's what I thought.
Right now, you may still think
that all of your power is for war.
But I'm sure one day…
This is a medicine
to make your return trip on the ship
more comfortable.
However, the taste is still bad.
It is nothing compared to
the agony of seasickness.
Lady Rishe.
Thank you very much.
It is because of your help
that Lord Arnold
made a treaty with our country.
You're wrong.
Coyolles' proven technical capabilities
and research support for academics,
all of this is a result
of your efforts, Prince Kyle.
I think your husband is way too forgiving.
No, Doctor.
You're asked to always
keep the best possible outcome in
a project that involves royalty, remember?
I think it is a substantial punishment
that no ordinary person can bear.
You're right.
I've never researched such a thing
as creating something great for the world,
but I'll do my best.
I wanted to apologize to you.
It was wrong of me to say,
"You're not cut out to be a queen."
You're good enough, I say.
But it's also true that it's a shame.
Do you have any regrets?
With a life as the bride of Arnold Hein?
What I want to know now is
about the man who will be my husband.
More than any research findings
or any principle.
I'll be leaving you for a while.
See you, my pupil.
Yes!
Doctor Michel seemed confused, you know.
He said you were way forgiving,
Your Highness Arnold.
It is better to make good use of it
than to make a fuss
about something that was never attempted.
That's all I'm saying.
Thank you so much.
Oh, and I have one more thing to report.
-Is it ready?
-Yes.
I have not yet opened it because I wanted
to see it with you, Your Highness.
-This must be beauti--
-Rishe.
You don't need to show me
that ring on you.
What do you mean, I don't need to show it?
Quite literally.
All I demand of you is that
you let me give you a ring.
That's all I ask of you.
I…
have no right to want that much from you.
You don't have to wear something
you don't like
just because it was a gift from me.
You are free to choose from
whatever you yourself like
without regard to anyone else's tastes.
No.
What?
When I took the measurements,
I chose the ring finger
of my left hand, right?
Yeah.
In my country, a ring is given
by the husband to the wife
on her ring finger
at the time of marriage.
Even I have a longing for such a ritual.
I want to wear this ring
at my wedding ceremony
and I will choose a dress
to match the ring!
You said I don't need to wear it,
but I will continue to use it
for all occasions!
Rishe…
I was resisting the urge
to put it on my finger right away!
So, Your Highness Arnold,
please put it on my finger.
I'm not wearing gloves right now.
It's okay,
even if you are not wearing any…
I really want to wear it right now.
So…
Please, Your Highness.
Rishe.
Can I touch you?
Yes.
Hey, don't hold your breath.
I'm not!
I just forget how to breathe.
He laughed!
Do you remember how to breathe now?
Barely.
Rishe.
It's done.
The same color as Your Highness' eyes.
I feel like I can do anything
just by wearing this ring.
Does it look good?
Yeah.
It feels better than I ever imagined.
Your Highness.
What is it?
I have more things to ask for.
Just say it.
I'll listen to anything you want now.
I would like to travel with you,
Your Highness.
-Travel?
-Yes.
A journey to see
various beautiful things in this world.
Not only fireflies and fireworks.
I want to go with you
to search for more things
that you can see
as wonderful and beautiful.
Thanks to you, there is one thing
I see as beautiful and wonderful.
Huh?
What is it?
Guess what?
I'll hold off on telling you
until you know what I'm talking about.
That's not fair!
Do you think an ordinary person
can decipher your riddle?
Ordinary people don't explode
unidentifiable chemicals
in the skies over their betrothed.
Well,
I don't really think
it's that hard a riddle.
Even the slightest change now…
We should be able to change the future
little by little through
this kind of interaction.
Together with His Highness Arnold,
I wish to see the beautiful world.
That's my main goal
of this time of my life.
I'll show you whatever you want to see.
If there is something you don't know,
I will teach you.
However, if you want to get there
on your own, I won't intervene.
I, for one, am very excited to see
what kind of scholar you will become!
