01x12 - Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion

[bunniefuu]

Robert Wynknight, who was supposed to

become a duke, died in an accident.

The mother he left behind,

the mistress of the Wynknight household,

granted the title to Noah, her nephew and

the second prince, before she departed,

so Robert lies alone in the family grave.

Noah buried the royal seal in that grave.

And that's where Noah and Beatrice

Beatrice!

Our engagement will be called off?

Why wouldn't it be?

The diet's session is formally closing,

so she can no longer threaten you

with the royal seal.

Your fiancée's personal issue

is resolved now, too, isn't it?

What's the point in staying engaged?

You can just call it off, and it's over.

You don't want to carry on

with a marriage by contract either, do you?

I won't end our engagement yet.

Huh?

There's still something I need

Raeliana to do as my fiancée.

Hmm

What?

Really, you're so out of touch

when it comes to these things.

What do you mean by that?

Be—

Do you have business with me?

Are you all right?

I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else.

It wasn't Beatrice.

In the novel, on the day

before the end of the session,

Beatrice was supposed to pay

a visit to this grave.

But she's not here.

Is she not able to come here anymore?

If that's the case, is it because I

because I survived?

Because I changed the story?

Please rest on this if you like.

Thank you.

I'm sorry about this.

Please, help yourself.

I will, thank you.

Alcohol?

I came to visit a friend's grave

for the first time in a while,

and the grave was gone.

Only the alcohol that I had brought

to drink with him remained.

This must be the work of fate.

Would you care to drink with me?

If I have just a little,

maybe it'll calm me down.

Who was your friend?

His name was Robert Wynknight.

He's Robert's friend?

Then the grave that disappeared

It's gone. Robert's grave is really

The seal What about the seal?!

He was a good man,

but he died before he could pay back

the money I lent him.

A Wynknight had to borrow money?

It's hard to believe, isn't it?

Maybe I was actually

the one who borrowed it.

Why did the Wynknight

family grave suddenly vanish?

And where is the royal seal now?

I asked the grave keeper earlier.

Huh?

Apparently, there was a grave robbery,

so they moved all the graves to a location

where the Wynknights could manage them.

A grave robbery?

That didn't happen in the novel.

Is this my fault, too?

Oh, I get it.

The grave robbery is just an excuse.

The real goal

was to change the location

of the royal seal by moving the grave site!

The grave of your cousin,

Robert Wynknight

is where it's buried, correct?

It really is all my fault.

Do you like the drink?

Yes. It's very good.

What a strange man.

We've only just met,

but it feels like I know him.

Was it your boyfriend?

Huh?

The person you mistook me for.

Was it not your boyfriend?

Oh

He must think I'm some girl who's

hung up on her dead boyfriend!

That's why he offered me

a drink to calm me down!

N-No, it wasn't anything like that.

Then was it a family member, or a friend?

Someone who was supposed to

come here didn't, because of me.

And as a result, two people

who should have met each other didn't.

Have you been forced into

a political marriage

with a man who was

already in a relationship?

Huh? Well, uh something like that.

He's not that far off, actually.

And the woman he's involved

with was supposed to be here today?

Yes.

So in other words,

you were trying to arrange

a meeting between her

and the man you're marrying?

Yes, but it didn't work out.

Why?

Huh?

Why would you do such a thing?

I just feel like it's all my fault.

It is, to be honest.

If the two of them couldn't meet,

doesn't it simply mean that's

all there was to their fate?

Huh?

I don't know what happened between you,

this man, and his girlfriend,

but one's life is one's own responsibility.

Wouldn't you agree?

One's own responsibility

That means you ought to

live your life the way you see fit.

Only you can take hold of your

own relationships and fate.

I see a short life in your future.

I told you. It's the bird's fate.

Well I guess that's why I'm forging

my own path in this life, isn't it?

You're very convincing.

Right? Love is a fleeting thing.

There are kings who pledge eternal love,

and then get a new queen ten times.

He has the most handsome face I've seen

besides Noah's since I came to this world.

Oh, dear. I've kept you here too long.

Where do you live? I'll walk you home.

Oh, no, that's all right.

I have a horse, too and

It would be inappropriate for an

unfamiliar man to bring you home, would it?

Yes, unfortunately.

Thank you for helping me.

You're quite welcome.

A man who has such a lovely fiancée,

but is seeing someone else

I don't know who he is,

but he sounds terribly indulgent.

Come to think of it,

I never asked for her name.

Oh, well. I'm sure I'll

never see her again.

I'll be back tomorrow after the diet meets.

Sure.

Please take care.

Same to you.

Take care of your fiancée.

Raeliana, eh?

I'll have to meet her in person.

He really hasn't changed at all.

He's seen through everything.

That's why, back then

My brother is

Everything is all right now.

You don't need to worry about a thing.

Welcome home, my lady.

Where have you been?

We've been so worried!

I'm sorry. My horse was a bit

Get the doctor!

My lady!

Here's a blanket!

A special c*ck that's

effective against colds!

It's a bit chilly, isn't it?

I'll hold your hand!

I'm definitely a target

for pampering in this world.

I suddenly feel so embarrassed.

They moved all the graves to a location

where the Wynknights could manage them.

Why didn't I think of that?

Anyone could've had the idea

to just move the grave,

especially Noah.

I guess the story really has changed.

It's clear why Beatrice

didn't come to the graveyard.

Because Raeliana McMillan didn't die.

But I really wanted to have faith.

That graveyard is where Noah

and Beatrice first meet.

I wanted to believe she'd still go there,

even if I was still alive.

Is there nothing I can do anymore?

I've worked so hard because

I wanted to change my own fate.

But it's not like I wanted to

change Noah and Beatrice's fate.

Beatrice is the one who should

be living in the duke's mansion.

Why am I the one living here?

I feel so cold

It's all because I went

out dressed too lightly.

Raeliana, you have received my

blessing as the supreme pontiff.

You won't have to worry

about any illnesses for at least a year.

So much for what he said.

I feel so drained

But I can't sleep here, can I?

Raeliana

Noah.

I hear you went to play outside,

unaware that it was winter,

and caught a cold?

Who told you about that?

Everyone.

I wasn't just playing.

What, then?

I just wanted to—

Huh?

I just wanted to introduce you

to the woman you were supposed to meet!

Even though I'm your fiancée,

I was trying to help you get

with another woman!

No matter how I explained it,

it would sound insane!

What? Finish your sentence.

Oh Uh, I'm sorry.

I was just playing.

Medicine?

I took some.

Wha—

I smell alcohol.

I-I had that, too.

Alcohol?

A c*ck that's supposed to

be good for colds.

It's very effective!

Ah, Gideon's special c*ck, eh?

I had a little while I was out, too.

And that's why you can't move?

Well, yeah, that's pretty much it.

That's exactly it.

Uh W-Wait a minute

Don't worry yourself over silly things.

The knight in the novel you were reading

carried the princess this way, didn't he?

N-Nobuddy shed anyhing about

If your speech is that slurred,

you must be quite drunk.

Don't vomit now.

Wh-Who's gunna vomid?!

I never vomided b'fore!

When d'you think I did?!

That time wuz all your fault!

Yes, yes, I know.

Wh-What's wrong with me?

Was it the drinking?

It must have been Noah

who moved the grave site,

which means

my bargaining chip has been

meaningless all this time.

So why hasn't he nullified our contract,

or our engagement?

It doesn't make sense.

What doesn't?

You're always so mean and irritating,

and you wear a mask over your heart.

Doesn't the same go for you?

And yet

Lately, I feel like you've been kind.

Is that weird?

I didn't realize you

felt that way about me.

Only occasionally, though.

We're going to break up, aren't we?

There's no reason to continue

the contract, right?

So why

Go to sleep. Your fever is high.

I'm not finished talking.

What is it?

Recently, for some reason

I can't help wondering about you.

And it's not about how useful you are.

Noah

One's own relationships

and fate are one's own

It's no use.

I'm at my limit. I'm falling asleep.

Shall I cure this cold for you?

How would you

The best way is to give it to someone else.

So you can blame this

on the cold.

My lady, should you be

up and about already?

Yes, my fever has gone down.

I thought that would last

a lot longer, but it didn't!

I'm glad to hear that.

The diet session is over.

I shouldn't have been

alive to see this day.

But I am alive,

and I may have changed this story

and the future of this world.

But even so,

there's no guarantee that I'll stay alive.

Someone's after my life.

I don't know where Beatrice is, either.

And

Do you feel better now?

Y-Yes, thank you.

I see.

Why did he pause like that?

Wait, did I do something?

I remember him taking me

to my room last night, but

Noah

Was I, um

a nasty drunk or something?

What does that reaction mean?

Are you sick?

No

Well, I've fully recovered! Bye!

Yes, I'm sure you have.

Take care!
