He's a man among men! 09:51.540 --> 09:56.000 No, I wouldn't lay hands on my fiancée before the marriage. 09:57.300 --> 09:59.970 Zeno, you'll regret that later. 09:59.970 --> 10:03.130 Your Highness, this may cause you so much trouble! 10:03.440 --> 10:06.930 It's such a happy event, but I can't bring myself to feel honest joy about it! 10:07.250 --> 10:11.440 And could you please stop saying things that invite further misunderstandings? 10:11.700 --> 10:15.730 Miss Bertia, just who has become pregnant with whose child? 10:15.730 --> 10:18.780 I-I just don't know what to do. 10:19.330 --> 10:20.650 Miss Bertia. 10:21.020 --> 10:23.240 Please tell me what has happened. 10:23.240 --> 10:27.150 If you don't, I won't know what I can do for you. 10:28.880 --> 10:32.020 M-My apologies.

I mean, it was a little too far to come by foot. 11:21.010 --> 11:25.590 Yes, well, it does take two hours to get here from Noches House by carriage. 11:25.900 --> 11:28.470 Don't say that. Please let me take you. 11:28.470 --> 11:31.570 Please don't turn me into a horrid man that just sends his fiancée 11:31.570 --> 11:33.850 away when she's come to see me... 11:33.850 --> 11:39.370 I-I'm happy you feel that way, but if I stay here with Your Highness any longer... 11:39.370 --> 11:41.740 I'll die of embarrassment. 11:43.470 --> 11:44.820 It's all right. 11:44.820 --> 11:48.950 Once it's just the two of us, I'll even give you your first kiss... 11:49.280 --> 11:50.470 Bertia. 11:51.500 --> 11:54.680 Myaaaa! 11:53.580 --> 11:58.030 Myaa? Why, Bertia, whenever did you become a cat? 11:58.030 --> 11:59.260 Your Highness. 11:59.260 --> 12:04.010 Her reactions were just so very amusi— adorable that I couldn't help myself. 12:04.010 --> 12:08.770 It was in no way revenge for causing me to lose my composure earlier. 12:08.770 --> 12:10.760 There he goes, the conniving prince. 12:11.180 --> 12:14.680 But, Bertia... Bertia, huh? 12:14.680 --> 12:16.540 Yes, I like it. 12:16.540 --> 12:18.740 From now on, that's what I'll call her. 12:19.820 --> 12:21.280 Six Months Later 12:20.560 --> 12:24.280 Welcome, and thank you for coming, Prince Cecil. 12:33.070 --> 12:35.780 This is the first time I've been in Bertia's room. 12:38.300 --> 12:42.770 Now that I think about it, Bertia often wears things of these colors. 12:42.770 --> 12:44.710 I wonder if they are favorite colors of hers. 12:44.960 --> 12:49.970 It can't be because they match my hair and eye color, can it? 12:50.690 --> 12:53.870 What is this? This restless feeling. 12:54.460 --> 12:57.610 Your Highness, regarding the matter of my little brother, Aneth... 12:57.610 --> 12:58.860 I'm terribly sorry! 12:59.120 --> 13:01.360 Bertia! Please raise your head! 13:01.360 --> 13:03.860 I don't understand why you're suddenly apologizing. 13:03.860 --> 13:06.370 Won't you please explain first? 13:06.880 --> 13:08.180 Your Highness... 13:09.820 --> 13:14.110 So, in the original scenario, as Marquis Noches's house has no heir, 13:14.430 --> 13:17.920 he adopts a son from the lowest branch of the family. 13:17.920 --> 13:21.870 However, since your mother survived the epidemic, an heir has been born, 13:22.160 --> 13:25.760 thus causing the scenario to collapse. Is that right? 13:25.760 --> 13:29.260 Originally, he should have been brought into our family by now, 13:29.600 --> 13:34.260 and begun attending Halm Academy as Courtgain Deles Noches. 13:34.640 --> 13:37.020 He would quickly begin to distinguish himself, 13:37.020 --> 13:39.770 and emerged as a candidate to become Your Highness's close aide. 13:40.180 --> 13:44.280 It would be difficult for an untitled family member to enter the academy. 13:44.650 --> 13:48.020 If he truly is an exceptional person, that would be a waste of talent. 13:48.020 --> 13:53.540 Avoiding a route where he and the heroine end up together is good. 13:53.540 --> 13:54.190 But... 13:55.310 --> 13:59.580 Before, you said that it was I who ends up with the heroine, didn't you? 13:59.580 --> 14:02.290 What? There are a number of capture targets, 14:02.290 --> 14:05.710 and depending on the heroine's actions, the person she ends up with changes. 14:05.710 --> 14:07.720 Didn't I mention that? 14:07.720 --> 14:11.630 Why would you forget to mention something so important? 14:11.630 --> 14:13.370 No, you didn't tell me that. 14:13.370 --> 14:15.890 In that case, there's no need to break off our engagement, is there? 14:15.890 --> 14:18.430 Someone else can become the heroine's partner. 14:18.430 --> 14:21.900 N-No, that can't happen! If it does, then Your Highness will— 14:23.730 --> 14:24.890 Bertia? 14:24.890 --> 14:27.000 I-It's nothing! 14:27.000 --> 14:30.810 In any case, I must make sure that Your Highness and the heroine end up together. 14:30.810 --> 14:34.750 Ah, she is trying her very hardest to gloss over something, isn't she? 14:34.750 --> 14:38.570 So, these... capture targets. Who else is there? 14:39.460 --> 14:42.920 Everyone who is a candidate to become Your Highness's close aide. 14:42.920 --> 14:45.130 If I were to name them all... 14:45.130 --> 14:46.960 Lord Vald Nohkins. 14:46.960 --> 14:48.720 Lord Charles Laonel. 14:47.810 --> 14:51.650 There's no way for her to know the names of the candidates to become my aide. 14:48.720 --> 14:50.210 Lord Nelt Krum. 14:50.210 --> 14:54.100 The second prince, Shawn Turquoin Alphasta. 14:51.650 --> 14:54.670 I mustn't underestimate these memories from her previous life. 14:54.670 --> 14:58.680 In this matter, the scenario should generate a compelling force so that, 14:58.680 --> 15:03.360 when the time comes, an event will trigger and draw them all to the heroine! 15:03.620 --> 15:09.740 But if that same force is trying to have Courtgain adopted into our family, 15:09.740 --> 15:14.750 then I can only imagine that some disaster will befall my brother, Aneth. 15:14.750 --> 15:17.340 I've been so afraid of that this whole time. 15:17.950 --> 15:21.590 I see. So that's the source of her anxiety. 15:21.980 --> 15:23.630 How very like Bertia. 15:24.000 --> 15:29.750 Basically, this person named Courtgain merely needs to attend Halm Academy 15:29.750 --> 15:32.360 and become a candidate to be my aide. Is that right? 15:32.360 --> 15:35.880 What? Um... I think that's probably the case. 15:35.880 --> 15:39.130 Really? In that case, I have a good idea. 15:39.130 --> 15:41.590 Will you leave the rest to me? 15:46.690 --> 15:50.400 Courtgain Deles Mardan 15:47.460 --> 15:50.410 Why don't you use your heads a little, you fools?! 15:50.410 --> 15:54.060 That's why you poor people never get wealthier no matter how much time passes! 15:54.060 --> 15:54.780 Honestly! 15:54.780 --> 15:56.190 We never asked for your help! 15:59.020 --> 16:00.250 I'm home. 16:00.800 --> 16:03.390 Hello. Pardon the intrusion. 16:03.390 --> 16:07.620 I am Cecil Glo Alphasta. I'm here because I wanted to speak with you. 16:09.750 --> 16:11.570 Y-Your Royal Highness! 16:11.570 --> 16:13.590 There's no need for such formalities. 16:13.940 --> 16:16.210 For now, will you please have a seat? 16:16.210 --> 16:17.180 Y-Yes. 16:17.980 --> 16:18.920 Now then... 16:18.920 --> 16:24.510 lately, the people of these lands have been complaining about their local lord. 16:24.510 --> 16:29.150 As you are Bertia's distant relative, I thought I'd come and ask you about it. 16:29.470 --> 16:32.360 You took the trouble to come here yourself, Your Highness? 16:32.360 --> 16:36.660 As a member of the royal family, we must listen to the people's voices. 16:36.660 --> 16:38.320 My father is always telling me that. 16:38.590 --> 16:42.580 I'm not lying. I'm simply not telling the truth. 16:42.900 --> 16:46.950 So, from your perspective, what kind of person is the local lord? 16:46.950 --> 16:48.330 Well... 16:48.910 --> 16:51.490 He has a very logical way of thinking. 16:51.490 --> 16:54.460 For the most part, I think he is a person worthy of respect. 16:54.460 --> 16:56.650 Really? How unexpected. 16:56.650 --> 17:00.050 It's just... he has an irredeemably horrible way of expressing himself.. 17:00.320 --> 17:04.050 I believe that's the reason he garners unnecessary ill feelings. 17:04.050 --> 17:05.020 By which you mean? 17:05.020 --> 17:07.680 Earlier, in order to fulfill their taxes, 17:07.680 --> 17:11.310 some villagers had harvested crops that weren't fully grown yet. 17:11.310 --> 17:13.760 His lordship scolded them about it. 17:13.760 --> 17:18.430 Those crops would have more than doubled in volume if left for another two weeks. 17:15.820 --> 17:21.700 Two Weeks Later 17:18.430 --> 17:20.700 If they'd have come to him for help, he'd have accommodated them, 17:20.700 --> 17:23.470 and the farmers' lives would have become more abundant. 17:23.470 --> 17:26.620 What he told them was quite constructive, 17:26.620 --> 17:29.090 but unfortunately, because he speaks so roughly... 17:29.090 --> 17:31.430 Use your heads a little, you fools! 17:31.430 --> 17:32.770 Don't talk like you're better than me! 17:32.770 --> 17:33.910 What's the big deal? 17:33.910 --> 17:35.160 And that's how things turned out. 17:35.160 --> 17:36.250 Yeesh. 17:36.250 --> 17:40.170 His lordship is taking pains to make sure everyone experiences more abundance. 17:40.170 --> 17:44.180 I believe that no one understanding that is the biggest problem here. 17:44.480 --> 17:47.880 That generally coincides with the information my messenger gathered. 17:47.880 --> 17:51.360 He is able to clearly distinguish objective facts. 17:51.360 --> 17:53.030 You pass, Courtgain. 17:53.030 --> 17:54.040 What? 17:54.040 --> 17:56.200 As I have high hopes for you, I have a request to make. 17:56.200 --> 17:57.480 A request for me? 17:57.480 --> 18:01.480 A certain source has brought rumors of illicit dealings among the nobility. 18:01.790 --> 18:05.870 I want you to be adopted into a noble house and work as my informant. 18:06.720 --> 18:08.570 If the marquis's house is no longer an option, 18:08.570 --> 18:11.150 then I merely need to have him adopted by some other house. 18:11.150 --> 18:13.860 It will help the marquis in his spying, 18:13.860 --> 18:15.720 and the scenario will not collapse. 18:15.950 --> 18:19.130 Of course, in return, I will provide assistance, 18:19.130 --> 18:21.850 but you will be in a position of great danger. 18:22.460 --> 18:23.570 What do you think? 18:28.550 --> 18:30.100 I had given up. 18:30.730 --> 18:33.490 I thought I'd live the rest of my life like this. 18:33.800 --> 18:38.730 I never imagined that you'd choose a non-noble from one of the lowest houses. 18:39.180 --> 18:43.200 I, Courtgain Deles Mardan, will repay this debt of gratitude, 18:43.200 --> 18:45.270 and I swear my lifelong loyalty to Your Highness. 18:45.720 --> 18:48.300 I shall serve you will all my heart. 18:50.070 --> 18:51.630 And so... 18:51.890 --> 18:56.050 Courtgain will be attending Halm Academy, just as the scenario dictates. 18:56.390 --> 18:58.460 Thank you, Your Highness! 18:58.460 --> 19:02.410 It seems that Father is on better terms with the villainous nobles than ever! 19:02.410 --> 19:03.600 That's the important thing! 19:03.820 --> 19:06.730 Though the truth is, he's acting as a spy. 19:06.730 --> 19:10.140 Now, if we can just avoid a reverse harem, everything will be perfect! 19:10.140 --> 19:11.890 Reverse\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHarem? 19:10.140 --> 19:11.890 Reverse\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHarem? 19:10.480 --> 19:11.880 Reverse harem? 19:11.880 --> 19:16.360 A reverse harem is when one woman has multiple men serv— 19:11.890 --> 19:18.860 Example of a Reverse Harem 19:11.890 --> 19:18.860 Example of a Reverse Harem 19:16.360 --> 19:18.860 she's in love with, and loved by, at the same time. 19:18.860 --> 19:20.720 But that's unthinkable. 19:20.720 --> 19:24.530 If the queen has an affair, that in itself is a treasonous offense. 19:24.870 --> 19:28.120 Even so, because you love her, you can't leave her, 19:28.120 --> 19:30.060 so you choose to share her instead. 19:30.060 --> 19:32.230 Such a route does exist. 19:32.230 --> 19:34.660 Looking proud when you say it doesn't change anything. 19:34.920 --> 19:37.770 An idiot who would shake the kingdom for a love affair? 19:37.770 --> 19:39.760 No such idiot exists amongst us. 19:40.680 --> 19:44.930 There's often some backstory that includes the use of charm magic, 19:44.930 --> 19:47.920 but there isn't any magic in this world. 19:47.920 --> 19:51.980 Oh. I think a light spirit might be able to achieve something similar. 19:51.980 --> 19:53.680 Yes, that's true. 19:53.680 --> 19:54.970 Wait. A spirit? 19:55.460 --> 19:57.400 They purify the wicked... 19:57.400 --> 19:59.490 and bestow a sense of euphoria on the righteous. 19:59.490 --> 20:00.850 The Light of Healing. 20:01.110 --> 20:06.360 Using that sense of euphoria, you might be able to draw people to you as if by magic. 20:06.360 --> 20:08.060 Wait just a moment, please! 20:08.060 --> 20:10.170 They exist?
