I thought you were only interested in combat, 02:30.100 --> 02:32.810 but the points you focused on are very standard for a boy. 02:33.080 --> 02:36.450 Well, of course! That supple muscle! 02:36.450 --> 02:39.440 For a noble's daughter, she seems to have trained quite a lot! 02:39.440 --> 02:42.670 Hey, now. No matter how lovely her proportions may be, 02:42.670 --> 02:47.440 a paragon of noble ladies like Miss Bertia wouldn't have trained very hard, right? 02:47.440 --> 02:48.830 I'm sorry, Charles. 02:49.500 --> 02:52.330 The truth is, Vald's right. 02:52.570 --> 02:55.960 Still, "a paragon of noble ladies," is she? 02:55.960 --> 03:00.090 His reaction when he learns of her true nature... I'm looking forward to it. 03:00.270 --> 03:02.100 Come to think of it, Courtgain, 03:02.100 --> 03:05.080 you were originally a part of the Noches family, weren't you? 03:05.080 --> 03:07.220 Haven't you ever met Miss Bertia before? 03:07.220 --> 03:10.710 My family was the lowest of the whole house. 03:10.230 --> 03:18.190 Courtgain Deles Mardan, now known as Courtgain Deles Vladir 03:10.710 --> 03:12.390 Miss Bertia is from the main family, 03:12.390 --> 03:14.740 so she isn't someone I would have much chance of meeting. 03:15.160 --> 03:18.190 Now, you're interfering with my work. Please don't speak to me. 03:18.190 --> 03:20.870 You're so cold, Courtgain. 03:21.140 --> 03:23.490 He's as diligent as ever. 03:23.490 --> 03:25.860 Though, he does seem a little too rigid to me sometimes. 03:25.860 --> 03:28.650 Your Highness, it's time. 03:28.650 --> 03:29.360 Right. 03:29.630 --> 03:33.260 I'm sorry, but I'll be excusing myself here. 03:33.820 --> 03:37.390 Oh! Could it be that you're off to see Miss Bertia? 03:37.670 --> 03:38.890 That's right. 03:38.890 --> 03:42.590 My adorable fiancée has enrolled here, so it's only natural, isn't it? 03:42.590 --> 03:43.830 Seriously? 03:43.830 --> 03:46.310 Aside from when Your Highness is acting amiable, 03:46.310 --> 03:49.550 you always look like you're not interested in other people! And now that prince is... 03:49.550 --> 03:54.050 That's not true at all. I am interested in people who seem entertaining. 03:54.310 --> 03:55.830 Yeah? 03:55.830 --> 04:00.270 It's the first time I've seen you act without being so calculated. 04:01.400 --> 04:04.120 I know! Why don't we all go? 04:04.410 --> 04:05.690 If we're going to pay our respects 04:05.690 --> 04:08.480 to someone so important to our dear master, Prince Cecil, 04:08.480 --> 04:10.190 then the sooner the better, right? 04:10.590 --> 04:13.700 In short, he wants to meet Bertia. 04:13.700 --> 04:16.700 I want to go with you too, Brother! 04:16.700 --> 04:20.970 That reminds me. Lately, people have been calling Shawn's smile an angel's smile. 04:21.230 --> 04:24.440 And they call mine a fallen angel's smile. 04:24.870 --> 04:26.070 I wonder why. 04:26.650 --> 04:29.050 Well, then. Let's all go together. 04:32.300 --> 04:33.340 Wait! 04:36.070 --> 04:38.260 Wait, you silly! Pii-chan! 04:44.410 --> 04:46.900 Please fly a little more slowly! 04:48.900 --> 04:52.020 Honestly. Now, you mustn't fly too far away. 04:55.970 --> 04:58.270 Courtgain. A moment. 04:58.270 --> 04:59.090 Of course. 04:59.090 --> 05:00.130 Take her and... 05:08.050 --> 05:09.480 Hello there, Bertia. 05:10.500 --> 05:12.550 Y-Y-Y-Your Highness?! 05:12.820 --> 05:14.940 There are quite distinguished individuals here... 05:14.940 --> 05:18.190 but the one who draws the eye the most is you, Kuro. 05:18.900 --> 05:21.180 In accordance with Bertia enrolling at the academy, 05:21.180 --> 05:24.800 I'm sure you meant to take on a form appropriate to staying at her side, but... 05:25.270 --> 05:29.950 Well, I suppose the fact that no one else can see her ears and tail helps. 05:30.300 --> 05:32.560 Your Highness, weren't you supposed to come later? 05:32.870 --> 05:34.860 And for the other capture targ— 05:35.520 --> 05:38.590 members of the student council to be here too, is just... 05:39.570 --> 05:41.410 What a strange thing to say. 05:41.410 --> 05:43.770 This is the time we arranged to meet, isn't it? 05:43.770 --> 05:45.620 No, but... 05:45.620 --> 05:47.680 It's been quite some time, hasn't it, Prince Cecil? 05:48.000 --> 05:50.810 Would it be permissible for me to say something? 05:50.810 --> 05:53.230 Miss Joanna. It has been a while, hasn't it? 05:53.230 --> 05:54.440 Go right ahead. 05:54.720 --> 06:00.940 Joanna Curtswarren 05:54.740 --> 05:58.240 She is Joanna Curtswarren, daughter of a duke. 05:58.240 --> 06:00.660 She and I are second cousins. 06:01.140 --> 06:05.430 Miss Bertia thought that Your Highness might be so busy that you wouldn't come. 06:05.430 --> 06:07.690 She was very worried about it. 06:07.690 --> 06:12.360 She seemed restless, looking around, then growing quite downcast. 06:12.360 --> 06:14.950 She was so very adorable in such a state. 06:14.950 --> 06:17.160 W-Wait, Lady Joanna! What are you saying? 06:17.160 --> 06:20.040 Oh, but it's the truth, isn't it? 06:20.040 --> 06:24.060 That isn't... not true, but... 06:24.060 --> 06:27.630 What is it, I wonder? I sense something similar to myself in her. 06:27.900 --> 06:30.000 More importantly, Your Highness! 06:30.000 --> 06:32.220 I've made a lot of friends! 06:32.420 --> 06:34.970 Or rather, minions! 06:35.210 --> 06:39.820 She used "minion" instead of "friend" to make it sound bad, didn't she? 06:39.820 --> 06:42.720 I'm sure she wanted to give it a flower-of-evil spin, but... 06:42.720 --> 06:47.230 Bertia, you shouldn't refer to your precious friends that way. 06:47.230 --> 06:50.690 Oh, but it isn't like that! This is... 06:52.120 --> 06:54.110 I'm sorry. 06:54.110 --> 06:57.870 Prince Cecil, please don't let it trouble you. 06:58.260 --> 07:02.030 We're all members of the Society for Adoring Lady Bertia. 06:58.330 --> 07:01.500 Society for Adoring Lady Bertia 07:01.790 --> 07:03.250 Silica Lunea 07:02.390 --> 07:05.930 In a sense, we are her minions. 07:03.580 --> 07:04.880 Cynthia Sornellis 07:05.130 --> 07:06.500 Anne Cogareth 07:06.500 --> 07:08.880 A society for adoring Bertia? 07:08.880 --> 07:13.110 It's an unofficial society. Something like a fan club. 07:13.110 --> 07:17.590 Our operational ideology is to watch over Lady Bertia as she flourishes and grows. 07:17.850 --> 07:20.900 Lady Bertia is extremely popular with all genders, after all. 07:20.900 --> 07:22.780 What? What do you mean? 07:22.780 --> 07:25.230 Oh. I see that she herself wasn't aware of that. 07:25.230 --> 07:28.520 Watching Lady Bertia is so healing, isn't it? 07:28.960 --> 07:32.900 In high society, there are so many people hiding secret machinations, after all. 07:33.270 --> 07:37.540 Lady Bertia's kindness shows through, so when I'm beside her, I feel at ease. 07:37.850 --> 07:40.380 And I simply can't leave her on her own. 07:40.380 --> 07:45.290 I must watch over the girl so that she grows up just as honest as she is now! 07:45.290 --> 07:48.680 That last bit sounds as if you see yourself as my mother! 07:48.680 --> 07:53.830 Oh, honestly! Please stop joking around and teasing me like this! 07:53.830 --> 07:55.040 Your Highness. 07:55.040 --> 07:58.100 Wouldn't this be a good time to present your congratulatory gift? 07:58.100 --> 08:00.010 Yes, you're right. 08:02.220 --> 08:04.920 Bertia, come with me for a moment. 08:11.450 --> 08:14.110 Bertia, congratulations on your enrollment. 08:14.110 --> 08:16.110 R-Roses? 08:20.290 --> 08:24.360 This means that you've completed the meet cute event, haven't you? 08:24.820 --> 08:28.080 Though, this color is a little different than it was in the game. 08:29.330 --> 08:34.010 Wait, now that I think about it... Aren't blue roses a legendary class item? 08:34.010 --> 08:36.290 And why a potted plant? 08:36.560 --> 08:38.410 You like this color, don't you? 08:38.410 --> 08:41.280 I only made them to give them to you as a present, 08:41.280 --> 08:43.640 so, in all the world, there is only this one pot of these roses. 08:43.640 --> 08:47.440 What? I couldn't possibly accept something so precious! 08:47.440 --> 08:51.760 I prepared them just for you. You don't like them? 08:51.760 --> 08:54.100 Th-That isn't it at all! 08:54.810 --> 08:57.570 There's a depth to it, just like... 08:58.000 --> 09:01.300 the beautiful color of Your Highness's eyes. 09:04.140 --> 09:05.700 That isn't what I meant! 09:05.700 --> 09:08.590 It's a pretty blue! That's why I like it! 09:09.050 --> 09:11.210 Yes, of course. 09:11.210 --> 09:13.220 I-It's the truth! 09:13.220 --> 09:16.800 Miss Bertia is... a little different than she appears. 09:16.800 --> 09:18.350 Yes, yes. 09:21.240 --> 09:26.680 The scenario has changed here and there, so I was worried about what might happen. 09:27.000 --> 09:29.960 But it seems that you've successfully completed the meet cute event, 09:29.960 --> 09:32.140 so, for now, I feel relieved. 09:32.140 --> 09:36.660 You mentioned it earlier, too. What is this "meet cute" event? 09:38.020 --> 09:40.210 Wh-What? 09:40.210 --> 09:41.960 On your way to the tea party, 09:41.960 --> 09:45.360 you came across a pretty girl frolicking with a white bird, didn't you? 09:45.360 --> 09:46.370 Oh. 09:46.370 --> 09:50.540 She was laughing in an oddly high voice and talking to a white bird. 09:50.540 --> 09:55.210 She seemed suspicious, so I told Courtgain to report her to a teacher. 09:55.740 --> 09:56.840 Suspicious?! 09:56.840 --> 10:01.820 She kept glancing at people in an impolite manner, so I found her quite irritating. 10:01.820 --> 10:03.130 Irritating?! 10:03.350 --> 10:06.130 Y-Your Highness, this is a dire matter! 10:06.130 --> 10:08.570 That person is the heroine in the game. 10:08.570 --> 10:11.780 She is Your Highness's Maiden of Destiny! 10:18.020 --> 10:20.490 As soon as Your Highness sees her, 10:20.490 --> 10:25.420 you take a red rose from the bouquet meant for me and give it to her. 10:25.420 --> 10:28.040 That's the meet cute event. 10:28.040 --> 10:30.350 And that's in the original scenario? 10:30.350 --> 10:35.050 What I gave you was a potted plant, so pulling out a single flower is impossible. 10:35.290 --> 10:37.610 Did you feel anything from her? 10:37.610 --> 10:42.610 Did seeing her frolic with a bird, so unlike other ladies, spark your interest? 10:42.610 --> 10:46.600 A young lady who appeared wearing a live fox wrapped around her neck 10:46.600 --> 10:48.720 had a far greater impact on me, I suppose. 10:50.930 --> 10:54.690 The meet cute event is in shambles. 10:56.180 --> 11:01.370 I was hoping to make you happy, but it seems I've troubled you instead. 11:01.370 --> 11:02.870 Not at all! 11:04.140 --> 11:06.860 It has all already happened, after all... 11:07.210 --> 11:11.210 so I can allow myself to feel just a little bit happy right now, can't I? 11:16.000 --> 11:18.250 Student Council Room 11:19.750 --> 11:22.250 Hello there. Thank you for coming. 11:23.130 --> 11:24.700 Miss Joanna. 11:25.490 --> 11:28.980 To receive an invitation from Your Highness and decline... 11:28.980 --> 11:32.740 No one at this academy would do such a thing. Naturally. 11:33.920 --> 11:35.560 Please, have a seat. 11:35.560 --> 11:37.230 Thank you. 11:37.230 --> 11:40.850 Seeing you at Bertia's tea party was quite unexpected. 11:40.850 --> 11:42.230 Was it? 11:42.730 --> 11:47.320 Since the moment I first met Lady Bertia, I've been completely charmed by her. 11:43.490 --> 11:47.330 Bertia drove off nobles who were hitting on Joanna. 11:47.590 --> 11:50.240 And Lady Bertia wrote... 11:50.240 --> 12:01.550 Royal Capital 11:50.240 --> 12:01.550 In season now! 11:50.240 --> 12:01.550 A Complete Collection of the Best Spots 11:50.240 --> 12:01.550 Churches 11:50.240 --> 12:01.550 Snacks 11:50.240 --> 12:01.550 Leisurely 11:50.240 --> 12:01.550 Walks 11:50.240 --> 11:54.380 In Season Now! A Complete Collection of the Best Spots in the Royal Capital, 11:54.380 --> 11:56.910 which was what caused some of our members to join our society. 11:56.910 --> 12:01.540 Ah, yes. That mysterious talent she showed in The Best Things About Being a Villain! 12:01.800 --> 12:04.140 The truth is that I've asked you here today 12:04.140 --> 12:06.670 because I wanted to ask you some questions. 12:06.990 --> 12:09.840 About the Society for Adoring Lady Bertia? 12:09.840 --> 12:14.390 It may be unofficial, but it seems to have become quite a large group. 12:14.390 --> 12:17.560 At present, are there any people within it who pose a high risk? 12:17.560 --> 12:22.530 Oh, dear. Your Highness has already investigated that, haven't you? 12:22.530 --> 12:26.780 To pry into a maiden's secrets is incredibly boorish. 12:27.050 --> 12:31.540 Yes, she seems far more like a villainess than Bertia does. 12:31.540 --> 12:32.990 I see. 12:32.990 --> 12:37.500 Then, shall I tell Shawn that you've been investigating him? 12:39.010 --> 12:44.500 Yes, indeed. The truth is that Miss Joanna adores my younger brother, Shawn. 12:45.010 --> 12:46.500 Oh, fine then! 12:46.500 --> 12:49.260 This is why I hate black-hearted schemers! 12:49.260 --> 12:51.390 I could say the same of you. 12:51.390 --> 12:56.120 I can't believe that you and that pure, adorable Prince Shawn are blood relatives! 12:56.120 --> 13:00.760 And on top of that, your fiancée is Lady Bertia, and she even loves you! 13:00.760 --> 13:01.990 Are you jealous? 13:03.670 --> 13:06.920 Jealous? I'm not jealous at... 13:06.920 --> 13:08.490 So, you are jealous. 13:08.490 --> 13:12.360 Your Highness, you must keep your teasing within reason, or else... 13:12.360 --> 13:13.620 Yes, you're right. 13:13.900 --> 13:18.990 Now, you will tell me about the dangerous elements you're aware of, won't you? 13:18.990 --> 13:21.450 Oh, very well. 13:21.870 --> 13:24.210 There are no issues with any of the society's members. 13:24.210 --> 13:27.800 I've train—instructed them quite thoroughly. 13:28.200 --> 13:32.050 However, there are some who envy Lady Bertia's popularity. 13:32.420 --> 13:34.220 So this is a blacklist. 13:35.060 --> 13:38.690 Heronia Inderon, baron's daughter 13:35.460 --> 13:38.690 Heronia Inderon, baron's daughter... 13:39.000 --> 13:39.940 Her? 13:40.450 --> 13:46.000 In broad terms, they are estimable ladies who either admire you, Your Highness... 13:46.000 --> 13:47.810 Ah, yes. That was quite pointed. 13:47.810 --> 13:52.480 or whose fiancés harbor affection for Lady Bertia. 13:52.480 --> 13:57.590 The gentlemen redirect their displeasure with you toward Lady Bertia. 13:57.590 --> 14:01.070 I see. It appears that there's likely to be some fun to come. 14:01.070 --> 14:04.760 How is this fun? Lady Bertia is in a dire predicament! 14:05.020 --> 14:07.570 I don't think of it as a predicament. 14:07.980 --> 14:10.500 Bertia has all of you beside her. 14:10.820 --> 14:12.740 You in particular, Miss Joanna. 14:12.740 --> 14:15.510 Your thought patterns resemble my own, 14:16.530 --> 14:18.760 so I feel able to relax and leave it to you. 14:21.270 --> 14:25.650 Well, I suppose I have no choice! She is my friend, after all. 14:25.650 --> 14:28.140 I will show you just how well I can protect her. 14:30.170 --> 14:32.280 Now, if you will excuse me. 14:34.880 --> 14:37.400 Heronia, baron's daughter... 14:37.830 --> 14:40.280 In order to protect herself from the Light of Healing, 14:40.760 --> 14:44.370 I've had Bertia study regarding Kuro's powers. 14:44.690 --> 14:48.170 Kuro's affinity is Dark, which excels at defense. 14:48.170 --> 14:51.710 I'm certain she'll offer skilled protection from the light spirit, 14:51.710 --> 14:55.280 but as long as the existence of spirits must be hidden from the general populace, 14:55.280 --> 14:59.170 she won't be able to use those powers openly against a human opponent. 14:59.630 --> 15:02.180 Now, what move do I make? 15:05.640 --> 15:09.860 Come, let's go, Zeno. It's time to meet Bertia. 15:09.860 --> 15:12.900 You'll be going to see the roses in the courtyard, won't you? 15:12.900 --> 15:14.020 That's right. 15:14.020 --> 15:18.120 It's rare that she invites me out for anything other than seeking my help. 15:18.120 --> 15:22.040 And her eyes shone especially brightly, so I'm quite excited. 15:22.040 --> 15:26.010 By the prospect of what chaos she may cause? 15:26.010 --> 15:27.530 You know me so well. 15:42.360 --> 15:45.700 In the spot where we agreed to meet, I see not my fiancée... 15:45.700 --> 15:48.510 but the heroine taking a nap. 15:49.140 --> 15:50.690 That's what you're trying to set up? 15:51.270 --> 15:52.760 Bertia? 15:53.490 --> 15:54.820 Bertia is Hiding 15:57.190 --> 16:00.230 I was able to spot her as soon as I arrived, though. 16:00.230 --> 16:01.080 Cough! 16:01.420 --> 16:03.280 Cough, cough! 16:03.530 --> 16:05.320 Cough, cough! 16:04.460 --> 16:06.580 A bizarre triangle has been created. 16:05.800 --> 16:10.570 Cough! Cough! Hack! Cough! 16:06.580 --> 16:08.580 Perhaps I'll read a book. 16:11.540 --> 16:13.520 I-It's a hairy caterpillar! 16:13.520 --> 16:16.470 Someone, please get it off! 16:16.470 --> 16:19.320 What an unexpected way to make her appearance. 16:20.350 --> 16:22.140 It's all right now. 16:22.140 --> 16:25.470 I've driven off the bad bug that dared to frighten you. 16:25.470 --> 16:28.210 Your Highness! Thank you so much! 16:28.210 --> 16:29.360 You're quite welcome. 16:29.800 --> 16:32.870 Now, are you finished playing hide and seek? 16:32.870 --> 16:35.100 Wh-Whatever do you mean? 16:35.100 --> 16:38.950 Cough! Hack, hack. 16:37.750 --> 16:39.790 Perhaps I got the wrong idea. 16:38.950 --> 16:40.380 Achoo! 16:39.790 --> 16:42.450 Well, shall we begin our stroll? 16:40.380 --> 16:45.920 Cough! Cough, hack. Cough! 16:42.780 --> 16:45.910 No, um, well... 16:47.580 --> 16:50.120 Oh, I just can't seem to wake up! 16:50.120 --> 16:55.720 I wonder if perhaps a prince might appear to wake me! 16:55.720 --> 16:58.930 Your Highness, shouldn't you go and wake the heroine? 16:58.930 --> 17:03.550 It's rare for you to invite me on a date. I've been greatly looking forward to it! 16:59.600 --> 17:03.550 I'm sleeping! Sleeping so soundly! 17:03.550 --> 17:05.660 Sleep, sleep, sleep! 17:03.810 --> 17:06.470 After we've seen the roses, why don't we take some tea together? 17:05.660 --> 17:07.100 Hey! 17:06.690 --> 17:09.640 I've obtained some delicious imported sweets. 17:08.050 --> 17:09.640 Sleep, sleep! 17:09.640 --> 17:11.470 Imported sweets! 17:11.470 --> 17:16.210 They have dried fruits in them. The sweet and sour are exquisite! 17:16.210 --> 17:18.610 A collaboration of sweet and sour! 17:18.890 --> 17:20.090 Shall we go? 17:20.750 --> 17:23.500 You're just the villainess! 17:23.500 --> 17:26.810 I feel like there's someone behind me shouting, 17:26.810 --> 17:27.990 but it doesn't really matter. 17:29.580 --> 17:31.040 A Different Day 17:36.860 --> 17:41.310 Oh my! Silly me! I have forgotten something! 17:41.310 --> 17:45.310 But I have something to do after this! So I cannot go retrieve it! 17:45.800 --> 17:50.140 Oh, I know! Prince Cecil! Can I ask you to get it for me? 17:50.140 --> 17:52.190 Her acting is entirely too wooden. 17:52.190 --> 17:54.750 Of course. Which classroom? 17:56.270 --> 17:58.950 My! Prince Cecil! 17:58.950 --> 18:01.780 I never imagined I'd see you here. 18:02.700 --> 18:08.030 The teacher told me to lock the classroom door and I completely forgot! 18:11.750 --> 18:13.180 I see. 18:13.370 --> 18:19.240 Oh, whatever shall we do, Your Highness? We've been locked in! 18:19.240 --> 18:21.170 You seem quite happy, considering. 18:21.420 --> 18:23.020 Oh, that's right. 18:23.020 --> 18:27.180 Thank you for the lovely rose you gave me the other day, Your Highness. 18:27.180 --> 18:30.190 A rose? I never gave you any such thing. 18:30.190 --> 18:33.610 It made me so happy that I have it on my windowsill! 18:33.610 --> 18:36.680 With the sky as a backdrop, the red is even more beautiful! 18:36.680 --> 18:38.150 It's even the wrong color. 18:38.150 --> 18:41.350 She's trying to force something that never happened into existence. 18:41.350 --> 18:42.700 I assume so, at least. 18:43.370 --> 18:45.690 That bird must be the light spirit. 18:51.540 --> 18:53.670 This little one is Pii-chan. 18:53.670 --> 18:58.150 He doesn't really take to most people, but it seems you're special, Your Highness. 18:58.150 --> 19:02.020 Just like me, he must really love Your High— 19:05.540 --> 19:07.570 Wait! What?! 19:07.910 --> 19:12.560 What am I supposed to do here alone?! 19:10.060 --> 19:12.560 I've ruined my gloves. 19:14.270 --> 19:16.020 Professor! 19:16.020 --> 19:19.420 A female student seems to have gotten locked in one of the classrooms. 19:19.420 --> 19:20.430 What? 19:22.840 --> 19:28.770 In this way, a year passed since Bertia began her little tricks. 19:29.290 --> 19:33.030 Your Highness, what happened with the heroine after that? 19:34.100 --> 19:36.050 Oh, the girl with the bird. 19:36.050 --> 19:40.640 Well, I mean, she and I haven't even introduced ourselves to each other. 19:41.190 --> 19:45.880 Within Halm Academy, most of the rules of high society still apply. 19:46.170 --> 19:47.960 The most extreme of these rules is that... 19:47.960 --> 19:49.610 aside from administrative necessity, 19:49.610 --> 19:53.060 those of lower status must never speak to those of higher status. 19:53.390 --> 19:57.810 Unless you are introduced, acting as if you don't know each other is polite. 19:58.800 --> 20:04.900 According to this rule, Miss Heronia and I are still strangers to each other. 20:05.250 --> 20:08.850 Though she doesn't seem like she means to abide by proper manners. 20:09.990 --> 20:14.920 B-But why? And after I've guided you to so many event spots, too! 20:15.410 --> 20:18.250 What's this? Guided? 20:18.250 --> 20:21.160 Then that means that everything that's happened was on purpose. 20:26.280 --> 20:27.700 Bertia. 20:27.700 --> 20:33.140 I have thoughts about this. That's why I'm maintaining this distance from her. 20:33.570 --> 20:36.550 Won't you please watch over me? 20:36.550 --> 20:37.990 Your Highness... 20:38.690 --> 20:41.600 You have some profound plan, don't you? 20:41.600 --> 20:45.480 After all, Your Highness would never let your beloved princess get away, would you? 20:45.480 --> 20:46.820 Of course not! 20:47.090 --> 20:49.670 And to make sure my adorable princess doesn't slip away... 20:49.670 --> 20:51.950 I work my hardest every day! 20:52.530 --> 20:57.330 Yes. All to make sure that my adorable princess doesn't get away. You see? 20:58.830 --> 21:01.280 I seem to have had the wrong idea about things! 21:01.740 --> 21:02.950 That's all right. 21:04.750 --> 21:06.150 I wonder why it is... 21:06.540 --> 21:11.740 Lately, as I watch Bertia fight so hard to put me together with Miss Heronia, 21:11.740 --> 21:15.590 part of me enjoys it, but part of me feels unamused. 21:16.570 --> 21:21.800 And it isn't simply that I find interacting with Miss Heronia tedious... 21:23.490 --> 21:25.970 This tightness in my chest is more than that. 21:27.640 --> 21:28.830 I don't understand. 21:29.750 --> 21:33.620 What could this emotion possibly be? 21:37.330 --> 21:43.170 Translator: Timer: Editor: Quality Control: Final Quality Control: 21:37.330 --> 21:43.170 Elanor Sakamoto Edgar Cruz Salem Alabanza Alicia Ashby Michelle Tymon 23:07.550 --> 23:13.170 Here is the report from your messenger on the Society for Adoring Lady Bertia. 23:13.170 --> 23:14.920 Right. Thank you. 23:14.920 --> 23:18.450 There seem to be several other fan clubs. 23:18.450 --> 23:21.140 Shall I have the others investigated as well? 23:21.140 --> 23:22.180 The others? 23:22.570 --> 23:25.110 The "I Want Prince Cecil to Condescend to Me Club," 23:25.110 --> 23:28.820 or the "I Love Prince Cecil's Darkness Club." There are many of them. 23:28.820 --> 23:32.730 Yes, well, I don't think we need to investigate those in any depth. 23:32.730 --> 23:34.260 Understood. 23:35.070 --> 23:40.150 Chapter 4 An Observation Log of a Self-Proclaimed Villainess and Love's Cupid. 23:35.470 --> 23:39.890 "An Observation Log of a Self-Proclaimed Villainess and Love's Cupid."
