WEBVTT
00:00.020 --> 00:08.520
Our Ray of Light
00:01.310 --> 00:06.350
There's an otome game called
"Our Ray of Light",
00:06.350 --> 00:08.190
also known as "ORL".
00:09.150 --> 00:14.770
Playing that game
was a guilty pleasure in my former life.
00:18.230 --> 00:21.810
I met an abrupt end at the age of 18.
00:21.810 --> 00:24.520
But then, the memories of that past life
00:24.850 --> 00:28.850
came rushing back to me in world of "ORL".
00:32.020 --> 00:38.020
Now I am Pride Royal Ivy, first-born
princess of the Kingdom of Freesia.
00:38.600 --> 00:41.770
I am the elder sister
of the game's protagonist Tiara,
00:41.770 --> 00:45.190
and to her love interests, I was...
00:45.730 --> 00:47.600
a source of tragedy,
00:48.350 --> 00:51.690
the most heretical last boss.
00:53.690 --> 00:58.190
The Cruel Queen and the Fiancé
01:01.230 --> 01:02.350
Pride...
01:03.400 --> 01:04.980
Are you all right?
01:05.690 --> 01:07.480
If anything's the matter,
please let me know.
01:08.190 --> 01:10.060
Thank you, Stale.
01:10.060 --> 01:13.060
Elder Sister, I can't wait until tomorrow!
01:13.060 --> 01:14.770
Neither can I, Tiara.
01:14.770 --> 01:17.150
But... I am a little nervous.
01:17.730 --> 01:21.520
I shall do my best to ensure
01:21.520 --> 01:24.480
that your birthday celebration
proceeds without a hitch.
01:25.190 --> 01:27.940
Thank you, Chancellor Gilbert.
01:28.690 --> 01:32.900
Right,
tomorrow is my 16th birthday celebration.
01:32.900 --> 01:34.190
In this country,
01:34.190 --> 01:37.520
women are considered adults
from the age of 16.
01:38.190 --> 01:40.480
That's why tomorrow's celebration
is a very special day.
01:40.690 --> 01:45.940
If I don't prove
I have what it takes to be queen,
01:45.940 --> 01:48.150
or if even the slightest problem occurs,
01:48.150 --> 01:50.690
there'll be more than just
bad rumors spread about me.
01:51.150 --> 01:52.650
Rest assured.
01:52.650 --> 01:56.560
I'll be up there with you
when you announce your school system,
01:56.560 --> 01:57.980
Princess Pride.
01:58.600 --> 01:59.770
And also...
02:05.150 --> 02:09.020
Actually, I'll save that subject
for another time.
02:09.650 --> 02:11.940
Now, if you'll please excuse me.
02:19.020 --> 02:20.150
Stale.
02:21.150 --> 02:22.650
Are you all right?
02:22.650 --> 02:24.310
I'm sorry.
02:24.310 --> 02:26.560
I was just thinking about something.
02:26.560 --> 02:27.690
I'm fine.
02:28.400 --> 02:32.850
Maybe Stale is nervous
about tomorrow's festivities, too?
02:33.690 --> 02:37.400
I suppose that's because
I'm not the most reliable...
02:40.810 --> 02:44.600
As the first-born princess
and heir to the throne,
02:44.600 --> 02:46.940
and as the older sister
of these two precious souls,
02:46.940 --> 02:49.400
I must avoid
making a disgrace of myself tomorrow!
02:54.310 --> 02:57.190
You're way less into this than usual,
Stale!
02:58.060 --> 02:59.060
I know...
03:00.440 --> 03:02.270
I've been telling you this...
03:02.270 --> 03:04.270
since forever ago!
03:06.230 --> 03:09.020
If you've got something to say,
then spit it out!
03:09.810 --> 03:12.350
You've been off your game
all the time lately!
03:15.900 --> 03:19.230
Tomorrow is my elder sister's
birthday celebration.
03:19.650 --> 03:20.730
Yeah.
03:20.730 --> 03:23.150
I've been appointed
as a guard for the event.
03:27.190 --> 03:29.850
She's turning 16 tomorrow.
03:30.480 --> 03:36.060
And her fiancé will be announced
at the celebration, too.
03:36.060 --> 03:39.100
I'm afraid she's forgotten about that.
03:40.440 --> 03:44.480
That's how seriously
she's been working on the school system.
03:45.100 --> 03:49.520
No one wants to distract her from that,
so they haven't brought it up.
03:51.230 --> 03:52.230
But...
03:59.900 --> 04:01.810
You knew this is how it would go, right?
04:06.690 --> 04:07.980
Yes.
04:07.980 --> 04:09.600
I already made my peace with it.
04:10.270 --> 04:14.400
I'm prepared to devote my heart
and soul, and serve as seneschal
04:14.400 --> 04:18.020
to both my elder sister and her fiancé.
04:19.230 --> 04:20.690
However...
04:21.810 --> 04:26.190
that's only if I approve of Pride's fiancé
as someone worthy of her.
04:29.770 --> 04:31.480
I needed to know,
04:31.480 --> 04:35.100
so I did some digging into
Pride's fiancé, personally.
04:36.190 --> 04:38.270
He's the extremely outstanding
04:38.270 --> 04:42.690
and distinguished first-born prince
of our allied nation,
04:42.690 --> 04:44.150
the Kingdom of Anemone.
04:44.730 --> 04:46.560
Well, doesn't that sound ideal?
04:47.230 --> 04:48.350
Yes.
04:48.350 --> 04:49.690
But...
04:49.690 --> 04:52.850
rumor has it that he's also
a womanizer and a flirt.
04:53.560 --> 04:55.770
To an extreme degree!
04:56.900 --> 05:00.020
First-born prince Leon Adonis Coronaria.
05:00.020 --> 05:03.020
The most notorious playboy
in the entire Anemone Kingdom!
05:03.690 --> 05:06.150
That's who she's getting engaged to!
05:12.650 --> 05:13.980
Elder Sister.
05:14.350 --> 05:16.440
Your public announcements
05:16.440 --> 05:21.020
about the joint alliance policy
and the school system went wonderfully.
05:21.480 --> 05:22.650
Thank you.
05:23.980 --> 05:26.730
Not to mention that dress
looks great on you!
05:26.730 --> 05:28.310
Right, Stale?
05:28.310 --> 05:30.100
Uh, yes.
05:30.980 --> 05:33.650
Although,
showing less skin might be prudent...
05:35.440 --> 05:41.730
Your Royal Highness Princess Pride,
I wish you the most joyous of birthdays.
05:42.600 --> 05:44.230
Captain Rodrick!
05:44.690 --> 05:49.020
You have truly become
an admirable princess.
05:49.650 --> 05:51.350
Thank you so much.
05:54.400 --> 05:58.440
Happy Birthday to you, Princess Pride.
05:58.440 --> 06:02.810
We are blessed that you were born
into our kingdom.
06:03.400 --> 06:06.560
V-Vice Captain Clark!
06:07.150 --> 06:11.400
These two aren't supposed to be
love interests, right?
06:12.440 --> 06:13.690
Wait.
06:13.690 --> 06:15.690
That reminds me...
06:17.350 --> 06:20.270
Happy Birthday.
06:20.270 --> 06:22.690
I am Callum Bordeaux.
06:22.690 --> 06:25.440
Thank you, Squad Leader Callum.
06:25.440 --> 06:27.310
I know you quite well.
06:30.560 --> 06:32.150
Princess Pride,
06:32.150 --> 06:35.060
I wish you a happy birthday.
06:35.690 --> 06:38.900
Your dress is very pretty.
06:39.980 --> 06:42.520
I mean, not just the dress,
06:42.520 --> 06:44.520
but so are you.
06:45.150 --> 06:46.980
Thanks, Arthur.
06:46.980 --> 06:48.770
I look forward to your support
in the future as well.
06:53.350 --> 06:54.900
Yes.
06:54.900 --> 06:55.940
Of course.
06:57.230 --> 06:58.770
I will protect you always.
07:14.600 --> 07:15.600
Elder Sister!
07:16.850 --> 07:19.270
It's nothing, I'm all right.
07:20.060 --> 07:23.560
I suddenly remembered
two of the game's love interests!
07:25.440 --> 07:26.730
Wait,
07:26.730 --> 07:30.730
if I'm turning 16 today, that means...
07:31.650 --> 07:33.060
Are you okay?
07:34.600 --> 07:36.730
Your Royal Highness, Princess Pride.
07:42.310 --> 07:45.600
I deeply apologize
for not coming to pay my respects earlier.
07:46.520 --> 07:53.190
My name is Leon Adonis Coronaria,
first-born prince of Anemone Kingdom.
07:53.440 --> 07:55.770
I appreciate your kindness.
07:57.480 --> 08:01.190
I am the first-born princess,
Pride Royal Ivy.
08:01.190 --> 08:03.270
It is an honor and a pleasure to meet you.
08:04.100 --> 08:05.440
Oh my god.
08:05.440 --> 08:09.730
I can't believe I forgot about the fiancé
who I get engaged to on my 16th birthday!
08:11.980 --> 08:13.100
Leon.
08:13.100 --> 08:16.440
A love interest in the first installment
of the ORL series
08:16.440 --> 08:18.230
who is engaged to Queen Pride.
08:18.230 --> 08:20.600
In other words, my fiancé.
08:20.600 --> 08:27.600
Ultimately, he loses everything
and has his heart broken at Pride's hands.
08:38.690 --> 08:43.560
I have never laid my eyes upon
someone as beautiful as you.
08:43.560 --> 08:47.980
I do hope our acquaintance
will be a long one.
08:48.650 --> 08:50.690
Wait, wait!
08:50.690 --> 08:53.350
Mother hasn't announced anything yet!
08:53.810 --> 08:54.940
What do I do?
08:54.940 --> 08:58.270
His character is so different
from the one at the start of the game!
08:58.270 --> 09:00.060
My heart's not ready for this...
09:01.600 --> 09:04.310
Please, call me Leon.
09:04.310 --> 09:07.650
In that case, you may call me Pride.
09:10.980 --> 09:13.020
Shall we head back?
09:14.190 --> 09:16.600
It seems something is about to begin.
09:16.600 --> 09:19.270
"Something"? Oh, come on!
09:19.270 --> 09:21.480
He absolutely knows
what's going to happen!
09:23.560 --> 09:31.650
I would like to introduce first-born
princess Pride Royal Ivy's betrothed.
09:32.270 --> 09:36.940
The first-born prince of the Anemone
Kingdom, Leon Adonis Coronaria.
09:37.650 --> 09:42.400
With his engagement
to my beloved daughter Pride,
09:42.400 --> 09:46.520
we shall further strengthen our alliance.
09:47.940 --> 09:49.190
It is an honor.
09:52.350 --> 09:54.310
Princess Pride,
09:55.310 --> 09:57.940
I shall love you with all of my heart.
10:01.230 --> 10:05.560
And with that, my birthday festivities
successfully came to an end.
10:09.020 --> 10:13.520
Starting today, Leon will spend three days
at the castle and then return home.
10:14.560 --> 10:16.480
A week after that,
10:16.480 --> 10:20.560
he will come to fully live in our castle
as my fiancé.
10:22.480 --> 10:25.270
The next ten days are very significant.
10:26.310 --> 10:29.690
Both for him, and for me.
10:33.900 --> 10:36.100
Stay away, stay away, stay away!
10:36.100 --> 10:38.520
Stay away, leave me alone!
10:39.520 --> 10:41.770
Don't be like that, Leon.
10:41.980 --> 10:46.310
Your darling, beloved fiancée
is here to pay you a visit.
10:47.560 --> 10:49.020
Hey.
10:49.020 --> 10:51.980
You love me, don't you?
10:53.810 --> 10:57.100
I love you! I love you!
I love you! I love you! I love you!
10:57.100 --> 10:59.060
S-So please!
11:03.150 --> 11:05.440
I love you, too, you know?
11:05.440 --> 11:07.690
But it sure is unfortunate.
11:07.690 --> 11:11.400
You and I haven't actually
gotten married yet, have we?
11:11.400 --> 11:15.810
You're the prince consort in name only
and everyone pretty much hates you.
11:16.600 --> 11:19.810
Heck, even the former king
of the Anemone Kingdom
11:19.810 --> 11:22.100
told you to never come back, didn't he?
11:22.520 --> 11:25.770
I wonder what will happen to you if I
choose to break off our engagement, hm?
11:26.230 --> 11:28.900
Oh, that reminds me!
11:29.100 --> 11:34.810
It seems my little sister has been coming
here to spend time with you lately, hm?
11:35.730 --> 11:37.770
You two sure get along well.
11:37.770 --> 11:41.770
I might have another...
jealous fit, you know.
11:41.770 --> 11:43.900
No, I don't feel that way
about your sister!
11:43.900 --> 11:45.650
No, no!
11:45.650 --> 11:47.150
I swear, I only love you, Pride!
11:47.150 --> 11:48.480
Just you!
11:52.520 --> 11:54.230
How lovely!
11:54.230 --> 11:58.650
That face you're making...
It's my favorite!
11:58.650 --> 12:00.440
Don't fret.
12:00.440 --> 12:03.350
I'll never let you go.
12:04.440 --> 12:06.400
After all,
12:06.400 --> 12:09.600
you're my cute little toy.
12:09.600 --> 12:12.190
Even if you cheat on me again...
12:12.480 --> 12:17.440
I'll always let you avoid the punishment,
but only you.
12:18.310 --> 12:19.310
No...
12:19.310 --> 12:20.940
No, no...
12:20.940 --> 12:23.560
No, no, no...
12:26.520 --> 12:27.810
Pride,
12:27.810 --> 12:29.560
how are you feeling?
12:29.560 --> 12:31.810
I'm fine, thank you.
12:32.270 --> 12:34.600
Except for the strange dream
I had last night...
12:35.940 --> 12:37.940
And how are you, Prince Leon?
12:39.100 --> 12:41.940
I feel quite fortunate that
I'm able to see my beloved Pride
12:41.940 --> 12:43.650
starting bright and early.
12:45.810 --> 12:49.600
Leon is a magnificent prince
who has all the skills and temperament
12:49.600 --> 12:51.940
needed to be king.
12:51.940 --> 12:55.150
However,
rumors of his philandering spread far.
12:55.520 --> 12:59.100
Which caused him to be ostracized
from the Anemone Kingdom,
12:59.100 --> 13:03.440
then engaged to the atrocious
and diabolical Queen Pride.
13:04.480 --> 13:09.150
Ultimately,
he is so badly traumatized by Pride
13:09.150 --> 13:13.230
that he develops a severe
and intense fear of people.
13:14.600 --> 13:19.060
He loses all status and influence,
ending up a prince in name only.
13:20.650 --> 13:22.520
Understandably,
13:22.520 --> 13:26.020
there's absolutely no romance between
Pride and Leon in the game.
13:27.650 --> 13:28.730
Yet...
13:32.810 --> 13:34.940
Shall we take a short rest?
13:43.020 --> 13:47.400
I love you, more than anyone and anything.
13:47.400 --> 13:48.600
There he goes!
13:48.600 --> 13:50.650
The flirt archetype working his magic!
13:51.020 --> 13:52.520
I never stood out in my old life
13:52.520 --> 13:57.230
and I haven't been anybody's love interest
even after getting reincarnated.
13:57.230 --> 13:58.940
This is just too much for me!
13:59.900 --> 14:03.020
But even so, I have to get a grip.
14:03.020 --> 14:06.270
I need to accept his advances
and not shy away.
14:06.900 --> 14:12.560
I have to earn some of his trust
before he goes back to his country.
14:13.690 --> 14:15.020
It's okay.
14:15.020 --> 14:17.020
There's no need for me to swoon.
14:17.560 --> 14:21.690
Just forget about being nervous, shy,
or anything like that.
14:22.480 --> 14:24.560
After all, the love he murmurs on about...
14:25.480 --> 14:27.690
is all a lie.
14:45.600 --> 14:46.770
Val?!
14:49.310 --> 14:51.270
Sefec and Kemet are here too!
14:52.900 --> 14:54.480
Hey, Princess.
14:54.480 --> 14:56.770
Grew to be pretty good-looking, eh?
14:58.270 --> 15:00.270
Princess, you're so cute!
15:00.270 --> 15:01.850
Yeah, cute!
15:01.850 --> 15:05.100
Well,
you still haven't really filled out much.
15:05.100 --> 15:07.850
Brought you correspondence
from the Yaburan Kingdom.
15:08.600 --> 15:12.690
Also a letter of congratulations
on your engagement.
15:13.600 --> 15:14.770
So?
15:14.770 --> 15:17.100
What's your fiancé like?
15:17.600 --> 15:19.350
He's wonderful.
15:19.350 --> 15:20.770
What's that thing?
15:19.350 --> 15:22.350
The first-born prince of Anemone Kingdom.
15:20.770 --> 15:21.810
I dunno.
15:21.810 --> 15:23.520
It's so awesome!
15:22.350 --> 15:24.730
He's been very kind to me.
15:23.520 --> 15:24.730
I know!
15:28.270 --> 15:30.270
If you don't wanna marry him,
want me to get you outta here?
15:31.350 --> 15:36.230
I mean, I am your servant and all.
15:36.560 --> 15:39.900
I can easily get you outta the kingdom,
if that's what you wish me to do.
15:41.440 --> 15:43.350
It ain't so bad, living life on the run.
15:43.350 --> 15:45.730
Free to do whatever you want
anywhere in the world.
15:46.650 --> 15:50.810
Using my power
to support three kids is easy enough.
15:55.600 --> 15:57.020
Is there something funny?
15:57.020 --> 15:58.810
No, I'm sorry.
15:59.350 --> 16:03.270
I just started thinking that living a life
on the run with all of you
16:03.270 --> 16:05.150
would actually be nice.
16:06.230 --> 16:09.560
Imagine the villainous queen
just up and vanished,
16:10.150 --> 16:14.600
then Tiara could safely ascend the throne
and have her pick of eligible bachelors.
16:14.600 --> 16:18.520
Like Arthur, Stale, Prince Leon,
or the other suitor.
16:18.520 --> 16:21.310
Together, they would lead this
kingdom into peace.
16:22.810 --> 16:26.310
But I can't take his hand right now.
16:26.650 --> 16:30.690
I may be the world's worst queen
and problematic last boss, but...
16:31.560 --> 16:36.520
Even so, I've come to love this nation
and its people.
16:37.350 --> 16:39.810
I would like to fight fate
for as long as I can.
16:40.730 --> 16:43.520
This is where I want to be.
16:43.520 --> 16:46.190
Queen to the end.
16:47.440 --> 16:49.060
Thanks for the offer, Val.
16:49.060 --> 16:50.810
But I'll keep toughing it out.
16:51.560 --> 16:55.650
Although,
if I ever truly lose my place here...
16:56.770 --> 17:00.020
I'd be happy if you'd take me in.
17:02.560 --> 17:04.230
There's no "if" about it.
17:05.310 --> 17:09.230
Just order me to take you in, Princess.
17:12.520 --> 17:13.690
Very well, then.
17:14.270 --> 17:17.440
When our wills align,
17:17.440 --> 17:19.940
please take me in.
17:24.600 --> 17:25.690
Time to go!
17:28.190 --> 17:29.270
Val...
17:30.810 --> 17:32.900
I'm so glad you're in my life.
17:46.690 --> 17:50.270
If the time comes when you
seriously wanna ditch everything,
17:51.770 --> 17:56.100
then I will spend the rest of my life
making sure you all can live.
18:25.310 --> 18:28.520
I'm grateful you've taken me on a tour
to so many places.
18:28.520 --> 18:31.480
The Freesia Kingdom is a lovely nation.
18:32.230 --> 18:34.230
Thank you.
18:34.230 --> 18:37.690
I've heard that you take it upon yourself
18:37.690 --> 18:41.020
to visit the town
around your own castle, Prince Leon.
18:41.520 --> 18:44.230
Yes, it's important to know
how my people live.
18:44.230 --> 18:47.980
And so, I make it a point to visit
and speak with them personally.
18:47.980 --> 18:51.900
Because being in touch with
the people is the most important thing
18:51.900 --> 18:54.440
that a leader like me can do.
18:57.730 --> 18:59.480
What an impressive way of thinking.
19:14.060 --> 19:18.690
Pride, shall we stargaze from my room?
19:18.690 --> 19:19.730
Yes.
19:34.900 --> 19:36.100
That must be...
19:38.690 --> 19:39.900
Arthur.
19:39.900 --> 19:41.350
That you, Stale?
19:42.060 --> 19:44.310
Arthur. Prince Leon is-
19:44.310 --> 19:45.900
I...
19:45.900 --> 19:49.350
hate that Princess Pride
is going to marry Prince Leon.
19:50.100 --> 19:53.980
I understand the importance
of a royal marriage.
19:53.980 --> 19:54.980
But...
19:55.310 --> 19:57.350
that guy is no good.
19:57.350 --> 19:59.940
He can't make the princess happy.
19:59.940 --> 20:02.310
Arthur, listen to me carefully.
20:02.520 --> 20:05.480
My apologies, but I was wrong.
20:05.480 --> 20:07.230
Prince Leon is a good per-
20:07.230 --> 20:10.440
Well... I won't accept him!
20:10.440 --> 20:14.060
As it stands, that jerk marrying her is...
20:15.440 --> 20:16.810
unacceptable!
20:19.770 --> 20:22.190
Those creepy smiles...
20:23.400 --> 20:24.810
They give me chills!
20:25.810 --> 20:27.190
It's unnatural!
20:34.560 --> 20:38.850
You're telling me that both
Elder Sister and Prince Leon
20:38.850 --> 20:41.980
have been faking their smiles
this entire time?
20:42.810 --> 20:43.900
Why, though?
20:44.810 --> 20:48.810
I don't mind if it's only Prince Leon,
but why Elder Sister as well?
20:51.190 --> 20:54.100
Well then Pride,
I will see you again soon.
20:54.100 --> 20:55.310
Prince Leon.
20:57.440 --> 20:58.600
What is it?
20:59.600 --> 21:01.270
The promise we made last night...
21:01.270 --> 21:02.900
Please keep it.
21:07.850 --> 21:08.900
Pride...
21:08.900 --> 21:11.810
What did you promise last night?
21:11.810 --> 21:15.600
Hah! Well, isn't this grand?
21:15.600 --> 21:18.100
All three of the royal siblings are here
to roll out the welcome mat!
21:18.730 --> 21:23.600
The first princess of Yaburan Kingdom
sent quite the big gift for your birthday.
21:24.100 --> 21:25.270
Val!
21:25.270 --> 21:27.400
I have an extremely
confidential request for you!
21:30.690 --> 21:33.810
What? Why do I have to?
21:33.810 --> 21:35.190
Yeesh.
21:35.190 --> 21:36.190
Elder Sister...
21:36.190 --> 21:37.190
It's all right.
21:38.400 --> 21:40.480
Yes, everything's fine.
21:41.150 --> 21:45.230
The memories of my past life give me
the insight I need to take action here.
21:46.480 --> 21:48.730
I am the only one...
21:50.230 --> 21:52.020
who can bring Prince Leon happiness.
23:27.440 --> 23:32.440
The Most Heretical Last Boss
Queen: From Villainess to Savior.
23:33.150 --> 23:34.150
Episode 2:
23:34.230 --> 23:40.100
