Melody is an amazing maid.

00:00:05,330 --> 00:00:10,940
When I consulted her after forgetting 
that a young lady making her debut

3
00:00:10,940 --> 00:00:15,010
must be accompanied by a male 
escort in order to attend...

4
00:00:15,010 --> 00:00:18,900
This is my friend who I just happened 
to run into earlier.

5
00:00:19,180 --> 00:00:22,640
Come to think of it, Melody shouldn't 
have that many acquaintances,

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,890
since she only just arrived
at the royal capital.

7
00:00:25,190 --> 00:00:27,900
But either way, it made me happy.

8
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:29,560
That said...

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,100
You know...

10
00:00:31,860 --> 00:00:35,560
A-Aren't you Lord Chancellor Reclentos's...

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,040
Greetings, Count Rudleberg.

12
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:44,300
I am Maxwell Reclentos, and I will 
be escorting your daughter today.

13
00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:50,020
She didn't tell me she'd be bringing 
along the lord chancellor's son!

That's actually not a bad idea.

00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:39,970
Then perhaps someone more wonderful 
will be reborn as the crown prince.

You're horrible!

26
00:02:41,340 --> 00:02:44,860
You're lacking awareness as a 
love interest, Christopher...

be more kind to the prince, Anna Asakura!

They were both six years old when they 
regained their previous life's memories.

Along with retaining the

they are fully aware that they 
are part of the otome game,

In this world, the "Dark One" was

hasn't enrolled in the academy.

You think Count Leginbarth 
hasn't found the heroine yet?

73
00:04:04,290 --> 00:04:08,340
But we know her name, and she has 
silver hair and lapis-lazuli eyes.

Aren't those features pretty unique?

75

She's given that name {\i1}after{\i0} 
the count takes her in.

76
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,990
It's because the heroine's 
mother was a maid,

so it looks bad if 
he doesn't, you know?

are easily skipped, and...

The fan book that was supposed to reveal
those mysteries was coming out!

I thought I'd finally be able to 
lay eyes on our little heroine,

81
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:38,260
so why won't she show herself?!

only thing I get to look at

84
00:04:41,210 --> 00:04:44,640
is this spineless crown prince with his 
stupid face who I have zero interest in.

The least they could do is show me the
 lean, muscular, handsome Lord Rect!

I would have preferred a slender girl

boobs like you, too!

harassment, you know!

For Rudleberg's young lady?

139
00:07:13,170 --> 00:07:16,430
Yes. But I suppose that would 
be going a bit too far...

140
00:07:18,020 --> 00:07:20,440
Did I say something amusing?!

141
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,290
Sorry, sorry.

142
00:07:22,290 --> 00:07:25,560
I was just glad to hear you're 
getting along well with your lady.

143
00:07:26,590 --> 00:07:27,660
I am!

144
00:07:31,150 --> 00:07:37,020
As an apology for laughing, 
I'll agree to escort the young lady.

145
00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:38,200
Are you sure?

146
00:07:38,510 --> 00:07:43,410
If it's of help to you, I'll lend you 
this arm of mine as much as you like.

147
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,590
Thank you so much!

148
00:07:46,370 --> 00:07:51,500
Yeah, getting this kind of reaction 
makes me happy, as well.

149
00:07:52,660 --> 00:07:56,730
Due to his beautiful appearance since 
childhood, Maxwell had become weary

150
00:07:56,730 --> 00:08:01,550
of women courting him or 
trying to use him for their personal gain.

151
00:08:01,550 --> 00:08:04,730
Though this didn't cause him 
to hate women, exactly,

152
00:08:04,730 --> 00:08:08,000
he had ceased to engage with them 
and kept his distance.

153
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,190
But Melody was different.

154
00:08:11,190 --> 00:08:13,120
She paid no attention to his good looks,

155
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,910
nor did her attitude change after 
learning he was a nobleman.

156
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,160
It's a comfortable relationship.

157
00:08:20,790 --> 00:08:22,830
Is this feeling... love?

158
00:08:22,830 --> 00:08:24,500
No, it's not.

159
00:08:25,020 --> 00:08:27,710
This is truly helpful, Lord Max!

160
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,700
If a dear friend is in trouble, 
it's only natural to help, isn't it?

161
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:36,060
And so, the story returns 
to the beginning of the episode.

162
00:08:36,060 --> 00:08:38,880
Hello, Count Rudleberg.

163
00:08:39,350 --> 00:08:44,180
I am Maxwell Reclentos, and I will 
be escorting your daughter today.

164
00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:50,320
Exactly why do people think 
this mansion is haunted?

165
00:08:51,150 --> 00:08:53,520
A pleasure to meet you, Lady Luciana.

166
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,590
I look forward to our day together.

167
00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:57,610
Huh? Oh, y-yes!

168
00:08:57,860 --> 00:09:00,190
I look forward to chuday...

169
00:09:02,670 --> 00:09:05,270
Well then, shall we be on our way?

170
00:09:05,270 --> 00:09:07,490
To attend the ball together.

171
00:09:08,850 --> 00:09:10,380
Yes.

172
00:09:11,750 --> 00:09:14,380
I look forward to it.

173
00:09:16,660 --> 00:09:18,640
I'll see you later, Melody.

174
00:09:19,070 --> 00:09:21,590
Have a wonderful time, my lady.

175
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,680
We must get going, as well.

176
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:27,720
Yes.

177
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,120
You have a party to attend tonight with
a friend as well, right, Melody?

178
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,530
Yes. I will be away from 
the mansion, but...

179
00:09:34,530 --> 00:09:36,160
We don't mind.

180
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,190
I'm told you haven't taken a single 
day off since you've come to us.

181
00:09:39,190 --> 00:09:41,170
Try not to be too late, okay?

182
00:09:41,170 --> 00:09:42,660
Thank you so much!

183
00:09:47,410 --> 00:09:51,610
He said he'd prepare a dress for me, 
but is that really okay?

184
00:09:51,610 --> 00:09:52,660
Apologies!

185
00:09:53,330 --> 00:09:54,540
I've kept you waiting.

186
00:09:54,540 --> 00:09:57,840
Not at all. I just got here as well.

187
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,130
Now then, shall we, Lord Lect?

188
00:10:04,290 --> 00:10:07,860
Oh my, why didn't
I realize sooner...

189
00:10:08,170 --> 00:10:11,980
that such a lovely maid 
was this close to me!

190
00:10:11,980 --> 00:10:15,560
My family used to deal 
in cosmetics for women.

191
00:10:15,870 --> 00:10:18,220
This is truly amazing, Paula.

192
00:10:18,220 --> 00:10:21,160
But did you really need to go this far?

193
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,930
I was invited because 
a partner was needed,

194
00:10:23,930 --> 00:10:27,430
but aren't I leaving right after
I make the required greetings?

195
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,200
That spineless master of mine...

196
00:10:30,930 --> 00:10:32,360
Well, all right.

197
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,850
Let's just go for now.

198
00:10:35,230 --> 00:10:36,810
Sorry to have kept you waiting.

199
00:10:43,940 --> 00:10:45,410
Lord Lect?

200
00:10:45,410 --> 00:10:47,510
Yeah... Let us go.

201
00:10:47,510 --> 00:10:50,720
Yes. Well then, Paula. See you later!

202
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,510
Yeah... B-Be sure to enjoy yourselves.

203
00:10:58,030 --> 00:10:59,150
Huh?

204
00:10:59,150 --> 00:11:03,780
Um... Where did you 
say this carriage is heading?

205
00:11:04,070 --> 00:11:07,990

206
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,020
The royal castle.

207
00:11:06,020 --> 00:11:08,000
Wh-Why the royal castle?

209
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,000
It's a small spring ball 
held at the royal castle.

210
00:11:12,350 --> 00:11:14,190
Oh, I see. Just a small...

211
00:11:14,190 --> 00:11:16,110
How is that {\i1}small{\i0}?!

212
00:11:16,110 --> 00:11:20,030
Well, I just... My boss kept 
bugging me to attend.

213
00:11:20,030 --> 00:11:24,590
I have never heard of a maid attending a 
party where their lady is also present!

214
00:11:24,590 --> 00:11:25,920
I should not be attending.

215
00:11:26,910 --> 00:11:30,400
But Paula sacrificed her 
sleep working on that dress...

216
00:11:31,170 --> 00:11:33,530
She spent the last three days 
working through the night,

217
00:11:33,530 --> 00:11:35,600
but I suppose her efforts will 
never see the light of day.

218
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:39,450
But he's right.

219
00:11:39,450 --> 00:11:43,950
Looking at the dress's quality, I can 
tell how much effort Paula put into it.

220
00:11:44,250 --> 00:11:46,800
Very well. I will attend.

221
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,990
But if I remain this way, 
my lady will notice.

222
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:51,180
You think so?

223
00:11:51,180 --> 00:11:54,410
With makeup on, you look like 
a different person to me.

224
00:11:55,060 --> 00:11:57,730
I mean, I think you look beautiful—

225
00:11:57,140 --> 00:11:58,470
You underestimate her.

226
00:11:58,860 --> 00:12:02,000
It's true, Paula's makeup 
skills are exceptional.

227
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,220
But while they might fool men, 
they certainly won't fool women.

228
00:12:06,220 --> 00:12:08,230
I-Is that how it is?

229
00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:09,800
That's how it is.

230
00:12:10,370 --> 00:12:14,820
If you had only told me from the start, 
I wouldn't be in this dilemma.

231
00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:20,030
If I had told you from the start, 
you would have definitely turned me down.

232
00:12:20,430 --> 00:12:22,110
Well. That's...

233
00:12:22,110 --> 00:12:23,470
I'm sorry.

234
00:12:23,470 --> 00:12:28,970
Come to think of it, your dark hair and 
eyes are rare, so you'd stand out.

235
00:12:28,970 --> 00:12:31,480
You're right. Just wearing makeup 
wouldn't be enough to...

236
00:12:32,490 --> 00:12:36,010
Oh, right. In that case...

237
00:12:36,010 --> 00:12:36,880
Lord Lect.

238
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:38,590
Huh?!

239
00:12:38,590 --> 00:12:41,250
I'm going to borrow your 
hair and eye color.

240
00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:44,210
Let my form be stained to my will...

241
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,680
Arcobaleno!

242
00:12:49,830 --> 00:12:53,020
We shall now commence the spring ball.

243
00:12:53,020 --> 00:12:55,550
Everyone, enjoy yourselves 
to your heart's content.

244
00:13:00,890 --> 00:13:06,180
Now entering from the House of Marquis 
Victillium, Lady Anna-Marie Victillium.

245
00:13:06,580 --> 00:13:09,880
And her escort, His Highness 
Christopher von Theolas,

246
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,320
It's Prince Christopher!

247
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,510
Lady Anna-Marie is even more 
beautiful than they say.

248
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,030
Crown Prince of the 
Royal House of Theolas!

249
00:13:13,030 --> 00:13:16,510
As expected from the Scarlet Seductress...

250
00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:20,460
{\b1\fnTimes New Roman\bord0\pos(145.333,244.667)\c&HFFEFFA&}The Scarlet Seductress

251
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,460
Though she doesn't seem like
 the nation-ruining kind.

252
00:13:20,460 --> 00:13:22,410
Continuing on...

253
00:13:22,410 --> 00:13:23,620
Oh...

254
00:13:22,650 --> 00:13:25,540
Say... If our little heroine isn't here,

255
00:13:25,540 --> 00:13:29,460
will tonight's ball event even happen?

256
00:13:29,460 --> 00:13:31,590
That's jumping the gun, isn't it?

257
00:13:32,030 --> 00:13:34,120
Don't you let your guard down.

258
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,570
Since our little heroine isn't around, 
there's no telling what might happen.

259
00:13:37,570 --> 00:13:39,290
Yeah, I know.

260
00:13:39,290 --> 00:13:44,450
Now entering from the House of Count 
Rudleberg, Lady Luciana Rudleberg.

261
00:13:44,450 --> 00:13:46,390
I-I'm so nervous...

262
00:13:46,740 --> 00:13:48,300
I'll be fine, right?

263
00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:52,110
I did get Melody's seal of approval 
on my walk and dance, after all!

264
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,590
Lady Luciana.

265
00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:54,580
Y-Yes?!

266
00:13:54,580 --> 00:13:56,190
The Rudlebergs?

267
00:13:56,190 --> 00:13:59,290
Can they even afford a dress for the ball?

268
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,180
If she had any noble pride, she wouldn't 
have come in the first place.

269
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:05,320
And her escort, from the House of Marquis 
Reclentos, Lord Maxwell Reclentos.

270
00:14:03,180 --> 00:14:05,320
Her poor escort.

271
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,120
Impossible!

272
00:14:06,490 --> 00:14:08,820
Why the Rudlebergs of all houses?!

273
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,590
Did he just say Lord 
Maxwell is the escort?

274
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,380
In the game, he's supposed 
to come by himself.

275
00:14:12,380 --> 00:14:15,430
He meets the heroine at this 
ball for the first time

276
00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:19,350
and asks to become her escort 
for the next ball!

277
00:14:19,730 --> 00:14:23,370
That bastard... He said he didn't have 
anyone he was friendly with!

278
00:14:23,370 --> 00:14:24,440
That traitor!

Where's the applause?

00:15:27,870 --> 00:15:28,800
Do tell.

302
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,700
Your Highness, if you would like... um...

Lady Victillium, would you care
 to join me for the next dance?

310
00:15:44,570 --> 00:15:48,470
If you will. I look 
forward to a fun dance.

311
00:15:48,470 --> 00:15:50,260
Yes! With pleasure!

If my daughter had been found,

315
00:15:55,790 --> 00:15:58,890
would she have been a 
part of that group, too?

316
00:16:02,990 --> 00:16:06,610
The sight was mysterious and, 
in a way, unapproachable.

317
00:16:06,610 --> 00:16:10,750
It was unlike Anna-Marie's 
bewitching beauty,

318
00:16:10,750 --> 00:16:14,580
yet also different from 
Luciana's innocent cuteness.

319
00:16:14,580 --> 00:16:17,230
Anyone who saw her thought...

320
00:16:17,230 --> 00:16:21,230
"An angel has descended 
upon this land."

321
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,530
Selena?

322
00:16:23,530 --> 00:16:26,780
No, her hair and eye color are different.

323
00:16:26,780 --> 00:16:29,360
Why did I feel that way?

324
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,650

It is a pleasure to meet 
you for the first time.

331
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,440
I am Mel—

00:16:39,710 --> 00:16:41,850
Cecilia.

333
00:16:41,850 --> 00:16:43,660
I look forward to our time here.

Cecilia...

335
00:16:45,460 --> 00:16:49,250
That's the name I intended to give 
my daughter when I eventually met her.

336
00:16:49,250 --> 00:16:52,820
Wow, Luciana. A really beautiful 
girl just walked in.

337
00:16:52,820 --> 00:16:53,650
Huh?

338
00:16:53,650 --> 00:16:56,330
What an unusual ball this has been.

339
00:16:56,770 --> 00:16:59,050
We're completely like air, unnoticed.

00:16:59,330 --> 00:17:02,010
That's very clearly Melody!

341
00:17:02,390 --> 00:17:04,040
She's staring at me.

342
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,470
H-Has she already figured me out?!

343
00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:10,320

00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,690
but to think he'd bring such 
a lovely partner along...

351
00:17:13,690 --> 00:17:17,490
Why didn't you introduce us sooner?

352
00:17:17,490 --> 00:17:22,340
I've only recently met her. 
And, since she isn't nobility,

353
00:17:22,340 --> 00:17:25,380
it's her first time attending 
something like this.

354
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,120
In other words,

355
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:29,620
"This will be the only time
she will be attending the ball."

356
00:17:29,620 --> 00:17:31,130
"I will not be bringing her again."

357
00:17:31,130 --> 00:17:36,860
You don't usually bring a partner along, 
but you'll bring a woman you just met?

358
00:17:36,860 --> 00:17:38,870
Does that mean what I think it means?

359
00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:41,340
My, my, whatever shall we do?

360
00:17:41,340 --> 00:17:42,930
Let me see...

361
00:17:42,930 --> 00:17:47,970
In order for her to participate in the 
next, she must have a suitable position.

362
00:17:47,970 --> 00:17:49,850
Perhaps that of a nobleman's wife?

363
00:17:49,850 --> 00:17:51,230
My, how wonderful!

364
00:17:51,230 --> 00:17:54,310
This is why I didn't want to 
bring a companion with me!

365
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,130
She's really composed for someone being 
teased by a couple of noblewomen.

366
00:18:00,130 --> 00:18:01,740
Impressive.

367
00:18:01,980 --> 00:18:04,280
Lectias didn't realize...

368
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:09,220
that Melody was hiding her true 
feelings under that fake smile.

369
00:18:09,220 --> 00:18:12,710
At that moment, Melody was, 
in fact, extremely flustered.

370
00:18:12,710 --> 00:18:14,340
She's looking at me!

371
00:18:14,340 --> 00:18:15,760
She's glaring at me!

372
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,080
Did she really notice me?

373
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,820
Even though Her Ladyship right 
in front of me hasn't?

374
00:18:20,970 --> 00:18:25,480
Oh, right. Lady Cecilia, I'd like 
to introduce you to my daught—

375
00:18:26,300 --> 00:18:27,360
Lord Lect!

376
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:27,970
Huh?

377
00:18:27,970 --> 00:18:30,430
U-Um, would you...

378
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:33,450
Would you join me for this dance?

379
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,050
The action she took was 
a breach of etiquette.

380
00:18:38,050 --> 00:18:41,030
Not only did she interrupt 
the lady's words,

381
00:18:41,030 --> 00:18:43,850
but it is the man's role to invite 
the woman to dance.

You just ran from me, didn't you?!

Luciana?

395
00:19:02,550 --> 00:19:05,430
Why are you furrowing 
your eyebrows like that?

396
00:19:05,430 --> 00:19:07,150
It's nothing!

397
00:19:07,150 --> 00:19:08,970
It doesn't seem that way...

398
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:12,490
Anyway, will you be participating
 in the event after this?

399
00:19:12,490 --> 00:19:14,370
What are you talking about?

400
00:19:14,370 --> 00:19:16,110
You aren't aware?

401
00:19:17,690 --> 00:19:19,020
This is...

402
00:19:19,020 --> 00:19:21,060
It's an interesting idea,
 don't you think?

403
00:19:21,060 --> 00:19:23,120
I'll be participating.

404
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,930
Really? Then...

405
00:19:24,930 --> 00:19:26,250
Lord Maxwell!

406
00:19:26,250 --> 00:19:27,360
Huh?

407
00:19:28,790 --> 00:19:31,390
Is something the matter, Lady Luciana?

408
00:19:31,390 --> 00:19:34,170
Lord Maxwell, would you...

409
00:19:34,610 --> 00:19:40,130
As I reiterate, the proper etiquette is 
for a woman to {\i0}wait{\i1} for a dance invite.

It was a moment when cuteness 
triumphed once again.

414
00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:48,930
Okay.

415
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,230
I've managed to get away from my lady.

416
00:19:52,230 --> 00:19:56,070
Once we're done dancing, I'll slip away 
into the crowd and go home unnoticed.

417
00:19:57,580 --> 00:20:01,320
You seem rather stiff. Are you nervous?

418
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,290
Oh, no, it's...

419
00:20:03,660 --> 00:20:05,730
I can't help it.

420
00:20:05,730 --> 00:20:09,430
Who wouldn't get nervous when asked 
to dance by a woman they're interested in?

421
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,490
A woman I'm interested in...

422
00:20:14,190 --> 00:20:17,860
Do I like this girl?

423
00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:21,000
Could it be that dancing 
is not your forte?

424
00:20:21,580 --> 00:20:23,290
You don't have to worry.

425
00:20:23,290 --> 00:20:27,460
Once you get the basics down, all 
that's left is to enjoy yourself.

426
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,430
Although I was a bit passionate 
when teaching my lady.

427
00:20:32,290 --> 00:20:36,310
There's no longer any doubt 
about it. I really do...

428
00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:43,750
Oh, Lord Lect really can dance.

429
00:20:44,370 --> 00:20:46,830
I'm sort of starting to enjoy myself.

430
00:20:47,570 --> 00:20:49,150
How about this?

431
00:20:49,910 --> 00:20:51,990
Would something like this be okay?

432
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:54,110
Wow, wow!

433
00:20:58,230 --> 00:21:00,000
How beautiful...

434
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,090
Truly.

435
00:21:01,090 --> 00:21:06,090
The angel and the fae princess are 
both dancing so beautifully.

436
00:21:07,790 --> 00:21:10,550
I'm getting way too many 
invitations to dance.

437
00:21:10,550 --> 00:21:13,420
I still haven't been able to have 
a word with dear Luciana.

438
00:21:13,420 --> 00:21:14,560
Same.

439
00:21:14,860 --> 00:21:20,050
Well, not to say I didn't enjoy dancing
 with a procession of beautiful girls.

440
00:21:20,050 --> 00:21:20,780
Disgusting pig.

441
00:21:20,780 --> 00:21:21,900
You're horrible!

442
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:24,990
Well, at least I have 
you-know-what after this.

443
00:21:24,990 --> 00:21:26,160
You-know-what!

444
00:21:27,330 --> 00:21:29,410
Thank you very much.

445
00:21:29,410 --> 00:21:32,120
Yes. I had fun, too.

446
00:21:33,410 --> 00:21:35,360
Oh, I need to get home.

447
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:36,560

00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:43,510
How are you enjoying 
tonight's ball so far?

450

Wh-What's...?

00:21:43,830 --> 00:21:47,750
For this one song, we'll be changing 
things up, so please enjoy.
