| This Theodore guy might be the most mysterious character in the show now. And being able to change his appearance...yikes. Rishe also got kissed this episode! Was not expecting that. This episode seems to build more into a rivalry between Arnold and Theodore. Drama just hit through the roof. |
 |
| Arnold just threw caution to the wind, ignored the no-touching rule, and went in for the kiss. The one summoning Rishe to the chapel in the guise of Arnold is Theodore, the second prince. He cautions her, saying, Sooner or later, you'll meet your demise. However, Rishe, undeterred, asserts that she is well aware of the situation and is prepared to marry him. Just as Arnold himself emerges, Rishe remains uncertain about Theodore's genuine motives. Unexpectedly, Arnold proceeds to take an unforeseen course of action. Arnold's always been a bit ruthless, no surprises there. Then we've got Captain Obvious chiming in, warning Rishe about the whole "you'll end up dead" scenario – if only he knew the half of it. When Arnold makes his entrance, suddenly Captain Tough-Guy turns into a total pushover. It's kind of funny, honestly. But let's talk about the real shocker of the episode – that unexpected kiss. I mean, come on! In most romcoms, by episode 5, the main characters have maybe exchanged a few glances, not a full-on kiss. And can we talk about the nail polish trend? It's really taken off, especially in the maid department. Props to Rishe for her negotiation skills. I can't help but wonder how much digging it took to uncover that info about Arnold's sister, but hey, it worked. In the end, it seems like that revelation was all Arnold needed to get on board. Now, Elsie and Kamil – total traitors. No doubt Arnold's going to swoop in and save Rishe, and those two will definitely face the consequences for their betrayal. |
 |
| Everything about Arnold being cruel doesn't seem like a lie tbh. But he has done a lot of good things for the people too. Interesting. Rishe and Kaine's negotiations were like a tug of war going left and right lol. But Rishe got what she wanted in the end. Noooo waaayyy, whaaaat. Damn, I didn't expect this betrayal at all. And I liked them too T_T. Good episode. |
 |
| When will Arnold kill Theodore? I don't want siblings to kill each other, but what Theodore did to Rishe. He deserved it. Honestly, maybe the kidnapping was Rishe's plan from the beginning. She has planned something and intended to be kidnap. Hope so. |
真姫ちゃん！ 何が好き？ トマト よりも あ･な･た♡  |
| He killed his own mother... now I need the story behind this, think that he himself didn't do it but we'll find that out later. That kiss scene was perfect, blushing Rishe was so cute. When Rishe collapsed I had a hunch Theodore would be behind it, but damn didn't expect Kamil and especially Elsie to be behind this as well! Now you gotta wonder with what material he blackmailed them. |
| Feels like there's no love between brothers in their family. But the reaction of Theodore to Rishe's declaration really was priceless. Elsie is but one of many examples of people whose lives changed for the better thanks to Rishe's arrival. Her attmpts to change the life of people is bold as it's ambitious. The medicine card that Rishe pulled though was risky but showed well the kind of knowlege the loops provided her that enabled her to tug at Tully's heartstrings. Making Tully see the error of his ways was a nice bonus. But wow didn't expect Theodore to pull that move after being rebuffed. |

| Quite shocked with Elsie being involved in the kidnapping. |
Well this worked... So finally today Rishe was able to make a deal with the Aria company chief, although she use a cheat card but ended in a win nonetheless. And yeah Theodore has some issues, that betrayal man... How could Arnold know those two were working for his little brother, right? (he would have known actually) |

Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Elsie and Kamil you fucking RATS!!!! Dammit all I wasn't expecting that. DAMMIT Church scene was peak. |

| Scary episode for Rishe, and now she's at the mercy of the younger prince. 😖😖😖 P.S. I can't believe Rishe's own guard and maid would betray her. They have no gratitude. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Good episode.Rishe was able to make a deal with the Aria company.It was basically a game of wits. Also Theodore is mysterious.Arnold is ruthless and decisive. Also the kiss was beautiful.The animation was full 10/10.Really great episode.Waiting for the next one. |
 |
| Nani?! The kiss was unexpected so early and with no regard to no-touching rule, but beautifully done. The negotiation part stretched a bit too long after that, but at least they came to an agreement. Theodore is one shady individual, but I don't believe Elsie and the other guy are doing it out of choice, most likely they were blackmailed with another sob story behind, or otherwise forced. |
| “I’m fully aware of the facts and I choose to become Prince Arnold’s bride” you go girl you better stand by your man lol Theodore can bring up all the negative stuff he wants about his brother, but Rishe’s seen through to Arnold’s true self and fully believes he’s a kind and noble person. Yea he may have killed people in battle, but only out of a need to defend his people. I do want some explanation on what Theodore meant by Arnold killed his mother.. maybe something during birth or a childhood accident? “What is this resolve in your eyes” even Arnold couldn’t help but be taken aback by how resolute Rishe is in the face of such circumstances. She’s determined to stand by him 😩 RAAAAAAH FIRST KISS. THIS WAS PERFECT. Can’t blame bro at all for folding and kissing her. She was just saying everything you’d want to hear at that moment. For Arnold it’s gotta be so nice to finally have someone that understands you so well and that you view as an equal. The staff cooked with that scene and made my week. Back in the palace, it was great seeing Rishe have the maids help with the cosmetic production process and even get to use it. For girls like Elsie who’ve come from the slums, being acknowledged by someone of high status like Rishe, and even treated as an equal, has to be an amazing feeling. We stan an economic queen 🙏🏾 Rishe brilliantly navigating the negotiations with the chief and making sure the people in the slums aren’t left behind economically was so cool. The biggest measure of a society is how its poor are treated. Getting them more involved in the economy will help everyone in the long run. In other fantasy anime I’d have expected Rishe to hold the medicine for the chief’s sister hostage, contingent upon his agreement. But nope, Rishe just wants him to understand that the urge he feels to save his sister is exactly how so many other people in this country feel. She really is amazing, man. No wonder Arnold fell for her. BUT WTF IS THAT ENDING. ELSIE AND KAMIL WERE OPPS??! Ok I need to know what the hell theodore is planning and why he’s so hell bent on keeping her away from his brother. If Elsie is involved surely there has to be a good reason. This is getting wild. Great episode and can’t wait for the next one |

| Elsie... why... I trusted you... |
| Her eyes were so pretty this episode. The stars in them. That plot twist was unexpected. Especially after the nice scene the maid and MC had beforehand. Probably blackmail or promise of great reward like helping their families. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Oh boy, the chapel scene at last! It was beautiful but I really wish the pace wasn't so fast because, for me, it lacked the very important emotional impact especially when compared to the scene with Tally that was done way better. It's an odd choice to focus on that scene more since that was their first honest conversation (to some extent) and the famous cryptic words "You don't have to be resolute to be my wife" are going to follow them throughout their relationship and were one of the first signs something isn't how it seems. A lot of her own thoughts on the matter were cut short which I think is a pity. They really could have just ditched the ED sequence and gave this scene more space to breathe. Still, it was beautifully animated. It was really worth the wait and it made me again really happy for the author that her novel got both manga and anime adaptations so fast! It was also amazing to finally hear the characters and their intonation in that moment because I think it carries a lot of hints. We can expect the end of volume 1 in the next episode. I wonder if they will bring up a very important plot point they skipped during the dance while Rishe is asleep in a dream? I believe that could be a good moment to include it if they plan on doing so. The next episode should have a fair share of emotional scenes as well so I hope they slow down the pace for them like they did with the scene with Tally in this episode. Being so close to starting the second volume feels like a dream. I really hope the anime does well so I can continue hoping for more! |
| Noir… It is the name of an ancient fate. Two sisters who watch anime. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect. |
| pretty sure elsie and kamil will see the error in their way and try to rescue her also cant wait to see arnolds face when he hears of this also rishe would definitely try to cover for elsie and kamil thus ends my prediction |
 |
| This is the craziest episode so far. I want to know more about Arnold's family. It looks like they all hate each other. Theodore said Arnold killed their mother, but that's it. We know he killed his father, so it's possible, but I'm assuming there are reasons. We get a kiss very early on. I was not expecting it at all, but it was good. Rishe was able to make the deal with Tully, benefiting the entire economy as a whole. Also, Elsie and Kami!? The closest people to her betrayed her. I can't believe it. |
 |
| That was a pretty intense episode, and this might just turn out to be the best non-sequel anime airing right now. That scene with Rishe and Tully negotiating was just dialogue but so compelling, especially seeing Rishe's turning the tables in a negotiation. The unexpected kiss between Arnold and Rishe was great too. Theodore is a big schemer for sure, and I hope he ends up being a well thought-out villain. |
| No fucking way. Elsie what the fuck man?? She has to be a double agent or something... |
 |
| A really good episode, there was a kiss for people who like romance THERE WAS, get out of there annoying kid, I don't believe that the maid will be involved in something without being threatened, but that's okay |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| Theodore thought he was being sly but little did he know Rishe is always playing 4D Chess in her head lol, the things he said about Arnold were interesting but it’s clear he was trying to stir shit, and when Arnold himself appeared he shut right up lol. And I really liked the scene after this where Arnold had Rishe by the neck, I feel like it could have been a bit more intense as he wasn’t actually grabbing her but of course Arnold wouldn’t make that dark of a move, the discussion had was great tho, as well as that kiss which I didn’t realize was the first lol. And speaking of Rishe playing 4D Chess, wow she really finessed Kaine there lol, every time it seemed like her big plays weren’t enough until she pulled out the dying sister card, and she said she didn’t intend to use that for her gain but come on, she absolutely is lol. But I get it, she didn’t want to go that far but had to, and now she got her trade deal like she’s been wanting. All seemed well until Rishe collapsed, and if that wasn’t bad enough Theodore went and kidnapped her using people she trusted, including her maid Elsie. I’m sure they’re not willingly helping Theodore but I was still surprised to see that, especially after the nail polish scene earlier this episode, I’m excited to see what hell Arnold raises in response to this. |

| The cliffhanger! The next episode will be the best ever. Just wait. |
| bruh |
| jeez i was not expecting a kiss so soon, they're so cute. but this show is so dead when it's anything other then rishe and arnold ngl. |
 |
| My mouth was wide open in shock when they kissed lol (no, literally it was wide open, you should have seen me! x'D). I was not expecting that so soon! The animation for the scene was gorgeous though! |
 |
| Ahhhh the kisss! Brilliant of Rishe to come up with nail polish as a business to partner up with Aria trading Co. I feel like Elsie and Kamil were manipulated into kidnapping her. Pretty convenient that Rishe asked for Elsie and next scene she's with Theodore. I don't think Kamil would just be willing to do that considering he didn't want Rishe talking to Theodore when they first met. What happened to the other blonde guard who was standing with them? Kamil and Elsie also looked really guilty tbh. |

As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| At first I thought they could have adapted the scene in the beginning slightly better (even though at least the music was fitting) and I was about to think maybe it’s good enough but then the kiss happened and I was like what: “You know what, never mind.” I totally felt that. So while not perfect I really love how they adapted it (I think I’m still bothered by Theodore’s voice and that distracted me). And can I just mention how beautiful the visuals are? I have to admit I’m not the biggest fan of the character designs although they grew on me a lot but the aesthetics are very pleasing. I just love the part where Rishe creates nail polish. It’s such a great way of showing how her traveling in her previous lives could gain her a lot of knowledge and to see how she is using It wisely now. Instead of just telling but showing how she does it. So many writers nowadays get it totally wrong writing these “superior” female characters everybody loves and gushes over for no reason. But this is so subtle, clever and in a way humble. And I’ve got to praise this anime continuously for not making the same mistakes many others are doing and I hope it stays that way. I’m even willing to overlook Rishe’s idealistic view on the economic circuit since it’s fiction. I also love how Rishe thinks of others too. The ending of this episode is very well chosen, I kind of knew they would use it like this. It’s a real cliffhanger. As always I’m excited for more. I just love this anime so much <3 |

| Despite what Theodore has in mind of Rishe getting involved with Arnold, nothing seems out of the ordinary, even her getting killed by him. Arnold has no words for Theodore, but it seems as if that he has pre-meditated this to a degree, such that Rishe had prepared a backup plan for Arnold to come to her rescue should there be a need. Rishe's definitely prepared to die and salvage herself all over again to get Arnold to accept her, and his answer to her conviction: a full-on kiss, which was completely unexpected at all. Back within her maid duties, her taking care of Elsie seems too forgiving for the latter who doesn't think that she deserves the treatment she got, which seems normal at hindsight. From a maid to a queen, and successfully convincing the Aria Trading Company's Kaine to sell nail polish and hiring slums for a large sum, Rishe's forward thinking, in a rather different radical way that puts equality into Galkhein. That said, he doesn't willingly approve any proposals willy-nilly, but word about his ailing sister is pretty much kept under a tight wrap, and her side business of being a medicinal cultivator, she has Kaine fully wrapped under her hands. Though this isn't much a deliberation tactic, the motive doesn't change, and Kaine finally concedes his arrogance to entrust his business to her. It was the longest of long-shots, and Rishe...got kidnapped by Kamil and Elsie under Theodore's orders. How would Arnold deal with his rather egotistical brother? |
 |
| Welp, RIP Theodore in the next episode most likely |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| As expected Theodore did something stupid, what I did not expect is Elsie betraying Rishe like that! |
| i think this episode cemented this series as one of the best this season, no questions asked. The negotiation was spot on, and the maturity of the trader to accept his shortcomings and apologize while declaring his loyalty to her was spot on ! |
| OMG this is so so interesting to watch !! i cant believe how amazingly good this show |
| Oh this ending was not expected. Hyped for the next one! |

| Caught up just now, I'm liking this show a lot. Rishe is a bit too good at way too many things... But I appreciate that she still has to use all of her wits and guts to make it through, instead of pressing a 'Win' button. I also like that using so many of her skillsets all at once is taking a toll on her. There's not enough time in a day and only one of her. I hope she learns how to pick her battles or find other smart ways to make things happen. |
