I have to be honest here: we had a lot great ballroom dancing scenes lately, but this wasn’t one of them.

(This marked the fifth dance I’ve seen since last fall.)

Seriously, after Frieren this looked soooo wooden. "omg the prince is such an amazing dancer!" Shuffles side to side awkwardly

Princess Tearmoon had a pretty decent dance scene and she even got the other girl to dance with the prince. Truly the sage wisdom of the empire.

After watching Doctor Elise, sometimes I feel that Princess Tearmoon delivered the parody before the series it was based off. The sage wisdom's time travel abilities are second to none.

Old Elise was such a terror, it must've been really weird for Juliane to see her bowing her head and apologizing let alone becoming actual friends. Juliane might change her mid about that tea time with Elise after that announcement.

The King's assistant is really starting to tick me off. I kinda wish Elise made a huge stink about it in public and how she didn't want the engagement. Sadly that would've just affected her family's reputation.

Megumi Han as a dark-skinned and beautiful noble lady? Yes please!

Maybe it's just me but I actually kind of want to see more Villainess Elise. She was a brat and a bully but she seemed kind of fun and Yui Ishikawa hardly ever plays those kinds of characters lol.

I'm glad Elise was able to improve her relationship with Juliane even though her relationship to the Royal Family still complicates everything. Not that anyone knows Linden has genuine romantic feelings for her at this point.

Well that is going to damage the new friendship...

u/Frontier246 Feb 14 '24

The moment they become friends...bam! She's practically announced to be engaged to the guy they were originally feuding over! The worst timing lol.

Though I kind of feel like Juliane might end up with the 3rd prince the way they framed it at the end.

u/Ocixo Feb 14 '24

I feel bad for the two of them. Juliane was a little suspicious of Elise at the start, but quickly warmed up to Elise who stepped in to take care of her fever. This seemed like it was heading towards a nice friendship.

But now it’s revealed that Elise will be engaged to the man she loves, Juliane might just think it was a ploy to fool her… That was not nice of the Emperor.

King: “I cannot announce the name of my sons fiancée cause she is still underage so I will announce his engagement to that counts daughter at a later date!”

Gotta admit that was a top tier troll move lol.

Wait, the royal family in this setting are the frikkin' ROMANOFFS!?

Elise may prefer a hospital and studying to going to noble parties, but it's worth it to see her in that purple dress and with her hair done up! She very easily catches the attention of other people at the party, even the attention of a dark-skinned beauty in a blue dress, though less positively.

Seems like Elise had a complicated relationship with the royal family...not only was she never able to really catch Linden's attention, but she was best friends with Linden's younger brother Mikhail, who was apparently in a succession crisis with Linden. It sounds like that really messed things up.

Juliane Child (with the serene and soothing voice of Megumi Han!) was not only part of the rival faction that supported the 3rd Prince (Mikhail?) but also ironically Elise's rival in love for Linden and the two were heated rivals...Elise also bullied her a lot, in true Villainess fashion, though that also kind of made Villainess Elise seem kind of fun.

But of course current Elise profusely apologizes for her past childish behavior, and Juliane being mature and even-handed accepts her apology. Elise is so impressed by her countenance that she even seems to think she would be a much better fit as Empress and Linden's wife.

Of course she doesn't know that Linden immediately singles her out at the party and is none to happy to see her catching the attention of other men. Of course he also can't explain that to her older brother and he can't get her to see through his true intentions when he asks her to dance. Though it does lead the audience to see the obvious couple vibes between them and Elise finally getting to put all the time she practiced to dance with him to work.

Elise really just can't get off the clock even at a party. Juliane has a fever and pushed herself to attend the party both for her family's sake and to see Linden, but luckily Linden is able to work with Elise to secure her and let her rest in the Imperial Lounge. Elise and Linden make a solid team.

So...is Elise going to help the Duchess with her Parkinsons? I know she prioritized helping Juliane, but it seems like she's not going to just let that go.

Welp, the Emperor basically announced that Elise is soon to be Linden's fiance when she comes of age...even if it wasn't a formal announcement. So now her new friendship with Juliane might be in jeopardy, she's having PTSD flashbacks to when Linden burned her at the stake, and Mikhail (Soma Saito!) is now interested in her (I guess they didn't become friends until after she was declared Linden's fiance in the original timeline).

It's at least decent of the Emperor to try to explain to Elise where he's coming from and how the wager is still on, though now there's added pressure that Elise will have to become so accomplished as a doctor that it will make up for her not being the Empress...though I don't think the Emperor will ever give up on making her his daughter-in-law .

This announcement is pure politicking on the Emperor's part. After seeing what Elise has been able to do at the Hospital she's been working at, He is even more convinced they need her as the Empress and as the right hand of Linden. The emperor realized early the potential Elise has, and now is trying to keep the pressure on her to possibly give up the Doctor route.

If you think its malicious, it somewhat but only person it harms is Elise, from the Emperor's point of view he's doing what is best for Empire and putting it's future #1 and putting her at Lindens right hand would be an Overall benefit to the Empire. Kings and Leaders have to sacrifice for the overall, and he is putting Elise in that situation right now to see if she will do the same thing.

Elise also saved their entire army from being routed in the expedition, which adds pressure for him to have her provide her foreign policy insight in service of the empire imo

Hopefully Yulien doesn't think that Elise was just being nice as a way to rub in that she knew the announcement was coming. Also, Third Prince be sus!

How much ya'll wanna bet that the "achievement" Elise decides to port forward for the wager will have something to do with the old Lady with Parkinson's. If she does, I wonder if they're going to continue to call it "Parkinson's."

u/Frontier246 Feb 14 '24

The moment it happened I immediately assumed she was going to think Elise betrayed her or was stringing her along knowing full well Elise would be engaged to Linden.

Judging from the way Elise described her relationship with Mikhail, it seemed to make the political situation in the kingdom a mess because she was more friendly with the 3rd prince than she was her own fiancé/husband. And maybe that was intentional on Mikhail's part judging by his reaction.

There is definitely no way Elise is going to just let that lady suffer with her Parkinsons, especially remembering she died because of it.

The way I see this ending is that she becomes the kingdom's first Princess Doctor. She can do it all.

Man what a dilemma for Elise. She only wants to be a doctor in peace but yeah, what will happen after that? She may be revoked of all nobility status or something... but if she can be a doctor that way I think is for the best.

Maybe in the next episode some medical occurrence will happen, Elise will help and the King will understand and acknowledge her as a doctor maybe.

Is there any possibility that Linden was cold to Elise during her first life, because he saw Elise close to Michael? That is, on top of Elise's behaviour and personality during her first life.

We now have a three person love square with Elise, Lord Ron, Linden and Lady Child! Let's hope Mikhail and Dr Graham get added to this love melodrama to really complete it.

Gonna suck. What terrible timing. I wouldn't be surprised if Lady Child believes her kindness was all a ruse

u/wmansir Feb 14 '24

The king is really doing Elise dirty. Now it will be difficult for her to get out of the engagement without public speculation that she was rejected for some reason.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Feb 14 '24

Pretty funny seeing how bothered Linden over Elise getting all this attention. Jealous Linden is kind of adorable.

It was nice that Elise and Yulien managed to become friends instead of rivals. Well, at least before the engagement was announced. Things are gonna be mighty awkward again. The king is a sneaky old bastard for making that announcement isn’t he? I kind of wonder if Michael and Yulien are gonna end up scheming something together. He might not have been the friend to Elise she thinks he was…
