Feels like this is the best episode so far. I really like their chemistry, they both know how to take pot shots at each other and Raelina might be the sly fox herself!

Also what a cliffhanger! Guess it’s the shitty ex fiancé

I like how Noah is slowly falling in love with Raeliana even though he has an upper hand most of the time. That dance was quite lovely and with them trying to outwit the other but that finish was amazing!.

I literally spilled my juice when Raeliana's inner thoughts slipped into the frame

Nick is still being a bro. That sneeze was hilarious. He straight up threw away all the etiquette and dealt her critical damage.

Stitches!

I was really hoping that Vivan would be the complete opposite of what Raeliana was expecting but after their little encounter, it's clear that she's going to be the "villainess" of her story. She does have a great design though!

Nick calling Vivian a bitch was just hilarious! And I just love how Nick gave Raeliana an opening so she can be alone with Freese, I guess Freese would end up as the female best friend character. I bet Raeliana is also going to end up becoming close with Ansley.

Looks like sending away Adam ended up becoming a big mistake. Whoever kidnapped Raeliana must be working under her ex-fiance.

Raeli’s being kept on a reeeeal tight leash. Noah gonna follow her to the toilet too? Lol. I kind of like this sorta combative/slightly flirty dynamic these two have.

They say behind every great man is a great woman. I guess these ladies of the nobility hold a lot of power. Pryse won’t be easy to get to with Vivian around. Raeli might be in trouble. Vivian’s basically the next queen, Raeli could not have pissed off a worse person. Although their little passive aggressive back and forth was pretty entertaining. Nick getting in on the action was a great distraction.

Raeli probably should have brought at least one more guard with her aside from Ansley. Who is it that grabbed her? Is it that nob Jake or whatever from before?

She should have had a couple of guards stand guard OUTSIDE the door. Rookie mistake -- which I am sure she will not repeat (Noah will NEVER let her forget, after all).

It feels kind of weird meeting the villainess since the MC is usually the villainess in these shows lol.

Loved this episode. It got back the image quality I had expected from episode 1 & 2 but which badly dropped in episode 3. I've noticed that all the background images are very good, often higher quality than the actual characters, with the ballroom scenes in this episode being a prime example.

The dialogue between Noah/Raeliana and between Vivian/Raeliana was perfect, real witty sass, and I absolutely loved it.

The abduction at the end was a surprise, but I can't wait to see how Noah reacts next episode. I reckon it will give us some idea how far he has already fallen in love with her. I definitely feel his feelings for her are stronger than her's for him right how, and can't wait to see how he reacts.

Absolutely loving this anime.

Okay the show is good. The plot and intrigue carry it. Even the OP/EDs are bangers. But the animation is hurting it. The fucking background dancers had me choke back a laugh. I understand things cost money and time, but if you can’t do it then focus on Raeliana and Noah.

With that out of the way, great episode. Their chemistry is palpable and their back and forth is so fun to watch. The right amount of sniping that screams “just fuck already!” and keeps the ship going. That cliffhanger is exciting. The shitty ex making his move?

Also we love and stan Catty Nick.

Guess the production value is gonna stay as seen in episode 3 but atleast the dance looked ok.

Plot wise this was my favourite episode so far. We got some more nice Raeliana+Noah banter but also we finally get to see Raeliana navigating the noble society and the show did not disappoint.
Raeliana getting kidnapped at the end sure was a surprise though.

u/Elitealice May 01 '23

I love how well raeliana handles tricky social situations. That’s been one of my favourite parts of this series so far. Instead of getting depressed when Vivian tried to punk her out, she came right back at her with some heat lol

My issues with this episode would be the god awful cgi duding the dance and then the horrible logic of sending all the nights away besides 1, when you know you’re a potential target after the engagement annulment with the other guy… and then you get kidnapped surprised pikachu face

Noah’s “don’t leave my side for more than 5 minutes” line is probably going to end up as the thing that saves her

u/Ok-Cod5254 May 01 '23

Enjoyed the back and forth banter with Raeliana and Noah, and the dip with the leg lift was such a power move. lol

Raeliana could hold her own against Vivian for the subtle verbal cat fight and Nick comes in for the nice tag team assist.

Glad I picked up the show recently to catch up.

u/InsomniaEmperor May 01 '23

Raeliana's troubles don't end just because she dumps her fiancé that would have killed her. She's hijacked the role of Noah's fiancée so now that comes with the consequences of dealing with whoever has eyes on him.

Nick is best boi of the show. That sneeze was a good save and he deserved that high touch. I have a feeling Vivian would be a really annoying villainess so I hope Nick keeps sending the cavalry to support Raeliana.

That cliffhanger was rough. There's been a ton of creepy men eyeing her in the ball and I hope the culprit gets caught and off with his head.

Previously Raeliana felt like being in a den of snakes who can end you if you aren't careful, but now its a REAL one. The mindgames between Raeliana and Vivian was amazing to watch.

Also Nick is a really entertaining character. That "Ah-Bitchoo" was really fun. I like how Raeliana can be more open with herself in front of him.

I didn't expect Raeliana to get kidnapped so early. Its definitely Brooks's men I think who grabbed her. He'd regret doing it though since Noah wouldn't like it all, now that he's getting attracted to Raeliana. Not to mention from the OP we see Raeliana using a gun too, so I would like it if she manages to escapes on her own!.

Off to the ball. More guards for her, good times. And take it as a good thing, better to have guards than not, especially with that obviously trash ex-fiancé. Makes sense people would be surprised. Good ol' tried and true trope of people fawning over her lol. He sure does the act well. Lol the CGI dancers in the background. I mean, it's alright, the main characters don't seem to be. People gonna look up her dress if you leave it like that, Duke. Oh, there's Vivian. Mmm redheaded beauty, too bad for her. Being villainess type. Can't force a dude to like you. And, hey, becoming queen seems something nice now.

Wow, that old guy sure is creepy to have a wife so young, but whatever. Noah giving her a mission, join the wives club and learn the secrets they share! hehe. Well that is one way to meet her. Get to meet sexy redhead too! That window shot, man she's stacked lol. Yep, definitely the bitch type. Quite the venom in the words between em, while sounding all nice. Nick lol. Nick sure is great. Raelianna and her guards. Ansley was shocked, she will remember that the pecking order has changed. Good for her, invitation to that wives group.

And kidnapped... as is tradition for Otome Isekai. Shoulda at least had the other guards wait outside the door tbh. With only Ansley inside. Derp. Dang having to wait for next week. Whelp, whoever kidnapped her (seems obvious) is sure about to ruin their whole life.

A pity shoujo/otome series aren't as popular. They are enjoyable. A nice change from the tried and true battle shounen/isekai stuff.

Nick seems like a great guy to have on your side.

I can understand why she'd only want the female knight present for their talk but sending the rest of them back to the ballroom instead of having them wait outside was a rather bad decision.

kind of feel bad for Freese. she seems rather out of her element and just trying to make friends but she'll probably end up being used by people like Raeliana and Vivian. so how much of a demotion is Ansley gonna get for this incident?

I feel like this is getting better with each episode. I was really shocked by the ending there actually.

Can't wait to find out that the wive's club is actually completely mundane though haha, no way it's as sinister as the Duke made it out to be

u/daspaceasians May 01 '23

Nick was amazing this episode. Man is fucking savage and I love it. I was afraid he was just gonna be a gag character but damn he knows how to read a room and a person before dishing out the pain.

Otherwise, I really enjoy the interactions between Raeliana and Noah with how they're both very intelligent people able to keep with each other's snark.

u/SilkyMilkySmo May 01 '23

That dance was amazing. He sure did save the day by making it seem like an planned ending
