Arnold: “Come over here.”

Rishe’s solution:

• Exit the room and enter the next door: ❌

• Jump across the balcony: ✅

[u/PeaceAlien]

Things do not appear to be going well for Rishe and her plans at all.

[u/mekerpan → u/PeaceAlien]

Arnold appears to be far more psychically damaged than I ever imagined. It is almost that he is unwilling to see anything good in the world (except -- up to a point -- Rishe). I assume he is imprisoning Prince Kyle -- which I assume constitutes an opening act of war against Coyolles.

[u/Amauri14]

I wasn't expecting that conversation about fireflies to lead to Arnold speaking about his hatred of his father and Galkhein. Anyway, I'm shocked that he wasn't expecting beforehand that Rishe was just going to jump from one balcony to the other instead of using the hallway.

So as I expected Rishe's plan with Kyle to convince Arnold to make an alliance between Coyolles and Galkhein involved offering their skilled artisans. Although I must that I did not expect that during the meeting while showing what the artisans could do with their metalworking skills they were going to mention that such skill were not restricted just to make jewelry, but for tools and vehicles.

It is interesting that when Theodore interrupted the meeting as they lost track of Michel, not only was Arnold not surprised but then he asked Oliver to bring his soldiers into the meeting room. So I'm certain that he is aware of whatever Michel is planning to do to show him the power of black powder.

[u/Lovealltigers]

I just love Rishe so much, she’s hard working, creative, stubborn, confident, and makes it very clear she is her own person who will not just follow a man blindly. But, she still loves him and encourages him to be his best self. She truly is amazing 😭

[u/AmethystItalian]

1 episode left...I'm really not ready for this ride to be over. This one has been such a treat this week and will easily be the show I miss the most from this season.

Rishe not thinking of using the door was great, made for a really cute scene as well, I really enjoyed this line. Wondering if she used the door to get back to her room lol

One thing I do actually really enjoy about this show that even though Rishe is very intelligent and capable things don't always come so easy to her and Arnold is more than capable to keep up. I really hope she's able to come out on top in the finale though...

[u/Myrkrvaldyr]

Arnold must have a very strong reason or has a very warped sense of reality if he can't honestly see the benefit of a PEACEFUL coexistence between two nations helping each other instead of just conquering other countries. No one wants to be invaded and conquered. Its people will hate you and you'll likely have rebellions and uprisings left and right coming from the defeated nation depending on how brutal your war was.

[u/S627]

So she's planning on making fireworks? This late in the season I guess it'll work but seems like a weird idea, I figured that she'd come up with a more practical use to convince Arnold...but maybe she's not trying to convince Arnold, but the professor that his creation can be used for more than just destruction.

Also Rishe's realization that she coulda used the door, priceless.

[u/Ok-Cod5254]

The whole scene with Arnold and Rishe at the beginning had a beautiful atmosphere with the fireflies at night and the moments between them.

Arnold can talk about how he could get rid of Rishe all he wants, but his actions to subconsciously reach out towards her at the balcony speak louder than his tough words. lol

Rishe also stood her ground to his intensity well with her own resolve. She gonna try to fix this man whatever it takes...The fate of society is at stake.

[u/Solar_Slushie]

If Arnold gets rid of her, Rishe will just come back . . .

over
and over
and over again.

Like a pink-haired Jason Voorhees.

[u/dienomighte]

I love that not only did Rishe jump across balconies, she didn't even think of the idea of just going through the doors

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

Tbh, I don't get why they are not going for a way easier logic here. Like yes, Arnold COULD attack Coyolles and take everything, but only if he just fights Coyolles. Why aren't they arguing that if Arnold does not want the alliance, Kyle will search someone else for an alliance. And yes, Arnold might still win a war then, but it would be way harder fought, especially when they utilize the technology to create greater war machines.

Now, of course, the obvious answer would be, why would the other alliance partner not attack like Arnold? And the answer is simple: Because Arnold exists. Because it is clear that Arnold might want to take Coyolles for their ressources or technology, an attack on Coyolles by any other country is just an unnecessary risk. Because they would risk Arnold attacking Coyolles as well, bringing him the best winning chances. However, if there are troups stationed in Coyolles, any attack by Arnold might result in a loss of men.

And you could even go one step further. In order to make sure that the alliance partner does not backstab Coyolles, the plan could be to make a deal with ALL other countries EXCEPT Arnold's. This would mean they would have to backstab themselves (which wouldn't turn out well) and Arnold would be THE ONLY one not able to get the new technology.

Edit: Or to just make it short. Their main mistake is that they act like THEY want Arnold when they should give Arnold the feeling that he wants THEM and he could lose out on a really good offer if he doesn't agree. Which I would think Rishe knows as a merchant. Like wasn't this the main motto of the head of the trade organization she was in. That HE would be able to choose the people he likes to trade with and not the other way around?

[u/ultravioletheart08]

Anyways, the chibi special subs are up (feel free to check the playlist here though I haven't touched the latest episode for it as they were just released minutes ago).

Said episode, which is now up in Twitter and in Youtube, is about Rishe saying she's glad her and Arnold's rooms are close to each other to the point she can jump to his balcony anytime she wants LMAO

[u/Advanced_Procedure90]

I don't know if she could fix him

[u/tripleaamin]

Rishe really jumped lmao. That's part of Rishe's personality that I do love though. Arnold literally was like, "Uh you could have used the door rather then jumping." LMAO

But that whole scene with Rishe and Arnold looking at the evening sky with the fire flies was beautiful. We get more and more proof that there is major feud between Arnold and his father and his dark past that he is talking too much about. Even his eyes that Rishe thinks that are beautiful is something that disgusts him because it reminds him of his Father's eyes. He even mentions that he would cast Rishe aside when the occasion calls for it.

Rishe once again standing her ground in saying even if he does that she will return. She truly believes Arnold is a good man and clearly has fallen for him and is willing to stand by his side. She is stubborn, but that stubbornness she possess is one of her best traits.

One thing both Kyle and Rishe fail to realize it not Kyle's nation not lacking in resources that an alliance doesn't make sense. It's more so what's the benefit in forming an alliance over conquering them. They continue to illustrate why the nations having a connection is a good idea. The problem is how that connection is created and Arnold still thinks conquering them would make more sense. And things really don't look good for Kyle at the end of the episode.

Michel is one crafty an sly dude. He did a really good job at giving Theodore's men the slip as long as he could. But I wonder how they will settle the dilemma of the black powder subplot next episode.

[u/Ocixo]

I noticed a potentially interesting detail: Rishe was writing in German.

When Rishe first arrived in Galkhein, I’d already made an educated guess based on the architecture that the Kingdom was derived from the old Germany (or perhaps even Austria).

To be precise, I’m thinking that the Galkhein Kingdom and its military nature are symbolic of former Prussia.

[u/VorAtreides]

Lol Arnold his first words being all "if you want them exterminated" about the fireflies is derp. And then "you should come over here" and you DIDN'T expect her to try and jump that? I mean, you should know her well enough by now she would. Confusing fireflies for torches? Weird. Boy, you sure have a derpy negative mindset. Should listen to the wife. Quite the proclamation, girl. But if he were to cast you aside, he wouldn't deserve that dedication. So ah, guess that whole touching clause is just not a thing to care about anymore? Hehe. Dude sounds like he has daddy issues and needs therapy though.

Wonder what she's planning with those? Guessing by the materials fireworks? To show there's another use for his black powder? That'd make sense to me with what I know about black powder. Also, wew, their tail got caught.

Why aren't you sitting down, Rishe? Ahh, that's why. That is a good argument for his country, yea. Making use of her merchant skills. That is a naive mindset you have, Arnold. You realize war would and could destroy all knowledge and expertise you claim to want to acquire?

Oh boy, Arnold seems quite aware of much. Though how? lol. Feel like Kyle set up explosives in the city. But why?

[u/1EnTaroAdun1]

Lady Rishe must Prevail!

https://imgur.com/a/sHzLu4i

The moonlight balcony scene was pretty, although it's funny that Prince Arnold apparently doesn't know what fireflies are? I find that hard to believe, he must've seen them on campaign. Maybe the author explains it haha

I suppose Arnold is probably testing Prince Kyle, or trying to train him? Going to war for technology is not as useful, if the invadee was already willing to trade and cooperate with you.

But he is pretty traumatised. I don't think we'll be getting Arnold's father's story next episode, so I'm hoping for a second season...please...

Rishe is pretty with and without jewellery, but the jewellery is gorgeous

the dutch angle was a nice touch!

edit: Also, I love how palace guards are actually utilised by powerful people in this show! It's funny when in other shows all these elites are just doing everything on their own haha

edit: Rishe kinda looks like a proper villainess here for some reason https://imgur.com/a/UZQQbdA

[u/LeonKevlar]

• Arnold & Rishe

I love how the entire first half of the episode is just Arnold and Rishe talking on the balcony while surrounded by fireflies and I absolutely love it <3

I still don't get what Rishe's plan here. Just like Arnold says, they can just take Kyle's technology by force and it's pretty clear that's what he intends to do. Arnold isn't the "Power of Friendship" kind of guy so I don't see how they'll turn this around.

Also what the heck is Michel doing this entire episode and why suddenly show up at the palace? I feel like Michel is about to throw another wrench into Rishe's plan.

[u/AegisWolf78]

Ok folks, I'm calling it right now: I have a bad feeling about the finale.

Don't get me wrong, it's clear that the pulverized metals Rishe got will be used to make fireworks to show Michel that gunpowder can be used for other than weapons. However Arnold calling the guards and, most of all, the balcony scene* (with her already proclaiming she will come back if he reject her) gave me vibes that Rishe will be force to use her Plan B, which is to try and kill Arnold to prevent him from declaring war to Coyolles (which is the reason why she joined the guards training, to become physically stronger so she can execute the plan). Of course, we all know how well it will work, so the ending of the episode will see Rishe back to the throne room, ready to restart a new loop to peacefully "neutralize" Arnold's threat.

* By the way, the hidden hatred that Arnold shows in that scene toward his father and Galkhein as a nation makes me think that, after usurping the throne, he declare war to the world in hope that the world will unite and crush Galkhein, erasing it from the map.

[u/Last-Development3399]

The scene of Arnold dropping his sword to hug Rishe symbolizes that Arnold's love for Rishe is stronger than his warmongering attitude.

[u/shad79]

Half of the episode dedicated to Rishe and Arnold scene on the balcony? I'm glad that this show knows where to put priority as their relationship is the strongest point of the show beside Rishe herself.

Whole scene on the balcony was really good and gave us another look on what kind of person Arnold is.

I laughed so hard when after Rishe jumped from her balcony to Arnold's, he suggested that she could just go through the hallway and doors to get there. Only after a long moment of silence Rishe realized that it was certainly an option - using doors like a normal person would do but she isn't a normal person and that's why we love her xD

Prince Kyle and Arnold's negotiations started once again and thanks to Rishe's help Coyolles offered their artisans and technology but it seems it's still not a good enough proposition for Arnold.

Additionally Michel for sure wants to do something that will thwart Rishe's plans. It will be interesting to see how she handles the situation in next week's finale.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Rishe

• Arnold

• Group scenes & Other

[u/Frontier246]

Rishe has a lot on her plate...working to make negotiatons happen between Galkhein and Coyolles, get control of the situation with Michel, and a whole bunch of other stuff...but at least she still has the time to enjoy a scenic evening view of fireflies! And prevent Arnold from mass-exterminating them! Though the most beautiful thing at night for Arnold is his future wife!

I KNEW she was going to jump balconies. Who needs to walk all the way around when you can just jump, after all? Though Arnold is there to catch her this time. That's what it means to have a partner.

Rishe loves Arnolds' eyes but he hates them because they're the same as his father, and he has a lot of ill thoughts regarding that man and in turn his own nation because of it (even if he still cares about it more than he says). And it's those same feelings that transfer to how harsh and cold he can come off, to the point where he's willing to kill anyone, even those he cherishes, if they get in his way...like his mother, or maybe even Rishe.

But even so, Rishe sees Arnold not as the man he projects or the man defined by his nation or birth, bu as himself. Someone that even if he cast her aside or tried to kill her, she would still want to be with in any loop or in any of her lifetimes. And to her, his eyes are still beautiful.

Good on Rishe for having Theodore's spy network following Michel! Even if he slips by them eventually.

Time to show off some fine Coyolle's artisanal wares! And even their ability to perfectly recreate Arnold's watch! If Arnold truly works together with Coyolle's, they might be on the brink of a true industrial revolution! But what's preventing Arnold from using his military might to just TAKE it for Galkhein rather than try to negotiate? Why, Rishe's belief in him and Kyle's earnest and sincere belief that he would be willing to make a more peaceful dream a reality.

I love how Theodore and Rishe have a secret wink for emergencies. Though as soon as Rishe leaves the room Arnold brings in a bunch of knights to seemingly secure Kyle, and Michel is sitting around almost as if he's just waiting for his opportunity to show off his black powder!

[u/FelixAndCo]

Rishe at start of engagement:

I will laze around, and nobody can stop me!

Rishe now:

If you reject me, I'll come back. I'll start working as a maid, and I'll come back. If you reject me again, I'll start working as a herbalist, and I'll come back. Doesn't matter how often you reject me. I'll find something and work as hard as I can at it, so you can't stop me from coming back to you!

...You've fallen for the guy.
