Original subtitles

Turning the love of women into money...

That was how I always did things.

All the women who were dazzled by my status

and came to court me...

Jake Langston's little sister was one of them.

But...

Unlike the other women,

she tried to take her own life in hopes of saving my soul.

All I did was try to stop her!

What are you doing?! Stop!

N-No... I didn't do this!

Do you...

have money?

Yeah, I guess a guy who tricks a woman into financially supporting him

probably wouldn't have money, huh?

Get yourself engaged to that woman.

Her name's Raeliana McMillan.

She's nothing special, just a baron's daughter,

but she's one of those "nouveau riche."

And what am I supposed to do once I'm engaged to her?

Relax. After you've done it once,

the second time is no big deal.

Right, Francis Brooks?

It's not my fault!

I just had bad luck!

All because I chose that woman...

Damn it!

There's no...

going back now.

Where am I?

You're awake now?

And how are you feeling, Miss McMillan?

Wh-Who are you?

I remember... going to the ball,

and getting close to Marquess Eriteal's wife because Noah asked me to...

And then, smoke started filling the room...

Was I abducted?!

There's only one person who'd do something like this.

Francis Brooks!

That absolute coward!

What's wrong? Can't even speak?

Come any closer, and I'll scream!

Someone help me!

Hello! Is anyone out there?! Please!

Scream all you want.

Someone!

Nobody's gonna come for you.

Someone... Someone help me!

I've been abducted! There's a kidnapper here!

Please! Is anyone out there?! Please!

There's really nobody around?

It'd be smarter of you to just keep quiet.

So long as you do as I say, I'll be nice to you.

Don't think you can kidnap the beloved fiancée of Duke Wynknight

and get away with it!

Not that I have any love for him, either.

You don't seem to understand the situation you're in.

You're the one who doesn't understand!

You won't get any money out of killing me here.

Is that supposed to be a threat?

Are you trying to keep me from doing anything to you?

So basically, as long as you're still alive, anything goes?

No! If he ruins my face...

I'm shorry.

Say what?

I shaid... I'm shorry.

What the hell, girl?

You're actually kinda cute!

Then can you just let me go home now?

You just stay right there and keep quiet.

You don't want your precious face to be hurt right before you get married, do you?

He's serious.

He'll really kill me if it comes down to it.

Between this guy and Brooks...

Seems like I'm surrounded by horrible people.

Hey.

Why are you doing this?

You can at least tell me that much, can't you?

My little sister died.

Sophie died because of him.

Isn't it natural to avenge the death of a family member?

Are you saying...

Lord Brooks killed your sister?

Yeah, pretty much.

Your sister...

Your sister wouldn't want you to do this!

What?

If she knew her brother was sullying his own hands to avenger her...

It would make your sister in heaven so sad!

So please... stop this foolishness!

Did you actually think platitudes like that would convince me?

It'd make my sister sad?

As long as I get my money, I don't give a shit about that!

Nobles think they can solve any problem as long as they have their status.

What a bunch of idiots.

He's a great example!

The eldest son of the Brooks family,

getting involved in crime for the sake of money.

Money is all that really matters in this world!

Giving my sister a nice grave is what would really make her happy!

She's already dead, after all!

It's no use.

Nothing I say to him will do any good.

Platitudes like those only work in books and movies.

Besides, I'm not even the protagonist of this story.

Wh-What the...

Langston!

What happened?

A wheel broke.

What?

A landslide, huh?

We'll ditch the carriage and head into the woods, then.

You keep an eye on the woman.

What in the world happened?

Francis Brooks...

If you had just been a good girl and married me,

everything would have gone smoothly.

If we had gotten married, would you have let me live?

I know you wanted to kill me.

You planned to kill me by putting arsenic in my evening tea, didn't you?

How... do you...

Raeliana!

Hey! What the hell are you doing?!

She's as quick as a damn mouse!

What in the world is going on?

I don't want to die.

I'm scared. Someone help me.

I want to go home.

Wait, no! Stop!

Why am I setting my own death flags here?!

If I keep this up, I'll just be some side character who randomly croaks!

I have to keep it together! I can't die here!

Taylor!

You saved me!

Those red eyes...

You must be the famous Adam Taylor.

It's such an honor to meet you.

Wh-What's going on here?

I will handle this.

Is he awaiting my orders?

Master Taylor, have him—

My name is Jake Langston. I'm 27 years old.

As I said earlier, my younger sister's already dead,

and my mother was left to live alone on our land, drowning in debt.

Where'd all that come from?

The debt's so deep that even if we sold the land and our status,

it wouldn't be enough to repay it.

Even my mother, who grew up a noble and never wanted for anything,

will have to work until the day she dies.

If I'm apprehended now, I'll probably be imprisoned for life.

I doubt they'd execute me, since I'm a noble myself.

So yeah, go ahead and kill me if you think you can!

But unlike that murderer there, I bet you'll never be able to forget me

or my mother, either.

Don't call Master Taylor a murderer!

Oh, come on. That's not the important part here, is it?

Everything he says is so infuriating!

But... he's exactly right.

If I kill him here, I'll never get over the guilt.

And I don't want to give Adam orders to kill anyone.

Master Taylor, would it be possible to capture him alive?

Didn't expect them to track me down this quickly.

No choice now, I guess.

Hah! Didn't take you long to show up!

Wh-What the heck is this?!

It's a secret drug that lures monsters.

Wasn't expecting it to bag me a mountain monkfish, though.

Even Adam Taylor won't have an easy time with a monster like that.

Master Taylor! There's a cliff behind us!

Why...

I want to tell Adam to get away as quickly as he can, but I...

This feeling of being pushed off the edge in the darkness...

I recognize this.

This feeling...

I'm going to end up dead this time, too?

Noah?

Raeliana...

Hang on! Put me down right now!

Just hold still.

Master Taylor is in danger!

Adam is?

We have to hurry!

But... how is he so calm right now?

Looks like he made quite the show of it.

So this isn't even unusual to the people of this world?

A monster like this?

It's so hard...

It feels like a rock.

And he took it down so easily?

And you let them go?

If only I hadn't hesitated,

Jake Langston would have been apprehended for sure.

My lady!

Dame Ansley!

You aren't hurt, are you?

No. I'm sorry for worrying you.

Anyway, is that...

Yes.

We found him on the road, and he fled the moment he saw us.

Th-That's him!

He was working with Francis Brooks to abduct me!

We were right to capture him.

Each of you will search your assigned areas.

Inform me the moment you locate Francis Brooks.

Right!

Thank... you.

A gun?

There he is!

Francis Brooks.

R-Raeliana...

This is all your fault.

Y-You've got it all wrong!

Please, hear me out!

What have I got wrong?

W-Wait!

If you had just been a good girl and married me,

everything would have gone smoothly.

If you hadn't been thinking about marrying me,

everything would have gone smoothly.

Ah, I feel so much better!

I almost want to take a picture to remember this!

Now he'll be in the slammer for life!

That weight is finally off my chest!

I'm actually pretty good with a gun...

Being short on horses really shouldn't be an excuse to ride double.

Noah, this horse seems to be moving a lot slower than it should.

I wonder whose fault that is.

Damn it!

People I Hate Most

Noah Voltaire Wynknight

I hate you!

Noah...

Thank you... for coming to find me.

You're welcome.

All I did was thank him. Why do I feel so embarrassed?

I'm suddenly so sleepy...

But I can't... fall asleep here...

Why... did I feel so angry?

The death of a woman who has dirt on me

should be a good thing for me.

So why?

Adam.

I want you...

to get rid of them.

Morning already?

I wanna sleep a little longer...

You're awake now?
