LADY SEYMOUR!
WHAT'S THE MATTER, LADY MILAINE?
WELL...
ARE THINGS ALL RIGHT WITH HIS HIGHNESS THESE DAYS?
THE KING SEEMS TO BE DISCREETLY LOOKING INTO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH PRINCE NOAH.
BUT I DON'T THINK HIS INTENTIONS ARE GOOD.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
MY FATHER WORKS AT THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, YOU SEE.
YOU KNOW HOW THINGS ARE BECAUSE OF THE INCIDENT IN POLIA, RIGHT?
SO MY FATHER SAID HIS MAJESTY SEEMS TO BE PLANNING TO CHANGE PUBLIC SENTIMENT BY MARRYING OFF PRINCE NOAH.
HE SUSPECTS THAT HIS MAJESTY MIGHT BE CONSIDERING A MARRIAGE WITH ANOTHER ROYAL FAMILY.
OH MY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
IT CAN'T BE.
LADY SEYMOUR?!
I CAN'T ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN!
MY LADY? ISN'T IT TOO EARLY FOR YOU TO LEAVE?
HURRY...
FOLLOW PRINCE NOAH!
KEEP THIS IN MIND, LADY SEYMOUR.
IF YOU WISH TO CAPTIVATE PRINCE NOAH...
...YOU MUST HAVE THE RESOLVE TO LET HIM GO AT ANY TIME.
THE MOMENT YOU LOSE THAT ATTITUDE, THE PRINCE WILL TIRE OF YOU.
THAT WILL BE THE END.
WELCOME BACK, YOUR HIGHNESS.
DISPOSE OF THIS.
WAIT, YOUR HIGHNESS!
THE RESULTS OF ALLOWING THIS WOMAN INTO THE CLUB WERE NOT TOO BAD.
HOWEVER, IF SHE COMES TO MY HOME AT THIS HOUR, THAT'S A DIFFERENT MATTER.
AS IF I WASN'T ALREADY IN A BAD MOOD...
GOOD EVENING, YOUR--
ENOUGH WITH THE FORMALITIES. GET TO THE POINT.
IF YOUR POINT IS JUST AS MEANINGLESS AS THE FORMALITIES, THEN DON'T EVEN BOTHER SAYING IT.
I MADE IT CLEAR THAT I WON'T BE CONCERNED WITH YOUR REPUTATION.
YET YOU CHOSE TO VISIT ME AT THIS HOUR...
...AND TRAMPLE WHAT LITTLE REMAINS OF MY OWN HONOR.
RATHER INCONVENIENT, DON'T YOU THINK?
OR DID YOU PERHAPS WISH TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH ME?
THERE'S A PROBLEM.
THE RUMORS SPREAD TOO FAR, AND I'M NOT GETTING ANY MARRIAGE PROPOSALS ANYMORE.
YOUR POINT IS?
SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR YOUR HAND IN MARRIAGE, YOUR HIGHNESS.
YOU'RE SICK AND TIRED OF ATTENDING SOCIAL EVENTS, AREN'T YOU?
IF I MANAGE TO GET RID OF THEM, PLEASE MARRY ME.
IN RETURN, I WOULD LIKE A TOKEN OF OUR PROMISE.
COULD YOU GIVE ME THE SILVER OBJECT YOU ALWAYS KEEP WITH YOU?
YOU TOOK THE TROUBLE TO LOOK INTO SOMETHING SO TRIVIAL?
MS. BETTY.
I WAS GOING TO DISPOSE OF IT, BUT SINCE YOU WANT IT, YOU MAY TAKE IT.
BUT I WON'T HAVE ANY MORE NONSENSE ABOUT TOKENS AND SUCH.
LET THIS CONCLUDE OUR SHORT COOPERATION.
AH...!
SEE THE LADY OFF, MS. BETTY.
WHAT A NIGHT.
POLDER, HEROLINGTON UNIVERSITY
IF YOUR COURSE IS CANCELED NEXT SEMESTER AS WELL, YOUR CONTRACT WILL BE TERMINATED.
YES, I KNOW.
THE STUDENTS OF HEROLINGTON WERE TOO PROUD TO TAKE A CLASS TAUGHT BY OLIVIA LIBERTY.
AND SO HER FIRST CLASS...
...WAS CANCELED.
YOU'LL GET YOUR PAY DURING THE CONTRACT TERM, THOUGH,
SO COME TO THE OFFICE.
YES, SIR. THANK YOU.
WHAT GOOD IS EARNING EXCELLENT GRADES AND BECOMING AN ADJUNCT PROFESSOR?
NO ONE WILL TAKE MY CLASS.
THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE.
IF THE COURSE IS CANCELED AGAIN, I'LL LOSE MY PLACE HERE AS WELL...
WHAT MORE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
Lady Milaine warns Lady Seymour that the King is investigating her relationship with Prince Noah and, after the Polia incident, plans to marry him off to another royal family to change public reaction. Shaken, Seymour rushes after Prince Noah and comes to his house at night to propose marriage. Noah is cold, gives her the silver object he always carries, and ends their cooperation. Meanwhile, Olivia Liberty's first lecture at Herolington is canceled due to student indifference, and she faces the danger of losing her position.
