| Jesus Christ, Elise once again thrown into a pressure situation when Ron's father apparently goes down after taking a drink. Of course, fingers are pointed at who "poisoned" him. I just wish they gave Elise's special moment rather than always putting her into life and death operations. Then again, this is part of the show's theme so it makes sense. She's really come a long way. |
 |
| By the Order of the Imperial Rose and the Romanoff royal family through Winchester, Elise becomes the first woman to be crowned knighthood. But what about her physician exam...better conquer that first. The ceremony goes like usual, though Winchester experienced a sudden heart attack that puts Elise on high alert. Thankfully, he's still able to have a pulse, but the danger is not over yet as his condition is still worse, and Linden is taken in for interrogation as the last person giving his own father a celebratory cup. Still, within the council, there're still doubts about Elise's capability, and to make matters worse, Mikhail assumes testament of order until evidence is proven. Clearly, from behind the scenes, there's a clear divide between the House of Child and the noble faction against the Romanoff faction, and this is something that not even Elise can pinpoint due to her panic attack and unclear mindset. Furthermore, with the rumours going along well for the nobles, Elise, Linden and the royal family are in shambles if Winchester's condition gets worse, not to mention Elise being a clear threat to the nobles. Elise can escape life and death, but the physician's exam will be clearly rushed for the finale next week. |

| Wow things went bad very quickly for Elise and the emperor I hope the emperor can be saved and Elise and Prince Linden are not murdered. |
| Oh yeah, that exam they talked about ages ago? Still hasn't happened. I bet she'll pass it in the finale and everything will be perfect. Also, where are most of the guards in the tower where Linden is being held? |

Call me evil but I'm actually glad this incident happen. I want to spice things up for a long time and this seems to be the injection that I need to make it happen. Also, I'm interest in what will happen if Elise die again, will she reincarnate into our world again? Could this be infinite loop that she can't escape?
phantomfandom said: Call me evil but I'm actually glad this incident happen. I want to spice things up for a long time and this seems to be the injection that I need to make it happen. Agreed. It's great that they set up an actual medical mystery that isn't solved in an instant and has some obstacles to even conduct the investigation. Not to mention personal and political stakes. But it's bizarre that people are buying the story that Linden walked up to the king and fed him poison at a public event. Really? Why would he kill him in that way, and how would he have gotten away with it? To quote Game of Thrones, when a fancy dagger used in an assassination attempt casts suspicion on its nobleman owner: "What sort of imbecile arms an assassin with his own blade?" Even dumber are the two goobers who go after Elise. What would killing her achieve? Their own side is spinning the story that Elise is trying to help her fiancee get away with murder. If she turns up dead, wouldn't that cast some doubt to that story? If her doctor skills were such a big threat, they could pull some strings to restrict Elise's access to the king and even install one of their own people as "an independent investigator". If they wanted to kill anyone, they should've staged an assassination attempt on Mikhail (but not actually kill him, of course). That would have given more weight to the theory that Linden has gone insane and is trying to eliminate anyone who's a threat, even his father and his brother. Maybe all of this will be pointed out in the next episode, but as always the way the story progresses feels... weird. |
| well its gonna have a bobastic end anyway this anime was just a mellow drama with reverse isekai isekai as its plot point dont have much to say about it expect change the dam crown prince model i always confuse him because of his black hair |
 |
| ...and now, Deus Ex Machina incoming. Oh and at first I confused Elise with that woman from 7th Time loop and thought she could easily take care of the situation herself haha :D |
| Man Elise looked so damn gorgeous at the ball 😩 😍 shame it had to end abruptly with a poisoning attempt on the king. The red flags were definitely there when he started talking about this not being a hospital and telling her to focus on the event, but man wasn’t expecting him to have a heart attack like that. What’s wild to me is people suspecting Linden of being the culprit. Why would he try to kill his own dad in public like that? Makes no sense. Even if he wanted to usurp the throne surely it would be done in secrecy or he’d have someone else do it. I wasn’t expecting Elise and Linden first meeting after the fire to be in a jail cell, but here we are. Cute moment with her promising to save his dad. Doctor Graham is right about her having to take care of herself though. You can’t care for a patient if you’re not being cared for yourself, Elise has to calm down and lock in. But she can’t even do that because here comes another assassination attempt lol. The noble faction going after Elise doesn’t really make any sense because surely the fiance of the crown prince and a renowned physician being killed would draw attention? What’s the point in killing her 🤦🏽♂️wonder who came to save her at the end there. I am glad we got a mystery like this though, it shakes up the formula and makes things more interesting. Not only does Elise have to save the king, but find out who poisoned him and bring them to justice. A lot to solve in the finale. |

| wow what an episode the king had an heart attack and people suspect Linden, i mean, taking into account the moment it happened, it makes sense lol even Elise can't think of a possible cause to this problem with the prince being locked away and with elise trying to save the king, ofc there are some bad guys who don't want her to save him, so that the 2nd prince can become the emperor holy shit, that cliffhanger tho, i imagine that someone managed to block that hit, maybe the prince left the tower somehow... but wow 1 episode left, and what an interesting anime so far, can't wait to see what's left |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| That was a huge cliffhanger |
| Scary episode for Elise. 😭😖🥺 |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Bad timing for a heart attack...for the crown prince that is, since he's being suspected of assasination. I personally wouldn't have minded if he kicked the bucket, repercussions aside. It could have just been unlucky, or the person who stands to gain the most out of this, the noble's faction under the younger prince. The "poisoning" perp is unknown at the moment, but one thing is for certain, and that is the nobles' faction needs to be purged for their attempted murder of Elise. Juliane can stay though...but her family and family's vassals need to die. Last episode next week. I hope they wrap this up and have Elise achieve her goal of formally becoming a doctor, and have her engagement annulled as she planned. Going by other commenters, it seems to be going for an anime-original ending. Maybe I'll read the webtoon after that. |
| Of course that will happen, Emperor just giving himself a "Death Flag" after saying "It would be nice if days like today could continue forever." Nahh not that Nasty Cliffhanger... WTF |
 |
| didn't she learn any self-defense moves when she lived on earth before being reincarnated back? her being so helpless like that when we know she came from a world where women learned how to defend themselves just makes her seem lame to me. she couldn't have just studied to become a doctor even before she was reincarnated back in time. |

| @perseii this whole episode is just bad adaptation on some manga events, in my opinion. And in the manga they explain they want to harm Elise because she's incredibly popular among the people, so as long as she lives Linden will have their support too. The choices of adaptation in the anime are pointing towards not having a second season at all, since these events all happen much much later in the manga. Which is a pity, since I think the most interesting arcs are all after Elise takes the exam. Such a shame. |

| @LeenPhoenixRae what do you mean? I'm a woman in this world and if two crazy guys came at me with 2 gigantic swords I'd be done for. There's no way, even if one took self defense classes. Self defense classes are thought considering unharmed opponents, or armed with knifes or guns, not long swords that would largely increase the range of the attacker by at least 1 arm's length. And Elise devoted her whole life at being a doctor, no reason to learn self defense. |

Dayan said: And in the manga they explain they want to harm Elise because she's incredibly popular among the people, so as long as she lives Linden will have their support too. That would make a little more sense, actually. Why didn't the anime mention this? (Or at least I haven't caught it) But even then, it wouldn't make much sense to have her killed, while she is still liked by the people. It would be better to just make her less popular, through gossip and other underhanded tactics, so that people would no longer care about what Elise has to say. If that's too difficult or takes too long, they can have her killed in "an accident", not by straight-up stabbing her... I actually forgot about the medical exam, since recently I've only seen Elise busy with other stuff, like Ron, the knighthood, the engagement, chilling with Julianne, etc. It does feel like there's too much going on that could have easily taken place after she passed the exam. I think you're right that this is not getting a Season 2, at least for now, from the way they're having Elise save His Majesty's life, exonerate the crown prince AND fend off assassins. But then, I don't see how they'll "end" the series on a decent note in a single episode next week. |

| damn yoo what a cliffhanger !!! this is so so interesting |
| Who's going to save her? Linden? Mikhail? |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
By the Order of the Imperial Rose and the Romanoff royal family through Winchester, Elise becomes the first woman to be crowned knighthood. They're trying to crown her as the Empress (King) to began with... I don't think becoming knighthood is really that much achievement, lol. (basically becoming a CEO vs becoming a manager) She's basically just being promoted so they can dump the Empress title to her later down the line as an excuse of saying it's due to all her achievements. . (also, oh, this series was a webtoon... no wonder I don't remember the series, I only read manga, didn't read webtoons cause they used to have the stupid 1000 foot long line where you have to scroll down constantly to read... most sites changed it to have page layout, but it also makes some webtoons weird cause some of them weren't suppose to be read from page layout, so things get awkward cut-offs, lol) . Anyways... yea... I was wondering why she was suddenly given the promotion... when last episode was just her having a "date" with Fake Prince... cause they skipped content in order to end this soon... huh... (especially since it looks like everyone knows Elise is Rose... when only a few people (the higher ups) knew, they didn't reveal Elise was Rose to the public yet) Tho some series has done this before and used the skipped content later as flashbacks. . Huh... the King gets "poisoned"... feels like "fate" is trying to claim the King, since he's suppose to already be dead from diabetes, before Elise saved his life. I guess the King may actually have other illness that Elise didn't know about cause the King died early in her past life and this illness hasn't claimed the King before he died of Diabetes. Or the "poison" is something new that isn't even on "Earth" that Elise knows about. . Meanwhile... the "nobles" are trying to kill Elise so she can't go save the King. Exactly why do the nobles want to kill the king... I have no idea... we didn't see anything about the nobles complaining about the king from before... BTW, I am pretty sure the Prince is still house-locked... so he can't come save Elise, someone else is most likely going to. It would make no sense for the Prince to go save Elise, unless he has super human hearing and breaks down walls... |

| She's a little on the dumb side. There's a guarded tower right there and instead of screaming for help and running towards the tower you run into a wooded area and hide. oook. If there was only that 1 guard, he wasn't that far away. There had to be another room with a door she could lock or barricade herself in even if the Prince is locked up and for some reason I don't think he is. |

| @perseii Yeah I agree with you. I'd been waiting for her to die to see if she'd be in the hospital in Japan and think going back was a hallucination or something. I truly don't think she's about to be killed. I don't think Linden's room is locked. He's probably being held on his honor. As such, I won't be surprised if he saves her next week. I thought someone would point out Linden would have nothing to gain by attempting to kill his father so publicly but Mihail would. From jump I never trusted the king's aide either. The guy with the long straight black hair. I forget his name. I thought doofus 1 & 2 were trying to kill Elise because they didn't want her to save the King. I did see the response about her popularity. They really screwed up adapting that. |
| She did a triple bypass in Germany or something like that. Shouldn't she immediately know what the issue is? At least they're finally humbling her Watch it be an embolism. |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| The event I wanted to happen to the king, but I'm sure he'll survive unfortunately for the prince's sake. I'm sure there are people who will say the king is kind, but he is only kind when it fits his interests. He has no problem spitting all over Elise's resolve and their wager if it means he will get what he wants in the end, which proves he is not honorable. The event itself definitely played out in a stupid manner. Is it normal for a prince to go up to the king and serve drinks himself? It was such an unnatural turn of events. Also, if they found no trace of poison on the cup, doesn't that already confirm that it wasn't poison? I don't know why it would even still be up for discussion. Also the two clown nobles trying to assassinate Elise is like the dumbest thing you can do in their position. Why do shows always like to ruin things in their last arc of the season? Also, while I understand the show is trying to raise the stakes for Elise, it makes no sense that she would be the one to judge the cause of the heart attack to begin with when the king's physician is not even her, not to mention her own conflicting interest regarding her position to the crown prince as pointed out by the noble faction themselves, any answer she comes up with can just be dismissed as "she made it up to defend her fiancé" can't it? Of course the press wreaks havoc like always. I don't know why they are never held responsible for printing blatant lies. It's a problem in the anime, just like in reality. |
| those two are really dumb :D how can they try to frame linded for poisoning his father if they go and kill clorence? if they try to frame that on linden as well i have no clue how you possibly could explain why he would kill his father and his fiance |

| The events of episode 11 are kind of hard for me to comment on. Poisoning? Seriously? Check the glass, the bottle and the stomach contents? So it wasn't meant to be. Doctors say it's not poisoning. The Emperor is in hospital. There are plenty of other doctors there. Besides, aristocrats know poisons and their effects, at least remotely. I can hardly imagine a poison that would cause such a reaction. I was particularly puzzled by the coughing up of blood. They love that shit in anime. If a character doesn't cough up blood, they're not hurt and they're healthy. And what a fantastic scene at the end... How they want to chop her up, but they can't? A couple of men lose sight of a woman in a pink dress with a huge skirt who is standing a metre away from them... She also seems to be running faster... So fast they can't even see her... A couple of men with sabres, acting like bots in a game. Swing sabre, animation continues, do nothing else, can't see. Animation is over. Oh! No hit. She's running away! Don't talk about the fog. They could see her, they could run towards her, and then they turned their eyes off. |
| Like so many mid-tier anime, this one reduced Elise to a sobbing mess by the end, undoing all her character growth for the sake of cheap theatrics and shallow plot twists. Forcing in this drama really killed my enjoyment. Even Prince Linden, who was strong up until now, is suddenly shown as helpless and panicky at the last moment. We’re already on episode 11, and the medical exam still hasn’t happened. The show had some real strengths, but it feels like they’ve been tossed aside for a rushed, disappointing finish. |
