Episode 6: Rishe shows her bad side! Watch 7th Time Loop - The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! on Crunchyroll! got.cr/cc-7tlt...
Rishe Irmgard Weitzner, a duke's daughter, has a secret: she died at the age of 20 and returned to the moment five years prior when her engagement was called off. She has already experienced this time loop six times and lived out those five years a different way each time, as a merchant, a doctor, a maid, a knight, and more. Now, on her seventh go-around, she's determined to live to a ripe old age and spend it relaxing. But the moment she flees the castle with that decision in her heart, she runs into the infamously cruel crown prince of a rival kingdom, Arnold Hein. He happens to be the one who killed her during her life as a knight, but now, he seems to have taken a bizarre liking to her... and begs her to become his wife. Thus, in order to stay alive and prevent a war, Rishe utilizes her previous experiences to kick off her seventh life as the bride of an enemy nation's crown prince.

I love this scene so much. Between the delivery of the speech, Rishe's proficiency with the dagger, and the way she didnt pull punches for anyone without killing a single one of them (might be a little skeptical of the fate for that last guy, though), it's brilliant. Also gotta love how this is the first instance we've seen where Rishe shows that she can get just as dark as her soon to be husband can be. 😂 Last note: does anyone else think its a shame that Arnold didnt get to see her skills in person? He obviously has no doubt in her skills, but imagine his face if he got to see what she can do up close. It would have been PRICELESS.

I have a feeling that Rishe knows what "imprisoning someone" means because this happened (to her or she witnessed it) in one of her previous lives, and it's freaking me out. If I'm not mistaken, there wasn't much info about her 5th life so far, so what happened?! Also, Arnold is so used to being surprised by Rishe that he didn't even question if she could escape, he just knew she would.

[@-_a_single_flame_in_the_ni5467]

[@zomfgroflmao1337]

'So, you imprisoned her in an upper floor room with a window, in a wooden house, with a locked door, and some guards outside?' She arrives, and his first guess is 'Did you jump out the window?', second is 'Did you punch a hole in the wall?' and she goes like 'I walked out the door like a normal person!'. Arnold really lost this bingo, as we can see her choosing the door and the guards, instead of window or wall. Also, the animation is super clean, and it is cool to see her only using non-lethal means.

[@annapatterson2437]

Like a normal person😆😆 and then the flashbacks of her dominating her way to the door- taking out 1 guard after another.

[@lovetobe6118]

Up to this point she only had used windows to exit places like jumping off of a balcony, sneaking out of the palace where she was supposedly a hostage fiance, etc,... To him she was always sneaking out so logically he would assume she would do the sneaking out method because it is technically the easiest. He doesn't know the true extent of her combat skills and that she would feel comfortable enough to take on multiple guards outside of the door. So logically speaking the window was the most logical answer, but then that's another reason why he fell for her... She isn't predictable. She doesn't take the path of least resistance.
