The fantasy anime is all about Princess Rishe, who wants to find happiness in her seventh life. But there’s a big twist she finds out that the person she’s supposed to marry was actually her assassin in a past life.
This creates a lot of chaos and trouble for her. In the earlier episodes, we see Rishe becoming close to Prince Arnold.
They bond over sword fighting, with help from her old teacher turned alchemist, Michel. At the same time, Arnold is busy negotiating for military support with Kyle.
Rishe is on a journey to happiness, but her past and present are mixing up in unexpected ways, making things really complicated
Recap
In Episode 10 of “7th Time Loop,” called “A Sweetly Fragrant Cigarette Is Lit,” Michel wants to talk to Arnold about alchemy. It seems like he wants to deepen their understanding in this area.
Meanwhile, Rishe is dealing with a lot of inner conflict. The upcoming war is making her feel uneasy and uncertain about her safety and the progress she’s made.
This struggle shows in her training, where she’s finding it hard to focus because of her fears about the coming conflict.
Lawvine opens up to Rishe, sharing the heartbreaking story of losing his son in a past war. This adds a lot of weight to the seriousness of the situation they’re facing.
As Arnold watches Rishe dealing with her struggles, he recognizes her but decides not to tell Lawvine who she really is. Instead, he privately talks to Rishe.
He finds some amusement in her difficult situation but allows her to keep training, as long as she follows strict rules of secrecy.
While talking with Kyle, Rishe learns more about Arnold’s complicated character. She discovers that he’s willing to do some harsh things if he believes it’s for the greater good.
This is shown in how he ended conflicts quickly in the past. Feeling encouraged by this new insight, Rishe decides to team up with Kyle. This alliance could lead to some interesting developments.
At the same time, Michel shares with Rishe his idea to sell his invention, the explosive Black Powder, to Arnold for the war effort. He doesn’t know that this caused trouble between them in a previous life.
As Rishe feels more and more desperate, she turns to Theodore for help. She appeals to his playful and mischievous side, hoping he’ll assist her.
While all this is happening, Michel is thinking about his past. He’s struggling with the idea that his creations might be causing more harm than good. This makes him question what he’s really meant to do in life.
Expectation
Rishe teaming up with Kyle shows that she’s thinking ahead and making her own plans. Maybe she’s trying to shape her destiny without relying too much on Arnold.
We might see her become even more influential in Episode 11 of 7th Time Loop. Michel’s idea to sell Black Powder to Arnold might cause some serious tensions and conflicts.
This could be especially tricky because of Rishe and Arnold’s shared past and what the Black Powder represents.
Theodore seems pretty amused when Rishe asks for help. This might mean he’s ready to support her in whatever rebellious actions she’s planning. Things are definitely heating up.
