In "7th Time Loop" Episode 4, the protagonist Rishe faces a difficult situation. Despite her previous connection to Aria's Kaine Tully from another life, she is rejected when she asks him for help with her wedding, as his goods are deemed unsuitable for someone of her royal rank. However, Rishe is not discouraged by this setback. She recalls Kaine's hint that he is temporarily staying in the city and devises a plan: she alters her appearance by dyeing her hair to ensure her movements go unnoticed.

In a bold maneuver, Rishe succeeds in outwitting all of Kaine's men and secures a private meeting with him. During their conversation, she skillfully avoids revealing her true intentions and instead proposes a partnership based on mutual benefit rather than a purely business relationship. Kaine is intrigued and agrees to consider her proposal, provided she can present a convincing business plan within a week.

Upon her return, Rishe encounters Prince Arnold, who is concerned for her safety but respects her autonomy. Their interaction reveals a gentler side of Arnold, especially when Rishe attempts to cook for him, highlighting a moment of domestic simplicity amid the complex political and social intrigues surrounding them.

The episode introduces a new, mysterious element in the form of Prince Arnold's younger brother Theodore. When Rishe meets him in her garden, she is surprised by his declaration of wanting to "save" her, hinting at deeper intrigues and family dynamics within the royal household. This interaction leaves Rishe with more questions than answers, particularly regarding the relationship between the princes and the true nature of her situation.

To top it all off, Rishe accidentally discovers Prince Arnold's efforts to mobilize the army to protect the citizens, revealing a side of him that contradicts her previous experiences and perceptions—especially those that led to her downfall in past loops.

The episode concludes with a mysterious invitation leading Rishe to a midnight rendezvous in the chapel. Dressed in mourning attire and anticipating a trap, she is confronted with an unexpected scenario, possibly orchestrated by Théodore.
