In Episode 11, the plot primarily unfolds in the Duke's villa, with the interactions between Raeliana and Noah taking center stage.
The episode begins with Raeliana observing Noah practicing swordsmanship. Their conversation highlights the contrast between Noah's bureaucratic duties and his swordsmanship skills. Later, Noah suggests an amusing activity to Raeliana: she should call Grace, the local jeweler. While Raeliana is initially confused, Noah's intention becomes clear when they visit Grace's shop. Despite their playful banter about their respective fictional fiancés, Noah buys all the jewelry in the store, including the "Mermaid's Tear," a coveted piece that was auctioned at the Devassa auction.
Back at the villa, the servants are given time off for Thanksgiving, leaving Noah and Raeliana alone. However, their peaceful day is interrupted by Haley, a maid, who warns Raeliana about a haunted mirror in the west wing of the estate. Intrigued by the rumor that the spirit in the mirror can answer any question, Raeliana visits the mirror in the middle of the night to ask about Beatrice, the original heroine of her story. During her visit, she is startled by a voice from the mirror that confirms the rumor.
When Raeliana returns to her room, she encounters Noah, who seems worried about her. To help her sleep, Noah offers to stay in her room, leading to a lighthearted discussion about a romance novel Raeliana has been reading. The night ends with both of them sharing the same bed.
The next day, Noah's older brother, Naomi O'Brian, returns from a mission and visits the bedridden king. During their conversation, it becomes apparent that Noah's engagement to Raeliana is a hot topic. Naomi's remark about the upcoming end of the political session triggers Raeliana's memory of Beatrice's expected appearance at the Wynknight family grave. The episode ends with Raeliana speculating that her engagement to Noah might soon be dissolved.
