In the final episode of the season of "Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion" (Warum Raeliana in der Villa des Herzogs gelandet ist), we witness a subtle climax of the tension that has been building throughout the season. Raeliana, who initially only wanted to survive, has unwittingly altered the course of history and perhaps even the future of this world.

We learn the fate of Robert Wynknight, a character who was originally supposed to become the Duke but tragically died in an accident. His mother, the lady of the Wynknight household, passes the title to her nephew Noah before departing herself. The royal seal is buried in Robert's grave, symbolizing the transfer of authority and serving as a token of power. Raeliana visits this grave on the day before the end of the parliamentary session, hoping to meet Beatrice. To her surprise, Beatrice does not appear. Raeliana can't help but wonder whether her survival has changed history, thereby preventing the anticipated meeting between Noah and Beatrice.

Meanwhile, Noah considers breaking off his engagement to Raeliana, as the political tensions have eased and there no longer seems to be a reason for a contractual marriage. However, Noah decides against it and reveals that he still has a task for Raeliana to fulfill as his fiancée.

Plagued by doubts and guilt, Raeliana encounters a stranger at the cemetery who was a friend of Robert's. They share a drink and engage in a deep conversation about love, responsibility, and fate. The stranger's words leave a profound impression on Raeliana and encourage her to take control of her life and relationships.

Raeliana falls ill, likely due to drinking and being underdressed for the weather. When she returns home, Noah finds her in a weakened state and carries her to her room. In her delirium, Raeliana confronts Noah about their relationship, culminating in a shared kiss.

The next morning, Raeliana wakes up, her fever gone. Despite the predicted end of her life, she is still alive, hinting at how her survival may have altered the course of history. When Raeliana meets Noah, an awkward moment ensues. She can no longer recall the details of the previous night and fears she may have behaved inappropriately while drunk. Noah's response is ambiguous, leaving Raeliana confused.

The finale ends ambiguously, raising questions about the future actions of the characters and the consequences of their past decisions.
