Chapter 26 (1/2)

(I said this in a different page, but I’m going to say it again…

Long ago, I asked the first translator if I could help translate this story because they seemed kind of busy and I wanted to give back to the translating j.a.panese novel community.

Well, I never got an answer…. so I kind of translated it anyways?

BUT I NEED HELP.

If you like this story and you know a bit of j.a.panese, PLEASE, reach out to me by email and we can translate this together! I am currently (very slowly, I REPEAT, VERY SLOWLY) in the process of memorizing Kanji and learning j.a.panese all together. I am more of an editor, to be honest, as English is my first language… [Well, my English isn't really the greatest…]

Do help me! I like this webnovel and I wish to see it continue being translated!)

Raws:

Edit: I made some changes with the help of Kiriko (See their comment for what was changed)! I thank this kind human for the help!

*Leonhart's POV*

The sunrise (morning sun) was dazzling.

I stayed up all night to scan over the necessary doc.u.ments I needed for the day.

Today was the day the Prince would arrive from Orania.

When I don't sleep, it is a figure that should not be shown. I sat down in the chair and closed my eyes.

The door to the office was knocked on intensely, so it instantly woke me up. Convinced that this was Kristoff's knocking, I allowed his entry.

”Good morning, Your Majesty. Without delay, Princess Shane has arrived at the Royal Palace a short while ago. I would like to reaffirm the upcoming schedule, is that alright?”

Oh, the Prince… Now that you mention it, it's ”Princess”.

I felt apologetic to the Princess, but while I was interested in Orania's economy, I didn't hold much interest in the Princess himself.

Actually, I do not know if it would be correct to call him ”Princess”. I, myself, don't have strong oppositions for the same gender being romantic interests, but I prefer women. As an Emperor, making a child would eventually lead to further development of the country.

Kristoff said that these intentions were not good, but what concerned me was how to acquire profit for the country.

”We will proceed to go in this direction (flow), … but are you sure?” It seemed Kristoff's explanation came to an end.

While most of it went over my head, Kristoff would not make mistakes even if these events were separated.

There will be no mistakes if I leave it to you.

”Ah, I leave it to you.”

”Understood. Also, I will give the report about Princess Shane's personality and the investigation of Orania that was done with Eckart.

“First of all, it is about Princess Shane's reputation in the country, but since his existence was kept a secret so far, I do not know anything about his childhood.

“However, in the past few years, I heard that he hid his ident.i.ty to partic.i.p.ate in the city festival, and helped his father, Prince Alexei, with his work. He visited the festival with the Duke's eldest son each time, and the two seemed to be lovers. Incidentally, from the rumors of the citizens, it seems that they did not deny their relations.h.i.+p, and it was said that marriage was close by.

“His Highness Prince Alexei has jurisdiction over the management of the garden at the Royal Castle, but I also asked his colleagues for information. Even though Princess Shane worked as a male there, no one thought it was strange when he was announced as a woman. Rather, they originally thought (s)he disguised himself(herself) as a man. (T/N: had no idea what p.r.o.nouns to use here) Princess Shane was diligent; also, his knowledge on plants exceeded everyone’s.
