Chapter 30 (1/2)

(T/N: Sorry I took so long! For 4 days, I was at an anime convention. It was super tiring so I slept a lot after the convention. I feel like the chapters are getting worse and worse as I continue to translate. RIP my life.

Also, shoutout to everyoneee who helped me in the previous chapter! I am super thankful and hope you all can help me again in the chapters to come!

Well, anyways, I hope you all enjoy this chapter! I personally liked this one a lot.

Raws:

*POV: Shane*

A month had pa.s.s since I came to Caspar. I got a message that Urie would be coming to deliver the magic potion soon.

Even though Leo-sama had built a good relations.h.i.+p with me, I thought that my newly-married life started better than I thought.*

However, I had forgotten.

It is said that a woman's jealousy was terrible.

I realized I was in the midst of that jealousy when a large amount of incest carca.s.ses came out of the delivered parcel.

Elias, who was at my side, was unable to hide his anger when he looked inside the box and saw the contents of it. ”To show such a rude att.i.tude like this to the Empress, it would be impossible to complain if they were punished.”

”Since I have lived a life surrounded by insects because I lived near the garden, even if they send things like this, it doesn't affect me at all.”

The inside of the box was filled with insects I was familiar with, but rather than being surprised by the contents, I was surprised by the reason behind the box.

”Even though the sender's name is not written, it was probably sent from one of the n.o.ble concubines. Do you want to report this to the guard in charge of the inner palace?”

”No, that's not necessary.”

This degree of hara.s.sment was adorable.

Though, it would be better not to make things worse.

The next day, I received an invitation to a tea party from one of the n.o.ble Concubines, Princess Ada. Elias warned me to be careful about the sudden invitation, but I was excited to see what kind of hara.s.sment was waiting.

Princess Ada, the oldest Concubine, was 24 years old, and Princess Erma and Princess Delia were 22 years old. (I used the names from the previous translator.)

If I think about it, my selfish younger sisters were giving me recognition.**

If I made tea, I wonder if they would say, ”This pig (sow)!”. (WTF?)

”Elias, do I have a white dress?”

Might as well pick something that would make the tea stains s.h.i.+ne more, I couldn't help but think such things.***

”Shane-sama, please do not enjoy this kind of thing.”

After Elias's calm tsukkomi, it was decided that the dress would be bright green.

When Elias and I arrived at the garden where the tea party was held, the three n.o.ble Concubines were already there.

”I am late. I am sorry to have kept you all waiting.”

”No, since the Empress Consort is busy, it is I who should apologize for inviting you here so suddenly. My name is Ada.” She gave off the impression of a strong-willed princess.

For a beautiful person to wear such thick (bright) make-up, it made me a bit disappointed.

The other two concubines also introduced themselves.

”Thank you for the invitation. My name is Shane, and I am from Orania. Since you took the time to send me an invitation to this tea party, I brought some sweets. Please, I hope everyone will enjoy eating them.”
