Jamalta is looking dark as he gives a dead goose to Suria.
Taking the goose, Suria says that Jamalta also caught what he asked for, thanks
and Nonagwa [努诺娃] will
be very happy. Furious Jamalta runs towards Machanyuta which causes the girl on
his lap to become startled. He shouts, escort? “Then how come you didn’t just
make me serve it as a roast pig!”
While Suria is restraining Jamalta from punching Machanyuta
and asking if they aren’t tired of this, Machanyuta says yes, that is also
good. He flicks Jamalta’s head and says, “I heard that the Nakrang princess is
going to hold her coming of age ceremony.” This surprises Jamalta that he asks,
what?
Machanyuta asks if he still remember that they [he and
Jamalta] owe the princess a favor. “About that.. okay, even if it cannot be said
as responsibility [/blame] but it is also thanks to her that you are still
alive, right?” Jamalta recalls the time when crying young Saga asked him to let
her go and she fell into the water.
Jamalta mutters that it is so soon..that.. Standing up,
Machanyuta says yes, everywhere in the city, there are rumors that the princess
has totally become a beauty. Going out of the tent, Machanyuta says that he
also heard that her brother loves her dearly in every possible way that he had
tightly hidden her. “Is it really like that? That vicious type Third Prince?
*looks at Jamalta*...
...Then, how come the nobles are discussing among themselves
about the princess’ value [/price]?” This made Jamalta slightly scowl. Jamalta
follows Machanyuta outside as he looks out at their encampment. He says that
anyway, thanks to the princess whose appearance he has never been seen before,
he had an opportunity to fight to make him expand his strength.
“Now, I can be promoted to become candidate heir of the troops.
Look, this blossoming scenery is for me. How about it? It’s not bad, right?
Right now, you want to go and escort it, right? Gratitude cannot be completely
expressed in words.” Jamalta looks at the encampment and a certain village
beyond. [<- not sure if that is smoke/fire there but they’re probably doing
some slash-and-burn.]
At the gate of Saga’s residence, the maid A sees Mino
sitting outside. She huffs and goes to Saga whose hair is being fixed by
another maid. She tells Saga that fair-skinned child had come again and it is
almost everyday since he had been coming. While the other maid B isn’t happy
that the maid A is being talkative, Saga is surprised that Mino had once again..
Maid A says that she told him that Saga won’t go out. “I made made him leave
but he won’t. Hu..I’m being negligent.” [<- wasn’t able to do it]
This made Saga worry that she bites her finger and tightly
clench her skirt. Maid B says that Saga really did good for anyway, after she
get married, all the more she must sever this relationship sooner and put that
feelings aside. “Moreover, regarding that child.. there is also a not so good
rumor..”
Saga asks, rumor, what does she mean? The two maids slightly
smile and look at Saga. Maid A mutters, Ah..ah..that..? They tell Saga that
Mino is her really doted on slave so they always didn’t tell her. “Actually,
every night, he’ll meet up with a girl. Ah ah, he has such a sincere face but
he had already done those things. It is an average looking [servant] girl in
the same age group, called Cheongye.”
Clenching her skirt, Saga asks if he had some other person
he likes but..he never mentioned this to her.. Maid B says that men are like
that. “Looking forward to having the beautiful princess in his embrace yet
doing it with another girl. Even if there are 10 girls, a man will also not dislike
that many.” Looking aghast, Saga asks,..men..huh? Then, she turns around and
says, no..it cannot be..there is definitely a misunderstanding for Mino won’t [do
that].
Maid B says that for her [maid b], even if he is killed, Mino
also won’t understand the princess’ heart that is so good that she doesn’t know
hatred. “After painstakingly saving him, he unexpectedly repays it by playing
tricks on you.” Maid A comments that Saga is really naïve. “Princess, you are
already being deceived.” Saga looks surprised.
At the small hut, the man is viciously wiping Mino while he
is tied up. Cheongye shouts, that is enough, stop!!! Going in front of Mino,
she shouts that the princess didn’t see him so why is he still being beaten? “Stop
it. Do you plan on killing him?!” The man asks if he plans to kill him. “Yes, I
wanted to kill him. I also had enough...
...If this kid is dead, then it will simplify matters.
Besides, this kid himself wanted to die or else, he won’t go there everyday,
right? Move! I’ll make it as you wished!” Cheongye tells the man to stop or
else, she’ll kill him. The man asks what. He grabs her hair and asks if she has
gone crazy. “Hey, deadbeat woman, being in the same boat with the prince made
you a lot bolder, huh? [<- ah, I think this meant have a relationship] You
would dare do this!”
To their surprise, Mino grabs the man’s wrist. The man asks,
what..still won’t let go. “Let..go..you..let go..” Mino tells him to stop it.
Cheongye calls out to Mino. Suddenly, Mino collapses that Cheongye tries to
catch him. While Cheongye calls out for Mino to wake up, the man keeps on holding
his wrist. He says what, wasn’t he able to talk.. He curses as he leaves.
Cheongye holds Mino’s face and calls him a fool that he
became like this, you are really.. Starting to cry, she says, “You’re really a
fool.. *he slightly smiles at her* there’s no need for you to smile to show it
to me. I’ve already said that there’s no need for you to be like that in front
of me. ..why? Why would you do it up to this point? *holds Mino’s hand*...
...Are you afraid that she’ll be lonely? She’s all alone by
herself that you’ll feel uneasy? If it isn’t either one, could it be that you
also adore the princess? Talk, hey? *Mino looks sad that causes her to bite her
lip* Fine.. Whether it is feeling sorry for her or adoring her, next time, even
if you come back like this, I also won’t be angry anymore. *bends down* So, I
only want you to properly live on.”
Then, a man calls out to Cheongye that the prince is calling
for her to go to his place right now. She looks surprised then feels Mino lightly
grabbing her finger. Cheongye slightly smiles and says that she’ll come back in
a while. Mino watches Cheongye quietly heads out. She is holding her hands
tightly. Narration: “Until all are returned to them, waiting for that time is
like when I’m wiping your wounds clean. You also soothe my wound.”
The moon is high up in the night sky. Saga stands by the
gate of her residence. She recalls the maids telling her that she has been
deceived and she’s too naïve. “Men are like that, having a good-natured face
but doing bad things.” Saga thinks that it isn’t so, it is a lie. “They wish
that I won’t attain happiness. Before I see Mino, everything isn’t true. It is
absolutely not. He promised me. It is definitely..
...*bends down* how strange.. what’s up with my chest.. It
feels so tight.” Then, she notices something sparkling on the ground. Puzzled,
she goes towards it and picks it up. It is the hairpin that Mino wanted to give
to her. She suddenly recalls their conversation before. Flashback: Saga asked
if they blamed him for eating too much. Mino said yes..a bit, saying that if he’s
free [not doing anything] then he can eat but because he is working diligently so
they don’t blame him.
Saga asked what he has been doing. Mino says that he’s
working at a blacksmith and actually, he is doing odds jobs but he really likes
it so he does that. Then, he talked about the fire pit. He also talked about
the other palace [/shrine] being renovated so they put up a hanging beam. It is
modified a bit and his craftsmanship is being praised. Mino remembered to tell
her that he always use straw or dried potato branches to weave things. Then, he
shows her some flower stems. She asked if there is nothing that he hates doing.
Mino admitted to her that actually, he is really scared of
horses. When he is tidying up the horse shed, he doesn’t know why he is like
that and after all, he doesn’t have his past memories. “Afterwards, when you
get married, I’ll make you a house. I’ll also make you a beautiful hairpin and jewelry.
*smiles* I’ll definitely come and see you, princess.” End flashback. Holding
the hairpin, Saga is moved to tears. She wanted to see him. “Right now, if I
were to go and find you, will I be able to see you? Just like how you came to
find me, I’ll also go and see you.. Go to where you are..
...*looks surprised and looks behind the gate* Go out the
gate..” She quickly looks at the hairpin and realizes something. With her heart
beating loudly, she thinks, “I know where Mino is. I still remember the inner
city’s routes. It is fine as long as I won’t be found out! That’s right, as
long as I can deceive the maids!” She goes back to her bedroom and quickly
fixes the bed to make it seem that she is still sleeping. She ties up her hair.
Putting a hood on, she heads out the gate and thinks that it is just for a
short while!
Praying amidst some ropes tied with bells, flowers and all
sort of things, the shaman says that apparently, the princess finally taken
this step. “No matter what kind of trail you’ll face, I’ll pray for you to
obtain courage to go and overcome all kinds of difficulties. *scene of feverish
Mino* I will pray for you, beautiful woman. Lord Moon.” [<- moon
worshipper?]
Comment: Ah,
hopefully, the depressing stuff will cease a bit and the mangaka will give us
more hope. For now, there is Jamalta though I’m not sure the extent he can do
to turn things around. Interestingly, Machanyuta is very grateful to Saga’s
role for them to attain what they have now. So, in a way, Saga has saved the
lives of Mino and Jamalta so they owe her big time.
Apparently, Jamalta and Machanyuta still has that kind of thing
going between them. ^^; The maids are annoying and I guess it gives them a lot
of ego that they are given control over a princess. After wavering over what
happened before, it took a rumor for Saga to recall all the things that she talked
about with Mino before. She wants to confirm things from Mino himself. In a
way, she got her guts back to dare go against the restrictions placed on her.
Of course, with this kind of series, we won’t know if she is
being brave or stupid for doing that. It all depends if she’ll be caught. I’ll
say that she is quite brave for she fully knows what her brother is capable of.
Well, there is the shaman praying for her. I guess from that, Saga has a really
big role here later on. I don’t she is praying for Saga just because she is
beautiful ^^;
As for Cheongye, I really think that she has feelings for
Mino or perhaps, they are comrades in that kind of fate. I didn’t realize that Choegeum
is doing that to her but then, he did mention that he needs someone who hates
him to live on. And, he is perverted. Anyway, it seems that Mino is quite
skillful as a craftsman. I think he is also very strong that he caused the man
to keep on holding his hand after Mino gripped it. I guess he must have some
inhuman strength to survive that kind of whipping everyday. That might be
useful later on. Scans by 水神汉化组

Yeah keeping my fingers crossed.want the sad stuff to cease.�� saga has a long way to go if she wants to face her bro.but even this(her heading out) can be considered a first step.
ReplyDeleteYa, spears. In a way, I begin to think that because of the sad stuff, it makes the 'interactions' more moving than usual. Sad yet beautiful.
DeleteIndeed.
Hoho Saga, its love! Its love! You call that falling in love if your heart throbs for someone! The wheel of fate has begun to spin~~
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, im going to sink the JamaltaxSaga ship... its better too early than too late.
I also think Cheongye has feelings for Mino, cause pity is also a form of love/ first step to love, i think.But there is also the prince, for the dramatic, its possible that she falls in love with him, like the prey falls in love with the predator kind of love.
And thx for the chapter kat.
Hehe, aster ^^ For Mino? For now, I'm not inclined to think so. It seems more like wanting to protect him/childhood friend-type.
DeleteRight now, that's my ship, too =P
I believe she does. It doesn't seem like pity though..more like care for him.
Possible but given their history, very unlikely. The prince did killed off all of her family. He is most likely raping her, too...probably somewhat mutual since she is looking for an opportunity for revenge.
I'm not sure the prince is capable of love. He just loves doing it with women who intensely hates him. I believe the he has some loose screws on the head.
Thanks for reading ^-^
Does Mino like saga?
DeleteCurrently, it doesn't seem to be evident that he likes her romantically.
