Narration: “Being immersed in an incomparable sweet love had
led me to the time when I had noticed it. It is somewhat a bit late.” Jun slams
open the door and shouts, “Your Majesty! Time’s up! Get back to work!!” While
hugging Yuulin tightly, scowling Reishou says that he doesn’t want to for the
princess consort has just arrived, right.
“I’ll simply hug her and the work will be okay.” Aghast
Yuulin says that isn’t good. Jun shouts, “What foolishness are you saying
again! Wasn’t it you who said that it is also okay to just let you see her in just
a glance! *waving the two away from each other* Okay. Okay. A promise is a
promise.”
As Yuulin hops away from him and prepares to leave, she
tells Reishou that she’ll come back tomorrow at the same time. “You properly
work and I’ll also strive hard in studying!” Jun nods in approval. Reishou is
disappointed for his rabbit has hopped away.
While walking at the cloister followed by her court ladies,
Yuulin narrates, “I’m Tei Yuulin, the sole consort of Haku Reishou, the king of
Hakuyou. The reason why I hurriedly and busily on the move by make a round trip
back and forth like this is because the imperial palace’s system is sprucing up
[/renovate] the proposed regional area’s comprehensive report as well as the
imperial palace’s routine affairs...
...It caused His Majesty to become super busy for a long
period of time. He had no choice but rest at the royal court just like before.
The time when he couldn’t come back continued to lengthen. *Gloomy Reishou kept
on calling for his princess consort that Jun said that it won’t do if he [Jun] didn’t
do a bit of compromise*...
...As a result, I was instructed to come over and show my
face at the government hall... *sweatdrops* Ah~ Even if we had already become a
real married couple, basically, I only pass time at the harem... Just like a
consort...
...It isn’t that good that starting from being newlywed, His
Majesty would come over every day. *flashback: puppy Reishou happily called out
to her and said that he sneaked out from work.* That situation isn’t good and
actually it isn’t normal... Obviously, that person ought to be very busy. Huh?”
She notices three officials whispering to each other. When
they notice her, they immediately become quiet and bow down to salute her. She
thinks that it has been a long time since the court officials gave her that
kind of look. “Am I some rare animal? It is because from morning to night, I’m
so busy studying on how to become a good princess consort...”
There is a scene of Reishou looking dismayed as Yuulin jumps
away from him. She says that even if it’s very lonely but she also cannot
interfere with his work. Narration: “This ‘I’ll go and show my face in a while
to His Majesty at the government hall then immediately say, see you tomorrow’
continued on like this.
Then, on a certain day... At the government hall, a court
official ushers Yuulin to a chair and tells her to wait a while here for His
Majesty is still talking with Prime Minister Shuu. Yuulin takes her seat and
thanks him. The official bows as Yuulin and introduces himself.
“This subordinate is Kei Kikyo [guesswork from 惠紀鏡]. A
few days ago, I was transferred from some other division to the government
hall. Let me first pay my respects to you. *smiles* ...I unexpectedly was able
to see the FAMOUS Lady princess consort that it seems like a dream. Actually,
it is quite fortunate!
...*Yuulin looks tense and thinks, ‘like a dream? Is he
referring to the youkai consort thing?’* ---after Lady princess consort has
returned to the palace, everyone said that His Majesty had changed. *Yuulin
asked, is that so?* It is! He had become a lot gentle... To the point that a
few days ago, he had even permitted the preparations for the palace’s moon
viewing feast which really astonished the cabinet ministers...
...*tilts head* Lady princess consort, what kind of magic
did you use? *Puzzled Yuulin wonders, ...magic? She imagines herself creating
some lightning magic while shouting, hiya!!!* You definitely had undergone a
lot of challenging training, right...
...*Yuulin nervously thinks, training? She imagines herself
shouting hiya!!! while sitting on a rock in some yoga position as she emits a
huge aura* After all, previously, when His Majesty had just barely returned
from the frontier to the court, he is so, so wild [/violent].”
Yuulin looks surprised by this. Just then, Jun came in and
tells her to please go to the lounge where His Majesty is waiting for her.
Kikyou bows and says that this subordinate will take his leave. After he left,
Yuulin follows Jun and asks just now, that is...
Jun asks if it is Kei Kikyou, he was transferred here
lately... “...he is also the grandson of His Excellency, Kei Sai [guesswork
from 惠彩],
one of those old men whom you’ve met several days ago during His Majesty’s
sword practice.” Recalling those intimidating grandpas, Yuulin says that they
are also the five influential family clans...
Jun says, yes, the other division had recommended Kikyou by
saying that he is considerably clever with literary talent. “Currently, his
performance is being observed. For us, training a talented person is very
important...” Yuulin thinks that the way Kikyou talked caused her to become
bothered.
“What’s with that magic? Treating me like a youkai. ‘Wild’?”
With hearts all around, Reishou hugs Yuulin then Jun shouts, okay, time’s up.
Reishou grumbles that he doesn’t want to, and no matter how he thinks of it, it
felt too short. Yuulin glances at him and thinks, he just returned to the royal
court, ...the past Wolf King’s wildness...
Later on, at the harem, the court ladies tell Yuulin that it
is a rare night when the moonlight is so beautiful. “But His Majesty is still
staying overnight at the imperial palace.” Looking out the window, Yuulin says
that it is really beautiful and soon, the moon viewing banquet will start as
she was told by that court official -> Kikyou.
One of the court ladies says that’s right. “After His
Majesty had ascended to the throne, there was a long time when a lot of the routine
court affairs had been suspended but there are some ceremonies that are gradually
re-started again. It is because it was one of the long-established ceremonies so
we heard that a lot of the ministers are very happy...”
Yuulin recalls Kikyou saying that everyone said that His
Majesty had changed. Looking at the moon, Yuulin thinks that at the harem, day
in and day out, she had forged ahead vigorously in order to become a good
princess consort. “I don’t know what His Majesty at court is like. At the
harem, His Majesty always dotes on me [/loves to spoil me] and he’s so
gentle---...”
The court ladies are surprised when Yuulin asks them to help
her in getting contact with Jun for a while. Putting in some pastries in a lacquer
box, Yuulin thinks that after returning to the harem, even if she heard that
His Majesty had changed but she also didn’t particularly think about it as
anything.
“...I simply felt that I should do some things that a
princess consort ought to do. *covers the box* Okay, this is fine. I don’t know
why but I suddenly wanted to really see his face.” At Reishou’s office at the government
hall, Yuulin quietly peeks through the door. She thinks that in the end, His
Majesty at work is so handsome...
She goes doki-doki <- the wife’s preference. Reishou
calls out, “Li Jun? That side of the work is already done so you can take it
away---” Realizing that he noticed someone is there, Yuulin opens the door and
says that it is her. Suddenly raising up his head, surprised Reishou says, “...Yuulin?
How come you came to the government hall at this time?”
As she goes to his table, Yuulin says that it is because she
had asked Jun about it and unexpectedly, she smoothly... There is a scene of
chibi Jun sighing and says that it cannot be helped for His Majesty’s mood is
very bad. Yuulin asks if Reishou wants to eat some midnight snake with her...
“Ah, if it’s troublesome, I’ll immediately go back!” Reishou
replies, “---Is this my mind’s illusion for wanting to see my beloved consort?”
With ? marks all around, Reishou is pinching Yuulin’s cheeks. Yuulin says that
he is really very tired..!
“But then, please don’t pinch my face like this.” After one
more pinch, Reishou rests his head on her shoulder and says, “If I cannot see
you for some time... I’ll start to worry and think whether or not you are
really still here.”
Realizing that he’s showing his weakness, Yuulin blushes and
exclaims that he is worrying too much and didn’t they see each other every day!
Hugging her, he asks, “Really? You won’t fly up to the sky and return to the
moon?” [<- in folklore, there is a rabbit that lives on the Moon]
Yuulin angrily shouts, “Wha- Including His Majesty, [you all]
don’t see me as a person!? But, I was studying day and night as if my life
depended on it to become a good princess consort and I was striving hard to
forge ahead vigorously! What’s up with everyone. Darn it---”
She is surprised when Reishou holds up her head as he opens
his mouth. Then, they kiss as she goes, hm..uu..hm. Afterwards, she slightly
pushes him away and tells him that it will be very troublesome if there’s
someone there since this is the imperial palace... He tells her that no one
will come over.
Nervous Yuulin tries to protest when she suddenly stops. She
thinks, “Eh? How come my heart beat is so fast? It seems that it has been such
a long time since I’ve gotten in contact with the Wolf King while at work. *looks
at Reishou as the moon is shining brightly behind him*...
...Ah ah, so scary yet beautiful wolf. *Reishou leans to
kiss her again as she closes her eyes* A kiss as if it will swallow me. A huge
hand strongly locking [/holding] me. As well as, that focusing ice-cold and
penetrating gaze which can be fatal [/cause someone to die].
*recalls Kikyou saying that Reishou is so wild* What is that
official saying about His Majesty’s wildness? Did he really change? I feel that
this person in front of me, no matter how I see it, is like the insolent
[/wild] cold king who is hugging me in this place...
...From time to time, there is an expression of ‘hungry wolf’
that will appear but in a split second, it will disappear. His Majesty will
immediately gently smile again. His Majesty didn’t at all change because I came
back. He is merely getting better at concealing it, that’s all?” Reishou is
stunned to see Yuulin crying.
After staring at her, he becomes aghast and wretched. He holds
up his hands and says, “...sorry, I’ve seized the opportunity and didn’t choose
a proper place. I also didn’t listen to your opinion. Ah... *starts backing
away while holding his face* I’m truly sorry. I’m so tired that I lost propriety.
I didn’t plan on frightening the cherished princess consort. ...I’ll go and run
outside for a while.”
Blushing and sweatdropping, teary-eyed Yuulin exclaims, “No,
it’s..fine! I’m okay! Also, that side is the window!! This isn’t that. This is
but just...how can I say it, tears of astonishment!! Even if it is kind of
crying, but it’s ‘I’m fine’ tears!! Don’t mind it--”
Trembling Reishou goes into puppy mode and mutters, tears of
astonishment, what is that... He becomes gloomy as he continues to mutter, “This
is terrible. I’ve messed up.” Thinking that he became a puppy, Yuulin
frantically tries to assure him that it is really okay.
Narration: “While I was working, I thought that it is only
the puppy king that is real whereas the scary ‘Wolf King’ is just an act and in
fact, it doesn’t exist at all. But, in reality, ‘the cold-hearted Wolf King’
really exists. It is merely after becoming a married couple, he won’t let me
see it. But, actually...
...*Reishou continues to gloomily mutter that no, isn’t it
better for him to run off for a while* What to do, what to do, what to do, how
come I wasn’t aware of it until now. I...*heart beating loudly* At the harem,
being immersed in this person’s tender sweet love, I totally didn’t pay
attention to that deeply hidden feeling...
...*scene of smiling Reishou with a loose robe while blushing
Yuulin is covered in a blanket* In case I’ve been looked at by that penetrating
glance, my whole body becomes stiff that I cannot help but cry. Scared to
death. Legs shaking. If I were to be touched by that Wolf King, I’ll be so
happy that my soul would tremble...
...Feelings interlinked. As if cherishing a precious pearl, I
obviously already like him so much but it is already like this. *blushing as
she covers her mouth* Have I unexpectedly fallen in love with his concealed
cold-hearted side? –the one who had been casted by bad magic ought to be me
instead!”
Comment: If that ‘bed
scene’ is just Yuulin’s imagination and it might be, it means that she is turned
on by Wolf mode Reishou. Unfortunately, trembling in fear and crying won’t make
him think that way =P He’ll most likely try to act more on his puppy mode. Is
that the new dilemma for our couple?
In a way, it will be a delightful revelation if Reishou
knew. Yuulin is indeed the only one who loves both/all sides of him ^^ There
won’t be a need to hide that side and he can just act natural. Maybe at that
time, what everyone most especially
Reishou and Gen wanted to happen will happen by then ^^
I somehow feel sad when Reishou mentioned about his fear
that she’ll be gone. I think it is more than just worrying/being possessive.
That is because they are in this place where most people are known to
disapprove of her. In the first few chapters, there are people who had no
qualms in trying to get rid of her.
Well, it seems that Yuulin is Jun’s ‘carrot’ for Reishou to
work for a long period of time. Even if he is strict and everything, it is good
that he can be lenient at times...or rather, when it is really needed =P Hehe,
Jun can be a slave driver when things has to be done.
We have a new character. From his character design, he seems
to be a suspicious person. I wonder if he’ll work with Houen and Suigetsu, and
what would it be like. Even if he is talented and highly recommended, because
of his relation to those old men, I would assume that he is somewhat of a spy
for them.
So, was his conversation with Yuulin is just out of plain
curiosity or he is probing her reactions to what he says? Yuulin’s imagination
about it is very cute though. Anyway, because of that, Yuulin has found out
something about Reishou ^^

always with the same person. ~ Mignon McLaughlin
Thanks for the recap. I really hope Yuulin lets Reishou know that she loves his cold-hearted wolf king side. Can't wait to see his reaction when he hears that. Would he pounce and gobble her up? Or would he think she's trying to make him feel better and continue hiding that part of himself to make her feel better?
ReplyDeletei hope he is so happy they kiss, and he is finally 100% truly happy for being who he is with Yuulin
DeleteThanks for reading, Lidy ^-^ Yup, though would it be telling him or showing him or both ^^
DeleteThe last one is very possible.
Ale, he's definitely happy that they kiss or doing any other lovey-dovey ^^
DeleteHe will, definitely.
I sometimes think that Yuurin confuses the feeling of love and fear sometimes.I dunno. I just think that. Cause most of the time the description of how Yuurin feels when she's in love and scared are the same.It troubles me a lot too, it seems she's going around in circles with her feelings.
ReplyDeleteThat Kikyo official, his eyes are a bother..He looks like some kind of ghost, no, He looks more of a youkai than Yuurin.
Is that so. ^^
DeleteIndeed. I wonder why the mangaka drew him that way.
Hmmm, I really don't like that new character, either. Very suspicious. Think he was testing the waters with his comments, and will try to make it so that Yuulin leaves Reishou. Just a feeling. But then, she loves him so much - all sides of him, apparently - that it'll be difficult for anyone to try and break them up. Reishou will definitely work hard not to lose her again.
ReplyDeleteAnd who knows...maybe he'll 'bite' Yuulin accidentally again, like he did just before she fled to the Han house in the early chapters (when he had drunk a little bit too much sake, one thinks... lol), and he'll find out that she won't run away again, unlike previously...and he'll figure out how much she loves him...?
Yup, indeed, Nelle.
DeleteMaybe. Now that you mentioned it, he seems to be biting in one of the scenes. The part after the picture of him holding her hand. I was trying to figure out what he was doing then. ^^;
Hmmm, well, he bit her nose last time, so maybe he did that again, and that is why she had her little revelation/epiphany on loving everything about him? Couldn't tell what he was doing exactly in that picture. But he certainly did step it up a gear. Love his reaction of "I should go run it off!" Rofl!
DeleteThanks for the great work! ^^
I see so that's probably what he did ^^
DeleteIndeed ^^ He did lose it a bit and probably had gone further if she didn't cry =P
=)
This chapter made my whole being so warm and heart so full of love it can hardly contain.Feel like kissing the author's hands. And thank u for making that happen through your summary.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. I really like that Yuulin finally figures out her feelings for Reishou.
ReplyDeleteThat she notices that the wolf personality of Reishou is not an act. That she discovers that she is falling in love with him all over again. Is sweet.I can't wait to see how she is going to show him that she is fine with both sides to him.
I find it adorable when Reishou sulks if he doesn't see Yuulin. Mind you I liked the scene where she peeks in on Reishou in wolf mode. I swear that I totally would swoon and say that he is handsome too.
It certainly would make my heart race not to mention the kissing scene (kyyyyaaaa) omg.
Anyway, thanks for the update.
I bet that ki kyou, will have something to do with it for sure!
Thanks for reading ^-^

Indeed. Lots of nice scenes here ^^
