Chapter 21 – Wedding date

TL: Eevee

Ed: Hungry Panda

Once the situation had more or less calmed down, Karina rushed in to greet the party that returned to the palace.

Karina yelled at Clarice with a frantic voice she’d never heard from her.

“Your Highness! Are you out of your mind?! You knew perfectly well just who they were and yet you still went out anyway?!!”

Clarice had all sorts of different excuses at the ready yet none of them left her mouth. Because she saw Karina’s tear-reddened eyes. She could only console and reassure Karina and say that she was sorry, she would be more careful from now on.

“So, how did this all happen?”

Once they got back to their rooms, the first thing Clarice did was to interrogate Senyun. With the same yaksha-like face that she’d glared at Ericia with, with the same yaksha’s aura she’d once aimed at her father.(1)

Senyun had all sorts of different excuses at the ready yet none of them left her mouth. Because she felt that if she said one word wrong and none of her bones would be left intact. She could only do this.

“I’m sorrryyyyyyy!!!!!”

Leaping up in her seat (very boldly despite the fact she wasn’t wearing panties[and because of that Minwoo had an unwanted glimpse under her skirt and nearly stabbed his eyes out then and there.]) her legs folded under her and plopped on the ground. She prostrated herself flat on the ground and admitted to everything she had done.

“I never ever meant for this to happen!!! Isaprince! To think that Isaprince bitch would start a riot, I never imagined iiiiiiiittt!!!”

So that it would reach you. So that this truth without a single hint of a lie would reach you. Since no command came after a very long time Senyun glanced up to look at Clarice’s reaction. And regretted it.

Because what was sitting there wasn’t Clarice with a face and aura of a yaksha, but just a yaksha.

“……..Senyun. That’s not what I wanted to ask.”

Clarice couldn’t take her throbbing headache anymore, as she rubbed her temples and sighed.

“Why did you do something I didn’t even ask for?”

Because of that, now they had the people’s complete support for Clarice’s marriage with Minwoo. Now even if Father came back and decided to push harder for marriage now they had no avenues of escape. Of course, IF he came back…

Senyun lifted her head up to look at Clarice ……her giant breasts hid her face from Senyun’s line of sight. Lol wtf. (EN: Lmao)

“I wanted to take responsibility…”

Setting aside how she wanted to cry for a lot of things, Senyun said so. Responsibility? Clarice replied back. Senyun sat up straight to face Clarice’s gaze and confessed her feelings.

“Responsibility for making Your Highness into a woman. Responsibility for the humiliation you suffered at Ericia’s hands. Responsibility for being unable to call off the marriage. And responsibility for causing the protest.”

“………..”

“At first it was just to settle down the CLC but I unconsciously rode the mood and I have nothing to say for that…. But I genuinely wanted to take responsibility.”

Clarice looked at Senyun’s purple eyes. She realised that in those pretty eyes which resembled violets, there was the truth without a single trace of a lie.

Clarice sighed and couldn’t help but forgive her.

“Just this once. If you pull something ridiculous like this next time then I really will not forgive you then.”

“C, Clarice-nim…!”

Sniffle. Senyun covered her mouth with her hands and was moved by that noble benevolence. Clarice’s eyes narrowed slightly as she wondered whether she was overdoing it, before she opened her mouth.

“Senyun. Speaking of which…”

Clarice’s clear face flushed shyly.

“Th, thank you for stopping the protesters. If it weren’t for Senyun, something horrible would definitely have happened.”

Her running rampant without being asked was something that made her angry, but ultimately it did result in quelling the protest(although that ‘result’ was barely avoiding the worst-case scenario.) Clarice sincerely thanked Senyun.

And Senyun’s reaction.

“……….!!!”

Kuk. Kuhuk. Senyun gripped her chest and breathed heavily like an ox, and fell to the floor. Clarice was startled and helped Senyun up. Clarice’s worried eyes turned frigid instantly.

Now why does she have a nosebleed.

“M, my prince… I, I…!!! Uuuuuuu!!!!”

Without any time to react Senyun buried herself in her breasts. Waaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!! Senyun started crying a flood of tears. Resigned, Clarice patted Senyun’s back and comforted her.

“I! I was so scaaaarredd!!!!! Hwaaaaaaaah!!!!! Your Highness!! I was afraid Your Highness would hate mee!!!!! Hwuahuhwhuuuaaaaa!!!!!!”

Clarice’s gaze met with Minwoo and Karina’s. The three of them grinned at the same time and shook their heads.

In any case, she really was like a child.

***

Senyun finally admitted it. What? That her beloved prince had become a woman. The reality that her prince was now a princess. Up till now Clarice as a woman was so unfamiliar she couldn’t possibly deal with her awkwardness. But Clarice was still Clarice. Even if she was now a woman, her gentleness didn’t change. At the same time, she felt that the saying passed down in the doujin circles were there for a reason.

Senyun buried and rubbed her face in Clarice’s abundant, motherly breasts (although ironically Senyun’s mother was had cliffside breasts like Senyun herself) and Senyun’s eyes met with Karina.

The two of them shared a connection.

‘Boys, or girls.’

‘It’s fine as long as they taste good.'(2)

That was her new life motto.

Clarice shuddered at the chill that suddenly ran down her spine. It was probably because of her sodden front due to Senyun dripping snot and tears all over it. Clarice slowly decided to pry Senyun off.

“Senyun. Are you alri….”

“Guhehehe…”

“Guhehehe… Her Highness’s breasts…. So soft and fluffy?”

Senyun showed her true colours. Clarice forgot that she, too, was a member of that damned CLC. Wait, and it’d been how long since she’d been crying her heart out.

“Oi! Is it seriously time for you to pull this shit?!”

Minwoo quickly ran in and grabbed Senyun’s scruff. Like a fish hooked to the line, Senyun flailed around as she yelled back.

“Shut uup!!! Coming from the one who stole my panties! Are you going to steal Her Highness…. Mmhmm!”

Minwoo hurriedly sealed off that mouth. This thing kept pointlessly saying things that would get very very awkward. Minwoo wanted to keep the fact that he made Senyun into a ‘no panties’ for the panty thief incident a secret from Clarice. Even though Senyun more than deserved it, there was no way that Clarice would like that type of revenge.

Minwoo wanted to always be someone reliable to Clarice. Not some petty perverted no panties.

“Panties?”

Clarice tilted her head. Perhaps because of the panty thief incident, Clarice was very sensitive to the word panties. Minwoo played it off.

“No, it’s nothing. Not like this is the first time she’s bullshitted like that. Don’t worry about-”

“Mmmm!!!!”

Crunch.

“Waaaaaarrrgh!!!”

Fuck! She actually bit my hand!!

“You wanna go?!”

“Mmmmmm!!!”

The two of them startle grappling and struggling with each other. Stuck between the two of them, Clarice looked to Karina for help.

Crunch crunch. She was eating popcorn.

Tch! Now that she thought about it, although she had nothing to do with this incident, but she too, was a member of the CLC. For an organisation that supposedly loved and adored her, they seriously weren’t anything good for her life. Just as Clarice was about to fold up her sleeves to separate the two herself.

“Hoho. We were worried how you were doing, but it seems like we didn’t have to.”

“That seems so. Just look at how lively they are.”

Everyone’s heads turned to the new voice. Could it be, they thought but coulda was woulda. The royal couple who had cleanly abandoned the country and ran away were somehow, somewhen, snuck back in like a snake sneaking through walls. Everyone was so dumbfounded they didn’t know where to begin.

Of course, the two iron-skin faces(4) were the exceptions.

“Clarice. You’ve had it hard. We believed that if it were you, you would brilliantly be able to overcome this crisis. There was good in holding back our tears and leaving you to it.”

“Your Majesty. The others will feel left out.”

“Ahh. That’s right. Minwoo and Senyun, as well as Karina, good job. Especially Senyun. I didn’t think that I would be that moved by your speech on true love. Really now, I… I’m getting all embarrassed here.”

“Oh my. Your Majesty. Are you feeling embarrassed to another woman in front of your woman?”

Hahaha! Hohoho! The royal couple led on with their pointless chatter. It was so shameless no one present could say anything edgewise.

They’d have to find where to begin first.

“Mother. Leaving aside that fu…. Father, why did Mother also leave the castle?”

It was a question that asked that why, at the very least, did she not remain behind to look after the kingdom. And the queen’s answer was.

“Princess. You are asking an obvious question. A husband and wife are one from the beginning. What purpose would there be for me to remain without my husband?”

“………”

Ah fuck it, speechless it is. As expected of the queen whose head turned to flowers whenever it involved the king.

“Princess. Aren’t there greater problems at present?”

“Greater problems?”

The queen smirked. To someone (=king) it was a bright and happy smile, and at the same time to others(=everyone else) it was a foreboding omen.

“While we came back, I heard what the people were saying. That they were blessing the engagement of the princess and the hero.”

Surely not. Minwoo and Clarice both blanched. The king and queen exchanged a look before they opened their mouths together.

“Minwoo-”

“Princess-”

“”When would be a good date for the wedding?””

So if you actually want the translator (i.e. me) to notice your comments, you know where to go. I am aware that it’s easier to comment through Disqus, but it’s easy af to make a WordPress account.

Author’s Note

I fixed a few parts namely about how the queen is now a woman whose head turns to flowers whenever it has to do with her husband and I added some details about the priestess in the pillow talk chapter.

Because the Priestess makes her appearance next chapter!

(1) See Chapter 16 for the explanation on yaksha

(2) aka it’s not gay fine as long as they’re cute

(3) See Chapter 13 for the explanation on this multipurpose SFX

(4) As in, thick face = shameless ? upgrade.

TN: So…. I’ve been translating what’s essentially ‘holy maiden’ as ‘priestess’ this entire time, but as ‘holy maiden’ is a title in of its own, I will most likely interchange between them next chapter, making it as clear as possible when the usage of ‘priestess’ isn’t referring to the person in question.
