From one page to the next, our little girl went from daedric horror to happy princess. Never change, Myne

Yes, Aub is good. That's what they used in the novel, just like using Giebe instead of Baron.

 

[tyrpios]

Yes, Aub is fine.

 

[Quarnozian]

TY for the redo!

This is so much better than the other group's version. Not just the accuracy or way it was worded... they didn't even touch anything that wasn't inside text bubbles/boxes.

Though I did like their "You're okay in my book" meta joke.

I mean, they use both Aub and Archduke, but I couldn't tell you what the context difference is. I do remember whenever someone is announced or named it is as "aub duchy-name".

Oh wait, I think I figured it out: I think "aub" might be short for "archeduke of" so Sylvester is "Archduke Sylvester" and "Aub Ehrenfest". Still, there are many points when a character is refered to as "the Aub" or "the Archduke" and I don't know what differentiates that. I guess maybe the japanese original differentiates it too?

Thanks for the translation!!!

I also think Aub is good.

 

[Hicleric]

+1 on using Aub and any of the other foreign-sounding terms. The language of the setting is distinctive enough that to do anything different diminishes the depth of the world building.

Such adorable art this chapter. GremlinMyne has been satisfied for once!

EEEEK!! Darth Myne is peeking out! Luckily there were no bloody carnival erected. 😅😅

A bit of spoiler but archduke is definitely excessive.

Spoiler: explaination

TL;DR magic is involved in maintaining the country, at least for the Zent (= the king), the Aubs and the temple bishops (not the case for Giebes or head priests). They kind of deserve alternative titles in that sense. Citizenship is also tied to magic.

Ehrenfest is actually bottom of the barrel in Yurgenschmidt (the name of the country), and while national politics are effectively influenced by a handful of big duchies that have blood ties with the royal family, they still don't have a super-title like archduke, and Aub is equally used for everyone managing a region. So you can see the Aub as the equivalent of Duke or Archduke, but Sylvester is definitely not an Archduke if we were to use familiar titles.
Below the Aub are Giebes (Counts / Barons) who manage land subdivisions (like Brigitte's father or the Leisegang (the third wife of Karstedt comes from there and you will see that name pop up a lot since they are pretending Rozemyne is her biological daughter)), and other nobles that don't own any land don't have titles either (they can still be part of the family of a Giebe).
Being an Aub has a special meaning in terms of magic as well, they can do rituals and other actions that only work in their region. This administrative break down can only be modified by the Zent (which also has other special powers that work across the whole country, you can't just kill him and declare a new dynasty (but you can steal his title some other way), it's pretty much magic contracts all the way up to the gods), which is why in the first chapter, you see a map with "former Zauskas under Klassenburg management", the current Zent couldn't follow the inheritance procedures due to a civil war, and he cannot merge Zauskas into Klassenburg, more drama ensues.

However if you are looking for titles/ranks that have "arch" in the name, there is archnoble / mednoble / laynoble (and equivalent composites archknight / archscholar because they are extremely classists), which are ranked below the Aub and independent from the status of Giebe. Archnobles obviously have more political power and tend to have more blood ties with the Aub family.

Zen/Aub/Giebe are three main noble titles to denote governorship over specific territory. Aub is mostly synonymous with Archduke/Archduchess, but Aub feels a bit more personal while Archduke/Archduchess is more of a generic term, e.g. when a noble talks with Sylvester, they'll always address him as "Aub Ehrenfest" and never "Archduke of Ehrenfest" (personal name should never be attached to Aub/Archduke). His close family members could call him directly by name in private, but for public/formal event they still use the title. There's also more nuance depending on interpersonal relationship or political matter, like when Sylvester told Rozemyne to call him by name to maintain the image of her adoption: "Father" is too close while "Aub Ehrenfest" is too distant.

Wait, I'm confused. Will TOOR Scans be transating the rest of the part 3?

We plan to, yeah.

Nice! Thank you for the reply for you hard work!
