I haven't really been a fan of Stewart from the start, but I'd forgotten that he's technically her uncle. Definitely tanked my opinion of him as a love interest. Hopefully the knight takes the lead, or maybe this earl they're introducing, but I don't have much hope considering how these stories typically play out

Oh, right, the chess manga.

A regent who doesn't want to regent is often a good regent, assuming she's competent enough.

Yes, they have a stronger claim to the throne, so therefore they used that stronger claim to put her there.

"I am not worthy."
I think that's for the others to decide.

Love her expression after she read the letter. Also, excellent letter.

Pouty maid.

Best way to get him to agree: Propose to ask someone else instead.

So he's one of those who would've made a good regent.

"Unable to trust anyone except yourself."
That's a bit on the extreme side, and not a given.

People trying to look happy while not being happy will never cease to not work.

Don't act cute in front of the handsome man. That's raising flags. Unless, you know, that's what you want.

A corset wasn't usually as bad as it's usually depicted.

Can't keep the others out of it.

"He stands out way too much."
But that means fewer people will pay attention to you. It's a win-win!

"You're heavy."
People tend to underestimate how much a person weighs. Even a light-weight adult is heavy to lift.

"Isn't it rude to only offer Stewart the right to accompany you?"
Not as rude as to call her decision rude. You would traditionally only have one man for that task.

Either I've forgotten that Stewart's her uncle or didn't realize it.... and yet, why are there so many moments with the two of them in this chapter?

thanks for the chapter!

Oh gosh, seeing this updated after so long I thought it was abandoned for any translation-
I remembered searching this manga a few months ago to see if it was scrapped or something, or if there were any updates.
Thanks so much for the translation and all the hard work! Very much appreciated!!

Everyone's focusing on Stewart being her uncle but I'm more upset about him being a possessive creep. Like I can forgive him causing her trauma (tbh she did it to herself more than anything) but what I hate is that he constantly asked her parents for her hand in marriage "day after day" sad the author. Never made any attempt to get to know her just straight to sell me your daughter. Then there's him sneaking into her room over and over again. On top of that when he does ask to visit, she declines so what does he do? Yup sneak into her room again. Oh yeah and when she almost got killed trying to help him he shouted at her, pinned her down and told her he'd lock her up after marrying her. Yeah dudes a creep. Oh and 3 of the 4 things I just mentioned happened in the last chapter.

I was ready to see her crowned and the manga axed, happy? to see that didnt happen I think.

Earl will probably be the love interest, cause theyre trying to set up Stewart but hes a scumbag.

Edit: on second thought, this IS a very standard shoujo so far so I guess we can't write him out yet :worry:

Stewart was fighting in full plate armor with Irvine several chapters back. To be able to do something like that, you need to have a very respectable amount of strength. Carrying a lady like that for a minute should be easily doable for him.
He is carrying her close to his center of gravity, not in a difficult to keep stance like on outstretched arms.

Fighting in a full plate armour and lifting someone isn't even close. The armour weighs maybe half of her weight, at most, and it's well-distributed on the body, much more significantly than he's holding her "close to his centre of gravity". That's much more about endurance than strength. Lifting someone, on the other hand, does require a respectable amount of strength.

However, that's irrelevant to the point I was making. Him saying she's heavy is perfectly reasonable, even if he can manage it.

Well, her grandfather the king had multiple wives, in Stewart's case his mother and the other two their fathers mothers, so they're all candidates as husbands of varying status.
Good o'l royal marriages XD

Oh this is a pleasant surprise! I assumed the story had ended with the previous volume, guess I imagined a 'end' tag that wasn't there.
Having a future chapter named 'to war' in the table of content does wonder to build the mysterious earl as an ominous threat..

Thank you very much for the translation! It's always a pleasure to read your scans, you do quality work!

just binge read this, and chapter 10 feels like it's missing pages, it goes from them begging for the person in the hall to not open the door in chapter 9 to Cyan choking out the butler in chapter 10, with no in between

At this rate, we might not be able to call her Queen, so she shouldn't worry about it.

Completely forgot this comic, so had to read it again. I'd think I'd remember something with such interesting family relationships. One is her uncle of course. The dark blue haired guy is her nephew? And the guy nearly twice her age (30), Irvine actively playing the stalking horse (wingman?). Guessing this pale slightly older (22?) nobleman is going to be the casual stalking horse.

Wonder what retcon \ flashback the author will throw in to give him a part relation to our Not-Queen. Helped save some orphan in a town she passed through, and encountered her?
