Portrait of Queen Berta - Ch. 1

[Thifa]

@yumian I found this manga first and only know about the novel after, so yes, I see your comment kinda prejudiced there. What happened to the first queen is sad yes, but she's literally the one who made it worse on herself. She's the one that keep offering other women to him. Honestly, from that point on I literally think that the First Queen didn't have any right to complain anymore. I think maybe you forget that this is a historical manga (and novel), which means there are references to what actually happened at that time. We really can't read this story with modern mindset. It's just the first chapter and I'm pretty sure it would be more about politics rather than romance (I still haven't read any chapters of the novel).

Also, I think this is different from Lady to Queen too. In Lady to Queen the King deliberately brought in someone who can't conceive as Queen to be sacrificed in the future because the one he loves have low status even though she can conceive. The reasoning and background story are too different (except for the fact that both the Emperor/King was born of a concubine/lover).

@Thifa You are the one who read this story with modern mindset, since you can't seem to understand why the legal wife insisted on offering him those pure-blooded women in the first place. I came from a country where monarchy still exist, so I know damn well how monarchy works. She has every damn right to complain. I don't expect someone like you to understand why having pure-blood is important for someone like her anyway. It's not her fault that she was forced to marry an illegitimate child, one that is not acknowledged by the church too. If only he allowed her to commit suicide, then she wouldn't be stuck in this political marriage.

As for the Lady to Queen

Spoiler

mc wasn't even infertile. The stupid king knew about this and chose to hide it from others.

I don't understand the dialogues. They seem off. Like at one scene, the king was talking about Berta but the he suddenly said "be quiet". Who be quiet? Are you talking to yourself out loud?

 

[introvertchild]

Translation here is just yikes

 

[grimlypanda]

I guess only @introvertchild here is complaining about the translation but I found it nice and readable enough to enjoy reading the manga

 

[introvertchild]

@grimlypanda "I have to break into royal marriage and become a bad woman", "I'll keep hitting the stones so I can come back," The king saying "be quiet" out of nowhere when he's talking to himself.

All of this makes perfect sense to you, does it? The translation is machine translated trash, as is in the rest of the chapters.

@introvertchild you're the trash that needs to rely on translated chapters? You're being unnecessarily rude to people who do it for free and on their own time. If you don't like it, don't read it

 

[introvertchild]

@Smellykupo That's the point? I don't like it, so I'm not reading it. Who said I can't read the raws anyway?

Don't like my rude comment? Ignore it. I'm not obligated to worship anyone just because they attempted to translate something. If something is machine translated garbage, I'll say so.
