This was really wholesome.

Also, regarding the translation question, -sama is generally Lady/Lord and -san is Ms./Mr.
Translating -sama as Miss takes out a lot of the implied respect the speaker has for the person in question.
Actually, they also use 殿 (-dono) in the story and I had already decided to translate that as "Lady" :notlikethis: so I was trying to think of the options I had left to show the relative levels of formality. But then again, Japanese can be inherently too formal as people also normally use -sama in emails where Ms./Mr. would suffice in English. Wonder if I should just keep the Japanese honorifics as is.

From the way I've understood stood it -san is Miss/Mister, -sama is Lady/Lord, and -dono is something like 'esteemed Lady/Lord'?

I agree there are a little too many levels of formality in Japanese, making it a nightmare to try and translate without losing the nuance behind it.

I love those royalties, they're so gay.(Not sarcastic) I love the wholesomeness, and now my new ship is Nerine x the emperor.

To think the emperor was previously teasing her older sister liking a younger lady, but the same as her liking and plan to continue to court a much younger, 800 year old girl.😂

Isn't a 800 YO dragón considered illegal? /jk

Seems like gay marriage is something quite common in that world, not to mention having two biological mothers. That means we can expect to see daughters from our main couple in the future!
