Volume 3: Melancholy of a General

「 Chapter 2: Something New 」

Sorry currently dealing with content stealing sites that completely disregards crediting and basic human decency. On that note I don’t care if you privately saved/copied/downloaded my translations for personal use. As long as it doesn’t get reposted anywhere, I’m fine with it. So feel free to make pdfs or whatever for yourself. No need to ask me for permission.

(TN: Due to content theft only part of the chapter is posted. Click read more to continue reading rest of the chapter)

Compare to Sommevesle, Illstra's sunlight was stronger. But because of the dry air, the shaded areas would feel cool and can easily be used to escape the heat.

In order to compile with this country’s weather, a special cloth was attached to the chest of her dress. Below that was a design that fitted naturally to the body as it draped down, and embroidered on the glossy ivory colored silk was violet baby roses.

In this extremely sunny country, the noble ladies would often wear a veil to protect their skin. Leti also following this custom, wore a soft veil that was made using the same color threads.

"Welcome to Illstra Kingdom. It is my honor to be able to meet a woman as beautiful as you are again."

The one the came to welcome them was Illstra’s first Prince Victor. A young man with chestnut colored hair, that under the bright sunlight revealed a bit of red, and gentle dark brown eyes.

Illstra and Sommevesle maintained a friendly relationship, thus Leti and Victor had already been acquainted before. Therefore it was ‘long time no see’ rather than a ‘nice to meet you’, facing Leti with a smiling face.

“This ceremony will help bridge the relationship between the two country, to invite me to this kind of memorable ceremony, it’s given I express my heartfelt gratitude. Prince Saverio and Charlotte’s love story is also quite popular in Sommevesle. The people of my country are looking forward to this wedding ceremony from the bottom of their hearts.”

This kind of diplomatic trips was for letting the future ruler be recognized by the surrounding countries. Once a privilege held always by the first Prince Freidhelm or second Prince Guido, Leti was usually left to chat with the noble ladies that had too much free time.

However from now on, just like Illstra’s first Prince Victor, Leti was going to be welcoming guests as the ‘face of the country’.

“Afterwards I need to go greet Charlotte. May I ask you to be my guide?”

“Greetings…huh.”

“Of course whenever it’s convenient for you, is fine too. Or are you currently busy, and I’m troubling you?”

That moment when Leti mentioned she wanted to meet Charlotte, Victor let out a troubled expression.

PSA to people who are reading this on sites like lightnovelgate, novelall, onlinenovelfree, etc. My readers here feel free to skip this section, it doesn’t pertain to you.

Hi. Are you readying this sites that’s not jinseiwahidoi wordpress? Are your eyes bleeding from the ugly website UI? Tired of these shady sites stealing your personal information and selling your soul behind your back?

What you didn’t know about the last part? Well let me tell you about the wonderful world of data mining.

While these sites mostly make money through google ads, basically making kaching every time they get a view on their pages, they also have code in script embedded in the site that are from less safe sources.

Now that you are more informed here’s a good tip. If you want to read novels but don’t know where to find them? NOVELUPDATES is your savior and grace. They host no stolen content and no soul stealing script. Best thing is they properly credit/link to translation group sites and update within minutes of new release.

As for this series it was translated by me, jen at jinseiwahidoi wordpress. I also host no soul stealing script and make zero dollars from my work. If you really want to support future releases of this series please go and read it on my site.

Rather than supporting and giving your personal information to sites like lightnovelgate, novelall, onlinenovelfree, etc. Please directly support and read from the actual translators or translation groups that actually put in the work for you to be able to freely read these novels. Translating is a hella time-consuming and blood draining hobby. Please don’t kill off anymore translators or translation groups.

This chapter was about 10 pages longs which was why it took so long. Next chapter will be out in parts due it being around 16 pages long. I’ve also cut around some of the excess superfluous adjectives that gets used. For example: ‘Walking with dignity, gracefully and elegantly’ would just get cut to ‘walking gracefully’ I don’t think these would make an impact on the story which is why I made these cuts because it’s so hard to squeeze so many adjectives into one sentence. A lot of the translation I’m doing for this series is mostly a rewording to get the meaning across rather than a word for word exact translation. Trust me that would kill me. And it would read like some broken ass english.
