Life of a Court Lady Page #2

I see

So this country still possesses some luck.

That's good to know.

Yes?

Let us hold a celebration here

at the Tominokouji Temple.

I haven't laid my hand on a lute in a while

Gather the women that are good at dancing

And while I'm at it, I'll bully Saienji whose

current situation hasn't improved

I'm afraid that Sir Saienji is currently busy

dealing with the men down in Kamakura

That's right.

He is a good man but still such a fool

Yes

When Shijo returns to her hometown this

Tominokouji sure feels colder

The elegance has faded from this place

I know, I'll write a letter to Shijo.

There is the thing about the

maternity belt anyway

It must be hard to give birth

with such a supple body

The heart thirsts for frost,

the garden, a moon at midnight

surrounded by fall,

unable to see that upside down

is the path of love

surrounded by fall,

unable to see that upside down

is the path of love

the water from the fall

slipping through the rocks

It is a message from the Lord

He will have a messanger bring the

maternity belt tomorrow

He says to take care of my body

and to birth a healthy prince

A maternity belt?

We already put the belt on two months ago

Don't even mention such a thing

Such a sinful thing to do.

to deceive the lord in such a way,

he will surely find out at some point

Such a terrible lie is bound

to come back to hurt us

Just thinking of that...

makes me shudder

You cannot place all the blame on yourself

It will effect your body

Shijo who received the Lords devoted

affection had returned back home

where she was preparing to

have her second baby.

But the baby that she bore

was not that of the Lords.

Before Shijo had become

the lover of the lord

there was another man who

devoted himself to Shijo.

The baby she was to have was the child of this

man who she met in secret, away from the Lord.

Shijo's maidens called him the chief

councilor of Fogs before sunrise.

It was a pure coincience.

Shijo, lying to the Lord,

was at the child bearing place

of this Fog before sunrise.

It was the God's will

For each long night

with beasts fi lled with milk

she must mourn her baby's lonely trip.

I have an idea

Everybody, do not say a word

about how the baby passed away

From the monks who prayed for a healthy birth

to the girls who took care of things,

you must not tell anybody outside of this.

Alright.

Let's prepare for the celebrations.

The long awaited baby has been born

into the Saienji family.

A baby?

A baby was born?

A baby was born into the Saienji family

A crime...

this body is for the lord himself...

You must not fall asleep

You must not fall asleep!

You musn't! Put strength into your stomach.
