Life of a Court Lady Page #5

gifts to the gods,

and at Toru we passed under rocks

that spread above like roofs,

watching the fish dancing about

under the shimmering waves,

and enjoyed such plays that are different from

those one finds in the city.

It is also a place that Priest Seigyou has a

connection with too.

I have always kept it in my heart

to visit there someday.

Mother, you are looking well.

Today you seem even brighter than usual,

which fills me with delight.

My Lord also seems well.

I am so happy for you.

coincidentally, the princess who was just

released from her duties has returned to the

capital and will be coming for a visit.

Is that so?

I heard that you have yet to meet her.

Yes

I hear that she is a person as pure

as the river that run through lse.

I birthed my Lord and the new emperor,

and just you two brothers, but faith in

bloodlines are a funny thing,

and the fact that you will meet your half-sister

today must be one of those faithful meetings.

On another note,

I have heard gossip that there

has been some miscommunication

between you and the new Emperor.

It seems we have tainted your

ears with trifling matters.

It's just something that doesn't sit well with me.

What was the matter?

It concerns the next Emperor.

Now the Emperor is my brother and

he controls the government,

but I was promised that my son

would be next to take over the throne.

But it appears that the promise

has been overturned.

I even heard that you may renounce your family.

I was upset and I did say that.

I learned that when it comes to one's own child,

one can easily be taken over by anger.

But I heard that Lord Tokimune was

finally able to change it to your favor.

At this point, even the internal

matters of the palace

can't be solved without the assistance

from those in Kanto.

They saythe pure waters of the forest

makes a woman beautiful,

and the princess seems to be

a shining example of that.

For a person who spends their time oblivious

to the rapid changes of the outside world,

I am lost for a response to such a comment.

I'm sure your mother is delighted by your return

I would like to communicate my

feelings to ltsukinomiya.

Shijo, please take me to her.

You are so restless.

I am supposed to show

Ms. Itsukinomiya around Ajari,

so wait at least until tomorrow night.

To enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom one

must not even waste a single day.

You choose words to suite your feelings.

Regardless, just show me the way

cherry blossoms are beautiful,

but the branches are weak and

the flowers easily fall off.

Once you pluck it off you are already

thinking of your next love.

Going about it that way makes a woman gloomy.
