Life of a Court Lady Page #6

---

Whether it be a woman or a man,

one must be smart.

Once you get attached love becomes tainted.

Only in moments of truth,

the flowers of love bloom beautifully,

then the petals start to come off.

A graceful heart is one that feels a slight regret

yet does not lament over it and get saddened.

I feel bad for Ms. Itsukinomiya.

Are you not jealous, Shijo?

You just said such jealousy is not

part of a graceful heart.

You are absolutely right.

You must be the only woman, Shijo,

who can understand my heart.

Yet I fail to understand it.

It has already been three years

since your father passed away.

Who takes care of you now?

My mother's uncle Sir Zenshoji.

But recently, in his old age, he seems lonely.

That is understandable for Zenshoji.

For a wife that serves the palace,

one needs a powerful caretaker.

There also are those other things to consider.

What do you think of the

cinerary here in Fujimi?

There is a song by Lord

Fujiwara Toshinari that goes,

"Opening the morning door in Fujimi

and letting the Uji rivers dew flow in."

I always wanted to welcome

the morning like that,

and I finally was able to make it come true.

Thank you.

Indeed, it would be nice to be here

and see the visage of a lady

through the spring rain that divides the dew.

I see that even someone like

Saienji, who prefers politics,

can't help but remember the

songs of Lord Toshinori.

Or is it that you have a

new woman in the capital?

Lord, before the alcohol goes around too much,

I wish that you tell me the secrets of singing.

After receiving such a reception

there seems no way I can refuse.

Here, let us move over there

and I will grant your wish.

I also have a small request to make.

My child?

Where and what is my child doing right now?

She is growing healthy. Very healthy.

Under your care.

That daughter was born by our sins,

and I can not help but be concerned of her.

Please, please tell me.

I beg you!

I feel the same way.

The girl is growing healthily.

Please have faith in my words.

If I say under my care it will just cause

more chaos in your heart.

That is why I will only say healthily.

I hope you understand my

painful situation here.

Please, please raise her to be healthy and pure.

They will hear us in the other room.

By the way, you appear to be

even more beautiful as of late.

Sir Konoe's newly found obsession

is understandable.

Sir Konoe?

It's the first time I have gotten drunk in a while.

Suddenly I am hit by a strong drowsiness.

It was a very fun day today.

Ms Shijo?

There is something I would like

to speak to you about.

Will you come out here just for a moment?

Ms. Shijo, I know you're in there.
