CHAPTER 1: THE 31ST CONSORT ​①



"Rejoice Feria! You have been chosen to be the King's Consort!"



A bear-like guy, slams opened the door as his voice echoes throughout. It was such a loud voice that it even reaches the kitchen where Feria is currently peeling sweet potatoes.



Freia stopped her hands for a bit and then she grabbed a bucket and filled it with water and then she rushes right into the entranceway.



"Nii-san you've been drinking again aren't you?"


*SPLAT* (Eunie: sorry I'm no good with sfx translations)




And with a great force, Feria splashes her bear-like brother with a bucket filled with water. Drip, drop, drip, drop...the water continues to trickle down the body of the bear-man as the water droplets scatter around.




"Stop it! Nii-san!"








Feria who is also became a victim of the water that got splashed around, grabbed the apron she was wearing and wiped herself.




"I'm not drunk! You will really become the King's Consort!"



"Yeah, yeah. I get it. First of all, you need to drink some hot tea so you'll wake up a bit. Really, your such a troublesome huge Nii-san."


Feria returned to the kitchen to prepare some hot tea. Seeing her like that, Ricarro followed her into the kitchen. 


"And then you see Feria, you can become the King's consort!"




Feria's eyebrows scrunched down. Indeed, he doesn't stink of alcohol but what he's saying is just insane.





 
"Ricarro-niisan, the only ones who can become the King's Consort are generally those daughters from a family that has a peerage or court ranking nobles or princesses. There's just no way a country girl like me who raises herbs can become one. They won't even bother."




Feria said as she resumed peeling sweet potatoes. Tonight is the once a month special day where they'll be having an Imonikai/Sweet Potato and Meat Stew and since today they've got some sweet potatoes so tonight's dish of Imonikai will have a lot more sweet potato than usual.


(Eunie: Imonikai picture is down below)


The territory they live in is an inaccessible small territory surrounded by the rivers and behind it is the vast sea. Some people even call it "The Island Isolated by the Heavens". It's a small remote country by the borders of the Danan Kingdom. Here they focus on growing all sorts of medicinal plants.




Feria's brother, Ricarro is the feudal lord of this territory. Three years ago, they lost their parents through an accident and ever since then Ricarro has succeeded as the feudal lord. 




He's a novice feudal lord.




" *yaaaaawn*, Ricarro-niisan... ... your voice is too loud"



A tall person appeared inside the kitchen with messy hair, retorted while carrying a bucket of water. Again, the surrounding area got splashed by water droplets that have been dripping from his head. 



"Stop it, Garon-niisan!"


All Feria could do now is raised her voice in frustration as her apron falls victim once again. Garon who has been taking an afternoon nap at the herb garden was woken up by the loud voice of Ricarro. 




"Ricarro-niisan, did something happened during the meeting?"




Not minding the frustrated Feria, Garon looked over at Ricarro and asked him.



"I asked the feudal lord of the territory next to us for a favour to make Feria the 31st Consort"



 *SPLURT* 


Feria and Garon couldn't help but splurt out the tea they were drinking towards Ricarro's face.



"What the hell! You two that's dirty!"



"So that talk is real"





Garon, who is sleeping on the chair couldn't help but slumped down his body as he looks up at the ceiling while Feria was frozen with her eyes widen in horror.




"Ah...well... ...you see they couldn't really decide the person to become the 31st Consort. Since it's the 31st and the lowest-ranked those nobles didn't want to send their daughters to become one, even though they already offered it through out the Kingdom. They've tried to reach out to ordinary feudal lords or wealthy nobles but no one didn't come out that's why as some sort of last resort they reached out to us"





The kitchen fell into complete silence. Though indeed, twelve days have already passed and Feria will be entering late but who would have thought that the King's proposal will land to her.





Feria slammed her hands on top of the table.





"Well it will only be for a year so just go and enjoy it"





Ricarro said in a carefree manner.






"Ah well, that's true.  It's pretty obvious that the King will choose from someone of higher ranking and it is also written that there's no need to do any 'night duties' for a year and if I'm not wrong the 31st month comes only every three months?"






After saying that Garon sat down properly again as he pats the head of Feria who is sitting beside him as he yawned. 
 




"You... ...Didn't you used to say that you want to have a prince to receive you"





Ricarro said while grinning.




"That was ages ago already!"


Feria suddenly stood up and pointed her finger towards the carefree Ricarro. It was just some silly things she used to say as a kid. Feria couldn't help but become speechless at the foolishness of her brother.

"I've rejected all the guys here that's why if you go to the capital, a guy who'll see you might like you right?"



Hearing those words from Ricarro, Feria couldn't help but feel the blood rush into her head as she grabbed the former by his ear and yelled,




"They're going there to select the King's Queen! As if they'll allow the Queen candidates to meet with other guys!"











And this is how the 31st Consort Feria is summoned.
