Product Information

In the aftermath of a major war, she was the only royal heir left, becoming a queen regnant note meaning a queen who rules as sovereign in her own right, unlike a queen consort who is just the spouse of a reigning king in a traditionally male-dominated society. However, there is great pressure on her to marry another noble from the royal bloodline and have children who will inherit the royal magic. Since her noble suitors would be likely to assert their own authority if one of them became her husband, she's asking Zenjirou—a long-lost descendant of a crown prince of Capua who fled to Earth with his lover—to marry her. And what's in it for him? All he's got to do is make children with her, and she'll happily let him laze around in the palace while she does all the governing. Horse of a Different Color: The southern continent of the other world mostly uses reptiles as mounts and beasts of burden. They're referred to as drakes and wyverns and so on. Además de eso hubo una guerra y es la única sobreviviente de la casa reinante, por ello Es apremiante que tenga descendencia, y le aporta el reino un heredero al trono, de lo contrario podría haber una guerra por la sucesión.

Aura falls in love with Zenjiro because of his gentle nature and his willingness to help her in any task she needs, even though she had agreed he would not have to do anything. In March 2018, Seven Seas Entertainment announced that they licensed the series for English publication. [35] Volume list [ edit ] No. A very male fantasy in which a Japanese salaryman named Zenjiro is pulled through a portal by a large-breasted queen who proposes that he ditch his breastless real-world rat race, marry her large breasts, and become her kept man and consort in a no-tech world of magic and large breasts. It's a no-brainer decision. Silk Hiding Steel: Lucinda, first daughter of the Margrave of Gajeel, and later wife to General Pujol, appears a slight, gentle lady. However, she has a calculating mind and razor sharp intellect. She correctly assumes her husband's rival and counterpart from Navarra, General Martin Nadal, will be attending her wedding despite him not being named as a member to the Navarra's delegation, and has a room prepared with a chair sturdy enough to hold his large frame as well as sweets which he dislikes. Later on after an incident between Lucinda's younger sister and a Navarra knight she arranges for her father and General Martin to coincidentally be in the same room at the same time while waiting for a private audience with the now-married couple. This allows the leaders to meet and discuss how to resolve the incident while having a cover for their encounter during these problematic moments.

It is fascinating to read how two different cultures clash and how simple things could influence opinions and behaviors. What if instead of spending weeks on calculating kingdom budget you could do something like this in hours or minutes. The Twin Kingdom of Sharou-Gilbell has two. The Sharou royal family has 'Bestowal Magic' while the Gilbell royal family has 'Healing Magic'. Fantasy Counterpart Culture: The Kingdoms are based on medieval European cultures, judging from the names and aesthetics. To wit:

Royalty Super Power: The royal family of most countries has a unique magical power passed down through the bloodline. There are exceptions though. The Ideal Sponger Life: Volume 6 (Light Novel)".

I already kind of gave up on Isekai due to having some boring elements such as extremely strong or extremely cowardly protagonists, completely passive heroes or Tsundere hysterics. But Risou no Himo Seikatsu seems to be one more at first glance, but it is not. Superstitious Sailors: Uppasalan sailors have a wide array of superstitions, many of them relating to the captain's relationship to the ship. There is a symbolic marriage between the captain and his ship, which they consider female: Traditionally, the captain should be an unmarried man, and a married captain is required to temporarily divorce his wife before a voyage. A woman must dress as a man while in command. In addition, the captain is expected to stay onboard to masturbate after coming into port while the crew goes ashore to find a brothel.

Reviews

Happily Married: Zenjirou and Aura grow to love each other, and in fact it surprises the court just how much Zenjirou adores Aura and wants no other woman.

Yamai Zenjiro islargely motivated by wanting a more relaxing lifestyle than previously afforded fem, but feir sense of duty and obligation makes it impossible for fem to be a complete sponger. Aura Capua is the queen of a male-dominant country and has to deal with the tension such a power dynamic can cause. Fabio Deubaje is Aura's aide and often helps fem work through problems; fe's also doubtful of Zenjiro's actions. Lord Puyol Guillen is the captain of the knights, who ride on land dragons similarly to how Owen Grady rode on velociraptors inJurassic World.Puyol is blatantly ambitious, but also fiercely loyal to the country and crown. Count Marguez is supposed to be an example of how all the nobles act to some decree,with every action having a concealed motivation tocurry favor and gain political influence.

Crushing Handshake: General Pujol and his old wartime rival, General Martin Nadal, greet each other at Pujol's wedding with a handshake so intense it looks more like arm-wrestling. Pujol's new wife Lucinda steps in before it escalates any further.Then there is Queen itself which is not your typical character. Stands strong as a Queen and has her own goals where main "hero" is basically her tool for her power. Not your average transported to another world theme. Its a far cry from the cliche summoned to another world novel, its about politics and relationships rather than OP MC, tragic story, epic battles, gods & demons, saving the world, nope, none of that nonsense(i do actually love specially crafted cliches btw). I would say it appeals to a certain range of audience only.
