@JWChibi - That seems like a plot hole to me as well.
She could have have him killed then and there for spreading the rumours regarding the emperor and the crown princess, entering the palace illegally and undermining a royal’s authority. He lost the power struggle and died, so apparently it...
Thanks for your excellent work!
Such a shame this ended so soon. This was a great feel-good manga. A bit like ‘Arte’, but in Paris instead of Florence and with clothes instead of paintings.
@suhan - I have read chapter 3, but he seems to be simply an adopted brother. In order for him to be the FL’s brother-in-law, he would have to be the husband of the FL’s sister. Unless the story suddenly develops in a way where the FL has a sister she never knew of and her adopted brother turns...
@Tatherwood - I notice the same mistake with a lot of translators. Somehow the difference between a step-brother and a brother in law (or step-sister and sister in law for that matter) seems to be a complete mystery to many. It both amazes and annoys me in equal measure each time I read it.
@MinerOfSouls Thanks! Unfortunately that only shows up to chapter 32 for me. I was just able to find chapter 37 on Asura’s website through Google though. For those interested: https://asurascans.com/ive-become-the-villainous-empress-of-a-novel-chapter-37/. In hindsight, I could’ve guessed the URL.🙂
I can only find up to chapter 36 on Asura’s website (https://asurascans.com/manga/ive-become-the-villainous-empress-of-a-novel/ ). Does anyone know where to find chapter 37?
For those that can’t wait for more chapters, 1stkissmanga.com has a good translation up to chapter 16.
edit: It’s called “ Royal Shop of Young Lady” over there.
It looks like Marie is turning into Rachel’s Tom Hagen. 🙂
I know Marie is hoping Rachel will grant her her freedom when she becomes princess, but all she is doing is making herself indispensable for Rachel’s functioning in the palace.
Personally I don’t consider this sniping if the original group hasn’t updated for months. If they aren’t interested in a series anymore or don’t have the time, they should give others a chance to pick it up.
So, thanks for picking this up.🙂
