@strawberryicedtea Nope, I'm from the western end of Asia :) And I only speak Japanese, but I can still feel your pain about the royal titles ;_; I think I encountered that "lady wife" meaning of the word the most in Japanese; so my brain is automatically converts 夫人 to wife 😅 I should read more...
@strawberryicedtea In Japanese, they use "夫人" for kadın. "Wife" is the first translation that comes to mind, but it also means "consort". Maybe I should change the TL (although it would maybe confuse everyone even more after this point), thanks! Court titles don't always have equivalents, I...
@moichispa That obelisk is still there, and it has been since the Roman Empire :) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obelisk_of_Theodosius The Romans were ahead of their time, seeing how the French put an obelisk in Place de la Concorde centuries later :p
Ibrahim's mansion overlooks the square...
You tell him, girl. You tell him! Seeing Hürrem stand up against İbrahim felt so satisfying.

Mio's falling down the shota trap.
But seriously, this story is just breaking my heart. Those two really care for each other. Thank you for working on this!
Ahem, I really liked what Shinohara put in here, so I'll share it with you.
When Sokollu Mehmed is talking to İbrahim, they show a fountain-like thingie. What is it? In Ottoman architecture, fountains are commonly used for practical and aesthetic reasons, but in places related to state...
@strawberryicedtea We are in too deep, I guess :) I like having someone to talk to about this manga. I'm happy with the way they are now. At first, Suleiman regarded Hürrem as a plaything to amuse himself with, but now I feel like he genuinely likes and respects her. Bed scenes were giving me...
@moichispa I'm so happy to see that this manga has a following and I can talk about it here. I know no one who reads this manga, so it's fun talking with you all :)
@ka-ish Thank you for reading my ramblings :) I stop myself from putting T/Ns eveywhere in the manga when translating, and come...
@pawbean Nice catch! It really shows the two women's relationship with him. I can also interpret it as Gülbahar seeing Süleyman as an object of worship and Hürrem seeing him as a person. That might be why he values Hürrem's company more. He must be sick of people prostrating before him :) I can...
