Hi, first of all thanks for your awesome work every week.
I was wondering why you translated the title of Connie as the "queen mother" instead of "queen dowager" of Viz version and other translations. The meaning changes quite a lot and could be a hint at the true identity of Bonney.

Keep up the good work and greetings from Spain.

As expect of cnet. Giving out better translations than Viz and the other translations that copy Viz or assume what Viz is going to translate it as. Making the proper translations by being simple and literal instead of unnecessary complicated and indirect. You are the OG of translations and the only one that translates like it was back in the day. Don't ever change.

PS: Leave it to cnet to be the one only not to forget to translate that Chapter 909 is coming next week.

I confess I'm not particularly familiar with the specificities of royal titles. When I looked up this one, I saw "queen mother" listed as an equivalent, which is a title I'm readily familiar with, so I used that.

On further investigation, it seems the situation is a little more complicated. It looks like the Japanese title 太后 is actually somewhat ambiguous - it's most closely associated with the widow of a former monarch, but apparently it has also been applied to the mother of a current monarch.

Of course, in most cases this distinction isn't very important, since the same person is likely to hold both statuses. If we had more information, I'd probably still go with "queen mother" since it's the more usual title to be actually used in English, but since we don't really have sufficient information here, I'll go with "queen dowager" for now since it's strictly a closer equivalent to the Japanese term.

Thanks for the answer. If both meanings can be correct, I agree with you that the title could refer to the mother of the queen. Cause if we suppose that Bonney is trying to create a false identity to infiltrate into the Holy Land, it makes sense to tell the guards that she is the mother of the queen, not the queen dowager.

However, the guard seems to recognize her before she says anything, so we can't confirm it yet.
