Page 3 [] King of Hakuyoukoku // Haku Reishou “…Therefore, Your Majesty, it’s time for you to consider changing your mind…
“…What you are saying
“Is that if I do not have many concubines, // I will be unable to display my authority, is that right?
“Yes, Your Majesty. // I am proposing this for Your Majesty’s sake…
“Well, then, [] People call him
Page 4 [] A cold, heartless ‘Wolf King’. “Bring me the people who said this of me.
Sfx: shudder “Let’s try and see // if they dare say the exact same thing to my very face.
“…Why don’t we start off with you? Sfx: shock
“I… I dare not, Your Majesty! // Your Majesty’s power is truly radiant…
“…Is that so. So it was just your groundless apprehension.
“…I only need
Page 5 “One concubine.
“Oh my,
“Gifts from His Majesty to me…?
“These are fine jewellery pieces of exquisite workmanship // which were imported by foreign merchants.
[] I, Tei Yuurin, // am the only consort of the Wolf King. Sfx: ba-thump ba-thump “…These jewellery…
Page 6 “I wonder how much they’d fetch if I sold them… Sfx: ba-thump ba-thump ba-thump “Yuurin. “(Sfx: Y…) Yes! Sfx: shock
“How is it? Do you like them?
“That was close. ST: phew “(ST: Y…)Yes…
“(ST: Ah,) These pieces of jewellery are indeed fortunate to be worn by the young and beautiful consort.
“Ho // hohoho. Sfx: fidget fidget fidget
“…Of course, you are lovely just as you are,
Page 7 “But you should sometimes dress up beautifully and be a feast for my eyes.
Sfx: sweat dripping (x4) “...Of course… // Your Majesty…
Sfx: smile smile “…Goodness, // I wish he’d spare me from this job…
“I can’t go on like this… Sfx: stop
“Of course,
Page 8 “Those pieces // were rented. “I request that you return them when you resign from this job. “…Is that so… (ST: I thought as much…)
Sfx: disappointed [] …My real official job position is the ‘temporary bride of the Wolf King’.
[] This is just a job I was hired for in order to make it easier for the Wolf King to turn down marriage proposals. Sfx: sigh… Sfx: sparkle sparkle Sfx: sparkle sparkle “(ST: Urgh.) For someone like me who destroyed the fixtures in the inner palace and has to live a debt-ridden life, these are truly tempting. (ST: The sparkle of gold…)
ST: By the way, this person is His Majesty’s close aide, Lijun-san. “Handle them with care! ST: He’s my superior for this job. “Okay…
“I’m sorry, Yuurin. [] …And
Page 9 Sfx: downcast “We’re quite tight on finances…
“I really wanted to give them to you… ST: It was non-negotiable…
“P…Please don’t let that bother you!! Sfx: downcast ST: You don’t have to feel so terrible because of it!!
“Your Majesty! Frugality is a virtue! There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Sfx: energetic
“The matter of how I should save money secretly day after day is also important to me… ST: (I don’t have surplus money these days though…)
[] …This puppy-like youngster // is actually the true nature of that Wolf King.
[] Due to his ascension to the throne at a young age, // he acts as a fearsome ‘Wolf King’ so that other countries and his ministers will not take him lightly.
[] …This is an important secret which only a handful of people know, even within the inner palace. Sfx: smile smile smile
ST: Ah “But during the time that you’re the consort, // everything is yours, Yuurin, so do use them without reservations.
“…Yes…
Page 11 Sfx: jangle “…He said all that, but… // for me to walk around with such an expensive object…
“I usually only buy cheap items // that I’ve bargained for from peddlers downtown… ST: Lower your price! (T/N: Actually used to negotiate for lower prices.)
[] Jewels I’ve never before seen in my life… // Praises sung for the ‘Consort’…
[] I ended up continuing with this job, // but at times like these,
[] I end up acknowledging that I don’t suit them at all.
Page 12 [] Those beautiful outfits… Sfx: blush Sfx: whump
“(ST: Well,) Maybe next time! Sfx: sigh
[] I should not harbor such misleading thoughts. (T/N: misunderstand?) // Without that ‘Wolf King’,
[] I am just a fake consort // who will return to my original lifestyle after repaying my debt. “Consort!
“Did you fancy the various items I brought the other day?
Page 13 “Eh? // Yes, very much. “The merchant… “I have brought various accessories today. // Would you like to have a look?
“Ah, no, // I…
“Don’t have money… “They’re all rare items from foreign countries! // I’m sure you’ll enjoy looking at them, at the very least! Sfx: smile
“(ST: Ah,) The ladies-in-waiting are free to have a look as well! Sfx: Kya! Kya! “I…I guess.
[] Business enthusiasm, huh…
“This is a light blue sapphire necklace which is rather hard to obtain, even in the west. // And these are…
Page 14 “All these goods can only be found here. //And at such amazing prices… Sfx: Kya! Kya!
[] …For some reason, [] He feels similar to those shady peddlers // that I usually see downtown. (ST: They usually act like this, too.) “But well, the ladies-in-waiting look like they’re enjoying it.
“Consort? “You may continue what you’re doing. // …I’ll be returning to my room first. Sfx: turn “Since I have no money.
Page 15 Sfx: tap tap tap “…Consort.
Sfx: jangle “Please take this. “Eh? [] A hair ornament?
“It was unexpectedly delightful to have the ravishing consort listen to me.
“Please accept this as thanks. “Eh?
“If you ever feel like getting anything, please call for me. // Farewell! Sfx: tap “Ah.
Page 16 [] Is flattering the consort his strategy, I wonder?
“It doesn’t look too expensive. // It makes it easier to put on… I guess…
“…Your Majesty…
“Would you like some tea…?
“Yuurin?
Sfx: ba-thump “(ST: Ah) Umm… you were in the middle of working?
Page 17 “It’s fine. Come over here. Sfx: clatter
“Work just piled up, so I brought it back to the inner palace to work on it.
“When I’m in the palace, I have to be proper and everything, // but when I’m alone in my own room I can be at ease with myself… ST: Sternly like this ST: Somehow, I’m not sure which direction I should look in… “(ST: Oh…) I see…
“Why not make yourself at home? // I’ll take a break when I reach an appropriate spot. “Yes… []…Within society,
Page 18 [] He has the fearsome image of a ‘Wolf King’, // but he’s always working seriously, isn’t he…? ST: From dawn till dusk. “There’s so much work… “Umm… // If there’s anything I could do to help… ST: Like arranging stuff and other simple tasks…
Sfx: smile Sfx: chuckle “It’s fine. // Thanks.
Sfx: clatter “…Speaking of which, // His Majesty rarely ever speaks about his work to me. ST: Well, I don’t really understand politics and stuff, either.
Page 19 “…When he’s working, // he does resemble a ‘Wolf King’, I guess. (ST: He has such a serious face…)
[] The King who cannot show any openings // since the palace is teeming with enemies.
[] …If I were a real consort, [] I wonder if he’d discuss more matters with me…
Page 20 [] …A fake consort is rather useless. Sfx: sigh
“…Huh? Yuurin, // did you ever own that hair ornament?
“He’s quite sharp. “Ah, // (ST: Umm,) this is something the merchant gave me as an extra.
“…Where’s the one I gave you? Sfx: remove “Eh?
“Umm… that was too expensive, // so I didn’t have the courage to put it on…
Page 21 “…That merchant was acting quite thoughtlessly. // Perhaps I should control his entry and exit from the palace from now on. “Eh?
“EH!? // But that was just a business strategy, it didn’t mean anything…
[] Why!?
“…The fact that you’re covering up for him “Just makes me want to suspect him even more.
Page 22 Sfx: clang “Wha…
Sfx: Bam! “What’s with you…!!! Sfx: shock
“Well, I’m sorry // for just receiving an item!!
“Yuu…
“In any case, // you didn’t have to go into your act just because you’re unhappy about something! // You’re an idiot, Your Majesty!
“(ST: Ah) Yuurin, your hair ornament… “I don’t need it, idiot!
Sfx: step step step “Your Majesty. “So you were here, Lijun.
ST: I just came. “…Does she still think that the ‘Wolf King’ is just an act?
“…Even if you have two personalities, // both of them are your true nature. ST: Should I call her dense or something? Sfx: chuckle “I guess I’m just straightforward. // She’s not around me much, so I guess it’s new to her.
Page 24 “…You should play with her in moderation, you know? // …She’ll be returning home very soon, after all.
Sfx: jangle “Your Majesty,
“Where did you obtain it? // That thing…
Page 25 [] What’s with him!? // What’s with him!? ST: Consort… ST: I wonder if she’s alright… [] He didn’t have to say it in that way!
“I haven’t been able to face him since then… Sfx: Grrrrr
[] Well, // I guess I was wrong for not putting it on even though I was told to do so, but!
[] And I guess I was wrong for receiving stuff for free too, but!
Page 26 “They’re sparkling, how beautiful… [] At the very least, // I wish I were beautiful, [] Or that I were a lady of good upbringing…
[] I can’t change how it is, even if I think this way. [] No matter how I dress up, I am who I am.
“…These real things // don’t suit a fake consort, after all…
“…Consort.
Page 27 “I was asked to pass this to you.
“…A letter?
Page 28 “…Your Majesty?
“Is anything the matter? You asked me to come alone to such a place…
“…Consort.
“Why are you here? // I was supposed to meet His Majesty…
“…I asked a court lady to deliver that letter to you. // I wanted to talk to you alone no matter what…
[] Wha…
Page 29 [] Could it be that His Majesty’s suspicion was correct…!? (ST: How could that be!?) “Since His Majesty is not here, I will take my leave. Sfx: turn “Ah, // Please wait!
“I don’t want him to be angry at me in that manner again!
“…If you go back, “It’ll be troublesome for me, Consort.
Page 30 “What are // you doing?
“I deeply apologise. “This is my true occupation.
[] An assassin…!! “A consort is just like a decorative jewel for a king.
“However, many people believe that // those jewels are not appropriate for you.
Page 31 [] ‘Not appropriate’… “Wouldn’t that be terrible for His Majesty? “If only you didn’t exist, // His Majesty would then be able to look at other jewels.
“So please,
“Die, for the sake of the country, and for the sake of His Majesty…
Page 32 [] …You’ve got to be kidding me!! Sfx: bite
Sfx: fwip “S… // Such a barbaric woman!
Sfx: scratch
“Shut // up!! Sfx: Splat “Urgh! Sfx: Sand attack!
Page 33 “Ah, // Stop! Sfx: run
[] Who the hell would stop!? Sfx: run “I have to escape somehow to a place where there are people…!
Sfx: run [] …What’s with ‘I’m doing it for His Majesty’!?
[] He’s just one of those people // who want to obtain something for their own benefit, isn’t he!? Sfx: run run
Page 34 Sfx: fwip “…
Sfx: rustle “…After contemptuously rejecting countless ladies for the inner palace, // this is the consort he’s chosen?
“To be so devoted to a consort like this… “I see, the standing of the Wolf King has fallen indeed.
Page 35 “It’s no wonder the bigwigs are so concerned about it.
“…You’re probably right. “I’m not worthy to be a consort, // …but
“The merit of His Majesty isn’t altered by who his consort is!
ST: Haha. “What a persistently strong-willed consort. “…However, this will be the end of you.
Page 36 “…!! Sfx: ba-thump
“Oh my, // has fear finally gotten the better of you? Sfx: appear
Page 37 Sfx: Bam! “…!
Sfx: ba-thump
Sfx: ba-thump ba-thump “…Ah…
Page 38 “It seems like you’ve been doing whatever you please in my palace, // merchant.
Sfx: Guh…
“Doing business with me // …will cost you a bomb, you know. Sfx: clang
Page 39 Sfx: shiver [] The Wolf King…!
“Your Majesty…!! // Hold it… please calm down…!!
“…What’s this? // Pleading for your enemy’s life?
[] …The Wolf King is fearsome. // …Even more so compared to the assassin. Sfx: ba-thump Sfx: shock “…Tha…
Page 40 [] But… “…That’s not true! // If you don’t force him to spit out who the mastermind is,
“Your enemies won’t decrease in number, isn’t that right!?
Page 41 “…Goodness,
“…There’s no other consort as devoted as you, // Yuurin. Sfx: ba-thump ba-thump
[] …Your Majesty… “…We’ve successfully captured // the three high officials who were the masterminds behind the incident.
Page 42 “To infiltrate the palace, // they probably substituted the real merchant with the hired assassin.
“About the modus operandi of the assassin, // …he first allows the ladies-in-waiting to let their guard down by presenting them with cheap articles such as hair ornaments. Sfx: gulp
“Furthermore, by using sweet words, // he’s able to sell dirt-cheap goods at exorbitantly high prices. ST: And in addition, he also finds comrades to cooperate with him? [] He’s an assassin and a merchant all in one…!?
ST: My, this is strange. ST: You think so?
“Still, the consort’s bribe was surprisingly cheap… // and while I was investigating it, I heard that you had been called out… My, that was terrible. ST: His Majesty made it in time. I’m really glad. “I demand special compensation. ST: I was on the brink of death. ST: Tsk. “It can’t be helped.
Page 43 Sfx: moves “As for the ‘gifts’, // they’re all real, so don’t be afraid to use them.
“It really suits you. // You’re cute. Sfx: smile
[] …I tried mustering my courage, but…
Page 44 [] …Just as I thought, // they don’t suit me. Sfx: smile smile smile smile “Thank you very much. “Why does he look so happy…?
[] Expensive jewels, words of praise, [] …The naïve Wolf King, // …and the fearsome Wolf King…
Sfx: ba-thump [] …But, // even if they’re not suitable for me,
Page 45 [] I still believe I can at least be your ally // when you’re surrounded by enemies. “…The sparkle of gold is still tempting, though. ST: Urgh…
“…Yuurin.
“Yes!? Sfx: twitch
[] I hope he’ll put a little trust…
[] In the only consort of the Wolf King. Sfx: chuckle “…About those things… “They’ll be yours permanently if you stay on as a consort.
Page 46 Sfx: smile [] But I have to be careful.
Sfx: blush
“What are you saying!? // This is such a dangerous job! ST: Eek!
“If I continue doing it, my body won’t be able to take it! “Eh…!? ST: I thought it was a great idea, though. “That’s not what you should say!
[] …The sweet words of the Wolf King // are laden with many traps.

Pg 2 “How many times do you want me to say that I’ve had enough of this nonsense!?” [King of Hakuyoukoku // Haku Reishou]
“Will you comprehend only if your head is severed from your body?”
“P-… // Please forgive my insolence, Your Majesty…”
[The young king, who suppressed the rebellion shortly after his ascension to the throne // and managed to secure authority within the court…] “You are dismissed.”
Pg 3 […People call him a cold and expressionless “Wolf King”…] ST: inner palace
“Consort!” […and // I, Tei Yuurin, am his only concubine.] “What happened?”
“Apparently His Majesty rejected another marriage proposal. // And I heard that this time, it was the famous Han family, too.” “He doesn’t care about family prestige… //As I thought, His Majesty’s love //belongs solely to Your Highness, Yuurin-sama!” Sfx: giggle […I must not…]
Pg 4 […allow my smile to falter.] “That’s right, // my consort.”
Sfx: freeze ST: Y… “Your Majesty!?”
Sfx: smile
“(ST: Eh?) When did you return to the inner palace, Your Majesty!?” “I just did, of course.” Sfx: grin [The way he appears out of nowhere is bad for my heart!]
Sfx: Kya!
Pg 5 “I wanted to see your face as quickly as possible.”
Sfx: blush “…” “Yuurin, were you lonely while I was away?”
Sfx: sparkle sparkle (x4)
“Thought bubble: …Urgh.” “…I…” “I was very lonely, Your Majesty…” “I see.”
Sfx: smile
Ladies-in-waiting who proceed to retreat in silence… Sfx: softly […Argh…]
Pg 6 [What’s up with this cheap acting!!]
“Ah… I’m beat! //Yuurin, good work!” Sfx: smile
“…Thank you for your hard work…”
Sfx: smile smile […Cold.] [Uncompassionate.] [A Demon God on the battlefield.]
Pg 7 [The “Wolf King”, who commands fear not only from his ministers, but also from other countries… //…Is actually an act to deceive everyone around him.]
[His consort (in other words, me) / is only a temporary one that he installed in order to reject marriage proposals…]
[…And this national secret is something that very few people are aware of, even within the palace.] ST: Let’s have tea, okay! // You prepared it so carefully for me… // Serve it please… ST: Okay, okay. Please wait a moment. “ST: He’s actually like this…”
Sfx: smile
“You’re getting used to it, aren’t you, Yuurin? //The role of a bride.”
Pg 8 “Of course I’m not used to it!! //I’m working so desperately for the pay…!” Sfx: gloom ST: If you slip up, your pay will be deducted…
[…The other day, after breaking some expensive fixtures here, //I was forced to lead a debtor’s life as compensation.]
Sfx: grr… “Although I was originally tricked into coming here…”
[…And thus, // Even though I’m not suited for it, my days of acting as the Wolf King’s bride started.] Sfx: sigh
“…Well, there isn’t a job that gives better pay than that of being a temporary bride, so… //…I don’t have much of a choice.”
Pg 9 “…Do you hate being my bride… //…that much?
“Yes. //I do.” Sfx: sad ST: She looks really unwilling…
“But, //It’s not like I hate Your Majesty or anything, you know?”
“It’s just that,” “He looks like a puppy that is being scolded…” “It’s not my style to deceive people!” Sfx: sad
Pg 10 “At any rate, I’m just not cut out for it.” [Recently, the court ladies have been telling me how much I’m loved. //It’s disconcerting…] Sfx: kya kya
Sfx: katak Sfx: sigh “I guess it’d be much better to have someone who’s good at acting…” Sfx: blow blow
Sfx: gulp
“…Yuurin.” “Do you actually hate me?”
“Huh?”
“What are you saying…” ST: Didn’t I just say that I don’t hate you?
“Ah, I’m sorry but… //Hold on a moment. Don’t drink that.”
“…This tea”
Pg 11 “Has been poisoned.”
“I didn’t do it!”
“…Well, //All culprits would say that…” “Wait!” Sfx: Gatak Sfx: Ahem “Jokes aside, //The poison was placed not in the tea, but in the teacups, //Both of them.”
“…In other words, the teacups had been secretly coated with poison before you poured the tea.” “After you ensured His Majesty had drunk from the teacup, you were planning to get rid of the evidence, weren’t you…?” Sfx: sigh “Like I said, I didn’t do it!”
Pg 12 ST: Well, “I’ve accustomed to drinking tea in Yuurin’s room, //And if the culprit knew that, it’d be easy to wait for an opportunity to strike, don’t you think?” “Still, I’m glad I was the one who drank it first.”
Sfx: smile “I’m more resistant to poisons.”
ST: I reluctantly have to agree.
“For the time being, test everything you eat for poison from now on.” “…H-…” “How can you be //so calm about this!?”
“…Because I’m used to it?”
Pg 13 “…D-… //Don’t get used to stuff like this!”
“Argh, unforgivable… //The culprit’s tactics are way too unscrupulous! Using poison!?” “If he has a problem, he should say it to our faces!” ST: Those minions here are so…
Sfx: pfft
“It’ll be all right. I’ll carry out an immediate investigation.” Sfx: smile smile smile “So Yuurin, calm down, //Okay?” “…”
Pg 14 …That’s what His Majesty said, but… “He clearly doesn’t grasp the gravity of the situation… //Even though I’m really worried here!”
Sfx: glare “…Now that it’s come to this…”
“A suspicious //person?” “Yes… umm… //Around… His Majesty…?”
“This poisoning incident must not be made public! (ST: We’re still investigating it!)” “How should I say it…”
“…Consort…”
Pg 15 “By any chance, //Are you worried about His Majesty having an extramarital affair…!?” Sfx: shock
“Eh… //EH!?” ST: An affair!? “Al-…Although the court ladies do admire His Majesty,” “Consort, you’re the one His Majesty adores!”
“You have no cause for worry.” “There is no one who would be able to break the strong bonds of love between the two of you, my lady…” Sfx: sparkle sparkle sparkle “I…I see…”
“…There’s still no news //regarding the poisoning incident…”
[“Bonds of love between us”, huh…]
Pg 16 [The truth is, //I’m just doing a job as a consort.]
[There’s no way His Majesty would allow his heart to be captured by anyone…]
[While he continues his act as a Wolf King.] “No leads, huh…”
[]Even so, []It must be really lonely, isn’t it…
[I’m not good at acting the role of a bride, but… //…If I could at least become some of his strength…] “Yuurin.” Sfx: step
“Your Majesty.”
Pg 17 “Are you alone?” “…Yes.” [(ST: Oh my.) He looks like he’s in his role. ST: Because we’re in a corridor?]
“…It seems that //you were going around asking people things.” “What’s that all about?”
“Ah, //umm…” “Did he hear about that?”
Pg 18 “Eh?” Sfx: Don
[Eh?] “Y… //Your Majesty…?” Sfx: ba-thump [What’s with his stance…]
Sfx: ba-thump “…I have been a lax husband to you. //Originally, I had no intention of restricting your movements,” “…But,”
Pg 19 “…Besides being my partner, //There is no need for you to do anything.”
Sfx: ba-thump ba-thump
“Don’t do //anything unnecessary.”
[Unnecessary…]
Pg 20 [Does that mean that… //…My fears are…] [Unimportant?] “Yuurin?”
“…I refuse.” Sfx: glare
“I’m… //taking it upon myself to worry about you!”
Sfx: Push “Let go!”
Pg 21 Sfx: step step “Jeez!”
[Whatever! //His Majesty is an idiot!]
Sfx: freeze Sfx: kukukukuku “Your Majesty!? //What on earth are you doing?” “So…sorry… it’s just… ST: so funny…”
ST: Ahh~ “I failed to convince her. //…She escaped.”
ST: Goodness, please stop doing that in such a place! “…Did you tease her again? //That behavior of yours isn’t good, “Wolf King”.”
Pg 22 “…She still //thinks that that is an act, doesn’t she?” “”How long are you going to continue this farce for?”
“…But…” “…If she knew that this is the real me, //Yuurin would run away, wouldn’t she?” “…Well, you have a point.” ST: That would be the more prudent course of action to take.
“I don’t mind her being angry at me, but… //…I don’t want her to hate me.”
Pg 23 “I tried talking to her to the point of being annoying. //…I guess I’ll do whatever I want then.”
“Where are you going, Your Majesty?”
“To a little rendezvous.” Sfx: fume fume “What “husband”!? //He thinks that I’ll listen to him while he’s in that act of his!”
Sfx: pissed pissed
ST: Hmph! “Now that it’s come to this, I’ll try looking for clues by putting up a reward!” Sfx: Huh?
“…Oops, I took a wrong turn.” “This place prohibits entry.” ST: It’s so spacious it gives me a bad feeling…
Pg 24 [Eh? //What’s that girl doing in this place…] Sfx: look look
“Wah! //Looks like she’s coming here!”
Sfx: Bam!
[I… //I hid immediately, but…] Sfx: sneaky sneaky ST: I don’t think anyone would get angry at me…
“This way.”
“…His Majesty!?”
Pg 25 “…Eh?”
[He’s alone //with a court lady //In a room where people don’t enter?]
[Is this the so-called phenomenon of] [An extramarital affair!?] Sfx: EHHHHH!?
[In addition,] [He’s with that girl who repeatedly talks about how much I’m loved by the king…!?]
Sfx: ba-thump
[…Ahh, but this //Isn’t exactly a betrayal, is it?] …After all, I’m just…
Pg 26 …A temporary bride… Sfx: throb
“…Didn’t you //call Yuurin here, too?”
[…Me?]
“Yes. I told her, //”I’ll be waiting for you here.””
[…!? //But I certainly don’t recall that…] ST: Wait for me here?
“I’m sure you’ll be able to see her soon, Your Majesty. //Please wait for a little while.”
Pg 27 […??? What was that?]
“…So, //Should I go and greet him…?” Sfx: peep
“…With such a weak poison,”
Pg 28 Sfx: katak “Did you not realize that //You cannot harm me? Or are you after something else?”
Sfx: Clatter “Your Majesty? //What are you saying…”
“I was just… //serving you the tea that my lady made for you…”
“…It figures. //In that last poisoning case, the consort ended up in quite a difficult situation as well.”
[…Eh!?] Sfx: ba-thump
Pg 29 Sfx: crash
“Don’t make a fool of my consort.”
“If she wanted to poison me, //she’s the sort of girl who would have told me to drink it directly.”
“…No way… //But… I didn’t…”
Pg 30 Sfx: swoosh
“Kuh!”
Sfx: clang
“Tch!”
“…Who hired you? //…The one who wants to see the consort lose her position…”
Pg 31 “…Minions who attempt to stir trouble in the inner palace,” “Or seek revenge against the “Wolf King” are plenty.” “…Who hired you? //Whose scheme are you carrying out?”
[The person standing there is] [the terrifying]
“I’m //alone…”
“Do you think I’ll believe that?”
“…It… //It’s true!”
[Wolf King.] “…Y…”
Pg 32 “Your Majesty!!” Sfx: appear
“Consort…?”
“Yuurin? //Why are you in here…”
“…She’s //not putting up any resistance.” Sfx: ba-thump
“Don’t treat her so roughly…”
Pg 33 “…She’s //the one who attempted to frame you.”
“…P… //Please.”
…Is this an act? Those cold eyes…
[This fearsome Wolf King…]
Pg 34 “… //Bring her away.” [The “Wolf King” is]
“Yuurin.” Sfx: flinch
“…Never do things like search for assassins in future.”
[someone who doesn’t require me to worry about him,]
[A strong, fearsome person.] “…Just like how you worry about me,” “I worry about you, too.”
Pg 35 “Please stop doing things like //jumping headlong into danger.” […But still,]
Pg 36 [Why is he still…] “Yes…”
[So good at pretending to love his consort?]
[…I think… //the Wolf King is a little sly…]
Pg 37 “Why are you two //loitering around, doing as you please?!”
“In the first place, since you were attempting to catch the culprit, //You should’ve obtained real, rock-solid evidence!” Sfx: smile smile “But if I left it at that, I thought that Yuurin would be in danger.”
Argh! Geez! Sfx: sigh “…For your information, regarding the culprit,”
Sfx: Teeheehee! ST: Bye bye, thanks, my lady! “She already deceived the prison guard, stole the key, //and escaped laughing gleefully.”
[Wha…]
Pg 38 [Wha…] “Her escaping skill was commendable. //She was probably a spy originally sent to infiltrate this place.” “Coincidentally, there was also that marriage proposal from the Han family, //but the evidence for that is…” [Wha…]
[What amazing acting skill…!!] Sfx: freeze Sfx: Sink “ST: Yuurin?” “As expected, there are pros in this world…!”
“Yuurin?” ST: Are you okay?
“…I’m very sorry, Your Majesty… //I’m truly useless…”
“Not just that, I do such unnecessary things…” ST: Ahh! I’m the worst!
Pg 38 ST: Should I consider changing jobs…!? Sfx: gloomy “Around me,”
“There are tons of people who attempt to poison me with a calm face.” Sfx: smile
“That’s why,” “I’m really glad to have you worry for me and get angry at me.”
“…Okay? This is… //…your job, Yuurin.” Sfx: smile […I’m not good at //Deceiving people,
Pg 39 [or acting,]
[But if he says he needs me,] ST: Is that really fine!? ST: Yup, it’s fine, it’s fine. “Ahh, he looks so happy…”
[I guess I’ll continue for a while longer…]
[…As the bride of the Wolf King.] “…Just now, //I thought I felt a fleeting feeling of the “Wolf King”, //It was my imagination, …wasn’t it?”

Pg 5 [Palace of *Hakuyoukoku (T/N: literally Country of White Sun) / further in the interior of the palace] Umm, /I heard that there was a temporary palace job being offered…
[…Somebody, please tell me if this is a dream or an illusion.] That’s right. / We’d like you to take on this job in the *inner palace for a month (T/N: where the harem is)
/ Tei Yuurin-dono. Sfx: ba-thump, ba-thump [This is impossible!]
As His Majesty’s temporary bride.
Pg 6 Wolf King’s Bride (Ookami Heika no Hanayome) Chapter 1
Pg 7 Are you kidding me!? I’ve never heard about this…!! (small text: father…!!) Apparently an acquaintance knows a great paying job! (Text on man: Low-ranked government official father.) “Details will be announced after employment”… / I did suspect something, but… Sfx: quiver quiver
No qualifications are necessary. You merely need to pretend to be a consort, hiding the fact that you were employed. / It isn’t a difficult job.
It doesn’t have anything to do with difficulty! It’s suspicious! (small text: It’s weird!)
From what I gather, I’ll have to be that / Infamously cold, expressionless Wolf King’s bride!? …What’s up / Aren’t you going to shake hands with me?
Pg 8 Sfx: swallow This person will be staying only for a short while. / There will also be the problem of your successor, which you will have to face in the future.
What, how boring.
Just when I thought a cute rabbit had come.
He feels like a carnivore!! (text in mouth: Eeeeekkk!!)
[…The title “Wolf King” /was the title given to the young king, Haku Reishou,] [After successfully suppressed the rebellion which occurred soon after his ascension to the throne /and enforcing discipline the central government.]
Page 9 […He’s an unapproachable and aloof king, /who, with his icy gaze, manages to force people to submit to him…] Sfx: Dizzy dizzy I was so afraid that I couldn’t say “I can’t”…
But it was true that it’s a high-paying job Ah, but… (background: (on top) Money money, (below) suspicious, scary)
…I guess I’ll say I quit! Sfx: turn
To that glasses guy!! Thought bubble: If His Majesty is there, then perhaps next time… Sfx: loiter loiter
But, Wait… Don’t I have less free time from this strategy? Please don’t let your guard down! Even though she may have left the room… (small text: Eh…) But… Please don’t reveal that to her! (fading bubble) Eh? EH!?
Sorry, Lijun (Note: or Rijun, whichever you prefer) /The bride was still here~
Eh! /What! Didn’t I ask you to go back to your room!?
(Small text: Ahhhh… the plan… Oops…) He looks totally different compared to just now!?
… /The country has finally become peaceful…
Pg 11 …Hence, the officials have been pressing His Majesty to get a wife (small text in box: It’s a harem, by the way) Sfx: ba-thump ba-thump …but, /If His Majesty were to have concubines,
If it was ever found out that the “Wolf King” was actually this sort of person, /It would get rather messy Sfx: smile
…In other words Sfx: stare
“The cold, expressionless Wolf King” is… Sfx: sigh …An image strategy to deter /officials and other countries from taking advantage of him.
In other words, a BLUFF!?
(small text: besides) When I turn down marriage proposals, it’s hard to reply with a reason.
There’s no other way, so /just for a while, I thought I’d hire a temporary bride to evade this problem. Sfx: smile
Pg 12 […No way…] Small text: I wonder if they’ll accept it, even if it’s just temporary
…Regarding this matter… If it ever, even accidentally, slips out from your mouth,
I’ll eliminate your entire family from the face of this earth, Side text: so please take note. Sfx: menacing
No way!!! Small text: annihilate my family!? This is a joke, right…?
Side text: How evil… This is a scam… Small text: Because I was attracted by the money…
Sfx: sigh [“You just have to act like his consort in public.”]
…Consort, /His Majesty has arrived.
Pg 13 Eh? Sfx: impact WHY!?
Sfx: chuckle …Regardless of rhyme or reason, A husband must spend time /by his consort’s side, right?
B… [But… Isn’t…]
[The “Wolf King” supposed to be…] Sfx: chuckle …Such a fresh face.
Everyone is dismissed. /You’re making the consort embarrassed. Now there won’t be anyone to disturb us.
Pg 14 Since I ordered them not to… Sfx: silence
Haa…My shoulders are stiff… Sfx: plomp
Eh
Ah, /I’m sorry if I scared you. Lijun said I should do this for the time being. Sfx: dazed Small text: It’s for appearances.
[(small text: Wha…) What an amazing change in personality!!] So…You won’t… Sfx: fidget fidget
I won’t do anything. /I’ll sleep here for now, so /Don’t mind me, Yuurin. In between box: “Don’t mind me”, huh…
(small text: Ah) …I can’t?
(small text: Do I even have the right to refuse…?) …Go ahead…
Pg 15 [It looks like…] Small text: Ahhh, I’m glad! Sfx: happy Instead of a wolf, he looks more like a puppy…
…I’m really glad that you found out that it was all an act. If I were to keep up this pretence all the time, it’d be tiring. Small text: Well, it adds to your job description, having to keep this secret, though.
…Do you always… /have to act like this all the time? Even in front of the court ladies and the officials?
…Because, what the country needs now /Is a strong king. Sfx: smile
Pg 16 Did you know? During the reign of the previous king, /The officials held the authority, and the king was just a figurehead, so it was hard to regain control. (side text: The central government was in a mess.)
…So when I ascended the throne, /I was told to act like a “Strong and scary king”…
…So that’s why…
[…He was pretending to act like that contrary to his true self…?] I’m sorry, that was such an uncool thing to say.
…Even if you had to lie or act, /It’s for protecting the country, isn’t it?
That’s really cool, /…I think…
Pg 17 Background bubble: Beneath the illusion of the cold, expressionless wolf king, Thank you.
Background bubble: lies a gentle, smiling king. …That’s right. /Even though the reasons are shady, I’ve agreed to take up the job.
In short, I’ll just have to see through it, don’t I?
(small text: All right!) Your Majesty! /If there’s anything I can do to help, please feel free to ask! Sfx: Insistent I’ll /work hard according to my salary!
Thought bubble: Ah, /I accidentally said my true feelings.
Yup, /I’m counting on you Sfx: chuckle
Pg 18 […And so, /My life as a temporary bride started.] (text by bubble: Hoho) Great enthusiasm. /Please give it your best shot! (beside person: As much as you’re paid!) Yes!
Outlined: For the time being Being friendly in front of the court ladies. Sfx: hoho
Being friendly in front of the attendants.
Princess training. Sfx: sigh You don’t even have an ounce of elegance.
…Spare me the crap. B… /but, Your Majesty… (small text beside bubble: Just one look…)
That’s enough. Leave. Ah. /It’s His Majesty. (small text: he looks angry…)
…Even so, what acting prowess he has… Sfx: sigh
Pg 19 […Even looking from a distance, /the atmosphere around him is scary.]
Sfx: happy happy How did that become like this?
Yuurin.
Sfx: ba-thump …Yes!
Pg 20 […Oops] […I was too surprised /by his act as a Wolf King.] Small bubble: (S… Sorry for disturbing you when you were talking…) (It doesn’t matter)
…Oh my, there you are, consort /You look energetic today. Small bubble: (Um, I’m sure that was…) Minister. Small bubble: (The one who expressed discontent that the King taking a consort…)
Oh my /You are such a lucky person, Your Highness Sfx: smile His Majesty, who until recently had no concubine,
Declared that he didn’t want any concubine besides you, Sfx: stare
And declined all other marriage proposals. Small bubble: (What?)
Pg 21 …Well Sfx: Haa Did you manage to get what you really wanted? /Do you not see that you are troubling His Majesty?
[Just now…did he look at my face and snort through his nose!? (small text: What a disagreeable guy!)] Sfx: sigh (beside bubble: Geez) Overriding the opinion of us ministers and deciding on a consort by himself… /In the end, he will be the one who will be troubled.
[…So it wasn’t just that anyone could be his consort, huh…] …Did you honestly approach His Majesty with his welfare in mind?
The reason why he chose me was because I had no ulterior motives to start with. Thought bubble: Well, I was actually employed, though.
I believe you already know…why His Majesty stayed away from people like you.
Sfx: annoyed …What do you mean by tha-
Pg 22 …Do you have any business with my consort? /Minister. …You seem to be favouring her an awful lot lately.
…I don’t have a choice. To me, from the tips of her hair to her toes, /I love her so much that I can’t stop myself. Sfx: blush
Pg 23 She is my bride, after all. /Isn’t this affection normal?
Tha…that is… /I shall take my leave before I become an eyesore, then…
…Well, people like him /want to install their own daughters into the inner palace.
Sfx: stifle Sfx: shake shake shake And this is how he plans to control the king from the shadows… /Ah… You picked a great fight with him, Yuurin… (small text: amusing…)
…You’re enjoying it too much.
…I don’t like pushy people like him.
He’s always smiling on the surface, but…
Pg 24 …The palace is filled with people like that. /For their own benefit, they can lie and put on a smile on their face for you. But once they think that they have no more use for you, they become your enemies.
…That sort of relationship is just like a fleeting illusion.
…Your Majesty… …For a person with such a gentle personality, It must have been hard surviving in an environment like this…
(small text: Ah!) …Umm, /It’s temporary, /And I’m paid, And maybe I’m not in the position to say this, but,
Jeez, that little brat! /Looking at me with those disdainful eyes. Sfx: step step What’s with the “Wolf King”!?
A king only needs to listen to us and be a puppet, that’s all.
[I mustn’t, I mustn’t] Sfx: ba-thump, ba-thump
Pg 28 [Don’t be mistaken. /That was just an act of his, as well.] Sfx: thump thump Sfx: Haaa (exhaling) Bubble: Like this in reality
Sfx: ba-thump
What I’m actually seeing is a momentary illusion. (Small text: Stop blushing, me!)
Pg 29 Yes, everything is proceeding as planned. Sfx: wander Small bubble: I received some sweets Small bubble: It’s time for tea with His Majesty… Thanks to her, it was easy to turn down those marriage proposals.
Small bubble: Is he here?
What’s left is That conniving fox’s actions.
[What are they talking about?] Small text: fox?
As expected, the fastest way to deal with him /is to have a catalyst, such as having the existence of a consort. Sfx: ba-thump
Pg 30 …Eh? Your Majesty stating that she was your “only concubine” was enough to stir him up, but… /…She was absolutely splendid as bait.
…Lijun, /about that…
Sfx: BAM
Sfx: shock
…I never /heard about that. …Bait? Sfx: crack …Was that /in my contract?
Pg 31 Yuurin, /that was… Sfx: Ka-tak
…So are you saying that as long as the lady isn’t of nobility, /it’s fine for her to face danger?
Wait! Sfx: turn
DON’T FOLLOW ME, YOU LIAR! /I DON’T EVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE ANYMORE! IDIOT!
…Lijun Small bubble: Eh …How do you plan to take responsibility for this, you bastard… Small bubble: EH? Small text: But it’s true…
Pg 32 …What?
Yuurin hasn’t returned to her room yet…?
…Because of his persistent
Pg 33 selfishness and unwillingness to listen, /His Majesty needs to be taught a lesson.
I’ll have you become a sacrifice to that end.
[…Does that mean that I acted according to those two’s plans!?] Small text: Yay! He fell for it! He fell for it! Thought bubble: When I was emotionally hurt… Small text: Crap, I let my guard down.
Well then, /while His Majesty is pining due to the loss of his favourite concubine, /my family’s daughter will comfort him. Thought bubble: So that’s his motive…
…I need a little gift for him.
Pg 34 Hey, missy. /Do you know anything about His Majesty that could serve as his Achilles’ heel?
…And what will you do if I tell you? Sfx: smile Hmm… /That’s right. I’ll spare your life, then.
…Liar. Sfx: glare Whether or not I say it, you’d still kill me, right?
[Since I’ve been cornered to this extent] Sfx: ba-thump …As you already know
Pg 35 [I have also been used by the king, not just this man.] The Wolf King is a fearsome person.
He’ll definitely find out about your misdeeds!
[…But, I did say /that I was his ally, after all…] Hmph /Stubborn little girl…!
Sfx: open …Stop right there.
Pg 36 I’ll have you /return my bride to me.
…!? Impossible! How did he find this place!?
…That’s because /we dispatched spies to suspicious people.
S… /Shit!
Pg 37 Sfx: clang
…Thank you for your hard work… …In serving me all this while. Sfx: kneel
That sharp gaze of his,
Pg 38 [Which would cause everyone to surrender in a second…] Sfx: ba-thump ba-thump ba-thump [Cold, and expressionless.] Thought bubble: He…he’s really scary…!
…Sorry, /I made you wait.
Sfx: ba-thump
Pg 39 [Even though I know that it’s just a pretence,] …Yes… [As I thought, the Wolf King]
[Makes my heart pound /to the point that it’s painful.] Small text: Ah! He fell for it, he fell for it! Small text: Damn it!
…Yuurin. Yes!
…I’m sorry. /I lied about the job…
Pg 40 Small text: but still I really intended to protect you. Small text: Like sleeping together in the room and stuff. Sfx: sad …In the end… …It still doesn’t change the fact that I used you… …I’m sorry…
Sfx: chuckle [Ah,] …he’s returned to normal.
It’s fine! Since you came for me, anyway. [The short contract period was]
Pg 41 [over before I knew it.]
…Well Overlooking the fact that I was used as bait, I got to wear pretty clothes, /eat delicious food,
[Was it a job with a great deal, then…?] Sfx: looks up Small text: I was protected, too…
That’s right. /An illusion /is something that disappears in an instant.
Yuurin, /are you done preparing?
Yes, all that’s left is to get my pay and leave. I see… [But, even though it was temporary, /even though it was just an act,] …Your Majesty,
Pg 42 Wherever I am, /I’ll surely be Your Majesty’s ally, So please remember that.
[I’m sure the bride] [fell a little in love with the Wolf King.]
…Yuurin…
…Goodness, that girl…
Pg 43 She thinks the “Wolf King” was all an act, but… …It’s not a bluff.
This is… /really hard to say, but… …well,
Yuurin, at that time, you hit the wooden partition in anger and broke it, didn’t you? …Because of that,
It seems like instead of being paid, you’ll have to return the debt. Word:…debt?
Small text: It was partially for the image, but… …There’s no lie in his achievements, you know? Small text in bubble: Repressing the rebellion, silencing the central government… There’s no way that kind of guy would be completely harmless.
…It’s an on-off phenomenon, but
Pg 44 He has absolutely no intention of letting his prey escape /…A Wolf King through and through! Sfx: Smile
But /You can return the debt anytime! Words in eye: debt
At the side: (Ah!) By the way, Yuurin I was planning to recruit another Temporary Bride… Small bubble: (Wha…) Small bubble: (Wha…) Sfx: faint
