You know what?
I should mod-in Souma’s stat and play CK2 as Elfrieden characters (I think Souma is Midas Touched, but should Hakuya receive Elusive Webweaver or Grey Eminence? Or I just slap both of them and make him super courtier). I need to activate concubinage so Souma could marry 4 women though.
[1]大王Or the High King, or the King of Kings, or Basileus toon basileoon, or Shahanshah or Maharajadiraja. For those who curious, the ruler of Ancient Japan styled themselves as大和大王the Grand King of Yamato
[2]Borrowing from French camaraderie, from Spanish camarada, from cámara (“bedroom”), from Latin camera (“a chamber”). Literally “one with whom one shares one’s bedroom”. Since they will ‘share the shame bedromm’ IFYWIM. I like etymology.
[3]For those who weak in Norse Mythology: Utgard is the Anglicized version of, Útgarðar (literal meaning: "Outyards"), surrounded a stronghold of the Jotunn. It is considered as one of the three eternal world, the other two are Midgard and Asgard. In symbolic meaning, Utgard represent the land of the barbarians, e.g. peoples further from the heart of civilization, and (not or) the wild, whether be of nature, or body or mental states, which serve the elves description of a race previously rejecting the outside world.
Aisha means: "She who lives" or "womanly", which is a popular name in Arabic world, also an irony since Aisha lack womanly traits.
[4]The first is 東風侍, while the second one is 東風侍妃. 侍= means, someone who serve, a servant, a samurai. While 妃means Queen/Consort. Fun fact, in French the Queen of Cards are called as Dame. Dame de cœur, Dame de carreau, Dame de trèfle, Dame de pique. Actually I want to put it as Dame-Reine, but then it would become too weird…
[5]Remember that black clothes also have a figurative meaning as: someone who support behind the scene, the string puller, the stage hands.
[6]Hakuya >< Jeanne anyone?
[7]I could see, Halberd as being dominated by Kaede when they get married.
[8]Actually its 侍中a position of a direct retainer of a king or emperor, the word itself descended from the Central Secretariat 中書省from the classical Three Departments and Six Ministries system of Imperial China.
[10]SS= Super-sadist, the English counterpart of Japanese term “do-S”
