Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 271: The Royal Family’s Decision

Prince Khalid understands what Yue Xuexia’s words mean. The third queen’s life can be saved however she needs to become a new existence and the human race was never a fan of something unknown.

As expected, the third prince turns his head and looks at his royal father who had a stern face at this moment. The two of them stared at each other’s eyes and finally, the king shook his head. Making the third prince despair and move his head to look at his elder brother who was meeting his eyes and didn’t know how to answer and was about to cry in extreme sadness.

Suddenly, the crown prince speaks up.

Crown Prince Rasheed said, "Ayuha al’ab almalaki, madha ean alqawl lilealam ’ana al’amir althaalith walmalikat althaalithat mata fi hadithin. daeuna namhu wujudihim wabaed dhalika..."

Translation: [Royal Father, how about saying to the world that the third prince and the third queen died in an accident? Let’s erase their existence and then...]

The king of the sand country was enraged and reprimanded his eldest son, "Rashida, triduni ’an ’atabaraa min ’akhik althaalithi! hal tasmae kalamak bishakl sahihin!?"

Translation: [Rasheed, you want me to disown your third brother! Are you hearing your words properly!?]

The Crown Prince said, "Lays hadha ma qasadathu! la tujad mamlakat taqbal kaynan fdayyan mjhwlan fi biladiha, nahik ean alsamah lahum bialwujudi. ’aerif hadha jydan ’ayuha al’ab almalaki! walihadha alsabab ’aelam ’anak lan taqbal malakatan tufayliatan fi qasrika. ’ana faqat ’atlub mink alsamah lahum bialrahili. faqat qum bimahw wujudihim lihadhih aleayilat almalikati, lihadha albalad wadaehum yughadirun mkanan ma beydan ean saytarat ’ayi balda. khalid ladayh jaziratuh alkhasat alati laysat jz’an min ’aradi alkathirina. daehum yaeishunahum hunak bisalami. ’atamanaa lahum faqat ’an yaeishuu. ’ala ’astatie hataa ’an ’afeal dhalik li’akhi?"

Translation: [That isn’t what I meant! There is no kingdom that would accept an unknown alien to their country much less allow them to exist. I know this too well, Royal Father! It is because of that, that I know you will not accept a Parasite Queen in your palace. I am only asking you to let them go. Just erase their existence in this royal family, in this country, and let them leave somewhere out of any country’s control. Khalid has his own private island that is not a part of many one’s territory. Let them live there peacefully. I only wish for them to live. Can’t I even do that for my own brother?]

Silence descended in the hall. Lord Junna’s father wanted to speak up something to the king but halted when he saw his own son shaking his head towards him. It was then that he realized that his son was supporting the crown prince for this idea.

The king of the sand country questioned, "Hal ’ant muta’akid ’anaha lan tuhajim khalid baed andimajiha mae dhalik alshay’i?"

Translation: [Are you sure that she wouldn’t attack Khalid after she merges with that thing?]

The crown prince turned his head to look at his third younger brother and asked him, "Hal ’ant ealaa astiedad lilbaqa’ bijanib walidatik hataa alnihayati? hal ’ant maswuwl ean qatliha ’iidha astayqazt kashakhs akhara? hataa ’anaha qad tusbih whshan."

Translation: [Are you willing to stay by your mother until the end? Be responsible to even kill her if she wakes up as someone else? She might even become a monster.]

A strong determination can be seen in the third prince’s eyes and in the tone of his voice.

He declared, "Astatie ’an ’afeal dhalika. ya ’akhi, sa’akun mswwlaan ’amam ’umiy hataa alnihayat wa’iidha... ’iidhan tahawalat sa’aqtuluha biadi. ’ayuha al’ab almalaki, ’arjuk ’an tatabaraa min aibnik eadim alfayidat hadha. ’ana asf lieadam qudrati ealaa khidmat eayilatina wabaldina."

Translation: [I can do it. Brother, I will be responsible to my mother until the end, and if... If she transforms I will kill her with my own hands. Royal Father, please disown this useless son of yours. I’m sorry for not being able to serve the family and our country.]

The third prince, Khalid, stated as if making a promise. He stared at his father’s eyes, determined to push through to this decision until the end. He is willing to give up his privileged position as a royal prince and live on an island away from the other countries and land with his mother who might have woken up as a monster or a new kind of her.

After a short silence in the throne hall, the king gave up and let out a long and depressing sigh and finally agreed to his son’s suggestions.

The king of the sand country declared a royal decree at this moment. "Arsil alkalimat ’iilaa albalad bi’akmalihi. kan al’amr mwsfan ’iilaa hadin ma, lakina hadha almalik faqad ’amiri althaalith wamalikati althaalithat fi hadithin. ’iinahum fi tariq eawdatihim ’iilaa eashiratihim al’umi eindama tama aightialuhum ealaa yad ’aeda’ biladina. sayatimu tartib aljinazat khilal hadha alshahra."

Translation: [Send the word to the whole country. It was rather unfortunate but this king lost my third prince and my third queen in an accident. They are on their way back to their maternal clan when they were assassinated by our country’s enemies. The funeral will be arranged within this month.]

As the king said these words, he was looking at his brother, who is also the noblest after the royal family. Lord Junna’s father and he himself kneel down before the king and accept the decree.

Lord Junna and his father as well as the two princes accepted the decree of the king.

The king of the sand country looked at Yue Xuexia and bowed his head. "Amirat mun, min fadlik ’anqadhi almalikat althaalithat waeilmi abni althaalith madha yufeli? ’atawasal ’iilayk kazawj wa’ab."

Translation: [Princess Moon, please save the third queen and teach my third son What to do? I beg you as a husband and a father.]

Everyone except Yue Xuexia’s group was surprised when the king of the sand country lowered his head to someone. A king is the figurehead of a country. However, at this moment this old man wasn’t speaking as a king but instead as an ordinary father and a husband.

Yue Xuexia returned the bow and responded politely to an elder. She said,

"Sa’abdhul qusaraa juhdi. waeilmuh aydan altariqat alsahihat lilziraeat wakayfiat altahakum fi alwade ’iidha kanat alati tusaytir ealaa aljism hi al’umu altufayliat walaysat almalikat althaalithatu. wamae dhalika, lan ’afeal ’aya shay’ ’akthar min allaazim, ’akbar daeim lah fi alnihayat hu ’antum waeayilatuh faqat."

Translation: [I shall do the best I can. Also, teach him the proper way to cultivate and how to control the situation if the one who dominates the body happens to be the mother parasite and not the third queen. However, I will not do anything more than needed, his greatest supporter in the end can only be you, his family.]

The king of the sand country smiled and said, "Sayakun dhalik ’akthar min kafi ya ’amirata. sa’uelin tatwijak ka’amirat jadidat wa’uetik qiteat ’ard fi hadha albalad litakun ’aradik alkhasatu. sa’ueamiluk mithl aibnati alhaqiqiati."

Translation: [That will be more than enough, Princess. I will announce your coronation as the new princess and give you a piece of land in this country as your own territory. I will treat you like my real daughter.]

Yue Xuexia said, "Iidhan asmah li ’an ’ueamil jalalatak ka’ab ruhiin."

Translation: [Then allow me to treat Your Majesty as my Godfather.]

The king of the sand country happily becomes Yue Xuexia’s Godfather. Under the gaze of the royal family, Yue Xuexia helped the third queen completely merge with the Mother Parasite. She had fallen into a short coma after the treatment.

The whole treatment took a few hours as if a long surgery was done. With the help of Shen Jueyang and Taiyang, she had also placed a rune on the third queen which prevented the mother parasite from overpowering the weakened soul of the third queen.

Yue Xuexia is now explaining things to the third prince, Prince Khalid.

"Al’ahruf alruwniat alati wadaeatha ealayha satasmah laha bialsaytarat alkamilat ealaa jasdiha. wamae dhalika, la yumkin ’iinkar ’ana ruhaha qad daeafat. sa’aqum bi’iijra’ aitisal laha. wabima ’anaha nayimat fala yumkin ’iietawuha laha ’iilaa mithl dikistruz. bimujarad aistiqaziha, sa’aqum bifahsiha maratan ’ukhraa wa’uetiaha majmueatan ’ukhraa min al’adwiat ’iidha lazim al’amra."

Translation: [The runes I placed on her will allow her to have full control over her body. However, it cannot be denied that her soul had weakened. I will make a concoction for her. Since she is asleep it can only be given to her like a dextrose. Once she is awake, I will once again check on her and give her another set of medicine if necessary.]

She added, "Bialmunasabati, mae suqut al umi al tufayli ati, sayusab ’atfaluha ’aw almudifun almusabun bialhayaji. yajib ealaykum ya rifaq tanzif albalad bi’akmalih eindama yahin dhalik alwaqtu."

Translation: [By the way, with the mother parasite down, her children or infected hosts will go berserk. You guys should clean up the whole country when that time comes.]

Lord Junna said, "Min fadlik atruk dhalik lay. wasawf ’atau akad min ’anah sayatimu altaeamul maeaha bishakl jaydin. kayf yanbaghi eilajuhum?"

Translation: [Please leave that to me. I will make sure it will be handled well. How should they be treated?]

Yue Xuexia said, "Sa’uetik wasfatan tibiyatan tukrihuha altufayliati. bimujarad haqnih fi almudayfi, fa’izah yakhruj min aljisma. wamae dhalika, fa’iina dhalik sayaetamid ealaa madaa altazamun aladhi kanat ealayh altufayliaat mae mudifiha. ’iidha kan al’amr mithl almalikat althaalithati, fasawf yamutun ealaa alfawr baed khuruj altufayliati. la ’astatie eilaj hadha aleadad alkabiri."

Translation: [I will give you a prescription that the parasites hate. Once injected in the host, it would come out of the body. However, it will depend on how synchronized the parasite is with its hosts. If it’s like the third queen, they will instantly die after the parasites come out. I cannot treat that many.]

The royal family and everyone else know that they couldn’t save everyone. Just treating one queen tires Yue Xuexia so much that her complexion turns pale. Asking her to save everyone is like asking her to sacrifice herself for their country. If they asked her to do such a thing, the Huaxia country would definitely not take it well.
