It is a passive title but I would have to activate it manually every time I use it. I used it to confirm that Crown Princess is pregnant with a child.

 

Princess Masako, the daughter of Hisashi Owada, a former vice minister of foreign affairs and future permanent representative of Japan to the United Nations. She will become empress consort upon her husband's succession to the throne after fifteen years. But that is what will happen in other reality with me being here could lead to different outcomes in this one, but I what to help wherever I can. The world is already very different, some more changes will affect it, but if it is a good change; I am willing to accept the consequences.

 

The love story of her and the prince is also unique. They first met at a tea convention in Spain, in November 1986, during her studies at the University of Tokyo. She immediately captivated the prince and arranged for them to meet several times over the next few weeks. Because of this, they were pursued relentlessly by the press throughout 1987. 

 

However, Masako's name disappeared from the list of possible royal brides due to controversy about her maternal grandfather who while working for the Industrial Bank of Japan was assigned to take over management of one of its creditors, a Corporation, to prevent it from financial collapse. 

 

The Corporation, built in the 1930s, dumped the harmful chemicals into the water surrounding Minamata and other towns, causing the infamous Minamata disease and the resulting scandal.

 

Despite this controversy and Masako's traveling to Oxford University for the next two years, Naruhito remained interested in her. Masako refused to marry the prince because it would force her to give up her promising career in diplomacy and severely restrict her independence and freedoms. 

 

Masako finally accepted his third proposal on 9 December 1992. It was reported that he argued that serving as Crown Princess of Japan would only be "another form of diplomacy" before she finally accepted this third proposal. The Imperial Household Council formally announced the engagement on 19 January 1993; the engagement ceremony was held on 12 April 1993. Although many were surprised at the news, as it was believed that the prince and Masako had separated, the engagement was met with a surge of renewed media attention directed toward the Imperial family and their new princess.

 

Masako married Crown Prince Naruhito in a traditional wedding ceremony in 1993. Because of the marriage, Masako Owada assumed the formal style of Her Imperial Highness The Crown Princess of Japan. 

 

As tradition dictates, upon her entry into the imperial family and like other members, she received a personal emblem. Additionally, she was placed in the Japanese Imperial Order of Precedence behind her mother-in-law, Empress Michiko, and her grandmother-in-law, Empress Dowager Nagako. 

 

She became the third commoner to marry into the imperial family, after her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law.

 

The child she is carrying would die due to a miscarriage, but with my new title, and an early warning, I could save its life.

 

I also learned about IHA. Imperial Household Agency (IHA) is so powerful that it keeps an eye on every moment of the royal family members. Even Crown Prince Naruhito was not spared when he spoke without "permission" on his wife Masako's difficulties in adjusting to IHA protocol in 2004.

They always frown upon royality speaking in different languages in public. I can guarantee that there are a few of those people mixed with the guards present here.

 

" It is an honor to meet Her Imperial Highness The Crown Princess of Japan and Princess Kako of Akishino. Thank you for responding to our family's invitation. As you may already know, I am Samuel Rothchild. " I spoke in fluent Japanese with a slight bow to recreate some etiquettes. 

 

" You speak, can speak Japanese? I heard you turned eleven this year." She is shocked along with her companions.

 

" Ah, yes; It is a hobby. I tend to indulge in different cultures to understand them better." I said with a smile.

 

" Well, I am pleased that our culture interests you. You are too formal and with your manners, you don't really look like a normal eleven year old child. " she said with a slight smile.

 

" I get that a lot. I also noticed earlier that you didn't eat anything yet. Is there anything wrong? If you like something, we can prepare it for you. Palace has chefs from all over the world. " I tried to find an angle to make my point. Even if it's just a suggestion with high level people, any small thing will be investigated properly.

 

" Ah, well, I don't feel like eating and drinking. The favorite champagne which I love most days is tasting a little different for a few weeks now. " She also found it strange upon noticing.

 

" Well, I did a lot of research for my work and-- " I wanted to say it, but I waited to garner some curiosity from them.

 

" Work? " She became curious. My identity as an author will give some credibility to my assumptions; revealing it to royalty is no big deal as they are also very secretive people.

 

" Yes, I wrote ' The Hobbit' which is doing quite well in the industry. I use my pen name ' R.C. Abel' which could be taken as Rothchild's son. It is a bizzare name. " I said embarrassingly.

 

Everyone was taken aback again. They had heard about the book, which is a best seller in over 30 countries including their own. Many of their children are fans and with the announcement of a picture book, the hype is far from over. But they failed to notice the little princess who had already moved toward the so-called author and held his hands.

 

" Did you really write 'The Hobbit' ? Are you really Abel-sama ? " Princess Kako said; holding both of my hands between her hands. I am shocked, but there is a really big problem now.
