Patrick and Jim rushed to bring the woman presumed to be Sienna.
The moment I saw her, I almost opened my mouth like a fool.
‘I-It’s, it’s really Sienna.’
“Good heavens, it’s truly Sienna!”
Even Zero, perched on my shoulder, screamed.
“It can’t be!”
Jim’s words were correct.
The woman with radiant blonde hair and emerald eyes was undoubtedly Sienna Evergreen.
Due to her somewhat fidgety demeanor, it was not easy to recognize her immediately, but unmistakably, this woman was Sienna.
“Now, this is Lady Elizabeth Kitten, the Duchess of Kitten. Our owner, and the pillar leading the survivors. Please greet the Duchess, our unidentified guest.”
“Oh, hello, Your Grace.”
“…….”
Even facing Sienna, Patrick, the butler, treated her casually as an unknown guest.
It seemed like he intended to treat her thoroughly as a visitor who had come to visit the Duke, not as the Duchess, until I acknowledged her as the real Sienna.
It was a grateful loyalty, but seeing Sienna, whom I thought was dead, appearing in perfect human form made me feel dizzy.
‘How on earth…?’
My mind turned blank like a white sheet.
Zero, too, was in a state of great confusion, just like me.
‘I-It’s impossible. It’s impossible to resurrect someone who’s already dead. Even if you call it a god, resurrection can’t be done as one pleases…!’
In front of us, the woman, or rather Sienna, who couldn’t hide her astonishment, had a frightened expression.
“…Your Grace? Did I do something impolite?”
“…No.”
“But your complexion has been really bad since earlier. Did I unintentionally bother you by impulsively visiting the Duke? I’m sorry if I did.”
“That’s not it.”
‘…It’s certain. It’s Sienna’s voice.’
Even her good-natured side, considering others before herself.
This woman was undoubtedly Sienna.
It was even a proof that she had the emerald necklace.
‘…Then am I becoming a criminal who tried to assassinate the Duchess?’
Strangely, that thought came to my mind first.
I was wearing a forced businesslike smile when Sienna opened her mouth.
“Do you happen to know who I am, Your Grace?”
“…….”
‘You… even if it was a momentary lapse, the corners of your mouth sagged.’
Damn. It seemed distorted for an instant.
‘Whether it’s fortunate or unfortunate.’
For me, Sienna’s memory loss was a blessing.
If she had retained the memories from the time when she was a zombie, she would have tried to kill me.
Even an angelic heroine like Sienna might not have forgiven someone who had struck her forehead with a high heel.
But…
‘Now, Sienna’s existence itself is a huge obstacle for me.’
My party members, who I gathered with great effort, consisted of three characters from the original work. They were the three who had intensely unrequited love for Sienna, the sub-male lead of the original work, and tearfully gave up on her after being pushed away by the main male lead, the Crown Prince.
‘If they find out that Sienna is alive and well… will they actively cooperate with me as they have done so far?’
I couldn’t easily answer the self-made question.
Who wouldn’t turn their eyes away when the person they loved but had to give up on came back to life? Originally, I had asked them to work together for Sienna’s sake, but if this continued, my party members might scatter in all directions.
Of course, I didn’t show any signs outwardly.
I smiled and answered Sienna’s question.
“…Well, I guess. Judging by the circumstances, Lady, you seem to be someone I know….”
It was just an evasive answer to buy some time.
‘Zero! Quickly, confirm whether the Sienna in front of me is a real person!’
“Ah, got it!”
‘Hurry!’
It was too hasty to draw a definite conclusion.
Jim, who heard my ambiguous response, looked puzzled, and Patrick, the butler, barely raised an eyebrow.
Among them, only Sienna was pleased with my words.
“Oh, really?”
Sienna, who had lost her memory, sparkled her eyes. It seemed like meeting someone who knew who she was made her happy.
“Yes. But considering the situation, Lady, if you could give me some time to organize my thoughts so that I can be sure if you are the person I remember.”
“Of course. Actually, I feel grateful that you let me in so willingly, even though I came here uninvited and caused trouble for the Duke.”
While shyly blushing and expressing her gratitude, Sienna made me uncomfortable.
It wasn’t because of the guilt coming from killing Sienna, who had become a zombie.
‘…Is it really true that she lost her memory?’
One thing still didn’t make sense to me.
Even if this woman is indeed Sienna, why did she run away to the Kitten Duchy of all places?
I couldn’t explain and understand it with any logic, so the woman in front of me seemed suspicious.
‘If this woman is a mutant zombie, it’s a big problem.’
If a zombie that looks and acts like a human has appeared, it could cause significant trouble in saving the world.
“Thank you. As a survivor and as an imperial noble, I did what I had to do.”
“Your Grace, you are truly humble and courageous.”
“Hahaha….”
Dragging the time, I urged Zero.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
