The joy of finally learning ‘Father’s’ name was short-lived.
“But it’s not good that you remember my real name. If it gets known to the surviving humans, who knows what consequences may follow.”
Kirie walked up, stepping firmly, and pressed her finger on Sienna’s forehead.
“Forget my name.”
“Ah…”
“The deceased Kieran Woreda was a fake. Remember me as the real Kieran. Erase the name ‘Kirie.'”
Just as Sienna had finally discovered ‘Father’s’ name.
While Sienna was speechless, a small magical circle unfolded from Kirie’s finger.
The red magical symbol drawn on Sienna’s forehead quickly disappeared into her mind, erasing all traces.
“Ah…”
A few minutes of memory vanished, leaving only one distorted name.
Sienna was perplexed, not knowing what she had been doing.
Inquiring into Kirie’s face, she asked, “What is my name?”
“Didn’t you just hear it with your own ears?”
To appease ‘Father’s’ displeasure, Sienna hastily responded, “Kieran… You said Kieran Woreda.”
A twisted smile appeared on Kirie’s face.
With eyes that seemed to cry but a mouth that smiled, it was a bizarre appearance, much like a weeping clown.
The crazy man who intended to reverse his elder brother’s name and bring about the destruction of the world felt no remorse whatsoever.
“Yeah, it’s unlikely, but just in case… If the surviving humans ever catch you and find out you’re a zombie, use this name.”
Though already dead and turned into dust, used for the sake of magic…
As there was no way for the survivors, unaware of Kieran’s whereabouts, to confirm his death, it was a believable measure.
“Understood, Lord Kieran. I will faithfully obey your command.”
Obeying submissively, Sienna was commanded by Kirie as if he was snapping.
“Now go and do your task. I don’t want to see your face anymore.”
“As ordered by Lord Kieran, I successfully infiltrated Kitten Mansion.”
As soon as the command was given, Sienna dashed out barefoot, wearing a blood-soaked white wedding dress.
The already coagulated blood emitted a familiar smell, but she ignored trivial details as they were of no help to the mission.
Walking at a pace matching a human’s speed, her clothes naturally turned into rags. To make it appear as if she had been appropriately attacked by zombies, she had to create wounds on her body or slightly tear her clothes.
Arriving at the mansion, it was too dilapidated.
Initially, people seemed skeptical, not knowing if Sienna Evergreen, the real princess, was genuine. However, as Sienna acted out the role of ‘Sienna,’ who had no memory, suspicions dissipated.
“Be kind and devoted to everyone. If you do that, even if you’ve lost your memory, those who remember Sienna will accept you.”
“Lord Kieran’s words were right.”
Sienna only followed the entered command. Although she didn’t know why it came out naturally, mimicking a benevolent person caused others to naturally lower their guard and treat her kindly.
Servants handled Sienna with caution, like dealing with an injured bird. Two noble maidens, close friends, expressed guilt and pity towards her.
Above all, the most intense reactions came from three men.
“Are you Ruth Kricheurn, Benedict Fairman, and Michael Ishterla?”
These companions of Elizabeth, Duchess of Kitten, burst into tears and expressed their joy upon seeing Sienna.
“Sienna, you’re alive!”
“That’s right. We believed you couldn’t have died.”
“Oh, God, thank you. I’m really glad to be able to see you again… I can’t express it in words.”
These three men, who were close friends with Sienna, were restless because they couldn’t do anything for her.
Ruth, the wizard, provided entertaining illusion magic for Sienna. Benedict, a spirit and fairy hybrid, daily brought flowers imbued with fairy blessings.
Michael, a knight, gifted skillfully crafted wooden dolls.
They gave Sienna heartfelt gifts and said, “Sienna, do you remember? You used to like things like this. Your smile, saying you’d cherish the carefully chosen gift, was truly dazzling.”
“…Sorry. I can’t remember.”
“Oh, I messed up. Forgive me, Sienna.”
“What nonsense between us. We were friends. It’s okay.”
Sienna’s memories were sealed by Kieran, ‘Father,’ when he revived her.
Though not completely lost, as a zombie with no intention or ability to break that seal, Sienna found these people uncomfortable.
“Foolish people. Just treat them appropriately, and it’ll be fine.”
“Thank you very much. I’ll cherish it.”
But Sienna didn’t know.
While she received gifts and disappeared with a bright smile like a spring fairy, Ruth, Benedict, and Michael wore masks of winter-cold expressions.
“This seems to be no lie about losing her memory. I’ve never shown Sienna an illusion spell even once, and yet she reacts like this.”
Benedict added to Ruth’s words, “But it’s strange. The flower I brought caused an allergic reaction in Sienna.”
“What did you say? What if Sienna has a seizure…!”
As Sienna disappeared with a radiant smile after receiving gifts, their expressions turned as cold as the winter air.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
