“Huh.”
Was it a dream?
It felt so real that it was uncomfortable.
‘Ugh, what a weird dream, seriously.’
If Zero were here, he would have definitely chuckled and said it was a weird dream.
‘Without that hamster making a racket by my side, I end up having strange dreams.’
Shaking off the unpleasant lingering feeling by shaking my head, I got up from my usual spot and started my day.
Today, the sorcerer from Quina was coming through the warp gate. It wasn’t necessary to make the mansion overly splendid, but it needed to be neat.
The butler and housemaid were tirelessly cleaning the mansion, and even the servants inside the mansion were working hard, sweating profusely. Dust was being swept away, brooms were being used, and the floors were being vigorously mopped.
It was busier than when the Pope announced his visit with an arrogant attitude. Everyone was enjoying the bustling atmosphere, even though it seemed excessive for just one sorcerer.
“Our esteemed guest may provide clues to the culprit behind the zombie incident. Pledge the honor of the Kittan family! Nothing should be lacking, even the slightest!”
“Jane, it might be a good idea to change these curtains. The mansion shouldn’t look shabby. We should reinforce the power inside the mansion to prevent it from looking inferior to the noble act of the Duke and his colleagues fighting zombies outside.”
The butler, Patrick, and the housemaid, Miliana, were especially aggressive. I told them there was no need to overburden themselves due to some subtle sense of duty, but…
“Oh my, what are you saying, Duke? This is a matter of the Duke’s prestige.”
“Hanyang is right. And if we look at it closely, we are indebted to the Duke’s life. We should do our best.”
“By that logic, I am also indebted to the servants for providing me with food and a comfortable bed.”
“Oh dear, just kidding. It was our duty anyway.”
Hmm, I was serious though. I couldn’t stop them when they insisted with determined eyes.
Just as I was about to quietly let myself be absorbed, the housemaid Miliana blinked.
“Alright. Lina! Emily! Rose! Let’s get the Duke ready!”
“Oh, yes!”
The three of them rushed over like chicks and pulled me along. In the blink of an eye, I was perfectly dressed from head to toe.
“Oh my, Duke! It suits you so well!”
“…Really?”
With the addition of decorations to the conquering attire I wore during the video calls with local lords, it became more sophisticated. It was also practical, tailored in the form of a trouser suit for convenience, allowing me to fight right away without any issues.
Although my appearance with gold and lavender-colored diamond accessories was a bit awkward.
“Is it really necessary to go this far…”
“It’s for the sake of overwhelming presence!”
“That’s right!”
I didn’t meet the sorcerer to beat them up…
Unable to fathom it, I laughed, and Emily, with extra effort in her eyebrows, said.
“Even if we’re holding out in the crevices from the zombies, I want to show that Duke Kittan is in good health. It might be a presumptuous thought about a maid’s duty, but… that’s how I feel.”
“…….”
“And, Your Grace, no matter what anyone says now, you are our proud Duke.”
My heart fluttered. The corners of my eyes and the tip of my nose felt tingly.
I am being recognized by the people in the mansion.
While feeling the pressure to clear quests, I’ve been running forward without looking back. But with the warmth of these kind people, I found myself unknowingly sniffling, as if my nose would run.
“How charming your heartfelt words are.”
“Hehe, thank you!”
In the end, I was caught by the maids and received quiet grooming. The hair, which was tied up with a single strap, was neatly combed, intricately braided, and coiled up.
“It suits you well.”
“Thank you.”
I wondered when another day like this would come while in this world. Will it be possible the day we clear out all the zombies and go out? With that thought, I headed to the reception room. Sherry, Jacqueline, Jessica, and Cloud were already seated. Seeing that the main seat was left empty, it seemed like that was my place.
“Duke, you’ve arrived!”
“Everyone looks splendid. The maids’ skills?”
“Yes, the Duke also seems to have suffered quite a bit.”
Sherry and Jacqueline, who usually moved around like researchers, had also grown into the appearance of noble ladies at this moment.
“Who is going to welcome the sorcerer?”
Jessica asked in a somewhat hesitant voice.
“My colleagues. They decided to go and welcome instead of me.”
“I see.”
“The gate is in the duke’s garden, so they’ll be here soon.”
Jessica nodded, flicking her gaze, and chewed on a slightly squishy, muddy donut. Looking at the donut covered in sugar, I even felt as if the fight with the zombies had already ended.
‘When will Zero come?’
Just looking at desserts made me think of Zero. I wonder if this damn hamster is failing in the divine realm. He said he’d be back soon, but it’s been days since he disappeared.
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.
