Rozelia was taken aback, and in the midst of her surprise, Klaus’s expression became strange.
“I heard Antonio was in the closet’s room, so why are you coming out from here?”
Rozelia froze, unable to say anything. It was indeed appropriate to say that her head had stiffened due to the sudden and unexpected situation.
“I didn’t see the carriage entering the Marquis’s estate. When did you enter the mansion?”
In response to Klaus’s suspicious words, cold sweat formed on Rozelia’s palm.
“Well, I…”
Normally, Rozelia would have casually responded with a blunt remark, but this time, she was too taken aback to come up with an excuse.
While Rozelia was swallowing dry saliva, a voice of salvation came from behind.
“I called Rozelia. How could she have walked here without a carriage, burdened with so much debt?”
In response to Closet’s straightforward words, Klaus, in a slightly softened tone, asked, “You did?”
“Yeah, His Highness the Crown Prince invited Rozelia to the tea party again.”
Klaus reluctantly accepted it because there was no reason for Closet to make up a story.
“Where is Antonio?”
Asked by Klaus with a nonchalant tone, Closet looked around the back of Closet, and at that moment, their eyes met.
As if unable to come up with an excuse for Antonio, a perplexed expression flashed on Closet’s face.
Rozelia, in an instant, spoke up with a quick-witted thought.
“My brother went to our house for a moment.”
“Antonio?”
Upon hearing that he left without saying anything, Klaus raised an eyebrow in confusion, and quickly added Rozelia, “Well, the roof was collapsing, so I asked him to fix it. Since the rainy season is coming soon, I thought it would be better to repair it in advance.”
Recalling the collapsing house that Klaus had seen while escorting Rozelia, he nodded without further questioning.
“I see. It’s fortunate that the house isn’t completely falling apart.”
Well, since Nadia’s house was planned to be repaired soon with sponsorship funds, it wasn’t a completely made-up story.
As Klaus alternately glanced between the awkwardly smiling Rozelia and Closet, he casually made a suggestion.
“If you plan to go to the palace with an invitation from Her Highness the Crown Princess, why don’t we go together? Anyway, I have some business at the palace.”
Rozelia’s expression stiffened at Klaus’s proposal.
Being in close quarters with Klaus in the current uneasy state between Antonio and Rozelia would be uncomfortable.
Closet seemed to have noticed Rozelia’s awkwardness and responded with a nonchalant face, “When did we become so close? Well, never mind. I’ll go with Rozelia alone.”
“When did we become so close?”
Knowing that Closet and Antonio were close, Klaus asked with curiosity why Rozelia wasn’t as close. In response, Closet casually answered, “Well, thanks to Antonio, we even played cards together, and we’ve had various occasions like the Crown Princess’s invitation banquet, etc.” It occurred to Klaus that the green-dressed lady with subtle skills at the debutante ball was also Rozelia. With this realization, Klaus reluctantly accepted it.
Rozelia looked at Closet with relief. Closet, with a bright face seeking praise, was looking at Rozelia with enthusiasm.
“I’m sorry about yesterday. I didn’t expect it to turn into such a situation…”
Seeing the Crown Princess’s awkward smile, Closet quickly interjected, “No! How could it be something for Her Highness the Crown Princess to feel sorry about? It’s all Klaus’s fault for only thinking about work even during meals.”
Evelionne smiled as if finding Closet’s straightforward words cute. “The first one to bring up work was either me or His Highness the Crown Prince.”
“Her Highness the Crown Princess just mentioned it casually like asking about well-being, and Klaus enthusiastically started talking about it.”
“Haha, the Lady is still the same. Anyway, since today is a ladies’ tea party, let’s enjoy it comfortably.”
At the Crown Princess’s gracious words, Rozelia and Closet nodded, showing proper etiquette.
Then, Icelia, who was sitting next to the Crown Princess, cautiously spoke up. “Antonio’s younger sister, right? Nice to meet you. Did you say your name was Rozelia?”
“Glad to meet you. I am Rozelia, the daughter of Marquis de Herden.”
She was Evelionne’s younger sister whom Closet had met at the Domesticco a while ago. She played a pivotal role in allowing them to meet Evelionne.
“Well… How is Antonio doing?”
With a flushed face, Icelia asked, and Rozelia, with an embarrassed smile, reluctantly replied, “He… my brother is doing well, keeping himself busy.”
“But, Closet, why didn’t you bring Antonio to Domesticco today?”
Disappointed Icelia’s words made Rozelia and Closet freeze for a moment, exchanging awkward smiles.
“Well… today is a day for ladies to enjoy tea time. I didn’t want to bring Antonio just for that.”
Rozelia silently admired Closet’s natural handling, showing maturity beyond her young age. Unperturbed by Closet’s response, Icelia quickly changed the topic.
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.
