“Commander?”
“What are you doing here? You’re not avoiding the rain?”
Rinat looked down at me, his brows narrowed as if he couldn’t quite understand.
“Ah, well…”
I closed my mouth at his look, as if asking if I had been foolish enough to stand in this downpour. Considering the rain was pouring so heavily, standing idle was indeed a foolish act on my part.
Within moments of exchanging a few words, Rinat’s hair and clothes had gotten completely wet. In contrast, my foolishness seemed even more unjustifiable.
“Miss Rosebelia!”
Daisy?
The voice came from a carriage parked across from the clock tower. As I turned my gaze toward the carriage, Rinat seemed to have been waiting for the opportunity to speak.
“My sister and I spotted you while passing by, so we stopped the carriage. We can take you to your destination, would you like to come with us?”
“No, I’m fine. I’ve left my horse nearby.”
Rinat, wiping the rainwater off his forehead, spoke almost like a sigh.
“It would be imprudent to ride a horse in this rain. It’s better to take shelter in the carriage for now.”
“I am…”
Before I could convey my intention to decline again, a clear voice rang across the empty square.
“Miss, don’t!”
The disturbance was near the carriage. Looking closely, I saw a piece of a dress disappearing and reappearing in the open carriage door.
Could it be that Daisy is trying to come out of the carriage?
“Commander, let’s go to the carriage for now.”
In a rush, I practically informed him and headed towards the carriage. I had hardly taken a few steps.
The surrounding grew darker; lifting my head, it wasn’t the gloomy sky I saw, but Rinat’s coat blocking the rain from me.
As my eyes met Rinat’s, I flinched involuntarily.
While holding the coat above me, Rinat himself was soaked by the downpour.
“I’m fine, so you should go back under the…”
“Miss Rosebelia, quickly!”
Interrupted by Daisy’s urgent voice, I paused, and a gentle voice settled.
“If it’s not too inconvenient, shall we proceed like this?”
“…Then let’s hurry.”
Almost running, we arrived at the carriage where Daisy waved her hand as if pleased to see me. As I was about to climb inside, Rinat offered his hand.
“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it.”
Inside the carriage were Daisy in a dress and a maid wearing a yellowish one-piece.
If Daisy would bring a maid for an outing, would it be Luci?
“Oh my, you’re all wet. Ah, this is my dedicated maid, Luci. Luci, this is Rosebelia Winters, a knight from the White Knight Order and the fiancée of the Winters Duke family.”
Luci was indeed the maid always accompanying Daisy in the original work. Daisy described her as having charming freckles below her cheeks, and she did look adorable.
“I’ve heard a lot about you from my mistress, you’re really beautiful.”
“I look a mess right now, but thank you.”
“You can speak comfortably with me, Luci. And your beauty, Miss Rosebelia, remains unchanged despite the rain. I recognized you from afar due to the light you emit.”
What should I say in situations like this?
Though confident about my appearance, I’d never received such praise before.
As I wiped my face awkwardly with the handkerchief Luci offered, Rinat, who had just entered the carriage, spoke.
“Lady Rosebelia, where shall we take you?”
“To the Knight Order, or, to the Duke’s residence…”
Neither was particularly close, especially considering the late hour and the rain.
“Our mansion is nearby. How about you stop by to change clothes? We can lend you a carriage, so you can easily get to either the Knight Order or the Duke’s residence.”
“No, Miss Daisy. I’ll get off just in front of that building. I have a horse I rode here.”
“How about staying at the mansion until the rain lets up a bit? We can have a servant bring your horse to our mansion.”
The sound of rain pattering on the carriage roof was still loud.
Considering Emily’s poor condition when we left the knight’s headquarters, it was best to move on her once the rain had let up a bit.
“Shall we go to the mansion together?”
As I met her twinkling, lavender eyes, I gave a slight smile.
“In that case, I’ll take you up on your offer for a moment. There’s something I’d like to discuss with you, Miss Daisy.”
[Star Icon]“Miss Rosebelia! How about this dress?”
In front of me, freshly bathed from the hot spring and illuminated by Daisy’s halo, were at least ten dresses. I gave an awkward smile as I looked at the pink dress Daisy had pointed out.
“Ah, that one is a bit…”
“How about this one? It matches the beautiful color of your eyes.”
This time, Daisy pointed to a light green dress.
“I’m actually quite comfortable and satisfied with the dress I’m wearing now.”
“That dress won’t do! You’re our guest…”
Seeing Daisy’s downcast eyes, I pointed to a dress with the hand that had been scratching my forehead.
“Then I’ll wear the dress you just pointed out.”
Rosebelia usually avoided wearing green dresses because Olivia liked them.
I was curious about how I’d look in a green dress, so I thought this would be a good opportunity.
“I’ll help you, Miss Rosebelia.”
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.
