Mila suddenly wondered, “Why am I doing this here?” At the same time, she found herself unfamiliar with tirelessly pulling spinach.
But that feeling was brief. Mila couldn’t help but start moving again, watching Princess Stella harvest spinach diligently. Moreover, as the amount of harvested spinach increased, the sense of accomplishment grew.
“At least I’m not bothered by unnecessary thoughts.”
With that thought, Mila emptied her mind and moved her hands diligently until she reached her quota. Despite the strain on her body, having a clear mind was satisfying.
In the evening, the table at Verudra Castle was set with dishes made from freshly harvested spinach and leftover carrots, not for sale. In addition to meat and dessert, the most popular dishes were the salad and vegetable soup with freshly harvested spinach.
Even the spinach served with the steak was so delicious that it was eaten before the meat. While enjoying the tasty food, Royce, who used to love carrot pie, suddenly came to mind.
“I wonder if he’s eating well these days.”
“What? Who are you talking about?”
It seemed her inner thoughts slipped out as spoken words. Stella smiled faintly as if to say nothing and resumed her meal.
Today, whether Royce would come or not, it seemed necessary to save some spinach dishes for him.
“What? What did you say?”
Having heard Sen’s report, Melissa lowered the sword she was holding with a disapproving expression. She was in the midst of preparing for the afternoon training, but the enthusiasm was shattered by the absurd report.
Sen’s report was full of unbelievable details, making it difficult to trust.
“I… started farming.”
Sen’s voice in response seemed hesitant, as if he couldn’t believe it himself. It was an answer filled with uncertainty.
“Does that make sense? A princess of a country? Farming in a place where she’s held as a hostage?”
She was too dumbfounded to even get angry. She wondered if there had been a mistake in identifying someone else and conducting the investigation. However, Sen, who was thorough and meticulous, couldn’t make such a mistake.
“She turned out to be a more interesting woman than I thought.”
Melissa chuckled as she stuck the sword she was holding into the ground. When she had instructed Sen to inquire about Stella, she had considered her just one of those princesses.
Stella had a decent face, but it was quite common, and above all, Melissa believed her own appearance was second to none.
“Where does she live?”
“Verudra Castle in the Plant Zone.”
“Verudra? There’s such a place?”
“Yes, it’s located at the farthest rear. It’s smaller in scale compared to other castles, and the number of resident servants is also minimal.”
“Why?”
“They live on the basic budget allocated by the imperial family since there is no budget sent from Amalun.”
“Even though their daughter is here, they don’t send money? Why would that be?”
“We’re currently investigating that as well. However, it’s certain that Princess Stella is the legitimate daughter of King Philippe Oberlith.”
“Right. The bloodline verification is done. But why is she being treated like that?”
The possibility of being a bastard had been considered. However, she had passed the bloodline verification, which only direct descendants could pass.
It was inconceivable that a mage of the Credion Empire, especially one with the most exceptional skills in this field, could not discern a manipulated bloodline certificate. Melissa’s beautiful gaze turned sharp with irritation, facing a troublesome problem.
Perhaps it would be less frustrating and oppressive if she could see the woman in question directly.
“This is what?”
After finishing a short morning labor and leisurely reading a book in the afternoon, Mila cautiously handed over an envelope. The envelope, adorned with lavish gold leaf decorations, sparkled like jewels in the sunlight that passed through the window.
“It’s an invitation.”
“Huh?”
Not long ago, after the incident in Sagrulac, Stella thought she wouldn’t receive invitations or the like in the Plant Zone anymore.
Since Princess Annette was the real deal, no one was likely to get close to her. Moreover, Princess Annette was relieved that she couldn’t kill me in the recent Sagrulac incident.
I heard that classes will resume from this afternoon, and just thinking about facing the princesses at Muege Castle already gave me a splitting headache.
Stella shook her head excitedly and opened the envelope.
“Oh? This is…”
“It’s an invitation sent by Lady Melissa Frentium, the Marquess.”
Mila, who was always calm, seemed oddly excited. Her gaze appeared even more sparkling than usual. Seeing Mila more thrilled than the recipient of the invitation, Stella’s lips curled up slightly.
“It’s a tea party invitation.”
“Yes! It’s in three days. Should I send a reply that you’ll attend?”
Impatience could be sensed in Mila’s voice. She was such a whimsical person that Stella thought she might refuse.
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.
