“Was everything from last night… all a mistake?”
At that moment, Rebecca might not have known, but Cedric was aware of it herself.
The voice asking that question was subtly trembling.
‘Rebecca must know about the imprint, so why is she saying that everything from last night was a mistake now?’
Cedric couldn’t hide the hurt in her expression.
Even pretending to be her usual self was difficult.
Rebecca Twins.
She was a woman who, for a moment, made herself feel so powerless.
The discomfort that permeated with a chill passed by with a dry swallow.
Rebecca, seeming a bit scared of herself or not understanding English, looked up at me with a hesitant gaze.
If she resented, she seemed frustrated, and there was regret in not being able to reach her heart freely.
“Cedric, yesterday, I was too drunk…”
Before Rebecca could continue, Cedric lowered her head.
“Let’s just go back.”
Leaving only that statement, she turned around straight away.
She didn’t want to hear the word ‘mistake’ from Rebecca again.
Otherwise, it seemed that the emotions she had managed to hide would be revealed again.
Cedric took a deliberate step away and casually turned her words.
“Since everyone will be out to see us off, it’s better to hurry and prepare.”
“Cedric…”
In the voice coming from behind, I could sense an inexplicable restlessness.
‘No, maybe it’s the sorry feeling for having to reject me.’
A bitter smile spread on Cedric’s lips.
Finally, she turned around and looked at Rebecca, then spoke softly.
“Whether last night was a mistake for you or not, I don’t care.”
“…”
“So, you don’t need to apologize to me.”
“Really…?”
Relief flashed in Rebecca’s eyes.
“…Yes.”
Only then did Rebecca, as if asking when she had acted awkwardly, quietly start walking beside Cedric.
Looking at her, Cedric couldn’t help but feel awkward once again.
Even if she said not to apologize, maybe deep down, she wanted Rebecca to apologize.
But what Rebecca thought about the events of last night didn’t matter anymore.
Moreover, in the current situation, there was no room for regrets.
What was most important to Cedric now was just…
That Rebecca could never leave her side until the contract was over.
That was the only truth.
In front of the inn in Grayzone Village.
Many people had already gathered to see us off.
“You’ve done a great service, Devin.”
As Cedric extended her hand and spoke, Mayor Devin grabbed her hand and nodded.
“I am truly grateful for the Twins family, considering they have been taking care of our mixed-blood demons for generations. It is regrettable to have placed you in such a humble place.”
Beside Mayor Devin, who spoke like that, his daughter Jacqueline was also present.
Jacqueline greeted Cedric first and then glanced at me discreetly.
I raised the corner of my mouth toward her.
“I really enjoyed yesterday, Jacqueline.”
In response to my words, Jacqueline made a wry face and muttered, “It was just enjoyable to have a drink together after the job was done.”
Even though Jacqueline grumbled like that, her eyes didn’t show the hostility she had initially.
The people around her, including the villagers, were the same.
“Well, if you ever get bored in the Grand Duchy, sometimes… Come visit our village. Or not.”
When Jacqueline noticed my surprised yet grateful expression, she raised her voice as if pretending to be cool.
“No, what! How can we believe that things changed just because we spent one night together?”
“…”
“You’ll know after spending a few more nights. Right, kid?”
At Jacqueline’s blunt words, comfortable laughter gradually spread around.
I looked at Jacqueline and the villagers with a gentle smile.
“Yes, anytime, as long as you accept me. The honey beer Jacqueline made was really delicious.”
At that moment, a few small kids among the villagers ran toward me.
In the children’s hands were dolls and snacks that I had prepared.
“Princess Bee! This is so delicious, thank you so much!”
“The doll is so cute! My mom told me to say thank you to Princess Bee!”
The chubby-cheeked kids happily chattered.
I smiled softly, patting the little horns on their heads.
“I haven’t seen these small horns in a long time. Princess Bianca didn’t show me horns often. I really liked them because they were cute.”
Upon my words, the children giggled shyly.
Then, Bianca, who was standing nearby, grabbed the hem of my dress, pointing to her ears, as if asking for something.
I immediately bent my waist to align with her height.
“When we return to our family’s castle, I’ll definitely show them to you next time. Then, you should say that my horns are prettier than those kids’, okay?”
Whispered Bianca, looking a bit disappointed, she pouted her lower lip.
I gently stroked Bianca’s head in response.
“Of course. I’ll say that a hundred times, Bianca.”
Bianca looked up at me and smiled bashfully.
At that moment, everyone around, including Mayor Devin, who had been quietly observing us, spoke again with a gentle voice.
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.
