It was around the time when I had just finished the evening shower. As I was about to head straight to the dressing room, an urgent voice came from outside the living room.
“Your Highness! His Grace…!”
However, that sentence couldn’t be completed to the end. Cedric suddenly burst into the bedroom, interrupting the messenger.
“Cedric?”
“Rebecca!”
Cedric, who noticed me, came straight towards me, grabbing my shoulders.
His expression was filled with a sense of urgency, as if he had traveled a long way.
“I heard the news belatedly. Bold Duke came, right?”
“How did you…?”
The voice that was trying to continue the sentence slowly faded away. It was due to a sudden ominous premonition.
‘Could it be that Cedric misunderstood again because of the meeting with Bold Duke? Otherwise, there is no way he would rush in like this tonight.’
If I tell the truth, would he believe that man? It was frustrating to think about where to start to clear up this misunderstanding.
“Cedric, that’s…”
In the unexpected awkward situation, I couldn’t help but frown.
Unexpectedly, unexpected words spilled out of Cedric’s mouth.
“Rebecca, are you okay? Are you hurt?”
I looked at Cedric, who was hastily examining me, with a puzzled expression.
He looked at my face again and whispered softly.
“Are you so shocked that your strength is draining away?”
His tone was deeply filled with concern. I could only blink my eyes, looking at him.
‘What’s going on? Why is he like this? Could it be that this person… is worried about me?’
Just then, Minah and the other maids, who had finished tidying up the bathroom, entered the bedroom belatedly.
The moment their gazes fell on Cedric, who was holding me, their expressions turned into a mixture of surprise and contemplation.
“Y-Your Grace!”
The maids immediately kneeled down and began pouring out apologies as if they had made some kind of promise.
“We dared to assault a noble in the human world without receiving Your Highness’s orders… We really, really apologize, Your Highness!”
“Yes, Your Highness! But since we thoroughly erased their memories, there shouldn’t be any aftermath!”
“H-However, he was threatening Your Highness first!”
The maids explained in a hurried manner. Yet, as soon as Cedric’s gaze reached them, all of their faces turned fearful, and they quickly lowered their heads.
A moment of anxious silence followed, as fear pervaded the air.
“I am truly disappointed in all of you.”
Finally, Cedric’s low voice echoed chillingly in the surroundings.
At the same time, the air inside the bedroom seemed to freeze cold, as if a northern breeze had blown in.
Everyone swallowed dryly, holding their breaths in that moment.
“Was it really necessary to erase Bold Duke’s memories?”
Cedric’s voice caused the maids, who had been desperately bowing down, to abruptly stop their movements.
“……Yes?”
As Cedric, who had been frowning at the maids, looked at them again, his mouth opened once more.
“Did you see me as such a pitiful person that you couldn’t even handle the nonsense that Bold Duke was babbling about in noble society?”
“N-No, it’s not that…”
“Then, I should have dealt with it more firmly.”
Cedric, speaking as if he were sighing, finally lowered his voice.
“If someone dares to disrespect my wife… That person should have remembered clearly.”
I blinked my eyes quickly, looking up at him.
‘What is he saying right now?’
It seemed that the maids were also questioning their own ears.
At last, when all the bewildered gazes in the bedroom turned towards Cedric, he spoke again.
“Riman, distribute the prepared rewards.”
At his words, Cedric’s aide approached the maids with a thick envelope in hand.
He knelt down and gestured for the maids who were still kneeling to rise, then handed them each an envelope.
“You give them, but…”
“Are you really giving us rewards?”
“Why…?”
The maids accepted the envelopes with bewildered expressions.
The aide could only bow his head, seemingly unable to understand the reason either.
When Cedric spoke to the aide, who returned to my side, he forcefully addressed him.
“Make sure that from now on, Bold Duke’s carriage never enters my castle without an invitation for Rebecca.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“And you.”
Cedric’s gaze turned back to the maids.
“If, by any chance, something like today happens again, never…”
His eyes, which had paused for a moment, were filled with a chilling light.
“Never erase that person’s memory.”
“…”
“If you’re worried about that person’s memory, bury it somewhere. Then the memory will be buried along with that body.”
Even hearing it was a harsh story.
However, Cedric, who was telling the story, had a calm expression, and the maids finally burst into relieved laughter.
“Yes, Your Grace! We will definitely do as you instructed!”
“That’s right! We were actually thinking of going to bury ourselves in the demon realm right away because we were afraid of Your Grace scolding us! Hehe…”
Cedric and his aide nodded satisfactorily in response to their words.
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.
