Even if she knew about it when it was trending, there was no one to buy her something like this, and she didn’t even have the intention to buy it herself.
So nothing would have changed, but now it was different.
Because of the items the viscount brought to look good in front of his daughter, Sesenia came up with a good idea.
‘Glass flowers…’
After the national banquet ends and spring comes, Sesenia plans to buy provisions.
Even if Elzerg interferes with this, she will have to use another method, but fundamentally, there was no change in the plan to buy provisions.
After this spring passes, severe famine is expected to come. The purchase of provisions was planned for that reason.
“Although made of glass, due to the inadequate glass craftsmanship, only one side of the flower’s surface is glass. To be precise, it is closer to a mirror, and the back is opaque. A fitting name for a mirror flower.”
And this will be excellent against the onslaught of locusts that will come in the spring.
An item that turns one existence into dozens or hundreds.
‘This is it.’
With this, she should be able to safely overcome the famine.
The Empire primarily relied on agriculture. Moreover, agriculture was carried out twice.
Especially the food produced in the Empire was all from crops that came out in the spring.
The crops that survived the winter were strong and nutritious. Even when going to war, they intentionally brought crops grown in the spring.
So, the crops in winter and spring were clearly divided for different purposes.
The fall crops were for surviving the winter, and the spring crops were for thriving throughout the year.
Ultimately, if the spring crops were to fail and become unusable, it would be difficult for a whole year.
But Sesenia came up with a way to overcome it.
“Is it that good?”
It was then.
“Huh?”
“I don’t know when was the last time I saw you smiling after receiving a gift.”
“Ah…”
When she smiled, finding a solution to the famine, the viscount seemed to have misunderstood her.
“Bring another gift next time.”
“Ah… yes. But more importantly, is there anything wrong? If you have any business, you could have just called me. You came all the way to my room.”
Only then did the viscount smile as if he remembered the reason for coming here. Scratching his head as if he were cool.
“Hehe, I just came to ask if the meeting with Crown Prince went well…”
“Ah, yes.”
“I was about to come right away, but what’s with so much fuss?”
The viscount must have been tormented by anxiety throughout. Worried that Sesenia might come to him and refuse the engagement.
So he must have spent the whole day doing nothing but waiting.
Looking at that obvious figure, Sesenia slowly nodded.
“Whether it’s okay or not, where is there to worry?”
“Hehe. Still, you see. Just in case… You haven’t changed your mind, have you?”
“No. No, I haven’t. I will engage with the Crown Prince. The conversation ended well. The Crown Prince is a very good person, more than I thought.”
“Is that so? Ha. Why is your sister making such a fuss without even meeting him? It would have been nice if she had met him.”
Still full of regret, the viscount clicked his tongue.
“That’s true.”
“Hmm. Well, then I’m relieved. I was just worried because you didn’t say anything.”
“There was nothing to say because nothing happened. By the way, did the Crown Prince say anything special?”
“He did. He was very satisfied with you. But the Crown Prince’s feelings aren’t important, are they? Your feelings are what matters.”
“That’s true.”
With no particular excitement, Sesenia placed the flower bouquet on the table.
“So when are we going to announce it? Your sister is still on a hunger strike. Lately, it seems she’s not feeling well; even standing is difficult for her.”
“Not yet. I informed Crown Prince as well. We decided to make the announcement later. So, even if my sister collapses, you must not mention it. Understood?”
Even though he heard those words, the viscount seemed determined not to give up.
“Still, I’m really worried about your sister.”
“Don’t worry, Father. In my opinion, my sister is not really on a hunger strike.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
As if unable to understand Sesenia’s words, the viscount raised his eyebrows.
“Exactly as it sounds. The idea that my sister is on a hunger strike, finding it difficult—aren’t those words spoken by the maids on that side?”
“Is that so?”
“Then investigate once. Without my sister’s knowledge. Check if the maids in Eljere’s room have increased their meal portions lately.”
“Are you suggesting that your sister is lying?”
Her head nodded slowly.
“Doubting your sister. It seems like you’re going too far.”
“Why would I make such a statement without any reason, without anything?”
In fact, she was correct in saying that she had no reason to speak without any reason.
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.
