“……”
“Because he asked me to deliver it.”
“To whom?”
Aris, having spoken without thinking, quickly clamped her mouth shut.
Kichep burst into laughter.
“Do you have a lot of curiosity, young lady?”
Aris’s face turned red. Kichep, a man from the desert, had a tough body and exuded a hot, dry heat even while sitting still.
It was unclear if she was angry or embarrassed, but Kichep just laughed.
Hubert sighed.
“Don’t we have to deal with the matter at hand? To whom did the prince ask to deliver the letter?”
The formal language was gone, implying he no longer deemed Kichep worthy of respect.
But Kichep shrugged off this with a light attitude.
“Who else could it be?”
Suddenly, his gaze fixed directly on me.
I was puzzled by his cold, indifferent eyes.
‘Have we met before? Why is he so hostile towards me?’
I would have remembered such a person.
I too hardened my face and glared back at him.
He seemed surprised by my reaction, then frowned.
“I’m glad to have the opportunity to greet you like this. It’s worth coming here myself instead of sending a messenger.”
“Excuse me, have you seen me before?”
“Where would I have met the daughter of the Lorenst household?”
“Then why……”
‘Why do you keep looking at me in such an unpleasant way?’
I barely held back that question.
“I was just curious about how you looked.”
At that moment, his voice sounded familiar.
[Throw her out right now!]‘Ah.’
He was a subordinate of the Fifth Prince!
That explained his attitude.
‘He must have heard about what I did.’
He probably sees me as a cunning trickster.
‘This is awkward.’
I subtly avoided his gaze. I didn’t think I did anything wrong, but I felt uneasy.
“Hmph.”
Noticing my change in demeanor, Kichep smirked and handed me the letter.
“The prince himself wrote this letter. Take a look.”
I stared at the letter in front of me.
The fact that it was from the Fifth Prince was intimidating, but the collective gaze of everyone in the room made it even more so.
“May I ask what the letter is about?”
Aris asked quite politely.
“Read it yourself.”
“Worried about my sister, given her… special background. She’s not yet well-versed in etiquette.”
“Special background?”
Kichep glanced at me.
Aris sighed heavily.
“She’s a former maid. Talking about her lineage is even harder.”
“……”
“Anyway, if my sister has offended the prince, I apologize on her behalf.”
Aris said, bowing her head gracefully. Kichep blinked, not understanding.
“Is that what ‘special’ background means?”
The implication was clear: ‘just that?’
“Being a maid is better than me. I am a former slave.”
Kichep smiled slyly.
Aris’s face turned pale, and Hubert’s gaze shifted, both eyeing him with contempt.
Despite the awkward silence, Kichep seemed unfazed, only lifting one corner of his mouth. He appeared quite accustomed to such atmospheres.
Aris redirected her frustration towards me.
“Sister, what are you doing? Read it already.”
I was already opening the letter, even without her urging.
As I pulled out the letter, Aris sighed again.
“I’m worried…”
Implying, ‘What foolish thing are you going to do to cause trouble now?’
Ignoring her sighs and murmured words, I unfolded the letter.
Initially, I was just filled with tension.
What could the matter be?
If it was a response to my suggestion, sending someone discreetly would have sufficed.
My half-anxious, half-worried heart turned into a question mark after reading it.
‘Huh?’
As soon as I finished the last sentence, Aris immediately asked, “What does it say?”
“Uh…….”
I couldn’t continue speaking. Seeing my reaction, Aris scrunched up her eyes in frustration.
“Why are you being so difficult?”
No matter what she said, I didn’t know how to respond. I awkwardly looked down at the letter.
Suddenly, the letter was snatched from my hand.
It was Hubert.
He skimmed through the letter with one hand, and his eyes narrowed.
When even Hubert showed a strange reaction, Aris became agitated.
“Why? Is it something serious?”
“……Hmm.”
Hubert glanced at me briefly. I hurriedly managed my expression, pretending to be clueless.
“Why is the prince angry?”
“Angry?”
I asked Hubert in a low voice. Aris, as if it were obvious, replied, “It must be because Sister Egrein made a mistake, right? There was an incident before. She caused trouble on an errand to the palace, making even us a laughingstock.”
I felt a surge of anger.
‘She’s bringing up that incident now.’
Five years ago, I went to the palace to deliver important documents Hubert had left behind.
I was worried since it was my first time, so I sought advice from Aris, who had some experience at the palace.
[Use the central rose maze for a quicker route. You need to hurry for Hubert’s sake!]Naively, I believed her advice.
The problem was the rose garden was off-limits at that time.
[People were gossiping about a family that doesn’t teach the basics! From now on, just stay home. Who knows what embarrassment you’ll cause next!]Emmerun, having returned from a salon, exploded in anger.
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.
