“Younger sister?”
“Yes. Lady Lorencia told me to get my younger sister a job as a maid at the Spencer estate when she goes to the Poloid Empire.”
“The monster said that?”
“Yes.”
Lorencia said they needed to stall for as much time as possible.
“Lady Lorencia said it was inevitable that she would be taken to the Spencer family, and that she would inform my younger sister, who would be working as a maid at the Spencer estate, of her situation. And that she needed help to find an opportunity to escape.”
“The monster really said that.”
“Lady Lorencia was extremely anxious about being separated from Prince Ruans.”
“Well, the monster loves Ruans, so that’s understandable. We made it that way.”
“I will take my younger sister to the Poloid Empire. And after getting her a job as a maid at the Spencer estate, I will obtain information from Lady Lorencia and send it in a letter. Of course, I will find an opportunity to help Lady Lorencia escape and bring her to the Isuter Empire.”
Daniel’s black tongue licked his lips again. A chill ran down Carlien’s spine.
“Make sure to send a letter detailing everything the monster does, Sir Carlien.”
“Yes. But in return, if I manage to come back, I would appreciate a little compensation.”
“Compensation?”
“Yes. I need money.”
“You need money?”
“My mother is ill.”
“Family is Sir Carlien’s big weakness, so it would be troublesome if she’s sick.”
Daniel had once told an unfortunate story that happened to someone else.
Daniel’s tale of misfortune was a warning directed at him. It said that Daniel was in a position to take lives at will.
“If you bring the monster to the Isuter Empire, I will give you compensation.”
Carlien sighed with relief. Now if his younger sister got a job at the Spencer estate, her life would practically be saved. That alone was satisfying.
And so, with Daniel’s permission, Carlien set a date to go to the Poloid Empire.
But there was one more thing he had to do before that. Hiding Adrian, who had escaped from his own grave.
“Your Highness Adrian. You’ve been through a lot.”
“It was tough. Can’t do it twice.”
As soon as Adrian woke up, he shivered from the bone-chilling cold that seemed to freeze his whole body. Pushing through the cold, he broke out of the coffin and moved forward like a mole digging through the earth. Fortunately, there was water and dried meat in the coffin, so it was bearable while digging.
“More importantly, what about our Charlotte?”
“She is scheduled to leave for the Poloid Empire soon.”
“Is that so? Then I can meet her on the way.”
“Please don’t worry too much. For now, Your Highness and I need to safely leave the Isuter Empire.”
Carlien handed Adrian clothes, a hat, and a black wig that a coachman would wear.
“I’ll be relying on you for the carriage.”
“You’ll be the only one to ride in a carriage driven by royalty.”
“That’s why I consider it an honor, Your Highness.”
“Shall we go then?”
Adrian smiled slightly as he took the clothes.
[This is the timeline separator]Lorencia had a nostalgic dream. It was a dream where Musilla appeared and warmly embraced her.
Musilla smiled as she shed tears. Lorencia felt that her mother’s warm embrace was a dream, but she began to cry miserably in her missed mother’s arms.
At Musilla’s words to be happy, Lorencia bit her lower lip hard. She widened her eyes, shedding tears with a different meaning than the ones she had shed a moment ago. Her happiness had already been shattered long ago.
Lorencia cried out in a sorrowful voice. For her, moments of happiness were the days she spent with her mother Musilla. The happiness she truly wanted did not exist in the past future. Nor in the present now. She couldn’t find Musilla. Couldn’t meet her.
Anger slowly welled up.
What should she do with this angry feeling! How could she quell it? Where should she vent this heart-wrenching feeling? Would the anger go away and make her happy?
No. If she took revenge on those who took away what was precious to her, maybe this anger would subside a little. But even if she took revenge with an angry heart, the precious happiness would not return.
Even knowing that, she intended to take revenge with an angry appearance.
Musilla gently placed her palm near Lorencia’s chest.
Lorencia wanted to continue the conversation in the dream, but she felt something stroking her hair. Someone’s warm fingers were slowly caressing her cheeks and temples.
When she opened her eyes slightly, she saw Teishar’s face.
“Ter.”
“Roa. Are you awake?”
“Is it morning already? Did I oversleep?”
“No.”
Teishar had received an urgent report from Amelin.
Teishar immediately ran to Lorencia’s room. As soon as he entered, he was momentarily surprised to see all the objects in the room floating in the air on their own, moving as if they had a will of their own.
Even when he grabbed the objects and put them back in place, they would float up again and fly or move around on their own. Fortunately, the moving objects did not attack. They were just floating in the air.
The only thing that didn’t move was the bed where Lorencia was sleeping.
Leo, who was hiding in the corner, was shivering with fear. Teishar passed through the moving objects, holding the trembling Leo in his arms as he approached Lorencia.
Tears were flowing from the eyes of Lorencia, who was sleeping on the bed. What kind of dream was she having that made her cry? He was worried. So when he wiped away her tears and stroked her hair, Lorencia slowly opened her eyes.
“Roa. Are you alright? Were you having a nightmare?”
“A nightmare?”
Lorencia looked at Teishar with a blank gaze and sat up. Leo crawled from Teishar’s arms into Lorencia’s.
−Meow!
Leo seemed so uneasy for some reason, shivering, so Lorencia kept stroking his head with the back of her hand. And as she gradually came to her senses, she felt something strange around her. Except for the bed she was lying on, the objects in the room were moving around on their own.
“Ah…”
It had been a long time since Lorencia had seen objects floating. It was exactly the same as when she first awakened her power to see the future. Lorencia glanced at Teishar. He seemed surprised, but was he trying not to show it?
When Brant first found out about this power, she was treated like a contagious disease patient in the Pol Heredian estate.
“Ter. You must have been very surprised.”
Lorencia carefully asked Teishar.
“I was a little surprised. But more than that, I was worried about Roa.”
“You were worried about me?”
“You were crying in your sleep.”
“I was crying?”
Lorencia touched her cheeks and eyes. After wiping her damp cheeks and eyes from crying, Lorencia sighed to calm her emotions. It seemed her feelings had been agitated from the conversation with Musilla in the dream.
“Return to your places.”
At Lorencia’s words, the objects returned to their original positions.
“Roa. That’s amazing.”
“Don’t you find me strange?”
“Not at all. Roa is a child of the goddess Ella. It’s not strange at all for you to have such powers.”
Teishar smiled brightly and stroked Lorencia’s hair. At his touch and kind words, Lorencia’s eyes quickly became moist. Even though he knew she was different from others, she felt pathetic for not being able to completely dispel her doubts.
Lorencia closed her eyes tightly.
“Even though Ter is being so nice to me, I feel anxious. I don’t want to recall the memories, but the times I was abused keep coming to mind.”
Teishar was worried about Lorencia, whose face was growing paler.
“I was always a monster in the Pol Heredian estate. Actually, this isn’t the first time objects have moved around on their own like this. It happened before at the estate too.”
Tears flowed down Lorencia’s cheeks and fell onto the back of her hand. Yet her gaze never left Teishar.
“I doubt I can be happy.”
“Roa.”
“The happiest moments have already been shattered…”
In the end, Lorencia wept miserably. Tears streamed down her eyes without stopping.
“But the mother in my dream keeps telling me to be happy. So I told her I can never forgive those who did this to her and me, and that I won’t let them be. But the way she looked at me seemed so sad.”
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.
