Around this time, Benjamin and Yurisien were actually waiting for Hiscliff. The reason they pretended to enter Southhood while actually going into the inn was precisely for this moment.
So when Hiscliff crashed the Townhouse main gate with the carriage, Yurisien shouted in excitement.
“It’s done!”
And Benjamin, who was by her side, felt the same way.
“Really… setting a perfect trap.”
Benjamin, holding Yurisien’s waist, tilted his head. His expression, although disappointed, showed a hint of satisfaction that quickly turned into concern.
“But, is it really okay?”
“You keep asking, and my answer remains the same.”
“But Hiscliff is causing a commotion.”
“You already expected he would do that, right? Now is not the time to hesitate.”
Yurisien tapped Benjamin’s large hand around her waist twice. Even when facing the dangerous situation of confronting Hiscliff face to face, there was vitality in Yurisien’s face.
“Let’s go to the mansion!”
She even seemed more excited than during today’s date. Because of that, Benjamin, with a slightly perplexed expression, distanced himself from her.
“Yurisien, I can’t help worrying.”
“You can worry, but please don’t let it affect the mission.”
Yurisien said firmly. It was an overly staged worry for Benjamin, the Guildmaster and Crown Prince of Coporado. It was as if worrying about Yurisien was equivalent to this situation.
In the end, Benjamin separated from Yurisien without further delay.
“I’ll be back. Please take care.”
“Of course.”
However, as if not relieved, Benjamin, who walked up to the door, turned back and firmly pressed his lips on Yurisien’s cheek. It happened before Yurisien could react.
“Your Highness!”
“I’ll really be back.”
When Yurisien shouted with a reddened face, Benjamin, with a playful expression, winked with one eye and left the mansion.
Yurisien, with her flushed face, wiped her cheek several times and looked down at Hiscliff still spouting vulgar words outside.
“Come out here, you shameless villain! How can you go to the inn with my brother in broad daylight?”
There was quite a commotion. People were gathering a bit further away. Urgendo, who heard the commotion, also came.
“Yurisien, what on earth is going on?”
Although Urgendo knew about the date between Benjamin and Yurisien, he was surprised at the fact that they went to the inn.
Daisy, who seemed to be in the middle of doing laundry or holding towels, was also the same. Ignoring Hiscliff’s shouts, Yurisien, looking at Urgendo and Daisy at a glance, gently curled up the corners of her mouth.
“To evacuate the mansion.”
“Hmm…?”
“Yes…?”
Urgendo and Daisy looked at each other as if they didn’t understand. The sight of a duke and a maid asking each other if they knew what Yurisien was talking about was so amusing that Yurisien burst into laughter.
At the same time, footsteps that seemed to melt into the darkness silently approached the city wall. And the footsteps quickly following behind were equally quiet. The two skilled infiltrators swiftly descended under the city wall and attacked the knights patrolling there.
“Crack.”
“Cough.”
Nevertheless, even though they were knights responsible for guarding the royal castle, the knights only let out a single groan. The two infiltrators easily subdued the knights like taming young animals, creating an opening. Then they quickly hid in the bushes.
Now, all that remained was to wait.
One of the silent infiltrators who had been quietly waiting opened his mouth.
“I’ve been silent until now because of the situation… well, the answer. There isn’t one, huh?”
While saying that, the one who glanced sideways was none other than Ivan.
It was a whisper so faint that it should only be heard up close, but when the unexpected question came in, the one who heard it was so bewildered that their mind went blank.
“S- Suddenly… Why are you asking such a question while waiting to assassinate someone?”
Mitchell, who could barely speak without being heard, replied. Then, Ivan, who had been lurking and waiting in the bushes, stuck out his lips.
“I told you. I stayed quiet because of the situation.”
“But the situation is still the same, so keep your mouth shut.”
“But the situation has slightly improved now.”
“Do you see an improvement in your eyes right now? Is this the situation? Even if we run around in all directions, we can’t find a single piece of evidence that Greta Hwangbi is the illegitimate child of the Earl of Everrium. This led to using Lady Windsor as bait, and Prince Hwang to infiltrate the Royal Castle himself?”
Mitchell, with a mocking laugh, sharply retorted as if it were absurd.
That’s right.
The reason why Yurisien and Benjamin pretended to have a date and came out to the inn was for this.
Hearing the story that the two of them went to the inn in broad daylight, Hiscliff, without a doubt, would come out provoked. It was clear where he would head, and it was certain that most of the knights would follow Hiscliff.
The benefits gained by doing this were twofold.
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.
