The next day. The news of the mysterious death of the dean and the disciplinary manager Rilmie had arrived.
Moreover, the northern spire was abuzz thanks to the news about my father’s succession and the earldom’s restoration.
So, I was able to rest without receiving education.
‘It’s a bit strange. I would not have died so quickly just being lost in the maze until the moment of death.’
I thought there might have been an issue with the illusion spell, but I didn’t feel so sorry for the deaths of the crude villains. I had no time to worry about them.
It is a moment of imminent crisis now!
Isn’t it a situation where Axel, who heard the news of my father becoming the successor, might break in at any time?
‘No, do I have to face the final boss like this? I have no weapons. Is there really no other ending for extras like us but a gruesome one?’
The remaining muscle maids and I, in the northern spire, sunk our bodies into the sofa with dreary eyes. The maids started chattering excitedly, happy about my father being chosen as the successor of Mirmode.
“Congratulation, Master Cien! It seems that the Duchess is planning to gift you a new mansion! You’ll be able to have a pretty room just for you soon!”
“Then, we too…… will be able to serve the Lady!”
The maids spoke earnestly as if their tongues were broken.
Even while they were speaking, because of their intense gazes, I felt a bit tensed.
They are clearly on my side, why are they scary…….
‘Still, these maid sisters are thinking about staying with me for life.’
It felt as if a warm blanket had covered my heart.
I should give them a carrot to make them like me more, right?
They were powerful maids who had the history of defeating the dean’s tantrum without fear of aftereffects. It would certainly be beneficial to have them on my side.
With a bright smile like the sun, I gently tapped the firm arms of the maid sisters.
“You know, when I grow up, I’ll make a gym in the mansion for you!”
At the promise of a lifetime, the maids widened their eyes.
“No, really!”
“Today must be my birthday…….”
“Hey, don’t cry. If you cry, you’ll lose muscle!”
Seeing them happy, I sighed deeply inside.
The sisters wouldn’t know. That our fate is nearing death!
‘The trio of successor candidates are all dangerous, but Axel is powerhungry. He’s sure to end the war quickly and return.’
In the novel, the main villain Axelrelate Mirmode appeared as the successor of the villainous duke house.
He exterminated all the Mirmode family members who blocked his way through the bloodbath.
Since our father became the successor……
He must have proudly listed his name first on Axel’s extermination list.
‘I thought there would be a power struggle with Axel someday, but I didn’t expect it to be this soon.’
Axel.
A psychopath who loves blood and has very…… dirty tastes sexually, a trash.
‘How should I defeat that bastard?’
As I pondered the training methods of the original protagonists and the locations of the highend artifacts in the original, I bit my lip hard.
I, Cien Mirmode. Five years old, currently in the process of dealing with the evil duke’s house.
Fortunately, the bet I placed with the dean was a success.
Then, it was time to try a new gamble. There was no time to sit back and despair.
I took off the pink woolen gloves that the maid sisters had knitted for me and whispered as tough as the protagonist in a noir film.
“Double or…… nothing.”
Looking at the serious me, the maid sisters tilted their heads and asked.
“Huh?”
With a gaze as cold and threatening as frozen ice, I tilted my head seriously.
“Bury…… that bastard.”
First, I should prepare a shovel to bury the guy who will become my enemy and trouble kind father and me. I should prepare a nice mound for him to be buried in too.
For that, the very first thing to do is, of course!
I said with a very threatening expression.
“I want to go to grandma.”
“Great!”
“You must really like your grandmother since you’re a baby!”
……It’s not that I like my grandmother, it’s just part of the plan.
In other words, I was planning to execute the ‘sweettalking the grandma’ operation, that’s it.
“I, Cien Mirmode, have a plan.”
“The Duchess doesn’t have much power, but you love her so much.”
“Our young lady is truly pure.”
Contrary to their beliefs, I was a calculating child, not an innocent one.
There’s a difference between someone who has once held power and someone who hasn’t.
Although the powerful of our family may overlook Duchess Lucera, she has potential and there’s a lot for me to learn from her.
Well, it was fortunate that many of our family’s children and heirs overlooked this fact.
‘Foolish maids. But do I really look pure?’
I seriously pondered as I watched the maids.
Am I less intimidating than I thought? I expected to look very frightening, like a gazelle in front of a deer.
‘I’ll have to try to look like a puffer fish, puffing up my chubby cheeks with poison!’
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.
