Shanna seemed to increasingly regard me with suspicion, thinking she was being replaced every time I helped Floria. Now, as if seeking revenge, she skillfully diverted the topic I had just brought up.
“Ah, right. First, it’s about Sister’s marriage.”
Floria nodded.
“Delaying it will only worsen the rumors, so it’s better to have the wedding as soon as possible…”
“Princess!”
Interrupting Floria, I unintentionally shouted.
“I’ve thought of a good way to win over the 1st Prince’s heart!”
Floria slowly raised her eyebrows.
“What method is it?”
“Well, um…”
I was tongue-tied.
I tried to avoid the topic of marriage with Geviss Parolong, but how could I turn the 1st Prince’s heart? However, if I didn’t answer, Floria’s expression suggested that she might seize the banquet hall tomorrow.
“Think, Renéola Violet! Find a way to entertain three inches of tongue!”
Biting my lips and rolling only my eyes, Shanna, who had let out a faint laugh, leaned toward Floria.
“Princess, how can a mere maid like me win the 1st Prince’s heart? Perhaps, is it because Your Highness does not like the matchmaking I arranged…?”
“Is that so, Sister?”
“No! Lord Parolong is too much for me. Although a part was cut off there… Anyway, it was someone that Your Highness introduced to me, so how could I dislike it? Moreover, even if such rumors have spread, it’s natural for me to get married. However, my marriage is not that important.”
I felt my head spinning with the need to somehow justify myself.
“Right now, I think it’s a priority to win over the 1st Prince’s heart and prevent the marriage with Princess Izolla. In my opinion, attaching a reliable person to him might work.”
“Are you suggesting planting a spy?”
“Yes! That’s exactly it. Approach the 1st Prince, extract information about him, sow discord between him and Princess Izolla, and if their marriage can be thwarted, it would be killing two birds with one stone.”
“But I heard that the 1st Prince, being a seasoned warrior, does not easily trust people. Moreover, he is not typically cruel and capricious, so who would dare to approach him?”
“If Your Highness wishes, anyone would dare. If everyone refuses, I am more than willing to step forward…!”
Huh?
“Yes? Sister?”
Huh?
“Are you saying Sister will go to the 1st Prince?”
Distractedly blurting out words, I felt cold sweat running down my back as I looked at Floria, who sparkled with curiosity as if asking for a response. I wanted to lash out at my reckless tongue, but now it was too late, so I just raised my trembling lips in a forced smile.
“Of course, if it’s for Princess V, I could jump into a pit, not just the 1st Prince. But even the 1st Prince should be aware that I’m Your Highness’s sister, so he might not allow me by his side, don’t you think?”
“No, on the contrary, that might appeal to the 1st Prince.”
Shanna. Shanna. Shanna!
No matter how many opportunities I’ve taken away from you, can you force me into this situation?
Shanna began persuading Floria, either giving me resentful glares or not, but it seemed Floria was considering Shanna’s proposal.
“The rumors about Violet Gae are known throughout the Hyllic Kingdom. Naturally, the 1st Prince must have heard about it too. Now, Renéola is pretending to be loyal to him, but who would believe that anyone has truly become loyal to him.”
“No! I genuinely regret my past actions and am sincere in serving Your Highness. Please believe me, Princess Violet!”
Do you not remember the outstanding performances I’ve put on until now? I silently shouted.
“Well, this opportunity might be a chance to show His Highness that sincerity.”
Shanna nodded and looked down at me.
“Enter the 1st Prince’s residence and find out his weaknesses.”
Darn it.
I can’t keep avoiding this. I glanced at Floria, who seemed to share Shanna’s thoughts.
“Sending Sister to the 1st Prince, known for his cruelty, is not something I fancy either, but like Shanna said, Sister seems to be the most suitable candidate.”
“…Wouldn’t it be better to choose someone with more exceptional looks than me? That way, it might be easier to win the 1st Prince’s favor.”
“Someone too outstanding may arouse suspicion. On the contrary, someone like Renéola with an ordinary face might catch the other person off guard.”
…What do you mean by that?
“I’m worried about the danger, but someone as clever as Your Highness can surely handle it well.”
Floria reassured me, holding my hand.
“But I’m not sure how to approach the 1st Prince…”
“Don’t worry about that. I’ve heard that the 1st Prince’s residence is always short of maids. There, Sister could comfortably stay not as a maid but as a servant.”
How could I stay comfortably as a servant when I’m a maid to the 1st Prince?
But just as I forcefully pushed through Floria’s marriage with Geviss Parolong, it seemed that Floria’s mind was firmly set on using me as a gambit to send to the 1st Prince.
“I’ll try to somehow dispel the rumors about Parolong.”
“Your Highness…”
“Will you help, Sister?”
Floria smiled sweetly, her eyes glittering.
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.
