The lady of the manor did not explicitly mention the fact that the prisoner confessed his love to Skaha. Skaha also did not add any unnecessary details to the lady of the manor’s words, acknowledging the special bond they shared.
Having given affection all along, the sense of betrayal grew stronger after learning about Skaha’s true identity. After all, he had driven her away from Conwell and had been sleepless for several days.
This time too, the lady of the manor intended to maintain her dignity until the end. Just as her husband had sent the maid he had affection for to a good place as a concubine.
From the third-rate tabloid journalist who had been following Skaha in Corb, they confiscated photos and sketches, and it seemed that their dignity would not crumble, as they utilized the confiscated film.
“Still, even if the Duke has done something in the past, it shouldn’t bring disgrace to our family. It’s like the Lindcoam incident. It’s not about whether such things actually happened; it’s about these types of incidents.”
A perplexed expression spread across the white face.
Even when she stayed in Conwell with a full belly, he always thought she was beautiful, but she looked dazzlingly beautiful with a hat, gloves, and even outdoor clothes, looking quite ladylike.
Even after attending Ecol Parsad all the way through to a boys’ school, his son, who had no immunity to women, would easily fall for her.
“I truly apologize for causing concern… I’m sorry.”
Even though her face looked like she might cry, you could see her resisting the urge to do so. Even that face was so beautiful that it might be a problem.
“You were trying to get a lawyer for that soldier, right?”
“….”
The lady of the manor raised the teacup from the table where Skaha had been standing all along and savored the aroma.
“There’s no need to go that far for a lawyer in such matters.”
Her eyes, which were unsure what to do, widened in surprise.
“That man Lugard wasn’t the main culprit. It’s not that difficult for the Blakhnatt family to get such a person out of prison.”
It was the lady of the manor who had already decided to call Skaha into Conwell, who took the man Lugard out of the Imperial prison. Perhaps because the Emperor was absent due to fox hunting, it was surprisingly easy to get attention for such a case.
“… The bail was paid by the lady of the manor.”
The lady of the manor nodded, as if she already knew. Still, it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
Before Skaha could say anything more, the lady of the manor, with a gentle smile, led Skaha. Although it was somewhat coercive guidance, it was a reasonably good choice, as it confirmed that Skaha still couldn’t resist her words.
“Well, [dash], since you’re here, attend the reception tonight. The Duke will be very pleased. To do that, it’s better to exchange greetings with other noble ladies.”
Just before entering the greenhouse where the tea table was set, Skaha, following the lady of the manor, stopped.
“Uh, Lady of the Manor. Have all misunderstandings about me been cleared up now?”
“… Misunderstandings? Is there anything to misunderstand? It’s not your fault that an ugly person acted up.”
It was somewhat sincere. She already knew that it wasn’t Skaha’s fault.
It’s just that a woman who was misunderstood as the wife of a man, even before marriage, and had a child with his son, couldn’t be tolerated. Not to mention the fact that she had spent some time with other men for a while.
Wasn’t she lacking in many ways to become a member of the prestigious Blakhnatt family?
The large eyes continue to meet without averting their gaze. The lady of the manor turns her head sharply, narrowing her eyes, as if revealing her hidden resentment.
“Oh, Princess Erwin?!”
Just at this timing, Agnomann Young-Ae appeared.
Although Agnomann Young-Ae kept the secret that she had driven Skaha away, she was not fundamentally favorable to Skaha. As a lady of the manor who didn’t want Skaha’s presence in the Blakhnatt family, Agnomann Young-Ae was a rather awkward opponent.
“I greet Agnomann Young-Ae.”
Greeting gracefully by slightly lifting the hem of her dress, Erwin seemed to have become more accustomed to the etiquette of Parsad as if she had practiced it more on her body. Although she was only about ten years old, she had been a princess in the past, so her movements were naturally elegant.
“I greet Princess Erwin. I thought you were coming to Conwell. Oh, perhaps a surprise?”
Iriel, who continues to smile cheerfully, advances toward the conversation. Lady of the manor steps forward toward Iriel, as if she intends to continue the conversation.
“I thought you were enjoying tea time, but you were outside. Agnomann Young-Ae.”
“I was worried because the main character of tea time didn’t come. I didn’t know I would have such an unexpected guest.”
Even though she knew better than anyone the awkward atmosphere between the lady of the manor and Skaha, Agnomann Young-Ae skillfully leads the atmosphere without any sign of awkwardness.
Such a woman should have entered the Blakhnatt family…
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.
