A few days later, there was a commotion at the mansion due to the farewell.
“Thank you for everything, Duke Lexion. I’ll send you a letter once I arrive safely.”
Before leaving the Fortrion mansion in the capital, Helen bid a playful farewell to Balter.
Since Balter had already revealed his identity first, considering it would soon be known to everyone.
“I thought Balter would be an extraordinary person, but the Duke of Lexion was actively welcoming the heir of the enemy.”
Helen knew well that she had to win Balter’s favor for the future of Fortrion. And for that, Edith was the person to conquer.
“Take care, Edith. If you ever need to come to the estate, feel free to contact me.”
Helen offered affectionate greetings to Edith, whom she had grown fond of in a short time.
“Thank you for accompanying me throughout the capital schedule.”
“No, Helen. Thanks to you, I could feel safe in the capital.”
“Don’t be surprised by what I’ve done. Now, you’ll see the pinnacle of a safe haven.”
Helen looked at the hired hands busily organizing travel bags and boxes, brought by someone named Vane from the Lexion Duchy this morning.
“If she’s taking care of a noble household, Edith, who seems a bit naive, must have impressed Balter. Just like Edith received.”
It felt pleasing and reassuring to see in advance how Edith would be treated in the Lexion Duchy. Since the Duke of Lexion had done wrong, it was only right to treat her this way.
Helen, subtly showing a naive side, took her steps, hoping that Edith would make Balter suffer a few more times.
“I’ll return to the estate now. Oh, don’t worry; I’ll send a letter as soon as I confirm the matters you asked.”
Edith and Balter watched the carriage carrying Helen, Reinhardt, and other Fortrion party members depart.
Vane approached them, carefully speaking to those seeing them off.
“Would you like to get on the carriage now, young master?”
“Young master.”
Balter thought it was not a funny title at all. It seemed like a term for someone raised with special care since birth.
“Young master… sounds nice. It suits you well.”
However, hearing that Edith thought it sounded like a title for the male protagonist in a fairy tale, his thoughts changed instantly.
With his broad shoulders relaxed, Balter asked Vane.
“The little wizard who went to bring my sister, where is he?”
Edith immediately corrected his address.
“He’s not a little wizard but Wizard Theos.”
“Right. The yellow wizard who threw himself at our lady at a young age.”
Balter didn’t particularly like Theos, who used to mischievously play pranks in front of him, but he decided to bring him as the only family.
Last night, Edith did not lament my arm and say, “What should we do about Theos, Balter? Even my brother is in pain…”
“The innate magical power amount is a bit disappointing, but the understanding of magical operation and magic formulas is surprisingly remarkable. With a bit more teaching, he’ll be fit to be used as Lexion’s divine successor.”
It was the response that came shortly after asking Vane to find a decent job since the young lad had even been kidnapped. If a family like Lexion’s would be amazed, it undoubtedly meant he was full of talent, and it would definitely not be a loss to take him in.
“Theos and his brother are heading to Lexion Duchy in a different carriage.”
Vane replied. Edith couldn’t help but be surprised by his unexpected character.
“More affectionate than I thought, Balter.”
“What can I do? It’s my nature.”
Balter thought that even if he shamelessly spoke, having her smile and laugh at him was quite a generous reward.
“Then, please get on the carriage.”
Edith boarded the carriage sent by Lexion. Vane confirmed once again if the carriage was comfortable, then briefly summarized the situation.
“As I mentioned, the meaning of gratitude for finding the heir who was trapped in the Fortrion mansion has been spread by inviting Lady Jajak to the mansion. Since the Empire’s biggest festival, the New Year’s Festival, is imminent, there will be little suspicion.”
Vane did not forget to appeal subtly that the large newspaper companies in the capital claimed that Lexion had a firm grip.
“Inviting guests from other families to stay in the starry palace for a month or two is a very common practice among nobles, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Thank goodness. Finding a way to stay at the Lexion mansion without revealing the pregnancy fact.”
Edith was satisfied with her treatment. However, her reaction aroused Vane’s impatience.
“It would have been better if we proceeded with both of your weddings together, but rushing the wedding among the nobles in the capital is often perceived as a very negative meaning. So, for now, it might be good to sequentially proceed with the work after the little master settles in the capital.”
Vane spoke as if making excuses.
Edith agreed, recalling the contents of the letter sent by Lexion’s chief physicians themselves.
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.
