“It seemed like a man’s name, but even in a situation like this, you’re thinking of men?”
The man called Walter asked, incredulously. There was a hint of mockery in his voice, but at the same time, an intention to calmly understand the other’s thoughts was felt.
“It’s not like that.”
Edith answered shortly but firmly.
The reason she didn’t cry out, asking where she was or demanding to be released, was because she hadn’t identified the man’s identity.
His appearance was the same as the employee called Hans, who had stepped on my hand and hadn’t been trampled. Didn’t he speak in a commanding tone to other employees?
He behaved as though he was highranking all by himself.
‘Even if you act like something, you’re probably just an employee who came here at Sophia’s command.’
He is but one of those who have come to violate me at the impure command.
When her thoughts reached that point, Edith couldn’t hide her contempt. Walter, who caught her cold gaze, twisted his lips in amusement.
“You can’t even go outside because of the binding magic, yet you make such a face. Are you usually slow to grasp the situation?”
Edith was upset by the man’s sarcastic words, but she noticed an important fact. The man knew about the binding magic.
Is it because he is one of Sophia’s close associates?
“……Don’t come near.”
“Now you’re even giving orders.”
Walter laughed again. This time, it was a clear mockery.
“What do you think I’ll do if I approach you?”
His eyes, reminiscent of a dark forest at night, sparkled with interest. Edith gritted her teeth inwardly.
They were the ones who had come at the command of the first lady of the mansion. Whether it was this fellow or that one―.
“You probably intend to force yourself on me.”
Upon saying that, Walter’s expression twisted oddly, and he had the others withdraw momentarily outside the door.
Being left alone with Edith, he asked with a mixed smile.
“Seeing how sure you are, it seems you have looked in the mirror. I can see you have great confidence in your appearance, thinking that a man you just met would want you.”
“What are you talking about…”
Edith was at a loss for words. However, before she could express her indignation, Walter changed his gaze. The sparkling green eyes under his black hair exuded vitality.
“Listen well. I don’t care about Sophia’s command or your body.”
“…….”
“Tell me what Nicholas Portrion said before he was attacked by the assassins, and what he touched.”
As Walter spoke, everything else about his appearance ceased to register. He was a man who could create an imposing atmosphere with his voice and presence alone.
She understood why Hans, who was called a fellow employee, had backed off at Walter’s mere gesture.
The man had broken the other’s momentum like a beast using what he was born with. It naturally made one wonder if this man could really be an ordinary employee.
“You’d better open your mouth quickly.”
“…….”
Edith swallowed her dry saliva.
Her mind was not working well with tension, just after seeing him crush another man’s knucklebones without hesitation. But it was clear to her that his need to know the lord’s actions was quite desperate.
The fact that he was powerful enough to defy Sophia’s command in the mansion was also evident.
So, she had no choice but to gamble in order to escape this filthy Portrion mansion alive.
“Walter. Lord Portrion, who didn’t know how to deal with women alone, came to my house where I live. Then we got on the carriage together, and before we were attacked, the lord had a conversation with me.”
Edith said in a calm voice, looking into his eyes.
There was something she had learned after even her mother had passed away, and she was left alone in the world. Never show weakness in front of others.
The world became cruel and treacherous the moment she showed that she had nothing, no strength, nothing in her hand. Pretending to have, pretending to know was also the best strategy in the Portrion mansion.
“If you want to know what we talked about, what he touched, and where he looked, try fooling Sophia now.”
Speaking in a determined tone, Walter frowned as if doubting his ears.
“……Are you telling me to fake it as if the others attacked that side?”
“I just mean to deceive. If something truly shameful happens, you’ll shut up forever.”
Walter’s gaze, which had been on Edith, subtly changed. Until just now, he seemed to be looking at something he wanted to probe, but now his eyes sparkled as if he had discovered something interesting.
“Are you proposing a deal with me now?”
Walter frowned, lowering his voice. For Edith, his behavior was a good sign.
If he had felt that I was just talking nonsense, he would have threatened me with physical force.
‘Threatening with words means that some information I might leak is very important to him.’
So Edith acted like someone who knew something important.
“Right. A deal. Before I talk about what I know, I need to know if your mouth is tight.”
“You seem to be talking sense, so you must not be crazy.”
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.
