Ertman Duke’s family had a distinguished reputation, slightly exaggerated, with no higher position to climb within the empire.
Of course, they had been isolated recently due to ‘some incident.’
But they were neither lacking in wealth nor influence, and even now, Ertman Duke himself had solidified his influence by sounding the trumpet of victory.
Rather, he was a big fish that Queen Katarina would fret over and want to take with her.
But why would such a person stoop to such a shabby prank?
If anything were to be pointed out…
“……Come to think of it, Duke Ertman knew that I liked Count Clovis.”
“Huh? But Your Majesty knew about the contractual marriage, didn’t you?”
“Right. Maybe he guessed that the reason the partner was Count Clovis was because of love?”
Of course, Elly knew that the reason Odette wanted to propose was not love.
But if someone had eavesdropped on the conversation and passed it on, it might have been difficult to convey the entire conversation.
In the process, it was possible that the reason why Odette chose Louis was not conveyed.
Above all, since Odette had really been watching Louis throughout the banquet to deliver the note, it was true, and they might have guessed it from her attitude.
“The reason is that Duke Ertman had such a misunderstanding…… Maybe the reason for the cooperation was because of Count Clovis.”
There are often cases in social circles where marital problems arise over competitors.
And Odette thought that this might also be the case this time.
“So I didn’t clear up the misunderstanding first. I felt the need to watch the situation.”
“Are Count Clovis and Duke Ertman hostile to each other?”
“I don’t know about that… but thanks to that, I’m in trouble.”
If they were really hostile, the rumor that Odette had an affair with Balter might not be wellreceived by Louis’s side.
‘If Queen Katarina knows my plan……’
She’ll definitely prevent me from meeting Count Clovis.
In a situation where even a meeting with Louis was canceled, this interference was even more troublesome.
So Odette called Elly, who had taken leave due to an injury, earlier.
“I’m sorry for calling you so early when your leg isn’t even healed. But I needed your help because of the situation.”
“Hey, don’t worry about it. My leg is almost healed now. If I knew this was going to happen, I would have gone to the victory celebration!”
“Enough. Where are you going with that leg? Just deliver this letter quickly.”
Odette handed out the letter she had written next to her.
The letter addressed to Count Clovis.
‘I was interrupted from meeting Count Clovis yesterday, but I can’t give up.’
Fortunately, when Louis came onto the terrace.
He seemed to have only seen Balter and not noticed Odette, who was hidden from his view.
Of course, if he heard the rumor, he would quickly realize who the owner of the dress hem that Balter had not completely hidden was, but it probably didn’t matter.
The scandal circulating from Balter’s side for his reputation would soon be clarified as false.
So Odette quickly wrote a letter to proceed with the meeting with Louis that was interrupted last night.
In the letter, she apologized for not showing up for the appointment, stating that the circulating rumor was false, and that she wanted to meet again.
It would have been fine to entrust an ordinary letter to someone else, but she couldn’t trust anyone else now that even the secret conversation with Elly had been leaked.
“We need to deliver the letter quickly, Elly, before Queen Katarina tries to interfere again.”
“Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal.”
Elly spoke breezily and smiled as she stood up from her seat.
Suddenly, the door opened, and someone entered.
Beyond the opened door, the person who appeared was none other than.
“Odette!”
3rd Princess, Lizeina Rodel Celestine.
“You, what on earth have you done!”
[This is a time separator.]Living up to the reputation as the flower of high society, she was splendidly dressed that day as well.
On her lovely pink hair, there were jewels that were obviously crafted with care by a master artisan, and her delicate facial features looked even sharper and more enchanting thanks to the makeup applied by skilled maids.
Of course, this also made her look strong and fierce, but her proud and haughty attitude, fitting for a princess, turned what might be seen as flaws into advantages.
It was just as high society assessed, with a bit of exaggeration, that no man could resist her charms.
But if there was one difference today, it was that Lizeina had a furious expression all the way to the tips of her hair.
Thanks to that, the dress that the maids had spent a long time ironing was now wrinkled in a different way by Lizeina’s hand.
Though Lizeina was known to be hottempered, she was also educated to maintain the dignity of a princess.
It was rare for her to be unable to conceal her anger like this.
‘Why is she so angry?’
Odette asked, standing up from her seat.
“What’s the matter, sister? If you had given me a notice, I would have been prepared…”
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.
