“His Grace has allowed it, so there’s no way it won’t be done.”
Helena, who was not a complete fool, noticed Chloe’s malice.
“I spoke as I normally do. If you wish me to explain in simpler terms, don’t be shy and ask.”
At first, the reason Chloe had shown courtesy to Helena was the guilt she still felt towards her.
But now that even a trace of emotion had faded, the Duchess had no manners to show to the government.
“Enough!”
Having been ignored more than twice, Helena finally exploded. She abruptly stopped using the polite language she had been using.
Normally, one would scold the rudeness shown to her, a royal and a Duchess, but this mansion was a place where common sense did not apply.
Since the standard would not be upheld, Chloe gave up neatly.
“You loved Callis, did you?”
With a snort, Helena landed a direct hit.
Chloe almost lost the composure she had been barely maintaining.
‘…How does this woman know?’
Chloe had never directly confessed her love to Callis.
She didn’t think she could hide it perfectly, but she hadn’t known he was aware of it.
“…Did he say that?”
In that case, was it a brutal trampling even knowing that fact, as he proudly flaunted the woman he loved in front of her?
“I feel so sorry for you.”
To Chloe’s retort, Helena laughed smugly.
‘Oh my!’ With a highpitched voice, she exclaimed and then clapped her hands, revealing her humorous feelings.
“He was mine from the beginning.”
“…”
“From the beginning, he planned to bring me here, Princess.”
From the beginning?
Chloe involuntarily scowled at the incomprehensible words. As her previously immaculate expression finally crumbled, Helena seemed quite satisfied.
Her momentum growing, she shrugged her shoulders as she continued speaking.
“Well, at first it was forceful, but it wasn’t just a forced marriage with you, Princess. There was a contract.”
“…”
“When the royal family and he made the contract, Callis told me he would marry you, but asked me to wait a little as he would bring me after a year.”
If Helena’s words were true, then Callis and Chloe’s marriage would be a marriage of strategy.
Not a prostitutelike marriage that simply occurred under the oppressive command of the royal family.
It didn’t look like Helena was lying. Not only was it not something a commoner could make up, but it also fit the entire story.
If there were any doubts, it would be why Helena, who knew the background, wrote an article like ‘Unfortunate Cinderella’.
Suddenly, Chloe could find the answer to the question that had briefly crossed her mind.
When he made the contract with the royal family, Callis had planned it all. He adjusted the contract so that there would be no problems later.
He never gave up his former lover from the beginning, he was just waiting for this situation to come.
‘Why did I…’
In that case, what was the reason for blaming Chloe so much? Was it really because he didn’t want this marriage?
It turned out that Callis had received substantial sponsorship from the royal family. His position and territory were also sponsored by the royal family.
He got everything he wanted, and he took all the love he wanted and brought it here.
So why did Chloe have to be criticized for the past year?
“Pfft. Look at the shocked face.”
“…”
“How truly pitiful, Princess.”
During her shock, an annoying voice stabbed Chloe’s ears. The face she naturally confronted revealed a familiar emotion.
A year. It was the emotion that Chloe had to face during her married life in the mansion.
“The pitiful one is you, Lady Helena.”
“What?”
“Even though you waited for a year, perfect compensation won’t be waiting for you.”
Was it because of the clear hatred shown by her opponent? Chloe, uncharacteristically, became excited.
“As you know yourself, you will never become the Duchess. Even if you have his heart, you will never take his side.”
Divorce in the kingdom is virtually impossible, being so rare as to be exceptional.
But in the main temple, where they support Callis unconditionally, then it would be more than possible.
Considering that he didn’t insist on divorce and took Helena as his wife, it must mean that he wants to continue his life with Chloe.
Because the benefits that marriage to her brings are tempting.
“You can’t satisfy what he wants.”
“……You!”
Helena glared at her opponent with wide eyes. The red bloodline in the pure white of her eyes stood out, making her previously adorable expression ferocious.
“Do you still see me in your eyes as someone who should be pitied?”
The ensuing blunt question trampled all over Helena’s pride.
She wanted to slap her opponent hard right away. She still wanted to teach that arrogant woman a lesson.
Contrary to her expectations, the one who ended up learning a lesson in reality was Helena.
Her opponent was, after all, a duchess and a princess of the kingdom. If she went as far as causing injury, it could become a big issue.
All Helena could do was gasp for breath and vent her remaining anger.
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.
