Completely ignoring the lingering Swan, Arianthe, who had been sticking to the door, suddenly jumped up as if leaping onto a puddle like a puppy. Swan, who had always imitated the sophisticated adults while living in the royal palace, was frightened by Arianthe’s sudden behavior.
“Oh, Arianthe!”
Swan grabbed Arianthe’s hand and pulled her up abruptly. Noticeably, her white lace stockings were noticeably dirty from the dust on the floor. Swan crouched down to try to brush it off, but before she could lower her body, Arianthe, holding onto Swan’s shoulders, began shaking her vigorously.
“Ah, why are you doing this!”
“Did you see? Did you see?”
“What are you… Arianthe, stop shaking. I feel like I’m going to throw up.”
Swan’s face turned even paler. However, Arianthe wasn’t shaking Swan out of concern that she might vomit, but for an entirely different reason. Arianthe let go of Swan’s shoulders not because she was worried he might throw up, but for an entirely different reason.
After the dizzying shake, when Swan barely found his balance, he could see that Arianthe’s pupils were shining excessively, more than usual.
So blue and transparent that it seemed one could jump in and swim.
With her hands tightly clenched together, Arianthe, with a face reminiscent of a revived angel, said.
“You know, I think my father might love Maiana!”
Swan’s eyes were almost about to pop out. However, Arianthe, who was already immersed in her own world, wouldn’t have known whether Swan’s eyes were popping out or his tongue was sticking out.
Circling in place with her hands gathered as if in prayer, Arianthe, with a joyful shout, even kicked her legs while covering her mouth with tightly clenched fists. Her cheeks were tinged with pink, and her excitement was vividly displayed.
Swan didn’t want to pour cold water on the excited Arianthe… but he couldn’t help but say this.
“Master… shouldn’t marry Maiana, right?”
Then, Arianthe turned around to Swan with her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Why? Why not?”
“Shh! Shh. Lower your voice. Um, that… well, the person who marries the master, so to speak… becomes the duke’s wife since he is addressed as ‘Duke.'”
“Of course.”
Arianthe snorted, seemingly saying, “Do I not know that much?” She pinched her tiny nose as if to let out a snort. However, Swan, still wearing an awkward expression, continued, fumbling with his hands.
“Uh, well… noble ladies have a lot to do. Even the noble ladies I saw in the royal palace, they present themselves to Her Majesty, gather for social events… Anyway, they were incredibly busy. And, of course, there are etiquette rules to be observed among the nobility…”
“So, what’s the point?”
Swan hesitated, trying to correct Arianthe’s words.
“Maybe it’s not a matter, but a ‘conclusion’?”
Arianthe stomped her foot. Fortunately, the carpet was soft, so no sound was made, but Swan was taken aback.
“Whatever! What’s the conclusion?”
“Um, lower your voice a bit. No, what I mean is… Maiana is not, well, she’s not a noble. Or perhaps she’s a fallen noble?”
“What? No.”
“Then, she can’t become a duke’s wife…”
With a serious expression, Swan, clouding the end of his words, looked at Arianthe’s face and was startled when he saw her eyes, which had been bright and cheerful just moments ago, now filled with tears. Not only that, but her little cheeks were puffed up, and her eyebrows were furrowed with all her might. And then…
“No!”
When Arianthe shouted, Swan almost fell backward, nearly hitting his bottom.
Although he had seen Arianthe shouting at him before, hearing it up close like this was a first! No matter how loud the voice was, it was ringing in his ears.
It wasn’t just Swan who heard the sound. The door opened wide, and Maiana and Cedelloi, both looking confused, rushed in almost simultaneously.
“Lady, what’s wrong?”
As Maiana crouched in front of Arianthe, Cedelloi looked at Swan.
“Swan, what happened?”
Swan, with a gentle smile, asked him again.
“Did the two of them fight?”
“Oh, no. It’s not a fight. It’s not like that…”
“Swan said that my father and Maiana can’t get married!”
Swan, who had been hesitating, now wore a face that seemed almost faint. Cedelloi smiled affectionately and asked him again.
“Is it a matter of concern?”
Swan, with a pale face, only muttered his lips. Cedelloi, with a tender smile, asked again.
“Are they fighting?”
“Oh, no. It’s not a fight. It’s just that… Swan said that Maiana can’t become a duke’s wife!”
Arianthe, who had been bouncing her small foot like an angry rabbit, now completely misunderstood Swan’s gestures.
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.
