She felt that if they met a few more times, they would tell her what they wanted. With increasing excitement at the swelling anticipation, Olivia realized Edwin’s face was turning red.
And she looked around, deliberately. The most suitable subject to change the topic came to her mind.
“But when will Sir Kalter return?”
Winster, who was supposed to return from the system, hadn’t come for several days. It was about time. As Olivia blinked, Edwin ambiguously smiled, looking beyond the plate glass window.
“……That’s true. He would have been here already if nothing had happened, but it seems some unwelcome guests are hovering around Vicander.”
Olivia tilted her head at the incomprehensible words. Edwin’s eyes sparkled as he shuffled the cards with skilled hands.
“Shall we play another round? This time, with concentration?”
(This is a time separator.)
At the same time, inside a noisy tavern.
The sound of clinking glasses was noisy, but Jade swallowed food without even taking off his blue robe.
It was the first food he had eaten other than jerky since leaving the mansion two days ago.
“……The Crown Prince is curious about Olivia.”
He had always trained as if punishing himself. The weary marshal, who had had enough of such lifeconsuming actions as a knight, had forced him to take a vacation. It was what he had said in the evening on the day he went into the mansion.
His father, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, frowned and said,
“Answer moderately, and you all should know this too.”
“I will visit the child.”
Jade answered almost before his father’s words ended. In truth, permission was not needed. The fact that the crown prince was interested in Olivia, that one fact seemed like it could be an excuse to see Olivia.
“Now you feel guilt?”
“If you see your sister, make sure to say you’re sorry. Of course, if you genuinely feel sorry.”
The words his older brother and Eshela had said when he was rushing out came to mind. Jade shook his head roughly. The opposing two’s words got mixed up.
If he were to face her……. Even though he had come this far, Jade himself didn’t know what he should say. Just by picturing Olivia’s face, his lips tightly closed.
It was when Jade was swallowing a stifled breath and getting up from his seat.
“It has been a while, Sir Madelleine.”
A somewhat familiar voice was heard. Jade turned his body in a flutter. A brownhaired man who looked ordinary at a glance, sitting at a table at a moderate distance.
“……Sir Kalter.”
Winster Kalter. A fellow as close to the Duke was looking at me. As he felt a displeasure as if perhaps he had been stepped on from behind, Jade was about to frown.
“What brings you here?”
Winster smiled sociably.
Jade did not trust people who smiled like that. Especially if it was Winster Kalter, his reputation was not as good as that of the Duke called the slaughterer.
Without answering, Jade moved his steps.
“Have some more food before you return to the Capital. Anyway, you won’t even cross the main gate of Vicander Domain, so don’t waste your strength.”
At words that seemed to belittle him, Jade looked at Winster reflexively.
Eek. While backing off his body, he smiled widely. Looking at the face, Jade spoke in a threateningly low voice.
“……What do you mean.”
“Ah, you must not know. The Vicander Domain has banned the entrance of the royal family and the entire Madelleine Ducal House.”
Winster added as if showing compassion.
“Since a little while ago.”
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.
