Valige turned around with an urgent look at the sound. But there was only a brownhaired boy standing in front of the bakery.
‘Must have heard it wrong.’
It was too little to call a side effect, as he had only taken one pill.
‘Sigh.’
Valige scoffed at himself. Apparently, he missed Lina so much that he seemed to have heard her voice, even if it was a hallucination.
“Duke, I have found a suitable lodging. Philip will come to the inn after purchasing what we need.”
“Alright, let’s go quickly.”
Was it because the headache had subsided a little due to the painkiller? Or was it because he had heard Lina’s voice, even if it was an illusion?
Valige followed Lawrence with a slightly improved mood.
(This is a time separator.)
“Hua—. Finally, it’s over.”
It was when the busiest evening time at the inn had ended, and Lina sat down to catch her breath.
“Teo! The guest in room 302 is looking for alcohol. Find it in the warehouse as written here and bring it to him.”
“Yes, understood.”
Lina, who sighed quietly due to the boss who immediately gave her work without a break, accepted the order.
“Five bottles of Bruecladur?”
Lina looked at the paper several times to make sure the order was not wrong.
The ordered liquor was a very strong one, rumored to render even a giant unconscious after a single bottle.
“Ordering this much of such strong liquor… Are they trying to kill themselves with it?”
She wondered if they might be drinking it without knowing what it was, but it was none of her business.
“Well, it’s their fault if something goes wrong.”
With that thought, Lina stopped in front of room 302, a basket full of alcohol in her hands.
Knock—.
“Hello. I have brought the liquor you ordered.”
But no response came from inside the room. Thinking that they might not have heard, she knocked and spoke again, but only silence greeted Lina.
“They said they were in the room, didn’t they?”
Lina, thinking it was strange, came closer to the door. Then, faintly, the sound of water came through the door.
It seemed that the room’s occupant had ordered the alcohol and was now taking a bath.
‘What should I do? It seems rude to go in, but I’m too tired to come back later…’
Lina, holding the basket, hesitated for a moment and then cautiously opened the door.
‘I’ll just drop off the alcohol quickly and leave.’
As it was impolite to enter without the owner’s permission, she carefully stepped into the room.
“Excuse me.”
Speaking in a low, creeping voice, Lina quickly approached the table beside the bed and took the alcohol out of the basket and placed it on the table. But then,
“Huh? What are these…”
On the table, there were various types of sleeping pills and painkillers. She picked up the most noticeable container among them.
‘This is Alkinto.’
Not just Alkinto, all the other medicines were so poisonous that they would upset the stomach if not taken after meals.
“This combination of strong liquor and these drugs is the worst… ”
It was something to be stopped unless they wanted to ruin their bodies.
Is it really done in ignorance?
Or else.
Lina, with a suddenly serious expression, shook her head.
‘No, don’t get involved unnecessarily. Right now, it’s best not to do anything conspicuous.’
Consoling herself as she carefully moved, Lina headed towards the door to leave, but a familiarlooking sword caught her eye near the entrance.
‘Huh? That sword… I’ve seen it somewhere, but where?’
The crudelooking sword, with every trim and ornament appearing luxurious, oddly seemed familiar to Lina, who tilted her head.
“Where have I seen that thing…”
And at that moment.
Thump—.
Along with the sound of the bathroom door opening, a chilling sensation crept up beside her neck.
Her heart dropped to the ground in an instant at the sudden situation.
But.
What made her heart drop more than the cold blade standing sharply by her neck was exactly.
“How dare you come this far. You must want to die.”
A familiar voice flowing into her ear. And.
‘No way.’
A familiar body scent, full of humidity.
Ah.
Although she did not see the man’s face, she recognized him at once.
“Who sent you? Is it Empress Eugenie?”
Because it was the man she had been longing for.
‘It can’t be.’
“Answer.”
As Duke Valige pressed Lina with his swordholding hand, hot blood oozed from under her neck.
“Uh…”
An involuntary shallow moan flowed from Lina’s lips.
“I asked who you are.”
‘What should I do?’
If she uttered a word here, even though she was in disguise, the Duke might recognize her.
“It’s your last chance. If you don’t answer now, I’ll cut your throat right away.”
The Duke seemed ready to put force on the knife at any moment, but her mind was blank.
His presence was overwhelming her so much.
At that moment when Duke Valige, who did not recognize Lina, was about to speak again, a familiar voice came along with the sound of knocking on the door.
“Duke, it’s Lawrence.”
“Come in.”
As Lawrence entered the room, he asked in a hurry at the unexpected situation unfolded inside.
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.
