Certainly, here’s the translated passage:
“Cough. Cough.”
Lina coughed repeatedly as she wandered the hallway.
“Lina. Caught a cold?”
“Yeah. I got a little wet in the rain yesterday.”
Her body already in poor condition and now caught in the rain, Lina’s state had deteriorated further.
“Wouldn’t it be better to rest in your room then?”
“It’s not that bad yet. I have something to say to the butler as well.”
After several days of contemplation, Lina had made up her mind to leave the mansion.
Since the Duke entered the mansion, there hadn’t been a single peaceful day. Ridiculous rumors. The murmur of people. Everything had become tiresome.
That day, her offer to leave the mansion in place of Henry had been spontaneous, but there was some sincerity in it.
It was daunting as she had nowhere to go, so she had to stay in the mansion, but now it was the limit of her patience.
‘I’m worried about May, but……’
Before leaving the mansion, she was most concerned about May. It was uncomfortable to think of leaving May, who followed her like a sister, saying she couldn’t ignore her feelings.
Furthermore, now that Henry was away from the mansion, it was more worrying.
Lina looked at May with worried eyes.
“May. How about moving to the townhouse in the capital?”
“The townhouse?”
“Yes. Henry is in the capital, too. And.”
As Lina was about to say that she would quit the mansion, May spoke.
“It’s okay. The butler and the Duke said they’d feel better and tell you again. So we just have to wait a little longer.”
At her words, Lina, who was about to say she was quitting, quietly smiled.
“Fortunately. Then Henry confessed?”
“Yes! Huh? What, what?”
Like someone who had been caught in a big secret, May began to noticeably panic. Seeing her reaction, Lina was reassured inside.
From the look on her face, it seemed that Henry had confessed before he left.
‘At least they knew each other’s hearts, so it’s fortunate.’
She had no regrets about this place. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible. She was already prepared to leave.
Perhaps she could get married through the introduction of a distant relative back in her hometown.
Since many women were getting married in this way, there would be no particular suspicion.
‘I’ve even made a letter as if it came from a relative.’
She didn’t really expect anyone to check, but just in case, she had prepared a letter. But who would investigate a mere maidservant’s personal life so closely?
After making the decision, something that had been weighing heavily on her mind felt lighter.
‘Let’s tell the butler first. And the Duke is……’
But as she thought of the Duke, Lina’s steps slowed. Since that day, she hadn’t properly faced the Duke.
He had quietly accepted her service as if nothing had happened, and she had served him as if nothing had happened.
‘The butler will tell him well.’
She thought there was no need to tell the Duke she was quitting first. It wouldn’t be too late to ask the Duke’s forgiveness after speaking with Cullen first.
Lina hurried her steps to the butler’s room, eager to leave the mansion as soon as possible.
“You’re quitting the mansion?”
Cullen asked in surprise at Lina’s words.
“Yes. I received a letter from a distant relative a while ago. They say there’s a good groom and ask if I don’t intend to marry. I miss my hometown, and I’m of marrying age, too.”
“That’s true, but……”
Lina handed over the letter she had prepared in advance. Cullen, examining the letter she handed over, adjusted his glasses.
“Lina. I can’t believe you’re getting married. I still think of you as a child……”
Cullen’s thoughts were understandable. To him, she was just a young girl, far from marriage.
“Some of my friends are already married and have children.”
“Have you told the Duke?”
“No. Not yet……”
Lina hesitated and spoke.
“When will you think of leaving the mansion?”
“As soon as possible. If possible, I want to leave within this week.”
“That soon?”
Cullen’s face darkened as if in difficulty.
‘Will the Duke allow it……?’
Considering his long experience with the Duke, it didn’t seem like the Duke would let Lina go easily. Whether Lina had read Cullen’s mood or not, she lowered her eyes and spoke.
“You know, Butler. The rumors going around the mansion these days……”
Cullen knew the rumors circulating between Lina and the Duke. Even if the Duke didn’t know, it must have been tough for the young maid.
Having watched what kind of child Lina was all this time, it was even more understandable why Lina wanted to leave.
‘Leaving here as soon as possible would be better for both the Duke and this child.’
“Yes. I understand. As soon as the Duke returns to the mansion, I’ll tell him.”
“Thank you. Butler.”
[This is the time separator]“I’ve told the Butler, and now I just need to tell Mei.”
Mei will surely cry and hold on to her, but she’ll be fine soon.
It’s not a goodbye forever. She can come here to meet the two if there’s a chance.
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.
