Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 82
Ariadne was nervous that Lucrezia might attempt an excuse like, “I got involved only because I was trying to clean up what was in Ariadne’s room.” Outside, it was an age dominated by the boots and blades of inquisitors.
And this house was the residence of a cardinal—one of the highest-ranking clergy of the Imperial Painting Bureau—who oversaw both the Cathedral of Saint Ercole and the San Carlo diocese. If they became entangled in this matter, even by the slightest margin, it would end badly.
But the foolish Lucrezia offered no excuse whatsoever.
Strictly speaking, Lucrezia’s failure to make an excuse wasn’t solely due to her lack of quick wit or stupidity. She had been caught so blatantly that she didn’t even have room to fabricate an excuse.
“When Nicolo whispered it to me, I thought he was just making a tasteless joke!”
Giada, Lucrezia’s trusted head maid, had encouraged Lucrezia herself, but once Lucrezia actually attempted to perform black magic inside the house, Giada became terrified.
So she went to see Nicolo, the butler and husband of her younger sister, under the pretense of seeking advice. After beating around the bush several times, as the date of Lucrezia’s ritual drew near, she finally spilled everything.
Just before performing her black magic, Lucrezia had confessed everything to Nicolo—except her own mistakes.
Upon hearing the full story, butler Nicolo judged this was not something he could keep to himself. He immediately reported everything he’d heard directly to Cardinal de Mare.
If Cardinal de Mare had confiscated the related items from Lucrezia’s quarters before the black magic was actually performed and put a stop to everything, peace would have prevailed.
Lucrezia’s use of dark sorcery would have remained an attempted crime, and the frog’s blood would have stayed unused inside its flask.
The ivory carpet in the young lady’s room wouldn’t have been stained with putrid blood, and perhaps the whole affair might have been dismissed as a ridiculous farce and quietly buried.
But head maid Giada’s decision came too late. By the time Cardinal de Mare rushed frantically to Lucrezia, she had already begun the ritual.
What the cardinal discovered was a reckless, idiotic, and unbelievable pentagram drawn in blood on the floor of his residence—and beside it, his wife crouching on the ground.
“Do you even have a brain in that head of yours?”
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.
