With a bit of donation, constant contact, and small gifts, she maintained a very friendly relationship with the managers.
“Yes, she will be staying in the shelter for a while.”
Malleta rolled her eyes, unable to understand how things were going. She wouldn’t be saying she’s going to put me in a poor asylum, would she? How did Miss Ariadne know that I would be here?
“Make sure she can stay in a place that doesn’t attract much attention…”
Sancha momentarily considered asking Mr. Kamondo to keep Malleta from going outside. But that seemed a bit too much. Malleta must know that the outside is dangerous, and she has no money to do anything outside anyway.
Moreover, asking to imprison a guest could harm the lady’s reputation.
“Do you have anything else to ask?”
“No, I’ll come and get her when the time comes. Please contact me anytime if there are any peculiarities.”
“Of course.”
“Thank you in advance.”
“Don’t worry.”
After exchanging greetings with Mr. Kamondo, it was time to go to the dormitory. Mr. Stampar, the operation manager, was in charge of guiding to the dormitory.
“Mr. Stampar? Is Mr. Stampar here?”
“Who is it that’s being so troublesome?”
Unlike the courteous Mr. Kamondo, Stampar was a middleaged man with a shabby red beard stained with food and his body stank of sweat. His work attitude also didn’t seem particularly diligent.
He came to the counter after being called for a while, and his red hair was tousled as if he had been taking a nap in broad daylight.
Despite Stampar’s rude service, Sancha greeted him courteously, with the idea that her attitude was the face of her lady.
“Hello! You are Mr. Stampar, the operational manager, right?”
When a young girl dressed in fancy clothes flattered him to this extent, Stampar grudgingly softened his attitude a bit.
“That’s right, but who are you?”
“I’m Sancha, working for the second lady of De Mare.”
Sancha specifically clarified her affiliation was not with the Cardinal de Mare, but with Ariadne.
“For the time being, I would like to ask you to have this person live in the lodgings managed by Signor Stampa. I have already obtained the approval of the head of planning and finance, Carmondo.”
Stampa clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. He scratched his red maplecolored hair in annoyance.
“Is it a request to tie my hands and feet and just ask? If Mr. Carmondo orders, I have to follow. What else can I do?”
Sancha greeted him with a sad smile.
“Thank you in advance.”
Sancha added a word.
“Please make sure that this person doesn’t wander around at will.”
It was a comment left ambiguously, whether it was a hostage or a person under protection.
Carmondo was a highranking official who could influence Miss Ariadne’s reputation, but Stampa was just an ordinary manager, so his opinion was not to be delivered to the social world. Sancha asked for Maretta’s surveillance with a relieved mind.
She could have given Stampa a silver coin, but she didn’t want to go that far for Maretta. So, after roughly getting rid of the public matter with words, she left Maretta with Mr. Stampa.
Just before leaving, Sancha whispered to Maretta.
“Lady Lucrezia is waiting for you. It would be best not to come home for a while.”
Maretta screamed.
“What are you going to do to me…! Are you going to leave me here forever?”
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.
