“From now on, I’ll protect you forever in return. I won’t leave Maleta alone. I’ll get rid of anyone who threatens us.”
Ariadne felt a surge of emotion from deep within her chest.
Along with a sense of responsibility, she strangely felt omnipotent. She felt connected to another person, not just herself, and that she needed to exert the strength for two people and also protect two people.
This feeling seemed more than friendship, it resembled the familial love that she hadn’t felt since her mother passed away, buried in vague memories.
The intense emotion that filled Sancha’s chest was her unconditional loyalty to the person who had saved her life. Her family had died one by one from poverty and starvation, and her sister Maleta had betrayed her passionately.
The only thing left in Sancha’s life was the lady who had come from the heavens to save her, Ariadne.
She decided that she would never let go of her lady.
The red energy in Ariadne’s left ring finger seemed to be unsatisfied, wriggling explosively as if to swallow Ariadne’s white skin, but it calmed down rapidly with the girls’ hug.
[This is the time separator]The darkening of the red energy in the left ring finger was not just a feeling but an objective fact.
The last section of the left ring finger, which appeared to be barely tinged with blush, had become a deep pink, like a mosquito bite, after the chaos of the previous day.
As Ariadne kept touching her left ring finger with one hand, Sancha gave a sound.
“Don’t touch the bitten spot continuously! It won’t itch less, but might get infected!”
Sancha, who had seemed like a kitten picked up from the street, had surprisingly sharp words.
“Doesn’t this seem to have grown?”
“How can a finger grow in a day?”
Separate from her love for Ariadne, she was strict with facts and enjoyed being straightforward.
The two were chatting together in the attic on the third floor.
After selling out Sancha like that, maid Maleta moved to Isabella’s side and didn’t come back, and Ariadne didn’t bother to look for her.
While Ariadne couldn’t understand at all, according to the collective intelligence of the discussion with Sancha who had been stalking Maleta since childhood, Maleta was shortsighted by nature.
“It’s not the result of serious deliberation to bury you. She just wanted to say anything to avoid ‘Miss Rosie’ for now, and because it was uncomfortable to be with me, she dumped it on me?”
“Then why doesn’t she come back after that chaos?”
“She’s quickwitted. If she’s stupid, she has animal senses. If not, wouldn’t she have died long ago?”
And she was a severe critic.
“No, how can sisters be so different?”
“She takes after her dad.”
Thinking about her dead father who had been a drunk and a gambler, Sancha scrunched up her nose.
“When she was in trouble, she wanted to get rid of me and monopolize Shumizu, who would be coming down like a gray life as the only maid under the lady, and live a good life, but when she was finished and saw something strange, she didn’t come back and is enduring there. You can bet money on it.”
“How much do you think your monthly salary is.”
“Just saying. Heehee.”
The room Sancha had shared with Maleta naturally became hers alone.
Before, Isabella had strictly reprimanded Ariadne.
“I don’t like backups. Dad taught me. It’s safe to remove all possibilities cleanly. Don’t you, my beloved sister?”
It seemed that Cardinal de Mare had sat down with Isabella and taught her such wisdom of life.
Ariadne could not learn any of that. But even though she did not have parental teaching, destiny gave her time, and Ariadne taught herself with the experience given by time.
Destiny was leading her. She had plenty of time to learn.
This time, she decided to completely get rid of the backup.
It was a mistake to try to capture Maleta, even knowing that her shoots were yellow from her past life. Ariadne, having become uncomfortable, decided to remove Maleta forever when the opportunity comes.
However, there is a time for revenge, so Ariadne decided to let Maleta go for the time being. The disaster that would be appropriate for her end was coming soon.
As there was no one to monitor what Sancha was doing, the two of them stuck together like gum, spending time together, except when Ariadne was being taught by a home teacher with her two other sisters.
After having a good fit once, Lucrezia seemed to have loosened all the lumps, and she did not impose additional punishments on Ariadne and Sancha.
“‘Miss Roshi’, you say. Do you think she thinks she has a straightforward personality?”
Thanks to Queen Marguerite, Lucrezia’s nickname was ‘Miss Roshi’.
“Don’t you think? ‘I say what I want in front, I don’t have anything petty, I have a straightforward personality.’ People who say this.”
Sancha showed a gagging gesture.
“I wish I had only gathered people like myself and locked them up somewhere like a tower. On the seventh day, they might try to tear each other to death with bare hands.”
Knock knock.
As they were gossiping about the hostess, the two, startled by the knock from outside, became quiet like squirrels caught by people.
“Miss Ariadne. The home teacher has arrived.”
The person who knocked was one of Isabella’s maids. It was time to learn Latin and Gallic with Isabella and Arabella.
“Sancha, I’ll be back!”
Leaving Sancha behind, Ariadne followed Isabella’s maid and went down to the girls’ parlor on the 2nd floor.
Ariadne’s room was in the corner of the 3rd floor, so unless it was mealtime, she didn’t often come down to the 2nd floor where the family lived. While walking along the corridor, Lucrezia’s sharp voice came from the Cardinal de Mare’s reception room.
“Do we have to keep that child here?”
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.
