Considering Relia’s state, shocked by consecutive situations, turning a blind eye at least once might not be a bad thing. Criticizing each and every thing could lead to exhaustion and collapse before resolving the issues.
At that moment, Teroth, who had gone to prepare the tea, returned to the place. He placed teacups in front of Yustia and Relia, followed by pouring fragrant tea.
“You must have worked hard coming here early in the morning. Come, try it, Young Lady.”
Yustia offered tea to Relia first, then lifted her own teacup. Even though it was tea she drank every day, the aroma that lingered at the tip of her nose was exceptionally pleasant today. She willingly savored the fragrance and taste.
In the meantime, Relia couldn’t bring herself to drink the tea. It was due to the unsatisfactory nature of the short conversation that had just concluded.
Relia couldn’t shake off the anxiety with every breath she took. The attitude of Reurian, who seemed to have turned away from her, was the main reason, but it was also because of Yustia’s attitude that did not give her the assurance she needed, seemingly supportive but not confirming her dedication as before.
She had repeatedly told herself not to think hastily, but it didn’t go as her heart desired. Even now, she wanted to ask Yustia again, seeking a clear answer.
However, there was no need to verbalize those thoughts. Yustia, seemingly having already read her inner thoughts, provocatively curved her lips.
“I’ve been looking for this tea every day for the past few days. Not only the aroma but also the taste, there’s nothing I don’t like.”
Yustia whispered as she set down her teacup. It was an abrupt remark, but Relia couldn’t ignore it.
“It may be a frivolous thought, but I can’t help but think this tea was made for me.”
“…”
“To me, Young Lady is not much different from this tea.”
“…Your Majesty, what do you mean?”
Upon Yustia’s subsequent words, Relia pulled herself up with a flushed face. It felt like she finally heard the awaited words.
However, Yustia didn’t easily reveal her inner thoughts, as if intentionally.
“Of course, people are not the same as tea, but with effort, one can become quite similar.”
“…”
“I have been satisfied and content with everything Young Lady has shown me so far. Excluding the recent mistakes Young Lady has made.”
“…”
“But Young Lady promised not to make the same mistake again, didn’t she?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I really won’t… I won’t make the same mistake again. One mistake is enough. I promise.”
Relia answered as if she were enchanted, somewhat absentminded. Yustia observed her as if enjoying the sight.
While it was very satisfying to see such a submissive attitude, it wasn’t easy to relieve Relia’s tension all at once.
It seemed necessary to drive a wedge into Relia’s mind to ensure she didn’t repeat the same mistake. Considering how to stimulate her provocatively, Yustia soon licked her lips.
“Yes, Young Lady. One mistake is enough. If your determination is certain, I’m willing to turn a blind eye to this mistake. All the displays Young Lady has shown so far have been excellent.”
“…”
“But I can’t tolerate repeated mistakes. If one becomes two, and two becomes three, then it won’t be a mistake but Young Lady’s worthless value.”
At the end of her words, Yustia once again held the teacup in her hand. With this level of carrot and stick, it seemed like it would linger in the mind for quite a while.
As if her expectations were not wrong, Relia’s eyes, which had been somewhat relaxed, began to change very enthusiastically. It was what she had hoped for.
Relia, who seemed to organize her thoughts after my words, soon returned a warm response.
“If Your Majesty is agreeable, I would like to consult on all matters going forward. I promise not to make the same mistake again, but I also want to be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances… And if Your Majesty helps, I’m sure I can win back Young Lady’s heart in a short time.”
Relia’s hesitation was evident, but she conveyed her thoughts without wavering. While the words were not as satisfactory as her thoughts, it was commendable to abandon all pride and make such a request.
Yustia responded with a sly smile, representing her answer, and turned her gaze back to the teacup. It seemed she could enjoy the tea with a more relaxed mind than ever.
In a moment when she was about to sip the tea while inhaling the aroma rising with warmth, an unexpectedly uncomfortable voice echoed in the greenhouse.
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.
