Lord Kaidel, after swiftly stuffing the cookie I dropped into his mouth, smiled brightly again. His satisfaction was evident when he saw my jaw-dropping expression as I looked at him.
Indeed, that man not only was accustomed to people’s gazes but also knew how to enjoy them.
Unfortunate.
“There are advantages to working in the same workplace. It means spending time together during work hours.”
“……. The nonsense is really annoying. As much as your appearance.”
He sipped the tea with a rising steam and then said with an expression like ‘Oops.’
“I’ll have tea soon. I can’t concede this because it’s already been drunk. But if you want, I’d be happy to…”
“Lord Kaidel, what are you doing here?”
“I came to find clothes for Lord Grayan. Have you heard the news of Ambassador Agael’s return?”
“I’ve heard. But isn’t such a task usually assigned to a servant?”
“I am somewhat dedicated to His Highness. To repay that devotion with such good fortune, I should express my gratitude to the gods.”
Woof. Woof, woof.
“Princess Miliora is also paying attention to this party. Isn’t that right?”
“Princess Miliora has no intention of displaying any favor for this treaty. She just feels upset and has come to distract herself from it. Don’t misunderstand.”
“Hmm.”
His indifferent remark made me realize how difficult it must be for Princess Miliora.
If she appears too beautifully at the party and receives attention, she will be misunderstood as asserting her influence, but if she acts moderately and leaves, she will be criticized for violating etiquette.
However, there was no need for Lord Kaidel to point that out. And he didn’t need to show up here!
“I know Lord Kaidel’s plans, but give up following me. It’s useless.”
“……. Lord Kaidel put down the teacup and crossed his legs. A few wrinkles appeared and disappeared on his forehead.
I seized the opportunity before he could speak.
“Are you sitting down and having tea while looking for clothes? Aren’t you busy?.”
“I’m busy. I’m so busy that I’m pretending to wait for clothes here to meet you. Well, it’s been about an hour and a half.”
“Well….”
I was ready to retort whatever he said, but his honest and shameless answer left me speechless.
He spoke slowly and leaned toward me, and his piercing gaze came dangerously close, making my head empty as if my throat was dry.
His tightly closed lips seemed to contain tremendous emotions and words.
The feeling that my chest might burst with a negative meaning, considering that everything inside him might be my share, overwhelmed me.
“Miss, I’ll prepare the tea for you. A good black tea has arrived. How about…I’ll prepare black tea!”
The waiter, surprised by our subtle situation, left hastily.
I tried to reach out as if to grab her, but Lord Kaidel was too close, and I couldn’t move recklessly.
I blushed instantly.
“On this clear day, I feel like I’ll be struck by lightning!”
I wanted to grab the waiter who had just left, sit him down, and explain that it was definitely not the situation he might be thinking.
However, with a face flushed like this, my explanations only fueled suspicion.
In the end, I pressed my body against the opposite corner of the sofa in a strange mood.
Then, Lord Kaidel, while sipping his tea again, chuckled silently.
“Indeed, it’s a good choice. I’m glad to share this delightful taste with you, Miss.”
There was a distance between his body and his words.
When Lord Kaidel addressed me as a “Miss,” keeping a distance, it sounded sticky because of his peculiar way of speaking.
“Sigh… Mom, if I die and go to hell, I won’t be able to see Mom, right…?”
He spoke elegantly.
“People consider our relationship so natural and obvious. It would be nice if you also slowly accepted it.”
“What! What should I accept?”
“The fate between us.”
“Fate…”
I asked with my jaw clenched. If I relaxed my jaw, it seemed like my past skills would come out.
Fate? Shove it up your dog’s nose…
I said with a feeling of irritation.
“Will you continue to do this in the future? Pretending to coincidentally follow me, acting affectionate in front of others.”
“Miss Loar, I sincerely enjoy the time spent with you.”
“That’s not it!”
“Have you ever tried a fruit called Coel?”
“Fruits now…?”
“It’s a fruit from across the sea, and both the peel and the smell are atrocious. When you see it for the first time, you might doubt if it’s edible because of its appearance, but once you open the peel and taste the flesh…”
Without taking his eyes off me, he smiled very attractively.
“But I am superior in both appearance and fragrance. Please open your heart a little more. You won’t regret it.”
“Superior appearance doesn’t mean you won’t be a stalker! Lord!”
“Stal…”
Lord Kaidel’s face twisted for the first time. I called him a pervert.
He bit his lips, looked at the tea cup on the table, and composed himself. I was unexpectedly scared by his unusual appearance.
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.
