Randy quietly caught Lishi’s gaze.
Upon seeing Lishi, she almost burst into tears, but managed to hold back.
With silver hair tinged with a light pink hue, delicate eyebrows, large eyes, a perfect nose, and lips that seemed to emit a sweet fragrance.
Nothing had changed about Lishi since then.
During her childhood, the girl he had loved so dearly and continued to love had not changed a bit.
“No, has she changed a bit?”
When he was in the Caebrant Duchy, Lishi seemed like a fragile flower that could break at any moment.
She always hunched her shoulders, bowed her head, and made an effort not to be noticed by anyone.
But now, standing beside Kei, Lishi had become a woman who perfectly suited the title of “Viscountess.”
Straight shoulders and waist, a confidently held face, and eyes that shone with a somewhat arrogant light.
“You’re fortunate, Lady Iris.”
Randy sincerely thought so.
“Indeed fortunate.”
He had made up his mind throughout the journey to the Green Mansion.
He wouldn’t reveal himself, even if Lishi recognized him.
He wouldn’t be disappointed even if Lishi didn’t recognize him.
He wouldn’t reminisce about the past from Lishi’s appearance.
The boy from the past was dead, and now he was just a man reborn with the name Randy.
No matter how many times he resolved, the moment he saw Lishi, his determination crumbled.
Memories from over a decade ago.
He was irresistibly drawn into that time of bittersweetness, and happiness because of Iris’s presence.
The Whitten family had been a knightly family serving the Caebrant Duchy for generations.
Recognized for their contributions to the Whitten family while serving the Caebrant family since the great-grandfather’s time, in the father’s generation, they were able to live in a building on the ducal mansion grounds.
Raford’s father was the deputy commander of the Pibet Knights, one of the several knightly orders serving the Caebrant Duchy.
Raford was extremely proud of such a father.
The building for the knights was located far away from the main mansion.
Although his father visited the main building frequently, Raford had not seen the Caebrant family for a while even after moving to the Caebrant Duchy.
“Young master is about the same age as Miss Brittany, so if Miss Brittany likes him, they could be good playmates.”
The maids in the knights’ residence always talked only about Brittany.
Raford had heard from his father, Whitten Kyung, that the Caebrant family had two daughters.
“Miss Brittany is really pretty. You shouldn’t fall for her. The duke will scold you severely.”
“There won’t be such a thing.”
“Well, our Miss Brittany is still young, but there are already suitors interested in her from various places.”
“What about Lady Iris?”
When he asked about something he had been curious about, the maid closed her mouth.
The maid who was excitedly gossiping about Brittany suddenly froze strangely.
“Well, cleaning is done. Is there anything else to wash?”
The maid turned her words so sharply that it was noticeable.
Although the maid’s attitude was odd, since Raford wasn’t particularly interested in Iris, the day passed like that.
After spending several months at the Duke’s mansion, a messenger came from the main building.
Raford followed the messenger to the reception room.
After sitting there for a while, the reception room door opened, and a girl entered.
With luxuriant blonde hair spread out, wearing a delicate pink dress, she was a doll-like beautiful girl.
“Raford Whitten?”
The girl spoke as if birds were chirping.
Even though the girl didn’t introduce herself, Raford could figure out who she was.
He quickly stood up from the sofa, bowed his head slightly, and gestured to her.
“I am Raford Whitten.”
“Nice to meet you. I’m Brittany Whitley.”
“Nice to meet you, Lady.”
“Lady… Just call me Brittany. You can also call me Bryn.”
“How dare I…”
“I allowed it. You can call me Bryn.”
“Yes, Lady Bryn.”
Brittany giggled and sat down on the sofa, motioning for Raford to sit as well.
“I wanted to see how much praise Whitten Kyung’s son receives. I’ve been curious.”
Raford blushed.
He never dreamed that his father, who was always stoic, would praise his son elsewhere.
“Your hair color is really pretty.”
“Thank you.”
“Did you live near here before coming to the mansion? How was living in the city? I still haven’t had my debutante ball, so I can’t go out alone. I have to go with my parents wherever I go, and it’s annoying.”
Brittany chattered away without giving Raford a chance to respond.
He thought she was a lady with a nice and cheerful personality.
They chatted for about an hour.
As they left the reception room together, Brittany said, “Let’s meet again tomorrow. I’ll give you delicious chocolate. Have you ever tried chocolate with cream inside?”
Chocolate was a precious treat.
Moreover, chocolate with cream inside.
He couldn’t even imagine what it was like.
Being a young boy of only ten, Raford couldn’t help but be excited about enjoying delicious chocolate with a lovely lady.
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.
