Jamie came looking for Lissie when Kevrant had been away from the mansion for two days.
Lissie, who had been dirty from straw and dirt since the morning at the unicorn barn, was just about to change her clothes.
Jamie, who had been waiting in front of the room, smiled faintly at Lissie’s clothes.
“Childcare is not a normal job, right?”
“Indeed. Although I can hardly call it childcare since I haven’t even touched the child.”
“Don’t push yourself because it’s dangerous. Ah, a guest has arrived.”
“A guest? For me?”
“The Witlow family.”
“Ah.”
She felt like she was hit on the back of her head.
Not because it was unexpected, but because they acted as she had predicted.
As soon as the invitation was issued, she sent it first to Brittany.
It seemed better to bring Brittany in advance, kill her momentum, and prevent her from doing anything on the wedding day, rather than coming one or two days before the wedding and taking unexpected actions.
But at the same time,
‘She may come in time for the wedding. She may have disconnected from me, who has already left the house.’
She harbored such expectations.
As expected, it was a vain expectation.
“Where are they?”
“They’re still at the main gate. I don’t remember inviting them.”
Jamie responded indifferently.
After all, the Witlow family was Lissie’s birth family.
But to have them wait outside.
‘Come to think of it, from the beginning…..’
There was a peculiar thorn in Jamie’s tone announcing their visit.
Maybe Jamie knew how Lissie was treated in that house.
“What should we do, Lady Iris?”
Kevrant was not in the mansion. The decision power was with Lissie.
“I’m extremely busy today, tell them to come again tomorrow.”
Jamie, seeming as if he had expected this, slightly bowed his head and left the room.
When she turned around with a sigh, she saw Christina and Erwell looking perplexed.
They seemed to be taken aback by Lissie’s cold dismissal of her visiting family.
Lissie smiled gently and said.
“They were not good people.”
The bewilderment disappeared from Christina and Erwell’s faces. Instead, a resolution for something unknown settled in their eyes.
As Lissie was walking back into the room, a small whisper reached her.
“They are bad people, aren’t they?”
It sounded like Erwell’s voice, but Lissie decided she had misheard.

“What on earth happened?”
Globen, the Duke of Witlow, bulged his eyes.
It was boiling inside to have them wait outside without even letting their carriage into the mansion grounds, but he endured.
But to come again tomorrow because she was busy.
Of course, the date written on the invitation was still far away, so if she was the owner of the mansion, it could be.
But Iris should not have done that. She absolutely should not have.
“Did Iris say that?”
“Yes, my lord. The Countess is extremely busy today and does not have time to greet guests.”
Jamie answered with a faint smile on his face.
“That can’t be. Did you exactly convey that we are the visitors?”
Duchess Denis Witlow asked with glaring eyes.
“I precisely conveyed that Duke Witlow, Duchess Witlow, and Brittany are visiting.”
“And she said she was busy?”
“Yes, Duchess.”
“That’s impossible! She wouldn’t do that.”
“Is that so? Why wouldn’t she?”
“What…?”
“Lady Lissie is now the lady of the Green Count’s house. The lady is very busy managing the house. Isn’t that natural?”
Jamie was not wrong.
Lissie was now not the daughter of Duke Witlow, but the lady of the Green Count’s house.
But even so.
“I’m her father. No matter how busy she is, when does she dismiss a visitor like this?”
“Perhaps when the visit is too early, without notice, ahead of the invited date.”
Jamie responded calmly.
Globen was boiling with anger.
Daringly, from the Count’s dog of sorts.
But he couldn’t mess with Jamie, a knight of the sky. Even Globen knew the extent of Jamie’s fame.
“If Iris is busy, I don’t need to see her face right away. At least give us a guest room.”
“That too is difficult, my lord. The guest rooms are not ready.”
“How can that be! What kind of house doesn’t even have a guest room ready?”
“As you know, the Earl of Green, the Guardian of the Holy Relic, is terribly busy and doesn’t have many opportunities to host guests. Isn’t it natural that there’s no room prepared for sudden visitors?”
Kevrant knew Jamie was lying, but he couldn’t point it out.
He didn’t even want to plead for a room that didn’t exist.
“Let’s talk to Iris again. If she knows we’re here, surely…”
“Stop.”
Kevrant cut off Dennis’s words. Dennis glared at Kevrant as if to ask why he was doing so.
“We don’t only have here to stay. Iris is busy today, so let’s come back tomorrow.”
“But darling, we can’t just sleep anywhere. Besides, Iris, she’s so rude…”
“Darling!”
Kevrant didn’t want to talk about Iris in front of Jamie. Dennis seemed to regret his words and kept quiet.
As soon as they got into the carriage, Brittany asked as if she was rushing.
“Dad, isn’t she crazy? She says she’s busy and won’t even let us in?”
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.
