Britney could not believe what was unfolding before her eyes.
‘This must be a dream. Yes, this has to be a dream. There’s no way that Duke Green would propose to that pitiful girl in reality! Moreover… there’s no way that stupid girl would accept the proposal so confidently.’
Even with Kevrant’s sudden proposal, Iris did not seem flustered.
She was staring at Kevrant’s head with arrogant eyes as if she knew this would happen.
“Lift your head, Duke.”
“Until Lady Iris accepts my proposal, my head will stay in this position.”
“And if I don’t accept, you will stay like that forever?”
“I would probably turn into a statue in this position.”
A faint smile formed at the corners of Iris’s mouth.
‘What is he doing? In front of everyone? Why is he like this!’
Britney’s insides were boiling.
She was supposed to be in Iris’s place.
Why was that girl exchanging pleasantries with Kevrant in her place?
“Duke Green is insisting…”
Iris’s purple eyes slowly moved towards Globurn.
“What should I do, Father?”
Britney quickly turned her head to look at Globurn as well.
Britney had no doubt that Globurn would get angry and chase Iris away.
“Hmm, hmm. Well… hmmm. If Duke Green likes you so much, why not accept him?”
“What the…!”
Britney abruptly stood up.
Globurn grabbed Britney’s wrist and sent her a stern glance.
“You should leave now, Britney.”
“But Father, I…”
I, what should I say next?
I don’t want to give the man I wanted, the man everyone covets, to Iris?
I want to marry that man?
Iris suits to marry someone greasy and old like Alford?
She was able to avoid making a fool of herself in front of Kevrant with the last shred of her sanity.
“Britney, leave now.”
Globurn spoke firmly.
Britney shot Globurn an incredulous look, but Globurn avoided Britney’s gaze.
Britney bit her lower lip hard.
There was nothing Britney could do if she stayed here.
As Britney quickly left the room, she brushed past Kevrant and spoke.
“You will regret this, Duke Green.”
“I don’t think so.”
“Hmph.”
After Britney left, Globurn spoke.
“Duke Green. I give my consent for your marriage to Iris, please sit down.”
“I have not yet heard Lady Iris’s answer.”
“Iris, what are you doing, answer quickly.”
“Yes, Father. Duke Green, I accept your proposal.”
Only then did Kevrant straighten his waist.
“Iris, I have a long conversation to have with the Duke, so you should go.”
Globurn spoke kindly.
“No, Duke. I want to be with Lady Iris.”
Kevrant objected.
“Excuse me?”
“We are a couple who will share everything from now on, we should start sharing from now on.”
“Ah…”
Globurn was flustered.
Could the man in front of him really be that Kevrant Green Duke?
The Kevrant Green Duke that Globurn knew was not a kind man to women.
“Will you be with me, Lady Iris?”
At Kevrant’s request, Iris nodded slightly.
When Kevrant lifted his arm towards Iris, she gently rested her hand on his.
They sat side by side on the sofa as if they had been in a long relationship.
“Let’s talk about the gold mine now, Duke.”
Globurn, who had been watching Kevrant with suspicious eyes, changed his expression at the mention of the gold mine.
Yes, the gold mine.
As long as he could get that, it didn’t matter what state Kevrant was in.
“Sign this contract and the gold mine will be yours, Duke Globurn.”
Kevrant unfolded the document.
“And Lady Iris here will be mine.”
“Yyes.”
As Globurn hurriedly picked up a pen and tried to pull the document towards him, Kevrant subtly pulled the document back.
“I will return to my territory with Lady Iris today.”
“What? Right now?”
“Yes.”
“But we have to prepare for the wedding… and we have a lot to teach our Iris…”
“I’m worried that you, Duke, might change your mind and refuse to give me your daughter since Lady Iris is much more beautiful and refined than I thought.”
“No, that will never happen. I’m not a person who speaks with two tongues, Duke.”
“And holding hands like this…”
Kevrant gently laid his hand over Iris’s arm.
“I don’t want to let go. I’ll take you with me, Duke.”
Globan’s eyes wavered.
He had planned to send Iris to Alford today.
Although he still wanted to seat Brittany in the Countess of Green’s position.
‘No, it doesn’t matter if Iris is sent. She will obediently listen to me, and since the Earl of Green is so into her, it can be well used.’
Globan nodded his head.
“Okay, then do so.”

On his way to meet the flower of the Earl of Witlo, Iris, Alford was attacked by suspicious people wearing masks.
Being cowardly, Alford usually hired strong mercenaries for a hefty price.
He had hired all the mercenaries considered topnotch in the guild, but they couldn’t withstand the three masked individuals.
Alford, who had been trapped in the carriage for hours, sneaked a peek outside through the small window of the carriage.
There were two masked individuals, but now one more was added.
“Are you done?”
Listening carefully, he could hear their conversation.
“Yes. Let go.”
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.
