“Walter said his sword skills are excellent. It would be nice if you had a chance to spar with him in the future.”
Recently, Raven seemed to be constantly preoccupied with thoughts of swordsmanship. It’s good to be diligent, but I wonder if he might overexert himself.
“But why did that woman leave so hastily earlier? The atmosphere didn’t seem normal.”
“I don’t know either. How was the atmosphere?”
“She seemed to have some urgent place to go. She left the palace riding with some of her subordinates. Judging by her change of clothes, it looked like she was heading quite far.”
It seemed to be an urgent matter to the extent that she had to change her dinner dress and ride a horse.
Charlotte, who had cleared her schedule for the evening dinner, heading urgently somewhere was undoubtedly not an ordinary occurrence.
The next morning, as the daylight broke, I could find out why Charlotte had behaved that way.
Cain succeeded in extracting her stepbrother, Vichen, from the hiding place.
⭐⭐⭐
It wasn’t solely Cain’s effort to sneak Vichen out of Charlotte’s stepbrother from the hideout.
While tracking Vichen’s movements according to my instructions, Cain, who happened to discover the hiding place, realized that he couldn’t rescue him with his power alone. He rushed to Walter for help.
“Hey, it was truly an incredible night. Just before moving the hideout, I had no choice but to launch a surprise attack! If you knew how many guys I took down, even the princess would be surprised.”
Listening to Walter’s verbose explanation inside the secret chamber of Rose Palace, I sighed.
He seemed to be in a triumphant state after having a proper battle for a long time.
“…Did you really have to call Walter? Cain. It seems like he’ll keep talking about this for a while.”
“Charlotte had deployed many skilled knights to the hideout. Although there are many skilled individuals in Ferdinand, I thought it was essential to handle it thoroughly since he is an important witness.”
“Where is Vichen now?”
“I’ve moved him to a safe place with Tian. It’s a place where he absolutely won’t be exposed.”
“I think I should meet Vichen in person.”
A few days later, I headed to a hut where Vichen had been hidden.
Despite its ordinary appearance, as soon as I passed through the door enchanted with magic, the surroundings transformed into a desolate prison.
“Are you Vichen? You don’t resemble Charlotte at all. It’s hard to believe you’re from the same family.”
“Release me. I need to go back to the hideout immediately!”
“You want to go back there? I thought you’d be happy to have escaped. Surprising.”
“You don’t understand! He’s so terrifying… I’d rather be with my sister for safety!”
“Ugh, too noisy.”
Using manipulation magic, I quieted down Vichen, who was shouting loudly, and began interrogating him.
“Who ordered you to assassinate me? What’s that person’s name?”
“Gallio… Gallio Turner.”
As expected.
Feeling the puzzle pieces fitting together, I asked him something else.
“Even after your attempt failed, another assassin came after me. Was that also Gallio’s doing?”
“I don’t know. I’ve been imprisoned by my sister for a long time.”
“The second assassin was a young woman. She was adept at disguises and had strange abilities different from magic. Do you have any suspicions?”
“Well, probably…”
Vichen began to unfold a story about a person among Charlotte’s confidants who possessed similar conditions.
Though no one has seen her face, I had glimpsed her as she had been by Charlotte’s side for a very long time, like a fleeting memory from childhood.
“The Repel family has employed generations of assassins. They possess strange abilities that work unless magic is involved. Whether that woman is the same person, I’m not sure, but it’s quite similar.”
Disguised as a maid, Lena infiltrated with the intention of killing Raven, not me.
Although she attempted to eliminate me once her identity was exposed, if I were the target, there would have been no need to aim for Raven first.
If Raven had died, suspicion would naturally fall on anyone new entering the palace.
“But now it’s almost certain that Charlotte was involved in the crime. Everything fits perfectly, indicating that it was not someone else but her.”
She is also my brother’s mother, so I tried to look at it favorably if possible. Still, trying to kill Raven was absolutely unacceptable.
“Cain, collaborate with Walter to gather information on the Turner and Repel families. I can’t just let this slide. Show them the true taste of bitterness.”
“Are you planning to clean up both families at this point? When did you grow this much? Sione must be really impressed.”
“Enough with the compliments. Walter, pay attention to keeping the secret. Baron Hufak was concerned. There seem to be some suspicious individuals in the knighthood.”
“Oh, really? I thought I was paying a lot of attention!”
Startled, Walter tore at his hair.
Since the knighthood deals with many secrets, it was necessary to focus on security. However, there seemed to be occasional interference.
“By the way, would it be alright if you didn’t meet Gallio in person? He’s a dangerous man, so I wouldn’t recommend getting too close.”
“Okay. What’s the point of seeing the face of that scoundrel? It’ll just ruin my mood for no reason.”
“That’s a wise thought. As he’s a prominent figure in the underworld, it’s best to be cautious. There’s no need to unnecessarily provoke him.”
Taking Walter’s advice positively, I continued my days receiving lessons as usual.
At first glance, there seemed to be no change, but slowly the situation was progressing.
Cain and Walter were diligently collecting documents related to the wrongdoings of the two families.
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.
