A faint breeze escaped from between the slightly parted lips of Cheshire.
How painful must it have been? What in the world had happened, and how?
There was so much I wanted to ask.
And yet, I couldn’t ask anything.
Back then, I, who hadn’t been able to do anything, had no right to mention the past.
Cheshire loosened his grip on the sword he had been gripping fiercely.
“What will you do going forward? If the pursuit intensifies, you can’t keep holding that woman.”
“It’s okay. That’s why I told you to hide the traces properly. More than anything, there’s no need to hold her for long.”
“If you’re going to handle it, I.”
“No. I won’t kill her.”
I’ll just use her. Thoroughly.
With her hands clasped on her belly, Liviana slightly lowered her eyes. The deep blue pupils visible beneath her lush eyelashes were as dark as the deep sea.
Cheshire, about to open his mouth again, hastily retreated at the noise from outside.
“They’re already here.”
“It’s not that I came first, but that you came late.”
Cheshire retorted gruffly and put his hand in his pocket, then grimaced. He regretted it.
But it was spilled milk. Even with the attention, habits were unavoidable. It often showed itself, acting brusquely to not be defeated by those who belittled him as a child when he was slightly off guard.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, neither Liviana nor Calix had any interest in Cheshire’s trivial habits.
Cheshire squinted his nostrils as he watched a man who was about to pass by him without a bow.
“Do you know that it’s intimidating when you look down at me with that big body?”
“……”
“Of course, the same goes when you look at me with those ugly eyes.”
“……”
“If my sister.”
“I have a separate conversation, so wait outside.”
Calix calmly stepped over Cheshire’s foot, which had hastily blocked his path, and stood in front of Liviana.
Thanks to him, the wrinkles on Cheshire’s nostrils deepened.
“Hurry.”
The added haste made the deep wrinkles appear shallow.
Cheshire pouted his lips dissatisfied but couldn’t say anything else.
Calix was different from him. He had the right to discuss the past. His mouth soured at the fact.
[This is the time separator]“Why did you let him go?”
“He seemed to have been interested in you for a while. It’s better to go back before we meet.”
“That’s unexpected. You.”
“Calix.”
“……”
“If you don’t like it, you can call me as you did before.”
Cal. Like this.
Did he know how strange it was to say such things?
Even though I frowned, Duke Pieren calmly dragged a chair and sat across from me.
I stared at such a man for a moment and opened my mouth again.
“Aren’t you his person?”
“I only joined hands out of necessity. The situation can change at any time. That’s why you were so eager to sacrifice yourself.”
“……”
“You’re worried even if you don’t say it. When will my dead brother return from the grave?”
“……”
“As long as there’s a card that can shake the imperial power.”
Is he talking about the real will of the late emperor that can shake the imperial power?
As I recalled the secret rumors that were subtly circulating, I involuntarily swallowed at the sight that met my eyes.
It was unexpected. Although they held hands, I didn’t expect Duke Pieren’s mouth to open so easily. And as if to reprimand such thoughts of mine, his lips moved again.
“You said you would trust me.”
“……”
“I don’t break promises.”
The man who realized my thoughts tilted his head. His expressionless face seemed indifferent.
But even amidst all this, Duke Pieren never took his eyes off me. The eyes seen between the long slit pupils persistently followed me.
With my hands clasped, I maintained silence for a moment.
Suddenly, I wanted to ask. How could he make up his mind so easily?
“I hope so. So, what happened to Bake?”
Of course, the words stuck in my throat and never came out.
Ignoring the quietly staring eyes, I just squeezed my unlucky hand.
“He’s moving quickly. If we don’t take proper measures, the woman’s location will soon be exposed.”
“When do you think he can find Margaret?”
“If he’s fast, in two days, and at the latest, the pursuit will end within a week.”
“That’s faster than I thought.”
“That’s why I deliberately left traces.”
He didn’t hide all the traces, because he had a target.
I took out a box I brought from the mansion and handed it to Duke Pieren.
Here is the translated novel passage as per your guidelines:
“This is the item I told you about last time. It will come in handy.”
“…….”
“Won’t you accept it?”
“……If things go as you wish, it would become irreversible. Everyone will be talking about your story.”
“Are you worrying about me?”
I laughed out of habit. His gaze made my face tingle, but it wasn’t enough to shake me.
“I am indeed worried. Since I agreed to take it.”
“…….”
“I said I would give you anything you want.”
The man’s hand suddenly stretched out and landed on the box.
I instinctively pulled back my body. It was due to the unexpected touch.
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.
