“This is an item that Duke Libertan gave to me. It was very hard to keep it safe in this dangerous place.”
I picked up the notebook as slowly as I could and pretended to check.
It’s real anyway, so what.
“Have you finished checking now? We don’t have much time. We must escape as soon as possible!”
“I understand that you are really the person my father sent. But…”
I asked him, pretending to be wavering.
“I just can’t understand why my parents want to sneak me out.”
“I’ll explain it to you calmly once we leave this mansion. For now, escaping is our priority.”
“This marriage is something my father ordered me to respect. I can’t just move impulsively without even hearing an explanation.”
Anton’s face distorted greatly.
“Ah… really.”
“I understand your frustration, but if I run away from here, the Libertan Dukedom might be misunderstood among the nobles.”
I replied, meekly lowering my eyes.
At this, Anton thumped his chest as if he were frustrated. Looking at his reaction, he didn’t seem to be a very patient person.
‘How much time can I buy?’
If I hold on, will someone come to rescue me?
‘Johan.’
The man who put me in danger, yet his face came to my mind. The man who said he would protect me, take responsibility for me.
‘Didn’t you think it was worth bringing me even at such a cost?’
This is probably the value Johan was talking about. So this situation, Johan made it to torment me.
With fear, I felt an inexplicable sense of betrayal rising in my heart.
In the end, it was as the original story said.
If it weren’t for Johan’s implicit consent, the spy wouldn’t have been able to come this far. For a moment, I saw the red mark he had left on my wrist.
Strangely enough, I had the irrational thought that this red mark would protect me.
“Right now, being misunderstood among the nobles isn’t the important issue.”
“Then what is?”
“That is…”
It seemed that Anton was about to bring up the topic of ‘treason’.
But it seemed he was conflicted about whether bringing up that topic might make me uncooperative in escaping.
Sorry, but I’m not going to run either way.
“Your marriage is already meaningless. Because Duke Blanchet is the culprit who has framed the Libertan Dukedom with debt.”
“……Is that so.”
“You are not safe. Duke Blanchet is the perpetrator of the murders that have been occurring. If you stay like this, you’ll be killed too.”
Fortunately, this is a story I know.
Johan, the villain, brutally killed all the enemies who had mercilessly killed his young sister and parents. He even went so far as to display the bodies as a warning.
‘What should I call this… A trash who knows how to discern?’
The only one among those he avenged who did not commit a sin was me.
That was the most regrettable.
‘Someday, I will be murdered by Johan.’
Johan will not cease his hatred for the Libertan Duke, no matter what I do.
But the man who was excitedly brandishing a dagger was an immediate danger to me. He was the type to cause harm and not spare a thought about it if I said anything that upset him even a little.
“Do you understand the situation you’re in now, miss?”
“I understand.”
At that moment, I felt a strange vibration on the floor I was standing on.
“So, you’re saying that Duke Blanchett is the one who indebted our family.”
“That’s right.”
“And he’s also the culprit behind the murders that have been occurring around the capital.”
I could hear people moving. The likelihood of Johan being nearby increased.
‘Good.’
If Johan was nearby, there was a gamble worth trying.
‘The dagger is scary, but……’
The blade in Anton’s hand gleamed ominously.
But if Johan came in at the right time, I would be safe.
Even if I got hurt, I would only have to endure a bit of pain to get a chance to make a good impression on the villain.
“But still, I won’t follow you.”
“…You’re not going to follow?”
“I’ll have a conversation and verify that with my husband, the Duke.”
The look in Anton’s eyes changed dramatically.
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.
