‘Nike, it’s certain. It’s Caleb’s wife’s daughter’s name. The situation is also clear.’
Brody nodded her head as she pondered the original content.
Though it was a ceasefire, in reality, the North had won, so the major flow of the original work changed.
However, what happened to Caleb seemed to remain the same.
The ruling family in this region was still the Northern Duke’s family, not the imperial family. Therefore, the one inspecting was the Northern Duke, not the empress.
Brody felt irony in the situation.
In the original work, the one who treated Caleb’s madness was none other than ‘Brody, the plant mage.’
Of course, it was because of the empress’s orders, and it was an action driven by embarrassment and sorrow after failing to kill her and deciding to eat mustard.
“Well, that means I can cure her.”
Brody looked down at Caleb’s wife, who had fallen into a deep sleep due to the dream herb.
The madness was more terrifying than when she read it in print, and her distress was difficult to express in words.
Honestly, it was hard not to feel sorry for her life.
“If I pretend not to know… she won’t be able to meet her daughter again. And she might come back to her senses…”
Given the situation, how could she pretend not to know?
She pondered, but in the end, Brody decided to treat Caleb.
“But why did she attack River? Was it because her mind was not sound, and it was difficult to distinguish between the Northern Army and the Imperial Army? And why is she here? This village wasn’t in the original novel.”
Attacking someone who could be considered a chief of staff was quite a serious offense.
Although Idan temporarily gave in to Brody’s request, continuing to hide that River was hurt from people was unrealistic.
Above all, the problem would be solved once River woke up.
“Actually, it’s a grateful thing. That they allowed me a respite in this situation.”
Brody pondered, touching the vial in her pocket.
“The fact that the Count trusts and likes me… even though he has feelings, he’s pushing me away.”
Worrying about Brody, pushing her away after approaching, and then withdrawing when coming closer, he seemed to be in a dizzying state.
“A person so firm in other matters can’t seem to grasp his feelings in my case…”
Brody sighed deeply. It felt uncomfortable because she seemed to be feeling guilty for doing something she shouldn’t have.
“What’s wrong? What’s weird?”
At that moment, the sense of impending something that Brody felt suddenly dissipated with the sound of a knock.
“Madam, it’s me. May I come in?”
It was a familiar voice, but she was puzzled. Why did he come?
“Uh, yes. Come in.”
Though sudden, there was no reason to deny him, so Brody allowed him in.
As she replied, a young man with short brown hair opened the door and peered in.
It was Teddy, who brightly smiled after glancing at the inside of the room.
“What’s happening here?”
Brody greeted him at the door.
Teddy, after briefly glimpsing inside Brody’s room, scratched his head and said,
“Yeah, that’s right. The Duke just… told me to go and listen to what the Madam says?”
“…”
It seemed that Idan, worried about Brody, sent Teddy, probably because he felt uneasy leaving Brody alone with River and the assassin(?).
‘How can I explain this situation? Oh, my head.’
Brody, with a troubled expression, hesitated for a moment.
‘No choice. I have to use ‘that method.”
Brody made up her mind and invited Teddy inside.
And she said to him,
“Then will you help me a bit, Subald?”
“Subal? Who’s hu… Hiek! Chief of Staff! Where on earth did he go…?”
In his surprised tone, Brody showed him her index finger in front of her mouth.
“It’s a top-secret matter, so just quietly follow Teddy. Detailed explanations will be given later by the Duke.”
“Oh, sure! I’ll follow without asking or probing!”
With his refreshing reply, Brody grinned.
That way, she avoided the situation by passing it over to Idan.
“But, madam.”
“Yes?”
Hmm, he said he wouldn’t ask or probe, but still Teddy. Can’t he hold back his curiosity? As he seemed to be about to ask a question, Brody, despite the pounding in her head, answered calmly as if nothing happened.
“Where are you injured, madam? I noticed something was wrong with the Duke’s expression, so I wondered what happened to you…”
“…”
Yes, I got hurt. Although your Duke licked me and made me better, it happened.
While silently responding inside, Teddy continued.
“Well, I initially expected a hangover.”
Ding. Brody felt like she was hit on the head with his words.
A hangover? Why? Why would you make such a guess?!
‘Did I get drunk in front of the people in the town yesterday? Is that what happened?’
Realizing that Teddy knew, Brody wiped cold sweat inwardly.
‘Ah, it seems that’s what Connie said. Whew…’
But it was too early to be relieved.
“And… Many people saw the legend in the potato field yesterday.”
Dong. Brody felt like her heart fell into her stomach. Without doing so, it was impossible to feel this way, as if all the blood was draining from her body.
To make matters worse, Teddy blushed uncomfortably.
“The legend in the potato field… What’s that?”
“Oh, that… Well… Uh, haha. It’s about how close the Duke and Duchess are… You know, that kind of thing.”
It was clear. If she looked down at her feet right now, she might confirm that her heart was rolling beneath her.
Brody managed to maintain her composure and answered as if nothing was wrong.
“Yesterday, I got drunk… It’s embarrassing.”
“No, no! I mean…! What I mean is…! It was so beautiful. I’ll pray for a hundred years of happiness for you two.”
Brody smiled faintly.
But in her heart, she was already kicking the blanket a million times.
‘Was such a sight shown to people? Argh. I want to die.’
Returning to the room in the evening, Idan was surprised.
Brody was lying face down on the bed with her face buried.
The blanket was messed up as if she had tossed and turned.
Worried about what might have happened, Idan hesitated whether to start a conversation or not. Considering that they hadn’t exchanged a word since their argument during the day, he wasn’t sure if she would speak first.
Fortunately, Brody, who had been lying silently on the pillow, initiated the conversation.
Although he thought she would remain silent, Idan felt somewhat relieved when she spoke.
“Did you know?”
Dash> Before she shot the question like an arrow, that is.
“What… do you mean?”
“What else… Yesterday…”
Idan furrowed his brow. Yesterday?
If it’s yesterday… many things happened. What is she talking about?
The kiss in the potato field? The ultimatum to River to treat her well? Throwing up and discarding all her clothes? Or maybe…?
As Idan was recalling each of Brody’s actions from the previous night, she suddenly sat up and stared at him.
Her expression as she looked at him seemed troubled.
“No way… Do you remember?”
Idan asked in confusion.
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.
