Someone had intercepted the Duke’s letter midway, confirming its contents first.
Was there a tense situation going on?
Knowing that there is someone monitoring in the middle, yet sending a letter like this.
‘I wonder what’s going on.’
In the Duke’s mind, Rose’s face briefly flashed by. Somehow, it seemed like Viscount Sevriat’s reason for sending the letter was related to Rose.
With a stern face, he opened the letter. The contents of the letter were very plain.
Although short, one bold sentence captivated the Duke’s attention.
“…Can you let Rose stay here for a while?”
It was not the worrying matter he had expected, and unexpectedly, the Duke chuckled at the unusual request.
‘Why… would she make such a request?’
He looked bewildered as he gazed down at the letter. Then, he recalled Rose’s face.
The shyly blushing face looking at him.
Recalling her smile, the Duke, now smiling himself, seemed to understand everything.
‘It seems like she made the request herself.’
Yeah, she probably wanted to stay with him, so she asked her father like this.
Viscount Sevriat must have sent such a letter to yield to his daughter’s request.
Duke Artem, misunderstanding everything, laughed heartily.
“Really, she’s quite an assertive woman.”
Even though he disliked Rose’s efforts to get closer to him, he didn’t mind it.
The Duke, unaware that it was all his misunderstanding, continued to laugh meaninglessly.
Nervan, seeing this unfamiliar side of the Duke, looked puzzled.
‘Why is he suddenly making such a face?’
Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked the Duke.
“Do you have good news?”
“Well, it’s not exactly good news.”
The Duke’s ambiguous response left Nervan even more confused.
Duke Artem folded the letter in half and looked at Nervan. Then, with a more serious expression, he instructed him.
“We need to prepare to welcome guests.”
“Is Viscount Sevriat coming?”
“No.”
Slowly rising from his chair, the Duke seemed oddly excited.
“We’re going to welcome the Viscount’s wife.”
“…”
When talking about Rose, Nervan’s face subtly stiffened.
“…Shall I send a carriage to the Viscount’s residence?”
“There’s something to do before that.”
Ignoring Nervan’s unwilling expression, the Duke spoke slowly.
“Prepare a room for her.”
“What?”
“Tidy it up neatly so that a lady can stay.”
Although Nervan’s expression showed reluctance, he followed the Duke’s order without saying anything. He instructed the maids to clean up an empty room.
Suddenly, a room that had nothing in it was filled with a large bed, a wardrobe, and even a table for tea.
The empty room was swiftly organized. The Duke inspected the room prepared for Rose, and then immediately sent a carriage to the Sevriat mansion.
Before half a day had passed since the letter arrived, all preparations were complete.
Duke Artem, checking the ticking clock incessantly, couldn’t focus on his work.
Duke Artem, who had been sitting, suddenly rose from his seat. Then, he wandered by the window.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
The only sound echoing in the room was the ticking of the clock. The Duke, without saying a word, gazed out of the window.
After some time, a black carriage, which he had been eagerly waiting for, came into Duke Artem’s view.
It was the carriage he had sent for Rose.
“She’s here.”
As soon as he saw the carriage, his expression brightened. His eyes, which had casually been firm, slightly softened. The corners of his mouth also seemed to lift, giving the impression that he was in a good mood.
Duke Artem headed straight for the door. He was going out to welcome Rose, who had arrived at his mansion.
As the Duke left, Nervan followed him, his long hair fluttering behind him.
They hurriedly headed to the garden. The carriage’s door was already wide open.
When Duke Artem saw the pastel-pink hair, his heart oddly thumped. He looked at her with a face full of memories.
The woman, who was brushing her fluttering hair behind her ear, seemed to sense his gaze and turned around to smile at the Duke.
“Long time no see, Duke Artem.”
It wasn’t Rose. It was her mother, Libera.
Beside Viscount Sevriat’s wife, Viscount Sevriat himself was also present.
Artem’s expression, which had been excitedly heading towards the garden, stiffened slightly. He turned his head around as if looking for someone.
‘Could it be she didn’t come?’
Rose was not there.
After asking for Rose’s presence, only the Viscount couple visited.
Duke Artem couldn’t hide the puzzled look in his eyes. He stared at the Viscount couple with a frozen expression.
“Nice to see you again, Viscountess Sevriat.”
After briefly exchanging greetings with Libera, the one who greeted him first, Artem looked at Demon.
Although he wanted to ask where Rose was, the words didn’t come out easily. He only mumbled his lips for a moment and eventually closed his mouth.
Then, the Duke’s ears were filled with the laughter of a clear-voiced woman.
“Ahaha! It tickles!”
As soon as the high-pitched voice was heard, both the Duke and Nervan turned their heads simultaneously.
On one side of the garden, there was Pin, swaying his tail, and a woman sitting next to him.
It was Rose.
Rose was spending time with Pin, looking as cheerful as a child. Pin playfully brushed his furry body against Rose and licked her face.
Maybe feeling the gaze on her, Rose, who had been petting Pin, turned her head towards the Duke and smiled.
“Hello, Your Grace.”
Rose, who had been sitting, slowly stood up and smiled at the Duke.
“You’re here.”
The Duke’s stiff expression softened. He couldn’t hide the blossoming smile, and with warm eyes, he looked at Rose.
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.
