“Because of me?”
When I asked in confusion, Mikhail nodded with a stern face.
“But I wasn’t even there.”
If there were signs of madness, at least someone should have whispered, ‘Kashaar, you fool,’ right there.
But I was completely off track.
“That’s the problem. The first signs of madness appeared right after you disappeared, Eileen.”
After conversing with Mikhail, Kashaar came straight to the courtyard to find me.
As soon as he confirmed that I wasn’t in the courtyard, he ordered Mikhail.
It took less than 10 minutes for Mikhail to search the entire castle with magic.
“You didn’t seem abrupt at all. Not in the sponsor’s place, not in the bathroom, not even in Eileen’s room.”
But I couldn’t find myself anywhere.
‘Because I was in the magic shop.’
It was like a magical space. Since it was across the door, if we were to argue, the castle was empty.
‘But how do I explain this?’
If I say I’m actually a spirit and a crazy teddy bear opened the door to a magical space for me!
If I say this…
‘Wouldn’t they suspect that there’s something wrong with me?’
It seemed more credible to say that I have a hobby of sleeping in the closet than to explain one by one to make it look normal.
Instead of answering, I asked something else.
“…What does it mean that the medicine doesn’t work? And that he stopped taking it.”
I didn’t even know the fact that he stopped taking it, looking at him seeming perfectly fine.
“It’s been happening since before Eileen came to the castle. Instead of medicine, he has been eating the food made by Eileen herself.”
“My food?”
This was an unheard-of fact.
I knew that his taste was coming back through my food.
But it was the first time I heard that it was affecting his madness.
“Was there any effect?”
“Yes. More than the fruit.”
Mikhail smiled faintly.
“More than that, I thought Eileen herself might be a cure for madness.”
Even without taking the fruit, the signs of madness were subsiding.
Moreover, the side effects left by the fruit were not treatable.
Only one person was solving that.
“He took the fruit again just before the madness erupted, but it didn’t work.”
Kashaar’s body responded as if it were tamed only to me.
Suddenly, I remembered his words that he thought I had left.
‘Could it be that he thought I left?’
If so, what did it mean that he was still pretending even now?
It was only for a moment, but Kashaar seemed to know that I was hiding something.
“Maddening speed varies depending on the mental state of the subject. The sudden worsening of symptoms… it was probably because Eileen disappeared and he was anxious.”
Madness accelerates when the mind is unstable.
Having finished speaking, Mikhail placed water and snacks at the bedside.
“So please stay by his side. You are the only one for the master. I will withdraw for now.”
As Mikhail left, the room fell into silence.
I was still in a daze.
It felt like I heard everything he hadn’t told me from Mikhail.
‘Why didn’t he tell me in advance?’
Or how much does he know about me?
Various questions tangled up in my head.
‘But one thing is clear.’
I could be his cure for madness, but I could also worsen his condition.
‘Because it’s not an instant cure.’
Now that the fruit no longer has an effect.
If the reason for the outbreak of madness was because of me, it was undoubtedly dangerous.
He became like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
In that case, wouldn’t it be better to uproot it all at once?
‘Shouldn’t I contact the temple about this?’
I was worried that I might face problems due to the bursting of the donation account.
While thinking about it, the words of the black rabbit came to my mind.
[Make the supporting character fall for the protagonist as it originally was.]The black rabbit knew something.
‘Is the original story going to return?’
Where is the law that says that?
If it returns to the past, Kashaar would not fulfill his love, and his fate would be to be beheaded on the battlefield.
‘That’s absurd. It doesn’t make sense.’
That rabbit, let’s meet again.
While I was silently vowing revenge, Kashaar was exhaling a steady breath.
Three days later in the morning.
Kashaar was the first to open his eyes.
He regained consciousness the morning after he burst into madness, and there were no strange symptoms afterward.
Anyway, as long as I was by his side, nothing unusual seemed to happen.
But there was a separate problem.
“Open your mouth.”
A fork with a piece of steak impaled on it was thrust into my mouth.
Hesitating, I accepted it just before the juice fell onto the seat.
“Is it delicious?”
“…Yes.”
After chewing and swallowing, this time it was a salad.
When I didn’t open my mouth, the fork stopped in midair.
“Kashaar should eat too.”
“I find this more interesting.”
It seemed like he found joy in feeding me.
I reluctantly accepted the salad, and the satisfied utensils left.
‘It seems to have worsened compared to before.’
Although he didn’t confine me like in the original, it wasn’t much different.
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.
