“Aileen, I’ve washed up!”
Louis ran over and hugged me tightly.
I carefully shook out his wet hair.
“Oh dear, how adorable, our Lord Louis.”
“I’m a child now too!”
His words, hands on hips, were quite confident.
‘He’s cute no matter what he does.’
I said, kissing his soft cheek.
“There’s a party at another palace in two weeks. The princes have been invited, too. What do you think?”
The host of the Ollozé party was the Countess, but she had been renting the Empress’s banquet hall for several years.
Louis’s eyes sparkled at the mere fact that he had been invited without even knowing what kind of party it was.
“Really? Evan and I can go to such a place?”
“Of course.”
“Yeah! I definitely want to go!”
My heart sank at his excited voice.
‘He must have been happy in the original as well?’
Not knowing what would happen there.
After Evan was injured at the Ollozé party, the two children were forcibly taken to various parties and suffered all kinds of humiliation.
It all happened with the tacit consent of the Empress, contributing to the children’s hatred of people.
‘But this time will be different.’
Kashar will protect the children.
I asked, stroking Louis’s hair.
“Do you like it here, Lord Louis?”
“Eh? Our home?”
“Yes. Our home.”
Louis’s eyes widened.
Contrary to my expectation that he would hesitate, the child smiled broadly.
“Yeah, it’s where I used to live with Mom!”
“Do you remember Rosalie?”
Maid Rosalie was the twins’ mother.
At the longunheard name of his mother, Louis nodded right away.
“Of course! This is a secret….”
Louis’s voice lowered as he headed into a corner.
A moment later, a glass bottle was in his hand.
“This is grape juice Mom used to make for us. We can’t drink it now. But Evan and I have kept it precious.”
In the glass bottle, a liquid swirled, its color not purple but black from age.
The longoverdue grape juice had become a memento of remembering their mother.
‘Showing this means.’
It was as good as saying he trusted me.
Rosalie was a part I had overlooked.
Looking at Louis, holding the drink that had become not wine but a rotten beverage, and smiling, I felt sour.
‘Why did I think he would naturally hate this place?’
At least to the children, it was a precious home that honored the memory of their late mother.
“I remember this, too. Mom always said to live cheerfully. Then love will return someday.”
At Louis’s words, something welled up inside me.
When I nodded silently, Louis tightly grabbed my hands.
“Did she say that?”
“Yeah, Mom was right. Aileen loves me too. I’m really glad I didn’t give up.”
I felt like crying at his sunshinelike smile.
I was about to hug Louis tightly, unable to hold back.
“Mother was wrong.”
It was Evan.
“What are you talking about?”
When Louis cocked his head, Evan snorted.
The child’s expression was extremely cold.
“Literally. It means no matter how hard you try, it won’t change.”
“But Aileen changed.”
“Do you really believe that?”
A hostile gaze swept past Louis and poured onto me.
‘Why all of a sudden?’
I thought we were a little closer.
‘I thought everything would be fine if I persuaded him well about the guardian and moving.’
It was all my misjudgment.
“Why doesn’t Evan believe?”
Louis asked, as if he couldn’t understand.
Sarcasm flashed across Evan’s face.
“Because she’s trying to leave us with someone else.”
He heard it.
I sensed that Evan knew everything.
“Us? To whom? Aileen, I don’t understand what Evan is saying at all.”
Louis tugged at my sleeve and asked.
I was momentarily at a loss for words and didn’t respond immediately.
“You misunderstand.”
Evan thought that I wanted Kashar to get rid of them.
“Evan, wait a moment!”
“Leave our room.”
“Evan, it hurts!”
Evan pulled Louis behind him and hid him.
The child’s expression was so cold, as if not even a needle could enter.
“If you don’t leave, we will.”
“I’ll go. Where are you going in the middle of the night?”
Attempting to talk now had the opposite effect.
I retreated to the corridor before Evan.
“……Sweet dreams, Louis. Evan.”
Bang!
With the goodnight greeting, the door closed.
The corridor was dark.
I stood for a while before returning to Aileen’s room.
‘I didn’t know Evan would be hurt.’
I expected him to dislike Kashar, but I never dreamed that this misunderstanding would arise.
‘Did I act too hastily?’
The cold gaze weighed on my mind, and I didn’t feel good.
But at that time, this was the only way.
On the table, there was one more late invitation.
It was sent to me by the Countess, and this was also different from the original work.
‘Aileen only sent the children.’
Even though she could have gone with them as a nanny, she hid herself alone, perhaps fearing disapproval.
The fact that she sent my invitation as well made me feel that the Empress had made up her mind.
“I need to prepare the things for the auction first.”
The highlight of the Olloje Party was the charity auction.
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.
