Eldarion Kindergarten’s faculty room.
After quietly closing the door behind her, Emily occasionally headed towards the backyard with light steps. Once she confirmed that no one was around, she suddenly twirled on her toes, swinging her arms through the air, and began laughing like someone gone mad.
“Woo-hoo! Hoho-ha!”
Thrusting her fists towards the sky, she erupted into laughter, engulfed in an immense adrenaline rush. The news she received today in the faculty room fueled this burst of energy.
“Oh dear, Miss Emily. One student from your class submitted a withdrawal application!”
Certainly, for the novice teacher Emily, having a student leaving the kindergarten was not a favorable situation. However, upon hearing the name of the student whispered by a not-so-close colleague teacher, she couldn’t contain the laughter welling up inside her.
“Even though there might be a graduation celebration involving parents, where is this? Dealing with Lucia, who avoids me now because of the salary, is getting tiresome!”
Unfortunately, Emily, who was always consumed by survival instincts, had no interest in why her disciple Nia was leaving the kindergarten. She simply had a sudden thought.
“If the commander of the Black Knights is no longer associated with this place, the likelihood of encountering the knights who used to follow Lucia will decrease… Wait, no! What am I thinking now!”
Since the last meeting with Berel, her feelings had become even clearer. However, she couldn’t let go of the vanity to marry into a wealthy family.
But her thoughts toward him, like an instinct, couldn’t be discarded either.
“…The Altorut noble family. Should I trust another matchmaker and investigate further? Yes, that’s right. There are rumors that they have excellent education and are uninterested in money, but who knows. There might be a hidden gem in the mud?”
As she entertained various sinister thoughts, her chin started to droop.
“Hehe, right. Since I’m leaving, there’s nothing to hold back! Let’s make a request right away!”
“Seonsaengnim, who’s leaving?”
“Who else? Lucia’s daughter… Mommy!!!!”
“Roar, horangi~!”
It was Roy, who had two dried carrots on his head.
The child ran straight to the teacher, whether she was surprised or not, and repeatedly raised and dropped the carrots, as if applying medicine to the backyard’s sunflower rabbit.
So, Roy wasn’t the problem.
It was Cesar, with his red hair tightly bound, just before going on a rampage.
“I-Ivannu. It won’t be him, no, it won’t. Please calm down.”
“Move. Cesar.”
Yes.
The real problem was Ivannu, whose rage was so intense that even the sunflower rabbits scattered.
Ivannu of fury quickly chased after the fleeing Emily, but he missed her.
As it was still a secret, Emily denied it several times, but she had escaped from Ivannu, who persistently interrogated her until the end.
On the way back with friends after the Sparrow Squad’s training.
“Relax, Ivannu. Didn’t Emily teacher say it wasn’t her?”
“Cesar is right, don’t worry. Ivannu. Roy will take care of Nia!”
In reality, Cesar was convinced that the words from Emily teacher’s mouth were true, but he said something he didn’t mean to calm Ivannu down.
And that was the same for Roy, who instinctively felt threatened.
However,
“Don’t say anything, both of you. Ivannu won’t believe anything until Nia tells him herself!”
‘If it’s true, Nia will tell me first. If not, she won’t say anything to me. Ivannu won’t believe it!’
A small sense of betrayal and an unwillingness to admit it.
Determined Ivannu seemed unable to accept the fact that his friend had quit.
As the children arrived in the classroom, they each took their seats.
Soon, the bell for the start of class rang.
[Ding-dong] When Emily, the teacher who always escaped whenever it was time for class, came in on time, Ivannu’s eyes flared.Fortunately, Ivannu didn’t rush forward like Emily had imagined, but she thought that the only thing to conquer was the class, as it was always. So she sat in front of the piano.
“Um, well. Alright, everyone. Remember, we need to prepare for the congratulatory stage for the graduates?”
“Yes, yes!”
“So today, let’s memorize the congratulatory song for graduation, ‘Rosemary Knock Knock.’ Shall we all try vocalizing along with the piano sounds?”
As Emily began playing the piano for vocal exercises,
“All right, try it with me~ Aaaaa~”
“Aaaaa~”
“Two, three, Aaaaa~”
“Aaaaa~….”
A feeling that something was missing, different from the usual sounds that always echoed.
The children began to look at the child sitting at another desk, who usually boasted a strong voice.
And there, indeed, was Ivannu, sitting completely turned away from the piano and facing the child next to him.
Niya was restless under Ivannu’s obsessive, burning gaze.
As the children’s attention gathered, Princess Charlotte whispered quietly.
“Hey, Ivannu, what are you doing?”
To which the red-haired statue replied,
“Ivannu is waiting.”
“What?”
‘What is that fool saying?’
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.
