Soon, there were no children in the hall showing a desire to answer. The crown prince looked satisfied at the scene and spoke slowly.
“I will tell you the answer. The lesson that every student admitted to this school must engrave in their hearts for life is this. The three heroes were able to defeat the evil dragon, and the empire Vist became strong, all because of ambition. Ambition alone is the driving force that continues to develop humanity’s culture, and ambition alone makes a person more precious than others. Because of unending ambition, the brave descendants of Visto are treated as masters!”
The students’ eyes sparkled, feeling that the answer was brilliant.
Abelrus grinned. He had a talent for inciting others.
Though he was not as cautious as his younger sister or as talented in strategy as his older sister, this talent was why the emperor had chosen Abelrus as his successor.
“From the moment you are admitted to this school, you follow the rules of the student council. Our student council takes the laziness that was forgiven in your respective families seriously. Acts against the rules are disciplined according to school regulations, and efforts for learning are fully supported.”
Suddenly, Abelrus felt a sharp gaze fixed on his face and turned to find the owner of the eyes. His eyes momentarily turned to where the pretty girl was earlier.
It was strange. The platinum blonde girl was not looking at him still. But why did it feel as if she had been glaring at Abelrus just before?
He had a hunch that he might need to think more about it. But to tell the truth, he was always dull to intuition.
Therefore, Abelrus decided not to waste time on the shabbily dressed child and spoke to all the students.
“The entrance ceremony is concluded with this. Those who want to see the school rules, come to the student council room; the rest, go to the main hall. The supervisor will guide you.”
In the canteen, there were dormitories equipped differently according to what each could pay. There were countless halls to name, but where the students the student council needed to focus on stayed was similar.
Abelrus slowly observed the students as they crowded together, leaving the hall.
(This is a time separator.)
Neris took Diane’s hand and headed for the main hall. Diane had no problem walking on flat ground, but she said she was at risk of falling in sloped places if she did not hold someone. Passing children were already staring hard at Diane.
“Do people always look at you like that?”
Neris recognized all the other children passing by. How could she forget the contemptuous and indifferent violence they showed her?
Now they were still young children, but those ‘young’ children could be fundamentally as cruel as adults. Therefore, whenever the people around them kept glancing at Diane and Neris, Neris’s mood took a vertical dive.
“They do if it’s the first time seeing.”
Diane answered maturely. Neris did not voice her dissatisfaction. She just silently entered the main hall.
The main hall, with black and white diamondshaped marble tiles alternately laid, was filled with freshmen, their attendants, and teachers. Neris looked coldly at the teachers.
Teachers with status and dormitory supervisors were first guiding young male and female children of high rank. The relatively lowranked and timid children looked around timidly.
When she was attending school, teachers appeared to young Neris Trued as fearsome and highranking adults. However, to her, who had even been engaged after graduating, they were now nothing.
Neris eyed a girl who stood out the most in the main hall. That honey blonde she couldn’t forget even in her dreams. A dolllike appearance.
It was Megara.
Next to Megara was Mrs. Hoffman, the highestranking teacher here.
She had seen that face at the entrance ceremony too, but seeing the girl’s proud, chinup appearance up close again, Neris’s head involuntarily bowed down due to a habit ingrained over a long time.
Megara was the prince’s consort, and Neris was the official wife, but Neris had to act like a nonentity in any situation.
The prince’s affection was clearly directed at Megara, and since she was a student, she had been cowed in front of Megara as well.
All the children in this place were enemies to Neris. They are curious about everything with naive faces now, but soon they will find the weakest person and make them their toy.
And the one who would ‘designate’ the weakest person was Megara, who came from the higheststatus family among this year’s newcomers. Neris knew that fact very well.
Suddenly, perhaps Megara felt her gaze, she glanced over here.
Those violet eyes, like violets, had been endlessly praised in society since her school graduation. Indeed, even now, at a young age, her eyes sparkled beautifully.
“Being in the same space as you is insulting. I don’t understand. Why are you alive? Who likes you?”
“You, you stink. No matter how much you wash, you stink. You lived with the commoners, didn’t you think that smell would stick?”
The words those older violet eyes had said while looking straight at her came back to her.
With the vividness as if someone was whispering in her ear right now, Neris was taken aback and lowered her eyes. Unknowingly, cold sweat flowed, and strength entered her palms. Diane whispered and asked.
“Why?”
“No.”
Neris shook her head. Speaking honestly, what would it do? This Diane was kind now, but she would change her attitude over time. Just like everyone else.
The two girls waited patiently. Finally, when the popular teacher, who was also the head of the language department, finished one round of guidance, Neris approached her as if she had been waiting and spoke.
“Mrs. Alix.”
“Oh.”
Mrs. Alix was surprised at the title Neris used and became more astonished after seeing her eyes.
“Do you know me?”
“I heard your introduction earlier.”
Neris had not listened to the guidance Mrs. Alix had given the students, but she vaguely bluffed. Mrs. Alix smiled kindly.
She remembered Neris’s attitude during the entrance ceremony. The clothes were shabby, but that dignified attitude could only come from very noble blood.
Especially being from Jaan.
“You are an excellent young lady. Your pronunciation is accurate too.”
The pronunciation Neris was using now was something only those who had been taught strictly by home tutors from childhood even in Huangdao could use. Unaware of this, Diane looked at Neris with an admiring expression.
But Neris didn’t particularly want praise from Mrs. Alix. Adopted afterward, she had worked several times harder and had been honed in etiquette according to the Duchess of Elandria’s strict standards.
It was Neris’s belief that it should naturally be precise.
“I’m Neris Trued, and this is Diane McKinnon. Please inform us of the dormitories.”
Neris asked formally, although she already knew where she would be staying.
Mrs. Alix read the names of a rundown group dormitory slightly away from the school building and a beautiful dormitory overlooking the lake, also a bit away from the school building, in turn.
Now their paths were different. Diane left with a maid to find her dormitory, looking regretful, and Neris set out nonchalantly to find the dormitory where she would be staying.
The sunlight was shining on the curtains, and it was a summer day in full bloom, with green branches sprouting on every brick wall.
It was a familiar path and a tiresome one. Neris knew a shortcut, so she walked down the quiet alley without encountering the other freshmen.
Once the semester started, the children would take over this road and torment her, but for now, she was free.
And this time, she was going to make those who had tormented her pay dearly.
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.
