It couldn’t be explained as having become thoughtful or mature.
As if she had become a completely different person, her attitude had changed in the opposite direction.
The subtle position within the Ferdia family.
The unexpected side shown today.
If he figured out what was in this medicine bottle, he might be able to approach what Elodie was hiding somewhat.
It was an intuition close to Adenmir’s instinct.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Rodrigo Angelos.
The head of the Angelos Duchy, he was a man full of ambition.
Born from one of the four major families, an heir, and quite quickwitted.
Rodrigo Angelos’s goal was only one.
To suppress all the families and make Angelos the best.
The biggest obstacle in his plan was undoubtedly Sylvester Ferdia.
‘Unfortunate bastard.’
Duke Angelos hated Duke Ferdia intensely.
The reasons were various.
First, he hated the arrogance of Ferdia looking down on people as if he was something special.
Second, remembering the time when he was constantly compared to Ferdia as they grew up because they were of the same age and from the same four major families made him grind his teeth.
Third, he hated the fact that Ferdia, despite being the same age, looked unusually young and handsome and received people’s admiration.
Fourth, Ferdia’s son, Yansi Ferdia, was unfortunate.
Fifth, Ferdia, who dominated the underworld and constantly interfered with his business, was a hindrance.
If he had to list the reasons why he disliked Duke Ferdia, he could talk for days and nights.
So, this time too, he had laid a grand plan to make Ferdia withdraw from one of his businesses.
“To come up with such an idea, that man is certainly extraordinary.”
Recalling the one who came to him for advice, Duke Angelos leisurely enjoyed his favorite drink.
He had bought up all the marble mines, so even Ferdia couldn’t endure it.
There must be a limit to selfsufficiency. The deposited resources would eventually run out.
Since a large amount of marble was needed to produce magical armor, it would be impossible to cope with the amount mined from Ferdia’s mines.
To supply the Royal Palace, a certain quota had to be met, but it was physically impossible.
Although it couldn’t be ruled out that he could open a trade route abroad, considering the customs duties to be paid while buying from abroad, it would be a loss in the end.
Just then, his aide entered the office to report the current situation.
“Your Grace. The bidding has been completed. It was a close call, but we issued a promissory note and paid the money.”
“Hmm, then all we have to do is wait now.”
This was just the beginning.
Ferdia, the ruler of the dark world, had the largest stake in the military supply business conducted externally.
Withdrawing from just one business, Ferdia would not falter. But the plans of the Duke of Angelos were more futureoriented.
The Duke’s wish was certain.
Ferdia’s downfall.
One by one, he would tear it down until he eventually swallowed Ferdia whole.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The Duke of Ferdia’s office.
His two sons were standing in front of the Duke, who was seated at his office desk, for a report.
“Report.”
“Yes. As Liri said, all funds were gathered in Angelos and the marble mines were purchased.”
As soon as Yansi’s report was over, Carlott also opened his mouth.
“We have bought all the mines in Bruman and other material supply places.”
“In Angelos, these are materials that do not trade smoothly. That too is as Liri predicted.”
The Duke, having heard the report, nodded calmly.
“Start.”
It was time to pay the price for daring to touch Ferdia.
.
.
.
A few days later, Angelos’ capital mansion.
An aide ran into the Duke’s office.
“Duke, Ferdia has…!”
“Oh, Ferdia! Finally, they’re withdrawing from the military supplies business?”
The Duke of Angelos, who had been eagerly waiting for the news of Ferdia’s failure, jumped up with a hearty laugh.
But the aide’s reaction was unusual.
“Ah, no.”
“Then?”
“Ferdia has bought all the mines in the Bruman region. Not only that, but other materials’ supply channels are blocked. There’s nowhere else to trade if not Ferdia!”
“……!”
The Duke of Angelos’ eyes widened.
Damn.
‘I’ve been had.’
That thought immediately filled his mind.
Ferdia had returned exactly the method he had used.
He hadn’t anticipated it at all. He had thought it a perfect plan.
His mind was racing.
Stalling would only mean loss for him.
If other materials were monopolized in Ferdia, they would surely sell them at a high price.
So it was a right judgment to withdraw from the business before the loss grew.
But he couldn’t stop the anger from rising.
As the Duke of Angelos was trying to calm his rage, there was a knock.
Knock.
Someone was knocking on the open office door.
“You seem to have found the right place.”
“Silvester…….”
A silent visit that probably no one in the mansion had noticed.
There was no one in this mansion capable of sensing Silvester Ferdia.
The Duke of Ferdia asked.
“How do you like my gift?”
“Ha, it’s beyond petty. Coming at me like this.”
“Expecting justice from Ferdia would be absurd. But the word ‘petty’ coming from you, Rodrigo. Is it selfintroduction?”
“……I just intended to compete in business fairly.”
“Fair and square. Unfortunately, it’s a word far from me.”
Infuriated by the provocative words of the Duke of Ferdia, the Duke of Angelos barely contained his anger.
He could roughly anticipate how things had gone.
He knew that Silvester Ferdia’s eldest son, Yansi, was clever in that direction, but he hadn’t expected him to find a solution so quickly.
“It’s probably that Yansi Ferdia who schemed this……. ”
“You’re mistaken, Rodrigo.”
“What? If it’s not Yansi Ferdia then.”
“Well.”
Not him?
Then who?
‘I need to find out.’
This was not a matter to ignore lightly. It meant that talent had emerged to check the Ferdia family.
The Duke of Ferdia turned his back and stepped out, regardless of whether Angelos made a curious expression or not.
The feeling of seeing that gloomy face crumple was not that bad.
“I should give a prize to my daughter.”
Regardless of anything, the heroine of solving this case was his youngest daughter, Elodie Ferdia.
The Duke’s footsteps quickened a little.
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.
