Normally, Elodie, who would have charged in and fought with Carlott, left without the slightest hesitation for some reason.
Even humming a tune.
The Ferdia brothers were left staring at the corridor where Elodie had disappeared.
Carlott was the first to speak.
“Brother.”
“Why?”
“Isn’t she a bit strange?”
Carlott frowned, annoyed, when Yansi merely smiled faintly without saying anything.
“Boring, tsk.”
Finally, Yansi called Carlott by name in a barely audible voice, frustrated with Carlott’s hostile attitude towards Elodie.
“Carl.”
“You don’t really recognize her as your sister either.”
“…….”
“You know that much. She knows too?”
While pretending to have a friendly face, he was treating her no differently than a perfect stranger.
Yansi, in particular, remembered the exact day when the newborn Elodie first revealed herself to the family.
One day, Duke Ferdia, who had taken a woman named Arcelia into the outbuilding, casually said,
“Elodie Ferdia.”
“…….”
“She’s your sister.”
Rumors of her being a mistress or a slave were rampant, but Duke Ferdia offered no explanation.
Naturally, he thought his mother would be angry, but surprisingly, the mansion was quiet.
The woman suddenly disappeared a few days later, but the baby remained in the mansion.
There was no way he could feel affection for a crying, unfamiliar baby.
To Yansi, she was just a perpetual stranger. If he had to be specific, he didn’t think very fondly of Carlott, his real brother, but he did have a sense of belonging as a family born of the same womb.
“It’s really strange. Did she eat something wrong?”
Carlott continued to grumble with a grimace, still suspicious.
‘She’s awfully interested. In Elodie Ferdia.’
By nature, the members of the Ferdia family were not interested in others. They were terribly individualistic.
Carlott was not typical of the Ferdias.
Yansi also recalled Elodie’s unusual calmness and murmured softly.
It wasn’t like Elodie to lose her temper and throw a tantrum.
“Yes. …It’s strange.”
That much he could assert with certainty.
She had changed.
Elodie Ferdia had.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Long ago, there were 7 deadly sins that drove the world to ruin.
Pride, lust, envy, wrath, gluttony, sloth, greed.
They destroyed the continent, never content with what they had, coveting even the heavens and earth to carry out the commands of the underworld goddess Irkalla.
When the world started to fall apart, Irkalla’s sister and goddess of heaven and earth, Ishtar, intervened.
She gave 7 humans her divine power to seal the 7 sins.
The humans won and became heroes.
The heroes who sealed the sins established 7 families, and this became the foundation myth of Wilrentia.
As time went on, only 5 families remained, and they were the central Willeunt royal family and the four founding families.
One of them was my family, the Ferdia family.
The reason I suddenly thought of this cumbersome myth was that it greatly influenced my livelihood.
‘Damn power!’
Whether the myth was true or not, the descendants of the royal family and the 4 families could use divine power.
Why hadn’t the power manifested in me, who was not of Ferdia blood, even around the age of 5? Was it because I was illegitimate? I was sad once, but that was all because of a reason.
Ferdia’s bloodline wouldn’t manifest destructive power in me.
Then couldn’t I use power because not a single drop of Ferdia’s blood was mixed in?
‘No.’
I had a different power.
The direct power of another family.
My biological father was none other than… the head of the Severes Duke family, Rihart Severes.
But unfortunately, Duke Severes was in a coma, currently absent.
‘Good riddance.’
Due to the Duke of Severes not being married and having no successor, the Duke’s duties were being handled by the acting head of the family, as rumored.
“Ugh. Why did my father have to be in a coma at a time like this…….”
If that were the case, I wouldn’t have had to struggle so hard to survive. My pitiful life.
The blood of the Severes family flows in my body. The attribute of the Severes family’s ability was ‘purification’.
When I regained my memories from my past life, the original work detailed what my ability was.
I had unconsciously used the power in a scene where Elodie, while plotting wicked schemes to handle the original heroine Estel, was counterattacked.
Then I was found not to be an illegitimate child, was expelled from the family, and met a miserable end.
The important thing was, as long as it was not revealed that this ability was the Severes family’s ability, I felt I could make good use of it.
Although this ability led to my death in the original work, I could not help but be happy about the fact that I had an ability.
“I had an ability.”
From the age of five, I had prayed every night with my hands together, believing that if only my ability manifested, I would gain acceptance from the Ferdia family.
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.
