“Above all, if we hold a wedding, the queen or Gillian might find out, and my status could be in danger. So, I want to postpone the marriage until it’s a bit safer.”
We shouldn’t provoke Gillian, who holds hostility toward Raydoss, with more suspicious actions.
“But have the children said anything about the color of your irises?”
“Oh, they did, but when I said I was a friend of the duchess from her hometown, they welcomed me warmly. The twins seem to be very friendly to the duchess.”
“You handled it very well. You handled it well.”
While we were talking, Lloyd was holding his head and hopping around.
“Ugh! My head! My head!”
It seemed that he was hit for real. While I was worried if it was okay to leave the children like this, Seo-yeon looked at the scene with a face that seemed very familiar with it.
“Now Kian will step in.”
Curious about how Kian would resolve this situation, I watched the fencing match between Lucy and Kian with bated breath.
Lucy was agile and quick, wielding her sword with restraint in her movements. Seeing that, I remembered Sicar’s advice to think about where to hit and throw. Lucy knew exactly where to attack, where to use tricks; she had everything planned.
It was truly an excellent heroine-like aspect, so Seo-yeon and I forgot the serious conversation we had just had and were watching the sword fight between the two children with hearts shooting out of our eyes.
But our amazing male lead and my offspring, Kian, seemed to be preoccupied with blocking Lucy’s attacks.
“Is Kian not moving at all?”
“Oh, no.”
“Huh?”
“I also thought that Lucy was very talented at first, and I thought Kian was preoccupied with blocking, but the Duke said that Kian was allowing it.”
“Allowing it?”
“Watch the speed of evasion. He’s already anticipating Lucy’s movements and avoiding them in advance.”
Listening to Seo-yeon’s words, it was indeed true. While marveling at how much Kian had grown, Sicar’s voice came from behind.
“Kian is allowing it.”
Sicar, who was approaching, seemed to have already figured it out.
“But Lucy is not ordinary either.”
Eventually, the duel ended with Kian letting go of the sword. When Kian, breathing heavily, declared surrender, Lucy, this time, approached Sicar, walking confidently.
“Teach me a move, Duke.”
“Are you serious?”
“Yes.”
“You’ll regret it. I don’t go easy on kids.”
“I don’t consider myself an old man.”
Sicar, who had become an old man at the age of nodding, lifted the wooden sword with a fierce expression.
“All right. But I won’t take a single step from this spot, so attack at your discretion.”
“You’ll regret it, Duke. You treated me lightly.”
Sicar showed a slightly ironic smile, as if he was going to show the price of arrogance.
Look at that expression. What kind of expression is that, looking at a child?
Sicar’s expression toward Lucy was severe.
Sicar really didn’t budge from his spot, and with one hand behind his back, he blocked all of Lucy’s attacks with just one hand.
Seeing that Lucy couldn’t land a single hit, she started attacking more fiercely, seemingly getting angry.
Then, when Lucy put all her strength into an attack, Sicar, who almost fell backward, pushed Lucy’s forehead with his index finger and regained his balance.
Lucy was pushed back and fell down just like that.
“Halt the match for a moment!”
Kian, who called for a pause, approached Sicar and started tying his shoelaces, bowing his head and pretending to untie perfectly fine shoelaces.
“Stop it now.”
“If it’s a deal, I’ll accept it. But threats won’t work.”
“It’s a deal. If you lose, for a week, do as the Duke says. Lucy is still a child. Show the virtue of yielding to a child.”
In this way, Sicar unexpectedly made a deal with Kian.
“Okay. That deal doesn’t sound bad.”
“Tell me what you want.”
“What I want is for you to tell my mother, in my absence, that you treated me so well that she couldn’t stop talking about it, as if she were nailing it into her ears.”
Silently tying Sicar’s shoelaces, Kian, who had been tying his shoelaces perfectly fine, raised his head.
“Are you going on another expedition?”
“I have some business to attend to in the North, and I’m not sure how long it will take. It might be quite late.”
“When are you leaving?”
“Within this week.”
“By any chance…”
“By any chance…?”
“Never mind. Forget it.”
After tying Sicar’s shoelaces, Kian stood up from his seat.
“I’ve tied the shoelaces.”
“Good job.”
Following Kian’s request, Sicar slapped Lucy on the back of her hand, making a loud scream as if in great pain.
“Ouch. That hurts a lot.”
The acting was awkward, but Lucy, seemingly satisfied, shouted cheers and jumped up and down in place.
“Yeehaw! I defeated Satan!”
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.
