Rosette, who had never had any interaction with Adrian’s knights in the past, wondered how she could recognize one of the knights.
After pondering for a moment, Rosette suddenly exclaimed, “Ah…!”
She remembered where she had seen him.
‘This person, he was definitely in the Dallas knights…’
She recalled a somewhat hazy memory from the past. Back then, she was in her mid-teens, sent by Duke Dallas to intimidate a noble. One of the knights who accompanied her as a guard looked similar to this man.
However, she wasn’t sure. She had seen knights so infrequently that their faces weren’t clear in her memory.
Moreover, the knight’s appearance was quite ordinary, and she could have confused him with someone else.
Then the knight smiled a bit more brightly. Upon closer inspection, there was a long scar on his chin. Seeing that made it certain.
‘Right. He’s from the Dallas knights. It’s clear.’
But why was a knight from the Dallas family here? That was the question.
Rosette wasn’t knowledgeable about knighthood, but she knew that once someone became a knight of a noble family, they typically didn’t serve another.
So, the conclusion was one.
‘He must originally be from the Dallas family.’
The man in front of her was a spy from the Dallas family.
Thinking about Daniel’s accident, Rosette had suspected there might be a spy from Dallas within the estate. She thought the spy would be among the stable keepers or servants, someone who could easily access the carriage.
Once she had established herself in the Adrian family, she planned to look for the spy to prevent any incidents.
But now the spy had seemingly rolled right in front of her!
Rosette was unsure whether to be pleased or troubled by this development and wore a perplexed expression. The knight then asked her, “Lady, weren’t you thirsty?”
“Ah? Uh, yes.”
Rosette took the water bottle from the knight and quenched her thirst. The knight smiled once more before joining his colleagues.
Rosette narrowed her eyes as she watched his retreating back.
‘If my suspicions are correct, this man is responsible for tampering with the carriage.’
But she had only circumstantial evidence and no proof. She couldn’t be certain that the man was a spy. The only thing she had to go on was that he resembled someone from her past.
While she was practically glaring at the knight, Lucas asked, “Hey, little one. Why are you looking at him like that?”
Had she been too obvious? Even though Lucas couldn’t read her thoughts, Rosette was flustered and stammered, “No, just, thankful…”
Lucas narrowed his eyes, full of dissatisfaction.
“You didn’t fall for that guy at first sight, did you?”
“…What?”
Confused by his meaning, Rosette asked back, and Lucas suddenly erupted in anger.
“Little one, that’s not right! Is this why we do morning training?”
The knights around them, who had been showing interest, smiled warmly as they watched the two.
Startled, Rosette quickly covered Lucas’s mouth with her hands.
“Mmm, mmm!”
Lucas struggled to remove her hands. Rosette hushed him and dragged him to a corner where no knights were present.
Lucas could have easily resisted Rosette’s strength, but he allowed himself to be led by her.
Once she was sure they were alone, Rosette released Lucas. He took a deep breath and then reproached her.
“Why did you do that?”
“You were saying weird things,” Rosette replied.
“What did I say?”
Lucas tilted his head in confusion, then remembered and exclaimed, “About falling in love at first sight?”
“Shh, speak quietly.”
Rosette tried to cover his mouth again, but this time Lucas skillfully dodged her hands.
Seeing Rosette looking somewhat defeated, Lucas asked her, “So, why were you staring at that knight?”
Rosette attempted to cover her mouth again, but Lucas was not going to let her off this time. As if the previous moment when Rosette had caught him was just a joke, he skillfully dodged her hand.
With a slightly defeated look, Rosette stared at her empty hands. Lucas then asked her, “So why were you staring so intently?”
“Ah…”
Rosette furrowed her brows, deep in thought, trying to come up with a plausible excuse.
But unable to think of one and remaining silent, Lucas muttered, “I didn’t know you had that kind of taste…”
“It’s not like that!” Rosette blurted out without realizing.
“Just, he looked like someone I know.”
“Really?”
Luckily, Lucas didn’t doubt her. Seizing the opportunity, Rosette decided to extract information from her naïve brother.
“How long has that knight been here?”
“I don’t know,” Lucas replied without any suspicion.
“I don’t keep track of every knight’s information.”
“I see.”
“But he looked pretty young, so he must not have been here for long. Maybe 4 or 5 years at most?”
That wasn’t enough information for Rosette. She let her shoulders slump in disappointment, prompting Lucas to flutter his arms and babble.
“Maybe Daniel knows, should I ask him? Or father?”
Then he narrowed his eyes.
“You’re not really interested in him, are you?”
Rosette vigorously shook her head.
“No, I’m not.”
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.
