That’s when the maid, Helena, was twinkling her eyes at Henry.
Jane walked towards Helena with light steps.
Jane and Helena were classmates who came together from the institution.
They entered Empress Lenisha’s palace as maids when they were young and spent their whole lives together.
If Helena had a meticulous and neat personality, Jane was lively and bubbly.
In a word, the two were completely opposite in character.
Lenisha cherished both of them.
Jane and Helena were orphans of heaven.
They truly entrusted their lives to the palace.
Lenisha was the one who took responsibility for them and brought them here.
Helena and Jane could not even imagine a life without Lenisha.
The more meticulous Helena was in charge of Henry, and Jane was in charge of overseeing the overall atmosphere of the mansion and the village.
“Helena.”
Jane called Helena in a soft voice.
“Jane?”
Helena, who was standing upright in a position where Henry could be seen, slightly turned her head to look at Jane.
At the same time, she was trying not to lose sight of Henry.
“……Prince Meteo has come this time.”
“So?”
“It seems he brought the young count and countess with him. I don’t know the exact situation, but if this matter gets to Head Butler Henry.”
Helena turned her head to stare at Henry.
Henry clearly seemed dissatisfied with his situation.
Sometimes Henry seemed human, but mostly he prioritized his own interest.
If it helped his gain, Henry would surely report to the emperor about the young count and countess.
Helena’s heart thumped as she thought of a thousand things.
The happiest thing was that the young count and countess had returned.
That alone would halve Lenisha’s sorrow.
But the joy could turn to anger because of Henry.
Henry was a drop of poison that Lexus had left here.
Initially, those who came with Casius were the ones who suffered in the battlefield thanks to Lexus.
And the people in Lenisha’s palace were originally those who deeply hated Lexus.
How Lexus treated Lenisha.
They had seen how their mistress was humiliated.
Ordinarily, servants who serve someone take pride in their master.
In other words, Lenisha was their pride.
More beautiful and dignified than anyone else.
To be loved and acknowledged by anyone.
Lexus had trampled not only Lenisha but all the people of the Empress’s palace.
What if Lexus finds out about the young count and countess now?
“I love Hiloshine.”
Helena murmured in a faint voice.
“I love serving Empress Lenisha, who has been at ease since coming to Hiloshine. You feel the same way, don’t you, Jane?”
“Yes, I do.”
Jane slowly nodded her head.
Helena clenched her fist.
You can block what you hear, but you cannot block what you see.
If you can’t block it, you have to solve the fundamental problem.
A cruel light flashed in Helena’s eyes and disappeared.
Helena slowly licked her lips.
“I want to protect us, Jane.”
“I agree with you.”
Jane grasped the tips of Helena’s hands.
Helena, who always took care of the naive Jane.
What she wanted was also what Jane wanted.
(This is a time separator.)
Hiloshine’s vast land was submerged in darkness.
The sound cutting through the barren land where not even a single blade of grass grew well was buried in the breeze.
Swish, swish.
It sounded like the wind, and also like something brushing past.
It was the sound that colored the night of Hiloshine.
People living here were said to fall asleep to that sound as a lullaby.
Lenisha stood on the balcony, looking outside, and greeted the night of Hiloshine.
Helrin had been unconscious since she fell.
Brixton was sitting by Helrin’s side, watching her all the time.
Lenisha opened her mouth in a faint voice.
“……I told you not to say anything to Isabella yet. I think it would be unpleasant to see her like this.”
“Thank you, Lenisha.”
Lenisha turned at the sound of Brixton’s cracked voice.
“……Thank you, Brixton, for appearing alive before me.”
Brixton’s bitter smile surfaced at Lenisha’s slow words.
Thoughts of those who didn’t make it back filled her mind, now that she knew Isabella was safe.
“……What about mother and father?”
“I brought them with me.”
Lenisha clenched the railing.
Her heart pounded as if something had pressed a button.
She had not yet managed to provide a proper resting place for the deceased Duke and Duchess, even though she had brought them to Hiloshain.
Hiloshain was excessively barren.
She wanted to bury the two in a sunny and pleasant place.
Was it Lenisha’s excessive greed?
“I’m a disobedient daughter for not providing them with a proper resting place. Brixton, I……”
Emotion overwhelmed her.
Lenisha was alive and well in Hiloshain with Casius.
She laughed and chatted healthily.
There were times when she felt an unexpected happiness, thanks to Casius.
“When I think about those who passed away because of me, I…”
Lenisha swallowed her hot saliva.
Her head felt like it had been stirred with a hot ladle.
“I can’t breathe.”
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.
