Nelia moved to where Reunite was behind the bookshelf and asked in a lowered voice.
“What’s going on?”
Despite Nelia’s inquiry, Reunite, with his round, innocent eyes, quickly transformed into an old man’s stern expression when calling her, making a face as if he were an elder.
“Intimacy in public spaces.”
Nelia’s ears turned red quickly.
“Intimacy…?”
Imitating himself, Reunite gathered his hands as if mimicking and looked into the air with a faint expression, speaking in a hoarse voice.
“Duke…”
Releasing the arms he had gathered, Reunite opened his eyes again with a stern look.
“Just now.”
“When did I ever look at the Duke like that…!”
“Well, you’re better off. That human is worse.”
Reunite gestured with his eyes towards the bookshelf.
“The Duke…?”
“Yeah. Whether I’m there or not, he looks at you with eyes that drop honey. Feels like I’ve become a honeybee enchanted by honey.”
“…Don’t say such things with a human gaze.”
Reunite furrowed his eyebrows.
“You sometimes touch too.”
“I touch what!”
“You were poking my cheeks or hands. Well, then the gaze is ready to devour you anytime… Gulp!”
Nelia hastily covered Reunite’s mouth.
Even though Reunite’s essence was that of an old man, hearing such words from a child’s appearance was too strange.
When Reunite calmed down, Nelia removed her hand from his mouth.
“Don’t say strange things in a child’s form.”
Reunite grumbled that he was just talking about what he saw. Then, he squinted his eyes again and said to Nelia.
“Anyway, avoid expressing affection as much as possible when I’m around, as it doesn’t look good to others.”
“…Got it.”
Nelia felt her cheeks suddenly warm. So, as if changing the subject, she asked about the book in Reunite’s hand.
“Is the book you’re reading interesting after a long time?”
“Do you think I’d find a picture book interesting at my age? Besides… they made Zigrid look so ugly in this!”
Reunite pointed at the Zigrid drawn in the picture book with his finger and complained.
“Why get so angry over something that doesn’t even concern you. And… Zigrid is such an ancient being that no one has seen in real life, so this is probably the best they could draw.”
“Zigrid is much cooler than this. I… know because I observed him up close.”
“Okay, okay.”
It’s nothing special, but why make such a fuss.
More than that, Nelia was curious about something regarding Reunite.
“What was the personality of the Zigrid you observed?”
“Hmm…?”
“You said he was Zigrid’s subordinate. So you must know a lot about Zigrid.”
“…That’s true.”
“I’m curious. How was the dragon considered the greatest in the world?”
Reunite lowered his eyes for a moment.
“Well… in terms of personality… I guess Zigrid’s personality would have changed a lot before and after meeting Elena, his denier.”
“Ah, right. I read in the book that Elena was an extraordinary denier.”
“Beyond being a denier, Elena was everything in Zigrid’s life.”
The woman whom the god of anger had loved so much…
Listening to Reunite’s words, he seemed much more like a romanticist.
Elena must have been very good to him.
“What about the sons? What kind of existence were they to Zigrid?”
Nelia remembered the tragic stories of the sons.
The second son, Karl, resembled his mother Elena and possessed a pure heart. However, the eldest son, Celine, not only resembled Zigrid in appearance but also was filled with anger.
And Celine, jealous of his brother Karl, inflicted wounds, eventually receiving Zigrid’s curse.
“The back part of the book was torn, so I couldn’t see what curse Celine received.”
So Nelia was curious.
What became of the relationship between Zigrid and his sons afterward?
Reunite remained silent for a while, recalling old memories. Or perhaps, he might not know such personal stories.
Even though Reunite claimed to be Zigrid’s only subordinate, how could he know everything about the household?
“You don’t need to know. I was just curious.”
“Zigrid loved both sons.”
Reunite replied with a subdued voice.
“Even Celine…? Zigrid cursed him, didn’t he?”
“Nelia.”
Unlike usual, Reunite stared at Nelia with a rather serious expression.
Nelia worried if she asked something she shouldn’t have.
But…
Grrrr.
A loud noise echoed from Reunite’s stomach.
“I’m hungry.”
Nelia touched her forehead.
As Reunite complained about his hunger, Nelia eventually sought permission from the Duke and moved to a nearby park.
Originally planning to visit the park, they came much earlier due to Reunite.
Nelia’s group spread a large cloth on the sunny grass. When they opened the picnic basket that Ton had prepared in the morning, it contained sandwiches, grapes, milk, and other snacks.
“Wow, a sandwich! I want to eat this.”
Reunite looked at the sandwich with a drooling expression.
Having experienced various foods during his stay with Ton in the mansion, he now seemed to know most food names.
When Nelia offered him a sandwich, Reunite eagerly started eating it. His eating speed was incredibly fast, as if he was really hungry.
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.
