Levanfell, who took his forehead away from mine, passed his gentle fingers through my hair and led me out to the terrace, gripping my shoulders.
“Your Majesty.”
As soon as we left the terrace, Jerim, who had been waiting outside, approached. Jerim seemed to be waiting just in case, knowing Levanfell’s changing time.
“Go call the doctor.”
Levanfell raised his stiff voice. The atmosphere of the party, which had been full of laughter, suddenly became dead.
At my bewildered attempt to speak, Levanfell was the first to open his mouth.
“The party is over.”
With the Emperor’s single word, both the music and the laughter abruptly ceased.
(This is a time delimiter.)
I always feel this way, but Levanfell is really overprotective.
‘Is it because he can’t heal me if I’m hurt? Or is this also related to the favor shown due to the power I have?’
Either way, Levanfell, who abruptly ended the party, had five doctors summoned in the early morning. And he made them check my condition in turn.
Even after all five stated that there was nothing wrong, he still seemed not at ease, and he made a fuss to prescribe good medicine for the body.
Not only that, he grilled poor Jerim and Raven, wondering if I had broken my bones preparing for the party.
On top of that, Daejangdanju, who was about to take advantage of me but got plucked instead, had to be called again. I had to be scolded for a long time, wondering if I got sick due to mental stress.
“Did you feel ill from using divine power?”
And the last responsibility of this era was Elihu’s.
“What were you trying to do when you suddenly used divine power?”
We were silent at Elihu’s question. Elihu didn’t know Levanfell’s secret.
Despite our silence, he didn’t pry further. Elihu sought forgiveness from Levanfell and me and gently placed his hand on my forehead.
It was the posture of a deputy head examining the divine power of the subject.
‘I’m fine now…’
I looked up at Elihu, who was confirming the divine power within my body, with my eyes wide open and closed.
But something was strange.
At first, the smile disappeared from Elihu’s face, and soon enough, his face was distorted.
Furthermore, he opened his closed eyes wide a moment later. The green irises that met mine headon were filled with horror.
“Elihu?”
Even when I called him, Elihu couldn’t close his gaping mouth. His hand, which had been on my forehead, began to tremble slowly.
‘…Why is this happening?’
I wasn’t the only one who felt something strange. Levanfell, who had been silently watching from the side, stepped forward.
“Elihu.”
Levanfell’s call also went unanswered by Elihu. Frowning, Levanfell grabbed Elihu’s wrist, which was gently trembling as it touched my forehead.
Elihu’s hand touching me fell away as a result.
“Heh…!”
Only then did Elihu take a deep breath. Elihu, who was gripping his trembling wrist, stared at me with incredulous eyes.
“What’s wrong? Elihu.”
“Divine, divine power…”
“Huh?”
“The source of the power, it’s immeasurable.”
“What does that mean?”
I tilted my head, feeling my forehead where Elihu had touched. Levanfell seemed just as confused as I was.
“It’s a power, a power without an end in sight! There’s a limit to the sacred power that a human vessel can hold. But Your Majesty, within Your Majesty’s body…….”
Elihu looked at me with a look of wonder, as if he were seeing a god.
“There is no end. It was as if I were facing a spring that gushes endlessly. ……I thought I would drown and die there just a moment ago.”
“……Is that bad?”
“Is it bad? No! It’s…… it’s……”
Elihu brought his hands together in reverence. At the end of his solemn gaze, there was me.
“It’s…… a miracle that I dare not confirm. If Your Majesty felt pain, I dare guess that it might be…….”
Elihu added, licking his parched lips.
“Because it contains a great power that cannot be endured by a human body.”
I can’t endure it with my body? It certainly sounded good, but it felt strange.
Levanfell also seemed to think the same, as he scowled at Elihu.
“What do you mean? Explain, Elihu.”
“What happens if you keep pouring swirling water into a small cup? It overflows and eventually breaks because it can’t withstand that force.”
“……So you’re saying my body might break because it can’t handle the power?”
Elihu deliberately did not answer, swallowing his words. But his silence contained enough of an answer.
Then it happened.
“Squeak. Squeak. (Don’t worry. That’s what I’m here for.)”
The reassuring sound of a hamster was heard above my head. When I looked up, Mu, a hamster, was sitting on the top of my head, having climbed up at some point.
“Mu.”
When I called Mu, both Levanfell’s and Elihu’s eyes turned simultaneously towards the hamster on my head.
“Squeak. Squeak. Squeak. (Didn’t I tell you not to exert yourself? You can’t even bear that.)”
The hamster, Mu, cutely scratched its ear with its foot and then lightly tapped my head with its hand.
‘What are you doing?’
To anyone watching, it just looked like a pet hamster playing on its owner’s head. Since my body wasn’t feeling bad, nothing changed.
“……Huh?”
But Elihu’s reaction was different.
Elihu, who had been a step away from me, suddenly rushed over and muttered, ‘Excuse me,’ before putting his hands on me again.
And he mumbled in an unbelievable voice of surprise.
“The power…… The power has subsided.”
“Huh?”
“The power has hidden itself. Surely, surely I can feel the power inside Your Majesty’s body…… What is this? It feels like someone is forcibly suppressing the power…….”
“What do you mean? Elihu.”
Levanfell demanded a proper explanation from Elihu.
“The power is there, but it’s not trying to shatter the body like before. ……You can use the sacred power without any problems.”
Elihu pursed his lips as if it were strange.
“……I don’t know what happened, but if you can learn to use the power slowly when it’s subsided like this, it might be even better……”
Mumbling, Elihu turned his head towards Mu, who was cutely washing his hands like a hamster.
The squishy hamster and the chief steward Elihu’s eyes met in midair.
‘Has he figured out the identity of the god simulator?’
The chief steward, Elihu, spoke, his eyes twinkling sensually.
“……I’ve heard that pets help regain stability in an unstable mind.”
Huh?
“Could it be, could it be that animals also help stabilize unstable power? That’s why…… That’s why Your Majesty always keeps a hamster with you……!”
No. He’s just a fool. Definitely a fool.
“Squeak. (What a fool.)”
Hamster Mu lightly tapped Chief Steward Elihu’s cheek with its small hand and then ran towards the cookies on the table.
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.
