Evenel responded nonchalantly, and then looked at Shuher with eyes that said it was now his turn to answer her question.
“Why did you show this to me?”
“It’s just a decision made for the subjugation.”
She was convinced by his statement that there was no other meaning to it. From her perspective, it wouldn’t be bad if she could be of help.
“Anyway, it’s the same reason for me.”
Evenel spoke with a feigned smile and quickly tried to snatch her book that Shuher was holding. It was too messy with scribbles here and there, too embarrassing to show to others.
“Don’t look.”
But he lightly avoided her reach.
“This was originally my property.”
“Emil allowed me to use it freely.”
“Didn’t you think I was the one who allowed it?”
He parried her questioning, leaving her angered but without a retort. There was nothing wrong with what he had said.
“Anyway, what’s this?”
Shuher pointed at a star mark, and she answered.
“It marks the parts I don’t understand. I plan to look up related books later. Especially the parts related to the demon beast, it’s not easy to understand.”
It was difficult to fully grasp just from the writing, being a mysterious existence.
“The energy held by the demon beast’s core is…”
“Huh? Wait a moment.”
Evenel realized that Shuher was about to explain the part she didn’t understand and quickly snatched the book he was holding.
“Please continue.”
And she focused on his words with a pen in hand.
Shuher continued his explanation, surprised but not put off. He had dealt with and researched demon beasts the most, so explaining was no trouble.
“Ah, I see. Then, what about this part?”
Evenel approached him eagerly, excited at the opportunity to clear up her doubts. She was so focused on the content in front of her that she didn’t notice their proximity.
“I don’t quite understand how the demon beast’s rank is determined.”
When she asked with sparkling eyes, Shuher was caught up in her pace and answered sincerely.
‘Why am I not bothered?’
He had thought that she was just putting on airs in the library. He had expected her to give up or get frustrated, but instead, she was the one approaching him.
And she even seemed to enjoy it.
“I completely understand now.”
Shuher’s explanation went straight into her head, easy enough for a child to understand.
It was unexpected. He had thought she would just ignore him, but here she was, helping him.
‘Well, it’s probably because of the subjugation.’
Evenel became aware of the late hour and began to gather her books and materials, standing up.
“Thank you very much for today. It’s getting late, so I should go.”
Shuher chewed on her words of gratitude several times. He couldn’t understand what made her smile like that.
(This is a time separator.)
In the vast training ground, there were only Evenel and Demil. To be precise, Demil was watching her ride a horse.
“I don’t think I need separate lessons anymore.”
“That’s good? You’re on time, fortunately.”
At first, Evenel was awkward even just mounting a horse, but now she was riding it powerfully across the wide field.
Soon, she stopped in front of him and lightly dismounted.
“It’s all thanks to Sir Demil’s strict training.”
Evenel smiled at her comment, but there was no response. She had become used to his lack of reaction.
Thus, their training ended, and they found themselves leaving the training ground and engaging in conversation.
“So, only His Majesty’s knight order is going to the subjugation in a few days?”
“Yes.”
“Why? Isn’t it better if more people go?”
“We must protect the palace and the capital, so we can’t leave our positions with other knight orders as well. Besides, His Majesty said that it’s better to not have anyone if they won’t help. Battling demon beasts is different from normal warfare.”
She nodded her head as if she understood that part as well. The Emperor’s Knights were themselves gathered from the elite knights to fight against the demons.
“But I didn’t expect His Majesty to move personally. Normally, he doesn’t go to such dangerous places. People around him would likely try to stop him.”
If anything happened to Shuher’s person, the entire Caries Empire could be engulfed in chaos.
“His Majesty is stronger than anyone. There will be no such thing.”
Evenel also had seen his power once, so she was naturally convinced.
“Indeed, if His Majesty goes, it would be reassuring.”
On the other hand, Demil didn’t understand Evenel’s behavior, who spoke without hesitation. He knew for sure that she didn’t like him.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Was there something strange about what I said?”
“No.”
At that moment, she spotted Shuher approaching from far away, and stopped and bowed her head. Evenel also spotted him.
Then a question she wanted to ask suddenly came to mind, so she approached him first.
“I saw the data, and when you went to subdue the demons in Ferti territory last year, there were fewer demons than the year before, but the damage was greater. Was there any special reason?”
Shuher was now accustomed to answering her questions.
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.
