In front of Asti was Hades.
Hades didn’t say anything, but Asti was frozen, only able to shiver at the sharp aura emanating from him.
“Asti.”
“Lu, Luhan, brother.”
As Luhan followed from behind, calling Asti, she finally ran to him, sobbing, and pressed herself against his back.
Luhan gently patted Asti’s head and comforted her.
“Asti, you shouldn’t run around the palace like that. You were the one who collided first, so apologize to Hades like an upper-class person.”
Asti turned her head slightly toward Hades.
“……”
“Hu-ying. Luhan, brother!”
But once again intimidated by Hades’ sharp gaze, she dove into Luhan’s arms.
“Oh, Asti… I’m sorry, Hades. I’ll apologize on behalf of Asti.”
Luhan smiled slightly, apologizing to Hades. However, Hades, without saying a word, looked at Asti and then, as if trying to align his gaze with hers, he bent his knees.
“Heek!”
Asti, frightened by Hades’ action, clutched Luhan’s trouser hem with her small hand.
But Hades, in a very polite manner, even laid one hand on her chest as he lowered himself, as if trying to meet her gaze.
“…Greetings to Princess Asti.”
“Ah, Asti, Pig Princess, no?!”
Hades, who used to laugh joyfully and tease her every day, calling her Pig Princess, now greeted her politely, leaving Asti even more surprised, stumbling in her words.
Luhan, watching from the side, was also surprised, widening his eyes as he looked at Hades.
It wasn’t the same Hades who used to call her Pig Princess every day when he saw Asti.
“Crazy guy!”
Just then, Tarkan, who flew in from somewhere, landed on Asti’s shoulder and shouted loudly.
After the greeting, Hades, looking at Tarkan shouting madly, chuckled. His appearance seemed somehow sneaky, and his eyes were even bloodshot, looking unhealthy.
“This bird still has no manners.”
“…D-Don’t touch Tarkan!”
Asti, although frightened, surrounded Tarkan with her hand and confronted Hades.
“Oh, come to think of it, was this bird Princess’s Frau? I heard that Princess has a Frau too.”
“…”
“As a master with a Frau, Princess knows how much we treasure them.”
Kneeling down, Hades took out a small crystal box from his pocket and handed it to Asti. The transparent crystal box was filled with beautifully colored sugar cookies.
“That’s Tepe Market’s cookies!”
Seeing the newly created cookies from a different market, Asti, forgetting her fear, started to sparkle her eyes and regain her taste.
In the royal palace, only the finest items were brought in from the market permitted by the Sultan, and cookies were no exception.
However, cookies meant containing not only sugar, coconut butter, and cocoa powder but also unhealthy ingredients, making the crude ones tastier.
And such things were hard to come by in the palace.
Hades lightly tapped Asti’s head with it, and then, offering it to her gently, he said,
“Frau is this one’s happiness. So, Princess, please take care of Caleb’s goddess with the best effort. This is a bribe.”
Asti, sneaking glances at Luhan and Hades, quickly took the box of cookies from him and stuck it back to Luhan’s back.
Hades stood up and patted Luhan’s shoulder.
“Luhan, it seems I won’t be able to come to the palace for a while.”
“Well… Hades, I’m sorry for the trouble.”
“I brought this on myself. It’s also the path I have to take.”
“…”
“If you become the Sultan, everything will be resolved.”
For a moment, Luhan’s facial expression subtly changed, but Hades, busy looking at Asti who was captivated by the cookies, didn’t seem to notice.
“When you become the Sultan, Latifa can return with just a gesture, so please take care until then.”
Before taking a step, Hades, with a serious expression, said to Luhan.
“She may boast every day that she’s a strong-willed woman from birth, but she is very fragile, and she can’t eat properly if the food has a strong smell. However, she eats fruits well, so make sure she has enough meals, take care of her appearance to maintain Caleb’s dignity, and don’t neglect her dressing.”
Rubbing his forehead and staring into space, Hades’ eyes seemed to be drawing someone with a vague black light.
“And… if possible, I would like to have a bit of her hair.”
“Hair? Would you rather arrange for Asti to meet Latifa in person?”
“What face does a wretched owner who couldn’t even protect his Frau have? Just a little hair will do. The lion roaming around the estate seems to worry about her.”
“Is there any message you want me to convey?”
Hades, standing in silence for a while, spoke with a heavy, sinking voice.
“None.”
And without any lingering attachment, he turned his back and walked away, brushing the overgrown bushes with his palm through the railing.
Luhan, who had been silent, asked Asti.
“By the way, Asti. What’s going on here?”
“Oh…!”
Asti, holding the cookie box Hades gave her, hesitated while blushing, then ran away, saying it was nothing.
Returning from the prince’s palace, Asti opened Latifa’s bedroom door, peeked her head out, and looked around.
“Latifa. Are you okay?”
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.
