Aston responded to my words with a firm posture, saying, “It’s okay, Ilrang. Now that I am the Emperor of this country, who would dare say anything?”
“Oh… Did I sound like a tyrant just now?”
“Do I now look like my disappeared elder brother?”
“Oh, right. What happened to that damn guy?”
As Aston laughed, taking a bite of peach sherbet, I inquired, “What happened to that cursed guy?”
“He was expelled from the imperial position early in this world, exiled, and died from an epidemic there.”
“Oh, I see.”
It wasn’t pitiful. Only a sigh of deep admiration escaped.
I had wished for the person who had driven Aston to the cold frontier to walk a thorny path, and it turned out to be a good thing.
Zero, upon my gesture, mimicked the same posture.
‘I take back the curses, Zero.’
You handled the aftermath wonderfully. Truly excellent.
“So, what happened to the previous Emperor?”
“When the first prince became a soldier, he left this world in shock. Thanks to that, I inherited the throne at a relatively young age, and now we’ve entered a period of stability.”
While sipping tea, Aston casually mentioned it as if it were nothing, but I suspected that he had gone through many hardships.
I cautiously held his hand and comforted him.
“You’ve been through a lot.”
“It wasn’t that difficult, but… It’s not bad at all with Ilrang’s pampering.”
Aston’s attitude had become warmer and more affectionate than before, leaving me unable to regain my composure.
“Hey, Aston. I can’t get used to you being so different. You’re probably very popular, too.”
Coincidentally, he was at the age of marriage eligibility.
‘At this time in the original work, the Crown Prince held a wedding with Siena…’
I could feel bubbling emotions deep within my chest.
I unconsciously stuck out my lips, and the words that popped out were unexpected.
“…Do you have a fiancée?”
Of course, he would have one, I thought.
“No, I don’t. But it seems like one will be arranged soon.”
My heart sank at his words.
“…Who is the other party?”
“Well, Ilrang, who else could it be but you?”
“What?”
“The reason there was no fiancée until now was that you weren’t by my side. But since you’ve returned to this world, I’ll never let you go.”
‘Uh, ugh.’
He approached directly, and my mind became dizzy.
However, when I suddenly looked around and saw Zero and Ardel, they were covering their mouths and watching the scene with great interest.
“Hey, Zero, stop staring! Zero!”
“Why? It’s so entertaining. Give us more. We’ll quietly be like dust.”
“Chirp. (It’s not a bad sight.)”
“Don’t tease me!”
As I scolded Zero and pouted, Aston couldn’t hide his laughter.
“You two still get along well.”
Aston, whose eyes no longer looked precarious, gently responded, “……I’ve become much rounder, thanks to you, Ilrang.”
“It’s all thanks to Ilrang. In the reconstructed world, all the events that left the most dreadful scars on me have become nonexistent.”
“Fortunately.”
Seeing Aston in a relaxed state, my heart was relieved.
Aston, who had been staring at me, dropped another bombshell.
“Still, when you didn’t appear in front of me, the emptiness didn’t go away despite having no memories. I always wanted to know what important thing I missed.”
“Was I that important to Aston?”
“Of course. Not only me, but other colleagues who have come to like you feel the same way.”
Ah, I almost forgot in the midst of enjoying the conversation with Aston. I wanted to check if the other colleagues were doing well.
I asked Aston, “Aston, you are a capable Emperor, right?”
“Of course.”
“Then, can you invite all the other colleagues to the palace so that we can meet them? It might be faster for Aston’s power to gather them in one place than searching for them individually.”
Aston nodded as if there were no problem with my words.
“I will immediately summon the courtiers scattered to various places through an emergency summoning portal to the palace.”
Power seems quite convenient.
In just a day after I asked Aston, colleagues who had faced the zombie crisis together with me gathered at the palace.
Since they couldn’t recall their memories before facing me, those who had come in a hurry due to the sudden summons were in a slightly sensitive state.
“This is the room.”
Aston led me to the front of the door of the meeting room.
‘The colleagues I wanted to meet so badly are here.’
My heart pounded. Due to tension and excitement, my hands were sweaty.
Like Aston, would they remember me when they saw me?
Suppressing the anxious feeling, I listened quietly to the sounds behind the door.
I heard the voices of colleagues gathered together, chatting away.
“Why did His Majesty summon us for some business?”
I heard Siena’s voice. I almost screamed with joy but barely held it in.
‘In the reconstructed world, they are safe.’
However, the joy was short-lived. Soon, Russ, Benedict, and Mihail followed, expressing their complaints one after another.
“It seems like a useless matter. I was in the middle of an important research at the Tower of Magic, but got dragged out like a dog.”
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.
