“Of course, you will form an alliance with the Alsmone Alliance and marry. Your Majesty will safely leave.”
Ugh. It’s not fun at all. It’s too obvious.
“He completely reigns over us and looks down on us.”
Someone whispered to Alanca Duke’s son, Elshe Count Rangber, the core of the eastern noble Alsmone Union.
Even the children of Alanca Duke, who had a somewhat distant relationship, gathered to the extent that they were summoned. The young emperor, who had achieved such a remarkable feat, sat quietly and was intimidating the imperial authority in front of the nobles.
“How about it, Catrin.”
Rangber leaned towards his younger sister.
“Are you interested?”
“What?”
“The emperor.”
Alanca Duke’s daughter, Catherine, with honey-like blonde hair, looked at her and also glanced at Svenya Viscountess Ivonne, who was already considered a leading candidate for empress.
Whether it’s Catherine or Ivonne, the situation is similar. Candidates who must aim for the empress position under the subtle pressure of their brother and parents.
“Well.”
No matter how much they talk about being candidates for empress from this side, it doesn’t matter if the person involved is not interested.
“It seems that Your Majesty won’t dance today, and even if I become interested, what’s the use of trying so hard?”
At her sister’s suggestion, Rangber looked at the emperor with a furrowed brow.
The young emperor keeps trying to climb higher and higher. He should step on the same land as the nobles, who have been vacant for hundreds of years, but he is trying to raise the vacant throne again, so that no one can even look at it.
‘That won’t work.’
The Perseta Empire has withstood even after Carlos Arthur Ingram’s ‘grand theft’. It is all thanks to the noble families who have played the role of the empire’s cornerstone and pillar for centuries.
When the emperor disappeared, who protected the Perseta Empire? Although the powerful nobles are already acting as if they are the primary leaders, the young emperor is in a position to block their attempts to raise the vacant throne, making it a meaningless figurehead and symbol.
‘But this time, the emperor successfully stopped the monster wave. It’s too significant to ignore.’
So far, the western and northern nobles have been continuously pushed back by the eastern nobles. While the northern and western regions, troubled by monsters, have barely formed an alliance to help each other suppress the monsters, the prosperous east has enjoyed peace and continued to prosper.
Of course, the war with monsters has had a significant impact on reducing the gap as technology advances, but anyway, there was no one who could catch up with the east. ‘Until now’ it was like that.
“I hope you danced with the emperor.”
Rangber gently said as if it were a brother caring for his sister. But beyond that statement was the meaning that the emperor should join hands with the eastern nobles.
Even if the imperial power rises, it must be accompanied by the efforts of the eastern nobles. If the imperial power rises alone, it will only press down the nobles.
“Brother. I’m not alone.”
Catherine calmly pointed out what her brother had overlooked.
“Ivonne is there. What about Marinette? If you look into the nobles of the Alsmone Alliance, there are more than twenty.”
If they start competing for the empress position, the solidarity of the previously cohesive eastern Alsmone Alliance will be shaken in an instant.
Nobles who have never experienced such a thing without an emperor until now naturally could only be bewildered. They have never faced the emperor. Inexperience is fatal.
And then, the emperor stood up.
“Ah.”
“Ah!”
As the music that happened to be playing ended, those who were looking at the emperor everywhere held their breath and let out a gasp.
He walked down lightly, and just as the imperial treasurer finished talking with the manager of the imperial treasure vault and returned to the banquet hall, he approached Flache Viscountess, who had come out again.
“Young lady, you’re late.”
Lu looked at Hayden with wide eyes. He frowned slightly and grumbled.
“Why did you talk for so long?”
“You were waiting?”
“Well, I waited. Who else should I wait for?”
“You didn’t say anything, so I thought my role for today was over.”
What nonsense is that, Hayden raised an eyebrow.
“Is that so?”
Clearly, after promising to grant her wish earlier, the banquet started immediately, so she could have requested a dance from Lu at that time. But he just let it pass. Lu looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“Are you angry with me by any chance…?”
As if when did he narrow his eyes, he laughed brightly. Oh, my goodness. He’s angry. He was indeed angry.
“Young lady, you’re quick-witted at times like this. But you don’t seem to catch on at crucial moments.”
“Me?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know.”
He extended his gloved hand.
“First, let’s dance.”
This statement didn’t stem from confidence that she wouldn’t reject his dance request; rather, it was a warning that if she rejected even this, he wouldn’t stay silent.
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.
