Currently, Hayden had to prove that he was a person who didn’t need to firmly establish imperial power through marriage. Thinking of Lady Godio’s report, he looked down at his long-lasting peace.
The Emperor finally finished his extended visit to Turington and returned to Chalea.
“Your Majesty!”
“Long live the Emperor!”
Returning through Bifel, he responded individually to the citizens of Chalea, waving his hand and smiling brightly.
The Emperor, who looked much better than usual, seemed to be completely unaffected by the assassination attempt incident in Turington.
Leading the Imperial Ale, he cheerfully led the Empire. Behind him was the young Plache Viscount riding a white Pegasus. She, who bravely blocked the way for the Emperor during the assassination attempt, also received cheers.
“Long live the Emperor!”
“Stay healthy!”
Chalean people seemed to want to show their support for the Emperor, who had experienced significant events in the East since yesterday, and the streets were unusually crowded today. There were even young children muttering and offering flowers to Lou.
“Thank you.”
As Lou greeted and accepted the flowers, a girl with missing front teeth smiled brightly. Cute. Lou smiled back and passed by.
With long hair cascading and a hooded cloak draped around her, she did not expose her neck and shoulders.
Freyja, Lady of Siena, who used to observe her attire at the Aeseloth Palace, did not make the beginner’s mistake of changing her expression. She had simply prepared clothes that covered well and weren’t too hot.
Lou looked at Hayden’s back, who was walking ahead. He stood tall and straight, his back wide and firm enough that anyone would want to lean on. That’s exactly how the Emperor’s back should be. She was pleased to be in a position to see that back. Honestly, it felt good.
Hayden, as if aware of her gaze, turned around. Then he smiled brightly. Lou also smiled in response to that smile.
‘I can feel a lot of eyes on me.’
It was natural because many people were watching. Nevertheless, she smiled brightly. Smiling Rustica Genesis looked really good. Elija Barcova, one of the gazes Lou felt, watched her from afar.
It looked much better now than during the Kalita mission a few days ago. She seemed bright, cheerful, and happy. It’s a face that couldn’t be polished.
Elija, a disguise and infiltration expert, turned away while looking at the shining Lou. Her footsteps passed through the crowded street and gradually headed towards the slums.
“Oh, what are you doing here? They were distributing bread in front of the hospital over there!”
“Ugh, the smell of alcohol. Did you exchange bread for alcohol?”
Even in the poverty-stricken area where poverty and hunger were inevitable, there was an unusually loud sound and vitality. Distribution had been ongoing continuously these days. Although the children with sunken eyes looked thin, they didn’t starve to death.
Passing through the dirty alley, Elija looked around. Especially in front of the government-operated hospital, there were always many people. To Elija, it was now a familiar place where she frequently visited.
“Please line up. Welcome, Mrs. Norman. Your hat today is very pretty. Did you make a new ribbon?”
The doctor laughed as he saw the old woman in shabby clothes wearing a crumpled black hat.
“Yeah, how did you know?”
“Just by looking, I knew right away.”
The stench and foul smell that covered the slums were less here. Nurses and doctors tried their best to maintain cleanliness, and the police also regularly patrolled this area.
Medical treatment and food distribution were carried out in an orderly manner. Since it had been going on steadily for a long time, people in the slums were accustomed to lining up.
“Police officer, that kid was pickpocketing yesterday. A week ago, he stole bread too. But why are you giving again?”
There were children whispering such complaints to each other.
“Even if you’ve done such things, if you repent, you can receive a loaf of bread and a bowl of soup today. That’s what the Emperor has decided.”
These words were something Elija had heard repeatedly as she traveled here. If the Emperor had decided so, even if someone committed a crime or interfered with distribution, they could receive supplies every day.
The steaming soup was filled with large chunks of meat. It was quite hearty today as well.
Elija turned her steps. The streets were gradually becoming cleaner, and the clothing of the people passing by was becoming more affluent.
Returning to the Kalita Mansion, Elija habitually returned through the back door. Unexpectedly, she found Rucilla crouching in the corner of the backyard. She was a young maid picked by Rustica Genesis. The child was crying.
“Oh, you’re back. Welcome back.”
Upon seeing Elija, Rucilla hastily wiped away her tears and greeted. Following the strict rules and etiquette of the Kalita Mansion seemed burdensome for the child.
“What were you doing here?”
“Nothing at all!”
Rucilla shook her head hurriedly. Elija didn’t ask any further and went inside. The child wouldn’t talk anyway.
“Martin, what happened while I was away? Did Rucilla do something wrong?”
“That guy spilled a bucket full of mop water in the corridor twice! The curtains and carpet are a mess now! I told him not to have dinner as a punishment!”
Listening to Martin’s angry voice, Elija recalled the slums she had just passed through.
The Kalita Mansion was more extravagant than the slums of Chalea.
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.
