Now Lu understood why Hayden paid so much attention to his attire to the point of seeming excessive. It was the desire to look good in front of someone you like.
Hayden, who wanted to capture Lu’s heart by any means, focused solely on the body that resonated with her.
Lu, who always considered herself lacking, eagerly positioned herself by his side when she saw an opportunity to become whole.
But what if she doesn’t become whole, and instead, things get worse?
“No, let’s not jump to conclusions yet.”
She didn’t want to come to a conclusion. Perhaps it’s just a misconception. Thinking of killing Hayden might be a misconception. Or it could be the bad influence of the curse. Then all she had to do was lift the curse.
With a clink sound, the emerald curse revealed itself again. Lu has been looking at the curse more frequently these days. The frequency had increased to about once every few minutes. Even if she reveals the curse, there aren’t many people in Perseta who can see it.
Clunk!
Especially in a place where the dark forest from the densely wooded mountains and the vast fields met, there was no one. The sound of hunting dogs barking incessantly came from somewhere.
Pausing for a moment, Lu, who still had the curse clinging to her, stared at it. The crown could be cut off. However, as it approached the neck, the pain became incredibly intense.
You really shouldn’t face it alone now, Lu.
Last night, he had covered her waist tenderly as he spoke. He shook his head, indicating that going up further was not allowed.
‘Why is he so devoted?’
A spiteful thought suddenly occurred to her. The malice wasn’t directed toward Hayden but toward Lu herself.
‘Why am I like this? I have so many fatal flaws, but Hayden doesn’t.’
No, maybe it was directed toward Hayden.
‘Maybe I’m using my curse to attack Carlos, intentionally approaching him?’
Lu touched her forehead. When the cursed forehead and the uncursed hand touched, she felt a tingling sensation.
‘Or is it right for me to have this thought?’
“Ugh, it’s disgusting, really.”
She deliberately spoke loudly, shaking her head. The thoughts passing through her mind became increasingly unpleasant and dangerous.
Since losing her abilities, such thoughts had gradually gnawed at her. After experiencing it for a long time, she realized it was best to empty her mind completely. However, negative thoughts were like dust. Turn around, and they pile up; wipe them away, and they reappear.
“Let’s go, Ramos.”
Lu patted the neck of the Pegasus, who had completely hidden its wings. They needed to run a bit. Breathing in the fresh air, she needed to clear her mind. Lu was undoubtedly standing firmly in reality. She shouldn’t doubt that fact.
‘Get yourself together. Don’t think new thoughts. It’s not like I didn’t expect something like this to happen.’
As long as the head and heart were bound by the curse, it was something that could be anticipated. Therefore, she had to stand firm without wavering and endure silently.
Beep beep!
A white falcon with many names flew sharply above her head. Hayden was still protecting her. Or perhaps he was watching over her.
The first day of the hunting competition. Jane Teller deeply regretted not being able to witness the hunting competition and hoped that more joyful scenes would come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Of course, there was no guarantee that she would be able to attend the hunting competition tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Along with Jane, the people of the Alanca Duchy who had not participated in the hunting competition continued to respond only to questions with crying, sighs, or deadpan faces.
“Police again.”
Looking at the police after crying and collapsing is not particularly pleasant. Jane admitted that. After expressing condolences and sympathy to the Alanca Duchess, who looked at her as if she were loathsome, Jane spoke slowly.
“We need to resolve this quickly.”
“It must have been exciting outside! Taking something from our house and making a knight out of it would be enjoyable.”
Jane quietly looked at the duchess whose sharpness had become unusually keen. The person who, even in the face of great sorrow when Count Elsh died, never lost her culture and dignity, had aged and sharpened in just a few days. Could anyone who lost a husband and a child within a few months remain in their right mind?
“The stories you mentioned during the investigation won’t leak to the knights, Duchess.”
“It didn’t mean to convey the information to the knights. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
The duchess quickly realized that she had made a mistake and tried to regain composure. No, she tried to do that. The back of her hand, which gripped the handkerchief tightly, protruded white. The shock of continuously losing her health due to the consecutive deaths of her child and husband was making her condition worse.
“Where were you, Duchess, when the duke collapsed?”
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.
