At the moment when Lachrahan was talking with Timothy.
Suddenly, noisy sounds from outside reached them.
“Wyatt. Go out for a moment. Check what’s happening…?”
Lachrahan, who was looking around, realized that Wyatt, who had been next to him just a moment ago, was now gone.
“Oh. Don’t worry, Your Highness. I will check.”
Instead, Timothy stood up and walked out.
Lachrahan brushed away the hair falling on his forehead and mumbled.
“Two days…”
Not that he was worried about that time.
For him, there was no fear as he had the forces to overthrow the royal family and cause a war at any moment.
From the beginning, Lachrahan didn’t avoid Gerald because he was afraid.
He was just refraining from unnecessary conflicts.
What mattered was that Gerald also knew that fact.
Lachrahan was confident that Gerald’s side wouldn’t move without careful consideration.
“Your Highness!”
Timothy, who went out to check the situation, rushed back in.
The urgency in his voice was unexpected.
“Something big happened. Wyatt is being arrested for sexual harassment!”
“Harassment? Who did he harass?”
“Princess Kellita.”
“What?”
Lachrahan’s eyebrows furrowed.
Wyatt was someone who didn’t even give a glance to the serving girl at the rowdy tavern.
“Wyatt, accused of harassment?”
The issue wasn’t whether it was true or not.
It was the charge.
If the palace guard found a man acting improperly towards a woman, they could execute him on the spot or imprison him.
After that, unless ordered by the emperor, the man could only be released through a tedious trial.
“This could drag on for several months.”
Lachrahan rushed outside.
Fortunately, not long after, he was able to find Wyatt and the palace guards who had not yet reached the underground prison.
Blocking their way was Bercheria.
Lachrahan saw Lawrence, who followed the maids from the opposite side, also chasing after them.
“All gathered in one place?”
Lachrahan looked at Bercheria and slowly stopped walking.

Bercheria calmly gazed at Gerald’s palace guards.
They were an organization thoroughly moving under the emperor’s orders.
So, during their duty, prioritizing the safety of the emperor’s family was undoubtedly more important to them, even if the person in front of them was the goddess Bercheria.
“Bercheria, please step aside. It’s difficult for us if you interfere since we’re taking the criminal away.”
But Bercheria had a reason to prevent this situation.
She knew why Kellita had behaved like this.
Two days later, it would be a supplementary means to threaten Lachrahan into not refusing the marriage with her.
Wyatt would appropriately be sacrificing himself accordingly.
As Bercheria looked at Wyatt, he met her with an unjust expression.
With Kellita following, her dress torn, and Wyatt caught in that room.
‘If it’s a crime of sexually harassing the princess of the palace, there would be nothing to say even if he were executed on the spot… But that’s not important to me right now.’
Bercheria sighed quietly, unnoticed by anyone.
“Please step aside. Even if you’re Bercheria, you can’t stop now. I’m sorry.”
As the palace guards tried to push Bercheria aside and move forward, suddenly, like smoke pouring from the sky, mist rushed in.
Bercheria stopped them by grabbing their ankles with the dense mist.
Then, she alone pierced through the mist and walked toward Kellita.
As the distance narrowed, her heart pounded, and blood pulsed through her entire body.
‘Now I’m sure.’
Who the person inside the shell named Kellita is.
And why she is enduring and standing here.
Bercheria subtly turned her head and confirmed the presence of Empress Laurence, who had followed her alone, having shared the conversation until a while ago.
‘Everything is clear now.’
As the distance between Kellita and Bercheria got closer, the fog thickened even more.
No one nearby could see the two of them.
Bercheria approached Kellita.
“I recognize that expression.”
With Bercheria’s voice, Kellita looked at her with a surprised face.
“What are you talking about? Bercheria?”
She had just perfectly played the role of a woman who had been sexually harassed by someone.
Her eyes looked so innocent that tears were about to fall.
“Even if you pretend like that, it’s the same as my mother’s face that I remember. When my mother hit me or cursed me, she always smiled as if she was enjoying it. Now that I can’t see that face, it’s a pity.”
Kellita looked at Bercheria with narrowed eyes.
In the dense fog-covered background, Bercheria, with mysterious golden hair and a golden aura, was now so close that she could be reached.
“Both faces would look ugly to me anyway.”
“This arrogant…”
Kellita muttered unknowingly.
A long time ago.
So, when Bercheria was a child, whenever she stared at her like this, an indescribable sense of fear rose from deep inside.
The feeling of powerlessness and awe that a human should feel when looking at a god was a human instinct, but in front of her, Bercheria didn’t want to admit it.
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.
