“And I also heard exactly what the Princess of Wessex mentioned last night.”
Reynald’s world spun as he hadn’t expected his actions to come back to haunt him like this. His eyes bulged in shock as he turned to look at the First Prince.
“George, you… Brother, Brother?”
Reynald was utterly confused.
At that moment, Miley crafted a plausible script mixing lies and truths.
“Your Majesty must remember the earthquake that shook the palace last night. At that time, I was brought to the palace in a carriage sent by Prince Reynald.”
“Why did you send a carriage to Miley, Reynald?”
“That’s…”
Unable to give a proper response, Reynald floundered. Admitting to sending the carriage could not possibly be turned to his advantage.
The King sighed in apparent frustration, and Reynald felt suffocated, almost preferring to feign fainting to escape the situation.
Miley then chimed in, not giving Reynald any room to breathe.
“You must be hesitating to mention the reason for sending the carriage in this setting, to avoid further insulting the Princess of Wessex, right?”
Reynald remained silent, unable to utter a word. Overwhelmed by the circumstances, he couldn’t think of a way out of the trap.
Between last evening and dawn, the situation had turned so unfavorably that he couldn’t comprehend how Miley managed to negotiate with the First Prince and orchestrate this predicament.
Even if Reynald were to reveal that he is Adrian Rains, it wouldn’t benefit him. Miley’s statements would only gain more credibility.
In this dire situation, Miley played his final card to corner Reynald.
“Your Majesty, the wise King. When I arrived at the shaking building last night, Princess Laila of Wessex was already collapsed in disarray. Ah, but please don’t misunderstand. It seemed she fell due to the building’s tremor.”
Laila felt a tinge of gratitude for Miley defending her.
“And here, Prince Reynald, who is present, returned to a room that had briefly calmed from the fire and searched for the Princess. This was before Princess Laila and I escaped the room.”
Miley had clearly seen Reynald smear ashes on his face and clothes when he entered the room, pretending to search for Laila.
He instantly realized what Reynald was up to.
Perhaps Reynald intended to act as a man distraught over losing his fiancée.
Seeing his irrational behavior, Miley had reacted a bit excessively yesterday.
But was there really a need to restrain himself in front of such trash?
Reynald’s loss of control only solidified Miley’s plan further.
“Princess Laila of Wessex, who fainted at the scene, was almost treated like a hostage. I received a proposition from His Highness to hand over his fiancée, Princess Laila, for a more favorable deal.”
“Don’t lie, you bastard…”
Reynald muttered under his breath, but his words hardly carried any weight now.
The King, with a calm gaze, listened to Miley without interruption until the end.
“As you can see from the content… I was coerced into writing contracts heavily favorable to His Highness under Prince Reynald’s cowardly threats.”
As Miley finished, the First Prince handed the two contracts to the King.
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.
