With a rustling sound, the presence vanished. Lescale, who had been blocking La Silia’s ears slightly, confirmed that the humans outside, who had been awkwardly loitering, had disappeared, then put his hand down.
“Hmm……”
La Silia, as if about to wake up, tossed her body lightly. Lescale momentarily held his breath and stopped moving.
Fortunately, La Silia mumbled, rolled over for a moment, and then fell back into a deep sleep.
Relieved, Lescale carefully tidied La Silia’s scattered hair on the pillow. When even touching her hair didn’t wake her up, his gestures became a bit bolder.
Even touching her cheek lightly didn’t wake La Silia. Satisfied, Lescale gently touched her cheek.
It was still hard to believe.
The time spent with La Silia today.
When La Silia suggested setting a date and mentioned preparations, he was frightened, wondering if it was okay to believe.
“…….”.
The lips of the sleeping La Silia appeared rose-colored instead of their usual apricot color.
Thinking about what her lips had done to him just a while ago, his mind went blank. How many times had it touched his skin and allowed his lips to swallow it?
Closing his eyes tightly, the La Silia who willingly embraced his neck felt so beautiful that he felt his heart stop several times.
He probably hadn’t understood the meaning of words like happiness or heaven until now. Only in that moment could he finally understand what people meant by heaven.
Heaven was where the heart stopped. Simultaneously, it was where one wished for the heart never to stop.
Because nothing should come to an end.
So, Lescale cautiously rose from the bed.
His graceful and light movements didn’t touch La Silia at all. After stifling the sound of footsteps, Lescale opened the bedroom door slightly and called Decan through the Imperial Guards standing guard.
Decan appeared promptly.
As it happened, he was preparing to return after arranging to hand over the body to the Mage Guild.
“Quiet.”
Lescale greeted him without a word and met him with the bedroom door minimally open.
Without a greeting, Decan just nodded silently.
“Do you know why the prince of Delarta is still lingering around?”
“According to the words of Sir Sigres, it seems he requested financial support from the Pielion family. Since Her Majesty referred to him as a guest, it is assumed that she personally promised him funds.”
“Is he in debt?”
“Her Majesty seems to believe that King Verhoiet died because she didn’t disclose the prophecy.”
“Good.”
“…….”.
Decan silently waited for Lescale’s next words after a slightly strange remark. Lescale disliked unnecessary words and only said what was necessary.
Among the people who thought Lescale spoke strangely, only La Silia was there. And she wasn’t entirely wrong. Lescale was the only one who wanted to use forced language, especially towards La Silia.
“Bring the money now. One million… no, ten million Kreons.”
“Yes?”
Decan was startled by the unexpected amount.
“With that amount of money, it’s not a civil war but the empire could wage a war, Your Majesty.”
“So there’s no reason to refuse. There’s no reason for them to come back. Take the money and leave immediately.”
“I will follow your command. …But shouldn’t we also consider Her Majesty’s intentions in this matter?”
Funding support was acceptable, even if it wasn’t in the early morning.
If La Silia had already promised support and Lescale intercepted, making it appear as if he was driving away the prince of Delarta, La Silia might feel uncomfortable.
“Right now, Ryan is probably confronting the prince of Delarta.”
“What? …Why?”
“Because the prince of Delarta just loitered around here a moment ago. Like a rat.”
An alert expression rose on Lescale’s expressionless face. Decan twitched his shoulder.
“Why on earth would he do such a thing… I don’t understand. Her Majesty has already welcomed them as guests. Until just now, those who became guests seemed to have no ill feelings.”
“It’s probably the opposite.”
As Lescale finished speaking, he bared his teeth.
Decan had never seen Lescale’s face, who was so displeased, until now.
“That opposite means, could it be to Her Majesty…?”
“Don’t let them step foot here again. Confirm that they’re leaving the borders. If necessary, use the Mage Guild.”
It was also annoying when the time to extinguish the lights came through words, so it meant to use spells or magic circles to send them away quickly.
“Understood, Your Majesty.”
According to the words heard from Serben and Ryan respectively, the prince of Delarta said that his attitude towards the former prophet was excessive. Considering that both warned not to relax surveillance, there was a reason.
The fact that he loitered around the vicinity of the queen’s bedroom at midnight was a reason enough not to tolerate him any longer.
“I’ll take care of it now. …Oh, but if there is a conflict with the Chief Knight of the Imperial Guard, shouldn’t it be resolved according to imperial law?”
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.
