“Huh?”
“It’s not okay.”
“…….”
“It still hurts a lot.”
I lowered my eyes to examine Ian’s complexion. His face had regained its original color, and his fever had subsided, but he was still in pain?
“The fever has gone down…….”
“If you continue like this, Senior, you may develop a fever again.”
Ian was looking up at me with droopy eyes. Then, he made a somewhat stiff movement and grabbed my head.
Is he pretending to be sick now?
I suppressed a burst of laughter as I looked at his anxious face.
Who would have thought that Ian, who was known in the original work as an unbreakable man, would have this mischievous side?
“I didn’t mean I wanted to go home.”
“Yes?”
If his intention was to weaken my resolve, then he had succeeded in any case. I pulled up Ian’s halflowered blanket and replied,
“I was planning to stay at the accommodation tonight too. I thought your condition had improved a bit, so I was going to get something to drink…….”
Ian’s lips, which were blinking slowly, opened slightly.
“Then please go.”
“You said it might cause a fever again.”
Was it because my voice was tinged with laughter that Ian blushed as he answered?
“It will be fine for a moment.”
Ian’s mother died early, and his father, the Emperor, held the highest position in the empire, so he had no one to care for him freely.
Showing me this behavior meant that he felt comfortable around me…….
If I continue to build trust like this, won’t I be able to avoid the worst ending as in the original work?
“Aren’t you going?”
“Do you want me to go now?”
“No, there’s no reason for that.”
A gentle smile spread across his face. I stared at his face filled with laughter and suddenly remembered Daisy’s monologue in the original work, where she couldn’t see even a trace of Ian’s smile after the punishment ceremony.
“Hey, Klein…….”
“Speak, please.”
I wanted to ask if he knew about the curse of coming to the imperial family, but my lips wouldn’t move.
In the original work, Daisy didn’t ignore the word ‘curse’ that came from Ian’s mouth and tried to find out what the curse was but never found out.
The more accurate expression was that no one knew about the curse.
If I brought up words whose source I couldn’t clearly identify, the trust I’d built up might collapse.
“No, it’s nothing.”
The thought that the Ian I’m facing now might change somehow made my heart constrict.
I’ve read the original work so many times, but it’s not helping, and I don’t even have proper information.
At the moment when a sudden sense of doubt and powerlessness was about to engulf me, Ian asked in a faint voice,
“How was the duel?”
“Ah, the duel…….”
I had a duel today.
Reflecting on it, the day felt unusually long. What was surprising anew was that the day was not yet over.
“They said he was a skilled knight.”
“Skilled? What’s that?”
“Isn’t it?”
I shook my head as I answered,
“He was much weaker and slower than you. Especially in his attacking posture, he showed many weaknesses, but it’s not like he didn’t have any strengths…….”
“Senior.”
“Huh?”
“I think I’m getting a fever again.”
“A fever?”
You’re not pretending to be sick, are you?
I hesitated for a moment and then placed my hand above Ian’s forehead. It was warm, but more like a mild fever.
“Do you have a headache again, although it’s a mild fever?”
Ian closed his eyes slightly and replied,
“It feels better because it’s cool.”
“Really? Then you should be soaking linen in cold water instead of doing this…….”
As I hurriedly tried to pull my hand away, Ian lightly pressed the back of my hand.
“I prefer your hand, Senior.”
At this rate, it might become a habit.
Wait a minute? When I read a book about aura, I heard that it has selfhealing abilities. Could it be that it’s not just selfhealing but healing others as well? Is that why he prefers my touch?
이안의 입가에 어린 희미한 미소를 발견한 나는 그의 이마를 가볍게 다독였다.
“Sleep a bit more.”
“Will you stay beside me?”
“Yes, I will.”
[Star Icon]After confirming that Ian had fallen into a deep sleep, I put on my robe and came out of the room. The rain had stopped, but the clouds were covering the moonlight.
Such a dark night provided a great opportunity to practice aura without being caught by anyone.
I passed through the training hall located in the deepest part of the knight’s compound and entered a dark forest path, slowly drawing my sword.
Even in broad daylight, there were few who came this far, and at this late hour, there would be even fewer.
“This is the ideal place.”
Glancing around the pitchdark surroundings, I began to manipulate the aura with a somewhat eased heart.
The aura within my body was still unstable and rough. It was also intense, flaring up as if it was uncontrollable.
It was clearly different from the aura that Rosebelia had sensed.
At first, it was faint, and then gradually, I sensed more of 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.
