Once, the life force of the imperial knight who used to control the empire was extraordinary.
Anix shivered involuntarily.
“Do you think you can make such remarks in front of Duke Winters and just walk away?”
“I… I am Marquis Groban! If you do this to me, my younger sister…”
Even with the Marquis’s feeble protest, the Duke swung his sword mercilessly.
Anix couldn’t even scream; he fainted on the spot.
After a short while, the Duke, who was still hot-blooded, shouted with a stench of blood in the air.
“Ugh. Butler! Come and tie this guy up with a chair, then take him to that townhouse or whatever and dump him. Also, send a bill to the Emperor! He dared to provoke us!”
The butler chuckled, looking at the unconscious Anix.
‘How hot-tempered are these people in this household to start a fight?’
Nevertheless, it was fortunate that the Duke, who was favored by the Emperor, overlooked it.
“Oh, wait. Hold his head there for a moment.”
“Yes?”
The butler had a bad feeling, but as ordered, he firmly held onto Anix’s head.
“Don’t move.”
With that command, Duke Winters blew the blade of a small dagger and began to move quickly.
“Huh, done.”
Only Anix’s voluminous hair remained on the side of his temple.
“Duke, what on earth…”
“Throw that guy away and tell him. I specially sealed the pores with the blade.”
“What are you talking about?”
“As long as you don’t come to me and beg, not a single strand of hair will grow there for the rest of your life,” said the Duke.
Upon hearing the Duke’s words, the butler’s face turned pale. He looked at Anix, who had been stripped of something precious, with pitying eyes, thinking that he would never start a quarrel with these household members.
The New Year’s ceremony was just around the corner. Originally, it was an event that the Emperor and Empress should prepare for, but the Emperor delegated the work to Nathaniel.
As a result, Nathaniel, who was already busy enough, found his workload exponentially increased.
[Dash] Fortunately, you suggested Martin for the job.No matter how Nathaniel had abilities that far exceeded the limits of humans in handling tasks, it was a physically impossible amount.
[Dash] He may lack some social skills, but I’m relieved that he seems to handle the work well.Initially hesitant to delegate and rechecking everything himself, Nathaniel seemed to have gained quite a bit of trust in Martin.
‘Now is not the time to worry about others…….’
Looking at the mountain of documents in front of me, I closed my eyes quietly and thought.
‘It feels like preparing for a wedding.’
Getting married in spring meant preparing for a hunting competition in summer, a harvest festival in fall, and New Year’s ceremonies in winter.
In between, there were also receptions and tea parties to host.
“It’s too much work for a human.”
This New Year’s ceremony became even more troublesome with the absence of the Emperor and Empress, who had played a crucial role in the past. It was because the priests disliked Nathaniel. Even the high priests seemed to dislike him, and the sentiment trickled down to those below them. As a result, the progress of the work was painfully slow.
“Sigh… Let’s take a break for a moment.”
After spending the morning immersed in budget work, a break was much needed as it finally neared completion. Checking the time, it was soon the hour when Henry would visit.
‘Today, Nathaniel should be able to make time.’
Lately, Henry seemed to favor Nathaniel more than Anais, who used to always be with him. It was to the extent that Anais might feel disappointed. However, with Nathaniel’s increasing workload, the time spent with Henry had significantly decreased.
‘Alright.’
Today, I planned an ambitious scheme to take a walk, meet Anais and Henry, and then head to Nathaniel’s office.
I put on a cloak filled with feathers, wore gloves, and wrapped a scarf around my neck before heading outside. Luckily, the weather was good, and it wasn’t too cold.
“Ah, this feels refreshing.”
After a light stroll around the walking path, I felt invigorated. Stretching while heading towards the entrance where Anais and Henry would come in.
“Let go of this!”
“Hmm?”
In the distance, Anais and Henry were being held by someone. A man with long, tied-up red hair reaching down to his waist.
‘It’s Kilian Kye.’
I almost walked briskly, almost ran, and stood next to Anais.
“Ah, Lady Vi.”
Relief spread across Kilian’s face as he was the first to notice me. Anais, holding Henry’s hand behind me, quickly hid.
Though Anais covered her face, it was the first time I saw her dislike someone so openly.
“It’s been a while, Lord Kilian.”
“You arrived at the right time, Lady Vi. Please resolve my misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?”
“Lady here seems to think I have an undue interest in the child.”
“Child?”
I turned my gaze to Henry. Anais whispered in my ear.
“As soon as he saw Henry, he suddenly asked to hold hands and followed us here.”
“…….”
It was already enough to be labeled as a pervert.
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.
