“Ah… yes. I understand.”
A bit flustered by the sudden situation, Cherti nodded a moment late.
First, I had to get her out of here. If the air is so dry that my throat stings every time I breathe… In the end, it’s definitely not a positive force. There was only one thing that came to mind.
“Then, please wait a moment.”
“You can come slowly. I want to feel more alone time.”
“Oh, that’s what you mean. I see. Understood.”
As if she had misunderstood my words in a somewhat firm manner, she nodded her head. It was actually fortunate. If she didn’t come out…
Knowing that this situation is dangerous, she probably wouldn’t come in.
And then I instinctively felt it.
‘The time has come.’
Around the time when I sent Cherti inside, I was sure. This is a power I’ve already experienced. What Beatrice, Ruedello’s mother, said was definitely not true.
Having a profound hatred towards Star Palace, for someone who has already experienced it. And as I got closer, I sensed a horribly foul smell, almost like the stench from a dead person’s corpse…
“Ron.”
That thought filled my mind.
As expected, the prediction was spot on.
“…Why are you alone?”
Ron appeared. But as he approached me, he looked around hastily. He must be looking for Ken.
“This is my palace. Wouldn’t it be fine for me to be alone?”
“Hyung, where’s my brother?”
“Your brother? Well, where could he be?”
That’s when it happened.
People you hope wouldn’t come always show up at times like this. Just like now.
“Ron…?”
Of all times, why did he have to come back now?
Despite Hwangdohju’s words, I thought he should come, but at the same time, I was worried.
With the power Sehelus gave me, couldn’t I handle this alone?
Shortly after talking to Ron, Ruedello and Shasha returned as well.
The situation was getting worse.
“Shasha, Ruedello. Where are Merkin and Haven?”
“The two… they said it’s time to go back on the way. But, Unnie. What’s going on?”
Shasha’s voice, who quickly sensed that something was strange, trembled.
But Ron, as if he didn’t care about us, laughed like a madman and suddenly hardened his expression.
“Hyung… why are you alone?”
“I’m… having fun. I… I’m still doing well. I… I…”
“…What are you talking about? Let’s go outside and talk separately. This is Star Palace. It’s where Queen Mama, Crown Prince, and Lady Shanshia are.”
“I don’t want to. Why do I have to go out?!”
“Ron.”
“I don’t want to. I don’t want to. Why do I always have to be kicked out? Why? Why does everything always exclude me? Why can’t I do anything?!”
“I never said you can’t. Just… now is not the time for you to be here.”
As if showing in real-time what it means for a person to go mad, Ron’s voice became increasingly gloomy. It was such a strange voice that it didn’t feel like a human speaking.
“No, no, no. Why? Why? Why is it always hyung’s words that are right? Why? Because I was born as your brother? Hyung always wished for me to die inside. Then I wouldn’t be a twin, and people wouldn’t point fingers at me. Right? Isn’t that right? So, always looking down on me, treating me the way you want. Isn’t that right?”
“No.”
“Exactly! It’s true! Why do you think I’m an ignorant fool who knows nothing? Thanks to ‘that person,’ I know everything. Your feelings, Hyung!”
I had expected this moment to come someday. Since I would have to see the end of Ron, whether I returned him to his original state or stopped him.
But I didn’t wish for this. I didn’t want to hurt Ken’s feelings with such words… I really didn’t.
What kind of emotions did Ken harbor towards Ron? What decision did he make to save Ron?
“Ron, stop it. Ken’s feelings…”
But it seemed like Ron only heard Ken’s voice. Despite my attempts to intervene, he was busy speaking only his own words. Seeing that, Ken lowered his head.
“Ha… I’m sorry, Queen Mama. I’ll take him out.”
Ken approached his younger brother step by step. However, as Ken approached, Ron, frighteningly, pushed him away. In an instant, Ken’s body was pushed aside as if by some force.
“Ugh…”
In agony, Ken held his abdomen and even curled up.
“Ron, what on earth are you…”
“Why. Are you going to kill me? But you can’t kill me. Can’t kill me! I am not someone that can be killed by someone like my brother. It’s going well. It’s going well. Without my brother… I can… I can… live, right? If my brother dies, it’ll be fine.”
Now he crossed the line. As soon as I felt that, I turned my gaze towards Shasha.
“Shasha!”
Shasha, who was staring at us absentmindedly, widened her eyes when I called her.
“Shasha, take Ruedello and go inside. Quickly!”
“B-But Unnie…!”
“I’ll be fine.”
“Shasha will protect Ruedello. Protecting a friend is a more admirable thing. Got it? And… Ron’s threat is not directed at us. It’s Ken’s. So, hurry.”
But Shasha, who wouldn’t easily accept such words, wasn’t there.
“I don’t want to. I’ll protect Unnie. I don’t want to lose Unnie.”
“Don’t worry, Shasha. I’ve become stronger than anyone now. Shasha knows, right?”
There’s no way she doesn’t know. Shasha, who recognized the power Sehelus gave me.
“But… but still…!”
“So trust me, Shasha.”
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.
