She admitted it herself. Well, with everyone in the Duke’s residence under investigation, there was no one to help her. It was natural for her to step forward, especially since she wouldn’t have anyone else to turn to if she received help and caught the Emperor’s attention.
‘Even though she can’t enter the Duke’s residence, she looks so splendid… Perhaps she hasn’t realized her situation yet.’
Well, if she had properly understood her situation, she wouldn’t have come to me and done something foolish.
I thought of her with a wry smile.
During this time, she seemed to have lived without any visible signs of hardship. She lived freely and joyfully.
While my son, Rodelo, seemed to be immersed in daily concerns, appearing sad from time to time, the human called Mom seemed completely unaffected. That made me even angrier.
Parents are supposed to be guides to help their children grow, not to treat them as possessions and handle them like objects just because they gave birth to them.
“Empress Mama?”
“Uh…?”
“Are you okay?”
At Caritos’s uneasy gaze, my tightly clenched hand was visible, pale from the pressure.
“I got a little… excited thinking about something. Meeting disguised as a coincidence, something like that. Ironically. So, she followed along with the words of protection.”
“Yes. That seems to be the case.”
“The temple is free for others to come and go, making it easy to protect and meet. It’s amusing. If it were me, I would hide and preserve my life until the end… The sight of persistently holding hands with those in power to observe the situation until the end is truly… amusing.”
Even if we hadn’t met like this, I would have thought the same.
“The temple is easily accessible to others, making it both easy to protect and meet. It’s quite amusing. If it were me, I would definitely hide and preserve my life until the end… persistently holding hands with those in power to observe the situation until the end is truly… amusing.”
Did she think it would go unnoticed if they met like that?
In the novel, everything seems to go according to her will, whether she’s foolishly begging like this or if there’s something more within. ‘It just seems foolish.’
They are fools who don’t know how to hide their emotions, fools who think everyone will bow down beneath their feet if they show a little fear. Those are the two siblings from the Duke’s residence.
‘Even if there’s another meaning, now it seems like a direct approach is the only option.’
“What should we do, Empress Mama?”
Lian reported that he couldn’t find traces of Beatrice. Perhaps he missed capturing her that day when she coincidentally went out, and the traces became even fainter. Even the wizards couldn’t find someone who used magic in the Imperial Palace.
And she wouldn’t use her power under any circumstances.
If she used her power one more time, they would immediately find out.
This was not an easy matter to overlook. Add to that the butler Bezelle.
“Eventually, the orphanage director will let go of that side.”
“Is that okay?”
“If she continues to hold onto Beatrice, she’ll realize that she’s putting herself in more danger. She knows she’s more precious than anyone else. Karitos should secure evidence that they continue to have a connection.”
“Is that enough?”
“Yes.”
I had no intention of easily overlooking the matter concerning that woman. Rather, I would accumulate more sins and thoroughly ruin her. I would make her regret and regret her every sin until she wanted to die in agony.
Both Lian and Rodelo were played with by that woman.
“Are… you okay?”
“Huh? Do I look okay?”
“Very? You seem really angry….?”
“Correct. Just thinking about that woman makes me nauseous to the point of regurgitating everything I ate before. But more importantly, Karitos.”
I turned my words hastily because if I kept going, I wouldn’t be able to control my anger.
“Yes.”
“How is the princess?”
“It’s difficult to say anything about her current condition.”
“Does she know who she is… does she think she’s an orphanage child?”
“No. In fact, that’s why… I brought Merkin to check.”
“Merkin?”
My head automatically tilted at the sudden words. Why would Merkin come out here? Maybe her condition wasn’t good. If her condition wasn’t good, it would be right to call a doctor. Why Merkin…?
Seeing my serious expression, Karitos quickly spoke, seemingly not wanting to misunderstand.
“It’s not that she’s in pain anywhere. Empress Mama.”
“Oh, if that’s the case, I’m relieved. I was worried she might be sick.”
Honestly, I wanted to run there now and check on her. I wanted to comfort her. I wanted to hug her, putting everything else aside.
My heart was so worried. Karitos seemed to notice my worry and scratched his head.
“I apologize for acting on my own without saying anything.”
“No, Karitos must have had a reason. I know you’re not someone who acts without any reason.”
“Thank you for saying that. Actually, there’s a somewhat uncomfortable aspect to it.”
“Uncomfortable?”
“I certainly investigated a child named Rachel last time. Based on the condition of the child at that time, I thought it was a very dangerous situation. Even with the passage of time, I thought it would be difficult to treat the mental aspect. It was like that on paper… but it was a bit strange when I actually met her.”
His reaction made me more uneasy.
“So, what’s going on?”
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.
