“Before the ship sets sail, there is still time. I hope you will reconsider. I may not be able to fully keep the promise to help you and your daughter.”
Leve disappeared from the reception room without even looking back at Mariela and Elysia.
Saviel drank alone until the break of dawn.
“My child…”
Saviel suddenly stood up.
“How dare he take a child without my permission.”
Isn’t it the duty of women to be careful not to conceive? When he recalled the woman who clung to him in the park without shame, Saviel felt dirty.
A few hours ago, he had given orders to his subordinates.
“Throw her tied up into the mountains. The wild beasts there will take care of her.”
The drinking session he started alone since the dawn of the day had not yet ended.
“Why isn’t the report coming?”
With the sudden thought of Karina, Saviel’s appetite faded, and he called his subordinate.
“Who is missing!”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
The subordinate who rushed in and kneeled on the floor, Saviel muttered sullenly.
“Did that woman get what she deserved?”
At Saviel’s words, the subordinate hesitated for a moment.
He had been the prince’s personal tutor since childhood. However, in recent years, as Saviel, tormented by madness, became more and more unpredictable, the subordinate feared him.
Can you hide the crime and cover the sky?
The sins committed by the prince will catch up with him someday.
The forest keepers, an elderly couple, who escaped from Prince Saviel after rescuing Elysia from Lake Lorel for the charge of death, were secretly sent to the border area.
The couple, who mourned as if the world had come to an end because they had to leave their longtime home, left with hope in their children’s happy faces as they received a large sum of gold. Of course, they issued a strict order to keep everything they saw and heard in the Emerald Palace a secret.
If their mouths so much as twitched somewhere, a counter-threat would be issued immediately, saying that the prince’s command might be carried out at any time.
But now was a difficult moment.
To throw away a woman who claimed to be pregnant with his child into the mountainous wilderness.
Just imagining it made him feel nauseous.
Yet, there was no regret on his face.
The expression on the Crown Prince’s face, cruel and ruthless, who wanted to know if the incident had occurred as he had ordered, made it impossible for the subordinate to reveal the truth.
“That woman was left in a remote mountain at the entrance of the Larkan Mountains, a path leading to the gorge. It’s a place where bears and wolves often appear.”
“You’ve tied her securely so she can’t escape, right?”
“Of course.”
“Good. You did well.”
Under Saviel’s ‘praise,’ the subordinate seemed to be choking on his breath.
“Pour more drinks.”
“Yes.”
The forehead of the subordinate stepping back from the Crown Prince was covered in glistening sweat.
Karina, brimming with energy, looked even more beautiful today. The gaze of Elysion, as he gazed at the lady, was notably affectionate.
“Do you think you can go back to the Harington Viscount?”
“I can’t go back to the viscount… It’s impossible.”
For reasons unknown, Karina pleaded with him not to contact her at the viscount’s residence. It seemed to be a good thing for Elysion himself.
“If you wish, you can stay here as long as you want.”
Speaking with sincere intentions, Elysion made Karina wear an expression of disbelief.
“…Really?”
“This room is prepared for you.”
“This room?”
Karina widened her eyes and looked around.
“It’s the Duchess’s room.”
“Yes?”
Karina made a dumbfounded sound.
“Why would the Duchess’s room be given to me?”
“Because you are precious to me.”
When he said that with a touch of affection, Karina expressed disbelief.
“What about, Marquis Uter’s Yeonga? I thought you had feelings for her.”
“Marquis Uter’s Yeonga? Who’s that?”
“Elysia Uter, Miss.”
As Elysion tilted his head, his black hair fell to one side, revealing a smooth forehead. Underneath, the vivid red eyes conveyed a sense of unease. The way his lips twitched suggested something unsettling. He was a fatally handsome man. Karina, unknowingly, stared at him as if enchanted.
Meanwhile, Elysion felt something emerging from the depths of his memory.
It seemed like he had a similar conversation before.
“…Li… Yeonga is a beautiful and intelligent person.”
“You mentioned it too. You’re looking for someone. Found her, but only halfway. I thought it might be … Li … Yeonga. If you make time to talk, I thought you might like it…”
“…Me.”
“The name of the woman I’m looking for.”
A memory with an unclear name.
Was it Elysia Yeonga?
“I really didn’t know why I came to see Yeonga every day.”
“His Highness, you have no experience in love. I thought you were asking for help.”
“How can I make you believe that I came to see you? Do I need to write a marriage proposal for you to believe it’s sincere?”
“M-marriage proposal?”
There was a time when Karina pretended not to be Rina.
Even when her ears burned, she was too adorable during that time.
“Even when the child was burning, it was a time when she was so lovely that I didn’t know what to do. Elysion, who vividly recalled the conversation they had at that time, threw a dazzling smile.
“You’ve been like this before, and here you go again. This time, I really should give you a marriage proposal.”
“Me? What do you mean by ‘I’m the one’? More importantly, what are you talking about?”
Elysion chuckled. Without a doubt, his lover had a weak memory. It was unbelievable that she couldn’t remember the stories they had shared.
Although he should feel upset, seeing it as charming made Elysion think he was definitely crazy about this woman.
Elysion quietly took Karina’s hand.
Gracefully, but with a touch of affection, he pressed his lips to the back of her hand.
“I want to do something more than this, but I’ll endure until you allow it.”
Clank.
At the sound of the teapot clashing, Elysion and Karina simultaneously turned their heads. Locking eyes with Elysia, who stood by the door holding a tray with a teapot, they froze.
Elysion shot her a cold look.
“How rude, entering without even knocking.”
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.
