Evelia stopped Agares, who looked as though he would throw away the red beast into the forest at any moment.
“Don’t do that! It’s still an injured puppy!”
“It’s not a puppy.”
“It’s an injured animal!”
“It’s not an animal either.”
Even if left alone, it won’t die easily.
“So what is it?”
Instead of Evelia, who was hopping and reaching for the beast held high by Agares, Ludwig asked.
“…This is embarrassing.”
“Why would a devil be embarrassed?”
“Why would a baby rabbit be embarrassed?”
Becoming curious, Evelia also stopped running and looked up at Agares with a curious expression.
A quiet wind blew through the secret base.
Looking down at the two little ones, Agares opened his mouth with a rare awkward expression.
“It seems to be a dragon.”
The atmosphere froze awkwardly.
A moment of silence.
Then the beast in his hand covered its face with its little front paws.
As if it was revealing its identity.
Ludwig asked in despair.
“Why is a dragon appearing here?”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]It is a virtue of the ruler to not show signs of confusion easily.
However, both Agares and Ludwig could not maintain this virtue at this moment.
“Weren’t dragons extinct? A long time ago?”
Ludwig raised a question based on common sense.
“They are extinct.”
“But this is a dragon?”
“More precisely, it would be correct to say that it’s a halfdragon.”
Evelia also chimed in.
“The dragons I saw in the picture book looked hard. But this one has fluffy fur.”
“How did you confirm that this is a dragon?”
“Energy. The biggest components that make up a dragon are physical and existential.”
“What is existential?”
When the little friend giggled, Agares kindly added an explanation.
“You call the power to summon spirits nature. The power of the devil is called dominance. It’s similar. The power of dragons in the past was called existence.”
Spirits are based on nature, devils use dominance as power, and dragons have reached the top simply by existing.
“But this dragon’s existence is vague. There is an impurity mixed with the ones I encountered in the past.”
Agares stretched out the beast and continued.
“Even its appearance. As our little friend said, I’ve never seen a dragon that’s this small and fluffy.”
The dragon held in Agares’ hand fluffed up as if protesting that it is indeed a dragon, in response to the seemingly disparaging remark.
As if it was protesting that it was indeed a dragon.
Seeing this, Agares gave a faint smile.
It was once called the strongest creature on the ground. Its status will not fall in an instant just because it has a bit of impurity.
Even if it is small, even if it is insignificant, even if its energy is not that strong.
“But a dragon is a dragon. This existence cannot be denied.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Neither Evelia nor Ludwig suspected that it was an extraordinary creature, but they could not even guess that it was a ‘dragon’.
They were looking at the strongest creature on the ground, which has been extinct and is now only handed down through pictures and oral stories.
‘Of course, it doesn’t look like the strongest creature on the ground at all, as it’s very small and fluffy.’
After blinking for a while, Evelia opened her mouth.
“There are no more dragons now. Where will this one go?”
“Just leave it alone. We don’t know where it came from or what it’s going through, but it will recover and live on its own.”
“Is it still a baby dragon?”
“……Indeed.”
“Just like me and the rabbit, it’s a baby.”
“……I’m not a baby, but if you say so.”
“But you want to abandon it?”
Evelia’s eyes filled with sorrow as if she had been wronged.
“Sigh……”
Agares let out a soft sigh.
An extinct creature appeared, carrying an unfamiliar form and strange energy.
It was clearly an unusual situation.
As a young dragon, one might think that there would be no issues with it being under the care of the Duke Arital and himself, but the devil, who had lived for a long time, had a hunch.
‘I think I’m getting caught up in a troublesome matter.’
On the other hand, the small dragon, sensing the mood of being abandoned, lightly tapped Evelia’s shoulder and put on a bit of a show.
With its red ears pricked up, its abundant tail swishing, and its small wings fluttering.
The affection of the dragon, who had perfectly understood the hierarchy of this secret base, was effective.
“The rabbit is stronger than this dragon, right?”
“That’s right.”
“I have the rabbit. Even if this turns out to be a bad dragon, the rabbit will keep me safe. Right?”
“……You handle me quite well.”
With the words that were practically an affirmation falling, Evelia laughed and declared.
“I will make it my sibling.”
The red beast perked its head up.
Its wings fluttered busier, and its tail swished incessantly.
Agares and Ludwig looked at this with an expression that seemed disgusted.
‘The socalled strongest creature on earth. What’s it fluttering about so mindlessly?’
‘……Cunning dust ball.’
“What should we name it? We can’t keep calling it dragon, dragon.”
Ludwig and Agares immediately answered.
“Flutter.”
“Fuzzball.”
“……Roar.”
For the first time, the little dragon showed its teeth.
Even though I am the only dragon. Flutter and Fuzzball are too common.
“Why do you give such strange names to the dragon when you guys have cool names like baby rabbit and food thief?”
Hearing the words baby rabbit and food thief, the little dragon’s body vibrated.
Our names are cool? With two flabbergasted rulers in front of her, Evelia opened her mouth after some contemplation.
“Uhm…… Okay. Enril. I will call it Enril.”
“Do you know what that means?”
“I just said it because I liked the feel of it. Does it have a meaning?”
‘Yeah, like you would know.’
Enril. In ancient language, it means ‘fear’.
She named it quite aptly for being clueless.
She named the teddy bear as Gomchi or something like that.
“Baby dragon, no, Enril must be hungry. I will bring some snacks. Just a moment!”
Evelia ran towards the food storage of the cabin.
Once they saw their small friend entering the cabin, Agares spat out a sharp voice to Ludwig, looking at the small dragon with cold eyes.
“You. Aren’t you properly managing the palace? Why did you let the little one pick up something like that?”
“……I am ashamed.”
“Roar.”
“What are you roaring for? Just because you’re a dragon? Open your eyes properly before you unknowingly catch a rat or bird. Don’t stick to my friend.”
At the words ‘my’ friend, Ludwig immediately reacted.
“My friend.”
It was the usual childish quarrel.
“It’s my friend. You are just a secret base sharer.”
“How can a devil and a human be friends?”
“How can a crown prince and a princess be friends?”
“I am not such a rigid ruler.”
“I am a devil without prejudice.”
And while the heated argument was in progress.
Tap tap.
Someone tapped their shoulders.
They thought that their little friend who was the subject of the argument had quickly returned with snacks, but the one they saw was not the overflowing small friend but another being.
A boy who looked about six years old with deep red hair.
The vacant pupils seen between halfopen eyes made the boy more dreamy.
Before the two rulers could even grasp the situation, an unexpected faint voice flowed from the boy’s mouth.
The battle for the position of best friend between the devil and the crown prince, which had been going on for 3 years after meeting Evelia.
The undeveloped dragon declared its participation in the battle.
“……She’s my sister.”
What?
“……She’s my benefactor.”
“…….”
“…….”
“It seems like the word ‘mine’ was particularly clear just now. It’s not my imagination, is it?”
“Ha, would you look at this kid?”
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.
