Watching the scene where Valter disappeared from his memory and reunited with his father, receiving his acknowledgment, it seemed that tears welled up only for him.
Franz just chuckled when Valter made a proposal to grant the title of Agnas in front of the Emperor, although he was slightly surprised at the moment.
‘It seems there’s no way he sees it favorably since he’s the secret partner of my daughter’s secret affair.’
Lexion Duke’s loyalty to the Emperor was beyond doubt, but the current Duke seemed to be boiling inside.
“My daughter has been wandering, raising a child alone, and Your Majesty probably didn’t even know the existence of the bloodline during that time. I’m sure you didn’t even have time to feel emotional.”
Edith listened silently, then smiled and added.
“Still, Your Majesty is accepting Valter peacefully without exercising force at all.”
“……”
For a moment, Franz’s marrow tingled. Although he was speaking with a calm voice and smiling, Edith seemed to recall what happened during their first meeting and was thinking about it.
In front of Edith, there is the Emperor who cannot recognize his son and a father who cannot recognize his grandson, like measuring the height of an acorn.
‘No. I must be worse off for treating Edith, who has Adrian, unkindly.’
As Franz’s thoughts reached that point, he swallowed dry saliva. Regret was intense, but it was a task that couldn’t be done to treat past events as if they never happened.
“Oh, Adrian might be heavy; come here. I won’t complain to you anymore.”
“Thank you, Lord Franz.”
Edith looked at the struggling Franz and swallowed her laughter inwardly.
While Valter was making a secret proposal to the Emperor, the banquet for the knights continued.
“Your loyalty to His Majesty makes me feel secure.”
Claude greeted the knights. The knights who filled the banquet hall bowed their heads to him, although young, they showed a resolute attitude.
“Thank you, Lord Claude.”
After the knights moved away, Patricia quietly called Claude aside.
“Claude, show a little more authority. That way, they won’t think of you as the Crown Prince.”
“But…”
Claude’s words faded. Although he was still young, he naturally acquired power due to being born in the imperial palace.
‘I’m not the Crown Prince. I don’t want to be that way.’
The current Emperor, Agnas 14, was cold-blooded, without blood or tears. The reason he let Lexion’s bloodline live was that he inherited the blood of the Sun Emperor, and there was no rebellious spirit.
Mother said it was because she, as the Duchess of Goturk, and the imperial queen became so strong that she couldn’t be ignored, but Claude didn’t think so.
If his mother and her family had that much power, she would have pushed for the Crown Prince position sooner.
If his mother heard, she would be angry with her veins on her forehead, but Claude just liked the current state.
Being the highest person in a country and making a decision that could make everyone happy was something he could never do. The thought of it was terrifying and frustrating.
‘Could someone like Duke Lexion or Viscount Lexion do that kind of thing?’
When he first faced Duke Lexion, Claude thought he was as dignified as the portraits of past emperors hanging in the imperial corridors.
When he suddenly encountered Viscount Lexion, he opened his mouth slightly and even sighed. His appearance winning at the combat tournament seemed like a hero from a myth. Even after making decisions and taking responsibility, he seemed strong, and there was no way he would be discouraged by people’s cheers.
Although his mother, who was watching from a distance, praised his loyalty to the Emperor, the current Viscount seemed to be boiling inside.
“My daughter raised a child alone, wandered around, and your Majesty probably didn’t even know the existence of the bloodline during that time. I’m sure you didn’t even have time to feel emotional.”
Edith listened silently, then smiled and added.
“Still, Your Majesty is accepting Valter peacefully without exercising force at all.”
“……”
For a moment, Franz’s marrow tingled. Although he was speaking with a calm voice and smiling, Edith seemed to recall what happened during their first meeting and was thinking about it.
“Go now. It is something the next ruler should do, such as greeting people and getting familiar with their faces.”
After patting Claude’s tender shoulders twice, Patricia sat on the couch. After sipping a glass of champagne, something bothersome occurred.
‘As soon as the Emperor left, the people from the Lexion Duchy followed him.’
At that moment, someone approached her. It was Viscount Goturk, whose complexion was much worse than usual.
“Former Empress, it’s a big problem.”
Did a problem arise with the preparations made in advance? Wondering if they were planning some conspiracy, Patricia, puzzled, was whispered to by the Viscount.
“The maid Rosaline, whom you have been searching for all this time, seems to have been captured by the Lexion side.”
“What did you say?”
The girl who knows everything about me, why is she with Lexion?
Clang—
The champagne glass Patricia dropped made a loud noise as it shattered.
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.
