Ranamun lived in a room separated from Klein, how could he have witnessed the thief who ransacked Klein’s room? While this point was indeed puzzling, Latil first asked about the culprit.
“Who is it?”
“Who do you think it is? It must be that fool Guesta.”
As Klein gritted his teeth, Latil sent him a signal to ‘be quiet’ and signaled Ranamun to answer. Ranamun paused for a moment before speaking.
“It’s Carlein.”
Latil’s eyes widened.
“Carlein? Really?”
Even if Ranamun had said it was someone else, she wouldn’t have been this surprised. But Carlein? It was shocking for reasons she didn’t quite understand.
He was someone she had barely seen, but Carlein, the king of mercenaries, somehow had a strong sense of being beyond this world.
“I don’t know whether he is the culprit or not. I only saw him leaving.”
When Latil seemed too shocked, Ranamun added in a cold voice.
“……”
Latil furrowed her brows and then gave an order to her attendants.
“Call for Carlein.”
[This is the time separator]Latil entered a nearby room and pulled over a chair to sit down.
For some reason, Klein had a moved look on his face and was unusually quiet next to Latil. He seemed pleased that Latil was trying to find the talisman for him.
On the other hand, Ranamun had a gloomy face and kept checking the time on his pocket watch. As if thinking, ‘Why do I have to be involved in this pointless affair?’
After waiting for a while, Carlein finally appeared. He had probably been briefed hastily on the situation, but Carlein, who came in through the open door, had the same expression as usual.
As soon as Carlein came to her side, Latil asked without waiting for him to greet her.
“Carlein. Did you steal the talisman from Klein’s room?”
Even when Latil asked a question that could have upset him, Carlein responded calmly.
“I’ve heard the situation. But I’ve never been in his room.”
His voice was not sharp, but it was enough to provoke Ranamun.
Ranamun looked at his pocket watch and then closed it. The sound of the lid closing was similar to a sharp scissor cutting patience. As soon as the silver watch disappeared from sight, Ranamun, raising one corner of his mouth, asked Carlein.
“So, are you saying I lied to Her Majesty?”
Despite the cold voice, as if ice was dropping, Carlein replied bluntly.
“It seems that way.”
“I just told her what I saw.”
“You should see things properly if you have eyes, Ranamun.”
Is this something that men, who were playing chess together a short while ago, should be saying? Before Latil could properly question them, Ranamun and Carlein began a sharp mental battle, and she blinked her eyes, feeling like a mere spectator.
Moreover, both men, who were having a conversation, did not seem like people who would lie, which was even more perplexing.
Meanwhile, Klein was murmuring “My talisman. My talisman.” next to them.
“Wait a moment.”
Latil raised her hand to stop Ranamun and Carlein. Once the two of them stopped their argument, Latil asked them one by one.
“Ranamun. Are you sure you saw Carlein? Carlein. Are you sure you didn’t go in?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“I detest things like talismans, master.”
Next to them, Klein, who was shaking his shoulders, screamed.
“Then where did my talisman go!”
“Prince, calm down. Calm down.”
Next to Klein, the attendant was hurriedly fanning him to soothe him. The surroundings were chaotic, and Latil felt a headache and closed her eyes and pressed her temples.
“Do either of you have evidence? Ranamun?”
“……No.”
“Carlein. What about you?”
“I don’t have any.”
Latil finally asked Klein as well.
“Klein. Are you sure you lost it? You didn’t drop it in your room or anything?”
“No!”
When Klein cried out in protest, Aksian, who was next to him, explained calmly on behalf of the excited prince.
“We searched the room with Vanildo for half a day, but it was definitely not there.”
Latil sighed and finally called for the security chief of the area.
“Chief. Search all the rooms in the harem and find the talisman Klein lost.”
“Yes. I… what about the ladies’ rooms……”
“Tell them it’s my order and ask for their permission.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
When the captain of the guard left, Latil asked Klein,
“Are you a bit satisfied now?”
Klein was still frowning, but after a moment of thought, he soon relaxed his expression and nodded. Then hesitated and gently took Latil’s hand, and he smiled proudly.
“Look at this, would you?” When Latil looked down at the large hand that covered her own, Klein put more strength into his hand, holding it tightly and whispered with a happy face.
“I’m so glad you’ve sided with me.”
‘Not that I’ve taken any sides…….’
Unable to say that to Klein who lost a precious item and looked sad, Latil nodded her head and laughed along.
“Yes, if you’re happy, then that’s fine.”
Klein didn’t stop there, he gently rested his head on Latil’s shoulder. His natural skinship made Klein’s attendant cover his mouth in admiration.
On the other hand, Ranamun and Carlein’s expressions gradually darkened.
[This is the time separator]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.
