Kallail originally has a quiet personality and takes good care of people around him. So, in a awkward situation, he simply extended a helping hand to Freyrie, and Freyrie thanked him as if he had known him for a long time.
‘Suspicious.’
It was strange to anyone. I heard it clearly with both ears, and Ronowe and Veris also tilted their heads. Considering this level, it was natural for Kallail to hesitate and have a puzzled expression.
Moreover, Sasha looked at Kallail, and for a while, with eyes containing not-so-positive emotions, as if saying, ‘What did I just hear?’
Looking at Freyrie for a bit won’t hurt him, and it won’t disappear, so I don’t understand why he’s acting like that.
“I made a mistake in my words.”
Meanwhile, Freyrie, with his left hand covering one cheek, said embarrassedly.
“I meant to say that you’re kind.”
Laughing with a giggle, Freyrie continued.
“As I’ve only had conversations with family for a long time, talking with others is not familiar to me. Sometimes, words come out wrong.”
‘A simple slip of the tongue?’
I felt the balloon of doubt inflating and amplifying.
‘It didn’t feel like a simple mistake. The wording was completely different.’
Whether they’re fools or acting.
‘The person who said it would know better than anyone.’
It seemed quite skillful to blurt it out deliberately, package it as a mistake, and pretend it didn’t happen. I strongly felt the thought that Freyrie might be an accomplice like Sasha.
“Lady, I will prepare a new tea for you.”
“Yes.”
In the meantime, I witnessed a rare scene.
‘What’s this again?’
Although Sasha is taking care of Freyrie so much as he was severely hurt, this was unexpected.
‘Is Sasha now keeping quiet, watching Freyrie to see if he does something?’
Glancing at Freyrie’s face, he seemed to have something to say, but he kept his lips tight, and it seemed like he was not just trying to grasp the other person’s feelings but properly watching.
“Squawk!”
Thinking it was nothing special, I reached out casually for cookies, and at that moment, I heard Pobby crying from below.
“Why? Do you want a cookie?”
“Squawk, squa-eck!”
Turning my head to find where he was, Pobby, who had walked to a close position, was now walking unsteadily toward me, lifting both arms into the sky and jumping up.
As I moved my gaze back and forth, having fun watching it move in all directions, I played around for a while and threw a cookie.
“Here, eat.”
“Squawk, squa-eck!”
Jumping up as high as one might think possible with such a small body, Pobby bit the cookie with his small beak and, even when falling, turned in the air a few times and landed splendidly.
“Wow, Pobby! How did you do that just now?”
“Amazing!”
Ronowe and Veris couldn’t close their mouths; they kept clapping their hands with an amused and ridiculous expression on their faces, mimicking a goldfish’s movement with pursed lips.
“There’s truly a fascinating duck by the Lord’s side.”
“Sometimes it plays tricks when eating snacks.”
“I see.”
While Sasha remained quiet, Freyrie, after watching Pobby flawlessly leap around, catching all the cookies thrown by Ronowe and Veris, smiled broadly and enjoyed the spectacle.
“Oh, my Lord. May I make a small request?”
“Go ahead and say it.”
I rolled with a leisurely attitude, thinking I’d listen and decide.
“I’d like to go to the Royal Library later.”
“The Royal Library? Why there?”
Although similar to the Royal Library in that only members of the Huang family with permission can enter, the Royal Library operates under stricter rules.
Because unlike the Royal Library, where nobles could enter depending on the circumstances, anyone from any family just had to fill out an ‘entry form’ to gain access.
In fact, the ability to enter the Royal Palace was proof of significant influence, so the library was managed by several librarians.
On the other hand, the Royal Library could not be accessed by anyone other than the Huang family and library administrators.
As the heir to the throne, I could go anytime, but those not of the Huang family had to either obtain approval from the Emperor or Empress in advance or accompany a Huang family member.
“I heard that the Royal Library is full of ancient documents.”
“Do you like reading books?”
Thinking that it was better than jumping around, and not knowing much about Freyrie, I asked while also testing for information.
“I like it. Above all, since I spend a lot of time lying down, Sasha and my mother used to read me books.”
Freyrie, with a momentarily shy face, soon covered his clavicle with both hands in a slightly delicate posture, saying that his chest was swelling with excitement.
“So, I’ve always imagined and listened to stories. I’m so curious about what it’s like in reality. I really want to see it.”
When I visited the Vladimir territory last time, I felt that the scale of the Duke’s estate was no less than that of the Royal Palace. If so, the Duke’s library must be enormous, and I hesitated for about 3 seconds whether to wake him up from his dream, as I might be disappointed when I actually go there.
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.
