“Duke!!”
The voice of Blate, who shouted loudly, creating a trumpet, resounded powerfully.
Following that, shouts of ‘Duke !’ erupted from all directions, extending long.
“Is this correct?”
Blate, who had been continuously calling the Duke, paused, and his voice was strained and cracking.
The raspy voice was not only Blate’s.
“Exactly.”
Elizabeth, responding to the question,
“What is this, really…”
Raymond, who irritably tossed his hair, all of them without exception, had strained voices.
It was because of the continuous shouts during the moment they saw Julian being swept away by the collapsing fortress.
“Duke!”
Certainly, he had marked where the Duke was carried away as the fortress crumbled.
As soon as the field of vision was secured, why couldn’t they see the Duke? No, why didn’t he respond even after shouting this much?
Could it be wrong?
Although they couldn’t say it out loud, their expressions darkened with thoughts as dark as the rapidly approaching darkness.
“Ha…”
A dense sense of anxiety piled up.
“Duke!”
It had been five hours since the fortress collapsed.
It was a time when it wouldn’t be strange for a perfectly healthy person to freeze to death.
“We need more people.”
At Kilian’s words, the gazes of the commanders focused on Creta.
Those who had become the lords of the fortress by their abilities.
In an emergency where the life and death of Julian, the owner of the first fortress, had not been confirmed, the commander was Creta, the commander of the second fortress.
Creta’s face, which had always been pale, was now as waxen as it could be.
“This can’t go on. Creta, request knights according to your nature.”
‘I’ll be back, wait for me.’
‘Did I ever break my promise?’
Amidst the desperate voices of the commanders, Julian’s voice overlapped as he opened the fortress gate and left.
“Creta?”
“Creta! Snap out of it!”
“Snap out of it! It’s not the time to be like this. We need more people. Find him quickly. Send a bird!”
“Creta!”
They had to call people.
Quickly.
Even if it was Julian, he was a human made of flesh and blood, who would die if his throat was cut off, no matter how powerful he was.
They knew.
If left in this cold, he would die.
But…
‘Take care.’
The face of Bianca, who would become the ‘Duchess’ as Julian Valoc, who would burn out or fly away if held, flashed in Julian Valoc’s mind, making it hard to speak.
“Creta!! What are you doing!”
He shouldn’t cry.
“Did you lose the bird by any chance?”
A force so strong that it could suffocate someone’s breathing seized the nape of his neck.
It was Kilian.
His large and thick hand mercilessly grabbed Creta’s nape.
Threatening though he was, his face looked quite desperate, as if he had been threatened.
Creta blinked slowly as he looked at that face.
Even he was terrified in this situation.
Terrified to the point of madness.
But, because of the firm belief that Julian would surely come back, he couldn’t easily make a decision.
“Duke!!”
“If you have to make the Duchess cry?”
Elizabeth’s hand, along with her resolute words, sneaked into Creta’s armor and caught the bird.
“Lady! A bird has arrived!”
Bianca, who was sorting through documents after a long time, unexpectedly found herself standing up at the sound of Jullie’s voice.
The ink bottle spilled over, and the documents were smeared with black stains, but none of it caught her eye.
“A bird has arrived?”
Excitement overwhelmed Bianca, who rushed over at the one word she heard.
Although she hadn’t heard anything yet, her heart pounded as if she were in a one-month sprint.
“What’s the situation…”
“The Duke has gone missing.”
“What?”
Bianca blinked.
Although she had heard something just now, her ears had heard it, but her head couldn’t accept it.
“Missing…”
It wasn’t a strange word like calling in reinforcements, but why couldn’t she grasp it?
“That, what… I don’t understand.”
“The fortress collapsed, and he was caught in it.”
“Julian?”
“They said to send all available personnel to search, fearing that we might miss the timing for the search.”
Bianca couldn’t understand what Julian was saying at all.
“……. ”
With the opening seam, only hot breaths burst out, and no words came out.
“He plans to immediately join the search team, leaving only the minimum personnel in the castle…….”
“But he said he would come back.”
Although Bianca had no idea what was being said, it was a moment when she remembered Julian’s words and mumbled.
Suddenly, her eyeballs became hot, and her vision blurred and cheeks heated up.
“Don’t cry.”
Bianca blinked blankly at Julian’s words.
“Don’t cry. Madam, it’s just that a bird is being sent because it’s snowing and hard to see, there’s no way the Duke would be in trouble, right?”
Does Julian, who says comforting things like ‘He’s an amazing Duke,’ or ‘Do you know what it means not to be human?’ not know that she has been crying since earlier?
She reached out towards Julian.
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.
