“……Is it your intention to act according to the plan we discussed before?”
“Yes.”
In Khalif’s answer, there was no hesitation. For Felix, it was the moment he had been waiting for. Guarding the Crown Prince’s bedroom every day had been tedious.
However, starting the plan was not as exciting as he thought. He was just curious about Khalif’s sudden decision.
“Didn’t you say that it would take quite some time to put that plan into action?”
“I did. First, I had to wait until Evelia could accept the changed appearance of the Crown Prince.”
“Does that mean Evelia has accepted you now?”
“……To some extent.”
Khalif, who was aimlessly staring into the void, muttered hesitantly. His relationship with Evelia had indeed become smoother, but he was troubled that he hadn’t been able to reveal anything to her.
Originally, he would have waited for Evelia to be ready. But there had been an unexpected variable.
Despite having deceived the Empress with enough trickery, her reaction was so immediate.
Of course, immediate suspicions were cleared with an appropriate explanation, but it was only a temporary effect.
As long as he did not stop moving for Evelia, the Empress would harbor seeds of doubt every time, and if it did not resolve with just warning him, she would eventually reach out to Evelia.
He, who knew the cruelty of the Empress better than anyone, could not help but prepare in advance, even if it wasn’t something that would happen immediately.
He still vividly remembered the cruelty of the Empress and her cohorts.
It would have been his first life after leading the war against the Kingdom of Elia to victory and barely returning to the palace.
At that time, he was consumed by the thought that he must not be found out as not being Liurian.
It was only after repeating dozens of regressions that he finally met Evelia. He wanted to stay by Evelia’s side as long as possible.
For that, he even had to ignore the Crown Prince’s notorious libertine daily life.
Not that he actually enjoyed a dissolute life. He only momentarily welcomed those approaching him with malice to deceive people’s eyes.
Even at that, people quickly recalled the previous Liurian, and superimposed the past frame on the present.
That day was the same. Whether that was the problem, he received a scorpion to head to the Empress’ palace right away.
Thinking back now, the Empress, knowing well of her son’s dissolute life, seemed to be sure that Liurian would not come to the Empress’ palace right away.
Otherwise, she could not have had that conversation with the Garnet Duke.
[Do you intend to let the Crown Prince continue this wild life?]In a secretive sight without any attendants, Garnet Duke’s voice leaked out of the Empress’s bedroom. It was full of displeasure.
Khalif couldn’t help but listen to that voice.
[He’s just returned from the battlefield. He’s spent his entire life doing what he wants, and now he’s been stuck in the battlefield for over a year.] [So he needs to straighten up now. Have you forgotten why the Crown Prince had to go to the battlefield with the Kingdom of Elia, Your Majesty?] [Father!] [There were movements to hinder the succession of Your Highness, the Crown Prince, your only bloodline. If Your Highness had not enjoyed a dissolute life, there would have been no need to go to the battlefield to make a reason!]The somewhat irritable conversation between the Empress and the Duke turned into an uncontrollable emotional fight.
The more it happened, the more Khalif held his breath. There had been movements to hinder Liurian’s succession before the war with the Kingdom of Elia. It was a fact he didn’t know at all.
Now is an excellent opportunity to renew the dissolute image of the crown prince who led the victory in the war against the Kingdom of Elia. The matter of firmly establishing His Highness’s position among the subjects will be handled by this father. So, Your Majesty the Queen, please concentrate solely on caring for your son.
The duke made a face, as if he no longer wished to deal with the queen. The nuance seemed as if he might step out of the bedroom at any moment.
Caliph stepped back in preparation for any unforeseen situation. If he happened to run into the duke, he planned to act as if he had just arrived.
But contrary to expectations, the sobbing voice of the queen once again flowed out from behind the door.
“Do you think I don’t truly understand my father’s intentions?”
“What do you mean to say?”
“My father is a man with great ambitions. That’s why he made me queen as well. If it’s my father, he’ll surely have my son sit in the emperor’s seat.”
“…….”
“And then, just like he did to me, he’ll place my son in the palm of his hand. He’ll control and manipulate him, trying to rule the empire according to his will! Even if Liurian takes all the blame and persecution on behalf of my father, my father won’t blink an eye!”
“If the crown prince is a clever child, there’s no need to worry.”
Caliph quickly blinked his eyes. The conversation between the two was rather meaningful.
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.
