Seeing that complexion improve, one could scarcely believe the words that a command would be given to the Imperial Palace’s doctor to examine the Crown Prince’s Consort thoroughly.
Liurian stared intently at Evelia, murmuring as such.
He was speaking to Evelia, but in reality, he spat those words at Gardro.
Gardro’s hypocrisy was laughable. He acted more than anyone like he cared for Evelia, but Gardro was no different in neglecting her.
Otherwise, Evelia’s complexion wouldn’t have deteriorated so badly in just a year.
Gardro’s face trembled with rage, but Liurian didn’t care and stood up from his seat.
“It seems best for the two of you to dine together.”
He said so, extending his hand to Evelia.
“We should rise now.”
Evelia’s body shivered. With an embarrassed look, she could neither accept nor reject.
Liurian, who had been watching her closely, forcefully pulled her wrist toward him.
Her slender body was dragged along helplessly. Only then did he turn his back on the emperor and empress without a moment’s hesitation.
(This is a time separator.)
Evelia was breathing heavily.
From the banquet hall to crossing the garden, there was no consideration in the way he held her wrist or his long strides.
“Your Majesty.”
“…….”
“Your Majesty…!”
Evelia called Liurian in a restrained voice. He didn’t stop at her first call, but at her second, he halted his movement as if it were a lie.
“Ha, ha.”
Evelia exhaled the breath she had been holding. Her chest heaved, and sweat beaded on her forehead. Yet, she couldn’t tear her eyes away from Liurian’s back.
She had seen that back countless times, but today it felt so different.
“…Your Majesty.”
Evelia called Liurian with a more composed voice, hoping he would at least look back, but he did not even flinch. Thinking about it, he had never been a man to heed her wishes.
With a resigned face, she carefully stepped forward and stopped in front of him, then looked up at him silently.
“You seem to misunderstand. His Majesty has… His Majesty has always carefully watched over me.”
Her voice, feigning calm, momentarily wavered. Although she pretended otherwise, she too was in a confused state. The thought of Liurian speaking against her was unbelievable.
But now, more important than that was the fact that the person he was opposing was none other than the emperor of the Balcheorope Empire.
The emperor was angered by his words, and the punishment was unpredictable.
She had to persuade him quickly, so he could apologize to the emperor.
“He often visited me, meticulously asking if I was uncomfortable, and when I had a fever for three days, he did not spare any good medicine, giving orders to the Imperial Palace. And, and again….”
“Enough.”
Evelia, who had been brazenly lying, stopped speaking as if by command and her body trembled.
She felt a chill fill her body for the first time, due to the cold gaze looking down at her.
“You gain nothing by doing this. Do you really believe His Majesty to that extent?”
“…….”
“Is there something for you even if you speak against him in his absence?”
At the negating and mocking question, Evelia clamped her mouth shut. It wasn’t that she was expecting anything. She wouldn’t have said it if she was.
All she worried about was him.
“…Your Majesty, His Majesty is the emperor of this nation. How could one who must look after the peace of the empire’s citizens care about the mere insomnia of a Crown Prince’s Consort?”
“I thought you were a wise woman, but it seems I was mistaken.”
(Continued in the next part…)
A sudden hollow laugh wrapped around her ear. Caught off guard, Evelia abruptly raised her head, simultaneously clutching her delicate fingers tightly together.
His face was eerily cold.
“Your Majesty.”
“If you are just a mere crown princess, doesn’t that make me a trivial crown prince, having such a crown princess?”
“Your Majesty, what I meant…!”
“You didn’t speak without thinking that far, did you?”
For a moment, Evelia’s pupils quaked as if struck by an earthquake. It was a completely unexpected reprimand.
“That, that is.”
She hurriedly searched for an excuse, but even after a long time, she could not think of a reply.
It was obvious. This was a clear mistake on her part.
To make such a mistake in front of him, who was always eagerly seeking her flaws, a sigh surged up within her. But now was not the time to sigh comfortably.
Evelia quickly bowed her head.
“I was thoughtless, Your Majesty.”
“…”
“How dare you say something lowly, Your Majesty. I humbly ask you to generously overlook my foolish mistake.”
The apology exchanged between the couple was overly formal and stiff. However, on the other hand, there was nothing superfluous about it.
Evelia hoped that his feelings would not be hurt any more by this and waited for his response.
“…Yes. As you say, I am a noble crown prince.”
“Your wise words…”
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.
