The sensation of the soft pillow filled with feathers was slightly cool.
“……?”
During sleep, tears seemed to have been shed, as the pillow was slightly damp.
‘…It was a dream.’
Only then did René realize that the vivid dream she had just had felt so real.
In that dream, she could fully feel the desperate emotions of Cael, who had lost his mother and uncle and thought he would soon die.
She wanted to see Cael, who had grown up as healthy as possible, and reflected on the contents of the dream she had just had with her eyes closed.
Ikar, leading the Vasker Imperial Army, attacks Paradisium and captures the palace with Cael.
Then he asks Cael.
“Do you want to avenge your mother and uncle on behalf of the Emperor?”
To his question, Cael nodded, and Lucius let out a bitter laugh.
‘Is this… even possible? The story I fabricated to collaborate with the enemy, to eliminate the Empress and the external power, has become reality.’
Lucius, who was smiling as if he couldn’t believe the reality in front of him, was the next thing René noticed.
‘Emperor, Your Majesty…’
The Great Hall was filled with astonishment and screams, but Ikar did not stop.
Until he annihilated all the nobles who were the center of the imperial power, Empress Eshika, who was about to welcome them, and all the children she had borne.
When Cael became the last survivor of the Paradisium royal family, Ikar said this.
“Now, Cael, you are the Emperor.”
It was fortunate.
To be able to see Cael again like this, and to be able to see him alive and well.
Although René couldn’t comfort him for all the pitiful moments of that child, who lived tenaciously despite various difficulties.
She could see Cael, who lived resolutely through all the hardships.
But, as always, unlike René’s desire to hold on to the remnants of the dream, the memories quickly faded away.
René, who blinked her eyes slowly, feeling regret for the dream that had quickly escaped, soon wondered.
‘Why did I dream of such a thing?’
Dreams were said to be reflections of the unconscious.
Perhaps she just wanted to see Cael living a healthy life.
René briefly entertained that thought.
Her dream showed not only events immediately after René’s death but many other things.
In the dream, unlike reality, there seemed to be no constraints of time and space. Thanks to that, René could also see Cael, who became the ruler of Paradisium.
Cael, welcoming a child with the Empress, missed the deceased René and sincerely wished for her happiness.
Only then did René feel as if she had released a heavy burden that had been sitting in a corner of her heart all along.
‘Really fortunate…’
As René recalled the dream and sighed with relief, she felt a hint of warmth behind her.
Lying on the bed, René sat up and turned her head in the direction where she heard the sound.
Ikar, with wet hair, was walking towards her.
“Did you sleep well?”
Approaching René with a slight smile, Ikar’s steps suddenly quickened.
As Ikar, who had approached Rene’s eyes, gazed at her eye area, he raised one eyebrow mockingly.
“Did you cry?”
“Ah…”
René hesitated for a moment, unsure how to explain the situation.
During that time, Ikar’s expression froze in real-time.
Instead of answering, René hugged Ikar’s neck. Ikar, who had been fidgeting for a moment, immediately lifted her up.
“…Suddenly feeling anxious.”
Ikar, holding her tightly with her head against her shoulder, muttered as if whimpering.
“What’s wrong?”
“Just because you did something so beautiful as soon as you opened your eyes.”
René said, leaning her forehead against Ikar’s sturdy shoulder.
“Just… because it’s so good.”
For a moment, Ikar’s body stiffened.
“…Me?”
“Yes.”
“Ha…”
Ikar’s somewhat rough breath brushed past René’s back. Trembling her shoulders, René whispered softly into Ikar’s ear.
“Ikar, I love you.”
This time, Ikar’s body noticeably tensed. The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard through their connected bodies.
René recalled the whisper she heard in her sleep.
‘I love you, René.’
At first, she wondered if those words were also a dream. The sweet whisper Ikar uttered felt like a dream, even though it seemed like reality.
It was real.
‘No way!’
Wendy was firm. She promptly rejected René’s proposal to hasten the marriage with Smith.
Wendy was a servant, and until just yesterday, René was the owner of this mansion. Now, she had become the fiancée of the mansion’s owner.
Anyway, René was in a position to coerce Wendy into accepting her opinion by revealing her social status. However, instead of doing so, she decided to consider Wendy’s opinion.
Whether sooner or later, Smith’s feelings remained unchanged, and they would only be directed towards Wendy.
After pampering Smith, René began preparing to leave for Vasker.
“Miss, should I load the things here onto the carriage first?”
Amber asked, pointing to several large bags on one side of the bedroom.
As René nodded, the mansion’s servants carried the bags out of the bedroom.
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.
