Under the luxurious tent set up at the entrance of the hunting ground, Empress Lisandro raised a goblet of wine and exchanged toasts with Count Repenser who sat across from her.
“Count Repenser, your suggestion was excellent. It was timely.”
“You are too kind. I merely conveyed a humble opinion, and all the brilliant scheming was done by Your Majesty, the Empress.”
He had only suggested using the Duchess to deteriorate the relationship between the Duke and the Third Prince, but to prepare a trap so quickly… Count Repenser chuckled, matching Empress Lisandro’s preferences. Indeed, Lady Katrina, the Duchess, had accurately predicted the opportunity to ally with Empress Lisandro’s power.
Count Repenser.
Yes, Lady Katrina, the Duchess.
I pressured the Duke’s side to make Count Repenser accompany the Imperial delegation to Lisandro. Go there, observe the Duke’s actions, and return.
Understood.
Also, the Third Prince of Lisandro, who came to study at the Imperial University, is said to be friendly with the Duke’s consort… If we use this well, it might turn into a favorable situation for us.
The Third Prince?
Lisandro’s Empress probably finds the Third Prince, a brother different from her born 1st and 2nd Princes, troublesome. The more intimate the Third Prince becomes with the Duke’s side, the less comfortable it will be on the opposing side, don’t you think?
Indeed… It seems Lisandro’s Empress and the 1st and 2nd Princes will be able to restrain the relationship between the Third Prince and the Duke’s side.
Moreover, it’s said that the 1st Prince has had a strained relationship with the Duke since childhood. So, establish good relations with Lisandro’s Empress’s power and seize the opportunity. Since we share mutual benefits.
As Lady Katrina foresaw during the previous envoy meeting, the 1st Prince, while observing the relationship between the Third Prince and the Duke, expressed dissatisfaction openly.
Smiling with a sense of triumph, Count Repenser, who heard of it, approached Empress Lisandro with highly calculated intentions.
Lord Repenser from Yupiter, was it? Allegedly part of the faction supporting Emperor Yupiter?
Yes. I humbly requested an audience to convey something that Your Majesty, the Empress, will deeply appreciate. It seems that the relationship between our Duke and the Third Prince has recently become closer.
…!
Recently, it’s rumored that the Duke’s power is higher in Yupiter than the Imperial Family. If the Duke’s power, possessing such great strength, influences Lisandro’s Imperial race, it seems likely that the one he supports will become the Emperor.
As Count Repenser subtly prodded, the face of Empress Lisandro turned muddy, then she took the bait immediately.
What should we do then?
Did you see the Duke’s consort and the Third Prince dancing together at yesterday’s ball?
Yes. They seemed quite close, claiming to be friends.
It would have appeared so in the eyes of the Duke. Perhaps the Duke harbored feelings for his consort in secret.
The Duke…?
What if the Duke’s consort and the Third Prince became even more ‘intimate’? If the Duke sees the Duke’s consort and the Third Prince consort getting even closer than this?
Empress Lisandro’s eyes momentarily sparkled cunningly in response to Count Repenser’s discreet words. She nodded, as if understanding all of Count Repenser’s words.
Subsequently, at today’s hunting competition, the Duke’s consort and the Third Prince coincidentally became hunting partners, as if the script had been written in advance. All of this was part of Empress Lisandro’s scheme.
‘I’ll just enjoy the alcohol prepared by Empress Lisandro under the luxurious tent.’
Count Repenser raised his wine glass and at the same time curled his cunning smile.
“Again, I must emphasize that our Emperor’s faction desires the stability of both Yupiter’s authority and Lisandro’s authority.”
“Well, I am well aware. Please convey this to Lady Katrina, your leader. If our First Prince ascends to the Lisandro throne safely, the power of Yupiter’s imperial family will become even stronger than the power of the Duke’s family.”
“Of course. For the bright future of Yupiter and Lisandro! I offer this glass to Empress Lisandro.”
The expressions of the two people who were drawing the dark future of someone soon to come appeared endlessly bright.
The atmosphere in Zone 9 assigned to the Duke and Princess Ophelia was no different from Zone 10. Looking up at the heavily clouded sky, Kaeron narrowed his eyes. The weather was unpleasant.
In a low voice, he opened his mouth toward Ophelia.
“Do not disturb and follow quietly.”
“W-What are you saying?”
“We don’t plan to delay for a long time. The princess wouldn’t want that, either.”
“O-Of course! Who would willingly become partners with someone?”
“Fortunately, we both feel the same way.”
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.
