“To see that wonderful thing only now…”
It would have been nice if she had shown that side more often rather than flattering others and flirting with him.
“Shall I pretend not to know and cancel the divorce…”
He who had been staring blankly suddenly came to his senses again.
“This is ridiculous. Being strong isn’t a reason to cancel a divorce. I only need to express gratitude for the help received.”
He had already spoken about what reward he could give for protecting Domingo. Philip controlled his mind and opened the document.
“Let’s not think anymore. Now is an important time for the prosperity of the family.”
From the document, the familiar handwriting of the king appeared.
One of the political documents that bound him with an oath of loyalty so far.
The only legitimate heir to the king, Marlboro, was born after the aged queen left the palace, unable to overcome the stress of infertility.
The sons born to the young concubines were not of the king’s bloodline.
The noble families who knew this fact thought that Marlboro, though born late, was the legitimate heir and should be brought into the palace, and the fruits of adultery should be cast out.
However, the king wanted to pass it quietly, loving the concubines as much as he did. On the other hand, he had no intention of passing the throne to someone not of his lineage.
“Rebels are too old for me to punish, and my son is too young. And I’m tired, so I want to spend my old age comfortably.”
For these reasons, the king secretly raised Marlboro and postponed the succession dispute to the next generation after his death.
And he chose Philip, a nobleman with the ability to teach Marlboro.
Philip’s parents accepted the king’s offer in exchange for land.
“Adopt and raise him in the Morris family when the former queen passes away or when he turns ten.”
But a problem arose with the timing of adoption. Philip’s parents and the former queen did not expect to leave the world so soon.
Because of this, Philip’s marriage path was blocked. Soon the king insisted on Marlboro being his legitimate heir. And he arranged political marriages with several ducal families.
Among the portraits, Ellen, the Duchess of Bourbon Linouard, readily agreed to a strategic marriage after seeing Philip’s portrait. She said it didn’t matter even if he had just adopted a son.
Of course, there were rumors that her disposition was not good. But it was a story that didn’t reach the king’s ears, who only looked at the family, and Philip didn’t care.
But who would have thought Ellen’s position would completely change due to Marlboro’s excellence….
As Philip carefully recalled the past, he pinched his brows due to the approaching migraine, and then began to read the letter.
“……”
The king’s illness was deepening. The doctor had diagnosed that the king’s life was at most one year.
‘It’s time to seriously prepare for the succession.’
Philip, who had read the content several times, burned the letter with a torch.
It seemed as if the headache was somewhat relieved as he watched the grave royal command turn into mere ashes.
“Yes. There’s not much time left.”
Although he had lived a life swayed by great political events, it was not too bad, as it was a matter of drawing a line in history.
Besides, it was about sending his beloved children back to their original places.
After Philip himself finished his mission, he could arrange the surroundings and think about a new path.
He reviewed the future course of action and called Marlboro and Laila to sit down.
“Marlboro, Laila.”
“Yes, Father.”
“Yes, Father.”
“It’s time to slowly prepare.”
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.
