Delia gritted her teeth and stared at a specific point.
Ferociously, as if observing an ironclad reinforcement, she glared chillingly.
However, Delia showed no sign of fear, even under the sharp gaze.
Instead, she confidently returned the gaze, making Agnes, caught in the middle, uneasy.
“Be careful, Princess.”
Agnes hid behind Delia with a slightly frightened voice.
Delia, still fixated on one spot, grabbed the thick gloves handed to her by Agnes.
“Really? Do you think something like that could kill us?”
Delia comforted Agnes, keeping her hidden behind her.
“Yes. We might not be able to kill it.”
Agnes trembled at the reviving pain.
“But it’s not just one servant who got bitten.”
Delia, biting her lip, continued to glare at the cage.
The tension between the bird and Delia seemed to flow intensely, as if engaging in a staring contest.
“Creating a disturbance among people, just like its master. It really resembles its owner.”
“So, Princess, please be careful.”
“Don’t worry.”
Delia, replying boldly, cautiously opened the cage door and slipped her gloved hand inside.
A bird left by Mei.
Now, Mei’s once beloved bird, with sharp eyes, stared at Delia’s hand.
The bird neither cried nor flapped its wings.
It followed the movement of Delia’s hand inside the cage as if watching for prey, with a sharp gaze.
“If you don’t come out now, I’ll give you to your master’s master.”
With Delia’s threat, the bird finally flapped its wings and landed on Delia’s hand.
“You’re also afraid of your master’s master, huh?”
Delia confirmed the bird perched on her hand and slowly took Mei out of the cage.
Whether it received good training or was aware of the existence of the tied string on its foot, the bird sat quietly.
Delia offered pieces of meat to the bird.
“It would be nice if you could hunt on your own. For now, endure this.”
As if the bird understood Delia’s words, it started pecking at the food.
“Princess, your words are well-heard.”
“This one seems to find the commander frightening too.”
Delia grinned mischievously, looking at the bird, which was eating its food with a sharp beak.
“Commander?”
“Oh, there’s something like that.”
Delia, finding it difficult to answer, stumbled over her words.
The fact that Mei was an imperial spy had been kept a secret for her older brother.
“He eats really well.”
Delia, turning her attention elsewhere, thought of Crown Prince Alfredo.
Both her father and the commander were doing their best to release her older brother and find him.
However, whether he fell to the ground or soared into the sky, there was no trace to be found.
Could he be injured to the point of losing consciousness?
If not…
Delia turned her head and looked at her mother with a worried expression.
“By the way, aren’t you holding your breath for too long? I’m worried about your health.”
Agnes followed Delia’s gaze, and at the end of the princess’s gaze was the queen, sitting upright and holding her breath.
To conceal her uneasy feelings, the queen was knitting with an unwavering posture.
“When I knit, my mind becomes peaceful, and I can’t stop. That’s why I continue.”
“Oh, really? Well, then, there’s nothing we can do. We need to find Father quickly.”
Delia sighed deeply as she looked at the bird.
In Delia’s ear, Mei’s words echoed as she looked at the bird.
‘Be careful of Crown Prince Alfredo. No one knows what someone blinded by jealousy might do.’
With worries about Alfredo alone, it was already complicated, but with Mei’s words added, she couldn’t find a direction.
In the current situation, she couldn’t just worry about her brother’s safety.
Does Father really intend to restrain me? Even if there are such feelings, it was incomprehensible that there was no news.
Even if he thinks of me as a rival, I should return to Vansen as soon as possible, stabilize my position, and explain my stance on the defeat in the Kabat Plains.
If Alfredo were to act decisively, it would be easier for Delia to express her position.
She wasn’t interested in the throne.
She just wanted to remain as a supporter.
But with no news like this…
If she couldn’t find any traces for such a long time, unintentionally, Delia’s position as a true crown princess could be in danger.
With such thoughts, Delia sighed deeply.
For now, the most important thing was for her brother to return safely.
To dispel unnecessary thoughts, Delia turned her head towards the bird.
She had already picked up another piece of meat for Mei, who had already finished eating the prey.
Delia held out the meat to the bird.
“It would be nice if you could hunt on your own. For now, endure this.”
As if the bird understood Delia’s words, it began pecking at the food.
“Princess, your words are well-heard.”
“This one seems to find the commander frightening too.”
Delia grinned mischievously, looking at the bird, which was eating its food with a sharp beak.
“Commander?”
“Oh, there’s something like that.”
Delia, finding it difficult to answer, stumbled over her 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.
