“I was curious about that too, but our Viscount explained the reason after coming back from outside. Due to the revelation that Viscount Ferimont is a fake, all the knights and soldiers of the Wasung are gathered in front of the Ferose Mansion. Ruela, who are those people, anyway?”
Ignoring Lady Laine’s question, Ruela looked at the piled-up luggage.
“So, instead of responding to the summons order, you chose to escape?”
“I can’t die like this.”
“Where are you planning to go?”
“…Actually, that’s why I couldn’t leave yet. The port has been prohibited from sailing for a few hours, and even if we go to Orwal or the Magel Kingdom, it’s uncertain whether we can safely pass through the border. Even if we manage to get there, there’s no certainty that they will accept us.”
“What about the queen?”
“I couldn’t contact her. But, Ruela…”
Lady Laine, shaking her head with a helpless expression, lowered her voice.
“What method did you use? You clearly said that soldiers were surrounding the Ferose Mansion. How could you suddenly appear there, and how is that possible?”
While Ruela was choosing what to say, Lady Laine, with a terrified expression, stepped back and asked, “Could it be that Ruela is also a monster?”
Ruela looked at the citizens of Laine gathered in one corner. Their eyes were filled with fear at witnessing an unbelievable situation.
Since an immediate answer didn’t come, fear appeared in Lady Laine’s eyes, and she stepped back further, shouting, “Answer quickly!”
Thinking that if this continued, it could become uncontrollable, Ruela decided to be honest.
Since they had to openly go monster hunting now, there was no need to hide their identity.
“I’m not a monster; I’m a magician.”
“A magician?”
As someone who didn’t know much about this field, Lady Laine’s expression seemed to question what the difference was between a monster and a magician.
“Ah, it’s more appropriate to call it an adept here than a magician.”
Watching them, Kite approached Ruela. He began to introduce their identities directly to the sharp-looking Lady Laine.
“Lady Laine, let me officially greet you. I am Kite Helane Leor, the Grand Duke of Leor and the Crown Prince of Helane. Here is Hagen Lysar Ermay, the Duke of Helane, and my cousin Tien Clueare Lysar, the Marquess. The one with short hair is Mitchell Tanye Viscount, and next to him is Raphael Ashi Bart Viscount.”
With Kite’s introduction, Lady Laine’s nervous demeanor instantly softened.
Not only was the other party a Crown Prince, but the fact that they were reciting the prestigious names of the Helane family one after another surprised her.
She quickly bent her waist and gave a formal salute.
“Your Majesty, please forgive my ignorance and rudeness. It has been too long since I heard news from Helane, and in many ways, my eyes and ears are in the dark.”
“I understand. When Kuran was the territory of Helane, I wasn’t the Crown Prince. Well, the detailed circumstances will be known gradually. Lady Laine, you also used to be from Helane, so you must be familiar with skilled individuals, right?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Even though I lived as a citizen of the Kuran Kingdom, I am not ignorant enough to forget the divine Helane. Of course, I am aware of skilled individuals who can prove the continuation of the divine bloodline.”
“We are those skilled individuals. We came here to rescue Kuran from the monsters and restore it to Helane.”
As soon as Kite finished speaking, screams erupted from the commoners standing among them. Right after that, one or two quickly kneeled down and began to mutter something. Others followed suit.
They were captured by fear at the sight of the real appearance of skilled individuals. Even if they wanted to dismiss it as a lie, they couldn’t. They had witnessed the appearance out of nowhere, and they had no choice but to believe that they were skilled individuals.
They prayed for forgiveness from the forgotten god in front of them.
Seeing this, Hagen, who had been uncomfortable with their looks, sneered and mocked, “They’re quick to change their stance. Until now, they revered Kuran Duke as if he were a god, but as soon as skilled individuals appear, they quickly switch to worshiping Helane’s god? You’re truly amazing.”
Ruela coldly stared at the hesitant commoners and then, with Lady Laine, went outside the entrance.
When Kite and his companions followed, she closed the front door and spoke.
“Did you plan to evacuate with the commoners?”
“No. How can we run away with so many people? Besides, they are all people who have no problem staying here. Except for my personal maid and the servant of my husband, everyone else was someone who leaked information about this mansion to the outside. They all have their own ties to survive, even if something happens.”
“Then, it will be easier to talk. Do you need to take Lady Laine, the lord and lady, the servant, and the maid? What about your daughter?”
“I sent her to Elabro before starting this incident. My distant relative lives there, so I had her take refuge.”
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.
