In the brief moment she blinked, the escort, who had been perfectly fine, had a pale face, and sweat was streaming down like rain.
Even…
“Are you alright!”
Her face turned pale like a corpse, and even the contrasting runny nose started to flow.
Keslan handed her a handkerchief at an almost invisible speed, but Greta’s arm didn’t move.
Keslan was more bewildered by Greta’s attitude, which seemed to reject the handkerchief, but in reality, Greta didn’t reject it.
She just didn’t have the strength to receive the handkerchief.
If she had the strength, she would have wiped away the sticky blood under her nose.
She was closer to enjoying the smell of blood than usual, but the blood flowing from her nose now smelled only of failure.
It was only a matter of seconds, but Keslan carefully examined Greta and concluded that she wouldn’t die.
He gently placed the unused handkerchief near her after she refused it with an attitude that seemed to reject it.
As always, Keslan, who was looking for something unusual and extraordinary from all directions, soon became aware of it.
Externally, he seemed infinitely calm, but he was more flustered than when he saw Greta collapsing miserably a while ago.
It was because, despite thorough examination, there was no evidence of an attack.
Of course, Greta had never been attacked.
But if it wasn’t an attack, there was no reason for Greta to be in such a state for a short while.
After several inspections, Keslan couldn’t find anything strange in this room.
And the moment he turned back towards Greta and their eyes met.
Something strange, unusual, and abnormal was there.
It was unbelievably ominous and nauseating, beyond what words could express.
A feeling that far surpassed the eeriness he felt every time he entered this room.
All of his senses, seeing, hearing, and feeling, loudly warned him that what was in front of him was ominous.
The diplomat, who was somewhat suspicious and dubious before entering this room, seemed like an entirely different being with just a human shell.
A horribly distorted…
Suppressing the instinctive urge to vomit, Keslan maintained a poker face with superhuman patience, slowly bending his waist.
“I apologize for not being able to protect you.”
Facing Keslan, who was sincerely seeking forgiveness, Greta raised her hand without saying a word.
Her entire head seemed to be on fire, her eyes were flickering as if she wanted to pluck them out, and the tinnitus in her ears was getting worse.
“Please leave.”
Her voice, which opened the betrayer’s mouth, was so small that it was almost inaudible unless you leaned in, but Keslan, who was paying full attention to Greta, understood immediately.
“Call the palace guards…”
“Fine…! No, yeah. Go ahead.”
Responding sharply to Keslan’s words, Greta soon changed her tone, as if flipping her hand.
Even in this condition, if she doesn’t call a doctor, there will undoubtedly be suspicions.
She erased her memory, but she had to act as naturally as possible.
Because the spell on him was incomplete, it was unstable, so she had to be careful of when and under what circumstances it might break.
Regret for attempting to turn him into a doll came belatedly, but Greta wanted to clear everything and just rest.
With her permission, Keslan, who was scared to death, left the room.
Rather than pulling the bell rope to call a servant, it was faster for him to go out himself.
As he stepped out of the door, he caught a passing servant nearby.
“Call the royal physician. The diplomat from the Norden Kingdom is unwell.”
Without an immediate response to his words, the servant chose his words for a moment, and before Keslan, who was puzzled, could ask again, he opened his mouth.
“This royal physician has already passed away, so we will bring the resident royal physician from another palace.”
“He passed away? Where to? Did something happen to the royal physician?”
The royal physician residing in the palace where diplomats stay is one of the top figures among the royal physicians in the imperial palace.
This is because they must prevent the possibility of the ridiculous rumor that the representative of another country died of illness in the empire from becoming a reality.
In addition, if any problem arises with the royal physician staying in this palace, it must be communicated to Keslan, the guard, without fail.
In the absence of the royal physician, the duties of the guard become much more extensive.
But since he received no communication, when Keslan’s gaze turned coldly, the servant said.
“Nothing has happened.”
The servant raised his head with an expression of surprise.
“Then why bring the resident royal physician from another palace?”
“Well, because the time for retirement has already passed.”
Although Keslan was strange for asking again about the obvious fact, the servant added without asking.
“We will bring the resident royal physician as soon as possible.”
At the servant’s answer, Keslan made a strange expression as if he had received a sudden blow to the back of his head.
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.
