The moonlight gently filled the room.
In this moment, gazing at the faint but distinct light, Belia felt a strange sensation that was somehow challenging to express.
“What are you thinking?”
Khalid, sitting on a chair, fully embracing Belia in his lap and expressing satisfaction leisurely, asked as he pulled her waist even closer.
“I just… it doesn’t feel real.”
As Belia mumbled softly, Khalid buried his face deeper into her neck.
“Are we really getting married?”
As the wedding day approached, a sense of unease crept in. What if all of this were just a dream? The worry arose alongside the happiness in their daily life and the smooth resolution of everything. Useless concerns surfaced, wondering what would happen if all this happiness disappeared in an instant.
“You assured me everything would be fine, so why do you keep wavering?”
“I don’t know.”
Simply…
“Perhaps because there was a moment when I thought I had everything and then lost it all…”
Belia leaned her entire body against Khalid’s.
“Constantly… I keep thinking, ‘What if the same thing happens again this time…'”
Her words halted as she felt the touch of his lips on her neck.
A gentle sound of friction. Belia was startled and tried to turn around, but Khalid held her tightly, making it impossible to move.
“Ugh, please don’t…”
His actions became increasingly persistent.
The warm breath tickled Belia’s ear.
“It’s difficult for me. Please stop…”
As Belia weakly spoke, Khalid’s actions abruptly ceased.
“Uhm.”
Feeling somewhat guilty, Khalid chuckled and, abandoning all actions, just savored her scent. It was still tantalizing. But he had to endure. It was torment.
“Alright.”
But a hunting dog must quietly obey its owner.
Fortunately, the chilly wind coming through the open window extinguished the heat that had built up in an instant.
“I feel anxious when you keep wavering.”
“…I’m sorry.”
Her voice was fragile, as if it might scatter.
“No. I’m not apologizing… I mean.”
Khalid lowered his gaze.
“Just trust me a bit more. I wanted to say that.”
As his feelings for Belia grew day by day and seemed likely to continue, it was frustrating not to be able to instill certainty in her.
“…I trust you.”
“Yeah. Trust only me and believe only my words.”
Don’t compare me to that brat, Raul. He and I are completely different.
Khalid’s voice, scratching against the back of his throat, became sharp.
“Remember, Belia, I’m the only one who can have you entirely. So just trust without worrying.”
So, don’t worry and simply obey my commands.
He wanted her to offer her neck to him.
The Queen of Ronika and the High Priestess of the Divine Empire arrived at the Empire by crossing the border.
It was less than a week until the wedding day.
Their visit was a tremendous topic even among the Imperial citizens.
The one closest to the divine among the priests.
Moreover, wasn’t Ronika’s queen formerly a priestess who presided over the Divine Empire’s ceremonies?
People crowded around their path, hoping to receive even a faint remnant of that divine grace.
“Father, thank you for granting my request.”
“This is the second time you’ve asked me for something privately.”
The queen smiled brightly.
“The first time was when I insisted on marrying King Ronika. How did I end up meeting that guy…”
Even thinking back, the High Priestess couldn’t help but click her tongue, dissatisfied.
“Hehe. Still, I’m living happily, so it’s all good, right?”
And the children seem to be very pleased as well.
When Herald and Belia were young, they were occasionally taken to the Divine Empire and stayed in the temple.
Now, those children were getting married.
“Time really flies, doesn’t it? Isn’t that right, Father?”
The High Priestess, without answering her daughter’s question, looked out of the window at the Imperial Palace with a serious expression. Observing the magnificent and splendid sight of the palace, an uncomfortable sensation crept in, causing her to furrow her brow.
“…I haven’t met him in person, but it seems the current Emperor is quite decent.”
The Queen, who turned her gaze towards the palace following the High Priestess, also agreed with a bitter expression.
“Yes, he seems energetic.”
That Belia has to stay in a place like this.
The Queen’s face darkened.
“Don’t worry. If it’s your child, even in the darkness, they’ll be a child who can find jewels.”
It was a statement overflowing with boundless love and trust for her daughter. After saying that, the High Priestess fell silent.
A sinister energy circulated within the palace. She sighed softly, foreseeing that the path her granddaughter would have to tread would not be smooth.
‘Oh, Lord. Please, watch over them all.’
Internally offering a fervent prayer to her own deity, the High Priestess closed her eyes quietly.
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.
