I had forgotten.
I was only focusing on Rinel’s top.
Ah, that’s why he said earlier that Raphael would be surprised.
Rinel was bold and calm.
In contrast, Raphael seemed quite shocked.
My face is about to turn red for no reason.
Rinel’s mischievous expression made people more embarrassed.
It seemed that to become the emperor of a country, one had to have such boldness and shamelessness.
Raphael, who was still in shock, started to protest vehemently against Rinel.
“Your Majesty, I know you’re trying to scare me, but this is too much.”
Ah, Raphael seemed to have seen this side of Rinel before.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Why, do you have something to repent of when you see me?”
Rinel, fully dressed, approached his secretarygeneral who was venting his displeasure, and shrugged his shoulders.
“Your Majesty, please restrain yourself.”
“Try harder.”
“Don’t you care about my eyes?”
“Do I have to restrain myself while considering your eyes?”
“That’s… no.”
Raphael immediately backed down.
I pretended not to hear the conversation between the two and played dumb.
Rinel put his hands on his waist and said,
“Report.”
“I’ve already seen it.”
“…No, report about what happened to Melanie.”
“Ah, yes!”
Raphael scratched his head and laughed, then immediately changed his expression and began to speak in a very serious voice.
“Madame Melanie was waiting for Your Majesty to come…,”
“Wait, I never indicated I was going to Melanie’s place, why would she be waiting for me.”
“That’s true? But it’s her freedom to wait, right?”
“That’s right. Continue.”
“Yes, Melanie, tired from waiting in her room, decided to go out to meet you and while going down the stairs, she just… just…!”
“Just what.”
Rinel asked calmly.
Despite Raphael’s lively report, Rinel’s reaction was quite dull.
Even if I heard that my distant cousin’s concubine had rolled down the stairs, I wouldn’t seem so indifferent.
Raphael, who had been vividly describing the situation, seemed to run out of steam at the most dramatic part and became as calm as Rinel.
“She rolled.”
“How many times?”
“Well, who knows? Is there anyone who saw it?”
“Is her condition serious?”
“According to Madame Melanie’s maid, she is wandering in delirium.”
“If she’s wandering in delirium, she must have rolled pretty hard!”
Listening to the conversation, I unwittingly raised my voice.
“Yes, Your Majesty the Empress. Indeed, the maid from Madame Melanie’s palace informed that her condition is quite serious.”
“Your Majesty, you should go see her right away.”
“Right now?”
“Of course.”
I wanted to add ‘It’s too late if you go after Melanie dies!’ but I maintained my dignity since his secretary was there.
“I have no choice. Raphael, prepare to go to Melanie’s place now.”
“What should I prepare? You just need to move, Your Majesty.”
“That’s true, first I need to check her condition. To see how she is wandering in delirium.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I’ll be waiting outside.”
Raphael left the bedroom first.
“I need to go.”
“Yes, it seems a bit windy, so it would be better to wear a thicker robe.”
I bowed my head to Rinel, who was about to leave the bedroom, and said.
“Hmm. Raphael would have prepared it.”
“Please come back safely, I will return to my palace.”
“Let’s go together. What are you talking about?”
I blinked my eyes at his words.
“Why should I go to Melanie’s harem…”
“Can a person who is an Empress lack such recognition.”
“Pardon?”
“A person has rolled down the stairs, and you’re not going to comfort her together?”
“Do I really need to…”
If I appear with Rinel, Melanie will probably be more delirious, right?
Although I was worried whether she was seriously injured, I could bet my sword that Melanie would want Rinel to come alone.
“Melanie will be very disappointed if she finds out that even though you were with me, you didn’t come with me.”
Rinel said, taking my hand.
Excuse me, Your Majesty! Melanie would think the exact opposite, wouldn’t she?
I was confused whether he knew this and was saying it or whether he was ignorant.
“Melanie would be more upset to see me visiting her room with you, right?”
I said as he pulled me along.
He didn’t respond to my words like a deaf person.
“Just a moment, before we go out.”
Rinel stopped me in front of the bedroom door.
“Let’s have a hug.”
He spread his arms.
“Later, we don’t have time for this right now.”
“Why don’t we have a moment to hug.”
“But now…”
“Ha, should I tell Melanie that I also fell down the stairs, and we will roll to the bed like this? What do you think, Empress?”
“Are you worried?”
“I’m worried. I’m going crazy with worry. I wonder if she lied. If she did, I’d be really angry.”
“Rinel… Calm down.”
“So, give me a hug.”
At Rinel’s affectionate expression, I finally entered his embrace.
He hugged me tightly once, then tilted his head and approached my lips.
At that moment.
Thump!
I unknowingly moved my head back and hit the back of my head on the bedroom door.
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.
