Sikar didn’t want to tell the two about this place being like a novel.
It wasn’t that Sikar didn’t express it to Yura because he disliked showing his weak side to others. The shock he received when he first found out that this place was like a novel was quite significant.
When Sikar lost both of his parents, he thought, among the many people making up the world, if someone had to be happy and someone had to be unhappy, why did he become the one to embrace that unhappiness? He just resented everything.
Just like the fallen king trampled on his parents and found happiness, if he had to trample on someone to become happy, he was now willing to trample on anything for his own happiness.
He didn’t want to become the target of misery again.
But the life he saw in Yura’s memories was a life lived entirely in misery.
Among these numerous people, if someone had to live an entirely unhappy life, that person was entirely him.
Accepting and acknowledging that with a good heart was not an easy task. So Sikar wanted to keep that strictly secret.
Sikar spoke again in a low voice.
“In the future Yura saw, we all died.”
Duryeon blinked his eyes as if wondering how that could be.
“We died? Why…?”
“We couldn’t escape death because of Gillian.”
“So, Your Majesty is saying that the king betrayed us?”
Of course, it wasn’t betrayal, but rather utilization. However, Sikar couldn’t say that Kian would be killed to Kian, so he nodded as if saying so.
Bika and Duryeon finally understood what Sikar was saying. But now Bika found it a bit uncomfortable to say such things.
“Why say this only now?”
“That’s because saying it then or now doesn’t make a difference, and now is the time.”
“If the lady came from another dimension, is Kian Young Master also from another dimension?”
When Kian’s story came up, Sikar realized there were too many things to talk about today and felt intense fatigue.
He sighed and said,
“Kian is of the Lecadore lineage.”
Duryeon, who had been listening quietly, felt a chill as if he had been hit on the back of the head. Bika, on the other hand, had somewhat expected it and calmly nodded.
“Even though I’ve never learned divine magic, I sometimes felt strange seeing Young Master using divine magic.”
Duryeon scratched his head.
“Oh. I’ve seen Young Master using divine magic a few times… Why didn’t I think it was strange?”
“Because you’re stupid.”
“If I’m stupid, Bika, you’re sharp.”
“But you’re more stupid than sensitive.”
“Still, I’m quick with a sword. Want to spar?”
“You’re trying to use force again because your head hurts.”
Sikar extended his arms towards the two who were squaring off.
“You two, it’s good to fight, but fight outside after this conversation is over.”
The two were grumbling, but they didn’t continue the fight. So Sikar continued with the conversation.
“So, before anything else, we must find Princess Veronia. If Gillian notices that Kian is Veronia’s son, he might use the princess as bait to catch us and try to roast us.”
Duryeon, still not understanding anything, scratched his nose again.
“But, Your Grace, then do you have a reason to kneel down and adopt Young Master? If it weren’t for Young Master, wouldn’t it have been more advantageous for us to directly confront Gillian? It seems like it became more difficult for us to protect Princess Veronia because of Young Master.”
“Kian is the only one who can lift my curse.”
That statement immediately persuaded Bika and Duryeon. The two opened their mouths as if the reason had completely dawned on them.
“It makes sense.”
“So, we must protect both Kian and Princess Veronia.”
“Yes. Because Kian is the future king, we must protect Princess for Young Master… No, for the future King Kian.”
Duryeon clenched his fist and spoke with a determined expression.
“So far, blindly following Your Grace’s orders, we’ve been searching for Princess Veronia, but from now on, for Young Master… No, for the future King Kian, we will definitely find Princess.”
“If you think like that, I feel more secure. Duryeon.”
“Thanks to the Montage Your Grace made before, it became easier to find, so trust and leave it to me.”
Sikar looked at Bika as if asking how she would handle it. She didn’t seem pleased, but nodded as if understanding.
“If you break our alliance after you lift the curse, I’ll make sure to check if there’s another human with black eyes like Madam, okay?”
“I believe you understand how important this matter is. So, I entrust it to all of you.”
“Begging? Did you just say ‘beg,’ Duke?”
Sikar was puzzled as to why they were so surprised. This was the first time he had asked for something instead of giving orders.
“Yes. I said ‘beg.’ What’s the problem?”
“Oh. No, we just asked because it sounded nice. Right, Duke?”
“Did you just say ‘beg’ now, Your Grace?”
Sikar had no idea why they were so surprised by him using the word ‘beg.’
“Yes. I said ‘beg.’ Anything wrong?”
“Oh. No, we just asked because it sounded nice. Well, then, we’ll be going now.”
Duryeon quickly greeted Sikar, grabbed Bika, who seemed to be questioning why the Duke was using the word ‘beg,’ and hurriedly left.
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.
