When I was on the battlefield, damn, I thought the war would never end, and it seemed boring to death. But now that it was over, I realized there was much to gain from the battlefield.
I raised my arm and said.
“How about it? Wouldn’t it be nice if I helped treat the injured too?”
Sesil shook her head.
“Still, if Marion-nim helps, Prince Hadel won’t be able to concentrate. Please stay here.”
“That’s right. And Marion-nim is also a patient.”
With both of them fervently holding me, I found myself sitting down again with my butt. It was a truly strange situation.
The palace was bustling, with people running around, yet strangely, my surroundings were unusually quiet.
All this commotion felt like a dream, as if I were watching from a distance.
“…Is this really reality?”
At my mumbled words, Evelyn smiled gently.
“Of course. I suppose this could be called a surreal moment.”
“It seems a bit different in meaning.”
“Mangjung-han (망중한) is what I’d call it during busy times.”
“It seems to have a slightly different meaning.”
“Mangjung-han means having leisure amid busyness. Even though I am technically free now, if someone were to ask if I am busy, that’s not really the case.”
“Will things get busier from now on? How about you, Evelyn?”
In response to my question, Evelyn shrugged her shoulders.
“I only have busy work left. Those who were under mind control need to be comforted, and the magic circles engraved by him in the palace need to be broken even more…”
She was right. As an exceptional mage, Evelyn was rare, and she was the only one who knew the locations of the new magic circles added by Esben.
Evelyn playfully smiled and squinted her eyes.
“Still, I’ll take a break today. In honor of our master.”
Both Sesil and Evelyn looked unusually relaxed. As if they had just finished a long overdue assignment.
‘Ah, I’m in the same boat.’
Esben was no longer here. Now, I could bid farewell to the events from a hundred years ago.
Thinking that way lightened my heart, and I put my fist on Evelyn’s arm.
“You should join in, Evelyn. Ulyssia is my friend too.”
“Master will be pleased.”
I needed to talk about Evelyn and Ulyssia. It was fortunate to have someone to share stories about the people I knew.
“First, it’s better to change locations. If we stay here, it might disturb moving the injured.”
“Okay.”
Before changing places, I looked back.
‘Hadel.’
At first, he seemed awkward, but now his interactions with others looked quite natural.
“You seem dignified.”
“Evelyn, you sounded like a grandmother just now.”
“That’s a bit shocking.”
Upon hearing the grandmother comment, even Evelyn pursed her lips. I chuckled and moved on.
‘It looks familiar, of course. He has commanded many people in the North.’
Hadel would handle it well. As expected, my expectations were correct. Seeing Sesil smiling with satisfaction, as if she had the same thought, she said.
“It suits you well, doesn’t it?”
“That’s right.”
I nodded vigorously.
“I’ve found my rightful place.”
Now, everything seemed to flow in order.
I don’t know how that night passed. When I followed Sesil’s instructions and woke up after a nap, the palace had been completely overturned.
First, fortunately, the king and queen were unharmed. However, due to being under mind control for a very long time, they were in a condition where it was impossible to operate the state affairs.
Upon hearing that, I sighed with relief.
‘It’s fortunate that Hadel’s family is safe.’
Even if we couldn’t find my younger sibling, it’s fortunate that at least our parents are alive.
“But Hadel not recognizing me, that’s a bit shocking.”
While Evelyn is investigating the cause, it was uncertain whether it could be resolved since the issue wasn’t entirely related to mana.
Taking advantage of the gap, the nobles naturally rose to their feet.
“His Majesty the King should abdicate. The state cannot avoid being in a state of political vacuum.”
“Then who should abdicate?”
“Isn’t the rightful heir to the throne in the capital right now?”
“Well, that…”
The only remaining royal family member in the kingdom was Hadel, but Hadel’s name didn’t come up readily.
It was because Hadel had not been active in central politics until now.
During the back-and-forth of debates, three days passed. It was enough time for those who had lost consciousness in Baekok Palace to testify about the situation of that day.
As one by one started to speak up, the puzzle pieces fell into place in no time.
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.
