Rudvi tilted the teacup leisurely after a long while.
There were no humans in the Imperial Palace that she disliked, and the Emperor, who seemed to be doing something even while lying in bed, now spent more time sleeping. So, there couldn’t be peace like now.
“I wish that person hadn’t come like this… Even if he falls into a hole and dies, it’s fine.”
Before Leharht went to Mietri, Rudvi had sent someone first to scout the area.
And upon discovering the cave, she ordered Heishi to push the Crown Prince into it. Now, all that was left was to wait for him to make a mistake.
“It would be best if his neck broke.”
She had already planned to kill him, but it wouldn’t be a problem if the Crown Prince died in that cave. It would save her the trouble of killing him.
As Rudvi took a sip of tea, an aide entered and gave a formal greeting.
“It’s reported that His Highness the Crown Prince has safely escaped.”
The good mood that existed until just now was completely ruined by the news delivered by the aide. Rudvi, irritated, set the cup down and stood up.
Displeasure emanated from her footsteps as she walked toward the window. The aide held his breath, waiting for the Prince’s instructions.
“I can’t rely on luck anymore.”
Rudvi looked out the window, lowering her head.
“But he brought new information.”
“What is it?”
“His Highness the Crown Prince found the Mietri tree inside.”
“…What?”
For the first time, Rudvi turned back with a face that lost composure.
“He found the temple?”
“And he said he brought something, but he wasn’t sure exactly. What should we do?”
At the aide’s question, Rudvi furrowed her brow. The fact that the former Emperor emerged from the temple with special powers was known to all members of the royal family.
“In and out of there…”
Honestly, she hadn’t overlooked the possibility of the Crown Prince entering the temple by luck. However, it didn’t matter if he went in. After all, it would be over if he died.
Still, it bothered her that the Crown Prince had entered the temple.
“He said he brought something?”
Heishi didn’t know much about the temple, so he wouldn’t be able to figure out what the Crown Prince brought out.
In that case, it would be good for someone who knew well to go and find out…
“Shall we use the spy planted by the Crown Prince’s side?”
“Waiting for him to return to the castle will be too late.”
Rudvi shook her head. She didn’t know what would be in the temple.
The former Emperor had gained the power to awaken Awakened Ones there, and there was no law against receiving the power to heal someone. Some time ago, the Emperor allowed the Crown Prince to enter the secret study.
She couldn’t know what information the Crown Prince had obtained there, whether he would bring a way to heal the Emperor’s illness from the Mietri tree with that information.
Not knowing made her uneasy. She didn’t know what he might do.
“I’ll have to move personally.”
It would be better to catch the Crown Prince before he enters the castle and take away the item he brought from the temple. Having made the decision, Rudvi turned around.
“Get ready.”
“Just going like this?”
When the aide asked if she was just going to meet the Crown Prince all of a sudden, Rudvi responded as if it would be no problem.
“Is there anything strange about just going?”
“He will definitely be suspicious.”
“Then should we let the Crown Prince enter the castle safely?”
As Rudvi grumbled, the aide bowed deeply. However, there was still an expression of concern.
“Tsk, we can come up with a suitable excuse.”
Although the aide stared at Rudvi without immediately coming up with an idea, Rudvi issued a command without explaining her thoughts.
“Go and buy a necklace. Something very conspicuous.”
Without any further explanation about the type of necklace to buy, Rudvi left the room. The aide left alone pondered. He couldn’t grasp where and how she intended to use the necklace.
“Lord Fernando has arrived.”
Hanna, who was waiting for Fernando at the Supraheo Ducal Castle, stood up briskly. She immediately walked towards Fernando to meet him and asked the maid following behind.
“Is everything ready?”
“Yes.”
Hanna, who had prepared everything in advance so that Fernando could rest comfortably, confidently came out toward the door.
“Hanna?”
While walking around, Hanna encountered Etienne, who entered the castle yesterday. Hanna exchanged a brief eye greeting with Etienne and swiftly passed her by. She ignored Etienne’s gaze, which seemed to ask what was going on.
“Fernando will handle it alone.”
The only person Hanna was waiting for with interest in this place was Fernando. Well, considering that Hanna was the person who worried the most about Fernando from the beginning, it didn’t really matter. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t be safe and sound right now, so this time, she wanted to take care of him.
“Where is he?”
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.
