Why go to this extent? But on the other hand, the feeling of being treated well wasn’t unpleasant.
Even if this whole situation and conversation were artificial, at this moment, it felt like becoming a truly special person.
“Welcome, how many people will use the service?”
“One lady here.”
“Destination?”
At the teleporter guide’s question, Riley answered on his behalf.
“Soboster.”
“I will pay with my magic.”
“Understood, I will prepare.”
Now it’s really time to part.
“I’ll go.”
Teleport preparation was completed. The teleporter began to operate.
Gibnen waved his hand. As if to respond, Riley raised her hand, and his figure disappeared from sight, covered in a faint light.
A remote mountain village, a small town filled only with darkness.
I’m back.
To the place where I was struggling endlessly to escape.
In fact, the first outing, so unreal and fantastical, had ended as if it might have all been a dream.
(This is a time delimiter.)
After sending off Riley, Gibnen also successfully ended the meeting with Feltro and the buyer he introduced.
He made an agreement with Tenkas, the mining king of Forenco.
With the reception over and his purpose of contacting Riley Adaline fully achieved, Gibnen, feeling relaxed for the first time, loosened his tie and lay on the bed.
He boasts that it was really a hectic schedule.
Gibnen, who had closed his eyes, recalled his master’s last image.
“Protect her no matter what happens.”
“Why are you passing on your duties to me?”
“It’s not something I can take on. You are the suitable one.”
“……So now, do I have to spend my life taking care of others?”
“Take care of it well.”
“What if I don’t take care well? Taking care of others is not my forte.”
“……Then kill her. Directly, with your hands. She must never fall into ‘their’ hands. Never.”
“What a bothersome old man.”
When he wanted to die, he did so, leaving behind a heap of things to be passed on without even dying gracefully.
As a result, he ended up getting married, something he hadn’t thought of at all. Should he be thankful for establishing a family early, or pessimistic about a life bound to Riley Adaline?
‘It’s annoying.’
He was not the type to care for and nurture something.
Especially if it’s a being that requires a particularly delicate touch, like a woman or child. Life had become very tiring due to the sudden responsibilities handed over after the master’s death.
But how could he turn his back on the words left by his master before his death?
He had no choice but to do as he was told.
“Ah, I almost forgot.”
Something was subtly nagging at him, and he realized that there was one more thing he had to do.
Gibnen got up.
And then he hurriedly headed somewhere.
This is a time separator
“I’m getting married.”
The sudden announcement by Gibnen halted the movements of two people who were enjoying their meal.
One was his father and the head of the Lianster family, Alton Lianster. The other was his twin sister, Livne Lianster.
Especially his twin sister Livne stared at Gibnen as if she was stunned.
“Are you crazy? You’ve decided to marry without consulting the family, even though you’re such a screwup? You must have gone mad. Are you leaving now?”
“I’ll handle my marriage myself. Is it your business to make a fuss?”
“Marriage is not a personal matter, it’s a family affair!”
“So, I’ve chosen a woman who will please everyone.”
Alton Lianster, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, asked in a calm voice.
“Who is she?”
“Father, you will like her too.”
“So, tell me whose daughter she is.”
“She’s the daughter of Lord Raicestun.”
The hitherto grimfaced Alton paused. He looked at Gibnen, raising an eyebrow.
“Raicestun had a daughter?”
“Yes, well.”
“How did you find out?”
“My master told me before he passed away.”
Alton stroked his beard with a serious expression.
“Tricky.”
“Are you displeased? I thought you would welcome this marriage more than anyone else. According to my master, you and Lord Raicestun had a very special relationship.”
“I didn’t know Raicestun had a daughter. Even more, I didn’t know he was still alive. Of course, I’d be pleased with his daughter, but I wonder if she’s someone you can handle.”
“I’ve already met her, and she’s a woman I can manage well enough on my own terms.”
“That’s what you say, knowing nothing.”
Livne cut into the conversation between father and son.
“Who is Raicestun?”
“A friend of father’s.”
“I’ve never heard of him.”
“Me neither.”
“It’s not a scam, is it? Have you checked properly?”
“I’m not like you.”
“Hey!”
“Enough.”
Alton intervened between the two, satisfied with a smile, and patted Gibnen’s shoulder.
“Anyway, if she’s Raicestun’s daughter… Yes, there’s no better daughterinlaw. There are concerns, but since you’ve thought it through, I’ll entrust her to you. By the way, you’ve finally come to your senses, Gibnen.”
He was sincerely happy.
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.
