That it was only a worthless morality, and that the punishment for the Young Master Earl, who had dared to use the devil to nearly bring a princess to death, was natural.
Evelia was not a saint. She was not stupid either.
On the contrary, she was incredibly clever and smart when it came to assessing situations.
If she pleads for the Young Master Earl’s mercy now, she realized instinctively that it would make Arkan look foolish.
“……Um.”
As Evelia followed Arkan inside, only the pleading voice of Earl Mirone and the crying of the Young Master Earl, who had only just realized the situation, could be heard in the garden.
He wanted to say that it was the Duke of De Fonte who ordered him, that he only did as he was told, and to please save his life.
However, the meticulous Duke De Fonte had put a restriction on Earl Mirone from disclosing any information related to ‘De Fonte’ during the contract, so Earl Mirone could only choke out strangled noises.
The Duke of De Fonte easily turned away from the desperate gaze of Earl Mirone’s bloodshot eyes.
“Dispose of them.”
Hugo turned around and ordered the knights after confirming that the children’s footsteps had completely disappeared.
The pungent smell of blood spread throughout the garden.
Ceres trembled like a quaking aspen.
She had often seen the maids beaten and bleeding in the mansion, but this was the first time she had seen a person die. She had no idea why the Duke had told her to stay here alone.
The Duke of De Fonte, who watched the beheading of the Earl and the Young Master, let out a faint smile.
Losing a piece in the long game was a bit regrettable, but he could easily acquire that amount of piece again.
Hugo, who had been coldly looking down at the beheaded mother and son, drew his sword and pointed it at the Duke’s neck.
“Heuk…!”
Before he noticed, seeing the sword at the edge of his throat, the Duke gasped sharply.
Since his main skill was alchemy, the Duke of De Fonte, who had never been at the front lines of a war filled with murderous intent, had no chance of withstanding Hugo’s energy.
Sweat began to pour down the Duke’s forehead like rain.
“Did you think I wouldn’t know, Duke.”
Hugo’s golden eyes sparkled.
“What… are you talking about? Please sheathe this sword first and speak.”
There is no evidence that he ordered to kill the princess. The Duke will not kill me here.
“Always look around you. Even if there’s not enough evidence for a disposition under imperial law, a human life doesn’t always hang on the law, does it?”
Hugo growled low in the Duke of De Fonte’s ear.
After sheathing his sword and heading into the Duke’s residence, Hugo was followed by the Artina Knights.
Always a light figure, just as if the figure who had just moments ago been presenting dolls to the young lady and playing all sorts of tricks, never existed to begin with.
Behind the knights was an ominous energy that could not be overlooked.
The nobles swallowed their saliva as they looked down at Earl Mirone and the Young Master, who were staining the garden grass with their thick blood.
And they recalled the fact they had briefly forgotten in the short peace.
Who knew upon whose family’s sacrifice this peace was erected. Which family stood at the forefront of the intense war. And just how formidable the Artina family was during that time.
Even a decade later, Artina remained robust. Perhaps it was even more powerful than that period.
The golden dragon who led the war against the demons to victory and spread its wings, now covered the world with its aura.
That cruel era.
It was peace preserved by Artina, shedding the blood of countless knights and vassals.
The price paid by those who dared to bring him down, and those who targeted their only princess, was as deep and heavy as the blood soaking the garden.
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.
