“I’m back, Father, Mother.”
Although Arkhan was just nine years old, he was taller than his peers by a head’s length.
Unlike the playful Cedric, his sharp eyes and sleek jawline, along with a very mature air that was not childlike, were literally a miniature of Hugo and it was not an exaggeration.
“Well done, Arkhan.”
Hugo raised the corner of his lips and patted Arkhan’s shoulder.
“I’m so glad you’re back safely, my son.”
Elysia hugged her son tightly who had returned from the battlefield.
The servants of the Duke lined up in front of the reception room, showing their respect and gratitude to their young master.
Gosh… The family we serve is such a family! Their faces were full of undeniable pride.
“Were there any problems?”
The Duke, who returned after a whopping eight months, seemed warmer than before he left.
The soft scent of milk seemed to come from the newly born sister.
“A problem… I cannot believe our Eve is so beautiful. She looks exactly like your mother. She’s so cute when she smiles. If there’s a problem, that’s the problem.”
The father, who was bragging about his only daughter with a stern face, was very unfamiliar. His stern expression and unyielding speech were not a good match.
“Not long ago she started to say ‘Dada’. But she can’t say ‘Mama’ yet.”
Even after winning the war, the intoxicated tone with the feeling of victory was awkward.
“Our baby can’t speak yet. You hear only what you want to hear.”
Wasn’t he always strict and heavy to himself and Cedric?
This was the first time in Arkhan’s nine years of life that his father smiled like this except when looking at his mother.
About five months before Elysia gave birth to Evelia, Arkhan, who left for the north and returned as a Duke about three months after Evelia was born, had a hard time adapting to the atmosphere.
‘What the hell happened in those eight months…’
“Ah, Arkhan! Eve must be waiting for her brother, go wash your hands quickly and say hello.”
Elysia told Arkhan, but
“Reporting to my father is the first priority.”
Just like Hugo’s son, his indifferent expression and tone were exactly like those Hugo used when dealing with people other than his family.
“Uhhuh? But you haven’t seen your little sister yet.”
“I can see my sister at any time, but I have to report now. I can’t put public matters after personal matters.”
Arkhan spoke sharply. He was the successor of this Duke family. Of course, he could not postpone important reports just to see his young sister.
“You are my son but really… Come up to my office. I’ll listen there.”
The father, who was just like his son a few months ago, scolded his son who couldn’t even think of such a thing when he was a tadpole.
As Hugo and Arkhan were heading up the stairs to Hugo’s office,
“Brother!!!”
Cedric, who was a little late coming down while dragging Evelia, just arrived at the bottom of the stairs.
“Cedric.”
Arkhan’s golden eyes curved as he saw his younger brother coming from a distance. His always cheerful younger brother was always his energy source.
But what is that fur ball that Cedric is holding?
Despite the hot weather in August, fearing Evelia might catch a cold, Cedric came down wrapped in a blanket.
Arkhan, who didn’t think his little brother would bring his even smaller sister down here, narrowed his eyes to identify the fur ball, and
Swish.
A golden hair appeared from within the fur ball,
Peekaboo.
Then, clear blue eyes and rosy cheeks appeared.
It’s hot! Does this brother want to suffocate the baby! Evelia, whose eyes were asking for help and scanning the surroundings, made eye contact with the boy standing in front.
Ah, it’s my older brother.
Her tense lips moved without her realizing it. Her nose, seeing a stranger, twitched like a rabbit’s.
The small hand clung to Cedric’s clothes.
I don’t like studying and I hate going to the battlefield even more. I’m satisfied with just playing and eating moderately.
But it seems like that person will push my back saying, ‘You grub. Fulfill your duty as a member of the Duke family!’
But he is really handsome. Maybe in about seven years, all the women in this capital will be chasing after Arkhan.
Contrary to Cedric, Arkan, who had a serious demeanor, was truly deserving of being called the idol of the next generation of the Arcadia Empire.
Regardless, if she wanted to delay the time she would be chased away even slightly, she would have to use her privilege as a baby to garner some affection from her older brother, wouldn’t she?
Hehehe.
While letting out a laughter she found awkward even for herself, Evelia wriggled within the blanket wrapped around her, extending her hands towards Arkan.
The older brother, whom she had thought would at least come forward to hold her, merely stood in his place, staring intently at Evelia.
Feeling awkward, Evelia withdrew her hand and wore a gloomy expression, and a red hue slowly crept up Arkan’s cheeks and ears.
“Arkan, aren’t you coming?”
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.
