Even before Khaled realized his own feelings, it was Velia who first caught onto his heart. Hence, she must have preempted and fled. Like someone afraid of something. As if it was too scary to bear.
So, Khaled tried to approach Velia slowly.
But every time she looked at him with eyes that explicitly showed she was shaken by him, he increasingly wanted to see what came next. Despite not being an adolescent boy, he didn’t know what to do when he saw Velia and desired her.
‘…No. There’s no need to rush.’
She was clearly shaken by him.
But Velia, a coward, will continue to run away, and in such a state, he had no choice but to keep chasing her. Knowing this fact clearly, Khaled decided to start this chase.
Khaled truly wanted Velia.
He even wished for a single glance of hers.
The deep and intense longing in his eyes looking back at the garden where Velia was, disappeared in an instant.
[This is the time separator]
“Hahaha. So?”
“So there’s a rumor that the Second Prince has been tailing your sister?”
“Velia must be in a predicament.”
The siblings spending time together after a long time.
Cloze excitedly explained the recent happenings to Herald, finding it quite amusing.
“Every time he personally picks and wraps flowers from the garden, it doesn’t suit him at all, does it?”
Velia, who had been indifferently observing the situation, turned her head towards her younger sister at Cloze’s words.
Cloze, resting her arm on the table, crinkled her face and continued.
“You have no idea how hard it is to look away when a man who looks so dark and dangerous walks around with yellow flowers.”
“Hahaha. But it seems he really likes our Velia, so I’m actually quite happy.”
Believing that they are a good couple, Herald simply laughed heartily.
Velia cast a worried glance at her brother.
Being so naive, what would he do in the future?
Didn’t he fully trust Raul just because she said she liked him before?
“Brother, even though the Ingot Empire is our ally, they are not completely on our side.”
“I know.”
“No. Don’t forget that even if I become the princess of the Ingot Empire, they are not entirely our allies. Always be alert and do not lose suspicion.”
Upon hearing Velia’s firm words, Herald asked with a serious expression.
“Velia. If something happens, don’t hide it and tell me.”
“…There’s nothing.”
“I really can’t figure out what you’re thinking.”
After taking a sip of his tea, Herald put down his teacup.
“Do you truly love Prince Khaled?”
Velia hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth.
“…Yes.”
“Alright. Then it’s settled.”
Looking at Herald, who was smiling with a kind face, Velia wore a worried expression.
Then, Cloze, who was biting into a cookie, spoke grumpily.
“It seems like you’re worried about what will happen after going to the empire. It might not sound good to say this, but I think I’m pretty quickwitted and can judge the situation well, so trust me and don’t worry too much.”
The still younglooking Cloze looked at Velia with firm eyes.
“To be honest, it’s not like the princess is only you. I quite like this life, so you don’t have to be tied down.”
Cloze finished her words, reached out for another cookie, and took a bite.
For some reason, her sister, who said such things, seemed cool.
It seemed Herald had the same thought as he opened his mouth in a hurry.
“Trust me too. I know it doesn’t seem like I can do much from your perspective….”
Herald gave an awkward laugh and scratched his cheek.
“But let’s try our best.”
Then he grinned, showing even his teeth, as if trying to look reliable.
Seeing this, Velia burst into laughter.
[This is the time separator]
Velia looked over the documents Khaled handed to her.
“…It was true.”
At Velia’s words, Khaled nodded his head.
Raul was deliberately controlling the information. The investigation team had reported several times to the superiors about the monsters found in the mountains, but all were intercepted in the middle.
“Do you intend to publicize this?”
“No. Leave it alone for now.”
As expected, Raul was planning to exterminate the monsters while Khaled was unaware.
“Then why did you tell me to look into this?”
“He will fail.”
Velia smirked and said, as if it were amusing.
To monopolize the glory alone, Raul had to succeed only with his knights. Therefore, he would not take Khaled’s knights.
Then nothing differed from her past life. Velia intended to use Raul’s failure as a stepping stone to highlight Khaled’s actions.
“Have you read the report?”
“Yes.”
“Don’t you think he will fail, even from your perspective?”
The report detailed the types of monsters found.
Most were mere small fry, but the monster lurking in the river was a very dangerous one.
“I don’t know why Alarag is there.”
Alarag was a monster that lived in the lakes of highland regions.
There were few instances of it being found in such lowaltitude areas.
With extremely sharp claws, tough skin, and even a slimy mucus covering its body.
The most troublesome part of defeating Alarag was this mucus.
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.
