And she turned around with a slightly uneasy heart and opened the door.
“Ah.”
He appeared behind the softly sliding door.
El stumbled back as if she were a surprised kitten, although she hadn’t done anything wrong.
(This is a time divider.)
Lapellian was very surprised when he opened his eyes in the morning.
‘Did I sleep that deeply?’
That too, holding someone’s hand while seated in a chair.
He had difficulty falling asleep even in a comfortable bed, but he woke up after having slept soundly in an uncomfortable position.
He felt quite refreshed as his head was clear and his body felt invigorated after a good sleep in a long time.
Lapellian laughed at the absurdity of the situation, washing his face with empty hands.
‘Is this also because of El?’
It had been a series of incomprehensible situations since he became entwined with this small and unfamiliar being. She gave him a breather in his chaotic life and now even rest in his long and weary nights.
He looked at El as she sighed a slow and even breath.
This moment was similar to the one that brought unparalleled peace.
‘Yes, bringing El wasn’t solely out of responsibility……. I brought El then because of this feeling too.’
A fact momentarily forgotten in the midst of everything coming all at once, was revived.
‘It wasn’t a coincidence after all.’
Lapellian became certain after spending the night with El.
There is undoubtedly something about this frail human girl.
And he must never lose her.
It was the first time he wanted to hold on to someone so much because of his own greed and desire.
‘I really don’t know why.’
Lapellian staggered at the unfamiliar emotion, curious about what it was about El that made him feel this way.
He began to think about which book to look up to satisfy this curiosity, considering the list of books in his library.
El interrupted him slightly.
“Uh.”
As El tossed and turned in sleep, she pulled his hand.
Lapellian, who put his thoughts aside for a moment, was drawn to her and gently pulled his hand away.
The spot with her lingering warm body heat was not unpleasant.
He stared at his hand for a while and then turned his eyes to El.
“Sleep well.”
Lapellian looked at El with a smiling face, then stood up, feeling it would be rude to linger any longer.
He had just stepped away from the bed when he suddenly stopped.
“Ah.”
As he grew farther from El, a notsosmall anxiety suddenly overwhelmed him.
Along with the anxiety, this thought came to him.
‘What should I do if you say you are leaving me?’
Lapellian turned his body and looked at El, letting out a slow sigh.
The source of the engulfing anxiety was clear.
Lapellian was afraid of losing the peace he had tasted through El; it was too sweet. He, who had feared nothing in the world, was scared.
‘An unfamiliar human girl has such a big impact on me, even though we haven’t known each other long.’
Lapellian covered his mouth, where a hollow laugh had escaped, and quickly left the room to shake off the feeling.
“Your Grace? What brings you here…….”
Irina was standing in front of him just as he closed the door and turned around.
“Just checking.”
“It seems you woke up early because it’s noisy outside.”
“Ah, well.”
Lapellian did not show it, but he was taken aback.
‘Was it noisy?’
He tucked away his thoughts and pretended to carry on as usual.
“It rained all night, and then it snowed. Ah, only on the duke’s estate. They’re clearing the snow now, so it’s noisier than usual. My apologies, master.”
“Riel must have used his sleep abilities again. What is it, butler?”
Lapellian spoke with an air of familiarity.
But strangely, his pupils trembled.
“It’s about time for breakfast, so I thought I should wake the young lady.”
“Young lady… It doesn’t sound bad.”
“You commanded it so, my lord.”
“Let her sleep since she’s unaware of the world.”
“Understood.”
He passed by Irina, who was complying with his order.
He exited the hallway leading to the guest room, and the noise of daily life reached his ears.
Lapellian then realized that his sense of control was perfect when he was with El, without any particular effort.
‘I’ve always been on edge, controlling my senses…’
Lapellian hurried his steps to find an answer to this phenomenon.
Thus, he rummaged through the storeroom for a while.
But unfortunately, there was no particular gain.
(This is the time separator.)
Around 11 o’clock, Lapellian left the storeroom, took some food for El, and went to the guest room.
‘The one who gives food is the best person,’ he recalled the chattering of the servants.
Standing in front of the room, a small voice was heard.
“I received the gift well.”
‘What does that mean?’
Lapellian suppressed his curiosity and raised his hand to knock.
Then the door opened.
“Ah.”
El let out a brief sigh, as if meeting someone who shouldn’t be met.
Seeing El’s reaction, Lapellian felt like he had come in vain.
However, he adjusted the tray and put on the friendliest smile he could muster.
“May I come in?”
“Uh… Yes, yes!”
Caught off guard by his casual smile, El answered belatedly.
El quickly stepped back, making way.
“Where were you going? Did I interrupt you?”
“No, no.”
El could not tell the truth straight away.
The moment he saw Lapellian, for some reason, he could not say, ‘I don’t want to live here. I want to leave.’
‘Whenever I look into those eyes, I’m at a loss for words. I even forget what I was thinking. It’s like being enchanted.’
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.
