It hurt, but she could move, so it wasn’t a fracture, and this level of bruise would heal quickly as time passed.
The girl just wanted to remain a good person in the eyes of this wonderful and beautiful person.
But Lapellian could not back down like this.
He couldn’t abandon the injured person, even if he set everything else aside.
He was a very responsible person, and letting her go like this was something his conscience wouldn’t allow.
He opened his mouth again to do ‘persuasion’, something he would never do to those who approached him for the purpose of using me.
“Do you know about Mosteros?”
“I’ve heard of it. Mosteros Ducal House. How could I not know living in the north?”
“If you’ve heard, you know. Mosteros’ family repays gratitude. I must be an example as the eldest son of Mosteros. Do not make me defy my family’s tradition and become a villain who ignores the injured.”
“Vi, villain? You’re not that kind of person to me. And there’s no such favor.”
“You save my brother’s life and say there’s no favor. You should be treated as our benefactor. And give my brother a chance to thank you properly.”
The girl looked into his honest and kind eyes.
It seemed like the blue eyes were drawing me in, tempting me.
It seemed that a different world I didn’t know would unfold if I followed him.
His azure eyes kept saying to trust him, that he would be different from those I’ve encountered so far.
But she still hesitated because her life so far had not been easy. The shadow of a scary boss kept following her, making her hesitate in her decision.
“I …….”
“And leaving everything else aside, you should take care of yourself.”
Lapellian looked at a bruise on her arm that seemed about to swell.
‘It must hurt…….’
Even if she didn’t think like others who would naturally care, she should at least look after her own pain.
What had made this young human neglect even her own body? Now he was concerned about that.
“What? What did you say just now …….”
The girl followed his gaze and then asked blankly, trailing off.
The words she had just heard shook her weakened heart.
His single word was a huge resonance to her, who had always heard only that she was useless.
“You don’t have to be fine with pain. There’s no one who doesn’t need treatment for a wound. You should value yourself a little more.”
“Is there any worth in doing that for me?”
“Of course. You have a priceless value. Look now. You saved another person’s life with your existence. It’s precious.”
She couldn’t take her eyes off the straight blue eyes coming toward her.
‘Precious and valuable …….’
She had been a body even abandoned by her parents. But a complete stranger tells her to cherish herself. To take care of herself.
‘I am a useless person, so I was abandoned…’
The girl’s chest was throbbing. The sensation was so peculiar that she even felt the urge to scratch her chest.
“It might be painful, but get well soon. And you should see what the value of your existence has brought about. Make sure to take what you deserve. Will you come with me?”
Lapellian straightened his posture, which he had been lowering, and reached out his hand.
She was not sure if she would take it, but she couldn’t read any refusal in his red eyes.
So, she made a move for now.
The girl stared blankly at the pale and fraillooking hand extended before her eyes. She had clearly said that she could just go, but her heart and body did not move as she wanted.
‘My value, what I deserve…’
The words she heard for the first time were enough to shake the girl’s heart, and it made her forget the ruffian that had been wildly tearing through her mind.
As if bewitched, the girl timidly grasped the straight, outstretched fingers.
Lapellian looked at the hand holding him with a slightly warm expression.
For a moment, he felt as proud as if he had won a tremendous competition, or as if he had obtained a great treasure, a corner of his chest feeling tight and pleased.
A faint smile lingered at the corner of his usually expressionless mouth.
(This is a time separator.)
Only after she had moved quite a bit with Lapellian in the car did the girl realize that she had committed a tremendous act.
‘What should I do by holding that hand? Why did I follow along here?’
She had only looked at this pile of scrap metal, never imagining the day she would ride it herself.
She wondered why she had gotten on here with her own feet.
And the biggest problem in this incomprehensible situation was just that.
‘I’ll get scolded a bit by the boss, but… oh, I must smell.’
The girl wanted to sniff herself here and there.
But since she could not do such a thing, she suppressed the rising urge inside her, only tearing at her poor fingertips with chipped nails.
‘I just saved a puppy about to be hit by a car… Why wasn’t it a puppy?’
Of all things, it had to be the youngest son of the Mosteros Duke’s family.
A direct line of that wolf noble family, which is said to stand at the pinnacle of the Empire’s four major families.
The more the girl chewed on it, the more she felt that a lowly being like her shouldn’t be in the same space with him.
Part of her wanted to hide in a mouse hole because of her filthy, rough appearance, which reminded her of the difference between her and him.
‘Should I jump out?’
The girl rolled her eyes nervously.
Swallowing dry saliva at the landscape swiftly passing by, she thought,
‘Will I die? I’ll die, won’t I?’
The girl promptly abandoned that dangerous thought.
She didn’t even know how to open the door.
The girl cautiously turned her eyes, which had been facing outside the window in a stiff head, back.
And then she observed a very splendid man, unlike herself.
The word “perfection” might be used to describe this person.
Smooth and sleek jawline, gracefully wellextended nose, she couldn’t find any flaws.
She wanted to look at him more, but fearing that she might get caught, she quickly lowered her eyes.
“Squeak.”
Just then, the young wolf lord, Rielo, who was snuggled in the girl’s arms, whimpered.
Rielo, who insisted on being held by the girl as if wanting attention, rubbed his head against the girl’s hand and acted charmingly.
“It’s soft.”
The girl momentarily relaxed her tension and chuckled softly, tickling the soft fur with her hand.
Then, Rielo raised his body, resting his front paws on the girl’s shoulder, and opened his mouth wide.
“Ah.”
“Rielo, don’t bite.”
Rielo, who was about to show a very wolflike sign of affection, was stopped by Lapellian.
The slender, wellextended hand quickly took Rielo away.
Surprised at what was happening, the girl looked at the swinging wolf and caught his eye.
“I’m sorry.”
Apologizing, with his pretty eyes softly curving, the child inhaled sharply and closed her eyes.
‘It’s distressing to my heart.’
The girl tightly clasped her hands together, trying to calm her pounding heart.
While the girl was struggling on her own, Lapellian gently stroked Riello’s fur.
The soft fur shook back and forth in his hand.
Then Riello cuddled into his arms, acting playfully.
“Acting playful is useless. Coquettishness is the same.”
“Meow.”
“You are now in a time where your physical strength and balance do not match, so I have repeatedly told you that you may suddenly revert to human form.”
“Woof.”
“If you suddenly revert to human form, you won’t be able to move your body for a while, so it could be dangerous. Therefore, I have advised you to always take an escort with you if you go anywhere.”
“…….”
Riello, who had been meowing, lowered his eyes and hid his face with his front paw, looking sullen.
Lapellian lifted him up with both hands, revealing the eyes he had been hiding, making eye contact with his brother.
“But sneaking out of the house? I’m going to watch and see what the result of your thoughtless and careless behavior is. Every action comes with responsibility and consequences.”
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.
