Chapter 211
No matter what happens, everything is ruined. I’d rather give death than let this continue. What’s the point of living like this?
I called out to Eun-ji in a soft voice.
“Eun-ji.”
“Mmm… Sister?”
Eun-ji opened her eyes with a drowsy face. I patted her back gently.
“How did you get here? Did you follow me?”
Eun-ji blinked sleepily as she answered my question.
“Yes! Eun-ji follows Sister wherever she goes. Sister and Eun-ji are connected.”
Perhaps it was because Eun-ji was a Magical Beast imprinted by me. When I was dragged beyond the Dimensional Rift, she must have been pulled along with me.
“The pretty friend’s power hurt Eun-ji. That’s why Eun-ji likes it here.”
The “pretty friend” seemed to refer to Yuanna Lucy. It appeared Eun-ji had suffered pain from the purifying power she wielded, which was Holy Power.
“Are you okay after eating that bad man?”
Eun-ji nodded vigorously at my question.
“Bad man smelled like ugly stone, so it was fine! Eun-ji got stronger!”
It seemed that consuming Jenas, who possessed a Magic Stone, had actually benefited Eun-ji.
“Now that you have strength, can’t you return to where you originally came from?”
If Eun-ji had consumed all of Jenas’s Magic Stone and evolved, it might be possible. I asked with a faint hope, but Eun-ji shook her head firmly.
“Can’t do it.”
So she couldn’t do it—how disappointing. But since I’d anticipated as much, I quickly accepted it.
Eun-ji squirmed in my arms. I looked down at her again.
“I’m sorry, Eun-ji. Are you suffering?”
“Not at all. Eun-ji is special, so it’s fine.”
Eun-ji smiled brightly as she spoke to me.
“Eun-ji shares fate with Sister. It’s been that way since the moment Eun-ji first saw you.”
“Since the moment we first met?”
“Yes. On the Island.”
“You were originally the Anaconda Magical Beast’s….”
I trailed off.
But Eun-ji spoke to me with fierce conviction in her eyes.
“No. Eun-ji is different. Sister and Eun-ji are special, aren’t we?”
Once again, I couldn’t bring myself to respond, and I gazed at Eun-ji’s bright face with complicated feelings. Then Eun-ji answered as if she understood what I wanted to say.
“I know. Eun-ji knows where she was born. But not anymore. Eun-ji changed after meeting Sister. Eun-ji got stronger. Sister is Eun-ji’s sister, mother, and the whole world.”
At Eun-ji’s wonderful words, I felt tears welling up, so I pressed my lips shut.
“Sister’s special magic power made Eun-ji special. Eun-ji is the one and only existence in the world. Just like Sister. Thank you, Sister.”
Eun-ji hugged my waist and nuzzled her face against me.
Perhaps I survived the Experiment on Alea Island entirely because of Eun-ji.
Of course, I also know it was possible because Yuanna Lucy, Eun-ji, my Companions, and I each played our roles.
Looking back, my life hasn’t been so bad after all.
“I’m grateful too, Eun-ji. You’re all I have, Sister too. I love you.”
But Eun-ji didn’t hear my words. She nodded off drowsily before succumbing to sleep, her breathing deepening into soft, rhythmic slumber. I pulled her close and lay back down beside her.
As I settled onto the sand, my body sank halfway into the seawater with a gentle splash.
What greeted me upon realizing there was nothing in this place was emptiness itself. What could I possibly do now?
I noticed my body gradually becoming translucent. Eun-ji was the same. I instinctively understood this was the process of dissolution.
If this truly was the Dimensional Rift, then this place was not where I belonged either. Perhaps I really would fade away like this.
Then,
where do I belong?
A pain that couldn’t be resolved by Jenas’s death alone consumed me.
Whenever I felt lonely, this small life nestled in my arms would comfort and console me. I was so grateful Eun-ji was here. Otherwise, I might have truly lost my mind in this place.
I sacrificed myself for everyone without hesitation, but truthfully, I never wanted to sacrifice anything. Where in this world would you find someone who actually wants to sacrifice?
I once heard that God only gives humans trials they can endure. But is this truly suffering a human can bear?
The things I left behind Beyond Dimensions came to mind. My family, friends, colleagues, and the man I love.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s face appeared in my thoughts. The sorrow of having to come here without conveying even a fragment of my heart to him was unbearable.
I miss him.
Would it have hurt less if I had told him just once that I loved him?
If there had been no days of confusion from memories of two dimensions. Then I could have spent time more wholly with the people I love.
Only regret remained deeply embedded in the places I had passed through.
Life is too short to spend it loving and being loved by those dear to us, yet here I am, about to meet death after wasting so much time already.
While I lay there meaninglessly, I suddenly heard a voice that shouldn’t exist in this place.
“Margaret.”
“Now I’m hearing auditory hallucinations too.”
What is this? I rubbed my ears vigorously while lying down. If Innis and Mother had seen me, they would have said it was unbecoming of a noble lady, wouldn’t they? What use is any of that now?
I smiled and closed my eyes again.
When would I finally meet death?
Lost in thought, I heard the sound of someone running toward me, splashing through the water. This time it wasn’t a hallucination. I turned my head in confusion.
“Margaret.”
This time, a definite voice called my name.
“Oh, damn it! You scared me!”
Already tense, I was startled even more. As I jerked my upper body upright, the frightened Eun-ji tumbled down from my lap and rolled across the floor.
I scooped Eun-ji up and held her close, then lifted my gaze.
And I saw the man standing before me. A prominent Adam’s apple above a resolute jawline, black hair as if he’d brought the night sky itself, and honey-colored eyes like spun gold.
I couldn’t believe it. I could only blink my eyes repeatedly. Was this a dream?
“…Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid?”
He was breathing heavily. His expression was desperately urgent. He dropped to his knees and collapsed before me. Thanks to that, our eyes were now level.
After composing his ragged breathing for a long moment, he looked at me.
“I’ve been searching for you all this time.”
“Is it really you, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid?!”
I screamed in shock. Eun-ji, held in my arms, covered her ears with both hands. I apologized and stroked her head before setting her down on the floor.
“Is it really you, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid?”
At my question, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid slowly nodded his head.
As death approaches, perhaps one sees what they wish to see. Maybe God grants me this final vision because I long for Enoch so desperately. If that’s the case, it’s not so bad.
While I stared blankly at Enoch, time passed yet the vision did not fade. Puzzled, I asked Eun-ji.
“Eun-ji, can you see this person too?”
Eun-ji nodded.
“Mm-hmm. Enoch!”
Only then did I realize the man before me was truly Enoch, and I let out a scream.
“Good heavens!”
I covered my mouth with both hands and looked at him, asking.
“How did you get here?”
“The Saint helped me.”
“…What? How?”
I remained crouched down, gently stroking Eun-ji’s head as she dozed off, and asked.
“That’s… a secret.”
Enoch did not answer me and kept his lips firmly sealed. Kneeling on one knee, he carefully caressed my cheek.
His golden eyes held countless emotions as he gazed at me.
“My life feels complete only when I’m beside you. Even if it leads to death.”
The moment I heard Enoch’s words, my breath caught. Indescribable emotions tangled together. I could not find words and covered my mouth.
I understood what he was saying now. He had come to die with me. My throat tightened and I paused to breathe.
After a long moment, I asked him.
“Did you come here intending to die with me?”
Enoch did not answer.
Is this what it feels like when the world crumbles? Towering joy and bottomless despair crashed over me all at once.
‘What am I supposed to do with this man?’
I cupped Enoch’s cheeks in my hands. With my thumbs, I gently brushed away his tears.
If this is truly a dream, is it God’s final gift? Perhaps, just perhaps. If this is not a dream at all. Then…
I bit my lower lip firmly and looked at him.
“Enoch. Why on earth…?”
I lowered my head and rested my forehead against his.
“I wished for you to live.”
“I told you. A life without you has no value to me.”
Enoch continued to whisper to me.
My eyes grew hot. Tears streamed down my cheeks and Enoch quietly wiped them away.
I leaned my cheek against his palm, furrowed my brow, and wept. He silently continued to wipe away my tears, again and again.
“I love you.”
At my confession that followed, his hand stilled. After a long moment, he opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at me.
“I’m sorry for confessing so late.”
I spoke through my tears. Enoch stared at me in disbelief. His golden eyes burned with intensity.
His lips trembled slightly, then he furrowed his brow. Soon he slowly washed his face and asked me.
“Again, say it again.”
“I love you.”
“Just once more.”
“I love you, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid.”
At my words, a smile bloomed across Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s lips. He slowly lowered his head toward me.
Large, firm hands cradled both my cheeks as his breath drew near. I gazed into his approaching golden eyes before slowly closing mine.
A soft, moist sensation brushed across my lips. Then Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid pulled down my chin, and hot breath intertwined between our parted mouths.
My mind filled with searing smoke. He pressed his body close against mine and soon deepened the kiss, consuming me further. His large hand swept down my back, and at that tender touch, I gasped and clung to him.
An eternity compressed into a single moment, and then he pulled away. His lips glistened, flushed and moist.
As my gaze lifted slightly, I saw Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s golden eyes regarding me with profound intensity. His voice emerged thick and strained.
“Say it once more for me, Margaret Rose Flone.”
He pressed me with a pleading insistence. His face held no composure. I stared blankly at his flushed cheeks before cupping them in my hands.
Rising onto my tiptoes and lifting my head as high as I could, I felt our lips meet with vivid clarity.
“I love… no, I’m in love with you.”
Before my words finished, thick arms wrapped around my waist. Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid lowered his head and pulled me into a fierce embrace, consuming my lips. An intense kiss followed, so powerful it left me breathless.
At that moment, Eun-ji, who had been dozing on the floor, opened her eyes.
“Huh? Sister?”
She looked between me and Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid with a bewildered expression.
At the sweet voice interrupting our crucial moment, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid slowly pulled away from me and pressed a kiss to my forehead. Seeing this, Eun-ji stretched both arms toward me.
“Sister! Eun-ji too! Eun-ji wants a kiss too!”
I looked down at Eun-ji and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
A smile graced my lips. I was not alone.
Thanks to those who remained by my side, I could escape the despair and sorrow of abandonment, the drowning loneliness of being left behind.
So I was grateful to Eun-ji and Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid.
Then, in that moment,
my vision suddenly began flickering white. Eun-ji tilted her head, glancing around in confusion.
Our bodies had been growing fainter all along, but somehow I had a premonition that this was truly the end.
Were we to meet death like this?
It didn’t seem so terrible. At least I wasn’t dying alone and forlorn.
Then Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid kissed my forehead once more.
“Margaret Rose Flone.”
“Yes.”
“I love you. Deeply.”
“Eun-ji too! Eun-ji loves sister too!”
I left a kiss on Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s cheek, then lowered my head to Eun-ji in my arms and kissed her forehead once more.
Tears fell.
Tears streamed down my cheeks without my knowing. My vision blurred. And at the edge of that fading sight, Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid pulled my hand, drawing both me and Eun-ji into his embrace.
And warm light enveloped us.
