Part 2
(Side Story)
Episode 14
In the memories that flowed into him, Margaret Rose Flone gazed upon him with a brilliantly radiant smile.
The Margaret Rose Flone he knew was not a woman who wore such a flawlessly luminous expression.
“I’m Margaret Rose Flone from a different dimension. To be precise, I came from a parallel world.”
“I’m searching for Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s soul fragments. The Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid in this world possesses soul fragments from the Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid of my universe.”
According to her explanation, she could locate the soul fragments of the Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid living in her world through a kiss of love.
Kaiden and Yuanna Lucy dismissed it as nonsense and moved on. But Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid realized it was not nonsense at all.
“My life feels incomplete without you by my side. Even if it leads to death.”
The voice still echoing in his ears was unmistakably words he had spoken.
When I tried to recall when I had ever said such things, I realized those were not words I had spoken. Precisely because they were words spoken by a different Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid.
I couldn’t believe it. Yet I instinctively knew the truth. Though it was not I who spoke those words, it was I.
“I wished for you to live.”
“I told you. A life without you holds no value for me.”
“I love you. I’m sorry for confessing only now.”
Turbulent emotions surged in like a tidal wave, but it ended there.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid quickly regained his rationality.
He rose from his seat. He watched as Margaret Rose Flone opened the Camping Trailer and retrieved something from within.
As he approached her, he took the heavy luggage from her hands.
Kaiden and Yuanna Lucy stared at Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid in surprise, but he paid them no mind.
“Thank you. Let us all sleep comfortably and warmly in sweet slumber.”
When Margaret Rose Flone answered with a smile, Kaiden and Yuanna Lucy protested that it was unfair.
“What is this? You said you wouldn’t let us sleep unless we signed a contract!”
“That’s right, madam! This is too much!”
But Margaret Rose Flone showed no sign of thinking that way.
She shrugged and pointed to Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid as she spoke.
“This one has a different form of compensation to pay me.”
Everyone understood that compensation was a kiss.
He should have felt displeased, yet Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid did not. A mad thought crossed his mind—that what she demanded was entirely justified.
If the memories of the Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid from that other world that he recalled were real—
If her claims were true—
As Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid continued his contemplation, a woman dragging strange cloth into his field of vision caught his attention, fastening it to a pole to construct a shelter.
Even when he looked carefully and soberly, it was unmistakably Margaret Rose Flone.
The legendary Witch.
Did the legendary Witch he knew possess such abilities? Did she have such facets? Could she perform such mannerisms?
The answer was no.
The woman before him was decidedly not the vicious and malevolent Witch he had known.
She was not that Demon who had wielded him like a slave and plaything in her grasp.
“What can I help you with?”
At Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s question, Kaiden and Yuanna Lucy turned toward him with startled eyes.
Regardless of their reaction, a delighted Margaret Rose Flone pointed him toward the Camping Trailer.
“Come inside with me.”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid followed Margaret Rose Flone into the Camping Trailer.
The interior was packed with items he could never have imagined.
‘What on earth is all this?’
He followed the busy Margaret Rose Flone at a leisurely pace, surveying his surroundings and examining the stacked items with keen attention.
But ultimately unable to discern the purpose of the items, he posed a question to her.
“In the world where you live, you use equipment like this, then?”
At Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s inquiry, Margaret Rose Flone turned toward him, cradling an armful of items.
She handed the items to him, and he naturally accepted them.
The weight was substantial—so heavy that if she were the Witch he knew, she would never attempt to lift it by her own strength.
Margaret Rose Flone gathered other items and exited the Camping Trailer, speaking as she did.
“Yes. I’m not sure how to explain this. I’ve lived across multiple dimensions, you see.”
“…That is difficult to comprehend.”
“You don’t need to understand it.”
Margaret Rose Flone answered readily and stacked the items on the Floor.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid found her response unsettling somehow.
It was an attitude without hesitation. Her sole interest lay in what she called the ‘soul fragment of Enoch from the parallel world’—nothing else.
Even her current favoritism toward Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid existed only to obtain that soul fragment of the other Enoch from the parallel dimension, and once she obtained what she desired, her interest in him would vanish.
“Since I know what you desire, I could potentially obstruct your objectives in any number of ways, could I not?”
He couldn’t fathom what confidence had driven him to reveal all his cards.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s cold gaze fell upon the back of Margaret Rose Flone’s head. Kaiden and Yuanna Lucy, seated on a nearby Rock with their chins propped in their hands, listened to the exchange between the two with keen interest.
“Because my husband’s soul fragment resides within your body. My husband is no ordinary person. Don’t underestimate him. And besides, you and my husband are ultimately the same person anyway, aren’t you?”
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid understood the source of his discomfort.
The way she gazed at him as though seeing someone else through him.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid found it deeply uncomfortable that Margaret Rose Flone saw another Enoch through him.
“Do you know why I was able to possess the Margaret Rose Flone of this world? Because we are the same person.”
“Wait. Wait just a moment. The Witch has a husband? And it’s not Prince Hestia, but the Crown Prince?”
Kaiden interrupted her words in astonishment.
Margaret Rose Flone answered by shrugging her shoulders.
Margaret Rose Flone set up two Tents and, entering them, waved her hand toward Kaiden.
“Let’s get some sleep now. Tomorrow we need to go find Prince Hestia that you mentioned.”
Having answered thus, she disappeared entirely into the Tent and closed the Door.
The woman who had been pestering him about kissing at every opportunity, insisting they set up separate Tents, now simply told him to sleep well and vanished into her own Tent, closing the Door behind her.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid stood there with a bewildered expression, then glanced at Kaiden and Yuanna Lucy before entering his Tent to prepare for sleep.
Outside the Tent, commotion erupted. It was the sound of Kaiden and Yuanna Lucy quarreling over a difference of opinion.
But what could be done? The situation had already unfolded, and Margaret Rose Flone, carrying the Camping Trailer she’d created with a keyring, had entered her Tent and fallen asleep.
Kaiden and Yuanna Lucy had no choice but to fend for themselves outside.
It wasn’t my concern.
Enoch lay in the tent with a troubled expression, staring up at the ceiling.
The floor was plush, and the interior was cozy. Moreover, there were pillows and blankets.
Though Margaret’s remark about “parallel worlds” had momentarily muddled his thoughts, what mattered now was determining where they were and who had kidnapped them.
‘Margaret is definitely not the culprit.’
Yet he couldn’t entirely rule her out as a suspect either.
Don’t people exhibit superhuman strength when facing death? Since she’d been condemned to execution, it wasn’t particularly strange for her to do things she’d never done before.
“Enoch. I wanted to see you.”
“What are you doing, Enoch?”
“Enoch. Come here.”
Enoch furrowed the space between his eyebrows.
Margaret’s face kept flickering through his mind, calling to him. It seemed to be Margaret from another Enoch’s memories.
Her face was so beautiful and lovely that he found himself envying the Enoch from that other world, who saw her affection every single day.
Damn it.
‘I must be losing my mind.’
Margaret is beautiful and lovely?
She’s endearing? And I’m envious of the other me because of that?
He absolutely could not think that way. How had that woman treated him his entire life?
Right. First, I’ll conserve my physical strength, then get up and reassess the situation.
With that resolve, Enoch closed his eyes.
When Enoch opened his eyes again, the sun had long since risen.
After sleeping deeply for the first time in days, he emerged from the tent the moment his eyes opened.
Outside, he saw Kaiden sleeping in the tree and Yuanna sleeping on a flat stone, covered with a large tree leaf as a blanket.
His gaze immediately shifted to the adjacent tent.
The tent was silent. Margaret must be sleeping inside.
“Phew. You’re up early?”
Just then, Yuanna stirred and got up, and Kaiden, who had been sleeping in the tree, also awoke and climbed down.
“Early? The sun’s already high above our heads, Saint.”
At Kaiden’s sarcasm, Yuanna flipped him off.
Kaiden returned the gesture and approached Margaret’s tent.
“Margaret, are you awake?”
But the tent remained silent.
An ominous premonition crept over him.
Enoch pushed Kaiden aside, crouched in front of the tent, and tapped it gently.
“Madam.”
Still no answer.
“Margaret. Are you awake? Come out for a moment.”
Yuanna’s call went unanswered as well.
The three exchanged glances, signaled to each other, and opened the tent.
The tent was empty.
Sparks of fury ignited in Enoch’s eyes as he stared into the vacant tent.
