"You are a shameless, hypocritical, foolish, deluded, weak and dirty woman. Don't you realize that all this is simply useless?"
The table was occupied by two women, no, the correct thing would be to say that it was occupied by two Witches. A Witch of old who was once the wielder of the power of greed, cursed with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, Echidna. Before her stood what some would call a self-proclaimed witch, Emilia.
She looked at Echidna with determination.
"I won't give up, even though it's hard, I know I'm not alone, and I know that, someday, I will be able to pay back everything they did for me."
His amethyst eyes pierced her, causing even the witch to avert her gaze and growl under her breath. Until now, Emilia had been weak, but she wanted to avoid being weak anymore. If her weakness meant that the people she loved would get hurt and suffer, she wanted to avoid continuing being a woman who is a pain in the ass to them.
"Say what you want. Your pain is my amusement. Let's see how long those pretty words last now that you'll face the third test."
Echidna responded sharply to Emilia's statement and, in a voice colder than the one she usually used with her, pointed to a sort of black door that formed near the tea table.
"The test will begin when you walk through the door. You will be forced to see the consequences of your mistakes and interact with the disaster you caused. Basically, you will be sent to live with the future of different timelines."
Emilia looked at the door, she didn't quite understand the meaning of what Echidna called timelines. She plucked up her courage, took a deep breath and turned to her with determination. Echidna smiled before continuing.
"I will enjoy watching you squirm in despair."
When she walked through the door, there was only darkness. She could see nothing, she could hear nothing. There was nothing, it was an absolute emptiness.
From that infinite darkness, small lights began to emerge. There were 7 in total. Of different colors. The shape they had was similar to stars, the first thing she thought of when she saw them was Subaru, the kind boy who had kissed her and was now the father of the child she was carrying...
"This is no time to think about that!" she said to herself.
The first star was of a golden color, similar to brown. As if it was corrupted by something dark.
Confront pride.
A voice spoke, it was Emilia's voice. A cold and unfeeling voice. And the test began.
She finally understood
She could see it all. From the moment of divergence to the present. From the moment Subaru decided to walk alone a path full of thorns, a path covered with blood that would lead him to realize his desire. Dying countless times in the process.
She could finally see the world he saw, a world tinged with despair and pain.
She at last realized the sickening power he possessed, she at last could see the Return By Dead.
It was not ten, not a hundred, not a thousand, it was a little more than ten thousand deaths that she would witness in the infinite darkness of the ordeal.
The mechanism that governed time in that place must have been special, but it didn't matter... none of that mattered now.
Subaru continued his path of endless deaths alone. Some people helped him and wanted to support him. But none of them understood him, not even in the slightest. There was not even the slightest trace of friendship with the people he surrounded himself with... How can you trust the one who murdered you?
Did your Subaru also carry that?
"Please...stop...please stop..."
Dying. Don't die for me...
His pleas would never be heard... Instead, she would only see him die in horrible ways. All deaths were terrible, some more than others. But all were unbearable to watch.
Emilia shouted, prayed, begged and did everything in her power to reach him... she could only curse her futility after seeing the futility of her efforts and how what was precious to her was taken away from her again and again.
Subaru had no way of listening to her, and, instead, did everything that would hurt her the most.
Countless victims died because of the selfishness of that proud man who did not seem to realize how wrong he was. That man was blinded by his pride, a repulsive pride devoid of self-respect.
She watched all his actions for "love". Emilia had no choice but to watch the person who claimed to love her sacrifice herself and others in the name of a selfish desire, in the name of making amends for a mistake she had caused.
"This is all... wrong."
It wasn't right. It wasn't the way things were supposed to be. She didn't want things to be that way.
That Subaru lived, seeing an illusion of Emilia. He never knew the real Emilia.
She was a witch... a normal girl at best, not a princess, not worthy of being King. She was just a girl who wasn't even clear what her reason for fighting was.
That Subaru was a monster.
And, yet... she loved him.
Her heart cried out his name with love and sadness.
Subaru.
Countless times, he tried with all his might to break through the barrier that separated them. Countless failures. But she would never give up.
I must save him. I must tell him to stop. I must apologize. I must scold him. I must tell him I love him.
She was to save him from himself. Subaru was wrong. She was to bring him out of loneliness no matter what.
That man did not understand love. That man loved only an illusion, he was fed by a fantasy where he believed he really loved Emilia. But Subaru did not know her at all. That man did not understand true love, and she had to teach him.
As she stood in the darkness, watching the painful road traveled by the Archbishop of Pride, she knew only one thing.
I will never let my Subaru end up like that, I will never leave it alone.
She knew he was not the same Natsuki Subaru she knew. But he was still Subaru, the person she had fallen in love with and would share a child with.
When she finished seeing what that Subaru had experienced, Emilia took possession of the body of her version. It was the body of Emilia, the one from the world of pride. At the moment she took hold, she could see Subaru kneeling and with an icicle of ice piercing his abdomen.
"I love you..."
Subaru said those words over the blood of hundreds of thousands of people, over the entire royal capital in flames, on top of countless corpses that he had used to climb in the name of a mad desire for love.
She was sent to a point where the damage could no longer be reversed. The consequences of those decisions had to be faced. The capital was beyond salvation...
And what would Emilia do now in this situation?
"Puck... get us out of here, now." She moved at a great speed next to Subaru. The icicle of ice melted, and she carefully poured a healing power to the wounded abdomen.
Her voice was tinged with anger and disgust. But there was a hidden emotion in it that was uncertain to everyone, even to Emilia herself.
Puck looked at her dumbfounded; however, the intensity of Emilia's gaze conveyed the urgency and gave him to understand that this was non-negotiable.
Subaru tried to resist Emilia's actions and seemed to be trying to say, "What are you doing, you should hate me!"
But that was impossible...
A black portal materialized in the air and both were swallowed up by it.
And behind them, a Reinhard appeared with an expression of absolute hatred.
1 year later. Kararagi City State - Azamiki.
It was not an easy task to tell him and make him understand that he was wrong.
It was not an easy task to explain to him that I had seen it all and knew the secret.
It was difficult to get him to forgive himself and tell him to go on living his life.
It took time, it was slow. We got through it little by little, but we were able to move forward...
Together.
He hated himself so much..., yet together we learned to love each other. In every way. We learned to know each other, we started from scratch.
It was hard to explain to her that sooner or later, I would leave this place... and that the original me of this world would probably remember everything that happened between us. After all, she was me.
But it was fine.
They would be safe. Reinhard would never know where to find them and could not cross borders.
Licking
Licking
She was licking the tip of Subaru's cock. She moved her hand slowly and sucked it as far as she could. When he pulled away, she sucked hard.
"IF you keep this up, I guarantee I'll explode," Subaru growled. "And a lot sooner than you think."
Emilia let herself be swept away by the taste and smell of Subaru, soaking in his scent as she devoured him, more and more thoroughly. Each grunt of pleasure sent a shiver down her spine that made her whole body bristle.
Ever since they fled the burning capital, Emilia desired to shower him with pleasure. To reward him for all he had been through. To let him know that he was loved and that he need never again die to earn her love.
"Very good, Emilia. Keep it up," he moaned. "Fuck, how you suck it. I've never seen anything so beautiful."
Their gazes met. She locked her eyes on Subaru's, who had rested his head on the pillow to bask in the spectacle while she pleasured him. Their pupils met, but she didn't stop. The intense look of ecstasy sent a shiver of pleasure down her spine and she began to move faster, devouring him with genuine devotion, sucking him with fruition, her lips unwilling to part with his member
Subaru grabbed her hair and started to fuck her mouth harder. More intensely. Breaking eye contact.
"I'm going to explode, Emilia," he said in a gruff voice.
That made her possessive instincts take over, and she took the penis into her mouth as if it belonged to her, claiming ownership.
It ends for me, Subaru.
And Subaru came with a grunt, raised his hand and tried to push her away. She ignored the warning gesture, she wanted to savor her orgasm. His discharge flooded her throat, and she savored it with her tongue before swallowing it all, moaning in pleasure as the erect penis throbbed in her mouth. Next, she slid her tongue down the shaft to relax it, and then she lingered on the glans, not letting a drop escape.
How many times had they already done it? She could no longer remember how many times she had given herself to him.
I did it with pleasure
She remembered the first time they did it...
The first time they touched...
The first time they were intimate...
This Subaru version could be anything but gentle.
While Emilia was lost in thought, remembering, Subaru's outrageously hard and erect penis was ready for another round.
Emilia felt him press against her and quickly snapped back to reality, spreading her legs for Subaru to contemplate.
He placed Emilia's legs on his shoulders and without taking his eyes off her, he penetrated her deeply.
How could I put it into words, he was going to fuck her like a beast.
His hard, rigid penis drove her crazy. He was thrusting deep into her with every thrust.
At one point, he stopped and asked, "Do you like it like this?"
She nods. But he demands that Emilia speak to him and stops until she replies, "Yes."
"Do you want me to continue?"
Eager for more, Emilia reaches out her hands, grabbing Subaru's ass, and pulls him to her. Subaru's eyes sparkle, and Emilia realizes he's smiling in pleasure. He liked knowing she wanted him, and they rock together.
Emilia moaned again and again. Subaru was plunging inside her with force, with need. She could feel her womb contracting.
After several minutes, Subaru lets out a grunt, lets himself fall harder on her and unloads all his love inside.
She had saved him.
That world was finished.
Emilia could feel her consciousness fading and the other taking over.
She was sure that, if the other one was also Emilia, even a little bit... she would love Natsuki Subaru with all her soul.
