Rem's POV
Heavy…
When is she going to let us go!?
The sun is already out! And, we have been like this for a while.
“Err…heavy.” I complained.
“O–oh! I’m sorry…” she stutter and step back but her hands is still on our shoulder.
“H–hmm?” she look confused and keeps on looking everywhere.
“What's wrong?” asked Rom.
“A–are…you alone? I t– thought you're with a girl.”
Does she mean me?
Oh right! She doesn't know about my condition…but I'm confused on how she can hear me?
A bright bulb appeared in my head, hehe! Let me scare her a bit.
“Owooo…” I mimic the sound of the ghost.
“W–what...is that?” she asked. I bet she’s scared haha! And, I was right! She can hear me.
“It’s just my twin sister that is inside of me.”
Rom! Why do you have to ruin everything?
“W-what?” she looked confuse. Of course she is! who wouldn’t be confused if someone tell you something weird.
“I have a twin sister and she is inside of me.” said Rom.
“Hello!” I used a tone with excitement so that she will know that I am happy to meet her.
Her face is shocked.
“We uses the same body but separate minds furthermore, we can read each other mind.”
“W-wait…I don’t understand. Are you mentally ill?” how rude! I change my mind…I’m not happy to meet her! Can we do something to curse her again?
“Just like you, this is the doing of a curse magic.” Rom continued.
“M–magic?” don’t tell me she doesn’t know what magic is? Great Grandpa said she’s strong but right now, she looked like a clueless person.
‘Her curse maybe affect her memories.’ Rom said to me through Telepathy.
‘Rom, try asking her about Great Grandpa.’ If she knows about Great Grandpa then she didn't forget her memories.
“Do you know who is Asmodeus Demetrius?”
“Who?” what?! She doesn’t know the person who take care of her for years?
‘Rom, try asking her about her past.’
“Do you remember anything about your past?”
“Yes…” she answered. Thank goodness! So, Her memories is not gone at all but why forget Great Grandpa?
“I have a twin siblings and I work part-time jobs.” She continued.
Huh? What is she saying? Twin siblings?
In the book, the Witch don’t have any siblings and what the hell is part-time job??
‘Her memories is altered, maybe that’s what she been dreaming while under the curse and it made her think it is her reality. She doesn’t remember anything at all.’ Rom said through telepathy
‘But, it said in the book…she put herself in the curse where she is like a corpse. How can she be dreaming?’ It’s confusing, its impossible for her to dream.
‘That’s only an explanation I can come out with. We don’t really know if what written in the book is entirely correct.’ Rom have a point. The inside of the book is only consist of what Great Grandpa perspective.
“Oh! Are you alright?” the Witch is back on the ground. I guess, she's still can't stand on her own for long.
“Let's talk again. For now, you need to rest.” Rom help her to stand and support her to the bedroom.
The Witch is walking difficulty while Rom is grinding his teeth even though Rom is the one supporting her, I can still feel the heaviness.
“The book says that this is your room.” we lay her in bed.
“T–thank you.”
The room is massive…it’s like a room of a Queen. It has a massive windows with curtains and an alcove!
The architecture is exquisite.
It must be nice to live here.
“Rom, are you looking for something?” I notice that Rom is being nosy like he's looking for something.
“I'm looking for a button.”
“A button?”
“Here it is.” In the head bed, there's a hidden button.
Rom pushed the button. And, several hands came out under the bed and massage the Witch's body.
As the hands massage her, she's in pain. It must be hurt cause she haven't moved until now.
But Creepy…I don't want that many hands to touch me.
“We will be at the Kitchen. Call us if you need anything.”
We left the Witch's room.
“Rom, how did you know about the button?” I asked.
“It’s in the book and Great Grandpa design it.”
“I didn't know Great Grandpa can design something like that, it’s weird.”
“Great Grandpa made it for the Witch. A long time ago, the Witch is always tired from work so Greatpa made something where the Witch could feel relaxed and healed.”
“Still…its weird. By the way, the Witch haven't said anything when we were in her room.”
“Yeah, she's in deep thought. That's why we’re going to the Kitchen to bring her spirit back.”
“I’m famished! Whatcha gonna cook?”
“I’m not going to cook for you. It's for the Witch.”
“Eh?? What about me?”
…
Ester's POV
Curse magic…I don’t want to believe it but from what I experience…I can say that its magic. Beside, I should be dead and my other half is squashed but as I touched it…its like nothing happened.
Nothing can treat that badly injury…beside magic.
I can still remember how it felt.
I stopped thinking as I felt a strong grip on my upper limb, I didn't notice that my grip is already on my limb.
My knuckles hurts…I should not exert that much effort. My body is still not in a condition but it’s not that worst before I got a massage in this bed.
Ah…that really hit the spots.
But the hands is still creepy as they seem.
It's feels like two and a half years, I have been sitting on that throne. Thankfully, my body didn’t get rot.
I should do some hand stretching for my joints to recover.
As I am doing my stretching, a strand of hair falls into my face. And, I noticed it’s color…white? No, it’s silver!
What happened to my hair?! It's color changed…is it because I don't have enough melanin for the past two and a half years? Maybe…cause as far as I remember, I didn't eat or take anything when I'm immobile.
I sighed, “How can I turn this back?”
“You can't turn it back.. It’s now your original hair.” What? Whose there?
I sat up and as I look at the window, there’s a man with a…weird hair.
It’s flying! His hair is flying! And, it’s hurts to look at because its glittering and shiny!
“Who are you?” my throat still hurts but is not like before where I stutter everytime I talk.
“I am Calcifer.”
