Chapter Text
-------------------
Frederica P.O.V
I was running, running from that cursed castle, even the sword saint was extremely hurt by Purge King's anti divine protection circles, but it was the sword saint after all, it was impossible for him to lose, it would be her salvation, a new chance to live, even if lord Roswaal was dead, she could find a job, her experience would save her, it a start from ze...
"Coward, why are you running? Maid...."
Frederica heard this phrase like it was a curse to her od itself, praying to od laguna to it be a Lugnican soldier and not a mercenary from Purge K-, no, from Subaru, he was dead, HE NEEDED to be dead, there was no room for failure, no room for him to escape, or else, she wouldn't see the sun anymore
"You didn't answer my question... Idiot"
She did vague to much on her thought, turning to see the voice she didn't saw a Lugnican invading, nor a mercenary from Plêiades, it was some sort of slave merchant by his clothes
Oh no
*Frederica was blacked out by a sudden impact on her neck, she didn't have time to react since she was focused on the Merchant, she would soon wake up to be sold as a sexual toy to some sick noble or becoming a work slave, she was confused when she woke up, it was... A man with cultist robes who was in front of her, she was in a cell*
"You've workee to a wrathful version of a good man who turned bad... Cougar, you think a man like him could be a hero if he was different?"
Frederica was, at the same time , offended just to think someone like Purge King would be good, but he seem broken inside, without life on his eyes, maybe he would have salvation? At least he hated the Witch Cult enough to exterminate them, even he had limits at some point, but he was a monster, her mind was racing in a point that even she didn't noticed the man called her a "cougar", she needed to answer
"He looked dead, like hell was in his eyes, but he was a monster, killed many innocents just by a drop of coin, but even i can see he was just, broken, i would have pity if he didn't fucking threat my family, or what remained of her... I think he could've been saved before i met him, Subaru Natsuki has salvation, Purge King doesn't"
The witch cult member seemed satisfied.
"Well, i not interested into teaching you the fucking multiverse shenanigans, neither i want to give you a book explaining the whole butterfly effect, so, i will say one thing to you, There are a infinity of worlds, where changes happened, the one you are is a very unfortunate one, Subaru Natsuki was supposed to be a hero, but was accused and considered a monster in a unjustified way, so he decided to turn into the monster they accused him to be, but there is one where he saved everyone, became a hero and is now on the Roswaal mansion, even being friends with another version of you, so, i want you to do something for me, if you do it, i will let you live in any world you want! The infinite possibilities of having the perfect life!*
The """cultist""" was saying something that Frederica never would consider possible in her entire life, another world? Infinite possibilities? The Purge King a Hero???? It was madness, but, his aura was emanating the truth, she saw in this man an opportunity, if he was right, she can live in a world where she can find love! She can help her brother! She can have a peaceful life with her brother and maybe some lover and without being judged by being a demihuman! She don't have anything, even with the Slave Merchant not being there, she could always be found by another, she doesn't even know where she is, this crazy man, is her only opportunity
"What i have to do?"
The man smiled
"I need you.. to live on Roswaal mansion of this alternative world so that i can have lot's of fun! Just it, 1 year? 2 years? 1 month? It will be until i am satisfied!"
Frederica wondered if it was the right decision, but, it didn't matter, it could be the wrong, but, i was her only idea.
"Yes, i will, what is your name, Cultist?"
"My name, is PrideBaru! But you can call me, Pride... Well
Thank you for your cooperation"
Before she could even reply, Frederica blacked out again, waking up to some voices
"BEAKO! WHY FREDERICA HAS FALLEN FROM SKY, AND WHY SHE IS IN TOP OF ME??? I CAN'T STAND UP!"
"I WAS TESTING THAT DIMENSIONAL PORTAL YOU'VE SAID TO ME I SUPPOSE"
"MA AMAZING SELF IS CONFUSED!!!!"
"WHY ARE ANOTHER ME IN HEREEEEE???????"
"Barusu, why there are two Fredericas?"
Frederica forgot to think that if it had another version of that cursed man, it would have another version of herself,
Well, she would have to explain a looooooot of things
