I dont think it was witch craft. I personally think that spark or "de ja vu" feeling if you will, happened because according to the novel, had he not met raeliana, he would have fallen in love at first sight. But since he met her the novel derailed...so basically yes...you are reading too much into it lmao
The soul in Beatrice’s body is actually the real Raeliana and the soul in Raeliana (our mc) is the real Beatrice that ended up in modern world. Noah wouldn’f fall in love with Beatrice (the villain) because the one he really loves is the soul and he would even follow our Mc in modern world. I believe I remember Beatrice the villain died in the end. (● ̄(エ) ̄●)
SPOILER/Question for those giving the spoilers
When Noah first caught a glimpse of Beatrice, the thing happened, like he would develop feelings for her (love at first sight) like in the original story. Since Beatrice is actually a witch, is ir still possible for Noah to get those feelings for her? Does he fall for her? The moment I realized she was a possible love interest/rival I wanted her to die, but I'm curious if i just read too much into it?
