Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

This way the house will become lively in the future.

My home now is not deserted, but there are many barriers between us because of our identities.

Even Lily and Lorna were still a little reserved when facing Charles. The other servants, except Anna, were even more respectful when facing Mernade, which made her a little uncomfortable.

If Theresa were at home, it might be more cozy.

"Why are you grinning like an idiot?" Charles asked as he reached out and wiped the rice stains from the corner of her mouth.

"I, I was thinking, if Sister Theresa also lived here one day..."

"Mernadette!" Theresa shouted loudly with her face flushed.

Mernadette scratched her head and said nothing more. She could hardly understand Theresa's feelings.

You obviously like your brother, so why are you afraid of others saying it?

If someone asked her if she liked her brother, Mernadé would definitely nod.

"Okay, okay, stop bullying Theresa."

"If this continues, Theresa won't be able to walk this afternoon."

Every time she was targeted, Theresa would lie down and pretend to eat hard when she was speechless.

Before she knew it, several large plates of food were already in her mouth.

"Humph! This little bit of food isn't even enough to fill my stomach!"

However, when facing a tsundere, any denial will only arouse the other party's desire to win.

Looking at Theresa, who seemed to have come to her senses and was holding her stomach but pretending that she could still eat, Charles was speechless.

"You'd better eat less, otherwise when you go back to school in the afternoon, people who don't know you will think that something happened to you in my house." Charles teased.

"What happened?" Theresa was confused.

However, when she met Charles's gaze and looked at her slightly swollen belly, her face suddenly turned red, and then she looked at Charles with murderous eyes.

If there wasn't a table between them, Theresa would have had the urge to pounce on Charles and bite him to death.

"Brother, this is too much. How can you say such things to a girl?" Melnadette on the other side criticized Charles.

"What?" Charles looked at Mernadette in shock.

He originally thought that Mernadette would not understand such words, but looking at her slightly red cheeks at this moment, Charles' expression became a little subtle.

Who on earth polluted the pure Mother Earth...Sister?

Now even this kind of thing can be understood in seconds! ?

Voice-over: Who is it? Don’t you have any idea?

Some time ago, Mernadette learned that Charles had been suppressing some of his habits because of her, so she persuaded him not to care about her.

There had been some minor incidents before this.

The cute Melnadette didn't know much about the City of Eternal Night and the things between men and women. She was very curious why Charles was obsessed with this kind of thing, and even let not going there affect his own state.

So she found some books and read them.

In her mind, going to the City of Eternal Night, Shire, was probably about doing something like "massage".

When she was young, many of her neighbors often went to cheap places on the edge of the Evernight City to do some things. When she asked the nun, she told her that it was a kind of massage that men liked, except for some special people. Most girls can only do those things with the people they like.

She felt that she loved her brother very much, so she could replace the girls in the City of Eternal Night.

This thought persisted until she opened an enlightenment book.

Mernadette herself didn't know how she finished reading the book, but after that she understood certain things.

I also know that there are some things that cannot be done.

At the same time, can you roughly understand Charles a little bit?

But if possible, between the City of Eternal Night and Theresa, Melnadette still hopes that Charles can be with Theresa...

After all, the book talks about a lot of related things, including the fact that going to that kind of place frequently has a high probability of getting sick...

"Anyway... Brother shouldn't say such things to girls. Although you and Sister Theresa..." Facing Charles' surprised gaze, Mernadette lowered her head and spoke softly.

What happened between Theresa and I is not important. What is important is your business.

Faintly, Charles seemed to see Teacher Alfor holding a big axe and showing a ferocious smile.

Chapter 176: Choice, Sif's Complex Feelings

"There's nothing between me and that guy!" When Charles felt the "danger", when he was about to explore the "secret" hidden in Mernadette and purify her mind again, Theresa jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

However, in everyone's eyes, her behavior at this time was similar to the behavior of "there is nothing silver here but three hundred taels of silver".

Even someone as simple-minded as Mernade was not fooled by her performance.

Facing the gazes of several people, Theresa quickly put down the chopsticks in her hand and strode towards the back.

"I'm stuffed!"

"It's time for a nap. I'm going to rest!"

Charles smiled and shook his head, shaking the bell. "Barton, take Theresa to her room."

"No need! I know the way!" Teresa said fiercely.

There isn't much else in the manor-style house, but there are plenty of vacant guest rooms.

Therefore, most of Charles' friends have their own guest room here, where they can take a nap if it's too late after dinner or in situations like the current one.

It is worth mentioning that Ciel also has his own exclusive guest rooms in Professor Endsworth's house and Severus's house.

But Charles didn't stay there for long.

After all, after visiting Endsworth, things could easily evolve into: City of Eternal Night, let's go~

And the Severus family...

Doug was so welcoming, and his private room was right next to Theresa's room.

Boys must protect themselves when they are outside. In order to prevent himself from being taken advantage of, Charles feels that his own home is better.

"Theresa is still as cute as ever." Charles said with a smile, looking at her back.

"So how come you guys have suddenly made such a big progress?" Sif asked curiously.

In just over an hour, she felt that the world had changed so much.

"Maybe you have figured out some things?" Charles said while picking up some food.

"Have you figured something out?" Sif didn't think much about it, then asked curiously, "So, will you be together?"

"When are you planning on having the wedding?"

"Maybe I need an opportunity, or I need to figure some things out." Charles' expression remained unchanged.

"Tsk...how come you're not as quick-witted as Theresa?"

After mumbling a few words, Sif remembered the most important reason why she and Theresa came here together, so she glanced at the already full Mernadette and said, "Mernadette, can you lend me your brother for a while?"

"I have something I want to talk to him about privately."

Mernadette nodded and was about to stand up, but Charles placed his hand on her shoulder.

"No need. You don't need to avoid Mernadette about things related to me."

Mernadette blushed slightly and was about to say something, but Charles reached out his hand and gently pinched her lips.

"You...are you the legendary sister-con?" Sif said with a twitching mouth.

"I just think that there is no need to hide so many secrets from your family." Charles knew what Sif was thinking and what she wanted to talk to him about alone.

It wasn't an important matter and the content of the conversation would not involve anything that Mernadè needed to avoid.

Sif hesitated for a moment and then spoke seriously.

"I received a message." Sif said seriously, "I don't know if it's true or not, but I think it needs to be taken seriously."

"What news?" Charles asked calmly.

"As you know, there is currently chaos within the kingdom due to the previous miracle."

"The rise of new forces will inevitably clash with the old order."

"And the Severus family is the most prominent family in this country."

Sif carefully considered her words and tried to describe her magical experience in a relatively normal way that could be accepted by others.

"In these few days, someone will take action against them."

"This time, the target is not only Theresa's father, but all members of the Severus family."

"There's a danger Teresa might be in."

"It's not that I don't trust Mr. Doug. I just hope that if possible, you can spend more time with Theresa during this period."

"I know this will cause you a lot of trouble, but... apart from you, I don't know who else to ask for help."

"I know this might be fake, but if it's true... Teresa will be hurt if we don't take it seriously."

"I won't ask you to help Theresa's family, but I hope you can protect Theresa."

Sif looked a little depressed.

Looking at Sif's appearance, Charles smiled, then stood up, walked to her side and put his hands on her shoulders.

"No need to be so humble."

"Teresa is not only your friend, she is also my good friend."

"Melanade and I will be with her during this time."

"Like you said, this might be fake, but if it's true... I definitely don't want to lose her."

"I'll also try to find a solution with Mr. Doug."

"Although I don't have enough power, I will never sit back and watch something happen."

"It's human nature to seek profit and avoid harm, but when it comes to friends and family, people will fight tooth and nail."

Charles's tone was not loud, but it was full of determination.

"Rocks..." Looking at Charles' expression, Sif's expression was a little complicated.

Before coming here, she was still thinking about what to do if Charles refused.

Just as he said, it is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.

When she was threatened by the Mitt family, she lost many good friends.

But she never complained, because she knew that was human nature. They all had good futures, and it was not worth it for her to get hurt.

The same thing happened to Charles at this time.

She had previously asked some seniors from the Truth Association to analyze the situation here.

If Charles did not get involved in some fights, Floyds and the other four would be enough to ensure his safety in this incident.

Even one day in the future, no matter which side wins, he can gain the status of a noble.

But... once you get involved, you might end up in a bloody mess.

On one side is wealth and carefreeness, on the other side is bloodshed and even death.

Even if Ciel chose to refuse, it would be normal in Sif's view.

But I didn't expect him to say such a thing.

"Teresa is so lucky to have a good friend like you..." she said seriously.

Ciel smiled and shook his head. "It's not just Theresa. I would be like this if you were in trouble."

"We're friends, aren't we?"

"Friends should help each other."

Facing Charles's firm gaze, Sif felt a little blocked in her heart for a moment.
