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

He had always thought that Sherlock Clifford was on the same front with him.

Who knew this guy was so easy to tease?

Reiner smiled and said, "Although I can't make anything too gorgeous, if you need anything, you can come to me."

Ciel nodded.

After that, the two chatted for a while, and then Ciel stopped disturbing Reiner's work and returned to the manor.

But after coming back, he suddenly reacted.

I think I just gave him a ring, and it's a matching ring with the one in my hand...

Almost instinctively, Charles threw away the ring he had just put on his hand.

Then, despite the late hour, he knocked on Mernadette's door in a panic.

Melnadette opened the door in a daze and looked at Charles with a panicked expression, feeling a little strange.

"Ha~Brother, what happened?" Mernadette yawned and then asked.

"I suddenly thought of something. I have something to give you."

Perhaps because she was too tired, Mernadette instinctively closed her eyes while Charles was talking.

Although she dozed with her eyes closed, Mernadette still heard what Charles said, and she stretched out her hand unsteadily.

Ciel took out a ring and put it on her hand.

"Okay, you can go back and rest." Mernadette nodded with her eyes closed, then fell straight forward.

Charles quickly hugged her.

Looking at Mernadette who had fallen asleep, he slowly picked her up and put her on the bed.

Although Mernadette fell asleep, she held Charles' arm tightly.

Charles didn't take her hand away, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"I've given a man a ring before I've given a girl a ring."

"Charles, there's something wrong with you!"

Then he thought about his past.

It seems that during the Five Gods Era, the first ring he received was also given by a man...

For a moment he shuddered.

If the friend who "gave" him the Horcrux knew that Charles of this era was framing him like this, he would probably crawl out of his grave and beat him to death with a hammer.

Is that a gift from me?

It was obviously you who stole it!

While Charles was daydreaming, Mernadè adjusted her sleeping position and then talked in her sleep.

"Brother...bullying..."

Charles felt helpless as he looked at Mernadette who was holding his arm and not letting him leave.

I don’t know what she was dreaming about, but it’s obviously you who is bullying me now.

Chapter 198 Chapter 78 I was wrong, I will dare to do it again next time

Mernadette's sleeping posture was not very peaceful, which made Charles feel a little helpless.

While muttering "Don't look at what is inappropriate", Charles adjusted his position.

He was originally sitting on the north side of the bed, but now he has moved to the south side of the bed.

God knows why such a restless Melnadette could still hold Charles' arm tightly while tossing and turning.

I really don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that I am a superhuman - if I were an ordinary person, there would be no way I could hold Mernadette's arms without waking her up when she sleeps in such a terrible posture.

However, after seeing this side of Mernadette, Charles was generally happy in his heart.

The source of these secret joys was not because Mernadette hugged him too tightly and he took advantage of her inadvertently, but because of her dependence on him.

When she first started living with Charles, Mernadette slept very lightly - in fact, for a long time before that, Mernadette had been a very light sleeper.

Sleeping too deeply in the slums can kill you.

but now...

Thinking of Mernadette who had fallen asleep while standing while talking to him just now, Charles showed a gentle smile on his face.

He reached out and gently smoothed her hair so that she wouldn't get it in her sleep.

"Brother, this dress is so embarrassing..."

"Well... can I just give my brother a small kiss..."

"Lily, Lorna, stop making trouble and go to school obediently..."

Mernadette didn't say much in her sleep that night, but most of her thoughts were about Charles.

Early in the morning, ding-dong~

The alarm clock rang.

Every time she heard the alarm clock ring, Mernadè felt a sense of guilt.

When she was in the welfare home, she was able to wake up at a specific time every day.

But since moving here, this skill has been fading away from me.

I even overslept a few times.

Originally, it was the job of her personal maid Anna to wake her up, but Melnadette was not used to being taken care of in every possible way, so she asked Charles to buy her an alarm clock.

"Hmm... Is it already this time?" Mernadette rubbed her eyes with her hands, then slowly stood up.

"I feel like I had a lot of dreams last night... I seemed to have dreamed about my brother." While muttering to herself, Mernadette touched Charles' arm, which she had held all night.

"It's not just a dream~" Charles' teasing voice sounded.

Melnadette woke up instantly. Looking at Charles who was half lying on the bed and yawning, and the arm beside her, she seemed to understand something.

Almost in an instant, Mernadè curled up in the quilt like an ostrich and covered her head with the quilt.

"Brother..." she whispered.

"Last night I came to talk to you, little Melnadette, about something. Who knew you loved your brother so much? You held him tightly and wouldn't let go. You even carried me back to your room."

"Tell me, are you planning something bad towards me~"

Looking at Mernadette curled up in the quilt in front of him, Charles couldn't help but tease her.

"I, I won't do that!" Melnadette poked her head out, her face flushed as she said, "I... can't hold my brother."

"I can hold you, otherwise I would have gone back to sleep yesterday." As he spoke, Charles looked at his arm that was being held by Melnadette.

Following his gaze, Mernadette looked over.

She seemed to see some traces of saliva vaguely, her face became even redder, and she was a little afraid to look at Charles.

It's so embarrassing! It's so embarrassing!

If there was a gap in the bed, Mernadè really wanted to crawl into it.

She held onto her brother's arm and didn't let go, even drooling on it...

"And...Brother, I'm very sad..." Charles reached out and poked Melnadette's cheek. At this time, her cheek was so hot that she could fry an egg on it.

"When we were sleeping at night, Mernade, you actually made up a story about me, saying that I bullied you."

Melnadette quickly sat up and hugged Charles' arm.

"No, I, I... I like my brother the most."

"Really?" Charles looked suspicious.

Mernadette nodded seriously.

"Prove it." Charles hugged her.

Mernadette was a little embarrassed, but she still kissed Charles on the cheek with a blushing face.

Charles patted her head, then said thoughtfully, "Come to think of it, Melnadette said last night that she loved me the most and wanted to kiss me every day."

"No!" Mernadette waved her hands quickly.

She wouldn't dream of saying such a thing!

Although I love my brother very much, this kind of thing... How can I do this kind of thing every day...

"Mernadette admitted that she hated her brother, but she refused to admit that she liked him."

"As expected...Mernadette hates her brother?" Charles pretended to be dejected.

Although she knew that Charles was pretending, seeing his expression, Mernadette still carefully pulled the corner of Charles' clothes.

"I, I like my brother's..."

"I don't believe it." Charles shook his head.

"Then, then I will kiss my brother every month..."

"Every day," Charles said sullenly.

Melnadette shook her head quickly, then stole a glance at Charles's sullen face. After a moment's hesitation, she whispered, "How about half a month? Half a month is fine."

Ciel said nothing, still looking at her with a sad look.

Mernadette lowered her head and slowly buried it in her chest.

However, facing Mernadette who was pretending to be an ostrich, Charles did not come to her rescue this time. Instead, he reached out and pinched her hot cheeks.

After a while, probably knowing that she couldn't escape, Melnadette said in a very low voice, "Well, how about a week..."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at Charles pitifully.

"Well...a week will be fine then."

"But this week's~" Ciel pointed at himself.

Mernadette raised her head and quickly touched Charles' face, then she curled up in the quilt and refused to come out again.

Charles slowly stood up, pulled back the quilt and kissed Mernadette on the forehead.

Looking at Mernadette who was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed and waiting for him to leave, Charles stroked her cheek and turned to leave.

The longer he stayed here, the more Charles felt that he might not even be able to get a position as a prison guard in the center of the earth.

At this moment, he only hoped that as the high priest, he could have more time to go out for exercise than other prisoners...

He deeply realized his mistake, but... next time he encountered such an opportunity, he would still dare to do the same thing...

Chapter 199 Chapter 79 I rebel against myself!

After breakfast, Charles sent Floyd to protect Mernadette, who had not dared to look up at him, to go to school.

He got on another carriage and prepared to go to the Bourbon Palace.

The Bourbon Palace was once the royal palace established by Bourbon, a great king who laid the foundation of the Kingdom of York.

Later, due to its geographical location, the focus of Moroston's development began to shift in other directions, and thus a new palace was built.

The Bourbon Palace was used as a royal palace to house princes until the rise of Taylor's ideas and legal reforms in various countries. The Kingdom of York followed the trend and changed its system to a parliamentary system.

The Bourbon Palace became the seat of the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

Therefore, the Bourbon Palace is also known as the Parliament Palace.

Bourbon Hill was also renamed Capitol Hill.

Ever since the God of Vengeance was wiped out while eating hot pot and singing, the entire Kingdom of York has been plunged into panic. Many secret organizations have temporarily halted their development.

It is best not to use tricks outside the game if possible, but tricks inside the game are starting to become more frequent.
