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

After saying these words, Theresa said no more.

Before, she asked if she could tell others about Charles' secret?

Charles nodded calmly and told her to make her own decision.

But Charles also said at that time that she and Melnadette were probably the only ones who knew about his affairs.

In a way, Teresa thought this was a little secret between lovers.

So Theresa had always protected this secret very well—even though she only knew that Ciel was a high-sequence transcendent, she didn't know his exact sequence, his true identity, or why he chose to assume this identity.

If she asked, Charles would have said more. But he waited for a long time, and except for the occasional silly smile of Theresa after she knew the secret, she never asked Charles more questions.

This made Charles himself feel a little confused.

Charles, who left countless romantic stories in history without using any supernatural powers, was actually unable to directly guess a woman's heart.

"Rocks...is not an ordinary person?" Theresa's words made Peroz fall into deep thought.

She began to search her memories, from her first meeting with Ciel and their subsequent interactions.

Compared to ordinary people, compared to his identity and experience, there are indeed many unreasonable things about Rocks...

Chapter 267: Peroz's Conjecture

In Peroz's cognition, Charles has always been a very special person.

Her father had supported many people, but there were very few people like her who kept him in mind after his death.

At the same time, Charles does not value money and interests like people from the lower class.

Before going to the island of Yevers, after careful consideration, Peroz left a letter that qualified him to inherit the Krolov family.

Faced with such a letter and such an opportunity to achieve success overnight, Charles' attitude was different from what she expected, and even somewhat inhumane.

Although the Krolov family is not large, because each generation of the family heads have been able to leave their own mark on the times, the status and network resources they represent are envied even by a ducal family like the Severus family.

At the same time, the Krolov family's bloodline and the extraordinary sequence path they possess have been coveted by the Severus family for a long time.

Faced with such benefits, Charles' attitude was troubled - because of this qualification, Theresa appeared in front of him.

From many perspectives, given his status at the time, It was an honor for him to be pursued by Theresa, but he regarded her as a trouble and rejected the olive branches thrown by the Severus family several times.

An orphan from an orphanage was unmoved by all kinds of benefits, and even showed no fear when facing the Severus family...

Peroz and Charles had a good relationship since they met, so she never noticed the inconsistencies in each other.

But now that he thought about it, Charles's behavior was indeed a little strange.

At the same time, many things are terrifying when you think about them carefully.

For example, when she first learned about "Charle Rocks" and was about to contact him, she happened to meet that mysterious man. And that mysterious man told her his name, which was also "Charle Rocks".

This is too much of a coincidence!

wrong...

Peroz quickly suppressed this bold idea.

After all, it's a bit too absurd.

The mysterious man who called himself Charles Rocks was actually a god. He claimed to be the high priest of the Church of the Earth in ancient times. The power he possessed and the personality he displayed were completely different from the Charles Rocks she knew as a teacher in the academy.

The most important thing is that in her memory, the attention to Rocks beside her was only after the appearance of that mysterious man.

But before he appeared, Charles' figure had appeared in the priest in the church and in her own childhood memories. Although a little immature, she could vaguely find traces of Charles' current image in those pictures.

The mysterious man is a god, and his ability may be able to affect his own memory or even interfere with fate and modify some content.

But with the pride of God, he would never deceive her like this in front of him.

You know, as a relatively useful tool man in several collaborations, Charles not only provided some conveniences to Peroz, handed her the key to the virtual palace, but even revealed his "true face" in front of her like Reiner.

This face belongs to "Charles Rocks", but it belongs to the "Charles Rocks" who has passed away.

The faces of both "Charles Rocks" had been revealed to Peroz.

As a subordinate god, if he didn't want to show his appearance, he could just ignore my request - after all, although the two of them were cooperating, their status was not equal.

There is absolutely no reason to deceive myself, a person who is not even a high-level transcendent, with a false face.

So...is it possible that the two are still the same person, but that previous face was real, and this one is fake?

That’s not right either.

This makes even less sense. After all, considering God's status and dignity, if he really wanted to live an ordinary life, or wanted to experience life, he might eventually take away the memories of those around him, but he would definitely not face these "ants" and change his appearance.

They didn't deserve it.

The two people must not be the same person, she thought.

But based on this idea, she had even worse guesses - for example, the idea that Rocks, whom she knew as a good friend, was just a puppet, or a puppet being manipulated.

"Peroz?" Seeing Peroz lost in thought and not answering for a long time, Theresa couldn't help but call her softly.

However, Peroz seemed to have grasped something in his mind, but also felt that something was missing. He tried hard to suppress everything about the two images in his mind and directly ignored Teresa's voice.

"Peroz!" Teresa was speechless, then raised her voice.

But Peroz still didn't respond.

There was no other way. Teresa walked to Perozzi and hugged her tightly, shouting in her ear: "Perozzi!"

This time, Peroz was finally awakened by Teresa's voice.

"Is there something wrong?" Peroz, who was still thinking about something, asked according to his body instinct.

"I have something to tell you." Teresa said seriously.

"Locks told me that no matter what secrets he may have hidden, he is still the same person we knew from the beginning."

"He will always be that Charles Rocks, and he will always be our good friend, and my..." Theresa blushed slightly.

Peroz shook his head. "Maybe he will be the person you knew at first, but he will definitely not be the person I knew at first."

"The Severus family should have investigated the relationship between him and me."

"Although the corner of his memory is very small, I have seen the Ciel that I should know when I was very young."

"He was very thin, but his eyes were extremely bright. Although he didn't leave any impression on me at the time, after I heard about what he had been doing from the pastor of the church near my home, everything about him became clearer in my mind."

"It was based on this understanding that I made my first formal visit to him, got to know him, and became friends with him."

"And now..."

"Perhaps the foundation of our cognition is a lie..."

Peroz felt a little uncomfortable.

She has few friends, so she cherishes her friends very much.

Even though she knew that the Kingdom of York was in great danger, she ignored the advice of her teacher Hogot and returned here.

There were two people who made her so determined. One was Theresa, although she didn't like the Severus family and didn't like Doug's idea of ​​introducing his children to her.

But Theresa was her friend since childhood.

The other one is Charles.

Although they had known each other for a short time, she had a very good feeling about him.

When she first got to know him, she was sure of his character. Later, when they met, his attitude towards her and the character he displayed all quietly enhanced her favorability towards him.

Later, during the war caused by the unsealing of the Black Fire, his comfort and guidance to her slowly entered her heart.

Prasati encountered the mirror of herself and saw her husband, Charles Rocks, in the mirror.

Although she always believed that this picture was not her true inner prayer compared to other pictures.

but...

Sometimes, she would wonder, if there was no Theresa... would she and Charles really be just friends?

Perozzi's feelings for her friend "Charle Roques" are very sincere, although this sincerity is mixed with some complexity.

But it was precisely because of this sincerity that she couldn't stand being deceived.

"Is Rocks here... There are some things I want to ask him myself." Looking at Theresa who seemed to not know what to say, Peroz spoke after a long silence.

This was probably the first time I saw Perozzi with such an expression.

Teresa, who had been developing in the direction of being naive recently, instantly regained her former intelligence. At the same time, based on her understanding of Peroz, she was unable to be completely sure of the other party's inner thoughts.

But you can vaguely sense some of the other person's thoughts.

For a moment, she felt a little panicked and regretful.

It shouldn't be like this...

If Theresa had known that things would develop in this direction, she would never have asked Peroz to decipher the map, nor would she have told him about the special nature of Ciel.

"Rocks went out for something..." Theresa hesitated and grabbed Peroz's hand.

"Actually...things aren't as bad as you think."

"Locks never thought of hiding anything from you."

Peroz remained silent.

"I knew there was something special about Rocks very early on, and it wasn't something I discovered on my own."

"But Rocks confessed it to me."

"At that time I asked him, can I tell other people about these secrets?"

"Rocks didn't ask me to keep it a secret. I just didn't tell you because of some small thoughts in my mind..."

"After all, even though I know it's a little impossible, I still hope that his secret is known only to me."

"So... there are many things Rocks didn't tell you. Maybe he thought I had already told you... He might have been waiting for you to ask him something."

In a sense, Teresa's guess was right.

Charles really hoped that Peroz could communicate with him more—communicate more with his other identity.

In his original plan, he was going to fake it by playing a fake version of himself and creating a nesting doll identity for himself.

While it's interesting, this identity can also play a role in special circumstances.

But...the two people he booked didn't give him this chance at all.

Along with his unintentional strategy towards Reiner...Now Reiner believes whatever he says.

No matter what flaws he showed in front of the other party, Reiner would simply ignore them. Just like he would not doubt his companions, he certainly would not have the slightest doubt about his close friend Ciel.

After realizing Reiner's true nature, Charles entrusted this important task to Peroz.

She is a smart girl and can always find out that she is a "parallel import" from some clues.

As a friend, Charles couldn't bear to deceive the other person, but if she found out and misunderstood, it was none of his business.

However, both Charles and Peroz have been very busy recently, so the plan has been delayed.

As for Theresa, Charles didn't care whether she told Peroz and the others about her "discovery".

Because she doesn't know much, and at the same time doesn't seem to want to know too much.

If some things are spoken openly, many interesting things will happen.

If she told Sif, Ciel would guide Sif to think in the direction of bloodline, and further let Sif think about herself and put herself into certain identities.

If she told Peroz, the two identities would gradually merge, allowing the other party to discover what was "wrong" with himself earlier.

To be honest, Charles had complicated feelings towards Peroz.

On the one hand, he quite liked the other person's personality, which was decisive and heroic. Although he seemed careless, he was actually very delicate in many cases.

On the other hand, although Peroz is not as useful as Reiner, he is also a very good tool man.

She might be able to help me understand the truth of many things in the future.

Since she was just a tool, Charles didn't want to have any deep feelings for her.

Otherwise, if someone like Reiner was like this, Ciel would feel embarrassed to use him as a tool.
