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

Therefore, whether the relationship between the two will move forward or break down is all within Charles' consideration.

He did not think about the consequences of interfering in this matter.

Just let everything go with the flow.

"Can you tell me how you discovered the problem with Rocks?"

"Or could you tell me under what circumstances he confessed to you?"

Peroz was somewhat reluctant to deny what Teresa said about helping Charles.

Being deceived by others is a very difficult thing to accept, especially being deceived by your good friends.

Although she realized that the relationship between her and Charles and many things were just her wishful thinking when she thought about it carefully, Peroz still felt uncomfortable and her chest felt a little blocked.

Originally, Theresa didn't want to say more about this - in fact, she didn't know much, but looking at Peroz's current state, after hesitating for a moment, she still told it from beginning to end.

Her words made Peroz understand Charles better, and at the same time overturned some of his previous guesses and confirmed some of them.

After all, although she didn't mention much about Charles's power in her words, judging from the performance of Floyds, Morin, Antilia and Arthur, they didn't know Charles's strength - at least they didn't know until Charles and Theresa confessed.

He hid himself under the noses of some high-level extraordinary people without revealing any clues.

At least we have to surpass them in terms of strength.

Among the four, although Arthur is in the hodgepodge sequence, he is a legitimate Sequence 4 transcendent.

Demigod or above?

A puppet? The same person? Or perhaps it's not the same person, just a pseudonym?

Her mind began to constantly search for all the information about Daring Charles, and then a complicated expression appeared on her face.

"Theresa, you said Melnadette knew about this, right?"

Theresa nodded. "Rocks won't hide anything from Melnade, but Melnade probably won't know much either, because she won't ask."

"And what about Sif?"

"Sif?" Theresa looked puzzled.

In her impression, the relationship between Charles and Sif was average. Although they were friends, it was obviously not as good as that between herself and Peroz.

The reason why Peroz mentioned the other party at this time made Teresa a little confused.

-

Chapter 268 Chapter 148 Are they all lies?

A single leaf blocks the view of Mount Tai.

In the past, because of his fondness for Charles, Peroz would consciously ignore many of his unreasonable things.

But when these good impressions faded one day, with her intelligence, many things seemed strange again.

Mernadette, Theresa, her, Sif, Endsworth.

These were the people in Ciel's social circle who could be considered his friends.

This feeling may be real or fake.

But Charles' attitude towards them was different from that of others after all.

If you want to understand the secrets of Charles, the easiest way is to analyze them themselves.

Mernadette was eliminated first.

Although he had not had much contact with her, Peroz still liked her.

She didn't want him to get involved in the "conflict" between herself and Charles - sometimes she herself didn't understand why she wanted to understand him so much and get to the bottom of it.

Although Mernadette may be the one who knows Ciel best among them.

Then there's Theresa. Based on what Peroz knows about Theresa...she has the attributes of a "loyal dog" and will degenerate into a "silly roe deer" when she falls in love. Even if she faces Charles's frankness, she probably won't know much.

It’s not that Charles would hide it, but in Theresa’s current state, the fact that Charles was willing to share the secret with her was more important than the secret itself.

What she just said to me was probably all she knew.

After the process of elimination, she, Sif, and Endsworth were the only ones left in Ciel's relatively narrow social circle.

The reason why Peroz chose Sif as a breakthrough point instead of Endsworth is simple.

On the one hand, it was because the relationship between Endsworth and Charles began in the City of Eternal Night, and their topics of conversation were always about that place.

Peroz knew nothing about the place, and it was difficult for her to find some clues from the interactions between Professor Endsworth and Charles, which also made her feel a little embarrassed.

On the other hand, it is because Charles' attitude towards Sif is changing.

Very early on, the order of status in Charles' heart should be: Mernade, Theresa, her, Endsworth and then Sif.

But now, the order has become: Mernade, Theresa, Sif, her, and Endsworth.

Before knowing that Charles was hiding something from him, Peroz thought that his position in Charles' heart was higher than Sif's.

But now that I think about it carefully, considering the recent change in his attitude towards Sif, my position in his heart is definitely not as high as Sif's.

The reason why she always believed that she had a certain position in Charles' heart was because Charles Rocks was the person she knew, the person who respected her father and herself.

But now, all these perceptions have been broken, and many factors that have blinded her eyes have been eliminated.

Although there is doubt that Mernadette is Charles' sister, she is definitely an important person in Charles' heart, which can be seen from his attitude towards Mernadette.

Although he would "bully" others most of the time, that bullying was done with a touch of doting.

At the same time, he respected Mernadette's ideas very much, and he would even give up his own insistence on some things as long as Mernadette was willing to do them.

Teresa is the other person's lover, although the word "lover" may need to be put in quotation marks.

But under the premise that Theresa had no chance to know everything that the other party was hiding, he was willing to tell her his secrets openly, which shows that he really loves Theresa.

Then the problem is coming.

Why did Sif Leopold's position change for him?

Peroz thought carefully. Long ago, Ciel's attitude towards Sif was normal, just like an ordinary office colleague.

After Theresa appeared, because Sif wanted to use the power of the Severus family to get rid of the Mitte family, her relationship with Ciel as the wingman of both sides became close, and they became friends in public.

Peroz's mind began to recall Charles's eyes at that time.

The look he gave to Mernadè was always gentle and doting, while the look he gave to Theresa was somewhat helpless and annoyed, but not hateful.

The look he gave me... was gentle, but now I think it was probably an act, and the look he gave Sif... was indifferent or even indifferent.

And now, Peroz carefully recalled the look in Charles's eyes during their brief reunion after returning this time.

It was a very complicated look, which Peroz could not understand clearly for a moment, but relatively speaking, she could feel that Charles' attitude towards Sif had changed this time.

At least with some respect.

Perhaps even Charles himself didn't realize it after discovering Sif's identity.

In the office, or where Sif appears, Charles will ask for her opinion before doing something.

He had done this kind of thing before, but at that time it was more out of courtesy and to maintain decency.

But recently, he seems to really respect the other person's ideas.

Vaguely, in that short period of time, countless ideas flashed through Peroz's mind, so he placed the breakthrough point on Sif.

"Leopold might know more about Rocks." Peroz said seriously.

"No way... You know, Leopold is a very good girl and also our friend."

"But there's always a thin film between her and us. Although the relationship is good, it's not as good as the relationship between us."

Perhaps because of her identity and past experiences, in her interactions with fellow nobles Peroz and Theresa, Sif's feelings towards them were just as Theresa said.

He has experienced a lot, even life and death.

But their relationship can only be considered good friends, not close friends like she and Peroz.

On the contrary, her relationship with Mernadette was much better than her relationship with them.

"Just because there's a thin membrane between her and us doesn't mean her relationship with Rocks is any more distant than ours."

"Perhaps it was because of you that Leopold and Rocks gradually developed a good relationship in the beginning."

"But what now?"

"Just now, through observing and recalling my own memories, I saw that Rocks' attitude towards her had changed recently. She might know something about Rocks that neither you nor I know."

Theresa felt that Peroz was overcomplicating things.

"If you really want to know the truth, maybe we can wait for Rocks to come back."

"If you were asking, Rocks would not hide anything."

"Besides... there are some things... even if he doesn't tell you, he will tell me..." Theresa's face turned slightly red.

Peroz sighed, then shook his head. "I don't want to know what he says he is. I only believe what I see of him."

At this point, Peroz's eyes inexplicably recalled their first meeting.

[Count Krolov...what do you want to talk to me about today?]

【As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you do it! 】

He was flustered, dancing around, and too excited to control himself. That was the first impression he left on me.

[Count Krolov, please cheer up... Mr. Rotun would definitely not want you to be like this.] At his father's funeral, the young man who suppressed his grief but still comforted himself made Perozzi's favor for this young man continue to grow.

after...

And back from the Island of Jevers.

As the person who started the war, Peroz found Charles. Perhaps she herself didn't even know why she chose him as the person to vent her anger.

But she truly received comfort from him.

[Don't be influenced by those ignorant people. I believe that what you do is right! ]

[I remember seeing a sentence before that all archaeologists need to do is to dig out the true history and publish it.

As for how real history will affect the world, it has nothing to do with them.

War has always been a matter for politicians and soldiers. Even if you want to force the blame on yourself, you have to see if they are willing.

【If you are tired, you can take a rest here. I will always be with you. 】

Afterwards, she lay on the table in the other person's small apartment and fell into a sound sleep.

That sleep was probably the most peaceful sleep she had had since leaving Yevers Island.

From that time on, Charles' position in her heart gradually rose, even surpassing her childhood friend Teresa.

After all, at that time, Teresa was under the order of her father Doug, who would promote her brother or younger brother to her every time he met her.

She originally thought that their relationship could always be like this.

He will always support her.

He and Theresa will become her last safe haven and the home where her soul can rest.

but...

Is it all a lie?

From their first meeting until now, is the Charles Rocks she has seen made up of lies?

Memories are a very strange thing. They allow Peroz to find "flaws" in Charles in her own memory and find more "flaws" about Charles, but they will also bring her pain.

This time... maybe I'm going to lose a friend... or two.

Facing Theresa, who looked a little anxious but didn't know what to say, Peroz thought dejectedly.

the other side.

As a lecturer, Sif is not as irresponsible as Ciel and Theresa. At this moment, she is assigning students an assignment in class to write an essay in ancient Mississippian about the "scenery" caused by Reiner's ritual.

Looking at the students of Aishengzaidao, Sif's complicated mood finally eased a little.

She had become somewhat suspicious ever since Charles had last spoken to her.

She began to wonder if Charles knew something and was testing her like that.
