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

At first her expression did not favour her observation.

The attitude should be the same as usual.

Although Peroz felt that if Charles was really that mysterious person, no matter what attitude she made in front of him, it would be useless, but if he was not... her cold face would probably hurt the other person.

"Did anything happy happen to you, Rocks?" Peroz adjusted his mentality and asked as he picked up the teacup and placed it in front of Charles.

"Success... Reiner that guy succeeded~" Looking at Peroz and Theresa who were divided into four or five figures in front of him, and making sure that the people around him were trustworthy, Charles did not hide anything and said happily.

Reiner?

Theresa and Peroz looked at each other. If they were not familiar with this name before, now after their visit to Sif, they naturally knew Reiner's name and his identity.

"Was it he who created the colorful steam clouds in the sky a few days ago?" Almost instantly, Peroz grasped the essence of the problem in conjunction with recent events.

"Who else but that guy would hold such a grand ceremony?"

"I have seen countless geniuses...but he is the most special one." Charles said without hesitation.

Peroz, however, felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

His words seemed to have vaguely announced his identity to her.

If it was lecturer Charles Rocks, what qualifications did he have to say that he had met countless geniuses?

Even if he awakened the power of his bloodline and even if he acquired powerful supernatural characteristics, more than a year was just enough for him to become familiar with it and accumulate knowledge.

"He was the one who organized that ceremony where I took a lot of photos."

"It's very beautiful. I don't know when I can see it again." Teresa didn't think too much about it. Her focus was completely different from Peroz's, and it always fell on some strange things.

"Well...it won't take long," Ciel said cheerfully.

"He and I have an agreement. As a testimony to our friendship, I will hold a similar ceremony as he did."

"Originally I wanted to keep a low profile, but if Teresa wants to see that kind of scene, then we can be more high-profile~"

The first ceremony could not be concealed.

Because this is a process that needs to be verified and even recognized by the world.

But after the second time, with Charles's power, he could complete the ritual silently without any mistakes.

But since Theresa thinks the scene is beautiful, let's be more high-profile.

This time, he was not arrogant, but confident.

Because of some embarrassing things he had just done, the Heart of Omniscience was at his hand. Before coming back, he staggered out the potion of "Truth" with the help of Reiner while drinking.

As long as he achieved the truth, he believed that nothing in the world could stop him.

"Is it dangerous?" Theresa asked worriedly.

"They are just jumping clowns. If anyone dares to jump out, just beat them to death." Charles said majestically, waving his hands.

If more than a hundred demigods had gathered together before and used some rituals to make their power become a whole, even Charles would have had to temporarily avoid the edge.

But now, after more than half of the demigods were killed and sealed by his invitation letter, there is no power in this world that can threaten him.

This ceremony is still magnificent and eye-catching, so what?

With so many demigods missing, would they still have the energy to pay attention to this kind of ceremony? "You're drunk..." Looking at Charles, who was now so confident that no one else in the world could match him, Theresa couldn't help but reach out and rub his head.

It’s not that she doesn’t believe him, but in Theresa’s impression, Charles has always been a gentle and elegant person.

He looks so majestic and domineering now... He must be drunk.

"Perhaps this is his truest side." Peroz murmured softly.

After hearing these words and seeing Charles like this, it seemed that many things no longer needed to be done.

Her expression was a little bitter.

"Peroz?" Theresa looked at him strangely.

"Nothing. I'm going to rest first. When Rocks sobers up tomorrow, tell him that I need his strength to help you explore that unknown place."

Peroz slowly stood up and then staggered, then she returned to her room in Rocks Manor under Theresa's somewhat worried gaze.

There was no need for this expedition anymore; she already knew everything she needed to know.

But in the end, Peroz decided to see it through.

But this time his attitude will be different from before.

"Just consider it as helping Theresa."

"Just consider this as a farewell between me and Rocks."

"Even though he's been lying to me, he's never done anything to wrong me..."

Peroz thought so, then silently pulled the thin blanket covering his body.

For some reason, she had an urge to cry.

An urge that made her cry without even knowing why.

The next day, Charles staggered out of bed and felt a little regretful when he saw Theresa sleeping beside him.

What a great opportunity it was last night...why did I fall asleep?

Thinking of Theresa's expression when she helped him back to the bedroom and then when he took her to the bed and held her tightly, Charles was speechless.

With the person I love in my arms, I not only did not do anything but also slept so soundly.

Who says that happens after drinking?

It was obviously a mistake made by drinking!

Charles looked at Theresa's cheeks, which were becoming increasingly red because of his prolonged gaze. He felt a little helpless. He reached out and gently pinched them. "Open your eyes if you're awake. Do you want me to help you change your clothes?"

"Who wants a bad guy like you to help do this kind of thing?" Theresa's tone was a little unnatural. Although her neck had turned red at this time, she still had a tone of not admitting defeat.

"If you hadn't held me tightly and refused to let me go last night, I wouldn't have slept with someone like you who reeks of alcohol."

"I didn't sleep well last night, it's all your fault!" She was not lying. Teresa really couldn't sleep last night.

After Charles fell asleep, perhaps out of "instinct", he was very dishonest.

Although she didn't do anything like that, Theresa felt that she was taken advantage of by this bad guy.

Especially when she saw the water stains on the chest part of her clothes, her face turned red.

He's such a jerk for not being quiet even when he's asleep.

"Then...you must get a good rest during the day~" Charles' tone became ambiguous, and then he turned over and pressed on her with an aggressive look in his eyes.

Facing his gaze, Theresa kept backing away, but the physical contact made her feel weak all over. She could only use all her strength to wave her little fists and gently push Charles.

However, this power was not so much trying to push Charles away as it was trying to "encourage" him.

He slowly lowered his head, from the ears, forehead to the bridge of nose and lips. Just as he was about to kiss her and slowly undress her, Theresa suddenly bit his lips.

"No!" Teresa said seriously with a red face.

"Why?" Charles stopped what he was doing and asked gently.

He felt that the time was right and that their relationship needed to take a step closer.

"Humph, you haven't explained to me about Mernadette yet."

Charles froze.

"Besides, why are you so skilled! How much do you know about...well..." Before Theresa could finish her words, Charles broke free from her teeth and kissed her.

Charles' heart was filled with regret. How could he bring all the knowledge he had learned into this world?

And tens of thousands of years have passed, and there are still people who remember this joke!

A moment later, when Theresa was about to run out of oxygen, Charles let her go.

"Tell me, what is the reason that you want to stop me?"

"Didn't you always want to violate me before?" Charles said seriously.

Theresa gave Charles a fierce look.

These words are really too much!

What do you mean I've always wanted to violate you?

"It's Peroz..."

"Peroz? Come to think of it, I do remember her showing up last night." Charles nodded. "Are you worried that she won't be able to see you at breakfast?"

"Are you still worried that she might notice something when you walk in the morning?"

As he spoke, Ciel smiled ambiguously, and then his hands began to move again. "There's nothing to be afraid of in this kind of thing. On the contrary, she should be the one who's afraid."

"After all, as a single guy, Peroz can only envy us silently~"

"Who would envy such a thing!" Theresa stood up and gently hit Charles' forehead with her head.

"You were the one who lied to her. Perozzi discovered that you lied to her."

"Which one?" Charles asked instinctively.

Thinking about it carefully, he had lied to Peroz too many times, and when Teresa brought it up all at once, Charles really couldn't guess which one she had discovered.

Theresa laughed at Charles's "confusion".

"most!"

In fact, Theresa had been struggling with this matter for a long time. Peroz did not ask her not to tell Charles about these things yesterday, but their friendship over the years allowed her to sense each other's thoughts.

So at first, Theresa was struggling with it for a long time and really planned to keep it secret.

But what Charles said after he got drunk, and Peroz's staggering afterwards, as well as last night's insomnia, made her figure out some things, so she knew she couldn't act according to her previous thoughts, otherwise she might really lose a friend.

So she told him everything, she wanted to know what Charles was going to do.

In response to this, Charles was silent for a moment, and then said in a slightly helpless tone, "Let it be."

"But... maybe Peroz will leave here... and leave us."

"Rocks... I know you may have told many lies to me and her, but in your heart you always regarded Peroz as a good friend."

"She left like this, don't you want to do something, say something?"

Theresa didn't quite understand Charles' choice.

"Whatever the reason, I have indeed deceived her many times. Even now and in the future, I will continue to deceive her."

"So from some perspectives, it might be a good thing that she leaves now."

If Peroz continues to be by Charles' side, with her blossoming talent and her yearning for certain things, even if it is unintentional, Charles will continue to use her.

But if she chose to leave, unless she became a "necessary" person, then Charles would probably consciously ignore her.

There are so many archaeologists, and Peroz is excellent, but he is by no means irreplaceable.

Staying away from her might be Charles' last kindness to her.

"I don't understand." Theresa looked at Charles with an incomprehensible look.

"I don't understand why you think leaving is the best thing for her when we're obviously good friends."

"Peroz...it's just us."

It was a rare occasion, this was the first time Theresa had retorted to Charles so emotionally.

Charles was not angry, he just reached out and gently stroked her hair.

"Actually, it's not just her. What I just said applies to you as well."

"Leaving me may be a good thing for both you and her."

"In the past, I have tried countless times to cool down our relationship in various ways, but in the end, I still couldn't reject you."

After hearing what Charles said, Theresa showed a hint of embarrassment on her face.

In the process of pursuing Charles, she did many bold things that were inconsistent with her character.
