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

"If little Perozzi can unleash the power in her bloodline, you will understand why the bloodline of the Krolov family made me do this." Doug said calmly.

"Sure enough...it's really hard to adapt to that guy." After sitting back in the carriage, Theresa's expression became complicated.

When you hate someone, no matter what he does, you think he is annoying.

Teresa's mood became worse when she thought about having to live with a guy like this in the future.

At the same time, the scene in her mind emerged where she was pregnant but Charles still went to the brothel as he pleased.

She had an urge to escape from her marriage.

But this impulse only lasted for a second before slowly coming to an end.

Her father's words slowly echoed in her mind.

"It's just a little bit of self-interest... For the sake of the family, I have to sacrifice it." She said to herself.

But the resentment in my heart cannot be alleviated by words.

When the agreed time arrived, Charles felt a little weird in the carriage.

At this moment, his heart was filled with eagerness to try.

The future without using the power of divination is simply full of excitement.

What will happen soon?

What is their purpose?

The money he earned was related to Professor Endsworth? Or was it because of Peroz's matter?

Will they use threats and bribes to bribe me like in the novels?

How should I solve it then?

Should he leave an avatar to pretend to die rather than surrender, or create an accident to create someone who stands up for justice?

No, every choice is so interesting.

At this time, Charles had a lot going on in his mind, but his outward behavior was a little restrained.

"Um... Miss Severus, if you just want to pick me up, there's no need for you to come in person."

Looking at Theresa who was sitting opposite him, Charles asked.

"Just on the way." Theresa tried to keep herself calm.

Then she added, "By the way, there's no need to be so distant. Just call me Theresa."

?

For a moment, Charles felt that the story might not develop as he expected.

Section 37 Chapter 37 What kind of vicious words are these?

Severus Manor.

Looking at Doug who was sitting at the dining table and looking at him gently, as well as William sitting next to him and Theresa sitting next to him, Charles' expression became more and more restrained, and at the same time, he became more and more puzzled about the purpose of the Severus family.

Without using his extraordinary powers, he really couldn't guess what the middle-aged man in front of him was thinking.

"Rocks, don't be so reserved. You can treat this place as your own home." Doug looked at Charles gently, as if he was looking at his son-in-law.

To be honest, his gaze, although gentle, made Ciel feel creepy.

Therefore, Charles just smiled a little embarrassedly, and then his expression became even more restrained.

"Let me introduce you. This is my eldest son, William, who will inherit our Severus family."

After he finished speaking, he smiled again and looked at Theresa. "As for the person next to you, there's no need to introduce her. She's my daughter, Theresa."

"No, no, I've already met Miss S... Theresa before."

"How does it feel?" Doug asked.

"How does it feel?" Charles looked at Doug strangely.

"My daughter." He said with a smile.

"Huh?" Charles was stunned and looked at Doug strangely.

He was really a little shocked, and at the same time he couldn't keep up with the train of thought of the person in front of him.

It’s a family dinner again, and he’s asking about his daughter. Does this guy want him to be his son-in-law?

The Severus family is not a small noble family. In all aspects, what is he trying to do by choosing me as his son-in-law?

Has my identity been exposed?

Charles had the urge to do some divination, but he held back - although things did not develop as he expected, they became more interesting.

"You can try to get in touch with her more." Doug looked at Charles with a smile while drinking tea.

"More...contact?"

What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?

And... Ciel, you are actually the protagonist, right?

If you think about it carefully, ever since Rocks took over the identity of the person with the same name and surname as him, everything happening around him seems a little weird.

First, Peroz discovered "Charles's" grateful heart, and then developed a liking for him.

Then there was a beautiful lecturer in the office who made the nobles dare not show up.

And now... a great nobleman asked for no reason that he wanted to have more contact with his daughter, and even looked at him as if he were his son-in-law.

Am I playing some kind of galgame?

"Your Excellency the Duke...did you say something wrong...No, I may not have heard your words clearly just now..." Charles said after considering his words.

"Okay, okay, don't be so nervous. I'm just making a suggestion." Looking at Charles's reaction, Doug said gently, "Rocks, you must be hungry too. Let's eat first."

How to put it, Charles felt that this guy was a bit powerful, but also a bit neurotic.

What this guy just said to him, and even the expression on his face, were all "real".

In other words, he truly hopes to be with Theresa, and she also truly regards him as her son-in-law.

Is there any secret about Charles?

its not right.

Before taking over his fate, Charles himself had already looked at this man's ancestors for eighteen generations.

From his bloodline to his ancestors, he is a completely ordinary person.

While eating, Doug continued to express his enthusiasm. If Ciel had not confirmed that the bloodline of his replacement had nothing to do with him, he would probably have suspected that the previous Ciel was the illegitimate son of Doug Severus.

"Rocks, don't be too nervous. I know you have a lot of questions in your heart. I originally planned to spend more time with you before telling you."

"But now it seems that if I don't tell you the truth sooner, you probably won't be able to enjoy this meal."

"Eat first. When you're full, let's go to the study. Then I'll tell you why I treat you like this."

"Finish the book and tell it all without hiding anything."

After a moment, looking at Charles's appearance, Doug said with a smile.

Although Charles could not see any lies in his expression, according to his thinking, being frank was absolutely nonsense.

But he was wrong.

Doug really opened up and told everything.

He told me why he chose him as his son-in-law, and also told him several possible consequences.

"I know you guys have studied some of Taylor's ideas and advocate so-called freedom."

"There's nothing wrong with the freedom he advocates, and I actually enjoy reading his books."

"But sometimes, when faced with certain things, just sacrificing a little freedom can allow your life and living to have new developments."

"At this time, you will find that so-called freedom is not that valuable."

Taylor was a thinker in the early days of the steam age. His ideas were somewhat similar to Montesquieu's, but a little bolder than his.

At the same time, he was also an important figure who brought about changes in the times.

Although he is not a superhuman, he has many superhuman followers.

At the same time, the main reason why he did not become extraordinary was because of his own rejection. Because in his mind, all people, whether nobles or royals, peddlers or even gods and extraordinary people, are equal.

If he chooses to drink the potion and become a transcendent, does it symbolize his denial of his own ideals?

Or does doing this make you think that extraordinary people are superior to others?

After all these thoughts, he did not drink the potion and eventually lived his life as an ordinary person.

"You've met Theresa, too. She's very beautiful and talented. You'll definitely have a lot in common if you spend more time together."

"It's not an insult to you for her to become your wife."

Ciel shook his head.

"Peroz chose to give the letter to you, and naturally she hoped that if she died, you would inherit everything she shouldered. What I hope for does not conflict with the choice you are about to make, right?" Doug continued.

Charles continued to shake his head.

"As for the other options, is there any conflict between what I'm thinking and what you're about to do?!"

"No!" Doug's voice became louder.

"So this is a win-win choice."

"At the same time, you don't have to worry that I'm using you. Although the main reason I want you to be my son-in-law is because of the Peroz incident, not just anyone can be my son-in-law."

"I've also thoroughly investigated your character and personality. Even without that letter, if my daughter were with you, I probably wouldn't object."

If it weren't for that letter, it would be strange that we two would have come into contact.

"As for whether I will use you and then abandon you after using you."

"You can ask Endsworth about my character."

Charles was silent for a moment and then asked, "I need some time to think about it..."

Doug nodded. "Of course. Marriage is a big deal."

"Can I ask you something else?"

"of course can."

"Why are you so obsessed with the Krolov family's bloodline?"

Steam Calendar Year 1741, Eastern Continent, Land of Nothingness, Ruins of the Ancient Byzantine Empire.

"Damn, are all the people in the Secret Order mad dogs? What good will it do them to do this?" Doug complained while using his extraordinary power to kill the enemies that pounced on him.

The people surrounding them are ordinary people.

Logically speaking, people like this should not pose any threat to them.

However, the magic bombs dropped by the airships, the death warriors who completely disregarded life and death, and some magic technology items still made him somewhat powerless.

Since the Black Fire Era, the distance between ordinary people and extraordinary people has been constantly shrinking.

"Is this perhaps the power of faith?" Rotun said with a laugh.

"Is there anything to be happy about this?"

"If you smile at me again, I'll throw you out of the shield range and let those scum blow you to pieces!"

In terms of extraordinary sequence strength, Rotten and Doug are at the same level at this time.

However, Doug felt somewhat disgusted with Rotten beside him—he had never seen such a useless Sequence 6.

You were almost shot to death, do you dare to waste any more time?

"Haha, Doug, we are friends. You won't do such a cruel thing, right?" Rotten said as he casually shot to death the Secret Order members who were preparing to attack them silently in the distance with a bow and arrow.
