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

Just like what was happening with Charles now, if he could create some accidents and coincidences, and then let Theresa contact him in a subtle way, things would go much more smoothly.

But if one day in the future he finds out the truth, no matter how good their relationship was before they were together, it would shatter in an instant.

Section 40 Chapter 40 A Collection of Madness and Contradiction

Taking a public carriage, Charles quickly arrived at the City of Eternal Night.

On the way there, Ciel also met Professor Endsworth.

In order to express his respect for him bringing him here, Charles considerately helped him order three more nightmares on top of what he had ordered.

Obviously, Professor Endsworth was very happy about Charles' respect and even shed tears of joy.

When he got up the next day, Endsworth was helped by Charles to his carriage.

"Do you want me to die there?" Endsworth said, holding his waist.

"Professor, I believe you." Ciel said seriously, "Besides, don't you have an energy potion?"

Endsworth rolled his eyes at him. "Like I said before, I know how to configure it, but the process is very troublesome."

"That kind of thing is not for sale."

"So don't keep thinking about me selling it to you."

However, thinking of Charles's "filial piety" to him last night, Endsworth knocked on the roof of his carriage, and rays of purple light shone from it.

Then a black hole appeared in front of the two of them. Endsworth reached in and took out two bottles of potion and stuffed them into his hands.

"If I hadn't seen you studying Mississippi language very hard in school recently, I wouldn't have given you these things."

"Young people should exercise moderation," Endsworth advised with some heartache.

Although this potion is a magic potion, its ingredients are relatively common magical creatures and plants.

The reason for its scarcity is that the method of refining is extremely complicated. The number of potion masters who can refine it in the entire Kingdom of York can be counted on one hand.

Apart from him and another potion master who often brewed it, other potion masters who could brew this potion were not very interested in it.

The potion master's works basically need to be pre-ordered and snapped up, so he is often taken advantage of.

Therefore, he actually doesn't have much inventory here.

"If you don't indulge yourself while you're young, you won't have the chance when you're old." Charles leaned back on the cushions and said with a smile. "You little bastard." Endsworth couldn't help laughing.

"By the way, I heard from Sif that you attended the dinner party at Severus's house last night?" Endsworth asked casually.

"Yes, the Duke wants to recruit me as his son-in-law." Charles sighed.

"Hmm?" Endsworth, who was holding the teacup and preparing to drink tea, couldn't help but tremble his hand, and the tea spilled all over the carriage.

He waved his hand to evaporate the tea, put down the tea set and looked at Charles with a strange look.

"Is there something wrong with that Severus's brain again?" Endsworth said with a smack of his lips.

"That's because of this." Charles did not hide it and took out the letter that Peroz gave him from his pocket.

Because he had set aside a special space for storing items, he carried most of his things with him.

Endsworth took the letter with some curiosity, and then saw the coat of arms of the Krolov family on it.

"The letter of inheritance from the Krolov family?" Endsworth was stunned for a moment, then looked at Charles in disbelief.

"Several of my old friends received this before, but I didn't expect that little girl Perozzi would give you one too."

"Wait... are you..."

A hint of gossip appeared on Endsworth's face.

"It's just because of some other reasons. Peroz and I are just friends." Charles briefly talked about the fate between them, the origin of the letter of inheritance and what happened last night.

"Lucky boy." After carefully thinking about what happened to Charles, Endsworth said this.

"I don't have a good impression of Severus. After all, we have different positions, and he is sometimes a little too paranoid."

"But Theresa would be a good wife."

"At the same time, because of Severus's relationship, she has many suitors in the upper class of Moroston."

"Because of the Duke?" Charles asked curiously.

"Among all the nobles, Doug's character and methods are first-rate. If it weren't for his position, I might actually be looking forward to having such a friend."

"Although he is the most offensive peer in the House of Lords, some of his actions are out of tune with others."

"First, in terms of his attitude towards family. Most nobles only care about their eldest son, or those who are particularly outstanding, while the status of other offspring is much lower. But Doug is completely different. Aside from the family heirloom, which can only be passed on to William, who inherited the family bloodline, he treats all of his children equally."

"As a noble with extraordinary blood, he is different from other nobles. He cares a lot about extraordinary blood, but he doesn't care about 'pure blood'."

Purebloods are the offspring of intermarriage between extraordinary aristocratic families.

Having inherited the blood of extraordinary people, they believe that the internal communication between these bloodlines can give birth to better bloodlines.

Doug hopes that the bloodline of the Severus family will be strong, but he does not agree with the custom of intermarriage among other nobles to maintain pure blood.

"Doug has seven children, four boys and three girls. Teresa is the youngest among them. She has two older brothers and one older sister."

"Her sister is already married. The other party is her classmate and comes from a commoner family."

"This incident caused a lot of controversy among the nobles at the time, but Doug suppressed it single-handedly," Endsworth said with some nostalgia.

"Is it because of some treasure?" Charles asked.

Endsworth shook his head. "Although Doug wanted to marry Theresa to you, it didn't mean he didn't like his child. Anne and Fox were truly in love. After learning about his daughter's intentions, he briefly investigated Fox and, once he was sure he had no ulterior motives, quickly accepted him."

Charles was stunned.

"It's strange, but this guy is just like that."

"In his heart, family comes first and family members come second."

"When there is no conflict between the two, he is willing to challenge the so-called rules for one of them and suppress all disputes."

"Someone, unable to accept the relationship between Annie and Fox, acted unwisely. Fox was severely injured. To save him, Doug spent 30,000 gold pounds to find the best potion master in the East Continent, saving his life and completely eradicating the family that had hurt him from the Kingdom of York."

Thirty thousand gold pounds is a huge sum of money. Although the Severus family is an old noble family, their normal annual income is only about ten thousand gold pounds.

After deducting expenses, there is basically only one or two thousand pounds left.

If it were an ordinary aristocratic family, they would basically give up that person directly. After all, he is not of noble birth and has no outstanding skills. He cannot bring any benefits to the family. Compared with the 30,000 gold lists, gold pounds are undoubtedly more valuable.

"But when the two conflict, he will ask his family to sacrifice for the family." Endsworth looked at Charles.

"This is his philosophy, and also the philosophy of the Severus family."

"For the sake of the family, he can sacrifice his own children, including himself. As long as this can make the family prosperous."

"Similarly, for the sake of his family, even Fox, who others looked down upon, dared to directly go to war with other families."

"Doug is a very contradictory guy. Most of the time, he's a very nice guy. But when it comes to family and family, then this guy is capable of doing anything crazy."

Section 41 Chapter 41 What kind of logic is this?

There are three things you shouldn't do in Moroston.

"Pry into the history of pure-blood families," "Say no to lunatics," and "Hurt Doug's relatives."

Because of marriages, extraordinary bloodlines and Horcrux inheritance, deciphering the history of pure-blood families is to reveal the cards they have been hiding.

Doing this kind of thing, in their view, is a signal to start a war.

Among the thirteen pure-blood families are "York" and "Sugber", the two families representing the royal family and the grand duke.

There are huge conflicts between the royal family and the nobles in terms of their positions, but they are of one mind on this issue.

Saying no to a madman refers to a Sequence 5 transcendent.

He was a follower of Taylor, but one who had misinterpreted his ideas.

He believes that people are free, and he is the freest one, so he often does some "free" things.

For example, going to someone else's party and masturbating while standing on a table; kidnapping a famous stage actor, saying you like him and asking him to give you a blowjob or him giving it to someone else; searching for food in a garbage dump with stray dogs and then fighting...

No one has forgotten his specific name, but everyone secretly calls him a madman.

Although he is crazy, he is very strong. The dean of Moroston Royal Academy once looked for him for some matters.

In the end, the two men fought each other. Although the madman didn't win, he escaped from his hands.

Not only him, except for the one from the City of Eternal Night, the three Sequence 4 Human Saints from the Kingdom of York have all attacked him.

Every time he was thrown into chaos, but he still survived.

Don't say no to him means that no matter what he does in front of you, don't try to dissuade him or stop him.

Otherwise, you'll be stuck with that lunatic. And then anything can happen.

For the people involved, some things are worse than death.

"That's a good choice for you."

Looking at the thoughtful Charles, Endsworth smiled teasingly, "If you become Doug's son-in-law, you can walk around Morrowston with your own way."

"Professor, I'm not a crab," Ciel complained. "Besides, although Theresa is beautiful, she's not very competitive."

As he spoke, Charles pointed in the direction of the City of Eternal Night.

"Hahaha, you can't just say things like that."

"If Theresa heard this, that little brat would probably hate you."

Ciel shook his head. "Maybe she'll thank me?"

"I kind of regret taking you there," Endsworth muttered. "If I had known you would be noticed by Perozzi and Doug, I wouldn't have taken you there."

"That won't do. If that's the case, Professor, you'll be lonely coming here alone."

"That's right~"

The two looked at each other and then couldn't help laughing together.

Above the endless ocean, the Black Flag was floating alone.

Compared with the silent sea, the Black Flag seemed much more lively at this time.

"Ms. Peroz, can I ask you to dance with me?" Amidst the bustle of the banquet, a crew member walked up to Peroz and acted like a gentleman.

But due to his sturdy body, his posture looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

Peroz was about to say something when a commotion broke out behind him.

"Come on, Tom, you want to dance? You're just after Miss Perozzi's body, you slut."

Tom's body stiffened, and then he rushed towards the person behind him angrily, "Aren't you greedy?"

"If you don't dare to do it, don't hinder me!"

"Who said I dare not do it, Miss Peroz, I like it..."

Snapped!

A big hand slapped him hard on the head.

"Yesterday you said you liked dancer Lily, but today you're talking about Peroz?!"

"As a man, who doesn't have an ocean in his heart?" the man said with a smile.

“I don’t know if there’s an ocean in my heart, but maybe there’s a grassland above my head~”

After a few words, they started pushing and fighting.

Some time ago, Peroz was a little worried about whether something might go wrong.

But she's gotten used to it lately.

Things like this happened frequently, but their relationship was not greatly affected.

Even if they were beaten black and blue yesterday, they were still willing to turn their backs to the enemy when facing them the next day.

"How is it? Are you used to it?" Finks staggered to Peroz's side.
