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

“Who cares?”

"Besides, we agreed before... who will care about you when you come back?"

Thinking of what happened before he left, Peroz's tone became a little stiff.

Theresa looked at Charles and Peroz with some concern.

Peroz's personality is often rather awkward, and she was really worried that Peroz would start to get serious at this time, and then the relationship between the two people, which had originally changed, would be brought to a dead end again.

"Are you really ignoring me?" Charles asked seriously.

Peroz didn't say anything, just snorted coldly.

Charles hugged Peroz like a princess.

"What are you doing?" she said while struggling.

"Of course I'm going to apologize to you, Perozzi, in my most sincere way. Please forgive me."

Is this your attitude of apologizing?

"Mernadè, you haven't seen Theresa for such a long time. You must have a lot to talk about."

"You guys chat first, I'm going to have a private chat with Peroz~"

Seeing Peroz struggling and Charles winking at her, Theresa instantly knew how Charles was going to "persuade" her, and then she couldn't help laughing.

"Let me go, you bastard! Who wants to whisper to you?"

"Mernadette is still here, aren't you ashamed?!"

"You...are such a big bastard!"

At first, Peroz's tone was still very tough, but as Charles held her closer to the bedroom, her tone became softer, even unconsciously with a bit of charm.

"Brother... they are not related, right?" After watching Charles leave, Mernadette asked Theresa with a confused look on her face.

"Don't worry about him, you will understand some things later..."

"And it won't take too long." Theresa blushed slightly as she drank her tea and looked at Mernadè with a meaningful look.

"In the future?" Melnadette was still a little confused.

"Anyway...given Rocks' personality, this won't be long before he bullies you the same way he bullies us."

"Mernade, you must be prepared when the time comes. Don't let him succeed as easily as he did to us."

"You have to remember that at some point, don't believe anything he says."

"Something like 'I'll just hold you and not move', 'I'll just touch you a few times', 'I'll just rub you'... In short, don't believe a single word of that." Theresa imparted her experience to Mernadette.

But looking at Mernadette's silly look, she always felt like she was talking to a cow.

If it were her, she would probably listen to that guy more than me.

Even without such a fake, almost fake, situation, she would probably still be willing...

In Charles' bedroom.

He held Perozzi in his arms and closed the door with his heel.

"I thought you would be more restrained in front of Mernadette, but I didn't expect..." Peroz said with some dissatisfaction.

"Some things will be restrained, but some things won't." Charles skillfully undressed her and said with a smile, "You know, before, Melnadette was afraid that I would get sick from holding it in, and she mustered up the courage to encourage me to go to the City of Eternal Night more often."

Peroz choked on his words, then looked at Ciel with disgust.

"You won't continue to linger in places like that in the future, will you?"

"That depends on whether there's anyone around to supervise you, or whether you can satisfy me."

Ciel's tone was a little light.

Peroz tried to grab Charles' hand, then pushed it away and said seriously, "I don't care what happened with Theresa, Melnadette, or even with Teacher Sif."

"But...if you continue to maintain contact with that place...I don't think I can endure it."

"Then... I won't go." Charles said obediently.

"Don't worry~ I'm very responsible. After finding a home, I'm in a completely different state than before." Although he said this, Charles was still a little reluctant.

After all, some games and knowledge can only be experienced there...

"Haha." Peroz was skeptical about Charles's assurance.

After all, he was a veteran, going there as often as Professor Endsworth. Peroz felt it had become an instinct, and changing it would be difficult.

"I really will change." Charles buried his head in Peroz's body and said vaguely, "Also...why do you think I have feelings for Professor Leopold? My relationship with her is still quite distant."

Although they are all friends, their relationship is indeed a little distant compared to Peroz, Theresa and Mernade.

"Because Sif told us before that you are very likely her brother."

"This routine seems familiar. Melnade might have something to say to her."

Charles's expression became a little unnatural.

"Um... is there such a thing? How come I don't know about it?"

Peroz pinched Charles's ear and said, "Then the question is, since you don't belong to this era, why do you have relatives in this era?"

"Don't tell me these things have nothing to do with you. If you think about it carefully, you can still find out. What is the root cause of the misunderstandings between Mernade and Sif?"

"I'm very curious~" Peroz said to Charles in a serious tone.

Chapter 321 Chapter 201 Detective Peroz

Charles did not tell Peroz everything.

But a lot of things happened during this trip.

Although he didn't say much, Peroz had a vague guess about some of his things or identity combined with some information she knew.

No matter which of the several speculations is true, Charles should not have any blood relatives surviving in this era.

But whether it was Mernade or Sif, he seemed to be consciously sending out a wrong message, and then leading them to think in a wrong way, so that their relationship would quickly break the boundary between ordinary friends.

People don't do something for no reason.

Especially a Sequence 2 Servant God like Ciel.

"...Actually, I just like them more. They have a familiar aura to them."

"Or rather, I seem to see some of my past friends in them."

"Even though they've left, the feelings I have for them won't fade away."

"Although it's a bit unfair to them, they are indeed a substitute for me to place my own feelings on."

Charles didn't tell the truth after all.

It's not that he doesn't trust Peroz.

But the matter of Mernade and Sif is too important.

In the extraordinary world, some things cannot be kept secret just by insisting on doing so.

If their news were to spread unexpectedly, Charles could fully foresee the consequences.

"A lot of it is lies."

"If we were just friends, you wouldn't treat Mernade and Sif like that." Peroz said, glancing at Charles.

"Is there something wrong with my attitude towards them?" Charles touched his head, feeling a little puzzled.

"Of course there is a problem."

"Your attitude towards us is completely different from your attitude towards her." Peroz was conducting his analysis with Charles very seriously.

"You appear to be doting on Mernadette, but in reality you seem to respect or revere her."

"You will seriously consider her words and ideas, and then offer her reasonable suggestions. You may even do something against your own original intentions."

Peroz's gaze was sharp, staring straight into Charles' eyes.

"You stopped the war between the Kingdom of York and several surrounding countries not out of your own will, but to avoid upsetting Mernade."

"Am I right?"

Correct.

Quite right.

Charles smiled helplessly.

"How do you connect this matter to Mernadette?"

His experiences in the astral realm had largely exposed his true identity to Peroz, but she was able to quickly connect his now exposed identity with some past events, and even vaguely guessed the truth...

This surprised Charles a little.

"Because you're not that kind of person." Peroz's tone was a little nostalgic.

"You comforted me after Blackfyre started the war."

"You are a very rational person, at least when facing things that have little to do with you, you are very rational."

"After a war breaks out, you will analyze the causes, processes, and consequences, and then determine how much you contributed to the outbreak. Then, based on your own feelings, you will decide whether to intervene."

"If you choose to intervene, you won't do it in the heat of the battle, but will address the problem directly at the source."

"Because this is the simplest way and best suits your nature—a nature that dislikes trouble."

"Yet you didn't act in that way. Instead, you suddenly intervened when the battle was at its most brutal. In this situation, you not only exposed your power and identity to the various major forces, but also revealed your cherishment of this land."

"This is a nuisance to you and will also affect your leisurely life."

"This is definitely not the best option for you."

"But the end result is that, knowing this was a problem, you chose to resolve it in the most high-profile way possible, silencing the entire world."

"The only person who can make a rational person like you lose their rationality is someone you truly care about. And judging by her behavior, the only one who can influence you at that time is Mernadette."

"Then the question is, you and Melnadette have only known each other for a short time, why are you so close to her and do such a thing?"

"This can't be explained simply by seeing the shadow of a past friend in her. If she were a friend, then you might have done this. That's based on Mernadette's request."

"And given her personality, even if she knew something, she wouldn't ask you for help so directly."

"So it can only be that you saw the sadness in her heart and chose to take action on your own."

"But... judging from your personality, even if we were good friends, you wouldn't do something like this."

"Assuming that even a portion of what you say is true, then the shadow you see in Mernadè is either your former lover or someone you greatly respect."

"During your astral journey, Pandora's words hinted that the only true love you had at that time was Lady Doom."

"Mernadette can't be her. After all, your memory was blocked by her."

"So...with some guesswork, I can come to some conclusions."

"Mernadè has the shadow of someone you respect and even admire. You even think in your heart that Mernadè is the incarnation of that person, which is why you did those things."

"But there are still some things in this idea that I don't understand."

"If Melnadette is really someone you once respected and admired, why did you fall in love with her and always bully her?"

Peroz...

do you know?

Men don't like girls who are too smart.

Your analysis makes me wonder from which angle I should try to fool you.

"Is it because of the excitement and desire to conquer? I read in a psychology book that men feel a special excitement and desire to conquer when facing women with special identities. For example, commoners feel a sense of excitement and a desire to conquer, or ordinary people feel a sense of conquest towards extraordinary people..."

"Come to think of it, I remember that the God of Life in the Church of the Earth was a gentle woman in the legend. She was somewhat similar to Mernade."

"When you were a demigod, you naturally respected her. But after you became a demi-god and stood on the same level as her...some of that former respect combined with your LS heart, and it seems understandable that it has evolved into the way it is now."

Good guy...

I just call him an expert.
