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

Chapter 380 Chapter 50 Sif's Choice

family?

Looking at Charles who seemed a little lost at this moment, Sif felt a little complicated.

"Do you think I will believe these words when you say them at this time?"

"And the family you're talking about isn't it similar to Peroz and Theresa's family?"

"I don't want a family like that!"

My wife...is also my family.

"Of course not." Charles shook his head.

"The family I'm talking about is the same family as Mernade."

"No one would believe that." Sif rolled her eyes at Charles.

She felt that Ciel's analogy was terrible. Sif hadn't seen many times how other people treated their families.

But she could feel Charles's attitude towards Mernadette for a while.

It can be said that you are afraid of it melting if you hold it in your mouth, and afraid of it falling if you hold it in your palm.

And to myself...

Sif was sure that Charles' attitude towards her was definitely not the same as Mernadè's.

"This is true!" Charles said seriously.

"Then show me some evidence," Sif said unhappily. "You gave up your ordinary life for Mernadette and prevented a war. Then you set up a mutual aid group and held today's seminar for her."

"Have you ever done anything like that to me?"

After Charles' identity was exposed, everything that happened in the Kingdom of York was also exposed.

"That's because Mernadette sincerely asked me for help. Or rather, I sensed her strong desire."

"And you, Sif...from the time we met until now, you have never had such a desire in your heart." Charles' tone was calm and serious.

Hearing what Ciel said, Sif thought carefully and realized that from the time she met Ciel until now, there seemed to be nothing that she absolutely had to have or any wish that had to be fulfilled in her heart.

Even when she was imprisoned in the Royal Academy of Moroston, her desire for freedom was not that deep.

Her personality is very ordinary, maybe a little kind, but she is content with what she has.

She is not as kind and gentle as Mernadette, nor does she have such ambitions. For her, the strongest wish in her heart is probably to hope that Mernadette can succeed, or to hope that she will not be hurt.

"Even so, your attitude towards me in life is not as gentle as Mernadette." Sif thought about it and quickly found another piece of favorable evidence to prove her statement.

"That's because you have different personalities."

"Mernadette looks weak, and it's tempting to bully her. But after bullying her, I feel a strong sense of guilt. Under this sense of guilt, I naturally can't help but be nice to her."

"And you...are someone who can join in the conversation between me and Professor Endsworth."

The former Mernadette...or even the current Mernadette would blush when she heard the conversation between Charles and Endsworth.

But Sif...

She was a little embarrassed at first.

But now, she has become an old driver who can make fun of them in return.

"Anyway...anyway..." Sif wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Looking at Charles' serious expression, everything he said seemed to be true.

But for some reason, all these true words put together made her feel that they did not contain any sincerity at all.

"Rocks..." Sif's eyes were fixed on Charles's.

Charles didn't run away and went forward.

"You said you felt for me the same way you did for Mernadette."

"Or maybe you were like family to me, like Melnadine, for a while, right?"

Ciel nodded.

"Tell me the truth." Sif looked into his eyes seriously and said, "This is the most important issue that will determine our relationship."

"I don't care what the answer is, I just want you to tell the truth."

Ciel scratched his head. "Since it's your request, I'll naturally tell the truth."

"Since you've asked so many questions, I might as well talk more today."

"Do you remember what happened last time we were together?" Charles asked gently.

"What's the matter?" Sif asked curiously.

"It's what happens when you turn into a grain of sand and merge into the world, gaining insight into all the truths of the world." Charles was talking about what happened after he came out from the moon, took away Diana's divine body and made Diana and Sif merge into one.

At that moment he seemed to have become the world itself, and nothing in the world held any secrets for him.

Even now, Ciel misses the feeling and unique power of that time.

"That thing..." Sif couldn't help but frown.

That incident was a good experience for Ciel, but it was not a good experience for Sif.

She only remembered loneliness, darkness, helplessness and the last voice.

"I told you at that time that there is a very powerful power hidden in us."

"It's not just you, it's the same with Mernadette."

"Is this related to the question I asked you?" Sif asked with a frown.

"It has a lot to do with it. Because you both share this familiar power, I can't help but want to protect you, even to the point of making you my sisters out of a sense of fun."

"In the end, it was just as you said. Because there were no real blood ties or ethical constraints, this family-like relationship slowly transformed into love. Of course, you could also say it was a special kind of possessiveness at work."

"So, my feelings for you and for Melnadette are essentially the same."

"Of course, it's normal that I behave differently towards you and Mernadette."

"The power within you is a power I am very familiar with. It has protected me in the past."

"However...Mernadè's power protected me longer, so my initial favorability towards her was naturally higher."

"And, just like you, I was also attracted to that quality in Mernadè."

"Under all these circumstances, it seems that I dote on her more than I do on you."

Although a lot of things are still hidden.

But what Charles and Sif said just now were the truth from the bottom of their hearts.

"What exactly is the power in us that attracts you?" Sif asked with a frown.

"Is this the next question?" Charles asked with a smile.

Sif hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Well, before answering this question, I want to know whether I have passed your previous test."

Seeing Charles' playful look, Sif gave him a cold look.

"My previous questions were just to scare you. I have no other way to tell whether what you said was true or false except to guess."

"Besides...even if you're lying, I probably won't expose you."

"Why?" Charles was surprised.

"Because... you are the only friends I have left." Sif raised the corners of her mouth into a sad smile.

"Friends don't need to know too many secrets about each other. Appropriate lies may deepen friendship. If you are too stubborn, you won't be able to make too many friends."

Sif was mocking herself, but it was also a sideways response to Ciel's question.

If Charles had lied just now, she would pretend not to hear it.

But their relationship is just friends.

Appropriate lies between friends and their duration may deepen the friendship, but between lovers, especially when they are with Charles, a playboy.

If you lie at such a critical moment, it will be disgusting to talk about love in the future.

"You've wiped out all my friends."

"If I fall out with you, I might have to prepare to lose Perozzi, Theresa, and Mernadette."

"Losing everything in pursuit of the truth is too high a price to pay."

"Don't worry, our relationship with you will not affect each other." Charles said seriously.

"Do you believe this?" Sif asked unhappily.

Charles smiled awkwardly. "It might have an impact, but only a little at most, and it varies from person to person. Theresa and Perozzi will be affected more, but Mernadette probably won't be affected at all."

"No, maybe she will be affected in the opposite way."

"If she knew that I had made things awkward between us because of my lies, she would probably lecture me for a long time and make me apologize to you."

Speaking of Mernade, Sif couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah... I can break up with you and everyone else, but I don't want to lose Melnadè..."

Charles reached out and flicked Sif's head. "Let me tell you in advance, Melnadèle is mine. Don't have any strange ideas."

"But~ If one day, you decide to throw yourself into my arms like Melnadette did, I can mercifully let you sleep with Melnadette~"

"And then we'll be bullied by you together?" Sif said unhappily.

"Is it possible?" Charles asked in surprise.

Sif rolled her eyes at Charles and didn't want to talk.

It is meaningless to make harsh remarks about this matter now.

After all, if there was really a breakthrough in the relationship between her and Charles, although she felt shy just thinking about that ridiculous thing, given his personality, she probably wouldn't be able to outlast him, and it would happen sooner or later.

If there is no breakthrough, talking about this topic will only lead to being teased by the other party.

"I have answered your question. Let's continue talking about the power you just mentioned in me and Mernade." Sif turned the topic to the main track, which was also what she was most curious about.

"You only answered half of the question," Ciel said, stroking his chin. "You only said that you would pretend not to notice if I lied, but you didn't mention what would happen if I answered the question sincerely."

Several well-shaped characters appeared on Sif's forehead.

At the same time, her expression became a little unnatural.

If Charles told a lie, their relationship would stop at just friends and there would be no chance of moving forward.

But he told the truth...

Then Sif will naturally give him or herself a chance.

Although because of Endsworth, in front of Sif, Charles is almost full of shortcomings.

But the long-lost feeling of being cared for, and that visit, when they turned into sand and merged into the void, in that dark, helpless, and extremely lonely time, the feeling of having someone accompany her, and the sense of security that her calls would be answered, are things that she still cannot forget.

Although Charles was a little fickle, even today when Taylor's ideas were flourishing, gender equality was just a slogan.

Polygamy is a common phenomenon.

So, perhaps I have imagined in my heart that a plot that only appears in knight novels is happening to me - there is a perfect prince or knight who only loves me.

But when love truly comes, she won't mind sharing it with more people.

This idea was not shared by only her. Even Mernade, Perozzi, Theresa and others had similar thoughts.

"Are you sure you want me to tell you?" Looking at Charles who was full of expectation, Sif asked with gritted teeth.

"Of course." Charles smiled slightly.

"If you are sure that you are telling the truth, then I will give you or me a chance to try to change the relationship between us." She said unhappily.

Ciel was a little surprised. "I thought you would get angry or use some other method to avoid answering this question."

"Now is confession time."

"It's not just you to me, it's me to you."

"So I won't hide what I'm thinking. This is the most basic etiquette." Sif took a deep breath and said seriously.
