Yes, love can save humanity.

After playing chess for a whole day, Charles was not satisfied.

One night is really too short.

For the current Charles, it would take at least three days to be satisfied.

In fact, not only did he not feel released, but this state of being neither up nor down made him feel unhappy.

but.

Charles did not feel any resentment about this.

Rather, it at least gave him some good news.

For example, the temperament change effect of "Dragon Transformation" will not completely change his mind, but will make his thinking logic tend to be egoistic and rational, that is, he will become more like a villain, rather than becoming a dragon dominated by his second brother and greed in traditional stories.

For example, the ability bonus brought by "Dusk" has a special judgment mechanism. The improvement that this skill can bring is too weak when driven by selfish desires. The good thing is that the side effect of this skill - the purpose of "destruction" will not be ready to move, forcing Charles to take action.

Of course, the most important information is this last one.

His control ability is far better than he imagined.

That's right.

This is an important piece of information for Ciel now.

Even when facing Meilushin, who he could vent freely, he was able to control his desires and anger and treat her as a normal practice object.

Even if he is not satisfied at all, or even becomes increasingly dissatisfied, he can still stop.

This is really a good thing.

Being able to have this level of control means that Ciel won't easily hurt the people he truly loves.

There is no need to worry about not being able to continue when you are aroused, or needing to vent in advance.

In short, Ciel can love with confidence.

However, even if he can love without hesitation, he doesn't have to be impatient to find the person he likes to continue playing chess today.

After all, meal replacements are meal replacements, and they cannot replace regular meals.

"The existing insects have been dealt with, and the blood feud has been almost avenged..." Charles sighed, "It's time to change my mood and cultivate my sentiments."

"Anyway, go take a shower first to get rid of the smell."

Having said that, Charles walked out of the house and came to Mirror Lake not far from home.

Seven years after the demise of the Mirror Clan, the residential water supply system in the Lake District had already collapsed.

If you want to take a bath in this area, you either need to have magic skills to control water or you have to fetch water yourself.

If you want to be convenient, the best way is to go to Mirror Lake to take a bath.

When Charles stepped into the lake and began to wash his body, the lake water, which buried the remains of the last dragon and was filled with a little curse and magic, began to change.

The magic power containing the curse actually flashed with light at this moment. These light spots became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a stream of light as clear as a spring, pouring into Charles' body and soaking his limbs.

Under the protection of this stream of light, Xia's body suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and his troubled thoughts were also relieved to a considerable extent.

"The protection of Lake Light?"

How could Ciel not know the source of this sudden blessing?

Mirror Lake... no, the entire lake area is a spiritual place that was born around the remains of the last dragon.

There is only one possibility to get support from the spiritual land.

"I never thought... that one day I would also receive Albion's blessing..."

Although Melusin does not represent Albion in essence, it is at most a second-generation life born from Albion's remains.

But even so, this land transformed by Albion will indeed be affected by Meluseen's mentality.

Now, the Jingjing Lake, which was originally filled with some curses and resentments, has gradually become clear, which naturally shows that someone's mentality has changed.

"Just a little warmth can lead to such a big transformation... If it continues like this... that rotten piece of meat may indeed be able to transform into a new generation of white dragon."

"Even...Geoffroy and Fromont...may actually be born."

"And... he was born as a dragon..."

Ciel felt the magic power that was completely attached to him, so gentle that he could spend it without any burden. Ciel couldn't help but shook his head and said with emotion: "This is not funny at all."

He had no feelings for Meilushin other than desire.

It would be better to say that he could treat this meal substitute as a regular meal, which was a calculation that already had a bit of evil taste.

Because, Charles was really looking forward to seeing whether Melusin would give up the more unrealistic warmth after having felt the warmth that did not belong to her.

If he doesn't give up, he doesn't mind.

But if she chooses to give up...

Charles didn't know what he would do then.

But he knew that the smile he showed now must be very tasteless.

To be honest, Charles originally thought that he was different from the scumbag in the simulator who dared to confess his love to the three Valkyrie sisters, robbed Bagster, and even publicly declared to Noknaree that he was cheating on her. At least he was not so extreme in character and behavior.

However... judging from his current attitude towards Melusin...

If I don’t say it’s me...at least it’s pretty close.

Maybe this is why it is easier to learn good things than to learn bad things.

After expressing his feelings, Charles began to worry about possible problems with children.

"In my current situation... I am not very good at teaching children, but with Milushin's level, it is even worse."

"If you really have a child, you should give it to someone more suitable to take care of it... Speaking of which... are there parents in the Fairy Country who have sufficient education?"

Speaking of this, Charles couldn't help but recall several people he had met who had educational abilities...or were actually parents.

Mira...she does like children...but she likes children too much and tends to spoil them and make them naughty.

Merry...she did teach heroes like King Arthur...but with her bad taste...uh uh...I can't say.

Morgan... this one is even more of a heavyweight, that's enough!

Noknalei...if it was her, it would be fine...but asking her to take care of an illegitimate child...this is more or less a bit too much.

As for Bavanshi and Caster...ahaha, that's totally not possible.

From this perspective, apart from the long-dead King and Queen of the Rain Kingdom who taught the savior Ash, there is no other famous and experienced parents in the Fairy Kingdom!

Just as Charles was complaining, he suddenly thought of two "mothers" who could be considered excellent from a broad perspective.

"Percival... Oberon..." Charles muttered the two names, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help but sigh, "The female mothers in the fairy country... seem to be less reliable than the male mothers."

"It seems that we need to complete the missions issued by the simulator as soon as possible... and solve the various anomalies."

"Otherwise...I'm afraid I won't even be able to live a peaceful life."

"Fortunately, the gestation period of dragon seeds is not short at all... There is no need to worry about this for the time being... But we still need to make some preparations in advance..."

"Before that, we still have to solve the problem at hand."

Speaking of this, Charles couldn't help but feel a headache.

Apart from Meilushin, who can be treated casually as a meal substitute, there are three fairies in his family who are at the stage of discussing marriage with him.

Although to be precise, the only girlfriend that Ciel has actually established a relationship with is Noknaree, while Bavanshi and Caster are the type who will charge forward as soon as there is a sign of a relationship.

Regardless of whether Charles is a reliable scumbag or not, the situation where three ships are crowded into one port at once is really a very scary thing.

If there wasn't a woman named Noknare among these three who already knew that Charles was a scumbag and recognized the existence of the "Queen" in the harem, he felt that he could have prepared to run away long ago.

But...it is precisely because of the existence of the "Queen" Noknare that Charles no longer has the possibility of pretending to be stupid and forcing a roundabout way against Bavanshi and Caster, and can only face this sudden Shura field head-on.

To be honest, facing this Shura scene, Charles really had no way to deal with it.

It's not that he can't think of a way.

In fact, if he really wanted to solve the problem quickly, he could do it right away.

For example, with Bavanshi, this silly girl's extremely simple mind, Charles could easily say some nice words to her to coax her and make her think that she is the winner, or even think that fighting is a shame and humiliating thing.

According to Custer, for this poor child who has never received any love since childhood, as long as he spends more time with her and gets along with her as a normal lover for a while... she will probably accept the harem reluctantly.

As for Noknalei...she needs even less...all she needs is a wedding...or just a sentence "I love you"...and she will be satisfied.

See, that's not that complicated, right?

But this is not the future that Charles wants.

He is a scumbag, but he is not the kind of scumbag who likes to use deception to steal a girl's true heart.

Rather than deceive three good girls, Charles would rather be chopped by a hatchet and go to the Shura field.

"It seems that I am really hypocritical." Ciel said self-deprecatingly, "How about I learn from the third round of the Nordic drama and directly make a harem declaration, saying 'You are all my wings', and then get beaten up?"

"...Nordic...Third week?...Dear...Can you tell me what 'You are all my wings' means?"

Oh my god, how can this be a surprise attack?

Faced with Noknalei's sudden question, Xia was startled and looked in the direction of the voice.

At this moment, Noknalei was staring at Charles seriously, like a prosecutor interrogating a prisoner, waiting for his confession.

however.

Before Charles could speak, the originally serious expression of the female prosecutor had turned red, and her eyes began to show a hint of shyness and excitement.

It was like...a female leopard seeing a lamb, with the words "eager to make a move" written all over her face.

Soon, Charles will understand why the other party is like this.

"Dear, dear..." Noknalei looked at me with a burning, melting gaze, and slowly moved downwards. She said in a slightly sharp voice, "Are you... inviting me?"

"what?"

Charles was stunned subconsciously for a moment, and then he remembered what state he was in - he was still taking a shower!

"Why did you suddenly come here? Why didn't you warn me?" Ciel complained while squatting in the water. "And what's wrong with your expression... Can you be more reserved?"

"We are husband and wife!" Noknalei blushed and explained quickly, "It's okay for husband and wife to look at each other...right?"

How come you are even less shameless than me!

Ciel complained speechlessly: "That was in the last life. We haven't gotten married yet in this life."

"As for marriage, why not just hold another one...oh...yes..."

As Noknalei spoke, she seemed to have captured the key material and quickly filled in the inappropriate... no, too appropriate content in her mind, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"...How about..." Noknalei wiped the tears of emotion from the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "Let's do one here...right now..."

Faced with Noknarei's reaction, which was not only unrestrained but also very indecent, Charles was completely speechless.

No...who is the man and who is the woman here?

Why do I feel like...you have absolutely no sense of being a woman...are you taking advantage of me?

Charles even inexplicably felt that his previous reflections on being a scumbag with a harem and his entanglement with the Shura Field were all unnecessary.

After all, considering Noknalei's current very bizarre... even insane mental state, it was hard for Charles not to believe that he could easily resolve the Shura field that had troubled him for two days by selling out some things that shouldn't matter to him.

But... everything has a price.

Ciel felt that...if he really relied on that kind of thing to solve the Shura Field...then what he would have to face next would not only be the Shura Field...but also Type-Moon Heavy Industries' most famous...assembly line.

When he thought of this, Charles's desire to complain suddenly became stronger.

Could it be that the protection bestowed upon me by "Lake Light" is telling me... that I am Lancelot Benlan... and that I should follow the Lance route?

Although it is true that I am a scumbag with a harem, what I desire is pure love, not pure sex!

The Demon King and the like are too outrageous!

Thinking of the scene that was too free, which could be said to be 100% or even 90% against the will of heaven, Charles quickly ran to the shore and changed his clothes under the disappointed expression of Noknalei.

"Honey...can't you just let go a little more..."

"I am the man, okay?" Facing his wife's regretful words, Xia was speechless and said, "...Can you pay attention to your image..."

"...Oh..." Noknalei nodded reluctantly, and then said, "...Okay...I'll pay attention..."

"Don't think about those weird things. Let's go home first." Charles looked at Noknalei who looked disappointed and said speechlessly, "The matter between Bawanshi and Caster has not been resolved yet."
