Your notoriety is known to everyone.

In other words, the fact that Alice can activate multiple special effects also shows that she has awakened her bloodline.

This made Rogers feel extremely confused. The other party clearly didn't even know what had happened to Kevin, so how could he have awakened?

Did I guess wrong from the beginning? Was it not the Uchiha template at all? Or was it the butterfly effect that affected the plot?

Suppressing his confusion, Rogers quickly shouted to Alice, "If you go in to find Kevin now, the result will be something none of us want to see."

[Alice activates the intuition bonus and tries to judge your words. 】

[Ignorance bonus is passively triggered, please choose whether to pass the judgment. 】

"Kevin is now imprisoned in the Earl's Mansion. The Minister of Security secretly interrogated him when I wasn't paying attention. He suffered some injuries, but his limbs are still intact and he can live well.

"I swear on the honor of the Brad family. From now on, I will ensure that Kevin will not be harmed again until the moment he leaves the Earl's Mansion." Rogers made the oath sincerely.

[The judgment of the intuitive bonus is passed. None of the above words are lies. 】

Of course Rogers did not lie. He just selectively told part of the truth to reassure the girl.

Perhaps the words finally had an effect. Alice paused and slowly turned around.

Her eyes were red, tears gathered in the corners of her eyes, and slid down her cheeks, leaving wet traces.

"Did you fall just now? How could you be so careless?" Alice noticed Rogers's dirty collar and took the initiative to reach out to help him smooth it out. She said in a hoarse voice:

"Ah... I'm sorry. I must have made you anxious because of my nonsense. Please forgive me for being so rude and stupid.

"Please also forgive my brother's stupidity. He was so arrogant and shouldn't have used violence against you. Even if he was injured, it was the punishment he deserved. I am really sorry for you.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that..."

Tears continued to flow down Alice's face, and she kept uttering words full of apology.

"None of this is your fault." Rogers gently wiped away the girl's tears with his fingers and spoke slowly with a complicated tone.

When he didn't know how to continue comforting her, Alice suddenly leaned forward, rushed into his arms, and hugged him tightly with her arms.

Rogers was stunned for a moment. As far as he could remember, this was the first time the other party was so close to him. However, he did not give any response. Instead, he warned calmly:

"There's no need for that. I'll take good care of Kevin, too."

The expected intuition bonus was not triggered, only the trembling weakness in my arms would whimper from time to time.

Roger's throat rolled. He didn't know how to face Alice, and he didn't want to raise his hands, which he had just used to drown his brother, to hug her.

This is not a game, but reality, and everyone's emotions are real.

He didn't understand why the damn fate had to choose such a gentle child to bear all this damn thing.

"My Lord, can I trust you?"

The girl in his arms asked in a trembling voice, as if begging.

The two little hands tightly grasped the clothes on Rogers' back, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.

Rogers' lips moved a few times, and he responded calmly: "Okay."

After saying that, Alice quickly withdrew from his arms, bowed deeply and vigorously, and then ran away without looking back.

There was still no sign of the intuition bonus being triggered, but instead an unexpected but reasonable prompt lit up.

[Avery Graywood casts a detection spell on you, and the Ignorance bonus passive is triggered. Please choose whether to pass the judgment. ]

Rogers silently chose to refuse. Avery Graywood seemed to be the vice-president of the strongest magic school in the empire. This old lady must have come because of Alice who had just awakened.

"Master..."

Hans' timid voice came from behind him. Rogers turned his head and saw him following behind Elena, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

“Don’t speak, don’t ask me questions.

"It's getting dark. It's time to eat something. After the great Earl comes back tomorrow, I don't think I will be able to have a full meal for a long time."

Rogers waved at the two of them and walked towards the side door with an expressionless face.

Chapter 9 Flexible Moral Bottom Line

The sky in the early morning took on a light blue hue. The sun, obscured by clouds, had not yet fully appeared, and only dim light penetrated the clouds.

These rays of light shone on the ground, outlining the busy scene of people in front of the Earl's Mansion. The servants opened the door early, waiting for the owner of the mansion to return home.

Rogers was standing outside the door, yawning uncontrollably. He had been organizing the plot of the game in his mind last night, speculating on the scope of the butterfly effect, and sorting out what key information could be used. He had not closed his eyes all night.

Elina stood beside him gracefully and elegantly. Her snow-white hair was no longer tied up like yesterday, but hung down to her waist like the finest silk. The morning breeze caressed her hair, causing it to dance gently.

Coupled with the plain and elegant white dress and the graceful and upright posture, she looked like a fairy walking out of an oil painting, and even the light was particularly fond of her.

However, the fairy was looking angry at this moment, and she would glance coldly at Rogers beside her from time to time.

"As long as you are willing to help me get through the trial ahead, I will show you a great treasure tonight. This is something that has never appeared in the world and will definitely satisfy your curiosity."

Rogers glanced at the servants in the mansion who were fully prepared for the reception ceremony, then turned around and spoke to Elena.

He originally wanted to try to use the Ignorance special to erase Elina's memory, but found that the activation of this special required a huge amount of magic power. Even after being promoted to Bronze, it could only make people forget something temporarily for a few seconds.

What's more, he is still a Black Iron at the moment, so he gave up this plan and turned to comfort his fiancée.

Rogers didn't want to be locked up in the observatory tower by the angry earl. He still had many plans waiting for him to do, so he hoped that Elena could help mediate.

After all, the future daughter-in-law's plea should be of some use.

"I'm sad, not because of your fraud against me, but because I can no longer trust you." Elina said with a cold face, moving her eyes in the opposite direction of Rogers.

Ever since Rogers performed that strange sacrificial ceremony yesterday, Elina discovered that her foresight bonus had completely lost its effect on this guy.

She had no idea whether what came out of that sinister mouth was true or false.

What’s more serious is that the future related to Rogers seems to be shrouded in an impenetrable fog.

As I started to interact with Rogers, my future became a little unclear.

The more Elina thought about it, the more she felt that this hateful guy must be targeting her.

Seeing this, Rogers shook his head and sighed. The friendship was overturned in an instant.

On the avenue far in front of the door, the sound of horse hooves gradually became clearer, and clouds of dust rose up.

When the heavy iron hooves came into contact with the ground, a low metallic collision sound was made, which was steady and powerful, rhythmically intertwined to form a unique melody.

At this moment, the sunlight also pushed away the obstacles and sprinkled on the armor of several knights, making it shine with metallic luster, and the tall figure was getting closer and closer.

When the well-trained knights arrived at the gate, they all dismounted and saluted Rogers with chest beats:

"Follow Breed's will!"

Rogers looked at the leader closest to him, who had thick, shiny dark red curly hair, which was neatly curled on his head.

His eyebrows are thick, black and powerful, his eyes are hidden in a pair of deep eye sockets, and the muscle contours of his entire face are strong and powerful, giving people a feeling of inviolability and determination.

Rogers knew him. He was a decorated knight named Recus, and also the captain of the Earl's Guard Knights, which belonged to his own family.

"In accordance with the Earl's wishes, I will escort the young master to the Observatory Tower to rest first." After saluting, Rekus said solemnly.

"Why?" Rogers looked puzzled.

"The Earl has heard about what the young master did yesterday. He said he was afraid that he would lose his composure in front of Earl Devin, and he was even more afraid that he would not be able to control himself and accidentally kill his only child." Rekus repeated in a serious tone.

"I can explain..." Looking at Rekus's rigid expression, Rogers shrugged helplessly, gave Elena a look that said "I believe you", and then followed Rekus to the observatory tower not far from the mansion.

Not long after Rogers left, a convoy slowly approached.

Leading the convoy were two majestic and mysterious silver horses, with manes of blue and purple interwoven like a waterfall.

Each of the two horses sat with a middle-aged man, who was wearing thick hunting clothes with traces of mud, branches and other plants on his robes.

The visitors were Earl Breed and Earl Devin who were returning from hunting together.

Behind them were trailers filled with all kinds of rare birds and animals that had been hunted.

"Oh! My dear Elina! First of all, please forgive your father's slovenly appearance. Your mother was delayed a little because of the carriage. I believe she will be here soon."

Earl Devin, who was known for his gentle manner, jumped off his horse first and walked towards his daughter with a smile.

"Did you have a good time with Rogers? He didn't do anything rude to you, did he?" Earl Brad also dismounted and asked with a smile on his face.

Elena lifted her skirt slightly and bowed to the two earls. She looked up at Earl Brad who was asking the question. His smile made her feel a little uncomfortable.

The smile on Rogers' face when he deceived her yesterday was almost identical to the expression on Count Brad's face at this moment. It was true that like children, like father.

"he……"

Just as Elina was about to remove those unspeakable secrets and reveal all of Rogers' rude behaviors, she suddenly felt a burning pain in her abdomen.

Because Rogers answered her a question yesterday, according to the terms of the contract, Elena must give Rogers a help that does not violate the moral bottom line.

But the act of "deception" should be considered immoral.

Unfortunately, what Elina didn't understand was that the moral bottom line marked in the contract was not the morality recognized by secular public opinion, but what Rogers himself believed.

The poor girl had not yet figured out how fate had played a trick on her. Only the pain in her abdomen reminded her that she had been tricked again.

"Lord Rogers has excellent manners and demeanor. He has not behaved in any way that is impolite, nor has he done anything bad to me. I enjoy his company."

Elina put her hand on her lower abdomen, where the burning pain was slowly dissipating, and answered with a slightly aggrieved tone.

Earl Devin looked at his daughter's slightly furrowed brows, the way she subconsciously covered her belly, and her obviously insincere words, and instantly imagined many scenarios that were difficult for him to accept.

There seemed to be a flame burning in his amber pupils, and the wrinkles between his brows further highlighted the anger in his eyes. The air flow around him seemed to be shocked by his sudden burst of anger, causing a brief stagnation.

Seeing this, the servants around lowered their heads one after another. At this moment, there was no trace of gentleness in Earl Devin's character.

The smile on Earl Brad's lips slowly disappeared, and his expression gradually became gloomy. He knew that his son was of average character, but he never thought he could be so bad!

"Logos!!!"

A roar filled with tremendous rage emanated from the door of the Earl's Mansion.

Rogers, who had just arrived at the observatory tower, couldn't help but shrink his neck instinctively. He could tell that it was his father's voice.

"That shouldn't be the case. The contract hasn't expired yet..."

He murmured in confusion.

Chapter 10 Your notoriety is known to everyone

The news of the Saint's birth spread like a swift storm, sweeping across the entire empire.

Nobles and citizens alike were talking about this historic moment.

And the name Rogers Brad became known to everyone along with this carnival.

If we don't say it's notorious, we can say it's infamous.

This is because the awakening of the saint according to rumors was entirely caused by Rogers' evil deeds.

There are many different versions of the rumor, however, there is one version that is favored by most people.

That is, Rogers had always coveted the beauty of the saint, and one day his bestiality finally took over and he wanted to defile her by force.

Fortunately, the saint's brother appeared in time and bravely stopped it.

However, how could the saint, who was still a commoner at the time, escape the clutches of the evil nobleman? In the end, Rogers captured the saint's brother and demanded that the saint go to his mansion at night and offer her body and soul.

Of course, the ending is still satisfactory. When the saint came to the noble mansion and Rogers attempted to do something wrong, the saint finally awakened her bloodline and gave Rogers a severe lesson.

As the absolute villain in the whole incident, Rogers has been imprisoned on the top floor of the Observatory Tower for nearly a week.

Fortunately, the observatory on the top floor was quite spacious, and Earl Brad built a simple house specifically for him to shelter him from the wind and rain, so he didn't have to live too miserably.

"Now your notoriety is known to everyone from Munster to Pader." Elina sat opposite Rogers and slowly told him the news outside the observatory tower.

There was a wooden table between the two of them, with a black and white chessboard on it.

There is no chess in this world. Rogers originally thought that if Elena could help him overcome the difficulties, he would make it for her to play with so as to satisfy her curiosity.

Sadly, in the end, this sport became a form of entertainment for him to kill time in the observatory tower.

"Has your father finally believed that I really didn't do anything to you?" After performing a casual castling move and dodging Elena's checkmate, Rogers leaned back in his chair and asked weakly.

He had been in the observatory tower for so long, and apart from Hans who had to take care of his daily life, only Elena would come and talk to him.

But this girl would set traps in her words from time to time, trying to get something out of him.

“I’m half-believing, half-doubting… But my father often praised the chess game you invented, and named it Loges Chess. He has already taught it privately to many nobles in the East.
