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

The puppet stopped its movements, and Theresa struggled with all her strength to get out of his arms.

"I'm leaving. Just like you said, I'm only nice to you because of dad."

"Now I'm going to pursue my own happiness."

"The one you like is Perozzi, right? You must take good care of her and yourself."

Your life would definitely be happier without me.

Theresa thought so, then looked into the distance with red eyes.

In the carriage, looking at the silent Charles, Morin felt uncomfortable all over.

He wanted to tell Charles the conditions he had been thinking about all day, but looking at Charles' complicated expression, he couldn't say it no matter what.

"Sir...would you like to take a break?"

The atmosphere became increasingly depressing, and Morin felt increasingly depressed.

"No need...I've been resting for too long."

Charles looked in the direction of Theresa, and a white light appeared in his hand.

"So...should we go back to school or home now?" Mo Lin asked cautiously.

"No need." Charles shook his head.

“You don’t have to do anything.”

Morin paused and looked at Charles strangely.

"I'm sorry..." Charles apologized to Morin.

Morin felt like his head was a mess and he couldn't understand Charles's thoughts at all.

"I can only fulfill my promise to you after you discover my flaws next time."

Charles said with a smile, and then Morin saw a flash of white light and lost consciousness.

Time slowly moved forward, but the white light changed everything.

The long river of time slowly flowed backwards, and after a short while, the white light ran out of power, but soon dozens of light spots of various colors poured into the white light, and time continued to flow backwards towards the one behind.

The small light spot could not last long, and then several larger light spots appeared. With the addition of those light spots, the speed of time reversal became faster.

"Hey~ Rocks, why do you look drowsy?" A clear and familiar voice sounded in Charles' ears.

In the office, Theresa looked at Charles, whose face was a little pale, with a smile.

"Maybe it's because I was in the City of Eternal Night last night?" Endsworth joked cheerfully.

"Professor Endsworth, please don't slander my character casually. I rarely go there since Melnadette came to our house." Charles said with a smile.

"Tsk~ Who knows whether you go there more or less frequently." Teresa said proudly.

Charles suddenly stood up and walked in front of her.

Facing the other person's gaze, Theresa became nervous.

"You, what are you going to do?"

Ciel said nothing, but gently pinched her cheek.

"Theresa..."

"What?" Theresa looked at Charles with a flushed face.

"If you confess to me now, I will agree to it~"

-

Chapter 166: Sif: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Almost instinctively, Theresa pushed Charles hard, then lowered her head to hide her hot and red cheeks while shouting, "What are you talking about, you bastard!"

"Who would confess to a guy like you?"

Although I did kiss you before, but...

When it comes to confessing love, no girl would take the initiative.

This guy is not a gentleman at all!

Who would like you and confess to you?

"Hmm...you really won't consider it?" Charles didn't care about Theresa's slightly frantic mood at the moment, and said with a smile, "This opportunity cannot be missed."

Theresa sorted herself out, looked at the hateful expressions of Endsworth and Charles who were watching the excitement, and glared at him fiercely.

"I have class soon, so I'll go get ready first!"

After finishing her words, Theresa quickly walked out of the office.

After closing the door, she paused and placed her hands on her chest.

The "thump, thump" sound of her heartbeat made her cheeks blush more and more.

"This guy...what on earth is he thinking!?"

"Why are you saying this in front of the professor..."

but...

If Professor Endsworth was not here at this time today, would I agree?

Theresa pondered this question as she walked forward.

She quickly shook her head to get rid of the thoughts in her mind.

"Who would agree to something so insincere?"

“Not even a bouquet of flowers!”

While muttering this, Theresa skipped and walked towards the classroom.

Her brisk steps and the smile on her face instantly became a beautiful sight on campus.

In the office, seeing Theresa running away, Endsworth's eyes turned ambiguous when he looked at Charles.

"Hmm...it seems like you and Theresa have been getting along pretty well lately."

"That's about it." Charles said as he made himself some tea.

"I wanted to invite you to the City of Eternal Night tonight, but now it seems I'd better not disturb you young people."

Charles was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I haven't been there for a long time, and I miss it a little."

"Huh!?" Endsworth looked at Charles with some confusion.

To be honest, Charles' performance today was somewhat beyond his expectations.

At first, the relationship between him and Theresa seemed to have made great progress, but he did not strike while the iron was hot, but instead did this kind of thing.

"Teresa is a good girl, Lockes, you should think about it carefully." Endsworth advised seriously.

In his early years, Endsworth also had someone he liked, but unfortunately they were not destined to be together.

The fact that he has been staying in the City of Eternal Night for many years does not mean that he does not yearn for love in his heart.

Yes, although he is old, Endsworth is a bit introverted and sometimes wonders whether he will be favored by love again.

However, given the frequency with which he went to the City of Eternal Night, his idea was basically impossible to come true.

So Yo, looking at Charles, Endsworth wanted to persuade him.

"She is indeed an excellent girl, but... I am not the right person for her."

Demigod is a dividing line.

Ciel considered finding a partner, but this partner's strength must not be lower than that of a demigod.

It's not some vulgar reason of being well-matched.

He simply hopes that the person he likes will have the power to protect him.

When facing the enemy, at least you can hold on until you can rescue them.

For Charles, love is a luxury.

He is very greedy.

If love cannot be "eternal", he would rather not have it.

Just like the unforgettable throbbing that the elf princess Lulu Eve brought him, Theresa also brought him the same feeling in Charles' heart.

But... even a demigod elven princess could fall. Teresa's strength was ultimately too low. With such strength, even in this world, there were several ways to completely annihilate her, leaving Ciel unable to rescue her.

It was a luxury to deal with a Sequence 9 transcendent in this way, but it was perfectly normal to deal with someone he loved.

"Love doesn't have to be suitable or not. As long as you have determination, nothing can stop you."

"Besides, there has never been any obstacle between you."

Endsworth didn't understand what Charles was thinking, but he still comforted him like a kind elder.

"Maybe. By the way, Professor, where is Lecturer Sif?" Charles changed the subject.

Endsworth was stunned, then began to scan the office.

"Hey...Leopold was here just now..."

Charles's gaze crossed the space and came to a wilderness in the suburbs.

At this time, Sif was looking at the empty surroundings with a blank face.

"Where is this...?" Sif was a little surprised.

After she learned about Charles's schedule from Mernadette, she temporarily changed her own schedule and postponed her visit to Theresa for a day.

However, she didn't expect that she was riding in a carriage heading towards Severus Manor when a white light flashed.

Then everything seemed to go backwards in her eyes.

First, the carriage kept moving backwards, day turned into night, and then pedestrians on the road came and went at an abnormal speed.

A moment later, she became what she is now.

A person stands on this land, with no one around him.

"唏伦~"

The sound of horses neighing came from the distance.

Before Sif could come to her senses, a carriage stopped in front of her.

"Um... I remember you are Theresa's friend." A slightly familiar voice came.

The carriage window was opened, and Anne Severus stuck her head out and shouted to Sif.

Sif looked up at the other person and almost cried out.

how come...

In her memory, Anne Severus, Theresa's eldest sister, should have died.

This time her purpose of going to Severus Manor was to comfort Theresa...

Could it be that I was dreaming before?

"Judging from your appearance, there must be something wrong with the public carriage you are riding in."

"Would you like me to take you back to Moroston?"

Sif was so dazed that she didn't know what to say, and then she slowly got into the carriage. She felt that she had many doubts, but she didn't know where to start.

After all, the person sitting in front of him was dead. Could he really ask him directly why he was still alive?

In the office, Charles looked at Sif with a confused expression on his face, and a hint of "as expected" appeared on his face.

The power of time is very strong, but whether it moves forward or backward, it cannot affect them as righteous gods.

I think Mernadette must be very confused at this time...
