Little Priest's Cat Diary

Prince Sardis has a pamper!

This news swept through the entire City Lord's Mansion like a tornado in just half a day.

The Prince His Royal Highness, who has been single since he came to Schulte City and lived a life of abstinence that is hard for everyone to understand, has been pampered!

You know, for such a long time, more than one person has sent someone to the prince, either openly or secretly, but no one has succeeded.

Even those beauties who had been sent to the room and only needed to be enjoyed directly were thrown out by Sardis unceremoniously.

Therefore, some people secretly muttered whether His Highness Sardis had something to hide.

But now, this rumor has been self-defeating.

After all, ahem, one night.

All the guards on duty outside His Highness's residence that night saw it with their own eyes.

From this point of view, His Highness is still, ahem, very powerful.

…………

In the city lord's mansion, in the afternoon, a general walked quickly into the administrative room with a stack of parchment.

He has already counted the food, supplies and spoils of war consumed in this expedition, so he came to report to His Royal Highness Sardis.

Because he walked in a hurry, his steps were a little heavier.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked up, and before he could speak, he saw a colleague who was already standing inside give him a lighter gesture.

Lighter?

why?

He was wondering, and was startled when he looked up.

His Highness Sardis, as usual, sat at the table above and dealt with political affairs.

But what was different from before was that there was one more person beside him.

A teenager sat next to him.

The boy closed his eyes and wore a veil on his face, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

What surprised the general was that the boy was leaning sideways on His Royal Highness Sardis, and his head was still resting on His Highness's shoulder.

These subordinates all know that His Highness Sardis has a special 'cleanliness'.

As long as someone is even a little closer to him, he will feel uncomfortable.

Let alone letting others touch you.

Usually, people who try to get too close to him are slapped away by him, or even kicked away.

After being kicked a few times, these subordinates knew how to keep a safe distance.

Apart from fighting and killing people, they rarely saw His Highness touching other people.

But now, that Highness who doesn't like to be in contact with others actually let a young man doze off on him.

This scene stunned the general who just came in, and he didn't recover for a long time.

After staying for a while, he looked blankly at his colleague who came here before him.

The colleague shrugged and also expressed with his eyes that he didn't know the specific situation.

He just heard the gossip about His Highness taking in a new pet servant, and he thought it was nonsense. After all, with His Highness's special 'cleanliness' towards people, it is impossible to have skin-to-skin relationship with anyone.

But now it seems... the rumors may not be false.

There were other people in the political affairs room, but no matter the maids who brought tea and water, or the attendants who passed documents back and forth, they all acted lightly, trying not to make a sound.

This made the room unprecedentedly quiet.

Obviously, this kind of quietness is to not wake up the boy who is dozing off.

"bring here."

Sardis' voice sounded in the room, the voice was very low and light, but it was very clear in this quiet room.

The general suddenly came back to his senses, hurried forward, and presented the stack of parchment documents in his hand.

Sardis reached out to take it.

Naturally, his body moved forward slightly.

At this moment, the boy who was resting on his shoulder also moved his head.

As a result, the boy's upper body leaned forward slightly, and his head was about to slide forward.

The general stared wide-eyed at His Royal Highness Sardis suddenly withdrew his hand, and hugged the young man who was leaning forward.

He frowned when he saw His Highness putting his arms around the man.

Just as he was thinking that it was true that His Highness who hated contact with people was right, the next second, his eyes suddenly widened again.

He saw His Royal Highness Sardis frowned and thought for a while, then picked up the boy—yes, hugged him—put it on his lap—wrapped it between his arms—

The general just stared dumbfounded at his highness with one arm around the young man who was sitting sideways on his lap, letting the young man lean against his chest with his head tilted in the socket of his neck.

Don't talk about contact... This is basically sticking together, right?

Probably awakened by Sardis' movements, the boy moved slightly, half-opened his eyes, half awake, and muttered in a low voice.

"Is it over... can we go?"

Sardis lowered his head, his eyes soft.

"It will be fine soon, you can sleep for a while."

His voice was soft as if coaxing a child.

The young man blinked his slender eyelashes slightly, tilted his head, found a comfortable position, and closed his eyes again.

Sardis smiled, lowered his head, and rubbed the boy's soft forehead with the tip of his nose affectionately.

Then, he continued to look up and write down instructions on the paperwork on the table.

For some reason, every once in a while, he would look down at the sleeping boy in his arms, as if confirming something.

His left arm was always tightly wrapped around the boy in his arms.

There was silence in the administrative room.

Below, the two generals looked at me and I looked at you, with blank eyes.

…………

One day passed, and in the evening, Sardis said that he had something to leave for a while.

Under Sardis' tight clinging, Mia finally had some free time, closed the door, and let out a long breath.

Sardis went to the political affairs room during the day. He didn't want to go, but he was dragged there.

Although he didn't do anything all afternoon and even dozed off, he still felt very tired.

so tired.

Although he was wearing a veil, others couldn't see his face, but the eyes that looked at him with curiosity, astonishment or inquiry really made him feel uncomfortable.

"The so-called crossing the river and tearing down bridges and being ungrateful refers to guys like you."

Just as Mia let out a long sigh, a frivolous voice came from behind.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the red-haired young man jumping down from the window sill and standing in the room.

"Little Isiah, you really break my heart."

He opened his hands to Mia.

"I've been waiting for you in the cell for a long time, just waiting for you to wear armor, hold a long sword, and shine like a god, and save me from the dark dungeon."

"I've been waiting for you for two days—"

"I don't need that kind of effort. It's not like you can't get out by yourself. Look, not only have you come out now, but you can sneak into the prince's residence so easily."

Mia smiled slightly, ignoring someone who was selling miserably.

At any rate, he is the world-famous Thousand Faced Phantom Thief. If he didn't even have this ability, he would have died countless times.

Mia could guess that Xidir must have been arrested on purpose, just to tease people when he was idle.

So he didn't bother to find people. Anyway, Xidir got impatient waiting in prison, so he would come out to find him by himself.

"I'm waiting for you too," he said. "Sidir, take me out."

Xidir raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, he already guessed what Mia was going to do.

"By the way, those remaining platinum coins were given to you for safekeeping last time, so return them to me now."

"...Tsk."

Taking advantage of the time when Sardis went out, Mia left a note, and then quietly left the Santo's Mansion with Hidir.

Due to the perennial wars, the population of Schulte City is not commensurate with the city's huge area, which is a typical example of a large land and a sparse population.

But now walking on the street, you can find that Schulte City is much more lively than before.

Because nearly [-] survivors of Ponwe City traveled long distances and came to this city.

Just at noon yesterday, the gates of Schulte City opened wide, and nearly ten thousand Pangwei people who had been waiting outside the city for many days finally entered the city.

They were completely scattered, separated into families, and placed in different locations in the city.

At the same time, they were also warned that all of them would be on a family basis.Once anyone violates the laws of Schulte City, the rest of the family will also be punished. Once someone passes the news of the city outside as a spy, then this person and his entire family will be executed.

This continuous sitting system has deterred these newcomers very well, making them honestly dare not make any changes.

Mia walked through the dark alley, which was narrow and long, and the ground was even more uneven and dirty, full of dust and bits and pieces of rubbish.

He was standing in front of a simple wooden house.

The house is very simple and a bit dilapidated, surrounded by an uneven fence around the outside.

This is the civilian gathering area of ​​Schulte City, and it is still relatively poor civilians. The houses are all built of wood.

But this is also a matter of course.

Schulte City arranged free accommodation for the survivors of Ponway City, free of charge, of course not much better.Most of the original owners of these houses were people who could not stand the war and left here or died in the war. The houses have been vacant for a long time, and they have been in disrepair for a long time, so they are naturally more and more dilapidated.

Pushing open the incomplete fence door, just as Mia entered, the people in the room who heard the movement outside pushed the door and walked out.

A middle-aged man with a rich appearance that is not suitable for this place came out. He looked at the two people who were wearing cloaks so that they could not see clearly.

Although a little uneasy and nervous, he still greeted him with a smile.

"Who are you two looking for?"

Mia pulled down the hood of the cloak a little, revealing a small half of her face, and looked at the fat man.

The fat man suddenly opened his eyes wide, and all the vigilance in his eyes turned into surprise.

The business smile on his face turned into a bright smile from the heart. He grasped Mia's hand and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed the cloak covering Mia's figure, so he closed his mouth and turned his head to look at Four weeks, and then quickly dragged Mia into the house.

The beautiful woman who stayed in the room was staring at the door nervously, but when she saw the boy who was dragged in by her husband, she also showed a look of surprise.

She walked over a few steps and hugged the boy in her arms.

"Isaiah."

The woman's voice trembled slightly.

"I thought... I thought that you would never come to see us again."

After Isiah took them to the city of Shult, he left and never appeared in front of the Pangwe people again.

She was sad for a long time.

She thought she would never see her Isiah again.

"Forgive me, Isiah, I'm really sorry, we shouldn't have lied to you."

Mia laughed.

He raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of the woman's eyes.

"I'm very glad that it was you who saved me back then."

He smiles at the woman.

"You saved me and have been guarding me, as parents."

"To 'Isiah,' your lie was a warm lie."

"In the more than a month of living with you, I have had 'real' fatherly love and motherly love." He said gently to the two, "So, there is really no need to say sorry to me."

"Yes."

The red-haired phantom thief who had lifted his hood as soon as he entered the room leaned against the old wooden wall and shrugged.

"You really don't need to apologize. I think it's good that you can tell such a lie to abduct Isiah back."

With his arms resting behind his head, his phoenix eyes slightly bent to glance at the two of them.

"In a sense, you have indirectly saved your own life and the lives of nearly [-] Pangwei people."

The fat man and his wife looked at each other.

Although I always feel that this is wrong, it seems to make sense.

After all, if they hadn't taken Isiah to Ponwe, they and others would have died the night of the eruption.

Mia turned her head and looked around.

The house is dilapidated and small, and because there is no skylight, the narrow alley cannot let sunlight in, so it is dark and damp.

Thinking of the extremely luxurious and comfortable mansion I lived in when I lost my memory, it was like heaven and earth.

He took out a small purse from his waist and handed it to the fat man.

The fat man looked at the familiar money bag and immediately recognized it. It was the bag of platinum coins that he gave to the strange thief when he reluctantly asked the strange thief to take Mia away from the city.

His haggard eyes lit up in an instant, and he took it excitedly.

"Isaiah, I borrowed this from you. After I become a big businessman again, I will definitely pay you back ten times."

The fat man held out his chubby stomach even though he was a little smaller, and said decisively.

With these platinum coins as initial starting capital, he can start over!

Although the area of ​​Schulte City is larger than that of Ponway City, as far as he has seen in the past two days, the city's commerce is not developed. If he can take advantage of the opportunity, he may have greater achievements than in Ponway City.

Miya wanted to say no, this is yours, but seeing the fat businessman's eyes full of brilliance and confidence again, he nodded.

"Okay." He said with a smile, "I..."

Before he finished speaking, Hidir suddenly got up and pulled the wooden door open.

Gollum.

A chubby little man who was lying at the door and eavesdropping couldn't hold back and rolled in.

Xidir laughed, and picked up the little fat man.

The little fat man was still in a daze, and when he opened his eyes and saw Mia, his slumped face immediately became cheerful, and he rushed towards Mia while happily calling his little uncle.

Their family and the fat man are relatives, and they are considered a big family, so they live next door.

Just now he vaguely heard his little uncle's voice, and thought he had heard it wrong, so he sneaked over and leaned on the door to listen carefully.

Who knew that the door opened suddenly, causing him to roll in, knocking his head on the ground, and the pain made him almost shed tears.

But it doesn't matter, the little uncle doesn't feel any pain when rubbed by him.

The little fat man was happily enjoying his favorite little uncle rubbing his forehead when he suddenly remembered something and showed a sad expression.

"Uncle, I can't buy you anything now."

Mia: "..."

Still thinking about swiping my card.

"However, I'm still young. My third brother said that it doesn't matter if I'm poor when I'm young." The little fat man clenched his fists and said confidently, "I don't have any money now, but I will definitely make a lot of money in the future. I'll buy you whatever my little uncle likes!"

Mia laughed.

He patted the little fat man's head and said, "Okay, after you earn a lot of money, you can come to me. At that time, I will spend a lot of your money."

"Okay~~"

At this moment, the little fat man who was smiling so happily and brightly didn't know yet.

When he grew up, after he made a lot of money, Mia really cost him a lot of money.

Really, a lot.

oh~~

…………

After leaving, Mia fell into deep thought.

Because Schulte City exists like a border fortress, the food, weapons and other materials of the legion here are sent directly from the Royal City, and there is no need to trade.

The civilians lived by farming, fishing, and hunting, and they could barely support themselves, and they didn't think about doing business at all.

As a result, the commerce and trade in Schulte City will naturally not develop, and it can almost be said to be blank.

But the Pangwei people are different. Almost all of them make a living by doing business.

Going to meet the fat businessman and the little fat man this time gave him an unexpected inspiration.

Mia thought that perhaps this opportunity could be used to develop the economy of Schulte City.
