Little Priest's Cat Diary

The young page who rushed out of the crowd knelt before the dead prince, whose mournful cries broke the deathly silence of the square.

The faces of the nobles in the row on the left who surrendered to the enemy were all stiff.

They never expected that things would develop to this point.

Once Prince Pastor died, they could no longer get rid of the crime of traitors, and even added the crime of forcing the prince to death.

On the right side, the five or six soldiers who were pressed over and forced to watch the ceremony were silent, bent down, and bowed their knees to the dead prince's body.

May Sepul call the prince's soul into the immortal kingdom of heaven.

The female Shah had already stepped down from the altar, looking at the corpse lying in a pool of blood with a livid face.

If I had known that this person was so stupid, I might as well have kept him locked up, or simply killed him.

As long as the Crown Prince remains invisible, no one will dare to say that he is dead.

Although the effect may be worse, it can still bear his name anyway.

But now, Pastor has died in full view.

The female Shah knows—this is Pastor's purpose, he wants everyone to see his death, so that she can't hide the news of his death, so that she can no longer use his name to do anything!

madness.

Obviously has been abandoned by everyone, but still sticks to the last obsession.

Even at the expense of life.

The prince's behavior was really hard for her to understand.

The female Shah stared at Pastor's body with a sullen face.

After a while, she turned around, and the dark cloak was thrown away behind her.

She said: "Contain the remains of Prince Portoyas, arrange for their priests, and bury him."

Soon, her figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

The area around the altar in the square was very quiet, but the people outside the square were already in commotion.

After the initial shock, they could no longer hold back their whispers.

Among the dense crowd, a woman with long brown hair stood, watching from a distance that Pastor's body was taken away under the altar.

Then, she lowered her eyes and quickly walked out of the crowd.

It was obviously very crowded, but she swayed twice without bumping into anyone. She quickly left the crowd and got into a dark alley.

"I didn't expect to bump into this thing as soon as I came here."

'She' whispered something to herself.

Although she looks like a woman, her voice is a deep, masculine voice.

A pair of eyes raised from the shadows, the corners of the eyes are slender, and when the eyes turn around, there is a hint of seductiveness.

This 'woman' is naturally the Thousand-Faced Phantom Thief Hidir who sneaked into the royal city in disguise.

He sneaked into the king's city secretly to find out some news and achieve a certain purpose, but he saw the scene just after sneaking in.

That staunch crown prince... makes people feel a little pity.

However, until now, in order not to become a sharp knife used by the people of the sea to stab Portoyas, this is probably the only choice for the crown prince.

Hidir sighed in his heart, but his footsteps never stopped, and he was still walking quickly in the narrow alley.

Soon, his figure disappeared in the shadows of the alley.

…………

………………

The royal city fell into the hands of the invaders, and it was difficult for news from the outside to get in, but it didn't mean that the news in the royal city couldn't get out.

Soon, news that the crown prince failed to assassinate the female Shah and jumped off the altar to her death spread rapidly in various cities.

It didn't take long for the news of the high priest's murder to become known to everyone.

In just one month, three pillars of Portoyas, King David, the Crown Prince, and the High Priest, died one after another. The royal city with a thousand-year history that symbolized the glory of Portoyas fell into the hands of the invaders.

For the people of Portoyas, all this is tantamount to a catastrophe.

The successive blows have put the entire land of Portoyas in a downturn, and the morale of the people has also fallen to the lowest point.

The news of the High Priest's murder followed the news of Prince Pastor's death.

When they learned of this, all the people in the Political Affairs Office subconsciously turned their attention to a young general with an ordinary face.

After all, everyone in this room has already learned that the young general in front of him, who not only speaks viciously, but also behaves indescribably, is the high priest with noble temperament and grace like a god.

——Anyway, when Mia said this, Nadia struggled for a whole day before reluctantly accepting this unbelievable fact.

In the eyes of everyone staring at him, Antiste sat by the window with his eyes downcast, as if he was in deep thought.

"Do you want to restore your identity?"

Nadia couldn't help but ask first.

"In this chaotic situation, if even the high priest is 'dead', it will be a disaster for Portoyas."

Antiste looked up and glanced at Nadia.

"The high priest is dead."

He says,

"Everyone already knows about this."

"Just make it clear that the high priest in the city is a fake, and the real high priest is not in the royal city, but in Shuerte City."

Antiste smiled.

"With your brain, you can probably only think of this."

He leaned towards Nadia, his eyes undisguised his dislike for Nadia's proposal.

"So, tell me, if someone asks why the real high priest is not in the royal city? How should I answer?"

"..."

Nadia was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Tell them the High Priest went to war pretending to be a general—do you think anyone will believe that?"

Antiste continued, "Yes, you know the real reason, but the fact that others have seen is that—as the high priest, he did not guard the Sea God Temple, and after leaving a substitute, he escaped from the royal city first— —Do you think such a high priest can still be accepted by the people of Podojas? Is there anyone willing to believe in it?"

Nadia fell silent.

Sardis spoke.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Antiste didn't answer, he stood up and walked to Mia who was sitting beside Sardis.

Mia subconsciously looked up at Antiste.

Antiste laughed.

He reached out and touched Mia's head.

Looking at the tall and straight young man in front of him, a smile appeared in his eyes, as well as a touch of emotion.

He remembered the scene his adjutant told him. On the night when he had a high fever and was unconscious when the thieves attacked, it was the boy in front of him who fell from the sky and protected everyone.

The child he thought he would always protect had grown up before he knew it, even grown enough to protect him in turn.

"Although it's still a lot worse than me..."

Antisite paused.

He said, "Mia, it is time for you to become high priest."

Miya's eyes widened suddenly, and he stood up abruptly.

"No, I-"

But before Mia finished speaking, Antiste interrupted him.

"Listen, Mia, the king, crown prince and high priest of Portoyas have died one after another. There have been rumors that the sea god has abandoned Portoyas. The people have lost their support and faith."

"Yes, Crown Prince Sardis is still there, and he will become the new King of Portoyas."

"But, Mia, Sardis alone is not enough."

The hand rubbing Mia's head slipped down, and Itit held Mia's cheek.

His eyes met Miya's.

"The king is responsible for protecting the lives of the people, but what the high priest wants to protect is everyone's hearts."

"Now, the desperate people need a new high priest."

"Only you, who was sheltered by the beasts and even made miracles appear, and you who are favored by Sepul, appear as the new high priest, so that everyone can believe that Sepul has not abandoned Portoyas."

"Do you understand, Mia."

The boy opened his eyes, and his clear and bright pupils reflected Yitit's blue eyes.

It seems that the ocean and the ocean overlap together, reflecting the refreshing blue.

After a while, the boy nodded slightly.

He said, "I see, sir."

The soft teacher called Yitit so softly that he couldn't bear it.

In his eyes, his little disciple was still a child.

It's just that the current bad situation forced him to let Mia take on this responsibility.

Thinking of this, he stroked his little apprentice's cheek lovingly.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Sardis who was watching him and Mia.

He smiled slightly and asked, "His Royal Highness, do you have any objections to this matter?"

How could he have any objections to Mia's good things?

Sardis looked at Itit inexplicably, not knowing what his question meant.

But maybe it was because the person in front of him told him such a scalp-numbing thing as "promise with his body" with the same smile and tone, now he felt a little terrified when he saw Yitit's expression.

He thought about it carefully, and after confirming that there was no other meaning in what he said, he nodded.

"No problem, just do as you say."

"Follow your orders, Your Royal Highness."

Every sentence carried an honorific title, judging from the tone of the speech, the former high priest who seemed to be extremely respectful to Sardis laughed again.

He smiled and said: "Then, today I will accompany His Highness Young Sacrifice to move into the Sea God Hall."

Sardis: "!!!"

The newly built Sea God Temple in Schulte City has just been completed. Although it is not as ancient and distant as the Sea God Temple in the royal city that has been passed down for thousands of years, it is also magnificent. architecture.

It is located in the new urban area of ​​Schulte City, far away from the City Lord's Mansion, which was originally located in the center of Schulte City.

The slightly smaller Luna Temple was built next to it.

On the second day after the Temple of the Moon God was completed, the old priest of the Moon God and other priests of the Moon God all moved in.

However, the Sea God Temple, which was built before the Moon God Temple, has been empty, with only some servants cleaning and maintaining the temple inside.

It stands to reason that Mia should have moved in long ago.

But Mia had been concealing her identity as a young priest before, so naturally she couldn't live in it.

It was not until the opportunity of rescuing the fugitive citizens of Dimez and bringing them to Shuerte City that Mia showed up in Shuerte City as a young priest.

Then, one thing after another, everyone was so busy that no one cared about such insignificant things.

But now, since Mia is going to succeed the position of high priest, of course she has to move to the Sea God Temple.

General Antiste, who was used to being swift and swift on the battlefield, was also swift and resolute in his actions.

On the day he 'got' the crown prince's order, he quickly escorted the future high priest from a certain crown prince's room to the Sea God Hall.

At the same time, he also lived in the Sea God Temple on the grounds that he had the responsibility to protect the Shaoji.

In this way, a group of knights under his command naturally also entered the Sea God Temple with him and became the guard knights in the temple.

Under Antiste's arrangement, within a few days, the Poseidon Temple established an effective order and became a place with strict guards not inferior to the City Lord's Mansion.

For this matter, all the soldiers are happy, and the citizens of the city are looking forward to it.

The only person who is dissatisfied with this matter is probably the ruler of Schulte City and the new crown prince Sardis of Portoyas.

Not to mention being alone and sleepless every night.

Now, if he wants to see Mia, he has to run from the City Lord's Mansion to the Sea God Hall, which is extremely inconvenient.

Even if they met, they couldn't say much because there were always other guard knights or servants present.

Especially when he came to look for Mia for several days in a row, all of which came in vain.It is said that because she is about to succeed the high priest, Mia is busy studying under the guidance of Itit these days and is ready to take over.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

He was used to Mia being by his side all the time, in a place he could see when he raised his eyes, but now that he couldn't find anyone and couldn't speak, Sardis was extremely depressed.

……

That night.

Winter is coming to an end, and the weather in Schulte City has become much clearer recently.

Above the night, the stars twinkled.

Mia, who had been busy all day, was lying on the bed with her limbs spread wide.

He opened his eyes, staring at the starry sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows in a daze.

The starry sky stretches as far as the eye can see, and the stars gather to form the Milky Way across the dark night.

Mia looked at the little stars, and was in a daze for a while.

He suddenly remembered what he was about to forget, before he was thrown to Portoyas, in the strange night sky where he was, the magnificent galaxy formed by countless light spots.

It is said that in the galaxy of time, a single point of light is a person's life.

He thought, at that time, in the torrent of the Milky Way that he saw, were the light spots of Pastor, King David and the many people who died in the war also in it?

Thinking of this, he unknowingly got up and got out of bed, and walked to the balcony outside the French window.

His bedroom is the highest point of the Sea God's Temple. Looking down from here, he can see a large area of ​​the city shrouded in darkness.

Mia stood in front of the stone railing, looking up at the starry sky, and the chilly wind brushed against his cheeks.

Starlight fell into his clear blue eyes.

He thought, have the souls of those who died returned to the long river of time?

Just as the boy was staring at the starry sky in a trance, suddenly, a hand stretched out from the darkness below.

Grab it on the stone railing.

This sudden outstretched hand woke Mia up from her trance.

He stared blankly and astonished at the hand that was holding onto the stone railing.

If I remember correctly, his bedroom is the highest floor of the Sea God Temple, more than 20 meters above the ground.

Before Mia came back to her senses, she squeezed her hands on the stone railing, and her tall body exposed from the night jumped into the stone railing.

The person who came looked up, and his strange-colored eyes reflected the young man's figure, and instantly lit up.

"Mia."

Like a big lion that hasn't seen its master for a long time, Sardis's eyes flickered brightly, and he came over wagging his head and hugged Mia happily.

Mia was still a little confused.

"...Wait, how did you get in here?"

"Climb over the wall to come in, and then climb up from the outer wall."

Sardis replied casually.

The long golden hair flicking behind his head is like a long tail that is constantly swaying.

Mia: "..."
