Little Priest's Cat Diary

After a lapse of more than ten days, the envoy of Mengast stepped into the palace of the city lord once again.

The clouds on this day were quite thick, blocking the sunlight and dimming the light in the political affairs hall.

Although the weather was bad, the emissary who entered the political affairs hall at this moment was in a bright mood.

When he came in for the first time, those generals almost all stared at him with unfriendly eyes.

Now, the figures of those rude and ignorant generals in the political affairs hall are much less, because they all went to the expedition with Prince Sardis.

Recently, the war in Portoyas has been unfavorable. Except for those stubborn people, some people who did not express their opinions on this matter gradually wavered, and those noble officials who had originally hoped for reinforcements from Moncaster continued to fight with them. He walks around, hoping to make a good relationship with him.

Now, he was standing here again, and everyone looked at him much more gently than last time, and some even gave him a flattering look.

That's right.

He nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

When you ask for help, you have to look like you are asking for help.

Like last time, he stood in the middle of the political affairs hall and looked up.

There are still two stone seats above, one on the left and one on the right, standing side by side.

It's just that the seat on the left is empty now, only the blue-eyed Shaoji is sitting on it.

The messenger smiled and bowed his head to salute.

"Your Highness, it is a great honor to see your honor again."

he said politely.

It's just that the moment he lowered his head, the corners of his lips raised a careless arc.

Although the prince of Sardis was young and not deep enough in thought, he still had sharp eyebrows and a dignified body. Sitting there gave people a very courageous feeling.

In comparison, the appearance of the young priest above is much softer.

Although a face is beautiful, it still has a bit of childish immaturity, like a childish boy who has not yet grown up, and looks very harmless.

After saluting, the moment he raised his head, the upward arc of his mouth disappeared.

The envoy, who was still respectful, sized up the young priest above him without any trace, looking at the slightly slender figure, he felt a little puzzled.

The news that this young priest personally led the cavalry to the battlefield has already spread throughout the mainland, and he has naturally heard of such an unimaginable thing.

It's just... Looking at this person's appearance, he doesn't look like someone who can fight on the battlefield?

He was staring, when suddenly a sharp gaze came.

Turning his gaze, he saw a black-haired knight standing at the bottom of the steps.

It was a tall and strong knight, and the badge on his chest marked his status as a knight commander.

Although the knight had a handsome face, his expression was as cold as a rock, and his whole body exuded a cold air.

The moment he met the other party's sharp eyes, the messenger suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

He quickly looked away, and at the same time, he knew it in his heart.

It is said that when the young priest was fighting, a knight with black hair, black eyes and black armor followed him, and it must be this one.

He consciously understood the truth of the matter.

Heh, even if he goes to the battlefield, I'm afraid it's the knight commander who will actually lead the troops.

Just when the messenger felt in his heart that he had understood the truth of the matter, Shao Ji who was sitting above spoke.

"Messenger of Moncaster, why are you asking to see me today?"

The clear voice of the young priest resounded in the political affairs hall, focusing the attention of the people with different thoughts in the hall on him.

The envoy immediately calmed down, looked up at Mia, and said with a smile, "Your Highness Shaoji, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not here, can you make decisions on his behalf?"

The disrespect hidden in the implication of those words made Faer's eyes slightly cold.

Mia didn't know whether he heard it or not, he tilted his head, and looked at the messenger with a pair of clear blue eyes.

"Sardis is not here, and all matters in Schulte City are up to me."

"In that case, I'm relieved."

The messenger said with a smile,

"Your Highness, I don't know how you have considered the suggestion that King Nassar of our country put forward last time to make the relationship between you and my country more intimate and stable?"

Before Mia could answer, the people standing below could no longer hold back.

An older official on the left couldn't wait to stand up.

"Your Highness Shaoji, the situation is critical now, and a decision must be made!"

Mia glanced at the elderly official, but did not speak.

The next second, someone stood up and spoke again.

"Yes, Your Highness, I am afraid that Ston's [-] troops will come to the city in two or three days. This matter cannot be delayed any longer!"

Some people take the lead, and more and more people follow and persuade.

"Ston's people are powerful, even with the bravery of the crown prince, it is difficult to resist."

"Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been defeated one after another, if he falls into the hands of the Ston people, or if something happens to him, Portoyas is really hopeless. So, just in case, let the Crown Prince return to the city as soon as possible, for safety."

"Knowing that the situation is dangerous, the Crown Prince insists on going his own way, which is a bit too capricious."

"It's rare that King Nassar is willing to lend a helping hand at such a critical juncture. What is there to hesitate?"

"I heard that the princess is also willing to go to Mengast to relieve the crisis in Portoyas, isn't it?"

"After all, the princess is still young, and I'm afraid she will marry again in the future. Now that King Nassar is willing to ask for a marriage, it is a good thing."

"In this way, the alliance between Portoyas and Mongast will become closer and more stable, which is beneficial to all parties."

The people standing on one side kept talking, and the main idea was to agree to King Nassar's request and send Princess Opelila to Moncaster as soon as possible, in exchange for Moncaster's reinforcements.

"What are you talking about!"

An official standing on the other side of the aristocratic officials who spoke finally couldn't help it, and spoke angrily.

"The princess is the mother of His Royal Highness Sardis, you actually asked His Highness to dedicate the princess to King Nassar—where do you put the Crown Prince?"

He shouted angrily, "If you do that kind of thing, the people will treat His Highness like this!"

"Don't speak so harshly."

Someone frowned and retorted.

"What offering? This is King Nassar's request to marry my concubine of Portoyas, just for the sake of marriage."

The official laughed out of breath.

"Do you think that with these high-sounding reasons, we can cover up the fact that our group can't even protect a princess, and can only protect ourselves by offering a princess to the king of another country?"

Another official standing beside him also sneered.

"That's right, people in the world are not blind. There are hundreds of thousands of men in Podoyas who want to hide under a woman's skirt. You are shameless, I want more!"

This sentence was extremely harsh, without showing any face to the other party, completely disregarding the presence of Mongast's envoy, he almost stomped the other party's face on the ground.

This person must have been disgusted by those people's high-sounding words just now.

As soon as the words came out, the people on the other side were also angry.

"It's too much for you to say that!"

"What's wrong with me?" The official is a grumpy person, and at this moment he is unceremoniously confronting those who he dislikes, "Your Majesty died in battle to protect Portoyas, how long has it been since he died?" ? You are going to dedicate his wife to the king of another country, are you worthy of His Majesty?"

The envoy of Mengast was very satisfied when he saw the Bodoyas in the hall quarreling endlessly.

Hearing that, he smiled and said: "How can you say it so badly? The princess's reputation is well known in Mengaste. Our Majesty admires the princess from the bottom of his heart, so he sent me Come here to sincerely ask for marriage. If the princess is willing to marry His Majesty, our Majesty will treat her well."

The official glared at the envoy, and was about to speak, when a thin middle-aged nobleman standing opposite him stared at him coldly, and said.

"Why don't you put the whole country's safety at risk and only care about your own reputation in your current behavior?"

"you--"

The middle-aged nobleman smiled coldly.

"You are not afraid of death, you are willing to fight and die for Portoyas, but if Portoyas is really destroyed, what is the use of you dying hundreds or thousands of times?"

"You are just trying to catch your name."

"In order to protect Portoyas, everyone can sacrifice, and countless soldiers died in battle. Now just marrying the princess to King Nassar can save the lives of countless soldiers, and you people, for your own sake Face, for the sake of your own reputation, would you rather watch the soldiers die in battle?"

The middle-aged nobleman spoke righteously, with a dignified look on his face.

And what he said sounded reasonable, and the anti-Japanese faction didn't know how to refute it for a while.

People from the Compromise faction occupy the commanding heights at this moment, and they speak one after another, pressing forward step by step, with an imposing manner.

"For the sake of a woman, you would rather let Portoyas perish?"

"For the sake of the princess alone, if Portoyas is allowed to perish, the soul of King David will really not be able to rest in peace!"

The people of the Anti-Japanese War faction are mainly generals, and there are not many left because most of them went out to fight in the city. In addition, most of the aristocratic officials on the other side are eloquent and good at sophistry. The person was speechless, but he was speechless, and had to remain silent.

Thus, the forces of the Compromisers suppressed the audience.

One of the nobles among them walked forward and looked at Mia.

He said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the situation is critical, please make an alliance with Mengast now."

Mia was sitting on top, tilting his head, propping his cheek with one hand, watching the good show in the hall with relish, when suddenly asked, he blinked and smiled.

"No hurry, just wait."

He says,

"For such an important matter, let me think about it again."

He said it lightly, but it made the people below anxious.

"It is imminent, how can we wait?"

"Please make a quick decision."

"Ston's army is close at hand, there is no room for delay."

There was no smile on the face of the Mengast messenger.

He lowered his face and said, "It seems that Portoyas has no sincerity towards King Nassar's kindness. If that's the case, I won't bother."

With that said, he turned around and made a gesture to leave.

But after turning half his body around, someone immediately came up to stop him and tried to persuade him nicely.

He stayed, but with a serious face, a look of 'if you don't make a decision, I'll leave'.

A young nobleman finally couldn't hold back seeing the downcast face of the Mongast envoy.

He looked up at Miya and said loudly: "Your Highness, although you have a noble status, you are still too young, not to mention that even the high priest has never participated in political affairs. Where is it placed?"

"Since you have been unable to make a decision for a long time, why don't you go back and rest first, and leave everything to us..."

Halfway through the speech, a shadow suddenly fell on his face.

A tall figure stood in front of him.

The black-haired knight commander blocked his view of the young priest above, and his cold and sharp eyes fell on him.

The knight commander said coldly, "Don't be rude!"

The tall figure that suddenly appeared in front of him and the terrifying aura around the black knight made the nobleman instinctively take a step back in surprise.

When he reacted, he was immediately annoyed.

"I'm talking to His Highness Shaoji! What are you? How dare you interrupt me!"

This young nobleman had been staying in the royal city before. When the sea people approached the royal city, he quickly escaped from the royal city.

He raised his head proudly and scolded the knight commander in front of him.

"Even if you take the position of knight commander now, you still can't hide your humble background."

"A mere slave-born thing dares to talk nonsense in front of me and stand in front of me."

He said contemptuously,

"You lowly fellow, don't step aside for me!"

Even though he was scolded face to face, Faer still had a stern look on his face, and stood there expressionless, as if he didn't hear the nobleman in front of him at all.

"you--"

The young nobleman was still scolding, when Mia above suddenly spoke.

"Faer, get out of the way."

In one sentence, Faer stepped back sideways.

"Well, you're right."

The boy lazily propped his side cheeks and spoke.

"Even if Fael is now the knight commander, he cannot deny the fact that he was born as a slave."

"That's right, Young Master Ji, how dare he..."

In the next second, Mia changed the subject.

"It's just that, even if he is a slave, he is also my slave, who is a young priest, and Sepul's slave."

The youth's sharp eyes looked down at the young nobleman below.

"What do you think, Sepul's slave...humble?"

The young nobleman's throat choked.

Indeed, as the servant of the young priest, Faer is equivalent to serving the sea god Sepul.

Who dares to say that a servant who serves God is humble?

This is disrespect to the gods.

He opened his lips, but he couldn't say a word.

After a long while, he said in a low voice, "I made a slip of the tongue."

After bowing his head and admitting his mistake, he stepped back unwillingly.

The people below exchanged glances with each other, and one of the old officials with half-white hair asked again.

"Your Highness, what are your plans for the Mengast Covenant?"

Mia looked at them with deep eyes, and said, "No rush, just wait and see."

"This--"

Not to mention those eager noble officials, now, even the envoy of Moncaster couldn't hold back anymore.

He coughed loudly, drawing everyone's attention to him.

After the surrounding area quieted down, he said, "Your Highness, the current situation in Porto Yass, you can't help but continue to be indecisive."

"Although my status is not as noble as yours, I am a few rounds older than you, and I am an old guy."

He said, "I'm an old fellow, and now I'm being rude for a while."

"Whether it's you or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you're still too young after all."

"It's not good to be too young."

he said pointedly.

As he spoke, he sighed and shook his head.

"I can't bear this grievance, what can I do in the future?"

You must know that in the future, he will have to take shelter of Mengast and be wronged by King Nassar, but the days are still long.

"I know, young people, young and vigorous."

He continued with a serious expression, "But don't just look at the present when looking at things, but also look at the future, and don't make decisions that you regret just because you are quick."

"We must mature as soon as possible and make mature decisions, so that we can shoulder the responsibility of a country."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Messenger is right."

"Your Highness Shaoji, you and the crown prince can no longer be stubborn."

"Now Ston's [-] troops are about to arrive at Schulte City. When the Ston people really break through the city of Schulte, it will be too late to regret it at the last moment."

Just when the Mengast messenger was chattering.

Just when the compromisers nodded repeatedly and echoed the envoy's words from time to time.

Just when the resistance faction was about to grit their teeth and their eyes turned red.

Just when Mia tilted her head and propped her cheek, she was listening to the envoy of Moncaster chattering indifferently——

Accompanied by a burst of rapid and loud footsteps, the messenger cavalry in light armor rushed into the political hall.

"Military emergency report!"

The cavalry gasped violently, knelt on the ground and raised the copper cylinder in his hand, his eyes were red.

The hall was suddenly silent, and many people's hearts were tense.

The military emergency report at this time, could it be that the Podoyas army was completely defeated?

Faer took out the secret letter in the copper tube and quickly sent it to Mia above.

Mia unfolded the scroll and looked down at the words on the paper.

The hall was silent.

All eyes were fixed on Mia's face.

After reading the secret document, the young Shaoji shook his head and sighed helplessly.

The hearts of everyone present thumped.

Could it really be——

"you're right."

Mia said,

"Our young people are young and energetic, and they are very angry. It's really not good, and it will cause irreversible results."

Mia's words made the messenger smile, and his eyes showed a little bit of complacency.

Mia sighed, and continued: "Sardis is the same. He got angry when he was wronged a little bit. When he got angry, he ran to take down his royal city. It's really outrageous——"

The envoy smiled and nodded contentedly while listening.

After clicking twice, he suddenly came back to his senses.

and many more.

Something seems wrong?

"Wait, wait a minute, what did you just say?"

The young Shaoji looked down at the messenger below with a pair of clear and harmless blue eyes.

He blinked and said, "He ran into the Dunston prairie and knocked down his royal city."

Messenger of Mengast: "..."

Everyone in Portoyas: "..."
