Mia chuckled, and raised her eyes to stare at someone who almost fooled her.

"Obviously you are showing love?"

After a kiss, Sardis was not satisfied.

He lowered his head and put his forehead against Mia's forehead, rubbing it from time to time.

The eyes of the two were very close, and the shadows of Sardis's eyelashes seemed to fall into each other's blue eyes.

Sardis stared at the eyes of the boy in his arms that were still bright even in the dark.

Everyone said that his mother, Opelila, was unrivaled in the world for her beauty, and her emerald green eyes that looked like malachite were even more unparalleled treasures in the world.

However, he felt that the blue in front of him was the most beautiful color he had ever seen.

It is more intoxicating than the most intoxicating wine in the world, and he is willing to indulge in it.

"You can say so if you want."

His lips curled up.

"However, you should tell me first..."

"It's you first!"

Mia said unconvinced.

"Okay, let's count it as my first, okay?"

Sardis's voice was low and gentle, and his gaze on Miya was even more gentle that could almost drown people.

That tone sounded like he was coaxing people.

"........."

Although it seemed that she had won on the surface, Mia always felt that something was wrong.

like where...

…………

and many more.

He was clearly protesting against Sardis' claim that he showed his love to him, but how could it become a question of which of the two of them would show love to whom first after Sardis said a few words?

After reacting, Mia hurriedly wanted to correct her.

"Wait a minute, it's not a question of who comes first... Anyway, I didn't show love to you!"

His previous phrase 'I like you? ' is an interrogative sentence, but it is not an affirmative sentence because I subconsciously asked myself because I was confused by Sardis.

Sardis looked at Mia who was staring at him angrily, with a deeper smile in his eyes.

"Well, you didn't."

He said softly, still in that coaxing tone.

After coaxing him, he even lowered his head again and kissed the little red mark on the corner of Mia's eyes that had made him itchy.

Mia: "..."

He always felt that in the current situation, no matter what he said, he seemed to be losing his temper and making trouble for no reason.

No matter what he said, it is estimated that Sardis would not listen to it, but continued to coax him along with what he said.

Mia pushed Sardis away depressedly, turned around and went to the bed, with her back to Sardis.

Let that guy be narcissistic.

He doesn't care.

Mia closed her eyes, trying to continue sleeping.

But when he closed his eyes, the words Sardis said just now passed through his mind again.

...What do you think is liking someone...

【I will think about it all the time, and I will keep that person in my heart and regard it as the most important existence in my life. 】

His emotions towards Sardis...as if, as if...really similar to liking someone...

Mia felt a little confused for a moment.

So, what is he...

With his eyes closed, while he was in a trance, a big hand fell on his head, stroking his hair.

That movement was very gentle, as if he could feel the gentle gaze on himself even with his eyes closed.

What came into his ears was that familiar voice.

"You will always be by my side, Mia."

For some reason, when she heard these words, Mia suddenly felt that her mood was a little complicated.

He didn't know why his chest tightened suddenly.

He opened his eyes, but didn't look back.

Letting the slightly rough hand stroke his hair, he hesitated for a long time, then said softly, "Sadie, if one day I can no longer stay by your side..."

"There won't be that day."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted abruptly.

Sardis' words carried an invisible toughness.

Because Mia didn't turn her head at this moment, she couldn't see the dangerous arc flashing across the different pupils of the people behind her at this moment.

When he turned his head, he saw Sardis leaning over and lowering his head, his lips gently touching the corners of his eyes.

With his eyes open, he could only see the long golden hair slipping from Sardis' shoulders to his cheeks.

"That day will never come."

"I won't let you go anywhere but by my side."

Those were extremely firm words.

It is also an indisputable statement.

When Sardis' tall body bent down, the huge shadow completely enveloped the slender body of the young man below him.

It is completely shrouded, not even a little moonlight can fall in.

"Mia, everything about you belongs to me."

Being pressed under the opponent, the hazy moonlight shone from above, and Mia couldn't see Sardis's face clearly in the backlight.

But what Sardis said made his heart jump suddenly, and his fingers clenched involuntarily.

In the next second, that hand was grabbed by Sardis and pinned to the bed.

The other party kissed the corner of his eyes, and then the kiss slipped from the corner of his eyes little by little.

To the cheeks, and then to the corners of the lips.

In the end, it was still the familiar strong and fiery kiss that almost made people breathless.

The feeling of being robbed so hard to breathe made the bright red in the corner of Mia's eyes more conspicuous.

He tried to struggle, but couldn't move because his hands were clasped tightly on the bed.

A bit of water vapor escaped from the slightly trembling slender eyelashes, and was kissed away by Sardis lovingly.

It was very quiet in the room, the skylight was open.

In the night sky, most of the white clouds have drifted away at some point.

Half of the full moon covered by the clouds is exposed, as if half is missing, but there is another kind of incomplete beauty.

The veil-like moonlight fell into the room from the skylight, hazy and mysterious, with a hint of coolness.

The half-covered waning moon seemed to be staring at everything happening on the earth at this moment.

........................

On the other side of the city lord's mansion, in a room, the old sage who was drunk at a banquet not long ago was lying on a couch.

Although his face was still very red, as if on fire, the old man's eyes were clear and he was clearly awake.

At this moment, he was drinking water with ice cubes while quietly listening to his disciple's words.

"If the people from Ston hadn't called at that time, I would have planned to find you."

After telling his teacher about the strange thing that happened to Mia under the moonlight not long ago, Antiste looked a little dignified.

He said, "Teacher, the moon god..."

The former high priest didn't answer the disciple's question, he seemed to be thinking about something.

After a long time, he raised his head and took a sip of ice water.

"Just like I told you before, the divinity of the Moon God is just like the moon in the night sky, unpredictable."

He stared out the window at the bright moon looming in the clouds.

"She is loving and cruel."

"She protects those she loves and destroys those she hates."

"As the saying goes, [Moonlight makes people mad]."

"She never forgives sin."

"Under the incomplete moonlight, everything is chaotic and disorderly."

The old sage whispered softly, his eyes were in a trance for a moment.

"People are born with desires. When they cannot be restrained and let desires override other things, it becomes a sin."

"God sent 'hope' to the world, but people killed the 'hope' that saved them because of desire."

"That is a sin that can never be forgiven..."

Whispering in a low voice, the old man closed his eyes, raised his hand, and covered his face.

"teacher?"

"Itit."

"Yes?"

"Protect that child, the Moon God wants to take him away."

"!!!"

"I guess, if that child took a step that night, then he will never return to this world."

"But why, teacher, why is this happening? I can clearly feel that he should be the successor of the high priest, why would the Moon God..."

"I don't know, Itit, I just have this feeling, more, I can't see through."

The old sage put his hand on his heart.

The place with a special pattern tattooed on it.

"Don't worry too much," he said. "He is Sepul's favorite, and the sea god will protect him."

"The place where the bloodline of the Portoyas royal family is inherited is the place where Sepul's power gazes."

"So, don't let him and Sardis get too far away."

"...Yes, teacher."

…………

………………

The pattern on the east side of the mainland has once again undergone major changes.

The southeastern coast is occupied by the invaders Sea Folk.

The kingdom of Ston in the north exists in name only, and it falls into the control of the sect founded by the great sage Artur Dodd.

The crown prince of Portoyas, Sardis, has risen in power and fame, and has become one of the important figures on the mainland that cannot be ignored.

Mengast, who intended to block Portoyas, saw that he had no chance, so he had to withdraw the tens of thousands of troops swallowed at the border.

After experiencing that lesson, the Sea People who occupy the southeastern coastal area do not seem to plan to act rashly in a short time.

Not to mention the country of Ston in the north, which is actually controlled by Sardis.

In this way, Portoyas will have a long period of peace.

No one knows that Portoyas, who seems to be recuperating and wants to develop the economy, is secretly accumulating strength.

For example, in the secret place in Schulte City, sharp iron weapons are being forged day and night.

In the territory of Ston, the cavalry army is being secretly trained and expanded.Other countries will not know that because of the appearance of the horseshoe, there will be revolutionary changes in the strength and number of cavalry.

Commerce and trade that had been suspended for a while during the war resumed circulation.

Schulte City once again restored the prosperity of people coming and going, and the renovation and reconstruction of buildings in the city continued vigorously.

The merchants were pleasantly surprised to find that after the reopening of trade, there was an additional specialty in Schulte City.

The Schulte Chamber of Commerce sells a very strong and exciting spirit, with such a strong aroma that no other wine has hitherto been comparable to it.

Because of its uniqueness, although this spirit is very expensive, it still attracts people to flock to it.

All of a sudden, a large amount of gold coins flowed into the chamber of commerce in Schulte City like flowing water.

At this time, a news came out from Schulte City, and soon spread throughout Portoyas.

His Highness the Young Priest Mia, who is also the future High Priest, issued an edict.

All the people of Podoyas, who are willing to dedicate themselves to Sepul, can come to the Sea God Temple in Schulte City to participate in the assessment.

Those who pass the assessment can enter the Sea God Temple and be given the title of priest by the young priest.

With the edict, the whole Portoyas was in a commotion.

Although there are Sea God Temples in all major cities of Portoyas, everyone knows that the only supreme temple that is stared at by Sea God and protected by Sea God is the main temple under the command of the High Priest in the royal city.

However, the royal city fell, the high priest was dead, and most of the priests in the main temple were also killed, and the rest had betrayed their faith.

In other words, there are not many serving people around the current young priest and the future high priest.

If he successfully passes the assessment now and serves by Shaoji's side, he will definitely become a member of the main temple after the king's city is recovered in the future.

What's more, this young priest once caused miracles and was favored by Sepul, which has long been known to the whole world.

With such an opportunity now, who would let go of the opportunity to follow under the command of the god-favored person?

So, as soon as the edict came out, countless people flocked to the Sea God Temple in Schulte City.

Including those priests in other cities who were originally the Temple of the Sea God, they were also ready to move, and rushed to Schulte City in chariots and horses one after another.

Many of them felt that since they were the priests of the Sea God, they naturally had innate advantages.

They will definitely pass this test easily.

The priests with this idea came to Schulte City with confidence.

In the Sea God Temple, they wore exquisite and gorgeous robes and held golden scepters, each of them was noble and extraordinary.

Under the leadership of the temple knights, they walked through the hall covered with white jade with calm steps and graceful postures.

The sunlight from the multicolored glazed tiles at the top of the hall shone on their neatly combed long hair, refracting the gem ornaments on their hair with a beautiful luster.

Then, they passed through the main hall and were taken to a wide training ground.

A young general with an ordinary face and only a pair of extremely bright blue eyes stood there.

His gaze swept across the priests in gorgeous robes and long hair flying in front of him.

Under the doubtful eyes of the priests, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the vast training ground ahead.

"You first have to pass the most basic physical strength test. Everyone runs [-] meters. Those who succeed stay and those who fail leave."

Antiste said that his face looked extremely solemn, and no one noticed the joy hidden in the depths of his eyes watching the show.

He stretched out his hand again, pointing to a large or small stone next to him, and said, "If you are confident, you can run with a heavy load. Depending on the amount of weight you carry, you will get different points."

A group of noble and elegant priests: "???"

Everyone's faces were dumbfounded.
