Little Priest's Cat Diary

Nadia, who just took a sip of water over there, spewed out all the water.

Mia, whose hand was being held here, was already in a daze.

Sardis' move was too unexpected, and his stunned brain had no time to react.

"No... I just came here, and I haven't fought a battle yet, and you suddenly said something about a wedding..."

After saying a few words in a daze, Mia's bewildered mind finally recovered a little bit of thinking ability.

"Wait, why must it be on the altar of Sepul Tower?"

Sardis raised an eyebrow.

"If you don't like it there, change to a place you like."

He said, "Anyway, I can be anywhere."

Mia: "..."

No.

The point is not a question of where you like.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he said, "When I say you, there must be a limit to joking, and suddenly you say this at a time like this..."

Sardis looked up at him.

"Suddenly?"

He smiled.

"I told you before I left Schulte City, if I want to succeed to the throne, I will do so after taking back the King City."

"The king's wedding must also be held in the king's city."

He stared at Mia deeply.

"You said at the time, okay, and you also said that I will definitely be able to regain the king city soon."

Mia: "..."

It seemed, as if, probably... he had actually said such a thing.

But at that time, he thought that Sardis was expressing his determination to regain the king's city, and of course he wanted to encourage Sardis, so he said yes.

——He thought the key point was the first sentence, but for Sardis, the key point was actually the latter sentence?

and many more.

according to someone's character.

Could that sentence be a veiled marriage proposal?

……

After all, according to someone's more and more routines and self-confidence over the past year, the possibility of this is really high!

Mia, who suddenly came to her senses, was about to explain, when suddenly there was a creak next to her.

That was the sound of Nadia bumping the chair and rubbing against the ground when she stood up involuntarily in shock.

Miya's eyes widened suddenly.

Oops!

I was shocked by Sardis's words just now, and even forgot that there was someone beside me.

So all the conversation between him and Sardis was overheard?

"So, Mia, where do you want the wedding ceremony to be in the royal city..."

"Sardis."

Mia opened her mouth abruptly, interrupting Sardis' words.

"If you make such a joke again, I will be angry."

He pursed his lips and stared at Sardis.

Sardis looked at Mia.

He didn't continue talking, but just took the hand holding Miya's hand back to his body.

Bowing his head, fine strands of golden hair fell before his drooping eyelashes.

He didn't say anything, just kissed the fingers of the hand that he brought to his eyes lightly.

When his slender eyelashes drooped down, the originally sharp eyes instantly softened.

When he kissed Mia's finger, there was a deep love and compassion that almost bystanders could feel.

At the same time when his lips touched Mia's finger, he raised his lips slightly and stared at Mia's eyes. There was an indescribable allure, and there was almost oozing tenderness in his eyes.

Originally pursing her lips and trying to pretend to be angry, Miya's face suddenly turned red.

I still remember that he was a little panicked when there were two people present next to him, and subconsciously wanted to pull his hand out.

But Sardis clenched his hand so tightly that he couldn't pull it out.

Even though he was used to all kinds of more intimate behaviors when the two of them got along in private, it was the first time he had done such an ambiguous behavior in front of others, and Mia felt anxious and flustered.

The place where the fingers were kissed was very hot, and the scorching heat seemed to spread to his face, making his cheeks burn.

At this time, Mia vaguely understood Sardis' plan to take this opportunity to make her love affair public, and she was flustered and confused for a while, and she didn't know what to do.

He looked at Sardis at a loss, who was still staring at him with burning eyes, opened his mouth, but was a little dazed, not knowing what to say.

Even if Nadia is a rough guy, she feels that the atmosphere at the moment seems not right.

Although he has always known that Mia occupies an extremely important position in Sardis's heart, he also knows that there is a deep bond and relationship between the two.

However, as a straight man of steel, he even gave Mia a "special small cloth painting" when he was an adult, and he never thought about it at all.

"Your Highness, what Xiao Shaoji said is right, even if you are joking, you have to be appropriate."

Nadia took it for granted that Sardis was just joking with Mia as usual.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he thought that Sardis' joke was too much and made Mia angry, so he naturally spoke up, wanting to ease the atmosphere between the two.

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Sardis.

"At a time like this, you..."

In the middle of speaking, Nadia's voice suddenly cut off in half.

The moment he looked up at Sardis, his heart beat suddenly for some reason.

He saw Sardis, who was still holding Mia's hand tightly, staring at Mia without blinking.

The eye protruding from the pitch-black mask did not know whether it was due to the reflection of the metallic luster, but there was a gloomy luster like the deepest night flashing in the depth of the pupil.

The gaze he stared at Mia seemed to be extremely gentle, but in the depths of his eyes that had become more and more sharp this year, there was a hint of toughness that was inevitable.

That look inexplicably made his heart palpitate for a moment.

that look...

That undisguised look of longing...

It's just like...

Just when Nadia was stunned, a hand suddenly stretched out from the slanted ground, and put it on Sardis's hand that was holding Mia tightly.

Antiste, who walked over at some unknown time, put a hand on the back of Sardis's.

He leaned slightly, looking down at Sardis.

He said: "His Royal Highness, pressing every step of the way will only be annoying."

Sardis raised his eyes, and his eyes collided with Antiste's.

No one knows what the two exchanged glances.

After a while, Sardis let go of his hand.

While letting go, he snapped open Antiste's hand that was pressing on the back of his hand.

Then he stood up.

"In short, take back the royal city first."

After Sardis finished speaking, he walked out.

As soon as he left, the tense and strange atmosphere in the camp suddenly eased.

Mia also breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up and said, "The day after tomorrow will be a big battle. I'm going to inspect the battle priests now."

After speaking, he also stepped out of the tent.

Antiste didn't say anything, and naturally walked out with Mia.

Only a straight man of steel was left alone in the tent with a dazed expression on his face.

and many more.

What the hell happened here just now?

Why does he feel something is wrong? ? ?

…………

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

It's already late at night.

The huge military camp has become quiet, and most of the soldiers have fallen asleep.

The bonfire in the camp was burning, and the crimson fire illuminated the night.

On one side of the camp, by a small lake.

The starlight is reflected in the lake water, making the lake surface glow with starlight.

Mia sat by the lake, seemingly in a daze.

He put his hands behind his back and looked up at the endless starry sky.

The night sky is full of stars.

The falling starlight is dotted in his pale golden hair, and also dotted in the depths of his open blue eyes.

The night was very quiet, only the rustling of the night wind passing over the grass, and the occasional chirping of insects in the grass could be heard.

Mia was looking at the starry sky in a daze, when someone came from behind him and sat down beside him.

Suddenly it went dark.

A cloak was thrown off, covering his entire head.

There was darkness in front of his eyes, and he could only hear the familiar voice that was habitually ironic ringing in his ears.

"We're going to fight the next day. If you catch a cold at this time, did you come all the way here to help the sea people and hold us back?"

When Mia freed her head from the cloak, Antiste, who threw the cloak to him, had already sat down beside him.

Mia watched her teacher's long legs stretched out in front of her, surpassing her by a length.

He was suddenly depressed.

"Don't think about it."

Seeing Mia's depressed mind at a glance, Antiste raised his hand and touched Mia's head with a smile.

He smiled and said: "Because it's useless to think about it, and it's impossible to grow taller than me."

Mia: "..."

"Speaking of which, you have eaten a lot since you were young, why don't you grow tall or fat?"

Antiste looked at his disciple's body, which seemed slender no matter what it looked like among a group of fighters.

A baby face with a little childishness.

Fluffy and light golden hair scattered around the cheeks.

The long eyelashes flicker like light velvet.

The big blue eyes are like cats.

And those soft and slightly round cheeks, no matter how cute they look.

Antiste couldn't help stretching out his hand while watching, and pinched Mia's cheek.

The soft touch of the fingertips is really unstoppable.

While pinching, he murmured to himself: "With such a cute appearance, it's no wonder that he was missed by a big beast..."

As soon as Antiste said this, Mia's face froze for a moment.

After a while, he rubbed his face and whispered, "Teacher, you've already seen it, right?"

Antiste let out a chuckle.

"How can you not see it? That guy's mind is clearly revealed, and anyone with eyes can see it."

"Nadia didn't see it."

Mia retorted unconvinced.

Antiste: "He's blind."

Mia: "..."

"Never mind that blind guy."

Seeing that Mia had been holding the cloak that had been pulled from her head, Antiste reached out and pulled the cloak out of Mia's arms.

Raise your hand.

The cloak flew up high, and then gently fell on Miya's body.

While fastening the buttons of the cloak, Antiste asked, "What do you think?"

Miya shook her head in confusion.

"You like him too?"

Mia seemed about to shake her head, but after thinking about it, she nodded instead.

"like."

He said, "I like Sardis, but . . . not his kind of liking, I'm afraid."

Antiste looked at him and asked, "Is there a difference?"

"Ah."

Mia said, "I think so."

He is now sitting with his knees bent, his hands clasped on his lap.

Even so, there was a trace of uncertain confusion in his eyes.

"I like him, and he likes me..."

Having said that, Mia seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned to look at Antiste in surprise.

"Wait, teacher, aren't you going to teach me a lesson?"

Antiste raised an eyebrow.

"Why should I teach you?"

"because……"

"Because you are both men? Because you and he are the future king and high priest?"

He smiled.

"None of those things matter."

His tone was understatement.

"Whether I am Itit or Antiste, I have said that you can do whatever you want."

"So, Mia, other things are fine. There is only one reason for me to stop you."

"That is, you don't like him."

Antiste stretched out his hand, and his slender fingers penetrated into the soft pale golden hair.

His hand stroked Mia's temples gently as usual.

"Even if he is Sardis, the future king, if you don't like it, I won't let him take a step closer to you."

He says,

"So, there is nothing to worry about, everything will follow your heart."

Mia stared blankly at Antiste for a while.

He laughed.

He tilted his head, and hummed with a smile.

Then, he tilted his body and leaned directly on Antiste's body.

"Sure enough, it's what the teacher would say."

Wrapped in a cloak, Mia tilted her body, leaning against Antiste habitually.

Over the years, he was too tired many times during archery practice, and when he sat on the ground to rest, he leaned directly on the teacher.

Although the teacher would always mock him unceremoniously, he always raised his hand and hugged him to make him more comfortable.

Just like now, Antiste's raised left hand habitually embraced him.

"teacher."

Opening her eyes and looking at the sparkling lake in front of her, Mia said softly,

"I do not know what to say."

"I now...actually don't know how to face Sardis' feelings."

"Yes, Sardis is very important to me, very important, I care about him, and I have been watching him, even, I can protect him at all costs."

"Maybe that's why he thinks I like him too."

"But as I said just now, my liking for him is actually different from his liking for me."

"If you have to say it, my liking for him is like my liking for you, teacher, not that kind of..."

Mia rubbed her temples, he didn't know how to describe it for a moment.

And at this moment, Antiste asked suddenly.

"I think he is very skilled at kissing your hand today, so he has kissed you before?"

Not answered.

But Antiste got the answer when he saw the red marks on the tips of his little disciple's ears that stood up from the light blonde hair.

His lips pursed slightly.

In the night, the shadow of his forehead fell on his eye sockets, making it difficult to see the expression in his eyes.

"Same as me...is it?"

Antiste reached out, pinched Mia's chin, and lifted his face.

Perhaps it was because of the darkness that his eyes shone with a faint blue light.

He lowered his head, staring into the blue eyes of the same color as himself.

"teacher?"

"Didn't you just say that you like him the same as you like me?"

"That is……"

Before she finished speaking, Mia's pupils shrank violently.

Antiste bowed his head.

The starry sky shone from behind him.

In the backlight, the expression on his face could not be seen clearly at all.

And his lips were about to fall in the next second.
