Little Priest's Cat Diary

After a day of hustle and bustle, in comparison, the royal city at night seemed much quieter.

The citizens of Wangcheng who have lived in fear for a year can finally sleep peacefully and have a comfortable dream.

There is a full moon in the night sky, the moonlight is warm and bright, covering the earth, as if protecting people's sleep.

Under the darkness of night, the river still flows quietly.

In the center of the royal city, the golden palace is bathed in starlight, standing majestically on the ground.

On the high tower in front of the palace, the black flag that stood for a year had long been torn off, and the sea blue flag appeared on it again, flying high in the night sky.

In the depths of the royal city, in the small administrative office, people came and went in and out all afternoon, from noon to midnight.

After all, Wangcheng has just been taken back, and a bunch of affairs have to be decided by its owner.

The last person had left not long ago, and a certain crown prince who had finally arranged everything was standing by the window, stretching his arms.

He held his head high and squinted his eyes, like a big lion stretching lazily.

As soon as Sardis turned his head, a smile appeared in his eyes.

Helping Sardis with various affairs, Mia, who was also busy all afternoon, leaned on the wooden chair, tilted her head, and dozed off one after another.

The moonlight fell on his milky cheeks through the skylight, and the drooping eyelashes were obviously tired.

The fluffy pale golden hair fluttered and fluttered as he swayed up and down, the pale pink lips were slightly parted, and the ignorant expression made the baby face look more childish.

At this moment, this kind of cute appearance that makes people feel soft in the heart is completely different from the appearance of God's agent who summons dolphins during the day and is surrounded by the cheers of the people.

Sardis walked over, leaned over, pressed one hand on the armrest of the chair, lowered his head and brought his face to the other's ear.

"Mia...Mia."

A soft cry in the ear woke Mia up from her doze.

He rubbed his eyes and looked up, his azure blue pupils were still somewhat hazy and in a trance.

"Sadie..."

He yawned.

"Is everything arranged?"

Sardis hummed, and rubbed Mia's head.

"It's all arranged temporarily, but I have to sort things out again. If you are tired, go back and rest first."

"Um……"

Mia nodded.

Still very sleepy, he tried his best to turn his mind, and he finally remembered the words he wanted to say to Sardis a long time ago, because people had been coming and going all afternoon, and he hadn't said them until now.

Now that there is no one else in the room, it should be possible to speak.

He shook his head vigorously to wake himself up a bit, then raised his eyes and looked at Sardis.

"What are you going to do about that female Shah?"

After the city gate is opened, the most important thing is to enter the city first to appease the people and regain control of the royal city.

As for the female Shah and her subordinates, they should be controlled first and put aside for the time being.

After hearing Mia's question, Sardis hummed lightly, but did not answer immediately.

"I don't want you to promise her."

Why don't you like her.

Mia herself couldn't tell.

It's just a feeling, and I don't know why.

On the first day back to the royal city, the first time he saw the female Shah on the city wall from a distance, his heart beat violently for no reason, like a sharp needle.

At that time, he was in a trance for a moment.

Something seemed to appear in his mind, but when he came back to his senses, he couldn't remember what he saw in a trance, like a short dream, and the dream was covered by thick fog, vaguely It's blurry and I can't see anything clearly.

He just instinctively felt that he didn't like that female Shah.

Mia raised her head and said seriously to Sardis: "I don't like her."

Sardis raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips were raised high.

His upper body, which had already been raised, bent down again. This time, he got closer to Mia's face, his forehead almost touching Mia's.

He smiled and said, "Why? She is going to dedicate herself to me, you are jealous."

Mia pursed her lower lip, thought for a while, and said, "Yes."

His blue eyes fixed on the familiar handsome face in front of him.

His eyes met Sardis without blinking.

"I'm jealous, I don't like you approaching her."

He said seriously,

"Sadie, don't come near her, will you?"

Mia's sudden honesty stunned Sardis for a moment. He and Mia looked at each other for a while, and then heaved a long and helpless sigh.

"Although I know you're lying, I'm still hopelessly happy when the lie comes out of your mouth."

If Mia was really the kind of selfish person who made unreasonable troubles and wanted to drive people away because she was jealous, she would probably be happier.

After Sardis sighed, he rubbed Mia's forehead affectionately.

He smiled at Mia, helplessly, with a hint of pampering.

"Why, you don't like her so much? You don't even hesitate to tell such a lie and want to drive her away?"

he asks,

"If it's because she's a foreign race... I remember that in Schulte City, you didn't say anything to those Ston people who served under my command."

"She's different."

Mia shook her head.

"Sadi, accepting aliens is the heart of a king, and this is not a bad thing."

"But she can't, and the Sea Peoples can't."

He frowned.

"They like blood and killing, just like a group of bloodless sharks, wantonly devouring the flesh and blood of others to strengthen themselves."

"They are like a double-edged sword. If they are not careful, they will bite back."

"and also……"

He fixed his eyes on Sardis and said, "Don't forget, Sardi, they slaughtered our city, and they slaughtered countless of our people."

These words made Sardis stare intently.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he heard footsteps.

The blue-eyed general with an ordinary face came in from the outside. He looked at the two people who were very close and raised his eyebrows.

"It's late."

Antiste said, "Mia, I will escort you back to rest."

The conversation was interrupted, and Sardis did not continue.

"I know everything you said."

He rubbed Mia's head and said softly, "Go back and rest first."

Seeing what Sardis said, a trace of relief appeared in Mia's eyes, and the corners of his lips were raised, and he smiled at Sardis.

Then, he left here accompanied by Antiste.

Sardis was the only one left in the political affairs room. He was sitting behind the desk, flipping through the documents on the desk, and sorting out the ones that had been processed to one side.

While sorting out the documents, he lowered his eyes, his face showed a thoughtful look, as if he was thinking about what Mia said to him just now.

At this moment, there were footsteps coming from outside again, much bolder than Antiste's footsteps before.

As soon as Sardis looked up, he saw Nadia stepping in from the door.

"What happened over there?"

Nadia is in charge of guarding the female Shah and the generals of the sea people.

Now that he ran over, there must be something wrong there.

"The female Shah said she wanted to see you alone."

Nadia clicked his tongue, "I don't know what kind of idea I'm trying to ask for a private meeting at this time."

He habitually rubbed the scar on his chin with his fingers, while showing Sardis a comprehensible smile that any man could understand.

Sardis glanced at him lightly.

Nadia's chest was choked by that look, and she immediately restrained her smile honestly and coughed twice.

"Well, cough, our highness the crown prince keeps himself clean, so it is naturally impossible for him to be tempted so easily."

He coughed again.

"Hey, well, I'll ask her to come in."

Nadia turned and walked away, as if she was burning her feet in this room.

A few minutes later, the female Shah walked in.

The black armor that was close to her body has been removed, except for a simple piece of clothing, her body is empty, there are nothing like wrist guards, accessories, finger cots, and even the simplest shoes with rope straps.

In this way, she can see her whole body at a glance, making sure she can't hide anything on her body.

In one day, from the king of the clan to a prisoner, very few people can bear this kind of gap.

No matter how you try to hide it, there will still be a look of embarrassment or embarrassment.

However, the face of this female Shah looked extremely calm, and there was no sign of resignation in her eyes.

When she came to Sardis, she glanced at him, then bent down and knelt at his feet.

She looked up at Sardis with an extremely gentle expression.

There was no ferocity or unwillingness in her eyes, only surrender.

Like a tamed brown wolf, it retracted its fangs and claws, and fell obediently at the feet of its conqueror.

Sardis looked down at the female Shah who was kneeling at his feet docilely like a pet, and didn't speak, as if he was meditating on something.

The female Shah also paid attention to the way Sardis looked at her.

Although her appearance is ordinary, she is tall, with tight muscles and a proud figure. Her brown complexion has a different kind of sexiness.

Especially her status as the king of the sea nation will arouse men's great desire to conquer.

A woman like her brings not only physical pleasure, but also a strong psychological pleasure.

However, the prince in front of him, who was just in the prime of his youth, was never controlled by those emotional desires.

The eyes he looked at her were very indifferent and rational, as if he was weighing an item—whether it was valuable or useful.

If it is useless, it will be discarded without mercy.

The female Shah trembled slightly in her heart.

She had already experienced this man's bravery and combat prowess on the battlefield.

But at this moment, she realized that she may still have underestimated the young crown prince.

Strength in force is not the most terrifying thing.

This kind of person who is not tempted by external objects, is not swayed by desires, and is not swayed by emotions, and who is rational to the point of being cruel at any time, is the most terrifying.

The female Shah lowered her eyes, lowered her head, and knelt down at the feet of Sardis in a docile manner.

Sardis did not speak, nor did she make a sound.

After a long time, a voice sounded above her.

Sardis asked, "Why surrender?"

"I will definitely lose this battle."

She didn't say any high-sounding words, or words to flatter Sardis, and the female Shah's words were as calm as her expression.

"There is no need to persevere in a losing battle."

"Continuing to fight to the death will not only cause heavy casualties to my people, but also anger you, making me end up in a more unfavorable end."

Sardis's slender fingers gently stroked the sword hilt at his waist.

Then, he took a step back and sat on the stone seat behind him.

"The carnage you've done so far in Portoyas...do you think I'll accept you?"

"I will not deny what I have done, but that is already in the past. And my contribution can bring more benefits to your future than my death."

The female Shah raised her head.

Her eyes filled with deep ambition and desire met Sardis who was looking down at her.

A meaningful smile appeared on her face.

"There is no room for a lion in a narrow ditch."

"Your Highness Sardis, in a way, we are the same kind of people."

"I can see what is hidden in the depths of your eyes."

"To a man like you, a little Portoyas, even if you add a Stun, is nothing more than a narrow ravine. What you want, what your eyes see, is much more than that."

"Your journey is the vast and boundless land and sea."

"...Where the sun shines is where your iron cavalry steps."

The female Shah bowed her head deeply again.

"And this is the reason why I made up my mind to serve under your command."

Sardis didn't speak, he sat on the stone chair and looked at the female Shah kneeling in front of him indifferently.

There was no joy or anger on his face, nor his emotions at the moment.

"Let my clan become your subordinate, and from now on, our clan's iron-making skills and ship-building skills will belong to you."

The female Shah paused.

She suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Also, my family came across the sea and traveled all the way south along the coastline. It took more than ten years to draw the sea map of this ocean, and I will also dedicate it to you."

When he heard the previous sentence, Sardis didn't respond.

The latter sentence made his eyes move.

The importance of a fine chart is self-evident.

With a sea chart, as long as you have enough military strength, you can wipe out those fragmented small countries or independent forces in the sea area one by one, and bring the entire sea into your sphere of influence.

Let this sea belong to Portoyas.

However, after his eyes moved a little, he calmed down again.

Sardis mused.

The benefits, hidden dangers and negative impacts of accepting the sea people's participation in the service, etc., all passed through the bottom of his mind one by one.

Although the female Shah's words slightly increased the stakes on one side, the chips were not heavy enough to play a decisive role.

He still hasn't made a final decision.

"If that's all you want to say, I know, and I'll think about it carefully."

Sardis stood up while talking, intending to end the meeting.

However, just as he took two steps sideways, a voice from behind him made him stop.

"The one who has been by your side today is His Highness Shaoji, right?"

The female Shah looked at the back of Sardis who had stopped, her gaze flickered.

"That... is really a bright person, like a light."

She said with emotion.

"Although the light is eye-catching, but, Your Highness, I think you understand it in your heart."

"In this world, where there is day, there is night, and where there is light, there is darkness."

"Light and shadow are inseparable."

"On the glorious road you are walking, in addition to the light ahead, there must be shadows under your feet, and what is hidden in the shadows..."

Where there is light, there must be shadow.

In the shadows, there will always be blood, darkness, and things that cannot be exposed to light.

"I exist for those."

Sardis didn't look back.

However, he didn't walk away either.

He turned his back to the female Shah and asked, "What can you do?"

"I will remove all obstacles and stumbling blocks on your road to glory for you."

The female Shah replied in a low voice.

"Those things that can't be made public and everything under the shadows, I will solve them for you in my own way."

——Her way is blood and killing.

The room was silent for a moment, then Sardis smiled.

"Then, prove to me your role."

After leaving this sentence, he strode forward.

The long golden hair fluttered behind him, reflecting the lights, and it was extremely bright in the dark night.

And this brightness made the shadow under his feet darker.

The female Shah who was kneeling on the ground looked up.

Seeing the back of Sardis leaving, a deep smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

This kind of smile is inexplicably chilling.

A gloomy light flickered in the depths of her pupils, and there were many shadows.

The female Shah's eyes are like the inorganic, icy eyes of a shark in the abyss of the sea. Only when killing, when smelling the smell of blood, will they reveal cruel excitement.

She won.

As she thought, the Dauphin was unwilling to expose his hidden dark side in front of his light.

Be his dark enforcer.

This is the glimmer of life she found for herself.
