In a blink of an eye, the day passed, and it was the dead of night again.

Above the night sky, a new moon hangs high in the night, bending like a string.

Half of the hook is hidden in the thick clouds, and only half of it is covered by misty mist.

Antiste stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky.

Unlike the bright and warm brilliance of the full moon, the new moon always gives people a cold and sharp feeling.It looms in the clouds of the night, half concealing its face.

It is mysterious at this moment, and it is because of the mystery that it is even more tempting.

The hazy twilight reveals a strange sense of temptation.

He remembered what his teacher had told him, that the divinity of Luna is just like the moon, unpredictable.

"It is said that the moonlight of the new moon has a magical power."

Staring at the string-like crescent moon in the sky, Antiste's voice sounded in the quiet room.

"When the moon is new, people often go mad in the moonlight."

[Moonlight makes people crazy. 】

"Because in the darkness, the moonlight of the new moon will sneak into people's hearts silently, and it will erode the gaps in people's hearts little by little... and then release the deepest desires and shadows in people's hearts."

Little by little, silently, it will release the weakness deep in the heart and the darkness that cannot be seen.

Ultimately, let that person's soul be consumed by their own darkness and desires.

With a snap, Antiste closed the floor-to-ceiling windows, and pulled up the veil on the windows to block the moonlight outside.

Without the hazy moonlight, the lit room became brighter.

"So, Mia, it's best not to stand under the moonlight on a new moon night, especially when you're alone."

After Antiste closed the window, he turned and walked towards Mia.

"Do you understand?"

When he didn't get an answer, he looked at Mia who was sitting on the bed in a daze, and raised his voice.

"Mia?"

Miya was sitting on the edge of the bed with her head down, in a daze, thinking of something, when she was called out suddenly, she subconsciously responded.

He raised his head and looked at Antiste blankly.

A pair of eyes are like aquamarine gemstones covered with mist, and against the shimmering light blonde hair, they become more clear and blue.

Antiste couldn't help feeling soft when he saw it.

He reached out and rubbed his little apprentice's soft hair.

"Did you hear what I just said?"

"Uh……"

Just now she was in a daze, and Mia didn't hear what Antiste said at all.

"I say, when the moon is new, stay in your room, close the windows, and don't be alone in the moonlight."

"Okay, teacher."

Even though she didn't know why she did this, the obedient baby Mia nodded obediently.

Antiste smiled, his heart became softer, and he touched Mia's head again.

"Why, did you quarrel with Sardis?"

Because he just returned to Wangcheng, he was very busy these two days.

But even so, he also noticed that it was extremely rare that these two little guys, who were almost inseparable in the past, actually did their own things these two days and didn't get together.

"……Um."

"Oh, this is not the first time."

Since childhood, although these two little guys have a close relationship, they will have troubles from time to time.

Well, most of the time it's the arrogant and awkward prince who loses his temper... well, although occasionally his own little apprentice loses his temper.

However, even if there is a quarrel, the two little guys will soon make up.

"There's nothing to worry about. It's the same as before. In less than two days, this matter will be over."

"........."

Miya lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Different.

This time is different from before.

The shadow of the black eyelashes fell on the bottom of his eyes, making the blue in his eyes darker.

He clenched his fingers tightly against the edge of the bed.

This time, he and Sadie...

…………

………………

In the afternoon, in the political affairs hall, generals and ministers gathered together.

At the top of the hall, Sardis sits high on it.

When the political affairs discussed today were over, he raised his eyes and looked at Margaret who was standing on the side.

As the only woman in the political hall, she stood alone in a corner.

But even if this woman stands quietly and doesn't say a word, she still has a huge sense of presence.

She stood alone in a corner, and there was no one within two meters of her.

Obviously, as a subordinate of Sardis, she is the only one who is isolated by everyone.

It wasn't because of her identity as a foreign race—after all, besides her, there were several other generals from the Ston people among the foreign races in the hall.

After these Stonites joined Sardis, they made a lot of military exploits and became Sardis's loyal subordinates, and their achievements also made Portoyas generals accept them.

However, everyone held a repulsive attitude towards this ruthless and murderous ex-daughter Shah.

This woman made no secret of her true nature. Apart from showing a docile gesture in front of His Highness Sardis, she looked at anyone else with a wolf-like glare.

Nobody wants to dance with wolves.

"Margaret."

While everyone was waiting for Sardis to get up and leave to end the meeting, they suddenly heard Sardis sitting above call out this unfamiliar name.

The female general in black light leather armor took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground on one knee, and bowed her head humbly.

"From today, you will be responsible for the establishment of a new supervisory office."

Sardis looked down at the kneeling Margarita and said,

"Report to me directly if you observe the situation."

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

Public Prosecutor's Office.

As the name suggests, we all know what its purpose is.

And its person in charge is a mad dog who only recognizes its master.

Thinking that from now on, there will be a pair of fierce eyes staring at his every move anytime and anywhere, and everyone immediately shudders.

Someone couldn't help but look up, wanting to say something, but when his eyes met the crown prince who was looking down at him from above, his heart trembled.

He lowered his head in trepidation, not daring to look at the crown prince again.

"It's my decision."

The deep voice of the crown prince sounded in the hall.

Sitting on the throne, Sardis is powerful and aggressive.

He just sat there, and there was an invisible oppressive atmosphere that enveloped the hall, making people dare not look at him closely.

Everyone lowered their heads.

When Portoyas was about to perish, he forced back the invading aliens, preventing the sea people from going north.

Immediately afterwards, he swept across the Ston prairie and occupied the King City of Ston, making the Ston Kingdom exist in name only.

This time, he led his troops to the south and drove straight to the king's city. In just ten days, he defeated the sea people's army one after another. He surrendered under his command without hesitation.

One victory after another, one brilliant result after another, pushed the prestige of Sardis to its peak in Portoyas.

His invincible bravery, his wisdom in controlling the situation, and his miraculous deeds have been extolled by countless bards.

Today, he can almost be said to be among the topmost people in the continent.

What is most admirable and amazing is that the crown prince is only twenty years old.

Today, the young Crown Prince Portoyas is no less prestigious than his father, King David, and even has a tendency to overwhelm him.

The people of Portoyas are all convinced and in awe of him.

What's more, the power of those aristocrats who are the only ones who think highly of themselves and dare to protest against Sardis has long been uprooted.

Now in the hall are all his loyal or fanatical followers.

Therefore, no one would raise objections to Sardis's order, even if he felt faintly dissatisfied in his heart.

...no one dared to raise an objection.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone lowered their heads.

Because he lowered his head, he couldn't see the look in their eyes at the moment.

And when everyone lowered their heads, only one gaze looked straight at Sardis from the side room of the hall.

In the room on the side of the hall, Mia stared at the crown prince who had shown a domineering attitude on the throne, her eyes flickering.

Victory and glory followed.

Let this proud person become even more proud and conceited.

When Sardis himself could not feel it, he had gradually become assertive.

He began to think that what he was doing was the right thing to do.

He's getting used to having everyone obey his orders.

Just like at that time, Sardis said that the wedding ceremony would be held in the royal city, but he never asked for Mia's opinion, but made his own decision.

Miya's gaze sank.

If this continues...

The council had been dispersed, and everyone retreated one after another. Seeing Sardis leaving through the side door, Mia, who woke up from deep meditation, immediately chased after him.

The sound of pattering trot footsteps sounded in the corridor.

"Sadie."

The familiar voice from behind stopped Sardis, who was walking away quickly.

He lowered his eyes, the gleam in his eyes narrowed for a moment, and then he turned around.

Although he turned around, he still lowered his eyes and did not look at Mia's eyes.

Although he didn't look into Mia's eyes, his lowered eyes happened to see the sapphire earrings shaking gently under Mia's ears.

The swaying blue arc made his heart move slightly.

"Sadie, I think..."

"Why, don't call me Sardis this time?"

Sardis laughed.

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

But after he finished speaking, he immediately regretted it.

He didn't really want to mock Mia, he was just angry, angry that Mia called him by his full name during the quarrel last time, so he just said that in a fit of anger.

But at this moment of confrontation between the two, he couldn't hold back his face to apologize, so he could only keep a cold face and pursed his lips tightly.

Mia took a deep breath and said, "I have something to tell you."

"Is what you want to tell me the same as last time?"

Mia pursed her lower lip, and said, "Yes."

"Then it goes without saying."

Sardis said decisively.

"I do not want to hear."

After saying a word, he turned and left.

"Sadie, wait..."

Seeing that Sardis was about to leave, Mia subconsciously reached out, trying to grab Sardis' hand.

But his fingertips slid across the air and missed.

He failed to grab Sardis' hand.

Sardis walked too fast, before his outstretched hand could reach him, Sardis had already moved away from him.

Mia stood where she was, staring blankly at the familiar figure in front of her.

That figure was getting further and further away from him.

He looked at his grasping right hand, with a bit of bewilderment and bewilderment in his eyes.

The man could no longer listen to him.

What should he do to...

After a while, Mia closed her eyes.

His hands clenched slowly.

Fragments of pale golden hair fell on the corners of his eyes, and the hot breeze of the day passed by his closed eyes.

The drooping slender eyelashes fluttered slightly in the wind, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly.

Sadie, I don't have much time left.

…………

Sardis walked forward quickly, he walked extremely fast, and his black boots made a heavy sound when they stepped on the stone floor.

He didn't dare to stop, let alone turn around, and he didn't even dare to slow down.

Because he knows that as long as he slows down a little, he will stop, and as long as he stops, he will definitely not be able to help turning his head.

He didn't even dare to look at Mia's face just now.

When you see it, you will soften your heart.

If you see it, you will be reluctant.

But no.

He walked forward quickly, clenching his teeth and telling himself.

This time, he had to make Mia understand.

He did nothing wrong.

With battle after battle, victory after victory, his ambitions continued to grow.

When his sage teacher meaningfully put a map of all the countries on this continent in front of him one day, he looked at the map and instantly understood what he wanted.

He wanted more than just a Portoyas.

Even if one more country of Ston is added, it is far from enough for him.

The flame of desire in his heart was burning fiercely.

In order to achieve his goal, then, countless wars are destined to happen in the future.

The so-called war means blood and killing.

In order to win, no matter who it is, they will use all means to fight for it.

He is even more so.

If Mia couldn't even agree with or tolerate this incident, then in the future, they would definitely quarrel over the same incident again and again.

He doesn't want that.

So this time, he had to let Mia understand.

He was not wrong, it was Mia who was wrong.

He had to make Mia realize this!

He must let Mia accept him like that—accept all of him!

The heavy footsteps stopped abruptly, and Sardis stood still in the courtyard.

He raised his head and looked at the endless sky.

The sun was a bit dazzling, and the wind blowing over his cheeks was also very hot, which made him a little irritable.

Looking at the sky as blue and clear as Mia's eyes, Sardis took a deep breath, trying to calm down his restless mood.

This process may be a bit difficult, but it is necessary.

For his and Mia's future.

Maybe what he's saying and doing now... is really too much.

But it doesn't matter, Mia will forgive him.

Sardis told himself so.

Because it's been like this every time before.

Every time, every time, no matter how angry Mia was, she would forgive him in the end.

No matter what happened, Mia would come back to him.

So this time it will be the same, Mia will definitely understand him, and will continue to be by his side as before.

…………

Night fell again, and the city fell into a deep sleep.

In the dark night, the wind passes through the gaps in the floor-to-ceiling windows and lifts the veil that covers the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The hazy moonlight silently shone in from the little gap opened by the veil, and fell on the sleeping person on the bed.

Mia lying on the bed slowly opened her eyes in the moonlight.

He raised his hand and looked at his own.

Under the moonlight, his hands were so white that they were almost transparent, and traces of blue blood vessels on his wrists could be vaguely seen.

The abnormally fair skin made his slender wrists look extremely fragile.

"My time...is running out."

In this world, he should have died young.

Therefore, in the future, it is doomed that he should not and will not exist on this continent.
