Little Priest's Cat Diary

30 in the imperial calendar.

In the spring of that year, Feidas, an island country in the south, was subjugated, and [-] surrendered soldiers were escorted to the capital of Portoyas, where they were all reduced to slavery.

In the summer of that year, nearly a thousand soldiers from the non-Dasi Kingdom were tortured and conspired to resist, but they were informed of the incident before they had time to launch an incident, and they were immediately suppressed by General Faer's army.

The tyrant Sardis ordered to drive the [-] surrendered soldiers from the non-Dath kingdom to the valley outside the city.

In just one night, 8 people were all alive and killed at the bottom of the valley, and no one survived.

This inhuman massacre horrified people across the continent.

But because everyone was afraid of Sardis, they were all silent and did not dare to say a word.

But people's dissatisfaction and hatred for this cruel and unkind tyrant is getting deeper and deeper in their hearts.

That resentment is like magma buried deep in the earth.

Although the ground is quiet and can't be seen for the time being, the hot magma deep in the rock is constantly boiling, tumbling, ready to move.

Only one day when the limit is reached, the earth will be torn apart, violently gushing out from the ground——

…………

………………

A big fire burned all night.

The crimson light of the fire made the night sky red all night until dawn broke.

After the fire, not a single blade of grass grew.

The valley has been filled.

In this purgatory night, countless young lives were buried under the soil without any trace.

The summer solstice is the hottest time.

The scorching sun was in the sky, mercilessly exposing the earth.

It was obviously extremely hot, but the boy in the courtyard felt chills all over his body.

Mia sat on the stone steps of the gazebo in the courtyard. The stone slab was scalded by the sun. The hot sun penetrated his transparent body and bathed his whole body in it, but he couldn't feel the slightest warmth.

Although his eyes seemed to be staring blankly at the front, his eyes were not focused at all.

His eyes seemed to see through the scenery in front of him to a distant place-maybe it wasn't even this world, but another world.

I don't know if it was because the sun was so bright that his pupils were almost completely transparent, and his eyes were very empty.

He just sat here in a trance.

Time passed little by little, and the sun overhead sank little by little.

When the sun fell halfway to the horizon, the sunlight had turned into a fiery red hue, and the Huoshao cloud on the horizon was like a flame burning at the junction of the sky and the earth.

The fiery red light reflected on the boy's face, waking up the boy who had been in a daze all day.

Because the afterglow of the setting sun in front of him was very similar to the flames that illuminated the entire night he saw last night.

The former is beautiful and spectacular.

But the grandeur of the latter bloomed cruelly at the cost of 8 young lives.

Such a flimsy number.

Such a heavy and tragic figure.

If before this, there is still time...if there is any possibility to change...

So from now on, the future has come to an end.

This massacre will be remembered by everyone and by history.

And the future of the tyrant Sardis is already doomed.

——Why do you think that you can disobey me? ——

【Why do you think you can order me? 】

Different worlds, but the same person after all.

But this time, it made him feel even more powerless.

He knew it was impossible, but he couldn't stop it.

Mia lowered her head and looked at her hands.

His transparent hands were pierced by the fiery red sunset.

This world...is not his world, and there is no trace of his existence in this world.

Therefore, he who does not exist in this world cannot change the trajectory of this world.

And in less than a month, it is even more impossible to change Sardis in this world.

He just thought about it, the Sardis of this world is also Sardis.

But he forgot.

The Sardis of this world is different from the boy who grew up with him.

Sardis here is not only a mature man, but also an emperor who has looked down on the world for a long time, a tyrant who is used to killing and regards human life as grass.

What this Sardis experienced and encountered was different from Sardis.

He had thought he could do something.

He treats the Sardis of this world the way he treats Sardis.

But the tragic scene last night had completely woken him up.

It's because he's too self righteous.

That's too late.

It was too late.

Perhaps it started from the moment when the 'Mia' of this world died at the bottom of the sea, perhaps from the day when the boy's eyes were forcefully gouged out, or from the moment when the young man killed his father and mother with his own hands——

It was too late a long time ago.

Miya clenched her hands tightly.

This is a doomed world.

What he felt uncomfortable was not what Sardis said to him.

Rather, he finally understood that in this world, he could only watch Sardis go towards self-destruction.

——It’s the powerlessness that he knows but can’t do anything about.

The boy lowered his head.

The sun had completely set and the sky was getting dark.

The night wind picked up.

The boy's forehead rested on his knees, maybe it was because of the cold night wind, his shoulders shrank slightly.

The wind swept across this quiet courtyard, and the green lotus leaves in the pool swayed slightly in the night wind, and the night dew rolled down from the green leaves, leaving small water marks on the water surface.

Then, it quickly returned to calm.

Under the stone pavilion beside the pool, the boy sat quietly in the night with his head down.

……

………………

Before I knew it, it was late at night.

A round of crescent moon hangs high above the night, sprinkled the deserted brilliance on the earth.

It was a huge bedroom, but it was empty and extremely cold.

One bedroom, carved with jade railings and gold decorations on the walls, is extremely luxurious.

The jade bed is covered with a light and soft velvet mattress.

The emperor lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes under the moonlight and sat up.

It was too quiet in the room, which made him uncomfortable.

But in less than a month, he has gotten used to the company of young people.

He who likes silence has unknowingly gotten used to the boy's voice ringing in his ears from time to time, and he is used to turning his head so that he can see the boy's transparent figure.

I am used to falling asleep with the boy's company, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the boy's childish sleeping face.

I got more used to it, and saw my own shadow reflected in the boy's eyes that were like light blue transparent gems.

Sardis pressed his forehead with one hand, his messy blond hair was scattered in front of his eyes.

He lowered his eyes, but his light-colored eyelashes cast deep shadows on his dark green eyes.

There seemed to be some incomprehensible emotion surging in his eyes, which made his eyes darker and darker.

He pressed his head like this and sat quietly for a long time.

The wind blew in from the window, shaking the blond hair hanging in front of his eyes a few times.

Even the hair shadow that fell into his pupils flickered slightly.

Putting down his left hand, Sardis raised his head and looked around.

As far as he could see, in the empty bedroom, there was no familiar transparent figure.

After returning to the palace from that mountain forest valley, he never saw the boy again.

Until late at night, the boy still didn't come back.

Now, it's the middle of the night, and soon dawn will come.

Although he went to bed early and wanted to rest, he has not fallen asleep until now.

Maybe it's because there is no boy by his side, or maybe it's because he doesn't want to fall asleep... because when he sleeps, he will dream.

Sardis got out of bed.

Soon, there was no one in the bedroom, leaving only the veil on the floor-to-ceiling windows fluttering gently in the night wind.

…………

Along the empty corridor, Sardis walked to the courtyard behind the bedroom.

In fact, he rarely came to this courtyard on weekdays. He just heard from the boy that he appeared in the courtyard, so he came here.

The sound of running water from the fountain in the courtyard came from the quiet night, and he saw the boy sitting on the steps of the stone pavilion.

The boy lowered his head and buried his face in his knees.

The already thin shoulders shrunk slightly as if afraid of the cold, making them look even more slender.

Light blonde hair was scattered on her knees.

The silver-white moonlight shines through the transparent figure of the young man, inexplicably making people feel that the young man will melt into the moonlight in the next second.

When Sardis walked up to the boy, the boy still didn't look up, he seemed to have fallen asleep.

"You think you can pretend to sleep forever?"

The man's low voice sounded in the night.

It's just that the boy still buried his face in his knees, motionless and without any reaction.

Sardis leaned forward, his hand outstretched toward Mia's head.

Then, his fingertips pierced through the boy's hair as if piercing the air.

He still can't touch it.

The man's eyes darkened for a moment, and then turned cold little by little.

"why?"

he asks,

"My king's order, everyone will obey, why can't you?"

The boy who had been buried in his head finally made a movement.

Mia shook her head lightly.

"No."

The young man's hoarse voice came up muffled.

"why?"

The man's voice was calm.

He looked down at the boy even more calmly.

Calm to the point of being scary.

Mia shook his head again, he had already raised his head, raised his face, and looked at Sardis looking down at him.

"you can not……"

"Because 'This kind of cruel thing should never be something I can do'."

He repeated verbatim what the boy said to him last night in the murderous forest and valley.

Sardis stared at the boy.

"Is it right?"

he asks.

"Mia?"

Miya's breathing suddenly stopped.

He remembered the words he said in a panic last night.

I also remembered that last night, under the moonlight like now, and under the gaze looking down on him, Sardis called out his name.

He called him Mia.

But he has never said his name to Sardis of this world.

"Why do you think I can't do it?"

Sardis asked.

His tall figure completely enveloped the sitting boy.

A pitch-black shadow fell on the face of the boy who raised his head.

He raised his hand and pierced the corner of Mia's eye who was staring blankly at him with his fingertips.

Then, it slid down Mia's cheek.

It was like drawing a deep mark on Mia's face with her fingers.

[I will always be by your side. 】

【I will protect you. 】

【Sadie...】

These days, he has been dreaming non-stop.

But he hated that dream.

"Mia."

Sardis looked down at the boy sitting in front of him.

The boy's eyes are big, and his shadow is reflected in the transparent light blue.

It was clear that the moonlight was like water, and all fell on Sardis.

The golden hair refracted bright light, but the man's blue eyes only had endless dark abysses.

"Who is that person you're looking at?"
