Little Priest's Cat Diary

……

When I opened my eyes, I saw a blurry sky.

Dyeing a layer of light red.

I don't know if it's the fire clouds burning at sunset, or the corners of the eyes stained red with blood.

The reef is cold, and the body lying on the reef is also cold.

The tide surged up and surrounded the body, actually bringing some warmth to the body.

The body no longer has any sensation, not even pain.

It was as if something was flowing from the depths of his body little by little, and together with the blood flowing from his chest, it flowed into the warm sea water that surrounded him.

Is that... 'death'?

pain.

Icy.

Fade away.

Then all fell silent in the dark.

As if he should have been angry, should have been entangled in hatred.

But none of these.

At the moment when he was about to 'die', his emotions were only confusion, sigh...and, regret.

Consciousness was a little hazy, dissipating with the sea breeze blowing across the face.

He closed his eyes slowly.

The field of vision is getting darker...

……

Someone is calling his name.

Angry and sad.

Calling loudly.

The darkness gradually enveloped him.

In the last glance, he saw the familiar pair of huge wings spread out to cover the sky and the sun.

He saw the beautiful figure descending from the sky.

He saw her arms reaching down eagerly, just like in the past, wanting to embrace him in her arms.

In a trance, he raised his hand, trying to grab the hand that was reaching out to him.

His lips moved slightly, trying to make a little sound in response to that sad call.

But his strength has already been exhausted with the passage of life.

'Death' came after all.

He failed to make the last sound.

His raised hand fell down.

In his last consciousness, he seemed to hear that cry of grief resounding like weeping blood resounded between heaven and earth.

…………

The sleeping boy opened his eyes suddenly, and stretched out his hand in the air unconsciously.

It seemed as if he could still see the pair of arms stretched out to him eagerly.

His chest throbbed like a hole had been torn.

Mia opened her eyes, staring blankly at the void, her blue pupils were covered with a layer of water mist, gathered together and seeped shallow water marks from the corners of his eyes.

...the voice calling out to him mournfully...

...the last cry of grief heard...

As if it was still ringing in my ears.

An inexplicable sadness swept over like a tide, submerging his whole body.

That is……

The hand stretched into the air was suddenly held tightly by a big hand.

The tactile sensation of her hands being held tightly woke Mia up from her trance.

Because of the faint light in the dark night and the mist covering his eyes, his vision was somewhat blurred.

In the darkness, someone bent down, and a huge black shadow enveloped him.

Long golden hair fell on his cheeks, a little cool.

The man who held his hand lowered his head, he felt something soft passing by the corner of his eyes in the darkness, licking away the shallow water marks in the corner of his eyes.

A slightly rough hand caressed his forehead, brushing aside the messy hair in front of his eyes.

Mia narrowed her eyes slightly.

What I saw in the dark was the familiar outline of that person, and the fingers placed on his head caressed his forehead, bringing a familiar touch.

Some itchy.

The warm feeling passed through the skin, making his palpitations slowly calm down.

The incomparable sense of heaviness that was firmly pressed in the bottom of my heart also gradually dissipated.

He blinked, his vision gradually got used to the darkness, and his vision gradually became clearer.

He saw clearly the face of Sardis, who was leaning over him and staring at him, and after looking at him for a while, he let out a soft breath.

Sardis stroked Mia's temples with his fingers again and again, and Sardis didn't rush to speak.

He was just moving gently and comfortingly, as if he was a teenager who had woken up from a nightmare.

The moment Mia opened his eyes, he immediately woke up keenly.

He saw the crescent moon that was originally hidden behind the thick clouds hanging above the night at some point, and he saw that there seemed to be a beam of moonlight falling on Mia through the skylight.

He saw Mia's outstretched hand in the dream, stretching into the air as if to grab the beam of moonlight.

A subconscious sense of urgency made him grab Mia's hand that was stretched towards the beam of moonlight.

【The moon god Davia wants to bring the Son of God back to the Kingdom of God. 】

The voice of the red-haired strange thief rang in his ears again, and Sardis held the hand he was holding tightly in his hand.

A frightening arc flashed across the bottom of his strange-colored eyes.

But when his eyes fell on the face of the young man below him, there was only a soft feeling of twitching fingers.

Mia narrowed her eyes slightly, covered the back of his hand with her hand, and rubbed her face against his palm with some attachment.

It looked very much like a kitten, softly rubbing against his hand.

The warm and soft touch from the palm seeped out of the bottom of my heart through the skin.

The boy's slightly squinted eyes are still a little moist, reflecting his shadow hazily, like the clearest azure crystal covered with mist, not only does not conceal its beauty at all, but makes it more exciting in the haze .

Even the coldest ice in the world would be melted by those eyes that looked over with a bit of confusion.

What's more, it's him who has long been robbed of his soul by those blue eyes.

Sardis looked at the person in his arms, his eyes seemed to have tiny stars.

His eyes are soft and bright at the moment, even the dark pupil is shimmering.

It was as if as long as the boy was still reflected in his eyes, his eyes would always have light.

He lowered his head again, and gently kissed the corners of Mia's moist eyes.

Mia opened her eyes and looked at him, and said softly, "Sadi, I had a very strange dream."

"In my dream, I was lying on the beach, my chest was bleeding continuously, as if I was about to..."

Before she had time to say the word 'death', Miya's lips were pressed by the pulp of her thumb.

The pads of Sardis' fingers had thick calluses, which were quite rough, and it was slightly tingling when pressed against the soft lips.

Mia, whose lips were pressed, was stunned for a moment, and seeing Sardis looking deeply at him, he laughed.

Holding Sardis' hand, skipping the word 'death', he continued.

"I seem to hear someone calling my name..."

"That voice is very sad... It seems that something very important has been lost... I listen to that voice, and I don't know why I feel very sad..."

Mia murmured in a low voice, her tone was very confused.

"I've always thought I was a very ordinary person."

In the original world, he was a very ordinary person.

Even if he was brought to that world, he always felt that he was just a cannon fodder who died early in the torrent of history.

It was only because his cannon fodder had a connection with the Son of Destiny that he was unluckily selected to complete the task of reforming the tyrant who went on the wrong path.

But after going through so many things, when he realized the buried past bit by bit, he vaguely felt...

"But I really don't seem to be an ordinary person."

His right hand was still tightly held by Sardis, and pressed against the bed.

Mia raised her other hand and stroked Sardis' face.

The bad-tempered boy had grown up a long time ago, and the originally beautiful outline became firm and sharp, faded from immaturity, and transformed into the depth and majesty that a grown man should have.

Although Sardis's appearance is still unmatched by ordinary people, it can be seen at a glance that he is a mature man.

A man who is already 25.

"Sadie, I'm your age."

The fingertips of the still immature boy lightly traced the outline of the man's face in front of him.

"But now I look much younger than you."

"You, the teacher, Faer and the others too, have actually discovered that a long time ago, but no one has ever reminded me..."

"After that, my appearance and body never changed again."

It was as if his body had been frozen in time in his adult year.

Time stopped passing on him.

In that world, only the gods can have an immortal face and eternal time.

Although Mia himself finds it incredible now, in fact, he has already faintly understood it in his heart.

How can a person who has an intersection with the Child of Destiny be an ordinary person?

The voice that sent him said it just happened to pick him.

However, fate has never been so-called just.

Lady Opelilla had said a word to him long ago.

She said, 'You are hope'.

From the very beginning, his fate was closely entangled with Portoyas and that world.

From the very beginning, it was destined that he, and only he, would come to this world.

No, it should be said to be returning to this world.

The boy murmured, "I think, maybe...maybe...I really am..."

"Mia."

He was suddenly interrupted halfway through his speech.

A deep voice called his name, and rough but warm hands cupped his cheeks.

The man on top of him leaned over and lowered his head.

The fine blond hair hangs down before his eyes, reflecting golden fragments in his eyes.

Sardis's face was very close to him, the tip of his nose was almost touching his.

A light breath passed over his cheek.

"Mia, I also had a dream."

"Same as you, a very real dream, and a very strange dream."

The strange-colored eyes stared fixedly at the blue eyes, Sardis said.

"I was having the same dream until that...that thing happened."

When talking about 'that matter', Sardis' voice paused slightly.

Miya was taken aback, but quickly realized.

The incident that Sardis mentioned should refer to the incident that he was killed by the female Shah.

But he was suddenly curious, what did Sardis mean by the real and strange dream?

Sardis stared at Mia and said, "I dreamed that you never existed in the world I live in."

Mia's pupils shrank suddenly.

"I dreamed a long time ago, when you and I fell into the sea together when we were very young. You didn't wake up, but I woke up first."

"I wanted to save you, but in the end I couldn't catch you."

"At that time, I watched you fall into the bottom of the sea in a coma, and died just like that..."

"Later, I grew up alone."

"Without you protecting me, I was gouged out by Traya."

"Immediately afterwards, I was assassinated again, and an arrow shot through my chest."

"Countless times, I struggled to survive from death."

Mia opened her eyes wide, staring blankly at Sardis who was still talking softly.

His lips moved.

He wanted to say something, but couldn't make a sound.

At that moment, he didn't know what to say.

"I killed Treya."

"Opelila's throat was broken by me."

"In the end, I shot King Davies through the chest."

"I became the king of Portoyas, and later, the emperor. Everyone feared me and feared me. They said that I was a tyrant and that my life was unforgivable."

Sardis lowered his head, his face buried deep in Mia's neck.

Golden hair scattered on Mia's chest.

"That dream was too real, as if I was supposed to be that fate, as if that was the real me."

"Many times, when I wake up from a dream, I can't tell which world I am the real me."

"I seem to be gradually merging with me in that world..."

Sardis' voice echoed in his ears.

Mia was shocked when she heard this.

Yes, at that time Sardis did have some signs of arrogance, arrogance and domineering, but there were only signs of that.

Yes, but not too serious.

But in just over a month, the signs suddenly intensified.

The sudden and drastic change in temperament made him unable to react for a while, so he was caught off guard by what happened later.

It's not that he doesn't find it strange.

But at that time, Sardis refused to see him, coupled with the time constraints, he really had no time to think about the female Shah.

That's what led to the tragic end.

Now Sardis's narration made him finally understand why at that time, Sardis' temperament suddenly and sharply turned to the dark side.

Even his attitude towards him-

He knows better than anyone how violent and vicious the tyrant Sardis in the wrong worldline is.

If he had an emotional resonance with himself with such a temperament, and even gradually assimilated his temperament, he would be able to understand why Sardis suddenly became so arrogant and domineering.

But why did Sardis suddenly dream about the wrong worldline?

……

night……

Dream?

Is it—

Mia raised her eyes suddenly, and saw the crescent moon hanging in the night sky through the skylight.

[Moonlight has the power to confuse people's hearts... making people unable to distinguish between illusion and reality. 】

【...Dug out the darkest place in the bottom of the heart, causing it to go into chaos and madness...】

The boy pursed his lips.

"Mia."

Sardis called his name in a low voice.

A muffled sound came from the pit of his neck.

"I hate that dream."

Not because in the dream world, he was hated by others.

But because...

"The world in the dream, by my side, without you."

He hates the world where only he exists.

"later……"

Sardis' voice paused slightly.

"Later, when I woke up from my dream, you were no longer by my side."

That last sentence was very calm.

Said it lightly.

However, when the calmness reached the extreme, it was even more inexplicably heart-wrenching.

The tip of her nose became sore, and Mia's lips parted, but she did not speak after all.

Sometimes, no language is needed.

He just raised his arms around Sardis' head.

He tightly hugged the man in his arms who had been looking for him for five years with a slight possibility.

He hugged the man who made him feel distressed.

"I'm not trying to excuse the mistakes I made."

"No matter what the reason is, the person who caused all that is me."

In the past five years, amidst countless regrets, Sardis could not deny that.

At that time, he was still too young and too naive.

The glory of victory blinded his eyes.

The praise that surrounded him gradually made him arrogant.

So easily affected by a dream.

So much so that an irreparable mistake was made.

"At that time, I was very reconciled to your refusal to accept my feelings again and again."

"At that time, I felt that I could easily get everything I wanted, but you were the only one... It seemed that I couldn't hold it in my hands no matter what."

"I want to subdue you, I want you to admit defeat to me, and I want to use this to hold you firmly."

Thus, his needless pride and arrogance led to an ending that made him regret his whole life.

He paid the worst price for this.

Sardis stopped talking.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a long time, the voice sounded again.

"In those years, I also felt tired, and thought about not looking for it..."

But can't.

He couldn't stop looking.

"I asked myself what you are to me."

Sardis looked up.

His hand caressed Miya's cheek.

In the crimson sea, when he saw that familiar figure in a trance for a moment.

The moment when tears seeped into the sea from the corner of his eyes.

Suddenly he understood.

He bowed his head and kissed the person in his arms deeply.

"Mia, you are... my life."
