Little Priest's Cat Diary

Sardis stood silently on the training ground for a long time before slowly returning to his residence.

He really wanted to see Mia's situation, but for some reason he felt apprehensive and dared not go there.

The bloody wound on Mia's calf kept swaying in his mind, disturbing him, and even the maid asked him carefully when he had dinner, but he scolded him and kicked him out.

In the end, he was so irritable that he simply drove everyone out of the room, closed the door tightly and locked himself in the room without seeing anyone.

It was like this for an afternoon.

It wasn't until evening that the maid reported to him tremblingly outside that Knight Commander Nadia had arrived, and then Sardis opened the door and asked Nadia to be brought in.

Nadia briefly reported to him that she took Mia to the doctor to clean and bandage the wound, and then sent her back to the Sea God Temple.

Glancing at the silent Sardis, he said, "You don't need to worry too much, it's just a superficial injury."

Although the wound looked bloody and scary, it was not serious. For a knight commander who often went to the battlefield, it was considered a very minor injury.

"However, even if the injury is not serious, Your Excellency Shaoji will have to rest for a day, so he will come back the day after tomorrow."

Nadia glanced at Sardis and said,

"Also, for at least a week, Your Excellency Shaoji cannot go to the training ground."

Even if it is a skin trauma, you have to wait for it to heal completely, otherwise it will be even more troublesome if the wound opens again.

Sardis, who had been listening with lowered eyes, heard this, and suddenly asked: "Then...are you still going to the martial arts field this week?"

Nadia shook her head.

"No." He said, "My teaching object is only Your Excellency Shaoji."

He could have that little attendant accompany him while teaching Mia, but it is absolutely impossible for him, who is a nobleman, to teach a little slave.

If he really did this, once the news got out, he would become the laughing stock of everyone.

However, although the little attendant looked thin and small, he seemed to be born with great strength and high durability... The speed of his growth these days really surprised him.

If he continues to grow like this, he may not be worse than those knights under his command in the future.

It's just... No matter how talented you are, you are still just a slave after all, what a pity.

Thinking of this, the knight commander couldn't help but think of the little attendant who was crying along the way when he sent the injured Mia back to the temple this afternoon, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

It's just a crying bag, to be able to cry for such a long time, and the tears have never stopped, it can be regarded as some kind of special ability.

Nadia shook her head, shaking off the cries that were echoing in her head.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.But just as he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, stopped, and turned around.

"Master Sardis, do you want to guess why I agreed to teach Your Excellency Shaoji and you martial arts—even though you gave up this opportunity."

Nadia stood in the doorway, arms folded across her chest.

There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, just looking at Sardis like this.

You know, with his reputation and status as a 'Great Sword Knight', no one can force him.Even if his boss, General Treya, asked him to teach Sardis himself, he would refuse without hesitation.

Sardis glanced at him and said blankly: "He used the favor you promised him."

"Oh, it seems that you know him quite well."

"..."

Sardis said nothing.

That guy has been doing weird things since we first met.

He was used to it.

The knight commander raised his hand, rubbing the scar on his chin.

He continued to ask: "Why do you think he would use this kind of request to use up this favor?"

"..."

"I advised him not to waste my precious favor on a person who is destined to give up halfway or even not even start."

The knight commander said, still rubbing his chin, but the playful look in his eyes gradually faded.

"Yes, waste. Even in front of you, I dare to say these two words."

"But he said he believed in you."

"He said that he didn't want others to look at his good friend like trash—even if that other person is his good friend's father."

"I even made a bet with him because of this."

Nadia spread her hands.

"Unfortunately, he lost."

The man's tone was very light, but it was this indifferent tone that made people feel the deep disappointment in his heart.

Only one point is for himself, and more is for the boy who believed in Sardis.

"He trusted the wrong people," Nadia said.

After speaking, the knight commander turned and left.

The room fell silent, leaving only Sardis sitting by the window.

He remained silent, his eyes of different colors looked into the distance, in the direction of the Sea God Temple.

The room was so quiet that he could hear his own breathing.

In the sound of his own breathing, for some reason, Sardis suddenly remembered something from a long time ago.

In fact, it was not the first time for him to go to the martial arts field. When he was seven years old, he also went to the martial arts field.

At that time, he was still too young and naive, because his parents had always been indifferent to him, so he kept thinking about what to do to make his parents happy and thus like him.

Your father is a general.

Everyone said that his father was brave and powerful.

Everyone said that he was his father's child, and he would definitely become a brave man like his father in the future.

He asked the old butler if his father would like him if he became as strong as his father.

The old butler smiled and said to him, Lord Treya likes brave people, and has always admired strong people. If he can do well, he will definitely be treated differently by his father.

So, he also tried hard.

At the age of seven, like all noble children, he set foot on the martial arts arena for the first time.

After a week of hard work, the teacher happily told him that he is very talented, so as long as he works hard enough, he will be as powerful as General Treya in the future.

He was very happy.

He happily went to report his martial arts achievements to his father, eager to tell his father how much the teacher appreciated him, and he hoped to get his father's praise, even if there was only one sentence.

however……

In the silent room, the boy sat motionless by the window, like a stone sculpture.

The setting sun from the window fell on half of his face, dyed his golden hair a light fire color, and at the same time cast a deeper shadow on his eye sockets.

The sun sank into the horizon little by little, and the last ray of sunlight falling on his face disappeared, and the boy's figure was completely plunged into the night.

………………

Although the injury on the calf looked bloody and serious, it was actually just a scratch on the skin and no bones were injured, which made Mia heave a sigh of relief.

If you hurt your muscles and bones, it will take up to a hundred days.

After resting in the Sea God Temple for two days and the wounds scabbed over, Mia went to General Tellea's mansion again.

After all, his nominal task is to guide Sardis to practice the divine tome, only using his mouth, not his legs.

Considering his injury, this time Nadia did not take him on a horse as usual, but planned to let Mia ride back and forth in a carriage during this time.

This time Mia didn't intend to take Faer with him, because he knew in his heart that Nadia, the knight commander, could not teach a servant alone.

But Faer looked worried that he was terribly worried, and wanted to follow him desperately.

When he arrived at General Treya's mansion and got out of the carriage, the old butler carefully arranged for a few servants to pick him up with soft sedan chairs.Miya thought that the servants would send him directly to Sardis's study, but unexpectedly, they carried him directly to the training ground.

Mia looked at Nadia blankly, and the knight commander also looked at him in confusion, obviously he didn't know anything about it.

From a distance, I saw a person standing on the training ground, and when I got a closer look, Mia suddenly opened her eyes wide.

The blond boy stood on the high platform of the training ground, wearing a dark suit.

He stood on the martial arts training platform and looked down at Mia, the corners of his slightly raised eyes showed arrogance, and his pure golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight.

Mia looked up at Sardis in astonishment.

Looking at Mia's surprised eyes for a second, Sardis avoided Mia's gaze uncomfortably, coughed dryly, and then stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Faer.

"What are you looking at! Hey, you! That's right, it's you—"

Faer looked at Sardis blankly.

"You will be my attendant during this time, now, come up!"

After the initial astonishment, Mia had already reflected, and when he heard Sardis' commanding tone, he laughed instead.

He was worried about getting hurt, and he couldn't let Nadia continue to teach Fael.

You know, practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.In this month, Faer just entered the door, and suddenly stopped for a while, and it will take double energy to restart later.

However, letting Faer follow him to accept Nadia's teachings was already a loophole for him, and it was impossible to force others to be difficult, and it would not be good for Nadia's reputation to spread the word.

At this moment, what Sardis did made his eyes shine.

Instead, Nadia taught Sardis, and Faer followed Sardis, just like he followed him at the beginning-so there would be no problem.

Although Sardis didn't say anything, Mia understood that this was Sardis apologizing to herself in another form.

What made him the happiest was that Sardis was willing to take the initiative to accept Nadia's teaching.

After all, that was his original purpose.

He nodded to the little attendant beside him, and the bewildered little attendant stepped onto the martial arts training platform in a daze.

Mia raised her head and smiled at Sardis, "I'll leave him to you for the time being."

Sardis snorted.

Although this was his own decision, he was still very dissatisfied with Mia's emphasis on an attendant.

He turned his gaze away from Mia to Nadia.

Faer went to the martial arts training platform, but Nadia still stood firmly below, motionless.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Come up." Sardis said impatiently, "Aren't you going to teach me how to practice martial arts?"

The knight commander smiled.

"Master Sardis, please don't talk to yourself, have I promised to teach you martial arts?"

Nadia's words made the two teenagers look at him in astonishment.

"Nadia Knight Commander?"

"You—you clearly promised Mia—"

Nadia ignored Sardis, turned her head and said to Mia: "Your Excellency, I made it very clear to you from the beginning, I promised you to teach you and Master Sardis, but as long as someone gives up Or fall by the wayside, and I'm not going to give that person a second chance."

"You did say that, but can you..."

"Sorry, Your Excellency, I will never go back on what I said. This is my principle. Moreover, your favor with me has been used up, and it is impossible to make a second request to me."

"........."

Mia could see that Nadia had indeed said what he said, and he had said what he said first. He really had no right to force people to go back on their word.

However, Sardis was finally willing... What should I do?

The young man thought in embarrassment, subconsciously pursed his lips.

Sardis was still thinking angrily, "If you don't teach me, I'll find someone, it's not up to you", but seeing Miya's sad expression in a blink of an eye, he gritted his teeth and suppressed the pain in his heart. anger.

"Before... I was self-willed."

For the first time in his life, he bowed his head to Nadia, although it looked very forced.

"There will be no such thing in the future, and I won't give up halfway, so just this time, don't worry about it, okay?"

Nadia thought that her words would blow up Sardis, and immediately drove herself away, but she didn't expect this arrogant young master to suppress his temper and say such words.

The knight commander raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It was the first time for the young master to swallow his anger.

However, just being surprised doesn't mean he will change his mind.

He continued to shake his head and said, "I'm sorry, Master Sardis, I have my principles."

If it can be broken easily, it is not called a principle.

"I can let Father give you an order directly..."

Nadia snorted slightly.

"What I have decided, unless I am willing to change my mind, it will be useless even if you ask your father, General Treya, to give me orders."

Sardis really wanted to shake his face and tell Nadia to leave.

But he turned his head and took a look, and Mia was standing beside her, staring at him without blinking. There seemed to be something surging in her blue eyes, revealing a little expectation.

He saw Mia's calf, the white bandage wrapped around it was blindingly white.

The turmoil in his heart suddenly subsided a little, and Sardis took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"So, how do you change your mind?" he asked.

Nadia became impatient, he really didn't want to teach the young master, he thought he had to solve the trouble simply.

He jumped onto the martial arts training platform, went to the weapon rack at the side, reached out and picked up two iron guns, thought for a while, put them back, and replaced them with two practice wooden guns with wooden heads.

Then, he turned around, raised his hand and threw a wooden spear to Sardis.

"Beat me."

The knight commander said coldly, "As long as you can defeat me, I will make an exception and violate my principles and give you a second chance."

Sardis clenched the wooden gun he had just received tightly, staring at Nadia with anger in his eyes, and he was about to explode.

Mia's heart clenched, and she couldn't help but quickly took a few steps forward, but finally stopped, and closed her opened mouth again.

If he stepped forward to help intercede now, it would only make Nadia look down on Sardis even more.To change Nadia's mind, Sardis can only rely on himself.

Mia stood beside the martial arts training platform, watching the two confronting each other on the platform calmly.

He just watched and said nothing.

As he had said to Nadia before, it was the same now.

He believed in Sardis.
