Little Priest's Cat Diary

Ten days ago.

It was already late at night, and in this frontier fortress, the conference room on the side of the tower was still brightly lit.

The conference room is not big, it can accommodate a dozen people at most, and the decoration is simple and rough, focusing on practicality.

Different from the meeting hall, those who can stand here are the most trusted and responsible generals of King David.

In the room, apart from King Davies, there were only the old attendant who was always with him like a shadow, and three knights in silver-white armor.

After King David succeeded to the throne, he reformed the military and established three major legions, namely the Knights of the Sword, the Knights of the Spear and the Knights of the Shield.

The three men in the room at the moment are the commanders of the three major knight orders.

In the center of the room is a large rectangular table, on which a map made of thick sheepskin is spread out.

Although there were armchairs beside the table, none of the people present were sitting. They were all standing by the table, looking at the map while talking about the current battle situation and discussing how to fight next.

King Davie stood on one side, listening to their discussion with a calm expression, without opening his mouth.

The night was already deep, and the old attendant who stood quietly in the shadow like a shadow looked at the night, leaned over to King Davies, and said something in a low voice.

King Davie nodded, asked everyone to stop discussing the battle situation, and ordered them to go back to rest.

Everyone bowed and retreated. Before Tellea stepped back, King David patted Tellea on the shoulder.

He praised: "You fought the battle yesterday very well."

The enemy army attacked yesterday, Treya led the army to attack from the side, rushed into the enemy army at once, and personally killed the enemy general, causing the enemy army to be defeated.

Treya leaned over and put one hand on her chest.

He said: "I will do my best for you, Your Majesty."

King Davie smiled again and patted this subordinate who had fought with him for more than 20 years, and nodded to signal him to leave.

The room was closed, leaving only King David and his confidants inside.

The room was very quiet. He stood by the table, pressed his hands on the table, lowered his head and continued to carefully look at the map on the table, repeatedly weighing the pros and cons of various tactics in his mind, thinking about how to get the maximum victory and how to maximize the victory. It is possible to reduce one's own losses.

Every time he fights, he has to think over and over again for a long time.

He knew very well that every decision he made represented the lives of thousands of soldiers, so he never slacked off in the slightest.

At this moment, a faint voice sounded from the side.

"Have you thought about it? Your Majesty."

The old attendant standing in the shadows asked in an aged voice.

"Needless to say, Kaya, I believe in Tellea's loyalty to me."

"Before that, I also believed in his loyalty to you."

The old servant continued quietly.

"But what about after you said you were going to take his wife away? Can he really remain loyal to you as always?"

"........."

"There is no eternal secret in the world. No matter what excuses are used to cover it up, that matter will always be known. When everyone knows that matter, he can still be loyal to you under the pity or even contempt of others. for how long?"

"Can you really guarantee that in the long run, he won't feel resentment towards you?"

"Enough, Kaya, shut up."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but this kind of thing doesn't exist just because I keep my mouth shut."

The old attendant sighed faintly, most of his face was hidden in the shadow, only the lower half was exposed in the firelight.

He does not agree with His Majesty's approach.

However, if His Majesty made a decision, he would consider it for His Majesty and nip all dangers in the bud.

"Or, you give up thinking about that woman."

The old attendant's tone was flat, but the meaning in his words was extremely cold, revealing an awe-inspiring killing intent.

"If you absolutely want that woman, then you must kill her to avoid future troubles."

"I believe in Tellea..."

"Your Majesty, I also believe in General Treya's loyalty now, and perhaps I can continue to believe in the next one or two years."

The old squire sighed.

"But what about ten years from now?"

In a long time, human nature is the most untested thing.

"Your Majesty, you have planted a thorn in his heart. That thorn will never disappear. It will only rot over time, making the pain even more unbearable."

Seeing that King Davie was silent, the old servant took out his last trump card.

"Your Majesty, think about what happened to King Cross. Do you want Portoyas to repeat the mistakes of King Cross?"

King David's hand on the table was clenched tightly, and even the corner of the map that was about to be spread on the table was also clenched into a ball in his palm.

He closed his eyes, the slightly moving corners of his eyes showed the restlessness in his heart, and his sharp lips were pressed hard.

…………

Kingdom of Cross.

More than 20 years ago, King Portoyas died of illness, and the crown prince who succeeded him died after being bedridden with serious illness for several years.

The authority of the Portoyas royal family was weakened to the extreme.

All over Portoyas, those ambitious forces seized this opportunity to establish themselves as kings. It didn't take long for Portoyas to fall apart and split into several small countries.

Cross Country is also one of them.

All of a sudden, various forces were fighting, and the land of Portoyas was constantly fighting, and the lamentation of the people was endless.

King Cross is a very ambitious and capable person. He was originally the lord of Cross City, and he was the first independent force to take advantage of the weakness of the royal family.Later, he annexed two small countries that used to be attached to Portoyas one after another, forming a tripartite confrontation with the other two major forces in Portoyas.

Seeing that the forces of the tripartite forces are about to confront each other, King David suddenly appears, inherits the throne, and leads the weakened royal family to rise strongly.

He continued to lead the army to go out, defeated those forces who tried to be independent one after another, and brought the divided land back into his rule.

But King Klose's power is not weak, and King Daviell can't do anything to him for a while, and the two sides have been stalemate for several years.

King Cross had no children, so he adopted ten adopted sons, who were also generals under his command, and one of the adopted sons was the most heroic general under his command, who made great contributions to his expedition to the north and south, He is the most favored.

He wanted to marry his niece to his adopted son, which also meant that he wanted to make this adopted son his heir.

But, surprisingly, the general rejected his niece and asked him to give him a priestess of the moon god as his wife.

King Cross agreed, and publicly promised to give him the woman.

However, just the day before the wedding, he visited the woman as the father of his adopted son.Afterwards, he directly brought the woman back to the palace from the Moon God Palace and accepted her as his concubine.

When his adopted son came to question him angrily, he categorically denied that he had given the woman to him, and temporarily dismissed his adopted son as a general on the grounds that his adopted son was rude to him.

Two months later, Yizi led the army into the palace.

King Cross died by his sword.

Subsequently, the adopted son became the next king of Cross and married the woman as the princess.

The other adopted sons of King Cross were not reconciled to submit to him, and they left with their troops one after another.

The Kingdom of Cross fell apart in an instant, and its power weakened to the lowest point. King David took the opportunity to send a large army to capture the city of Cross in one fell swoop with Treya as the commander, bringing the Cross region that had been split off for nearly ten years back under the rule of the kingdom. .

In the next two years, King David completely completed the settlement of the remaining forces in the country.

Portoyas was unified again, and the country returned to stability.

Now, 15 years later, the same thing and the same scene are happening again among the monarchs and ministers of Portoyas.

It was staged next to the woman who was regarded as unknown by everyone.

...It seems to be the curse of King Cross who perished in the hands of Portoyas...

The fists pressed on the table were clenched and loosened, and King Davies opened his eyes. His dark eyes were like the night sky outside the window.

He said, "Stop talking, Kaya."

"His Majesty……"

"I said, don't say any more."

The black-haired king said decisively.

His dark eyes were bright and energetic, as usual, staring at his attendants with blazing eyes.

"I believe in Treya's loyalty, just like I believe in you. He has fought side by side with me for more than 20 years, and has fought for me, and he will never do anything against it."

After King Davie finished speaking, he turned and left the room without further words.

Pushing open the door, he was shocked to find someone outside.

The commander of the Knights of the Shield stood outside the door. Compared with the other two commanders who had fought with King David for more than 20 years, this commander who had only been in office for a few years was still very young.

At this moment, the young commander crossed his arms and leaned against the wall beside the door. When he saw the door was opened, he looked up at King Davie.

His appearance is very ordinary, but his eyes are as bright as stars, as if he can see through people's hearts.

Hearing all the conversations in the room just now, the young commander looked calm, he had no sense of being caught, he didn't even bother to find an excuse, and his face directly showed the expression that I heard everything.

He just kept leaning against the wall with his arms folded, staring at King Davie with sharp eyes.

Instead, King Davie rubbed his nose in embarrassment and coughed lightly.

"Don't worry, I won't do that kind of thing."

After hearing this sentence, the young commander didn't say anything, just nodded, saluted perfunctorily, then turned and left.

King Davie smiled. There was no displeasure on his face, but a little helplessness, and more connivance.

He didn't think of the young commander's rudeness, and his attitude towards him was not like that of a subordinate, but more like an elder pampering his young junior.

He turned and walked to his bedroom.

【Your Majesty, do you want Portoyas to repeat the mistakes of Cross? 】

For some reason, this sentence suddenly appeared in his mind again, causing his footsteps to pause.

King Davie shook his head vigorously, shook it out of his mind completely, and continued to stride towards the bedroom. Soon, all he could think about was the stalemate battle situation.

The old attendant followed behind him soundlessly, like his shadow, and never spoke again.

…………

As time went on, the war intensified.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the enemy's attacks are becoming more violent day by day.

Although it is located in the north of Portoyas, because it is far away from the sea, the temperature is much hotter than the southern city of Portoyas.
