Little Priest's Cat Diary

After a great battle, Ston's army was completely defeated, unable to attack Portoyas anymore, and had to retreat.

People on the northern border cheered.

More than 20 years ago, the people of Ston always broke into the border from time to time, as if entering no one's land.The Ston people robbed them of the food they worked so hard to cultivate, and took away their wives and daughters.The Ston people trampled on this land recklessly, burned, looted and looted, and committed countless bloody crimes.

For so many years, the people on the border have been living in unspeakable misery. They were like livestock raised by the Ston people. They were slaughtered at will, but they were powerless to resist. They could only struggle to survive under the iron hooves of the Ston people.

Until the rise of King David with Porto Yass, he resolutely led his army to fight against the Ston people. From the beginning, he lost more than he won, and he kept the Ston people out of the border for nearly ten years. The people finally lived a stable life.

When the army left, countless people came spontaneously to see the army off.

They stared in awe at the tall figure at the front of the army.

their king.

Young children may not understand it, but adults who have experienced the tragic history like livestock understand the value of today's security better than anyone else.

From the bottom of their hearts, they are grateful and admire King David who gave them a peaceful life.

They sang his praises like a god.

……

The triumphant return of the army also aroused joy in the royal city.

Numerous tulip petals were scattered in the sky, and these petals, which symbolized victory, fell on the bloodstained armor of the soldiers.

On this day, Wangcheng seemed to become a sea of ​​petals.

In the few days after the army returned, the follow-up work was carried out in an orderly manner. Those who made military exploits were rewarded with great rewards, and the heroic spirits of the war dead held a grand memorial ceremony in the temple.

The ministers had originally planned to hold a grand party to celebrate the victory, but King David's illness disrupted this plan.

King David, who is physically strong, seldom fell ill, but this time he was seriously ill. He lay in bed for more than ten days, which worried all the ministers and generals.

No one noticed that after the visit, the young commander of the Knights of the Shield sneered at the old attendant, "It's a heart attack", and then left without entering the palace.

Fortunately, more than ten days later, King David gradually recovered from his illness and began to show up to handle government affairs, and they were relieved.

Two months later, a decree issued by King David stunned everyone.

King David ordered to marry Opelila as his princess.

When King David first inherited the throne more than 20 years ago, he married the daughter of an important minister under his command as the princess.During the five years, the princess gave birth to a prince and a princess for him successively, but died of dystocia when giving birth to the princess.

Because of dystocia, the second princess was sickly since she was a child, and finally died of illness at the age of 16.

After the concubine died of illness, King Davie has never remarried, because he has an adult first prince under his knees, so the ministers seldom urged him to remarry.

And now, King David, who hadn't married again for many years, actually wants to make that unknown woman his princess!

That is the woman who caused King Cross to kill his son and King Cross to destroy the country!

This king's order immediately caused an uproar in the king's city, and was strongly opposed by countless people.But King Davie insisted on going his own way. Regardless of everyone's opposition, he welcomed Opelila into the palace with an extremely tough attitude and made him the princess.

With his incomparable prestige in Porto Yas, after all, no one can stop this matter.

Now that the matter has come to this point, everyone can only lament in private that they have a new concubine after acquiescing to the fact that they have a new concubine.

The princess's son, Sardis, also entered the palace with him and became the third prince of Portoyas.

All of this happened extremely quickly. In just a few months, before Mia came back to her senses, everything was settled.

The development of this matter made him astonished, but there was a faint feeling in his heart that it was indeed so.

Following the trajectory of fate, Sardis... eventually became a prince.

Not long after everything was over, the palace sent someone to the Sea God Hall to bring Mia into the palace.

After half a month, Mia saw Sardis again.

The third prince of Portoyas was standing lazily at the moment, surrounded by a group of maids, arranging his clothes.

His brows and eyes drooped slightly, the corners of his eyes raised a little sharply, and under the eyelashes there was a faint coldness and arrogance.

Dressed in Chinese clothes, wearing a silver crown.

Gold tassels hang down the chest, and a light-colored cloak wrapped around the shoulders is draped behind.

Obviously, his appearance and figure have not changed, but Mia clearly felt some invisible change from this young man whom he hadn't seen for half a month.

He paused at the door, but Sardis immediately noticed his arrival and turned to look at him.

"Why are you standing there stupidly? You haven't come in yet."

Sardis raised his hand and waved away the group of maids who surrounded him and dressed him, walked quickly towards Mia, reached out and grabbed Mia's hand unceremoniously, and pulled her into the room.

"It's nothing, I just feel that you are more gorgeously dressed than before."

Although Sardis was used to wearing fancy clothes before he met him, but since he started practicing martial arts, he has become accustomed to wearing simple and convenient clothes, and rarely wears complicated clothes.

Now she suddenly put on a gorgeous dress again, even worse than before, Mia was not used to it for a while.

But after seeing the look on Sardis' face, he couldn't help laughing.

He asked: "Why? Do you have to dress so cumbersome every day?"

"How is it possible." Sardis clicked his tongue impatiently, "I said I was going to meet someone, so these maids surrounded me and insisted on dressing me like this."

He held Mia's hand tightly and said, "Go, do me a favor, you go with me."

"Hey?"

Mia, who was suddenly dragged away by Sardis, had not recovered before a maid stopped them.

"Your Highness, if this person is going to have an audience, please allow me to change into a formal attire for this Your Excellency..."

"Get out!"

Before the maid finished speaking, Sardis unceremoniously pushed her away, grabbed Mia's hand and walked outside quickly.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"Go to see the princess."

"what?"

"I have something to ask her, and I need your help."

"No... What do you want me to do when you go to see your mother? What can I do for you?"

Mia asked puzzled.

But Sardis didn't answer, but just kept holding his hand tightly and leading him forward, Mia had no choice but to keep her mouth shut and follow obediently.

After walking through many corridors, gardens one after another, and palaces one after another, Sardis finally took him to his destination after walking for more than 20 minutes.

The bedroom of Princess Opelilla.

The two stood at the palace gate and waited for a while, and the maid who went in to inform came out.

She bowed her head and said, "I'm sorry, prince, the princess is resting now, and I don't see anyone, please go back."

Sardis said lightly: "Go in again and report to the princess that I came with the young priest of the Sea God Temple."

The maid glanced at Mia suspiciously, but turned around and entered the palace again without asking any questions.

Not long after, she walked out quickly.

"Your Highness, and Your Excellency the Young Priest, please follow me in."

Sardis sneered, turned around, and shrugged at Mia.

That action means, now you know why I asked you to do me a favor, right?

Mia: "..."

Even if the identities became the princess and the prince, the weird and stiff atmosphere between the mother and son remained the same.

The maid led the way, and Sardis whispered to Mia as she walked, "Since she lived here, she has never been seen by anyone who asked to see her."

"Actually, I don't care if I see her or not. I just have something else I want to ask her."

Having said that, he paused.

Still holding Mia's hand, he said softly, "I don't know why, but I think she might be willing to see you."

"why?"

Mia was very confused. After all, he had only met Mrs. Opelila a few times, and he was not familiar with her at all. He really couldn't think of the reason why the lady treated him differently.

"do not know."

Sardis thought for a while, and whispered something.

"This is probably the only thing I have in common with her..."

"What did you say?"

The voice behind Sardis's words was too low for Mia to hear clearly.

"Nothing, I mean, maybe because she thinks you look like that gluttonous stupid deer?"

"........."

Mia tried to shake off the hand of a guy who said he was gluttonous and stupid, but failed, and was gripped even tighter instead.

He glared.

The man smiled at him.

While the two teenagers were confronting each other silently, the maid had already led them into a spacious room, then retreated lightly and closed the door.

White jade reliefs, pure gold ornaments, a sky-blue velvet blanket are spread on the ground, and blood-red coral jade several meters high is placed in the corner of the wall.

Everything in this luxurious room is exquisite, and everything is rare treasures in the world.

On the seat carved from extremely precious obsidian, the princess of Portoyas sat there with calm eyes.

She is still so beautiful.

As long as she stays here, it is enough to eclipse all the treasures in the room.

Green eyes like emerald gems lightly passed over Mia's body, and then fell on Sardis at the side.

Princess Opelilla asked him: "Do you want to see me?"

Her tone of voice to Sardis was still as cold as usual, without the slightest emotion.

Sardis smiled and said, "It seems that you are doing well."

"..."

The princess looked at him indifferently, without speaking.

"'Father' died in battle. Everyone thought that orphans and widowed mothers would have a difficult life. Who knew that you would transform into a princess, and even I became a prince. It is really thanks to you."

Sardis stared straight at his mother sharply, with undisguised sarcasm in his eyes.

"It's pretty good, isn't it? After all, after a beautiful flower like the dodder has exhausted the nutrients of the plant it was originally attached to, it has to find a stronger plant..."

"Sardis!"

A clear voice interrupted Sardis' words.

"Shut up, Sardis."

The young man stared at Sardis with azure blue eyes, and there was a hint of sternness in his eyes. He said angrily, "This is not what you should say."

Sardis pursed his lower lip, he turned his face away, and didn't say any more.

The princess sat quietly on the obsidian seat, her eyes were lowered, her slender eyelashes cast rose-colored shadows on her jade-like cheeks.

The sun shone on her face, it was a face that was too beautiful to exist in the world.

She is sitting here, but she is out of place here.

Those hurtful words that are enough to anger anyone are like an insignificant feather in front of her.

Her gaze looks at you indifferently, like a beautiful but lifeless stone statue, or like a phantom in the water that cannot be grasped or touched.

Mia took a deep breath, walked up, and walked in front of the princess.

"Lady Opelilla."

He stared at the princess and asked softly, "Would you...would you like to stay here?"

Would you like to be the princess of King David?

The blue eyes hidden under the shadow of eyelashes moved slightly, Princess Opelilla raised her eyes, glanced at Mia, and lowered them again.

She replied calmly: "There is no difference between here and in the general's mansion."

"But……"

"You are a smart child, you should understand that I can only stay here." She said flatly, "It doesn't matter to anyone, I just need a quiet place."

The princess's answer left Mia at a loss as to what to say.

He knew in his heart that Mrs. Opelila's appearance was too magnificent, and there would be no peace if no one protected her.Even without King David, she would be spied on by other men when she was alone.

Rather than that, it would be better to become a princess.

But... did Mrs. Opelilla really want this herself?

In the silent atmosphere of the room, the princess looked up at Sardis.

"What did you see me for?"

"I have something to ask you."

"..."

Sardis raised his hand and took off the gold mask on his right eye.The pair of strange-colored eyes looked at his mother with deep eyes.

"Mother."

he said, in a low voice.

"Did you ever love me?"

The princess looked at her child and said, "Sardis, I gave birth to you, but your birth was never what I wanted."

The air in the room seemed to stagnate for a second, and Mia's breathing also stopped for a second.

He opened his mouth to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Just when he was at a loss, Sardis suddenly laughed.

"I see, Mother."

There was no trace of sadness or anger on the boy's face, he looked very calm, as if he knew that he would get such an answer.

He said: "Although it was not your wish to give birth to me, I still want to thank you for bringing me into this world."

Sardis said calmly: "I'm done asking, Mia, let's go."

After speaking to Mia, he turned around and walked towards the door first.

"Ah?...Oh."

Mia subconsciously wanted to follow, but suddenly felt something was wrong, and stopped again.

"Well, Opelie Love... Uh, no, princess, I will retreat first..."

The princess stood up slowly, she looked at Mia, and said, "The deer is still in the mansion, I hope you can take care of it."

"Huh? But, it's you..."

"As I said, it doesn't belong to me, and it doesn't belong to anyone. It likes you and wants to be by your side."

After looking at Wang Hao's eyes for a few seconds, Mia nodded.

"I know, I'll take good care of it."

Princess Opelilla looked at Mia, a slight invisible arc rose from the corner of her lips, which disappeared in an instant.

She reached out and stroked the boy's cheek with her fingertips.

Like last time, she lowered her head, the cascade of blond hair fell from her shoulders, and her lips fell softly on the boy's forehead.

"May the moon god protect your free soul forever..."

She whispered, her green eyes stared at Mia, and at this moment, there seemed to be something deeply surging in the depths of her eyes, which had always been emotionless.

"You are... 'Hope'."

The last sentence was inaudible, and Mia didn't hear it clearly.

He opened his mouth to ask, but someone grabbed his wrist suddenly, and a strong force pulled him away from the princess.

While thinking about the strange déjà vu of the current situation, he was dragged out of the room by Sardis.

Only the princess was left in the room.

She stood, quietly watching the back of the departing boy.It wasn't until she disappeared in the corridor that she turned her head and cast her gaze out the window.

Outside the window, the blue sky is boundless, just like the child's eyes that are too vast to see the end.

【Would you like to stay here? 】

...no one ever asked her.

When I was abandoned as a child...

When it was given to that general...

When King Cross brought him back to the palace...

Brought to the royal city by Treya...

Sardis was born...

And now, becoming the princess of King David...

……

Nobody ever asked her, 'Will you? '

The wind blowing from the window brushed the princess's cheeks and lifted a strand of golden hair from her shoulders.

there has never been.

…………

........................

Back at the prince's residence, Mia looked at Sardis thoughtfully.

"You seem to have matured a lot."

"Ok?"

"I said just now, when the princess said that, I thought you would lose your temper, but I didn't expect you to say such mature words like an adult."

"I was already very mature."

Sardis raised his chin proudly.

"..."

"What's your expression like?"

"It hurts! Don't rub my face."

"Who told you to put on that irritating expression... My strength is already very light, why do you get red after doing this?"

Sardis touched Mia's blushed cheeks, and muttered softly while rubbing.

"Really, skinny and tender, not like a man."

"........."

You are the least qualified to talk about me in this world.

Sardis laughed as he watched Mia stare at him.

He held the other's cheeks, leaned his face closer, and blew lightly on the cheeks that had been rubbed red by him.

"It doesn't hurt, right?"

As he said this, his eyes were soft and there was a smile in his eyes.

【Your birth was not what I wanted. 】

If it was him in the past, he would probably have sneered and said unceremoniously, 'I was not born in this world voluntarily', 'I would rather I had never been born in this world' and so on, confronting that woman.

but now……

Sardis looked at the boy in front of him, his shadow was reflected in those blue eyes, as if he was in the ocean.

He thought that bringing him into this world was the only thing he could thank that woman for.

Because he was born in this world, he was able to meet Mia.

This is the most beautiful encounter.
