Little Priest's Cat Diary

The wind whizzed by, and the young man stood in the wind with a valiant demeanor.

He stared at the front without blinking, his gaze was like an eagle looking down on the earth above the sky, flashing with a heart-pounding sharp light.

The attacker was not alone.

When the archer shot by Mia fell from the tree with a bang, almost at the same moment, another arrow shot straight from another direction.

The moment the arrow was shot, he had already keenly felt the breath coming from the wind, and the young man's bright eyes flashed.

The string of the full moon in his hand loosened.

humming sound.

The sharp arrow shot out and galloped away.

The two sharp arrows collided in the air again, and the metal tip exploded a cluster of invisible sparks in the air.

The archer hiding on the other side of the rocky cliff had just put the next arrow on the bowstring, and before he had time to aim, the oncoming sharp arrow made his eyes tremble.

The instinct to survive made him want to dodge quickly, and the tip of the arrow narrowly brushed against the side of his throat.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the sharp arrow that grazed his throat pierced into his collar.

The strong inertia brought by the sharp arrow pulled his collar and continued to move backwards, and he was forced to stagger a step backwards.

With a ding, the sharp arrow nailed deeply into the tree trunk behind him, even dragging him to the tree trunk.

The archer wanted to struggle in a panic, but just when his collar was torn with a hiss, a terrifying buzzing sound came from the air.

The dilated pupils due to panic only had time to see the two sharp arrows galloping towards them like a gust of wind.

One after the other.

Archer only had time to roll his eyes, and the icy metallic luster has moved from far to near——

With two puffs in succession, one of Archer's eyes and throat were pierced through one after another.

Less than 10 minutes after his companion died, he followed his companion to die.

Mia's eyes swept across the jungle, and after confirming that there was no movement, he took a step back, clenched the bow in his hand, and continued to maintain vigilance while kneeling down on the ground, looking worriedly at Sardis .

Sardis knelt down on the ground, clenched the long sword tied to the ground with one hand, and tried his best to support his body.

He closed his eyes tightly, sweat dripping down his cheeks.

The fingers holding the hilt of the sword were so hard that the knuckles rattled, and he bit his lower lip tightly, the lip was already bloodstained by him.

Just by looking at it, one can imagine the pain he is suffering at the moment.

Mia stretched out her hand and pushed Sardis hard behind the thick trunk, using the trunk to block the figures of the two to avoid being attacked by bows and arrows again.

Sardis leaned his head against the tree trunk.

That handsome face has completely lost all color, and it looks extremely pale in the sun, which makes people horrified when they look at it.

Especially the bright red blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, against the backdrop of his pale complexion, looked even more shocking.

Miya looked anxiously.

With a clasp of his fingers, he quickly opened the hidden clasp of the ring on his left middle finger.

With a snap, a white pill hidden in the ring rolled down into his palm.

This is the pill that High Priest Itit prepared for him, which can cure most poisons. He has been carrying it with him all the time, but he did not expect to use it on Sardis this time.

Without time to think, he handed the antidote pill to Sardis' lips.

"Sadie, open your mouth and swallow this—Sadie—"

Severe pain caused Sardis to be in a trance at this moment, unable to hear Mia's voice at all.

He leaned against the tree trunk, still tightly closed his eyes and pursed his lips.

His lips were already thin, but now they were extremely white, and they were so tight that they looked like a straight line.

Mia held the pill in her right hand and the bow in her left, not daring to let go at such a dangerous moment.

Seeing that he couldn't free his hand, he raised his hand and threw the pill into his mouth without caring about anything else.Then he squeezed Sardis' jaw with his right hand, leaned forward, and pressed his lips against Sardis's.

Forcibly pried open Sardis' lips and teeth with the tip of his tongue, and passed the pill in his mouth to the opponent's mouth.

After confirming that Sardis had swallowed the antidote pill, Mia finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back.

Just then, he heard footsteps.

Disorderly footsteps came from the jungle, coming from different directions.

The current situation, coupled with the two archers just now, it is obvious that the attackers knew that he and Sardis were coming here, and arranged an ambush here in advance.

And the reason why they came to General Tellea's tomb was because...

Thinking of the hunchbacked and old figure that was still standing in front of the gate of the mansion after they left a long way away, Mia's eyes dimmed.

why?

He looked at the pale Sardis, and subconsciously glanced at the food box that had been overturned on the grass, and the remaining meat rolls with sauce were scattered all over the ground.

Mia pursed her lips, anger was burning in his blue eyes, and he clenched his fingers tightly.

Why do such a thing?

Could it be... coerced...

Mia stood up abruptly, drawing two arrows from the quiver on the tree trunk as she got up.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the dozen or so people who appeared in the jungle, and then fixed his gaze on the man who was obviously the leader, who flashed out from behind the tree trunk in an instant.

The moment he jumped out, the bowstring trembled and buzzed.

When the bowstring sounded, a sharp arrow shot out from his fingertips.

The sharp arrow galloped through the jungle, and was about to hit the head of the visitor.

The man raised his sword, and the light of the sword cut across the air.

The tip of the arrow hit the blade with a clanging sound, and fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen people who appeared in the jungle rushed towards Mia's direction together with him.

Miya's eyes were serious.

Almost at the same time as the enemy rushed over, he opened his bow and shot an arrow.

The sharp arrow shot out, instantly knocking the person who rushed to the front to the ground.

The young man stood firmly under the big tree, his eyes were sharp, his expression was calm, and his expression was extremely calm.

The bowstring trembled constantly, humming after another.

Sharp arrows shot out of his hand one after another at an extremely fast speed.

Arrows are like beads.Galloping in the jungle, one arc after another is like lightning.

The string of arrows almost formed a continuous afterimage of arrows in the air.

This is probably the first time that the boy showed his unknown but amazing archery skills in front of everyone.

But everyone who witnessed this amazing archery skill paid a very painful price for it.

Cries of pain resounded in the jungle, and the people hit by the arrows fell to the ground one after another.

Unexpectedly, the young Shaoji possessed such astonishing archery skills. The man's expression darkened. Seeing that three or five of his companions had fallen to the ground, he let out a low cry.

Without waiting for his reminder, the people who were shocked by the sharp arrows hid themselves behind the nearby big trees, letting the thick trunks block their shadows.

For a while, there was silence in the jungle, only the rustling sound of the wind whistling through the canopy could be heard.

Standing proudly under the big tree, the young man was not tall and could even be said to be slender, but at this moment he abruptly created a scene where one man was in charge of the other.

Anger flashed in the eyes of the man hiding behind the tree.

It was supposed to be a good situation, but because the old guy decided on his own initiative and refused to poison the food of the young sacrifice, it became the current situation of stalemate.

Even though he had told him the whole truth, that old fellow was still so benevolent!

The man over there was frowning and thinking about how to break the situation, while Mia here saw the sharp arrows stunning the enemies, and took a step back.

"Sadie."

He stretched out his hand and asked in a low voice.

"Can you still move?"

Sardis, who was sitting under the tree, looked up at him, and a few mouthfuls of black blood could be vaguely seen on the ground.

His face was still pale without the slightest trace of blood, but his expression eased up a lot. Presumably the antidote pill still had some effect.

It's just that there is a faint glimmer of light circulating in the depths of his eyes, and the gloomy air is deeply gloomy in it, like a sky covered with black clouds, opaque, gloomy, and full of darkness.

Only when she looked up at Mia's outstretched hand, there was a little light in those dark pupils.

Taking a deep breath, Sardis clenched the hilt of the long sword stuck on the ground with one hand, grabbed Mia's hand with the other, and stood up after exerting force.

There was a look of unwillingness on his face, but his uncontrollable body at this moment could only make him stagger to the rear with the support of Mia.

Mia led Sardis out of the jungle.

If he was alone, his agility was suitable for roaming and fighting in the jungle.

But it's different now, he can't leave Sardis alone, so he must appear in everyone's sight.

Especially at the moment when the arrows are limited, the terrain that was originally beneficial to him like the jungle has become an obstacle for him, and countless tree trunks will block the arrows he shoots.

The front of the jungle was blocked by the enemy, and Mia could only retreat, toward the direction of General Tellea's tomb, which was also the direction of the high cliff on the river bank.

Fighting and retreating like this, Mia used arrows to force the pursuer's footsteps, and Sardis and Sardis had gradually retreated to the side of General Treya's tomb.

A distance further back is the high cliff.

If you continue to retreat, there will be no way to retreat.

Mia looked down at the quiver, and couldn't help frowning. There were less than ten arrows in the quiver.

In the beginning, because the opponent was unprepared for his archery skills, he was caught off guard, and he succeeded, killing several people in one go.

While fighting and retreating, he solved a few more people.

Now there are still seven or eight people who are chasing and killing them, and the remaining seven or eight people are all people with good skills, who have either avoided or cut off his arrows before.

Even if half of his companions died, the men and the others didn't flinch at all. They must be dead men who put life and death aside.

I just don't know who sent the dead soldiers.

Could it be the crown prince again?

……

No time to think about it, looking at the approaching enemy, Mia took a deep breath and made up her mind.

He glanced at Sardis and said, "No matter what happens, don't come out."

After finishing speaking, Mia dodged sideways from behind the stone wall, shot an arrow at the attacking enemy, and then quickly retreated behind the stone wall.

Immediately afterwards, he climbed up with both hands and turned over to the top of the tomb.

While everyone was still staring defensively at the side of the stone wall where he had shot arrows just now, the young man who had climbed up to the roof with a light figure was already condescending, raising his hand and counting arrows galloping out.

Another person fell to the ground in response.

The second arrow that followed viciously pierced a man's shoulder.

Occupying a condescending vantage point, Mia shot down two people one after another, and was about to take another bow and shoot arrows.

Suddenly a long spear whizzed towards him, and it was actually a soldier who blocked the arrow he shot, raised his hand and threw the long spear directly at him.

The sharp spear was coming so fiercely that one could almost hear its slamming sound as it pierced through the air.

At the critical moment, Mia dodged sideways and was forced to jump off the roof.

The tip of the gun brushed past him dangerously, with a hiss, the sleeve was torn open, and a deep bloodstain appeared on the boy's left arm.

Accompanied by blood splashing in the air, the sharp gun pierced heavily into the tree trunk behind with a bang.

The blood was flying in the air, and the dots of blood were reflected in the suddenly constricted pupils of Sardis behind the stone wall of the tomb.

His eyes were deeply reflected on the spear nailed to the trunk.

The spear was thrown so hard that after it hit the tree trunk, the barrel of the spear was still vibrating slightly and making a low buzzing sound.

Sardis didn't dare to think about it, if the gun penetrated Miya's body...

What a familiar scene this is.

It was the same five years ago.

At that time, Treya sent someone to kill him, and in the dark night, he and Mia staggered and fled in the dark jungle.

He remembered the pale side cheeks of Mia who was pulling him forward at that time, and the trembling fingers that were holding him tightly.

At that time, he thought, he must become very strong, very strong.

No matter when, he will never make Mia feel scared again.

But what an irony, when the past scene was repeated, the person he wanted to protect was still risking his life to protect him, and he still couldn't do anything!

...can't do it?

Ah.

How could it not be possible!

A sword pierced his thigh, and the sharp tingling sensation awakened his drowsy brain from the poison.

Sardis opened his eyes, his strange eyes had turned crimson due to bloodshot eyes.

Clenching the sword in his hand, he turned around and rushed out of the stone wall.

…………

When the sword wind hit, Mia raised her hand suddenly, and used her bow to hold the sharp sword that was coming towards him.

The huge force made his arm, which was about to go all out because of continuous shooting, tremble.

He took a deep breath and pushed the opponent back with all his strength.

Seizing the gap of this second, he suddenly drew an arrow from his back and set the bow, and shot one arrow.

The man who swung his sword again had blood gushing out of his forehead from the arrow, and he fell face up to the sky.

Before Mia had time to catch her breath, a long spear roared from one side.

It just so happened that at the moment when he was exhausted, he could no longer dodge, and saw that the sharp spear point was about to pierce his chest from the side——

The silver-white long sword suddenly protruded from the oblique ground, and the blade collided violently with the tip of the roaring spear.

The impact of the iron blade blasted a string of sparks in the air.

The sharp spear was thrown away by the long sword, and the tip of the spear was bent, forcing it to slide past Mia's side.

When Mia came back to her senses, she saw that familiar figure appearing in front of his eyes.

The bright sunlight scorched the stone ground of this land, and Sardis held a long sword and protected Miya behind him.

He pursed his lips tightly and didn't let out a muffled sound of pain.

If you just look at the back, his condition seems to be much better than before.

But Mia, who was very close to Sardis, could clearly see the blond hair on Sardis's cheeks soaked in cold sweat, and the traces of blue blood vessels in the pale skin on the side of his neck.

Another pair of eyes were even more bloodshot, almost red.

Apparently, although the antidote pill had a little effect, making Sardis's body a little more relaxed than before, but in such a short period of time, his condition was still extremely bad.

He was able to stand here by relying on his strong willpower.

"Sadi, I told you not to come out..."

Before Mia finished speaking, Sardis raised his sword and split the attacking spear again.

He took a deep look at Mia, his voice hoarse.

"How could I be protected by you like this, and you clearly agreed that I would protect you."

That look made Mia's half-sentence stuck in his throat, and the stubbornness and unwillingness in Sardis' eyes made him not know what to say for a while.

The next second, Sardis suddenly raised his head.

He looked at the man who stabbed Miya with a sword, his eyes were terribly bright.

He raised his hand and dragged Mia behind him, he raised his hand to catch the falling sword blade, and then raised his foot to kick the opponent away fiercely.

The force was so fierce that he kicked the person directly onto the stone wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"It's just a mob, a bunch of trash who can only do evil."

Sardis held his head high. Although his handsome face was extremely pale, his power remained undiminished.

He glanced at the enemy, the sharp light bursting out of the strange-colored pupils was frightening.

He proudly said: "This kind of guy, how could he be your opponent."

Mia was taken aback, then laughed.

He said, "Exactly."

As he spoke, he bent his bow and set his arrow again, looking sharply ahead.

…………

………………

The sun was already setting in the sky.

The sun was shining on the earth, and that bloody fight was drawing to a close.

One after another corpses lay on the ground, extending from the distant jungle to General Tellea's tomb, and from the tomb to the vicinity of the cliff.

Under the fiery red sunset, the blood soaked the grass one after another.

It can be seen that the battle was fierce.

On the rocky ground that had not yet reached the cliff but was already close to it, two young men sat on it, their bodies stained with blood mixed with dust, looking very embarrassed.

At the end of a fierce battle, both of them were panting heavily without bothering to speak.

Even though they were in extreme distress, among the fallen corpses on this piece of land, only the two of them were still alive.

Mia raised her head, her wet pale golden hair scattered in front of his eyes.

Tiny beads of sweat fell from his eyes along the tips of his hair, and a little fell into his eyes, making his vision even more blurred.

He gasped with his mouth open, and it took him a while to calm down his chest that was about to explode.

He raised his hand and looked down.

Both sore and numb arms trembled slightly due to exhaustion, especially the wound on his left arm, which bled a lot, staining most of his lower arm red.

It's really...he has reached the final limit, and now he can't even lift his arms.

The young man gasped for breath.

Fortunately, he and Sardis survived in the end.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at the people around him.

Sardis' condition was even worse than his, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, even his lips were pale.

The sweat-soaked blond hair stuck to his cheeks. Although there was no such a large wound on Mia's left arm, it was also covered in bruises.

In retrospect, Mia had never seen Sardis in such a state of embarrassment.

Especially when he thought of Sardis's proud posture like a lion on weekdays, and then looked at the man in front of him in a mess, he couldn't help laughing.

This smile caused another small wound on his cheek, causing him to twitch the corner of his mouth in pain, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch it.

At this time, Sardis, who was panting for a long time, also opened his eyes.

Like Mia, the first thing he looked at after opening his eyes was Mia.

When he saw Mia raising his hand to touch the bloodstain on his cheek, he grabbed Mia's hand, and then leaned over to lick the bloodstain.

Under Mia's stare, he said, "Disinfect."

Mia laughed angrily at this sentence.

"You are already poisonous, and you still sterilize me?"

Sardis tilted his head and did not answer, but looked at Mia's earring and said, "The thread of your earring is about to break, go back and replace it for you."

Mia lost her temper by him, didn't bother to say anything more, put her hands on the ground, shook several times before barely standing up.

"Let's go, go back, and find a doctor to detoxify you as soon as possible."

The physical strength has really been completely exhausted, and the mere movement of standing up made Mia gasp for several breaths.

Sardis sat on the ground and looked up at him.

"Can't stand up."

Mia looked down, startled.

Sardis's right thigh was pierced with a big cut at some point, and blood is still oozing out at this moment, and the blood against Sardis' pale lips is even more frightening to see.

Mia carefully helped Sardis up, and Sardis leaned on Mia weakly but with peace of mind.

The wind blows across the grass, and the waves of green grass undulate on the ground.

Mia helped Sardis walk down.

However, at this moment, a dark figure slowly came out from behind the tomb not far ahead.

It was a tall man. He raised his head and looked at the two with a pair of dark eyes.

The moment she met the man's eyes, Mia's heart beat violently, and there was an uproar in her heart.

this person--

Although compared to five years ago, she was much thinner and her face was much more gloomy, but Mia recognized her immediately.

Five years ago, it was this man wearing brass armor who stood beside General Tellea, looking at himself suspiciously.

Five years ago, the same man threw himself and Sardis into the sea with his own hands.

General Treya's... confidant knight?

Why is he here?

"Why would you..."

In the middle of speaking, Mia paused.

In the blink of an eye, the old butler's complicated expression suddenly asked Sardis to sacrifice to Treya, poisoning Sardis' food... that scene flashed in his mind, At this moment, everything was finally connected together, which made him wake up in an instant.

"You arranged this trap?"

An incredible idea welled up in Mia's mind.

"Are you... are you trying to avenge General Treya?"

Sardis leaned on Mia, he didn't say anything, just looked at the man blankly, his father's knight in the past.

The knight holding a broad sword stepped out of the shadow of the jungle, with a thin face and gloomy eyes.

Although his figure is still as tall as it was a few years ago, he is no longer as heroic as he was when he was a knight.

At this moment, he is like a shadow hidden in the darkness, his eyes cannot see the slightest light, they are cold, like a pair of inorganic glass beads.

"If you hadn't saved Sardis back then, nothing would have happened."

He looked at Mia with cold eyes.

"You were also one of those who killed Lord Tellea."

Gently flicking the broad sword in his hand, the man walked slowly towards the two of them.

He said: "Since you saved him at the beginning, let's become a sacrifice to Lord Tellea together with him today."

…………

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

The wind whistled from the sky, crossed the earth, passed over the royal city, and passed over the empty and quiet general's mansion in the royal city.

An old man with white hair sat in the courtyard, staring blankly at the familiar surroundings.

He has stayed here since he was a child, growing up with General Tellea's father.

Later, when he was young, he watched Young Master Tellea grow up little by little, becoming a handsome and mighty man like his father.

He watched the young master get married and have children, and watched with relief the young master Sardis growing up in the mansion...

...Little Master...

He has always believed that the young master is the child of Master Tellea, no matter how many rumors there are outside, he has always believed so firmly.

That's why he has been sticking to this mansion. He thought that one day, the young master would return home.

however……

Tears welled up from the old man's cloudy eyes.

He never knew that the peaceful and peaceful days in the past ten years turned out to be just phantoms like bubbles.

He never knew that the truth was so cruel.

Everything he believed in was a lie.

Now he is the only one left sitting here alone in this gorgeous mansion.

Nothing.

Nothing was left.

He sat quietly in the courtyard.

He remembered the scene where the old master who grew up with him entrusted Young Master Tellea to him before he died.

Think of the tall and straight figure of Young Master Tellea in this courtyard.

Then he thought of Sardis... that little child sitting alone by the pool.

'The young master is innocent...'

'innocent?He was born as evidence of guilt. '

'Without his presence, Lord Tellea would not have ended up in such a lonely grave. '

'He should have died, five years ago.If so, nothing will happen. '

'He is the root of all evil. '

'As long as he exists, the general will be nailed to the pillar of shame. '

'Only by using his life as a sacrifice can the adult's shame be washed away and the adult can rest in peace from now on! '

Half a month ago, the cold words of the knight who came to him suddenly still lingered in his ears.

The old man closed his eyes, tears were running down his face full of gorge.

He raised his dry hand tremblingly, and drank the water in the glass.

Soon, black and red blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and the old man fell on the stone table, swallowing his last breath.

…………

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

The quiver behind him was already empty, so when the knight rushed forward with one step, he slashed down heavily with his sword.

Mia reflexively raised the bow in her left hand, trying to block the sword——

Click.

The broad sword was too sharp, and the bow was overwhelmed, and it broke at the sound.

The sharp sword that split the bow continued to swoop down, and under Mia's astonished gaze, a long bloodstain was obliquely cut across his chest.

Blood splattered on half the cheek of the knight who slashed the sword.

The broken bow fell to the ground, and the young man fell heavily on the ground, closing his eyes, and seemed to be silent.

The knight took a step forward mercilessly, raising his hand to pierce Mia's chest with a sword.

There was a clanging sound.

A sword suddenly protruded from the slope, forcing the knight's sword that was about to pierce Mia's chest into the air.

The knight squinted to one side, and saw Sardis clenching his teeth and holding his sword firmly.

His already gloomy eyes became colder and colder.

He raised his foot and impatiently kicked Mia, who in his eyes was equivalent to a dead person.

Mia was kicked and turned over, but still lying quietly on the stone floor, the blood oozing from his chest stained the ground under him red.

He closed his eyes and didn't see any movement for a long time.

Sardis wanted to look at Mia in panic, but he was slashed with a sword.

He instinctively raised his sword to block it.

Accompanied by the sound of clanging blades, he tried his best to block the knight's sword, but his tense arms couldn't stop shaking.

In the fierce battle just now, both he and Mia were already exhausted, and it was difficult for them to even stand, and they couldn't continue fighting at all.

What's more, the knight in front of him is even more powerful than anyone just now.

One sword after another slashed heavily at Sardis.

He was forced to retreat continuously.

"You should have died long ago."

"It would have been dead five years ago."

"If you die then, the general can live."

The knight said, every word is like a knife, every sentence pierces the heart.

He stared straight at Sardis with sinister eyes, showing undisguised hatred and hatred.

He said coldly: "Why don't you die—"

The last sentence came to an end, as if he was tired of the cat-and-mouse game at the moment, the knight slashed down fiercely with his sword.

Sardis, who was gritting his teeth and struggling to hold on, couldn't hold on any longer, and the long sword in his hand flew out, heavily thrusting into the ground beside him, and his people also fell to the ground.

He fell to the ground, and blood flowed down from his slashed forehead, staining half of his cheek red.

The knight stood in front of him, condescending, with the point of the sword stretched forward resting on his throat.

But Sardis didn't realize it, he just stared blankly at Mia who lay motionless on the ground on the other side, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and his eyes dimmed little by little.

Seeing that Sardis didn't respond, the knight frowned, and moved the tip of the sword forward, piercing the skin of his throat lightly, a little blood oozing out, but Sardis still didn't seem to see his throat. The blade in front of him was like a sword, without even looking at the knight who controlled his life, he tried hard to stand up with his body supported.

But he failed. His body, which was deeply poisoned and bruised, didn't even have the strength to finally stand up, and the body that had just supported halfway fell to the ground again.

He took a breath, lying on the ground, slowly raised his head, his gaze was still fixed on the place where Mia was.

Mia lay quietly on the grass, motionless.

At this moment, the last light in Sardis's eyes disappeared, leaving nothing but darkness.

He propped up his body and didn't try to stand up again, just lying on the ground with his elbows on the ground, and moved forward with difficulty, as if he wanted to crawl towards Mia like this.

The knight frowned again, he raised his foot and kicked Sardis flat and flew out.

The place where they were was not far from the cliff, and the knight's kick just happened to kick Sardis towards the edge of the cliff.

The strong inertia caused Sardis to roll two more times after landing, almost reaching the edge of the cliff.

Just a little bit, and it will tumble down.

The severe pain in his abdomen made Sardis curl up sideways on the ground, he opened his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He raised his head, but his eyes were still not looking at the knight, but still staring directly at Mia's direction.

He turned a blind eye to the knight walking towards him, and while coughing blood intermittently, he propped up his upper body again, obviously wanting to crawl towards Mia again.

The black metal mask worn on the left eye fell to the ground with a clatter, revealing Sardis's pitch-black eye.

The knight who had just walked in front of Sardis looked at the black eyes, and the hostility in his eyes flashed. He stepped heavily on Sardis's head and stomped his face hard on the ground.

The little side of Sardis' cheek was trampled to the point of bloodstains on the rock, and his long blond hair was messily scattered on the ground.

He clenched his teeth tightly and didn't let out a muffled grunt.

The knight took a deep breath to calm down his anxious mood, let go of his feet, and took a step back.

He saw Sardis lying quietly on the ground, motionless, as if he had given up everything, with a blank expression.

Four years ago, he watched General Treya die on the battlefield with his own eyes.

Everyone believed that the general died in battle, at the hands of the enemy.

Only he knows the truth about the general's death.

Over the years, he has been regretting it.

If he hadn't missed five years ago and failed to kill Sardis, things would never have developed to such a point, and the general would never have died in that way, and in the end even his most cherished wife died was later taken away.

All these years, presumably the general's soul has been restless.

Now, he wants to make up for the mistakes he made five years ago, and sacrifice the guy with the blood of the king who took his wife as a sacrifice in front of the general's tomb, so that the general's soul can rest in peace.

After that, he would kill himself in front of the general's tomb and follow the general.

The knight stared at Sardis under his feet with icy eyes. If Sardis hadn't left the royal city for the northern border suddenly, he wouldn't have waited until now.

He raised the sharp sword in his hand, and his eyes fell on Sardis's pale side neck.

The sharp sword reflected a dazzling cold light in the sun.

He thought, my lord general, everything should end at this very moment!

……

Sardis lay on the ground with a numb expression, his eyes were dead silent, and there was no glimmer of light, as if he was drowning in darkness.

'You deserved to die long ago. '

'Why don't you die—'

The persuasive question seemed to echo in my ears.

Everyone wants him dead.

Yes, all of them.

It was true for Treya back then, and it is also true for the so-called blood relatives now, as well as this person...that old man...even his mother once said that she never wanted him to be born in this world.

No one ever wanted him alive.

And the only person in this world who wanted him to live and cared about him had also left him.

For him in this world, there is nothing worth nostalgic about.

So forget it.

So be it.

If everyone wants him to die...

The eyelashes stained with dust and blood were drooping, and the strange-colored eyes, which were so dim that they could no longer see the slightest glimmer, slowly closed, waiting for the coming of death.

He thought, maybe on the way to the underworld, he still has time to catch up with Mia's footsteps, and he can go on with Mia...

At the moment when Sardis' eyes were about to close, the familiar figure that suddenly appeared in his eyes caused his pupils to shrink violently.

He gasped for breath and opened his eyes wide.

The boy's slender body staggered towards this side.

With his head down, he could hardly hear his breathing.

Like a ghost, walking quietly.

His entire chest was already stained red with blood, and it was still bleeding out continuously.

With every step, a few drops of blood dripped onto the rocks.

Wherever he walked, there were bloodstains.

Mia's footsteps were staggering to the extreme, as if she would fall to the ground in the next step and never get up again, which made people tremble with fear.

But he stumbled, but insisted on coming over.
