The royal city, which is about to enter summer, is much hotter than before. Although it is in the morning, the hot sun is shining on the earth, and even the wind blowing is hot.

The brown-haired general raised his head, squinting at the hot sun.

The sun shines on his bronze skin formed by long-term wind and sun.

"After staying in northern Xinjiang for a long time, I almost can't adapt to the climate of Wangcheng."

After all, at this time, northern Xinjiang is still very cool.

Nadia said with emotion, then turned her head and looked at the two little guys who came to see her off.

No, it can no longer be said that it is two little guys.

Both of them have officially come of age, and will be adults in the future.

Nadia held the reins of the steed, and his subordinates were waiting for him on the far side of the continent.

The annual debriefing has been completed, and after staying in Wangcheng for a while, he set off to return to northern Xinjiang today.

His eyes swept over Mia and Sardis who were standing side by side, and then looked at Faer standing behind Mia, with a look of relief in his eyes.

They've all grown into great young men.

Well……

Although Xiao Shaoji seems to be a little...

"Don't just eat desserts, eat more meat, and you can grow taller."

Nadia exhorted Mia, reaching out her hand while talking, habitually wanting to touch Mia's head.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Sardis on the side raised his hand to stop him in half.

Nadia clicked her tongue and withdrew her hand angrily.

Among the three, only Xiao Shaoji is still as cute as before, and the other two little bastards are not very good.

I just hope they don't spoil Xiao Shaoji.

He was so slandering in his heart that he didn't notice that when Sardis raised his hand to stop him, because the hand was stretched in the direction of Mia, Mia almost moved slightly reflexively, as if trying to avoid it, but In the end he hesitated and did not move.

"Your Highness, the bigger you are, the more narrow-minded you are."

"So what?"

"........."

The other party admitted so frankly, but instead choked Nadia.

He shook his head speechlessly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that, when are you going back to Northern Xinjiang?"

Sardis glanced at Mia beside him, and then replied: "I won't go back in a short time."

"Really, it seems that I have to work hard alone for a while."

Nadia scratched her brown hair.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

"Wait a moment."

Nadia, who had just turned her head, turned back again, looking at Mia who stopped him with questioning eyes.

"You lower your head."

Although Nadia didn't know what Mia was going to do, but seeing the young man with his head up, his clear blue eyes looking at him, the way he tilted his head slightly was very cute, and the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.

He obediently leaned over and lowered his head towards Mia.

"I've officially passed my bar mitzvah, so there's one thing I can do now."

The boy smiled at him, then raised his hand.

The white fingertips lightly touched Nadia's eyebrows, drawing a rune in the void.

Nadia was taken aback, and then heard the boy's clear voice ringing in her ears.

"Sepul will guard you, and danger and death will be far away from you."

priestly blessing.

Only formal priests who have passed the rite of passage can bless others.

But it is said that this kind of blessing will take away the blessings given to him by the gods, so every priest will not give this kind of blessing easily.

At this moment, a warm current gushed out from the bottom of Nadia's heart quickly, wrapped around his chest, and flowed through his internal organs.

He laughed, and suddenly stretched out his hands, hugged Mia in his arms, and rubbed Mia's hair vigorously with one hand.

"Don't get hurt again in the future, young master."

He whispered something in Mia's ear, and the words contained a gentleness that was completely inconsistent with his rough appearance like a brown bear.

After finishing speaking, he let go of his hand abruptly, got on his horse, and ran away.

The above three steps are completed in one second.

After galloping the horse for a few steps, Nadia suddenly stopped again, turned her head and raised her eyebrows at Sardis, with a very proud look on her face.

He even raised his hand and tapped his forehead with a naked show off.

After seeing the displeasure in Sardis' staring eyes, the childish general laughed and waved to Mia, and then rode away happily and contentedly.

Mia also laughed, raised her hand and waved to Nadia, watching him lead a group of cavalry disappear into the dust.

Fael went to the other side of the tree and led the horse tied there.

Taking advantage of no one else around, Mia looked at Sardis and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you planning to stay in the royal city when you come back this time?"

According to what Nadia said just now, Sardis has plans to go back to northern Xinjiang.

"...will stay in Wangcheng for a long time."

Sardis replied like this.

A very long time?

In other words, there are plans to return to northern Xinjiang?

why?

Mia was thinking suspiciously, and Sardis suddenly came over, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice: "If I'm not here, how can I guard you?"

Heart skipped by the ambiguous tone and slightly raised eyebrows, Mia looked around in a panic, afraid that someone would hear what Sardis said.

After confirming that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his face away angrily, and stopped looking at Sardis.

Just at this time, Faer led the horse over.

Everyone got on their horses and ran straight to the king's city.

…………

After seeing off Nadia, it was lunch time when we returned to the Shaosai.

When Sardis walked into the room, Mia had already sat down and started eating without looking at him.

He smiled, walked to Mia and sat down.

As before, he was very close to Mia, almost shoulder to shoulder.

Mia didn't feel anything before, but that time, when Sardis sat down next to him, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He moved secretly to the other side, a little farther away, and then continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

Just picked up a piece of grilled chicken, suddenly, a cherry was handed to him.

The cherry was fresh and dripping with a drop of dew, and it looked delicious.

"Someone sent it to me just now, so I took it over."

Sardis said with a smile, and handed the cherry to Mia's mouth.

"Try to see if it's sweet or not."

The bright red cherry has reached the edge of his mouth, and he can bite it with just one mouthful.

The long-standing habit made Mia subconsciously want to open her mouth, but she pressed her lips together again.

He moved his face back a little, then put down the grilled chicken, raised his hand to take the cherry from Sardis's hand, and then put it in his mouth.

This kind of behavior is too deliberate and blunt, obviously trying to distance himself from Sardis on purpose, Mia doesn't know what Sardis will think.

He was a little uneasy, and he didn't dare to look up at the other person, so he took a random bite of the cherry.

In the next second, his eyes narrowed completely.

very sour!

The sour taste spread in his mouth, making him speechless.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Sardis couldn't help being startled.

"very sour?"

He asked, approaching Mia, lowered his head, and opened his mouth to take a bite of the cherry in Mia's hand.

Seeing that Sardis's lips were about to fall, Mia's mind suddenly recalled the scene where Sardis' lips always touched her fingertips when she bit off the food in her hand, and the light-colored thin lips last night. The lips brushed against the touch of his own lips again and again...

His cheeks burned instantly, and his hands shrank suddenly.

Sardis opened his mouth and took a bite.

He raised his head and looked at Mia.

His eyes were indifferent, and he couldn't see any emotion, but he was looking at Miya with unusually deep eyes.

Uncomfortable being stared at by Sardis, Mia tried to explain.

"It's too sour, it's not tasty, so I think it's better for you not to eat it..."

Sardis didn't say anything, turned around and started eating.

This meal left Mia feeling overwhelmed.

From the beginning to the end, there was only the sound of the two chewing food, Sardis didn't say a word, and Mia didn't know how to speak.

Since knowing that Sardis treats him..., he doesn't know how to get along with Sardis.

Sardis's actions towards him were so intimate, he didn't think there was anything wrong before, but now that he knew what Sardis was thinking, the kind of intimate behavior that looked like a couple made him feel uncomfortable all over his body. comfortable.

Therefore, as soon as Sardis approached him, he reflexively wanted to avoid it.

He knew that his behavior was a bit hurtful to Sardis.

But he himself was at a loss, especially when he thought of the way Sardis looked at him, he didn't know what to do.

Mia thought so depressingly that she couldn't eat any more, put down the food, and sighed while wiping her hands with a wet towel.

At this time, Sardis, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly leaned towards him, caressed his cheek with his outstretched right hand, and pressed his thumb against the corner of his lips.

The scene of Sardis kissing him again and again last night flashed in his mind.

Mia was startled.

His confused mind didn't have time to think, so he raised his hand and pushed hard.

Perhaps because he was defenseless against him, Sardis was pushed back by his upper body.

Mia saw the astonishment in the eyes of Sardis looking at him, and at the same time, he also saw the blue sauce on Sardis' thumb.

...So, Sardis didn't want to kiss him just now, but was just helping him wipe the traces left on the corners of his lips like before?

Seeing Sardis staring at him steadily, Mia was at a loss for a moment.

His overreaction... Isn't it a little too much?

This kind of reaction is almost like disgusting and repelling the other party.

Mia knows.

Although Sardis looks tough on the outside, his mind has been very sensitive since he was a child. I drove him away from the young priest last night, and today he continues to avoid him and even act against him.

These things will definitely hurt the sensitive Sardis, but he just insisted not to show it in front of him...

Thinking of this, Mia couldn't help but feel guilty.

He looked up at Sardis and opened his mouth to say something.

However, before he had time to speak, Sardis, who was looking at him fixedly, suddenly laughed out loud.

"So cute."

He laughed, as if talking to himself.

"It's even cuter than I imagined."

"Honestly, Mia, I'm a little angry," he said, "but in a way, I'm happy."

"what?"

"You reacted so strongly because you cared too much about me, didn't you?"

"……what?"

Sardis leaned on the pillow, tilted his head, and rested his cheek with one hand.

Leaning in a languid pose, locks of blond hair fell from his bared wheaten chest.

He raised his chin slightly and raised the corners of his lips, still the same as when he was a boy, with a proud smile on his face.

"You care too much about me, so you pay attention to my every move all the time."

He smiled a little smugly.

"You're starting to look at me like a lover, so if I get closer to you, it will make you blush and your heart beat."

"…………what?"

"Actually, you also like me, but you just don't know it, or take it as a friendship."

"???"

Under Mia's ignorant eyes, Sardis leaned over, stretched out his hand, and pinched Mia's chin.

"Mia, I know very well that your eyes have been chasing me since we met."

Of course he wouldn't say it, the reason why he knew this was because he had been looking at Miya too.

"I'm hurt, and you're more worried than anyone."

"I have no news, you are so anxious to run to northern Xinjiang."

"I'm in danger, you risked your life to save me."

"When I am by your side, you will show a look of peace of mind."

"If I become stronger, you will be very happy."

"For me, you can fight against the crown prince without hesitation."

"So you still don't understand? From before to now, the person you care about most has always been me."

Sardis pinched Mia's chin domineeringly, and smiled confidently.

"I've always thought that the process of patiently waiting for you to wake up is a beautiful process."

"It's nice to see you panicking because you care about me."

This kind of Mia, who was panicked by her approach but forced to be calm, and even secretly worried about herself, was like a frightened little squirrel. That appearance was so cute that it made one's heart itch.

"But I really don't like it when you don't let me touch you."

Sardis looked at Mia tenderly, and said, "Although I have enough patience to wait for you to slowly wake up, Mia, I still hope you can quickly face up to the fact that 'you like me too'. "

Mia whose chin was pinched: "..."

I'm not.

I do not have.

Don't talk nonsense!
