暴雨伴隨著夜幕降臨王國已經有十來日了。雷聲與閃電不甘示弱，一聲聲雷鳴讓人震耳欲聾。如水晶般透徹的雨珠大滴大滴地砸向玻璃窗，狂風在外頭咆哮，彷彿下一秒便能將窗戶擊個粉碎。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH9D9DWl1p
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72edjHc05J
伊德里爾的寢宮裡僅有的光源只剩床頭櫃的上的圓形檯燈，米黃色的微光默默奉獻著它的光芒。除了照亮平常睡覺的那一側外，其餘的地方全像是被刷上了黑色油漆，無法看清。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIArarWmI5
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW4eEEt900
「哈啊……」伊德里爾換完白色連身裙睡衣，坐在梳妝台前將置於胸前的髪辮解開，隨後走向窗台把窗簾唰的一聲拉上。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAFH2GpzkC
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzkd2lo3Gl
恐懼──是與生俱來的一種心理反應，並且在人類的七情六欲中佔有一席之地。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttR5FbwybI
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQC6SktWu9
當然……精靈族也不例外。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOup83Xozdk
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQr53yUuq2
轟隆！214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0AZlD9Ky2
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8FcnwS2Jp
一道閃電劃破了夜色帷幕，光亮轉瞬即逝。而炸雷的聲響卻嚇得伊德里爾如膽小的老鼠般竄進厚重的被子裡。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXscN7eCqh
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIU6O3RAEC
在被窩的保護之下，伊德里爾能減少雷聲對自己的傷害。雖然精靈的尖耳相較於人類更為靈敏，但也十分脆弱。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgJtND5Svv
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzRx2r1Y8Z
伊德里爾將被子牢牢裹住自己，只露出一顆頭再度朝窗戶的方向看去。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAr0olO7Vc
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhay6BkHHZo
似曾相似的情景在伊德里爾的腦中浮現──猛烈的大雨、響徹雲霄的轟雷、混亂的步伐、刺耳的金屬碰撞聲。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvqCF84EbV
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvlmuS7wQX
伊德里爾用顫抖的雙手摀住兩耳，弓起腿，將整張臉埋進了雙腿間。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U7CW4w6aw
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CDNKTx62Y
她以為她已經忘了。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm2IyK9HIt
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z4jrgIKfN
長壽對她來說如同攀附在全身的荊棘，而記憶就像是荊棘上的刺，兩者的共同點是──伊德里爾都沒辦法輕易擺脫。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6gJBsSV5v
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPbaCCnt67
好不容易找到了自己的容身之處，是一個和出生地相似、和平又幸福的國家。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy97TSGLEg
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujmN1GGDAz
可過去經歷的場景每日每夜、不厭其煩地造訪伊德里爾。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07T6O2IZQF
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJnk1LskCc
曾經侍奉過最終卻毀滅的王國在夢裡化作一場戲無止境地再演，夢魘伸出無數隻手將她束縛在前排的位子，令無法動彈的伊德里爾痛不欲生。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCgqzk5F3A
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOiSiyxTiu
「絕不能重蹈覆轍，我一定要守護好王國。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPn8WddZuK
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI6NfjGao2
這句話是在伊德里爾成為王國的祭司之前，於心中發過的誓言。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym0mNhFigZ
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hpgyfIrWJ
咿呀……214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0QIlzGVrL
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzFrXVgH0R
伊德里爾的耳朵抽動了一下，聽見似乎有人悄悄地推開了大門。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7LnISCW9m
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL5KS3as3v
「是誰？」伊德里爾連忙將被子撫平，將它覆蓋於腰上。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkOoSYFOJE
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAtKoUyenr
片刻，從暗處緩緩現身的是──端著熱茶的阿特里奇。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmY0N1BYbQ
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJPZTgzklc
「打擾您休息十分抱歉。」阿特里奇將托盤輕放於床頭櫃上。「王后殿下要我替您送來。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEzVlI9r1P
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc0s96XPCK
伊德里爾眼底閃過一絲驚訝。她以為在今早的茶會上，自己已經成功瞞過王后殿下連續好幾天徹夜未眠的事情。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxOUxjuZVy
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChULnPTMGT
不過從白瓷茶杯飄散出來的薰衣草香可知──她失敗了。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb2U6dEIy0
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJAfsNiwR0
「代我向王后殿下道謝。還有，也謝謝妳。」伊德里爾偏頭，給了阿特里奇一個欣慰的笑容。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG3zgpnGvT
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDGrmzR2r3
阿特里奇頜首，不過卻沒有立即離開的意思，赤瞳仍然直勾勾地盯著伊德里爾。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM08AQQgnh
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN3v8dcUZv
「怎麼了？」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcvamScjmO
「王后殿下要我親眼看著您把茶喝完。」阿特里奇將茶杯移到伊德里爾面前。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNo1XWouUY
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQaW44i40z
伊德里爾一怔，兩手接過捧起茶杯，一邊噘嘴把熱煙吹散一邊嘟囔「我又不是小孩子……」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4SZizcpNu
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jgsCUh9wp
鼻子湊近杯緣一聞，草香沿著鼻腔進入，散發著一股沁人心脾的芳香。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MWx7a7sGv
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1Zlc2ANyH
緊接著抬高杯緣緩緩飲下，杯中的液體輕輕地從咽喉滑入胃，讓伊德里爾緊繃的神經得以放鬆下來。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTAWxpX55B
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjXDQxXjAX
自接過茶杯後，阿特里奇的兩隻眼睛未曾離開過伊德里爾，像是耐心等候飼主下一步動作的小狗。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAny53CA5nv
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbtzSLvR0A
伊德里爾把飲盡後的杯底展現給一旁站直的白色大型犬看。「喝完了。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRgmzpFP3o
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJUL3gbXq3
阿特里奇輕點頭，正想取回茶杯時──214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1pgbuseXn
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE32fLEB06
轟隆！214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrCtmQSDG3
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHP20e7qae
又是一聲足以驚天動地的雷響，雨也更大了。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3Jpu08QdH
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkfJxbDi8w
「嗚……」伊德里爾反射性把耳朵再次覆住，嚇得連白瓷茶杯也顧不得。正當要直落地面時，阿特里奇即時接住了。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGAym9sQfW
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp6Rm5poSx
阿特里奇將茶杯擺回茶碟，立馬問道：「您沒事？」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Afjj718YO
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BcMDCUZyx
「我、我沒事……」與她說的話截然不同──伊德里爾緊閉雙眼，肩膀微微顫抖。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8GliuXXEC
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsVhw7QeTH
「您害怕打雷？」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD56z3QgZgI
「……才沒有。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3MrO0YD01
「您在發抖。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZigavkZww
「只、只是被嚇到了……！」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrYxBbmNWJ
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVnwLQt7kk
出於維持形象以及想要趕緊驅散逐漸上浮的羞恥感，伊德里爾做出了與平常些微不同的應答。只不過阿特里奇不以為意。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhVcpadD7z
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tnxXWQL4b
「擁有害怕的事物並不需要感到丟臉。」阿特里奇單膝跪地，仰望伊德里爾。「容我多嘴再問一遍，您沒事嗎？」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw3SncCwCz
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RRsikexR7
伊德里爾撐開眼皮，恰好對上了阿特里奇火紅的雙瞳，彷彿急迫地尋求問題的答案。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzshlFkWon
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOedwcW3lbI
「……不。」伊德里爾隱藏在體內深處的字句撬開了唇逃了出來。「我……我很害怕……」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaOFtHw7vR
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy68ZMedkjY
語畢，阿特里奇閉上眼像是在思考什麼，最後一邊說著「失禮了」一邊坐到伊德里爾左側。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcTCgVFSEM
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LKpXSzH4t
隨後，阿特里奇有些肢體不協調地伸手穿過伊德里爾的腰際，輕輕擁住了她。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyI9EE8Ljg
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWynjHJKrGs
「阿、阿特里奇……？」伊德里爾被這一系列的行為給愣住了，一時半會兒不敢輕舉妄動。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjuakBuUpO
「這是我聽公主殿下說最適合紓解壓力和情緒的方法。」阿特里奇小心翼翼地收回手。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEHBQtQmOf
「這是我第一次這麼做……應該沒有弄痛您才是。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fStyhRXcG
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3o2aRWTrc
「噗……哈哈……！」伊德里爾掩住嘴笑著，眼角甚至冒出了些許淚水。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PffqI83Jt
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6czNKCCfG
「伊德里爾大人？您在笑什麼？」阿特里奇面露疑惑，貌似對於伊德里爾越笑越高興感到不解。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43PFrHeS0j
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO3PEiFWMW
「哈哈……呼──」伊德里爾長舒一口氣，用食指抹去眼淚。「謝謝妳阿特里奇，我感覺好多了。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YA8j68zJK
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI42lnYMneA
「能替您消除壓力那當然是最好，那麼我先回房……」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B95vq3NsO
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3KyZHnrcN
「等等。」伊德里爾握住正要站起的阿特里奇的手。「夜也深了，要不妳今天就在我這裡休息吧？」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbn1gf4Rsi
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Qg1Nek9J
「這個……」阿特里奇感覺被握著的手力道越來越大，而做出此舉的人笑意更深。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l2fQOzT9c
「我明白了。不過……」阿特里奇瞥了一眼梳妝台的木製椅子。「我睡在那就夠了。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXss87za0s
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z5D6DApIu
伊德里爾眉梢下垂，像是一隻惹人憐愛的小貓。「不睡床上嗎？待會可能還有雷聲唷？」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoNNeJlVLM
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RcXlKyKdL
伊德里爾明白現在的狀況就像一位任性的小孩向母親索取想要的東西，只不過扮演母親的角色並不是自己，而是眼前撇頭不肯望向自己的白髮騎士。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbIotp2ew6
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7UMtu6BiH
「……您就別胡鬧了。」阿特里奇從伊德里爾的手上脫離掌控，將椅子拉近床邊後坐下。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4do8t1vfL
而後，阿特里奇又朝伊德里爾伸出右手。「請容我用這種方式代替擁抱陪著您。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jr34fDp4W
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFIssc2N8F
「我會待在這裡、待在您身旁，直到您安心入眠為止。」214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFiC21ZlBt
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwPigpLgyx
伊德里爾眨了眨眼，並把手掌輕覆於阿特里奇的。挪動身子平躺於床舖，最後闔上雙眼。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK71mt4K6w
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Vemsn09a
這份單純而直率的溫柔，任誰都不會想輕易放手的吧。伊德里爾在內心笑了笑。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwooPj0UOr
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOLZV487jz
那日，是伊德里爾有史以來睡得最安穩的一天。214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGO40IeB4t
