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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibnkQQIVBF

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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgk7PwAQkE
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEtwBQwfD7
「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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdpHXUkAkl
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj9PQutRsP
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cPRLdO71a
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0mcY4ZHyF
當然……精靈族也不例外。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMuPg5duOa
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Sq6faJuV
轟隆！166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4jRpXwPlq
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd00CVQvbq
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6jyBm2aOp
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScKVmav06C
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq1yG17GAY
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXuND4id3b
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8iD2WgIUr
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gXYKgNz5T
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis16bg5UsY
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaCMBGmePU
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6KH615lYr
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2w9PQnjOr
她以為她已經忘了。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf8j0d5vow
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7drQs13TH
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZca9cVMLDG
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEGZ837lGH
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliJC7npeDG
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53M19NtE6c
可過去經歷的場景每日每夜、不厭其煩地造訪伊德里爾。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwhZTF1kHd
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72uE0zEsJ4
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH5Dk9fgv9
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBop0gyxelU
「絕不能重蹈覆轍，我一定要守護好王國。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWLYIHYMOR
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yL5gjjO9D
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HDQQq6R2x
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD8KYfSlvC
咿呀……166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVyz8fUzJm
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPodiRA8IMi
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kS3BlYv1h
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WYNRr1bRr
「是誰？」伊德里爾連忙將被子撫平，將它覆蓋於腰上。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej7Ln3urHh
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwePpSdVF1
片刻，從暗處緩緩現身的是──端著熱茶的阿特里奇。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QneKcmBDn
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpbJkhvl2L
「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。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY05enuhoG
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemfOIJyGqO
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsDh0miIZX
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkx85W9jC9
不過從白瓷茶杯飄散出來的薰衣草香可知──她失敗了。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqzoficirm
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoCtUlhVhe
「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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7JBntFcon
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJVu7mQYl6
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f4HhWVatn
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoqHXCvHfS
「怎麼了？」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGjODHB0LF
「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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAyVfIVrbn
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVedl3rY2C8
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……」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvB93T4JHY
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUongNiHcGC
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Tel8gB4l
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHNqMSPw23
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WN60UI1sI
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bv268AKJ9
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uwP1pQJXL
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo6DqEnhSP
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。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBHZ85Zeiv
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz702IM2ID
阿特里奇輕點頭，正想取回茶杯時──166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzz6QWpLUf
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjc0LgYUpj
轟隆！166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRqHESXecb
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapSeztOrh3
又是一聲足以驚天動地的雷響，雨也更大了。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDz01P0JnA
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVisq58ElR
「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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDgPKRDyx4
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQYbIs6iCQ
阿特里奇將茶杯擺回茶碟，立馬問道：「您沒事？」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0r2wDLqjg
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKKi0pHTK3
「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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp0aiDXOJZ
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LLZhs4mHn
「您害怕打雷？」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mgebDgQRj
「……才沒有。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT08X9vB2R9
「您在發抖。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7n8sJEuWB
「只、只是被嚇到了……！」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg3SKMSjd7
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc1wFbGqET
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TvrlXtmwQ
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdu8woYbM7
「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？」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI9t7jM3iY
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXdtmpujN1
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKbXYbB93g
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31SIhqeklh
「……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……」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyBeMrFh6B
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q6wrgnW2r
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizts1XqDLC
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfiCXHANOw
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBASuRHEFN
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQBFQ6w07y
「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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41XKlG364Z
「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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNKx8o5rco
「這是我第一次這麼做……應該沒有弄痛您才是。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFaA1DjKBC
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xzSut9aFK
「噗……哈哈……！」伊德里爾掩住嘴笑著，眼角甚至冒出了些許淚水。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiteubYWX1T
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TsYd7WTVP
「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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtiPwgEf0N
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PsOdN95tF
「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。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoIlBiMjwL
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa6twrY8n0
「能替您消除壓力那當然是最好，那麼我先回房……」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJlroHDniw
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigoUWRDL7T
「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？」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagjuoZDyFl
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEQlphxCtn
「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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLVLw0phIN
「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。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gJRNJHpkO
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGjRIEAM2W
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？」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyB74AHEIY
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vmiNYzQGl
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGcJHTWajc
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrZvmHcTZi
「……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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL77Q60dGF
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。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXbV2gv1gf
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GfOFQ87Lo
「我會待在這裡、待在您身旁，直到您安心入眠為止。」166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXXcSmBJqs
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFIwqr6kVi
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJoPz4ZbOe
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT0jStiHWK
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。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnvOdYpUZG
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF8rtnD31N
那日，是伊德里爾有史以來睡得最安穩的一天。166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Djxh76Og
