「有妳在的話，我們肯定能打造一個國泰民安的國家。」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdEE1Ykrcv
「我把她交給你們！求求你們！放過我和我的宮殿吧！」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGF64i0YPM
「妳根本就不是女神……而是會帶來毀滅的邪惡女巫！」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIwxLxaWEw
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kbDixzV59
「伊德里爾，妳為何仍然執迷不悟？」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPX7hFHwXY
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn6vBzzjoc
「不是的！我──！」伊德里爾猛然睜開眼皮，挺起腰桿，伸直手像是想抓住什麼人。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x3pzt9LLz
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcZeNfmqEk
由於過度使力，伊德里爾頓覺一陣頭暈目眩，自己的身體彷彿搖搖欲墜的吊橋。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc9Qw55xEW
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws39eDjXKA
她深吸一口，將肺部滿盈涼意的空氣，隨後一小點一小點吐出，試圖緩和方才的衝動。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj4ZqZdOTO
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwncwaEqON
綠湖般通透的雙瞳掃視周圍──身上不是穿著記憶中的禮服，而是連身睡衣。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5h2lkPzcn
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsjMPOaw4l
床單和枕頭貌似有被汗水浸濕的痕跡。潔白柔軟的棉被整齊地平鋪於腹部，窗簾也牢牢地掩住外頭的景色。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeodN6xK5N
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaTCfOtPrl
伊德里爾將兩指覆上太陽穴，接著順時針畫圓搓揉。她感覺如被針扎過那般頭痛欲裂，甚至連自己是如何換了衣物、躺上了床的印象也蕩然無存。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE5GmK94vT
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizNJBr8D6M
她闔上雙眼，在意識裡的記憶之海垂釣了良久，最後總算釣起了一塊畫面片段──阿特里奇接吻的轉瞬之間。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJOHHyRRok
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6Vx4eLH7p
羞愧如潮水般襲捲而來，紅暈染上了她白皙的側頰。兩隻手掌將捧住整張臉，像是想用微冷的手阻止因羞澀而導致的熱度繼續上升。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P9oCBczEq
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1STppUQzmA
肯定是那杯酒的錯！伊德里爾擰緊眉心，巴不得現在立刻使用時間回溯的魔法，倒轉到宴會前幾個小時。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RbkkwFSbN
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsIM7XR7QN
如此一來，不僅能請人稟告王后殿下由於身體不適，所以無法出席她的生日宴會，也不會喝下那杯使人意亂情迷的杯中物。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9BgyFmMGV
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj34x5ZhK6N
阿特里奇她……會記得嗎……？她不禁暗忖。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDCX7Qks9n
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzxQP2qaed
啪咔。眼角的餘光捕捉到半邊的宮門敞開了。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPeAsBX3tc
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzd4sX3d6L
亮眼的金黃髮梢從門縫中露出一小撮，碧眼緩緩地從門後冒出，似乎在窺探著宮內。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxw4OU7VDj
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXWUnbVnee
「伊……」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtItJA4FxPY
「伊德里爾！」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtotwXkQAZ
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAhlWJVaOM
銀鈴般的呼喚聲迴盪在宮中，帕米拉拎起緋紅色裙擺，噠噠噠地跑到床邊。尼爾則是把門輕輕帶上後，才慢慢走到帕米拉身旁。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp5HEdvHfY
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO7kNzpvGI
「妳終於醒了！我好擔心妳！」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzXSZLeWxg
「妳還好嗎……？」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj038F2kl7e
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtWe06KZtS
擔憂自己的問候此起彼落，模樣儼如兩隻飢腸轆轆的鳥兒，正焦急地向母鳥尋求餵食。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6BKXn1tws
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk5Zrk0Pkr
啪、啪。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VyXufT7rl
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9KLUH8KX6
伊德里爾輕拍了兩下掌心，打斷了兩人問話，同時也讓他們的視線聚集在自己身上。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdTekXuIf5
「孩子們，謝謝你們的擔心。」伊德里爾欣喜一笑。「不過我們還是一個一個來吧？像平時上課的時候一樣提問！」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKivdpjH9an
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpZTclBbNN
語落，帕米拉如同往常一樣堅定且迅速地舉起手。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYfAekdcgC
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRytGIVmL7
「我我我！」帕米拉纖細的前臂在半空中揮舞。「伊德里爾妳餓了嗎？渴了嗎？我去請人替妳送吃的過來好嗎！」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK45IdIMl0f
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqqaL9JzbT
「當然好呀，小甜心。」伊德里爾抬手輕揉帕米拉的髮絲，小公主笑顏逐開，接著一溜煙衝出寢宮。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiRIPbRlJg
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O0HCoINBB
這是伊德里爾最喜歡她的地方──直截痛快的行事風格。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kmx3IHvTA
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliG6zn3iQL
「伊、伊德里爾……」留在原地的尼爾怯生生地詢問：「身體……好一點了嗎……？」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bveXPtHqy
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbMBscO0BJ
「雖然不知道睡了多久，不過感覺比好多了。」伊德里爾輕笑。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6KIoeY1LB
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcueOXYgd4
小王子上下點了點頭，讓原本處於緊繃狀態的肩膀確確實實地放鬆下來。「太好了……」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbNeG45SVs
尼爾雖然不像他姐姐那般直率，但善良且富有同理心的他，是絕不會疏於關心的步驟。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8ivvasdpY
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9nYh1Dx7Q
「五天……」尼爾抬眸對視伊德里爾，濃綠的眼曈微動。「整整五天。」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSdNBhpayJ
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNdQKKVOQP
「五、五天？」伊德里爾倒抽一口氣。對她而言，這則消息並非好事。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEsUKCkpYa
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FnM7jPhP9
最近陷入深眠的次數愈來愈多，有時阿特里奇都得喚了好幾聲才會真正清醒過來。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9GfNMGWPH
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDca3Z1latD
伊德里爾心事重重地支手撐頭，向尼爾叮囑道：「以後……萬一我睡得太久的話，請你和小公主不論用何種方式，請一定、一定要叫醒我，好嗎？」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvQ1dcFgfT
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYHgllLfeS
尼爾明白隱藏在話語中的重要性，並說了「我會轉告姐姐」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtNXeMM53q
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3cGF0TUAv
「話說回來，阿特里奇去哪了？」按理說，此刻那名守護騎士應當要出現在眼前才是。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvFQrx9tyu
只見尼爾欲言又止的神情，伊德里爾便知在自己睡覺期間裡，估計發生了什麼事。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlFZa0mPNv
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH5w5Tlvx6
「阿特里奇她……她去了精靈之森。」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYkLTpmEXD
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbxl2i6i9T
伊德里爾一陣驚悸，本來好不容易恢復正常運作的腦袋，現在卻變成了茫然且不知所措的白紙，一下子什麼話也說不出來。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVCG6H6Qdb
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡounObdHBlm
「為……為什麼？」伊德里爾感覺自己的牙齒正不斷打顫。「她一個人嗎？是誰讓她去的……？」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxRcDU7PEs
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxyrnvioCy
「是的……而且是阿特里奇自願去的。她說那裡的泉水能讓伊德里爾更快好起來……」尼爾眉尾下彎，表露無奈。「但……」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AH99oSwBK
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDREgpXjbV
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeAClFsZeg
精靈之森……距離這兒騎馬過去最多也就三天，然而端看尼爾凝重的神情──很難不去聯想阿特里奇是否遭遇了困難。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkloR5IlZP
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG9snZ864y
況且最近聽聞越來越多的族人不喜歡人類踏入森林裡。尤其是那些打從一開始就不信任人類的精靈，他們認為人類是愚蠢無知且蠻橫無禮。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkFt2PLwuy
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggDjlSpa8D
據說他們甚至會無聲無息地除掉任何一位入侵者。不分種族、不分性別。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu4Ko74O5g
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcoyjtnDc9
精靈之森的泉水不僅是精靈長壽的要素之一，也是某種特效藥，能使人快速消除自身的異狀。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq6saymaO6
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRLTQAOJkZ
那個笨蛋騎士……伊德里爾雙手揪緊棉被。心臟像是被人掐住般無法正常跳動，上排齒彷彿快要將下唇咬出鮮血。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2UrXYgwuK
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72Sb1Y6Pgo
再怎麼樣也不能一個人去啊……伊德里爾心裡焦急如熱鍋上的螞蟻。難以平復的情緒匯聚成一團熱氣流，在她的體內不間斷循環。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPdyDMZYfp
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1TOuPAUjd
「我……我去外面幫妳看看阿特里奇回來了沒有……！」伊德里爾抱有同樣心情的尼爾，向伊德里爾簡單行禮後，快步離開宮中。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL11A5Z1TJ1
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJia1X5Hudk
伊德里爾閉眼且雙手交扣，如同修女禱告般嘴巴不停歇地碎念著，像是在吟唱冗長的精靈語。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Eu5iLJ5r
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IUyXQpQd9
求求您，請別讓她這麼快離開我。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEraDifjrU0
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAI4OoMLDJ
伊德里爾加大握力，向信奉的神明傾訴自己內心深處的渴望。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7E2CTKcqk
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT2PdOEfug
「伊德里爾大人。」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtFOAW2ppf
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvpJsq3Fdt
「……！」伊德里爾驀地瞪大眼睛，朝聲音方向一望。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNetWuGYg0a
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtwFO9T6gT
「您醒了。」阿特里奇穿著一如往日的白色軍服，一手扶於劍首，另一手貌似握著什麼東西，出現在伊德里爾面前。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwt0FzinPn
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnhg0DiKz7
阿特里奇一步步靠近床鋪邊，將手心攤開亮出一罐裝有透明液體的小藥瓶。「或許……喝下這個能讓您趕快──呃！」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NYQzC2q5I
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20vLjzi52I
伊德里爾奮不顧身地擁住阿特里奇的腰圍，隱忍已久的淚水奪眶而出。她感覺心臟正在異於平常劇烈地跳動，彷彿將剛才所有的想法全都拋諸腦後。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8UvqIBq9J
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kQJ0um65H
「伊德里爾大人？」阿特里奇鮮少地發出驚嘆，手浮在空中不知該如何是好。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yhluxovyM
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSfClUkZ3n
幸好、幸好……169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn9Wp3OG29
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBAarW3qlI
她回來了，而且毫髮無傷。169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAsqUhsMv0
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ4IWKaGzJ
「讓我……再維持這樣一陣子……」169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzObbnlSHI
