「有妳在的話，我們肯定能打造一個國泰民安的國家。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfPMjJHHdr
「我把她交給你們！求求你們！放過我和我的宮殿吧！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52CREi00jc
「妳根本就不是女神……而是會帶來毀滅的邪惡女巫！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLX0xrJxqr
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8sPaMqP7S
「伊德里爾，妳為何仍然執迷不悟？」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6fvI69BFk
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPwczELbG0
「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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ECBVqdygL
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhvY3NJjwc
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYL1I8MCss
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy1BWzyBbB
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyqAzchKK0
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7leQLy5nEF
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cHQqOdD0N
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdJthy38xq
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQkm29iYjT
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6WPgmP0R9
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApppl1mLJj
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKArOwCb7j
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspJe1M3bxv
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHygv6vkqF
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjWxxNvYc9
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0lJWzU04X
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbbCqZmpB4
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mC9IXIYTu
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIpTY7tUKc
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneheD6ITjD
阿特里奇她……會記得嗎……？她不禁暗忖。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjm0idfe7C
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7UNclAFAX
啪咔。眼角的餘光捕捉到半邊的宮門敞開了。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQPC3NnnY8
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUHzykgUx6
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUrmfyiwgx
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLKMXxOMgt
「伊……」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFwjmWnXhn
「伊德里爾！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj0bCXhPFe
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByfVPyUd8B
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfQrBRiIhy
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbI8FmygQO
「妳終於醒了！我好擔心妳！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KgcYeG0Y6
「妳還好嗎……？」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIKFTyOuus
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5vIIkITHo
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhajbHTkLhe
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedrkodATCG
啪、啪。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmToYKxQNoS
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5eaxZ8pyy
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq8K13YRnT
「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！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFS4CRNgJ4
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKRLw1sijD
語落，帕米拉如同往常一樣堅定且迅速地舉起手。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCxAmWIXkm
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw6zhlfSxD
「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！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56g93fXkqH
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6NYliBk8v
「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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV27xBL4N2
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5sCH5EDJW
這是伊德里爾最喜歡她的地方──直截痛快的行事風格。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHmLv7mKYQ
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Upk2l0ww
「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……？」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMk1bUXKqh
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OJ7871ZuC
「雖然不知道睡了多久，不過感覺比好多了。」伊德里爾輕笑。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs94fDK13U
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUrEsPBob2
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……」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTaaNkBlVR
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI5gdfsgwH
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi15saeLn20
「五天……」尼爾抬眸對視伊德里爾，濃綠的眼曈微動。「整整五天。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdj3MeD9o7
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tdAwlunVe
「五、五天？」伊德里爾倒抽一口氣。對她而言，這則消息並非好事。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM5XNL1Ibo
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfv3F6trBs
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOqIOnwCNe
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlgawrKHqi
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？」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8zSzzMef9
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlimB3Qtk9
尼爾明白隱藏在話語中的重要性，並說了「我會轉告姐姐」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa2cpD5Sow
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjaoz1KFxd
「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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KutHBVHMM
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQRcv3uWPh
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMEsWC4ILY
「阿特里奇她……她去了精靈之森。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy31i4CRSl
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyP2fRBHea
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKgmNTlzej
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRFMIJoLH5
「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……？」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLv6H6YcB9
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKhvptr9jz
「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……」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Isajm6uI
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg55I2d00z0
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7jMhOOT4L
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS5GAhC404
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAddaryewB2
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6D1nXZatx
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t7oyRaSFy
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m5aSd9guN
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6ZUGrDVZ1
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprgH6I39m6
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxeWj44U2i
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSQxZjDPAr
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOE9UhFV21
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz6FObOZKK
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SBhOXfQj0
「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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIQXWCQ6nb
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLiGIXQF6j
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtO0SBQFsj
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIAjcVGcg3
求求您，請別讓她這麼快離開我。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYBfDL9O0x
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRSpd95yln
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq0PAtWnHy
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSywtv0d14H
「伊德里爾大人。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnMikGzakl
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzqAaqdyW0
「……！」伊德里爾驀地瞪大眼睛，朝聲音方向一望。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebe3pXgsJN
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wj0E7I2PU
「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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG85DNDyB9
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rt8uQXlhz
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！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aFOzpXD37
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEypXpgc1s
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4M4jY1VR6
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWL0YzAhR6
「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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyZzcCCMf4
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN542qomnwb
幸好、幸好……115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHICv1saQRq
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIWcU1lrZU
她回來了，而且毫髮無傷。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkmlCn28cB
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcyTjm0WGI
「讓我……再維持這樣一陣子……」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTANjDDrH1W
