另一方面，沙卡美不知為何回到過去，回到她十歲左右的時光。她綁著馬尾，穿著橙黃色舞裙在人來人往的宴會中穿梭。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVImaeF4Ryz
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSvGS4KQbj
宴會裏聚集了許多名門貴族，他們受國王邀請大吃大喝，心裏都怕酒裏下了毒。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZLOPpcRal
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpRTqTNRGk
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wyiC0nuuS
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlOj6BNMu1
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkun57reR98
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIBcjKbLsm
圍著放滿佳餚圓桌，臉看不清的老人轉身看著沙卡美：「哎喲！這不是沙卡美公主嗎？公主殿下要去哪裏？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4qygro0Wu
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7rJU4cr3Q
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidfOighsJw
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aar7LPdFf
正當沙卡美想問老人有沒有頭緒時，一隻粗糙的手放在她肩膀上。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdgbnQ2qD2
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxQlag6tWo
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NoiqcHJ2x
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmcShUyQGA
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HqPE2zEOW
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjElsPgKOj
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugI57tF29G
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtyAFBZ2AC
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHPKN9b5xa
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h8wBjdmzG
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENAyynPfyZ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaVUGHBpzq
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyVa2dTtfP
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlMhI8lH2V
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTqr14EUSP
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN00oVGQ8zL
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6hAxiP5yq
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8nSgWSrlf
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrJIGGYzQv
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK1uDTBS3q
「不是叫妳不必多言嗎？」國王走出王宮陽台：「我的女兒啊，那裏的人都不是真心尊敬我和妳，他們只是怕得罪我而人頭落地。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaWAQySATh
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71G57Z5K4L
陽台外的景色被一層白霧擋住，沙卡美也看不見父王的雙眼。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5bCDpznsI
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsYXW2YItt
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ2vFxsuG9
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEeQHKMcuI
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs143pNI6u
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgsoGI1nCB
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQqre4Dln9
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX53SiQUrQ
貝吏刻唐在床邊觀察她微苦的臉龐，有點於心不忍。
但為了不打擾沙卡美休息，他背靠牆邊靜候沙卡美醒來。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbOj8MuzLd
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6XjejAA3H
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSeWia2x3U
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk4L9eF6jZ
沙卡美自己也覺得很矛盾，明明想人民生活美滿，卻一直包庇無惡不作的父王，父王駕崩後又困在陰霾當中。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQr26CFPKd
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgxvwAzBQd
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7lAU6a0RB
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXvZQr3HCW
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSmqdPeNER
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf51DPc3DfW
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzZ26zMXno
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVE8e80ikK
「沒錯。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRV5bzXZU7
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeZk2d1ccr
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEp4apk14j
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV4eQChx3b
「遵命，女皇陛下。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cstnmQADB
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKYl5sjUMB
貝吏刻唐和小娜都不明白為何沙卡美會被「某種東西」佔據，仍然能正常運用魔力。黑色魔力明明會令人神智崩潰，但沙卡美除了行事作風改變外都很正常。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEjPW6Vgmw
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyxwv0ZiiL
感覺女皇不再是公主的貝吏刻唐，待沙卡美梳洗後伴隨她到飯廳。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIsKaYqn6V
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19EXpnVUvV
皇宮裏的官員、僕人等等昨天已知悉女皇被尋獲的消息，昨天在外冒雨拜訪人民的士兵和軍官們可能有私下跟平民們說。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Cm1gTSeT
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BGmmM8ucV
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwvE0RGBhi
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWakucy4HU9
「雞胸肉、麵包、蘋果和牛奶，朕很久也沒有吃過如此豐富的早膳了。」沙卡美拿起刀叉。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOimhAUQXca
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmCVDBpJox
貝吏刻唐坐在她對面一起用膳，雖說食不言是基本禮儀，但貝吏刻唐有些話想問沙卡美。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9cARZ53Cz
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6g2iiiMLI
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXoEguLwup
剛要喝口牛奶的沙卡美聽見他發問，溫和地收手：「貝弟弟，早膳時間不應該說話。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFubxvPbyAr
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlujQME7r43
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWcawJN032
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEZNEOaCL7
「甚麼事？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMUOyP6mxq
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRHlVdjMdS
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1N3VUIkWE
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xPWOfJ6UW
沙卡美揮手示意女僕和守衛離開，待房間只剩他和貝吏刻唐後回應：「貝弟弟想問的是朕想暪著所有人做甚麼吧？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCm8kRMF69
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PNyPKLnOK
「女皇陛下英明。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1zeC8FcxO
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARVi2flOn3
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP9i7oWI41
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtQmdRwHHz
「細作？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK9a8Stlkg
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOMsZYnmGe
「沒錯。約一年半前，朕去山多牧場時不是被伏擊了嗎？朕問過斯斯，她說那羣刺客的確是聯邦派遣的，但得知朕會在那個時候經過該處的情報來源不明。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeebC2KPCd
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkgiIlgTHk
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe9z1upmsG
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6be0ZWDl20
「當時朕還在學如何當一個好皇帝，沒有時間處理，朕只告訴了利華特。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCc4qFiAxv
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRTsHbd4lt
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha3vVvkb7Q
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1INIE3mImh
沙卡美舉起杯喝了一口牛奶：「朕去山多牧場一事朕只有向數個人說過，他們都跟隨朕一段時間，甚麼時候處理都已經太遲。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QaxvQ2FMR
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k0HFpTbpj
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bfvZ24ToA
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG07IaGx9rg
「塔瑪、歐法、迪斯普、哈芙、小娜、利華特、我。」具吏刻唐慎重地說出這七個名字。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF27PxfWyoR
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ifYgZlcKH
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ3nvzQ83P
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzqvuHHN1K
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uS3sA5DYS
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCJ78IdkhM
「不是。雖然你們是當時唯二不在場的人，你們也不會蠢到背叛朕。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkhhwkLEmP
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55yIBAfMbV
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcc5YjI9lP
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl71hJ7ilOw
「暗影守衛團的四人。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1PcRPQpTL
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuutZtzNHWz
「利華特呢？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMy3X9rVGi
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64xqq0bvfW
「利華特沒有背叛朕的理由。他是異世界人，當時的他怎會認為與帝國為敵是好選擇？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpJP4XnmcD
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjWzVKoNTY
「明白。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtd8GxbSeA
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYEXYZ27Sf
「因此，貝弟弟，朕希望你去找他們談談，政務朕會自行處理。找出細作後就地處決。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRPM1UkLb0
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSLZGgyrEz
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xMyvaEQGY
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE7eRN3fvM
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLpkM6qxr0
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66uEPeD1Lb
「不用審問嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VRY23BbEa
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko93CSm1Zf
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6oxPDnVjt
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGKUC2Gpc1
「不是。我只是擔心如此強硬的手法會在那時候遭到另外三人強烈反對，他們現在都有魔力。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYVSO41CZs
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8l3V75MZz
「他們現在也殺不了朕，所以朕現在才想找出叛國賊。貝弟弟，這個任務不要跟小娜說。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmovrqWyjZ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQz8JqrHj8
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDm8PQ5Ad2
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQoVtp98A8
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t8ftrNndQ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJncX8fcoz
「遵命。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxcf06jHxa
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICtRfOjo6e
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBcVaUCJhW
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dinnxkmSJ
「為甚麼？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp2EdGX2Kq
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxghdoA9B8
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMlKtF63pm
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lHwCrEZgb
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JYVtFY93d
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQWmHxgpns
先前因曼賈襲擊造成的損害已經由小娜用魔法修補，大臣們都能站在兩旁等候上奏。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDPcTzTJzv
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr16LAbb1m5
大臣們都用恐懼的眼神看著沙卡美，他們總覺得她與「失蹤」之前是截然不同的人。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgVawkmkkI
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaBecXuMUY
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYWFOqsHF3
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXedmtLkwF6
一位站在最前列，年邁的大臣走到台階前方彎腰：「女皇陛下，小人先抒發自己對女重陛下歸來的欣喜。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezVTL7ZTmZ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH6kvDedxU
「之後呢？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDPqgm9ZBD
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTCZrugcYZ
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHJALx9U0J
