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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBTjchQLds
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19lLVWbY3z
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFr9PIhwov
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEknELCYUV
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsr0LRxCl7
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBoYPDgRsv
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zMHNkzQVL
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JLEDLmGB4
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？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLaDmJ3mzH
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuLPTLMS76
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLNOg3PbF5
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwal2UadJU
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCpCtccxve
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SYqoJi3io
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMhWmo5COf
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACPTYFoReS
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB9FuCWg8H
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYLaps3btd
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaTkRviq2K
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb4lvsjJJs
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVNTJbmZAE
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb4OjLBKbv
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEQ2rRan62
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7JNDr3wOX
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8brn3rI5E
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBVHYWJ2CZ
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA6biKIpJt
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitmKn3dWia
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mDaD5GHGm
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThfWzdtH4Q
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZFXICods6
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YtpJorHzm
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14uNwdACxB
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEKvcJaGOY
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sNgzZQBUG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBgKm9DOPq
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyFx3dXAWe
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbMNe345ff
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJGo9Ja7HP
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmKl4AIlJG
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDW0T7Gvfx
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkOrq1snKj
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IUhxAeTOb
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ae6jOYL6O
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdOO3Rfa7D
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57K7Lrk30X
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qrkryJmIk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUAw7toH2w
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIgS20gD9i
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gs5JyHTIF
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob0Wfjt8c8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaShtjvmyKz
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5mHMRvz8U
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VlZgCEFmQ
「沒錯。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgDD1Aeo00
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjnHsReKBz
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Jysz2jwv
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zFnOqR1pB
「遵命，女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0O9XFJ1XD
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw6aRv5TG5
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HLMDRAKwL
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2NzrvbMgU
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGwsHfS9a6
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5flec6cfl
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6LCPi4Eqd
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi93e9he9V
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohML6StEG3
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiEaERGIqH
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4BjM5MHgz
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOtvaaGoSw
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKade1UZQA
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4VI0uWflu
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfrxpDXlNR
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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD598Yr7xCw
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQe2sGfAh5
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLcU8rwzSF
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6N4fNLYfm
「甚麼事？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1ZftsZvaI
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdq9lGrptK
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrcdEWakOQ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxL1wWEhHE
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？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUolRc7MXp
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEmVZOBzB2
「女皇陛下英明。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3aA2d5MyX
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV17bI2SHK
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZNSzy1uO4
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hTLbiu1i7
「細作？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVNmCGDUn9
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIJPgXZwmP
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj46EYo6atb
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwEyTyUDk6
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ749POwCjtC
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38PEpaofW2
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZJsO45fdg
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzVrz07maq
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3tESmUhvQ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkvkGC2SDS
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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo4JhWlOtd
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUoD7XKy2I
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9lhv6SmxU
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6srbndsS5C
「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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS85IByCwTb
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2haLPiYTIO
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPL2GtA3Wl
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiWV37mGDd
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO36HNbPoW7
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf22SMEBQf
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mTBvxyK3O
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxcHB3JyxS
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPXJ1ArKgX
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCHjnlg7hN
「暗影守衛團的四人。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmxNoEcwmu
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQeZaO1y6G
「利華特呢？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu0eBNEL2D
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA1ZD3cE2x
「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？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB0u2vL6AP
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvG8d8qWDd
「明白。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95ySlwBwO1
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQBTI5g9s0
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWaInzkeX1
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGvBVNxOEL
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA0MvpJ7gu
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGfY4riTCr
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkIlE553se
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWyOnGVlhz
「不用審問嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCJOtAIYN8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB37JVM40B
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjejaJU72V
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryQg1T1Vjv
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BirbhUecu
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjDTAtJgEO
「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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHBAITvDqO
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05XeinUvvp
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9BXGiAzYE
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko5ONoWkHz
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKYP12wpAF
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEsYBRI9d1
「遵命。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhdIKJSSl9
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDuy7ah3nN
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9v2LPLUmG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIJCdpGu6G
「為甚麼？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKTWAUbQ2v
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VjCgfDGw3
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQZJsJgQC2
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNr2SX3ZYA
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2ipfdR7Ij
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6luWNTO82d
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4FFYZ1Jq8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN5dQ7ezkN
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。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6lZ7jGAyg
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVKDmYgZ00
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PQ8ofnhS4
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7kls8v24L
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。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVQiriWKqw
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08vCZM6XvH
「之後呢？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZI1u775gC
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBdsIFaSZP
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiIDLXGLmD
