「有妳在的話，我們肯定能打造一個國泰民安的國家。」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpwByN6l3O
「我把她交給你們！求求你們！放過我和我的宮殿吧！」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXaoDpZtPB
「妳根本就不是女神……而是會帶來毀滅的邪惡女巫！」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y9qCWPXfL
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVPE5jTg7T
「伊德里爾，妳為何仍然執迷不悟？」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvunzPYKDyd
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BJFmPwpWH
「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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXvfPrnm3W
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhcDhZwZGQ
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiaEMoyKkQ
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQjZrhNXoN
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80kfgXSTHW
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHTfz2RdLM
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmQnT1L6BJ
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr0w9AICko
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvAUX4h3Z5
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABGtQlJToq
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXFiv77ZMk
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthSWfdFBxP
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuUrJgUUoE
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kpci4oDsG
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVzTRVZpoT
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURSF5jtift
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCx5OCfHiL
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyLryijatQ
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyiyOfpWgg
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap8I7Qv9PI
阿特里奇她……會記得嗎……？她不禁暗忖。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gSMaNKppM
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EhhZwk78b
啪咔。眼角的餘光捕捉到半邊的宮門敞開了。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yvvHWSizf
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4loFNBsUW
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoGFPg2giY
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlRRmG8Ctk
「伊……」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Qz29q5tn
「伊德里爾！」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobIUx0SMGn
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yGrNR3VQT
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD6zCIeQkJ
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHp64uJwqs
「妳終於醒了！我好擔心妳！」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6pCeqYjxX
「妳還好嗎……？」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBevCOvHNie
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZeAsAlvjo
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LUn9xIklj
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkhfjT7j0M
啪、啪。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOBMXUxlww
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqKHSBvSBp
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBa1SDblyA
「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！」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP5l0haeRO
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pCOckeR5S
語落，帕米拉如同往常一樣堅定且迅速地舉起手。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8V3EJdWhF
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1JbYgY61j
「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！」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhaP42XPDQ
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD9PzI8QLf
「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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnCAZ2llqw
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfk9b1tdhI
這是伊德里爾最喜歡她的地方──直截痛快的行事風格。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c2N0wZE8W
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgRyj4mHJ3
「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……？」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpsF0USz5h
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX63vxqsPFC
「雖然不知道睡了多久，不過感覺比好多了。」伊德里爾輕笑。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PiXmHJ0Vh
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcSndHok0G
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……」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLGGjKuFeH
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPab7AIEQZ1
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxxuckYfTS
「五天……」尼爾抬眸對視伊德里爾，濃綠的眼曈微動。「整整五天。」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwOn2tX5Qi
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHzF1sWGOF
「五、五天？」伊德里爾倒抽一口氣。對她而言，這則消息並非好事。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSElpUVAWd
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg7pLLqQu5
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DZggEE2u2
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD4Xz2CFZV
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？」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8aQU0yA5t
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY2DTxtbXB
尼爾明白隱藏在話語中的重要性，並說了「我會轉告姐姐」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQcIRqGo45
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxZN5e3tA3
「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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30PGEdSHRy
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXoEITsbyq
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ670hKEejcC
「阿特里奇她……她去了精靈之森。」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pRepvSPBa
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9LqcGsDgC
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vpCmJA1IF
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5S3RX4GF7
「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……？」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX7P6hbe1F
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuLiiE6kAY
「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……」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiPdca8Gpv
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw9Cyro1C8
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpHqHVDjkb
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfLdg6W36i
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkEe6LXT9k
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KaRRzKvfE
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pXO6XE0II
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U6vEVh34B
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKIxQ5FcrX
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrFFwnnpXU
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4UnAL23Jj
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3w7Aclw0y
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpDzJYR1vB
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB592UDPPHA
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NDZ6zy5qY
「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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTegAFIZ8A
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAewO9CqIf4
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0RglXBBUp
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFGcxjyA8f
求求您，請別讓她這麼快離開我。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw5xk86GgX
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hLNUplIlX
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrtMPDbwlD
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZLLQpoAlK
「伊德里爾大人。」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNadB2yp9H
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpnEo3LHVS
「……！」伊德里爾驀地瞪大眼睛，朝聲音方向一望。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUVIS5YsNN
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxmvrFrAhe
「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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RlimO2OAv
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzIx3oEbJc
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！」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi99f8QwrY
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgpHyoJKK9
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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLulsV6dcw
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9rpFBFObr
「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。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqOLN3tj82
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0hdal9rQ8
幸好、幸好……156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitHy7hTIGS
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YiBqOo5f3
她回來了，而且毫髮無傷。156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcNgK3syTX
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡividU3gJUr
「讓我……再維持這樣一陣子……」156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNW4wT9Ih9
