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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTGypAC6WL
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihDR2qul8F
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh1Y8JSlhG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYq4eDBN7x
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSApEFNIJO
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuBqaee19H
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiSkLLppkA
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvQzB1dgaP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HP6KpWnXC
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKqeGAwUNh
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOA5uOGy0P
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjSQpACLbE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0TWOh6bay
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mjwwgECkL
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHebd7mrCf
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyZ4Nz8hac
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xx6TPoGk4
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgr07dhU55
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6X7WPXsrU
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG30eTX7loE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhfxdmjDI3
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnoy4DzR31
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCJgn8A0eD
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2dhTn7QVO
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09NN6n7H37
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBpWsx1fLT
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoCWI5uSpy
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRNuoYpghE
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYsscblmWV
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGFWVxN0UY
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5zq6Cg0LH
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OeWSt5Xtz
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MYNVZBAKZ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsf8n3gfFs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyUeHHymHQ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCa8fuFB2m
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFABSiuisT
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl1AgZtftj
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu3DWnIMzF
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwMBzBqEAH
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ceAh8Au1x
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWUBiPxcBr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpJ08Vblhm
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo409bAYXl0
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23c23jUueh
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZSajGp0kq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh96xkbdeP
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnPcaSc7j1
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcUnoQ2mZ7
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGER2qTqg9
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCVyUsStTU
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSnPZhuqTT
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7geb6MQat
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNopGCZZsC
「沒錯。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDCyrtTxAV
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOEjHHj8cO
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9uIXY9Hh8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBDCUBN0pd
「遵命，女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVk4ogqPCI
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XWYXOB3in
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPcqW2L6UG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuXNGp28ZD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZYQ4N586T
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFM0yvWhJB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRGUgVtr1C
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHBOgiHPdk
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqNEnWtPqh
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE77eFt0QR
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFICV22a2q
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1E8quFn7R
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR6Kc36COq
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYCFBoW3ho
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhmFNcHxwA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8zKOAjpgx
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9VtPko3Fg
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ArEq1Ko0
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfQawNreua
「甚麼事？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWHJ9vZNQY
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9iWuEv8Ga
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEL3jFpSls
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWbfL1JYsP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd7eQcYfmM
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz120eDKCjJ
「女皇陛下英明。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BnhOMgrre
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAurWQOI92
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHlB1Z6VPG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq3mTa5ZkO
「細作？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb03ypHMCa
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqLxboZYDf
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEXRXk16Om
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfnH0rYx0f
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDms1VhRuJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMVymY2wE6
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqMQUHu80Q
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupCByFYU7b
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtfTzY3puj
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzeA14PB6y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m0HJYsFnD
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFUyNKs0eF
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWwZWI09JC
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8j2yJJCpW
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i1v4JgOpn
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBy7GmLM4D
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9v74TSbmk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre0NTGcU9x
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwNUTEzl8m
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq142sd510I
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xl41DqN4x
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbR2ZcNFW7
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd52Vad7Ma
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXjjOkHcg9
「暗影守衛團的四人。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnWNKjpSoH
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqNdlfke14
「利華特呢？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMDq5MOddw
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM3Mxh6OfD
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTHXCXBeM2
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsl08phIA1
「明白。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7OpgIoFQb
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr8xnvef5b
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sriktv3qY
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa17DoxsyYI
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI7kMOx5gD
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5GZ8ghfhj
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErd26iqhR2
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17XldDk47w
「不用審問嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCJMycVhWN
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU8rQlG0O6
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8GPno0td7
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZjg2OPduk
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b17hThVov
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh9nJ8Ar1V
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3T8wizdhb
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagemZDl9px
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zw4YYcntE
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsbCZz8bTA
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQwyNHxqAI
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEZxvEmrxJ
「遵命。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCvSguI0qo
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoyR3SBSKG
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjcTBz7AdQ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtdkmXxYZ8
「為甚麼？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOGW6Jv9Ty
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtvJFRAwbR
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0cBXVhxGH
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTdkWs042t
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z2a5z2tdJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqYlk0Nquq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWGwKMYjyi
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Z8PBevBe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RIevp23q1
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z1azU8Wef
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk0pK4Itb9
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKrrDmp4Wr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFLir4UHBG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpqMfcUu8y
「之後呢？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ujbUjnIc0
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVq0uVRhHY
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxLyzZ89HF
