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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpMDi4wPoN
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADvPYPVJC0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHRxkT1L8f
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHfw51zI6q
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv3Hvia7Hc
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lld13bDMY
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGA4vtTo97
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHTeoACrNr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuunxVxaaJz
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4vBkJrlRT
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcACmqGrbXe
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzKAvdE54G
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNRq4kJXH1
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl7jYlPr7h
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yuvYs0nIp
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT02Id6ZdxP
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmDtcclLNs
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6OKenGnm9
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gZMBbbjC1
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKraCLvDKx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c47F8fros
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZrHejNSK9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvytvwn6ZSm
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gZbzuCVrt
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuZVe2lizk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBrrNHffvH
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQi4FQDTk4
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GENv8usLp
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPluCuwrySa
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtri7yvWOfl
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm821W0YrKQ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L7oVLdVN5
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuZFcZ0VII
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d8fjeLzlG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeUWYtvcYr
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lbd9WEL4a
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstzJ0s8tcI
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡletQDZzG1O
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubK5ja7UEZ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55JXkemW9d
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJSPn65AGA
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kfo2L0W8N
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjiv2sElH9
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWHUHi2dds
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8510uOpjNf
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijFHoHMbFk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEMY5B0hKQ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1AgNjELrq
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZHBNORgYv
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqn9yXCyuB
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9oZTSGRn1
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6ujRZimNE
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CVCQhhjFf
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEMdgBh04A
「沒錯。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzmqGbuiFz
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNfpJqwN1T
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsODXeJRwwd
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCteZlMoFr
「遵命，女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYxIY86hb8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg5xMLmqKy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylZE3VtFdX
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQYbXghCxr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklMRPRJr5l
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqt3fxX35u
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaMEhCUdBG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kDRwSPKnt
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2wYPgIIjS
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL2k4LX53E
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkPS3SZBuR
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV62hACY8x
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlV1ixZMRW
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVE52Zzo7w
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmW8iPAO1D
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF847xkovA
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQyZ4SbWV3
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxAOoaySac
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71zG55PQGl
「甚麼事？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ildri2KEP
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HL0aOeMW0
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYFmpxsT1V
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynRaKH1MkD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVdCQf1W3t
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4W45zio7s
「女皇陛下英明。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7YMxFoy10
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDitsozxwM
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm7qKmE63Y
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qamPjhWZ4
「細作？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgurkJegJt
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9FsXHDmxo
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZQz2XZaVS
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QxlBXh5At
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbwZM1tx27
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZKidQoifV
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhVJbC05EV
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sxIcuLIc5
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wXUMNjEpr
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnynodoCDH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9wTsqGOg0
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01FH2Wc6x7
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtsOKJ3oVV
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmfAmm6Jdo
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxwyDgtjki
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB5Dxo30JJ
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIKAtdJtws
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFpZFGH5GM
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmNaWIdfMR
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnLUDKK7ug
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IliqcnOQp
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSfKMTa78N
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEqtVTTXvT
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW0hAuJWlw
「暗影守衛團的四人。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fXHlEEz10
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS00czvRPSL
「利華特呢？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHbpvD0HPq
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9F7aEAkuX
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshqe9bLTXh
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1XOUUK0bN
「明白。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazXHvNPfX7
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdR4cI3i2i
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDsVNdz37Y
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprBhFng9Eo
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rfxO62fhD
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLMvgZDSXL
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqglDNVnE7Q
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ka1YWJZXT
「不用審問嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy32s8eeH8O
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp63Ozq3WW
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleRvi5FTfh
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u0ZNblvHj
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtjYA03xdd
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJq9IH6C07
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTXLaSUHnJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1Xcu3WV1T
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLrQhRvb5a
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyxhEp4gmr
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNVktEU2tL
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84Dr9L5anE
「遵命。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos10mH1VaV
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDJlMLwt8k
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NC32tmTqT
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HEPV4Ff2E
「為甚麼？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxWz7O0xuo
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t4IvOHmQt
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ecnlD2HVF
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv64VGsYYwT
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsYtxE7m61
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc2DtxKcqs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8SGZ3eEXs
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjau0g5OFx3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmTmYkPGU4
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6SJqeRUCM
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8Z2NlIhk7
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ899SOkoJ5d
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4QK4RS8r8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMs3LErRM0
「之後呢？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3uF2V6GGy
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd22u1EM5y
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oF3WqX8nh
