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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDEfhYjg5h
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bm6oVJktg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaLeNqD0eZ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIY2RXe3Im
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwfrXMmCqA
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFsoRqXvEG
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiK7b1hkGG
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOYwjGOYT5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAi4nUdQme
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8H3F1PRZX
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirs6Akr25P
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe9fxKb27D
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMDaEnWQgU
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJJEXoKhHA
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3OZBUOvSE
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51KVzRs10e
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbAo1HHrnS
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIGMvfn8pr
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0SMARTK8D
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIBMe000qf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPuDw2qLl2
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCm3kaQr1j
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOoADytoAA
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaoYny9Crt
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkGEENrqNx
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJEK89L12v
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIxIMl4FQo
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4owyNE1vqm
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGquSMuXaSR
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28SeUUf2eC
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV5kLFljU1
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVkZYbOFPz
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwfIvUsVLX
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9A0tisuWe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZybsP2Ttg
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsF7wArpfN
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcWkTzzCuk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOODDeFxUrw
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9r1Frb8pj
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT4VNsGuzI
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiN8I88eUV
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrGf7j7lnP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ156ztXMuJs
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh42yOceeeo
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvcPbp6JDv
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVzS0guPDf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkWSQzOQ48
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzBb31DQMF
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAObY1Pdh8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cmvvRq1KR
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHynNYAIrf
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wlcamb2VR
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vdlrB2Jv0
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIUTsUkHys
「沒錯。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pOZGuEqNu
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnPhh0p5kw
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDs8OUIF50
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tToiJAypG
「遵命，女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18m4xxlBL2
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBHfmOWpPq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixUMNG5Dkk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuU8neYHRw
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEOt07VXxs
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqGtIjTj1W
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTyXrAok2u
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbATJiD8Dkh
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD1aOsYo1e
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3RrglhjTW
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc0XYCwrOa
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVkFQM3DiS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW3eU72K5W
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tD0SDPghQ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7vEI6hAJg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24uR02SXtc
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Yj7KQ5We
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Elr0Dy2c
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC0s684ssy
「甚麼事？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXalCPl7lh
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PqZxsiG6z
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWqhCSqUfW
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwryDR3NSrt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHECAA1y6P
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0c9NgqxvZ
「女皇陛下英明。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBOjUWmRMp
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKimRFxQ8T2
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGce7Ho52lA
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj3s1xTD2k
「細作？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TbaJCQEUd
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizCBZXVwch
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzP3N0lCV3
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoLZZiMqN8
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e5oOuFANn
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMvbHQyAPL
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGsDAZ9xjI
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIDe6weKov
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglokw8quy2
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw3NXeC30X
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ejLuIeWJT
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SDDzTwev0
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsuAEQSoMV
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypNz6yuZQb
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JJgfLiLt8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNJclvTXWC
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMRZeg3QTK
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY6Hx5qJJU
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlqE3HWI3m
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jfm8j141T
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpnX4gxH67
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78TYfQPjAV
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0CQ7kMvK9
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVgcco6vqo
「暗影守衛團的四人。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ylU6pD2G9
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq5eM4R0cY
「利華特呢？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCZiy3BZVr
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdItshGfp9G
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx73aBDY0K
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzmettYbLD
「明白。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAGHoGeYWc
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvM4hf8tDS
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94EX9SX4ft
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJp3YSCWQq
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEJk6wUe6o
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwdjvn7L9N
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFd13vVCsU
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGXBLRQTIs
「不用審問嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O4AlitUGt
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxlCOG6mmg
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWKauSev9r
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdFdOqkKqb
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFPh4vVyLm
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ1SW9Qy91
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHnQZcwkZN
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNEeqPmhvg
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F5NTRs1aA
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNO9HFWHFd
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxluuxLx7B
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn6n6IlTJC
「遵命。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS80ooBiZi6
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2MnpQk2H9
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpDuawkYvb
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNwfkKktjJ
「為甚麼？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJJfmX2QaY
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs0pnWryx6
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl4RtzmkTY
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzgYXKXeWh
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ZXxkGe4T
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRgIZ5EIoL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sqsNOB3oL
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtUGATEhz5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPmgsHy8wu
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwIJ9pICvF
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPf0xD7DLW
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxDZsyCVff
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjQO6IxR00
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAEqFfzT0t
「之後呢？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkECH2LaG5
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vA11TSpOc
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKMKHVXONS
