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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kbV1pXQIs
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlWCkf8XB4
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmdYWa13KE
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkDb5rTbp9
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQU98DsHYM
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTL5ymYHi9
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zgHPzQQAv
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeab8GTjXHN
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？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVlK3HBRHc
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubHuxDgObZ
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSHqMjQMWs
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKmEvWow0T
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdjxU6IzLr
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPkOkYuvku
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAsn7zPyEJ
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHL5QJrED2
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotgugkhKCx
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY1zrHIyus
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C2R3vUrZJ
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78Z9hUdBiA
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv38DmHLS8N
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV53MGhKTU
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCnOKu8LcQ
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2CHi6nsoH
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFBJkyhuh2
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIvWpOVfG5
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iy8MaVrF3
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWpZbpVkV5
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8fYEEjymC
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V2KfA5CRH
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAm4soGPv5
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9yKdeDXEo
「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。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VtPnzQ1j5
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1JTMxX7Aq
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb70CMxI0a
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrOXLWPiAD
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXriOVC4uc
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPVIYbfAVw
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZcytwBYyl
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqncguh9orC
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuYRmp9zX0
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1mLAduLNb
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqlwsknV3p
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqWjDwdMoY
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQcRaJPQQA
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5PKVHcs0u
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6tHJGzBZc
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQeMlROYCJ
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2UFmTbJVD
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwCVuW7OSt
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0KWMEZS6C
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAnxvujKop
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LIZsTC3iX
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWJlwq4KRD
「沒錯。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKFTmMZTIO
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntAmJNFlLH
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1R7Po0goY
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXih7cIVxd
「遵命，女皇陛下。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6gQAqZ1Ol
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTg3JFz5W9
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjQzm3Ayds
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmjZAtjvfH
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vkRkLFJKR
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTjWaK5Ej2
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFgEAzzD6c
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeYha4jW5d
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC3Y67d6jk
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH3qHuiNLl
「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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6FUTgEW3V
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZbQvnMNjZ
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFjUHjPFaQ
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHntTPFeHsT
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyoBt2Q8uq
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。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuwWltevue
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bCVt17Q1p
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO2KGZfx71
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytaACAMBpl
「甚麼事？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIlRJUqIZY
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdi5qsjxPS
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFCiQq3ta0
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38PFVoJPno
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？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnG7mmwiPh
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIdjgAufXa
「女皇陛下英明。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UiPVvQwTa
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK18m8ntiC
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXjAETzTXe
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYtZlwiXnK
「細作？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LlLciIqIl
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwvcMoxpVx
「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。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nwdu4jpKa
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwYcRHDnxr
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kFUkFZuo4
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YMWuiKcjW
「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。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJQvn5g4Cu
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ha5r1QXIc
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomBTzcFwm2
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuxRAhUDLS
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。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeVuzyOmvb
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgUFnrPJxT
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhuGKsPYcN
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG6UNAielv
「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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qPOemaGsF
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFS1P3S5yH
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAEaxKuAfn
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMHmR5yOeL
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZqdFTRgDb
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv9kxsg3DH
「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。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYrcZfydXB
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyOjHfUIBp
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRLbkQQAAB
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHHEMX7xyV
「暗影守衛團的四人。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6oWTslsfY
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PMX1xbrwZ
「利華特呢？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIwQnqEIDS
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVCihOKRZ2
「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？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUqmOpMxzR
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuMXG2BFZo
「明白。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MThXFjxqo
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp4lc1R4VG
「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。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDngzM77U68
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53EbdZcmT6
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfQc2QySVo
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1qgbBxODo
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8ilsnnnrY
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycZBUV1uz5
「不用審問嗎？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b3pnIdYaj
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zxpbpfD9A
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGzATCWEfg
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0mm13fA8K
「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。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Z6t3gkyO
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KZl7SJhGr
「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。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrfv1R70zk
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW6kTnkSYn
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJvq9dER55
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBIt4Iixdl
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4fUS2dV0n
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL9nkhK87M
「遵命。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglSsanw8sw
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwhvZyTqES
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRacN1OFonE
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvDPnH0u5B
「為甚麼？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl4Wtc9743
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmmOfMtAqo
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmohnyBw5SC
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2heSAPEiWX
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QMJMPWaoK
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWlRZ1rJSZ
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXjBaZEd7g
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTjwwd4cS9
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。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJmBLpC4sI
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZlFYeOu2f
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvULFU7XxMk
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTRwqFamJy
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。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAQwKCObu5
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx18sO7gTN
「之後呢？」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8T3ltDGt2
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXSOf6vBun
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB8Ga4U0MO
