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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cR5iK0zpq
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0pZjGIQPk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ6js6pFEk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazeV3R0vck
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7fUtRzJhL
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQqusB9oDT
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyB2IXtJyL
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GOe1KD9hE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBTqsVSaUm
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWtdyuo1fq
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlX9G3ee7D
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt0bDFuUTB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmQ5xNq1j6
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7ULx1cul7
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIuCpvGWnE
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3qlY7citF
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRZQmWMLdJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmpXPM1a5y
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1Zn4DGMqJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLicUeJiPkm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlewCNNJFPh
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz6Kptbyuu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JGnmdb14R
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjFh8zIfl0
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyNpUDHkjM
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTm8oQlkkt
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxNvD3R7gZ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktq6uhbfvi
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCAXE31oNP
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTy9L2x74f
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUixG2wScX
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfVP2fBAP8
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco9g6bqoRy
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9vbmwY8Wv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPbZtuehPn
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNqtJISPlM
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwbCzSrjOu
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5dhFqM7xo
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ281n1wdhcO
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra0JgWeZ2N
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM2jW59JAR
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSn80FjJoG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRlmW7O4P0
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhtfgulO9u
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dnRW9Pgda
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SzfGpecs4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSjG1AWPIg
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OsgTib0sP
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMBomIo5Zn
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xVc0A8MAS
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iLA0JhnLA
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV1KicRHim
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCALYfJKyr
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IX0XMnfrm
「沒錯。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWlAfx4Xze
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrVRit3h4j
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIrCuBNCcv
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAVcKxXu9Q
「遵命，女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdo2MG6142
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsCzLOa15J
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Hfcc7lME
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzZrlTmSdS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbyW9FPbEo
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvz8ky4XOH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCfhljWWWL
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZCIwrKNSU
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dTXowDXpa
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuxeSlGqoK
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkij308Wtx
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrOlJZNzSK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2iFObGOSz
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7KjsxKwTs
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgVT2tS9Xc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZemkDNro3
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VdweHkjjZ
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAmPrmaQTk
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UbbBnWlWC
「甚麼事？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgfW3QNvQW
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82EjdkAcrs
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr10f22C613
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Yc1Q4CuJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChYDua3ZZz
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y8ZHEhMiI
「女皇陛下英明。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0JrE0iNwl
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBSJ4zscrN
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE7bviXlPh
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUWuYYot20
「細作？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdl6uDlDoF
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4cgxwwm3z
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzafltC8Uh
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykCT2Ahdtd
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpThdNVN30J
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipwuqdj7t6
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpBQchNjNJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSumu5jGJcb
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP5mQA0RxO
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvmhUrKVhI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N6w2h4TH6
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bl9JPWX8C
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHyrhM2oCl
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3TTSVKI1Y
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz7ObWDxHK
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch270PisTm
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf0QbQXZJH
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve9KOubbI4
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbqJ4KlEIq
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtLpCIQP9P
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV5XF2omC8
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd7O7AU2G7
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONwLZxRssp
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m218eXTzk
「暗影守衛團的四人。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqOC9VSLqc
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsdAfiw2m5
「利華特呢？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5CfqN8jRR
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojtAiCj6yE
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdov79U1m3z
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45RCldXQxP
「明白。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyZ4f1NBMJ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88JE5MhWaK
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6QC7LvB8O
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV3zZ904yt
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJdclwQjrh
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm01uCaIIl4
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zOtnNy3dt
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhyB243Stj
「不用審問嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3kNCNrT1J
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO0MJ7UhPt
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF1UenpG7a
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ap4lqRgxw
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO1eKYjx19
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHb69vsloB
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4wFUXKYDQ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW0tYUT9Ax
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnyPfHiK8S
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLlcGAvMjm
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl1L4ddQ5S
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVDem9NLns
「遵命。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW9eTPgaSt
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jrWkMrmgn
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZUuN50DRA
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnGLQsgbgW
「為甚麼？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo4VfLi52i
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFVo5iA55A
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl6bZimzNS
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eWj8uGKHi
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4B4x6TC6G
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv59ha9gqFH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAeS4YjWpf
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIANUWbinqI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jwrqbxuiB
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d9MnfCxV8
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHQbsAeVbL
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLJ3Ccy88Q
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYASBlIB63E
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdMi3jzRqG
「之後呢？」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEIVhiSC3U
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xRtsiTNKA
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucycY9dBHA
