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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcgGdW06co
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRnXUwOCOa
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSran7eoD7
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxWeTI0fml
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7EqUep72O
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9WykxI1dU
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxrfJqS10D
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lMapWmLlR
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？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHv5lkbAIs
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXyNMj3QZA
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfdo3D0vUJ
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItTAQiDWPh
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbmfKlKIZ2
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKOCsiLDsT
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9OoZ788P5
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHNVyObkmr
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7xesOV8tb
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡincdbOgwKA
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR2I6Udyop
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl12gN9SumG
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosegAB5QaL
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC4XCtag4f
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT0p7gl60y
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzUpapJ6WV
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5xBPsmDaq
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1992w5Z8wY
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu6Ankovfc
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZtHnNqbIT
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEjARxd7Cg
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOM3R8LPbg
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpEftfINXP
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J0OhlPTB6
「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。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9CaXVuWtA
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqyMOfht8B
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqccEomoXW
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEu6J0T750
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf3l4b5WqR
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7bVPyOyZp
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw3aSwPj9K
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vMbBcOYdj
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OQpw3RKk6
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN6KEcV3Hq
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX12mLDwKxs
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ntDc3Ur0
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYLEQIb9J0
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gkNISzJ5G
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qa1Vg0bcb
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWABJF6MV0
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVABwdhQDj
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eSYWqNwTx
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIIFzhYCB4
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkciq9p4rX
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsxcgqKKO1
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FBDOWX6E0
「沒錯。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjSJ9yEH7W
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8uUbaqDt6
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGWnpiZZbu
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyqiJ120Z2
「遵命，女皇陛下。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcoR1m2hiS
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWqlxu9S2b
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebtHE0sZdz
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIMg9mMqje
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfFDm2ZoBC
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhLPEZkRDk
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUzEViqJ6s
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHIXJ569yb
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfnVtN3hxl
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Dr9SztC0
「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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cc0imWYbH
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl78MRfm3g
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYwUdXks77
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZxruwYmnv
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt74Ew60qw
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。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7hRdJx10b
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp3ultOWlb
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ6iGHN9Ep
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rh9Bz62Uy
「甚麼事？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJqJHxSLGV
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A8xpc7x6P
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdObNfusQdq
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1pVhDoE63
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？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i0Ku1zGx8
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xHw7S4ctP
「女皇陛下英明。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltfmtOK94R
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbZ4g2Nd5v
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71veVTBd1k
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUYt6xgtg3
「細作？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyg732yFtK
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyH3xVtWWN
「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。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs7nPG9XVN
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW4XY1z3FF
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgodJWZlBlv
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiJUeGFZ7g
「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。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIGaIWqITp
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDWfsW936I
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5QGrPhVNL
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0cnLv29Rt
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。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJd6OTMVGJ
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oqMMbkUjz
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfeRxznynS
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QFX940lBF
「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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYX6fIAEFl
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw9oH7XVMR
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRVP5jhnK9
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1TL2FjBc7
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfTVk2O42B
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pnpEgk8KR
「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。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7zVAnEeEG
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwwcclBV6L
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg21lfv2k1
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzouxmCKNs
「暗影守衛團的四人。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMkiOZzTnx
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40mH7aKllw
「利華特呢？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ag0n2Wly9
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pbfI5v8q0
「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？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQDtsxiIFf
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhbEueWTni
「明白。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAIjwSX61p
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk923kIeaLy
「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。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWsiO5LTW3
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tRNSYjxtQ
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR1PbtaRov
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEIvqmEJdl
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDK2qqREkx
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZRaTKtq9V
「不用審問嗎？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbW92SJyrK
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEjocuCkVO
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PvOb5uY9w
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1As4KHDQZ
「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。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUhJYDoWU6
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZZNsFhPZV
「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。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmpPiU0Yu7
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OXhYabcxo
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVdDHsufo8
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEomOhQNdOF
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYllSfeItS
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQhqHzYa7J
「遵命。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU4UdLMKdt
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTXETUH2lm
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdUKsKjGLs
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrD6OpPr1g
「為甚麼？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENmhpLwnMI
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1swCr3Crx
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhnNnOx08p
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUGTpmALt4
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoufLn2jXud
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW5eefRxfu
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVT2WxlLdE
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKYvVt6B3G
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。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEfihdJGIC
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymh8glRScC
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V0xKYnfLO
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjcsOnycy7
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。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyZVMYOMTQ
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGWs5i3U1f
「之後呢？」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc7GhkzZYW
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2IThoCdbi
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruRU1IZT5H
