貝吏刻唐殺她一個措手不及，她表現出慌張的樣子：「貝 - 貝吏刻唐輔佐官是來處罰我的嗎？沒 - 沒能將帝國的敵人置於死地是我的罪，但也不用這樣吧？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPPLATmXe1
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46DUjEaWl4
貝吏刻唐喝了一口茶後站起來，雙手放在桌上腰微微傾向哈芙：「一個經過適當訓練的火槍兵也知道要擊中人的四肢比擊中身體困難許多，更不要說是從那麼遠的距離射擊。哈芙小姐既然可以射中他的左手，理應可以直接擊殺他的，我有誤會嗎？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqnPldFmP1
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDSojq5d7f
「貝吏刻唐輔佐官是在說我利用那一擊提醒他狙擊槍有多危險，讓他不要再到皇宮送死嗎？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VM0uAgUWW
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB678EYpYk
「我可沒有這樣說。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf660BcHOwK

「枉我如此信任貝吏刻唐輔佐官，貝吏刻唐輔佐官言下之意是我是巴烏卡派來的細作嗎？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDBwfyIA26

「我再說一次，我沒有這樣說。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrDex7I7RE
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTPQWldGP8
哈芙憤怒地與貝吏刻唐對質：「那貝吏刻唐輔佐官為甚麼會認為我故意射失？貝吏刻唐輔佐官是開發狙擊步槍的一員吧？貝吏刻唐輔佐官應該知道那東西要打中一個快速移動中的目標有多困難吧？然而貝吏刻唐輔佐官想以此為藉口說我是反賊？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJR5fTzjzy
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjdk82kZcB
「那麼哈芙小姐認為自己下次有沒有把握？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5cFUhJxNL
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMW5bIjZ1S
哈芙瞪著貝吏刻唐喘了幾口氣冷靜自己：「怎會有......」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlekjD8cMgP
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kl0tuIa9N
「她對我說她是叛徒一事很大反應只有兩個可能，一是她對女皇陛下完全忠心，二是她心虛了。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuctopAdDf
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6SXc4EUUu
貝吏刻唐坐下：「抱歉，哈芙小姐，我居然會懷疑你。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPcQTudJ3e
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkHDCIrjM7
「貝吏刻唐輔佐官，我真的有點生氣。貝吏刻唐輔佐官又不是不知道目前帝國內部依然暗潮洶湧，實在不應該再胡亂指責我們。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNGtcimfvB
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKigegmqbO3
「我表達最深切的歉意。」貝吏刻唐點頭。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe73zk6m19n
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMb94DWvGw
「貝吏刻唐輔佐官今天過來找我這件事，女皇陛下知道嗎？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcIWX0vgdW
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCNMYhTc3x
「為甚麼她會提到女皇陛下？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSocqiCeC5x
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkjfohsvRi
哈芙繼續說：「如果女皇陛下知道貝吏刻唐輔佐官私自過來找我說三道四，女皇陛下應該會動怒吧？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FfskszyQL
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL90B0XFJT
「哈芙小姐言之有理。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcoh7CKCtM

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl2brO8MTF
「不再說甚麼的話，我就完全失勢了。」
「好，我和哈芙小姐一起去見女皇陛下，哈芙小姐當著女皇陛下的面投訴我就能消氣了吧？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXip0HRjAF
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFZJTMHHym
「沒錯。」哈芙交叉雙手。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxSyT9yhxh
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLxrm52Obm
貝吏刻唐和哈芙來到沙卡美處理政務的房間門前，房間前是一條狹窄、用紅金地毯鋪墊的走廊。褐色牆上掛了不同畫作和燭燈。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQh0MYY0lJ
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwATyMuGrK3
貝吏刻唐敲門，「是誰？」沙卡美的聲音從裏面傳出。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlSi7CkXQ0
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oYFqdliJb
哈芙不滿地站在貝吏刻唐背後。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eisRWbDm5
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNppN9XbWWu
「女皇陛下，我是貝吏刻唐。哈芙小姐有點事想和女皇陛下商討。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajsTm8pja2
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Myud9BxH
哈芙用一個「商討這種字眼顯得你想逃避責任」的眼神看著貝吏刻唐。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjNxAUUtRA
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyDlggUOiQ
「進來吧。」「遵命。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4UK7Mf8Z7
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5cGbSM1NM
貝吏刻唐推開門，沙卡美正坐在椅上、拿著羽毛筆、帶些許煩厭的眼神閱讀放在桌上的文件，握筆的手猶疑該寫甚麼。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Npao8NhoR
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwe6agQvvB
桌上還有幾堆差點擋住沙卡美的文件，沙卡美後面是一個大得可以俯瞰整個帝都的窗戶，陽光從窗戶照進來，整個房間也因此非常明亮。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g2gmoAPsO
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6TkKSKIbb
右邊是一座火爐，火爐旁，正中央的牆上掛了一幅抽繪小時候的沙卡美神情天真地雙手放在父王腹上看著他，父王右手執權杖、左手輕撫沙卡美的頭、臉容嚴肅地看著前方的畫作。房間中心是左右圍著木桌的兩張沙發，木桌上放了茶壺和四個茶杯，房間左側則是放了不同典籍和文件的書櫃。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBIw5PC8j9
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoWXjWDYc8
「哈芙，找朕有甚麼事？」沙卡美終於下定決心在文件上寫下應該寫上的字。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoLHuDw7md
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMnYbBpgoM
「女皇陛下！貝吏刻唐輔佐官剛才跑到我房間來問一堆關於女皇陛下的問題，還指控我是巴烏卡的臥底！」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Rxs7oStA
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejpujpWrSp
沙卡美放另一張文件到面前：「貝弟弟，這是怎麼一回事？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONPXRayjRn
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1loONnkP2t
「稟陛下，我只是懷疑哈芙小姐在數日前抵禦曼賈・漢生的攻擊時，故意擦傷曼賈・漢生的左臂以提醒他魔法部隊的威力。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgVivD4liO
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH2cOb9SN7
沙卡美放下羽毛筆看著貝吏刻唐：「貝弟弟，你是笨蛋嗎？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKMZc18bm6
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4f3GBYiTJ
貝吏刻唐單膝跪地：「我已經準備好受罰，請女皇陛下降罪。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExMmSZWjZr
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0giMUxyGxB
「貝弟弟，你明明知道目前帝國的處境有多危險，卻暪住朕找哈芙，還懷疑她是巴烏卡的細作？這會在官員之間建立不信任的氣氛，帝國就更難復原。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHdAOj48Mf
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVVozRILzu
「請女皇陛下降罪。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q9ZWHB8aG
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcSB8sJ7JN
「哈芙，妳想他做甚麼？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8gTHHkFxK
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhoSPWueb5
「讓我想一下......我剛好有封信要送給一位朋友，如果貝吏刻唐輔佐官可以幫我送信，我就不計較。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE24ZgHaxSZ
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAajjDar99L
「貝弟弟？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNJAXzI6k5
「明白。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8QpiWrGQW
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzwcPWyOE3
「女皇陛下，我先回房間拿信。」哈芙行禮後離開房間。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU50nUKQjds
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXrANMpTbY
沙卡美待哈芙走遠後才發話：「貝弟弟，朕認為哈芙不會是那個細作。她跟過利華特去加奧里的基地，如果她是巴烏卡的人，加奧里早就淪陷了。她只是真的很氣你懷疑她。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIV7zq71yo
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnE55Xp3q0
「女皇陛下，也許她只是想等到萬無一失的時機再出手。話說回來，女皇陛下，那個細作也不一定是巴烏卡的人。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi5DDkbieN
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cMmci57lh
「朕只有想到這個可能而已。曼賈・漢生不知道朕躲在密室裏就證明你和小娜是清白的。朕這一年多來沒有再分享機密給暗影守衛團就是因為朕認為他們不再可信。他們只是父王留給朕的遺產，朕不用也可。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL4rR4NIJ9
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxgBhKFlRY
「女皇陛下真的那麼相信我和小娜嗎？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFoQ1CFwdX
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0VF57yucU
「貝弟弟，朕聽過你問類似的問題很多次了，你一直質疑自己和妹妹不值得朕寵愛，還以為是幻想。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15WYCkhSSF
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9CgZR39dP
「因為實在太不真實了，不論過多久我都會質疑。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftMP4thRuU
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBDFfOD0Zc
「如果你像小娜一樣接受的話有多好......」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhoIVEBAXu
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0kdUQ1pKv
「我的使命就是保護小娜，要為她考慮多點。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LCsgA8ieq
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnAQtliU5l
「朕知道了。等哈芙回來再說。」沙卡美繼續埋頭處理政務。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS5sljwvOk
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe17R6fvKi2
實際上，沙卡美自幾天前便讓貝吏刻唐自由調查，一個人應付政務。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12sZe2562E
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qXF0aDGQ0
雖說向巴烏卡宣戰，但帝國並沒有進入戰時狀態。畢竟巴烏卡不是一個國家，僅是一個組織。除了各地開始募兵、軍隊長期準備隨時開戰、不斷生產兵器外一切如常。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4SZX4BZti
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRagzwoHTx
當然，有些國家也決定拒絕人民入境帝國，復興商業區的計劃進度緩慢但順暢地實行中。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhCo0DH32A
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAumEwZp48
沙卡美也透過報紙宣布自己回歸的消息，亦表示不希望再大量聚集人羣釀成悲劇。她在報紙上表達出自己最深切的愧疚，並呼籲人民匯報任何可疑狀况。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMs3RUWDkP
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm8CJL3zbF
人民對沙卡美躲藏的消息意見兩極，有些人認為她牽連到他國平民不可饒恕，紛紛到他國宣揚沙卡美的罪惡。有些人則認為她這樣做是沒辦法中的辦法，帝國人應該矛頭指向巴烏卡，不應該再為沙卡美添加壓力。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0r0O6cwef
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYneJamNA68
因此，帝國國境這幾天極度擠迫，大量人想離開帝國，又有大量人到帝國尋找機會。沙卡美加派人手疏散人流，人龍依然從帝國城牆延伸到另一座城。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCrNi1LmGZ
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatPMCyHlvn
巴烏卡沒有利用這個情況行動，也許是怕出師無名，也許單純是因為曼賈・漢生主張「不殺無辜的人」，他們沒有乘機製造更多混亂。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT3UGGCgjv
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KLOItJlzv
不管如何，皇宮裏的每個人都很忙。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylC8XqrUxu
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX54LllmhY
哈芙回來敲門：「女皇陛下，是哈芙。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXUYcHYcHx

剛處理完一半文件的沙卡美不勞煩地說：「進來。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttHeaRAPie

貝吏刻唐站在沙卡美右後方欣賞些微恢復生氣的街道。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEZ4lQgUDo

哈芙拿著信進來：「打擾了，女皇陛下。請貝吏刻唐輔佐官幫我把信送到信封上的地址。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF9M6gDvNh
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6nRJD6AK3
「貝弟弟，朕剛才怎麼不記得叫你幫忙？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyDEF3yr2F
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjAnB8z0vf
貝吏刻唐尷尬地回應：「女皇陛下一定又是太累了，要不要找小娜聊聊？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmb4t3cB96
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgEej80KMc
「也好，但等朕處理完面前這堆東西再說。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhCfW1qiHx

哈芙補充：「請貝吏刻唐輔佐官絕對不要打開信。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmDdd69CiA
