「哈芙小姐。」「是？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNi7rOGTRU
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhHG7XjjYR
「妳認為妳那一槍處決不了曼賈・漢生是出自甚麼原因？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSC2lbXx2a
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcQubNYQbz
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？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs5K9KquCm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTQn0KfO8M
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？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFIa1lOBce
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dEWSW8knP
「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？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDjodRKfvo
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbOGT6C0NV
「我可沒有這樣說。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOnj6Hahlm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oIS26DAJ4
「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？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBwC7qGXN1
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwwNC7vH6L
「我再說一次，我沒有這樣說。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsHZZ4yG9x
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt0rG8eEV8
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？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y40txgWzr
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpI37ug6Ou
「那麼哈芙小姐認為自己下次有沒有把握？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokV7VKjule
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGVt1HZaY4
哈芙瞪著貝吏刻唐喘了幾口氣冷靜自己：「怎會有......」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA4rMLu0xM
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjxbPVSKjG
「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。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKUiSkfrBm
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaokbNIbuYS
貝吏刻唐坐下：「抱歉，哈芙小姐，我居然會懷疑你。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjrCVatVjJ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtznBxSpS4D
「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。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfigg5tLIA
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhBKfEqrXX
「我表達最深切的歉意。」貝吏刻唐點頭。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6pqDh7p79
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e0zmRcoPt
「貝吏刻唐輔佐官今天過來找我這件事，女皇陛下知道嗎？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhX2atlMns
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYpzn5HAdL
「為甚麼她會提到女皇陛下？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoNGcAl0cn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGrzFgIRPR
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？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvXt6PYxjx
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna9aTryqe8
「哈芙小姐言之有理。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Le5dYdhz
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3w6g3q3Yu
「所以呢？女皇陛下知道嗎？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P2PFF7Adq
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYoI1odmmP
「為甚麼她要乘機反攻我？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZylg6Ghcs
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr81fE5mWe7
「想不到那麼努力，竟然會被貝吏刻唐輔佐官質疑是細作，誰也會生氣吧？貝吏刻唐輔佐官也太無禮了！」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUBGL44vgA
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr2rcMMOTa
「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？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6IGf9xidZ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTayojEJztR
「沒錯。」哈芙交叉雙手。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7UUZ4oXd8
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB7pLzspZH
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKuNxsChZL
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdac9q3xdPF
貝吏刻唐敲門，「是誰？」沙卡美的聲音從裏面傳出。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKcm7vi5QX
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzrcaIIuVg
哈芙不滿地站在貝吏刻唐背後。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC64B9bjoD
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkQszvZJdf
「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。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXpJFAaBgC
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGgY8FxshR
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET37q0MGhF
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCa5wglCwr
「進來吧。」「遵命。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXBdD4MlbT
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe45AUfYF4F
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJOhwheNtF
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqL24OHEG7
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpNEf1vc6R
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1eGnQovAN
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh6nLSkwsl
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNRhK6mKVh
「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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQKfhcdg7c
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNznj4nn6il
「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！」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqvAugNAiN
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkephvrcbPE
沙卡美放另一張文件到面前：「貝弟弟，這是怎麼一回事？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxENyGbTU7J
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4laRXCUIsa
「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。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C17CTUvSw
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNtZmYmu4U
沙卡美放下羽毛筆看著貝吏刻唐：「貝弟弟，你是笨蛋嗎？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvjR27mmZU
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrUUjNnQsr
貝吏刻唐單膝跪地：「我已經準備好受罰，請女皇陛下降罪。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzZzF3Cy64
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7IlVT8rZg
「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。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpYsoMmUSp
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOMckNLrYU
「請女皇陛下降罪。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrxXekWJZQ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RP0tzf6fc
「哈芙，妳想他做甚麼？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KKCUBzoz2
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkBRtUudMf
「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。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZpLAxFu03
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA0LPpOaHc
「貝弟弟？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcTMUNuETo
「明白。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMznwOsGChX
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwI03RwxzZ
「女皇陛下，我先回房間拿信。」哈芙行禮後離開房間。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBvgWPv58x
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi3xavzvRk
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。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLWz4CcTlR
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnebaSRmWho
「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。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7Nck3K23f
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK785B9A79K
「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。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoDKe7vAVD
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOZawQYsgY
「女皇陛下真的那麼相信我和小娜嗎？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP0zUTQeot
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKULHLvWNTh
「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。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXcRBRL9GL
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81mNQitx6t
「因為實在太不真實了，不論過多久我都會質疑。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbroTKRSXJ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHBSnp4EXd
「如果你像小娜一樣接受的話有多好......」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyRyuXvvK5
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBDGR73exG
「我的使命就是保護小娜，要為她考慮多點。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX8zJzzuxA
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKmFb8zBrD
「朕知道了。等哈芙回來再說。」沙卡美繼續埋頭處理政務。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgQDEFUKnq
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9mKpDZGTY
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6pspJLJMh
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUhXJUegn3
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj9XL5UFw8
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmerETFgij
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87BWVcHppQ
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6ooIruGSm
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwprSBQmhdn
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS1ZyF4jFN
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBeg4NnslA
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRibDHnDl9c
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVyaxg3LiG
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1auTgpr85s
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。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR9s2QukG9
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvXrLdyg0f
不管如何，皇宮裏的每個人都很忙。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1hLs3UsIL
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaY97u8eEq
哈芙回來敲門：「女皇陛下，是哈芙。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNHvW3ItdY
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6l63Cx5r3
剛處理完一半文件的沙卡美不勞煩地說：「進來。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJUxHh454j
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoCEHUJEnO
貝吏刻唐站在沙卡美右後方欣賞些微恢復生氣的街道。249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrYUfHfTNK
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVW0dbp3Od
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。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JmxBARRPf
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxK1dWYnOl
「貝弟弟，朕剛才怎麼不記得叫你幫忙？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiTXSkSzGV
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ffKz1nKc2
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？」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08HrpPVfKv
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXJbjODhNX
「也好，但等朕處理完面前這堆東西再說。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxE4WCCsTT
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhLwBSIDgb
哈芙補充：「請貝吏刻唐輔佐官絕對不要打開信。」249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ532xfPSzPl
