南極皇都到希臘官邸的航班，金度‧金恩‧艾因里希非常享受。帝國高層會議結束，他帶回不少名望，還有自我啟發。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkLmA1qYed

「父親大人，辛苦了。」布麗姬特按照禮數，再次出宮到停機坪迎接。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjWevVjgHd

金度牽起女兒的手走進廳堂，行為舉止格外親切，但他額頭上的傷疤，讓布麗姬特感到擔憂。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrP29Z2tAP
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxZTdERvRu
「您身體還好嗎？要不要休息一下？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wJCeLZnNI
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62BjE422FZ

老將軍神采煥發，迫不及待地說出好消息，「跟妳說，爸爸要升遷了！我能分到火星，妳會變成老家的公主……更重要的是，我會有更多時間陪妳。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLqu6IuRhg

布麗姬特擁抱父親、喜極而泣。上次離別之前，那副憂心忡忡的蒼老面容，她終於能夠忘懷。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X1vtPCZ0v
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHpZfVkfWq
「原諒我……埋首工作，都沒注意到妳已經……長這麼大了……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiw3WeNFMj
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINGMxCUWGQ
摟住女兒的腰，金度輕聲細語道：「上次我有沒有交給妳……什麼東西？代為保管？撞到頭，害我有點失憶呢……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDUPS1FcFk
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UulzEsBH4
「嗯？有啊，那個小儲存碟……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa7iUt7Ssf

不要相信任何人。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LNNxIzpV2

沉重告誡閃過布麗姬特腦海。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8tHOkp9hN
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc7uTyZs94
身上游移的手掌讓她十分不自在。父親的瞳孔深處，竟然有一股陌生氣息。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0wDyc68T1
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0W7SDuTL7
「小儲存碟？在哪裡？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpvCGaqpbL

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQQWZMFNcB
「噢，抱歉，親愛的……可以把它還給我嗎？裡面有很重要的東西。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y9T4ZOcSg

「是……父親，我這就回寢室找找……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y4lorftMu
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAu2zgvfeZ
雙手緊握裙襬，快步跑過長廊、走上階梯。千金公主喘著大氣、鎖緊房門。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFYRE6mw8X
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWihkzK80uy
鳥兒鳴叫，日光依舊。她慢慢低下頭，從鑰匙孔向外看去。剛才那些，應該只是錯覺而已。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqFJxAVsqU
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pdH0aS4sU
一片黑，什麼都看不見。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCyJdDjeIg
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLZ3hGftCx
她這才發現，被稱為父親的男人緊貼在門外，準備彎腰窺視進來。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOiZ88aDms
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pk9UEW9Pg
「嗚……」布麗姬特擋住嘴巴，往牆邊跌去。幸好絨毛地毯吸收聲音，讓她能偷偷從死角爬到陽台。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13IEPUVc8F

「不、不要……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeydEDMpoQ0

聽到門把粗暴亂轉，貴族之女掏出藏在胸口的儲存裝置，強忍淚水接受現狀，「爸爸出事了……這裡不能待，要想辦法逃出去。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfngxpbN8NR
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAgZBv8vVL
海風刺痛手指，布麗姬特緊緊抓住外牆浮雕，一邊聽著漸漸增多的腳步聲，一邊攀下地面。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrQ0uH6bJX
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5oK6BBILr
脫掉高跟鞋、壓抑恐懼，她小心翼翼避開巡邏衛兵，成功進入樹林。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgVJS3UZz2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7XUrVFJtP
「快逃、快逃……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfGAFgVGVv
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5jUg4TF3i
但是，又能逃去哪？沒了家室，她要怎麼活下去？515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYNaQQ916S
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniDghUc6N2
閃過眼角的樹幹就像不懷好意的人群，不斷打擊她的意志，直到她體力透支、跌倒在地。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxk1IkWdRT
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps7fGOV8xO
強忍淚水狼狽起身，落葉被踩碎的聲音從布麗姬特前方傳來。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwWbUTeNsX

「誰……騎士大人？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQltz4lnqHb
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44YoDSQ8Hg
身穿長袍軍裝，臉上有改造紋路的武將伸出援手，扶著主公的女兒躲進草叢。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeae9UZzHJ
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXV9qtAJnc
「麥西，父親表現很奇怪，我們要找人幫忙！」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCCB40sJvk

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhn7Dtf8i2
落難公主心底一涼，還沒反應過來就被重擊後頸、失去意識。漸漸模糊的視線中，是充滿悔意的男人神情。
思念與夢境，帶著女子回到故鄉。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9pJ8BHFUO
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA7RbL4IkB
火星表面經過千年改造，已經像極了地球，不同的是，那裡海水顏色偏紅。布麗姬特很久沒看到老家，但總是會夢到同一個場景。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0wrktIHNr

安寧病房窗外是紅色汪洋，母親嚥下最後一口氣。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQoqIOgTvT
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4KrEi58H3
金度的妻子比夫君更「不像貴族」。她堅持靠自己的力量與病魔搏鬥，不接受複製人器官移植。雖然成功生下一女，但還是難逃命運魔爪。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6hKJiuXcW
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUilrrnUgdm

布麗姬特睜開眼睛，發現自己被安全帶繫在船艦駕駛座，旁邊正是打暈她的騎士。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfWh4cIJsN
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rtr1L1bFj
「麥西米利恩‧羅威‧邁爾，你竟敢……」落難公主拔出臂環內藏小刀，抵住背叛者的脖子。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmQND3LyI7
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwEDMO3m5v
沒有回應，也沒有辯解。布麗姬特仔細一看，發現騎士冒著冷汗，一手操縱面板，另一手緊壓腹部，長袍被血跡染紅。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKFntBUa1A
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mLtSFEwEP
「大小姐，我願接受任何懲罰，但必須等我們成功脫逃……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nb87Qk7tw
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzO2aL2Jex
「你……為什麼……」布麗姬特收起小刀幫忙止血，試著整理混亂思緒，「到底怎麼回事？我們在哪？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2cWWD7ka8
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWalIxVuQZ
「金度將軍下令將您活捉，甚至要進行拷問，那完全不像他，在下……違反軍紀，把您帶到這艘運輸船，不小心中槍。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSGDSxoaGE
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDU6fhWWEX
「父親果然……可是，要逃到哪呢……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJTnyvaRrf
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaNSuKVvco
麥西米利恩推動油門，艙內顛簸加劇，「我的計畫是……突破大氣層，換乘機體甩開追兵，尋求庇護……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBgdLDUlaK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5caf3qU1Y
閃光與震動逐漸停止，太空梭飛出地球，迎接它的，是數萬顆攻擊衛星組成的防禦陣列。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6oNRrVcke
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrjZnk6qOK
濃密雷射交織亂舞，瞬間把船身大卸八塊。煙塵與碎片之中，一架機械半人馬浴火出擊。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpnrAp0tiA
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjgk3DzrY7
四足推進器猛踏真空；雙手握槍殺出重圍。侍衛武將專用機「山杜爾‧弓騎」且戰且走，披肩裝飾燒毀也無妨，因為繡在上頭的帝國旗幟，它已經不再效忠。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WsYuGgRpy

人馬機兵只有單一座位，騎士雙手緊抱公主減緩衝擊，同時透過神經連結裝置進行戰鬥。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZrPxwSzDw
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHw6zVI37Q
山杜爾左右閃避，展開槍柄上的柺刃，同時對應不同距離的威脅。但，攻擊衛星怎麼殺都殺不完，載著追兵的船隻也進入宇宙空間。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbbxYSTiAW

強烈光束在風暴中轟出一個大洞，正好讓山杜爾進入。大量碎塊因此改變軌道，開始往地球落下，攻擊衛星只好轉頭執行原本工作，擊落威脅皇都的隕石。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw3IWBm1R7
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs932Ewcq1Z
帝國追兵也被迫停止前進，因為衝進月球殘骸根本是自殺行為。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfZC4EhksT

人馬機兵在天昏地暗的亂塵中閃躲、跳躍。G力不斷拉扯布麗姬特全身，她終究還是支撐不住、再次暈厥。最後映入眼簾的，是騎士的全心全靈，還有通訊螢幕上的求助對象⸺和平重工。
公主與騎士成為不確定因素。同時間，木星圈也出了一位逃家貴族。他帶走的不是小小磁碟，而是大半數宇宙艦隊。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6dAlhrpC3

集結的新月、蠢動的帝國與重工。各方勢力角逐天下，外環抗軍仍蟄伏在太陽系邊境。他們能否成為燎原星火？一切都得在土星戰役見真章。
