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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKUQ1XVkZt

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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECOZX0W5v0
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnTQDpELnS
「您身體還好嗎？要不要休息一下？」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXjlkCRwpU

「真的嗎……太好了，終於……」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8xSPfNYqC
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePEHlgaVzU
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx72LSUlwr
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO376ginSiK
「原諒我……埋首工作，都沒注意到妳已經……長這麼大了……」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpkdGmdCv7
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzcUL5X5xF
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……」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6g8xTNeCc
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTE6nK7KYU

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVKEzxh0ws
不要相信任何人。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwaICDA41J

沉重告誡閃過布麗姬特腦海。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgAhmCfae0
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8nFLlgvYn
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnKLqglScT
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPeiD7nkV5
「小儲存碟？在哪裡？」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Wlvgqotg

「是……父親，我這就回寢室找找……」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctSo5rZGEv
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK5iJiFbwf
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARgMqRSuyO
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVkryvQrAI
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZizRsKDvN
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDp8dNNlvB
一片黑，什麼都看不見。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61v9bqmlRE
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGa9d3aLrU
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtspWg4KJxs
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6ores7fs2
「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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz5obIFcHz

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。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhxnWf1ujS
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljtZLcvVH9
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScJe1oyerO
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA6BBCoX95
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mMZXs0foq

「快逃、快逃……」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oy4R9WqBJ

但是，又能逃去哪？沒了家室，她要怎麼活下去？427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZPbnW48Tx
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImPZKj3XnM
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpPL8vrCWG
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmRZwGRQWg
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBH33hGQtn

「誰……騎士大人？」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaT2Ucq6fc
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfumjVY169x
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgpvYuDvVR

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HU5sn6cbi
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtbnOVGdKe
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYnQdl5wAQ
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQicPPaINz0
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh3wBH1XSx
安寧病房窗外是紅色汪洋，母親嚥下最後一口氣。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ111YDCcEi5
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxxosyTEiG
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY6QYWWt8A

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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72bj7U0h7G
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17cmfDLQxc
「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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8zjlb9DLS
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMzr7Dridy
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs2b2624o2
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtoWbDUrG7
「大小姐，我願接受任何懲罰，但必須等我們成功脫逃……」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWgN4dfa4K

「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？」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiJVoORRSM
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnFmB2dFcZ
「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。」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBOHwmE6Lh
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWP4ZTqXAU
「父親果然……可是，要逃到哪呢……」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgyYX30mIX
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxtcN7KTBn
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……」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbef88ekuIG
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeykrYZCYp1
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFBq1W7Hs4
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDYDrpjyF2
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAj3t9DLpt
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ISEIg1onz
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMT9GOeCQI

「大小姐，請您忍耐！」427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFxi2Xg7gM

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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9yl21ilBn
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgiFkZSN4Y
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiW6xKTUJd

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI7KM6bKRB
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbwYhv5BsK
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH9gZi5vWk
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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2i2qGUm7s

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。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNndcOPp5u2

親后派份子被關進運輸艇，運回木衛四。元帥只留下少數守軍，因為有纏結通訊裝置，離開家園也能隨時掌握狀況。427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOeqCMOlaz

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。
