一般的孩子學會說話的時候，第一個會的詞是「媽媽」。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMSpPFdwV6
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVbduI3jAx
可是龍卻跟一般的孩子有點不一樣，他第一個說出口的詞彙，是「父親」，他第二個詞則是「徹」。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZgyrcO3nl
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3KvWPp3zb
徹．曼德沙，魔族之王，也他父親的名字。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMtyrygNta
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCkn1ITQBW
他的人生也圍繞著父親開始。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRg8YbRz9M
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwqPcSH9sG
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQrkmN7NXb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLLm6Kb9Rb
從有記憶開始，徹總是陪伴在身邊。對龍而言，徹是他的父親、兄長、老師，更是他的世界。對幼時的他而言，這些詞彙並沒有差別，在龍理解這句話的意思之前，就已經樹立了不少敵人。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1pei27APs
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqeh3QGe4N
不論是哭是笑，徹總是在他身邊，龍只有很少的時候才會獨處，有記憶以來，龍總是在等待徹，以至於身邊的人向他搭話讓他楞了一下。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItOtiOKWjk
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxInsNms0cT
這個人是魔族的皇后，是坐在徹身邊的女人，叫做星澄。她的短髮齊耳、五官端正，相貌比看起來更年輕。她對龍招了招手，表情看不出是什麼意思。她猶豫了許久，才說：「龍，你跟陛下太親近了。如果覺得無聊，可以找露陪你。老待在陛下身邊，像是什麼樣子。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASoynpKA0b
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdhcPqmJas
「什麼樣子？」龍抬起頭，女人有瞬間愣住了：「就像是情人。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8wMrACUiH
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLujnGudICo
「什麼是情人？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhW2DTG3HB
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1Mzn2DOuW
「這是個好問題，我想想該怎麼回答。」星澄被這問題噎住了，她蹙著柳眉，認真思索著，「所謂的情人，就是見不得光的存在。這些人，只能在黑暗中待在愛人身邊的存在。是注定被愛折磨的可憐人。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZBNkKS23k

「什麼是見不得光？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl5SnVOGOA
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjgL2cACaa
「就是在一起很丟臉，沒有人會承認你。」星澄耐著性子說下去，「我會勸勸他，但我想未必有效。我只是想告訴你，這樣下去……」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP785UyAgwx
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVYntfFKPv
「這樣下去？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgPEIbbLuV
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSnGzhDRSo
星澄皺著眉頭，「你們會後悔。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RtZBgLh9R
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1MxFlaCv1
龍微微歪頭，不知道是不是聽懂了，老氣橫秋地回了一句：「我知道了。」這神情與口吻，簡直就像是他父親。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGe3XjRtt7
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY5GnfsAEb
星澄笑道：「你該做的，是多多認識同年的孩子。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1voA4NtZW
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbxGRV1w9W
「我只有徹就夠了。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZeEn2JOaS
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnjvCQYr29
星澄道：「如果你只有一個避風港，一旦這個地方消失，你就會崩潰。雖然我不知道你能聽懂多少，但是，這確實是我的肺腑之言。如果你聽不懂，那很好，一但聽懂的那天，請你認真考慮我的話。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6ENPUFRzL
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAYkaVXATy
龍認真地看著她，記著她說的話，笑逐顏開。「謝謝您，皇后陛下。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdRnD1nybw
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcf2d1SoHP
然而，這卻是這對名義上的母子最後一次平和地談話。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3qrtSuwtA

整個魔界只有小皇子會直呼魔王陛下的名諱。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvakhhy4N3
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj5DFUSm5p
這稱呼帶著的縱容與溺愛，讓皇宮對這位小王子避而遠之。不管到哪裡，都看得到他們兩人的身影。王需要工作，小皇子也該學習。這時候，徹就會留下幾本書，然後在他臉上留下親吻，為了討好父親而學習。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3GSjGdNBf
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs1RVXe72N
達成目標之後，徹會給他一個禮物。從糖果、玩具、娃娃、魔獸的心臟、書本以至於一整天的時間，心思敏捷、好奇心十足的小皇子什麼都要求過。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBNwfFgsgr
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohpv8j6tyi
六歲的某一天，龍要求了一個特別的禮物：「可以親我嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBywElgfR6c
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYEmaJNMRd
徹很驚訝，「你知道這代表什麼意思嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8oVRBXgfR
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3rHMOiKUQ
「是很喜歡的意思。你不喜歡我嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2mzLywwsF
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow8NcoAhHs
「……你是我的孩子，我當然喜歡你。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxeqQ8OaqM
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X9YsszWDv
龍笑了開來，小雞啄米似的親吻了徹。他伸手捧住徹的臉，見他稍微側頭避開，卻不高興了：「不要亂動。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a9cdn9UKA
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pe8LObCa7
「為什麼突然想這麼做？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno3MH8vrCl
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoRKnbSxta
龍有點得意：「因為大皇后說不可以。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEYo36vnLV
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PHiksUHra
徹把他摟到懷裡，發出低笑：「你討厭她嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyTWojIx5x
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN591LM7xga
「不討厭，但也不喜歡。我聽不懂她在說什麼。我覺得他很煩。」龍蹭到了父親懷裡，「但我不喜歡她看著我的表情，她討厭我獨佔你。所以，我就特別想看她不舒服的表情，惹她不高興。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3c10Yy6ce
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVWrNeMDy9
「……為什麼？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vfAqNGXqK
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxI2mK87bk
「因為無聊。」龍微微抬起頭，做出了親吻的動作，卻沒真的吻下去，自顧自地咯咯輕笑。徹維持笑容，卻說：「別擔心，我會跟她談談。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUJfzUPYe9
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8RJ58Re7D
「好啊。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo7wlxWEL9
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZybKIAdcFD
龍隨口回應了幾句，開始講起這幾天的生活。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEdZFPT1tr
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGNbMHXTr5
「說起來，我見到姊姊了。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG23WdlJB5
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY0HFaYgkw
「哪個姊姊？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTJwURcYcc
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvOBTRWWXV
「叫做露，跟大皇后很像。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhhY2PX3SV
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnNi5RFF94
星澄讓他跟姊姊露見了面，這個大他二十歲的姐姐見了他就特別興奮，老是繞著他轉或者送東西。龍口中雖然嫌煩，敘說時卻滿臉笑容，顯然對這個姊姊很有好感，還不時發出笑聲。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2a7IQJO6r
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQnJuRSO0n
徹本來很樂於讓龍有自己的生活圈，也信得過露的性格，就乾脆把龍交給她。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn33T2m1Ya

這幾天，徹經常不在，偶爾回來也是滿身血腥。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm9OaKgmUQ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGc621BFIM
拖著疲憊的身體回到了皇宮，本來就推開房門，卻停了下來。他轉過頭，在龍的離宮休息。這離宮本來是他給自己的休憩處，最初為了在星澄的手中保護龍的性命，就見了這個離宮。現在，這裡是龍的寢宮，也是這位小暴君的住處。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YTn9Ebc8Z
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMhFWvkdVK
明月高掛，魔族是受到黑暗所愛的種族，入夜之後傷口恢復得很快，如今，身上的傷痕已經看不見了。黑色衣服浸鮮血，散發濃厚的血腥氣，倒影中那張少年清秀的臉龐沒有笑容，眉眼中殺氣四溢。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj1pofIF0O
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcrwrm3SHe
……平靜不下來。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxneahMgWQ8

傷口好了，卻仍隱隱作痛，死者的哀鳴與憎恨言猶在耳。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWDEThie6S

徹望著水中的自己，戲謔地抬了台嘴角。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt15E91uk9P

「真可悲，就像是受傷的野獸一樣。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOL0f8Lo8f
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaJig320UL
為什麼還是無法習慣？這種時候，他經常難以入眠，也不能回到寢宮。大皇后星澄出自魔族的神之國「月妃郡」，生來就是祭司的她對與血腥味特別敏感。剛結婚的時候，他們因此有過爭吵，所以才有這棟離宮。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2BOndus41

這是魔王的責任，只要在王座上的一天，就必須懷抱著痛苦活下去。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriQkYssrUf

這痛苦是活著的證明，是存在的證明。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkhQg0fyzG
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBU1nFe6pa
幾百年來，他一直是這樣想的。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60AFRl2GTy
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fGXAMTKmZ
「……徹，你回來了。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gSO0NI7tu
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCtEUs00Er
屬於孩童的聲音半睡半醒，徹愕然抬頭，看見龍揉著眼睛走過來。徹下意識想跟他拉開距離，「怎麼還不睡？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8j9n6zOnz
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyIfLaQH4s
「還沒有跟你說晚安。」他的聲音很模糊，向是撒嬌又像懇求。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4aT1913vQ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIBrkuNCLb
「不要過來。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHTe1yjZgW
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrfE4mPvLz
龍微微歪頭，「為什麼？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx9dPNEzfd
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vfsiXfi6J
「我身上有血腥味，怕你害怕。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah1T4ylIYW
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxVI0qcKer
龍跟平常一樣向他走來。「我聞到了，但是沒關係，很快就會洗乾淨了。」扔下的魔劍在池邊發出詭異的哀鳴，鮮血的氣味幾乎染紅了大半片池水。龍湊在浴池邊對他笑：「晚安，徹。」他想了想，「晚安吻？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSTwlWWIEP
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAn4rfM7We
徹不禁失笑，這肯定是從露或者冽那裏學來的。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvYprNCStB
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD0YtlmP3x
那兩個孩子已經成年，即使在戀人面前舉動親密也不避諱，龍經常有樣學樣，有時候讓他覺得非常困擾。卻只有這次，他特別感謝這種胡鬧。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3CRf1JJId
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iCzTTiJcK
徹扶著額頭，發出壓抑的低笑。「過來。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN9um1rgBP
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bzrGAMhIJ
龍沒有猶豫，踏過了滿地血腥走過來。徹在龍垂頭的時候，湊上去吻了他。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRsoAnd9UP
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqcU3rVsCT
「不要等我了。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWPuegjzmu
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XmltWsCTT
龍道：「我就要等，你看，我不是等到你了？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqQwMc0fpL
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdjLn0w7q5
徹啼笑皆非地看著他，不知何故，隱隱作痛地傷口似乎不再疼痛。他遲疑地開口：「以後……我也能過來嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMRfr4DKtX
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd0h7s9nbo
「好啊。」龍笑起來，紫羅蘭色的眼眸看來天真又邪氣，「如果你不來，一定要先告訴我，我會想著你進入夢中。這樣一來，我們就可以在夢裡相遇了。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsbKRAr4H6
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu16p4Al26w
徹俯視著他。「你不怕我嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNVqrdnt50
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEAflWJfnr
「為什麼要害怕？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81OCrpNhbL
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2r77ekPpm
徹深深地吻了他，這回卻不是像上一次那樣打招呼的親吻。龍被他吻得臉頰微紅，恍惚的看著他卻笑了：「太好了，是平常的徹。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrAQpSzbeY
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDtE3xC9wb
如果說是哪一步走錯了，或許就是那時候的第二個吻吧。從那之後，只要受了傷，徹就會回到龍的身邊。從這天開始，徹經常會跟龍一起過夜。光是看著他，痛苦就會減輕，即使被詛咒纏繞也能夠入眠。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwtncpek04
