一般的孩子學會說話的時候，第一個會的詞是「媽媽」。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56aqEBKFol
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcYBdQ64ZK
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」。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacX1jOqOxX
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AugbrEWqa
徹．曼德沙，魔族之王，也他父親的名字。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QEWfuwvj7
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFD4l2Xf8l
他的人生也圍繞著父親開始。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCnID3x1ML
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW1pLyK40n
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4UNt9JvrC
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YHjmeJzmo
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSovNsWbnKS
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d00kRjLgk
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL7CAYAHph
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbemQhDO8tQ
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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEmGQlSTxf
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxGP4x1oa9
「什麼樣子？」龍抬起頭，女人有瞬間愣住了：「就像是情人。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojKs3ppNEL
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsVHTF0wYI
「什麼是情人？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCJoX8NfOS
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c6bWCDSwZ
「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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiYQ9jR7bc
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrDpd4Moju
「什麼是見不得光？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNckGMgWFVg
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCPUq6YLam
「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……」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9uwa5LuL4
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcfweGX1Qd
「這樣下去？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKgtOBIHBn
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAz88O0QqZ
星澄皺著眉頭，「你們會後悔。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wM2KjB4rL
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDYbPc7S88
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk885lLgnj
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXBwuB58t3
星澄笑道：「你該做的，是多多認識同年的孩子。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg6xz6Iqa5
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM8TGljKXb
「我只有徹就夠了。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN2XLKsnwx
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXV5U2TITU
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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY6QjbK0ul
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG082ZZJdX
龍認真地看著她，記著她說的話，笑逐顏開。「謝謝您，皇后陛下。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe2P9u73Bf
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUPN79aBri
然而，這卻是這對名義上的母子最後一次平和地談話。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRHIWX3U0X

整個魔界只有小皇子會直呼魔王陛下的名諱。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBovtTdSoVq
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZncC0gAje4
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBycp4ZhG9j
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJue5VxFtjY
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTs8ojLqBI
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea90WUYDaT
六歲的某一天，龍要求了一個特別的禮物：「可以親我嗎？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg3iduJLCh
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPdmjnQbRH
徹很驚訝，「你知道這代表什麼意思嗎？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxvXYpFnkE
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KdUeQIbuE
「是很喜歡的意思。你不喜歡我嗎？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Sj3OAQrO
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yrkFp2imR
「……你是我的孩子，我當然喜歡你。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSfZrO973W
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jTK4EwkrZ
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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2HAah6y3Y
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh5Kelgp7Z
「為什麼突然想這麼做？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm1uWrE6gK
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhGLUrv740
龍有點得意：「因為大皇后說不可以。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E4CZ9Bmlo
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQjnLmEkb0
徹把他摟到懷裡，發出低笑：「你討厭她嗎？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE8QhjXOxz
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l2Slz9xSf
「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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHLLE88ojQ
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mv0DrpoBg
「……為什麼？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjBOFWE83b
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcy9VtMvcm
「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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb29iREb6Jc
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi34pzR3fPX
「好啊。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrPodimxaZ
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsbHcuVObT
龍隨口回應了幾句，開始講起這幾天的生活。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBfsOrmks8
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchkLj4KMsu
「說起來，我見到姊姊了。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiLRS8MAun
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWR7co58Vl
「哪個姊姊？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV1JVk4aH6
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSGV9A2noG
「叫做露，跟大皇后很像。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsMuzcfoEC
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgryHSuMYT
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalz4eQ6Qgy
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0asPlOl9EN
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUDFZP1q0O
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD01jGh6MKA
滄雨城王宮之內歌舞昇平，離開了都城卻是殺聲震天。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriguNa8O5D
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHH40VSRBB
這幾天，徹經常不在，偶爾回來也是滿身血腥。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71pRfSjJx3
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBOU08Oa1C
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk0QrqFD78
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMGj3yDMUC
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvAH0rs0xm
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V3XFhKwaA
……平靜不下來。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYAUl23TF4
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkKkOp0Cma
傷口好了，卻仍隱隱作痛，死者的哀鳴與憎恨言猶在耳。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTqp7kwIbI
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC461ZI9n3
太陽穴隱隱抽痛著。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR3cAnJfCJ
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkzcQi0fET
徹望著水中的自己，戲謔地抬了台嘴角。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ9RToSWZX
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZjYvxmRgI
「真可悲，就像是受傷的野獸一樣。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubezLBMiza
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YsMvJf4ba
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHMB0Lj8xS
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft9HSRToFX
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsGWxxZL5h
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMIlnIKrJV
這痛苦是活著的證明，是存在的證明。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7vV8J9sbY
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gKsCCZan7
幾百年來，他一直是這樣想的。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeSvjcXEz8
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1DogUEqg5
「……徹，你回來了。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnvi57fc0O
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98bLzUZJ0D
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？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtAdDs6XlY
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsP0hhS9i7
「還沒有跟你說晚安。」他的聲音很模糊，向是撒嬌又像懇求。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJebjZu17A
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYLvjmA5qc
「不要過來。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmdOpYY9gE
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f8WXUmlh0
龍微微歪頭，「為什麼？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcXSxq0O1n
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZszXkE3CSO
「我身上有血腥味，怕你害怕。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqlSAHp89t
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV58Fz5HA6
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？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYS3BDmD5L
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbUFvL6KnZ
徹不禁失笑，這肯定是從露或者冽那裏學來的。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbtfMf8hx4
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cPO8i5hJ2
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN08r1xrA4
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRuIy4CGWF
徹扶著額頭，發出壓抑的低笑。「過來。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiML8EfBN3
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3AjPjysLl
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcss1V4iaf1
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL698Uaf9sw
「不要等我了。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsaxvolEcr
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vTEjiPhUe
龍道：「我就要等，你看，我不是等到你了？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fUo3o8zOK
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HZB8Qcn5R
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？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOQbdZWs78
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5rq1imeh6
「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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrSM4kb8VF
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8lJG7DM89
徹俯視著他。「你不怕我嗎？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vRm6eNKwM
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SeT9Cnesh
「為什麼要害怕？」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Axj9FLDc
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCopKrFNHZI
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。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtutbih8PnV
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPzu4Ec9dg
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。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ipyU5ZKll
486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNsiRE9LnG
「對不起。」486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKn0CXlvrz

道歉重複了兩次，事實上，不管重複幾次都不夠。486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbo2F2LGfT
