閱兵結束後便是騎士受封大典。這次共有十五位在軍、政、學、醫領域表現傑出的候選人，大葆士便是其中一名。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW7RBKRrup

大葆士在化妝間整理妝容時，葛柏上尉前來找他。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCFJVLVWIJ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6o0xOOhSf
「少校，您今天辛苦了！」葛柏上尉愧疚地看著正被化妝師努力拆鬍的大葆士：「我必須為昨晚魯莽的言行跟您道歉！」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xiFnCoegZ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzGc8Nf4zx
「沒關係。」大葆士笑道。然而他的笑容因為臉頰被拉扯的關係，形成誇張弧度。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ8JSyy8tZ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY48803QAX
「不，我真的很抱歉！您是很偉大的機擬員，我必會用餘生誓死效忠您！」葛柏上尉說完，用力行了一個完美軍禮！328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9L68tgrNv
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRjzVMLkkM
大葆士正要回禮時，一直拔不下來的假鬍突然鬆脫，他就這樣一頭撞上梳妝台！328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwePJmnnpI
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3wyjcb99O
「哎呀！我的歡鴿！」眾人驚叫。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mogt3MSAK
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cwdtDjFFs
受封大典在柏金漢宮主殿──「柏金大堂」舉行。女皇及主要王室成員皆會齊聚一堂，給予受封者祝福。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UnByVOfcg
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KuHrI06Aa
大葆士換上正式軍官裝，以真實模樣參與典禮。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtqinBm3mD
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY2EHpSBa8
原本戰神殿打算讓大葆士依照宣傳照的形象出席，但美編部和公關部在看到大葆士閱兵的野人樣後，毅然決然放棄了這項決定。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MfAbn50f7
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqZYaBpryo
弄巧成拙的失誤，一次就夠了。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMX7nYe5su
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlugsFZF8Mp
大葆士是第一次進入柏金漢宮的主殿，平民無法入內，只有王室貴族和高階政要才能登堂。然而，只要成為王室騎士，日後便可以自由進出主殿，享受最低貴族的待遇。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKU0FlDcQn
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocqC5FIdAD
輪到大葆士進行受封了。他慎重的走上台階，在女皇腳前屈膝跪地。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh7Wu0euGa
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW2lGUKKPK
「機擬員少校大葆士 ‧ 溫頓，吾今日奉歡鴿旨意，冊封汝為荊心騎士。今後汝將不惜一切保衛國土，守護弱者。無畏不懼！無堅不摧！此誓言汝必銘記在心，永誌不忘！」女皇平舉沒有劍尖的長劍，將其按在大葆士的右肩上，祝福道。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAx72s8Y3X
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd6NolXmMG
女皇收起長劍，微彎下腰扶起大葆士，布滿皺紋的臉龐帶有無比的暖意。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMVBZL8dxV
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKnq44qbWP
「孩子，你今天表現得很好，布列斯托能擁有你是何等的幸運。」女皇看著大葆士輕語，後者臉頰泛起紅暈。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DV0JizU4O
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjVt7VK5oU
「謝謝您的讚賞，女皇陛下。」大葆士不敢貿然直視女皇，當上騎士是布列斯托平民的夢想。對於 10 歲還躺在髒亂酒瓶堆裡過活的大葆士而言，可從來沒想過自己會有這麼一天。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0u9Qj9pdK
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj0eoglaVX
「不過你好像長得跟剛才不太一樣呢。」女皇露出慈祥帶點慧黠的微笑：「這才是你原本的樣子，對吧？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTAwloKylS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb5lzBXjPT
「是的，女皇陛下。」大葆士有些尷尬的低下頭。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmBcH072ak
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO42WoJ8f19
接著是授與騎士胸章的儀式。依照布列斯托王室傳統，每位騎士將由大王子或大公主的子嗣親手別上騎士胸章。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SsDXtUEb0
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM5GPivX9u
大王子威卡漢 ‧ 金列斯有三名孩子，這次的授與儀式將由今年滿 20 歲的三公主──艾雀 ‧ 金列斯主持。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnFGGDrhhr
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PTCbwU76I
艾雀 ‧ 金列斯三公主為王室著名的可人兒，也被媒體譽為集美麗與感性於一身的文學公主。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DsbQxBXIU
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqz7TQpfnp
艾雀三公主雖然還是大學生，卻已經出版過不少膾炙人口的愛情文學作品。美麗的她擁有眾多追求者，也因此經歷過幾段戀情。而這些戀情都幻化成她筆下的唯美愛情故事。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr7N8BoIMZ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu1RM0DZPF
身著水藍半肩禮服的艾雀公主依序為一字排開的新任騎士們別上胸章。有好幾名男性騎士在對上艾雀公主那水靈靈的大眼時，臉頰同耳根子紅了起來！328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnmuUVE7c7
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGeeZxGLsH
「願歡鴿祝福你。」艾雀公主清澈好聽的嗓音讓騎士們聽得如癡如迷。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvRMiTAY0J
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV0s5A54bZ
艾雀公主捧著特製胸章盒來到大葆士面前，她看向大葆士，後者眼睛眨也不眨的直視她。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfX2bOoGKe
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ixESszoPD
「……願歡鴿祝福你。」艾雀公主停頓了兩秒，隨後打開盒子，為大葆士別上胸章。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAIpVbAnpq
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWkwSXKeSE
別好胸章後，艾雀公主纖長的手指停在大葆士的胸口上，遲遲沒有移動。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEO3xFhBVS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHw13r4jyb
「殿下，該輪到下一位了！」一旁侍從小聲提醒，艾雀公主這才回過神！她快速抽回手，尷尬地離開大葆士面前。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjowwJxeVUa
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPQEXah7MF
受封大典結束後便是下午茶會。原本大葆士預計在結束後前往「象牙基地塔」與巴特夫進行交接，但女皇讓人傳訊給他，希望他能留下來與年紀相仿的王子公主們一起喝杯茶。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuyGyXrPvq
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbywSL7StN
大葆士來到茶會舉行地點，也就是皇宮後花園。花園由專業花匠精心打造，並聘請園丁隨時照護，別緻景象讓大葆士在花叢前逗留許久。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeJL2WdNsv
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx3XFpERHZ
「那是『金葉莓』，口感甜甜澀澀的。」大葆士的背後響起清澈女音，大葆士連忙側身彎腰，朝艾雀公主行禮：「艾雀殿下好。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYOFSf6GcA
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnshtHm06I
「你好，溫頓少校。」艾雀公主露出淺笑：「你對植物有興趣嗎？喜歡的話，不妨摘一個試吃看看，我小時候很常吃的。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95eaiEsCzx
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutvDE789F7
「不用了，謝謝殿下。」大葆士維持行禮姿勢不動。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNnC8GtRIQ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkumBkmeKt
「沒關係的，啊，你請先站好吧。」艾雀公主伸手摘了一顆顏色最為鮮豔的莓果，遞到大葆士手上：「請用，溫頓少校。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh8NxBaSbM
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZvJF1hbeZ
「謝謝殿下。」大葆士直起身，接過公主給的莓果。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFhTOGIuWz
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRro520HGra
「金葉莓的汁液具補血作用，對女性來說是很好的補品。殿下可請御廚幫您熬煮成果茶，飯後飲用。」大葆士說完將莓果放進嘴裡。艾雀公主眨眼。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOh6aI9jK4
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvEkOl2rcB
「聽聞少校是高閣醫學大學跳級畢業的高材生，果然是博學多聞！」艾雀公主讚揚道：「溫頓少校，我想邀請你一同到位上喝茶，不知你意下如何？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfyXVuFh4L
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZik45kbz65
「那是我的榮幸，殿下。」大葆士再度彎腰。鮮豔莓果其實是過熟的，味道很苦，他心想。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PudMYq36J
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsad8vQQ9rD
在艾雀公主的邀請下，大葆士來到茶會區。只見穿著精緻的貴族們一派輕鬆的坐在典雅沙發上，邊聊天邊享用美味茶點。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02YaPyQKSK
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA1jVghLW8
「溫頓少校，請坐。」艾雀公主讓侍女去準備新鮮茶點，打算與大葆士一起享用。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydYyHoIR5M
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBhZEZxFQt
然而，大葆士卻是站在原處，一動也不動。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlbtPPpg57
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuA0ALbw7P
「溫頓少校？」艾雀公主輕喚道，大葆士盯著眼前享受生活的王室貴族們，瞳孔失去光澤。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4hDhA4RR2
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwfaqehjnN
「大葆士？」艾雀公主喊道，大葆士回神，面帶歉色的朝公主行禮道歉。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMXpjolSZe
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG78dlcsRm
「不用那麼拘束，其實我們年紀差不多的。」艾雀公主笑道：「以後只有我們兩個的話，你不用對我行禮，說好了。」她小聲補充。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXOCuj4yDQ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VZKjDdYMa
「好的，殿下。」大葆士點頭。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxKGBFJ0Z8
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR5d3nBDIT
侍女提著點心塔和剛泡好的奶茶上桌。大葆士看著裝滿精緻茶點的餐塔，露出笑眼。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgzM6lxfHG
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEQ3gWf20J
「少校喜歡吃甜點嗎？」艾雀公主注意到大葆士在笑，於是問道。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsfU6Dl85V
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkg8UDGOX9
「Hehe ，不是，只是第一次看到這麼漂亮的食物。」大葆士專注看著塔上的小蛋糕，殊不知艾雀公主正透過餐塔的間隙欣賞他的表情。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCI94NRVmL
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6AxR3N4J6
「請吃吃看。你喜歡的話，我可以再請御廚準備一份。」公主笑道。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCgN9hhYdt

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFG5vUrg4U
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCWd81p5lh
「請問少校有閱讀文學書籍的習慣嗎？」飲茶過程中，艾雀公主問道。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0AREoTXpT
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ916Tjs4a5Y
「有的，閒暇時會看。」大葆士小心翼翼的把蛋糕上的白巧克力片摘下，艾雀公主眨眼。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrj5QTyAWD
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlhD6l2tc2
「那……你都看什麼類型的？情感類的你會看嗎？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5BRrwSjcM
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEEEIPeRe0
「多半是哲學，不看情感。」大葆士把巧克力片放進口中，艾雀公主抿嘴。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKNHVRNwK7
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbTMVTTPvt
「希望我這麼問不會冒犯到你。」艾雀公主看著大葆士：「請問少校有情人嗎？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3nPwsCcBz
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V9dRrCFTO
大葆士挑眉，公主見狀連忙打圓場。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8bd9iwdNT
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhCDK3nsFJ
「請別誤會，因為你剛才提到很少在看情感作品，所以我才好奇是不是已經有陪伴對象才不感興趣……」艾雀公主伸手撥弄垂在耳際下的髮絲，模樣有些失措。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOcqbPp8DT
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM53LFNaDL
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXD244gi18
「我沒有情人，也認為自己不值得擁有。」大葆士望向遠方若隱若現的鋼鐵牆：「我能做的，就是保護各位與各位的情人，讓大家能安心延續人類的文明。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhSoQUizUK
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZfMdpChyC
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FxUBOVgDk
「請別這麼說，溫頓少校。」艾雀公主皺起漂亮的濃眉：「我完全不認為你不值得擁有，你在大眾眼裡是相當出眾的男性。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRLb7y2iRs
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8hxle4Suj
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ku5fKhtzK
「艾雀姊姊！」公主身後傳來銀鈴般的笑聲，只見一名穿著新潮的亮麗女孩從背後一把環住她的脖子，將頭抵在她的肩頸處笑看坐在對面的大葆士。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKDovSQ5s8
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35P1d9KZJ9
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu59iSBrNRG
「欸？這位該不會就是那個機擬員少校？」女孩睜大眼打量大葆士：「你的鬍子咧？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAygCGfOM57
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmd4oRZjKt
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IcfqoZXEO
「希文，在貴賓面前這樣太沒禮貌了。」艾雀公主無奈道，她輕搖頸部示意女孩鬆手。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHqlSATnyB
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1SHXDNNUj
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaQKCxFtyD
「您好，希文 ‧ 溫莎 ‧ 衛利普公主殿下。」大葆士對這名字有印象，他連忙從位上站起，對溫莎大公爵今年剛滿 18 歲的愛女行禮。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1wo587e14
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbZwJl74zN
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRGvvspQEq
「我太驚訝了！沒想到大葆士 ‧ 溫頓實際上這麼年輕！」希文公主坐到艾雀公主旁邊：「哇！長得還有點可愛欸！」她眼角勾起。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLGsOPv3em
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9wL8HkC7k
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLvESZqjut
「希文，我正在──」艾雀公主話還沒講完，立即被前者打斷！328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1ewxNoC1I
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfccxGXSCKl
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ns0JUqdWS
「溫頓少校知道我嗎？有在雜誌上看過我嗎？」希文公主說完站起身，開始在附近走起台步。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQdg7xMto9
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdx93NBt73
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0040IexzBd
「知道，殿下是模特兒。」大葆士回答，猜謎他可從來沒輸過。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv5VJ3AcHL
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkv82BiPVM
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjjPXt6j9b
「哇！好開心喔！」希文公主甩動淡亞麻色的波浪大捲髮：「那你覺得我漂亮嗎？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CFDBbkjf3
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dlV1z8JYU
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrNZBp25rG
「殿下非常漂亮。」大葆士沒有多想的附和。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW7jo42JN4
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiawKAqwHo
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY3jxHdmeg
「真的嗎？可是你從剛才開始就沒有在看我啊！只是一直看著後面的樹！」希文公主說完來到大葆士旁邊，緊挨著他的腳邊蹲下並且仰頭望著他。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYpIbcDUwo
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgMqMC1Jgj
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT14Jvm4Ib
「不！殿下靠太近了！」大葆士趕緊從椅上離開，一不小心撞上正在送茶的侍女！328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM4g5n9YGb

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLknniV8Pb
名貴茶壺從托盤上飛出，大葆士見狀立即伸出右手！魔方迅速從腕帶蔓延而出，眨眼間便構成一具機械手臂，在茶壺落地前及時接下！328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0869ztyJw
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LgJzlKdHR
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tT4pWEiHI
「哇塞！」看到這幕的王室貴族們不禁放聲驚嘆！侍女連連對著大葆士鞠躬致謝，後者則是趕緊解除魔方。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lnDaUAAe1
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBiZL7O1iK
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIsRQ2von2
「兩位殿下非常抱歉，時間不早了，我得趕去『象牙基地塔』進行交接。很榮幸有這個機會跟兩位聊天。」大葆士對公主們行完禮後，迅速離開。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOndAvjMUeV
