「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BTI9AjWow
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xQMpkQWc6
烏爾莉卡的視線越過鬣狗少年的肩膀，看見另一名更嬌小......甚至稱得上消瘦的嬌小身影站在不遠處。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz2pwqdQqI
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv9HMysvf3
這名女孩才剛滿十歲左右，如銀雪般色澤的髮絲與跟烏爾莉卡幾乎一模一樣，可與母親冷冽且堅定的目光不一樣的是，她的雙眸則透漏一份出於擔心受怕、逆來順從的神情。即使周遭的天氣潮濕炎熱，而且羊毛服裝將她從頭頂到腳裸包裹得緊緊的，她瘦小的身子卻仍在微微哆嗦，宛如寒風中的落葉，一吹就會飛走。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX748YSqKfd
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsCCwkxXdI
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2OXsRRfzF
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR1XSgDDEE
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEvVYcIjv3
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw7OiCJoxm
只見銀髮小女孩的肩膀一震；每當母親說出自己全名時，就代表她自己惹上麻煩了。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdmxQZys6q
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKEPFQu9ER
「你害媽媽擔心極了你知道嗎？妳怎麼沒告訴我就自己跑出去？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwYClFUxGr
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsoxmOCAge
烏爾莉卡的雙眸乍一看泛著幾乎可稱之為冰冷的色澤，但面對女兒時卻實實在在充盈著、並釋放著無法忽視的溫暖熱度。只不過當她在詢問女兒時，著急的口氣中帶了點咄咄逼人的味道。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i3biC8276
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIucsNS87g
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0qIcwzwuD
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgFckZK11R
直到此刻，烏爾莉卡才注意到女兒手上提著一只裝滿清水的木製水桶。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1TX3QKKLy
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WrQRPQxPW
「是他叫你去提水來的？」烏爾莉卡狠狠瞪向一旁癱坐在地上，乾咳著的鬣狗少年。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUElA7RbTde
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0x6kZTNI9
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg5pOT8w6u
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftjJP882wq
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNOsxDGNNT
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvQD2NZ1SZ
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNdu6EbkXa
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gcVLiXiAm
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPNZkuWNKy
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmqqLWT11B
「幫忙？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8qcjfFESh
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9tL5JZ7Fx
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbfYEPDIWz
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeOPr6eGCn
女兒這句話頓時觸動了烏爾莉卡的心弦，一陣難以言喻的刺痛與哀愁湧向她的心頭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xu9Hrd6mk
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZwldOsR9U
「傻孩子，挑水這種事交給我去做就行了。」烏爾莉卡說：「我們也可以向挑水夫買水呀。更何況水井又這麼遙遠，一路上可能會發生許多危險。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI9sut4zUh
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRdhwOvk55
「可、可是......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF295rARKWX
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlj7oSjwF4
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7aQR6iVCE
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWddKjF1qSU
「啊......喔......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoFTlyXrPX
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNE2dQu7es
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17oiuVxk3K
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7As7391b4y
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMK89RnnIt
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC9jLJUSXA
有些時候她還真希望女兒能對她大聲嚷嚷想要什麼，而不是把所有心事一股腦的全往肚裡吞。這孩子內斂性格多半是從她那繼承下來的，但莎薇卻嚴重缺乏在必要時挺起胸膛、堅定信念的勇氣與決心。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLF6dGuvoW
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbRh4erRHe
烏爾莉卡輕嘆一口氣；畢竟莎薇自出生後就不斷遭遇各種變動——而且還都是負面的那一種！1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqto2DA1Bdm
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhBAamUojj
每況愈下的生活環境，讓莎薇連一個舒服的夏日午後都得引頸期盼，最終導致她對於未來缺乏期許。更別她的未來簡直能稱之為一片迷茫。烏爾莉卡常常見到莎薇臉上露出茫然無神的表情，就連那一雙大大的眼睛都顯得目光渙散。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisjiKJBkqM
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkHs0q2cdW
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXaB5miSdJ
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhB8l6ayWB
不行！1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOysXfJwOF
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6URfHINdL
她搖了搖頭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pkeEvu2YJ
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj97JnRXflh
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7vIroonWn
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Eb0rywlt
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpfscVmNkr
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqluxZ18ROJ
就在此時，烏爾莉卡的思緒被艾塔奇的喃喃自語給拉了回來。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QaDvsVWOa
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZOeaXSxU0
她轉過頭去，看見剛才被自己抓起來的鬣狗少年搖搖晃晃地重新站起身子，他的臉色似乎還有些蒼白。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MUUsrE62J
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7C1kaYRQL
「下一次您又要找莎薇小姐的話，請別用這麼粗暴的方式。」艾塔奇邊說邊揉了揉自己發紅的脖子。「剛才是莎薇小姐主動找我去挑水，我一路上我都有看顧好她的安全。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAxjqs7Ykf
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRyK88laU0
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSNpvRKvnM
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS7TcgBaMo
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5OBFEZu1w
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgl0RIZHAI
「就......就算是這樣，我也不放心將她交給其他人帶，更別說是頭野獸人了。莎薇是我人生的一切。假如她發生什麼萬一的話，我絕對饒不了任何人......或鬣狗。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oo4MZAKbx
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimkYVfcW0A
烏爾莉卡本以為自己凌厲的目光會使對方膽怯，但艾塔奇反而直率地迎向她的目光。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ImBMfCvQm
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP22oJCynbm
「這是當然的！」艾塔奇拍胸保證，一字一句都誠摯無比。「我清楚曉得莎薇小姐對您有多麼的重要，我會盡自己最大的力量來保護她！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SVWUnHbZn
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeW2tRF89z
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbWmxrtEbu
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Ia1wgztJ
烏爾莉卡不自覺地避開他的視線，對眼前這名少年坦率的言行有點招架不住。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQbHcuF12P
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8quz08XvP
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIdtmqSbqK
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7pZ9DW2Ag
「您是我的女王。而我，出身於鬣狗獸族的艾塔奇，也曾發誓過女王的願望是我的願望！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4aSVvp4l7
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ApisVxbWY
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1pB4BnM5F
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ320XaiV1Ko
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUatbCvZIe
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlv7NEdl2z
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLJ2kbk0xf
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNliZEPnD2y
一位是他全心侍奉氏族族長，這是因為統治鬣狗氏族的皆是女子。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1knaYPQYP
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhFT2cYrJ1
烏爾莉卡夫人是我的妻子，所以我稱呼您為女王完全沒有問題！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0UGreDra0
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NnMBYmP41
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwEElv57Y9
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUwUcyJ9la
「可是我們倆已經在尼卡罕(nikah)——婚姻婚契上簽了名，從此我們倆就是夫.....夫妻了......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsCJy9MDKv
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYVocydgzE
烏爾莉卡忽然注意到艾塔奇雙頰泛起紅潮，只見他乾咳了幾聲，目光左右飄動，似乎不知道該看哪裡才好。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx9gbBS4Is
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dVS0R3giP
直到此時，烏爾莉卡這才發覺自己頭髮凌亂，幾縷銀色髮絲貼在脖頸上，脖子至鎖骨及雙峰處香汗淋漓。身上的白色羊毛上衣更是全被汗水浸溼，顯露出她曼妙姣好的身材。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgNgEhK998
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQVB4TMv6A
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K8fVLoirJ
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0tucggLLN
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7K5OMP0wJ
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpVOeJDfil
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOS3Dkc6cz
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra102Nlexy
「不需要！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu6NRKzOwc
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRvEgrqJzx
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCR2sVIDj3
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7qTkcgUU6
「又怎麼了？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAihp8E1oi
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsp5f23SUQ
「您住在這也有一個多星期了，」艾塔奇紅著臉緩緩的低下頭，一臉羞澀地說：「是時候該盡一下妳的.....職責吧？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrChBvxPqiJ
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0tIAEvQW0
「職責......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurd9i7bo2H
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6uMes1rCq
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBfqPMGKHL
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq5NBRQl4t
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTo12Q2Qg6
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55xGod0OZs
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5D1lmYnX7
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tO7nzmqOE
可是當烏爾莉卡重新面向對方，她正巧一眼對上艾塔奇那雙誠懇溫暖、閃閃發光的眼眸。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gXZnf4S3j
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpiYaSIFBr
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgEvveNUS6
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yPBjTHIi4
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCW3EhBfvM
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V43IsvrIh
「嗯。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUdfoMStYQ
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUbMAp5iob
烏爾莉卡冷漠地點了點頭，然後轉身離去。但是在那張冰冷面孔之下，卻是一個正在吶喊的靈魂。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3msuPxaeHE
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIKB5NyhuD
我明明是個三十歲的婦人，為什麼這個十二歲的男孩會成為我的丈夫啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0GkPyI1wF
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkHoRp3wPY
內心被這份難以言喻的困惑所衝擊，使得烏爾莉卡不禁回憶起自己過往的人生，以及不久前發生的那齣重大事件。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAOMuL7F8v
