暴雨伴隨著夜幕降臨王國已經有十來日了。雷聲與閃電不甘示弱，一聲聲雷鳴讓人震耳欲聾。如水晶般透徹的雨珠大滴大滴地砸向玻璃窗，狂風在外頭咆哮，彷彿下一秒便能將窗戶擊個粉碎。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOYkV5BHnh

伊德里爾的寢宮裡僅有的光源只剩床頭櫃的上的圓形檯燈，米黃色的微光默默奉獻著它的光芒。除了照亮平常睡覺的那一側外，其餘的地方全像是被刷上了黑色油漆，無法看清。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmHYWLJmlt
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJHpz62vDu
「哈啊……」伊德里爾換完白色連身裙睡衣，坐在梳妝台前將置於胸前的髪辮解開，隨後走向窗台把窗簾唰的一聲拉上。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyvUZw2lP4
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoz0j6jj1s
恐懼──是與生俱來的一種心理反應，並且在人類的七情六欲中佔有一席之地。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0CHmJc98q
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP2Kt4dDwz
當然……精靈族也不例外。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxhiVZYta3
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyfd4bxmnG
轟隆！226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4wNfGUyHO
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQFoALbLn7
一道閃電劃破了夜色帷幕，光亮轉瞬即逝。而炸雷的聲響卻嚇得伊德里爾如膽小的老鼠般竄進厚重的被子裡。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS9rN2F3Jt
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UYseswUw6
在被窩的保護之下，伊德里爾能減少雷聲對自己的傷害。雖然精靈的尖耳相較於人類更為靈敏，但也十分脆弱。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwrkVDepDc
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT3b5U831o
伊德里爾將被子牢牢裹住自己，只露出一顆頭再度朝窗戶的方向看去。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNUYENEGJZ
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFY333uAMl
似曾相似的情景在伊德里爾的腦中浮現──猛烈的大雨、響徹雲霄的轟雷、混亂的步伐、刺耳的金屬碰撞聲。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2LGNweNYn
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloMv2bQdUM
伊德里爾用顫抖的雙手摀住兩耳，弓起腿，將整張臉埋進了雙腿間。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJuFMP7KS2
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgUdMTCUpE
她以為她已經忘了。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVGQQ74ok9
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FdPpQluG3
長壽對她來說如同攀附在全身的荊棘，而記憶就像是荊棘上的刺，兩者的共同點是──伊德里爾都沒辦法輕易擺脫。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zeBFIyYDE
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrwR5oSN05
好不容易找到了自己的容身之處，是一個和出生地相似、和平又幸福的國家。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBKjqwNNo7
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlhHUm54Rh
可過去經歷的場景每日每夜、不厭其煩地造訪伊德里爾。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG37mIIneus
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaORkz8lEM
曾經侍奉過最終卻毀滅的王國在夢裡化作一場戲無止境地再演，夢魘伸出無數隻手將她束縛在前排的位子，令無法動彈的伊德里爾痛不欲生。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRwbXAGsF3
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2gP7IFirr
「絕不能重蹈覆轍，我一定要守護好王國。」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGOGOpXHzV
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr0e9Lp7sp
這句話是在伊德里爾成為王國的祭司之前，於心中發過的誓言。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTHTdlBVpA
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpMeERUs90
咿呀……226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3uXb9UrZ5
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH7shnA5r3
伊德里爾的耳朵抽動了一下，聽見似乎有人悄悄地推開了大門。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXO4JFpNYE
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnbQpl9OdP
「是誰？」伊德里爾連忙將被子撫平，將它覆蓋於腰上。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65VPXhSWoq
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N0hbXi3U1
片刻，從暗處緩緩現身的是──端著熱茶的阿特里奇。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZIYDBSHSm
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ836IdyxKXL
「打擾您休息十分抱歉。」阿特里奇將托盤輕放於床頭櫃上。「王后殿下要我替您送來。」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5pfEc6FfR
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFtzG8RKlB
伊德里爾眼底閃過一絲驚訝。她以為在今早的茶會上，自己已經成功瞞過王后殿下連續好幾天徹夜未眠的事情。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74c78jCPyv
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7kBABy2tZ
不過從白瓷茶杯飄散出來的薰衣草香可知──她失敗了。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMwu6TcahC
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe4DE5UuVb
「代我向王后殿下道謝。還有，也謝謝妳。」伊德里爾偏頭，給了阿特里奇一個欣慰的笑容。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fvtkqv0kq
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gELDTbqDu
阿特里奇頜首，不過卻沒有立即離開的意思，赤瞳仍然直勾勾地盯著伊德里爾。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVusIunp6lh
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvOjp75a4r
「怎麼了？」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVINEff6CEJ
「王后殿下要我親眼看著您把茶喝完。」阿特里奇將茶杯移到伊德里爾面前。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0c43YDOAO
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIucgXjFVj8
伊德里爾一怔，兩手接過捧起茶杯，一邊噘嘴把熱煙吹散一邊嘟囔「我又不是小孩子……」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QaMOtcUKH
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh3ios78Ho
鼻子湊近杯緣一聞，草香沿著鼻腔進入，散發著一股沁人心脾的芳香。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ4cikPcxF
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKTOdiQlwv
緊接著抬高杯緣緩緩飲下，杯中的液體輕輕地從咽喉滑入胃，讓伊德里爾緊繃的神經得以放鬆下來。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBLJMTuj3u
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ54vgP5Mg
自接過茶杯後，阿特里奇的兩隻眼睛未曾離開過伊德里爾，像是耐心等候飼主下一步動作的小狗。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnOtVthHXx
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPsl4slEfo
伊德里爾把飲盡後的杯底展現給一旁站直的白色大型犬看。「喝完了。」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTw8d4N8cM
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr4rYlMfyE
阿特里奇輕點頭，正想取回茶杯時──226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXTowjK4Fq
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNE5YleaTH
轟隆！226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tn81izM5p
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSdh5GU7B4
又是一聲足以驚天動地的雷響，雨也更大了。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0WWTTyPTF
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKgXnG5nLt
「嗚……」伊德里爾反射性把耳朵再次覆住，嚇得連白瓷茶杯也顧不得。正當要直落地面時，阿特里奇即時接住了。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2MS3iWbby
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTf2W46gVX
阿特里奇將茶杯擺回茶碟，立馬問道：「您沒事？」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuymf6Sn4l
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F11s0pT8R
「我、我沒事……」與她說的話截然不同──伊德里爾緊閉雙眼，肩膀微微顫抖。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjXpfhOLlk
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mvt61f5lM
「您害怕打雷？」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNQdYE0AmK
「……才沒有。」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCyeC3q27P
「您在發抖。」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9CLgtMfHq
「只、只是被嚇到了……！」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL5tj4Rgks
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVQ9M4Le3Y
出於維持形象以及想要趕緊驅散逐漸上浮的羞恥感，伊德里爾做出了與平常些微不同的應答。只不過阿特里奇不以為意。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzIcESdM6k
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC8idEUuZh
「擁有害怕的事物並不需要感到丟臉。」阿特里奇單膝跪地，仰望伊德里爾。「容我多嘴再問一遍，您沒事嗎？」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS5N4wyyPl
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzs1QZK5Vx
伊德里爾撐開眼皮，恰好對上了阿特里奇火紅的雙瞳，彷彿急迫地尋求問題的答案。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBhqqC8tJX
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09XAZ0F35a
「……不。」伊德里爾隱藏在體內深處的字句撬開了唇逃了出來。「我……我很害怕……」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4SUlBknp3
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC12TYsIkdu
語畢，阿特里奇閉上眼像是在思考什麼，最後一邊說著「失禮了」一邊坐到伊德里爾左側。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy95R4Ugswn
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wVeYJvQNW
隨後，阿特里奇有些肢體不協調地伸手穿過伊德里爾的腰際，輕輕擁住了她。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0QIxTG6Fp
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiYSxTqJqo
「阿、阿特里奇……？」伊德里爾被這一系列的行為給愣住了，一時半會兒不敢輕舉妄動。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tp0eFiJ22
「這是我聽公主殿下說最適合紓解壓力和情緒的方法。」阿特里奇小心翼翼地收回手。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN3Mb25jOo
「這是我第一次這麼做……應該沒有弄痛您才是。」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrcL7F2Xjm
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeVEhNYfrE
「噗……哈哈……！」伊德里爾掩住嘴笑著，眼角甚至冒出了些許淚水。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrv7AqBkFU
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiq3qnYbr3
「伊德里爾大人？您在笑什麼？」阿特里奇面露疑惑，貌似對於伊德里爾越笑越高興感到不解。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM9sx30j74
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UXHs9n334
「哈哈……呼──」伊德里爾長舒一口氣，用食指抹去眼淚。「謝謝妳阿特里奇，我感覺好多了。」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElzWcu3w7f
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVpoBf4H90
「能替您消除壓力那當然是最好，那麼我先回房……」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRA4fCTRSi
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡropb29UEZL
「等等。」伊德里爾握住正要站起的阿特里奇的手。「夜也深了，要不妳今天就在我這裡休息吧？」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0rcN5kvlk
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsdhDSMxU3
「這個……」阿特里奇感覺被握著的手力道越來越大，而做出此舉的人笑意更深。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix8TWis22r
「我明白了。不過……」阿特里奇瞥了一眼梳妝台的木製椅子。「我睡在那就夠了。」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh85j1U6JC1
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzao8iaj9qf
伊德里爾眉梢下垂，像是一隻惹人憐愛的小貓。「不睡床上嗎？待會可能還有雷聲唷？」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE204I1SrI
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEUzJ9JuvJ
伊德里爾明白現在的狀況就像一位任性的小孩向母親索取想要的東西，只不過扮演母親的角色並不是自己，而是眼前撇頭不肯望向自己的白髮騎士。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqW95iQaiR
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE9YGns93f
「……您就別胡鬧了。」阿特里奇從伊德里爾的手上脫離掌控，將椅子拉近床邊後坐下。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1YjHIZbSr
而後，阿特里奇又朝伊德里爾伸出右手。「請容我用這種方式代替擁抱陪著您。」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzzPeGa1BH
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOmE1f5sw4
「我會待在這裡、待在您身旁，直到您安心入眠為止。」226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69HovL4kJI
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFuUEqmIjE
伊德里爾眨了眨眼，並把手掌輕覆於阿特里奇的。挪動身子平躺於床舖，最後闔上雙眼。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwLyM4GfmP
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcSgcJ0gRR
這份單純而直率的溫柔，任誰都不會想輕易放手的吧。伊德里爾在內心笑了笑。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRWHvNgsR3
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAStt2P3cGY
​那日，是伊德里爾有史以來睡得最安穩的一天。226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K2KWPrugv
