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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQp0k0fCQL

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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Ify10Chc
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUlbtqtez2
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbDHAsKKyv
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLUz9QcUox
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdEBKtHWpf
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXUawuFsJB
當然……精靈族也不例外。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWU4mLzoig

轟隆！186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6rBsIAW6z
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHJ8g3GhNT
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDDc0zWkG0
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNrzagrsPl
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwQA9waWO5
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cBqRW33s4
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX7CYqjcYS
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmgIfUiKDU
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywLgBBbWOa
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCAx1gGPpz
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO3N0sQhTO
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4RlmgC62T
她以為她已經忘了。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirAgffwPES
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHfkAOdK1b
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX79hNLupo
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZnsDFWRic
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzqhZD461P
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuaUkKqOvW
可過去經歷的場景每日每夜、不厭其煩地造訪伊德里爾。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojB8K3g4Tz
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNbH0mwcaI
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWM0mnAwJE
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSfSOhb0TW
「絕不能重蹈覆轍，我一定要守護好王國。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYQ4a7n94x
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XD0SgNi5r
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzAonhZ61S
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDgEwJmgdM
咿呀……186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBDWvqFxO1
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS225OmZRh
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcubWq5GTH3
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKY2RwNgH0
「是誰？」伊德里爾連忙將被子撫平，將它覆蓋於腰上。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHvGRQucu2
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ozsltk03
片刻，從暗處緩緩現身的是──端著熱茶的阿特里奇。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD4xk92ET1
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsB6EGvDKc
「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。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2PyTAGBfi
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFbbZp4MUx
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkEn2dSkEg
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ044jITt8xZ
不過從白瓷茶杯飄散出來的薰衣草香可知──她失敗了。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjVmnttpC4
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsysuhTATiW
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcolp1gzCY9
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb0bu5hZc6
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DoVILgTau
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpSMMdEaBQ
「怎麼了？」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnqeBbEGj9
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv8ZvUpyhD
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkqE0MSe0w
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……」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtIHwRSeRu
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0I6rI7obh
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcdMEzVMEr
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5v53u6rM9
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvfzXAU2bU
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKQuKlDVsx
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKjChgKbBK
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHJWJ6uTyf
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。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOMZKQZB8C
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaidYf1puxR
阿特里奇輕點頭，正想取回茶杯時──186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMuVWkK9RD
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaXFBXfXbJ
轟隆！186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvatea475r
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRbCty6562
又是一聲足以驚天動地的雷響，雨也更大了。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fkQIdyiyZ
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkTFQV2K92
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73FwAcC85n
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8OSbtgIad
阿特里奇將茶杯擺回茶碟，立馬問道：「您沒事？」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tU3lyUYOZ
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GXA0oBkWt
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCir4eiUSP
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrDYvfl0rz
「您害怕打雷？」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBVkBMS8c2
「……才沒有。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1K0XHHfRs
「您在發抖。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZURd1SwuCX
「只、只是被嚇到了……！」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8RhX6vRMs
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcUqWHjCXY
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKoWcGUq5c
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYPIGGmxJZ
「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？」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkT0NOC8zD
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFJRco74ew
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPySJPBNlhB
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV93Y4sC8zV
「……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……」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RtsuA7SOy
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAy2dDSb2r
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw07OYH9eC1
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlNOtqRsgw
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCvRn5qmvK
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwDBdCufoe
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NrvXuFKR4
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCziUDJTyu
「這是我第一次這麼做……應該沒有弄痛您才是。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLybp6F5ERA
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJsEc1eaEr
「噗……哈哈……！」伊德里爾掩住嘴笑著，眼角甚至冒出了些許淚水。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD6o9hrzvN
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdGKxW7zNa
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GGti665TS
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY2P2qFf66
「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。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rZ8WcvRxf
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PIJqAQQ7j
「能替您消除壓力那當然是最好，那麼我先回房……」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqyoiTYCkq
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRJMKdokyx
「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？」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ks6RPyIQj
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48kX2hbAuD
「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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnZfNTdjuO
「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。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmeAUIHstG
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDQYb20FeU
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？」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynefJQzL1T
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe3NRINe6B
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLya8XZ3SpD
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDqCG7gGBU
「……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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpxpj3YdpM
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。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtteO0LQV7r
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMVTBIGsic
「我會待在這裡、待在您身旁，直到您安心入眠為止。」186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6O2FCq6x2
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QAltqs05B
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq9nrF752l
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSL9lOoHFP
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。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGRzfN8SAn
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB0Idn9MWo
​那日，是伊德里爾有史以來睡得最安穩的一天。186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P8k8m2AXv
