另一方面，沙卡美不知為何回到過去，回到她十歲左右的時光。她綁著馬尾，穿著橙黃色舞裙在人來人往的宴會中穿梭。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iY8xUWpWw
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLueoW68Fun
宴會裏聚集了許多名門貴族，他們受國王邀請大吃大喝，心裏都怕酒裏下了毒。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaosn9pExW
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0jnz4CWLW
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx0cjLQcRr
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIedcWr3nPA
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4EGghryQu
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HRJ5a0NjB
圍著放滿佳餚圓桌，臉看不清的老人轉身看著沙卡美：「哎喲！這不是沙卡美公主嗎？公主殿下要去哪裏？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeZB8kB2US
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYipWpS2Tnq
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabnpj1Df7m
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKimmrJ9xL
正當沙卡美想問老人有沒有頭緒時，一隻粗糙的手放在她肩膀上。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tEV6qOBsw
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9iXfjyjmq
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hE0OnVSwu
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfOSMUDKTT
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv7itxH657
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjedzXxFK9
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf03moTQgga
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteeS4dMNd0
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJhHinn5ib
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGGiV22G4Z
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXYtIdzYhi
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK20UCp3Gt5
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLqJtU6ZYR
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz8jRMlHNm
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZjxqqgKbk
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKrjLzHGNA
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb7ibFl0qQ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTJoAV7I8A
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUD1oDhjF4
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDCECy8AUH
「不是叫妳不必多言嗎？」國王走出王宮陽台：「我的女兒啊，那裏的人都不是真心尊敬我和妳，他們只是怕得罪我而人頭落地。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx7i8lgfRx
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIcWsFgBNt
陽台外的景色被一層白霧擋住，沙卡美也看不見父王的雙眼。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhC0goZfyh
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG01cEBh8D
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzfCOmbA4D
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjACPZzadt
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLKXsSUnF5
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohCgokTvJl
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybHF6XHJjm
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3DHXx8Fnw
貝吏刻唐在床邊觀察她微苦的臉龐，有點於心不忍。
但為了不打擾沙卡美休息，他背靠牆邊靜候沙卡美醒來。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14sVYUKo9S
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxC2XSG7JB
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpc5vcCW7I
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBbDwwpSDH
沙卡美自己也覺得很矛盾，明明想人民生活美滿，卻一直包庇無惡不作的父王，父王駕崩後又困在陰霾當中。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEud46gXcLU
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ocCPq6Q3
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCfo3tkFqs
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7IDnULd6Z
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMa9RrSvsN
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RVORymiP5
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrxxUVfNL1
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKlteOLwXb
「沒錯。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxbU3JnFQP
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF8a5VFvcV
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgYbyLSVzW
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYMnNJkXo2
「遵命，女皇陛下。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8izmmOJ3e
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBzu9uE3WL
貝吏刻唐和小娜都不明白為何沙卡美會被「某種東西」佔據，仍然能正常運用魔力。黑色魔力明明會令人神智崩潰，但沙卡美除了行事作風改變外都很正常。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirBmNa2tqA
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkBgzzdPfY
感覺女皇不再是公主的貝吏刻唐，待沙卡美梳洗後伴隨她到飯廳。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0jrOZ6CyX
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mPQEPDtD2
皇宮裏的官員、僕人等等昨天已知悉女皇被尋獲的消息，昨天在外冒雨拜訪人民的士兵和軍官們可能有私下跟平民們說。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoRQG65mTW
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iNUs3cIec
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PmTzTonse
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKGp2bHeYQ
「雞胸肉、麵包、蘋果和牛奶，朕很久也沒有吃過如此豐富的早膳了。」沙卡美拿起刀叉。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvYlzYjvF8
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2A3gZT967
貝吏刻唐坐在她對面一起用膳，雖說食不言是基本禮儀，但貝吏刻唐有些話想問沙卡美。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWIeohqIyf
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckThV7AONO
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc17qt2erGs
剛要喝口牛奶的沙卡美聽見他發問，溫和地收手：「貝弟弟，早膳時間不應該說話。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjSKWPZiki
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJir3xC7w6Y
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN6m5AyTa4
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITHfqabgfe
「甚麼事？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaTdWMJv4T
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUUCXHnniP
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcNppEaJYs
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxpxEkPCEF
沙卡美揮手示意女僕和守衛離開，待房間只剩他和貝吏刻唐後回應：「貝弟弟想問的是朕想暪著所有人做甚麼吧？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mq446RGZY
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhGutgSZu3
「女皇陛下英明。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN21U1ivVt
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlkcjr6E5o
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMV6gwqUaW
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Blvol4EV7
「細作？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXS9wApSdy
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1An8U458m
「沒錯。約一年半前，朕去山多牧場時不是被伏擊了嗎？朕問過斯斯，她說那羣刺客的確是聯邦派遣的，但得知朕會在那個時候經過該處的情報來源不明。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP0IPGDaT7
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFOae4XXRK
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLFbzi1ofX
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ9cCeA2nt
「當時朕還在學如何當一個好皇帝，沒有時間處理，朕只告訴了利華特。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsV1TrbHdx
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SFHRSJScR
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQTOwVwG5A
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuhc75Cpfy
沙卡美舉起杯喝了一口牛奶：「朕去山多牧場一事朕只有向數個人說過，他們都跟隨朕一段時間，甚麼時候處理都已經太遲。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7oydrSW9V
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJddlRuzR6
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH28xVoVZj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJZdsAINem
「塔瑪、歐法、迪斯普、哈芙、小娜、利華特、我。」具吏刻唐慎重地說出這七個名字。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23z67NAenK
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUCnEFnjlB
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PlQ7oZS5D
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkWEiMUBMZ
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZwuoVaNIw
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XpCZMgoSB
「不是。雖然你們是當時唯二不在場的人，你們也不會蠢到背叛朕。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXc8TYqUMk
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aXxhbtklC
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiL32mXd7C
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmCMMb8zAE
「暗影守衛團的四人。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnYiuPtDhs
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvw9Dw51TB
「利華特呢？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMGJpPBBxI
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVlCyG5Rco
「利華特沒有背叛朕的理由。他是異世界人，當時的他怎會認為與帝國為敵是好選擇？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp12V5Csyfu
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPY4gwKBxX
「明白。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXNTh3hLeN
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tGI5Kws61
「因此，貝弟弟，朕希望你去找他們談談，政務朕會自行處理。找出細作後就地處決。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaILPSNwZr6
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0H0ZY7vqs
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjK5Suv74T
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw97bl6Pzt
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcThkpYDlH
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgzGdKzPHD
「不用審問嗎？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IM4HTSQdM
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtNCqOKIFI
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs903stgXo2
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCj985BiXq
「不是。我只是擔心如此強硬的手法會在那時候遭到另外三人強烈反對，他們現在都有魔力。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9dl7Gu0Fj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlaSOFcXMW
「他們現在也殺不了朕，所以朕現在才想找出叛國賊。貝弟弟，這個任務不要跟小娜說。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMoY8hWaKG
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbKJ8XsEZP
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemJbfTepwQ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXMQYRe9IC
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sgedn2c9s
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNmKmazyHe
「遵命。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKFzQihMnb
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBFcA9FHeS
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX5aNQS90B
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE13mPJ8cz6
「為甚麼？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM6m6TQCsZ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDnWUrun7R
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19RHnFzFYR
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7feUFvvu0
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL3rPeh10N
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy1xcxOWj7
先前因曼賈襲擊造成的損害已經由小娜用魔法修補，大臣們都能站在兩旁等候上奏。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY3iWCj8Pj
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMfqebAEtY
大臣們都用恐懼的眼神看著沙卡美，他們總覺得她與「失蹤」之前是截然不同的人。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN88CsD2OfW
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBJjk2nYHY
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvIuOtFDSZ
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZv3X7KMWs
一位站在最前列，年邁的大臣走到台階前方彎腰：「女皇陛下，小人先抒發自己對女重陛下歸來的欣喜。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehGn4QT8CD
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS09Wrl7Jzz
「之後呢？」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed2SWv3Rq7
279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ98ZwV8zl
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」279Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n1awT69hM
