掀開地圖，地圖背面用紅字寫了一句：「你所憎恨的終將成為你追求的；你所渴望的終將成為你討厭的。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR8K18BZ2S

貝吏刻唐繼續在房間東翻西找也沒有任何實際線索，只好先找幾個守衛守住入口再隱身回到迪斯普身邊。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIw9ME67rQ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3BK1jJatE
明明只是過了一次午餐的時間，貝吏刻唐卻覺得很漫長，漫長的感覺也許是從不解而來。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjre8TBIK0
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA76pI7caw
難道打倒巴烏卡之後還有更大的危機等候他們嗎？聯邦人又在計劃甚麼？286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGobaR7ihW
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4e3JzyaeU
貝吏刻唐一邊用迪斯普和荷芳的對話作背景音樂一邊祈求有人能給予他答案。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iVslmCHn9
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuHnfGu46g
同一時間，帝國的地下監獄。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZZvSmKJG0
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDVBLh2dYA
在監獄深處的「貴賓室」裏，囚禁了一位刺殺女皇未遂的聯邦人，這位聯邦人每天都會有一位訪客，今天也不例外。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ8GHiFvkR
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiubk5z8Se
墨藍霧中，穿著似玩偶的女孩托著飯盤赤腳走到鐵門前：「又是時候吃飯了。」她的語氣就像已經送了一百年的餐般麻木。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a9qFAGNAZ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hzon3vZV3
與一般人所認知的不同，她不是從門下方的缺口遞盤子，而是直接用鑰匙打開門和聯邦人共處一室。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6drQYoBcfN
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2STOVpouY
縱使內裏空間非常寬敞，擺設僅有一張床和書桌椅。書桌椅上放了一頂油燈以供聯邦人書寫和閱讀書信之用。桌上的信多得疊了幾疊，仔細數的話應該有近百封。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAWxBYHMwU
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE0x5ONZw4
那位聯邦人聽見鐵門移動依然坐在椅上靜靜讀信，待女孩直接遞上膳食。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuSFRCSQle
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcXAnWRfF5
身穿囚服的聯邦人—葛蕾斯・雅士，她臉上充滿絕望，地板亦散落著屬於她的粉紅色頭髮。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybI5PoBf3Q
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B6vgSh36d
不僅因為刺殺行動完全是她擅作主張，失手後被困在此處，她的同伴似乎也不再對她抱有期望。簡單地說，她被當成棄子。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1IsX6Px75
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtqibQBvTV
帝國和聯邦的關係並沒有因為這件事而大幅改變，但聯邦喪失了獲得帝國內部情報的機會，沒有人從中得益。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UGpOdL2i0
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UF827GBbD
另一邊廂，應該在比監獄更深的祕密設施研究禁物，現在卻獨自和企圖刺殺自己恩人的囚犯相處的女孩表現得比她更輕鬆。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMMB7JnosZ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwI0Da0by7
女孩坐在床上，「今天沒有信嗎？」葛蕾斯問。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz6E8dFvSU
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyzBRsIaf7
「沒有。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl1nRMyFVT
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMP4MjbwTa
剛用完午膳就馬上要為「囚犯」送餐，原本的小娜應該很不願意這樣做，但她總覺得能從這位「囚犯」身上學到些甚麼。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvaTYDUaU0
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYt8ij9xJB
葛蕾斯放好信後開始用膳，小娜途中一直觀察著她的樣子。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpm1Yli4WA
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPhaxhNoSk
平淡又不安，彷彿是在和誰鬥氣一樣。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfd29GTiVq
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEjMsCPLLk
直到葛蕾斯吃完飯收拾好，小娜才準備開口。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWJPrXYqRj
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TKSw8wYBp
「妳不後悔嗎？」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5kYmySh51
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUJJuNR5nb
「很多事我都後悔。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdhfXaJr9y
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28A5lRADPt
來自不同國度，本應是敵人卻因第三勢力而變得關係曖昧，小娜認為葛蕾斯是個極佳的研究對象。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjXWadHh91
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1QH739zuE
葛蕾斯隨便拿起一封信，上面用英文寫著：「我們對妳很失望！」之類的意思。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbtr5eXOxe
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBG4BjpoDb
「雨娜小姐。」「嗯？」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvHGoDIM9p
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOL96G0r4F
「我還能出去嗎？」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DhaUbkgmG
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawh6riRg91
「我從某個蠢材口中聽過一句很有道理的話：『一次不忠，百次不用』妳應該明白吧？」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUENenGME8
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lraHy94h6
「明白。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOmRVZwYxi
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqU6xsSquA
獄卒檢查過每一封葛蕾斯和聯邦來往的書信，當中固然沒有重要機密，反而內容乏味。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD5yYqGFs4
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK4En7Bm2F
只是用不同的話語拒絕她無數次。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeUPRLNR0P
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFJFdF2bAU
帝國和聯邦都不接納她，她很有可能會投靠其他勢力，例如大陸中東部尚未統一的各個小國。所以在決定如何處置她前，囚禁她是最好的辦法。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6tiATq4z2
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNziiMx1jO1
「妳恨我嗎？」小娜問了個對方也會問的問題。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8RC3Z3r75
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7smd8Xd83
「總會有一點點。不過更可笑的是，人在魔法面前居然無能為力......」葛蕾斯苦笑。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm4781fGjy
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnmk4TUtiY
人抗拒未知的事物。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H48vuIXic
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJxWVrya2w
人往往先排斥而非嘗試理解從未見識過的事物，就像小孩子不願意吃沒吃過的食物一樣。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nS4XW3P6E
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL411uaZwc3
如果吃完發現很好吃，會自問為甚麼要「以貌取食物」，往後不再排斥它。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMd3Bd4DYv
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25e1jy33M8
但若味道與預期一樣，就像個知道火很熱仍然要伸手進火的「聰明人」般抱怨父母為甚麼要逼自己吃。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhGWLQIeCD
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1zvzW8vTx
魔法也是如此，目前魔法只為人類帶來恐懼、不安以及死亡，少數掌握魔法的人卻能控制多數人，也許根本不應該嘗試接觸魔法。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QDTNUsGFW
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8H6r595aK
小娜自覺沒有話語權，繼續聆聽葛蕾斯的話語。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd17A8y4AUw
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjWAzHVi9m
「妳也可以在這裏直接扭斷我的脖子......一切只在乎妳想不想吧？我根本無能為力，我甚麼也不想做，我甚麼也做不到......」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeK7ucKw05
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfrnIjLLYC
葛蕾斯的眼神非常空洞，張著眼卻彷彿甚麼也看不見。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2mnjhZEu2
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMiwIdnw1H
「我活著的意義是甚麼？我死了是不是就可以讓你們輕鬆一點？我錯了嗎？我錯了嗎？」葛蕾斯對小娜大叫。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFWRliFlqf
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFpduV4QxC
「錯與不錯有甚麼關係？」小娜無奈地回應：「我們都被拘束著，就算知道那些事是錯的也阻止不了。」小娜想起小時候哥哥帶她找到帝國的回憶。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGNRmcl8MI
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ311uzn9n10
「就算看見很多人在做錯事，阻止不了就是阻止不了。即使之後成功糾正他們，他們造成的傷害一直都存在，遲來的正義不是正義。」小娜低頭盯著冷冰冰的地板。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZrcI6qmcW
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tBkZXXTmz
「那麼我可以去哪裏？」葛蕾斯問。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoXJVSkRzE
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEhDUHNCJZ
「接受現實，在這裏活一輩子。」小娜站起來準備離開：「我不是沙卡美。如果她願意下來跟妳說話，她應該會鼓勵妳。但想到妳曾經......她應該不會來這裏。當經歷過很多失敗之後，我們很難強迫其他人一起接受失敗，因為很難受。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkmTlkRBTe
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUoo4ijCPS
「而且妳身為一個軍人應該已經有覺悟了吧？妳也很清楚自己要做甚麼，只是妳不願意正視妳自己的能力。」小娜托著盤子離開牢房。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCy3Z0nz6Y
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQUY2mcCA3
她回到禁物儲藏室，沙卡美就在門前等待她回來。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9kw1jewp5
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqSyaoO2Wm
「小娜，她怎麼樣？」沙卡美笑得很燦爛。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX5dhZZDBm
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYUgZWypYB
「依然像個空殼困在自己的心裏。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdxdyiLVPX
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1yP0QRMxz
「其實我剛剛收到一封信。」沙卡美遞出一封白色信封的信。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgOLpTkowq
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBgcU8MZaS
小娜不明白葛蕾斯和這封信的關聯：「我可以看嗎？」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt029cndGq
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAU6K5VtnI
「看吧。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJH6uvXuMN
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcdDqgbQjn
小娜接過信封拆開信，讀完信後收回信封內。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJFzDjTew8
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcF04o5hrQ
「因此我要到普利王國幾天，妳可以幫我告訴貝弟弟嗎？」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1MTXjBnwn
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHkw7XJkzD
普利王國的國王駕崩，沙卡美被邀請去國葬儀式。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UQSbGUjA9
