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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwY1FndpO9

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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknnBvIe8zP
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWsiOllIXf
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1uBEEo2uK
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2HYcLaenz
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？264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesN8SwFZnp
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosUt2208FP
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWe8EOCedB
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl3nwvcv6Y
同一時間，帝國的地下監獄。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuruSDgOqHn
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQpyLTDq43
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JRSBUPG7E
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtGS7pIzYe
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCJnum3whF
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZICQbjPjRz
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PIlFxUZKR
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tmScH1mxk
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTcFSqIdDB
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktMQsT2rUJ
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1ccVmxPTr
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz9p4A1fnW
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XqV3R8wSq
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8BG7P2TnQ
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEsvrmzncq
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa6J78GLVZ
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtcEEK4z9Y
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V24CiemxW
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmekoT6fhWU
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF6r0pizhl
女孩坐在床上，「今天沒有信嗎？」葛蕾斯問。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrBQuEiFnv
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkmebbpEXU
「沒有。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK3NY2RJ4V
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow1VcZQLZ5
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeykdtQnVCV
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVaoK8IL7B
葛蕾斯放好信後開始用膳，小娜途中一直觀察著她的樣子。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEa1OIjwuJ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpmbdglt5q
平淡又不安，彷彿是在和誰鬥氣一樣。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJHmaAQLh5
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69itEuxkJW
直到葛蕾斯吃完飯收拾好，小娜才準備開口。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzKDROupfF
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46kw6s794y
「妳不後悔嗎？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8crY23NKR
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh6yBfh4iE
「很多事我都後悔。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErhdlct6DQ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolTqjo4HTf
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3ASbOOZ6b
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttlqGBpZwa
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdSVlK2I4Z
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjG6wbLx1S
「雨娜小姐。」「嗯？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbl5gFRh9m
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASquJ53m5c
「我還能出去嗎？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WSwOHENsZ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02eFV17Sh2
「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？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmfJ5yKoix
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JcOwUgpyu
「明白。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM1COfHkxw
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWzySFhDEz
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS1XOPRhUD
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST9zkuk35E
只是用不同的話語拒絕她無數次。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHskDY8TJE
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tahVq9DEB
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1xbfVqIDf
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmXghNq20W
「妳恨我嗎？」小娜問了個對方也會問的問題。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdhJ8BGHXt
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7su8KPIG0f
「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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLu71xJ9j0
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9F49jmqKH
人抗拒未知的事物。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiL9x5usWE
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1gEXgtQXy
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLK4OhLTGC
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOGNaFXwZb
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCAlrZXx9w
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBRZZ9Kte2
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdfBFzRcjv
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXk8xrp2UW
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmSM03roN9
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvGRsVVj5n
小娜自覺沒有話語權，繼續聆聽葛蕾斯的話語。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrU8sG00Sr
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJOJzx68hk
「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......」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvvQAPvco0
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAdmuyhXxo
葛蕾斯的眼神非常空洞，張著眼卻彷彿甚麼也看不見。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuEldxePah
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIB80lIZAm
「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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig0QqLheMv
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8uydun6PO
「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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRc72VFhxH
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v1M9GsPsq
「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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P8czpp9oe
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNgArJ5j4c
「那麼我可以去哪裏？」葛蕾斯問。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWrJ3yfcUp
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Jhhp96y2
「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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCZ6jgQkoa
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBQgIfqhnP
「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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMVBL0p3C6
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe84An4NCxH
她回到禁物儲藏室，沙卡美就在門前等待她回來。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GeDdwViJV
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6QY5UrizS
「小娜，她怎麼樣？」沙卡美笑得很燦爛。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwN0iFBp9S
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Toje7HYbM
「依然像個空殼困在自己的心裏。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzw2fSnKYh
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIgkpsLMGb
「其實我剛剛收到一封信。」沙卡美遞出一封白色信封的信。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK7naTyGqD
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfdbwFImFC
小娜不明白葛蕾斯和這封信的關聯：「我可以看嗎？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FSH2Fmq1h
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMdkfttBiG
「看吧。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKvC09EyAo
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkmiRBu4iS
小娜接過信封拆開信，讀完信後收回信封內。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoStxZcKgcS
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg9MfLOmXu
「因此我要到普利王國幾天，妳可以幫我告訴貝弟弟嗎？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWHDSWANb3
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXALXBVLSms
普利王國的國王駕崩，沙卡美被邀請去國葬儀式。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rqw8kdmtv
