金度牽起女兒的手走進廳堂，行為舉止格外親切，但他額頭上的傷疤，讓布麗姬特感到擔憂。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOYQha3I6G

雙手緊握裙襬，快步跑過長廊、走上階梯。千金公主喘著大氣、鎖緊房門。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnaQiaQHVn
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY8i1m5C5I
鳥兒鳴叫，日光依舊。她慢慢低下頭，從鑰匙孔向外看去。剛才那些，應該只是錯覺而已。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAfmTFfNlz

一片黑，什麼都看不見。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVn9AOU7oV

她這才發現，被稱為父親的男人緊貼在門外，準備彎腰窺視進來。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUXxUjZ3B3

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUqSEcGtW9
海風刺痛手指，布麗姬特緊緊抓住外牆浮雕，一邊聽著漸漸增多的腳步聲，一邊攀下地面。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xa57nJtoj

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI3rpwGCMA
閃過眼角的樹幹就像不懷好意的人群，不斷打擊她的意志，直到她體力透支、跌倒在地。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqqFnK33gd

落難公主心底一涼，還沒反應過來就被重擊後頸、失去意識。漸漸模糊的視線中，是充滿悔意的男人神情。
思念與夢境，帶著女子回到故鄉。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroh5M8gcRS

火星表面經過千年改造，已經像極了地球，不同的是，那裡海水顏色偏紅。布麗姬特很久沒看到老家，但總是會夢到同一個場景。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsHKQB1cE6

金度的妻子比夫君更「不像貴族」。她堅持靠自己的力量與病魔搏鬥，不接受複製人器官移植。雖然成功生下一女，但還是難逃命運魔爪。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UUfVHrLid

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH3FGbLWfo
「麥西米利恩‧羅威‧邁爾，你竟敢……」落難公主拔出臂環內藏小刀，抵住背叛者的脖子。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdotDL2d4WD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2jNnnokma
沒有回應，也沒有辯解。布麗姬特仔細一看，發現騎士冒著冷汗，一手操縱面板，另一手緊壓腹部，長袍被血跡染紅。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XRHRCfZXf

濃密雷射交織亂舞，瞬間把船身大卸八塊。煙塵與碎片之中，一架機械半人馬浴火出擊。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOHhpuiF37
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6gQeDszdh
四足推進器猛踏真空；雙手握槍殺出重圍。侍衛武將專用機「山杜爾‧弓騎」且戰且走，披肩裝飾燒毀也無妨，因為繡在上頭的帝國旗幟，它已經不再效忠。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDSbqyIRpH

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95d2VAlOas
山杜爾左右閃避，展開槍柄上的柺刃，同時對應不同距離的威脅。但，攻擊衛星怎麼殺都殺不完，載著追兵的船隻也進入宇宙空間。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQxb6Rd3T5

強烈光束在風暴中轟出一個大洞，正好讓山杜爾進入。大量碎塊因此改變軌道，開始往地球落下，攻擊衛星只好轉頭執行原本工作，擊落威脅皇都的隕石。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7SFysmIcD

人馬機兵在天昏地暗的亂塵中閃躲、跳躍。G力不斷拉扯布麗姬特全身，她終究還是支撐不住、再次暈厥。最後映入眼簾的，是騎士的全心全靈，還有通訊螢幕上的求助對象⸺和平重工。
公主與騎士成為不確定因素。同時間，木星圈也出了一位逃家貴族。他帶走的不是小小磁碟，而是大半數宇宙艦隊。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZos4ksM1zS
