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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMx9eSHIpP
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0E8n2wIXa
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOTFi0Iyrv
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUcq4Cmt8o
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqG71ei9mo
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtBL0xXn7I
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiDORG1Wu5
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9wt8kOFYh
當然……精靈族也不例外。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaqQqjleXz
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvjxSO9G4M
轟隆！236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIRCgQzIgI
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHhDW3cGDx
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCyKc9LcQc
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73LOKNV0BB
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwmwf42j7b
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDh7EtE87u
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ0m1NHAqH
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BN73Trhs3
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBti1sZ726
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUtRUX5W7q
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShfHNz6AzU
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm75cH47aWy
她以為她已經忘了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45IY8kWXit
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRCO3ZujeQ
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc9bpqgjnw
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDA90XH9iB
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3CE0tYVO1
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw1M7gg2Xx
可過去經歷的場景每日每夜、不厭其煩地造訪伊德里爾。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYKxIAfX58
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l30X8NqgR
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjOG0jWjgp
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRGxPuo9nC
「絕不能重蹈覆轍，我一定要守護好王國。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv6QZECWAH
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHQLHAyOOJ
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAnVRJ44qZ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI9Yp5I2J0
咿呀……236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6pU9fXscx
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnhHKHawpb
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzPkFN95Au
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv9nx7YKEX
「是誰？」伊德里爾連忙將被子撫平，將它覆蓋於腰上。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH8R5Fw3sJ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRtZgLXnIS
片刻，從暗處緩緩現身的是──端著熱茶的阿特里奇。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF4xEVfZAo
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokl5jRleAL
「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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpQeNCg2Xa
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTkpXDaOU8
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsNVHlqwIG
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU8NGevDZb
不過從白瓷茶杯飄散出來的薰衣草香可知──她失敗了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡravT6wkVGY
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn6VJeQXZT
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r2hYiVy31
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMuX2u6C3R
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwYIMI0dWx
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCwyihE2AO
「怎麼了？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas2BUwW50F
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP8F9FsqjG
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh9COYRAlh
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……」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pV9WVsX4S
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZr17P46RD
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzqeo0DJOK
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9V4vBp3dE
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6f2kFAMlN
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQrf553JEP
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO3skhetLm
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyCJs2JylZ
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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs62aNALQy
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHRHneHzpe
阿特里奇輕點頭，正想取回茶杯時──236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOYV97BaZ4
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BcQoalT1k
轟隆！236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AiAtZvmw2
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d6NH7vvkg
又是一聲足以驚天動地的雷響，雨也更大了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYEsKYV9xj
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqomFzxsbkb
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTxgNMTMgx
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGACPj3qiS
阿特里奇將茶杯擺回茶碟，立馬問道：「您沒事？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x6VEtBiu1
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKFJfnwpjr
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40deWGu1CT
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPDhlpNjgi
「您害怕打雷？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yy6bVmDwv
「……才沒有。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRJc3VtSIt
「您在發抖。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGa7SR6YJ6
「只、只是被嚇到了……！」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSxGa1mgpO
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt3rH5QbCe
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4V6KWIEFK
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg3pPr0BHD
「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？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w8J5ruzwf
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTrzlarKJS
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUnikqFMT0
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaolvBY9owX
「……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……」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldpcftpwlg
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoINJQaWQAg
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10fpXaOL5e
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDQBS5JfwE
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj3iiBYh7q
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6ndfrkURS
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1RUlomv6a
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZebXQVBoC
「這是我第一次這麼做……應該沒有弄痛您才是。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjA7SDn6Dy
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpMRP5NEZ1
「噗……哈哈……！」伊德里爾掩住嘴笑著，眼角甚至冒出了些許淚水。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHYqJLxty0
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwuCzn3eCI
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7mQeaEbQL
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85HUo7Wttx
「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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvwxLbUSMV
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsRkEa93H6
「能替您消除壓力那當然是最好，那麼我先回房……」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2Xroy4zgT
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFt44Scryo
「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？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iamQPtkjM
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy04leJxqT
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWGIe8BKfs
「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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BT79gqzsP
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY7gRChxNB
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？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoKhIEDrq2
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lWzptHup4
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Dveyn0BV
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLebxcVw4gr
「……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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRd9rsgHyF
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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpItvyKwVIg
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicr2YbJfcZ
「我會待在這裡、待在您身旁，直到您安心入眠為止。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsrerwVC5u
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWNzyat9Dg
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl1ni8qq5h
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1xWcI4eML
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3Qb2KeIZV
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z8h1HUZXy
​那日，是伊德里爾有史以來睡得最安穩的一天。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8wbxeDPl6
