夜幕低垂，宮殿的銅製燭台上，火光在微風中搖曳。守衛整齊的腳步聲迴盪，為仍未有最終結局的費南伊連帶來些許肅殺之氣。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3GEJCsffZ

拉米亞與薇薇安娜並肩而坐，陽台的石椅被晚風吹得微涼。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFNvvUIZLY
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMEcI7Rhq6
遠方的城市在星光下沉睡，零星的燈火宛如散落在黑絲絨上的寶石。她們剛從那場令人窒息的會面中脫身，選擇在這裡平復情緒。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs2Bivoxor
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYnkhLBq9F
薇薇安娜撫平裙襬，抬頭望向遠方。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp6g8zsA16
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCHE39dONd
「真諷刺，」她輕聲說，「他們以王室的名義犯下那麼多錯誤，現在卻連正視的勇氣都沒有。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYsLUsTkKH
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzIGNpqP3j
拉米亞靠在椅背上，目光平靜，「人總是如此，越是執著於自己的選擇，就越無法承認錯誤。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNdYgys3ju
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyeLqQh21Z
「那麼我們呢？」薇薇安娜轉頭望向姐姐，月光在她的眼眸中流轉，「如果有一天，我們變得跟父親與母親一樣的話……」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMybeYyj9y
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVVoHNM9AQ
拉米亞靜默片刻，語氣平靜地回答：「那就讓繼承費南伊連意志的英雄推翻我們吧。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXt4gna0lX
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBbcxlPUyk
出乎意料的回答讓薇薇安娜愣了一瞬，隨即掩著嘴發出愉快的輕笑。「確實如此。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrrmgP0gHI
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJSolrTLLk
「我很慶幸自己說出了想說的話。」薇薇安娜轉過頭，歛去笑容直視著她，「對不起，因為我的懦弱，才讓妳獨自承擔這一切。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXahj2HKn0q
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHq2k7F07j
拉米亞微微垂眸，輕聲嘆息，「妳還小，這也無可奈何。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0mONRREPC
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWFaDyXFZy
「不，」薇薇安娜搖頭，珍珠耳墜隨著她的動作輕輕晃動，「從今天開始就不一樣了。我已經決定不再逃避身為王族的責任。因為我不只是妳的妹妹，更是妳的盟友。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9mbuBxNeB
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGJSX5LcHg
拉米亞微微睜大眼睛，「薇薇安.……」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMmqRQdduo
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeABiJ1dYC
「姐姐，我相信你。妳不會讓費南伊連淪為任何人的附庸。而我會站在妳身邊支持妳，就像妳當初保護我那樣。」薇薇安娜微微笑，語氣變得更加堅定：「我想成為妳的力量。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jeAuRlHT7
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0reArIkpx4
拉米亞凝視著妹妹許久，眼神漸漸柔和。夜風吹起她墨色的長髮，帶來花園深處的茉莉芬芳。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzQFCrKcjx
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu3M8yLAkO
「抬頭看，」她忽然說道，仰望星空。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5G06qQi1R
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk6RfTvMOn
薇薇安娜順著她的目光望去。群星在絲絨般的夜幕上閃爍，彷彿無數顆璀璨的鑽石。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMytj6bgqJk
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEBK6A2xKQ
「小時候，老師常帶我看星星，」拉米亞輕聲道，聲音裡帶著一絲懷念，「他說，星星就像守護費南伊連的眼睛，提醒我們不能忘記自己的責任。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWja5zVB6Qf
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBFDOrbwev
「那麼現在，」薇薇安娜輕輕握住姐姐的手，感受到手掌傳來的溫暖，「就讓這片星空見證我們的誓言。我們會一起守護這片土地，讓費南伊連重新成為世界的太陽之心。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMjdCAn5ju
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfiaPtL14D
拉米亞低低笑出聲來，「沒想到我的妹妹竟有如此遠大的抱負。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtrAOwaPRu
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfO43FljhQ
「那當然！」薇薇安娜挺直腰背，下巴微揚，姊妹倆相視而笑。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q8nPr2LNT
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0XUHabOBA
此刻，星光灑落在她們身上，如同無聲的祝福。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SoABsCtIQ

宮殿的走廊在燭火映照下染上一層昏黃，搖曳的火光映在光滑的大理石地面上，彷彿流動的金色波紋。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1LF9xaYdB
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcxpt6l0SM
偶爾傳來守衛換崗時整齊的腳步聲，劃破夜晚的靜謐。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZDPCWtxZe
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTWRQnRD6M
拉米亞坐在書案前，指尖輕撫過帝國軍最新動向的文件，目光專注而銳利。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWIc04rhfh
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV8fZSJ04t
今日午後，西部軍團已經抵達，她的副官亞德里安親自前來祝賀。這意味著——皇帝的隊伍也即將到來。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9PvHcARyJ
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeLCgxf0SV
作為新任的統治者，她必須確保一切準備妥當，無論對內還是對外都不能有任何疏忽。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV6YJGsafB
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfutNs26S62
她抬起頭，不經意間從玻璃的反射看見自己緊鎖的眉頭——這表情竟與伍迪加尼殿下如出一轍。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgHcC7MN9y
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHEEAsqkj3
想到這裡，她不禁露出一抹淺笑，這些天來壓在肩頭的沉重壓力，似乎稍稍緩解。然而，就在她準備蓋上墨水瓶、稍作歇息時，門外響起了一陣輕柔的敲門聲。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocLDvUUcTa
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez80zc6YSp
這個時間，還會有誰來訪？85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOOOdJUSJ5
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmFVFwDpFc
從腳步聲來判斷，不是她的妹妹薇薇安娜。她微蹙眉頭，沉聲道：「請進。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHDovn8PFD
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX2cjssv6q
門緩緩推開，一道熟悉的身影出現在門口。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROY0InI0A2
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM014eeRmv
「抱歉，我只是想碰碰運氣，沒想到妳還這麼晚沒睡。」伍迪加尼站在門前，目光落在她桌上堆疊如山的文件，語氣帶著一絲無奈，「我能進去嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHJHTzthbQ
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDGodu5VnC
這場景，宛如時光倒轉——曾經，是她懷著忐忑的心情站在他的門外。而如今，換成伍迪加尼小心翼翼地站在她的門邊。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSiRXLE689
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJFqndl6f2
兩人都渴望拉近距離，卻又被現實所阻隔。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8I98oaVxi
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kZ487F7h7
拉米亞輕輕放下羽毛筆，墨水在紙面上暈開細微的墨點。她抬眼看向他，語氣淡然：「當然。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPPTSoPSC5
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s8QY78Wsn
伍迪加尼踏入室內，門扉在他身後輕輕闔上，發出低沉的悶響。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6EMfTM9tX
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4XM3nAFLh
燭火在氣流的攪動下微微晃動，牆上投下兩道交錯的影子。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxwpv7CGZB
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vKOQAtv4l
「澤塔利亞皇帝已經抵達附近，」他走近幾步，語氣凝重，「根據阿爾傑的報告，帝國軍特意選擇不同方向，避免與海利軍會師，這跟以前帝國軍的用兵風格完全不像。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcGk9VI3D9
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl6HIfA37a
「確實如此。」拉米亞輕聲應道。這至少代表皇帝願意維持和平，但這份意願能持續多久，沒有人能預測。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvllAdgFam
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGebeX7syB
伍迪加尼緩步走到窗前，月光自玻璃窗灑落，「聽說，妳和薇薇安娜今日下午已經見過國王和王后，妳們有結論嗎？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iLwdjT8Du
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fDTw3vs90
「不用擔心。」拉米亞迎上他的視線，語氣平靜卻堅定，「我和薇薇安娜達成共識，她願意支持我成為女王。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCgats3L1b
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eh9uKouOZ
伍迪加尼聞言，肩膀明顯放鬆了一些，「這是個好消息。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG0GnSMxsZ
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tGSpwzGTC
話音落下，房間內陷入一片靜默。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopaO0Tpcg9
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdflmzSlRa
沉默在兩人之間蔓延，最終，伍迪加尼打破寂靜：「那麼……關於我的求婚，妳考慮得如何？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwslBt3Vsy
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj18lCoZeE
拉米亞的唇微微動了動，似笑非笑，最終卻只是嘆了口氣。她低下頭，指尖無意識地收緊衣袖，像是在壓抑某種情緒。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGartjdjcDX
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05BfUTrhuc
伍迪加尼的眼神滿是執著，一副勢必要得到答案的氣勢。既然伍迪加尼如此誠懇，那麼，她也必須真誠以待。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfIcs4C8EF
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx2ZZmZPu5
伍迪加尼的眼神帶著執著，一副誓要得到答案的模樣。他誠懇地開口，她就必須誠實以對。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0Q1TgnehV
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJEUQBPBHQ
「你的心意……我很感激。」她緩緩開口，語調輕柔，「但現在的我，無法給你答覆。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KKely8E4P
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZMezCml7L
「為什麼？」伍迪加尼上前一步，緊盯著她的眼睛。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfbHQqEvaj
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Lj1PZ0oQ
拉米亞沉默了一瞬，最終低聲道：「我與皇帝有約定——我成為他的屬下，而他承諾兩年內不進攻海利與費南伊連。這個期限，依我的表現而定。」她停頓了一下，然後補充：「換言之，選擇權在帝國手中。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseQ5c0RzUZ
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsX8LGpOom
伍迪加尼深吸一口氣，紫色眼眸目光陰鬱。「如果沒有凱爾維斯，沒有這個約定——妳會怎麼回答？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp2tiA9SpW
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnzJQOZGRL
他的聲音很輕，卻帶著無法忽視的重量，逼她直面自己的內心。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQyp2sFQiY
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQtaPWQZBn
拉米亞的手指蜷縮，指節因用力而泛白。她不敢看他，閃避她過於炙熱的視線，逃避似的將視線落在窗邊的燭火上。最後，她的聲音宛如囈語：「我不想談論假設性的問題。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsmpj44QkU
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH9ypid7s8
「那我們談談現實。」伍迪加尼語氣沉穩，步步緊逼，「皇帝幫助妳登上王位，必定會索取代價。局勢穩定後，他會以『協助治理』為名，讓帝國的人滲透費南伊連的權力核心。」他停頓片刻，聲音低沉，「妳真的相信他？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYgUOWfjbC
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cvbdm6pqW
拉米亞緩緩站起身，走到窗前，月色映在她冷靜的側臉上。「皇帝雖然冷酷無情，但他信守承諾。」她語氣堅定，「對現在的我來說，這是最好的選擇。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsEcJJrTDq
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFw4UASgqO
「也就是說，」伍迪加尼的語氣透出一絲希望，「總有那麼一天，我可以等到妳的答覆？」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC2BQJxoFu
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfFyebwvUE
拉米亞轉過身，嘴角浮現一抹無奈的笑意。「我不知道。」她語氣輕柔，卻透著疏離，「等到我擺脫帝國的掌控，不知要花多少時間。我無法給你承諾，也不希望你把時間浪費在等待上。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOPdqTpTME
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXozlT0LsOb
「這不是浪費。」伍迪加尼向她走近一步，語氣堅定，「我不在乎皇帝的意願，我只想知道——妳的心意。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGgcKUlhK7
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGdB24zpCt
他伸出手，掌心在月光下泛著柔和的光暈。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT4sGG9YSE
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk4hGLR9Pn
拉米亞凝視著那隻手，沉默良久，最終，輕輕將自己的手放了上去。伍迪加尼俯身，在她的手背落下一個輕柔的吻。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQIPfGoWO9
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunLv97xTAI
「三年後的今天，我會再來向妳求婚。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m6WFCmYF1
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJGwPOe4E2
伍迪加尼的聲音沉穩而堅決，像是在下達某種無法違抗的誓言。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yr9kByI6a
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkKvysJ5CS
「請務必等到那一天。」他補上一句，語氣篤定得讓人無法反駁。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYq8CwJhDL
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJkEsyVbKZ
拉米亞怔怔地看著他，一時說不出話來，他吻過的地方彷彿還殘留著微弱的熱度。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u4LzPBz4N
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsyVn9Fypo
「……好的。」85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RgVBfqDkV
 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZDJZAfj19
她望著他離去的背影，房門合上的瞬間，房內重歸寂靜。月光依舊冷冽，燭火輕輕搖曳，而她的心跳，卻在夜色之中紊亂了節奏。85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK0beFu2Qa
