兩人一路走過重重街道,最後阿爾法在住宅區正中央的廣場停了下來,指著往噴水池裡丟硬幣的一群孩童問道:「許願池?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAMXQXeUlisL
432Please respect copyright.PENANAoO6lGkIddV
司洛利點頭,阿爾法又接著問:「混血的信仰跟純血一樣嗎?」432Please respect copyright.PENANA7a1JGSsdKq
432Please respect copyright.PENANAqbYRDlpSdk
羅坦赫拉勒是個信仰式微的國家──正確地來說,這個世界在不思議之樹消失後,每個國家幾乎皆是如此──阿爾法本人對神話的態度是不相信可也不會特別去否認,就和大多數的人一樣。432Please respect copyright.PENANAe2l59FuPVj
432Please respect copyright.PENANAiLIiqTjwAW
藍髮少年表示相同後,金髮少年繼續道:「嘛,你以前許過願嗎?」432Please respect copyright.PENANA2eUQeemW7E
432Please respect copyright.PENANAqe7FORpxvJ
「不,」司洛利搖了搖頭,語氣堅定地回答:「在下認為,許願是不可信的,假使是無法實現的欲望,那麼再怎麼祈求一樣得不到,若是有機會實現的心願,那麼由自己達成估計也不是問題,根本沒必要仰賴許願這種虛無飄渺的途徑。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAIam8bkFBat
432Please respect copyright.PENANAN5AMPxXfKU
──而他真正想要的東西,恰恰屬於前者。432Please respect copyright.PENANAJOq0zfdAct
432Please respect copyright.PENANAKou5A3RzAC
如果對一座池許下心願就能成真,那麼人何必努力?世間又怎麼會有絕望存在?432Please respect copyright.PENANAdU4L7rIfUv
432Please respect copyright.PENANADQLLIVmelR
街上的孩子們將銅板扔進不停噴出泉水的池子裡,咚咚咚地激起數道水花、水面上的倒影也隨之扭曲,似乎是覺得好玩,有的人連石頭也扔到裡面,顯示他們並不重視這所謂的許願池。天空的陰霾反射於水中,讓本該清澈的池子看來也是一片灰黑黑,透明的水珠滴落在噴泉旁的石磚上,受到先前降雨的影響,池子裡的水位比平時更高,附近的地面也是坑坑水窪。432Please respect copyright.PENANAgu7Li25DES
432Please respect copyright.PENANAtZdFfBEyz8
「唔,這麼說也對啦。」阿爾法應道,隨手將一枚硬幣拋進去,「不過許願的話搞不好能增加成功率?像是讓奧奧快點嫁給我之類的。」432Please respect copyright.PENANANzWN6NFemo
432Please respect copyright.PENANAuBfC4floQL
「殿下您就算把整個金庫的錢財都砸進池中,也不可能實現這種心願的。」某下人非常中肯地說道。432Please respect copyright.PENANAL0r7IpxenQ
432Please respect copyright.PENANAUOQzlJyhGV
「司洛利你很煩耶!許願這種事管那麼多可行性幹嘛?而且奧奧總有一天會被我娶進門啦。」432Please respect copyright.PENANACNfq7iqE6H
432Please respect copyright.PENANAOO4v1k87KR
藍髮僕人僅是笑笑,再次吐出一針見血讓主子極為不滿的言論,在唇舌之爭佔盡上風。432Please respect copyright.PENANAtM9WkG3I1U
432Please respect copyright.PENANAGipxJOnNFp
──或許阿爾法有一點說得沒錯,就是因為願望難以實現,人們才會許願,企圖以那麼一點虛幻的希望慰藉自己的心靈。432Please respect copyright.PENANAy1QrJqKkZw

當天早上兩人隨便找了間旅店住下,混血者不太計較登記身份這檔事,對他們來說更是方便。432Please respect copyright.PENANATj5vkz9jk4
432Please respect copyright.PENANAx67fYBT3lT
隔日夜晚,司洛利剛睡醒就看見阿爾法在他的臥房,手上拿著一條紅褐色和一條墨色的圍巾,在他醒來後舉著它們問道:「你要哪一條?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAFGzDKzdfZ3
432Please respect copyright.PENANAfts6pf2wpR
不算寬敞的單人套房,半開的落地窗因為面西的關係沒有一點月光披灑,清涼的晚風徐徐吹入,金髮少年的長髮隨之飄揚。432Please respect copyright.PENANAhPoFRbdwt9
432Please respect copyright.PENANA4QsZ24eicB
「請殿下先挑,在下拿剩的就行了。」司洛利回答後,頓了下才發覺不太對,反問:「殿下您打算做什麼?」432Please respect copyright.PENANATMjM8io9yC
432Please respect copyright.PENANAurkkdo7Byr
「喔,就是我不想偽裝也不想戴面具,用圍巾遮住下半臉不是剛剛好?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAw9TlPlL42r
432Please respect copyright.PENANAqFLe0erQhF
「您打算去逛祭典?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAdGAqjqmJ4t
432Please respect copyright.PENANAlKoFC4w1vJ
腦袋瞬間清醒不少的司洛利低呼,這也太危險了,就算容貌稍作改變,也極有可能會被識破!432Please respect copyright.PENANABJ3QBbjNLm
432Please respect copyright.PENANA1ihLeinL7T
阿爾法將赤色圍巾繞上,語氣一如既往的沒有危機感:「廢話,我十七年來一次都沒逛過耶,難得出來玩,不去見識一下怎麼行?」432Please respect copyright.PENANALLRQ5e0Ynj
432Please respect copyright.PENANA5bCFiNLy6D
王子先前在血祭時都挺安份的待在自己的寢宮內,因為不是非和其餘貴族會面不可、也不是他主持,他當然能不出席就不出席,故此所有活動不是遠遠觀看、就是一律不參與,這回輪到他當主祭者,剛開場的事項處理好後,為了避免後續的一大堆麻煩,當然就翹家啦。432Please respect copyright.PENANADXKC3DOGuC
432Please respect copyright.PENANACWYJ0wvLZn
這時節雖是秋季,但怕冷的人戴上圍巾也不足為奇,阿爾法選的打扮可以算是很正常了。432Please respect copyright.PENANA3T5XCsGA6n
432Please respect copyright.PENANA9LFKMnnzIi
「殿下,在下必須負責您的安全。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAU8BusxWt1p
432Please respect copyright.PENANAJ481OaWXzj
司洛利有些強硬地說道,在混血的地盤行走就已經夠冒險了,祭典還在舉行的隔天就大搖大擺地走到純血的街上去,更是危機重重,要是出了什麼事,他拿什麼都賠不起。432Please respect copyright.PENANA2QFnquyJfE
432Please respect copyright.PENANALK0u2TYeZP
阿爾法聽了仍是不以為意,「你每次都說一個人出門很危險,哪有一次真的遇到危機的?司洛利,你真的很囉唆耶。」432Please respect copyright.PENANADZ8fZOXMKw
432Please respect copyright.PENANApOW6GWMEaT
「請替會為您擔心的人想一想。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAr5lnCbWVpX
432Please respect copyright.PENANAij8VdIrr2p
「那你們也為我這個百分之百會英年早逝的可憐人想想呀?都擅自決定好我的結局了,還連我想做什麼都管東管西的,不覺得很煩人嗎?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAMpW8Gm1TIv
432Please respect copyright.PENANA9svYvubfJ0
阿爾法此話一出,司洛利不免有些語塞,從十五歲開始他就很少在跟阿爾法講話時敗下風了,可對方這次說的的確是事實,阿爾法的命是注定好的,沒有人有能力改變它,若是妄想更動命運的軌跡,就必須付出王族沒有傳承人、羅坦赫拉勒所在的魔法空間就此崩毀的慘痛代價,無人擔當得起這個責任,既然如此,在世的時候還不讓他盡情做自己想做的事,是不是真的太過份了?432Please respect copyright.PENANAXF7rPiq5zy
432Please respect copyright.PENANA6nTTjNziLT
以一人之命換取整個國家人民存活的機會,乍看之下是場穩賺不賠的超值買賣。432Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3OkSRLAN0
432Please respect copyright.PENANAnV2O9Pxksy
可是,哪裡值得了?生命也不是能這樣衡量的吧。起碼對藍髮少年而論,一點也不值得。432Please respect copyright.PENANAPLIU4IXVdO
432Please respect copyright.PENANA9JuDLOd5Gl
如果能代替殿下死掉就好了──心中突地冒出這個想法,可司洛利也明白只不過是癡心妄想,他唯一能做的就是「什麼都不能做」,無能為力的、在未來的某一天,等著自己的主子死去。432Please respect copyright.PENANAvv8SjRRfDG
432Please respect copyright.PENANApDrnCCJWB8
面對瞬間沉默下來的僕役,阿爾法也沒再在這話題上打轉,拋下一句「快把衣服換好」就離開寢室。432Please respect copyright.PENANACNAu7B4DcA
