閱兵結束後便是騎士受封大典。這次共有十五位在軍、政、學、醫領域表現傑出的候選人，大葆士便是其中一名。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6mLMz5yMn
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwycRvdmOD
大葆士在化妝間整理妝容時，葛柏上尉前來找他。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmApsWF0gsa
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWSjU6OpOJ
「少校，您今天辛苦了！」葛柏上尉愧疚地看著正被化妝師努力拆鬍的大葆士：「我必須為昨晚魯莽的言行跟您道歉！」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNLDvO16Lt
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rEPYCj3bZ
「沒關係。」大葆士笑道。然而他的笑容因為臉頰被拉扯的關係，形成誇張弧度。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9qoYRHkEO
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTiIk8ZJy7
「不，我真的很抱歉！您是很偉大的機擬員，我必會用餘生誓死效忠您！」葛柏上尉說完，用力行了一個完美軍禮！351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQsa6ibfuv
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBekeHCYehi
大葆士正要回禮時，一直拔不下來的假鬍突然鬆脫，他就這樣一頭撞上梳妝台！351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dYsxLbIVN
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxEaeEeRO3
「哎呀！我的歡鴿！」眾人驚叫。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4pPCtB0MZ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzuMosRKQC
受封大典在柏金漢宮主殿──「柏金大堂」舉行。女皇及主要王室成員皆會齊聚一堂，給予受封者祝福。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7rJopJ8tW
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzz7EBubS3
大葆士換上正式軍官裝，以真實模樣參與典禮。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4o5yCrCEF
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbj698jmS3
原本戰神殿打算讓大葆士依照宣傳照的形象出席，但美編部和公關部在看到大葆士閱兵的野人樣後，毅然決然放棄了這項決定。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL2OdTGWqA
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBivZXuqDHv
弄巧成拙的失誤，一次就夠了。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvpjLFk5cN
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc5eyEgpBD
大葆士是第一次進入柏金漢宮的主殿，平民無法入內，只有王室貴族和高階政要才能登堂。然而，只要成為王室騎士，日後便可以自由進出主殿，享受最低貴族的待遇。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHwH8AdWNA
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm4012Eg9Q
輪到大葆士進行受封了。他慎重的走上台階，在女皇腳前屈膝跪地。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G09kwtIn4
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvgYueufQX
「機擬員少校大葆士 ‧ 溫頓，吾今日奉歡鴿旨意，冊封汝為荊心騎士。今後汝將不惜一切保衛國土，守護弱者。無畏不懼！無堅不摧！此誓言汝必銘記在心，永誌不忘！」女皇平舉沒有劍尖的長劍，將其按在大葆士的右肩上，祝福道。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4IWmDSRI7
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7GTXYsjH2
女皇收起長劍，微彎下腰扶起大葆士，布滿皺紋的臉龐帶有無比的暖意。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBQITNUES5
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6qZnB98Qg
「孩子，你今天表現得很好，布列斯托能擁有你是何等的幸運。」女皇看著大葆士輕語，後者臉頰泛起紅暈。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZR0SEeYZ2
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCH51sCucM
「謝謝您的讚賞，女皇陛下。」大葆士不敢貿然直視女皇，當上騎士是布列斯托平民的夢想。對於 10 歲還躺在髒亂酒瓶堆裡過活的大葆士而言，可從來沒想過自己會有這麼一天。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAjGyMP4lg
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhaH69l9Bs
「不過你好像長得跟剛才不太一樣呢。」女皇露出慈祥帶點慧黠的微笑：「這才是你原本的樣子，對吧？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeohTqoAr0W
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxQ8lZpFCb
「是的，女皇陛下。」大葆士有些尷尬的低下頭。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm29lxClsm
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiB9G600Tv
接著是授與騎士胸章的儀式。依照布列斯托王室傳統，每位騎士將由大王子或大公主的子嗣親手別上騎士胸章。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48K8EiQKap
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSi2S0VkDt
大王子威卡漢 ‧ 金列斯有三名孩子，這次的授與儀式將由今年滿 20 歲的三公主──艾雀 ‧ 金列斯主持。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjvPQJ3xnx
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0VgZSVDbO
艾雀 ‧ 金列斯三公主為王室著名的可人兒，也被媒體譽為集美麗與感性於一身的文學公主。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhiYWPbZMo
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37FI35SRXO
艾雀三公主雖然還是大學生，卻已經出版過不少膾炙人口的愛情文學作品。美麗的她擁有眾多追求者，也因此經歷過幾段戀情。而這些戀情都幻化成她筆下的唯美愛情故事。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJKPV6DWFW
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwSKf7h9HP
身著水藍半肩禮服的艾雀公主依序為一字排開的新任騎士們別上胸章。有好幾名男性騎士在對上艾雀公主那水靈靈的大眼時，臉頰同耳根子紅了起來！351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg8nzGcMRB
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0spfug1k9
「願歡鴿祝福你。」艾雀公主清澈好聽的嗓音讓騎士們聽得如癡如迷。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IebOmA5E1
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgktpUJbac
艾雀公主捧著特製胸章盒來到大葆士面前，她看向大葆士，後者眼睛眨也不眨的直視她。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9IWDeuMAA
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5symPZRXOB
「……願歡鴿祝福你。」艾雀公主停頓了兩秒，隨後打開盒子，為大葆士別上胸章。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GYn9yO4g8
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6suKDws8QR
別好胸章後，艾雀公主纖長的手指停在大葆士的胸口上，遲遲沒有移動。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkcFKPFm2h
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH8d2beVyC
「殿下，該輪到下一位了！」一旁侍從小聲提醒，艾雀公主這才回過神！她快速抽回手，尷尬地離開大葆士面前。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdA2pK3TO1
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Pvqto1Yl
受封大典結束後便是下午茶會。原本大葆士預計在結束後前往「象牙基地塔」與巴特夫進行交接，但女皇讓人傳訊給他，希望他能留下來與年紀相仿的王子公主們一起喝杯茶。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTv2OhVmnS
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmmZvrNQMi
大葆士來到茶會舉行地點，也就是皇宮後花園。花園由專業花匠精心打造，並聘請園丁隨時照護，別緻景象讓大葆士在花叢前逗留許久。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov06sH1LBP
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BLKtUAH00
「那是『金葉莓』，口感甜甜澀澀的。」大葆士的背後響起清澈女音，大葆士連忙側身彎腰，朝艾雀公主行禮：「艾雀殿下好。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6litLQ0d3m
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0X6KQkM5V
「你好，溫頓少校。」艾雀公主露出淺笑：「你對植物有興趣嗎？喜歡的話，不妨摘一個試吃看看，我小時候很常吃的。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP8nucqwcr
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x9VvVTBnT
「不用了，謝謝殿下。」大葆士維持行禮姿勢不動。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOM5LuqBg0
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw7EMSHjVK
「沒關係的，啊，你請先站好吧。」艾雀公主伸手摘了一顆顏色最為鮮豔的莓果，遞到大葆士手上：「請用，溫頓少校。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL0Kfs4tcW
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIFMuqCshe
「謝謝殿下。」大葆士直起身，接過公主給的莓果。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCOsDN2rW4
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFx9rIBstT
「金葉莓的汁液具補血作用，對女性來說是很好的補品。殿下可請御廚幫您熬煮成果茶，飯後飲用。」大葆士說完將莓果放進嘴裡。艾雀公主眨眼。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJUXocpxdN
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kCmAHBbNG
「聽聞少校是高閣醫學大學跳級畢業的高材生，果然是博學多聞！」艾雀公主讚揚道：「溫頓少校，我想邀請你一同到位上喝茶，不知你意下如何？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ347D8EvLZT
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tLaO1KzwL
「那是我的榮幸，殿下。」大葆士再度彎腰。鮮豔莓果其實是過熟的，味道很苦，他心想。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvxrkGieCd
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hX51GFgCT
在艾雀公主的邀請下，大葆士來到茶會區。只見穿著精緻的貴族們一派輕鬆的坐在典雅沙發上，邊聊天邊享用美味茶點。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lguENfk0N
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRljssUd9Se
「溫頓少校，請坐。」艾雀公主讓侍女去準備新鮮茶點，打算與大葆士一起享用。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycon5jWuI8
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe69CYCY8ES
然而，大葆士卻是站在原處，一動也不動。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbwW2RcZAL
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigtVqN9Rig
「溫頓少校？」艾雀公主輕喚道，大葆士盯著眼前享受生活的王室貴族們，瞳孔失去光澤。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuJDfzS6mk
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcXsrJLw1t
「大葆士？」艾雀公主喊道，大葆士回神，面帶歉色的朝公主行禮道歉。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGit92ngaLo
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaoFZ7gkgG
「不用那麼拘束，其實我們年紀差不多的。」艾雀公主笑道：「以後只有我們兩個的話，你不用對我行禮，說好了。」她小聲補充。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aTXXwT01p
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4ujenuYGM
「好的，殿下。」大葆士點頭。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MNhblGmYl
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOefuvuVbH
侍女提著點心塔和剛泡好的奶茶上桌。大葆士看著裝滿精緻茶點的餐塔，露出笑眼。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4npRLSnkBp
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdqBcOuhwC
「少校喜歡吃甜點嗎？」艾雀公主注意到大葆士在笑，於是問道。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhOtsRlkld
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZehJVZHf4T
「Hehe ，不是，只是第一次看到這麼漂亮的食物。」大葆士專注看著塔上的小蛋糕，殊不知艾雀公主正透過餐塔的間隙欣賞他的表情。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQUCNt4zj1
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqU7fOgGvV
「請吃吃看。你喜歡的話，我可以再請御廚準備一份。」公主笑道。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG9mup9wuG

351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA92Uz1dDkS
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6HByTPVLf
「請問少校有閱讀文學書籍的習慣嗎？」飲茶過程中，艾雀公主問道。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4weKI9pCT
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk43USdAtib
「有的，閒暇時會看。」大葆士小心翼翼的把蛋糕上的白巧克力片摘下，艾雀公主眨眼。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyKEiK19dF
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyKuisvMP8
「那……你都看什麼類型的？情感類的你會看嗎？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJy7rJ3a9r
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUhVN99doP
「多半是哲學，不看情感。」大葆士把巧克力片放進口中，艾雀公主抿嘴。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFFf9XkF3M
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAvnwsy4B5
「希望我這麼問不會冒犯到你。」艾雀公主看著大葆士：「請問少校有情人嗎？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3mA7rI1Go
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOTOafpyar
大葆士挑眉，公主見狀連忙打圓場。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5ddhoovyp
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp86EZjDAt
「請別誤會，因為你剛才提到很少在看情感作品，所以我才好奇是不是已經有陪伴對象才不感興趣……」艾雀公主伸手撥弄垂在耳際下的髮絲，模樣有些失措。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhrW2NSoVK
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDDvMGrWcu
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEcZuBZeOc
「我沒有情人，也認為自己不值得擁有。」大葆士望向遠方若隱若現的鋼鐵牆：「我能做的，就是保護各位與各位的情人，讓大家能安心延續人類的文明。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOR4EZobnX
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ9AvUZMXS
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItDXzqHB7f
「請別這麼說，溫頓少校。」艾雀公主皺起漂亮的濃眉：「我完全不認為你不值得擁有，你在大眾眼裡是相當出眾的男性。」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXwd5Qt5Rq
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprr5OMIxde
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctMRwl60iu
「艾雀姊姊！」公主身後傳來銀鈴般的笑聲，只見一名穿著新潮的亮麗女孩從背後一把環住她的脖子，將頭抵在她的肩頸處笑看坐在對面的大葆士。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kcO2P3BYK
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKdWvEav8n
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg9ju3kf6k
「欸？這位該不會就是那個機擬員少校？」女孩睜大眼打量大葆士：「你的鬍子咧？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAaXJttWE5
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwWHHmnkaQ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilEAyiU90W
「希文，在貴賓面前這樣太沒禮貌了。」艾雀公主無奈道，她輕搖頸部示意女孩鬆手。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalzkKnZtig
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BvnErP4Id
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1DRBdCl03
「您好，希文 ‧ 溫莎 ‧ 衛利普公主殿下。」大葆士對這名字有印象，他連忙從位上站起，對溫莎大公爵今年剛滿 18 歲的愛女行禮。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEPkEX972h
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ031K4m0CJe
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HRYlk2aTy
「我太驚訝了！沒想到大葆士 ‧ 溫頓實際上這麼年輕！」希文公主坐到艾雀公主旁邊：「哇！長得還有點可愛欸！」她眼角勾起。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iGJW8KtBT
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Y9q3C7Dv
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtA9ONtPzZ
「希文，我正在──」艾雀公主話還沒講完，立即被前者打斷！351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHFqHp8hXt
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DgWinfyNc
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIj4CHqxLM
「溫頓少校知道我嗎？有在雜誌上看過我嗎？」希文公主說完站起身，開始在附近走起台步。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Meat2muwO
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjM4ftublp
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNpcHTqz0t
「知道，殿下是模特兒。」大葆士回答，猜謎他可從來沒輸過。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQL5FRW8aQ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN99xhUfx7
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXrNBcDRW6
「哇！好開心喔！」希文公主甩動淡亞麻色的波浪大捲髮：「那你覺得我漂亮嗎？」351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Y5fz9oj3
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ674rgntYS6
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdlBGKJIcv
「殿下非常漂亮。」大葆士沒有多想的附和。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e6y1rJX8O
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPSAUcdDQs
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxBmM6wqte
「真的嗎？可是你從剛才開始就沒有在看我啊！只是一直看著後面的樹！」希文公主說完來到大葆士旁邊，緊挨著他的腳邊蹲下並且仰頭望著他。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWwxCRpXSk
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo0vLjPemQ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJoZVTuehh
「不！殿下靠太近了！」大葆士趕緊從椅上離開，一不小心撞上正在送茶的侍女！351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7m0QEU8ol
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQmzA53i3I
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir5kOXc3rn
名貴茶壺從托盤上飛出，大葆士見狀立即伸出右手！魔方迅速從腕帶蔓延而出，眨眼間便構成一具機械手臂，在茶壺落地前及時接下！351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M8zrPPC8B
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdbQNeKUMK
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlriz3hdmr
「哇塞！」看到這幕的王室貴族們不禁放聲驚嘆！侍女連連對著大葆士鞠躬致謝，後者則是趕緊解除魔方。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkbUwiU6Wd
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8khpk1uVN8
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtgzTIYwmp
「兩位殿下非常抱歉，時間不早了，我得趕去『象牙基地塔』進行交接。很榮幸有這個機會跟兩位聊天。」大葆士對公主們行完禮後，迅速離開。351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHaapMBnaG
