「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdwVTL4JUH
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlFt0jdR6j
烏爾莉卡的視線越過鬣狗少年的肩膀，看見另一名更嬌小......甚至稱得上消瘦的嬌小身影站在不遠處。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXm7kznUsU
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiF3nep23y
這名女孩才剛滿十歲左右，如銀雪般色澤的髮絲與跟烏爾莉卡幾乎一模一樣，可與母親冷冽且堅定的目光不一樣的是，她的雙眸則透漏一份出於擔心受怕、逆來順從的神情。即使周遭的天氣潮濕炎熱，而且羊毛服裝將她從頭頂到腳裸包裹得緊緊的，她瘦小的身子卻仍在微微哆嗦，宛如寒風中的落葉，一吹就會飛走。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfKzrdvVa0
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK0oHUpNE6
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mhsqDMRS3
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtuPfXaihX
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMAHIJbDE0
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlwXa76dKJ
只見銀髮小女孩的肩膀一震；每當母親說出自己全名時，就代表她自己惹上麻煩了。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEnjkhb6Wm
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNQF4v4dsS
「你害媽媽擔心極了你知道嗎？妳怎麼沒告訴我就自己跑出去？」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yAHJV95uF
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYqsbwDEfj
烏爾莉卡的雙眸乍一看泛著幾乎可稱之為冰冷的色澤，但面對女兒時卻實實在在充盈著、並釋放著無法忽視的溫暖熱度。只不過當她在詢問女兒時，著急的口氣中帶了點咄咄逼人的味道。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFqgkyh6QD
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6tFsIb7lx
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwnwR7rUJv
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdDhW5FIEm
直到此刻，烏爾莉卡才注意到女兒手上提著一只裝滿清水的木製水桶。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj6HUmwfnl
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IBxO7uDco
「是他叫你去提水來的？」烏爾莉卡狠狠瞪向一旁癱坐在地上，乾咳著的鬣狗少年。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHRvykPRyM
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQLx6ItVm8
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aHFv6WHxx
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbDWkVnQLJ
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSuJ2teyoa
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2PJaqiV7h
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz3mPQ2dNs
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WYOotd7hG
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBepzylg3PT
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzVmpaqfMK
「幫忙？」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAzXKmTf54
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4oNQB733T
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbFMhxIpXi
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZKOzROofn
女兒這句話頓時觸動了烏爾莉卡的心弦，一陣難以言喻的刺痛與哀愁湧向她的心頭。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDguhEVA15
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRPrnjuL7z
「傻孩子，挑水這種事交給我去做就行了。」烏爾莉卡說：「我們也可以向挑水夫買水呀。更何況水井又這麼遙遠，一路上可能會發生許多危險。」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAWHMrxGze
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaV3Eb1cLP
「可、可是......」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZToEoPA8s4
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FYJLTpHGp
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUnN0xdULu
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVgiRE7e7p
「啊......喔......」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoR6ZBWIeE
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1QswLWflN
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohhTLbNzxk
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUBuFeRtwx
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjleQZUKuBr
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqDosh2OEB
有些時候她還真希望女兒能對她大聲嚷嚷想要什麼，而不是把所有心事一股腦的全往肚裡吞。這孩子內斂性格多半是從她那繼承下來的，但莎薇卻嚴重缺乏在必要時挺起胸膛、堅定信念的勇氣與決心。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI8yyFqxtb
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NTPDqATYu
烏爾莉卡輕嘆一口氣；畢竟莎薇自出生後就不斷遭遇各種變動——而且還都是負面的那一種！1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQdzwi9K5F
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7YYzsHpNc
每況愈下的生活環境，讓莎薇連一個舒服的夏日午後都得引頸期盼，最終導致她對於未來缺乏期許。更別她的未來簡直能稱之為一片迷茫。烏爾莉卡常常見到莎薇臉上露出茫然無神的表情，就連那一雙大大的眼睛都顯得目光渙散。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfcl5HLYnR
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WcnVhAdX9
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFyph8ktMk
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yEfp25bv3
不行！1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjlzXFXAd7
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDOAku27uu
她搖了搖頭。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdVGxYNMJ4
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwM884KJP5
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP0CvYOlFx
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bQirZo3Am
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHHwPGlY6g
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAW3MAH0JA
就在此時，烏爾莉卡的思緒被艾塔奇的喃喃自語給拉了回來。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVt5IpHKIL
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQmin94aOi
她轉過頭去，看見剛才被自己抓起來的鬣狗少年搖搖晃晃地重新站起身子，他的臉色似乎還有些蒼白。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkxgXYCFuK
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuIk52we1A
「下一次您又要找莎薇小姐的話，請別用這麼粗暴的方式。」艾塔奇邊說邊揉了揉自己發紅的脖子。「剛才是莎薇小姐主動找我去挑水，我一路上我都有看顧好她的安全。」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbrDhaYIpC
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBk48APpTW
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrHturzCcD
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbAwXCbqt9
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTebpzwIH0
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWrDc8FFMY
「就......就算是這樣，我也不放心將她交給其他人帶，更別說是頭野獸人了。莎薇是我人生的一切。假如她發生什麼萬一的話，我絕對饒不了任何人......或鬣狗。」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEElxaSIPMt
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8iovxlOGz
烏爾莉卡本以為自己凌厲的目光會使對方膽怯，但艾塔奇反而直率地迎向她的目光。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7PYaqP0q9
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FTnXRvizD
「這是當然的！」艾塔奇拍胸保證，一字一句都誠摯無比。「我清楚曉得莎薇小姐對您有多麼的重要，我會盡自己最大的力量來保護她！」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6PnSs19DL
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAYTfOry8n
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4prnzjRB7F
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqrBx61mre
烏爾莉卡不自覺地避開他的視線，對眼前這名少年坦率的言行有點招架不住。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCz9ooiwBG
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieiZdzc3Kf
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdaCuZAuwF
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEnCa869aa
「您是我的女王。而我，出身於鬣狗獸族的艾塔奇，也曾發誓過女王的願望是我的願望！」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0LAq6e0OH
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zsk7yu0rG
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQcrv2KdZ1
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizks5QghHe
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNU5iRy2T0
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCS07Tzsee
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6yuRHnGSi
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVStxFC85Z0
一位是他全心侍奉氏族族長，這是因為統治鬣狗氏族的皆是女子。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjSfqgAiS4
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkuQBPCotI
烏爾莉卡夫人是我的妻子，所以我稱呼您為女王完全沒有問題！」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjKrSuAU7f
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PRSpCstBF
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNagnJHloI
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyir7lJWlB
「可是我們倆已經在尼卡罕(nikah)——婚姻婚契上簽了名，從此我們倆就是夫.....夫妻了......」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssktQ1gH3u
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ulFwJpGWQ
烏爾莉卡忽然注意到艾塔奇雙頰泛起紅潮，只見他乾咳了幾聲，目光左右飄動，似乎不知道該看哪裡才好。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPNASTik5S
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7jd6N0wQy
直到此時，烏爾莉卡這才發覺自己頭髮凌亂，幾縷銀色髮絲貼在脖頸上，脖子至鎖骨及雙峰處香汗淋漓。身上的白色羊毛上衣更是全被汗水浸溼，顯露出她曼妙姣好的身材。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDa9zhg3bo
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNZxcjEzfZ
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KODcvBqRT
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAIbBz5MyH
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt0Lb1OrA6
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fj0twfAlf
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqMoBqSjGa
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93tFl4q5le
「不需要！」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuJlaQkQ04
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB7MVLn6cF
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1jKsLERaH
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zYVl8dZ62
「又怎麼了？」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqZwGpzHpg
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt3QdaH7s2
「您住在這也有一個多星期了，」艾塔奇紅著臉緩緩的低下頭，一臉羞澀地說：「是時候該盡一下妳的.....職責吧？」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko76tJ073m
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmKijjFQ79
「職責......」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzUDVbsFJU
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfC3Egwb0v
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvbSAZjD8l
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tgxa4ppQG
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5fUcFReS4
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsL1b2llT0
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgWsbzKSmW
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cN8m2lyVT
可是當烏爾莉卡重新面向對方，她正巧一眼對上艾塔奇那雙誠懇溫暖、閃閃發光的眼眸。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow8z5i9o5m
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa768bAQXHo
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi87BY4bXNb
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GHpiaRMpw
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyI6ZS5Le2
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkPwXlL8Ka
「嗯。」1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39rGVaAkyy
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfwUied1eB
烏爾莉卡冷漠地點了點頭，然後轉身離去。但是在那張冰冷面孔之下，卻是一個正在吶喊的靈魂。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA637vu9E3
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCcT6HFvmT
我明明是個三十歲的婦人，為什麼這個十二歲的男孩會成為我的丈夫啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8oI84cP0z
1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dx8aOf6cy
內心被這份難以言喻的困惑所衝擊，使得烏爾莉卡不禁回憶起自己過往的人生，以及不久前發生的那齣重大事件。1160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAYwljRGv8
