「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xtH7zrlZJ
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfDZLLfW8i
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz77JzqGSCX
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsIoyhrkNX
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFJVfcNjFU
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx4dFF0GlG
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6eWAucJfL
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxXBOOjLld
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV80tFj23NB
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BUfqKx4fX
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKM4kEYof8
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBd5hbuSS1
「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？」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kiNsqR8mA
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBXEDbWBUl
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlX1NKh6bv
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9opBsPNJFn
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegnVirt5v3
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B4iypoRIH
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h91CaVHHO
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdMlkcztbg
「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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ8ubZkkZG
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHiM9gbH1K
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHtTSggYrh
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6ewnqw6z6
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh6itqWJOq
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCLyisWNPe
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpXt9YofCu
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsMBWz1FLv
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdieKVA6tA
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DNQ9iP7Vf
「幫忙？」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrosfccnbn
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeWXeneDtn
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDR8c1BnEU
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPp8t6N79X
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIGasQdMEO
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtJssQIdGx
「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。」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDrBhQ310q
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3VNWyJf4l
「可、可是......」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUklVLnsjy
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyklvhexUd5
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2TxcXQpcq
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxriVsWTNc
「啊......喔......」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsYMQJm33P
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmkuWX8BS0
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSPfiz5mIn
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOBRfEvQBP
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV1p5cpN1f
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OpT9dgkto
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj2wUa8UQt
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMJb7OD1xW
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！1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFds3mCkRm
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7If8SyVuh
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWNgADy2aW
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ340zK6OMuu
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWtGK2ntxw
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCWLGK5B3S
不行！1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DtJGkmFEi
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKrM4suHRg
她搖了搖頭。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTxUE8CDsd
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uZTunnhuj
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vQ3xDIKkk
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq5UWrF0r1
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaidf2UY4F
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCSScFZpy4
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqj35Ez7KQ
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQICTHNnswR
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJKK2Hk1KO
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TaFy8RfP8
「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。」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmUHMA4khl
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Ra0j4EUC
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH18qtyw6uE
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFe9Nttut0
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMExHV4BbIU
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXmOQihJK2
「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。」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1R8dAzuI1
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfzVPUpq0h
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfqC4Wa41W
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmaPZB4e1F
「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！」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6OM9IcWYW
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKVBmiZNvO
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoeOg3xPpO
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikeNI1ZNaq
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpJ1Mh3stJ
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE853bmPA0A
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzolE1plP3
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QI53ujU5i
「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！」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzoxXuIp3U
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkumg2C1XA2
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwoUkXedI6
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9eZLLBzn0
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggSi1ozexn
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SdY6HzvHA
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsNJmoAIGQ
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZZRYVQAOB
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01jom4g5J1
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBv0oHh6qt
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！」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqjj16MP58
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaDcVUhNG1
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL36HryGpN
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhC7YO0ata
「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......」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVKmSPXnhe
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCOnX0S8Ui
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh92kr19cn
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNgRA5y4Pw
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJx5AGmDm6
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHA7ylnNAN
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZwP0SSkNx
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXcd8dkggX
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jWGo4rerX
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKWHpS4H80
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqX3IyMHOS
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeZrsIJBE2
「不需要！」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfqIIB6Fam
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfMOA6PsEB
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G9MPdPdS8
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn4Q9NqwdX
「又怎麼了？」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23TqxcLd94
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ6BfKqbef
「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？」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2H0PSA7AM
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5DR88WOcC
「職責......」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZER260Aev
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiK40hLOl5
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIcWeI74w5
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eLQWGrnCz
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecPeQzvrfq
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxuPzi3sWc
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxiuVeQ2Ob
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLhbfGZ9QC
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgrCKeRQoU
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GGKvL65Ql
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWxsjb9sX4
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8DbS2uDHH
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnyNF69jei
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE67XPRTKfS
「嗯。」1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNRln0q4dj
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIGniUOfwt
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP4YRdBLAa
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFqORF1H2n
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！1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUAwv9PO5m
1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7SN4QjBTx
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。1044Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzEVsJMotE
