「有妳在的話，我們肯定能打造一個國泰民安的國家。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEo3acLPeJ
「我把她交給你們！求求你們！放過我和我的宮殿吧！」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM4Xg68QbO
「妳根本就不是女神……而是會帶來毀滅的邪惡女巫！」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0j1h9GnmS
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm8QIxytNe
「伊德里爾，妳為何仍然執迷不悟？」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6KxWivuSx
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV5mfxkVZN
「不是的！我──！」伊德里爾猛然睜開眼皮，挺起腰桿，伸直手像是想抓住什麼人。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbblNNY3zki
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHYpp2b2j5
由於過度使力，伊德里爾頓覺一陣頭暈目眩，自己的身體彷彿搖搖欲墜的吊橋。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FB0J2D5dC
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5oF4FoLN4
她深吸一口，將肺部滿盈涼意的空氣，隨後一小點一小點吐出，試圖緩和方才的衝動。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKDFXvvDya
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdjwQkwMfv
綠湖般通透的雙瞳掃視周圍──身上不是穿著記憶中的禮服，而是連身睡衣。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISmXSQukpl
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWCDIiWCQb
床單和枕頭貌似有被汗水浸濕的痕跡。潔白柔軟的棉被整齊地平鋪於腹部，窗簾也牢牢地掩住外頭的景色。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcse1uvuBl
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYpzBGwHHE
伊德里爾將兩指覆上太陽穴，接著順時針畫圓搓揉。她感覺如被針扎過那般頭痛欲裂，甚至連自己是如何換了衣物、躺上了床的印象也蕩然無存。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRX7Gt8370
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBJ1whJ3fx
她闔上雙眼，在意識裡的記憶之海垂釣了良久，最後總算釣起了一塊畫面片段──阿特里奇接吻的轉瞬之間。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTGEIO8FFn
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsVfA4zOBm
羞愧如潮水般襲捲而來，紅暈染上了她白皙的側頰。兩隻手掌將捧住整張臉，像是想用微冷的手阻止因羞澀而導致的熱度繼續上升。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg0wZJ0Wux
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WKBlRACfo
肯定是那杯酒的錯！伊德里爾擰緊眉心，巴不得現在立刻使用時間回溯的魔法，倒轉到宴會前幾個小時。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4XHT0wbYk
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uL1VtDXm6
如此一來，不僅能請人稟告王后殿下由於身體不適，所以無法出席她的生日宴會，也不會喝下那杯使人意亂情迷的杯中物。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPK1Ablpat
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdMwHrcsbQ
阿特里奇她……會記得嗎……？她不禁暗忖。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQSQQsm66G
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq83mD83D7
啪咔。眼角的餘光捕捉到半邊的宮門敞開了。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDoOr4YlQZ
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZQJBsIZ8A
亮眼的金黃髮梢從門縫中露出一小撮，碧眼緩緩地從門後冒出，似乎在窺探著宮內。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfnB6OxecZ
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOCnVGUW9J
「伊……」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BY9y29Pxv
「伊德里爾！」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD79veSz5x
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk3Slhj0tH
銀鈴般的呼喚聲迴盪在宮中，帕米拉拎起緋紅色裙擺，噠噠噠地跑到床邊。尼爾則是把門輕輕帶上後，才慢慢走到帕米拉身旁。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRdJjCTc4x
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolmTnwSWWI
「妳終於醒了！我好擔心妳！」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOSx8jSSdx
「妳還好嗎……？」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7rDjhB8WR
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO9cjqvDD6
擔憂自己的問候此起彼落，模樣儼如兩隻飢腸轆轆的鳥兒，正焦急地向母鳥尋求餵食。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMtA43Bcls
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyr82c3vAY
啪、啪。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglB0M9WLNf
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkhBmmpxFn
伊德里爾輕拍了兩下掌心，打斷了兩人問話，同時也讓他們的視線聚集在自己身上。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcqhSu9Yfd
「孩子們，謝謝你們的擔心。」伊德里爾欣喜一笑。「不過我們還是一個一個來吧？像平時上課的時候一樣提問！」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvda6G2YSa
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIjhdzLPVp
語落，帕米拉如同往常一樣堅定且迅速地舉起手。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxwFCybWBu
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamuXEFJel6
「我我我！」帕米拉纖細的前臂在半空中揮舞。「伊德里爾妳餓了嗎？渴了嗎？我去請人替妳送吃的過來好嗎！」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0zpvS5WSI
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiw9bUlKpF
「當然好呀，小甜心。」伊德里爾抬手輕揉帕米拉的髮絲，小公主笑顏逐開，接著一溜煙衝出寢宮。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtltwZRcRU
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqpZmOVJE9
這是伊德里爾最喜歡她的地方──直截痛快的行事風格。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw2jPRtRA8
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxILuOsaHd
「伊、伊德里爾……」留在原地的尼爾怯生生地詢問：「身體……好一點了嗎……？」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ1UQJsUai
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF9q3V84Lp
「雖然不知道睡了多久，不過感覺比好多了。」伊德里爾輕笑。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxPVsb52Er
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOAcOIX03K
小王子上下點了點頭，讓原本處於緊繃狀態的肩膀確確實實地放鬆下來。「太好了……」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojT6t8m4QB
尼爾雖然不像他姐姐那般直率，但善良且富有同理心的他，是絕不會疏於關心的步驟。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPlqY1Qc8L
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqnNqofjoL
「五天……」尼爾抬眸對視伊德里爾，濃綠的眼曈微動。「整整五天。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4Yvz9IlEj
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdNRwnCI7D
「五、五天？」伊德里爾倒抽一口氣。對她而言，這則消息並非好事。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQTsKH4fzz
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vRy7y3dh1
最近陷入深眠的次數愈來愈多，有時阿特里奇都得喚了好幾聲才會真正清醒過來。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDu6J9zteU
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNwHhPtX53
伊德里爾心事重重地支手撐頭，向尼爾叮囑道：「以後……萬一我睡得太久的話，請你和小公主不論用何種方式，請一定、一定要叫醒我，好嗎？」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPfbLOwcWk
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVzt50WUlx
尼爾明白隱藏在話語中的重要性，並說了「我會轉告姐姐」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH57dq2D5Fp
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFRiNaD1vN
「話說回來，阿特里奇去哪了？」按理說，此刻那名守護騎士應當要出現在眼前才是。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQfu3XrUTV
只見尼爾欲言又止的神情，伊德里爾便知在自己睡覺期間裡，估計發生了什麼事。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBp9dJhNo3
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvnfTzDUZm
「阿特里奇她……她去了精靈之森。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfvXadOIXK
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2PgfpHzJi
伊德里爾一陣驚悸，本來好不容易恢復正常運作的腦袋，現在卻變成了茫然且不知所措的白紙，一下子什麼話也說不出來。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR85XSrzJJ
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEvXKp0htg
「為……為什麼？」伊德里爾感覺自己的牙齒正不斷打顫。「她一個人嗎？是誰讓她去的……？」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbRG9FAKkS
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbApjU8tlD
「是的……而且是阿特里奇自願去的。她說那裡的泉水能讓伊德里爾更快好起來……」尼爾眉尾下彎，表露無奈。「但……」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIaFTRraFe
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp5BawTezZ
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp2ft9sojz
精靈之森……距離這兒騎馬過去最多也就三天，然而端看尼爾凝重的神情──很難不去聯想阿特里奇是否遭遇了困難。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH18GHFaNlV
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS4c1NaqvB
況且最近聽聞越來越多的族人不喜歡人類踏入森林裡。尤其是那些打從一開始就不信任人類的精靈，他們認為人類是愚蠢無知且蠻橫無禮。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8QQHsifJR
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAwVij6aLi
據說他們甚至會無聲無息地除掉任何一位入侵者。不分種族、不分性別。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpqG3Bogar
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68QXnZWUjn
精靈之森的泉水不僅是精靈長壽的要素之一，也是某種特效藥，能使人快速消除自身的異狀。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH1Jtzq1Mu
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrsVuyAqEO
那個笨蛋騎士……伊德里爾雙手揪緊棉被。心臟像是被人掐住般無法正常跳動，上排齒彷彿快要將下唇咬出鮮血。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUgIlYqS3w
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64i32QPs26
再怎麼樣也不能一個人去啊……伊德里爾心裡焦急如熱鍋上的螞蟻。難以平復的情緒匯聚成一團熱氣流，在她的體內不間斷循環。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcbdPFN7ZB
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltOMfS8Ii8
「我……我去外面幫妳看看阿特里奇回來了沒有……！」伊德里爾抱有同樣心情的尼爾，向伊德里爾簡單行禮後，快步離開宮中。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIZ6czc60T
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqJYivrPfY
伊德里爾閉眼且雙手交扣，如同修女禱告般嘴巴不停歇地碎念著，像是在吟唱冗長的精靈語。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0dFvxZNhN
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhBU2yxAs1
求求您，請別讓她這麼快離開我。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXB7C9R1of
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3nYoExoN3
伊德里爾加大握力，向信奉的神明傾訴自己內心深處的渴望。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8v7bLegWR
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOfLTf2OjO
「伊德里爾大人。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk6mS74NAE
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlV03dQQiI
「……！」伊德里爾驀地瞪大眼睛，朝聲音方向一望。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06BYoRpRMM
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiu3d3dlGR
「您醒了。」阿特里奇穿著一如往日的白色軍服，一手扶於劍首，另一手貌似握著什麼東西，出現在伊德里爾面前。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtJaDY9rBq
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPkiIjCm9c
阿特里奇一步步靠近床鋪邊，將手心攤開亮出一罐裝有透明液體的小藥瓶。「或許……喝下這個能讓您趕快──呃！」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l4fqfGVk1
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9P6i4ShLI
伊德里爾奮不顧身地擁住阿特里奇的腰圍，隱忍已久的淚水奪眶而出。她感覺心臟正在異於平常劇烈地跳動，彷彿將剛才所有的想法全都拋諸腦後。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X1eSfI4cA
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqSViCfFO8
「伊德里爾大人？」阿特里奇鮮少地發出驚嘆，手浮在空中不知該如何是好。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARce7AKqWF
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l502D6kIW
幸好、幸好……127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUOShApvtq
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwtlwSz3Jx
她回來了，而且毫髮無傷。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3FA3rTvnv
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriBKkLhHhk
「讓我……再維持這樣一陣子……」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfEIjemYFp
