「有妳在的話，我們肯定能打造一個國泰民安的國家。」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59fyasVhx3
「我把她交給你們！求求你們！放過我和我的宮殿吧！」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj6aa3UC2Q
「妳根本就不是女神……而是會帶來毀滅的邪惡女巫！」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhU5AAyFZa
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX1Aoo1DXY
「伊德里爾，妳為何仍然執迷不悟？」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5cOsXn1pv
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwVht6uwqU
「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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWy33tjWe7
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z3GkCb7Z3
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VnNvxWdVM
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DL6YTi27J
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbQFffojux
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBGMIYn5Lo
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpa8EI7lfB
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5RvqjMWkD
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMEyyOpCQU
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoMMromrxX
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMyIL26L1C
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTZCBSHPAI
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaiyyiTENp
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmVVmOJVKw
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5hM8gcz36
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm0sWPAt6c
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw6lh7HZPS
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKKE0BMJ3s
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfybeHgPOD
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuh1JiTAqH
阿特里奇她……會記得嗎……？她不禁暗忖。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBvhF0WZLL
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySfNvvTPvV
啪咔。眼角的餘光捕捉到半邊的宮門敞開了。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ7M7HMegs
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXQwI84sG4
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQTd00w4qk
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfTVFle5BZ
「伊……」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FC6wLVisn
「伊德里爾！」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY8ljMFSd9
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq8xXBu1VF
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCzCkH5ZIB
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc10QXqMzB
「妳終於醒了！我好擔心妳！」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKgEWWvnwi
「妳還好嗎……？」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf86SHlBIN3
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpn4qRnZpm
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAoBBdLNNT
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU6VT3JCPU
啪、啪。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhufiAPpZW
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtV8LHejKA
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8ixAabM4F
「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！」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvqht3MHGq
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi07nc0Pln
語落，帕米拉如同往常一樣堅定且迅速地舉起手。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8tJV82HrL
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxSKY05qPu
「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！」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyH76W2toQ
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqhAi3RMPk
「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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct24Z2ySvP
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYgb3bMbWk
這是伊德里爾最喜歡她的地方──直截痛快的行事風格。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyO1vPm9GL
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA00tlKAgyw
「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……？」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv0diGVxse
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiNXwICvFO
「雖然不知道睡了多久，不過感覺比好多了。」伊德里爾輕笑。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvma00YwXi
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnOjtGOzbg
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……」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w70b2yM98
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eTCX9U3hC
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28NCW1ESVS
「五天……」尼爾抬眸對視伊德里爾，濃綠的眼曈微動。「整整五天。」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6aGjao47e
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygNtd4qTMj
「五、五天？」伊德里爾倒抽一口氣。對她而言，這則消息並非好事。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrse8R6IT6
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmodAk4u0J2
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrtepbGTsW
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxPs7mDhmk
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？」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnrhfDAVEN
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCmFEMpJfM
尼爾明白隱藏在話語中的重要性，並說了「我會轉告姐姐」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm4kwGnbCE
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwinTyzJflW
「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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qdbVxtM4E
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8JNGFA8su
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuDPpGXRXk
「阿特里奇她……她去了精靈之森。」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFqsLGxGcV
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiChon8sWwq
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6rb9d7TyF
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxQSfWVsTF
「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……？」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ounKGxhF
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCFwCdihlH
「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……」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg8wQbpktI
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul4w1BPbEZ
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NjvytC5GS
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETkBVIi8Bc
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO0vFwURw3
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQZm5S7zgh
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke3fXOOGx7
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWnXrZOUku
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuucpUw8TW
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmITZHaRsBN
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeUzzh3lOH
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgGIYhUNGm
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iCZnowozx
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxTwsphp1m
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1xcr8k2hg
「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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiubUO2NNAS
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w3kk72syd
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTeyiWdbSD
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mLc7pqiuO
求求您，請別讓她這麼快離開我。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9AplOn1Vw
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjeXpTv5Db
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrTa7ULzm9
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli7HFXrXnp
「伊德里爾大人。」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWuVhPfN6m
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtIEShcX4Y
「……！」伊德里爾驀地瞪大眼睛，朝聲音方向一望。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B0aHnGXjP
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTtUKrOZdJ
「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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d4aayYby2
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyxw5WdJ0W
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！」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04T7C85LjQ
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i0bY214lR
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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAiOGIu44n
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXopOnyaMLY
「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。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqW46ZnSpp
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2G2YfH2XF
幸好、幸好……160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LYhFOITUR
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkm8F5Qvr9
她回來了，而且毫髮無傷。160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUawWReZou
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ZGoxca5N
「讓我……再維持這樣一陣子……」160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQchSqmcSGD
