「有妳在的話，我們肯定能打造一個國泰民安的國家。」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hsxowSzsa
「我把她交給你們！求求你們！放過我和我的宮殿吧！」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUj3Q4KKeW
「妳根本就不是女神……而是會帶來毀滅的邪惡女巫！」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eK8cbBeRl
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEYRTgnvSn
「伊德里爾，妳為何仍然執迷不悟？」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIFqTZqlly
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjNSVlDA6z
「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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3vkUuKpXQ
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gOHZTx7gm
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAbFVkpePT
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD6MBFjdGG
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76pxEtXN9T
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt6XY6N4nw
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIG2N97NcT
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFerJJdshmK
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsWpJa7OBY
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00cpkIQBr9
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3jN0vduOg
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspsWKS4aQ2
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8f5nFcJnP
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjqccCddo0
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB9UCzcDqc
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDyBO8vnFp
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGnDbMR3Q1
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPR62KM1Aq
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNcjer621W
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZYfxhVXG5
阿特里奇她……會記得嗎……？她不禁暗忖。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09zi3ZsdRl
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIKov7JzBp
啪咔。眼角的餘光捕捉到半邊的宮門敞開了。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNdp29emse
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0IwTOf67O
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhDEK5cofu
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFEb15vTcC
「伊……」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChnXMZ3DZk
「伊德里爾！」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlyQOl3VIB
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmry4FYIZFx
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDiSF2rvWa
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK9UqSW0D3
「妳終於醒了！我好擔心妳！」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wnn5dCx1b
「妳還好嗎……？」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEjcNERcuA
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbihBgxzzz9
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPEau8ckQG
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1WV0saYn3
啪、啪。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5kwku0CWa
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ZWO1HofB
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrxVyeDJlm
「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！」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27vW47Wx0N
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczPEbsIntJ
語落，帕米拉如同往常一樣堅定且迅速地舉起手。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg3VmqQo7L
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi0lZKrnMe
「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！」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZffI7rURGT
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KgqDvMrtv
「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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGER2RSNVxn
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIYwcujNe1
這是伊德里爾最喜歡她的地方──直截痛快的行事風格。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrvJOYg7Hs
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvEDgtHF0I
「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……？」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ843t5aDBLQ
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HcnRAzRvm
「雖然不知道睡了多久，不過感覺比好多了。」伊德里爾輕笑。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVC97V2J88
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFrdpjwbO3
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……」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2NRkRyEne
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wdDOWqrUK
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9KzWCFhrQ
「五天……」尼爾抬眸對視伊德里爾，濃綠的眼曈微動。「整整五天。」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvxHl4BRV0
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwylSVzljk
「五、五天？」伊德里爾倒抽一口氣。對她而言，這則消息並非好事。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyeuo2WmyX
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpenCP8rdVz
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfmjU8HVQa
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpdqwkus5D
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？」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tw1jqWguP
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPTloUX1YO
尼爾明白隱藏在話語中的重要性，並說了「我會轉告姐姐」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VQtz7121D
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA2Bb4rhBs
「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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH18648MD2
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8uVwgllV3
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlu16YFxFI
「阿特里奇她……她去了精靈之森。」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDRTl4bG8a
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeHnRrFUhX
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGut8Pbqx6
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbU5dMrrtT
「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……？」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVghnYeBnCU
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi2apCC39B
「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……」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2WSA07d5Z
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L0aRrEjLC
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gKtgDO1Bp
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxi79SKBDj
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zovvZzied
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWmZ9vFz3B
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IaMZYqxWL
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOopzQ4CzM
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSgPqswtRx
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXHOTvusij
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFwPQlWVri
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCscSf4HXy
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPbPmZ8hUv
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Z8QSj4bZ
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0x2u6WobG
「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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJnPSZhmVK
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavjR46wIls
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62MXgFGAbd
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccesetP6iC
求求您，請別讓她這麼快離開我。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPNm8vi0sw
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgeINhNBdn
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bhIe4WE9U
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡersZyRR8ds
「伊德里爾大人。」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmLafNtGYU
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo01GK9iYl
「……！」伊德里爾驀地瞪大眼睛，朝聲音方向一望。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N22cNqGZi
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDCfpNTkP7
「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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwqZnpIIf2
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVeKErSNJt
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！」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyCkNm46ON
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvgNr6VADk
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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGlGfIwKHr
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLFl95aivm
「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。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji9fdbT00x
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYqCqhSsrr
幸好、幸好……159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GfPwd8Kyi
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUPAor2czP
她回來了，而且毫髮無傷。159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVZyUeW5k0
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl0L0h9j5U
「讓我……再維持這樣一陣子……」159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3eB7pEtnO
