暴雨伴隨著夜幕降臨王國已經有十來日了。雷聲與閃電不甘示弱，一聲聲雷鳴讓人震耳欲聾。如水晶般透徹的雨珠大滴大滴地砸向玻璃窗，狂風在外頭咆哮，彷彿下一秒便能將窗戶擊個粉碎。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3p1ada8nP
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6E5BWn2ih
伊德里爾的寢宮裡僅有的光源只剩床頭櫃的上的圓形檯燈，米黃色的微光默默奉獻著它的光芒。除了照亮平常睡覺的那一側外，其餘的地方全像是被刷上了黑色油漆，無法看清。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyJW8S7gz8
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSplD7uNrd
「哈啊……」伊德里爾換完白色連身裙睡衣，坐在梳妝台前將置於胸前的髪辮解開，隨後走向窗台把窗簾唰的一聲拉上。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQFEdGYCiP
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwLvQAki6D
恐懼──是與生俱來的一種心理反應，並且在人類的七情六欲中佔有一席之地。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORyVYN2aP7
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaUc6qgLqa
當然……精靈族也不例外。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cqr9JBtUc
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL3VRW1dgG
轟隆！225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLciEDmRLL
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIfa2bAYm6
一道閃電劃破了夜色帷幕，光亮轉瞬即逝。而炸雷的聲響卻嚇得伊德里爾如膽小的老鼠般竄進厚重的被子裡。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYAov87S7L
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BdrFUnL8k
在被窩的保護之下，伊德里爾能減少雷聲對自己的傷害。雖然精靈的尖耳相較於人類更為靈敏，但也十分脆弱。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Eci4tVg41
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY30KezAFO
伊德里爾將被子牢牢裹住自己，只露出一顆頭再度朝窗戶的方向看去。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOzo4GBQV7
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35jg1xIF6o
似曾相似的情景在伊德里爾的腦中浮現──猛烈的大雨、響徹雲霄的轟雷、混亂的步伐、刺耳的金屬碰撞聲。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQwAPElBTp
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7gQ8397x5
伊德里爾用顫抖的雙手摀住兩耳，弓起腿，將整張臉埋進了雙腿間。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxog0fvDai
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7y6e2HoCc
她以為她已經忘了。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYdd1vLIaq
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjEXj8BuYh
長壽對她來說如同攀附在全身的荊棘，而記憶就像是荊棘上的刺，兩者的共同點是──伊德里爾都沒辦法輕易擺脫。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfH9Hkk6xX
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnpKTR1cYH
好不容易找到了自己的容身之處，是一個和出生地相似、和平又幸福的國家。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV52W1RGB2
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxiFTag8Gj
可過去經歷的場景每日每夜、不厭其煩地造訪伊德里爾。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tI8X3ZD8N
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1G2UdzBtt
曾經侍奉過最終卻毀滅的王國在夢裡化作一場戲無止境地再演，夢魘伸出無數隻手將她束縛在前排的位子，令無法動彈的伊德里爾痛不欲生。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtqDYpcjpj
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ASDkLOhIG
「絕不能重蹈覆轍，我一定要守護好王國。」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0LPku8gGN
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVsseOYxnb
這句話是在伊德里爾成為王國的祭司之前，於心中發過的誓言。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz4IzT3lx3
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2WpoWpQmI
咿呀……225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcuWAqJPxz
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BDJGoJuA3
伊德里爾的耳朵抽動了一下，聽見似乎有人悄悄地推開了大門。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGb7rqf5lz
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDR2Y3vfhg
「是誰？」伊德里爾連忙將被子撫平，將它覆蓋於腰上。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SfvBSCEFA
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb5Wi5SiVR
片刻，從暗處緩緩現身的是──端著熱茶的阿特里奇。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN1UpPszfO
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxdMHHQ0fZ
「打擾您休息十分抱歉。」阿特里奇將托盤輕放於床頭櫃上。「王后殿下要我替您送來。」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzbmGj0r62
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEUu8E5eYL
伊德里爾眼底閃過一絲驚訝。她以為在今早的茶會上，自己已經成功瞞過王后殿下連續好幾天徹夜未眠的事情。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRw1lRW0rj
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE2TvRmdVb
不過從白瓷茶杯飄散出來的薰衣草香可知──她失敗了。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cibE7H3El
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcRvpi6QBb
「代我向王后殿下道謝。還有，也謝謝妳。」伊德里爾偏頭，給了阿特里奇一個欣慰的笑容。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw96uK99ZS3
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfqfRmIp8b
阿特里奇頜首，不過卻沒有立即離開的意思，赤瞳仍然直勾勾地盯著伊德里爾。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjOION4LMN
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeJKheOTJ3
「怎麼了？」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR7bY4fYG1
「王后殿下要我親眼看著您把茶喝完。」阿特里奇將茶杯移到伊德里爾面前。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnYjB0uLa8
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12FpFQvcqV
伊德里爾一怔，兩手接過捧起茶杯，一邊噘嘴把熱煙吹散一邊嘟囔「我又不是小孩子……」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1bPRWtbml
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b4Uau5Wp4
鼻子湊近杯緣一聞，草香沿著鼻腔進入，散發著一股沁人心脾的芳香。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOixcX1ie1f
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx45nZHpaGi
緊接著抬高杯緣緩緩飲下，杯中的液體輕輕地從咽喉滑入胃，讓伊德里爾緊繃的神經得以放鬆下來。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZpVXtxNjU
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70qQ7eXRRC
自接過茶杯後，阿特里奇的兩隻眼睛未曾離開過伊德里爾，像是耐心等候飼主下一步動作的小狗。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLt9Lrv0Qi
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu3Z0Cv1YL
伊德里爾把飲盡後的杯底展現給一旁站直的白色大型犬看。「喝完了。」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJiEhEXzlH
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAfwMSdm8u
阿特里奇輕點頭，正想取回茶杯時──225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kOiuY004r
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GBWLAbFnq
轟隆！225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcePkqIprB
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfRullF0GW
又是一聲足以驚天動地的雷響，雨也更大了。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1qbKGeFOF
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ00pHBJ4t
「嗚……」伊德里爾反射性把耳朵再次覆住，嚇得連白瓷茶杯也顧不得。正當要直落地面時，阿特里奇即時接住了。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBt1zC4BpY
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5THVWAUf2g
阿特里奇將茶杯擺回茶碟，立馬問道：「您沒事？」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnru8lhVfr
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mdImndXHI
「我、我沒事……」與她說的話截然不同──伊德里爾緊閉雙眼，肩膀微微顫抖。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcaP7lW5Dg
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HQilWGHqM
「您害怕打雷？」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEih0YATGg
「……才沒有。」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMIF3EhzCN
「您在發抖。」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ9Ju1auIi
「只、只是被嚇到了……！」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKy040eidl
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVHQp7xGEs
出於維持形象以及想要趕緊驅散逐漸上浮的羞恥感，伊德里爾做出了與平常些微不同的應答。只不過阿特里奇不以為意。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeTgcqM8Au
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7WHiNP5mt
「擁有害怕的事物並不需要感到丟臉。」阿特里奇單膝跪地，仰望伊德里爾。「容我多嘴再問一遍，您沒事嗎？」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHmS7cyc8Q
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntHUXNiJxB
伊德里爾撐開眼皮，恰好對上了阿特里奇火紅的雙瞳，彷彿急迫地尋求問題的答案。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvPb4fh7RT
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVejv4zTEwG
「……不。」伊德里爾隱藏在體內深處的字句撬開了唇逃了出來。「我……我很害怕……」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUguWGYue4Z
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJQDaa0gCs
語畢，阿特里奇閉上眼像是在思考什麼，最後一邊說著「失禮了」一邊坐到伊德里爾左側。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgAbptT46B
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWBgdtTCfn
隨後，阿特里奇有些肢體不協調地伸手穿過伊德里爾的腰際，輕輕擁住了她。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa0mB3Sbas
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIS6L7oKXP
「阿、阿特里奇……？」伊德里爾被這一系列的行為給愣住了，一時半會兒不敢輕舉妄動。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWs6TdfBKV
「這是我聽公主殿下說最適合紓解壓力和情緒的方法。」阿特里奇小心翼翼地收回手。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BtRdkpqq8
「這是我第一次這麼做……應該沒有弄痛您才是。」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdZGhOpLp1
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kWtirNR0K
「噗……哈哈……！」伊德里爾掩住嘴笑著，眼角甚至冒出了些許淚水。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS3ajHhq0w
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyYl3wHF7i
「伊德里爾大人？您在笑什麼？」阿特里奇面露疑惑，貌似對於伊德里爾越笑越高興感到不解。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6xcIDuoP8
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRbmraKOfQ
「哈哈……呼──」伊德里爾長舒一口氣，用食指抹去眼淚。「謝謝妳阿特里奇，我感覺好多了。」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI7trxoNBg
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerkAUZpdcF
「能替您消除壓力那當然是最好，那麼我先回房……」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrSdnK96ZB
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLxdrzNa8T
「等等。」伊德里爾握住正要站起的阿特里奇的手。「夜也深了，要不妳今天就在我這裡休息吧？」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMui0DsqTW
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHDLvMc32S
「這個……」阿特里奇感覺被握著的手力道越來越大，而做出此舉的人笑意更深。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu9aBoK94G
「我明白了。不過……」阿特里奇瞥了一眼梳妝台的木製椅子。「我睡在那就夠了。」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH5qZV09l3
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtsnl7JB4I
伊德里爾眉梢下垂，像是一隻惹人憐愛的小貓。「不睡床上嗎？待會可能還有雷聲唷？」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6QRA6IbXE
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwyh9tBAN9
伊德里爾明白現在的狀況就像一位任性的小孩向母親索取想要的東西，只不過扮演母親的角色並不是自己，而是眼前撇頭不肯望向自己的白髮騎士。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP17ege3wr
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45pGwJOxxS
「……您就別胡鬧了。」阿特里奇從伊德里爾的手上脫離掌控，將椅子拉近床邊後坐下。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NRA7GoGNw
而後，阿特里奇又朝伊德里爾伸出右手。「請容我用這種方式代替擁抱陪著您。」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfADrTjntKY
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuCbMcRhTz
「我會待在這裡、待在您身旁，直到您安心入眠為止。」225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDungViKDoA
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyXzD2ovlw
伊德里爾眨了眨眼，並把手掌輕覆於阿特里奇的。挪動身子平躺於床舖，最後闔上雙眼。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNb9u2AOqt
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmGm23D8nz
這份單純而直率的溫柔，任誰都不會想輕易放手的吧。伊德里爾在內心笑了笑。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHlpZeY4Wq
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz8eDPzhAC
那日，是伊德里爾有史以來睡得最安穩的一天。225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq4eJ8dzc0
