閱兵結束後便是騎士受封大典。這次共有十五位在軍、政、學、醫領域表現傑出的候選人，大葆士便是其中一名。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm56LT7YA8
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE8F1lA6Es
大葆士在化妝間整理妝容時，葛柏上尉前來找他。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOFHXvc9wn
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKxEadix5e
「少校，您今天辛苦了！」葛柏上尉愧疚地看著正被化妝師努力拆鬍的大葆士：「我必須為昨晚魯莽的言行跟您道歉！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZTqFGtO29
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNSvG9eZLT
「沒關係。」大葆士笑道。然而他的笑容因為臉頰被拉扯的關係，形成誇張弧度。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0zJAC5Dto
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XxkxI7L0g
「不，我真的很抱歉！您是很偉大的機擬員，我必會用餘生誓死效忠您！」葛柏上尉說完，用力行了一個完美軍禮！346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOPrf8deKF
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkVm9g3E2A
大葆士正要回禮時，一直拔不下來的假鬍突然鬆脫，他就這樣一頭撞上梳妝台！346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkaCG9qfMS
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRbRKkZJUZ
「哎呀！我的歡鴿！」眾人驚叫。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXF41fKq2E
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMg0qBbG4I
受封大典在柏金漢宮主殿──「柏金大堂」舉行。女皇及主要王室成員皆會齊聚一堂，給予受封者祝福。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCDaCDZHEx
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx9CSi3Y2f
大葆士換上正式軍官裝，以真實模樣參與典禮。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaybjErkarp
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTm6q9wP0i
原本戰神殿打算讓大葆士依照宣傳照的形象出席，但美編部和公關部在看到大葆士閱兵的野人樣後，毅然決然放棄了這項決定。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBKp8bM6Od
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5ml9pP5MH
弄巧成拙的失誤，一次就夠了。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD64SRkuLW6
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCxAjzK4eH
大葆士是第一次進入柏金漢宮的主殿，平民無法入內，只有王室貴族和高階政要才能登堂。然而，只要成為王室騎士，日後便可以自由進出主殿，享受最低貴族的待遇。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhY96zjLSO
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJr2Iy7uEu
輪到大葆士進行受封了。他慎重的走上台階，在女皇腳前屈膝跪地。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTkNdR3A2y
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpZFHpsTfM
「機擬員少校大葆士 ‧ 溫頓，吾今日奉歡鴿旨意，冊封汝為荊心騎士。今後汝將不惜一切保衛國土，守護弱者。無畏不懼！無堅不摧！此誓言汝必銘記在心，永誌不忘！」女皇平舉沒有劍尖的長劍，將其按在大葆士的右肩上，祝福道。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTccoW7L3a
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1EygCGhdL
女皇收起長劍，微彎下腰扶起大葆士，布滿皺紋的臉龐帶有無比的暖意。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKFqioPHTB
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3gVxReJfn
「孩子，你今天表現得很好，布列斯托能擁有你是何等的幸運。」女皇看著大葆士輕語，後者臉頰泛起紅暈。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFMQIqf3rG
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZb6PRWQqk
「謝謝您的讚賞，女皇陛下。」大葆士不敢貿然直視女皇，當上騎士是布列斯托平民的夢想。對於 10 歲還躺在髒亂酒瓶堆裡過活的大葆士而言，可從來沒想過自己會有這麼一天。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMlyNM5Oxv
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VUBufcxgO
「不過你好像長得跟剛才不太一樣呢。」女皇露出慈祥帶點慧黠的微笑：「這才是你原本的樣子，對吧？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hycZK7nlz
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb01lSVZ2oJ
「是的，女皇陛下。」大葆士有些尷尬的低下頭。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnl2OHiU2R
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcFJEbQynE
接著是授與騎士胸章的儀式。依照布列斯托王室傳統，每位騎士將由大王子或大公主的子嗣親手別上騎士胸章。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWjcLljxHz
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnOAKIatLK
大王子威卡漢 ‧ 金列斯有三名孩子，這次的授與儀式將由今年滿 20 歲的三公主──艾雀 ‧ 金列斯主持。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYUoCVP3DA
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCQB8ZLhUd
艾雀 ‧ 金列斯三公主為王室著名的可人兒，也被媒體譽為集美麗與感性於一身的文學公主。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r1O6aijlX
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZM06oIfJD
艾雀三公主雖然還是大學生，卻已經出版過不少膾炙人口的愛情文學作品。美麗的她擁有眾多追求者，也因此經歷過幾段戀情。而這些戀情都幻化成她筆下的唯美愛情故事。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd5gJm0hIj
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrW466Ee6o
身著水藍半肩禮服的艾雀公主依序為一字排開的新任騎士們別上胸章。有好幾名男性騎士在對上艾雀公主那水靈靈的大眼時，臉頰同耳根子紅了起來！346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu8FwS3Pwb
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDNBIF53hG
「願歡鴿祝福你。」艾雀公主清澈好聽的嗓音讓騎士們聽得如癡如迷。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMSps5gmb8
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1JokIj4R4
艾雀公主捧著特製胸章盒來到大葆士面前，她看向大葆士，後者眼睛眨也不眨的直視她。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XyhjJKewu
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhGdyCSivw
「……願歡鴿祝福你。」艾雀公主停頓了兩秒，隨後打開盒子，為大葆士別上胸章。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoIalSwiQI
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fkv6x2jS1
別好胸章後，艾雀公主纖長的手指停在大葆士的胸口上，遲遲沒有移動。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jpMmR6eIO
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLVJW23FxZ
「殿下，該輪到下一位了！」一旁侍從小聲提醒，艾雀公主這才回過神！她快速抽回手，尷尬地離開大葆士面前。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisGyV6N3pR
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsoNooxrgT
受封大典結束後便是下午茶會。原本大葆士預計在結束後前往「象牙基地塔」與巴特夫進行交接，但女皇讓人傳訊給他，希望他能留下來與年紀相仿的王子公主們一起喝杯茶。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KFL7KkcsC
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzfAmSbVSm
大葆士來到茶會舉行地點，也就是皇宮後花園。花園由專業花匠精心打造，並聘請園丁隨時照護，別緻景象讓大葆士在花叢前逗留許久。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgfTf8WFza
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzetl4EcMW
「那是『金葉莓』，口感甜甜澀澀的。」大葆士的背後響起清澈女音，大葆士連忙側身彎腰，朝艾雀公主行禮：「艾雀殿下好。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PhQsiruIT
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvvKqk3XPc
「你好，溫頓少校。」艾雀公主露出淺笑：「你對植物有興趣嗎？喜歡的話，不妨摘一個試吃看看，我小時候很常吃的。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGme9yVcTKO
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37puJr5hug
「不用了，謝謝殿下。」大葆士維持行禮姿勢不動。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m1GfDZ6ax
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGIVVhaINL
「沒關係的，啊，你請先站好吧。」艾雀公主伸手摘了一顆顏色最為鮮豔的莓果，遞到大葆士手上：「請用，溫頓少校。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmZ236etIn
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqL5lyqVQ8
「謝謝殿下。」大葆士直起身，接過公主給的莓果。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSr5I2LBl0
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaexw5mtYqQ
「金葉莓的汁液具補血作用，對女性來說是很好的補品。殿下可請御廚幫您熬煮成果茶，飯後飲用。」大葆士說完將莓果放進嘴裡。艾雀公主眨眼。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSqljfcAHL
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lq0qTqmHe
「聽聞少校是高閣醫學大學跳級畢業的高材生，果然是博學多聞！」艾雀公主讚揚道：「溫頓少校，我想邀請你一同到位上喝茶，不知你意下如何？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoufSpJ6x19
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpvAWG8IC3
「那是我的榮幸，殿下。」大葆士再度彎腰。鮮豔莓果其實是過熟的，味道很苦，他心想。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrepn462OES
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6iFjDSFmr
在艾雀公主的邀請下，大葆士來到茶會區。只見穿著精緻的貴族們一派輕鬆的坐在典雅沙發上，邊聊天邊享用美味茶點。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXrPL3P6qc
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7dC7Ssnz9
「溫頓少校，請坐。」艾雀公主讓侍女去準備新鮮茶點，打算與大葆士一起享用。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDEvEwqjuu
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPBAdWXYyX
然而，大葆士卻是站在原處，一動也不動。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn8uNLyTXF
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LrAbL81pk
「溫頓少校？」艾雀公主輕喚道，大葆士盯著眼前享受生活的王室貴族們，瞳孔失去光澤。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoyc4VTFAY
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPu2ypY020
「大葆士？」艾雀公主喊道，大葆士回神，面帶歉色的朝公主行禮道歉。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQoRGYi2cN
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDM5BAUcNM
「不用那麼拘束，其實我們年紀差不多的。」艾雀公主笑道：「以後只有我們兩個的話，你不用對我行禮，說好了。」她小聲補充。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ81JnRaeDh
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW75CNWGYW
「好的，殿下。」大葆士點頭。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcZiYn9xbf
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy59WRDrYjP
侍女提著點心塔和剛泡好的奶茶上桌。大葆士看著裝滿精緻茶點的餐塔，露出笑眼。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQvJCLKe29
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qGsuSqwT1
「少校喜歡吃甜點嗎？」艾雀公主注意到大葆士在笑，於是問道。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArpZU0dfAV
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccojjSPAhl
「Hehe ，不是，只是第一次看到這麼漂亮的食物。」大葆士專注看著塔上的小蛋糕，殊不知艾雀公主正透過餐塔的間隙欣賞他的表情。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkpJH1gBmk
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvGlxTrpq6
「請吃吃看。你喜歡的話，我可以再請御廚準備一份。」公主笑道。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn9dadUQy0

346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq0L0Nyaie
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXSzFfBleP
「請問少校有閱讀文學書籍的習慣嗎？」飲茶過程中，艾雀公主問道。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOdvlz18H3
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaDarhP56E
「有的，閒暇時會看。」大葆士小心翼翼的把蛋糕上的白巧克力片摘下，艾雀公主眨眼。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz31XMJT5hB
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqyiXzbyjj
「那……你都看什麼類型的？情感類的你會看嗎？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q2FLvcaQr
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qNRpF0cap
「多半是哲學，不看情感。」大葆士把巧克力片放進口中，艾雀公主抿嘴。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLHVyYM5Oh
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy8ks1Akld
「希望我這麼問不會冒犯到你。」艾雀公主看著大葆士：「請問少校有情人嗎？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgYlSnbynQ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDqFXUuOU5
大葆士挑眉，公主見狀連忙打圓場。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnIac2cWd1
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyghOnGzRU
「請別誤會，因為你剛才提到很少在看情感作品，所以我才好奇是不是已經有陪伴對象才不感興趣……」艾雀公主伸手撥弄垂在耳際下的髮絲，模樣有些失措。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7noQ4klVw
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT1i9vYHNL
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjC2s9gMEu
「我沒有情人，也認為自己不值得擁有。」大葆士望向遠方若隱若現的鋼鐵牆：「我能做的，就是保護各位與各位的情人，讓大家能安心延續人類的文明。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBYpiea5rq
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R3oS2eYtk
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg81lYrYYPq
「請別這麼說，溫頓少校。」艾雀公主皺起漂亮的濃眉：「我完全不認為你不值得擁有，你在大眾眼裡是相當出眾的男性。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRsKvQpfHw
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlPp086eC7
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhNA7dMeVc
「艾雀姊姊！」公主身後傳來銀鈴般的笑聲，只見一名穿著新潮的亮麗女孩從背後一把環住她的脖子，將頭抵在她的肩頸處笑看坐在對面的大葆士。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZgem3fIFW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbmagyV3QD
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPElA0GdT75
「欸？這位該不會就是那個機擬員少校？」女孩睜大眼打量大葆士：「你的鬍子咧？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC8HaYISoP
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArCcR3QQpG
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpkFQyUWqH
「希文，在貴賓面前這樣太沒禮貌了。」艾雀公主無奈道，她輕搖頸部示意女孩鬆手。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6qStEvsMV
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjNpSqkB0X
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqrBVemu9w
「您好，希文 ‧ 溫莎 ‧ 衛利普公主殿下。」大葆士對這名字有印象，他連忙從位上站起，對溫莎大公爵今年剛滿 18 歲的愛女行禮。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOJP1DvVDN
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumd3wM0f22
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofs31h1d0F
「我太驚訝了！沒想到大葆士 ‧ 溫頓實際上這麼年輕！」希文公主坐到艾雀公主旁邊：「哇！長得還有點可愛欸！」她眼角勾起。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFR5IZLIGh
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn99ie3bhW7
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykJQ86FoSe
「希文，我正在──」艾雀公主話還沒講完，立即被前者打斷！346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl88YI8sSZ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOzEvUiOpD
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa26m6nJJVV
「溫頓少校知道我嗎？有在雜誌上看過我嗎？」希文公主說完站起身，開始在附近走起台步。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa1PZ95GPi
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5rC2YMPVS
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE2aCBup9u
「知道，殿下是模特兒。」大葆士回答，猜謎他可從來沒輸過。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3c4Vrzxvo
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBawV6qxBx2
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUR27yivS3
「哇！好開心喔！」希文公主甩動淡亞麻色的波浪大捲髮：「那你覺得我漂亮嗎？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaVwR8KzkE
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs8VggXzYf
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje5DhdnCVU
「殿下非常漂亮。」大葆士沒有多想的附和。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr0H04rrgn
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws659Sv3kJ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWGe9emQ2b
「真的嗎？可是你從剛才開始就沒有在看我啊！只是一直看著後面的樹！」希文公主說完來到大葆士旁邊，緊挨著他的腳邊蹲下並且仰頭望著他。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaSkL7CUpd
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRQc8uhKcl
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jSgfnWqjW
「不！殿下靠太近了！」大葆士趕緊從椅上離開，一不小心撞上正在送茶的侍女！346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zc1SAk0fe
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtoZfvwqb0
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlbRYljFhQ
名貴茶壺從托盤上飛出，大葆士見狀立即伸出右手！魔方迅速從腕帶蔓延而出，眨眼間便構成一具機械手臂，在茶壺落地前及時接下！346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqMgd0iWex
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQzLq512so
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRbEoagB5C
「哇塞！」看到這幕的王室貴族們不禁放聲驚嘆！侍女連連對著大葆士鞠躬致謝，後者則是趕緊解除魔方。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLXKiA07eH
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iBEdxF0Bv
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pjhbOHi3C
「兩位殿下非常抱歉，時間不早了，我得趕去『象牙基地塔』進行交接。很榮幸有這個機會跟兩位聊天。」大葆士對公主們行完禮後，迅速離開。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgc5GDl5nY
