另一方面，沙卡美不知為何回到過去，回到她十歲左右的時光。她綁著馬尾，穿著橙黃色舞裙在人來人往的宴會中穿梭。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJbY8gHtpY
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5dCbO9Gzo
宴會裏聚集了許多名門貴族，他們受國王邀請大吃大喝，心裏都怕酒裏下了毒。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHkwFLaIqu
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRmdBqmfpw
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYMwCJQ3Cc
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4x2R3BhNe
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4qbjZPv3L
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5qle9Tw10
圍著放滿佳餚圓桌，臉看不清的老人轉身看著沙卡美：「哎喲！這不是沙卡美公主嗎？公主殿下要去哪裏？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TcZhdunT0
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasQbTr4LdL
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyc3LkVufI
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBhhNUBfGC
正當沙卡美想問老人有沒有頭緒時，一隻粗糙的手放在她肩膀上。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8mHStMZQq
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGICfs5m3p
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAlNDoNPtj
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5vQXLO1cY
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm43rvPFMC2
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MMmE0t1vS
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2IYobmN7Q
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTYfgrk3X6
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVfeyQYvb2
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlcOeBLPdV
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktvjbenPyB
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSu2b0Uv4i
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURzUU25ZEg
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrpkmGYp6k
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt3LFOaVRW
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs70k9zTBh2
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhFXRE6EbL
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoh9xdrBfD
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPNaQRXNp3
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic5AnW6yrq
「不是叫妳不必多言嗎？」國王走出王宮陽台：「我的女兒啊，那裏的人都不是真心尊敬我和妳，他們只是怕得罪我而人頭落地。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS2uxP61pj
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6C88aWj5P
陽台外的景色被一層白霧擋住，沙卡美也看不見父王的雙眼。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwE8HRh8DM
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiscL3z9s1D
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2pPUQHmS9
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGrfSMUYY3
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmZo40afsg
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhFXIKm8nB
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZFzGl66Jf
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLJUzZCb74
貝吏刻唐在床邊觀察她微苦的臉龐，有點於心不忍。
但為了不打擾沙卡美休息，他背靠牆邊靜候沙卡美醒來。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAWPdj4VCz
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHD4WPRe6X
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oN43lh4gn
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULnCgPIFBV
沙卡美自己也覺得很矛盾，明明想人民生活美滿，卻一直包庇無惡不作的父王，父王駕崩後又困在陰霾當中。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIVwTuWhdY
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8A3LDnICX
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDDrwnZP5S
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD3YTZcJCQ
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrfVQisFyG
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ42jJDcnu
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBHfPPCZ6z
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b55wUAu80
「沒錯。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOznehkL61e
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3iK0Xs5Ur
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYa65aXGxz
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE5k1ZBeNc
「遵命，女皇陛下。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ86eTS2X9
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S8jbfsP23
貝吏刻唐和小娜都不明白為何沙卡美會被「某種東西」佔據，仍然能正常運用魔力。黑色魔力明明會令人神智崩潰，但沙卡美除了行事作風改變外都很正常。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WUKIDcIFo
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwroBPSdtMg
感覺女皇不再是公主的貝吏刻唐，待沙卡美梳洗後伴隨她到飯廳。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLp52DaTyy
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM7BE53imL
皇宮裏的官員、僕人等等昨天已知悉女皇被尋獲的消息，昨天在外冒雨拜訪人民的士兵和軍官們可能有私下跟平民們說。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGHCdWRABN
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z4v8wyoLW
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PFcgQQ28e
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44vhuLarXB
「雞胸肉、麵包、蘋果和牛奶，朕很久也沒有吃過如此豐富的早膳了。」沙卡美拿起刀叉。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSgOg36kdn
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu5tfDl5vm
貝吏刻唐坐在她對面一起用膳，雖說食不言是基本禮儀，但貝吏刻唐有些話想問沙卡美。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlDVkrDULn
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7MYAosVhM
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1lc5yktIt
剛要喝口牛奶的沙卡美聽見他發問，溫和地收手：「貝弟弟，早膳時間不應該說話。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsfXjWO9os
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3foD9R9xf
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZQC886WDR
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqaPDXceLB
「甚麼事？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlptLEVy4k
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnHDTXgXOY
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLreBkOPROk
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HaEqiHwEA
沙卡美揮手示意女僕和守衛離開，待房間只剩他和貝吏刻唐後回應：「貝弟弟想問的是朕想暪著所有人做甚麼吧？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Fm8AoaCR
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysitbl0RXK
「女皇陛下英明。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFpDozRSLg
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWNFiF2WQq
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyqGH9LMsu
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlZrOYLmpK
「細作？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Q3jFz4Dr
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iBDLDZzjW
「沒錯。約一年半前，朕去山多牧場時不是被伏擊了嗎？朕問過斯斯，她說那羣刺客的確是聯邦派遣的，但得知朕會在那個時候經過該處的情報來源不明。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvssSjcsWI
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc3hY1etQ4
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTwWZknYs5
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQByPeZeib
「當時朕還在學如何當一個好皇帝，沒有時間處理，朕只告訴了利華特。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrtyNRmWkx
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxBmxla4SM
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHexwg9QYEA
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztnAvVfZo8
沙卡美舉起杯喝了一口牛奶：「朕去山多牧場一事朕只有向數個人說過，他們都跟隨朕一段時間，甚麼時候處理都已經太遲。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCkJ5RSQ3T
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDci9FWO4O
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CVosbZq79
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMX1Ix7ET8
「塔瑪、歐法、迪斯普、哈芙、小娜、利華特、我。」具吏刻唐慎重地說出這七個名字。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0MPMRJ13B
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBAbsffZxq
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xNh0ygBRp
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vKstOPHAi
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSTcWV4LHl
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzAZnN44fh
「不是。雖然你們是當時唯二不在場的人，你們也不會蠢到背叛朕。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKY6698JbC
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0vHoaUsYJ
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAnDga4ev5
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidAIt6nyyW
「暗影守衛團的四人。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv866LMPhdw
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwykhrC9bG8
「利華特呢？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXafJUWX8y
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37na71FbEn
「利華特沒有背叛朕的理由。他是異世界人，當時的他怎會認為與帝國為敵是好選擇？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXUz5PZmok
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp06Lso1oH
「明白。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbSzi3x2kg
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVSh8JEUkN
「因此，貝弟弟，朕希望你去找他們談談，政務朕會自行處理。找出細作後就地處決。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXaoLAL99I
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXBgoUXzsR
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJgc9x2PVF
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMUveGPeSQ
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdKSuNSJgl
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzICjGWDlZ7
「不用審問嗎？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwtLI089To
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHBuufIedA
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvfvmeS8Sa
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTckljca56
「不是。我只是擔心如此強硬的手法會在那時候遭到另外三人強烈反對，他們現在都有魔力。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqJoHGHlU2
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8cxFxyS8c
「他們現在也殺不了朕，所以朕現在才想找出叛國賊。貝弟弟，這個任務不要跟小娜說。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiowv5xgsIK
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN5Zxu7VgT
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx9xQB8yEy
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvJsexLLy5
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2CBNJf7DV
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzr7snRPFW
「遵命。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdViPSmaZJ
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNMUnjU0cn
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D0euPuWaS
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnLfxxr51B
「為甚麼？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2wvAlLCME
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aGFdBeLOp
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtqw6Vm2c2
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwQGvwnRHL
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldfCBSSAVn
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaEAywlYL3
先前因曼賈襲擊造成的損害已經由小娜用魔法修補，大臣們都能站在兩旁等候上奏。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3ugOvvT44
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhxRga9o9P
大臣們都用恐懼的眼神看著沙卡美，他們總覺得她與「失蹤」之前是截然不同的人。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoGFMOD9Yf
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayaELysr2B
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWkLQyAQr8
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ0twxzmG1
一位站在最前列，年邁的大臣走到台階前方彎腰：「女皇陛下，小人先抒發自己對女重陛下歸來的欣喜。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8jWhqO3Hg
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDgk6lGVlD
「之後呢？」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzXjvBW9ck
280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KVpnvElxi
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzobUtXzVnr
