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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP6PYYOPlk
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOKpmS7QAK
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVoBN05xgz
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFXNbZr3so
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQKqYWYEQJ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD0t3UHrJ4
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVzwpA9kpX
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64w1zMrJbx
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？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUXygqrMUh
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQgXIY7ZLX
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuPb1NN7Rl
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPBBClQeg0
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PiMWnEnEb
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznGtgnMXgy
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2OIgPyg8E
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedFziU8chy
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzD7ajurKV
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOgwrFVgfc
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4wv7f2wpA
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GO8Ba8U5N
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CBCHLfvBn
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc9Jfngern
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxHkWJzbST
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tH2Oddq2n
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUfO46xPhY
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2kq1b9Mue
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMIcnK6Pil
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeukduuoT0
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN72WHvqDpE
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcsIya8VUu
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA04ZiMYMap
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKD81apquZ
「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。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD2Dorr3h9
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR8H4QszBc
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVBDssh6wH
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemQa3VAVvx
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWEwrMn6E4
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabZyLhNX3U
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOd0fobkh1
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIokMMuVJUN
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BkV3ZnG7J
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVv84UHIZU
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3gs06Lyji
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ap1rQRKBV
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaE3D1vhiP
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1LSJNzvsC
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg2NIWn6Sv
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr0P34Xj7w
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeMckOcNfK
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULHkYyhdfN
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OQm0bfU1N
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQiO5iUD38
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtYNNOT2lS
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbidTjKYTX
「沒錯。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeWlpVgTtT
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V3Fy0f5P6
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6qnGRH6Ev
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzmrffrLeE
「遵命，女皇陛下。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03p74JmT40
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNn8DIuYp1
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk257A0JNV
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsatdVragQ
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyvIKW6Izg
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgPw7qfuUD
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutKDb77FEI
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzHjsUgDnp
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrvGYwMEnM
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1qTrUUWZl
「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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFYVj1PXzF
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh6I2qyzzy
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KEjoWnOe7
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIdJY1bCap
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegLzNYFTy2
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。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTDIBq0oW4
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Kt8GtrAi
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeggQytPq2R
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyrSczBib6
「甚麼事？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFywMk5ydU
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUUEGwr83M
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR6Ufa6yja
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf3Cq0QGcQ
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？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI90kwIQiN
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnja3qQlVS
「女皇陛下英明。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM44Pzz9uQ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKVkKI55Bs
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcRItv8pZB
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yHxGPhXzY
「細作？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzKYbANW90
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjbMEUwH7z
「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。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1eXv2kS83
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtvqfCblCq
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv1PsJGY5t
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSblz6VKSpt
「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。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgCN0Qq3qs
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkU1cQf5u9
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxGWRQxRQv
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cfjRvPSK0
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。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu5WQw8rKZ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQDzhV2XyR
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJNvCvOhab
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y8p8vJD6x
「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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLVbaakAcc
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqlEfiP2Q5
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjnJNHAYp7
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP2GWDEMqk
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGujMKPmJ2
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNapiykmQb2
「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。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kPzOaS7zZ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bLPQRkYhE
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGehiazC0DJ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyvGuDRWiJ
「暗影守衛團的四人。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESytcUg3Wn
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoqNUujKco
「利華特呢？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb4OveLC6y
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPWlhKdwkK
「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？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2lfsnY8Hv
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyozg1f1vn
「明白。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN0Rxz2OUT
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigFoEPd6Cb
「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。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsEqUAaujq
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7GIhJffpr
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqscOdezBF
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE2F078rzf
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UzjguAZVW
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z4mK6qlqb
「不用審問嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD7Z1fQrzE
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzdfBrDQ1M
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDySFrOFF2p
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAGDWftI8h
「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。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLytqtbkKo
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kX2HNNZXq
「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。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOZpPAPzgD
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcoIpkEmG0
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupEZtEeOka
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJdmvGTQO0
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQByVzXIRU
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2YSpEiI3H
「遵命。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrqbswMQvg
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedh71XSY1X
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1qdJ3bTnl
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtmSlpHrrC
「為甚麼？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5vkAlpKZQ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbh3dRz4wL
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsBIU0A900
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNkiy3Ro5d
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhpAEB7vY7
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz1vGtoi0T
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hRpbJvElv
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiDV8iJ2KI
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。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUof9rFoMlK
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtyS1K9aad
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1doVSl5Bu
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmzPjwXnBy
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。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOejuntNkz
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9EygsJIpc
「之後呢？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOBiPeF4cI
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQKIzE6YxP
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk00hI9jXYk
