「哈芙小姐。」「是？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb7oOY4Rxt
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH3QbXbXgV
「妳認為妳那一槍處決不了曼賈・漢生是出自甚麼原因？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpTKVCRlRK
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd0Dhy3wYm
貝吏刻唐殺她一個措手不及，她表現出慌張的樣子：「貝 - 貝吏刻唐輔佐官是來處罰我的嗎？沒 - 沒能將帝國的敵人置於死地是我的罪，但也不用這樣吧？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqs0DSbrC5
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8X84dCZZS
貝吏刻唐喝了一口茶後站起來，雙手放在桌上腰微微傾向哈芙：「一個經過適當訓練的火槍兵也知道要擊中人的四肢比擊中身體困難許多，更不要說是從那麼遠的距離射擊。哈芙小姐既然可以射中他的左手，理應可以直接擊殺他的，我有誤會嗎？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDOG81hiFx
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqUdejrKFy
「貝吏刻唐輔佐官是在說我利用那一擊提醒他狙擊槍有多危險，讓他不要再到皇宮送死嗎？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2QJZ7sPg5
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRliHP7y7o
「我可沒有這樣說。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTliU26Q5u3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnzDvDayHD
「枉我如此信任貝吏刻唐輔佐官，貝吏刻唐輔佐官言下之意是我是巴烏卡派來的細作嗎？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBBS39l34N
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaFftAIIUW
「我再說一次，我沒有這樣說。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bnza9HQEF
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLpL5GIyYk
哈芙憤怒地與貝吏刻唐對質：「那貝吏刻唐輔佐官為甚麼會認為我故意射失？貝吏刻唐輔佐官是開發狙擊步槍的一員吧？貝吏刻唐輔佐官應該知道那東西要打中一個快速移動中的目標有多困難吧？然而貝吏刻唐輔佐官想以此為藉口說我是反賊？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XxmwPpB6w
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy0gEbBPFe
「那麼哈芙小姐認為自己下次有沒有把握？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmTvcSIh03
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLFTbNVprT
哈芙瞪著貝吏刻唐喘了幾口氣冷靜自己：「怎會有......」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirJYiAQiAF
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDIhnM2VIL
「她對我說她是叛徒一事很大反應只有兩個可能，一是她對女皇陛下完全忠心，二是她心虛了。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4WjR3yOX4
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1YkCUHJvA
貝吏刻唐坐下：「抱歉，哈芙小姐，我居然會懷疑你。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ykYtHPvOI
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbNYfo8rIr
「貝吏刻唐輔佐官，我真的有點生氣。貝吏刻唐輔佐官又不是不知道目前帝國內部依然暗潮洶湧，實在不應該再胡亂指責我們。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QbNeK68L9
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX5hCTdWFb
「我表達最深切的歉意。」貝吏刻唐點頭。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQjHIyHmyx
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHF8KCogX4
「貝吏刻唐輔佐官今天過來找我這件事，女皇陛下知道嗎？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhSGW3hUTc
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtC0JP6aBt
「為甚麼她會提到女皇陛下？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA073IQKKsg
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdaF5mw6u2
哈芙繼續說：「如果女皇陛下知道貝吏刻唐輔佐官私自過來找我說三道四，女皇陛下應該會動怒吧？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkfP4Qzkf6
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MSsxbyuDo
「哈芙小姐言之有理。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe0inlBdL1
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99eHHHfkD6
「所以呢？女皇陛下知道嗎？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1kN2bu1kx
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlZ1rPsPrS
「為甚麼她要乘機反攻我？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9IMInc9Lt
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOHcpeuxDu
「想不到那麼努力，竟然會被貝吏刻唐輔佐官質疑是細作，誰也會生氣吧？貝吏刻唐輔佐官也太無禮了！」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWIBbON3OV
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hmMiP94Gc
「不再說甚麼的話，我就完全失勢了。」
「好，我和哈芙小姐一起去見女皇陛下，哈芙小姐當著女皇陛下的面投訴我就能消氣了吧？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gI07g7P6u
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tYpigHemP
「沒錯。」哈芙交叉雙手。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsJU2ghCdM
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxNtYYSa3O
貝吏刻唐和哈芙來到沙卡美處理政務的房間門前，房間前是一條狹窄、用紅金地毯鋪墊的走廊。褐色牆上掛了不同畫作和燭燈。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc13jCkjxw
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyom1Gevd7a
貝吏刻唐敲門，「是誰？」沙卡美的聲音從裏面傳出。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBGODISExm
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXcuqjsSt4
哈芙不滿地站在貝吏刻唐背後。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCgktG0Fu8
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZJMnfkbGp
「女皇陛下，我是貝吏刻唐。哈芙小姐有點事想和女皇陛下商討。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNB8z6ZIww
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWRD19p788
哈芙用一個「商討這種字眼顯得你想逃避責任」的眼神看著貝吏刻唐。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd6DNG4w7Q
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2iyjmsqvA
「進來吧。」「遵命。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCCYtpXU0U
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YaQCEMGnX
貝吏刻唐推開門，沙卡美正坐在椅上、拿著羽毛筆、帶些許煩厭的眼神閱讀放在桌上的文件，握筆的手猶疑該寫甚麼。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu4cmx4ShW
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaE25evPuE
桌上還有幾堆差點擋住沙卡美的文件，沙卡美後面是一個大得可以俯瞰整個帝都的窗戶，陽光從窗戶照進來，整個房間也因此非常明亮。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrBaIdM5xz
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolLSCdhTi5
右邊是一座火爐，火爐旁，正中央的牆上掛了一幅抽繪小時候的沙卡美神情天真地雙手放在父王腹上看著他，父王右手執權杖、左手輕撫沙卡美的頭、臉容嚴肅地看著前方的畫作。房間中心是左右圍著木桌的兩張沙發，木桌上放了茶壺和四個茶杯，房間左側則是放了不同典籍和文件的書櫃。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzDUSP2ZZs
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoYMrYsFhj
「哈芙，找朕有甚麼事？」沙卡美終於下定決心在文件上寫下應該寫上的字。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuKuuTT4QE
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl79BONwnA
「女皇陛下！貝吏刻唐輔佐官剛才跑到我房間來問一堆關於女皇陛下的問題，還指控我是巴烏卡的臥底！」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs254SbqoWE
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K1EcS8t4N
沙卡美放另一張文件到面前：「貝弟弟，這是怎麼一回事？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxXki3ALAi
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsk6vYBTTR
「稟陛下，我只是懷疑哈芙小姐在數日前抵禦曼賈・漢生的攻擊時，故意擦傷曼賈・漢生的左臂以提醒他魔法部隊的威力。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6g8faBsd8
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZlLNCnVRg
沙卡美放下羽毛筆看著貝吏刻唐：「貝弟弟，你是笨蛋嗎？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWbWPM5pM4
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA1p3rE58S
貝吏刻唐單膝跪地：「我已經準備好受罰，請女皇陛下降罪。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGAsEljCcY
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS0PYBsiOS
「貝弟弟，你明明知道目前帝國的處境有多危險，卻暪住朕找哈芙，還懷疑她是巴烏卡的細作？這會在官員之間建立不信任的氣氛，帝國就更難復原。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnyp6o9r60
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb4fjsqH6U
「請女皇陛下降罪。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJk3YR5NIZ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8zUIjDtw4
「哈芙，妳想他做甚麼？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKcSmIy7Wv
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgv0s0UlEf
「讓我想一下......我剛好有封信要送給一位朋友，如果貝吏刻唐輔佐官可以幫我送信，我就不計較。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQv1KCtkS8
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB2fAme02Y
「貝弟弟？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl8e7DFBaR
「明白。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedDYgPdUPU
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWluWakOAYQ
「女皇陛下，我先回房間拿信。」哈芙行禮後離開房間。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rgGdBo0IT
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4sxUthVmU
沙卡美待哈芙走遠後才發話：「貝弟弟，朕認為哈芙不會是那個細作。她跟過利華特去加奧里的基地，如果她是巴烏卡的人，加奧里早就淪陷了。她只是真的很氣你懷疑她。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHyRJR2ZnG
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIq3F8RUHS
「女皇陛下，也許她只是想等到萬無一失的時機再出手。話說回來，女皇陛下，那個細作也不一定是巴烏卡的人。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhJISk0ndi
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu3b0obdWA
「朕只有想到這個可能而已。曼賈・漢生不知道朕躲在密室裏就證明你和小娜是清白的。朕這一年多來沒有再分享機密給暗影守衛團就是因為朕認為他們不再可信。他們只是父王留給朕的遺產，朕不用也可。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2N781ATbZ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmeqgW6mBc
「女皇陛下真的那麼相信我和小娜嗎？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDpC7NyZDe
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoykprpUYq
「貝弟弟，朕聽過你問類似的問題很多次了，你一直質疑自己和妹妹不值得朕寵愛，還以為是幻想。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRF6872Kef
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTN0t53kXX
「因為實在太不真實了，不論過多久我都會質疑。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAPrFzSNwx
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG8iJq03Ic
「如果你像小娜一樣接受的話有多好......」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1qOzpCiIA
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIibgnAE8j4
「我的使命就是保護小娜，要為她考慮多點。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WIVODpnjq
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLJka0khbU
「朕知道了。等哈芙回來再說。」沙卡美繼續埋頭處理政務。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7H3VEmtdx
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsjpGJ8Ahz
實際上，沙卡美自幾天前便讓貝吏刻唐自由調查，一個人應付政務。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX5oE5ZaTO
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T9v2n1gUM
雖說向巴烏卡宣戰，但帝國並沒有進入戰時狀態。畢竟巴烏卡不是一個國家，僅是一個組織。除了各地開始募兵、軍隊長期準備隨時開戰、不斷生產兵器外一切如常。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfFPCKiSZq
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR8FjgML3J
當然，有些國家也決定拒絕人民入境帝國，復興商業區的計劃進度緩慢但順暢地實行中。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6o1ZzLJUj
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQlUysQmNJ
沙卡美也透過報紙宣布自己回歸的消息，亦表示不希望再大量聚集人羣釀成悲劇。她在報紙上表達出自己最深切的愧疚，並呼籲人民匯報任何可疑狀况。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizdSLLwMp9
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SMCXNIyBb
人民對沙卡美躲藏的消息意見兩極，有些人認為她牽連到他國平民不可饒恕，紛紛到他國宣揚沙卡美的罪惡。有些人則認為她這樣做是沒辦法中的辦法，帝國人應該矛頭指向巴烏卡，不應該再為沙卡美添加壓力。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVLFH4v6y5
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3qxG12BrU
因此，帝國國境這幾天極度擠迫，大量人想離開帝國，又有大量人到帝國尋找機會。沙卡美加派人手疏散人流，人龍依然從帝國城牆延伸到另一座城。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M2qAfgsBT
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGoMPT4Rdn
巴烏卡沒有利用這個情況行動，也許是怕出師無名，也許單純是因為曼賈・漢生主張「不殺無辜的人」，他們沒有乘機製造更多混亂。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBGU1mX68y
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4wDh5gg65
不管如何，皇宮裏的每個人都很忙。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL3Hg9ydzd
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IledAWiUO
哈芙回來敲門：「女皇陛下，是哈芙。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgq34Gpeyd
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyqIHMZFLn
剛處理完一半文件的沙卡美不勞煩地說：「進來。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGtbt2JLiY
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpn4j0VHWP
貝吏刻唐站在沙卡美右後方欣賞些微恢復生氣的街道。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvWxKcNNXA
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXOSuLG5Ei
哈芙拿著信進來：「打擾了，女皇陛下。請貝吏刻唐輔佐官幫我把信送到信封上的地址。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zDPpsVQmR
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDr3U2fUsp
「貝弟弟，朕剛才怎麼不記得叫你幫忙？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa81nffQJjc
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mQeH18naG
貝吏刻唐尷尬地回應：「女皇陛下一定又是太累了，要不要找小娜聊聊？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePHA5Ys0Rz
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFpHVvyL2A
「也好，但等朕處理完面前這堆東西再說。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmtrkVUoMt
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9QbIfq9ij
哈芙補充：「請貝吏刻唐輔佐官絕對不要打開信。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P82LUMy16
