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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvOxCPt1gK
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UonMNQSE6
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPoB7XDSID
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL8PuiGPZX
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw23aYxTQy9
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWEXpIe6e3
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwea8VMEuNr
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirrsIJVudx
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？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4We032u9E3
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDAQ6iFZ1L
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUFIePiXaO
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1QSfXPv6X
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4AouFQuRc
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYZubAVrRF
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa767lYCkU4
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlSREV14yT
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NS3lCEoKM
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeHDkFUm3M
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIIeuGTNBM
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgV2aM9oyc
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI6ZKZm74U
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mau4WbjKu
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKNJ4DI2Fc
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsIdtwi50k
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF8VvJH6rA
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NltE7fYcb
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI60tLZ3PM
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVutNhmj0UB
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZC2orEUYv
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvLavlFUPC
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJnzYbnmwe
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMWPdBxBWa
「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。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU1ReFTd0A
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHs4BYrQAr
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloDatylmxs
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRJNmZaUAK
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5orVOX0SVr
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwlNcxKSbe
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimovvaGDJA
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNISlGcaqTV
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgxELAmlm4
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXKNW5TSKP
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWg2DhCX18
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf0zQnyEys
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf8SeXFzyh
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iwoKTJp3y
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9axqqMkMK9
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDDhsgNdIa
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleShkH4IYU
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAvzjh6jMT
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g7MZumTYc
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccpNNPAQ6P
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdksGdOIbmI
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGDGrWkime
「沒錯。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan7KR051vE
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAylU8d1Ai
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y9pYZuA0T
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u3JDZsWyC
「遵命，女皇陛下。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0czPdFxpyW
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P7PD3z0Hw
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2XqL7NZcr
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE4zdWFp89
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPvDlQxHZ8
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrN8VyFXiT
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg1PiBQfHI
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFOBaWnA9V
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7KfmS5qKE
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyekiU0XHE4
「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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98Rmuq7SdA
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF4pEKIslL
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS98JpuaXt
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTcydMxFLw
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3ahBM0aeD
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。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfZFPqLc23
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOLKY0P4u5
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GEPhN73Y8
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2ERuVzSts
「甚麼事？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAE1Y2dWA7
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWjWEOjYfX
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1U4kOgQdP
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UmPQmTH7M
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？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB68LWFZVL7
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd59aCqZFHP
「女皇陛下英明。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtUYRMmJlv
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnTayZgHTn
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ShQ5eKG5
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjZdlmoI1i
「細作？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazcV3HOv9x
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDViCqLTXz
「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。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCnligAtKo
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQp0eOH40M
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUNT94SuRW
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm6DJtZvNI
「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。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMkold1vaY
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswCvUQEeI7
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHegP2KXyb6
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBXvBARCLR
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。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQyXHga97t
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90TJHHJNJe
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2tU2FzuJB
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6iN8T3H0Z
「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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TDt1q0PAV
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBNKN0JqCA
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ggKYbLguZ
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3nuNa7zsg
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqebrCOTDz
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5qKufu0Uc
「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。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsDpLTIH64
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WQOGFdiH5
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33sdxPXTro
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeKaTWNpAE
「暗影守衛團的四人。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhD3i7KcDX
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA4zpJcI7E
「利華特呢？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdggkdGXorC
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgEEZBRa3H
「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？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGaRuD9iGI
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HQGqll3Pf
「明白。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcCHjayAHP
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKnBYjFoyV
「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。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67c0ppR86m
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YVnOiU0SW
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLohvVkwMz
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGKYe5hRbU
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a1NOLJGOj
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAESK03MCOt
「不用審問嗎？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs97P1PYbl3
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpqKc0Kvu6
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1tlCoccVl
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqlT1ELxLT
「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。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7cbmYbpUP
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0vioDpmNx
「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。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEVUSueNgX
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPGbB0SQVu
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnso2MUPf9Z
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEhcbQOHSY
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcRtRXVZzk
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ssACF0u3L
「遵命。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOAqbVfYqQ
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuPWrhAVZY
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLOZ82BBUo
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHdh6Ewxfp
「為甚麼？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTnYPrFcAF
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPqpWgPbc4
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j2RNC2d11
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE2HAOtPoA
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv60nMOWWzi
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWa85xt66o
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZY3BQHpDO
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq3iHzarQN
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。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHbLVS2QKa
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg1Lh9PzjI
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u3akH3Mmi
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3QCPgrmE8
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。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDY1YA0A7e
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshti64hSPU
「之後呢？」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BaNXWfI0W
245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP0msqzWe5
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRKPqtsusB
