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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuOQWWSlDs
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iFPJA6dA3
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheAyyWEuuS
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbQEjbmVVW
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWVwTN2OMk
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jxAIMz6IM
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuHQxTp5hA
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5JCXSNLvt
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？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLFMRI7reJ
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL4y5PaRpc
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z0LUCuEDN
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh2XedhZ4n
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJO8lSE2i5
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZhyGjC0is
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsIrThyoQI
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDOAr4gXJn
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUQHvAYPbY
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ6iSw8MOV
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gBIvfJvDC
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ430WBlPxP
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wlXBxcc8J
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkmH9aMIyl
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ844Hqzf4rz
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyitJobZWSP
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozqmK33kYu
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnBPoWsGTO
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNQ6ubSKr3
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvcZnn7sMm
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhqwtLtCZg
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFpHLFVEWS
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhWcuVvolZ
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1ytBPjs0Z
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TYtLXLQYT
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSlQq5qooL
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlecLBC7JwY
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9lIER7X88
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmgz5ulTbR
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vWhmjtDwx
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XhHEaD9mq
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx894q79A2z
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ufq4iCUAY
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPWrsRcsjB
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX1voU8YnZ
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBYH84xAlb
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK6ZobqJyc
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgVKIWgb54
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLRki6axSy
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHUv4H42dL
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5kPMZU7jB
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LpZuryIlu
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7tAssQYcI
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoDWFLg3n9
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOe9WKHI7h
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6l4H4FAKz
「沒錯。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScR5Z5HiC6
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTzck38GR9
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRlWt6tc7A
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgc7baVTZp
「遵命，女皇陛下。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbaVuOvy8S
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3ZTfpiP0Y
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSVGBU5Stt
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy1lFcvkSK
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDjvbzVfWo
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1uxUaXVxu
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IH5qBBuqe
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR6cIKJx6r
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxmYxudnhR
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnWsL6CQg8
「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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShJcvPpUUz
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCJbycrYzC
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2yMl9OBHx
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ja0x6VaSf
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIIVt9k76e
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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRKUT0aDQl
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBoQceRfdm
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjfHw5FlEU
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUmFzXVenh
「甚麼事？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwolD3Q0uU5
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ524xDSAMRh
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV08e2L2OP
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBv8r7BaOT
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？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhgc3bGHQ3
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7geoW0AvU
「女皇陛下英明。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv4fZ5zKCn
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rfASFOICg
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7t1mGTvf3
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U8bhQZte3
「細作？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiZl25b6bQ
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbxcSETB4J
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktW3b4jAnJ
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG9rt52H1u
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7FzeD9AIg
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP1xGJ4yvi
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tfKozn4Vn
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYBYmToJuq
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbZFFBw0j5
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0lDeaQ3Pn
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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8FSHEfC3q
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78d2NWZ4Zr
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN81hzAKzWf
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJMKKctLxp
「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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSGcUgXTaJ
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOJrnedEfk
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODMfT5jQJK
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmRad6Q38F
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPMlZGiqER
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXXmfgf37Z
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SuxXqvPP5
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEOhM62APC
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ359oM1KksM
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWqsz5E5KJ
「暗影守衛團的四人。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiY17Q0IWH
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqteaqVpbE
「利華特呢？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NUyO8ejzW
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVxmvh1vpF
「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？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTxv4HxGCt
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD6LMT72l4
「明白。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5515i8Fe2U
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzwkt4ATNP
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJGrSRfjPO
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzNwlPWjXa
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd3l0Ki0hg
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYjvQKRJV8
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp1PzsT0cw
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfVGWIXAwG
「不用審問嗎？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwnliiPQ7m
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoJadMtQ57
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqCzQ0DBIo
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHg0vgcgIg
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GOFtyzm7H
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXRtQg9aAT
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj96fYU8mA
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8JQPaLHYx
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU84SEJFzw
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv52Exg71s
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY7T78VnTs
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo587XRFsV9
「遵命。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchGP8Uo6Ax
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhixGE8LSi3
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LyTzIN9OE
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KMZSdcW3b
「為甚麼？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhcPWh1Oqz
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ01UvLlxa
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6pXeYIU94
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHLT3V6VrG
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06jDRNqfGp
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZqHTAgk2c
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu2rPg8kBm
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOLCUIatnS
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoORyEjUfrw
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrBKljjomf
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96WDgmho8M
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasIe9MKAUL
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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGQNaqx5tX
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMzNn8TZCM
「之後呢？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfW5K2MuY8
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpyJwpP0sq
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF5eQqzpG3
