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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JyebOPsA1
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LUbUcCmuf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pIW0FwhF8
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvuwsTuqIi
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIssS6dXbga
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuK7DjLtEo
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbxcHyVwNY
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjob9nTvnW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUQaD1Io5b
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1jwL5Fx7n
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd2t4oHYvz
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYvk0GRDmA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxfESqinoe
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzaq2j9YVX
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVCIVKjevE
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspMfOlq7u2
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVfPb6jLYl
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRdLKU8AY8
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPxwuWBuKh
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY5b364ZQs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf14MUOqsk
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeqkI4U7RE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReeDmzHvI2
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoU1S7DhtD
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFhaHcdm1c
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVBTRHidYN
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzUP21itt3
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUYnkBmTWK
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXlj00B8iO
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wVEH7xtf1
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoHe0I8GH3
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYHYpCA3cr
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvHnUzI9da
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfofYx8flgs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQYyhYk85X
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu2RNBdBKD
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g9i4LDbWY
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaSZrkADKa
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr9EHDjjsF
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNGk5VBvId
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJdHVv8ZB3
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkW9hk0H1B
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pN4EAa2cL
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrURwOEXU03
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty6EkcZhqH
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpACq4YOTg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Vkd1HDlB
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUGFno2Tac
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1gKsRMSUT
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXUmuQirx3
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T7R2slJBc
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVBNqJO6wW
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sMXdrGMxu
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotiIVuPFLV
「沒錯。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3HjdXKvGX
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEuYTwM4Uy
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxMqlF6QKX
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn7CXEkb1o
「遵命，女皇陛下。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eJXJow1c1
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDeJhsWGV9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5coUUKpK7e
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmom7AM3Pj
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLweSapgWEm
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4CCZsq5r1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VcvKyK2zc
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlJtEi3GFG
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQitJhcDm3H
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFU56UOI6X
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSu4jcCYOG
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfn24bFeMS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYpFKtmlvT
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBhZz7vJJh
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFBmsODIAh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblYKcZMBri
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM1jitLvgb
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj1U3JVn23
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uvd1K6kaC
「甚麼事？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0rVuRsCcr
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtDxcOBXPV
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf22ZHc3XDC
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29rbkl1cVO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NOSqMNhGO
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOsSwtnqdS
「女皇陛下英明。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JFV64yZkG
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qo8ftccMh
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nYzPncjtj
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg5vPB0F5q
「細作？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziEBBOolWU
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUplO05Wef4
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpNlGJVwut
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD86X70uCA
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYNKpwr3Qx
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3m4Q2Qh9i
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbmoko7Vgp
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMH1DuabVC
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncHzsvkdUF
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLvzD3pgRz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmUTtsiaHj
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmLcy1xN0T
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUceQSK1Upr
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt00TLl7rBI
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg85qRiqYa
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLv5zJEcfn
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8OdwuVHP2
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcucLYC7SEO
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNnMOmHeB3
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eaf9qfhvn
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNfXs8gQYt
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WLI0sE639
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfmF3kk7qi
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlouj1R53xS
「暗影守衛團的四人。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWOVXBuI7N
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRD1QdFiiG
「利華特呢？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCspVk8DOAl
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu2UKyrNNr
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd4u7bLX6M
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYkoPtPCHj
「明白。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxn0hAdHEk
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEr6526ndl
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42fV5w2MOu
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4nef1yRuX
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T1a75jer9
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc65HadALZ
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFCznnfupd
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2ppFumeVY
「不用審問嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySkmOcoboa
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJRN1D7ma2
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxJ97Loa87
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPi3tqHlLi
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QMMTRkU1k
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PrCeH1XS4
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94vLiZIVGJ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65DiJRnvOX
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwVmbpNfJF
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rSDWYRdDV
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqDRiXMUBF
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqgE1e8w3V
「遵命。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo5xTp7wlp
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCn8b4G1Et
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0UiRu7OCN
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ69Mx26FQa
「為甚麼？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfRfo6paNT
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuncLBoV0BZ
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglWFqnOzgs
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nzTRU964y
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZD1QdrJmJ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxhTSCTh0l
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz9XizNkVV
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMAZooaqzX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQgLsP746R
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5DjYTPgMa
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIguCCITeJ
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiScgrCJxv6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1hzkboedC
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5DiokczQi
「之後呢？」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvSHLDwVBU
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJqhMOoQUo
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7vlFrgN6O
