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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu33x4SSAdR
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CT7msDoBN
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDopRo5GeaP
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sOGZTfn0v
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoK9RLaXBl
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFhYADKJUd
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pcvKmqqki
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIYieoEbUw
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？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vBc0WoCs4
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0yz6Mp2mG
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4haVvN5Ai
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5e1CdUH6m
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6rZDQ7Uhe
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5olM6BYok
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb6r7Ztf6z
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsHddmBYc3
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeix5xrUA6s
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdAXKPdsZz
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI2lAY2JXR
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvuObMh43T
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cip5HboUF
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47accKSD1r
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE27x1aWpcg
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC5HCiBISQ
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhWQdbpYWN
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGCiiwWN8j
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmH7U9aIRl
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcug4lrLOr
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItw3fsZscj
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWRnQSXokM
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKQ8nwMdPI
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L6MvUF5dw
「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。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoll60CWsmE
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIJ0a4x8NL
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLaqIoq16r
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrGc5BDn0i
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPomy6y0OYC
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunTAB2eCdX
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsozFxWptV
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIylPXaPlB
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G2j7r20km
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZanVn4ck3
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdFJbOPpX0
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ouxL2Nnr
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnob1ncPMd
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ap5eR5XKp
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2XmdJpUxw
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnHU1NKyPY
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo5kHvqTOE
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHzFWAcdDC
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nsJofiLQN
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkC4yutULs
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5jVuk8dHK
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVCuB3tT00
「沒錯。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcELLx6FoW
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid9uhwk3XX
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3FEpJH93Z
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1P1W9oOqt
「遵命，女皇陛下。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLQX0fZ25G
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTIzRt6xPe
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJDAmzu82S
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOXa8G192p
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiArRbao7ZH
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6ApIV6Mr1
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXQqx9bFiE
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjBcaxgxv4
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdH3gFrzUV
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EjfXfdS5m
「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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVA7W7rxqV
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw2aPqAf5T
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDofZjAST48
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1zTxpgaSm
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJiKjijxEm
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。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRr4sMPNtN
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux1KeiG1tj
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV1NkXxisW
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUlPMJEZk6
「甚麼事？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs944tcBFVG
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16YQ1jOKz2
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WXmKEoEQF
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3hMbVoh4C
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？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO778ep3Af
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKhoY6yhfW
「女皇陛下英明。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyKaMNMrlC
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMdOjJrOUx
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhXfPf52nP
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ6HGQGu7k
「細作？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Jes0a9eC
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlQ7h7mzTs
「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。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnd4XtERkz
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnp4WniTBX
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk5in4dS1X
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwzio7UZPo
「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。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0zJOU10Xq
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnecedqcbdS
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuYjvkHbMf
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViNRVOl8iJ
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。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqBAZAS7HI
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrHZukNujw
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRaHZTuIMb
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXzzeos24p
「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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3evRG1nxXC
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1xRYRw3pA
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOLE0ofw1l
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqmdewsj8R
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuFSlvpoon
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLLZSVnxNp
「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。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEae15eiHr5
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HzAVukVbg
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MTR5CAQ7D
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFbA4VXBPX
「暗影守衛團的四人。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl7z8EVqBF
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hLSVUFIc5
「利華特呢？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjGiNgxae8
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKVb4UL9SN
「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？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHoRQzJ9no
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO258baS3B
「明白。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGhEq8thdK
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGctfIvb6B
「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。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHxRfHTnBS
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDcc7Tj0Pb
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd1qKDPkjG
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbhJ0BlGno
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Km2HlxDwx
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aRWfOdp5a
「不用審問嗎？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Y8gIqYh2
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRKwEra9eT
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW9FDPQZvR
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXpwNzszC6
「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。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmEuYIaWxx
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcwhBmdmlR
「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。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmTdA747LB
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRMbFOXz3S
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj73eWPjrER
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaVtIh6dpZ
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmQdNJ9ubd
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz4enyeNYs
「遵命。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwJJhiAa8O
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPp4IL2znL
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNuLXqvyIF
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVYHcNAIBh
「為甚麼？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZTRdE6L3C
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLnihqA5Ky
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20eb8kY1oN
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMNdSghgj4
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzATACTdsY
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCa0z4jYox
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2XuO3qpzK
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofB1ljLd88
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。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSqTJ4maN0
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlToQmaGhpi
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoL5RSFMT8
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq74tR0dhT
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。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCokAWoyDc
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhDIvUFKWa
「之後呢？」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rHQF49bXq
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aHEX2bfyK
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk3B8s1u5y
