「哈芙小姐。」「是？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccy9avgWtC
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r7NlywzQv
「妳認為妳那一槍處決不了曼賈・漢生是出自甚麼原因？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjilhw7zgO
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBH4rrvgK0
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？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTBmDgfEK3
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG1Nq6qXfi
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？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCJmSKTCUq
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNdroVhwlz
「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？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg9a7ISVYw
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj938csJgwY
「我可沒有這樣說。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYjLZwMaC0
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaudRKGE43K
「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？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8J0qMcozQ
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1OGLeV9HS
「我再說一次，我沒有這樣說。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtpgmW3j03
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfVf65o2dq
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？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL7iJbjD8A
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmVrLlxTey
「那麼哈芙小姐認為自己下次有沒有把握？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZhPRcFhc5
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzd8t0IXOg
哈芙瞪著貝吏刻唐喘了幾口氣冷靜自己：「怎會有......」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeGLpOw1Rh
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDUTjyLlbz
「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。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmNZBJuJt2
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhD0fvvvEk
貝吏刻唐坐下：「抱歉，哈芙小姐，我居然會懷疑你。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0pGYxi5Fx
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaqG6toduh
「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。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cDZZoyNkG
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrWqXLmeQh
「我表達最深切的歉意。」貝吏刻唐點頭。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4LsYtqe8j
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSVEqSfnLH
「貝吏刻唐輔佐官今天過來找我這件事，女皇陛下知道嗎？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgUgmYTfmc
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIQkYXNz9M
「為甚麼她會提到女皇陛下？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kVWfsPVpf
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85UNvdWFSH
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？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXvInCPphU
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7VKNiIoBb
「哈芙小姐言之有理。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbTVJLWuam
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC0AKB0VxH
「所以呢？女皇陛下知道嗎？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1WWdHXjPm
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyyVUh2rEm
「為甚麼她要乘機反攻我？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAtl6msT6i
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklzwxPk8j1
「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！」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13nSB5xYJL
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKacqirrJsJ
「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？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY7QPNB8hY
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A4Blc94Th
「沒錯。」哈芙交叉雙手。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH07IS0rBg
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLlIx6fYB6
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWYgzCLckg
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DRiD3ayBn
貝吏刻唐敲門，「是誰？」沙卡美的聲音從裏面傳出。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpbxU1S8zZ
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF4k20U0fQ
哈芙不滿地站在貝吏刻唐背後。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B8Tl92Kig
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH7Jlid41m
「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。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRY1a8lGJD
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51Z34NvRzU
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbczKUmLxKm
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC9jMc4bhU
「進來吧。」「遵命。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvZuvAUVlx
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaxi19coP2
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy1pzd91z6
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RIodtj3BN
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L7voPJ6Y4
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAheXCxVL2
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkXQ0oRN6h
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e1BUaEyWU
「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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRIoXS5eSN
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMx5b8jmMl
「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！」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cp1QWOe44
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0GCuyIZsK
沙卡美放另一張文件到面前：「貝弟弟，這是怎麼一回事？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhqIhw9N52
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ68OJcCgG
「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。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsnrgk8U0R
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvl78kVHFz
沙卡美放下羽毛筆看著貝吏刻唐：「貝弟弟，你是笨蛋嗎？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFo1LL5UDl
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce3OTPTjD3
貝吏刻唐單膝跪地：「我已經準備好受罰，請女皇陛下降罪。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nSHq4T9vS
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshF2a1pL0t
「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。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUynC7NAph
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0plcEdHo8
「請女皇陛下降罪。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTBI7rwZ0q
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6LEEieu1d
「哈芙，妳想他做甚麼？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4rDSnvbBu
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoByInjhIf5
「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。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnTrWytfK0
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfMKf0StpX
「貝弟弟？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOzk9cAPT0
「明白。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG5NijhpRG
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLzT3oUv96
「女皇陛下，我先回房間拿信。」哈芙行禮後離開房間。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQZgTJU0JJ
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTTl5fxfQX
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。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp19s5lqgDH
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZInagaduvv
「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。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCUyMevLm7
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLjEQzUKce
「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。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHryKXQWE1L
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIL4IU8rra
「女皇陛下真的那麼相信我和小娜嗎？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWvVRyW0Sx
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu1DCB4FaU
「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。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tc4lUVsC1
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQox5UpQ2t3
「因為實在太不真實了，不論過多久我都會質疑。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdZhWDMjn9
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AIV6LxhB8
「如果你像小娜一樣接受的話有多好......」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dsJAMI3zg
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyflF4zZBZ
「我的使命就是保護小娜，要為她考慮多點。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHmugG1ih8
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5xyb09YXv
「朕知道了。等哈芙回來再說。」沙卡美繼續埋頭處理政務。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhofTkXdjj
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmWM5QnIk9
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpNsnFLA5o
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0BEjIZWdE
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmXSLWnejZ
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRQFfSOMxC
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AfW40TP4n
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGkTnOexxf
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq6C2pxH3S
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCFWgzS9uc
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PZzKUddvw
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQucMIu1xNw
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDkdYEsICU
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP148DegoH
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。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWuOSEZOOR
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ133NTfrXcD
不管如何，皇宮裏的每個人都很忙。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH8OoWPhDa
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMNTMIt8iR
哈芙回來敲門：「女皇陛下，是哈芙。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx830zut5dO
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzIEZDcHZ9
剛處理完一半文件的沙卡美不勞煩地說：「進來。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sXsD2pNO8
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GP2pi1SdW
貝吏刻唐站在沙卡美右後方欣賞些微恢復生氣的街道。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBRM3tn8Q2
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTFrbVY0WY
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。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmnmtp7zjc
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2CA65XL5m
「貝弟弟，朕剛才怎麼不記得叫你幫忙？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtArV05aJVy
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TBgntAIaC
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？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMCaA50cWT
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Viz82VpoT
「也好，但等朕處理完面前這堆東西再說。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECu9Ymag7F
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C5ldz9L5P
哈芙補充：「請貝吏刻唐輔佐官絕對不要打開信。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW7n3eJMNi
