「妳認為妳那一槍處決不了曼賈・漢生是出自甚麼原因？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4OilRxJQG
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCYsCkhwkT
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？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB6IlX34Ii
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ19mDO8jns
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？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnbwNolWJY
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VDK8WWd2l
「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？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg48qIIJopC
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiKiSO4Res
「我可沒有這樣說。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB1scY0R0h
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmHDHE2uVc
「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？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfudur1JqOO
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7C26VQvxm
「我再說一次，我沒有這樣說。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YvXFyIQNv
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmeBueuIF1
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？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBcjCzsj2i
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgKPUoWsi1
「那麼哈芙小姐認為自己下次有沒有把握？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFFDRWiA1v
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP7KzgHQ17
哈芙瞪著貝吏刻唐喘了幾口氣冷靜自己：「怎會有......」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsyJtKthx6
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCZ1jdV5MQ
「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。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKMqGp3Jpk
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY7zMhDhVa
貝吏刻唐坐下：「抱歉，哈芙小姐，我居然會懷疑你。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbtTLOSytj
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09efco7KIF
「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。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxfusz58ft
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55WmeFMN0g
「我表達最深切的歉意。」貝吏刻唐點頭。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUctkPiUArC
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IK1ainPFz
「貝吏刻唐輔佐官今天過來找我這件事，女皇陛下知道嗎？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JSsiawbhi
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGeLCScRyb
「為甚麼她會提到女皇陛下？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcKlJ0351G
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6msSZepQU
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？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZfMqHbaHE
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt8MR1wAwK
「哈芙小姐言之有理。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAm4Hy28Rf
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn5AGKV1uw
「所以呢？女皇陛下知道嗎？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAaIzzdHpw

「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！」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBNhyQ0qQm
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiwkUyHtAz
「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？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKyNRLxAPI
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROKBfwChJG
「沒錯。」哈芙交叉雙手。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvS5lVgaq7
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeuLDGN6Kk
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2xnIg9zVF
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSnmcpS2MQ
貝吏刻唐敲門，「是誰？」沙卡美的聲音從裏面傳出。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzWDvJb3Pz
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RnDdiA9FY
哈芙不滿地站在貝吏刻唐背後。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eQoF5eHyJ
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROLGscsPwn
「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。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkWfzFhVkb
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQUzB7pYuD
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3XKByLqkt
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52ugE9wDau
「進來吧。」「遵命。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ1rssCmrj
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoC5qfPBbU
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUmxuvYBOz
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuv0GUhhm7
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZfprEhMvv
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8lf4sT4cO
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqikevNJfb
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLk7yu6CC1
「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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64u4ONfTN4
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5kYGy8xWj
「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！」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaPzYpLjY1
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34JbArkB0I
沙卡美放另一張文件到面前：「貝弟弟，這是怎麼一回事？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYdo5rUEdi
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj9iYtRl9j
「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。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M7dW7wXc5
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPGxX7gHvK
沙卡美放下羽毛筆看著貝吏刻唐：「貝弟弟，你是笨蛋嗎？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwBJW8YiDa
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEckfTWtt2R
貝吏刻唐單膝跪地：「我已經準備好受罰，請女皇陛下降罪。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS8Gt7dYDq
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrPGI3PSuY
「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。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObBecyuZp6
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfdQMSIkeA
「請女皇陛下降罪。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnUrvJxSg5
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvALHlUB4C
「哈芙，妳想他做甚麼？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQEwiNGXmS
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4NTUmqmU1
「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。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5tDo4gTsW
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvMYASqqZh
「貝弟弟？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nc4ydBi9q
「明白。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx9vm4Jjo3
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjPgCsD4Sr
「女皇陛下，我先回房間拿信。」哈芙行禮後離開房間。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzYpVErq6z
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiOAS3Fy3z
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。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcL5R2g9Fz
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZz4XYGgUG
「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。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeSIpSlkcQ
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHjqF7bR9w
「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。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKehCfvgbX
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspjDeytGoR
「女皇陛下真的那麼相信我和小娜嗎？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqM3dFiPU4
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUosw96CCs
「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。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM63CN6afa
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wXGKrXiKY
「因為實在太不真實了，不論過多久我都會質疑。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGhub7Fy9S
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCKcp3QtMd
「如果你像小娜一樣接受的話有多好......」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QdkvrQ0wK
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPBaBkUAFj
「我的使命就是保護小娜，要為她考慮多點。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IEVWZ3zc2
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIlODRa5J2
「朕知道了。等哈芙回來再說。」沙卡美繼續埋頭處理政務。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtypLBBL6Vw
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULb78JzB5L
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWozbN5ONo
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSrDuHjaTi
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmSLc8B0Qi
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTBqXnzUEu
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmgIHiwsN3
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7rDb9UzdT
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALHyxRWva0
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnIiJ1KhXF
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUpq1eNvoW
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhbniRH5nR
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8DKqZ5QpW
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuzs60VjjG
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。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdWmGpiksl
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQi8K4ehpP
不管如何，皇宮裏的每個人都很忙。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh88rsa3WVL
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AJdSogzjv
哈芙回來敲門：「女皇陛下，是哈芙。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub1cliX6A6

剛處理完一半文件的沙卡美不勞煩地說：「進來。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjeEhTxGlL
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVXOmx4qP8
貝吏刻唐站在沙卡美右後方欣賞些微恢復生氣的街道。297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKSisEfSpX
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbF8fLWyt3
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。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtJ5bGGApO
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9YEktGt5r
「貝弟弟，朕剛才怎麼不記得叫你幫忙？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhUTRZJ5ct
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx7riyjwYH
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？」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2EBpT1HVt
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwBDP6RlKL
「也好，但等朕處理完面前這堆東西再說。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBlJvASCVx
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZExpRmdN0w
哈芙補充：「請貝吏刻唐輔佐官絕對不要打開信。」297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJf0BLsAuO
