南極皇都到希臘官邸的航班，金度‧金恩‧艾因里希非常享受。帝國高層會議結束，他帶回不少名望，還有自我啟發。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxjqFxcpO9

沉重告誡閃過布麗姬特腦海。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym2nKvUDSL
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaGgC5tTWJ
身上游移的手掌讓她十分不自在。父親的瞳孔深處，竟然有一股陌生氣息。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE7WXQphpH

雙手緊握裙襬，快步跑過長廊、走上階梯。千金公主喘著大氣、鎖緊房門。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vdznFGbX6
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEcIRnL632
鳥兒鳴叫，日光依舊。她慢慢低下頭，從鑰匙孔向外看去。剛才那些，應該只是錯覺而已。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlMwneHipF

一片黑，什麼都看不見。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTuVUQBVMJ

她這才發現，被稱為父親的男人緊貼在門外，準備彎腰窺視進來。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTse59stMZ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YicffHCLg
「嗚……」布麗姬特擋住嘴巴，往牆邊跌去。幸好絨毛地毯吸收聲音，讓她能偷偷從死角爬到陽台。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStHiaLKsvK

503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeUv20Qi6C
海風刺痛手指，布麗姬特緊緊抓住外牆浮雕，一邊聽著漸漸增多的腳步聲，一邊攀下地面。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8R3oGcJqk

但是，又能逃去哪？沒了家室，她要怎麼活下去？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL8VscsTBt
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWOHypTSMk
閃過眼角的樹幹就像不懷好意的人群，不斷打擊她的意志，直到她體力透支、跌倒在地。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuksXU0Helh
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2eJ65Ceth

落難公主心底一涼，還沒反應過來就被重擊後頸、失去意識。漸漸模糊的視線中，是充滿悔意的男人神情。
思念與夢境，帶著女子回到故鄉。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyQO8eJELj
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnEM9VjnQL
火星表面經過千年改造，已經像極了地球，不同的是，那裡海水顏色偏紅。布麗姬特很久沒看到老家，但總是會夢到同一個場景。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ665yI3aNJm

金度的妻子比夫君更「不像貴族」。她堅持靠自己的力量與病魔搏鬥，不接受複製人器官移植。雖然成功生下一女，但還是難逃命運魔爪。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd31UZ3jKz8

503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xdq2tNYUo
「麥西米利恩‧羅威‧邁爾，你竟敢……」落難公主拔出臂環內藏小刀，抵住背叛者的脖子。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5EzsI2wAV
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIMkC7QcZY
沒有回應，也沒有辯解。布麗姬特仔細一看，發現騎士冒著冷汗，一手操縱面板，另一手緊壓腹部，長袍被血跡染紅。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5sqfUypUx
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ07Jb6rwPl

503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ702MkskS4d
「金度將軍下令將您活捉，甚至要進行拷問，那完全不像他，在下……違反軍紀，把您帶到這艘運輸船，不小心中槍。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzDsAEI6qQ

閃光與震動逐漸停止，太空梭飛出地球，迎接它的，是數萬顆攻擊衛星組成的防禦陣列。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvAToQXfBb

濃密雷射交織亂舞，瞬間把船身大卸八塊。煙塵與碎片之中，一架機械半人馬浴火出擊。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvVjQQ1FkC
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7N4FG6Rri
四足推進器猛踏真空；雙手握槍殺出重圍。侍衛武將專用機「山杜爾‧弓騎」且戰且走，披肩裝飾燒毀也無妨，因為繡在上頭的帝國旗幟，它已經不再效忠。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoXxVaQf9t

人馬機兵只有單一座位，騎士雙手緊抱公主減緩衝擊，同時透過神經連結裝置進行戰鬥。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE14mopPMv
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4sp1lR2X0
山杜爾左右閃避，展開槍柄上的柺刃，同時對應不同距離的威脅。但，攻擊衛星怎麼殺都殺不完，載著追兵的船隻也進入宇宙空間。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mntNM1Wrb

強烈光束在風暴中轟出一個大洞，正好讓山杜爾進入。大量碎塊因此改變軌道，開始往地球落下，攻擊衛星只好轉頭執行原本工作，擊落威脅皇都的隕石。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6yL7cyP2v

人馬機兵在天昏地暗的亂塵中閃躲、跳躍。G力不斷拉扯布麗姬特全身，她終究還是支撐不住、再次暈厥。最後映入眼簾的，是騎士的全心全靈，還有通訊螢幕上的求助對象⸺和平重工。
公主與騎士成為不確定因素。同時間，木星圈也出了一位逃家貴族。他帶走的不是小小磁碟，而是大半數宇宙艦隊。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUlxrM39i3

集結的新月、蠢動的帝國與重工。各方勢力角逐天下，外環抗軍仍蟄伏在太陽系邊境。他們能否成為燎原星火？一切都得在土星戰役見真章。
