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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZed093BpU

「父親大人，辛苦了。」布麗姬特按照禮數，再次出宮到停機坪迎接。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNLBksW0N9

金度牽起女兒的手走進廳堂，行為舉止格外親切，但他額頭上的傷疤，讓布麗姬特感到擔憂。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ688VSWRTU1
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7sUwcDTKp
「您身體還好嗎？要不要休息一下？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xPAKIuQ2F

老將軍神采煥發，迫不及待地說出好消息，「跟妳說，爸爸要升遷了！我能分到火星，妳會變成老家的公主……更重要的是，我會有更多時間陪妳。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHCmE0N8Yr

布麗姬特擁抱父親、喜極而泣。上次離別之前，那副憂心忡忡的蒼老面容，她終於能夠忘懷。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtWGesF0rB
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvARfBwv5S
「原諒我……埋首工作，都沒注意到妳已經……長這麼大了……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq1mR589PL
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiyxhuvOsy
摟住女兒的腰，金度輕聲細語道：「上次我有沒有交給妳……什麼東西？代為保管？撞到頭，害我有點失憶呢……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0SFKx89BY
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Pu5zORa8
「嗯？有啊，那個小儲存碟……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUMNFmaiMf

不要相信任何人。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8e1PMipYK
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ1Fohqkyb
沉重告誡閃過布麗姬特腦海。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaL65cd0be
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdqcsc4l1H
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZwEtlFexG
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS3JnheO4t
「小儲存碟？在哪裡？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDjLRghp5S

「是……父親，我這就回寢室找找……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzoQpXmQYI
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bPyewxRMS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7l7Qz1QNg
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5gdcJkxwY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGFk6DdjPu
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMET0f2Glol
一片黑，什麼都看不見。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa2gD7CkMA
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSPzKFMENo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQXaTTVXsU
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8kACBNsJW
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVLWVAXVbG

聽到門把粗暴亂轉，貴族之女掏出藏在胸口的儲存裝置，強忍淚水接受現狀，「爸爸出事了……這裡不能待，要想辦法逃出去。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3blva5dD9
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswOJqEfLft
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppYQSvM3Zy
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lH8CpCW6v
脫掉高跟鞋、壓抑恐懼，她小心翼翼避開巡邏衛兵，成功進入樹林。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8DfqsXe39
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1iYI8vmrG
「快逃、快逃……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPzwHI2ooP
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS7N4wyt8R
但是，又能逃去哪？沒了家室，她要怎麼活下去？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFTPgDMcXr
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar02nsFZC1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Oxce1UaXU
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh6Ala89xS
強忍淚水狼狽起身，落葉被踩碎的聲音從布麗姬特前方傳來。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mIeUwldT2
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tzLKvpRX6
「誰……騎士大人？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJIaICeeN8
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3XHpqwEad
身穿長袍軍裝，臉上有改造紋路的武將伸出援手，扶著主公的女兒躲進草叢。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIVyQW5ZdU
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqJ8VE4gOz
「麥西，父親表現很奇怪，我們要找人幫忙！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIPuFRwhF2

「麥西米利恩，難道你也……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKtjAuH731
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf45Oe3P92
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKQGv61ZvK
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAZ5K5j4A9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM8ZXqxjkx
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO9ZjcD8vx
安寧病房窗外是紅色汪洋，母親嚥下最後一口氣。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqolVuE3vjf
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyDewxXQKR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsrA4VRwdp
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Z4aTzlAr

布麗姬特睜開眼睛，發現自己被安全帶繫在船艦駕駛座，旁邊正是打暈她的騎士。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWQvelsBnf
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZfLaFwrPT
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX14CYTCAI7
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoVrWcI1V9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj5WwO63Tx
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgZER6TnF2
「大小姐，我願接受任何懲罰，但必須等我們成功脫逃……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKiZg0AOVv
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRqF96aIm1
「你……為什麼……」布麗姬特收起小刀幫忙止血，試著整理混亂思緒，「到底怎麼回事？我們在哪？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovOcRtuNCJ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxtY8HZnjh
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8iZvmUMKA
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2qOBTbH9U
「父親果然……可是，要逃到哪呢……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KciyWprn8
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JrAXVuiPQ
麥西米利恩推動油門，艙內顛簸加劇，「我的計畫是……突破大氣層，換乘機體甩開追兵，尋求庇護……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfQMJTZHrM
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxuCfWvGTY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34cfF2KAJo
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjo87VIl49
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg0XpELRy7
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19CqJyufaz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrQdyAGNyE

「大小姐，請您忍耐！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG1VinXqT8

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0mDYK4xTJ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn1dD46qHO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui3heaiVQa

無數流星群當前，半人馬沒有退縮，而是把雙槍互相結合，全速衝進死亡風暴。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4mM7ncZPq

503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYHpp1bMBO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadBs0bzlKT
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP06r5uIDZ
帝國追兵也被迫停止前進，因為衝進月球殘骸根本是自殺行為。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAAv4uLotD

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCLiGDP1Fh

親后派份子被關進運輸艇，運回木衛四。元帥只留下少數守軍，因為有纏結通訊裝置，離開家園也能隨時掌握狀況。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJMtKyr2mZ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5g2LVo6QX
萬事俱備，本應充滿信心的他，卻被母親的最後一席話搞得五味雜陳。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR28OCVdxYC

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。
