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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TyzRSQFdT

「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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLRVqB0Z6I
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG9WjSD8M0
「妳怎麼一個人過來？麥西米利恩呢？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiBcS7GriC

「好吧，希望安逸生活不會害他鈍掉。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspBCswEui9
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4JXWQRSML
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSeHag3mpE
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap7IrU6RCr
「您身體還好嗎？要不要休息一下？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CzaOtMvF9
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dZY6ZjnkO
「哦？沒事沒事，打仗嘛，難免受點傷，一切都有回報的……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DisVUlBsC
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKevYK2puxH
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。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefqGJjaLCW
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCurApXTAo
「真的嗎……太好了，終於……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLHXmZErVM
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5oRYPvSBd
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gi6Wa4CyL
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUitOUyElsB
「原諒我……埋首工作，都沒注意到妳已經……長這麼大了……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmhqASjAID
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJHpkS5FQx
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……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqFkYDEV2L
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhac5mZ0FJd
「嗯？有啊，那個小儲存碟……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxSPgT8y3D
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0NyfaUMOs
不要相信任何人。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEIwoxje9C
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5FPbY7jXC
沉重告誡閃過布麗姬特腦海。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7ZCCXHQ1i
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVTBkMe1GD
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tu372uax0
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1yjUXn8lb
「小儲存碟？在哪裡？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAAhDE9pqi
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhABmAJmJ0a
「還……留在宮內，也許，等我們拜訪母親、用完餐之後……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuCZxjgfOQ

「拿給我，我需要⸺現在！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMWNKuoKyl
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuJFNqdbmU
吼聲在宮中迴響。金度發現女兒驚恐的神情，一改咄咄逼人的態度。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxY9VgFiQm
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXsBvtiNFe
「噢，抱歉，親愛的……可以把它還給我嗎？裡面有很重要的東西。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjC9yVYfLI
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpBuFWvY6K
「是……父親，我這就回寢室找找……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE8RFOzizL
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJUJF9bi7r
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYX9CWPbcE
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1RYcaN5JM
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv874s3eEiy
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxU2hBW1ku
一片黑，什麼都看不見。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k5ThBuCKT
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJst1BBWsb
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTTKB8qaNk
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKtV4Q9eZd
「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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFJCvzyJFu
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSUJBNXucp
「不、不要……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWscELjD5Ay
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVlgL0L2Ul
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。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcIx2sLdJx
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCOqGRBaUb
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRSwoN6oS4
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgXRVbJMGP
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPYYRDs3VP
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOVHm7Hn29
「快逃、快逃……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhowBN28Cip
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoZ6xqkmkE
但是，又能逃去哪？沒了家室，她要怎麼活下去？438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUKyBrE5rS
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcOEYLrele
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnbaKdTG1t
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiPTSI64wF
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDt90hQKP1
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwQ6FNpUM8
「誰……騎士大人？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwn2y4T1H3
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHFcS0CLao
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIYA9Quhcl
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TN53UA5H9
「麥西，父親表現很奇怪，我們要找人幫忙！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn63jEInJna

「麥西米利恩，難道你也……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyao31kebj
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7isZWH3AT
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8Lmy8hyaj
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GI3HmslEp
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnULwbZhZa
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68ptBsddVA
安寧病房窗外是紅色汪洋，母親嚥下最後一口氣。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z9kpIFdFX
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yarVBcKMu
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHaHxwaSGB
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbVZS5WREQ
「是我害媽媽死了……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtyDMS2wvp

回憶中的父親輕撫自己頭頂，母親的遺容充滿安詳。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2bJj2ScJJ
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTki0NJjHvl
「她把生命交給妳，所以妳要堅強……任何人、任何事物都沒辦法傷害妳，因為妳有她的祝福，還有我的愛。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetqvcId74t

「爸爸！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33KpqVv1l3
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN1wMCpWkC
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzrjR7ScpK
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcSYWSlD4Y
「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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DxD1Rwje4
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBqgpiaZXZ
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9sTRDqCPz
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEBX0layVQ
「大小姐，我願接受任何懲罰，但必須等我們成功脫逃……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnC3NUpEXu
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh5RSD9ZSJ
「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？」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjXSTwbqAq
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFrpMd1YDI
「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。」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vs9XdEPou
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVnuf3tned
「父親果然……可是，要逃到哪呢……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHaPOKDQc4
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK7Y80ZZQo
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……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSiHxN3xKH
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTrR8VUeyC
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyzG0EnUeF
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH2I4PMhQc
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ViUSnbyr
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUvt5Zwm7L
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwTR2Q5sng
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEfNk3eSzR
「大小姐，請您忍耐！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPdvqOJn38
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdqmFyhuvj
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXGDMunjiF
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nhQBCrIRk
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwinNtH5kkl

布麗姬特看到螢幕上的警報，得知她們走頭無路。就要放棄希望時，突然感到環抱身體的手臂更加緊縮。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi84Fo0qjNv
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidag7qc4zU
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSzjVZMeuP

「在下等的就是這個……長弓型態！高出力照射！」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpXynPqg3p
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc35AaKpdqs
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIIbPnmdsL
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mMuS9dEJz
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHu5fmUy0D

「麥西……」438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gnMLQV3ZE
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ32elfv3n
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6I7UK2RAj

438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69HPHhNvcA
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe94jzriNk
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRwfqFitlA
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。438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eMjidK1Gu

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。
