一般的孩子學會說話的時候，第一個會的詞是「媽媽」。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIowhqHgQFu
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx8HUIN9QJ
可是龍卻跟一般的孩子有點不一樣，他第一個說出口的詞彙，是「父親」，他第二個詞則是「徹」。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1vuxvYMjg
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dI2kfEmcc
徹．曼德沙，魔族之王，也他父親的名字。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWdmqFGr8P
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPxIJvNfbF
他的人生也圍繞著父親開始。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXUEKNKmaE
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUJAml6vzd
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRdXbKCvjU
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR35hpluUJc
從有記憶開始，徹總是陪伴在身邊。對龍而言，徹是他的父親、兄長、老師，更是他的世界。對幼時的他而言，這些詞彙並沒有差別，在龍理解這句話的意思之前，就已經樹立了不少敵人。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc33VO10Y2Q
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaiUlLL8VR
不論是哭是笑，徹總是在他身邊，龍只有很少的時候才會獨處，有記憶以來，龍總是在等待徹，以至於身邊的人向他搭話讓他楞了一下。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtT1xr2o7t
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rf5Nw98iH
這個人是魔族的皇后，是坐在徹身邊的女人，叫做星澄。她的短髮齊耳、五官端正，相貌比看起來更年輕。她對龍招了招手，表情看不出是什麼意思。她猶豫了許久，才說：「龍，你跟陛下太親近了。如果覺得無聊，可以找露陪你。老待在陛下身邊，像是什麼樣子。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ5NVt5h0t
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g4Z3upjjO
「什麼樣子？」龍抬起頭，女人有瞬間愣住了：「就像是情人。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFDRMtfElK
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vm151B129
「什麼是情人？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceczIEaqa5
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS7295c64L
「這是個好問題，我想想該怎麼回答。」星澄被這問題噎住了，她蹙著柳眉，認真思索著，「所謂的情人，就是見不得光的存在。這些人，只能在黑暗中待在愛人身邊的存在。是注定被愛折磨的可憐人。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppQZBTKJHw
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsNP0obxPU
「什麼是見不得光？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMoq7hIWNM
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZpxo4zmZP
「就是在一起很丟臉，沒有人會承認你。」星澄耐著性子說下去，「我會勸勸他，但我想未必有效。我只是想告訴你，這樣下去……」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6NtOix1gv
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkjDAZ18Dc
「這樣下去？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzM9et4UaV
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3nW2DRXBs
星澄皺著眉頭，「你們會後悔。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhro4j0GuGk
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYCmd6NKSc
龍微微歪頭，不知道是不是聽懂了，老氣橫秋地回了一句：「我知道了。」這神情與口吻，簡直就像是他父親。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5G6IrDWqr
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKzx5T8dwa
星澄笑道：「你該做的，是多多認識同年的孩子。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZOxqGUC9Z
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmjwBwAQaa
「我只有徹就夠了。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrOweHCyJP
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCKxnvm0S8
星澄道：「如果你只有一個避風港，一旦這個地方消失，你就會崩潰。雖然我不知道你能聽懂多少，但是，這確實是我的肺腑之言。如果你聽不懂，那很好，一但聽懂的那天，請你認真考慮我的話。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVulAQKQh9n
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I7kMVa6EE
龍認真地看著她，記著她說的話，笑逐顏開。「謝謝您，皇后陛下。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztyv8IyDPu
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Ndr5ikT5
然而，這卻是這對名義上的母子最後一次平和地談話。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj07Pt8xj0

整個魔界只有小皇子會直呼魔王陛下的名諱。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlbva8O4m0
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdwoCqmRBn
這稱呼帶著的縱容與溺愛，讓皇宮對這位小王子避而遠之。不管到哪裡，都看得到他們兩人的身影。王需要工作，小皇子也該學習。這時候，徹就會留下幾本書，然後在他臉上留下親吻，為了討好父親而學習。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWyXko6J7H
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJrXSf7ufK
達成目標之後，徹會給他一個禮物。從糖果、玩具、娃娃、魔獸的心臟、書本以至於一整天的時間，心思敏捷、好奇心十足的小皇子什麼都要求過。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW54taF2qBK
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsdNYBTxH8
六歲的某一天，龍要求了一個特別的禮物：「可以親我嗎？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzTEalatgA
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjzBv8JDP0
徹很驚訝，「你知道這代表什麼意思嗎？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto5R4Xw1Bq
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbPjkdLLsV
「是很喜歡的意思。你不喜歡我嗎？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1X4Z1WBEz
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUKNaLFs0d
「……你是我的孩子，我當然喜歡你。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAxTGHOnPn
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnYt2h4Knd
龍笑了開來，小雞啄米似的親吻了徹。他伸手捧住徹的臉，見他稍微側頭避開，卻不高興了：「不要亂動。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m4W8ZyB23
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexd1RsyWCm
「為什麼突然想這麼做？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWs4MV4EGT
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cmpxEiayJ
龍有點得意：「因為大皇后說不可以。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJnz0C2Bgi
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgr0tg6WbR
徹把他摟到懷裡，發出低笑：「你討厭她嗎？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2h2FmtLUw
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrqRWCNQ24
「不討厭，但也不喜歡。我聽不懂她在說什麼。我覺得他很煩。」龍蹭到了父親懷裡，「但我不喜歡她看著我的表情，她討厭我獨佔你。所以，我就特別想看她不舒服的表情，惹她不高興。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnBBGrl4nA
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wdoWNdeWB
「……為什麼？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h33Q1rmCO
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeROfkSNnRV
「因為無聊。」龍微微抬起頭，做出了親吻的動作，卻沒真的吻下去，自顧自地咯咯輕笑。徹維持笑容，卻說：「別擔心，我會跟她談談。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFyow9b7vt
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0GYMl9MQS
「好啊。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqjABZaOfx
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4D0os06XY
龍隨口回應了幾句，開始講起這幾天的生活。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFt8SU3SjQ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMUBdTvosZ
「說起來，我見到姊姊了。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3O8dymeJe
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCKKegsrJd
「哪個姊姊？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNfLRLoEtt
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnJzHuJVyZ
「叫做露，跟大皇后很像。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDNoiRkIFp
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGISG6pAkGc
星澄讓他跟姊姊露見了面，這個大他二十歲的姐姐見了他就特別興奮，老是繞著他轉或者送東西。龍口中雖然嫌煩，敘說時卻滿臉笑容，顯然對這個姊姊很有好感，還不時發出笑聲。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vg3E1XKKm
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4A6qFX5xS
徹本來很樂於讓龍有自己的生活圈，也信得過露的性格，就乾脆把龍交給她。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIXRtixulE

滄雨城王宮之內歌舞昇平，離開了都城卻是殺聲震天。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqwbRbXS8d
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJnfa8JFxY
這幾天，徹經常不在，偶爾回來也是滿身血腥。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiJuBg49PH
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbElKSL4q7
拖著疲憊的身體回到了皇宮，本來就推開房門，卻停了下來。他轉過頭，在龍的離宮休息。這離宮本來是他給自己的休憩處，最初為了在星澄的手中保護龍的性命，就見了這個離宮。現在，這裡是龍的寢宮，也是這位小暴君的住處。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI7XOf3RPC
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOENcAoi1CW
明月高掛，魔族是受到黑暗所愛的種族，入夜之後傷口恢復得很快，如今，身上的傷痕已經看不見了。黑色衣服浸鮮血，散發濃厚的血腥氣，倒影中那張少年清秀的臉龐沒有笑容，眉眼中殺氣四溢。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPftqXFjXcd
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCG8bJg5Fh
……平靜不下來。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeGbeQgA4q
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtkQLFjXCa
傷口好了，卻仍隱隱作痛，死者的哀鳴與憎恨言猶在耳。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeTURwpu6C
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwUBIOfsn5
太陽穴隱隱抽痛著。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8TriAkbfL

徹望著水中的自己，戲謔地抬了台嘴角。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQLgGXKZh4
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j1TYnRdxq
「真可悲，就像是受傷的野獸一樣。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsApuH9eQLb
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhkpqAJffu
為什麼還是無法習慣？這種時候，他經常難以入眠，也不能回到寢宮。大皇后星澄出自魔族的神之國「月妃郡」，生來就是祭司的她對與血腥味特別敏感。剛結婚的時候，他們因此有過爭吵，所以才有這棟離宮。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorTxhnKOkv
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxQEYbOTyU
這是魔王的責任，只要在王座上的一天，就必須懷抱著痛苦活下去。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIoAWW1w8b
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI7PUrQBPs
這痛苦是活著的證明，是存在的證明。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1bxyASG7D
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae4q2EnVEx
幾百年來，他一直是這樣想的。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAMiOtknkp
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkq6gw1qPt
「……徹，你回來了。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegP7wdyZeZ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBzKkpAhwL
屬於孩童的聲音半睡半醒，徹愕然抬頭，看見龍揉著眼睛走過來。徹下意識想跟他拉開距離，「怎麼還不睡？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7MBu56sAj
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeOif32W3k
「還沒有跟你說晚安。」他的聲音很模糊，向是撒嬌又像懇求。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGyvOw9fvG
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBqQsEg8JL
「不要過來。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNWwe1pcmH
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvsKkG0FuG
龍微微歪頭，「為什麼？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIJdzhal4z
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpU0bVXaRO
「我身上有血腥味，怕你害怕。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGMIR1Rpg2
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP6SqvNHIX
龍跟平常一樣向他走來。「我聞到了，但是沒關係，很快就會洗乾淨了。」扔下的魔劍在池邊發出詭異的哀鳴，鮮血的氣味幾乎染紅了大半片池水。龍湊在浴池邊對他笑：「晚安，徹。」他想了想，「晚安吻？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXTNbiFLOE
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZCU4iMSsA
徹不禁失笑，這肯定是從露或者冽那裏學來的。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMD9K9vFdj
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPNCS3kzWi
那兩個孩子已經成年，即使在戀人面前舉動親密也不避諱，龍經常有樣學樣，有時候讓他覺得非常困擾。卻只有這次，他特別感謝這種胡鬧。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uPDFRsG6r
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FbWQ9GVHq
徹扶著額頭，發出壓抑的低笑。「過來。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwobtQtpMj
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls2iBe8qmJ
龍沒有猶豫，踏過了滿地血腥走過來。徹在龍垂頭的時候，湊上去吻了他。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVcJkxFxfI
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwnS0FW7OD
「不要等我了。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUthK3mp2X
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6TaXzHkH1
龍道：「我就要等，你看，我不是等到你了？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNtJAjI67Y
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBPJfCuDJ5
徹啼笑皆非地看著他，不知何故，隱隱作痛地傷口似乎不再疼痛。他遲疑地開口：「以後……我也能過來嗎？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZEjHOvmfp
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRfslBkWad
「好啊。」龍笑起來，紫羅蘭色的眼眸看來天真又邪氣，「如果你不來，一定要先告訴我，我會想著你進入夢中。這樣一來，我們就可以在夢裡相遇了。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmRLuzQU7C
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gG0nfAFhY
徹俯視著他。「你不怕我嗎？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6ytQOT8WD
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQRyJo0V6s
「為什麼要害怕？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJElyHYbVuK
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdEPuzxZvl
徹深深地吻了他，這回卻不是像上一次那樣打招呼的親吻。龍被他吻得臉頰微紅，恍惚的看著他卻笑了：「太好了，是平常的徹。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZnCV67gWQ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWWYAwAFkj
如果說是哪一步走錯了，或許就是那時候的第二個吻吧。從那之後，只要受了傷，徹就會回到龍的身邊。從這天開始，徹經常會跟龍一起過夜。光是看著他，痛苦就會減輕，即使被詛咒纏繞也能夠入眠。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFmpt8G1HC
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q8qiLaabu
「對不起。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliupzMIixb
