閱兵結束後便是騎士受封大典。這次共有十五位在軍、政、學、醫領域表現傑出的候選人，大葆士便是其中一名。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB7B6UVHs7

大葆士在化妝間整理妝容時，葛柏上尉前來找他。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QmidBTyNc
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEtjgGoGDs
「少校，您今天辛苦了！」葛柏上尉愧疚地看著正被化妝師努力拆鬍的大葆士：「我必須為昨晚魯莽的言行跟您道歉！」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wYjRP43KP
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOEc14BW96
「沒關係。」大葆士笑道。然而他的笑容因為臉頰被拉扯的關係，形成誇張弧度。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF6ZXEedyU
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3QY1y1PMb
「不，我真的很抱歉！您是很偉大的機擬員，我必會用餘生誓死效忠您！」葛柏上尉說完，用力行了一個完美軍禮！345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAaZAM9zVh
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65aAB8b16Q
大葆士正要回禮時，一直拔不下來的假鬍突然鬆脫，他就這樣一頭撞上梳妝台！345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DNZnxiuFS
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bAyxFL4Lw
「哎呀！我的歡鴿！」眾人驚叫。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFul0Rbemcb
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ1fKjiwdt
受封大典在柏金漢宮主殿──「柏金大堂」舉行。女皇及主要王室成員皆會齊聚一堂，給予受封者祝福。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qnbL5F5cy
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Z4MHl8cz
大葆士換上正式軍官裝，以真實模樣參與典禮。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oqMyHzby0
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebnLmuML1I
原本戰神殿打算讓大葆士依照宣傳照的形象出席，但美編部和公關部在看到大葆士閱兵的野人樣後，毅然決然放棄了這項決定。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYN6c25G6R
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRsMDI8OOQ
弄巧成拙的失誤，一次就夠了。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc712DqHETh
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoTDy5LdYE
大葆士是第一次進入柏金漢宮的主殿，平民無法入內，只有王室貴族和高階政要才能登堂。然而，只要成為王室騎士，日後便可以自由進出主殿，享受最低貴族的待遇。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNiLi8YN9v
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScEx1KOtG0
輪到大葆士進行受封了。他慎重的走上台階，在女皇腳前屈膝跪地。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1ORO9NWuz
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMkpbDy73F
「機擬員少校大葆士 ‧ 溫頓，吾今日奉歡鴿旨意，冊封汝為荊心騎士。今後汝將不惜一切保衛國土，守護弱者。無畏不懼！無堅不摧！此誓言汝必銘記在心，永誌不忘！」女皇平舉沒有劍尖的長劍，將其按在大葆士的右肩上，祝福道。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjAYAcKaTZ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LfBbJKI3w
女皇收起長劍，微彎下腰扶起大葆士，布滿皺紋的臉龐帶有無比的暖意。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPwOYIBx6Z
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM65KgfD6t4
「孩子，你今天表現得很好，布列斯托能擁有你是何等的幸運。」女皇看著大葆士輕語，後者臉頰泛起紅暈。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT2fDF5VQl
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKJYPG6nWW
「謝謝您的讚賞，女皇陛下。」大葆士不敢貿然直視女皇，當上騎士是布列斯托平民的夢想。對於 10 歲還躺在髒亂酒瓶堆裡過活的大葆士而言，可從來沒想過自己會有這麼一天。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSgwRwqKLq
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqYbjNWpiF
「不過你好像長得跟剛才不太一樣呢。」女皇露出慈祥帶點慧黠的微笑：「這才是你原本的樣子，對吧？」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzFjhpovEi
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKJwDP3HBC
「是的，女皇陛下。」大葆士有些尷尬的低下頭。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANO1Yal1p9
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaxoIkL6Ol
接著是授與騎士胸章的儀式。依照布列斯托王室傳統，每位騎士將由大王子或大公主的子嗣親手別上騎士胸章。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr3WJqXCv1
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2SGcpX1rT
大王子威卡漢 ‧ 金列斯有三名孩子，這次的授與儀式將由今年滿 20 歲的三公主──艾雀 ‧ 金列斯主持。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3enyEwBy1m
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Eb2K6SSY
艾雀 ‧ 金列斯三公主為王室著名的可人兒，也被媒體譽為集美麗與感性於一身的文學公主。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtRcLA0yEB
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaSdaxU5aH
艾雀三公主雖然還是大學生，卻已經出版過不少膾炙人口的愛情文學作品。美麗的她擁有眾多追求者，也因此經歷過幾段戀情。而這些戀情都幻化成她筆下的唯美愛情故事。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm1oEejqQT
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlhFDNQBqH
身著水藍半肩禮服的艾雀公主依序為一字排開的新任騎士們別上胸章。有好幾名男性騎士在對上艾雀公主那水靈靈的大眼時，臉頰同耳根子紅了起來！345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv6kZeqBvb
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVjxAzIScD
「願歡鴿祝福你。」艾雀公主清澈好聽的嗓音讓騎士們聽得如癡如迷。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMxMWt7QpJ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXMPA4vqCF
艾雀公主捧著特製胸章盒來到大葆士面前，她看向大葆士，後者眼睛眨也不眨的直視她。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUfz2rHEDY
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6quKaFbQIl
「……願歡鴿祝福你。」艾雀公主停頓了兩秒，隨後打開盒子，為大葆士別上胸章。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWiDlvanCc
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eSZmhIceF
別好胸章後，艾雀公主纖長的手指停在大葆士的胸口上，遲遲沒有移動。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye7nu787dw
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKtcs8mBxP
「殿下，該輪到下一位了！」一旁侍從小聲提醒，艾雀公主這才回過神！她快速抽回手，尷尬地離開大葆士面前。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGsYdf0DuK
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3y6ZrWWEU
受封大典結束後便是下午茶會。原本大葆士預計在結束後前往「象牙基地塔」與巴特夫進行交接，但女皇讓人傳訊給他，希望他能留下來與年紀相仿的王子公主們一起喝杯茶。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRmfSJVIf0
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRvl5nETcb
大葆士來到茶會舉行地點，也就是皇宮後花園。花園由專業花匠精心打造，並聘請園丁隨時照護，別緻景象讓大葆士在花叢前逗留許久。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo4lfBBNw9
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaBUrpePyV
「那是『金葉莓』，口感甜甜澀澀的。」大葆士的背後響起清澈女音，大葆士連忙側身彎腰，朝艾雀公主行禮：「艾雀殿下好。」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzTjT1WvPt
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRz7IYSl3h
「你好，溫頓少校。」艾雀公主露出淺笑：「你對植物有興趣嗎？喜歡的話，不妨摘一個試吃看看，我小時候很常吃的。」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtyT5CicYF
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmL2xjVTt3
「不用了，謝謝殿下。」大葆士維持行禮姿勢不動。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYzPTusj9n
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs9PX9loXk
「沒關係的，啊，你請先站好吧。」艾雀公主伸手摘了一顆顏色最為鮮豔的莓果，遞到大葆士手上：「請用，溫頓少校。」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i4uceTk8F
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCGlLEGw26
「謝謝殿下。」大葆士直起身，接過公主給的莓果。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJmPyaT2gq
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjasoidJwo7
「金葉莓的汁液具補血作用，對女性來說是很好的補品。殿下可請御廚幫您熬煮成果茶，飯後飲用。」大葆士說完將莓果放進嘴裡。艾雀公主眨眼。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWSHOB6tSN
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8dbkJ4hIS
「聽聞少校是高閣醫學大學跳級畢業的高材生，果然是博學多聞！」艾雀公主讚揚道：「溫頓少校，我想邀請你一同到位上喝茶，不知你意下如何？」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIisUAVgSdy
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxNN34UaTj
「那是我的榮幸，殿下。」大葆士再度彎腰。鮮豔莓果其實是過熟的，味道很苦，他心想。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlydLhijxb
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjfHD65RuT
在艾雀公主的邀請下，大葆士來到茶會區。只見穿著精緻的貴族們一派輕鬆的坐在典雅沙發上，邊聊天邊享用美味茶點。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4zwB4yZR3
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0AZ2PayOm
「溫頓少校，請坐。」艾雀公主讓侍女去準備新鮮茶點，打算與大葆士一起享用。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn88cGcGcII
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGQzeqOb9g
然而，大葆士卻是站在原處，一動也不動。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38eNvJVoG2
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc7cb6ktyb
「溫頓少校？」艾雀公主輕喚道，大葆士盯著眼前享受生活的王室貴族們，瞳孔失去光澤。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfZzHcdgEq
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KNxV8c2Qx
「大葆士？」艾雀公主喊道，大葆士回神，面帶歉色的朝公主行禮道歉。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb0xRHZ5nR
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoR1sUv3Zv
「不用那麼拘束，其實我們年紀差不多的。」艾雀公主笑道：「以後只有我們兩個的話，你不用對我行禮，說好了。」她小聲補充。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWieebYGvN
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyeMcJRlMS
「好的，殿下。」大葆士點頭。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4liqy5Dle
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoxNYNzpzT
侍女提著點心塔和剛泡好的奶茶上桌。大葆士看著裝滿精緻茶點的餐塔，露出笑眼。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKGt7jzWvq
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CosFbTlrC
「少校喜歡吃甜點嗎？」艾雀公主注意到大葆士在笑，於是問道。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZjMdZhr7L
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBr7YSPTgp
「Hehe ，不是，只是第一次看到這麼漂亮的食物。」大葆士專注看著塔上的小蛋糕，殊不知艾雀公主正透過餐塔的間隙欣賞他的表情。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3jhbjzTP3
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoNeES29NC
「請吃吃看。你喜歡的話，我可以再請御廚準備一份。」公主笑道。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR4cK1r5Jx

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN2TozKyyy
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhU4sSJr9U
「請問少校有閱讀文學書籍的習慣嗎？」飲茶過程中，艾雀公主問道。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRiHveUed7
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6WyBEhdjx
「有的，閒暇時會看。」大葆士小心翼翼的把蛋糕上的白巧克力片摘下，艾雀公主眨眼。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW7SrXIes0
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVfnd9AglT
「那……你都看什麼類型的？情感類的你會看嗎？」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNz3CBr2I3
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xl4Zz3GKH
「多半是哲學，不看情感。」大葆士把巧克力片放進口中，艾雀公主抿嘴。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iQheflUNW
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD8vCITVb4
「希望我這麼問不會冒犯到你。」艾雀公主看著大葆士：「請問少校有情人嗎？」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCe60psx2n
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O0XSE3WmL
大葆士挑眉，公主見狀連忙打圓場。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL9zNz0d8G
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6R1LDkiv0
「請別誤會，因為你剛才提到很少在看情感作品，所以我才好奇是不是已經有陪伴對象才不感興趣……」艾雀公主伸手撥弄垂在耳際下的髮絲，模樣有些失措。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOjq4luuA1
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1wj4iDMvQ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuinFXbuVy
「我沒有情人，也認為自己不值得擁有。」大葆士望向遠方若隱若現的鋼鐵牆：「我能做的，就是保護各位與各位的情人，讓大家能安心延續人類的文明。」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZPoyD8huh
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd90dFOhe0K
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzP4i2GgOa
「請別這麼說，溫頓少校。」艾雀公主皺起漂亮的濃眉：「我完全不認為你不值得擁有，你在大眾眼裡是相當出眾的男性。」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFfkuc3TCI
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtU6mm4cyL
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQgmFFdDwz
「艾雀姊姊！」公主身後傳來銀鈴般的笑聲，只見一名穿著新潮的亮麗女孩從背後一把環住她的脖子，將頭抵在她的肩頸處笑看坐在對面的大葆士。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE6SQc1EsA
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV13DS2f40
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL69sDE0GdQ
「欸？這位該不會就是那個機擬員少校？」女孩睜大眼打量大葆士：「你的鬍子咧？」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrBILroE56
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgGeuLSimS
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3242F4RVi
「希文，在貴賓面前這樣太沒禮貌了。」艾雀公主無奈道，她輕搖頸部示意女孩鬆手。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPs7PojZLW
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcduBpDWUT
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYFpDMA877
「您好，希文 ‧ 溫莎 ‧ 衛利普公主殿下。」大葆士對這名字有印象，他連忙從位上站起，對溫莎大公爵今年剛滿 18 歲的愛女行禮。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UBIvTgXOd
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfgAe3GjgG
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bt8Golg1N
「我太驚訝了！沒想到大葆士 ‧ 溫頓實際上這麼年輕！」希文公主坐到艾雀公主旁邊：「哇！長得還有點可愛欸！」她眼角勾起。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTHjdxQbXk
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuYzJGe5bh
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4LOo0SSxd
「希文，我正在──」艾雀公主話還沒講完，立即被前者打斷！345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXTSzrLUuc
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrshhBthELj
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuh7vwf07a
「溫頓少校知道我嗎？有在雜誌上看過我嗎？」希文公主說完站起身，開始在附近走起台步。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm4eohpYfU
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrkIX7kRUp
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7oVHkEMio
「知道，殿下是模特兒。」大葆士回答，猜謎他可從來沒輸過。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy1OkZvaar
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UuBe1Bzvh
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tKFvGXBMl
「哇！好開心喔！」希文公主甩動淡亞麻色的波浪大捲髮：「那你覺得我漂亮嗎？」345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwH0DJNVch
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8OPdzKRMc
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYXIIE0hHx
「殿下非常漂亮。」大葆士沒有多想的附和。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaOhdZqsfj
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eweeL2XEk
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNPqFhlBFU
「真的嗎？可是你從剛才開始就沒有在看我啊！只是一直看著後面的樹！」希文公主說完來到大葆士旁邊，緊挨著他的腳邊蹲下並且仰頭望著他。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7nN5kGR1Y
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMKEB4J8VI
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9K87HpxLh

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduhMiyI2Xy
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy14XNH7Or
名貴茶壺從托盤上飛出，大葆士見狀立即伸出右手！魔方迅速從腕帶蔓延而出，眨眼間便構成一具機械手臂，在茶壺落地前及時接下！345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02C1Iz5IcE
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWneIkxmL6Z
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsQSDJi1e1
「哇塞！」看到這幕的王室貴族們不禁放聲驚嘆！侍女連連對著大葆士鞠躬致謝，後者則是趕緊解除魔方。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tCvK9C6ba
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjCuAPIWwY
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwhZ7PKn9u
「兩位殿下非常抱歉，時間不早了，我得趕去『象牙基地塔』進行交接。很榮幸有這個機會跟兩位聊天。」大葆士對公主們行完禮後，迅速離開。345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpIVmWCRAI
