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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY6qHhZh2g

大葆士在化妝間整理妝容時，葛柏上尉前來找他。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIGNGBhSBf
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP896bMzpLw
「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！」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOiH63DmZm
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQFdqLVv4l
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ds2jfMGfH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFWHV6m9GJ
「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！294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGZERAlKfA
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B59nOfqLu
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！294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcnHkK8vfb
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1gP4Zl3pN
「哎呀！我的歡鴿！」眾人驚叫。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPs9A1nf7a
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdBmoBVVkH
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVVgwpLtST
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfR1e8jdPI
大葆士換上正式軍官裝，以真實模樣參與典禮。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB0Zkf6Gyi
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6iuN08Ubm
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5k2ZIRqrH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h25ndoc3c
弄巧成拙的失誤，一次就夠了。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM1xUBJnxT
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMgzije1MN
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr6yMNw0S4
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxx5rTHAgA
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOABX6TjZrE
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMyTj03Rub
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiRg50Ada9
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmAZsJ3LEG
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4VGcdJ0OL
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTUWaEliIl
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOT98xs7o9
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBkgY9m5tl
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoykenl4bvz
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTeGtCQKHV
「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？」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUkUZxLS1r
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGFRSZjwV6
「是的，女皇陛下。」大葆士有些尷尬的低下頭。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC3AkaCi1R
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBOtgl0kzz
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4VYU1bYBM
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqe9LQe1FF
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqarTxMpRkS
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYpKI7E36E
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0zESpMfQG
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9bbqwbXE2
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S8LCRT4CL
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hBsBB4kyC
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！294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIm4ZGMIvn
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLmJiS5ENc
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2HHt8TBx3
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyzqYlGwVq
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk9AKtb88b
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMa8pCuNBL
「……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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bAt8ZXleR
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK74WmvpWJ
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2IjWcPYsc
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle1pdCNoZv
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHesB0gu3QQ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUUNmKmnD9
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqWBZijU5E
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8c1uIc7El
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I5pydH1rJ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfIpVKfvCR
「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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6ZWaRYQ7g
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOyqz1TBth
「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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKUnO8AlVT
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcngI47eClC
「不用了，謝謝殿下。」大葆士維持行禮姿勢不動。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvyfOWtQcy
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzGPX7kBiw
「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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbrg6DMohi
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD7EOeH4VY
「謝謝殿下。」大葆士直起身，接過公主給的莓果。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyhQpLk20R
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0et1YYxFs2
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbecHghB2L
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD95WaeZk3
「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？」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzkseAU50r
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn1vQNk2Ag
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTUA3fRaxo
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ncDGWF5LW
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrS34qyGHa
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMyBR2lRtS
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1E6db3wtm
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoLn13B5fF
然而，大葆士卻是站在原處，一動也不動。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4zqA6IG0g
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgk1khM9r5
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi9CFqE3HM
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR4kWXztfT
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLgy2HzwPs
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpERYCQlsjM
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiSxPpcFCI
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2qVA2LYhK
「好的，殿下。」大葆士點頭。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN51GO8lIty
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqEOpdGjTZ
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhTgOI4xl6
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zw3NbDSGZ
「少校喜歡吃甜點嗎？」艾雀公主注意到大葆士在笑，於是問道。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqHksHe2o8
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKVHS0E2kz
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x7BiNXxAj
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNCx39QRVA
「請吃吃看。你喜歡的話，我可以再請御廚準備一份。」公主笑道。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvEPHL147U

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAv33GyxSv
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwumOZJGjHK
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyWtqj9ZSq
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N2YuN9QC4
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYknJOUkhzZ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTi3h1VZ20
「那……你都看什麼類型的？情感類的你會看嗎？」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T0CfnteD7
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ679rgyqMra
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDbuUxwwhV
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wX3YPwMHT
「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？」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS4uXOZWj5
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFlZOGbUdO
大葆士挑眉，公主見狀連忙打圓場。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1Uk3pMg7l
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmeaWvksoP
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHzJ7acmsV
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANPSd3O2LE
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOznT4HHxc
「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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJPoyhBq6C
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB875B2y1Zm
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRc4KxFwNb
「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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMDc4P3PfA
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAQp7ItZrb
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CzqWloIzR
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCCbAvi3FC
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hv9TnsdOT
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTJzbh6P8n
「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？」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RScaJHtLw
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEX8KC1fQp
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZhIirPwWd
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgQLu0imDz
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjFzk5wlOO
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCKOtv2ZQB
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HSZu6f5A0
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYNlKoATbc
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMRkbPPTLd
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC18FceUFK
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEFiZeWo3T
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfOxiDZE5T

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCPuT8HLBZ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcw2N201n8
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ZFkdeWHl
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEJNLHMfnv
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNN74hcHBq
「知道，殿下是模特兒。」大葆士回答，猜謎他可從來沒輸過。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubKJpXK81o
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqabZGRllLl
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vCzsMQ84Z
「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？」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk6Q6ndEna
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhjJPH9T0Q
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVXmRdFOdL
「殿下非常漂亮。」大葆士沒有多想的附和。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLCtHDrjBK
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e9XJ9RyPi
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNrvcnGVtK
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1rHVQKi1z
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLl80UCpwh
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmNmUi75tS

294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDXWvrp1ev
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK87vnlZxLQ
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！294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9NMtYQmLb
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmXkE6COzA
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGpU4VgtMy
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj32zN2jzbE

「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog18buem4M
