「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYumonVjEsm
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5n4TuSxhu
烏爾莉卡的視線越過鬣狗少年的肩膀，看見另一名更嬌小......甚至稱得上消瘦的嬌小身影站在不遠處。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHNZAPFxec
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHhXZOTVSF
這名女孩才剛滿十歲左右，如銀雪般色澤的髮絲與跟烏爾莉卡幾乎一模一樣，可與母親冷冽且堅定的目光不一樣的是，她的雙眸則透漏一份出於擔心受怕、逆來順從的神情。即使周遭的天氣潮濕炎熱，而且羊毛服裝將她從頭頂到腳裸包裹得緊緊的，她瘦小的身子卻仍在微微哆嗦，宛如寒風中的落葉，一吹就會飛走。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8vnUGr6dY
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyZZeF0lhk
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KmmNid5Yh
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxdA8IxJKJ
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIKrNxJIzd
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx5tFRK2Dd
只見銀髮小女孩的肩膀一震；每當母親說出自己全名時，就代表她自己惹上麻煩了。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFsyWOyh4Z
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYsOho2C06
「你害媽媽擔心極了你知道嗎？妳怎麼沒告訴我就自己跑出去？」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FBh2UuWqp
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLlVUF2BGA
烏爾莉卡的雙眸乍一看泛著幾乎可稱之為冰冷的色澤，但面對女兒時卻實實在在充盈著、並釋放著無法忽視的溫暖熱度。只不過當她在詢問女兒時，著急的口氣中帶了點咄咄逼人的味道。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5WC9vjeFk
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw1N0lvkhO
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaagUfZ0Q3
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTCitX0ibj
直到此刻，烏爾莉卡才注意到女兒手上提著一只裝滿清水的木製水桶。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrp2saZaI9
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEIZh2qAFl
「是他叫你去提水來的？」烏爾莉卡狠狠瞪向一旁癱坐在地上，乾咳著的鬣狗少年。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNI8ELs2Rf
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BHbAzzty8
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yus0k0vGS
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwigEilttGe
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNYO6lIBop
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwX6ygUPU7
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFg7L2AaIF
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIxR7MvAmS
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNFuHi5S6z
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfjrvcAFd3
「幫忙？」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58J89opcUb
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5twDnQ57I
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvitSjjkB4M
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1HgdomVJL
女兒這句話頓時觸動了烏爾莉卡的心弦，一陣難以言喻的刺痛與哀愁湧向她的心頭。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgR0gpkkOH
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivDhWjGWzL
「傻孩子，挑水這種事交給我去做就行了。」烏爾莉卡說：「我們也可以向挑水夫買水呀。更何況水井又這麼遙遠，一路上可能會發生許多危險。」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWjMpSWkHZ
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bppEAQXS3
「可、可是......」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1Ik1UJDDP
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEo5maAQX6
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRFJhGRlb0
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yGinjMnHn
「啊......喔......」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml89N8x9dS
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QMkLn5a9w
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PJolo4EO7
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GjmmyY2Dv
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK61WsHza2
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8HCjWlPxD
有些時候她還真希望女兒能對她大聲嚷嚷想要什麼，而不是把所有心事一股腦的全往肚裡吞。這孩子內斂性格多半是從她那繼承下來的，但莎薇卻嚴重缺乏在必要時挺起胸膛、堅定信念的勇氣與決心。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtCNMMicnb
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8vDeiiIfj
烏爾莉卡輕嘆一口氣；畢竟莎薇自出生後就不斷遭遇各種變動——而且還都是負面的那一種！1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FnQErUPzY
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBovTAHsXlE
每況愈下的生活環境，讓莎薇連一個舒服的夏日午後都得引頸期盼，最終導致她對於未來缺乏期許。更別她的未來簡直能稱之為一片迷茫。烏爾莉卡常常見到莎薇臉上露出茫然無神的表情，就連那一雙大大的眼睛都顯得目光渙散。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9bbmuCWir
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KHBJM7bmg
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf6cJoVId8
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN6jx1dDLN
不行！1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzHxYlbNRj
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1TQc0nqsf
她搖了搖頭。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFXxsrliOO
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYLDenBGxR
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUGIOK4bzt
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY2HEezjSY
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sjTlqh2eB
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUoypeatWl
就在此時，烏爾莉卡的思緒被艾塔奇的喃喃自語給拉了回來。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq2FzSeyTR
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Flki34tcW
她轉過頭去，看見剛才被自己抓起來的鬣狗少年搖搖晃晃地重新站起身子，他的臉色似乎還有些蒼白。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi3YSaStLa
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFiOyaevfr
「下一次您又要找莎薇小姐的話，請別用這麼粗暴的方式。」艾塔奇邊說邊揉了揉自己發紅的脖子。「剛才是莎薇小姐主動找我去挑水，我一路上我都有看顧好她的安全。」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUSl6rdjV1
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d8FnZw5WX
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qQxEzUWVD
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoUlA9Qcbq
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD4AGALmqD
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyubuJhlyN
「就......就算是這樣，我也不放心將她交給其他人帶，更別說是頭野獸人了。莎薇是我人生的一切。假如她發生什麼萬一的話，我絕對饒不了任何人......或鬣狗。」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z9g0kF8vA
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ2oE0jFs0
烏爾莉卡本以為自己凌厲的目光會使對方膽怯，但艾塔奇反而直率地迎向她的目光。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr78ZkIMeN
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn79LhZGJmd
「這是當然的！」艾塔奇拍胸保證，一字一句都誠摯無比。「我清楚曉得莎薇小姐對您有多麼的重要，我會盡自己最大的力量來保護她！」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLffQ31X1P
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7wXvsZTdy
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hMTOeIK76
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjB3bMrhf8
烏爾莉卡不自覺地避開他的視線，對眼前這名少年坦率的言行有點招架不住。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMotzHzCmtc
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3gZeHRi8y
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ6Alo0E7o
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO4MFZjlFX
「您是我的女王。而我，出身於鬣狗獸族的艾塔奇，也曾發誓過女王的願望是我的願望！」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bk6bnifih
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm3yts3KTz
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkHQs30rIK
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprl52WfVjS
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz2jLQASGv
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOjcUBuLCA
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfQPwdfUBG
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsXUWCiILz
一位是他全心侍奉氏族族長，這是因為統治鬣狗氏族的皆是女子。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhrYSI8LSr
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpFhOTNjvY
烏爾莉卡夫人是我的妻子，所以我稱呼您為女王完全沒有問題！」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xlnstngn3
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WJ1IAdjnT
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjEBxxb9oP
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCid2RROfaQ
「可是我們倆已經在尼卡罕(nikah)——婚姻婚契上簽了名，從此我們倆就是夫.....夫妻了......」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnSTdq6BPP
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAotrh9qQ2p
烏爾莉卡忽然注意到艾塔奇雙頰泛起紅潮，只見他乾咳了幾聲，目光左右飄動，似乎不知道該看哪裡才好。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZEPVePnGE
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbtZQS7UvR
直到此時，烏爾莉卡這才發覺自己頭髮凌亂，幾縷銀色髮絲貼在脖頸上，脖子至鎖骨及雙峰處香汗淋漓。身上的白色羊毛上衣更是全被汗水浸溼，顯露出她曼妙姣好的身材。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELUSB9AqSm
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtlLdoH9Kf
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJni39uFzNn
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqk4nOQDE9
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrvEU1DijI
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY3hMBOpxo
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAadnpLeQtU
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTmOicuytU
「不需要！」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgntX15Q08
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH69iSTsLyu
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBXDXTdRBO
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukhiDhBlr5
「又怎麼了？」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI39ZlaVAaR
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdP0MNP9Uy
「您住在這也有一個多星期了，」艾塔奇紅著臉緩緩的低下頭，一臉羞澀地說：「是時候該盡一下妳的.....職責吧？」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Rd8OhYfR
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaokxJRM1ax
「職責......」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7sfUo5R18
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIQzl7lio6
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoAfYyWiaX
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiATZKVTnP
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfvD4KT1rP
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c2Aog1lkp
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn4VOw9h32
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjajC9x96x
可是當烏爾莉卡重新面向對方，她正巧一眼對上艾塔奇那雙誠懇溫暖、閃閃發光的眼眸。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVR1FcFu4m
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNL1f7JAoT
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FHllkHrCb
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKKmPFcsxs
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcQLjvi8IV
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVhlaZLsXe
「嗯。」1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AwoVTAZUT
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC77DEjoq5
烏爾莉卡冷漠地點了點頭，然後轉身離去。但是在那張冰冷面孔之下，卻是一個正在吶喊的靈魂。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwceiCkEtZ
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFuj7wq64Y
我明明是個三十歲的婦人，為什麼這個十二歲的男孩會成為我的丈夫啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzNf50KmoP
1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEnrXla5M0
內心被這份難以言喻的困惑所衝擊，使得烏爾莉卡不禁回憶起自己過往的人生，以及不久前發生的那齣重大事件。1156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIZharzzgk
