「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8vdt38vol
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eYiV2bTpK
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWQj07l1hT
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCxlg2dcI6
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHGpSgKiOb
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmqB5xoZ5J
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbfAUCkyJ7
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXttpiuZFWm
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2memar07q0
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ27lAkSmG3
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnmefx5rQk
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMWqoy0Ae8
「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？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kBQBkjRJG
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagTJ7USAhG
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V18qHCNcU
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHUWF68FAv
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cT0GGOOZt
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUvxyUvSgf
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVUsGERtk2
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxReeQjsMbZ
「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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1iY6fGjSv
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuttv3MYSo7
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnsiOjlpyD
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvVnPEasWv
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrywNYK8Y6
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UGF1VtUFD
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDs8yMt45g
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZTFwOmhpi
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUhKR8aOHN
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2njvfsoi7
「幫忙？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuH5j05ekY
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHY8zvcprK
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vhh01uwqA
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZFmGjCIH5
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhhJ8VP4wN
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZSa73sj5K
「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。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUahYvbupn
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04NGyDHkek
「可、可是......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnMUlwOqyD
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2bZFa03Ks
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFampiSJR6
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC9KLvzj91
「啊......喔......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS1eZR418c
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmyo6RcjyX
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i12JFUfVz
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCLzKWBo7e
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlElzq3AC47
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tBrnXYk9f
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg3MVZg9L3
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvQUaWQcnG
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！1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RAm9rlHcP
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVXGnKIFra
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSAYXqSdKe
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6c1fhtieb
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkvxA06hHF
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTfKilcYaa
不行！1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlXvk2fJpL
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wWPsTsZ4L
她搖了搖頭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h0y2Of2PO
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh2epfSsNK
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvTcOwb0om
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F8FI8W0LX
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDGHrH2rmo
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBjYaEwMvO
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxdRZdyyOn
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlrPUv3Zic
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPmrWa14P1
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HDR3ddvi0
「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。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDVvAy5kIE
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn1ZSEdt8u
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfxeFdA2hZ
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9vk35bRAC
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRwdTmyjsc
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRssn0xemz
「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。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKwI1jkv2A
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXg2uFKh6L
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFQc3wn78f
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O6jPYL2pl
「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！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gUzjTHkF0
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUCX2lzR6g
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B0HzCkbzn
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpZYCVHVtE
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5zljE3eJD
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdw2Ai2OO2
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TIFMdm4K3
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8NpHuEE8M
「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！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ded2vS0W7
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzlRuZLCqW
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Vckxhc3a
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB88tnPaNsZ
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrDty1D8Rc
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfZojurpKh
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdNM84ftbn
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXF9SgK2yL
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtI0PU5umX
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wFqsfBsxA
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！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7wcDoQCu7
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaBoGwMQmz
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyn06wswlO
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0U0n6GOrl
「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......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG3SkXk0aZ
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMVhauWtpN
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL0Ac1mmDE
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWiJghzqZx
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqIjICN94z
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBh8Z3LtVK
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFEIVyuIlb
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1VlR9NAa7
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVoVr9W5Lz
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRag0oAUvJU
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSgJGOkBbQ
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON3jBz1igx
「不需要！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2rl1NpigX
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTMaLdOWd6
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1lbVg4Y1N
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ylkdJdJ30
「又怎麼了？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIImoUuOGP
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduScpP3sMh
「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？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxUSmup2vJ
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ0JOvrrFc
「職責......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi5yj9ZSlc
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SceoGMPaI
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbRZPtgdkO
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclqyMFJnXa
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl80eoKGXZy
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1WfVWhWbC
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn643fgSXMH
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjVKerdx9y
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYI4Hn94PZ
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV0I0y6Mr5
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiFUlW6N1u
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkCrgqQakO
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFserfsA7tC
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBjMqGcRTM
「嗯。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc9wKmZIB0
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsicL7TAVAM
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Ui3ZEtCl
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KUpzvYtSX
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！1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxpW0uDYxW
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVJsqEmPEP
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47EFNwP0Ox
