「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RW4gcxzN6
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NPYgm8lyy
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEuRazKI6q
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLzRCilQtu
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVNx2EEHqZ
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A9RbHeGxR
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lkGlZ7yyB
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOgiXKdAeL
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKnxSfdFB8
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wUsVVUjip
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZUiBN4LA0
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2aWda9PPE
「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？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBP6h3NuXr
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXbq3NLrvM
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3oCloU9KC
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhgHewLHlM
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRM2PL25Sc
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIprHyWzuV1
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmHrbBHuwN
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD62E8M8ClY
「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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlXN7L0MdS
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjiSTEQmG3
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqroW2c9EkL
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQVw70NbZZ
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1cC4Dxc4Q
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmetbdIt1b
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAzUlX7W2B
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq4WuF1msh
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzxFR1JZjU
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPBcjG3Pid
「幫忙？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXjttovT4u
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpgv7mKFOz
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf1hKw1vVo
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OmxqsMuhq
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqKAg1nzlW
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAN7HnoZWV
「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。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4GXT1e6zN
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPcIFRKmJA
「可、可是......」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5oVWvi4FD
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKuIzlogws
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0869KAgzjQ
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOW5HSejsJ
「啊......喔......」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU8yCPW09g
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZKXmssaNe
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPRoY9ys6z
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WK8alzhsl
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4iGrroa1F
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9huLEgZiI3
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXw4zkPrS1
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5KD1tvcO1
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！1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvP7GkuRNL
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa2yPE83Hr
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIitDRMURNs
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUsfiJV5QG
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQZ2z3Mj0K
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5j3hFKjDG
不行！1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO4WufYeV5
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkOMdR86bf
她搖了搖頭。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2ghpZv4RO
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaFQvjmgEB
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaAA8tbNwp
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnrmuEH5os
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FzRd1WmYs
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZFsxxXsjM
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MtOvWRNlP
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOh5FsA0SS
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThlBQsiNC9
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjI1AaNwkt
「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。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5mDeoYi7X
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BclDhTRXR
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyvJym8L3r
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6goHtLuIs
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvqxBtkUOl
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2iFZoyUay
「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。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtThe1EglXs
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmWdWanPhz
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVat5S77nvB
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KcY0MEAkR
「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！」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVhfYB5MfO
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jUs3HLiDG
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh5rxcpEmS
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CFINyPECI
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNH1wUUvL0
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRES5tshkSp
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNFLQofwAf
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWfQYLYEF0
「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！」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28EnIkwq0d
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF5Gd718g7
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZhsvnypHQ
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSF26pwsUG
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs8OCjwEjL
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9obEifD69H
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHDsl70LmY
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMWoUhKkNV
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIkcov1DOX
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RmLb2X22g
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！」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxP3NjqBy3
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DOu033YEU
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfiW9oORpZ
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsCgELYMYt
「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......」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvuWso60Is
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpbEYWvLAs
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJhSfDV33G
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fjIxIL9FK
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD8YnZ1Pc7
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtq3iOhGsq
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eb2g20gHs
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBagTelxzDV
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDLkLUZQnm
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5jaIWJ9RN
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMfyA4YxHX
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQykHsggrf
「不需要！」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77S3qM6xtY
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSxGLyRkTD
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjYS4ZQiCM
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrqNHKafvP
「又怎麼了？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptrVhduM3G
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGXsVAshy9
「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？」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIcWCxp0wx
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnywFBJcXg
「職責......」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioFHo2kVFs
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfrIzUPzPF
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTgC2ddp1r
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTWVUjlMe8
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNApFFA5Aq
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvGVuMRBlL
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWTd31KhRE
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbgkbvudbo
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU8APyTbeE
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl2b7Rju6N
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35SSZmhvRR
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt5ZR0MUdI
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wldg8U1QS
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2GEQ6EGgH
「嗯。」1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5x8jfiOjE
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6dGgf6sjl
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM6gSA74AN
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CPzshway6
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！1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMubvF5OINf
1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ls9TudX7t
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。1105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b8JbwmtxG
