「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA06QFCfPLP
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gEsCJ3lYU
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxJDN325Io
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRgY8rvQ8V
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq2eKk07O2
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD7Gaa0D8w
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTdZovAbh6
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWlERnjHHt
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpSiXexsXR
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPoZLEvfnl
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4haXgILl4J
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODL0anYTrV
「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？」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKeGp7iIaF
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwValbGVdz
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iGDRfuVgg
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrddpYm4P9
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DT3fJpQxU
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1MtJ1Nzem
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5HWL1T6lG
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD2YfCPV12
「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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkMPimw186
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ7s79nxoq
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDWBYFoaCn
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbameZIl00
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAZzBjmW07
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61GTX35WpN
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKIKBJyUrJ
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmMY6UQM2s
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQNmnkPn86
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV24ApnOzwp
「幫忙？」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8pqhFBNM4
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY4p81xQoS
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT3CSuQrq4
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi22c0GjRj
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZC4w6qPh9
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbCYipwp7j
「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。」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8nbVs1kTP
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrfkYxxHwZ
「可、可是......」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKALVJrNRn
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOlUqRHXDQ
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpDWMjJcb8
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OlztVGius
「啊......喔......」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYs2Lf2DlP
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKENLPncSF
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS5QCodQzd
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCnysP0PPi
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmJHF1y3vv
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnvia5BuNR
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvviLYpo4hf
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUp1HLkEiX
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！1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTekfv7NHMt
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerct5TlIZ2
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ0xgACMqt
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94Mzx9mWmO
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQbbM7dqsB
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I9CiZcdNz
不行！1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dN3jy1xAg
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxZtEeumWp
她搖了搖頭。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHMtTYvxmi
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgSNkTUEoR
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDak2ssXSGs
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZrvH8G5Oh
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX1tfViRhC
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wq5s1ZVYv
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIQCQdECQ5
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RYkAEEKrZ
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFl5eZKEvx
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPivWHtDZwW
「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。」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N9DKxvTkw
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqOrdo6a0y
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOT2Q6Si2N
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMamnsr6dR
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj2wNJkJb1
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj586WWI9vC
「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。」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvAn1Aqkwr
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtjGk41xtN
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4vS6ZhDAV
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01il9Z1gDQ
「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！」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVkruPEJcO
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVw0hDPYCk
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BohCk50bo
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZxSzxX1oX
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98eQh42uf6
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjLOoFuyil
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBfEkAaQ6H
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyVhaogN20
「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！」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo7o8BkrJp
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCU1X3hZk3
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtsBfJlGHK
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPUYzJzJ2j
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL22y703SV
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JNP6DtaNJ
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJRlSH1tx1
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpKhdGpPdn
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYujxLT8a1
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojobrUNPig
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！」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8U82liHmi
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi58RoqvZsP
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevQOqiHwUX
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3RDZpcqnr
「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......」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYeVVIeefN
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E7dGMlhYe
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwnf3lQYnH
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCW05anMLj
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbENLGvfJY
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxa3ZJrrni
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKnMUO3Ikg
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QEoeSeS8t
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBAd9E8Yop
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaiuLpnbHb
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ05rMsLHzl
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP191QRxZ4
「不需要！」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0oWw8A56M
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASi5BhDSHU
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kePWv0OCT
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mU641gygd
「又怎麼了？」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mDESdRhqw
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIVsl5hR2K
「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？」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyBcgBq77p
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeObr0QxOwg
「職責......」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLvMdqPOfV
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRBfakD1mr
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVFygDojnk
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkAu4PmRVG
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iA1JOx8U1
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz2uIVD96F
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb2NbPpq0E
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX8GUYGHcd
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZjetUQyH4
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPnqMbz50F
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYabKEXevF1
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasDteb2vHp
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5b96tWvD9
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9DRNmhfz3
「嗯。」1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhM4csDkXy
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G4PgH7sEa
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz4EbJt0Zm
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoheiOMRDmm
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！1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlcEHIwCMU
1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUzWGsGqcI
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。1132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl85eiAPlp
