「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSGrIvyYlb
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcagUvqFlb
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtpVJ0csa2
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJpu1INw2L
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wjCHZHPa5
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdgpGctwfM
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9mGQGTTOV
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2euXgz4as3
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVbgBLw1rp
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn7Ck8bKuA
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xlgF3Qq8N
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rexbPILvn
「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？」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqP5aqnGAW
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C189aZgO2
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeuYfUH7l2
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ5a4BEy2w
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqZbMENEMp
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCJ2xVwJws
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcGdtKbMbI
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeKex4u891
「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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQgYgUaGcm
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87gQn20Nnz
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Pzdep5Hl
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMscktYUpkW
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNVAJLu7pX
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXZVYflbPV
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4dyXa06sa
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft44wxwuwT
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeQGoQwftR
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvfur0Mdux
「幫忙？」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOiZCBiwb3
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPry2zIVsT
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9gGYVUSkE
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwOyYR129v
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXsLiz7rvt
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp4U7MEFcZ
「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。」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXnBWW9Fcc
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGJczT9wSb
「可、可是......」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyqVRlD1gB
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEHZsluUJq
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL8qfM8Ll7
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAPZXkjrNd
「啊......喔......」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4QhhHVGEq
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlDqOjk58F
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3VOdzL0zf
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaWZyjG5B1
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsMzNkkKAK
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP5CRrVGKI
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoXcITlHB4
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY9p98oTrU
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！1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0R3QUTcgn
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKAubmelFv
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjLcS5xTs7
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkjhRmAbCG
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnq6sgfpOG
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFqUe0wWqH
不行！1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEYdp6TaNY
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnOV3dHZTg
她搖了搖頭。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnmkmeEuqc
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WeVoQKemb
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC3Iv7Jyr1
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1z16uisVe
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPf90CIh5H
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4evs8cNgN
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXUInzUFXc
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9eklVrQNQ
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAJ56orblb
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDLxvuDPhb
「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。」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SBd0hiNiU
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPNkfRfvPz
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZHL9tS0EA
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T4snZUTYu
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBaSF5vZ5N
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMhlVa3IRk
「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。」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPZBFBmu5o
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0gRweSpOI
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZekwBvBVy
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv9Qq2P57u
「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！」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIrbivDFgl
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKKAxCnIsC
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2Uvmemmjy
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ225OtX7y9G
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZOxXHPuGZ
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoFlGbsLrD
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ866uxscHul
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO6bx7GrzT
「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！」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwAFX3N5bL
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EoTE2eEhQ
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h6NzHHnmr
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRd2qpzfgt
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nEgtMLg8L
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aI7WZKMyt
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ01KjaUnEv
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6nT63chzZ
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmIFQAyUic
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONUm9HkqGC
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！」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdhZneh5z9
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnc0ZW5vRE
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QwJOIyuiK
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNljnESbJwg
「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......」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yb1wO0AhZ
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIppnsyljY
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7FPdi0KIA
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNjWPv1O1r
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Sbts6wYz
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbrRlPrRv4
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNdOehC4bu
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1YWjNhomD
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUWfi8y2uE
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdT7sHUX2V
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51n8MZGKR5
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBKq7a4Xa2
「不需要！」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdq8UepJZ9
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3UX0Ejx1p
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B37HFx0P3
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSgifKsAYs
「又怎麼了？」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozg6orjwUv
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCg0uLFq0x
「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？」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YfDWrvuLf
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlPvDhWfxK
「職責......」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rRqNDHYsm
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeOKw9sYzc
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTje6EIg0vG
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrXcvNrPAK
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInVDB7xjue
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS789N4Ujmj
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVEl12CmWs
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kbRDpkaoi
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps8koV4ryF
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEJRAbnEp7
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd9HskNv1E
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiyxpD73tF
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqjTq8klSO
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiKHQ8DoA7
「嗯。」1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9HISvyz5O
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UtrVj2uZk
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLV4su25UR
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQmc4u2i4R
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！1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovPOfQa4GE
1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lVqFubhds
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。1080Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLSSUsuT7n
