「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgI4jaDi0l
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW2mXgauoj
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz1dd09vSx
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmECec1cz1r
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8VeB3F0CI
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo97Z7RHdCA
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrucskSEaWj
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOqZ4aZXNi
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA8f6huEoM
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuKyQtxpvp
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnsE9ji3Ey
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHAhyIQ4R1
「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？」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3FXZY5YKz
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3DE8yW4M0
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEEgWqvdk7
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVxIN3I2At
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKbfuns1T1
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDZATK9jYj
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX9tzfACZp
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKegV2TeJK
「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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXuE0m6j6v
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9l3liZoZP
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoruWxjYMNU
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UOfT6SrKU
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbJv0z2UF3
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku4s20VE6d
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjbM3mXfbb
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLG84CAEXK
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgTTfhnCZf
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznHMRJxdJu
「幫忙？」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzZlhuQ6pp
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b9pzHgk1t
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzjo7VCCq9
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pXLiuA0Yk
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1jDN1E55h
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0PSUo1oJH
「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。」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V5wllnsvQ
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxluv53n6Xr
「可、可是......」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF89k4Cn09x
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyaEhCPMaB
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCqGZL2Uds
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXpSlCbWq7
「啊......喔......」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4b5wxlCwu
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1D8o8cdkf
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7CpInOX7H
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDHxm3Nstl
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QV6rZ7tmc
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D3cyELike
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ucMiTobam
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx8fPQaKS7
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！1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9FP2tIkJg
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGCinOiDyu
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORWXwkoND9
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDUhWQahVn
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mdTYKGeqf
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxkQPzZ3Od
不行！1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXHrz3Yc43
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVv44gDiJX
她搖了搖頭。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52Fg6RvclN
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2SHreAeJ4
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Yt6bgrin
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FGQ4uHvQ7
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX6eQ8juDd
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ8ZG381zr
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxQNTQWU06
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9hfo8KTSH
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTe38k9r93
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo55P1ENsz
「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。」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMydMXpBDva
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo0J2SKLyF
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFOHOl7Awa
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6bK6zrAQ1
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwES7WBZ9V0
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AcPHHOkKi
「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。」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElhrpAaok9
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjLzK6gGvK
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0KLxSwdsb
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcldurLubr
「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！」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FcKISIYNZ
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcaiCSwBAV
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXCfovSg5R
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxQAE3H5ow
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B19JlCjw9
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HFdCrw3La
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl1WbgDXfE
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviJLmlRy9l
「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！」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzY2SOYYgi
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPXBoVwwWB
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iSmbLEyZ6
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUApYIeXnq0
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtD0UHTAfp
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U4USXJD57
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT3DtsBm5g
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZJ5huCuEq
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4G3WEiIdV
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf0D7FSnUA
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！」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr9cVgx35N
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryDougPyVq
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKA2W1e2M7
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms81GaSqt5
「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......」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUWSgPv4hs
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4lB3vsipA
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZthR7s8Jw
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCGQcW09my
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJaZpO1TCp
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbmt7mqTyb
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunhJa61lF4
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4c24sNCFX
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYMMhqqRZr
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv50ZOr9RuH
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ041UasubBk
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIYKhrRNJ0
「不需要！」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Ijo6EdWM
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOamGyoc2d
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVLZSrtgAP
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDEVae5k7T
「又怎麼了？」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImjFupqCnI
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIAllkjALI
「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？」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZg1H5gSFM
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuvrEQ4WtD
「職責......」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS2sfIr7KD
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdynXfZgFI
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAbEeUunV8
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRyzYWyJqa
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn5iKbSAzH
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzZiV7XtsH
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpwMAg7EvC
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67cHJxnMTH
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjACPqwZxC
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqxiQonETY
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qbfC7udrV
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ExcncyCXu
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDIrBevBoY
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLuTdec7qC
「嗯。」1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTEekqovaH
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgHq8IwE6b
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEuZS86Etw
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wxtfAYcN1
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！1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBxS5at4tr
1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVCxnJtCAQ
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。1155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljGt4OPlq5
