「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg8QRrv8RJ
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8reSHVcMs
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mhYxpSqmQ
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPnakV2aYx
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlErdEZalW
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYckia8CG4
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCQwfFhNs2
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2Rc1ucZjw
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUGjKTVSAc
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhv1qjMuFA
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QBd4D3WLI
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dqqCHQnWF
「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？」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxzDmYc02U
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJaTfaynxb
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5yfLFujOy
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKELFTTiCmG
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMAFlgLw8l
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9CPxLVqaJ
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfwRHgVKZZ
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8GgOJs9mE
「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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7OT8DfArk
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVkC4q2VxY
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRGMDlC18T
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4nu9ulHN5
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEaJ6fqmj9
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnCVvHG4q4
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmnZAUupsz
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrK6ypqhun
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBnsxAtXxV
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ992yZgnz
「幫忙？」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdXAN5lNAf
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZbg0EUd7U
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybXlCrBvQ1
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ExSnZkwBo
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHL2y2XC74
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRpUAVJg8c
「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。」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvXij8CumQ
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMMp08kbXq
「可、可是......」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIkK8yRnLz
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRtChD9QJS
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5WcF057mA
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O3FynFF2S
「啊......喔......」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9f3UVmnUX
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETgizDbR6Q
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHZUwXmR08
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc9u2D0qEe
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7g45idLtx
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHVzG4i8Bx
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnWKN7OYkf
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QHf9GnEyD
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！1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcoIpqaq1a
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg9d2sGWzR
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDIvsXw9ZB
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDEJPfWAmn
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDZJu7QahK
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYOKu5CdjK
不行！1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxy9oX3Ara
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlt011r0pv
她搖了搖頭。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByxHWL5cHu
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1KwsdeubQ
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0HbBKUdgW
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimywj9xsbm
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLdaGDYhXw
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbqqcfQgsK
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9x0rl30By
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0lhpW371I
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryoF95IjLt
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc9tFuItyB
「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。」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvW9BwFlVi
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGmvML9pRm
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T9VEMAQjX
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTVRFTrf4i
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkWcYhTkBz
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f8AqZme1e
「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。」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4C9p7r7Fe
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVZeKWlhAu
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y0b42d21x
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkoQuIOF5f
「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！」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwdiY03JZ2
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaEjf4sxti
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL6qBaVeq8
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sQlx8Tsqq
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFRCySrwWm
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXTSsQj1mc
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QeFwGZXJs
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp63Jn5eYLa
「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！」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DL4uGJ7vV
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc10fdQVfI
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiGURy9p48
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh4z8rIxsn
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6P0pcxiK1
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCndpnxUBO
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yhPRUEWYD
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifSXIL6vii
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq8LHBbrxo
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BgrtQtmSB
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！」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZXL4BMBMn
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwkvCBHF6W
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDkeiTOt4J
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8NnrZ2TDU
「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......」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1byRKWrJN
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yfg6oeptT
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvulvmJi4i
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFpgd9SMQ9
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdCACnrok8
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAoT78vPUS
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYCVD3hhob
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mc9MgT2w5
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWveCxZIAV
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbqdR2z5Q6
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ346ADwnGDw
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERIWiGk7wK
「不需要！」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72qIbvBk1p
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpjlu8pihj
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWLov9X88V
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepeLMwax8U
「又怎麼了？」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqPdqpW6YQ
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJADI4Gl4p
「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？」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ6bnOwLcG
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5ccU7o9Dl
「職責......」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlnLSsPjZD
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF1PZFfIH6
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PxwQcfBK6
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENGSnu9qbv
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLZpY9E703
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugdif9Weps
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce9mFq8fdq
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BzrcjZeE9
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkIbPtFeTy
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pOKBs8XJ1
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGAHrIrqn8
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmjiBITH9X
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsKaIoRZwJ
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApG360rvex
「嗯。」1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMOd7L5jJu
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNXro2e8RX
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj896oGR9ML
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxInHyRMR21
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！1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg3tG9RPni
1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaTJSLDd86
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。1050Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ21xGPEHLF
