「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcZK36fOEE
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4DeFChf18
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAU9pgJy4p
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvksuytOggr
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2U79rgHym
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtAm6uIWQz
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AwzZpu61F
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY8Qb22hFR
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAdzMDsIMH
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAGNTh2vPX
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeYY44eWCz
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEEEBEcOqX
「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？」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yck3HtPil
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjyIBh5h6O
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ980gE2Q67I
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDFLW12jTr
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj3jbNbx1V
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UzXO1Oasd
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFw0xRqry9
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaGV9PHDR4
「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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQl8yujGSp
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0rlaK3zN5
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfmeeZeZZ1
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTQ0eL60vl
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNCZ803IKp
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEkAp9OnYT
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM2bXZQnLo
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuxGJZdUDY
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fQARxR6Kf
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkV4cVSQJR
「幫忙？」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMsk17Dude
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStENfRVBj8
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QYxTq9ssc
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0ceE9mPuD
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkVhkzSLSC
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoylnWGi6ol
「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。」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAREb8UeRf
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8koA4V9VLc
「可、可是......」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNt4xoEIUI
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuLKh6ak6T
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHyWu1LqEv
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g8fpXiA8K
「啊......喔......」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozYEU4PSii
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr7gV3ZBzB
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O5YN02f3W
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdPmZfQ4IQ
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCiyzMB80M
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1wmys2FAR
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9wvZdOj5h
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbexQ1c9Ws
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！1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpotyuP1y8
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IJCpOARnX
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwKgVa9u51
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81KDc9FaaH
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYeYjROAtL
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzv1e1JEwZ
不行！1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VbHppRDJo
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XoHkf3fO2
她搖了搖頭。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkSKLoWrZr
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtYNazJ1eE
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdX2W8m6Wp
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBz7Nkukm4
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKpujp5J1G
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIsuMSJdzD
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ821L9yRHX0
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDNw1xBQDz
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4A2sx2CwK
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEtie34eSo
「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。」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHrKAfcE81
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeoRGD3z1N
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb5DnSRyza
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdtsUbQHlo
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3rLQde5eZ
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasOjCwrBuE
「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。」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU6loJT1oA
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpmvbLRgvy
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ylxDUR6bm
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBFcgVczAB
「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！」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfVJMnWowX
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lC0cR53d4
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIGVP6KyIN
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpf8sfQKTd
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXfxbWeBdD
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF4jPxFL2g
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Hq3pxhDs
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ6DXQXm1I
「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！」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkzZFtjL1f
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wwe0mvuLj
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIVYMTAhfp
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZAxg9VN9R
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrepkh9U4I
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv1ENdCiDP
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYfxmSs0ct
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh4fJsMfmJ
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyekHPJZB3
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeIyLZnTFQ
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！」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAWf7fB8ov
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwZhM3CfE8
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqdTX3Mo36
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVb50803BH
「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......」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRt7k2S64D
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XOhQ3bLyu
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5NmrXwwrl
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR5fP7QlHR
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprxB3GYgac
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh4X1MS8nh
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjojWaHwIb6
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhh1KbgBVh
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIdHN8hEj3
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jd20XerBW
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8MBCzji3A
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgRi21QETU
「不需要！」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6upuQZmods
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0S1m8ODqy
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDOHsAe1gI
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6myJR9OXX7
「又怎麼了？」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24AvFq5x3a
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJPgGbS5hE
「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？」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpksHBbFdNM
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDyAaWfcJW
「職責......」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrBoM0IPqE
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee8rGid7Is
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswtWkuBe8i
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY25JG0NXjN
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9H8tzYLHj
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiZY2hDEge
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDUTyOVRuk
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWO3X5bymx
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyB7EHQulP
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQddigmYvIW
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0E6Wb8Hqf
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkr5GYALU5
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRzLiZPEE5
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEFcGD1tR9
「嗯。」1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWd8MmXLm6
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdgNmkkqN3
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS18HO7Vn14
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpHLss8JXb
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！1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA1l6er3cc
1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQWzJlYUEA
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。1127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNEgxVhtXk
