「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpz6Cvuzx4
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTaDmLT1Zz
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIqAbfiLYa
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExwhYSeRPv
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dTvs3O37m
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNQsVGxRZV
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB63FoqmWX
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lyVx17XKX
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaGefDeuuD
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcSmMRbHIh
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEtMFlORtD
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsox3PxAqI
「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？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA9siV2OdG
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64wrpLxuaK
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMUoers9jE
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNKf387Sou
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfZn8XJafT
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMTL5hozMo
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot8Y0iY7fg
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyrgr6hwOM
「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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIqDKAnKc5
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3Vsrrt6G1
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbVMmdDjlt
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTNZmjAWEM
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS49Ae9rKp
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvutH7ozZbe
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU0ZB6id5J
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqcikfwhHL
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjnF6YXErY
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuhv14TlQQ
「幫忙？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrh0p63HAR
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKbCH117T5
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1N8bCE33O
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfLy7l86RU
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP36M0HYHX
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKzlQLBo8O
「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。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyJQerasWU
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2e4ythDlw
「可、可是......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuxyNksgZP
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HiihYn4gB
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULxEPil1fn
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIhtsJlRtS
「啊......喔......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw6Q2jZ5pp
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dUSpC0sgZ
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw9LbMu3NW
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB63AEHsmCr
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VabmGfvdW
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8cd7WlOAT
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFYz8SmLfE
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3VghBsiKf
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！1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsMaJFQu75
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RLHWxhGzi
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QemMae7ry
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZZfctEUvj
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR70HXIKvK
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHALnUAsIjp
不行！1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb5OFdiulh
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0Ze4E7wUU
她搖了搖頭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkkzIUvGeS
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EK47Wv3LZ
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbdW2HazpO
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eDisTTCe5
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QMNL6wA05
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqK8tfTfGA
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLfg2Wwifs
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYIIydydCw
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu63oYA2mXg
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP2XKlWnTh
「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。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTheMCcepp
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6G7fYJmKj
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaaDDh8Gay
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQp4RIUJ5N
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BgwkzkDz4
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkQYI4zSDg
「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。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6S6vrOIRV
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOfBt6IR6m
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM0UUxaocm
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslW9I9tEAY
「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！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZYcPCCn3Y
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5DTXVRXuf
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l2oTyilOO
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzzdhcsvxT
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvhTxUbEQ7
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mKkIb6CY7
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bfl6CZI0N
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFAiyzFc1i
「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！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs7oNatlIf
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuAFlUZvRc
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9zJlIszrI
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO5VX93ubM
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbgxTZtW2Y
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmehSaET8F
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P1JlsPJWD
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqYpeS6Zce
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyMhamwsbC
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIgJlKpEJN
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！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct1yev95Tl
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFnr2RPjGN
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvVJaALrlW
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ721il8q19s
「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......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSplxi6yJg
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S9l6MftYN
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyocv3fSWOU
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdROgDn5DK
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShJTnJF5cJ
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zRkhDaZsx
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLwixoMyfw
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr4MRlneFU
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUO0ze3vK3
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRU3FRxTfM
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgayOPfUJg
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z3S1f1uft
「不需要！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtk4RGtZs1
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvMyeUPRML
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLdDcX4ZNH
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5GBhJRpfE
「又怎麼了？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkU3UGqcPO
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKTuALNzhV
「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？」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUUxGjFOnG
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP4siquajt
「職責......」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzSc8TeFs4
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVTu0Avu5j
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUyXMwtSn9
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZkrZCXm4i
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcUx22IXvY
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4TpHnYhQ1
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNZDfc5BRb
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DMlr9JElh
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxpceHdc06
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPOUc6Uec9
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrLN63p8AG
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxVNS6O65M
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeMUc8iMkI
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNslVMHgQNQ
「嗯。」1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXLMN9icxG
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOST3K09KzP
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEafeqtgWv
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtJPJ4Zefo
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！1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Gc71hFyx
1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7d0sKNePQ
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。1191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeuRzqQ2Gz
