精靈族的壽命目前最長到一千年。他們的特徵是金黃色的頭髮、白皙的皮膚、尖尖的耳朵、修長的身型。舉止優雅、目光靈敏、慧心巧舌。136Please respect copyright.PENANA0AOjS6OYXF
136Please respect copyright.PENANAkclRBw7Q5v
他們善良且愛好和平,所以不太會干涉其他國家的內政,不過也有到各國去奉獻的族人。136Please respect copyright.PENANAeKWcOwfyMJ
136Please respect copyright.PENANAX0Vgakb1pQ
精靈族會成為遊俠、魔法師、祭司,也有為了保衛家園的戰士。136Please respect copyright.PENANAwjM7C82LL5
136Please respect copyright.PENANAYGIQ0g4pqu
精靈族的伊德里爾是一名祭司,曾經服侍過諸多王朝。目前在遠方的小國擔任王國裡的祭司。136Please respect copyright.PENANAB1igrdkRNn
136Please respect copyright.PENANAIpWnnvzMO1
這裡的人民和她一樣喜歡平靜安穩的生活,所以跟隨現任國王搬到了遠離其他大國的大陸上生活。136Please respect copyright.PENANAIfxMXFuNSe
136Please respect copyright.PENANATu06iimTtB
伊德里爾在這受到了人民和國王王后的推崇與尊愛。她慈愛、聰慧且和藹可親,宛如天界派來造福人類的使者,是人們理想中的女性。136Please respect copyright.PENANArB9H6bLLEa
136Please respect copyright.PENANAZNtd4foH9z
據說她至今未曾有過伴侶,這使得眾多男性蠢蠢欲動,向她投遞不少求愛和傾慕的書信。遺憾的是,她全都婉拒了。136Please respect copyright.PENANAh02vJteM49
136Please respect copyright.PENANA5HwSZlAbD4
然而,在這熙來攘往的人群裡,伊德里爾眼裡冒出了一道白色的光。136Please respect copyright.PENANAvnie6ueAxh
136Please respect copyright.PENANAR101Fk0rbI
騎士團的其中一位騎士──阿特里奇。136Please respect copyright.PENANAxnAntbOguG
136Please respect copyright.PENANAdW8OlzEpgM
她性格冷峻,宛如一面大理石牆。雪白的頭髮、高挑的身材、蒼白的肌膚搭配銀白的盔甲,讓她更像是坐穩在城中心噴泉的騎士雕像。136Please respect copyright.PENANAZccxK7NeX2
136Please respect copyright.PENANAKxbte3VVCK
與其說她不善交際,倒不如說她只專注於閒話家常以外的事──保護國家、幫助弱者。136Please respect copyright.PENANAKS9QSQfMhQ
136Please respect copyright.PENANAaAiPYl7KHv
孤兒的她某天被國王收容並訓練成為國為民的正統騎士。136Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZIvJIYX2a
136Please respect copyright.PENANAXVTYE23E6n
鮮少人見過她的喜怒哀樂,神態對她而言只不過像積木塔的中間層,就算抽掉也無關緊要。136Please respect copyright.PENANAtgHVs1k4Qz
136Please respect copyright.PENANAQYPyAnm9BG
伊德里爾第一次見到阿特里奇是在與國王和王后的一次茶會,國王親口指認阿特里奇為自己的守護騎士。136Please respect copyright.PENANACXO5vvA7lb
136Please respect copyright.PENANAsWgPvercn3
那一刻,她將阿特里奇視為大人給小孩的一顆糖。小心謹慎地收進心盒裡,並期待將來嚐到的時候究竟會得到什麼樣的體驗。136Please respect copyright.PENANAvXqrBgxyAB
136Please respect copyright.PENANAqEQvVFErny
陽光明媚的早晨,阿特里奇身著軍裝、手握於腰間單手劍劍首,挺直胸膛站在王宮花園裡的白色露天涼亭前,眼前是一片人造的碧綠池塘。136Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6BiMaIPMb
136Please respect copyright.PENANAwlLdfAIt8I
她的視線自始至終沒有離開過立於湖中的女人。136Please respect copyright.PENANAiyUU35YEaw
136Please respect copyright.PENANAMMEoKT39yi
和煦的暖光灑落在女人的編髮上,向外散發金黃色的光芒,說是天使下凡也不令人意外。136Please respect copyright.PENANAuyoGmSkuHv
136Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ0SFiFSgU
玲瓏有致的體態、潔淨純白的祭司服、細縫成眼的祖母綠瞳、水波粼粼的湖面、綠葉成蔭的樹林,將所有素材拼湊起來足以構成一幅世界名畫。136Please respect copyright.PENANAGDuIvT4urF
136Please respect copyright.PENANAQNmuPQniZv
這一切不禁讓阿特里奇看得出神。136Please respect copyright.PENANABev6vTH7c8
136Please respect copyright.PENANARbkrl7tGmB
不。136Please respect copyright.PENANALweJrg73b6
136Please respect copyright.PENANAASyElmtP6J
她心想,只要是個人,肯定會被伊德里爾的容貌吸引。136Please respect copyright.PENANAwUqc0INwtf
136Please respect copyright.PENANAk1jlSIJB37
欣賞美的事物乃人類的天性,更何況眼前是全國上下被譽為女神般存在的伊德里爾。136Please respect copyright.PENANA1FhH0ag6vh
136Please respect copyright.PENANA1GcbGcfNAe
噗通。136Please respect copyright.PENANAffvKfcS6sH
136Please respect copyright.PENANAsSpzLJ4s5e
阿特里奇聽見了有東西落入水中的聲音。136Please respect copyright.PENANA4N78xGPjIo
136Please respect copyright.PENANAYVPRHiQxRN
兩顆眼珠如幻燈片閃過般迅速地眨了又眨,將靈魂之窗裡朦朧的景象掃去以及奪回意識的掌控權。136Please respect copyright.PENANA6NuSWuw9FA
136Please respect copyright.PENANA0F9GsaYo5H
……原本置身於池中的女人消失了。136Please respect copyright.PENANAudWKGaIts4
136Please respect copyright.PENANApTbAdarnCT
阿特里奇全身明顯一震。她竟然會看丟了如此引人注目的人。左看右看,甚至連根髮絲都沒瞧見。136Please respect copyright.PENANAAsSx2pT2a6
136Please respect copyright.PENANAfFs7w0RMiV
最後,她將目光聚焦在池中央。136Please respect copyright.PENANA5CDdGi9iTQ
136Please respect copyright.PENANAfetNjhwOcP
「該不會……」136Please respect copyright.PENANAUs2UGRGigR
136Please respect copyright.PENANAxgOP4Saxyq
阿特里奇索性拋開如氣球那般飄上頭頂的雜念,也不管身穿多厚重的衣服,朝池中縱身一躍。136Please respect copyright.PENANAJizeCIht2l
136Please respect copyright.PENANAFbGjHoIi9g
果真如她所猜想──女人仰面且緊閉雙眼,正緩緩地下沉中,宛如被拋下海的金銀財寶。136Please respect copyright.PENANACIHZmNpaxV
136Please respect copyright.PENANAy4Tamhpj8s
阿特里奇兩手向外猛力一劃,雙腳努力擺動,朝著女人的下方前進。136Please respect copyright.PENANAArTixqRrRX
136Please respect copyright.PENANA7F3ZP6jgdL
最終她以扶住女人的背部以及手穿過膝蓋彎曲處,呈公主抱姿勢將她救起。136Please respect copyright.PENANAFQltVR0M2F
136Please respect copyright.PENANAJwSZZSPCfe
「噗哈……」阿特里奇衝破水面,忍受著衣物被水浸潤後緊貼肌膚的不適感,拖著沉重的腳步將女人抱上岸並輕輕地平放於草皮。136Please respect copyright.PENANAvbFsk7bliI
136Please respect copyright.PENANAJj1YhjkeYI
阿特里奇將瀏海撥向耳背,準備側耳傾聽女人是否還有心跳。136Please respect copyright.PENANAhnlouAlCix
136Please respect copyright.PENANAW5arAfq9x0
「……」
「妳想測試我不必用上生命。」阿特里奇又將瀏海喬回原來的位置。136Please respect copyright.PENANA5WoJRzdcwz
136Please respect copyright.PENANAz99rmgFnpL
伊德里爾先撐開一隻眼偷瞄阿特里奇,一邊調皮地說著「被發現了呢」「不愧是守護騎士」136Please respect copyright.PENANA8w7lFlssAm
136Please respect copyright.PENANAPktBLijJmq
「伊德里爾大人,這個玩笑並不有趣。」阿特里奇單膝跪地,銳利的紅瞳飛快地掃過伊德里爾全身,確認有無傷勢。136Please respect copyright.PENANAWYIgAfAsrU
136Please respect copyright.PENANAr8SF8r1YWq
幸虧沒有受傷,阿特里奇總算放下了對這位大人的擔心。136Please respect copyright.PENANAOvD106AJeT
136Please respect copyright.PENANAKRzj7sPLsm
「放心了?」伊德里爾斜眼一看,朝阿特里奇勾起一個有點戲謔的笑靨。136Please respect copyright.PENANAlrDTPpekIN
136Please respect copyright.PENANAiTQhWhDt8F
「……您這是在捉弄我嗎?」阿特里奇難得有些怒意地問道。136Please respect copyright.PENANAfDP2vbE5YC
136Please respect copyright.PENANA1KtwOZLVHC
「哼嗯──或許兩邊都有呢。」伊德里爾眼裡笑意更深,接著抬起手輕撫過阿特里奇微冷的側頰。「更多的是……想見見妳生氣的樣子。」136Please respect copyright.PENANACnZPzv1TfJ
136Please respect copyright.PENANADf6QAfSc0q
伊德里爾的撫摸很輕很柔,像是在翻閱新買的書籍。指尖傳來了讓阿特里奇無法忽視的溫度,如同寒冷屋舍中的一堆篝火,讓人想要靠得更近一步。136Please respect copyright.PENANAIamTj8KBtn
136Please respect copyright.PENANA6kz5GD0V2J
「……請您別胡鬧了。」阿特里奇一把抓住伊德里爾的手掌。「國王陛下和王后殿下還需要您。」136Please respect copyright.PENANApjDfYoy693
136Please respect copyright.PENANAACItSfLP69
伊德里爾又笑了,但阿特里奇猜不出其中的意涵。136Please respect copyright.PENANAcawZGBotug
136Please respect copyright.PENANA9aK88r4CdY
片刻,伊德里爾再次發問:「阿特里奇也需要我嗎?」136Please respect copyright.PENANAbU41VdmaBO
136Please respect copyright.PENANAc6p26amydh
阿特里奇好巧不巧和伊德里爾的視線搭上了。除了像是璀璨的綠寶石之外,那是一雙期待回應的眼眸。136Please respect copyright.PENANAdrmgHsZPlL
136Please respect copyright.PENANAhR44fWCMid
阿特里奇這下才明白她的平易近人是多麼的危險,一不留神便會被她牽著鼻子走。136Please respect copyright.PENANA23foFrOJyO
136Please respect copyright.PENANANdC14Cnefl
不。也許自己是甘願上鉤的。136Please respect copyright.PENANA7e8ffR3SeN
136Please respect copyright.PENANAXwTlLcV6VJ
活了這麼長的時間究竟是如何一個人度過的呢?阿特里奇開始思考起這個問題。136Please respect copyright.PENANADK37fpigu4
136Please respect copyright.PENANAeNC1eUz6oj
這不像平常的她。136Please respect copyright.PENANA9xGPVwBcYT
136Please respect copyright.PENANAD5NGkFhvKt
也許從奉命作為她的守護騎士那天起,兩人的未來早已被定下。136Please respect copyright.PENANAKyY6zliD4A
136Please respect copyright.PENANAfo0jsKKEiD
「阿特里奇?」伊德里爾見得不到應答,便伸手輕捏了阿特里奇的鼻頭136Please respect copyright.PENANAfEpsccxlM7
136Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3nVscXvmf
「……」
「怎麼了──哇!」136Please respect copyright.PENANA7enjFZbAAi
136Please respect copyright.PENANAYUMMXHQz2z
阿特里奇不顧得伊德里爾的形象,將她一鼓作氣再度抱起,並用眼神示意她勾好自己的脖頸。136Please respect copyright.PENANAXmfbXENWkE
136Please respect copyright.PENANAFHPMiGgmFA
「也許……需要。」阿特里奇輕笑了一聲。令伊德里爾睜圓了眼,不敢置信這塊白色大理石居然笑出了聲。136Please respect copyright.PENANAQuA8Gw9Ccl
136Please respect copyright.PENANAJQH8PiOrJM
「……我們回去吧。」136Please respect copyright.PENANAksPNBEQ0OG
