暴雨伴隨著夜幕降臨王國已經有十來日了。雷聲與閃電不甘示弱，一聲聲雷鳴讓人震耳欲聾。如水晶般透徹的雨珠大滴大滴地砸向玻璃窗，狂風在外頭咆哮，彷彿下一秒便能將窗戶擊個粉碎。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtMiATKv8K
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUOWDvvkIO
伊德里爾的寢宮裡僅有的光源只剩床頭櫃的上的圓形檯燈，米黃色的微光默默奉獻著它的光芒。除了照亮平常睡覺的那一側外，其餘的地方全像是被刷上了黑色油漆，無法看清。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxpcBe31Ge
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzPWoowWaR
「哈啊……」伊德里爾換完白色連身裙睡衣，坐在梳妝台前將置於胸前的髪辮解開，隨後走向窗台把窗簾唰的一聲拉上。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtbgUxlyPQ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVB2NzZOxo
恐懼──是與生俱來的一種心理反應，並且在人類的七情六欲中佔有一席之地。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtxQbyCYqA
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYWG8QFH7m
當然……精靈族也不例外。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYzM3FbbRi
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr9UhRDeHc
轟隆！146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmOvVWYVL2
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGLgYRSqlD
一道閃電劃破了夜色帷幕，光亮轉瞬即逝。而炸雷的聲響卻嚇得伊德里爾如膽小的老鼠般竄進厚重的被子裡。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiyhlSIHV6
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgG2p4Bua8
在被窩的保護之下，伊德里爾能減少雷聲對自己的傷害。雖然精靈的尖耳相較於人類更為靈敏，但也十分脆弱。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLRqCUFqSx
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYvg3SDomS
伊德里爾將被子牢牢裹住自己，只露出一顆頭再度朝窗戶的方向看去。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRw0x9pLYE
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0M5hERq5u
似曾相似的情景在伊德里爾的腦中浮現──猛烈的大雨、響徹雲霄的轟雷、混亂的步伐、刺耳的金屬碰撞聲。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgv3USIeDf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzHpI91oNZ
伊德里爾用顫抖的雙手摀住兩耳，弓起腿，將整張臉埋進了雙腿間。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VISvNwqAX
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb5PZQawLL
她以為她已經忘了。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0kFAIv2SJ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0vK2Swye1
長壽對她來說如同攀附在全身的荊棘，而記憶就像是荊棘上的刺，兩者的共同點是──伊德里爾都沒辦法輕易擺脫。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifntwIBW9c
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgTQyNwVYC
好不容易找到了自己的容身之處，是一個和出生地相似、和平又幸福的國家。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0ucNNDZX2
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc51rmwxT7h
可過去經歷的場景每日每夜、不厭其煩地造訪伊德里爾。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHO1KBTdCm
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKDd1Ku14C
曾經侍奉過最終卻毀滅的王國在夢裡化作一場戲無止境地再演，夢魘伸出無數隻手將她束縛在前排的位子，令無法動彈的伊德里爾痛不欲生。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3tynLWYZ7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0zrYZPyDv
「絕不能重蹈覆轍，我一定要守護好王國。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxgheDrS1K
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ktcHVkTo7
這句話是在伊德里爾成為王國的祭司之前，於心中發過的誓言。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXhYoDfTGS
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60uk8aRYoQ
咿呀……146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5aJVPR5nj
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKw7kvE4y0
伊德里爾的耳朵抽動了一下，聽見似乎有人悄悄地推開了大門。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8fnsqvhsc
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEiB7Ek43o
「是誰？」伊德里爾連忙將被子撫平，將它覆蓋於腰上。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2joE5UFAr
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ1dwpqgG3
片刻，從暗處緩緩現身的是──端著熱茶的阿特里奇。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v24Igx8wh
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzfrGq5MM7
「打擾您休息十分抱歉。」阿特里奇將托盤輕放於床頭櫃上。「王后殿下要我替您送來。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKTyduDTYL
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSODOuCLdy
伊德里爾眼底閃過一絲驚訝。她以為在今早的茶會上，自己已經成功瞞過王后殿下連續好幾天徹夜未眠的事情。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8FofHofNv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuzHlJQMWo
不過從白瓷茶杯飄散出來的薰衣草香可知──她失敗了。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9pRem6W9M
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRak4nUXOy
「代我向王后殿下道謝。還有，也謝謝妳。」伊德里爾偏頭，給了阿特里奇一個欣慰的笑容。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCSLmWazTh
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNAi9U6Vjc
阿特里奇頜首，不過卻沒有立即離開的意思，赤瞳仍然直勾勾地盯著伊德里爾。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LDbFqFZVE
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZZ8Ob7zDm
「怎麼了？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38Z1ifjHnF
「王后殿下要我親眼看著您把茶喝完。」阿特里奇將茶杯移到伊德里爾面前。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShlHYgyzUk
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKV63sDeBi
伊德里爾一怔，兩手接過捧起茶杯，一邊噘嘴把熱煙吹散一邊嘟囔「我又不是小孩子……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJPIBtztYh
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fIkRodVeN
鼻子湊近杯緣一聞，草香沿著鼻腔進入，散發著一股沁人心脾的芳香。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoSsohA9ta
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4MlzXIrGz
緊接著抬高杯緣緩緩飲下，杯中的液體輕輕地從咽喉滑入胃，讓伊德里爾緊繃的神經得以放鬆下來。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JD5ZSXqkN
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7h1pkAlT9
自接過茶杯後，阿特里奇的兩隻眼睛未曾離開過伊德里爾，像是耐心等候飼主下一步動作的小狗。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROYfqrzogE
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFqsAba4IG
伊德里爾把飲盡後的杯底展現給一旁站直的白色大型犬看。「喝完了。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinfcS4HZ7D
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJvAXUYpSx
阿特里奇輕點頭，正想取回茶杯時──146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Ua7OStH3
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXE5i7BElX
轟隆！146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGURbO1LJjA
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJBBSIwUwa
又是一聲足以驚天動地的雷響，雨也更大了。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv10n5ddyD
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbqwkTbRh7
「嗚……」伊德里爾反射性把耳朵再次覆住，嚇得連白瓷茶杯也顧不得。正當要直落地面時，阿特里奇即時接住了。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHgemkBwTY
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9No5713E5M
阿特里奇將茶杯擺回茶碟，立馬問道：「您沒事？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsK1Ex0fpd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbV25X4bs9
「我、我沒事……」與她說的話截然不同──伊德里爾緊閉雙眼，肩膀微微顫抖。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl0nsQZTTc
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGveHuIzfa
「您害怕打雷？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr5mgh0iuo
「……才沒有。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3RUJh8Fmn
「您在發抖。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7nOpvOXem
「只、只是被嚇到了……！」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcUCxzGfBO
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3RXb2oIt3
出於維持形象以及想要趕緊驅散逐漸上浮的羞恥感，伊德里爾做出了與平常些微不同的應答。只不過阿特里奇不以為意。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24qSmxdL6i
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMyP7hOM2D
「擁有害怕的事物並不需要感到丟臉。」阿特里奇單膝跪地，仰望伊德里爾。「容我多嘴再問一遍，您沒事嗎？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbMddgMdDL
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3oafuL42d
伊德里爾撐開眼皮，恰好對上了阿特里奇火紅的雙瞳，彷彿急迫地尋求問題的答案。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4HWybrT80
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcqIUli0YL
「……不。」伊德里爾隱藏在體內深處的字句撬開了唇逃了出來。「我……我很害怕……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGkpzuATYh
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcvSMpItT5
語畢，阿特里奇閉上眼像是在思考什麼，最後一邊說著「失禮了」一邊坐到伊德里爾左側。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAtAJZQtit
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIvyTPtlvA
隨後，阿特里奇有些肢體不協調地伸手穿過伊德里爾的腰際，輕輕擁住了她。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtNQQUjhnK
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kFgZyUDp9
「阿、阿特里奇……？」伊德里爾被這一系列的行為給愣住了，一時半會兒不敢輕舉妄動。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GazoXWFaP
「這是我聽公主殿下說最適合紓解壓力和情緒的方法。」阿特里奇小心翼翼地收回手。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ7K5hrIe5
「這是我第一次這麼做……應該沒有弄痛您才是。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVTWtxvh7j
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDzxNHfddY
「噗……哈哈……！」伊德里爾掩住嘴笑著，眼角甚至冒出了些許淚水。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRSaFDskYa
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsyHmUWWAN
「伊德里爾大人？您在笑什麼？」阿特里奇面露疑惑，貌似對於伊德里爾越笑越高興感到不解。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGibdHlO9Wp
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4o42NyJbG
「哈哈……呼──」伊德里爾長舒一口氣，用食指抹去眼淚。「謝謝妳阿特里奇，我感覺好多了。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmS4i1h6X1
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28BmvlO9kn
「能替您消除壓力那當然是最好，那麼我先回房……」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGuEsNQ5Dp
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIjyQ5kpHX
「等等。」伊德里爾握住正要站起的阿特里奇的手。「夜也深了，要不妳今天就在我這裡休息吧？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kPyUzzRux
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRrpnhyacR
「這個……」阿特里奇感覺被握著的手力道越來越大，而做出此舉的人笑意更深。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3r7riIvnq
「我明白了。不過……」阿特里奇瞥了一眼梳妝台的木製椅子。「我睡在那就夠了。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrLQQctn4Z
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvEvR6Vt5w
伊德里爾眉梢下垂，像是一隻惹人憐愛的小貓。「不睡床上嗎？待會可能還有雷聲唷？」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyvmNcbeex
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdneywlplfH
伊德里爾明白現在的狀況就像一位任性的小孩向母親索取想要的東西，只不過扮演母親的角色並不是自己，而是眼前撇頭不肯望向自己的白髮騎士。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzdvwS1Lmn
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJW7Se0Y38
「……您就別胡鬧了。」阿特里奇從伊德里爾的手上脫離掌控，將椅子拉近床邊後坐下。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsQr6LGIVA
而後，阿特里奇又朝伊德里爾伸出右手。「請容我用這種方式代替擁抱陪著您。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJFFNMsaGJ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WOymZvgeD
「我會待在這裡、待在您身旁，直到您安心入眠為止。」146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPvT9lSmEx
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmqNlGswf4
伊德里爾眨了眨眼，並把手掌輕覆於阿特里奇的。挪動身子平躺於床舖，最後闔上雙眼。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwbot3Ge80
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CxHyTQVtr
這份單純而直率的溫柔，任誰都不會想輕易放手的吧。伊德里爾在內心笑了笑。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LPEb8Y5kV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv3eGAwGKZ
那日，是伊德里爾有史以來睡得最安穩的一天。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsd20MlNLk
