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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT42kCcYurK
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzrrtywuVD
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjhABGlG2I
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4LbIAi9Bn
「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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy830IvBQ6F
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE7lFh0RVw
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6svGCF7gq
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahiLehN8yK
當然……精靈族也不例外。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXvC4YIZUD
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wA7XXnseC
轟隆！125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr09AZdoF2Q
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxfsQcLeGs
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy75oTYxoWS
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmxQW8S52w
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVYpeJ35At
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PvUD31xog
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkdir7SEmI
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZbhHDckCZ
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtUd3JzZbb
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIgDBCJ6V1
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRauWu8NVv
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aTJYzKkA5
她以為她已經忘了。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld6yOdPHwx
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4geAGkCTxW
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5rK80Sm7B
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZFHP1ShAJ
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqbUitALLq
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowSTwcdy5R
可過去經歷的場景每日每夜、不厭其煩地造訪伊德里爾。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWqwNkTs9c
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LyXr0ThL1
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7G8McekzA
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUndhaBlTNA
「絕不能重蹈覆轍，我一定要守護好王國。」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUkDfU5cMA
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc46gic4ko
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vpP7eNTVk
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LlF8aYJy7
咿呀……125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8URa31ent
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK95E0jADyz
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu1cV1X8dD
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyVLXGXBpx
「是誰？」伊德里爾連忙將被子撫平，將它覆蓋於腰上。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZyhG5rf2R
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlANfBksn6u
片刻，從暗處緩緩現身的是──端著熱茶的阿特里奇。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyhqrqvhuj
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1skRXYwrOe
「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。」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfbJcMEnGb
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzMUqWLiF6
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPo6lDscCb
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7f5XlM5QX
不過從白瓷茶杯飄散出來的薰衣草香可知──她失敗了。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0rUxdNeTm
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc37Qvvb7k
「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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjE2JJVQ12
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcLXiEA2Gn
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBETBujv3g
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcexJv4XFbY
「怎麼了？」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mXyRPTg9J
「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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOTrZwDwR7
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvkImBB89K
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……」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJtJIGbhez
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHBen6G2NV
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkCk6hEOHw
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOFgcJBTBL
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOY9F3HpHl
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4W08HS8k5
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlEtr2mxjq
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGChDG7PF0
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。」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ41nuUSwZ8
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0uygmifOJ
阿特里奇輕點頭，正想取回茶杯時──125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwzYhr1yOO
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTdJhIKfzL
轟隆！125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn3AhjbFG1
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8M5GjwvxB
又是一聲足以驚天動地的雷響，雨也更大了。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlTVjQTYtO
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCEXNrSQt0
「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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlt85kVh02
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFboU9Dp5WY
阿特里奇將茶杯擺回茶碟，立馬問道：「您沒事？」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8PfesFGvl
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeZ4Jlbjgu
「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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEmt5mpxF1
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE8iSjnDp7
「您害怕打雷？」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXPyp6whj8
「……才沒有。」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgmthedzmZ
「您在發抖。」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtphBsOTp9E
「只、只是被嚇到了……！」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDnpTyqMKA
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcE7ihF8hN
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXtuOMiAKh
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XYK8rt1yI
「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？」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGUhYOEc7N
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7JEg46NXv
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh13wkwtQp
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqIFZDjjTI
「……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……」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ2NFQB5VX
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxchB5OLut
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzJCcRkLjh
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2eykgPds2
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroIKoZG42n
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA3KoTSxuC
「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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuUCDfkJhB
「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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8YVP0lTGm
「這是我第一次這麼做……應該沒有弄痛您才是。」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gyPaSNgeY
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCHICClVM3
「噗……哈哈……！」伊德里爾掩住嘴笑著，眼角甚至冒出了些許淚水。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRaYRrONia
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUPPRqqe2G
「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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXAGvbpgND
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7TxcSeg1j
「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。」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyufJLJbis2
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoKKKNnj2q
「能替您消除壓力那當然是最好，那麼我先回房……」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1iKUNxi3r
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WEKlD7P4k
「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？」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8A5F8vYey
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tg2jj2sxj
「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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnkRZxV139
「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。」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQoFPErXjT
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnLHG4Ca66
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？」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCJBr7vDFq
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZV1eLMeBk
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tPdaM2SSf
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRGAaEFXzP
「……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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MhEVNDUuM
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。」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwoZQFxyEG
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT7Dep7er4
「我會待在這裡、待在您身旁，直到您安心入眠為止。」125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzhmvr9wOB
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSzFguy0Gf
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hpRJQlpZy
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuxIYYPMJ1
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。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DYw3wttST
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwHZ7STPhZ
那日，是伊德里爾有史以來睡得最安穩的一天。125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCgwxoe136
