「有妳在的話，我們肯定能打造一個國泰民安的國家。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLA0sUHNrg
「我把她交給你們！求求你們！放過我和我的宮殿吧！」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUKBhMnczR
「妳根本就不是女神……而是會帶來毀滅的邪惡女巫！」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihLyISZ4mN
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsGtuud5Rg
「伊德里爾，妳為何仍然執迷不悟？」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLR7FcZvip
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNBBbGBnme
「不是的！我──！」伊德里爾猛然睜開眼皮，挺起腰桿，伸直手像是想抓住什麼人。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaPdTcTK31
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrF1wxCc2y
由於過度使力，伊德里爾頓覺一陣頭暈目眩，自己的身體彷彿搖搖欲墜的吊橋。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQaab4pzdq
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMQAjP1Cba
她深吸一口，將肺部滿盈涼意的空氣，隨後一小點一小點吐出，試圖緩和方才的衝動。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkaLw0iAFR
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA37pDeXEDk
綠湖般通透的雙瞳掃視周圍──身上不是穿著記憶中的禮服，而是連身睡衣。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EbapYNtQQ
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGiqFykomi
床單和枕頭貌似有被汗水浸濕的痕跡。潔白柔軟的棉被整齊地平鋪於腹部，窗簾也牢牢地掩住外頭的景色。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHrG2HzYqQ
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzib0M9Hvb4
伊德里爾將兩指覆上太陽穴，接著順時針畫圓搓揉。她感覺如被針扎過那般頭痛欲裂，甚至連自己是如何換了衣物、躺上了床的印象也蕩然無存。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKssvBXsx2
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeLq1LX7IM
她闔上雙眼，在意識裡的記憶之海垂釣了良久，最後總算釣起了一塊畫面片段──阿特里奇接吻的轉瞬之間。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwzLpI6xgV
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2krcTjm49
羞愧如潮水般襲捲而來，紅暈染上了她白皙的側頰。兩隻手掌將捧住整張臉，像是想用微冷的手阻止因羞澀而導致的熱度繼續上升。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5ezMPjrWU
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r617bpMgk
肯定是那杯酒的錯！伊德里爾擰緊眉心，巴不得現在立刻使用時間回溯的魔法，倒轉到宴會前幾個小時。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcJlXWcdUM
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdUGhg04mc
如此一來，不僅能請人稟告王后殿下由於身體不適，所以無法出席她的生日宴會，也不會喝下那杯使人意亂情迷的杯中物。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYV0nrK9ZI
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLPEJV6bbm
阿特里奇她……會記得嗎……？她不禁暗忖。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1T7MXmuwn
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2t4oNxhKx
啪咔。眼角的餘光捕捉到半邊的宮門敞開了。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDaS8jU9Lu
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsk0fUjMPH
亮眼的金黃髮梢從門縫中露出一小撮，碧眼緩緩地從門後冒出，似乎在窺探著宮內。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWaOhrDF4i
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mddefWyfO
「伊……」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yuLSEBKjy
「伊德里爾！」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC9KmEZPMo
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfS6UEPA3R
銀鈴般的呼喚聲迴盪在宮中，帕米拉拎起緋紅色裙擺，噠噠噠地跑到床邊。尼爾則是把門輕輕帶上後，才慢慢走到帕米拉身旁。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ME26mi8A
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1LaWuyHQl
「妳終於醒了！我好擔心妳！」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwFotEaWvH
「妳還好嗎……？」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCweT35ZjlQ
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFarNUBGQ2
擔憂自己的問候此起彼落，模樣儼如兩隻飢腸轆轆的鳥兒，正焦急地向母鳥尋求餵食。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ610XlVydMo
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9UQ5q5pi1
啪、啪。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6T6y4zxed
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl4DNVzXqI
伊德里爾輕拍了兩下掌心，打斷了兩人問話，同時也讓他們的視線聚集在自己身上。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizLRCceJi1
「孩子們，謝謝你們的擔心。」伊德里爾欣喜一笑。「不過我們還是一個一個來吧？像平時上課的時候一樣提問！」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS6WtaZ8Sn
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiogvxer6X
語落，帕米拉如同往常一樣堅定且迅速地舉起手。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mk3PzHhiK
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qeYxAXzz9
「我我我！」帕米拉纖細的前臂在半空中揮舞。「伊德里爾妳餓了嗎？渴了嗎？我去請人替妳送吃的過來好嗎！」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhqXdKOuFd
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mp4oKddvH
「當然好呀，小甜心。」伊德里爾抬手輕揉帕米拉的髮絲，小公主笑顏逐開，接著一溜煙衝出寢宮。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNtlSLy238
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmIH4gMGIY
這是伊德里爾最喜歡她的地方──直截痛快的行事風格。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LSvVY6NDC
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1daYtRi6B3
「伊、伊德里爾……」留在原地的尼爾怯生生地詢問：「身體……好一點了嗎……？」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWe8d8myuw
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnIo51auN5
「雖然不知道睡了多久，不過感覺比好多了。」伊德里爾輕笑。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmYKi7wH81
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sI0WWHUqR
小王子上下點了點頭，讓原本處於緊繃狀態的肩膀確確實實地放鬆下來。「太好了……」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcv6dR8a1Q
尼爾雖然不像他姐姐那般直率，但善良且富有同理心的他，是絕不會疏於關心的步驟。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH9ZHXIHY1
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOl5WAtHgY
「五天……」尼爾抬眸對視伊德里爾，濃綠的眼曈微動。「整整五天。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tKGwhHwsG
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcvvaOx9Az
「五、五天？」伊德里爾倒抽一口氣。對她而言，這則消息並非好事。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQa763RN0Z
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YGsDExzYr
最近陷入深眠的次數愈來愈多，有時阿特里奇都得喚了好幾聲才會真正清醒過來。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy16jvuXGX
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmxhiuNnoH
伊德里爾心事重重地支手撐頭，向尼爾叮囑道：「以後……萬一我睡得太久的話，請你和小公主不論用何種方式，請一定、一定要叫醒我，好嗎？」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS1XQShxcI
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ603OfYqd4Q
尼爾明白隱藏在話語中的重要性，並說了「我會轉告姐姐」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeLqjMsZv3
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNrB8xN3gO
「話說回來，阿特里奇去哪了？」按理說，此刻那名守護騎士應當要出現在眼前才是。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHm1HjHDxv
只見尼爾欲言又止的神情，伊德里爾便知在自己睡覺期間裡，估計發生了什麼事。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4IPioNsnQ
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEveURwPiMN
「阿特里奇她……她去了精靈之森。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvlzW1upNI
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iqiK3xmFB
伊德里爾一陣驚悸，本來好不容易恢復正常運作的腦袋，現在卻變成了茫然且不知所措的白紙，一下子什麼話也說不出來。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBG4reWkRO
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAio0pFLVp
「為……為什麼？」伊德里爾感覺自己的牙齒正不斷打顫。「她一個人嗎？是誰讓她去的……？」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetCMivQOQg
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CjEnS5iZj
「是的……而且是阿特里奇自願去的。她說那裡的泉水能讓伊德里爾更快好起來……」尼爾眉尾下彎，表露無奈。「但……」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpetjmoQHu2
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W07O3jZ3M
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBQ1P6axGF
精靈之森……距離這兒騎馬過去最多也就三天，然而端看尼爾凝重的神情──很難不去聯想阿特里奇是否遭遇了困難。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi1RVI46cS
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFNUn8gmKY
況且最近聽聞越來越多的族人不喜歡人類踏入森林裡。尤其是那些打從一開始就不信任人類的精靈，他們認為人類是愚蠢無知且蠻橫無禮。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVPzLeF8G7
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45ec7lzTpw
據說他們甚至會無聲無息地除掉任何一位入侵者。不分種族、不分性別。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGCMU5RgtT
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA97vaYxjE
精靈之森的泉水不僅是精靈長壽的要素之一，也是某種特效藥，能使人快速消除自身的異狀。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVidOtSr1eG
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjQkD6ZkdE
那個笨蛋騎士……伊德里爾雙手揪緊棉被。心臟像是被人掐住般無法正常跳動，上排齒彷彿快要將下唇咬出鮮血。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU59dvnD19
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzKdx2axbA
再怎麼樣也不能一個人去啊……伊德里爾心裡焦急如熱鍋上的螞蟻。難以平復的情緒匯聚成一團熱氣流，在她的體內不間斷循環。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eRzwUspEZ
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXkxYMYdbn
「我……我去外面幫妳看看阿特里奇回來了沒有……！」伊德里爾抱有同樣心情的尼爾，向伊德里爾簡單行禮後，快步離開宮中。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKn4YZxDpp
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfzkyAihEu
伊德里爾閉眼且雙手交扣，如同修女禱告般嘴巴不停歇地碎念著，像是在吟唱冗長的精靈語。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK91c50jCf
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxgtYyDZfF
求求您，請別讓她這麼快離開我。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g3FGzkAZL
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEsB5GNXOR
伊德里爾加大握力，向信奉的神明傾訴自己內心深處的渴望。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWmtr9Wj47
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC3QtBhv8S
「伊德里爾大人。」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovgJjfxf8A
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadehTso5CS
「……！」伊德里爾驀地瞪大眼睛，朝聲音方向一望。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrEwqLY0Sl
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQljjM6uMQP
「您醒了。」阿特里奇穿著一如往日的白色軍服，一手扶於劍首，另一手貌似握著什麼東西，出現在伊德里爾面前。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglvK6VKXtW
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD2sr5Vu1G
阿特里奇一步步靠近床鋪邊，將手心攤開亮出一罐裝有透明液體的小藥瓶。「或許……喝下這個能讓您趕快──呃！」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGZicCIRWI
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EkjLna5Fe
伊德里爾奮不顧身地擁住阿特里奇的腰圍，隱忍已久的淚水奪眶而出。她感覺心臟正在異於平常劇烈地跳動，彷彿將剛才所有的想法全都拋諸腦後。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxGVWihDxM
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnqrpnJjPU
「伊德里爾大人？」阿特里奇鮮少地發出驚嘆，手浮在空中不知該如何是好。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplb8zSN2et
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAnXleMDll
幸好、幸好……70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsqIBwqY1N
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExTlz7adn5
她回來了，而且毫髮無傷。70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcWuIuULhV
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgWmjveNhx
「讓我……再維持這樣一陣子……」70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPobxuy5Mm
