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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokU02z3m5E
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVekNXrzbz
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk9z9wYkxF
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZjmo8HBhs
「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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExZshDGAA2
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefOj4H1mRg
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB3fnx0B7X
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvoLDMSvCv
當然……精靈族也不例外。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGmlnAPnfc
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3QKeTCd9t
轟隆！108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF81iUreogK
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQy1HB7kzt
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH4RdkTPLj
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4i6EV2knt
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3etuvbQZn
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDzdt69adk
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJIda8oBXe
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJAKbg2Zhq
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHX52qK9KT
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGJD3ymDZa
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBFsxkFztm
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvZCoUGYbJ
她以為她已經忘了。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg278l2uYkI
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXtIJowAgw
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYMMvqYkT9
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYgF7qZ4TJ
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPfPFrh7mR
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI2KTvzlDK
可過去經歷的場景每日每夜、不厭其煩地造訪伊德里爾。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOqhfMcMUS
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NwLbfEIjj
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJWLmYQuCG
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwbPROw0y7
「絕不能重蹈覆轍，我一定要守護好王國。」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX4q33AKPp
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBpMbDVS8v
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNvZkgZMLH
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hbUCtSnfe
咿呀……108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlBtfl0ijZ
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdbCi0si8q
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYXqUcdU9H
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZIdp22lha
「是誰？」伊德里爾連忙將被子撫平，將它覆蓋於腰上。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ14P7QBxf0
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxobYpJTkt
片刻，從暗處緩緩現身的是──端著熱茶的阿特里奇。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr3Q413MW3
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqxUHuGKvU
「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。」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8XrHgReoi
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkMPG6jPmm
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBeAg5ZMyt
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPge0cPT76
不過從白瓷茶杯飄散出來的薰衣草香可知──她失敗了。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhNjwLM66R
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnllCdzI2SL
「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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoRvsV042y
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5py8YDwP4j
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfVhy4lDLc
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ0ExHtv4y
「怎麼了？」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo4O0TbMID
「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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoyn40Rynm
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKHwHQ8gsi
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……」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuHaGPlvAB
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C3ju6RNEM
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy9M0iiQV5
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1SctbadQI
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8KsOVflgw
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppURqs0rsA
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac9HTtcqhN
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzhSHHMoGc
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。」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6qmUUzqJD
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunbEddxet5
阿特里奇輕點頭，正想取回茶杯時──108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTjL5w17DC
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs9rLstcCa
轟隆！108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7FwjnkWeB
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKTQMyMbJc
又是一聲足以驚天動地的雷響，雨也更大了。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IoChQpfvB
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4LftV7PPM
「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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iOqQCCrU8
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm62gL5Clmh
阿特里奇將茶杯擺回茶碟，立馬問道：「您沒事？」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOyuw8fkZM
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmugMuXEnv
「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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YvoBVHkPx
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02bqf8RBXi
「您害怕打雷？」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNuDzm9PFN
「……才沒有。」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UEmEFtnKS
「您在發抖。」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHpsSqQ6Qw
「只、只是被嚇到了……！」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPfcWKPoye
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzq3GvRPB4
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxJISHKItQ
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuwf1LKVHz
「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？」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPfN0vxK7b
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPT6bumNos
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepXH9Wc9o9
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOAOmPXBS2
「……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……」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJYHggRowa
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmfNY0U6ZK
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcytH8rexk
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgjQdqz26v
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ler2Fz5Yi
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dFHFWBVZY
「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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuxcN79YR8
「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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUGz3O1bVr
「這是我第一次這麼做……應該沒有弄痛您才是。」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP15utFZTrX
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcIG1jQ4Qr
「噗……哈哈……！」伊德里爾掩住嘴笑著，眼角甚至冒出了些許淚水。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0mjTYV0aS
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiDvoTJpjn
「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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ8uLQRn4q
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ0yyJ1Erk
「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。」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpSebcUrhT
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTQ6T7RtQK
「能替您消除壓力那當然是最好，那麼我先回房……」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YH6yctJa8
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOAMaQRxzR
「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？」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83OFe4vDcq
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PNHbB8SV8
「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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAZlpyxFUT
「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。」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX9fBHNy8v
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkg4nNjxEF
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？」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCu7Z12Xfs
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEWUUXN6Qj
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGVbFOpzYC
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLFNvJKNCe
「……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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63ww74yP1e
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。」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9fxGrngZy
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzGV9HfNU8
「我會待在這裡、待在您身旁，直到您安心入眠為止。」108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrWVdSFTvk
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1LHkQjVyw
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DZiEstw4u
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdxM4AeDc7
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。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hSVhhElAV
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj1MNfVUs6
那日，是伊德里爾有史以來睡得最安穩的一天。108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHNSrHMrZ7
