南極皇都到希臘官邸的航班，金度‧金恩‧艾因里希非常享受。帝國高層會議結束，他帶回不少名望，還有自我啟發。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf6fmFrS3o

金度牽起女兒的手走進廳堂，行為舉止格外親切，但他額頭上的傷疤，讓布麗姬特感到擔憂。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhq6aWL5pA

布麗姬特擁抱父親、喜極而泣。上次離別之前，那副憂心忡忡的蒼老面容，她終於能夠忘懷。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccctwbj25P
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1U4lMmd6x
「原諒我……埋首工作，都沒注意到妳已經……長這麼大了……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V8Ujgnfb2
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYWuRGOYfa
摟住女兒的腰，金度輕聲細語道：「上次我有沒有交給妳……什麼東西？代為保管？撞到頭，害我有點失憶呢……」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ3yjGUdV8
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C03OphKSu

沉重告誡閃過布麗姬特腦海。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFOBib9iiU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmfBo1iAVT
身上游移的手掌讓她十分不自在。父親的瞳孔深處，竟然有一股陌生氣息。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pLqhStfUb
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs5tvjjDuJ

雙手緊握裙襬，快步跑過長廊、走上階梯。千金公主喘著大氣、鎖緊房門。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aXrU9l664
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWldOFOm7TX
鳥兒鳴叫，日光依舊。她慢慢低下頭，從鑰匙孔向外看去。剛才那些，應該只是錯覺而已。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzoPqcROK4
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbK5n9f93q
一片黑，什麼都看不見。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt9kwv2LJO

她這才發現，被稱為父親的男人緊貼在門外，準備彎腰窺視進來。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSXJRh18II
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ozm1QhlWL
「嗚……」布麗姬特擋住嘴巴，往牆邊跌去。幸好絨毛地毯吸收聲音，讓她能偷偷從死角爬到陽台。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmjVFSiUL0

聽到門把粗暴亂轉，貴族之女掏出藏在胸口的儲存裝置，強忍淚水接受現狀，「爸爸出事了……這裡不能待，要想辦法逃出去。」349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwmr0K7T3J
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi61QHv3Vky
海風刺痛手指，布麗姬特緊緊抓住外牆浮雕，一邊聽著漸漸增多的腳步聲，一邊攀下地面。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcaDsdpq6k
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZiBR6dASu
脫掉高跟鞋、壓抑恐懼，她小心翼翼避開巡邏衛兵，成功進入樹林。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7SKcjHE5k

但是，又能逃去哪？沒了家室，她要怎麼活下去？349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW9YOFMOep
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhCqXRErvp
閃過眼角的樹幹就像不懷好意的人群，不斷打擊她的意志，直到她體力透支、跌倒在地。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuUuYUuAra
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYwZ3c9Mhd
強忍淚水狼狽起身，落葉被踩碎的聲音從布麗姬特前方傳來。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9n0Bfxklx

身穿長袍軍裝，臉上有改造紋路的武將伸出援手，扶著主公的女兒躲進草叢。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEZhYwfWnk

落難公主心底一涼，還沒反應過來就被重擊後頸、失去意識。漸漸模糊的視線中，是充滿悔意的男人神情。
思念與夢境，帶著女子回到故鄉。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclTKL8tmw0
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OWrV5lDsA
火星表面經過千年改造，已經像極了地球，不同的是，那裡海水顏色偏紅。布麗姬特很久沒看到老家，但總是會夢到同一個場景。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqh0aB2GIy

金度的妻子比夫君更「不像貴族」。她堅持靠自己的力量與病魔搏鬥，不接受複製人器官移植。雖然成功生下一女，但還是難逃命運魔爪。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY7sIWAd9w

布麗姬特睜開眼睛，發現自己被安全帶繫在船艦駕駛座，旁邊正是打暈她的騎士。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFOCh96G4u
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LorTSWqFV
「麥西米利恩‧羅威‧邁爾，你竟敢……」落難公主拔出臂環內藏小刀，抵住背叛者的脖子。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx9cGgSl1L
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7cuTZYn8H
沒有回應，也沒有辯解。布麗姬特仔細一看，發現騎士冒著冷汗，一手操縱面板，另一手緊壓腹部，長袍被血跡染紅。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEesoALlvJs
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUB6okKr8J

閃光與震動逐漸停止，太空梭飛出地球，迎接它的，是數萬顆攻擊衛星組成的防禦陣列。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUNejLfg3S
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AFDPjwPvs
濃密雷射交織亂舞，瞬間把船身大卸八塊。煙塵與碎片之中，一架機械半人馬浴火出擊。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXFRt3pYMj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p5msF8YYV
四足推進器猛踏真空；雙手握槍殺出重圍。侍衛武將專用機「山杜爾‧弓騎」且戰且走，披肩裝飾燒毀也無妨，因為繡在上頭的帝國旗幟，它已經不再效忠。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOiUOE1ejM

人馬機兵只有單一座位，騎士雙手緊抱公主減緩衝擊，同時透過神經連結裝置進行戰鬥。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstXa507f2G
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ5QFSSuIn
山杜爾左右閃避，展開槍柄上的柺刃，同時對應不同距離的威脅。但，攻擊衛星怎麼殺都殺不完，載著追兵的船隻也進入宇宙空間。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZerUzAHWa0

強烈光束在風暴中轟出一個大洞，正好讓山杜爾進入。大量碎塊因此改變軌道，開始往地球落下，攻擊衛星只好轉頭執行原本工作，擊落威脅皇都的隕石。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SOWvmgTiN
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXQqvpoayr
帝國追兵也被迫停止前進，因為衝進月球殘骸根本是自殺行為。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdtgp817PB

人馬機兵在天昏地暗的亂塵中閃躲、跳躍。G力不斷拉扯布麗姬特全身，她終究還是支撐不住、再次暈厥。最後映入眼簾的，是騎士的全心全靈，還有通訊螢幕上的求助對象⸺和平重工。
公主與騎士成為不確定因素。同時間，木星圈也出了一位逃家貴族。他帶走的不是小小磁碟，而是大半數宇宙艦隊。349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0SuAU1biJ

集結的新月、蠢動的帝國與重工。各方勢力角逐天下，外環抗軍仍蟄伏在太陽系邊境。他們能否成為燎原星火？一切都得在土星戰役見真章。
