「有妳在的話，我們肯定能打造一個國泰民安的國家。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl5bZQVkba
「我把她交給你們！求求你們！放過我和我的宮殿吧！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh14hQ2FBlZ
「妳根本就不是女神……而是會帶來毀滅的邪惡女巫！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOGmi8I6Wv
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11GOXfUwhZ
「伊德里爾，妳為何仍然執迷不悟？」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivhTFHmaME
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3xbdqVaec
「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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uRyPyhWez
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx86mjuKTmf
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ggjzkWSfL
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSggAv1afXk
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkUF0zH3LV
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5dP80SQXE
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx4qPDN5Jh
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2auWqnXH1
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95s5zUF8SW
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOir7cFFzuW
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWte10Ues1
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUJaswQj7z
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KMSmO2VGL
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfeSpTbwRt
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6hxPCvg4C
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4EYxu8H09
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvXiA6WlsB
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDV9IzyLqz
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDuxQyEdNX
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vCGTu5aX7
阿特里奇她……會記得嗎……？她不禁暗忖。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG7Bng2bKJ
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH0EwqyyvS
啪咔。眼角的餘光捕捉到半邊的宮門敞開了。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCR9Hi2M5y
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo66jUPGxXm
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneYRKeErV0
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL9G5Mhfbe
「伊……」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp2UhwQbbb
「伊德里爾！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe76B2sBXtP
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56JEpb65VS
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR5I1ljLTe
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwr2gNe3u2
「妳終於醒了！我好擔心妳！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYF520wqOo
「妳還好嗎……？」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCFufEgRUn
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMl8Z30mF3
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtP0mVTs7x
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1lbq65lbn
啪、啪。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqhq461hpT
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS7O0GP47a
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5zZlS1oS0
「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！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDjNmU3LWG
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsC9uGhLHQ
語落，帕米拉如同往常一樣堅定且迅速地舉起手。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4e5HgCUgz
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1VICfaOET
「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！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKMe8dwACU
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstIvMTzWwl
「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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1OjsnKBAi
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtOGcEqpZb
這是伊德里爾最喜歡她的地方──直截痛快的行事風格。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3DstcfoxU
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2WRwlRAjD
「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……？」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFYi2OnKf7
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsuOub8iRH
「雖然不知道睡了多久，不過感覺比好多了。」伊德里爾輕笑。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBW1MXDFW0
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdkwwJ0fWg
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……」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC89yd8WzW
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfssOw54xoA
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCSaCNbyoA
「五天……」尼爾抬眸對視伊德里爾，濃綠的眼曈微動。「整整五天。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzuQfNIkLE
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVddsaXwsQ7
「五、五天？」伊德里爾倒抽一口氣。對她而言，這則消息並非好事。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Vrk0pbV1
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya3Mh6Ft0i
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLq9etAmU5
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcxREB9tEr
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？」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVH7fQpnVG
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92kpoEOhCR
尼爾明白隱藏在話語中的重要性，並說了「我會轉告姐姐」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlEygntrHE
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcg9bkmbS5
「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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTJfNcYGDI
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2pgacQZnh
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXLfZQ3Zvu
「阿特里奇她……她去了精靈之森。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUP4nWYUEX
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRin8FUqGM
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuWgKxmO2X
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LF8HPeWXK
「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……？」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOApWkfnfOl
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOB5UKmMnf
「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……」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL66x4uYrlc
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0iubAB0Jp
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnthDKDBeO
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh1S7fDJTS
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlNQ3ROI4p
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FmaqEdqQ5
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsl9Oowi8E
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWczP3QfeM
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDLsYKcDPh
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrWfFMDFrK
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhN1thJHtx
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSDnDamSH0
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCnLmRjJMO
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJeMX0KpiN
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1FdG9qri0
「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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDdVOQvpW3
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC1HLB9ruu
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCIY2AVUhA
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJejchuhLKl
求求您，請別讓她這麼快離開我。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMasnyU39pB
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GYqslbvk2
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlK0YEfBiZ
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIWkLEWUpv
「伊德里爾大人。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrq96OBFpR
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y8TQXDOUw
「……！」伊德里爾驀地瞪大眼睛，朝聲音方向一望。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwTfZFbFHN
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNL0uKGDpH
「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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2iuql171s
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10onkIk91a
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！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTLt9EVI2y
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIuO1E9Roq
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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlhXIg36eK
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2ewUegCQx
「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。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8HNFVkDqN
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveCzEFXv7c
幸好、幸好……66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxi3NodMEU
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4uTpwd3G8
她回來了，而且毫髮無傷。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlltH0tEv85
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFbkODOkIt
「讓我……再維持這樣一陣子……」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTsHoFwMBm
