另一方面，沙卡美不知為何回到過去，回到她十歲左右的時光。她綁著馬尾，穿著橙黃色舞裙在人來人往的宴會中穿梭。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo5yVNDk9y
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCucciY0crI
宴會裏聚集了許多名門貴族，他們受國王邀請大吃大喝，心裏都怕酒裏下了毒。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoLPUdzZpQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl6uhN5Oli
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPXz9x3Qd0
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPmiowN4kY
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQYodyDM6n
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxwWeikgCS
圍著放滿佳餚圓桌，臉看不清的老人轉身看著沙卡美：「哎喲！這不是沙卡美公主嗎？公主殿下要去哪裏？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqOgyvb3MH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQMAu12g9m
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOxukRbrEI
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpj26ppnwP
正當沙卡美想問老人有沒有頭緒時，一隻粗糙的手放在她肩膀上。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58s8WkMFXc
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpAguN8gkq
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDzmZNs7b4
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrfHzeB1wv
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CTWHih5qJ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgdYsS9bVL
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF5I9A5kmi
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGb2IOfBjQ
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbByIfTPcs
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z65EGIPJI
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONc3vOuxHJ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdhFzLDpNN
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlFxXE6fNj
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7I4nbWjhI
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwpD2bAXCp
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOFBLwE98R
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANaU7sSx72
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG7M8KTpCU
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY5lLI4QXM
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR9xSns7HQ
「不是叫妳不必多言嗎？」國王走出王宮陽台：「我的女兒啊，那裏的人都不是真心尊敬我和妳，他們只是怕得罪我而人頭落地。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuPRdWrNc5
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKC5i0UEmT
陽台外的景色被一層白霧擋住，沙卡美也看不見父王的雙眼。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr52xl2T7e
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33w3VANKFG
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz09WVUQiSW
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZMs5RbAwb
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEdc0qLWHY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4HuHPB5Lq
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriLVoDTkbO
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4ZRNItaqF
貝吏刻唐在床邊觀察她微苦的臉龐，有點於心不忍。
但為了不打擾沙卡美休息，他背靠牆邊靜候沙卡美醒來。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKyVEMy840
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlKKGUtDwU
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcuKfe34ij
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dCV1G5r18
沙卡美自己也覺得很矛盾，明明想人民生活美滿，卻一直包庇無惡不作的父王，父王駕崩後又困在陰霾當中。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaa7Wa6Uum
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g9hsbs7V7
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXhT7Goyyf
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDHKXslRyI
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LxUJfiXsA
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpDsJzglxr
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0pfNAjCdH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuetDFRwxE
「沒錯。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bbxifVPOf
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopJkOtBEcn
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFydocHHeyh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc3O430obB
「遵命，女皇陛下。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZkJSDFdZV
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNK9R1Ao4k
貝吏刻唐和小娜都不明白為何沙卡美會被「某種東西」佔據，仍然能正常運用魔力。黑色魔力明明會令人神智崩潰，但沙卡美除了行事作風改變外都很正常。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwZuZz3E56
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM3INNoyEH
感覺女皇不再是公主的貝吏刻唐，待沙卡美梳洗後伴隨她到飯廳。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEKN2jif9r
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EiyCP5kJ7
皇宮裏的官員、僕人等等昨天已知悉女皇被尋獲的消息，昨天在外冒雨拜訪人民的士兵和軍官們可能有私下跟平民們說。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAEyeF1Bdm
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7G0A5eQOL
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBpovX7HlK
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME6z4kUDDZ
「雞胸肉、麵包、蘋果和牛奶，朕很久也沒有吃過如此豐富的早膳了。」沙卡美拿起刀叉。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd8RWc4xVY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZpiL6igmx
貝吏刻唐坐在她對面一起用膳，雖說食不言是基本禮儀，但貝吏刻唐有些話想問沙卡美。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PcdsxxSOl
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EGJSq6u3C
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8oUmQQvPJ
剛要喝口牛奶的沙卡美聽見他發問，溫和地收手：「貝弟弟，早膳時間不應該說話。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rOTc13sdh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCVbXjjRtz
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrejECeEo8C
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuUNahqLYH
「甚麼事？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MvtwHfPDZ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuBWtEVWUt
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMtyhhXpCy
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYj6nkTs5y
沙卡美揮手示意女僕和守衛離開，待房間只剩他和貝吏刻唐後回應：「貝弟弟想問的是朕想暪著所有人做甚麼吧？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmSqlWqLaM
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt9A8MGJUT
「女皇陛下英明。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn0M7r85La
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ778xFmsuXx
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ipf6i0EZL
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ4DLpQHTz
「細作？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzh2qfqgAw
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQRjBxHs27
「沒錯。約一年半前，朕去山多牧場時不是被伏擊了嗎？朕問過斯斯，她說那羣刺客的確是聯邦派遣的，但得知朕會在那個時候經過該處的情報來源不明。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKd7sVM7iy
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EFjoXjPpb
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3OmIuCb1X
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NbgzKkGij
「當時朕還在學如何當一個好皇帝，沒有時間處理，朕只告訴了利華特。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kl9Qyzgtb
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawjBmgOMM4
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0FnW9JRFc
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrBH0BCqer
沙卡美舉起杯喝了一口牛奶：「朕去山多牧場一事朕只有向數個人說過，他們都跟隨朕一段時間，甚麼時候處理都已經太遲。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zJeY0r9kV
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jyryZ6qYG
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv7f1yWZrT
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2ofCxQVZG
「塔瑪、歐法、迪斯普、哈芙、小娜、利華特、我。」具吏刻唐慎重地說出這七個名字。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQven32NEzu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOM0maaomL
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iOTvK3eKQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQoFuCzuDL
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yLThujenW
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO90cVCuvm
「不是。雖然你們是當時唯二不在場的人，你們也不會蠢到背叛朕。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNQKFP4R1m
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y9g0mn3B0
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6gSztbbXj
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGa3HLW7Z1
「暗影守衛團的四人。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNGebVV4k3
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ1PO5NbTu
「利華特呢？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW8CSiIpwg
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp8r0Yj4u7
「利華特沒有背叛朕的理由。他是異世界人，當時的他怎會認為與帝國為敵是好選擇？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwiqS5hWNn
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqRcv2HEgG
「明白。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ66qFw5tRd
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHebqFjJmk8
「因此，貝弟弟，朕希望你去找他們談談，政務朕會自行處理。找出細作後就地處決。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9GMm8FXV7
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiWGusC168
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Mkhg6fbH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEnh2209SR
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffPZRFHQaS
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Qa2gwJdc
「不用審問嗎？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UiF0M59Nr
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L0FqEfdug
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviaGaocHeh
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9rYtObjwZ
「不是。我只是擔心如此強硬的手法會在那時候遭到另外三人強烈反對，他們現在都有魔力。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgE4vhiLLb
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPFyDgR2rj
「他們現在也殺不了朕，所以朕現在才想找出叛國賊。貝弟弟，這個任務不要跟小娜說。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpBorgvTON
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnQFijKXWo
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksqidqtQUy
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY42KTlOP1
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt8lqQ4rtk
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOre0UCoUK
「遵命。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu5XTL1atX
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRx9Lzw7aO
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGILt9HytF2
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8B0c1zE0e
「為甚麼？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9yrb7VmLt
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjoYiEhxAG
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh6xs6Cctm
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2XSUD8wst
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjO5nlY8y2
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCeGyGiPya
先前因曼賈襲擊造成的損害已經由小娜用魔法修補，大臣們都能站在兩旁等候上奏。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6Q9ZNc2we
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC34H7Tq0Ec
大臣們都用恐懼的眼神看著沙卡美，他們總覺得她與「失蹤」之前是截然不同的人。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdM6wzu0CR
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbmp8CHqGO
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XKWhC0rKa
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKWKz0Ong1
一位站在最前列，年邁的大臣走到台階前方彎腰：「女皇陛下，小人先抒發自己對女重陛下歸來的欣喜。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT03BHv82Cu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46SddwlqhV
「之後呢？」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2sTFKelBK
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCOXuJYRAS
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct8pbEPqlw
