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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0l6M7Fooc
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFReT5UHlaf
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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsamiGQWFE
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNssDjDIqQ
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVGKUO3bU9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1afDi4iSO
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCENR5EyzN
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYRNvk0Trh
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？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssGUfXJSJw
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5SN1K9ZB0
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwBBn0eFND
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WbfsI3byc
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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2N2E558mR
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKU7S7Xr8j
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNLUHBlhb6
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLmP7YHuTm
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJqFlI6jPJ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LsQ2SAQcQ
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBGZfSQhXU
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIY2q4EcCM
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpnfJjpFE0
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn1vDnRObL
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEJD6am22c
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PjkWXJwow
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vXEj82R4o
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wg7WhOslE
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4XgeVrV8v
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATz8zNFMkd
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoaV7CPJBG
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypWHehQK9T
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdI8FnAz39
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2JpLWT7nq
「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。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRQX6kwDef
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhScK22mZ8
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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjwbxnQUwo
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAbQrgRymh
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zugLFmLte
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdQzchBRd8
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvUHJ0QszO
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEPE0RQu71
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02wq5CdU9t
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wcVteFLEf
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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz4H8dzAZo
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuOTmlMllZ
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPgHSqearl
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKunLL1Sim
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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeDMX2d80K
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjR1kf04ew
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScH2XmG74d
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60nAj7KiSA
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx1ZN4JIVU
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhu85272cf
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8t8K6bi1F
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnupJS0yzni
「沒錯。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynRSiPA5Tu
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIHeYdfH0A
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRoqTYNCcw
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYtsEuP1OH
「遵命，女皇陛下。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX3m0VItn4
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qqXc6ZRk9
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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IPB20arqu
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6QZN7AixZ
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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL2DQ1YBa1
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n2WBB8HnY
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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1mQIRLSHy
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzYyXg62cZ
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTvFuzuN8w
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU6rextRwI
「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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrXae4LSff
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql95DflfXW
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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SPjh4ElkN
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk2dIb3NPx
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM1nzK3Dfs
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。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnveE20kZLw
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFrITWNjq3
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuj29yBArl
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCXvmMzDxl
「甚麼事？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs5C3bTR2p
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaPx84vrWR
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpZewOHX3I
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8bhLg3xd1
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？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjBZ8uxCXh
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPXlojG7o7
「女皇陛下英明。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDJQSVOHjO
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDBjcs00cA
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavUOpqs1Qa
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKgJdohe3P
「細作？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIc7Vbh06I
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAjeY6IMuW
「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。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOzzNPoDFp
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0TEfgXKKM
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCLVfWr782
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs028TLQa7I
「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。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JvIozDDOx
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQasjZZ9OI
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTCJAseV1o
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ty63gfcgO
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。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJIGYvSSYG
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWoDEqWuW3
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1z2QnXYx3
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTjflCEVqx
「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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuKDlSF0Rl
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAY9eMn2yV
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2G5t8x6sD
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZEgdktNxd
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6S641mu0k
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAfDmwuaU0
「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。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4nqNMS9mS
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiDoJBDaiJ
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VZJzERqyH
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxuRm3AyRS
「暗影守衛團的四人。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG81rq3bMQ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQUJ1LtQBE
「利華特呢？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc8hM55Vvq
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcMUf0pGzF
「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？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaIj2Q12pb
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtJLK1V3bD
「明白。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoELBvAGcZ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVPMtmmhGA
「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。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkYFS35Xk9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdP8ZIBSy1
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lCHu5AWfP
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N1RZlPjIK
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyv2YrYoH6
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vll2GkhEI
「不用審問嗎？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ4dHqBehZ
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyK7IaK6Xe
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xQqh5orM9
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uGUTdW7Sr
「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。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYbnb6xdxn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmnopvEt7o
「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。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYP0eVn0ei
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C3hncVbcW
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVqpLuePcM
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCzrGQhUBW
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0wnXGAvxK
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2nzcRwY8B
「遵命。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7L2AuzQAY
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrOPh8eK2G
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9Px4Sj1oU
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWcEZd7s0a
「為甚麼？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6vhtY5p4N
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMj99uarQ8
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2EQMHXsXz
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JvzMAOGf4
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4qylD4GFy
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lD5Bn8h3Y
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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXxqxQBH4I
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgyxCJGMEL
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。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNp3cgEtMb
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZjHmaF7eW
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRMYOZkYTn
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYOoRiuzFr
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。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD0a8y35fo
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsizGai09f
「之後呢？」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoSLtnptmA
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcSRszE1xc
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNSu2QDYRv
