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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqI7ODGbYL

「父親大人，辛苦了。」布麗姬特按照禮數，再次出宮到停機坪迎接。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFR3VRe187

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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKS1kgC9Vl
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQTHOQzT62
「您身體還好嗎？要不要休息一下？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHhiPmujVz

老將軍神采煥發，迫不及待地說出好消息，「跟妳說，爸爸要升遷了！我能分到火星，妳會變成老家的公主……更重要的是，我會有更多時間陪妳。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn0wbIb8mx

「真的嗎……太好了，終於……」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsn5rgygJB
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6ckxHvINJ
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3A4fxnooc
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR01uQmm9b
「原諒我……埋首工作，都沒注意到妳已經……長這麼大了……」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1E7pFZGzy
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gVqRPVeJy
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……」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR31Un40f1
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqo7mRYlky
「嗯？有啊，那個小儲存碟……」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr0Luuhg2b
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ex1Hywgi8
不要相信任何人。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhKiCBx1ki

沉重告誡閃過布麗姬特腦海。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yqZ81Gqf7
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGu6xLC7Nt
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkcH9WUaXd
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUHuXQviZ2
「小儲存碟？在哪裡？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Zz4XpVNm

393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijT0cHQmAV
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFE5PhdgtC
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kWJnvkV8h
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBdg4g58px
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0POCbREoD
一片黑，什麼都看不見。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qpjHdO7yc
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOXsP8W78d
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFLAyPXlff
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuEeBo1ZTF
「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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GAjeTxyJl

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。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2errgONli
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnmQuVkdCE
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKWQGmql2C
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdJ2kl7AEo
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjjnqtlWxN

「快逃、快逃……」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rPzLPult1

但是，又能逃去哪？沒了家室，她要怎麼活下去？393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fLhrnXRXx
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80BxP8hisB
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldcwLErrQq
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEc0ePb9f0
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvyXOYGntS

「誰……騎士大人？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Wkyw6bzw
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEpmDpaQBU
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTnRVaP3LW

393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lidGPs0uk
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArc4Wm4poK
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKyPWe4R3L
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32vhNTEv1x
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU9aJnXtwa
安寧病房窗外是紅色汪洋，母親嚥下最後一口氣。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qHrJR1vvn
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ0OSgKzYU
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k92BewAiJ
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdufWP42F4U

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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfoeeEoOEf
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWHlSNaE2s
「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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5hi7lRJN8
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyJp8ixKSx
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUZaxFA2kH
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy9o1Y5FES
「大小姐，我願接受任何懲罰，但必須等我們成功脫逃……」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9s2oVvyoc
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaqHMeKzUg
「你……為什麼……」布麗姬特收起小刀幫忙止血，試著整理混亂思緒，「到底怎麼回事？我們在哪？」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdEqhFXo1g
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiKdb9vS1X
「金度將軍下令將您活捉，甚至要進行拷問，那完全不像他，在下……違反軍紀，把您帶到這艘運輸船，不小心中槍。」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0SD7C7TXK
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLuktdDU1e
「父親果然……可是，要逃到哪呢……」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXUCxqkcrw
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSHqzrJSGU
麥西米利恩推動油門，艙內顛簸加劇，「我的計畫是……突破大氣層，換乘機體甩開追兵，尋求庇護……」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BJgDgrwv3
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq1SJL7rCI
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkupSTzTBdF
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsAy9ucAxW
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpYMH1HMzT
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr7smooTAe
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9ZPhA8Hja

「大小姐，請您忍耐！」393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugZ10zOBBA

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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdDJMFpdoW
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR4n1QGdMl
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Co97V4uI

布麗姬特看到螢幕上的警報，得知她們走頭無路。就要放棄希望時，突然感到環抱身體的手臂更加緊縮。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWVu6G8ecE
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDITDY8fbcs
無數流星群當前，半人馬沒有退縮，而是把雙槍互相結合，全速衝進死亡風暴。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79WostF4LA

393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH2y3KjrK2
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNFBn4vwWP
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWp1CbQK3b
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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBOVq1OXmv

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。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4cy3X4Tfk

親后派份子被關進運輸艇，運回木衛四。元帥只留下少數守軍，因為有纏結通訊裝置，離開家園也能隨時掌握狀況。393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tQg9imxiY

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。
