帝國將軍沃爾夫．杜．格里芬在替他的孫子伊隆收拾完爛攤子後，便風風火火地去晉見皇帝。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcRGCq5NGS

他搭上前往外太空的禮儀艦，在數個標準時的航行後，到達位於數百公里高空的同步軌道。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzgFjGyOiY
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqu1IdFg5B
此處漂流著一個巨大的空中花園，那是帝國皇帝的行宮。在空中花園周遭至少有四個大艦隊護衛著，和這些軍艦相比，禮儀艦小得像隻不顯眼的蒼蠅。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAnDWW199P
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPdLcs7kmb
還真是奢華啊，生性嚴謹的老將軍如此想著。這時有另一艘禮儀艦從空中花園的太空港口飛出，來到沃爾夫面前。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgQ0oShfuL
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ858jfVVW
這一艘禮儀艦是來確認安全的，畢竟皇帝如此尊貴，要是有個萬一，整個帝國只怕就分崩離析。所以才會派遣護衛過來檢查，務求將威脅隔離在行宮之外。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOizspkmNl
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqhkvmZQzu
整個檢查過程非常繁複，足足花了一個小時。之後沃爾夫便隨著護衛們來到另一艘禮儀艦，而原本那艘便在原地待機。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yEbBd2AEj

登陸行宮後，又由另一隊穿著金甲的禁衛軍接手。他們登上前往宮中花園的電梯，四周從飄渺星空到環繞著荒蠻叢林的庭院區。再步行個十幾個標準分，他們才來到一個寬闊的湖泊。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqlBrq0naE
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVpF2pD0zA
在岸邊有個華麗的大帳篷，一夥人來到帳棚前靜候。不過也沒等多久，帳棚內就傳出一個聽起來柔和但不容質疑的男性聲音。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyk4EnFBwV
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYg39pFaCD
「這裡不是皇宮，繁文縟節就不用了。」那話語中充滿歡喜的情緒。「進來吧，沃爾夫公爵。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyScVE5o3f
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuLYBdPW7n
老將軍沉默地邁開步伐，不疾不徐地走入帳篷中。帳篷內的裝飾十分華麗，花樣非常複雜的超大地毯鋪在地上，其上放了不少同樣充滿異域風格的繡花枕頭。在枕頭邊靠著幾個樣貌膚色髮色身材皆不同，各有千秋的女子。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNOz35gAbF
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHzufXeXV2
在那群女子中央，一名金髮碧眼，身穿白色長袍的美男子正半坐半臥著。只見那名男子一抬起手，身邊的女子立刻起身離去，只留沃爾夫一人獨自面對。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwt03R9mgi
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lGKTA55B5
「許久不見了，陛下。」沃爾夫單膝跪下行禮。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeQPTKShRh
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CYVMtREkC
「是啊，自聯邦與帝國接壤後……那是多久以前的事了？」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPsK07fgvn
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJpMbbsf3x
「大概五十個標準年。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnNxojQNEu
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsI0uelJmR
「是嗎，過那麼久啦？」男子懶懶地打個呵欠。「哈啊…歲月不饒人啊，你看你現在滿頭白髮。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAohwfKxLcz
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4QwHHzH1v
「陛下，微臣也快四百歲了。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6tTTUS3fj
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7o9n4nR6N
帝國貴族的壽命在基因工程的突破早就能活到五百歲以上，這是依遠古傳承下來的曆法計算出來的。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48uzmlxxgY
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEae9ccxLlK
不過長年征戰，沃爾夫也的確沒多久好活了。他的老態已顯，皇帝看得眉頭微皺，又說：74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiqBXx85Bi
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti3Jv7UOn8
「你這次回來就別走了，我們帝國還沒有弱到得摧殘一個老人才能守住邊境。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4ZMvteezz
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygO005QlbP
「謝陛下。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKaFGJu8ou
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS2UIL7J1w
「來吧。」男子起身「陪我走走。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mIgoXZxAr
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mpXLtVGiO
穿著黑色盔甲的沃爾夫公爵跟在穿著白袍的皇帝身後從帳篷的另一邊出口來到湖邊，兩人沿著湖岸散步著。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVw92aECFW
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdAJUuViUS
走沒多久，男子漫不經心地問：74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dsOSXZDio
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawt6RtpLZS
「話說回來，你那孫子還挺有趣的嘛。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOWp0CGaqg
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD0AwzAahP
「微臣教導無方，深感慚愧。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx37XQNDfDi
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNUNjwuOuQ
「怎能怪你？這孩子自出生後就失去生父，而你又為了帝國鎮守邊疆，幾年見不到他一次。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtbMHUzAXh
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw5N3ShYDB
老將軍沒有接話，只是嘆了口氣。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BvPpdUqMD
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzaS1VJ8fY
「真是的，看開點嘛。叫你來見我，就表示這沒甚麼。」男人咧嘴笑得很開心。「我可不在乎我那女兒受到甚麼委屈，我連她媽也只睡過一晚。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0KK3G9LW1
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lNeRYSQLn
身為帝國的最高領導者，繼承者本來就是大事。所以後宮三千是名符其實。而且年紀到了就汰除送出宮外，很多宮女根本連皇帝的面都沒見到，青春就這麼消逝了。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeAlPRZOsl
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShvebXAuUz
運氣好一點的就像艾莉婕公主她的母親，可以被皇帝臨幸一晚。但若生不出皇子的話也就這樣，想讓皇帝再來一次機會渺茫。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwi4DpIJof
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgloftthYB
通常能與皇帝多次交合的女子，大多是貴族之女。身為平民的艾莉婕之母，自然也就只有那麼一次機會。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47YdacRv6T
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIZ9z2K0ox
「所以你那孫子睡了就睡了，我那女兒本來就是我要送來給你們格里芬家安心用的。只是我沒想到這婊子生出不該有的野心，真是不知死活。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB72PHDspE
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eRFToQcIR
說這話的時候，皇帝的臉上是沒有溫度的冷笑。但很快的那表情就被隱去，掛著的依然是平易近人如春風般的微笑。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV9paGH9dW
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvsmqXL5VA
「嘛…不過諾倫她女兒可是他最疼愛的掌上明珠，被你孫子這樣糟蹋，這讓我都有點難做啊。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIt8h0iYtz
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zuGG1UcXe
話說到這，沃爾夫毫不猶豫地搶答道：74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyISxha6Euq
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfGlkKdzAO
「陛下如果為難，那廢物的頭就儘管拿去。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OKPCgbfzC
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLXKQjPqgF
「哈哈哈哈…」男子乾笑幾聲。「老將軍真愛說笑，他可是你們家唯一的命根子，我沒那麼冷血。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERrVolEd8i
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR8iaW8w9T
「那陛下要怎麼安排他？」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqljAqtdYfr
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3re6km80Jv
「這個嗎……」男子摸了摸下巴。「我在想他總有一天要接你的衣缽，不如就派去邊境歷練，順便避避風頭吧。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv5VJesKQl
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuArHOkewqP
「陛下如此為微臣著想，微臣……」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKm4y7Rwql
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMnH6remJf
「奉承話就別說了。」皇帝打斷沃爾夫的話，問：「我這安排你可接受？」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX1tE5BH3h
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd3w6HJmyb
「微臣沒有異議。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLrOmmFSal
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTXSwAedIS
「好，那這事就不經過三王法庭，免得丟臉丟到被聯邦那群土包子恥笑。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4bsvkg0ib
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHpmD1gK8m
「謝陛下。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOhlbWPyTb
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxYWh3kCsp
「沃爾夫啊，你要記住，狼跟狗是不一樣的。」皇帝停下腳步。「別把你孫子養廢了，不然我可要逼你再娶。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wety7dN0P
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqpE0UW6Iv
這話聽得老將軍原本一絲不苟的撲克臉差點破防，見他如此反應，男子笑得比剛見面時還要開心。74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk68lCti19H
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM8ozFQfap
「好啦，快回去吧。」他把目光放在平靜無波的湖面上，笑瞇瞇地說：「你們爺孫倆好好聚聚，過幾天再把那個小混蛋踢到邊境去。」74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtBV3BqmJM
