精靈族的壽命目前最長到一千年。他們的特徵是金黃色的頭髮、白皙的皮膚、尖尖的耳朵、修長的身型。舉止優雅、目光靈敏、慧心巧舌。127Please respect copyright.PENANAs5YjePXECx
127Please respect copyright.PENANAwmMGn3vhdJ
他們善良且愛好和平,所以不太會干涉其他國家的內政,不過也有到各國去奉獻的族人。127Please respect copyright.PENANAR6HwSVkBYm
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMqmcYKgNCU
精靈族會成為遊俠、魔法師、祭司,也有為了保衛家園的戰士。127Please respect copyright.PENANAiFIiXumf0e
127Please respect copyright.PENANAA83IiDwoyD
精靈族的伊德里爾是一名祭司,曾經服侍過諸多王朝。目前在遠方的小國擔任王國裡的祭司。127Please respect copyright.PENANAPZshEB0wWV
127Please respect copyright.PENANALB7xmZCIkG
這裡的人民和她一樣喜歡平靜安穩的生活,所以跟隨現任國王搬到了遠離其他大國的大陸上生活。127Please respect copyright.PENANA2asRlyEcQk
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIv5VgfUjhg
伊德里爾在這受到了人民和國王王后的推崇與尊愛。她慈愛、聰慧且和藹可親,宛如天界派來造福人類的使者,是人們理想中的女性。127Please respect copyright.PENANAXLte7lJM7E
127Please respect copyright.PENANAkPDP2i8T2w
據說她至今未曾有過伴侶,這使得眾多男性蠢蠢欲動,向她投遞不少求愛和傾慕的書信。遺憾的是,她全都婉拒了。127Please respect copyright.PENANAvzOFMqg47B
127Please respect copyright.PENANAHYDQgjob14
然而,在這熙來攘往的人群裡,伊德里爾眼裡冒出了一道白色的光。127Please respect copyright.PENANAKNAB7F7rPL
127Please respect copyright.PENANAG07E6X5823
騎士團的其中一位騎士──阿特里奇。127Please respect copyright.PENANAgRvSUVyeeG
127Please respect copyright.PENANAC7uVerGHxg
她性格冷峻,宛如一面大理石牆。雪白的頭髮、高挑的身材、蒼白的肌膚搭配銀白的盔甲,讓她更像是坐穩在城中心噴泉的騎士雕像。127Please respect copyright.PENANAClDBjyHC9X
127Please respect copyright.PENANA9YbSLoIGsV
與其說她不善交際,倒不如說她只專注於閒話家常以外的事──保護國家、幫助弱者。127Please respect copyright.PENANAgDZ6sRB5wQ
127Please respect copyright.PENANAk9hoyEbBmS
孤兒的她某天被國王收容並訓練成為國為民的正統騎士。127Please respect copyright.PENANAsFmZgSAVrU
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJp9llOGvaq
鮮少人見過她的喜怒哀樂,神態對她而言只不過像積木塔的中間層,就算抽掉也無關緊要。127Please respect copyright.PENANAC2ahYEY7F1
127Please respect copyright.PENANABwTmTxyGDD
伊德里爾第一次見到阿特里奇是在與國王和王后的一次茶會,國王親口指認阿特里奇為自己的守護騎士。127Please respect copyright.PENANAQEZsC4fCgK
127Please respect copyright.PENANAB01Wy7BhI1
那一刻,她將阿特里奇視為大人給小孩的一顆糖。小心謹慎地收進心盒裡,並期待將來嚐到的時候究竟會得到什麼樣的體驗。127Please respect copyright.PENANAHYEaw2RZvS
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlLeifdvws1
陽光明媚的早晨,阿特里奇身著軍裝、手握於腰間單手劍劍首,挺直胸膛站在王宮花園裡的白色露天涼亭前,眼前是一片人造的碧綠池塘。127Please respect copyright.PENANATyRQAGj8mB
127Please respect copyright.PENANAy8WhJZ97oV
她的視線自始至終沒有離開過立於湖中的女人。127Please respect copyright.PENANAGRyM1GEjEm
127Please respect copyright.PENANAOOtdfronq5
和煦的暖光灑落在女人的編髮上,向外散發金黃色的光芒,說是天使下凡也不令人意外。127Please respect copyright.PENANAbCPRImU1l5
127Please respect copyright.PENANA1lNbtI8Ffp
玲瓏有致的體態、潔淨純白的祭司服、細縫成眼的祖母綠瞳、水波粼粼的湖面、綠葉成蔭的樹林,將所有素材拼湊起來足以構成一幅世界名畫。127Please respect copyright.PENANAwoMjdUoRh8
127Please respect copyright.PENANA3aFtKkuFVx
這一切不禁讓阿特里奇看得出神。127Please respect copyright.PENANA0V8n6nPCUP
127Please respect copyright.PENANADfzhwhkUSN
不。127Please respect copyright.PENANAN2vKRS3njK
127Please respect copyright.PENANABioDnSHpxU
她心想,只要是個人,肯定會被伊德里爾的容貌吸引。127Please respect copyright.PENANALLiaMXjrqs
127Please respect copyright.PENANAtqdMMUKJPw
欣賞美的事物乃人類的天性,更何況眼前是全國上下被譽為女神般存在的伊德里爾。127Please respect copyright.PENANAOWBalQMU2O
127Please respect copyright.PENANANl3eaLAA0C
噗通。127Please respect copyright.PENANAhseLduOtOj
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZVUAxt3s0W
阿特里奇聽見了有東西落入水中的聲音。127Please respect copyright.PENANA2YyAiDQsJN
127Please respect copyright.PENANAWqYgDBYDrm
兩顆眼珠如幻燈片閃過般迅速地眨了又眨,將靈魂之窗裡朦朧的景象掃去以及奪回意識的掌控權。127Please respect copyright.PENANAQliSaV817P
127Please respect copyright.PENANAB02IZ7oEKP
……原本置身於池中的女人消失了。127Please respect copyright.PENANAs5pCWG0gjq
127Please respect copyright.PENANAL408JjK9UF
阿特里奇全身明顯一震。她竟然會看丟了如此引人注目的人。左看右看,甚至連根髮絲都沒瞧見。127Please respect copyright.PENANALSXlwYbvrh
127Please respect copyright.PENANA1gnFzNXg7F
最後,她將目光聚焦在池中央。127Please respect copyright.PENANA6ybGjGb8nO
127Please respect copyright.PENANAjfGL5TpvGf
「該不會……」127Please respect copyright.PENANAg7AVv5OLR1
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgTSpyqdBcq
阿特里奇索性拋開如氣球那般飄上頭頂的雜念,也不管身穿多厚重的衣服,朝池中縱身一躍。127Please respect copyright.PENANAEzChtZ3XV7
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3U8AFQD99
果真如她所猜想──女人仰面且緊閉雙眼,正緩緩地下沉中,宛如被拋下海的金銀財寶。127Please respect copyright.PENANAfQICDu1DOb
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMKpKqE7KEJ
阿特里奇兩手向外猛力一劃,雙腳努力擺動,朝著女人的下方前進。127Please respect copyright.PENANAA75mq4w7vv
127Please respect copyright.PENANAyeGVov2bZl
最終她以扶住女人的背部以及手穿過膝蓋彎曲處,呈公主抱姿勢將她救起。127Please respect copyright.PENANA4tdaHsH2zJ
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnUXXHLAiL9
「噗哈……」阿特里奇衝破水面,忍受著衣物被水浸潤後緊貼肌膚的不適感,拖著沉重的腳步將女人抱上岸並輕輕地平放於草皮。127Please respect copyright.PENANAJPyzm53M1O
127Please respect copyright.PENANAyk6I4P4Rua
阿特里奇將瀏海撥向耳背,準備側耳傾聽女人是否還有心跳。127Please respect copyright.PENANAe2oveUilo5
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZxzVDF3unZ
「……」
「妳想測試我不必用上生命。」阿特里奇又將瀏海喬回原來的位置。127Please respect copyright.PENANAIOwJRXUVuZ
127Please respect copyright.PENANAckO2MI6k4l
伊德里爾先撐開一隻眼偷瞄阿特里奇,一邊調皮地說著「被發現了呢」「不愧是守護騎士」127Please respect copyright.PENANAWCXZpuZ4m5
127Please respect copyright.PENANAFkOJRqzvBx
「伊德里爾大人,這個玩笑並不有趣。」阿特里奇單膝跪地,銳利的紅瞳飛快地掃過伊德里爾全身,確認有無傷勢。127Please respect copyright.PENANAZXrtZrM8zz
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYU9sbUIt7c
幸虧沒有受傷,阿特里奇總算放下了對這位大人的擔心。127Please respect copyright.PENANAgB5w9N4Pfb
127Please respect copyright.PENANA6ih9mNlKri
「放心了?」伊德里爾斜眼一看,朝阿特里奇勾起一個有點戲謔的笑靨。127Please respect copyright.PENANAZNRbHiWKd2
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiKB3eqgXCX
「……您這是在捉弄我嗎?」阿特里奇難得有些怒意地問道。127Please respect copyright.PENANAOuAxMApLPF
127Please respect copyright.PENANAbJOXv7LIlx
「哼嗯──或許兩邊都有呢。」伊德里爾眼裡笑意更深,接著抬起手輕撫過阿特里奇微冷的側頰。「更多的是……想見見妳生氣的樣子。」127Please respect copyright.PENANAIuIHwtpF9o
127Please respect copyright.PENANANRLp4wd2uK
伊德里爾的撫摸很輕很柔,像是在翻閱新買的書籍。指尖傳來了讓阿特里奇無法忽視的溫度,如同寒冷屋舍中的一堆篝火,讓人想要靠得更近一步。127Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3EHrNWxOg
127Please respect copyright.PENANAVZZ2wvx34z
「……請您別胡鬧了。」阿特里奇一把抓住伊德里爾的手掌。「國王陛下和王后殿下還需要您。」127Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5YKpjJy4l
127Please respect copyright.PENANA8N0588OZaS
伊德里爾又笑了,但阿特里奇猜不出其中的意涵。127Please respect copyright.PENANAq4bVUfIokT
127Please respect copyright.PENANArC5MGPK1eS
片刻,伊德里爾再次發問:「阿特里奇也需要我嗎?」127Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ1CuJAgTS
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlPfITJeZbR
阿特里奇好巧不巧和伊德里爾的視線搭上了。除了像是璀璨的綠寶石之外,那是一雙期待回應的眼眸。127Please respect copyright.PENANAWunpkXr8ZY
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZPGM5smhaE
阿特里奇這下才明白她的平易近人是多麼的危險,一不留神便會被她牽著鼻子走。127Please respect copyright.PENANAf4S233UCeC
127Please respect copyright.PENANAndC5windsK
不。也許自己是甘願上鉤的。127Please respect copyright.PENANAYpVOHcNVIJ
127Please respect copyright.PENANAErTxuj6Ewj
活了這麼長的時間究竟是如何一個人度過的呢?阿特里奇開始思考起這個問題。127Please respect copyright.PENANAbl7cZb24qN
127Please respect copyright.PENANAGKT92rgg5P
這不像平常的她。127Please respect copyright.PENANAFflqk2RPda
127Please respect copyright.PENANAYB8vdVVtqH
也許從奉命作為她的守護騎士那天起,兩人的未來早已被定下。127Please respect copyright.PENANAW7OiwqFNav
127Please respect copyright.PENANADqW01GPzhO
「阿特里奇?」伊德里爾見得不到應答,便伸手輕捏了阿特里奇的鼻頭127Please respect copyright.PENANAeCDX2eewcO
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIN0fzVsKox
「……」
「怎麼了──哇!」127Please respect copyright.PENANAm0gWaTnQb5
127Please respect copyright.PENANA3nJhmZd06O
阿特里奇不顧得伊德里爾的形象,將她一鼓作氣再度抱起,並用眼神示意她勾好自己的脖頸。127Please respect copyright.PENANAhamfA1hl9R
127Please respect copyright.PENANAQskjYy0kJv
「也許……需要。」阿特里奇輕笑了一聲。令伊德里爾睜圓了眼,不敢置信這塊白色大理石居然笑出了聲。127Please respect copyright.PENANAilVhlU2IM4
127Please respect copyright.PENANAx3X3ZODUGr
「……我們回去吧。」127Please respect copyright.PENANAmw63X9lflx
