「有妳在的話，我們肯定能打造一個國泰民安的國家。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBX9bvHVqu
「我把她交給你們！求求你們！放過我和我的宮殿吧！」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hciTxy00j
「妳根本就不是女神……而是會帶來毀滅的邪惡女巫！」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUFZb9xuaj
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYHV2rU3LW
「伊德里爾，妳為何仍然執迷不悟？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvsSwQnZ6I
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcFGbldk6E
「不是的！我──！」伊德里爾猛然睜開眼皮，挺起腰桿，伸直手像是想抓住什麼人。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Yd0HMDsK
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt1y0M14kP
由於過度使力，伊德里爾頓覺一陣頭暈目眩，自己的身體彷彿搖搖欲墜的吊橋。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c23kuM1Hk
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJXSXPv4dN
她深吸一口，將肺部滿盈涼意的空氣，隨後一小點一小點吐出，試圖緩和方才的衝動。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcbFnMNT5Q
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLuXlsd7G0
綠湖般通透的雙瞳掃視周圍──身上不是穿著記憶中的禮服，而是連身睡衣。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvet1lNMIGV
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2UX53dEPj
床單和枕頭貌似有被汗水浸濕的痕跡。潔白柔軟的棉被整齊地平鋪於腹部，窗簾也牢牢地掩住外頭的景色。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZI6gdVMzl
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2zx6FjGF3
伊德里爾將兩指覆上太陽穴，接著順時針畫圓搓揉。她感覺如被針扎過那般頭痛欲裂，甚至連自己是如何換了衣物、躺上了床的印象也蕩然無存。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJsHWytxtt
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVU43BDI7P
她闔上雙眼，在意識裡的記憶之海垂釣了良久，最後總算釣起了一塊畫面片段──阿特里奇接吻的轉瞬之間。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXNHKEFFbj
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxKytHcZtj
羞愧如潮水般襲捲而來，紅暈染上了她白皙的側頰。兩隻手掌將捧住整張臉，像是想用微冷的手阻止因羞澀而導致的熱度繼續上升。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSRvPzwDKF
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFD1kXbKsq
肯定是那杯酒的錯！伊德里爾擰緊眉心，巴不得現在立刻使用時間回溯的魔法，倒轉到宴會前幾個小時。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBG7SCs40P
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kL4p8CdpD
如此一來，不僅能請人稟告王后殿下由於身體不適，所以無法出席她的生日宴會，也不會喝下那杯使人意亂情迷的杯中物。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHx24DXKZv
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHzUwQiNDd
阿特里奇她……會記得嗎……？她不禁暗忖。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGfy8vwTbW
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgzAHSLvsm
啪咔。眼角的餘光捕捉到半邊的宮門敞開了。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBuInTdubX
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbHciIgJ7e
亮眼的金黃髮梢從門縫中露出一小撮，碧眼緩緩地從門後冒出，似乎在窺探著宮內。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJxrsi6s7J
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy2b8whqLV
「伊……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnLUrDSZLi
「伊德里爾！」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb53x9lz3wY
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIQkxD8nAG
銀鈴般的呼喚聲迴盪在宮中，帕米拉拎起緋紅色裙擺，噠噠噠地跑到床邊。尼爾則是把門輕輕帶上後，才慢慢走到帕米拉身旁。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDpWjuRMnB
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31na3rDJwp
「妳終於醒了！我好擔心妳！」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rkoBn2Rse
「妳還好嗎……？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTAeQI9AgE
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveE6OAP5KW
擔憂自己的問候此起彼落，模樣儼如兩隻飢腸轆轆的鳥兒，正焦急地向母鳥尋求餵食。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBdrwrgbgt
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZKe8nV4Ff
啪、啪。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFitSDbr1Q
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoGtBtdVv4
伊德里爾輕拍了兩下掌心，打斷了兩人問話，同時也讓他們的視線聚集在自己身上。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBdcKWL1mb
「孩子們，謝謝你們的擔心。」伊德里爾欣喜一笑。「不過我們還是一個一個來吧？像平時上課的時候一樣提問！」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbR37EYSIg
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TyxDGGdEl
語落，帕米拉如同往常一樣堅定且迅速地舉起手。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBJqVwEF12
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq5sqfrgUZ
「我我我！」帕米拉纖細的前臂在半空中揮舞。「伊德里爾妳餓了嗎？渴了嗎？我去請人替妳送吃的過來好嗎！」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV8ChAB2Ny
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWWBRSorqK
「當然好呀，小甜心。」伊德里爾抬手輕揉帕米拉的髮絲，小公主笑顏逐開，接著一溜煙衝出寢宮。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKaJips7Jq
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahaDxYdo2z
這是伊德里爾最喜歡她的地方──直截痛快的行事風格。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHfAjpXi3y
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5XjZ8vSsH
「伊、伊德里爾……」留在原地的尼爾怯生生地詢問：「身體……好一點了嗎……？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjyZh6MlpJ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht4dv0D19j
「雖然不知道睡了多久，不過感覺比好多了。」伊德里爾輕笑。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq0mGRT2ml
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl58ZUxBX0i
小王子上下點了點頭，讓原本處於緊繃狀態的肩膀確確實實地放鬆下來。「太好了……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOVQw1Lpe8
尼爾雖然不像他姐姐那般直率，但善良且富有同理心的他，是絕不會疏於關心的步驟。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlSNYb2jHg
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC7HYWh0Ju
「五天……」尼爾抬眸對視伊德里爾，濃綠的眼曈微動。「整整五天。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw4ckuD0is
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFkY09rZnd
「五、五天？」伊德里爾倒抽一口氣。對她而言，這則消息並非好事。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02vlcrv4dT
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvAGKBJbFv
最近陷入深眠的次數愈來愈多，有時阿特里奇都得喚了好幾聲才會真正清醒過來。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL76X6haVrS
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfMIEPG4MW
伊德里爾心事重重地支手撐頭，向尼爾叮囑道：「以後……萬一我睡得太久的話，請你和小公主不論用何種方式，請一定、一定要叫醒我，好嗎？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzvWWHKknS
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuEV367o3i
尼爾明白隱藏在話語中的重要性，並說了「我會轉告姐姐」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69W0neJp55
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx20Tx4nB3i
「話說回來，阿特里奇去哪了？」按理說，此刻那名守護騎士應當要出現在眼前才是。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd0aAQQZAi
只見尼爾欲言又止的神情，伊德里爾便知在自己睡覺期間裡，估計發生了什麼事。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWgBPXVOHt
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiWyh3OQy2
「阿特里奇她……她去了精靈之森。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFRnt9zsNS
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboOw5gHefA
伊德里爾一陣驚悸，本來好不容易恢復正常運作的腦袋，現在卻變成了茫然且不知所措的白紙，一下子什麼話也說不出來。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWbO4c3YIk
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq0NFc2dIq
「為……為什麼？」伊德里爾感覺自己的牙齒正不斷打顫。「她一個人嗎？是誰讓她去的……？」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1RWb2hjpX
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nPdxclVzI
「是的……而且是阿特里奇自願去的。她說那裡的泉水能讓伊德里爾更快好起來……」尼爾眉尾下彎，表露無奈。「但……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqopbgJHdY
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxMm7KGyvJ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgU6v24I5x
精靈之森……距離這兒騎馬過去最多也就三天，然而端看尼爾凝重的神情──很難不去聯想阿特里奇是否遭遇了困難。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiUmwuLW30
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTLvOzmk52
況且最近聽聞越來越多的族人不喜歡人類踏入森林裡。尤其是那些打從一開始就不信任人類的精靈，他們認為人類是愚蠢無知且蠻橫無禮。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbNfTJRbry
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDBXHMjbUp
據說他們甚至會無聲無息地除掉任何一位入侵者。不分種族、不分性別。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mOxcWqLpN
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsYT3cJB36
精靈之森的泉水不僅是精靈長壽的要素之一，也是某種特效藥，能使人快速消除自身的異狀。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9B40Sqfco
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobDXPGw0Yo
那個笨蛋騎士……伊德里爾雙手揪緊棉被。心臟像是被人掐住般無法正常跳動，上排齒彷彿快要將下唇咬出鮮血。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5EFAt7klj
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2ukMMvtEc
再怎麼樣也不能一個人去啊……伊德里爾心裡焦急如熱鍋上的螞蟻。難以平復的情緒匯聚成一團熱氣流，在她的體內不間斷循環。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFdeU7rAGk
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIqIZXX1Wq
「我……我去外面幫妳看看阿特里奇回來了沒有……！」伊德里爾抱有同樣心情的尼爾，向伊德里爾簡單行禮後，快步離開宮中。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMsKwKNYhi
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3vIbYg4aT
伊德里爾閉眼且雙手交扣，如同修女禱告般嘴巴不停歇地碎念著，像是在吟唱冗長的精靈語。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1kqg81gGh
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISspws2k49
求求您，請別讓她這麼快離開我。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlUyuIVHyd
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2XdgXlY2g
伊德里爾加大握力，向信奉的神明傾訴自己內心深處的渴望。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWncBfCinGG
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjBiO1w72t
「伊德里爾大人。」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlMYmWxBrD
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCcJnpHWok
「……！」伊德里爾驀地瞪大眼睛，朝聲音方向一望。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcsEUTlRNo
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKJQMWi3Fm
「您醒了。」阿特里奇穿著一如往日的白色軍服，一手扶於劍首，另一手貌似握著什麼東西，出現在伊德里爾面前。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL4gDi4KQV
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ1egghSA0
阿特里奇一步步靠近床鋪邊，將手心攤開亮出一罐裝有透明液體的小藥瓶。「或許……喝下這個能讓您趕快──呃！」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXmXTXscyh
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB8dbFBHbt
伊德里爾奮不顧身地擁住阿特里奇的腰圍，隱忍已久的淚水奪眶而出。她感覺心臟正在異於平常劇烈地跳動，彷彿將剛才所有的想法全都拋諸腦後。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDldD2tBVVJ
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq462AWnTFy
「伊德里爾大人？」阿特里奇鮮少地發出驚嘆，手浮在空中不知該如何是好。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE0ea3quxk
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsNuBkQNIi
幸好、幸好……68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ2bWVsOaz
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYVaIlx48E
她回來了，而且毫髮無傷。68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpyM5ilszf
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CwNNNKirj
「讓我……再維持這樣一陣子……」68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm23eVN0hV
