廚房裡,溫暖的晨光透過窗戶灑在石製的長桌上,淡金色的光芒柔和地照亮了一切。鍋裡的油脂發出滋滋聲,清新的蔬菜香氣在空氣中瀰漫開來。艾露緹亞站在餐桌旁,眼睛卻忍不住瞟向路西安的方向。回想起不久前的那一天。20Please respect copyright.PENANAnyqt1lATG1
20Please respect copyright.PENANAW40kXfUhC7
那一天,她正如往常一樣端著親手準備的早餐走進路西安的房間。20Please respect copyright.PENANAcSZ8Sful8w
20Please respect copyright.PENANAKSx0akvQN8
「路西安哥哥,今天的早餐有你最喜歡的蜂蜜麵包哦!」艾露緹亞一邊說著,一邊把托盤放到桌上。20Please respect copyright.PENANAIB90aQtjw0
20Please respect copyright.PENANA1ncXRHuNOj
路西安坐在窗邊,微微抬頭,臉上浮現一絲複雜的表情。他低聲道:「殿……緹亞……你每天這麼做,真的沒必要。」20Please respect copyright.PENANAHaGJAi5hnH
20Please respect copyright.PENANAIHU0A0BXHJ
「為什麼沒必要?」艾露緹亞故作輕鬆地說,「你是我的家人,我為你做點早餐是應該的。」20Please respect copyright.PENANADd1zzIjnVj
20Please respect copyright.PENANAAZxWNX3blX
路西安沉默了一會,似乎在掙扎著什麼,有些難以啟齒,最後抬起頭,用極低的聲音說:「那麼……下次能讓我也參與嗎?」20Please respect copyright.PENANAiZXmVQZagc
20Please respect copyright.PENANAqqJP2hWuME
艾露緹亞瞪大了眼睛:「你說什麼?你要和我一起下廚?」20Please respect copyright.PENANAMD8NWTQx8I
20Please respect copyright.PENANAx04g9QpT6X
「是的。」路西安語氣平靜,卻又帶著一絲不易察覺的羞澀,「我總是接受您的好意,這樣未免太失禮了。如果可以的話,我也想嘗試……做些什麼。」20Please respect copyright.PENANAU7YpiBI1Cm
20Please respect copyright.PENANATKklLGeMAC
艾露緹亞愣了一下,隨即露出燦爛的笑容:「太好了!那就這麼說定了,從明天開始我們一起下廚!」20Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ9hYxjeGR
20Please respect copyright.PENANA63ldOKCqDz
回憶結束時,路西安正低頭專注地切著蔬菜,手指握著刀柄,動作輕巧而精準。相比最初的生疏,他現在的動作已經流暢得多了。20Please respect copyright.PENANA88o0LRNcrH
20Please respect copyright.PENANAIaJuhyciug
「路西安哥哥。」艾露緹亞笑著靠近,語氣裡帶著調皮,「我現在真是越來越佩服你了,沒想到你連切蔬菜的樣子都這麼好看。」20Please respect copyright.PENANA4T7FCRgjkc
20Please respect copyright.PENANAp5nInyx7Ib
路西安沒有抬頭,只是微微懊惱地說:「如果我能更熟練一些,或許殿下就能早點享用早餐了。」20Please respect copyright.PENANAxFiLELMtkx
20Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZWa9Qsl0j
「是緹亞啦!」艾露緹亞不滿地輕哼了一聲,「你又忘記了!明明答應過不再叫我殿下的。」20Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ0moCg0eh
20Please respect copyright.PENANA9er1aM9D6P
路西安這才抬起頭,看了她一眼,眼中帶著幾分無奈:「好吧,緹亞。」20Please respect copyright.PENANAm8dCBAWn1C
20Please respect copyright.PENANA6pJ86vpAmv
這個名字從他嘴裡說出來,總是帶著一種克制的柔和,像是某種不曾輕易展露的情感。20Please respect copyright.PENANAvQRWI319pz
20Please respect copyright.PENANAH72faQiU8X
艾露緹亞微微一笑,並隨意地問道:「路西安哥哥,你還記得第一次跟我一起下廚的時候嗎?」20Please respect copyright.PENANA4d3BqFFVh7
20Please respect copyright.PENANA2aoXaw50KL
「記得。」路西安停下動作,低聲回應,「那時我的烹飪技術實在算不上合格。」20Please respect copyright.PENANAMCv7TT5JV2
20Please respect copyright.PENANAFFOrjMrt83
「何止是『算不上合格』?」艾露緹亞忍不住笑出了聲,「你還直接把菜切成泥了呢!」20Please respect copyright.PENANAqsGp8jKwpW
20Please respect copyright.PENANAefu2MSZXfa
路西安的動作一頓,臉紅的低聲回應:「那是因為你一直在一旁笑,讓我分了神。」20Please respect copyright.PENANAuKZYnD6Jqk
20Please respect copyright.PENANAvJDfrgB1RJ
「那可不是我的錯。」艾露緹亞嘟起嘴,裝出一副無辜的樣子,「是你自己不熟練嘛。」20Please respect copyright.PENANApqGjloSD5S
20Please respect copyright.PENANAELrygsmvOi
路西安放下刀,轉過身看著她,語氣淡然中帶著一絲溫柔:「現在呢?應該還能入得了您的眼吧。」20Please respect copyright.PENANAxaBg43LutM
20Please respect copyright.PENANASSkPaWDBU8
艾露緹亞站起來,湊近看了一眼鍋裡的菜,笑著點頭:「不僅能入眼,還讓人食指大動!路西安哥哥,你真是天賦異稟呢!」20Please respect copyright.PENANAP7oGhp1EVK
20Please respect copyright.PENANA0Rh8Y8fjtU
「那就好,這一年來的努力沒有白費。」路西安輕聲說,眼神裡藏著幾分不易察覺的柔和。20Please respect copyright.PENANAULVuFLJHkG
20Please respect copyright.PENANAKYTeeKuaU5
這一年裡,他們的關係也悄然發生了變化。從最初的一起享用早餐,到後來的下午茶時光,兩人逐漸在日常相處中找到更多的共同語言。他們會在圖書室一起閱讀,偶爾比拼解題速度;也曾在魔法練習場上切磋彼此的魔法技巧,互相指點;更不乏在劍術場上比試。他們還曾在宮廷的木偶劇場裡坐在後排偷笑,評論劇中角色的怪異裝扮。20Please respect copyright.PENANAkCgIgHD9Ys
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3Js9lndSND
「那就快點裝盤吧,我已經迫不及待要嘗嘗你的手藝了!」艾露緹亞輕笑著從餐桌上取下盤子,遞給路西安。20Please respect copyright.PENANA4qSP7QYnkJ
20Please respect copyright.PENANAEd0NUZm7Yy
這樣平坦的日子,他們似乎都以為會永遠延續下去——直到那天……。20Please respect copyright.PENANAOtPs4EXrw3
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQsOZN92yw6
一日清早。20Please respect copyright.PENANAB7YW3UcG92
20Please respect copyright.PENANAldc2VtYrOj
平日裡這個時間,廚房總是熱鬧非凡。廚師們忙著在灶台前翻炒鍋中的食材,侍女們一起備菜的聲音。然而今天,這些聲音在艾露緹亞的耳中變得模糊而遙遠。她坐在椅子上,手指輕輕敲著桌面,目光不時瞟向廚房的門口。20Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7NEizJ6Yz
20Please respect copyright.PENANAgOXfxSLv2q
「殿下,這裡有些油煙味,您要不要先到外廳稍作休息?」主廚雷德恭敬地向艾露緹亞建議。他是一位臉上帶著歲月痕跡的中年男人,身穿乾淨的白色廚師制服。20Please respect copyright.PENANAovruvHKqcQ
20Please respect copyright.PENANAbYTgsBIu3h
艾露緹亞搖了搖頭,神色中透著些許不安:「不用了,路西安哥哥還沒來。我在這裡等他。」20Please respect copyright.PENANAD0TATqeXBQ
20Please respect copyright.PENANAIHvDGYV45A
主廚與王女的貼身侍女伊蓮娜對視了一眼,沒有再說什麼,但廚房的氛圍似乎因此更加安靜。20Please respect copyright.PENANASkWbIWlg4B
20Please respect copyright.PENANAXbnYJg99bY
侍女伊蓮娜走上前一步,關切地低聲道:「殿下,您在擔心嗎?王子殿下可能只是晚了些,或許今日有其他事耽擱了。」20Please respect copyright.PENANA5O5Ratn5yh
20Please respect copyright.PENANAjkjGETAb4Q
艾露緹亞搖了搖頭,語氣比平日更冷靜卻透著不安:「不,他一向準時,就算有事,也會提前告訴我。他不會無故缺席。」20Please respect copyright.PENANAr4w03B3YAn
20Please respect copyright.PENANAVoXgQyLhbJ
見王女神色不安,伊蓮娜試圖安撫:「或許只是偶然一次遲到。如果殿下擔心,不如派人去王子殿下的房間看看?」20Please respect copyright.PENANAVgQL2dEyml
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8sB9Tn7njC
艾露緹亞果斷地搖頭,迅速將圍裙解下放在桌上:「不用了,我親自去看看。」20Please respect copyright.PENANAmMX7PEPjh5
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8bfdNOPT8L
伊蓮娜也擔憂地緊跟在王女身後。留下廚師和侍女們面面相覷。20Please respect copyright.PENANAa8vOzPaHdj
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQDSwBxSQeQ
艾露緹亞和伊蓮娜一前一後走向路西安的房間。空氣中彷彿瀰漫著一絲不尋常的冷意,靜得連她們的腳步聲都顯得格外突兀。當房門漸漸出現在視線中時,伊蓮娜的目光猛然一凝。20Please respect copyright.PENANAVDBIqf7TdN
20Please respect copyright.PENANAeB5JU6wqsz
「殿下!」伊蓮娜伸手輕輕拉住艾露緹亞,疑惑的說道:「今天門口怎麼沒有侍衛?」20Please respect copyright.PENANALDarVc6V19
20Please respect copyright.PENANAbJnPKUtvD9
艾露緹亞的腳步頓時停下,目光看向房門。果然,平日裡應該守在門前的兩名侍衛不知所蹤,整個走廊安靜得讓人毛骨悚然。20Please respect copyright.PENANA9nGkqZEmzt
20Please respect copyright.PENANAdQuxMOUXa5
「他們怎麼不在?」艾露緹亞皺起眉,聲音裡帶著一絲壓抑的憤怒。眼神更是冷了下來,但她沒有再多說話,而是快步走向虛掩的房門。20Please respect copyright.PENANAqnOWShUtss
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8nzZU59t8e
可是,當推開房門的瞬間,一股濃烈的血腥味撲面而來。20Please respect copyright.PENANALuH9lJh6tP
20Please respect copyright.PENANAViFtLJ61lL
路西安的房間內一片狼藉,金絲地毯被扯開,書架翻倒,書本散落滿地,桌上的茶具摔得粉碎,茶水在地毯上留下濕漉漉的污漬,空氣中殘留著血腥與焦灼的氣味。20Please respect copyright.PENANAsVyHnJQf4K
20Please respect copyright.PENANAlHATxxyrHj
艾露緹亞的視線迅速掃過房間,停在了倒在門邊的兩名侍衛身上。他們的鎧甲上滿是裂痕,鮮血從裂口流淌而出,顯然剛經歷了一場激烈的戰鬥。艾露緹亞僵住片刻,隨即快步上前,蹲下查看其中一名侍衛的情況。20Please respect copyright.PENANARV6AsQL8AL
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3U4QdNs7zL
「怎麼回事?」她語氣焦急,輕輕拍了拍侍衛的臉,試圖喚醒他。20Please respect copyright.PENANAWTkMRhcGoU
20Please respect copyright.PENANAFH0eJQkQTu
侍衛緩緩睜開眼睛,臉色蒼白,聲音斷斷續續:「殿下……對不起……我們沒能守住……王子殿下……他被一群蒙面人……帶走了……」20Please respect copyright.PENANAvZVngjOcRj
20Please respect copyright.PENANAr5NeKSRIhX
「蒙面人?」艾露緹亞瞳孔驟縮,心中湧起一股怒火,「他們往哪裡去了?20Please respect copyright.PENANARZVWXeJxkw
20Please respect copyright.PENANAx9WrkJR8Mj
「暗……往暗黑森林的方向……他們像是早有計劃……」侍衛語氣越來越弱,最後幾乎聽不見了。
