高塔上的巫師與王子396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq73pUTwPAb

黑髮少年名為亨利，今年十五歲，乃羅蔓沃居國年紀最小的三王子。幾年前涅澤爾驅雨時碰見了亨利，從此結下不解之緣，若問為什麼會和亨利成為朋友，涅澤爾自己也答不上來，或許是因為他雖為人類，卻在初遇時像其他生物那樣被巫師吸引、而且又笨得可以吧。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQQ5ljsk7m

少年手中捧著人頭大的星象儀，這顆球體漆黑的表面亮著點點星芒，光芒往外投射至四面八方，牆壁與天花板佈滿星點，無窗的黑暗室內頓時成了夜空。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVf8jI4ZiC

亨利望向站在他身側的涅澤爾，對方黑綠色的雙瞳裡映有銀河，恍若兩片飛滿螢火蟲的樹林，在他凝視巫師的當下，涅澤爾輕聲說了句「這個要這樣用才對喔」並伸手觸碰圓球，霎那間星象儀不再投射光線，原先遍佈球體的碎星飄離黑色表面，星子懸浮於空氣中，亨利怔愣地看著近在咫尺的星星，如夢似幻。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPefsVVsSSy

幾分鐘後，星河消散，取而代之的是某幾塊壁磚往旁挪動拉出窗洞，陽光再次照亮室內。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhleuX9UWg3
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQsCbIQUxf
抱著星象儀的亨利望向使用魔法操縱石磚的巫師，歪著頭問道：「你以前就知道這個東西嗎？涅澤爾。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXJGUl085C
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS4j4vEB1o
「這輩子是第一次見到吧。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzruXMhm3k
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhe9GisC5m
「哦……你看一次就曉得怎麼用了呢，好厲害。」亨利呆呆地點頭，伸出雙手奉上星象儀，「王兄說這個送你，希望你去參加半個月後的夏日祭晚宴。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLQQry2xj2
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIMaSo6tJu
涅澤爾沒有接過禮物，語氣裡的不屑表露無遺：「二王子殿下對巫師的評價跟想像也不過如此啊？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYdWZOMgsK
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkADMzEB88d
亨利汗顏著「呃？」了一聲，涅澤爾見他摸不著頭緒的模樣，解釋道：「他猜測我對星象儀有興趣、覺得我會想要，才送我這個的，不是嗎？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaorSlI4s4
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrxUQffJT6
「嗯，對？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3lrlA3OlR
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7jk6qKYDr
「我想要星象儀的話，自己做一個不就得了？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTr43tuxGY
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNTDkVl40S
亨利呆愣著沒有回答，涅澤爾續道：396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha9iDJ9AlH
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmXbYd7a1M
「要是收下了他的禮物，豈不說明我是個連這種東西都做不出來的彆腳巫師？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3nQJ9Jz7h
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCReDm4LqSx
「唔，我想……王兄應該沒有那個意思……」亨利囁嚅著說，他低下頭來，將星象儀重新抱在懷裡，「因為你之前不是喜歡宮裡的魔法道具……」褐髮巫師哼了一聲，同時揮手讓先前無影無蹤的門板現形，方才為了令室內陷入徹底的黑暗，這間房的門窗都暫時消失了，「所以……你半個月後不會來囉？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhyR5zlZb7
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOmpJAZ4tT
涅澤爾見少年失落的模樣，不禁勾起嘴角，這孩子的神情在他看來簡直像低垂著耳朵的幼犬，「你想要我去？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80HwNgxUqc
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllIWYWHqqm
亨利輕輕點頭，涅澤爾笑著回應：「我可沒聽見你邀請我。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvEUCWNMvF
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8zMpLgyg6
「咦？喔！我、我想要你陪我參加夏日祭，涅澤爾──」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMrQqleXff
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnmkAytHlZ
「好。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU01EVYz9Je

「真的嗎？那這個星象儀──」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimkI7IBhlN
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8fu2RLxkb
「你拿回去給二王子。」涅澤爾以不容置喙的口吻截斷亨利的話，「我要他搞清楚，我願意參加的原因跟他一點關係也沒有。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGynI4wjsYs
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn4rr0tXOp
「噢……好。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDXZBIFdT1
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZBT7t0UDW
「你可不要把我說的話告訴他啊。」涅澤爾摸了摸亨利的頭，要是這名小王子在二哥面前口無遮攔，肯定沒什麼好下場。而亨利順從地頷首應允：396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOUO7PmreX

斗大的圓月高掛天際，兩人一龍位在離地好幾公尺的夜穹中，巫師側坐在憑空飄浮的掃帚上，男孩緊挨著他，本該寒冷的高空在魔法的作用下溫度與平地無異，無法在半空中停止不動的白龍繞著掃帚盤旋，牠對巫師耳提面命的模樣活像個操心的老媽子。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wZXwvfAGL

「我會一直在這裡等您，要是您遇上了什麼危險，我一定會下去救您的！」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT6xWuP3O9

「都這麼多年了，我有哪次遇過危險？」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSaAt6KeXm

「人類很壞，涅澤爾大人。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh6G0PtLQ0
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GfP7AGe0u
巫師沒有針對白龍的這句評語做出回覆，說了聲「我先帶亨利下去」便開始降落。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKXwILFNBg

雲霧往兩旁撥開，大地似是另一片無垠的星夜，聚集於城市的燈火由高空往下看，微弱得彷彿一閃一爍的搖曳星芒，羅蔓沃居國廣袤無垠的國土、在此時除了人跡所至之處皆如墨般漆黑，愈往下降，城市的景觀便愈顯清晰，涅澤爾避開其他生物、降落於宮廷花園的無人處，亨利的雙腳踏至地面。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5KFqYT3zB
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNii0O71iSl
「小白還是不喜歡我。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLvgQczlyE
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQnYQg26mt
亨利仰望天空，一臉沮喪，在這裡完全看不到白龍的身影。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZMQZL8gxH
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9i8CdBrbs
「你喜歡小白嗎？」涅澤爾沒有從掃帚上下來，懸在離地稍高的半空，亨利聽了他的話思考片刻便道：396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBYbUZsqJF
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSDD3dAoUb
「好像……嗯，我不喜歡也不討厭小白呢。但是，他畢竟是涅澤爾重要的朋友。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0ea2Wh2f3
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4xzCtKKfI
「小白也沒有因為這種理由喜歡你呀。」亨利呆呆地看著涅澤爾，後者在對方尚未理解語意前便俯身親吻前者，「你只要在乎我喜不喜歡你就夠了喔。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ815Uku15ae
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhKwViYvtm
亨利支吾著表示明白，花園裡離他們最近的一盞燈約有二十步遠，在這種光線下，雙方的容貌皆被隱沒在暗影中，但他想，巫師臉上必定帶著微笑吧。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ2bghBDw3
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTF3Q5UfVX
「那──這次也謝謝你，還有謝謝掃把，晚安，涅澤爾。」396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LC6vWk64v
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eZOU5vvtg
「晚安。」褐髮青年摸了摸黑髮少年的頭，兩人就此分別。396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFBcNVzoOz
