一般的孩子學會說話的時候，第一個會的詞是「媽媽」。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA69klxxI7B
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLzAdeYTIW
可是龍卻跟一般的孩子有點不一樣，他第一個說出口的詞彙，是「父親」，他第二個詞則是「徹」。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6K5pdJLrd
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkgNn6NAkE
徹．曼德沙，魔族之王，也他父親的名字。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyCRXkcPsQ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GG4hT1aM1
他的人生也圍繞著父親開始。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsMXhdxlbx
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnExbhsOz5
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nGTUJaazb
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lnq14eabT
從有記憶開始，徹總是陪伴在身邊。對龍而言，徹是他的父親、兄長、老師，更是他的世界。對幼時的他而言，這些詞彙並沒有差別，在龍理解這句話的意思之前，就已經樹立了不少敵人。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlEpzNuQcA
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xkbAcLlHW
不論是哭是笑，徹總是在他身邊，龍只有很少的時候才會獨處，有記憶以來，龍總是在等待徹，以至於身邊的人向他搭話讓他楞了一下。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAn9ai7EwE
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCw2lWXelH
這個人是魔族的皇后，是坐在徹身邊的女人，叫做星澄。她的短髮齊耳、五官端正，相貌比看起來更年輕。她對龍招了招手，表情看不出是什麼意思。她猶豫了許久，才說：「龍，你跟陛下太親近了。如果覺得無聊，可以找露陪你。老待在陛下身邊，像是什麼樣子。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHBByX7mzF
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lUKZ8zfnU
「什麼樣子？」龍抬起頭，女人有瞬間愣住了：「就像是情人。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ7JoWqHX0
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A3qep9yKV
「什麼是情人？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5eIfwGPHD
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmqzPZfb3I
「這是個好問題，我想想該怎麼回答。」星澄被這問題噎住了，她蹙著柳眉，認真思索著，「所謂的情人，就是見不得光的存在。這些人，只能在黑暗中待在愛人身邊的存在。是注定被愛折磨的可憐人。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdZONt16Fy
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9Etcfg1EV
「什麼是見不得光？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPvXPAhC2i
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnddnFNtyfV
「就是在一起很丟臉，沒有人會承認你。」星澄耐著性子說下去，「我會勸勸他，但我想未必有效。我只是想告訴你，這樣下去……」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2e3V6AFea
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMH5AmoFZ1
「這樣下去？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEya0RZtY1c
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt5dpH1OWk
星澄皺著眉頭，「你們會後悔。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHVmmduyVp
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uo7GKW0cb
龍微微歪頭，不知道是不是聽懂了，老氣橫秋地回了一句：「我知道了。」這神情與口吻，簡直就像是他父親。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59WBFfuAha
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7GSunZ3WJ
星澄笑道：「你該做的，是多多認識同年的孩子。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3d2g9cb10
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF1gIuF7M5
「我只有徹就夠了。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6RcxaxBFS
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX4eqpH4DJ
星澄道：「如果你只有一個避風港，一旦這個地方消失，你就會崩潰。雖然我不知道你能聽懂多少，但是，這確實是我的肺腑之言。如果你聽不懂，那很好，一但聽懂的那天，請你認真考慮我的話。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLK9XWg4Yc
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB5GrDUlzg
龍認真地看著她，記著她說的話，笑逐顏開。「謝謝您，皇后陛下。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnkGhozk06
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzeNRtfvPp
然而，這卻是這對名義上的母子最後一次平和地談話。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghPixyKQLR
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSH8kwO0i7
＊357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx82tDK01Cr
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GiwK6woQb
整個魔界只有小皇子會直呼魔王陛下的名諱。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGx92Zs2Hb
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLJ66U8DhA
這稱呼帶著的縱容與溺愛，讓皇宮對這位小王子避而遠之。不管到哪裡，都看得到他們兩人的身影。王需要工作，小皇子也該學習。這時候，徹就會留下幾本書，然後在他臉上留下親吻，為了討好父親而學習。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjEVe4mr2J
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEli84YUE5
達成目標之後，徹會給他一個禮物。從糖果、玩具、娃娃、魔獸的心臟、書本以至於一整天的時間，心思敏捷、好奇心十足的小皇子什麼都要求過。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qnh6AD8lO
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1QTq1Zo0H
六歲的某一天，龍要求了一個特別的禮物：「可以親我嗎？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbTVPajvkx
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHxmmf0lMe
徹很驚訝，「你知道這代表什麼意思嗎？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9GT3DwveF
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUIqaBuOkY
「是很喜歡的意思。你不喜歡我嗎？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9z66aMD8h
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZHUwlqtOS
「……你是我的孩子，我當然喜歡你。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZDZKql7Qj
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVOwVu065p
龍笑了開來，小雞啄米似的親吻了徹。他伸手捧住徹的臉，見他稍微側頭避開，卻不高興了：「不要亂動。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA5XrDkCJR
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazveyeZzcA
「為什麼突然想這麼做？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC92j5piY8
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9vNSs5KoN
龍有點得意：「因為大皇后說不可以。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojjxhWoIK2
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TlOYhLICW
徹把他摟到懷裡，發出低笑：「你討厭她嗎？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn3nvcTeuL
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkzOfYkAYs
「不討厭，但也不喜歡。我聽不懂她在說什麼。我覺得他很煩。」龍蹭到了父親懷裡，「但我不喜歡她看著我的表情，她討厭我獨佔你。所以，我就特別想看她不舒服的表情，惹她不高興。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG9GhY8F5w
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUpBTGi157
「……為什麼？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMA7tiUU7B
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPhiee1ktA
「因為無聊。」龍微微抬起頭，做出了親吻的動作，卻沒真的吻下去，自顧自地咯咯輕笑。徹維持笑容，卻說：「別擔心，我會跟她談談。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhSvWUxFyK
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagTw0AJice
「好啊。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKznEbULHXt
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGED2ho6Lov
龍隨口回應了幾句，開始講起這幾天的生活。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDekdQqWVo
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdG2L1o0Mf
「說起來，我見到姊姊了。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk50f5znlHg
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80SjPChAtt
「哪個姊姊？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ2zfpZHVg
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcYVM6VNUw
「叫做露，跟大皇后很像。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnte0r5bmU
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6kRj5bpy8
星澄讓他跟姊姊露見了面，這個大他二十歲的姐姐見了他就特別興奮，老是繞著他轉或者送東西。龍口中雖然嫌煩，敘說時卻滿臉笑容，顯然對這個姊姊很有好感，還不時發出笑聲。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu7yXtIbkZ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOwI3WWX6t
徹本來很樂於讓龍有自己的生活圈，也信得過露的性格，就乾脆把龍交給她。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnLYWstRPr
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GB1l2sPat
滄雨城王宮之內歌舞昇平，離開了都城卻是殺聲震天。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyCEucdmSS
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOuuuc1vNg
這幾天，徹經常不在，偶爾回來也是滿身血腥。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wRLDe8eFR
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAfV8jIQ8b
拖著疲憊的身體回到了皇宮，本來就推開房門，卻停了下來。他轉過頭，在龍的離宮休息。這離宮本來是他給自己的休憩處，最初為了在星澄的手中保護龍的性命，就見了這個離宮。現在，這裡是龍的寢宮，也是這位小暴君的住處。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPvKvOnZQK
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZVRAz0ibk
明月高掛，魔族是受到黑暗所愛的種族，入夜之後傷口恢復得很快，如今，身上的傷痕已經看不見了。黑色衣服浸鮮血，散發濃厚的血腥氣，倒影中那張少年清秀的臉龐沒有笑容，眉眼中殺氣四溢。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7k5rea3iF
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6yIkEiCE9
……平靜不下來。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXpcuJXLaK
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hu1KzXduK
傷口好了，卻仍隱隱作痛，死者的哀鳴與憎恨言猶在耳。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5bBzF3GJA
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRQExj69xT
太陽穴隱隱抽痛著。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1foS6ppIHj
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG5MpUzhdC
徹望著水中的自己，戲謔地抬了台嘴角。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuPbCMoVyQ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptEclcVE7m
「真可悲，就像是受傷的野獸一樣。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhtTzVc3Xv
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn0A0CvfQm
為什麼還是無法習慣？這種時候，他經常難以入眠，也不能回到寢宮。大皇后星澄出自魔族的神之國「月妃郡」，生來就是祭司的她對與血腥味特別敏感。剛結婚的時候，他們因此有過爭吵，所以才有這棟離宮。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwhPdHNv8D
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tbxoIg8XR
這是魔王的責任，只要在王座上的一天，就必須懷抱著痛苦活下去。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gp27CacXQ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10CEqUIFLf
這痛苦是活著的證明，是存在的證明。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0W4FbrI8c
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY169k01fIv
幾百年來，他一直是這樣想的。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiZI2enfhB
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6QJRiFr7N
「……徹，你回來了。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6i3f3qtXf
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvPuqALYFu
屬於孩童的聲音半睡半醒，徹愕然抬頭，看見龍揉著眼睛走過來。徹下意識想跟他拉開距離，「怎麼還不睡？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGyemgbGa4
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJNnJnyRZD
「還沒有跟你說晚安。」他的聲音很模糊，向是撒嬌又像懇求。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJcGIrKZfm
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP4CPwKkuZ
「不要過來。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsKUpym9xg
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrXtkV3Wix
龍微微歪頭，「為什麼？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oyShGNJJK
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ29w4K8Il6
「我身上有血腥味，怕你害怕。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0dn2lI3jm
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV4Wc7vavj
龍跟平常一樣向他走來。「我聞到了，但是沒關係，很快就會洗乾淨了。」扔下的魔劍在池邊發出詭異的哀鳴，鮮血的氣味幾乎染紅了大半片池水。龍湊在浴池邊對他笑：「晚安，徹。」他想了想，「晚安吻？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2teCUJK0A
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55aDgsztCw
徹不禁失笑，這肯定是從露或者冽那裏學來的。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqj5A60G2t
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbZ1r4cKoy
那兩個孩子已經成年，即使在戀人面前舉動親密也不避諱，龍經常有樣學樣，有時候讓他覺得非常困擾。卻只有這次，他特別感謝這種胡鬧。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrY28ZD8Nl
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX6VbzyOxx
徹扶著額頭，發出壓抑的低笑。「過來。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFw1Xtbq7F
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFE1uwlZ6P
龍沒有猶豫，踏過了滿地血腥走過來。徹在龍垂頭的時候，湊上去吻了他。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj2HCTpW8m
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeadbfxnyga
「不要等我了。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHlWYhNS7e
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwRIPYge8s
龍道：「我就要等，你看，我不是等到你了？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JeMRMXz9Q
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtbH97SDpR
徹啼笑皆非地看著他，不知何故，隱隱作痛地傷口似乎不再疼痛。他遲疑地開口：「以後……我也能過來嗎？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV6NRwPVZI
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLxZAVTeOk
「好啊。」龍笑起來，紫羅蘭色的眼眸看來天真又邪氣，「如果你不來，一定要先告訴我，我會想著你進入夢中。這樣一來，我們就可以在夢裡相遇了。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fVDUozqqb
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHXvol50Tu
徹俯視著他。「你不怕我嗎？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJzQMjnaKq
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIB0CZK0uR
「為什麼要害怕？」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NXusx1sN7
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC19kltsMas
徹深深地吻了他，這回卻不是像上一次那樣打招呼的親吻。龍被他吻得臉頰微紅，恍惚的看著他卻笑了：「太好了，是平常的徹。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMRRhK5129
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowntUCtNcj
如果說是哪一步走錯了，或許就是那時候的第二個吻吧。從那之後，只要受了傷，徹就會回到龍的身邊。從這天開始，徹經常會跟龍一起過夜。光是看著他，痛苦就會減輕，即使被詛咒纏繞也能夠入眠。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9LODrBHWr
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfXAAKGgWa
「對不起。」357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzVUJ8Lq2E
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlprMDvy1h
道歉重複了兩次，事實上，不管重複幾次都不夠。357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0cpwVvNhY
