閱兵結束後便是騎士受封大典。這次共有十五位在軍、政、學、醫領域表現傑出的候選人，大葆士便是其中一名。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc78GkSGoB

大葆士在化妝間整理妝容時，葛柏上尉前來找他。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LRNCjXK23
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMXHm3oXju
「少校，您今天辛苦了！」葛柏上尉愧疚地看著正被化妝師努力拆鬍的大葆士：「我必須為昨晚魯莽的言行跟您道歉！」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovyq5sIlOQ
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqfyPMhOrz
「沒關係。」大葆士笑道。然而他的笑容因為臉頰被拉扯的關係，形成誇張弧度。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD6leipDW2
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3QyiyIKGv
「不，我真的很抱歉！您是很偉大的機擬員，我必會用餘生誓死效忠您！」葛柏上尉說完，用力行了一個完美軍禮！287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrEJ8PmHBt
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3aqoTFZBn
大葆士正要回禮時，一直拔不下來的假鬍突然鬆脫，他就這樣一頭撞上梳妝台！287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG7KRX0rAd
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3O4D5Fj9u
「哎呀！我的歡鴿！」眾人驚叫。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBgG5RJlVp
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJeFr1sicT
受封大典在柏金漢宮主殿──「柏金大堂」舉行。女皇及主要王室成員皆會齊聚一堂，給予受封者祝福。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqCuojhCn9
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ5YSgb6Ud
大葆士換上正式軍官裝，以真實模樣參與典禮。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1fHV0KExM
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEpeHhA7yk
原本戰神殿打算讓大葆士依照宣傳照的形象出席，但美編部和公關部在看到大葆士閱兵的野人樣後，毅然決然放棄了這項決定。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwqKfUJhr2
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozpyMOktYC
弄巧成拙的失誤，一次就夠了。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4q1TuA4r0
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9ZBr4z9nz
大葆士是第一次進入柏金漢宮的主殿，平民無法入內，只有王室貴族和高階政要才能登堂。然而，只要成為王室騎士，日後便可以自由進出主殿，享受最低貴族的待遇。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKTCoL46pk
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3zbu6Z2Pf
輪到大葆士進行受封了。他慎重的走上台階，在女皇腳前屈膝跪地。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqjoiItHje
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk3QksbKld
「機擬員少校大葆士 ‧ 溫頓，吾今日奉歡鴿旨意，冊封汝為荊心騎士。今後汝將不惜一切保衛國土，守護弱者。無畏不懼！無堅不摧！此誓言汝必銘記在心，永誌不忘！」女皇平舉沒有劍尖的長劍，將其按在大葆士的右肩上，祝福道。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22PhsT17RU
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94ksJcidV1
女皇收起長劍，微彎下腰扶起大葆士，布滿皺紋的臉龐帶有無比的暖意。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS3CPQmAtP
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TP7ASLcJH
「孩子，你今天表現得很好，布列斯托能擁有你是何等的幸運。」女皇看著大葆士輕語，後者臉頰泛起紅暈。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZalEYfc2v
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RbeOSFNYe
「謝謝您的讚賞，女皇陛下。」大葆士不敢貿然直視女皇，當上騎士是布列斯托平民的夢想。對於 10 歲還躺在髒亂酒瓶堆裡過活的大葆士而言，可從來沒想過自己會有這麼一天。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLsEjvLuuW
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1b4lLBOO7
「不過你好像長得跟剛才不太一樣呢。」女皇露出慈祥帶點慧黠的微笑：「這才是你原本的樣子，對吧？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJnldeMj0K
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPUOzbRAjq
「是的，女皇陛下。」大葆士有些尷尬的低下頭。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ3mrkrIUn
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JWurggCEi
接著是授與騎士胸章的儀式。依照布列斯托王室傳統，每位騎士將由大王子或大公主的子嗣親手別上騎士胸章。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn89nkw4NIH
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy8pllFwOm
大王子威卡漢 ‧ 金列斯有三名孩子，這次的授與儀式將由今年滿 20 歲的三公主──艾雀 ‧ 金列斯主持。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjoWsXQaqn
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBinprgP50q
艾雀 ‧ 金列斯三公主為王室著名的可人兒，也被媒體譽為集美麗與感性於一身的文學公主。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxwqPJYDs3
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fsmdgKbHR
艾雀三公主雖然還是大學生，卻已經出版過不少膾炙人口的愛情文學作品。美麗的她擁有眾多追求者，也因此經歷過幾段戀情。而這些戀情都幻化成她筆下的唯美愛情故事。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3eiTWMqKs
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCFtbVqHPd
身著水藍半肩禮服的艾雀公主依序為一字排開的新任騎士們別上胸章。有好幾名男性騎士在對上艾雀公主那水靈靈的大眼時，臉頰同耳根子紅了起來！287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYmXFGVbTM
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZL27qhbue
「願歡鴿祝福你。」艾雀公主清澈好聽的嗓音讓騎士們聽得如癡如迷。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1xGySRg1f
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHz5GP9IA4
艾雀公主捧著特製胸章盒來到大葆士面前，她看向大葆士，後者眼睛眨也不眨的直視她。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C24IMFenx
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gWo7ntGTe
「……願歡鴿祝福你。」艾雀公主停頓了兩秒，隨後打開盒子，為大葆士別上胸章。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufqahmFKG7
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTEuVA1rLN
別好胸章後，艾雀公主纖長的手指停在大葆士的胸口上，遲遲沒有移動。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Y9z2U3SI
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr1X7yXSIm
「殿下，該輪到下一位了！」一旁侍從小聲提醒，艾雀公主這才回過神！她快速抽回手，尷尬地離開大葆士面前。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FWqi75dpo
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjalMrr8O0
受封大典結束後便是下午茶會。原本大葆士預計在結束後前往「象牙基地塔」與巴特夫進行交接，但女皇讓人傳訊給他，希望他能留下來與年紀相仿的王子公主們一起喝杯茶。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nE0SxigBX
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxG8tZanIt
大葆士來到茶會舉行地點，也就是皇宮後花園。花園由專業花匠精心打造，並聘請園丁隨時照護，別緻景象讓大葆士在花叢前逗留許久。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMJU5t1Nqf
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v5UL0eEuB
「那是『金葉莓』，口感甜甜澀澀的。」大葆士的背後響起清澈女音，大葆士連忙側身彎腰，朝艾雀公主行禮：「艾雀殿下好。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA2XC9Lox7
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtdmnEDzog
「你好，溫頓少校。」艾雀公主露出淺笑：「你對植物有興趣嗎？喜歡的話，不妨摘一個試吃看看，我小時候很常吃的。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3J0Z0yMWW
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YgBrkyeOm
「不用了，謝謝殿下。」大葆士維持行禮姿勢不動。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbjQP0P55I
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSdH4n1mFr
「沒關係的，啊，你請先站好吧。」艾雀公主伸手摘了一顆顏色最為鮮豔的莓果，遞到大葆士手上：「請用，溫頓少校。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoF4mrOYtP
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jjdLr1wPf
「謝謝殿下。」大葆士直起身，接過公主給的莓果。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezJKGo2SXH
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN1sgyVlm6
「金葉莓的汁液具補血作用，對女性來說是很好的補品。殿下可請御廚幫您熬煮成果茶，飯後飲用。」大葆士說完將莓果放進嘴裡。艾雀公主眨眼。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJjo0w9Kso
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3GaCJTWM1
「聽聞少校是高閣醫學大學跳級畢業的高材生，果然是博學多聞！」艾雀公主讚揚道：「溫頓少校，我想邀請你一同到位上喝茶，不知你意下如何？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1hgT5xhoG
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKAwf2Ml8z
「那是我的榮幸，殿下。」大葆士再度彎腰。鮮豔莓果其實是過熟的，味道很苦，他心想。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUew3ec0g4c
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfiisOZWFA
在艾雀公主的邀請下，大葆士來到茶會區。只見穿著精緻的貴族們一派輕鬆的坐在典雅沙發上，邊聊天邊享用美味茶點。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7Um1aSwh1
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcen8SDw7ag
「溫頓少校，請坐。」艾雀公主讓侍女去準備新鮮茶點，打算與大葆士一起享用。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniSLmiuPuf
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC3U7mTSdz
然而，大葆士卻是站在原處，一動也不動。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd45B7tHBs
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAwjzrMzuo
「溫頓少校？」艾雀公主輕喚道，大葆士盯著眼前享受生活的王室貴族們，瞳孔失去光澤。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXtY8UuOIi
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSiVMqHr59
「大葆士？」艾雀公主喊道，大葆士回神，面帶歉色的朝公主行禮道歉。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm8AOiE9F3
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp4jd5BHpp
「不用那麼拘束，其實我們年紀差不多的。」艾雀公主笑道：「以後只有我們兩個的話，你不用對我行禮，說好了。」她小聲補充。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPxU2NOOob
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIW2Cc2ui8
「好的，殿下。」大葆士點頭。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Qlvb0sQu
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChigSokERm
侍女提著點心塔和剛泡好的奶茶上桌。大葆士看著裝滿精緻茶點的餐塔，露出笑眼。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxUpPUsRI5
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYS7aNyOkG
「少校喜歡吃甜點嗎？」艾雀公主注意到大葆士在笑，於是問道。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cTlct9f2a
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cr9T9CQCq
「Hehe ，不是，只是第一次看到這麼漂亮的食物。」大葆士專注看著塔上的小蛋糕，殊不知艾雀公主正透過餐塔的間隙欣賞他的表情。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvFJQQm7aH
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVitKy8TVd
「請吃吃看。你喜歡的話，我可以再請御廚準備一份。」公主笑道。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrvSZj0f1R

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx32awQ61D
「請問少校有閱讀文學書籍的習慣嗎？」飲茶過程中，艾雀公主問道。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr4uH8Rg8a
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1CNNrRMYP
「有的，閒暇時會看。」大葆士小心翼翼的把蛋糕上的白巧克力片摘下，艾雀公主眨眼。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZzuf4g4vu
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEHAYHzWJD
「那……你都看什麼類型的？情感類的你會看嗎？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtObXY2If3a
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlJzokj41g
「多半是哲學，不看情感。」大葆士把巧克力片放進口中，艾雀公主抿嘴。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8eNuKMPkd
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DSL8r5yvK
「希望我這麼問不會冒犯到你。」艾雀公主看著大葆士：「請問少校有情人嗎？」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8O9AhWAcR
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IT1qPJg0g
大葆士挑眉，公主見狀連忙打圓場。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOBYGt4PWJ
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM7eDdaVVR
「請別誤會，因為你剛才提到很少在看情感作品，所以我才好奇是不是已經有陪伴對象才不感興趣……」艾雀公主伸手撥弄垂在耳際下的髮絲，模樣有些失措。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwsUgc58Q8
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbmKo6OCJi
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukea0BhDXi
「我沒有情人，也認為自己不值得擁有。」大葆士望向遠方若隱若現的鋼鐵牆：「我能做的，就是保護各位與各位的情人，讓大家能安心延續人類的文明。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2vMO8Leno
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyWdAALY0C
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfc6Ay5EPI
「請別這麼說，溫頓少校。」艾雀公主皺起漂亮的濃眉：「我完全不認為你不值得擁有，你在大眾眼裡是相當出眾的男性。」287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJFh2hwgWS
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a53LGTpCd
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdp2YWuLDB
「艾雀姊姊！」公主身後傳來銀鈴般的笑聲，只見一名穿著新潮的亮麗女孩從背後一把環住她的脖子，將頭抵在她的肩頸處笑看坐在對面的大葆士。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUFhfStm39
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4RqqE6vjY
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrylmB3Z0n

「希文，在貴賓面前這樣太沒禮貌了。」艾雀公主無奈道，她輕搖頸部示意女孩鬆手。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsEXXT1GWa
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYayu6Hg7R4
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvdoNPWIta
「您好，希文 ‧ 溫莎 ‧ 衛利普公主殿下。」大葆士對這名字有印象，他連忙從位上站起，對溫莎大公爵今年剛滿 18 歲的愛女行禮。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p7Bp1qJMN
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl43McijaL
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmnFTEsaUC
「我太驚訝了！沒想到大葆士 ‧ 溫頓實際上這麼年輕！」希文公主坐到艾雀公主旁邊：「哇！長得還有點可愛欸！」她眼角勾起。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlq09Y5n5u
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cqXC7QiEf

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6Kk6NSDRq
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBWEwSR6tR
「溫頓少校知道我嗎？有在雜誌上看過我嗎？」希文公主說完站起身，開始在附近走起台步。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO90cDW2Cjp
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINDCHttrrt
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX4ov7n7Sd
「知道，殿下是模特兒。」大葆士回答，猜謎他可從來沒輸過。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXBp4tDrNP
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcNoGKSFpF
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslEb6FIqPA

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFvuXagx5I
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ki8ctTZ2

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyRjrejNes
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ao6viNfQT
「真的嗎？可是你從剛才開始就沒有在看我啊！只是一直看著後面的樹！」希文公主說完來到大葆士旁邊，緊挨著他的腳邊蹲下並且仰頭望著他。287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZiS3So4UT
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHFtMmFJBw
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7BmJppRNX

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ10lZzHNXh
名貴茶壺從托盤上飛出，大葆士見狀立即伸出右手！魔方迅速從腕帶蔓延而出，眨眼間便構成一具機械手臂，在茶壺落地前及時接下！287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTaNSt0HyZ
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Dlcv1SdG
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywjfM0D47K
