穿著海藍軍裝，留有一頭酒紅長髮的女子坐在黑檀木製的大桌前，此刻正惡狠狠的瞪著站在窗邊，背對她的老人。131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz4bXNjCtY

坐在後座的機擬員中將巴特夫 ‧ 蘭基摘下脖套，拿起放在一旁的領帶。131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoV3oIuM7L

負責開車的老管家偷瞄在後照鏡中一動也不動，只是凝視領帶的巴特夫，眼角不禁勾起。131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7MiRuPP1j
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6ApeZArCR
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRygQ86rXds
還是跟以前一樣，不會打領帶呢！老人正要開口詢問是否需要幫忙時，巴特夫已經打上領帶。131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrapm1rEzFs
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWgfCIoCMI
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLZor1oePy
老管家有些失落，但知道他已經不是當年那個老是要他偷偷幫忙打理儀容的小孩，心裡不禁泛起欣慰。131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PCGWjLsRh

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgw6NNg1WY
「……小夫少爺、不，應該說是蘭基中將。」老管家出聲。自從在機場見到巴特夫後，他一直找不到話題開口。眼見即將抵達目的地，還要打理莊園雜事的他或許再也找不到機會跟這位 14 年不見的小少爺說說話。131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw5yOf27L4

今天是世界前五大建設公司──「蘭星集團」成立 80 周年的紀念日。集團現任總裁──麥考夫 ‧ 蘭基廣發邀請函給熟識官員、合夥人和部屬，讓大家一同見證集團的光輝。131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpfy1WTxOa
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp3CQfTLOk

與家人長達十四年沒聯絡的他，昨晚收到寄件人為父親的邀請函後，立即知會戰神殿，隻身從「象牙基地塔」趕回歡鴿。131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoazg65Pzwf
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO0doOYejI

巴特夫和大葆士鮮少在媒體前露面。雖然不像已經不是本人的大葆士宣傳照那麼誇張，但巴特夫秀氣外貌對戰神殿公關部而言依舊不甚理想，對外宣傳照仍舊躲不過被調整的命運。131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUOy2QnyLl

「麻煩您了。」巴特夫點頭。他往老管家前進方向看去，只見有一小群被簇擁著的人在高聲闊論。131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHuHfIEw43
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvcL6wmAW4

等待過程中，一名套著綠色脖套，全身造型跟巴特夫如出一轍的眼鏡小男孩在經過他旁邊時猛地停下，側過頭毫不客氣的打量他。131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFloIi6spR

巴特夫瞄了他一眼。小男孩突然睜大眼，指著他外套衣袖下露出一角的魔方腕帶，劇抖不停！131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoS5zqWHzU
