「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQY2tX0Ubo
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDUz8Gylem
烏爾莉卡的視線越過鬣狗少年的肩膀，看見另一名更嬌小......甚至稱得上消瘦的嬌小身影站在不遠處。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp1MHKRerI
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DCF64aG5l
這名女孩才剛滿十歲左右，如銀雪般色澤的髮絲與跟烏爾莉卡幾乎一模一樣，可與母親冷冽且堅定的目光不一樣的是，她的雙眸則透漏一份出於擔心受怕、逆來順從的神情。即使周遭的天氣潮濕炎熱，而且羊毛服裝將她從頭頂到腳裸包裹得緊緊的，她瘦小的身子卻仍在微微哆嗦，宛如寒風中的落葉，一吹就會飛走。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqdEXWg6Ek
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PGntmoKUk
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8AEMDTv3S
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrK8kIZwC0
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡastGSrpCGc
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7QClop36u
只見銀髮小女孩的肩膀一震；每當母親說出自己全名時，就代表她自己惹上麻煩了。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGmrjNIFVh
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofhKJQLhVP
「你害媽媽擔心極了你知道嗎？妳怎麼沒告訴我就自己跑出去？」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEaIojQ1cK
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jGgMr2KjA
烏爾莉卡的雙眸乍一看泛著幾乎可稱之為冰冷的色澤，但面對女兒時卻實實在在充盈著、並釋放著無法忽視的溫暖熱度。只不過當她在詢問女兒時，著急的口氣中帶了點咄咄逼人的味道。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Zs7GSRAV
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXtGq7opoQ
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNslasZvnB
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSXi1rADkQ
直到此刻，烏爾莉卡才注意到女兒手上提著一只裝滿清水的木製水桶。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqXXL8NU3N
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr1YSeSAiS
「是他叫你去提水來的？」烏爾莉卡狠狠瞪向一旁癱坐在地上，乾咳著的鬣狗少年。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg3qCGxHJy
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B6XxXKvmP
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAcdHC4j9a
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBeFIYawS3
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ri3bqWhSg
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOFSKjo8SZ
她輕輕搖了搖頭。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKIskkMO3W
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxdUN0tQiT
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpxYLQ2RnA
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHm58wo29p
「幫忙？」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR0pNR9FEk
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvUiL1Vbfj
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaZBsm78vH
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EsqN9ufU9
女兒這句話頓時觸動了烏爾莉卡的心弦，一陣難以言喻的刺痛與哀愁湧向她的心頭。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fF4OQWZjN
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lpUu1GCOb
「傻孩子，挑水這種事交給我去做就行了。」烏爾莉卡說：「我們也可以向挑水夫買水呀。更何況水井又這麼遙遠，一路上可能會發生許多危險。」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCOgG04AqT
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTBAZrdaVC
「可、可是......」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVM4ZNd5f6
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULPPNpxTvs
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ecwX4BPd5
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkBbPk57yB
「啊......喔......」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3uWPDEsYh
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyAdLBWoDD
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ2NvAbSSj
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesukIYDv29
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUb1arJh3A
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbgp8Zl132
有些時候她還真希望女兒能對她大聲嚷嚷想要什麼，而不是把所有心事一股腦的全往肚裡吞。這孩子內斂性格多半是從她那繼承下來的，但莎薇卻嚴重缺乏在必要時挺起胸膛、堅定信念的勇氣與決心。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU3kWfYpZU
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjxuAq5IBY
烏爾莉卡輕嘆一口氣；畢竟莎薇自出生後就不斷遭遇各種變動——而且還都是負面的那一種！991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjJSHIIVAz
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pPDqLg9Dd
每況愈下的生活環境，讓莎薇連一個舒服的夏日午後都得引頸期盼，最終導致她對於未來缺乏期許。更別她的未來簡直能稱之為一片迷茫。烏爾莉卡常常見到莎薇臉上露出茫然無神的表情，就連那一雙大大的眼睛都顯得目光渙散。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNgxTLDDZO
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iUoSejb42
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gxZmspXfb
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS8Oso7d0T
不行！991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn9q2KtFso
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLdrOpzlE3
她搖了搖頭。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ1tMsE63v
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgCuuxsuGy
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmNKw6lq1b
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6qiF8qk3e
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtyxPidCSl
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSqRkGmaKl
就在此時，烏爾莉卡的思緒被艾塔奇的喃喃自語給拉了回來。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Unp2msh3l
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrUWfJ3THx
她轉過頭去，看見剛才被自己抓起來的鬣狗少年搖搖晃晃地重新站起身子，他的臉色似乎還有些蒼白。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoKa5NcUw3
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2USsaGG1P
「下一次您又要找莎薇小姐的話，請別用這麼粗暴的方式。」艾塔奇邊說邊揉了揉自己發紅的脖子。「剛才是莎薇小姐主動找我去挑水，我一路上我都有看顧好她的安全。」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHnW2VIsK2
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX9yj2w3B4
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2TpZ9OtRj
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmsJaBBhAk
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUwe2vNZpH
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCMpb2MCSh
「就......就算是這樣，我也不放心將她交給其他人帶，更別說是頭野獸人了。莎薇是我人生的一切。假如她發生什麼萬一的話，我絕對饒不了任何人......或鬣狗。」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpQCd3DxBg
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA2cb4aHYl
烏爾莉卡本以為自己凌厲的目光會使對方膽怯，但艾塔奇反而直率地迎向她的目光。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKB4JyBBwh
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfl6Gj9oO4
「這是當然的！」艾塔奇拍胸保證，一字一句都誠摯無比。「我清楚曉得莎薇小姐對您有多麼的重要，我會盡自己最大的力量來保護她！」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfphcvUAtp
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH4QHWkhUa
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg62NmjlRrI
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqpWCxgj0n
烏爾莉卡不自覺地避開他的視線，對眼前這名少年坦率的言行有點招架不住。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDRDarlYNP
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmzNrPXkMQ
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBAsGibOOx
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXGqVVTocZ
「您是我的女王。而我，出身於鬣狗獸族的艾塔奇，也曾發誓過女王的願望是我的願望！」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJypQQzxlH
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSneLigN5t
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlayjdZ7bcH
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjO3WlDG8k
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduUXocOWrf
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT82QCFM5dE
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVOLIiY0r6
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDoFNktaK0
一位是他全心侍奉氏族族長，這是因為統治鬣狗氏族的皆是女子。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC3bZQkeVF
一位則是他親愛的妻子。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWBwzaK31J
烏爾莉卡夫人是我的妻子，所以我稱呼您為女王完全沒有問題！」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g4bKxq1ff
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp8k1wNK0D
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8UZS55uvD
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukcPOU1q6y
「可是我們倆已經在尼卡罕(nikah)——婚姻婚契上簽了名，從此我們倆就是夫.....夫妻了......」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa9qf7id1X
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu01osRrqyU
烏爾莉卡忽然注意到艾塔奇雙頰泛起紅潮，只見他乾咳了幾聲，目光左右飄動，似乎不知道該看哪裡才好。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboSfTdGzUz
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilMvg0jd5o
直到此時，烏爾莉卡這才發覺自己頭髮凌亂，幾縷銀色髮絲貼在脖頸上，脖子至鎖骨及雙峰處香汗淋漓。身上的白色羊毛上衣更是全被汗水浸溼，顯露出她曼妙姣好的身材。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ANcJSA6j6
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCvNnMUj1w
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbieF6fxClb
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcaFxlYrAA
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6XkYxrePe
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05uLEBaIBl
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIiFNxpG3L
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JhZrAsvdD
「不需要！」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKtxBPoVcs
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6ulOyeCF8
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumLaa0UZUL
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNORZnMAbgP
「又怎麼了？」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaFuMllM34
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPPJyukU3A
「您住在這也有一個多星期了，」艾塔奇紅著臉緩緩的低下頭，一臉羞澀地說：「是時候該盡一下妳的.....職責吧？」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9ltruysnt
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjNHUgs76f
「職責......」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRKX4xhqfo
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qfSzsCeqs
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoodkjwgWa
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsppQN0dNuh
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL46qjbEsYc
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C8zNMAclY
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniMiGlkyhj
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHX4VygHhU
可是當烏爾莉卡重新面向對方，她正巧一眼對上艾塔奇那雙誠懇溫暖、閃閃發光的眼眸。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lLidC3oiW
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ84GPVTwP
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvkOs9NpvJ
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWds70WbjAi
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xPjjUc4kM
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39a3JcKNTA
「嗯。」991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIIFk825YX
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHpvthoUsp
烏爾莉卡冷漠地點了點頭，然後轉身離去。但是在那張冰冷面孔之下，卻是一個正在吶喊的靈魂。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFKF960ko1
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw3FUgdBrW
我明明是個三十歲的婦人，為什麼這個十二歲的男孩會成為我的丈夫啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8w3Yjqt1W
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9zBdEu0Kz
內心被這份難以言喻的困惑所衝擊，使得烏爾莉卡不禁回憶起自己過往的人生，以及不久前發生的那齣重大事件。991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD31O504X1v
