「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrfPM58qaK
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWhEPfCmTK
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFHjMqkcKk
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UHayrzlbo
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj6G309Rnw
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI2ufYyrdk
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC4FLaErtW
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm5ax5sZhw
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvv7KtgDuo
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOroILboBkG
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzL30rlOpZ
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmqmdKt8Dq
「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？」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfEzPvAmhI
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQJaKX5XVg
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP9NnVBj74
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblvrvUaRY8
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh50alZI3u
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH2t7VAN0B
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg9ca2oiJ7
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEDAuhusef
「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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGHlpPvlys
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz5w9DA1ns
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvB8RtOoLL
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FWNvU5gu6
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zXxhOuUA5
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOgLoP9YHl
她輕輕搖了搖頭。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfQviLQJZV
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWkprXxGuj
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbWH4yPZAj
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabm0kZo0Ai
「幫忙？」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LPExfnjfX
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7voQUtPS0
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSxwPnd7er
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaBomy19Jl
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6shFDgLFe
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudmVo5Ytbv
「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。」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmWrvJFv04
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJBxEK7vlJ
「可、可是......」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDUs39sg20
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3s3kWBbqz
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0sf4msRr1
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcs1Zy035n
「啊......喔......」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sNf1M45Yo
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOWGaU944i
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK7W6GaKmO
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmpcCq9nkS
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fjORUGTVW
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEgxPqruwy
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYljt2qkK3z
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex4jGXPAdz
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！958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt7dSq8RLh
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoud1zAvFo
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrBP3jhUK4
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQogKqAB9bb
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj0myZxq1b
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pSiaU4sRq
不行！958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaCH3a66UT
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6KgdIx5qU
她搖了搖頭。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1tAF4Wzey
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3zKduPTl5
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu8B2AgMoj
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvYFypccNg
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcWOlsjtHV
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdbYxSaOL0
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v8NBT0IJU
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UHzZ1g2PR
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLVTotlXK3
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7ANeZW7gA
「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。」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDea53FJtF
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoxFVmmaCR
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOJh2WfcEI
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu5IePq7eZ
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxItvvclavN
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSCSPWsCdT
「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。」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVdIxzM4a0
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdh6SJlZz1
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kMroiGrid
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXcDpQvZhC
「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！」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbuBMUIIu2
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThDoZBXRvQ
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cYBMXvb5f
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX3vZEmXla
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXXNDbBPsD
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVyQfIBm51
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc3YocvMJy
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrVOLVqSJ8
「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！」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzUQjGoPHT
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfGFDbUd5o
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CFK5bT1sh
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVtHTaIT7l
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb5dI9YqpF
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZJK9QoxWN
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGSfyRILgP
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezyCytIcls
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RcXHBvbGq
一位則是他親愛的妻子。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyQpiVDQqp
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！」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczdn3vtTOP
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2n8uxjJTj
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBFwAZVRtV
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFR4NnIyB5
「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......」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiuwE1J37w
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bbXJ7MVFc
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AX6ef1PSG
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TUpLNPBKe
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwVx1X3MAC
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTvrPpxCfv
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DUJVWge9k
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgj8laQQH5
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbadpACPsni
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlzqN6XdtJ
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCiyvGLPei
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC6gDXzl6H
「不需要！」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSglq5ReHr
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTASUpNCwcn
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOLVNmHyuJ
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMGeSg6gII
「又怎麼了？」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwgUWSgPKN
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEDDD7leJi
「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？」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YxJngmCGq
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs66rruKqN6
「職責......」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxY46rCtFc
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkFHCHbHx6
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzruQDkwCc
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGErzW548e
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSZpt2lhav
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBlJ0ysTj0
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3tspiScps
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnDF0fnQBL
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XvDPqR7oB
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgLj1k7C2z
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x7TNpuGLd
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlZNIhVAkK
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp2VKPKd58
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNNIiAUI39
「嗯。」958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iHfKep7wu
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9poQ7bxEBM
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSAV4yaRyD
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapgTPVUES6
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！958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArcR8JYky4
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew8b2yMo9g
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。958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBFe0qDZT8
