「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXir34t6Cgg
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Qb7qmkVJ
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMpbwxRjUg
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsexvpEH3cr
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFRJJjd54d
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweKbHfmVaM
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7yRBUlee7
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsAM98xRu9
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MAtvsTy99
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94IMtlo8m0
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdaqB9X9eG
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZFnnKYDpD
「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？」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kKPEsLfGg
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES3JRgIhOP
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPSjnobprp
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLev18hQbFZ
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A156R5lED
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72uOB0NbOw
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBNUYllqPT
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP3zfMxsz0
「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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoo6fMgixb
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0pRL2eF3T
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KCukKDjAY
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Di41wApP
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRWZekMmrj
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCsLqV3ACt
她輕輕搖了搖頭。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuIfvuYNeC
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWpalIXky8
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM3CnHbctx
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDSorBnp13
「幫忙？」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNbsezZm3s
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQNtGFT9fA
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNODD3mWoYI
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T6agbO7AR
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa36dzlRSoN
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8ajeEJL5Z
「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。」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpqyMmwrmj
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJO8n7Gzxg
「可、可是......」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyeKaX2KPA
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq5iwZw99Q
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr36mrmDNFF
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VkwUKF67A
「啊......喔......」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoodXdoWpe
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkCumTkeaP
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFESzqolbb
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XHBXTBiAo
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4FXLOMV3l
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYr8sMsLzF
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRXLV9cnEW
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj24R3aVIl
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！956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6JbaQ8Agp
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb08TEbExW
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVEvZeJqoc
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz4VXZk5sa
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsl7zdAfEX
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiqC5xEZFK
不行！956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLA4gJSu7a
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXaGoCphtN
她搖了搖頭。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCFjRVhorE
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA34nI93Ne2
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeojxZdHX47
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSb1T2WAro
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpNafm0uVl
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJroqcYejnw
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQaMWBCzfz
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwz7eCfk0Z
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56WwHrmUTf
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCVAHuG4q1
「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。」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFy6l5yoBN
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvegGT0Wl8
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEtqOFCoBp
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs28QClPzt
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMIOeUzXIm
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HTVCpWa1c
「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。」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG4XsdZECG
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdFwpseVLz
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZRJhzEhF7
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnldEJ8lzvV
「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！」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0j4lzbD8K
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWJqSWGmOM
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbKAB6uEvQ
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7oaVa6DJf
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1NjwTADlT
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY9epnmvEK
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdMgnEMqNp
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzPWp8pyNP
「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！」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmDkXUVuBU
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJfMiJk6Km
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPnE5TpTOJ
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRTlFnlr6Z
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NqMKQDWIV
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NSmE8zTk6
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXNgQulmkx
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBjhdHWqW1
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6gKCIGzSM
一位則是他親愛的妻子。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWawOlqKaQP
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！」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPZuF77D6b
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqLcZ5rgT3
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCElyOoE6u
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis5WqpvfKP
「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......」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZaZuCVT2u
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbO5bttQ7E
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH2ovMgn5Y
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrvyOE1RWL
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1fMJBwkLC
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiMxy3LPvQ
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE8k2JHHjU
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNeHLBGWHc
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtxl5yuDvs
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jtnc6nef4
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWqhxghumQ
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwquv0lBcKo
「不需要！」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ULsBJGW6
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJVf5nQ7e5
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HOOAbGlvV
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5Y6968teo
「又怎麼了？」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99jpS0gyAI
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnZRrwe5sM
「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？」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1BbuzYQHa
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8okLjks6B1
「職責......」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNjL0TcflL
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCBhOQyZEU
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKR3YPsb0y
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2VIyIm6tm
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKgO3YLr3N
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6jrwxMsAX
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23b52m9C4k
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03EtB81CYN
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvAQIrDMoC
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96aWhMzxNr
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqN5bxybDa
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMGFpYRczV
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDGPqJS0uU
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKJ3nbRNlo
「嗯。」956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfXDDMhIvT
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGyPzHW0Wa
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MBYZELB4i
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WhAuxqlB9
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！956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvFgOgzqNV
956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftlIQEi2Nv
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。956Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZjYCUbnJr
