「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0lJoDIQ4c
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwawYr6vhv
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHFz7LfhAd
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSQLp6JHrr
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hZcgvNzkZ
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCAEYoPrRL
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZlvQUe8RE
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfdVpPHYzk
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2forkx4xP1
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGb3TTgNBO
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuL3kvMvim
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sn87u0u03
「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？」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GRdUEKYvx
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYJftzHUQR
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheETXaTCyu
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxZGQfBYtT
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrM13Hfn0N
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2iAyvmyjm
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQq2qMUorg
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OY8TSVQmw
「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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZpPkGmPBe
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEPSxmyK5b
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAT562PbpW
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL31OLjXgKY
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzslaJEfIia
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG7iRppi2h
她輕輕搖了搖頭。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMpishATYg
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg0CImlWlP
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Fh2I4bL3
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxBVE3itxi
「幫忙？」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBxHavnv9Q
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1HuuVfTQ2
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURuKS5ReDn
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uoookkzKG
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoVm8oOY5M
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FhIdLmuai
「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。」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oYu24R5r3
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o6HoPDTny
「可、可是......」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL1OBAWPjR
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH7JUeMnmp
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEvfLJMycU
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kaZDLWYM2
「啊......喔......」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cl1A9gbcM
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKJgZDmyWI
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUEV3NywzV
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChJlNTE0U4
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qgUHJCUFu
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp24BeNjv2V
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrUAjLjIrz
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfoF68XDFj
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！990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zAjtIEDlv
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUGycO36q0
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3W82zQSJH
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4xCB3u8fZ
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGvnDtItTE
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyewyedJuLG
不行！990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbVrOcYzgL
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cZpAAAPZr
她搖了搖頭。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg5oUElDOf
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHvWBelIyP
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZPl1f6J4Y
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiwFISQyKh
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RDbA3X9bc
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7c8w5ws8c
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONfdOGqH7j
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0NYFE2YHY
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93RPcAm8xE
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvTyDSoDRA
「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。」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBNy9AvV8W
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75xKpte3nQ
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA8M4vA9YB
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItD7JQDlr0
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVIF6c1L9o
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkRtYhKAF8
「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。」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShfnlCS8Z5
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlisJgONwuO
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDsjLst1ZT
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhtBQDzcF3
「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！」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84BevIzOOc
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI3Zglnkq5
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRUUNq4Rf7
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV654orPO7t
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4b9vxM898
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpQsE5nMyd
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYmWyrbbkN
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jix9VYkcB
「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！」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX4CpBpjry
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Khg5n7VaY
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7XCKMoHRF
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUeDCMCHGM
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZIRnDiin2
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVEAOrOwH2
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNfIlh3Fhk
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQBLpUrCCB
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIKFuPX0Cw
一位則是他親愛的妻子。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mZAJ5PnjO
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！」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjFFbkanam
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTrapNt070
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60ImeEbGeh
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRJTtMzycs
「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......」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskFR32OkDa
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMFFMyB0oA
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O6GKP7gQ3
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gnf60WPk4
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiWb8dQTXV
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMfhT8mFFO
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h4kmXc2xZ
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum2ZJ7lNZi
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SGIIVQ1aN
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonSvH6Si1S
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGHzkl5wid
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1CQT7Hp4l
「不需要！」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo95IZIJqSb
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3gWeUa67h
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClXL4mSIjs
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLMJLYar2h
「又怎麼了？」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoD1VkiIQx
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc999kEL7Z
「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？」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj15F6N0nRf
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOrRwRkqBb
「職責......」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHBrv8sWsa
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb9MymHFmb
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKcBhLQcvB
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw6tX4oIsp
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfO5AVmXUZ
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePoUEklYMU
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj0xKTCZgq
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXnw9G2XBq
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2xAZtCuuo
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhL6QqawP3
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMtDpRodt2
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA3RfMtYLL
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA86MAC7Ns
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEBBVc8i4Q
「嗯。」990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzWGWidP6D
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcANsDk07mC
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTnbpupdWp
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmipN5OrOVh
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！990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13QVYXz0CT
990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKd44ni4I3
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。990Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemYjigZcXr
