另一方面，沙卡美不知為何回到過去，回到她十歲左右的時光。她綁著馬尾，穿著橙黃色舞裙在人來人往的宴會中穿梭。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1WuTJmLPo
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUZpRklOc6
宴會裏聚集了許多名門貴族，他們受國王邀請大吃大喝，心裏都怕酒裏下了毒。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIUPLsEa02
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr6F5CTfTY
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD3IF1jHfn
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpJjEK3rS5
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKBhPBumHk
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmshNJZ436e
圍著放滿佳餚圓桌，臉看不清的老人轉身看著沙卡美：「哎喲！這不是沙卡美公主嗎？公主殿下要去哪裏？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Bopnq3wE
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTBtPeZ6e4
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuURsHx8xd
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh1TVRq5fS
正當沙卡美想問老人有沒有頭緒時，一隻粗糙的手放在她肩膀上。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20JxNnW7Gj
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniSqKIxbqg
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSUHlzXtEi
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiehZq47Dlk
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyU30RLyOy
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLAvytoYRm
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XaZtBqnfc
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4ffdtHoSm
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbeIzkcSaY
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30y0lgg5sU
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5rP4TtF2C
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdgqdWTEVY
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAniEA0osM
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNvp1HOzNX
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmC9p3Rd4w
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg55be9VccL
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxfLqXCxa2
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb68svc9UFC
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIKLeF0Z85
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgPgLctO9T
「不是叫妳不必多言嗎？」國王走出王宮陽台：「我的女兒啊，那裏的人都不是真心尊敬我和妳，他們只是怕得罪我而人頭落地。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19ga7Gll3E
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7fa8fP9Vd
陽台外的景色被一層白霧擋住，沙卡美也看不見父王的雙眼。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLijeQfciF
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoaZa2nmrF
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnIXMkqqCO
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq38b9Xv2gV
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo0zQ9d3Ea
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq9yLQnUTJ
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlmQ2J4juR
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OjL3GVj2Q
貝吏刻唐在床邊觀察她微苦的臉龐，有點於心不忍。
但為了不打擾沙卡美休息，他背靠牆邊靜候沙卡美醒來。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA2hpanEkM
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAuPpLGYqz
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSKMxZu3xA
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPsjHoETow
沙卡美自己也覺得很矛盾，明明想人民生活美滿，卻一直包庇無惡不作的父王，父王駕崩後又困在陰霾當中。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQQZghk7kg
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxqWPy4CGB
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjzhCOT0b8
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NxtQUSvIx
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjpjgQNXaq
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH1JyOb9zx
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWxJ5mJs0J
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCwsoQ1XsF
「沒錯。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE34hDvEQD
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGSKVa0500
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fFyt9Ps7A
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNezVDfg4J
「遵命，女皇陛下。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6xpkNbKs3
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmpArhfW5x
貝吏刻唐和小娜都不明白為何沙卡美會被「某種東西」佔據，仍然能正常運用魔力。黑色魔力明明會令人神智崩潰，但沙卡美除了行事作風改變外都很正常。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT56aVs7q4
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOu3zkhsLE
感覺女皇不再是公主的貝吏刻唐，待沙卡美梳洗後伴隨她到飯廳。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41vKSBdLPV
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMbX3OMhUX
皇宮裏的官員、僕人等等昨天已知悉女皇被尋獲的消息，昨天在外冒雨拜訪人民的士兵和軍官們可能有私下跟平民們說。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzae8PYdNo
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvlfEhjg5V
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne6HwrAJiY
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNaPgmqUz9
「雞胸肉、麵包、蘋果和牛奶，朕很久也沒有吃過如此豐富的早膳了。」沙卡美拿起刀叉。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtilEq4DGGE
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyTrFnJS0J
貝吏刻唐坐在她對面一起用膳，雖說食不言是基本禮儀，但貝吏刻唐有些話想問沙卡美。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU48XrFrrF
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLunMwXBHG
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOReoJwu3Oe
剛要喝口牛奶的沙卡美聽見他發問，溫和地收手：「貝弟弟，早膳時間不應該說話。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbz06V4eb6
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWG3Y2ajqX
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M6dPrPAqP
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXA36daXWA
「甚麼事？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMmx01uYHM
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I2fqEzpda
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0s8q4WE6F
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVC1Jt4pHC
沙卡美揮手示意女僕和守衛離開，待房間只剩他和貝吏刻唐後回應：「貝弟弟想問的是朕想暪著所有人做甚麼吧？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mNLm4Vtgj
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqCCQDuT0X
「女皇陛下英明。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2V8zleZIw
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhjkdsOz3w
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ILORuI2l
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAZ5MEANZp
「細作？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvqw0kkPDe
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3mvmif1aj
「沒錯。約一年半前，朕去山多牧場時不是被伏擊了嗎？朕問過斯斯，她說那羣刺客的確是聯邦派遣的，但得知朕會在那個時候經過該處的情報來源不明。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTUDuQXR2t
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3WVyKpLVg
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWfme3Itjm
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjasdLKPvz
「當時朕還在學如何當一個好皇帝，沒有時間處理，朕只告訴了利華特。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCvuIydVgI
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSeAV3oMjp
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1AX6VQlfM
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW2bsZt014
沙卡美舉起杯喝了一口牛奶：「朕去山多牧場一事朕只有向數個人說過，他們都跟隨朕一段時間，甚麼時候處理都已經太遲。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dCl6SjH3n
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT5VNNEVP2
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaPWjH5sKg
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsuazAwRmJ
「塔瑪、歐法、迪斯普、哈芙、小娜、利華特、我。」具吏刻唐慎重地說出這七個名字。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBY7XLuGDC
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGriPFrFfDc
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kxy7Zumtb
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfCe8axmxY
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPxxlaryMw
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1myFRrxEux
「不是。雖然你們是當時唯二不在場的人，你們也不會蠢到背叛朕。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBb1CjVGcL
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fkDxLBdr2
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l416Sg3lQ
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5H29iNlvQ
「暗影守衛團的四人。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl9KfNIWT5
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgjrsNjmfm
「利華特呢？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvRbzbyfOG
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyUgichPIf
「利華特沒有背叛朕的理由。他是異世界人，當時的他怎會認為與帝國為敵是好選擇？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAumOEvRmEX
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74b3ZhaaL5
「明白。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooRKS4lCAQ
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XE6esCRMi
「因此，貝弟弟，朕希望你去找他們談談，政務朕會自行處理。找出細作後就地處決。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1oUNxveR2
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIx1A1vJR5
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWTBdHzJFp
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PwpncmKZp
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2ZazKFWXV
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1TcTpx1Da
「不用審問嗎？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3XUyYl5jk
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmbarapb42
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStDPY9w9Xe
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ65UGfGHRx
「不是。我只是擔心如此強硬的手法會在那時候遭到另外三人強烈反對，他們現在都有魔力。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdmWD1mTgf
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihyY8Hepb0
「他們現在也殺不了朕，所以朕現在才想找出叛國賊。貝弟弟，這個任務不要跟小娜說。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4ZYxGZC0J
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIlLNNjzhb
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9lR0MyKlw
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGsNLjeloz
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlcAO74NRk
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpVnpG0LXe
「遵命。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPCE60Yhtz
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JpUn8UoRT
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDQsKN0xWP
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMrLKJXB2o
「為甚麼？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnXtWGMah4
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnCHs3W6jg
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocolKOg1za
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hC7S1jLIn
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JWtILmSql
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyhIyU0Usp
先前因曼賈襲擊造成的損害已經由小娜用魔法修補，大臣們都能站在兩旁等候上奏。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq6elhQtIe
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yKta7b2hd
大臣們都用恐懼的眼神看著沙卡美，他們總覺得她與「失蹤」之前是截然不同的人。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvRdZzpyFL
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZYzT4a5Gc
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTgcF6c62V
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdb0C2F1no
一位站在最前列，年邁的大臣走到台階前方彎腰：「女皇陛下，小人先抒發自己對女重陛下歸來的欣喜。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLQCVAGV0D
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWhn1YUJeY
「之後呢？」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0zs7rKwBK
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRH7ZP3bMQ
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuopRH4lOWk
