「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ6YhEa7g0
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjB25F3L2I
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuX66bkJd3
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTevzWH2kDA
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zso5hp6yS
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIs7DKr71k
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkkCkJbCkr
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWWRr3tA53
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E4LHmzpru
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE93pGEgGP
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcYPUjjXZu
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHsBgzwsk9
「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？」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKkEOXgJ1v
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuwcDrwJqV
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIctwl9Dne
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmHpNSoO5q
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdZohUqpX5
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkstpyAbAin
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPFwleFAis
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qlHlgZGU5
「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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpKLpZ8UjN
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yTuBbT6gV
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2G8bdxTNo
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMlRh2XRtr
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05eM5fLcbZ
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiHZDvDm8a
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd63E5292St
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwKeFyTwti
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiFrGItS2C
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRaMr5qp4K
「幫忙？」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdtOYNudVg
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlI2y7dQOA
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfvGasLPA5
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYyTOSXS9o
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU93c9oPaUJ
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pgbqEhUZU
「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。」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSou4xWGo6
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ392xEZYA5Y
「可、可是......」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZrsKCYGYo
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTY00S0wLp
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshXKprm56D
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUtArknaJC
「啊......喔......」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIoKsLjfYJ
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50VYDiXjpU
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTuH8fai3x
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyalsVvo09
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgTGwffImP
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygKlO0A4qd
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hlBFXALmK
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmSNtTvvpQ
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！1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E0YO5FP0J
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrRkV1dzE5
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqBn1HBcfv
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU211UdGZ8
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4Vz9twPZr
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAStQ5LJ4c
不行！1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXSrXY5Q4a
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGx8C9vf5N
她搖了搖頭。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvihDTM9fY
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gxJTz6CQD
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKli6iNNA07
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uXnP4Gwnn
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkoGx5inLZ
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RskF03GVk
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18AoKKcGWx
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bumLdYU2u
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaWOhI9MIH
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPcLW9wzQq
「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。」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVyOpd7JVt
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO4krHvaVc
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKYMSiw9le
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE48X27C6DJ
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKph9uKg3O
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5dNyORDmY
「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。」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvRAq403ac
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEv4TpB4s8
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQhpi3vCMB
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAfq5tlBbm
「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！」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKchjNu4nAD
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusJ5gL3Q4u
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8VridwbnR
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fWLkdiFzk
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz9JQ2aAft
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GqPvpAZju
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BmQ9JN478
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA5Kylj5Fw
「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！」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sdvgp2nVj
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Wa2Du3mP
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL7KGuQRVx
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJq6hHjKwh
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp3nLeeLPM
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXxEwJmiWs
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLak6uB7UvT
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAFrBQVhOA
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxCUlDbAlv
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7t76rCoJH
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！」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJSELkfkgF
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZsslW96KK
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcrbleCpBz
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwmSqUbTvr
「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......」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMzLeTI8qx
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYm4ClwhvN
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3oXAuDRz6
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oNwilZFOb
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDCcQYFUQ8
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn4apYIW4p
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT2LVdmlfO
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzLArG23sT
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHfSgKsJG3
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnZJv4wpsC
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JaSX3qSIz
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAIu41sLNo
「不需要！」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo60fj9YnS
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdeiVpraRu
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvChK8g6jnt
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC84gNMy5nx
「又怎麼了？」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBNbWNFP91
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wglYn7qlU
「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？」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxXwUkL3WD
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3daYb4LZ2S
「職責......」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaygQjCpfN
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEqaMRAuyq
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8KWouRF6V
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuT0pWSyGk
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoMSAr3cqG
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp0vvjSyYt
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y2NBJ6Ame
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8icFhSzYCD
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yHVxOWwxP
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mKDvBJGMQ
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a1sofQpQx
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrMtXVwoFB
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGY4NerDQK
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfeghTbK4P
「嗯。」1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05eNXmU2xQ
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrSgzyRReh
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BT8Dybsk0
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwGtFb0ZGZ
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！1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ763suf2eMd
1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZjF7BklZW
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。1038Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgM4taya2G
