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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP66kRIpmut
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5CrgUQFxE
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFdVhXrGmF
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oTUVz3Amu
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAvTcv2HuY
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgSnJcg2HC
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpTeC29IFM
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcIpTBu0Jb
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？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuPCtXDqSd
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPy2zcfkfY
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMku2WcjAlz
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZUfr9F9FF
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzk2MHiSpz
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFcbNzWomg
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFH2o6xc5P
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewcvfyOmN0
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW3muAk6nt
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLnuLyAaFS
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgfKiG0QPf
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fLzypUvjg
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzSOO65xBg
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbBZrgtV4n
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVHbIIE2eM
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59lzQUOgZk
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZj9OEZ7dK
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEJASm5SQk
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNyd6KCRhg
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2ftR7SGtZ
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxJiYOZ1hH
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFd4pnX7SW
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD35uB4aJvg
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxd3npTnp6
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ5YYHXRkg
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmswOSKo6zS
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVinR2iatA
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYylMyKlloJ
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD63nkenAXT
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyebJEGKCCL
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlknCqZpNU
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqFumzQndY
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02E5dbnstv
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIEWHEnxXy
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaBqbAcLvM
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhvwfZJY79
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCR00VIzaC
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCUYGG8nmN
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkxkS2Ds8U
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqyXzkFLXi
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVfi7wUr8n
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhytjdRRwTs
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gJsQWGAAS
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGg2fSMyjn
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS2bMhl0fL
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gEFNrPKAm
「沒錯。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAIz2gCnF5
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkRROE53EC
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX4M1P7DGm
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybAAVdc4OX
「遵命，女皇陛下。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMvQlrDf4a
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL42VoK3Ngo
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTLUXBpq1F
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0JlEI0Bx7
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBd9izmXXT
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Cxvck8w2
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8bHWIXtvK
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjUDNuvDzg
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStGC5yVxXg
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0wwy8p8Wg
「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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRTIrUYUfV
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08XExHp1Fe
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA39CZoN195
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl7SgcMxzp
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqZuhogNfM
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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfxQaxNLQo
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPZaJNNSIx
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhgG1SDZaI
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpu5CrUFux
「甚麼事？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lk79uCMji
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWGr0b6PuH
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpT7GhVbqa
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfof640PQXl
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？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV01DwwFUZk
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z9Px4g73o
「女皇陛下英明。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3MbfLarlS
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7CyxvZfPb
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC7ZZPmTEr
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBXsvOnvln
「細作？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS2AjHMilO
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhr1Ns4yrm
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPHkkfBJXq
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JI1g3z2Jv
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPoQmkApLW
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlltTWczhBT
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09f7tdnEhC
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmZIotGkei
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p97sMZ3Il
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTXPNQhqga
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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXwvndt5r4
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0kPdsvU8W
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKWsX7wOf3
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZH4jsPzC0
「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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV0j4XKDRi
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bTK4sb5pl
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAJHkaUjfy
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwvCVk9olt
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaObJJsJzxp
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCykFPQb4yl
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCB4Gad2F5
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA6g1YQpfM
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gYrSVZD5K
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSsBquEwH5
「暗影守衛團的四人。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmZWGVybRh
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1TUahbjDw
「利華特呢？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98zy5vN2hx
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdbZCHTjHY
「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？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBczGfQQzKQ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc04FUXWedW
「明白。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxe8SpnQWg
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAZ2iZU5Cz
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VlOysTax0
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEunpCgIjZj
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETdUbf4zZg
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwpXJnxNxq
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMrZ6jP653
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxY4vkw8xx
「不用審問嗎？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOtbQmotpf
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzho0xfpF6k
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoxjgDAl6A
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC6w284WAL
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4chyDlYUu
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymqvZhLKQO
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJxHiJwWjC
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6BvhZrrqk
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTceSPKwKj
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV15w8RWxzL
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiVinltDHd
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Hm1WRVjK
「遵命。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U3gA6RrPI
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Aug6QQLHP
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEYWKkGuRI
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0boKhohJgy
「為甚麼？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcEZef4Imo
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn88LQEgLJ
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0tnI1DqyC
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jOBQLFO0A
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw6sAxvBz2
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3bae9O8xb
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2dHjggBFD
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lIuyN4mny
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyGYuRgZke
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSWENCf7yQ
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbqPng8WYr
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrfOV6VPsw
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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyug52TaqIY
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtNVpMChLQ
「之後呢？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTbBQwMnMr
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR57nknwoL
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4mSsk1B6h
