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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTraqtxKDc
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0cfaXDGGR
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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjpnOzeMf0
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrQYYS3xyy
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXfb8HbhNU
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UHOIRnkw3
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kahfuQcyQ
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylekdksPd6
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？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSwd2vy7nY
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZDGCxyVik
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBAyTRvVad
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPJH5a6z6J
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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZCnXbbdbd
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7errGkL8tl
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkYOV41PQr
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsJaCGNZir
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewY4golQQG
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix8xvqlhyU
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y6tSHppiE
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvqHO0MO5V
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJnDlzfBMq
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNFTLaoHGu
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQpnzz79Do
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DS6uvRMNx
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OqAlVTVUv
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLSDjTHVWO
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qmm54MtLX
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA0kXTolqx
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow2bqHadfY
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnendoN4eE
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl7D1pJmXm
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECVJ5hpCwg
「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。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD4sdmMbrZ
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3idoQY59OI
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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5ydU5qg7o
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZyMWCXmgf
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2VSWeKfbs
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuX2PqHMJS
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5RoIpN682
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihrFsUceEx
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrcPieGMMr
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB5rHTTSxq
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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsxGeQuiBs
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZFlM7kY5g
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N3ROliQxz
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvc5lscvkt
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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZzzGBHNGs
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DE0iTVAxi
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DARLwEeYv
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB33MUFQU1
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsZToJDmgD
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuMgjisxUt
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAEpc0rECi
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykQnuZjJWm
「沒錯。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr98wxKV113
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTqzczqZjZ
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFbmWimBHL
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6btzQH39Md
「遵命，女皇陛下。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7OQDTvzj6
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWE62Z608S
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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwHCC77uPY
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSYZJHSaaK
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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1lDZo1YJ7
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyaTNCgYVK
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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVabDuWp8D
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9hy30ebwD
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIew75MmH1
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n4i9HnAmi
「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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQSrUMBKm5
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMN17b70CF
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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aDT8Ge3uu
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8lWNtB61p
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbhNrP3Ki3
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。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalSPfgnmE7
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJIWp9CtbK
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuePET31oD
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j813F33xq
「甚麼事？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2IC5V0U8U
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7foAUaCbLs
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PY0ynCWtL
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp1lSY9gpg
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？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPSKShFIDa
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrZSiRRvVQ
「女皇陛下英明。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDWmDpsUP2
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMG1KyLlpT
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlmeC9g3L9
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12bJRhs5UZ
「細作？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBhSMqYymx
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtj7yoeQ2u
「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。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82kyVZhZKe
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzjhRNeJDL
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iGxXUwdYa
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn8NoJ30N1
「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。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lxM7nLIIW
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA90sI6ADJT
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRas0YnfZ4j
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTEL1q4DVz
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。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2DHpXBLPo
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiT8viGVVF
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LhMXMRtTt
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCjEHc22tZ
「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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVbla4DGTq
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkejiy2YG36
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbmRYciW9j
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3ORkrZNPa
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlMaVH3wz9
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL6MEnRJ1v
「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。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHaxGZm4bL
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SgHp4jJKk
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjbxm7YyC7
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyp1wgbxMY
「暗影守衛團的四人。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43wutGWtW7
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUTZv1JGMO
「利華特呢？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7fEAwWFpF
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9USAh1gRD
「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？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84oakBm031
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wNAiW4iV0
「明白。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPuXxDcmfB
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5QjgVYpvl
「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。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsIULhUs9K
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFDQsFk9zM
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt0KAYccIA
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwysdWyeylB
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoXn2L706R
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNoE3JRfOa
「不用審問嗎？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4upmseto5f
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgTId1h44h
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pIPh0upey
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9bBLZKjNn
「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。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8beY4Z56mb
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6akjv4dVRZ
「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。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhlEx1fgrn
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aSi2V5vTU
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM1xPSAT8h
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qrNiYiFfK
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLOzGSjpba
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp3TnPA75X
「遵命。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchVf9xvaTN
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i5jaZZXpG
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgwM5JXmlc
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AYw0xyHRW
「為甚麼？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedFPu9rArT
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1877LhkaZR
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJddCXx3weY
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX5HHWlp4N
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdpnLq5nTB
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPDsYvScrs
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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBsdwmUXeQ
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5PhNAZoIw
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。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM2rCLNV85
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyV1afITzq
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCu6yWNjSN
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjYKFyVKWS
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。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUukXyjePh
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dVImCNNF8
「之後呢？」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLlECiKglr
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41L1dL8lvQ
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKAzpxO642
