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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP64hrM2ni
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8deMZwDiW
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pXVqYbehn
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUyJaq8Sdb
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx6aHIPclI
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjpy7HVXPm
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FaRJMB5Kb
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LYZsFAp1g
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？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BkKgsKvet
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPcX1p8IlM
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaip7ST6GAX
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcp907DP3v
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCwRWXtNjD
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmravXvGWK3
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILHnJRYjmx
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP39ZrNRZtT
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyFh3u8Qe5
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLumtlvVIP
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCgg8viHtZ
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e9oK2KIHk
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe77J7vjeR
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaYdFp8BDI
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu07cGM1AXR
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrfiDSKvcn
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwY5xXh2Td
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgEsSuApMD
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VPBlE565L
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGFjfWnpGM
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXWBSrVUT7
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FPYSrgrCc
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV41cApJzA
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11dXyl9POl
「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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU3dDSXCDb
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsBzyQuJIK
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlte1p8tti3
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQf4Y0S9Sz
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59KMI95d4S
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQeaiKWtlU
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHLAOnmkvM
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO2GKTxrVf
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllp1n2D037
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnviACEfrWe
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0Iga0pagJ
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09sKyrlVIi
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9s6yy3JU5
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nDYWuZOt0
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJp7QXdE2q
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZaiCMk31n
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQPU9mWUlM
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvllItWzYmO
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGXt7V9GH4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlDryB3EsB
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGFNjcMh0w
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirX0aQZdQE
「沒錯。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTz6JHj73W
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1buUJIAKo
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkfARPWODG
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjbMHO4i2G
「遵命，女皇陛下。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgwJLIK6cY
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDckFJwvo39
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevk7M1DU5E
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxuHOKNCzi
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ109r0llVYY
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16l8SFZx0t
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpXVNUlIQ4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m0qcyH02S
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdLbTkDiNx
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfex7kGZ7uA
「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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwp8XAyonA
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zaO1ZNEeJ
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxbNhSBaz8
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W9Z5EOy5z
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBevazptvUe
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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQSMrMdyvs
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3EWrWTmrq
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIpitrtinH
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ3VudjTm4
「甚麼事？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjFMk0dlx0
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus4F9elzKW
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sWtY3DUm4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUMmooQ7xc
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？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSosPFCSGU3
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsmP0zOVru
「女皇陛下英明。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHBJ8w7pZC
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Fs0ESR2G
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X6UkQx7WN
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgIBVjPIyw
「細作？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRd5YOvQhC
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H9C6Lh5Ov
「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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF3jRiKAkG
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx526p9h4S
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DOrjVfMn4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlDGrNJtAK
「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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFAWxaoqLu
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowfGuA0GiA
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvc7JC7Mxx
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFW8ZKfnLG
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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK0MQDKZUz
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeTPXCBxDX
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8yQVjSDtu
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnxa1Lxuau
「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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERsqNyN9OA
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcskv8kWy1
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF4vE4hzVt
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ho4BEYXJU
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCAi9ErLXY
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN96Q5lauQ
「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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnIsD8J0ZM
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfZZRtGTPU
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD1ivUKyVR
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmKvLfT96T
「暗影守衛團的四人。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2SxYSG48b
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJssVIDsnH
「利華特呢？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaegSgazvv
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4UdWNDhLM
「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？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxkE93xppW
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMufYS0RyV
「明白。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeHpFooZh5
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlpITIaROa
「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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r1yWwbn78
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIPgAkzB8c
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgZP5zwSYj
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSMVym9Gg4
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsENHdYglXu
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANFU1Xpk6p
「不用審問嗎？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmVidmEsPM
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGqF6h408n
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGA67k1oF3
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DE6ScHCGb
「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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUkwFON493
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2Rf7NtAHZ
「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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvNlzGY01E
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3EkpdCqeQ
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNzk8LphTC
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimSHCt721k
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcmrDFSfu4
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlRtF6QWKp
「遵命。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mfn31IRgV
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCG3Ogme7z
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJolIypqp1C
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLvChlLaGd
「為甚麼？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hVWlG8UjR
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbjRYAG7OP
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZmJyYTw1K
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWSULyvqWF
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhnkmmarM0
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZyqDu6BRR
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYWcmBgEYa
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRwejDwt7A
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。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHvhrEdhJK
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQWWRnrfmg
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr2jb4Lh5A
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB24RlcbhJi
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。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgeobbYBy8
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoGgcx7n21
「之後呢？」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5geqM0CBG
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU8IRpk7jX
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu0hd9bCYA
