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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNox7jLHSq7
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92OoeXCRTb
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpfzVXG0pp
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZasnK6PG5
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwO4KwrFzb
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7m39xV7Ay
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQetcofCpO
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXuearQFh9
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？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqVbJ2B3fX
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6q7A5A4Mf
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxKRYYO9Dn
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQBJMncBT3
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dqwp6OY5C
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDvcKpI0p2
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmnHt59Pmt
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEgbA3hdR1
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtBWoBQYkk
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbCQXEdXe2
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuweGltzzxU
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhdOqxXgGY
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h7DHs0RLU
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Js59Lcxli
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWrK1QUmhB
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH4tCy0KRK
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF2IlhUbAB
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bGqHElitS
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGV6sVtEAZ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkf2VjU1CL
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96HHBNJ52Q
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oWNn3JXOj
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZZeGe9V2O
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48x6b2Tlej
「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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde081Pffvv
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kemXDEnkd
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CSIknU6zK
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxzeFG3C6j
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdVkImXQIK
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5MiX1JKmM
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemYksrW4s1
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4c15n98FW
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2J3v6sf5T
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBL5ost9sZ
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBcMggLLsp
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkErI6OvIPa
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QIOfdeq9J
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS2nbKR7yR
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAQrPCx89b
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkozkazGW9E
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxmEr1nzZd
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROygCVY1YD
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnFoAVcGFY
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUULhmRBOcz
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHpC1XGXZh
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMHXiJHbBL
「沒錯。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElnJtebyAc
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9x2ZmyAc8
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCVPzH8IzI
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKzB8UmOLi
「遵命，女皇陛下。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrdZXDBUxF
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96bqzwQ3O3
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cK8IGi1AO
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sze6Tr0XB
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriqFLIANTZ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq8Hyck6GY
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKCxxrJVe6
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSCDklnRci
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8YtB9ByrP
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTRwQqjt1X
「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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtzFEzBsgo
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmarUydsyWu
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB3EftfbuA
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w8cH5Qx6C
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfNN7TbXO7
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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeoQxyyW9K
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU65Rx074yO
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPMNeEE8Or
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNlRuT6G9i
「甚麼事？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEnRh9W4JN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU0JLThGym
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk7n1JCbUM
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoTUYySgWS
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？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yU9R6fQF3
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvQ1NbwTxq
「女皇陛下英明。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzudZlaFBW
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5iUdaMFPZ
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMbdbiFip0
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XGcidCUHn
「細作？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXboOixRHU
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD0gFqQHBG
「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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EgRFr21d3
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNmH0Ao34C
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwfh4g5k3A
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHmNIcy51y
「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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITfEUCqDtb
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2YPb0jk16
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVMmMOS4Xi
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lJkI9Xnb0
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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyUVyyFjQ2
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhrzco9J2g
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbBqIiqQBM
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf5hiSQFwS
「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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1u4KD79TE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbT5ectmzq
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UYXd3EM5J
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5KfNnw331
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GaCVfM5Tr
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8B9hppSJj
「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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjZVMdXGnw
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO79ro5Lxf
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosxIGnMdnm
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJC0BOYvFh
「暗影守衛團的四人。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LOuMfZJnF
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTe4HF6eGn
「利華特呢？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaMqtEz0hU
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EtslTIWwX
「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？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yekWV6ACN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLUGHztDLG
「明白。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1k5dzZNId
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7B3FMbM0y
「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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7fEJ6RWXR
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b3anr7fe8
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzM6vKqw6X
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsYgCmXbxU
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjFuzrjNBu
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2GefFMo4Y
「不用審問嗎？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKeiyTgcSM
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn5dvD3Bjk
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PfEY3VBbh
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22koVjdi1Y
「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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOvasbczsu
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAI6qfuVLI
「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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB7MV3hecI
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtoG4r8zTG
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEIViqc0Jd
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XIzKupkH2
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQeGXwhsCF
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLrKh0dFf5
「遵命。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYSF6bzmVG
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBhrFbptCF
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EZlpPPDZf
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjGCvLuFL1
「為甚麼？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquUQZS04Lx
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY6nBuDwSr
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkaeSjUoP5
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKhacvJl0J
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJs0eeiDS4
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqqSK0Z0mW
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBDs5NzDb5
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamwVqMk95q
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。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfry9cYohtu
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL8cZWulwa
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNis83XnbgK
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzGdEpDD4o
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。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYAOWG2MYd
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yWzyA0KlS
「之後呢？」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGtkLxqS5V
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0aDPz7jeC
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ9HV78isJ
