「哈芙小姐。」「是？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0I90AudEY
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IZK2yhgPD
「妳認為妳那一槍處決不了曼賈・漢生是出自甚麼原因？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP7wJM94hd
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7493m4iwY
貝吏刻唐殺她一個措手不及，她表現出慌張的樣子：「貝 - 貝吏刻唐輔佐官是來處罰我的嗎？沒 - 沒能將帝國的敵人置於死地是我的罪，但也不用這樣吧？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigtLIvUtDp
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHxNAaxRiK
貝吏刻唐喝了一口茶後站起來，雙手放在桌上腰微微傾向哈芙：「一個經過適當訓練的火槍兵也知道要擊中人的四肢比擊中身體困難許多，更不要說是從那麼遠的距離射擊。哈芙小姐既然可以射中他的左手，理應可以直接擊殺他的，我有誤會嗎？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb5vtI3UWD
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nSRZAQDZz
「貝吏刻唐輔佐官是在說我利用那一擊提醒他狙擊槍有多危險，讓他不要再到皇宮送死嗎？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU2jXVkv7O
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzDr0Ordxz
「我可沒有這樣說。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMLt8mntYB
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdjFqYcI3C
「枉我如此信任貝吏刻唐輔佐官，貝吏刻唐輔佐官言下之意是我是巴烏卡派來的細作嗎？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxWVSvTMZD
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZlQsoCHch
「我再說一次，我沒有這樣說。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv1CsJv78h
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUK7UI3GGv
哈芙憤怒地與貝吏刻唐對質：「那貝吏刻唐輔佐官為甚麼會認為我故意射失？貝吏刻唐輔佐官是開發狙擊步槍的一員吧？貝吏刻唐輔佐官應該知道那東西要打中一個快速移動中的目標有多困難吧？然而貝吏刻唐輔佐官想以此為藉口說我是反賊？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg8mo2EMh2
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlH6QV5suB
「那麼哈芙小姐認為自己下次有沒有把握？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxotKNA5lF
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkG9LzYLi3
哈芙瞪著貝吏刻唐喘了幾口氣冷靜自己：「怎會有......」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hfpvjkpsi
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfeGe0gLxQ
「她對我說她是叛徒一事很大反應只有兩個可能，一是她對女皇陛下完全忠心，二是她心虛了。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoORsT2XxRX
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs62zKzX6k
貝吏刻唐坐下：「抱歉，哈芙小姐，我居然會懷疑你。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKmojOU3O8
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ec74rzKW2
「貝吏刻唐輔佐官，我真的有點生氣。貝吏刻唐輔佐官又不是不知道目前帝國內部依然暗潮洶湧，實在不應該再胡亂指責我們。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI12xBV1Z3
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTlcAir7kW
「我表達最深切的歉意。」貝吏刻唐點頭。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR3TX0gSGB
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycOGkoY2kl
「貝吏刻唐輔佐官今天過來找我這件事，女皇陛下知道嗎？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5dtmVZ3Yt
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQTZr2VW4y
「為甚麼她會提到女皇陛下？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlp7HZ68xE
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzI2FuqOkC
哈芙繼續說：「如果女皇陛下知道貝吏刻唐輔佐官私自過來找我說三道四，女皇陛下應該會動怒吧？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmL37XlQ70
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOZbvDv718
「哈芙小姐言之有理。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQkkVS0L1n
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnNTJP2Ar6
「所以呢？女皇陛下知道嗎？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3He6XIU5M
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaxDF1C4Fd
「為甚麼她要乘機反攻我？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOOVNc18DR
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrWJWkrrR0
「想不到那麼努力，竟然會被貝吏刻唐輔佐官質疑是細作，誰也會生氣吧？貝吏刻唐輔佐官也太無禮了！」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPmjx4y6sj
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm5CuO7VH2
「不再說甚麼的話，我就完全失勢了。」
「好，我和哈芙小姐一起去見女皇陛下，哈芙小姐當著女皇陛下的面投訴我就能消氣了吧？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9gFldeA9h
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH4x2vAJAZ
「沒錯。」哈芙交叉雙手。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsxH9G7vJr
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjGyT16aCQ
貝吏刻唐和哈芙來到沙卡美處理政務的房間門前，房間前是一條狹窄、用紅金地毯鋪墊的走廊。褐色牆上掛了不同畫作和燭燈。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbd6C5CtI6
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP3IGoN0ve
貝吏刻唐敲門，「是誰？」沙卡美的聲音從裏面傳出。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWBJhLGBIG
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi4xsDSabR
哈芙不滿地站在貝吏刻唐背後。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sDmr3svkR
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAjfTw7GGh
「女皇陛下，我是貝吏刻唐。哈芙小姐有點事想和女皇陛下商討。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDbvwHXFjY
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrwVJBZhE8
哈芙用一個「商討這種字眼顯得你想逃避責任」的眼神看著貝吏刻唐。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUelWza9v2o
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKmGE25CSB
「進來吧。」「遵命。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxHVFCWDB3
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZfYX1UnRt
貝吏刻唐推開門，沙卡美正坐在椅上、拿著羽毛筆、帶些許煩厭的眼神閱讀放在桌上的文件，握筆的手猶疑該寫甚麼。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4xpgG9vn1
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaxSLZmZ0J
桌上還有幾堆差點擋住沙卡美的文件，沙卡美後面是一個大得可以俯瞰整個帝都的窗戶，陽光從窗戶照進來，整個房間也因此非常明亮。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fCK93TI3t
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfKCfhqoyB
右邊是一座火爐，火爐旁，正中央的牆上掛了一幅抽繪小時候的沙卡美神情天真地雙手放在父王腹上看著他，父王右手執權杖、左手輕撫沙卡美的頭、臉容嚴肅地看著前方的畫作。房間中心是左右圍著木桌的兩張沙發，木桌上放了茶壺和四個茶杯，房間左側則是放了不同典籍和文件的書櫃。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsCbSXdia6
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w8Mz9DW9k
「哈芙，找朕有甚麼事？」沙卡美終於下定決心在文件上寫下應該寫上的字。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KGyHzdNlW
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj9ny0FNIj
「女皇陛下！貝吏刻唐輔佐官剛才跑到我房間來問一堆關於女皇陛下的問題，還指控我是巴烏卡的臥底！」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKqDdKUV9p
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZwMd6LdFa
沙卡美放另一張文件到面前：「貝弟弟，這是怎麼一回事？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNynQGEIzVG
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5TxtkdIHf
「稟陛下，我只是懷疑哈芙小姐在數日前抵禦曼賈・漢生的攻擊時，故意擦傷曼賈・漢生的左臂以提醒他魔法部隊的威力。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnq2sYqnQ8
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiRDOt0S28
沙卡美放下羽毛筆看著貝吏刻唐：「貝弟弟，你是笨蛋嗎？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9EzE53zO2
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySyy5LxeQE
貝吏刻唐單膝跪地：「我已經準備好受罰，請女皇陛下降罪。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyfNcPikHm
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPCXYlv6fN
「貝弟弟，你明明知道目前帝國的處境有多危險，卻暪住朕找哈芙，還懷疑她是巴烏卡的細作？這會在官員之間建立不信任的氣氛，帝國就更難復原。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ449AGzvVA
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcMXx9AfpA
「請女皇陛下降罪。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9XGbwLov1
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdaM0PIDaa
「哈芙，妳想他做甚麼？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BLzVMs3X0
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTEIf2Frot
「讓我想一下......我剛好有封信要送給一位朋友，如果貝吏刻唐輔佐官可以幫我送信，我就不計較。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzibYcm8YF4
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroK23Ycbn9
「貝弟弟？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuIVFDzDx8
「明白。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpubC96wJj
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkdOfu7Yw9
「女皇陛下，我先回房間拿信。」哈芙行禮後離開房間。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Sjmz0gSl
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQEKBFow0c
沙卡美待哈芙走遠後才發話：「貝弟弟，朕認為哈芙不會是那個細作。她跟過利華特去加奧里的基地，如果她是巴烏卡的人，加奧里早就淪陷了。她只是真的很氣你懷疑她。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH0geoTt5N
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMJYAl6uQx
「女皇陛下，也許她只是想等到萬無一失的時機再出手。話說回來，女皇陛下，那個細作也不一定是巴烏卡的人。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpCq1mp3OS
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QYHyVcxbw
「朕只有想到這個可能而已。曼賈・漢生不知道朕躲在密室裏就證明你和小娜是清白的。朕這一年多來沒有再分享機密給暗影守衛團就是因為朕認為他們不再可信。他們只是父王留給朕的遺產，朕不用也可。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSsWxl7fKj
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjBEGiwZC6
「女皇陛下真的那麼相信我和小娜嗎？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMML7B7WX2h
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxfuVFxWoa
「貝弟弟，朕聽過你問類似的問題很多次了，你一直質疑自己和妹妹不值得朕寵愛，還以為是幻想。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2APMqHOgH
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq4DjQQbMO
「因為實在太不真實了，不論過多久我都會質疑。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5sNhsZr1z
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNsrMYsJzz
「如果你像小娜一樣接受的話有多好......」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXsdIiuNAN
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gsWV358k5
「我的使命就是保護小娜，要為她考慮多點。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFYAdSkzna
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7IQxByJgI
「朕知道了。等哈芙回來再說。」沙卡美繼續埋頭處理政務。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFh5nbwB2i
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBugW4VQlN
實際上，沙卡美自幾天前便讓貝吏刻唐自由調查，一個人應付政務。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GoPLLrSbo
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHGZERrCop
雖說向巴烏卡宣戰，但帝國並沒有進入戰時狀態。畢竟巴烏卡不是一個國家，僅是一個組織。除了各地開始募兵、軍隊長期準備隨時開戰、不斷生產兵器外一切如常。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6xzSRAezh
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaHyvTmuel
當然，有些國家也決定拒絕人民入境帝國，復興商業區的計劃進度緩慢但順暢地實行中。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfjUzGPS71
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTQydQc8bW
沙卡美也透過報紙宣布自己回歸的消息，亦表示不希望再大量聚集人羣釀成悲劇。她在報紙上表達出自己最深切的愧疚，並呼籲人民匯報任何可疑狀况。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKXUqML6wj
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfLMHamCqR
人民對沙卡美躲藏的消息意見兩極，有些人認為她牽連到他國平民不可饒恕，紛紛到他國宣揚沙卡美的罪惡。有些人則認為她這樣做是沒辦法中的辦法，帝國人應該矛頭指向巴烏卡，不應該再為沙卡美添加壓力。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzElGS1qem
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV8YHtStP3
因此，帝國國境這幾天極度擠迫，大量人想離開帝國，又有大量人到帝國尋找機會。沙卡美加派人手疏散人流，人龍依然從帝國城牆延伸到另一座城。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDvJiLkZNl
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtCs3V3cnN
巴烏卡沒有利用這個情況行動，也許是怕出師無名，也許單純是因為曼賈・漢生主張「不殺無辜的人」，他們沒有乘機製造更多混亂。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe36f87zZoy
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLzSqh2ceK
不管如何，皇宮裏的每個人都很忙。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV60ILYNt8w
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CQbg2sZgo
哈芙回來敲門：「女皇陛下，是哈芙。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC798kPfjm3
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMfJeC4kNn
剛處理完一半文件的沙卡美不勞煩地說：「進來。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEXayHtzvh
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkswwH8bZQj
貝吏刻唐站在沙卡美右後方欣賞些微恢復生氣的街道。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DYnvpLe1K
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ3FDgnEpk
哈芙拿著信進來：「打擾了，女皇陛下。請貝吏刻唐輔佐官幫我把信送到信封上的地址。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxMuMJUSdR
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbOebWl3HI
「貝弟弟，朕剛才怎麼不記得叫你幫忙？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg3qOUJ5OP
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdEsbl1wMG
貝吏刻唐尷尬地回應：「女皇陛下一定又是太累了，要不要找小娜聊聊？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprJEmTsuWt
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI694V64p3
「也好，但等朕處理完面前這堆東西再說。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCklsOlwAYG
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMsPvSvC5l
哈芙補充：「請貝吏刻唐輔佐官絕對不要打開信。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNkM6eH55k
