「妳認為妳那一槍處決不了曼賈・漢生是出自甚麼原因？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GVCsFaPfY
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lvnoBbYQS
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？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFYOKLnQrl
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbdeUSsCKE
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？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw69GdXdxh
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHCBM69VQs
「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？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjp23LuHuy
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY75PnDfLM9
「我可沒有這樣說。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC66ftYiqpi

「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？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKQMsQUgCq

「我再說一次，我沒有這樣說。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcia2otUzk
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfW5BRZ9gf
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？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMPncJfwyH
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RuPUJachj
「那麼哈芙小姐認為自己下次有沒有把握？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkymEoXB8ik
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsULezRNEZ5
哈芙瞪著貝吏刻唐喘了幾口氣冷靜自己：「怎會有......」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhU80xq09M
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqmoOVC76T
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerJNnghIXN
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs7Vx5UE0D
貝吏刻唐坐下：「抱歉，哈芙小姐，我居然會懷疑你。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKuKHwpjLh
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUELoSliWJ2
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06vdWycWPk
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZWBWgP1lw
「我表達最深切的歉意。」貝吏刻唐點頭。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5gVH52LVJ

「貝吏刻唐輔佐官今天過來找我這件事，女皇陛下知道嗎？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHCGRRRyYp
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB58BZR0KyV
「為甚麼她會提到女皇陛下？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkplp9IATs
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXinnhIkTny
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？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDD4r7P4hK
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P1JpSGTQP
「哈芙小姐言之有理。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC86Kze2WA
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivAouS5e3w

203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wFHZXPuQG
「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？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDwIvXLUMb
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMp8TCi3dA
「沒錯。」哈芙交叉雙手。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T7qwhJV4a
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxihQdkGjYA
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5NpkHjR88
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATeUG0yuKH
貝吏刻唐敲門，「是誰？」沙卡美的聲音從裏面傳出。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjmlXv7OZe
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GPPgG6ny4
哈芙不滿地站在貝吏刻唐背後。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAmpYSq8Yo
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUQNCcnckx
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZtdNQ8t1w
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSl0cNVsVC
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAcjJUAucN
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eywZ3VyGa
「進來吧。」「遵命。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaYVlJTipV
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5UrX0FqvB
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRNRBDJhbx
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVy5EGZanF
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiSRnyEmyv
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLnOVkQpgA
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIhgIOh6Sd
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyXcNmJZnZ
「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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXiD9AQc5K
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08eLENw67h
「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！」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwrLfJI3i9
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipYV7YVeCB
沙卡美放另一張文件到面前：「貝弟弟，這是怎麼一回事？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCXIaJ5X1h
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZfV15YT6u
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGcvqo9ckO
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnukIninNf
沙卡美放下羽毛筆看著貝吏刻唐：「貝弟弟，你是笨蛋嗎？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX7lt8Qwq3
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOBExZJS4S
貝吏刻唐單膝跪地：「我已經準備好受罰，請女皇陛下降罪。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEGbang8uU
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5DumxVpa8
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujgmBzmJ4K
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FMZ6qLLpz
「請女皇陛下降罪。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NTV6LD4Sq
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g4PGdtm3n
「哈芙，妳想他做甚麼？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTkXpiTAh7
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4P4sRZtg7
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqmHXMjZKi
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8j8SzQy3m
「貝弟弟？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKsBkV0ZoF
「明白。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RXNayDX1z
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuI6C3i4SV
「女皇陛下，我先回房間拿信。」哈芙行禮後離開房間。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVHeWWWTsw
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWG7h1Pj0C
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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJscAcu1qhg
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkWbWlEDjj
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjnTzS5kvN
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ghahjbi8
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRECQ4IkNQ9
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa2fU8PjkM
「女皇陛下真的那麼相信我和小娜嗎？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNJ2oBZWNx
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDY2mG57OG
「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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJCqDx194d
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcUeiMwBAF
「因為實在太不真實了，不論過多久我都會質疑。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnIk5Oknhs
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdZawUSRPs
「如果你像小娜一樣接受的話有多好......」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuiSKTGRzr
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucFcua0OcN
「我的使命就是保護小娜，要為她考慮多點。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wdOkDO2AU
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iG3rV6lGH
「朕知道了。等哈芙回來再說。」沙卡美繼續埋頭處理政務。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eeD0KHrCD
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqJtdl79DD
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKg1u1rD9k
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQmdIjNbKL
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7d07VNm71
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKgA6h70SS
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuVQZhCeDF
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1rYwCZWjt
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp44Lr8n0Ud
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAct784OXe
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGzU4wQjZj
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Aanm4TdGE
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwbeMOkr5V
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBk6SlBan3
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。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UlzxBSjPS
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnoncm4V72
不管如何，皇宮裏的每個人都很忙。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERIdBUo6dS

哈芙回來敲門：「女皇陛下，是哈芙。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhIOIX8207

剛處理完一半文件的沙卡美不勞煩地說：「進來。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY0zNgx41g
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34t6yn9BGq
貝吏刻唐站在沙卡美右後方欣賞些微恢復生氣的街道。203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIs1C9yIu8

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。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw2UT4KAIS
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BLFMolTY9
「貝弟弟，朕剛才怎麼不記得叫你幫忙？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQT6UOw4ur
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQhG5KcrVJ
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？」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx29rxnByoE
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb054uEYiaC
「也好，但等朕處理完面前這堆東西再說。」203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFEmBZ9JYn
