「哈芙小姐。」「是?」205Please respect copyright.PENANATuDGFiXsAK
205Please respect copyright.PENANA4AqfQA7pzJ
「妳認為妳那一槍處決不了曼賈・漢生是出自甚麼原因?」205Please respect copyright.PENANABnqwN7EIKY
205Please respect copyright.PENANA8pZCCRGMti
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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAU71toSuM2k
205Please respect copyright.PENANAEp2X4w2jDD
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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANACT5mzxVQ6w
205Please respect copyright.PENANA807NRMuL5w
「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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAfIUJaFDEaY
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZwBbK4Vkb2
「我可沒有這樣說。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAoA9P5fggIT
205Please respect copyright.PENANAbgRJxHxYl7
「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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAVynacQdYJy
205Please respect copyright.PENANAACOFXePd8F
「我再說一次,我沒有這樣說。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAHyeXIP4bAL
205Please respect copyright.PENANAmzEuOMnSvZ
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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANA0kU2RR825u
205Please respect copyright.PENANAX6ZVghHWIC
「那麼哈芙小姐認為自己下次有沒有把握?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAL9qTTlF0GZ
205Please respect copyright.PENANA6Kq00QG02b
哈芙瞪著貝吏刻唐喘了幾口氣冷靜自己:「怎會有......」205Please respect copyright.PENANA9TyIEObjNc
205Please respect copyright.PENANArgiotImf05
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAB5ONUNY1yJ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAWiajAPpRK1
貝吏刻唐坐下:「抱歉,哈芙小姐,我居然會懷疑你。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA1iZpELgCqh
205Please respect copyright.PENANAEcPaxyCoYA
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAET4fT3Y7bu
205Please respect copyright.PENANA3CrYm4GsvG
「我表達最深切的歉意。」貝吏刻唐點頭。205Please respect copyright.PENANAivxsjWw5xL
205Please respect copyright.PENANAxjD0A0ZAQC
「貝吏刻唐輔佐官今天過來找我這件事,女皇陛下知道嗎?」205Please respect copyright.PENANA28KuYXT7rz
205Please respect copyright.PENANAqk6JoQcxI8
「為甚麼她會提到女皇陛下?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAqJyehKbuKq
205Please respect copyright.PENANA9qAchIKOJn
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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAf9RiOSmKo3
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjWRhp9uyUk
「哈芙小姐言之有理。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAuxaGHbRFQn
205Please respect copyright.PENANAhpCF62P0AW
「所以呢?女皇陛下知道嗎?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAQymTY1UaFB
205Please respect copyright.PENANAG0yJ2FxAgB
「為甚麼她要乘機反攻我?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAN3z092AaC0
205Please respect copyright.PENANAzcaDaIJ0IG
「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!」205Please respect copyright.PENANA6pQ7XSq7N0
205Please respect copyright.PENANAVXsOtZkW7l
「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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANANf65cQsa2A
205Please respect copyright.PENANAbBhiG8zFyJ
「沒錯。」哈芙交叉雙手。205Please respect copyright.PENANASyRJZruvYH
205Please respect copyright.PENANAivKJL3FMX1
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAYi5cEs9KAZ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAEdXqV1qPG2
貝吏刻唐敲門,「是誰?」沙卡美的聲音從裏面傳出。205Please respect copyright.PENANAqknNiFdFAH
205Please respect copyright.PENANADqKwd5LiTK
哈芙不滿地站在貝吏刻唐背後。205Please respect copyright.PENANA4QbiEamIlr
205Please respect copyright.PENANAc67BzoshJD
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAJGZdRmIR3l
205Please respect copyright.PENANAvcCi1g3NF0
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAZZi7SyqTpI
205Please respect copyright.PENANAq2H3wDGCvi
「進來吧。」「遵命。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ls2lcYLuQ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAWxTBgemfuV
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAXKxufN9yOB
205Please respect copyright.PENANALxU1qQeBfi
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAmrMWXKsHqp
205Please respect copyright.PENANAp5jKYwxJVD
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAu9eXmG0GVk
205Please respect copyright.PENANAOdtY8T5Lih
「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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAkF3u0RM9bp
205Please respect copyright.PENANAFL7Aq236ry
「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!」205Please respect copyright.PENANA7kU9q9YRNX
205Please respect copyright.PENANAgMBLDaOoiT
沙卡美放另一張文件到面前:「貝弟弟,這是怎麼一回事?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAgy38nXrN9n
205Please respect copyright.PENANAgKgj59e9Mf
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAb4aCekHBIX
205Please respect copyright.PENANAxYRAY7z4jy
沙卡美放下羽毛筆看著貝吏刻唐:「貝弟弟,你是笨蛋嗎?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAttwX9NTTJm
205Please respect copyright.PENANAo6BIhcYVEW
貝吏刻唐單膝跪地:「我已經準備好受罰,請女皇陛下降罪。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAhe7k7BTezG
205Please respect copyright.PENANAIWhtNAPOSf
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAq1xlpPrznm
205Please respect copyright.PENANAoeeXGUxjEu
「請女皇陛下降罪。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAgfPoYoLPmS
205Please respect copyright.PENANACsMjF1Ik82
「哈芙,妳想他做甚麼?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAAGQXzOcyXR
205Please respect copyright.PENANA5sCY6Y2OXy
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAqgYlE6CTuB
205Please respect copyright.PENANAujSpJRWw4t
「貝弟弟?」205Please respect copyright.PENANA3iyG3Ftrbg
「明白。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAapRYFdxglf
205Please respect copyright.PENANAzKVS6hMeDf
「女皇陛下,我先回房間拿信。」哈芙行禮後離開房間。205Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gw3v610z1
205Please respect copyright.PENANAdhkxI2YTIG
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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA7ykkT9Igen
205Please respect copyright.PENANAdqiohdzEUu
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAzAYMws1rTn
205Please respect copyright.PENANA4o3OivWuBn
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAOm9iTNawXG
205Please respect copyright.PENANAhzBhA9muXN
「女皇陛下真的那麼相信我和小娜嗎?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAc16jK3iOu6
205Please respect copyright.PENANALm6KFlCJsu
「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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAMHRxQ0t0Nz
205Please respect copyright.PENANA8tzhxdzYeT
「因為實在太不真實了,不論過多久我都會質疑。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAAYbSZfsIFe
205Please respect copyright.PENANAHW029L2RBy
「如果你像小娜一樣接受的話有多好......」205Please respect copyright.PENANABR8YPwBZzS
205Please respect copyright.PENANAcgNrPiWfF5
「我的使命就是保護小娜,要為她考慮多點。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAXQR8RVgJkW
205Please respect copyright.PENANAqTZ6N1CkM1
「朕知道了。等哈芙回來再說。」沙卡美繼續埋頭處理政務。205Please respect copyright.PENANAXzUdS5clO6
205Please respect copyright.PENANAtcwJQJe57B
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAQ95DCHXmuh
205Please respect copyright.PENANAO8LTuEHwwU
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA6EDaO79P7z
205Please respect copyright.PENANAd30gNS5Nod
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAPjJYovIwOe
205Please respect copyright.PENANALk3eRzbtFk
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANAvbTrGtLFLe
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZzSGuhKNnA
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA2HcKGv1vUK
205Please respect copyright.PENANAVpc8kS9vB0
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA1egY2doe99
205Please respect copyright.PENANA1tmbJt8b8U
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。205Please respect copyright.PENANA86DBusoSGD
205Please respect copyright.PENANAKiHXKLInio
不管如何,皇宮裏的每個人都很忙。205Please respect copyright.PENANAYumJgtXcn8
205Please respect copyright.PENANAbAC3HyaNpo
哈芙回來敲門:「女皇陛下,是哈芙。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAqdlEgcc3Yh
205Please respect copyright.PENANAimZ7B1dk6d
剛處理完一半文件的沙卡美不勞煩地說:「進來。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAsM4ItBSrZ4
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZxGbUnoGF8
貝吏刻唐站在沙卡美右後方欣賞些微恢復生氣的街道。205Please respect copyright.PENANAezfZUdIZDf
205Please respect copyright.PENANAqhzUgr7AI6
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。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAvlJdy82JAZ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAnUlZPTJvmr
「貝弟弟,朕剛才怎麼不記得叫你幫忙?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAjzsLG84owP
205Please respect copyright.PENANAY2J2YSwGcB
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?」205Please respect copyright.PENANAOReq2tyo0I
205Please respect copyright.PENANAwsGQwTPI4G
「也好,但等朕處理完面前這堆東西再說。」205Please respect copyright.PENANA4chO8e3697
205Please respect copyright.PENANACu5Hb4VkjM
哈芙補充:「請貝吏刻唐輔佐官絕對不要打開信。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAna0aGw972H
205Please respect copyright.PENANAfAhFgJDQkf
「貝弟弟。」205Please respect copyright.PENANAbLPLk6YFXD
