巫女向她點頭接受邀請:「勞煩陛下了。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAvFt7bKmm3T
432Please respect copyright.PENANAVr2rnPffzO
她垂下雙手露出笑容跟巫女說:「沒事沒事!跟我來吧!」432Please respect copyright.PENANAaXxi6DqKtd
432Please respect copyright.PENANAKDyUtyYzAq
說畢,托拉姬薇達用輕快腳步走上以深藍地毯鋪墊的樓梯。她明明穿著高跟鞋和舞裙卻依然前後擺動雙手,雙腳移動的幅度大得像是要跳起來一樣。連同她不斷搖動的長髮一起看,她猶如一個天真無邪、不懂世事的女孩。432Please respect copyright.PENANAdZDtsBFmP0
432Please respect copyright.PENANA66TCIJKdFx
普利王國王宮外牆塗上鐵一般的黑灰色,外牆上掛了八枝普利王國的旗幟,蔚藍海洋上的黑鷹正展翅高飛。432Please respect copyright.PENANAcPm4f7qrnU
432Please respect copyright.PENANAfco4LoC89R
巫女在跟上去之前和衛兵說:「等一下會有一個白頭髮的女生抱著一個小女孩過來,她們也是伴隨小女子的朋友,她們來了可以勞煩衛兵先生帶她們到小女子所在的地方嗎?」432Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZXogpLJWC
432Please respect copyright.PENANAFRwxKOGGZi
衛兵起初不願直視她,在「嗯」了數聲後看著她就:「我會的。」432Please respect copyright.PENANANrDFWLcxVw
432Please respect copyright.PENANAyjUudrzzZG
「感謝。」巫女向他點頭後跟托拉姬薇達走上樓梯,你和伊達斯緊隨其後。432Please respect copyright.PENANAZWyQzajaEs
432Please respect copyright.PENANAh0F1mu37sm
「快點吧!」托拉姬薇達轉身催促你們,她即使向後走上樓梯速度也沒有變慢,反而加快了。432Please respect copyright.PENANA7eEktVRlK5
432Please respect copyright.PENANA8dx6VAlWxQ
她說完便再轉身向前,你和伊達斯交換眼神後一致認為要小心。432Please respect copyright.PENANAVKcFHvPMVz
432Please respect copyright.PENANAgEOgHmHkIR
托拉姬薇達帶你們到王宮的會客室,沒有燃燒的火爐上掛了一幅肖像畫,畫中人是不久前駕崩的普利王國上任國王—洛明・普利。432Please respect copyright.PENANAVsNxrrQwhs
432Please respect copyright.PENANATvWyjyPDbA
畫中的他正坐在木椅上,他三名年幼兒女正拉著他的褲子彷彿想他陪他們玩,但他手執鷹頭權杖面無表情地和賞畫之人對視。你聽聞他是個十分平庸的君主,誕下托拉姬薇達算他的福氣還是不幸?432Please respect copyright.PENANAisrgpOG1VY
432Please respect copyright.PENANAS8tRijpSsR
房間中央有張茶几,茶几兩側分別有張以皮革製成的沙發,中心還鋪了一張深紅色的毛地毯覆蓋房間大部分面積。茶几上方的天花有頂吊燈,但王宮在日間主要依賴自然光照明,吊燈上的蠟燭暫時派不上出場。432Please respect copyright.PENANA1jIlRQFnnD
432Please respect copyright.PENANAJvObirAQ2p
巫女坐在托拉姬薇達對面,你和伊達斯坐在巫女左右,在僕人為你們以及托拉姬薇達倒完茶並離開房間後,托拉姬薇達開口說:「巫女閣下,其實女皇陛下她在本國引起了許多騷動。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAscLsZc34oj
432Please respect copyright.PENANAnwbMLfW9I3
她拿起茶杯優雅地喝了一口茶然後繼續說:「陛下她偽裝成另一個人與我的兄長們私通,和貧民窟的人們一起密謀綁架我。」432Please respect copyright.PENANA75QfdQRCQu
432Please respect copyright.PENANANjV5UfZLAK
巫女不敢相信,馬上問:「是不是有甚麼誤會?小女不是這種人!」432Please respect copyright.PENANAZN7rrwgMlO
432Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZltfAuaB1
你和伊達斯也露出無法相信的表情,托拉姬薇達放下茶杯解釋:「我絕對不會無緣無故誣衊任何人。陛下還帶著精兵來到本國首都,在本國沒有邀請陛下的情況下拿出不知是誰捏造的邀請函聲稱是來參加先王的國葬儀式。然而陛下在儀式結束後非但沒有立刻回國,更以帝國名義租用了此城裏的一家旅館作為據點。因為我在國葬儀式上突然出現說要爭奪王位,陛下不知為何協助我的兄長們對付我,之後就是我剛才提過的事。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAYbizIWZhnK
432Please respect copyright.PENANA1wYesS2Rbp
你很肯定這一切都是她的計謀,她也看似很有信心能動搖巫女對沙卡美的信任。432Please respect copyright.PENANAweYcDHAiHL
432Please respect copyright.PENANAVufzybwmmB
母女之情有那麼容易破壞還叫母女之情嗎?432Please respect copyright.PENANALR4Se2n8tn
雖說如此,沙卡美真的會做這種事嗎?托拉姬薇達說的話不可盡信,但她擅長的是在真話裏滲入陷阱。432Please respect copyright.PENANA8okpFl6ShH
432Please respect copyright.PENANA3eod0uy3QP
對杜萊・拿斯哈—現在的你來說,只會認為沙卡美有不為人知的一面,紀錄片果然是紀錄片。432Please respect copyright.PENANALhDSNl2Khb
432Please respect copyright.PENANAJG4LsPW4Zc
你喝了一口茶之後問托拉姬薇達:「陛下認為帝國的女皇陛下是自己鋪排那場事件嗎?」432Please respect copyright.PENANA5ihGiFVYVi
432Please respect copyright.PENANAHKmYh9tveU
「你叫甚麼名字?」432Please respect copyright.PENANACB2LdG8t2J
432Please respect copyright.PENANA21xo6MABAB
「抱歉。小姓拿斯哈,名杜萊。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAKinaeReQmN
432Please respect copyright.PENANARf7BL5Huor
「杜萊閣下,我也沒有證據判斷陛下她是否『鋪排』,但我和兄長們都很不屑陛下所做之事。對了,閣下的面具下到底藏了甚麼人?」她向你微笑。432Please respect copyright.PENANAQcHsHhdRVZ
432Please respect copyright.PENANAnx0zXDutGm
茶的餘韻殘留於你口中,你喝下茶後似乎精神了一點。432Please respect copyright.PENANApiLvQ5x6EV
432Please respect copyright.PENANATH16oxOcwz
你盯著她似黑洞的笑容回應:「每個人心中都有一副面具,小人只是將那副面具放在臉上而已。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAbMoQm6BmxB
432Please respect copyright.PENANAO9RdlHfu8U
「看來杜萊閣下很喜歡這副面具。我也認同閣下的說法。」她撫胸說:「我心裏也有一副面具。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAzxbdJSQ9DQ
432Please respect copyright.PENANAnVs3OjWtsd
她心裏的與其說是面具,倒不如說是墨鏡。432Please respect copyright.PENANAzOlx4N3NLi
432Please respect copyright.PENANAdSEhG4puMP
連眼睛也看不見。432Please respect copyright.PENANAVaLoydEOb5
432Please respect copyright.PENANAhm4gLRld8C
巫女露出擔憂的表情問她:「敢問陛下是否遺漏了一些細節沒有告訴小女子?小女不是個擅長權謀的君主。」432Please respect copyright.PENANApPLqtUmepJ
432Please respect copyright.PENANAF63BlxL7gO
她雙手放在大腿上以輕柔的聲線回答:「陛下雖然不擅長權謀,但陛下很有成為演員的才能。雖然我沒有真正和陛下交流過,但我很佩服陛下的演技。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAWS1HQoylyu
432Please respect copyright.PENANArXDjWnb7DX
她這句話只是重複同一個意思兩次吧?不知為何,你聽完這句話之後頭好像有點暈。432Please respect copyright.PENANApjfESkzqCv
432Please respect copyright.PENANAA4pZoOqL2Y
好像有種魔力讓腦袋負荷過重,你腦海有一刻完全空白。432Please respect copyright.PENANAnDj06xhk2E
432Please respect copyright.PENANAFVYgErDMrq
「小女......」巫女好像也中了同樣的魔法,低著頭想不到要說的話。432Please respect copyright.PENANAwrJvxJ0eBw
432Please respect copyright.PENANApCg32d0WNX
這就是語言藝術嗎?432Please respect copyright.PENANAYIA32w6M0o
432Please respect copyright.PENANAX050R64Uqm
「小人想問陛下一個問題。」伊達斯彷彿完全不受影響,正經地問托拉姬薇達。432Please respect copyright.PENANAEiD3QpkvLY
432Please respect copyright.PENANA28TlpfZnSW
「問吧。」432Please respect copyright.PENANARvIGkDGpqY
432Please respect copyright.PENANAqJA3l0azQf
「陛下想帶領國家走向甚麼方向?」432Please respect copyright.PENANANdbgXIxuY7
432Please respect copyright.PENANAjDGSSOMOVP
伊達斯的問題很直接。身為巴烏卡成員的托拉姬薇達成為女王之後,到底想用整個國家的力量做甚麼?向帝國發動戰爭嗎?432Please respect copyright.PENANAPk1VoJ4057
432Please respect copyright.PENANAAAz3q4zl6I
托拉姬薇達拿起茶杯一口喝掉裏面的茶後放下茶杯,單刀直入地說出目標:「統一世界。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAnENhtV70jk
432Please respect copyright.PENANAXb2uGwszo5
巫女和伊達斯都很詫異,托拉姬薇達詳細說明:「只要還有所謂的『國境』存在,人類都會挑起戰爭。再加上我無法接受帝國女皇陛下的統治方式,陛下在這一個月內害死了多少人?然而陛下居然還有餘力在本國演出鬧劇,我無法理解。我相信每一個人內心最深處都有一顆純樸的種子,但陛下的種子似乎已經腐爛。只要帝國依然存在,和平就不會降臨。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAFjYY9dPWak
432Please respect copyright.PENANAY9JiOG6oRs
你很高興她終於露出狐狸尾巴,問她:「陛下認為國民會支持以卵擊石的做法嗎?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAxMPiXLy9h6
432Please respect copyright.PENANAfIV5Y3SuP3
她翹著腳回答你:「杜萊閣下應該比我更清楚吧?現在不再是槍炮的時代,現在是魔法的時代。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAgM2xTrE3EA
432Please respect copyright.PENANADiAqCWpyjf
這時候,抱著熟睡妮亞的繪絲衝進會客室問你們:「為甚麼妮亞的爸爸死了?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAmxcH89scOI
