南極皇都到希臘官邸的航班，金度‧金恩‧艾因里希非常享受。帝國高層會議結束，他帶回不少名望，還有自我啟發。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK0QHxyKt2
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUQifzqmoJ
「父親大人，辛苦了。」布麗姬特按照禮數，再次出宮到停機坪迎接。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoxINdVmKB
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EP0KfqQ2B
「妳怎麼一個人過來？麥西米利恩呢？」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFyeKDop7R
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnF1LvuSBc
「騎士大人在樹林那面，檢測他的馬兒。」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDoC6gaJzE

「好吧，希望安逸生活不會害他鈍掉。」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzm9DL7QEn
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ezxhhc4TC
金度牽起女兒的手走進廳堂，行為舉止格外親切，但他額頭上的傷疤，讓布麗姬特感到擔憂。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6m8ZIbkp5
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtTLyLG3iS
「您身體還好嗎？要不要休息一下？」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaos7lhCq8u
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoIE6oni09
「哦？沒事沒事，打仗嘛，難免受點傷，一切都有回報的……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H2gfIFfxa
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZisArzWMD9
老將軍神采煥發，迫不及待地說出好消息，「跟妳說，爸爸要升遷了！我能分到火星，妳會變成老家的公主……更重要的是，我會有更多時間陪妳。」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTnOo9StHc
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoU18MlYW5
「真的嗎……太好了，終於……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSGelqTFui
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d8TUbZ7Xn
布麗姬特擁抱父親、喜極而泣。上次離別之前，那副憂心忡忡的蒼老面容，她終於能夠忘懷。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH4TdFoElO
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqwVYgwTJd
「原諒我……埋首工作，都沒注意到妳已經……長這麼大了……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg2SvOvWdi
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJMIn38zrw
摟住女兒的腰，金度輕聲細語道：「上次我有沒有交給妳……什麼東西？代為保管？撞到頭，害我有點失憶呢……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgmttZhmu7
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fS8KMqm5r
「嗯？有啊，那個小儲存碟……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHakoB0vJU
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEImo99ouR
不要相信任何人。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxyZeLjghv
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmDhZEDu2g
沉重告誡閃過布麗姬特腦海。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUzKMWxFE4
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoPa0yaLhO
身上游移的手掌讓她十分不自在。父親的瞳孔深處，竟然有一股陌生氣息。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F9oWbnvCJ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g5Sui2PN7
「小儲存碟？在哪裡？」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVLMznjjeF
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Dzbl7eJSq
「還……留在宮內，也許，等我們拜訪母親、用完餐之後……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdoWcUWV2Y

「拿給我，我需要⸺現在！」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu9nBr6m0w
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaSex2xs14
吼聲在宮中迴響。金度發現女兒驚恐的神情，一改咄咄逼人的態度。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYOfsJoXSq
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uEm63l7Bl
「噢，抱歉，親愛的……可以把它還給我嗎？裡面有很重要的東西。」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjZA4ZSrcM

「是……父親，我這就回寢室找找……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ7V5QLrCN
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmijVigesaq
雙手緊握裙襬，快步跑過長廊、走上階梯。千金公主喘著大氣、鎖緊房門。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdru1nOhEh7
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyd9W9a2Ii
鳥兒鳴叫，日光依舊。她慢慢低下頭，從鑰匙孔向外看去。剛才那些，應該只是錯覺而已。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsx0zEFPh6
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh4cSqW5Ab
一片黑，什麼都看不見。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwAWzP6qkv
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQlJYTVtbi
她這才發現，被稱為父親的男人緊貼在門外，準備彎腰窺視進來。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL4zpITXf6
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFf8bSacIO
「嗚……」布麗姬特擋住嘴巴，往牆邊跌去。幸好絨毛地毯吸收聲音，讓她能偷偷從死角爬到陽台。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vq28P0unr
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP2BjKSK8K
「不、不要……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE9L9cKr5X
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH9MTDaNcL
聽到門把粗暴亂轉，貴族之女掏出藏在胸口的儲存裝置，強忍淚水接受現狀，「爸爸出事了……這裡不能待，要想辦法逃出去。」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OodkVOwom
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeBa7lK8oL
海風刺痛手指，布麗姬特緊緊抓住外牆浮雕，一邊聽著漸漸增多的腳步聲，一邊攀下地面。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVY4992jA6
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEKjtua0M3
脫掉高跟鞋、壓抑恐懼，她小心翼翼避開巡邏衛兵，成功進入樹林。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw66wA8HCD
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kh6YLZ3s1
「快逃、快逃……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uIfqHSbwB
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyuz6PLIWN
但是，又能逃去哪？沒了家室，她要怎麼活下去？545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75GxfnvpqW
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhYDt9JjJm
閃過眼角的樹幹就像不懷好意的人群，不斷打擊她的意志，直到她體力透支、跌倒在地。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRnhuOXaA9
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1TRLV1oML
強忍淚水狼狽起身，落葉被踩碎的聲音從布麗姬特前方傳來。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47EmZBzlSa
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbmoc5tMtz
「誰……騎士大人？」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo18HdivX7
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaf9YHHVpY
身穿長袍軍裝，臉上有改造紋路的武將伸出援手，扶著主公的女兒躲進草叢。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAWxokvbEI
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay7xbDMzCA
「麥西，父親表現很奇怪，我們要找人幫忙！」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1EOAImOls
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKuXM9Acce
「在下明白……金度將軍給了命令，萬分抱歉。」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIeJpZLATn

「麥西米利恩，難道你也……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA79CZZ23H
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dPqadGIkp
落難公主心底一涼，還沒反應過來就被重擊後頸、失去意識。漸漸模糊的視線中，是充滿悔意的男人神情。
思念與夢境，帶著女子回到故鄉。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUqVrLU7O1
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxRYioGYjj
火星表面經過千年改造，已經像極了地球，不同的是，那裡海水顏色偏紅。布麗姬特很久沒看到老家，但總是會夢到同一個場景。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RD0oLtllZ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllTY9IVp0g
安寧病房窗外是紅色汪洋，母親嚥下最後一口氣。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXVLpqTxRQ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGhVXqVger
金度的妻子比夫君更「不像貴族」。她堅持靠自己的力量與病魔搏鬥，不接受複製人器官移植。雖然成功生下一女，但還是難逃命運魔爪。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2gTObWVIa
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v57WI1w9Y
「是我害媽媽死了……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhATl14QKF

回憶中的父親輕撫自己頭頂，母親的遺容充滿安詳。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdq6f9N27r
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBmN87hNRZ
「她把生命交給妳，所以妳要堅強……任何人、任何事物都沒辦法傷害妳，因為妳有她的祝福，還有我的愛。」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyF1DUZOav

「爸爸！」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3HFMGhCLZ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekD4HOixxy
布麗姬特睜開眼睛，發現自己被安全帶繫在船艦駕駛座，旁邊正是打暈她的騎士。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrhzXV0ipC
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gv4AS3nhF
「麥西米利恩‧羅威‧邁爾，你竟敢……」落難公主拔出臂環內藏小刀，抵住背叛者的脖子。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5IL33Abfj
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp5dv6DlW0
沒有回應，也沒有辯解。布麗姬特仔細一看，發現騎士冒著冷汗，一手操縱面板，另一手緊壓腹部，長袍被血跡染紅。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZP49bokw3
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3xMUQxpLC
「大小姐，我願接受任何懲罰，但必須等我們成功脫逃……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMQFdMRSmA
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElfonCIEmh
「你……為什麼……」布麗姬特收起小刀幫忙止血，試著整理混亂思緒，「到底怎麼回事？我們在哪？」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU9G7Yb7yp
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ5PKysZzQ
「金度將軍下令將您活捉，甚至要進行拷問，那完全不像他，在下……違反軍紀，把您帶到這艘運輸船，不小心中槍。」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2zkBCI4WY
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBlAWoHUp2
「父親果然……可是，要逃到哪呢……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqcufEhUvK
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob9euFLLNz
麥西米利恩推動油門，艙內顛簸加劇，「我的計畫是……突破大氣層，換乘機體甩開追兵，尋求庇護……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNwJDNiuQI
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncGTJOui7N
閃光與震動逐漸停止，太空梭飛出地球，迎接它的，是數萬顆攻擊衛星組成的防禦陣列。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yp3yv1rTN
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5AAOyAcAs
濃密雷射交織亂舞，瞬間把船身大卸八塊。煙塵與碎片之中，一架機械半人馬浴火出擊。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBcyFZn4aF
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX492bCfXHW
四足推進器猛踏真空；雙手握槍殺出重圍。侍衛武將專用機「山杜爾‧弓騎」且戰且走，披肩裝飾燒毀也無妨，因為繡在上頭的帝國旗幟，它已經不再效忠。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIdsMraHRR
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnGQMVWVy0
「大小姐，請您忍耐！」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY8mu6kblU
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYBeTJcnxD
人馬機兵只有單一座位，騎士雙手緊抱公主減緩衝擊，同時透過神經連結裝置進行戰鬥。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn7ec7QQt4
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfWuiUd5RG
山杜爾左右閃避，展開槍柄上的柺刃，同時對應不同距離的威脅。但，攻擊衛星怎麼殺都殺不完，載著追兵的船隻也進入宇宙空間。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIm98HN7Ka
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8PP8Itct9
「小心！月球碎片來了！」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DCE8OYHYW
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVif6ETmJj8
布麗姬特看到螢幕上的警報，得知她們走頭無路。就要放棄希望時，突然感到環抱身體的手臂更加緊縮。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6dkmO5zce
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcQVd2LbuE
無數流星群當前，半人馬沒有退縮，而是把雙槍互相結合，全速衝進死亡風暴。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxsKcVD6c0

「在下等的就是這個……長弓型態！高出力照射！」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vB7zM3l9x
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6moqNIbZ6f
強烈光束在風暴中轟出一個大洞，正好讓山杜爾進入。大量碎塊因此改變軌道，開始往地球落下，攻擊衛星只好轉頭執行原本工作，擊落威脅皇都的隕石。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwUpeI1iFX
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojrMVu1SkP
帝國追兵也被迫停止前進，因為衝進月球殘骸根本是自殺行為。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgcuNMWCUp

「麥西……」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGmgDN4dvq
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuBdviRLFo
人馬機兵在天昏地暗的亂塵中閃躲、跳躍。G力不斷拉扯布麗姬特全身，她終究還是支撐不住、再次暈厥。最後映入眼簾的，是騎士的全心全靈，還有通訊螢幕上的求助對象⸺和平重工。
公主與騎士成為不確定因素。同時間，木星圈也出了一位逃家貴族。他帶走的不是小小磁碟，而是大半數宇宙艦隊。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MHFtwjXZt

艾莉雅的訊號逐漸轉弱，新月元帥就快脫離她的掌控。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrzoo5JnhO
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVodfNy54v
「您錯了，區區軍閥，根本沒有『國家』可以背叛，如果我不過去幫助桑德斯，就永遠無法奪得正統。」545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvvgAP7dTj
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMBK0wy8J5
親后派份子被關進運輸艇，運回木衛四。元帥只留下少數守軍，因為有纏結通訊裝置，離開家園也能隨時掌握狀況。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAhG4hPMCX
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rnviPT6nq
萬事俱備，本應充滿信心的他，卻被母親的最後一席話搞得五味雜陳。545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSi5xfbYoR

集結的新月、蠢動的帝國與重工。各方勢力角逐天下，外環抗軍仍蟄伏在太陽系邊境。他們能否成為燎原星火？一切都得在土星戰役見真章。
