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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqqJfUcLKZ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXEsKEs6rc
「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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI6tVu09QT
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7QK2xLVJt
「妳怎麼一個人過來？麥西米利恩呢？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB8pBUFFCv

453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf7ixLxgL6
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA3wwHUWYu
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm83bUBvsfp
「您身體還好嗎？要不要休息一下？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFaOlFIomU

「哦？沒事沒事，打仗嘛，難免受點傷，一切都有回報的……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxyoph4BAv
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYbHrHYHmf
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。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5H9knXlLA
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r9E3Mq2I9
「真的嗎……太好了，終於……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFumjh9oxk
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj6ZSvZgbA
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK7u28sOg4
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL0YT7KUTB
「原諒我……埋首工作，都沒注意到妳已經……長這麼大了……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK7JkXE3Q5
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBtAL30ISR
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……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9r1hGwy2R
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcExcupDnFZ
「嗯？有啊，那個小儲存碟……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOstEp5JHZi

不要相信任何人。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31Syymyhx4
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKHwz7AazS
沉重告誡閃過布麗姬特腦海。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkqZbsqzOO
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWq8IBdpM1
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VMOuuja2U
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO33aw7TOO
「小儲存碟？在哪裡？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO3PN3T8An

「拿給我，我需要⸺現在！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYntGFCL328
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjKp4a8HSO
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhNW35OB6Q
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElRsoZGoW5
「噢，抱歉，親愛的……可以把它還給我嗎？裡面有很重要的東西。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdit4kNC4x6

「是……父親，我這就回寢室找找……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV6HfIUqWu
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfejc4VuwFm
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWw4LyCOxH
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLaiYb08l1
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EGqhTPUUu
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpr98ADD2D
一片黑，什麼都看不見。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0mPCtVAxH
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkiLWKRJ1S
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7jch01Bmh
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z2SlnUfST
「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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniUcNiDP8S

「不、不要……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWvkI016tR
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRgOzGcPMz
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。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsQNdPCX0j
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPKUu8AsoF
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZpDWhbTLz
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO0RLESN5z
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCbXThoCza
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZh5yUVoiI
「快逃、快逃……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM5WcBUxI4
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySNmz85XTw
但是，又能逃去哪？沒了家室，她要怎麼活下去？453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KxMreicyr
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWn9bBcSFe
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBwUXli3wj
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k6cHTabG3
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a0tjZQ74I
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4RR4TjtIS
「誰……騎士大人？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvC0kzbiz3
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7242vWEeC
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnIc2FI5Ox
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTOV0CVOoc
「麥西，父親表現很奇怪，我們要找人幫忙！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhufMxWCE0V

「麥西米利恩，難道你也……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9HI9G6QQL
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFWWgcPJrn
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66Ny3jHFuM
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPYMnKRZuD
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJbGLcSaFb
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DswaP894U
安寧病房窗外是紅色汪洋，母親嚥下最後一口氣。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2aprhDcnW
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn5lqHscZg
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDqMLzEq9D
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8nkVBg2rY
「是我害媽媽死了……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x310HWlsy

回憶中的父親輕撫自己頭頂，母親的遺容充滿安詳。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLIvhU8M8F
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkRSOlgHAg
「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。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxYl8Tjvmj

「爸爸！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKrrSkoiiO
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzSJhGZgpv
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8kDNLo24Y
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy6399yQln
「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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxb96JVrmH
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuqfWoA9BL
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVMY8CNZZl
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRaiB0qvXH
「大小姐，我願接受任何懲罰，但必須等我們成功脫逃……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNagkRUsKT
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36208GPL60
「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？」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdIg7dtOZk
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcayfwryHX
「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。」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcdGbm1Qr2
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh6eRB9iHF
「父親果然……可是，要逃到哪呢……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYdN7yx8wb
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UAkaZft9q
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……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSng3Dbb1qk
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MZOwAoVRi
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3oC9DCNFX
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBzZneb2lk
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAQYUSqmYD
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0MAqmqZ7P
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVKv7w5AkX
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEpmiV8mN8
「大小姐，請您忍耐！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuV4siP7wn
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUcMsxs0PE
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRKcan2m2j
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyjH5f2YRD
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFPHLR582m

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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMusEpUoW18
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbTjYePisx
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpjCDdxFHC

「在下等的就是這個……長弓型態！高出力照射！」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcegB2wbbkS
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEksSSEVoy
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn7QI7iNhk
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0QavQanZ1
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsf0MLPjVH

「麥西……」453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSREiKL7qu
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeEOwLMBrF
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlev10a1S6A

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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFCO8xHZCj
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMBDo45vZk
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjfgZQqQ75

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。
