「有妳在的話，我們肯定能打造一個國泰民安的國家。」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsjfIpQjOF
「我把她交給你們！求求你們！放過我和我的宮殿吧！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQrrJS5rmT
「妳根本就不是女神……而是會帶來毀滅的邪惡女巫！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIsw8EkSh4
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwXnVwtGfh
「伊德里爾，妳為何仍然執迷不悟？」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Clh4snNW
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAjzP6s2Hq
「不是的！我──！」伊德里爾猛然睜開眼皮，挺起腰桿，伸直手像是想抓住什麼人。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1w5G5TJH3
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmyktmYDYP
由於過度使力，伊德里爾頓覺一陣頭暈目眩，自己的身體彷彿搖搖欲墜的吊橋。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyoXyep1Z2
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5enpDKYRb
她深吸一口，將肺部滿盈涼意的空氣，隨後一小點一小點吐出，試圖緩和方才的衝動。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpyJEhqpkI
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7C6OkolmO
綠湖般通透的雙瞳掃視周圍──身上不是穿著記憶中的禮服，而是連身睡衣。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjy1FUMhA6
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVyyyiM4P6
床單和枕頭貌似有被汗水浸濕的痕跡。潔白柔軟的棉被整齊地平鋪於腹部，窗簾也牢牢地掩住外頭的景色。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYL2rExO0O
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9yjo2GcaP
伊德里爾將兩指覆上太陽穴，接著順時針畫圓搓揉。她感覺如被針扎過那般頭痛欲裂，甚至連自己是如何換了衣物、躺上了床的印象也蕩然無存。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDGN1MBa38
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxc5bL81uK
她闔上雙眼，在意識裡的記憶之海垂釣了良久，最後總算釣起了一塊畫面片段──阿特里奇接吻的轉瞬之間。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iEBeVF6xI
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWHhfsAA87
羞愧如潮水般襲捲而來，紅暈染上了她白皙的側頰。兩隻手掌將捧住整張臉，像是想用微冷的手阻止因羞澀而導致的熱度繼續上升。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hazLQg2GQ
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotpmh3gVFw
肯定是那杯酒的錯！伊德里爾擰緊眉心，巴不得現在立刻使用時間回溯的魔法，倒轉到宴會前幾個小時。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kqCnHz0eC
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW0dOR1S9t
如此一來，不僅能請人稟告王后殿下由於身體不適，所以無法出席她的生日宴會，也不會喝下那杯使人意亂情迷的杯中物。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarUpi77ymw
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDtijIyXfb
阿特里奇她……會記得嗎……？她不禁暗忖。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBLKu8XDuE
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWe9631cL6
啪咔。眼角的餘光捕捉到半邊的宮門敞開了。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPkO32kbm4
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfM83uoAKa
亮眼的金黃髮梢從門縫中露出一小撮，碧眼緩緩地從門後冒出，似乎在窺探著宮內。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cOvj4s78y
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhjbkSY7hj
「伊……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmIRPOJRbf
「伊德里爾！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR5dhcGZ51
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUO9OkEQAT
銀鈴般的呼喚聲迴盪在宮中，帕米拉拎起緋紅色裙擺，噠噠噠地跑到床邊。尼爾則是把門輕輕帶上後，才慢慢走到帕米拉身旁。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6pI6tKSss
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADJrnpZ7Qm
「妳終於醒了！我好擔心妳！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpYSX6GtUN
「妳還好嗎……？」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilAr8MvTuh
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq5iq3ppoR
擔憂自己的問候此起彼落，模樣儼如兩隻飢腸轆轆的鳥兒，正焦急地向母鳥尋求餵食。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJQ2NOfnhH
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9opUkUqGOR
啪、啪。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyJyv1S2ON
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3U4FvKbrl
伊德里爾輕拍了兩下掌心，打斷了兩人問話，同時也讓他們的視線聚集在自己身上。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3phHnxzOM
「孩子們，謝謝你們的擔心。」伊德里爾欣喜一笑。「不過我們還是一個一個來吧？像平時上課的時候一樣提問！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DmZBblZPt
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHlL3LnQuW
語落，帕米拉如同往常一樣堅定且迅速地舉起手。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKZyF71cCA
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqazBiYGrb
「我我我！」帕米拉纖細的前臂在半空中揮舞。「伊德里爾妳餓了嗎？渴了嗎？我去請人替妳送吃的過來好嗎！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHT9m76VFt
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uD3xUwXKK
「當然好呀，小甜心。」伊德里爾抬手輕揉帕米拉的髮絲，小公主笑顏逐開，接著一溜煙衝出寢宮。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1KJG7IBOa
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO430nOLKS
這是伊德里爾最喜歡她的地方──直截痛快的行事風格。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmHX2HEdIZ
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK9EyLjPuq
「伊、伊德里爾……」留在原地的尼爾怯生生地詢問：「身體……好一點了嗎……？」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6uTH5APd6
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAmI01kvE2
「雖然不知道睡了多久，不過感覺比好多了。」伊德里爾輕笑。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUHJXwcLWe
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO33ckRoKj
小王子上下點了點頭，讓原本處於緊繃狀態的肩膀確確實實地放鬆下來。「太好了……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5pz35EDtv
尼爾雖然不像他姐姐那般直率，但善良且富有同理心的他，是絕不會疏於關心的步驟。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpCJMfNuU7
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlaFGeGmVR
「五天……」尼爾抬眸對視伊德里爾，濃綠的眼曈微動。「整整五天。」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbGsInaAvq
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMtgqKtIIH
「五、五天？」伊德里爾倒抽一口氣。對她而言，這則消息並非好事。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE72QvkLel
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh0werELDC
最近陷入深眠的次數愈來愈多，有時阿特里奇都得喚了好幾聲才會真正清醒過來。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxs8rXFkHF
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wkT0fZKHs
伊德里爾心事重重地支手撐頭，向尼爾叮囑道：「以後……萬一我睡得太久的話，請你和小公主不論用何種方式，請一定、一定要叫醒我，好嗎？」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp97JXFNSw
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAvhulPJGY
尼爾明白隱藏在話語中的重要性，並說了「我會轉告姐姐」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vGJBOVL4X
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAYSrlBNpu
「話說回來，阿特里奇去哪了？」按理說，此刻那名守護騎士應當要出現在眼前才是。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP66RaL9ZPL
只見尼爾欲言又止的神情，伊德里爾便知在自己睡覺期間裡，估計發生了什麼事。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw2ngK8sdf
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCplnLpElrX
「阿特里奇她……她去了精靈之森。」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHboKobELx
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbFEyhQezJ
伊德里爾一陣驚悸，本來好不容易恢復正常運作的腦袋，現在卻變成了茫然且不知所措的白紙，一下子什麼話也說不出來。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwc7Jseuwo
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCpTZKBqRh
「為……為什麼？」伊德里爾感覺自己的牙齒正不斷打顫。「她一個人嗎？是誰讓她去的……？」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mKjUHURXP
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dkwNnEzJz
「是的……而且是阿特里奇自願去的。她說那裡的泉水能讓伊德里爾更快好起來……」尼爾眉尾下彎，表露無奈。「但……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWj2OdIxlG
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXXPMpbeXL
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrMSIqw9Hs
精靈之森……距離這兒騎馬過去最多也就三天，然而端看尼爾凝重的神情──很難不去聯想阿特里奇是否遭遇了困難。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG51JgwwArh
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29AoTIwFLY
況且最近聽聞越來越多的族人不喜歡人類踏入森林裡。尤其是那些打從一開始就不信任人類的精靈，他們認為人類是愚蠢無知且蠻橫無禮。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7waK5U8nSe
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUKzMoLkh4
據說他們甚至會無聲無息地除掉任何一位入侵者。不分種族、不分性別。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCzGqT3lnR
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJzmpHO9yI
精靈之森的泉水不僅是精靈長壽的要素之一，也是某種特效藥，能使人快速消除自身的異狀。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6tU93tNKI
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYVDgO4loG
那個笨蛋騎士……伊德里爾雙手揪緊棉被。心臟像是被人掐住般無法正常跳動，上排齒彷彿快要將下唇咬出鮮血。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp9IeEAI19
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpxKlizI8U
再怎麼樣也不能一個人去啊……伊德里爾心裡焦急如熱鍋上的螞蟻。難以平復的情緒匯聚成一團熱氣流，在她的體內不間斷循環。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPAih4p7X0
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZSKg8KEi3
「我……我去外面幫妳看看阿特里奇回來了沒有……！」伊德里爾抱有同樣心情的尼爾，向伊德里爾簡單行禮後，快步離開宮中。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfUnDPVCc7
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxrKQl8zBy
伊德里爾閉眼且雙手交扣，如同修女禱告般嘴巴不停歇地碎念著，像是在吟唱冗長的精靈語。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD34YlwAZRN
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQqkn0kySw
求求您，請別讓她這麼快離開我。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMKtNmnnXZ
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77b7zJ1ODh
伊德里爾加大握力，向信奉的神明傾訴自己內心深處的渴望。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj5OGC4JJT
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xVWFNlXFr
「伊德里爾大人。」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVeQGuiiix
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkweJQc2OpD
「……！」伊德里爾驀地瞪大眼睛，朝聲音方向一望。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PHIZ98Wa8
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMepLFzv59F
「您醒了。」阿特里奇穿著一如往日的白色軍服，一手扶於劍首，另一手貌似握著什麼東西，出現在伊德里爾面前。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnCe6gZGUE
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvyGlhjpuU
阿特里奇一步步靠近床鋪邊，將手心攤開亮出一罐裝有透明液體的小藥瓶。「或許……喝下這個能讓您趕快──呃！」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz3bXwMrLx
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawlVmjy2cv
伊德里爾奮不顧身地擁住阿特里奇的腰圍，隱忍已久的淚水奪眶而出。她感覺心臟正在異於平常劇烈地跳動，彷彿將剛才所有的想法全都拋諸腦後。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukb8wHlOS3
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIBFPQ3kqq
「伊德里爾大人？」阿特里奇鮮少地發出驚嘆，手浮在空中不知該如何是好。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJziVxy39D7
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw969mS4Lj6
幸好、幸好……98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNGdXlt8Ql
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vU1wKdGUs
她回來了，而且毫髮無傷。98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhymY969yn0
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr653CZeMJ
「讓我……再維持這樣一陣子……」98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gQTSLSB6t
