「母......母親,妳在做什麼?」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAPaOCp0BkrG
1039Please respect copyright.PENANADoyWxynpHi
烏爾莉卡的視線越過鬣狗少年的肩膀,看見另一名更嬌小......甚至稱得上消瘦的嬌小身影站在不遠處。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAHxpQOy6Yv9
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAoNewxrzb6O
這名女孩才剛滿十歲左右,如銀雪般色澤的髮絲與跟烏爾莉卡幾乎一模一樣,可與母親冷冽且堅定的目光不一樣的是,她的雙眸則透漏一份出於擔心受怕、逆來順從的神情。即使周遭的天氣潮濕炎熱,而且羊毛服裝將她從頭頂到腳裸包裹得緊緊的,她瘦小的身子卻仍在微微哆嗦,宛如寒風中的落葉,一吹就會飛走。1039Please respect copyright.PENANA1XKHpchLww
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAx2ZYT43xl5
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年,快步奔向小女孩身邊。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAdtJtBRZ24N
1039Please respect copyright.PENANASTvxDp8pR9
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir),妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了?」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAUD2lucf0IF
1039Please respect copyright.PENANA39RHl5mYgt
只見銀髮小女孩的肩膀一震;每當母親說出自己全名時,就代表她自己惹上麻煩了。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAcfsnviBEnv
1039Please respect copyright.PENANANluJMEiKvY
「你害媽媽擔心極了你知道嗎?妳怎麼沒告訴我就自己跑出去?」1039Please respect copyright.PENANABTLU4czC4e
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAfDBo6cOE5K
烏爾莉卡的雙眸乍一看泛著幾乎可稱之為冰冷的色澤,但面對女兒時卻實實在在充盈著、並釋放著無法忽視的溫暖熱度。只不過當她在詢問女兒時,著急的口氣中帶了點咄咄逼人的味道。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAOR6zk4ME1c
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAVSjVVoHrD6
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭,支支吾吾道。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAMKnuYo83Zl
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAQgwoxFmI52
直到此刻,烏爾莉卡才注意到女兒手上提著一只裝滿清水的木製水桶。1039Please respect copyright.PENANA7FbFLZWily
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAYggejl2QNa
「是他叫你去提水來的?」烏爾莉卡狠狠瞪向一旁癱坐在地上,乾咳著的鬣狗少年。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAr1pkpoTXxf
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAjswlpBatWJ
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1039Please respect copyright.PENANA1AnNvr6TYH
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAEtIWGHSidG
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的?」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAJO1luVkazK
1039Please respect copyright.PENANA2vAGWo3f4R
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1039Please respect copyright.PENANA5nhcSBEHGq
1039Please respect copyright.PENANABJaEvAxubQ
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1039Please respect copyright.PENANA2SmH6JTQ6N
1039Please respect copyright.PENANADp71nmaWZ5
「幫忙?」1039Please respect copyright.PENANASnfhjXEECA
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAk85qtWylbK
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAu28OTM0waI
1039Please respect copyright.PENANA4wXEauxmpF
女兒這句話頓時觸動了烏爾莉卡的心弦,一陣難以言喻的刺痛與哀愁湧向她的心頭。1039Please respect copyright.PENANADrrQbtTjPi
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAVJZhJ0j3Df
「傻孩子,挑水這種事交給我去做就行了。」烏爾莉卡說:「我們也可以向挑水夫買水呀。更何況水井又這麼遙遠,一路上可能會發生許多危險。」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAxa7IgG32KG
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAWQVUycY9mg
「可、可是......」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAuaDeGtDTnC
1039Please respect copyright.PENANANKXvJ3LThW
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了,知道嗎?」1039Please respect copyright.PENANA3OfAhuazUa
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAiS1gXxi1ni
「啊......喔......」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAxejFT6wXb5
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAPnzP79wHfQ
莎薇沒有多說什麼,只是低下頭不發一語,踢了踢地面。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAHS9Pzllb7u
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAVRK0q4IRD8
這孩子太安靜了,烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAjoJWhdc6RF
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAupVVRufNm8
有些時候她還真希望女兒能對她大聲嚷嚷想要什麼,而不是把所有心事一股腦的全往肚裡吞。這孩子內斂性格多半是從她那繼承下來的,但莎薇卻嚴重缺乏在必要時挺起胸膛、堅定信念的勇氣與決心。1039Please respect copyright.PENANArjmv8kZGPw
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAq8BOBVVkJj
烏爾莉卡輕嘆一口氣;畢竟莎薇自出生後就不斷遭遇各種變動——而且還都是負面的那一種!1039Please respect copyright.PENANA0GhQOp3sja
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAVfUU7zbxBX
每況愈下的生活環境,讓莎薇連一個舒服的夏日午後都得引頸期盼,最終導致她對於未來缺乏期許。更別她的未來簡直能稱之為一片迷茫。烏爾莉卡常常見到莎薇臉上露出茫然無神的表情,就連那一雙大大的眼睛都顯得目光渙散。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAcjFmnymK67
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAW8h7h0xYr5
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到,自己何嘗不是如此呢?1039Please respect copyright.PENANAvfNrIUcyik
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAMWHSCr9Aqy
不行!1039Please respect copyright.PENANAOqoz07DUWW
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAERKpGpzUfp
她搖了搖頭。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAu0DKsd4Du1
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAzyUQxUzm9d
我必須保護她,保護我最後的親生骨肉,人生中唯一的希望.....1039Please respect copyright.PENANATfHZ3vjZ5Y
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAXzs9x5t5A0
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊?」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAAdXs5HtrDD
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAYel12KYzI7
就在此時,烏爾莉卡的思緒被艾塔奇的喃喃自語給拉了回來。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAsjblagMphz
1039Please respect copyright.PENANA8QfoEsuqax
她轉過頭去,看見剛才被自己抓起來的鬣狗少年搖搖晃晃地重新站起身子,他的臉色似乎還有些蒼白。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAywq6RMwcYT
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAMp0WHESaBv
「下一次您又要找莎薇小姐的話,請別用這麼粗暴的方式。」艾塔奇邊說邊揉了揉自己發紅的脖子。「剛才是莎薇小姐主動找我去挑水,我一路上我都有看顧好她的安全。」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAvlyuPHO9iM
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAzfydff9QLT
「這是真的嗎,莎薇?」烏爾莉卡問。1039Please respect copyright.PENANALOWERI3Vby
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAmGpXRgJukV
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAbYQIOMcOBX
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAssgRu7dUSF
「就......就算是這樣,我也不放心將她交給其他人帶,更別說是頭野獸人了。莎薇是我人生的一切。假如她發生什麼萬一的話,我絕對饒不了任何人......或鬣狗。」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAQEPEK2TcWW
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAXXV601XiWt
烏爾莉卡本以為自己凌厲的目光會使對方膽怯,但艾塔奇反而直率地迎向她的目光。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAYRpfrpJhOq
1039Please respect copyright.PENANA4ksqq75kYy
「這是當然的!」艾塔奇拍胸保證,一字一句都誠摯無比。「我清楚曉得莎薇小姐對您有多麼的重要,我會盡自己最大的力量來保護她!」1039Please respect copyright.PENANALEZUkjf9om
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1gNkjXRfi
「呃、咳哼,你知道就好!」1039Please respect copyright.PENANASXiGOQvNCR
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAW8XTSFdctd
烏爾莉卡不自覺地避開他的視線,對眼前這名少年坦率的言行有點招架不住。1039Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ckwpt0Ldw
1039Please respect copyright.PENANA4qJWI9qhbt
只不過,艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAa36t3ba9b5
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAPAYWBs8Z9b
「您是我的女王。而我,出身於鬣狗獸族的艾塔奇,也曾發誓過女王的願望是我的願望!」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAjqJnAqg3DX
1039Please respect copyright.PENANA9xN2bNFoIY
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著?」烏爾莉卡問。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAHKWdPGTK23
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAElfb4kQPHE
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛,獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說:1039Please respect copyright.PENANApxMvqytvCJ
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAEgIHHUjYCh
「俗話說,男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』:1039Please respect copyright.PENANAycFGsynsW7
一位是他的母親,這是理所當然的。1039Please respect copyright.PENANABPcfcOw1Wj
一位是他全心侍奉氏族族長,這是因為統治鬣狗氏族的皆是女子。1039Please respect copyright.PENANANNOztZHMmd
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAymKgItaXMB
烏爾莉卡夫人是我的妻子,所以我稱呼您為女王完全沒有問題!」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAhu55xgzABA
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAV58wr0CZfe
「妻子什麼的,別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1039Please respect copyright.PENANA2cGL0u36yG
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAgjdniIT0Nr
「可是我們倆已經在尼卡罕(nikah)——婚姻婚契上簽了名,從此我們倆就是夫.....夫妻了......」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAQBg7HZJtkF
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAg82zjQyu2q
烏爾莉卡忽然注意到艾塔奇雙頰泛起紅潮,只見他乾咳了幾聲,目光左右飄動,似乎不知道該看哪裡才好。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAh892TKvZlm
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAFIB9pDCbTN
直到此時,烏爾莉卡這才發覺自己頭髮凌亂,幾縷銀色髮絲貼在脖頸上,脖子至鎖骨及雙峰處香汗淋漓。身上的白色羊毛上衣更是全被汗水浸溼,顯露出她曼妙姣好的身材。1039Please respect copyright.PENANA4KhCVeUUA0
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAi4Cn5rcPcy
「莎薇,我們進房裡去。」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAKp0KDCrxqH
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAx4Jo8ib7db
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇,頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAxPvrGElMqY
1039Please respect copyright.PENANA3uPstgGiPn
「我的女王,我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1039Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zounj8mPN
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAW9FzM1eBNG
「不需要!」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAFapZgRy3Qj
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAO9lhIbHfqv
「我的女王,請稍等一下。」1039Please respect copyright.PENANALCvIbEozFo
1039Please respect copyright.PENANA3UTZIZk3Pf
「又怎麼了?」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAVjfIAXo19D
1039Please respect copyright.PENANA2smjOqouJw
「您住在這也有一個多星期了,」艾塔奇紅著臉緩緩的低下頭,一臉羞澀地說:「是時候該盡一下妳的.....職責吧?」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAE8AyY1zjfA
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAvpWDWLqNpJ
「職責......」1039Please respect copyright.PENANA1qLdNQeaFB
1039Please respect copyright.PENANANtyIggXtUX
烏爾莉卡愣了一下,接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAu0SW5mKwSM
1039Please respect copyright.PENANA5elS3r5FQZ
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAwXpmX0k830
1039Please respect copyright.PENANACYJfAOXpw0
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了!」1039Please respect copyright.PENANA8HpPKgzhng
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAiRxw3U1ohn
可是當烏爾莉卡重新面向對方,她正巧一眼對上艾塔奇那雙誠懇溫暖、閃閃發光的眼眸。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAl8cJinLJJ7
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAtrqleGii3m
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAlYtWwOtcdU
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAJUdg4Mi8No
「那我去準備一下,請先去房間等我!」1039Please respect copyright.PENANADgwqzKkWTw
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAsw9XyQsQSc
「嗯。」1039Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6gkOCdG6R
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAGXgj6wyxpa
烏爾莉卡冷漠地點了點頭,然後轉身離去。但是在那張冰冷面孔之下,卻是一個正在吶喊的靈魂。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAA0QXbOtugz
1039Please respect copyright.PENANA8D8V3bnrB4
我明明是個三十歲的婦人,為什麼這個十二歲的男孩會成為我的丈夫啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊!1039Please respect copyright.PENANAK4n96352V1
1039Please respect copyright.PENANAYAoy9spmPH
內心被這份難以言喻的困惑所衝擊,使得烏爾莉卡不禁回憶起自己過往的人生,以及不久前發生的那齣重大事件。1039Please respect copyright.PENANAkdZB1i3qag
