「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyphPP0hdd
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F0YeG3RPr
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBcXyb8ASy
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzc1BRAPAJ
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h6OIwtj8R
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpL6diBrwK
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMoOVbxaJr
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAGaIgL5Wj
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULWDH9SFuP
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFnTBX9iqS
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiTcgbZnbj
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7ohFVqp8F
「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？」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQXIPGL1Hq
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwMI9jv6Zc
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79x6tfyhqE
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJTLaWgNiq
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawU8fuRfRg
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtguo4oiMOL
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNyfcqOgO0
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JdUhOixAE
「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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC4McDmzZM
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FI1wa323n
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXKy2q3Hwp
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTuJnW592s
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ259zKqoJqb
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxuzHgQiKy
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfIIn4JjOg
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq7qhXwgGi
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuS9HuvnTP
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnu4tBWkl8
「幫忙？」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoqysCNHIz
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyIMea0Njj
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwZIsF62uZ
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbDFmlajJP
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVERv3i8K9p
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnPv00I910
「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。」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW71HnOY4X
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ja6VT3nQJ
「可、可是......」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG9aiNAANu
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOd5C1Jfit
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG3KK6X5e2
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOGfM2b8ci
「啊......喔......」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsILHGTjoEy
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrRj3X6Nfy
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGQpMAQT4r
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQIyeiI3Lu
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsjgpM3tcQ
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPA2laHEf2
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR90QNwjBz
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiczUsj5YH
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！1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCD4wir8ln
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18BKSHxawV
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFGr7axlF7
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjncGleY0w
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeMEFJA6Qn
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3XjskK5lS
不行！1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJgMbWa3t3
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmFCS21rpF
她搖了搖頭。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6hbK6k5iJ
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oZQOY4EDN
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDwV3lQq9X
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJUcQhF3Ei
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPf0HzkX8b
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQEweaYsYM
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX5c7UvwdY
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAntmkgJcgs
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcRoNj3htD
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbsEmUdGw3
「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。」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Me0F4g9yW
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE6SJAYBHI
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPEGFH4pBV
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrITOWJU8SO
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq9L62BvHC
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IdkR5KDJ8
「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。」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzaRtppC67
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzR2cr9GXl
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNwEPkvsqO
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsrm6v0g9A
「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！」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLaUgJiHZK
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76vqPTIKlq
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZlaJsY8bi
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJppDUeZn8L
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkOtoxEqCQ
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1lCYVLRZJ
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Ir09LqJ9
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwk8xzkzt5
「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！」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI3qJ3BST6
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk1QmYOOIi
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymuEwOnxtp
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1lqJHVqRX
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQTvGD2NtM
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEqK9jDjA3
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8uVD8IcpW
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU82IOsc7p
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT9793420Q
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMppYjGvsF
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！」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzHsV8UzCT
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgz2t8T6RA
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegfb6ph4r0
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnhpXfQpui
「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......」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTAmYKTqF5
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQOjBjMIKc
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zzba3TZEo
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH19nDXjvrD
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36YDoLUnaK
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfD48xhVpO
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPlYUyJMKR
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvizhRpyHZ
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnDXQHwbYq
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsvNMlvI3Q
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gZTJUqNWo
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVqiggjUj8
「不需要！」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUUGLndDGO
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EUPhOWExX
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu06zRAcdqc
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ875oRzk4m7
「又怎麼了？」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI6xmSuTfF
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfQ9VnSlMh
「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？」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CiY97AaiU
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczAEtwQNvK
「職責......」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0raeFoNY10
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5FZlIrQ9U
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqjXLfGHsy
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4ft7tAZRt
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdv8BsdEAr
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9uPescHzk
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSqsRKEzj5
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShpNRIncsQ
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHk99ed1sk
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZbbySOi91
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsRExoEd5L
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH5xs3KaYb
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLmfVXs4Gi
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ48ICKILSb
「嗯。」1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MaIPCciK0
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SbOI5IW79
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSuoxdKHrw
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP8ryUHEm4
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！1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9H5KoDKWd
1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk87Bk6vhg
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。1031Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4sdgcFIif
