「母......母親，妳在做什麼？」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcvOUTsMF8
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyf8gVX8xG
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS8ekvUEDi
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrEKYQA58s
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrIT6tpXe4
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d8tI70pue
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年，快步奔向小女孩身邊。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJcVHhIUgm
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4W3bHFIrs
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir)，妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了？」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszUvmDbjKH
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe5Ursg8bs
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMu5FLIYzF
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzvrYd1WAC
「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？」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QZd3oYHdE
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ZBevIPvB
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tINjBmSuC
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB2xdCj1bd
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭，支支吾吾道。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEkY9ik85N
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMA6O1aSSt
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpQhzAIcNs
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyskhlnOR19
「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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgekz82fSs
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OIp2GliFn
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL7wREt2wC
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpZQjAscpm
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的？」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qMqIpKjgq
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vAez9DHDN
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLot0X7m4z
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBCY2INrML
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8PMF6aajc
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8biHfNIuH
「幫忙？」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8xjHJAHKj
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuQh9Hoxkg
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHt3dXRNQ9
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeHUUhUMKY
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBnLMK0eSa
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbxAdtdTY7
「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。」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15dza6IWyd
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebItnCmhTI
「可、可是......」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw0kJvHkia
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrvLeioCGH
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了，知道嗎？」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiqyMPs0KL
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLQzhvtpJA
「啊......喔......」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iftj2Ge0t
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlAO0FkBUP
莎薇沒有多說什麼，只是低下頭不發一語，踢了踢地面。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtvhtVaJmt
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp4cimTX8M
這孩子太安靜了，烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iByYh1jlZ
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAzNraBtxF
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFLpgZHXLy
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y8kCfPi0u
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！1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhF1wQgNvI
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1VKrN4yEC
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Pzm6ZsG9
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRElOPGxTA3
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到，自己何嘗不是如此呢？1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc3Rakeef8
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbfvHFjDSg
不行！1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i9Jxz5QYh
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbDkX9as0x
她搖了搖頭。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK7Th4udko
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEjVSkEI4e
我必須保護她，保護我最後的親生骨肉，人生中唯一的希望.....1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30SgKl2BuN
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iUbgAs5nK
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊？」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISXOE4zmep
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyTFdTLvAM
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74KWIR13O0
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgT0BqA5Ze
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkP63MV6Vl
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdK0l4YeKF
「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。」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQaytsbxYs
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6T96R3oF8
「這是真的嗎，莎薇？」烏爾莉卡問。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHyNcCSJcB
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cu7XaQBdj
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOoQrpkPNs
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1rG9B5YrA
「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。」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kQnNXTp6v
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtOrF4mbFK
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObXeMYOgdv
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBGQta0pqd
「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！」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkhTCWapI1
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5hNgPDTBn
「呃、咳哼，你知道就好！」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUSDOtd721
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvHhtacwWn
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xM3LYc8fn
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn2M1fbg8i
只不過，艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t9FVTxNOc
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uYZ7wmvlk
「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！」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVWJMenRTp
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS1xtn7ndN
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著？」烏爾莉卡問。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6buQMnMMx
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObsLqfBYez
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛，獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說：1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDffpstGhZU
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc4covSdpl
「俗話說，男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』：1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhMlYzzVKp
一位是他的母親，這是理所當然的。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf9c4e38LV
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugL08wjbkJ
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYs2CpxBdh
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！」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA1cUtXY8P
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK80rn7tgj
「妻子什麼的，別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCvdTiLCyJ
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnvTQm1S3w
「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......」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhdMfHQJS6
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRyeCXezk9
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sNmpL8qoD
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJALJIPJJd9
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraZ2rn1qW0
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGO62P1S3J
「莎薇，我們進房裡去。」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQowUq5GiEj
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t0IuMYNbu
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇，頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO5KFourjz
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswZuazLvbh
「我的女王，我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmg0Mcw4kq
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAztFzzJZa
「不需要！」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DQLgcV198
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoQZkez1Br
「我的女王，請稍等一下。」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAnAzYM6D0
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDnOaPPkjp
「又怎麼了？」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgv4D1P789
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiAjmuZUZD
「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？」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuPZ2UlfSH
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaUKnGyOwy
「職責......」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK3aNiFApq
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe7yHNtCSz
烏爾莉卡愣了一下，接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eJZk4tPS1
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhc6qmbYKi
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnn8txvSlM
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA1ZmFitJM
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了！」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nzdi9BIO4
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9vTk0tbNi
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O3NtEF1FP
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpqQSogmQZ
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft1o66loLL
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgL6A0Y8wj
「那我去準備一下，請先去房間等我！」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglFfiuvIe9
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3jRM1DytM
「嗯。」1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7CJ8OHiz4
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gOhsqODUG
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36q51cHKNF
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHsdSZsz5H
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！1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aQtXiwPBC
1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBXtb1KSmK
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。1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmDxCSh5y8
