「母......母親,妳在做什麼?」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmFGiqUsLXK
1041Please respect copyright.PENANARpVRYWjWua
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEOulqvmwGK
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAygKr5bUd7l
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhVpr0G9p0y
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7YvhNRC68T
烏爾莉卡當場丟下鬣狗少年,快步奔向小女孩身邊。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAN8nfUZsOlK
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPspLJuCjVl
「莎薇.西蒙納多蒂爾(Solveig Símonardóttir),妳剛才究竟跑去哪裡了?」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXIxNmyCmsy
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJBDiCxZtCw
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOiBREHWdUR
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAi374VWW1Ci
「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?」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAK9o5UlPDqz
1041Please respect copyright.PENANALDDmJSmhyj
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzobsIhryQt
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGGI0khjYOd
「我......我提了水過來.......」莎薇低著頭,支支吾吾道。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqOQNxNdduZ
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAulHY4nRJ10
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZTApv16nAI
1041Please respect copyright.PENANABpjreX6YTK
「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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvPZEd9nvk2
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAozSYATjBSI
「不是的......不是狗哥哥叫我做的......」莎薇解釋。1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6MGqFPF6nT
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfjWNcUKT74
「那是哪個壞傢伙命令妳做的?」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAkpNIanmTv7
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmYxjWr8JAl
她輕輕搖了搖頭。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAb76k6zcXey
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwB99eVr4ql
「我.....只是......想要幫上一點忙而已......」她說。1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7l8WAu00z1
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhAed8KlMdE
「幫忙?」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtcgIQAdcuz
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ3XLil0Kl
「因為我們已經再也回不了家鄉了......我想幫妳分擔些工作......」1041Please respect copyright.PENANA5OAjB8wawR
1041Please respect copyright.PENANANI62AhCHgK
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAe777XvbrJ5
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOMahHErfw5
「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。」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHl93QVzNMB
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAm6ga22qp4l
「可、可是......」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAoWJslXoB0Q
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAugeNw33l2A
「下次別再這樣擅作主張的亂跑了,知道嗎?」1041Please respect copyright.PENANALXpmwgtu9g
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWIeCzXp3cp
「啊......喔......」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAqryrlWd0ra
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwZik4cjSP7
莎薇沒有多說什麼,只是低下頭不發一語,踢了踢地面。1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2cUZjoW0MN
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmrTUP6cSbl
這孩子太安靜了,烏爾莉卡輕輕搖了搖頭。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAtIru93LvFF
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3LBTnu8XJ0
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAkQchc0Xxn6
1041Please respect copyright.PENANASmZtWgTIQP
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!1041Please respect copyright.PENANAK5EXxtcdSv
1041Please respect copyright.PENANADA7XyLgjuF
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ew94aK6kb
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAyNZ8ow7ksS
烏爾莉卡突然驚覺到,自己何嘗不是如此呢?1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbeo9KkNI0Q
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxNBHkp3jyC
不行!1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZZWU9C6YR
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdof9IbbOq1
她搖了搖頭。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUS8EDfz3oa
1041Please respect copyright.PENANARmbm2moeQm
我必須保護她,保護我最後的親生骨肉,人生中唯一的希望.....1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8Eb9dJHNNq
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAh8T00ERjE8
「痛痛痛痛......為什麼我會這麼慘啊?」1041Please respect copyright.PENANADhcbqrrobY
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjo0cd8E9ZG
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAudeOViklKE
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJ42B6laFPq
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJKhqNcduRI
1041Please respect copyright.PENANALuwIj1O3oX
「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。」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJoCOZM1FL8
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmrziU0Iu6x
「這是真的嗎,莎薇?」烏爾莉卡問。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAv0P1sq6tJs
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAn1l5r6CsoY
莎薇輕輕點了點頭。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAljbU9U3Dz6
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAkKyDG3eOl6
「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。」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYVK7jxWUNM
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQdSGTC7cS5
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAemLaw4CNdX
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfiWqe83f4R
「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!」1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8QbpMn6cPa
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvWv9e4hojA
「呃、咳哼,你知道就好!」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAo0WAh3hp4i
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjx6sXFeai4
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmAKOEhwXeL
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPYMj6v1ZYB
只不過,艾塔奇的下一句話卻讓她當場愣住。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvglHDR5zYw
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIvSsub3Xa4
「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!」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmcBJtI5hNY
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVCBzIf7aBd
「女王什麼的......你到底對這個稱呼有多執著?」烏爾莉卡問。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAl0nWgaEfmL
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAum6JcqCMO9
這時艾塔奇挺起胸膛,獸耳與獸尾都翹得老高。他說:1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0kv93kMm7F
1041Please respect copyright.PENANABSIY89Q5nI
「俗話說,男性斑點鬣狗的一生當中有三位『女王』:1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjnKOJhrmKQ
一位是他的母親,這是理所當然的。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKzsmT5MvVG
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAazjbDBozM0
一位則是他親愛的妻子。1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3U5IqJeEeR
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!」1041Please respect copyright.PENANACd5sxxI8X5
1041Please respect copyright.PENANArSoH8lxIOx
「妻子什麼的,別隨便說出口。」烏爾莉卡撇過頭去。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOwuHm1Lq2d
1041Please respect copyright.PENANApgZoG2el1Y
「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......」1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7xvGwrXQzp
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjpLJtnYB0X
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcTBp2x6x7i
1041Please respect copyright.PENANARaIEWi02sL
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVfT0s63YqH
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvBNVp6Yf0J
「莎薇,我們進房裡去。」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAh4bsF5xYk
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1U0mAE9CL5
烏爾莉卡牽起莎薇,頭也不回往屋內的方向走去。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwKAOnfzNO4
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAovx5Zv5Pd
「我的女王,我拿一件新的衣服給您。」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAm8UgzMeubN
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAa3HBYz4xQF
「不需要!」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAkuLz6JgriD
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAylc3bK0wOK
「我的女王,請稍等一下。」1041Please respect copyright.PENANACWyYnrwr3L
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAHk8yVrdl2
「又怎麼了?」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAhmLBTRbK5A
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAui7UZcoJyE
「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?」1041Please respect copyright.PENANADEyT6cxRcL
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfiQqA0lWdX
「職責......」1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7uWCID842W
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvwjozwIcl7
烏爾莉卡愣了一下,接著像是意識到什麼似的撇過頭去。1041Please respect copyright.PENANACg5p1gl9qd
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAX4Pko6DRKO
「現在還是大白天......」她盡可能以冷靜的態度推辭。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUfdDvmC6Ud
1041Please respect copyright.PENANACwcslXPafJ
「我已經耐著性子忍很久了!」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAn43UnkGukw
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQxbzn89VYG
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANA0eR3VmsDOk
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcCPiSIpUnz
「......我懂了。」烏爾莉卡嘆口氣。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjWJl9sKuKq
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwPsRi7hnBl
「那我去準備一下,請先去房間等我!」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFqOjql15Tl
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAWUhHHBb0gV
「嗯。」1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGgpgNWQpIk
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAw1u3HUbPIu
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANA5gwrHvJwcZ
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvWM95is4DR
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!1041Please respect copyright.PENANAaM1nNva50h
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQXAAZdNhy8
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。1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmlJIonDLjW
