暴雨伴隨著夜幕降臨王國已經有十來日了。雷聲與閃電不甘示弱，一聲聲雷鳴讓人震耳欲聾。如水晶般透徹的雨珠大滴大滴地砸向玻璃窗，狂風在外頭咆哮，彷彿下一秒便能將窗戶擊個粉碎。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta2jAk9njv

伊德里爾的寢宮裡僅有的光源只剩床頭櫃的上的圓形檯燈，米黃色的微光默默奉獻著它的光芒。除了照亮平常睡覺的那一側外，其餘的地方全像是被刷上了黑色油漆，無法看清。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJwHzslA18
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI88NWihRQ
「哈啊……」伊德里爾換完白色連身裙睡衣，坐在梳妝台前將置於胸前的髪辮解開，隨後走向窗台把窗簾唰的一聲拉上。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Um3CUPhS
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETWNBJMNJO
恐懼──是與生俱來的一種心理反應，並且在人類的七情六欲中佔有一席之地。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMnnNCiHuB
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxR3oCCnG3
當然……精靈族也不例外。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJW9wfD3G3

轟隆！250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjcz2jEWpb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Pbps08AT
一道閃電劃破了夜色帷幕，光亮轉瞬即逝。而炸雷的聲響卻嚇得伊德里爾如膽小的老鼠般竄進厚重的被子裡。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgET98DymV
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrbfE8NCjV
在被窩的保護之下，伊德里爾能減少雷聲對自己的傷害。雖然精靈的尖耳相較於人類更為靈敏，但也十分脆弱。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Gb3nz6Un
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8MKzmZCTB
伊德里爾將被子牢牢裹住自己，只露出一顆頭再度朝窗戶的方向看去。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKEba3ALmH
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRyovzBvkr
似曾相似的情景在伊德里爾的腦中浮現──猛烈的大雨、響徹雲霄的轟雷、混亂的步伐、刺耳的金屬碰撞聲。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WYfn6Wu8Z
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHviyj1zzEB
伊德里爾用顫抖的雙手摀住兩耳，弓起腿，將整張臉埋進了雙腿間。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡala0keyFlB
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrGQDiQW20
她以為她已經忘了。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHprw4yt5Jh
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8Cbpcq0PL
長壽對她來說如同攀附在全身的荊棘，而記憶就像是荊棘上的刺，兩者的共同點是──伊德里爾都沒辦法輕易擺脫。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y3b1QUeRN
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O1HOJ8w8X
好不容易找到了自己的容身之處，是一個和出生地相似、和平又幸福的國家。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs8lYQ9VDp
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ067tGjET74
可過去經歷的場景每日每夜、不厭其煩地造訪伊德里爾。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTUGdlB3fV
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFrR9X0msk
曾經侍奉過最終卻毀滅的王國在夢裡化作一場戲無止境地再演，夢魘伸出無數隻手將她束縛在前排的位子，令無法動彈的伊德里爾痛不欲生。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD7H21vjWB
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3fHWiDOE6
「絕不能重蹈覆轍，我一定要守護好王國。」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7qOYKEagE
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxiNiVoieI
這句話是在伊德里爾成為王國的祭司之前，於心中發過的誓言。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDTCspMecm
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi47XLBVSl
咿呀……250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAyC4Zv8wP
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeiwDBAzGt
伊德里爾的耳朵抽動了一下，聽見似乎有人悄悄地推開了大門。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokTKeMlWHn
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRopr3zboLe
「是誰？」伊德里爾連忙將被子撫平，將它覆蓋於腰上。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrPK8rBurH
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB9MxhBfYt
片刻，從暗處緩緩現身的是──端著熱茶的阿特里奇。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVQOqYuIWH
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XEaT6lsSq
「打擾您休息十分抱歉。」阿特里奇將托盤輕放於床頭櫃上。「王后殿下要我替您送來。」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYwIMrYpaz
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfONNrlGdBD
伊德里爾眼底閃過一絲驚訝。她以為在今早的茶會上，自己已經成功瞞過王后殿下連續好幾天徹夜未眠的事情。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62Yv52OmfR
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XQKNv1Puq
不過從白瓷茶杯飄散出來的薰衣草香可知──她失敗了。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fyu1GtG3o
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUXlHOsM2e
「代我向王后殿下道謝。還有，也謝謝妳。」伊德里爾偏頭，給了阿特里奇一個欣慰的笑容。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmhAIzYIpn
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92sx0jJRC7
阿特里奇頜首，不過卻沒有立即離開的意思，赤瞳仍然直勾勾地盯著伊德里爾。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjbGCunBRE
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyVxApyYY2
「怎麼了？」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIbbUlNe3q
「王后殿下要我親眼看著您把茶喝完。」阿特里奇將茶杯移到伊德里爾面前。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztumHN1IcZ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN07l5VGNs
伊德里爾一怔，兩手接過捧起茶杯，一邊噘嘴把熱煙吹散一邊嘟囔「我又不是小孩子……」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvUqLrtb5f
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2LKI9EIWg
鼻子湊近杯緣一聞，草香沿著鼻腔進入，散發著一股沁人心脾的芳香。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEgwzQ1ldH
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrobUDk7dYP
緊接著抬高杯緣緩緩飲下，杯中的液體輕輕地從咽喉滑入胃，讓伊德里爾緊繃的神經得以放鬆下來。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXPvryGxf3
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXjJD1kxmS
自接過茶杯後，阿特里奇的兩隻眼睛未曾離開過伊德里爾，像是耐心等候飼主下一步動作的小狗。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAYcamBLT9
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xAeyqAD47
伊德里爾把飲盡後的杯底展現給一旁站直的白色大型犬看。「喝完了。」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGxd3BNGB8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8zf6KqNrP
阿特里奇輕點頭，正想取回茶杯時──250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq4DGwkPCO
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlklqcUAsq
轟隆！250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BXrBxQ7ft
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoNCE5PuDK
又是一聲足以驚天動地的雷響，雨也更大了。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrRTB78Nlc
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOZSHOihPT
「嗚……」伊德里爾反射性把耳朵再次覆住，嚇得連白瓷茶杯也顧不得。正當要直落地面時，阿特里奇即時接住了。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNkVz2Wd3b
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzECd7dX1WP
阿特里奇將茶杯擺回茶碟，立馬問道：「您沒事？」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q975fulJy
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmECMOkvSmF
「我、我沒事……」與她說的話截然不同──伊德里爾緊閉雙眼，肩膀微微顫抖。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprgsYx5cnt
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD8oSo0AlE
「您害怕打雷？」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkJt3595iS
「……才沒有。」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGvxth1jjN
「您在發抖。」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl3agFVGbB
「只、只是被嚇到了……！」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFAQKqgCTP
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3oltXBkg5
出於維持形象以及想要趕緊驅散逐漸上浮的羞恥感，伊德里爾做出了與平常些微不同的應答。只不過阿特里奇不以為意。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWdFEXPf7V
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KZZrRL9P5
「擁有害怕的事物並不需要感到丟臉。」阿特里奇單膝跪地，仰望伊德里爾。「容我多嘴再問一遍，您沒事嗎？」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6nB856LMF
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsznK1FTE1
伊德里爾撐開眼皮，恰好對上了阿特里奇火紅的雙瞳，彷彿急迫地尋求問題的答案。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5xCKaB7I4
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdr80cXbOz
「……不。」伊德里爾隱藏在體內深處的字句撬開了唇逃了出來。「我……我很害怕……」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIS4WUUREx
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HtiGb6y5X
語畢，阿特里奇閉上眼像是在思考什麼，最後一邊說著「失禮了」一邊坐到伊德里爾左側。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNWTfiO1r1
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdyG8tstKI
隨後，阿特里奇有些肢體不協調地伸手穿過伊德里爾的腰際，輕輕擁住了她。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFcYtvKHim
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyxGnjKssX
「阿、阿特里奇……？」伊德里爾被這一系列的行為給愣住了，一時半會兒不敢輕舉妄動。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8TdU0K7Ly
「這是我聽公主殿下說最適合紓解壓力和情緒的方法。」阿特里奇小心翼翼地收回手。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8AvZ72hGR
「這是我第一次這麼做……應該沒有弄痛您才是。」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3CsahqWyL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz3R1ng7oj
「噗……哈哈……！」伊德里爾掩住嘴笑著，眼角甚至冒出了些許淚水。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqgU6PMEnO
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpmJIKgM5A
「伊德里爾大人？您在笑什麼？」阿特里奇面露疑惑，貌似對於伊德里爾越笑越高興感到不解。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs6FhtfmL0
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRc4KTtXks
「哈哈……呼──」伊德里爾長舒一口氣，用食指抹去眼淚。「謝謝妳阿特里奇，我感覺好多了。」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa3VrlL3nq
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasdIKr1rGH
「能替您消除壓力那當然是最好，那麼我先回房……」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYI0gx6gRy
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX21S43G5Lf
「等等。」伊德里爾握住正要站起的阿特里奇的手。「夜也深了，要不妳今天就在我這裡休息吧？」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCfP4QM1RI
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l1u067Yjs
「這個……」阿特里奇感覺被握著的手力道越來越大，而做出此舉的人笑意更深。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2TNIbdUZs
「我明白了。不過……」阿特里奇瞥了一眼梳妝台的木製椅子。「我睡在那就夠了。」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUngneGfPJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1O5QcuD7i
伊德里爾眉梢下垂，像是一隻惹人憐愛的小貓。「不睡床上嗎？待會可能還有雷聲唷？」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF5E9poPdV
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxUQ9Zg0ul
伊德里爾明白現在的狀況就像一位任性的小孩向母親索取想要的東西，只不過扮演母親的角色並不是自己，而是眼前撇頭不肯望向自己的白髮騎士。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VylLGt6Jh
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTHWWwomUU
「……您就別胡鬧了。」阿特里奇從伊德里爾的手上脫離掌控，將椅子拉近床邊後坐下。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA3Mm4DeOf
而後，阿特里奇又朝伊德里爾伸出右手。「請容我用這種方式代替擁抱陪著您。」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8rB5yF82R
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn215Vh4LLd
「我會待在這裡、待在您身旁，直到您安心入眠為止。」250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeKcLzWjFc
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOy37kHECq
伊德里爾眨了眨眼，並把手掌輕覆於阿特里奇的。挪動身子平躺於床舖，最後闔上雙眼。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK3iqJ2j5z
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RdvzTQ1wN
這份單純而直率的溫柔，任誰都不會想輕易放手的吧。伊德里爾在內心笑了笑。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOczCv7GVG
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X8FXBqEDw
​那日，是伊德里爾有史以來睡得最安穩的一天。250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr4BSVhK3u
