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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Y4eb4vxw
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfhlpElISH
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20lWlvQIrE
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzflQocnX2V
「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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbuWK0Krp9
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMZz8nctJc
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRTrJJ7zRa
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNAqrrj6zP
當然……精靈族也不例外。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUy4nIyEqi
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoghV0T9rW
轟隆！206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqHAap2wgV
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLItcjStdDk
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuzSJv2TZG
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr6CLAQYJj
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1aI6Ej0RL
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnryDuZsnQ
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzyLvuSdHn
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U8n05LvIf
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYFJXr02tt
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX8JxUdWp0
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztSZqzgLYR
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ069K7r7P89
她以為她已經忘了。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXxbBc3YDt
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1miM57lE18
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj5tSmYpNB
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU28Tgl2yn
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5D0AMlvnR
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIn1b30QAu
可過去經歷的場景每日每夜、不厭其煩地造訪伊德里爾。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwmV6JfwHz
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FxQk6L9p6
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxi9gTdT4p
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnzw30HI74
「絕不能重蹈覆轍，我一定要守護好王國。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuqt2GW1bs
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS0c9NHoXQ
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSisqGIiJxH
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL911DckwXj
咿呀……206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAjd2R8hhb
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9NFJvDYTw
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9WaTG8jdK
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZHtyY1qAa
「是誰？」伊德里爾連忙將被子撫平，將它覆蓋於腰上。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDFsChedyN
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiPvShAaRI
片刻，從暗處緩緩現身的是──端著熱茶的阿特里奇。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1cBezGtua
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFgbC22A0o
「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。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciTZ40DmPH
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqN5D9eAWP
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gmdB4SdfN
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp7q6cBFJe
不過從白瓷茶杯飄散出來的薰衣草香可知──她失敗了。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pwIcOxcOP
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1VgVf4Up3
「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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9aAHgTPKZ
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCuJKtEHfj
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iARizHtpf
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD70VmND4W
「怎麼了？」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lntXabJb3
「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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO5zIdtcXs
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU46sIrO5jB
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……」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8FKQvg0Ew
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV43aYDmQjE
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwqjm2C9zg
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYFENPtvkE
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeR1TBrOQz
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UHBtaOiJ6
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci0E1481O6
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3PzsyQYlm
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。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcx9kXS1mF
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXzgbLLmUU
阿特里奇輕點頭，正想取回茶杯時──206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyGpNteGV5
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPCAWWofLJ
轟隆！206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1u2HXcQ1g
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuVUNCbh6J
又是一聲足以驚天動地的雷響，雨也更大了。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe81Z7RllJB
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwESVYjBWc
「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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZoJaJMTme
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAr6OMlbUS
阿特里奇將茶杯擺回茶碟，立馬問道：「您沒事？」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwOHsEs8SE
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cPPgvTeZa
「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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1oizPpmXU
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJF5vNRwl1
「您害怕打雷？」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tfO4hmT4t
「……才沒有。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyEZyuIuHh
「您在發抖。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9RaICSDsx
「只、只是被嚇到了……！」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUGL3zLQbg
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnSPUYWlDB
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxrlrtaRuM
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPzANaHn8J
「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？」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1JvM8SdLj
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBp4PIWsGu
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadayMoDFiC
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNFN2y0ELI
「……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……」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7aJQQJIdO
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xgvZnwxCu
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoLhBpmK6j
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHiQGwkusv
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPB0gdKwo2
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOoXvSuRzc
「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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt4OO40HeL
「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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7znllD9nL
「這是我第一次這麼做……應該沒有弄痛您才是。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr3czqq8yW
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLWVgiva5O
「噗……哈哈……！」伊德里爾掩住嘴笑著，眼角甚至冒出了些許淚水。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK2SZyIE1l
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBscELzDxWA
「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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNTyyDGNnp
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWaLCUWGlU
「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。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0wA1Ah5KE
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3PVKOZs0s
「能替您消除壓力那當然是最好，那麼我先回房……」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTG2Id4xgR
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN3PFrVwvo
「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？」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR0P7LW3L1
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydK6PThlFd
「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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bP02RFDmB
「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。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIT3xmfHzQ
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUE5jSAh4j
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？」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWQvmkhlQq
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYvvgTdfr0
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjOlGNP9Le
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhsm1tRCuz
「……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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1TeJohFRi
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。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcQyW4yAuI
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d7WHIg1Kj
「我會待在這裡、待在您身旁，直到您安心入眠為止。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8WTglKymx
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE0JCYRkMH
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyp5sJkY7e
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFInYNooS1
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。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6zKgtr5Im
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtSFOeSEQ2
那日，是伊德里爾有史以來睡得最安穩的一天。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LUQt1XJbz
