另一方面，沙卡美不知為何回到過去，回到她十歲左右的時光。她綁著馬尾，穿著橙黃色舞裙在人來人往的宴會中穿梭。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLujJqBZSU
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkOoRYjhui
宴會裏聚集了許多名門貴族，他們受國王邀請大吃大喝，心裏都怕酒裏下了毒。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4OLjztHDs
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdV62xYeQV
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdknyNJAMfD
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9TQLKfiAN
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9j1B07ZRI
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvfIYgDBZA
圍著放滿佳餚圓桌，臉看不清的老人轉身看著沙卡美：「哎喲！這不是沙卡美公主嗎？公主殿下要去哪裏？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMkItz2sZi
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ4kpMMN8t
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaFjcMfVwN
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo34iJ9bed
正當沙卡美想問老人有沒有頭緒時，一隻粗糙的手放在她肩膀上。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMevc0Dkg7k
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyjpA9XnWf
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGTErnevXf
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11EAEwmSCr
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZbmEjXyMU
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCQnsyv7ki
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRceHu5td6
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb734zkyO4y
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Ww1dItt9
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3pKh6PI2N
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZylyQ9EoR
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx82aoMDpW5
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUOIoi7tyR
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BjDd6MQST
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJIlJUqd9P
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP4p9mKaO1
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA6dUO2aW5
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFptpfUJlFB
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oJpObjsnu
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsWh7jedyT
「不是叫妳不必多言嗎？」國王走出王宮陽台：「我的女兒啊，那裏的人都不是真心尊敬我和妳，他們只是怕得罪我而人頭落地。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg12Qo6sOh
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOy3UcyJHF
陽台外的景色被一層白霧擋住，沙卡美也看不見父王的雙眼。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwsDudnEX7
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafle9cSfPH
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbwjdYa36K
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIuXjNYKqo
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvQTlHzNVI
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGdGueWcwU
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDQxnF64nF
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9zODcXbut
貝吏刻唐在床邊觀察她微苦的臉龐，有點於心不忍。
但為了不打擾沙卡美休息，他背靠牆邊靜候沙卡美醒來。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneo2ZGGyNe
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jMJer6OCJ
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGq8O9Vcfg
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA4oz9ry1i
沙卡美自己也覺得很矛盾，明明想人民生活美滿，卻一直包庇無惡不作的父王，父王駕崩後又困在陰霾當中。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe98XuoKJXF
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdcEPq6u6a
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCiRe8uwC7
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sOQy7VH9I
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaYaLoNuYN
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sTz71SqNM
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbxB081JUu
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmAId4WfqH
「沒錯。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxGqKrBmEO
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrFRYPMFnl
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8NVfG0M2m
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF5IIfazE3
「遵命，女皇陛下。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPvZBahftU
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk61Gd83Yv
貝吏刻唐和小娜都不明白為何沙卡美會被「某種東西」佔據，仍然能正常運用魔力。黑色魔力明明會令人神智崩潰，但沙卡美除了行事作風改變外都很正常。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcERMa3w6zW
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQSsF3jrPG
感覺女皇不再是公主的貝吏刻唐，待沙卡美梳洗後伴隨她到飯廳。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzhWAgBPiq
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiteIkxwVN
皇宮裏的官員、僕人等等昨天已知悉女皇被尋獲的消息，昨天在外冒雨拜訪人民的士兵和軍官們可能有私下跟平民們說。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuf1DstXQN
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JsC46pqN6
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTeQSWhA6I
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfAj9GyLR4
「雞胸肉、麵包、蘋果和牛奶，朕很久也沒有吃過如此豐富的早膳了。」沙卡美拿起刀叉。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nhTTyGMGz
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnAW57s2ql
貝吏刻唐坐在她對面一起用膳，雖說食不言是基本禮儀，但貝吏刻唐有些話想問沙卡美。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToV7njn0ux
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ1uDcDIMZ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOMflqAB3m
剛要喝口牛奶的沙卡美聽見他發問，溫和地收手：「貝弟弟，早膳時間不應該說話。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptt31qpSjF
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t1Puq1brK
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOJy9B5KmS
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MdFzJ58eB
「甚麼事？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGosL1nEAIQ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6q9cQZloF
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTwRb1tSuQ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8L2cqFr7u
沙卡美揮手示意女僕和守衛離開，待房間只剩他和貝吏刻唐後回應：「貝弟弟想問的是朕想暪著所有人做甚麼吧？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoETNJGIo2
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0cGpdoDMj
「女皇陛下英明。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u0UL9qpuY
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuFT2CZlZc
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJt7LPKFek
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnCKskVhoG
「細作？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizMvN3i3Pa
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWm6xq0YxT
「沒錯。約一年半前，朕去山多牧場時不是被伏擊了嗎？朕問過斯斯，她說那羣刺客的確是聯邦派遣的，但得知朕會在那個時候經過該處的情報來源不明。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9tYM9uvjk
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGDOKOy6J0
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OEpAfqrIf
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhxapgCU44
「當時朕還在學如何當一個好皇帝，沒有時間處理，朕只告訴了利華特。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCeVieWgen
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb38kSK0f2
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTJUqgnZ9M
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwKC7QWCOH
沙卡美舉起杯喝了一口牛奶：「朕去山多牧場一事朕只有向數個人說過，他們都跟隨朕一段時間，甚麼時候處理都已經太遲。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq87WwIXB2n
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DeO6s1MxY
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFGZnQswzA
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNc3CaaSUu
「塔瑪、歐法、迪斯普、哈芙、小娜、利華特、我。」具吏刻唐慎重地說出這七個名字。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCfPN91ZeH
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ulZ1pZEWd
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDbQ7oruWR
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4b7SGkaPN
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAj66QJhEF
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdCWk8hyF1
「不是。雖然你們是當時唯二不在場的人，你們也不會蠢到背叛朕。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNaB6umf58
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeAj9d4dI8
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrMaVtI2jj
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwFH3gbSQU
「暗影守衛團的四人。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1OZSUGpHt
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNj9C1Yxqe
「利華特呢？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumtPWUp98k
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeDMJUd27F
「利華特沒有背叛朕的理由。他是異世界人，當時的他怎會認為與帝國為敵是好選擇？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBpJlk0n4H
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHtLWiFt1h
「明白。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uwPvib6j4
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGySJxA3a1
「因此，貝弟弟，朕希望你去找他們談談，政務朕會自行處理。找出細作後就地處決。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuxpn2VHvo
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09p1tEiTWN
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkT5AId4XU
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u796kwJ9G
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBACTVfLsQm
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJJZOwVgIT
「不用審問嗎？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLph6aa6hX
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo5JWB6lVB
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg5G9wqfjQ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY1pziJRiq
「不是。我只是擔心如此強硬的手法會在那時候遭到另外三人強烈反對，他們現在都有魔力。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh6gT58UaD
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxXjxmVvw0
「他們現在也殺不了朕，所以朕現在才想找出叛國賊。貝弟弟，這個任務不要跟小娜說。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXllwE27MNg
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmIUbVlcpH
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzODd0XOAeR
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgKCwFSPBC
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbcNu2QBJc
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxnRcwyyza
「遵命。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs7dhR5tQ0
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWsjHrtjGZ
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVenGkrM5SF
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO23tkdD6I
「為甚麼？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt43kgOHq8J
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89ofazhpcr
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk9RUd7GIt
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt95HMvNIXd
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVOZS5WRDk
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzYIfjTAZg
先前因曼賈襲擊造成的損害已經由小娜用魔法修補，大臣們都能站在兩旁等候上奏。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp6Ue35x2H
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqMBVJtQfd
大臣們都用恐懼的眼神看著沙卡美，他們總覺得她與「失蹤」之前是截然不同的人。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz4LRO8tzm
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdBL5PU01E
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoMP6vi1sJ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzBtosdNde
一位站在最前列，年邁的大臣走到台階前方彎腰：「女皇陛下，小人先抒發自己對女重陛下歸來的欣喜。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0yH5Pp8pz
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwGnrqYezj
「之後呢？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ922kS62f7E
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAsuCnVn4V
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjn1kkQjXe
