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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMqoLsuy6L
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaSmnqS8jE
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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7tTXasfHu
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxH9lVTv9J
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42vmLZeU2w
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbEARCWciP
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRALAepPuS
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk10BlRYxUO
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？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8Vj3JFETN
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGLHC3TCTx
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4NCLFm2AH
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqzBga7knR
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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6niXLswLEG
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKhwuKOOWY
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAjzetlNxb
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlAgbe3lfF
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDBoel0CUR
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAb6zxdhEV
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVFWntBBpn
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRAocUUsJC
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnXJ3a7KEI
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyWoePVcrI
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqpSDJ4v2v
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U1gJnJt0j
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGryCzRFDOt
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14rN22TwqR
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk9PPdgGjY
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq0Mx5y2Ko
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W74pk1nEp
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TrFCstVtj
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneO0uQOHQa
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXORZf3Gig
「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。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoqn8Ue9gi
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SIKm7dkME
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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPiwSR79kP
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwW5pS7sNy
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhmrTqD3xk
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmyfhPi62W
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu6LBq3lRA
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV0mC55hF6
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh5o9zm0Aw
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEwD5FIZJd
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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P83H2ki3L
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjLWdPKFfT
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiS6NpMpF4
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoRZAV7gCq
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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Macg6W6c0
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx1RC84Ngk
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1FJhM8hvG
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC4ZQelIjp
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48yBOnSYSn
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbHrPoswuW
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQIBKtTwUB
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqTZ9oKp76
「沒錯。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrglwia8Rb
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmBRlJQ8TB
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIKbdgw4C5
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaencTfjdX6
「遵命，女皇陛下。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iUDyE3jFh
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNig9rxvyu4
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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOwBvXiDb0
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyyoIjKxyb
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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWqCqB0eO4
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekeZlpskd5
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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbJGUCohyz
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOBohHdC80
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuUuUdJX3S
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAekGpMBn5
「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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNMvmhgBxa
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfojUXxjp1R
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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3fdIEwPZa
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcGcD9oVz4
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc0MtkaxlJ
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。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdjGLGlKB4
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIALTxMsHKf
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGVDWCA2R0
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ONp8mnaVD
「甚麼事？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AR2UV2CEp
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb3FgBJkl4
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4wG2E963O
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3G2HSiir3
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？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jgqO7Yles
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHVT7bQvho
「女皇陛下英明。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HnaGRlkMI
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftt19cPfna
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz4C9FMF3o
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJgkg74FeY
「細作？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPWE3kH6fW
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsWcBCZPJz
「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。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAChW7yoAmC
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCiC0bTaOZ
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LF95bNc1N
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaBP67aAR5
「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。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdyvoBvNVa
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFQq6iBrpT
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydLx7mLL6u
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRcBhiGJC8
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。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4skdvXkxa
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWMR1LagNB
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ngZpP6Oz
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvQX1RHzNp
「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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzEbjxyf3r
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXA9iipo5S
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzpXVHzolh
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcGffTtfnw
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ZNiCF42L
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDmQdH2aFg
「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。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2pcKLLn5u
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXGA13T571
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9ohOUUUhj
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9jfT0oIfm
「暗影守衛團的四人。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eHWu5rphO
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhZusAjXzR
「利華特呢？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B9dXfrBai
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJjPWW9oGk
「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？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS88W16ywP
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0orsE4Ido
「明白。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbUWtE4fSN
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzzv0DbreU
「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。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixQC8VHsin
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAcz322AsV
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M4ndYt64g
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrH4NLVuOY
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlntHCfBdq
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpISzItUgYt
「不用審問嗎？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQESIENHpWa
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk04P61w0J7
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVmkkUJ9ju
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04bCOMM26M
「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。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFjY2ZCboo
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dcP1qPP8Z
「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。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiunRGpd2W
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbkECmc8yv
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOK7WreUvV
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57K9QYWgpj
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHsounbXNS
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC6Rgn6nLw
「遵命。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLNTiUAntW
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTftl0jlfI
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yc80zcUyY
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH3LRHoFOy
「為甚麼？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKYZSO55jD
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmXbTfUQ52
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6oY1nrCIW
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYyC3SKgVm
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hEx11xiCN
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjmXnhGVYE
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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPL2Jkijah
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkZjUIGciV
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。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhZWuEXVaX
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KtUTLsaQB
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkACXrDNRh
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss1UOUHKVs
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。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVmu2Dlg77
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBfyCJujqj
「之後呢？」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWom8CPAwhO
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF4gWhsd9g
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkhN94Vv6j
