南極皇都到希臘官邸的航班，金度‧金恩‧艾因里希非常享受。帝國高層會議結束，他帶回不少名望，還有自我啟發。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj50F1iBpkS

「父親大人，辛苦了。」布麗姬特按照禮數，再次出宮到停機坪迎接。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRzmoo2cdJ
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmesqhnEu97
「妳怎麼一個人過來？麥西米利恩呢？」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcYe9iDL5J

「好吧，希望安逸生活不會害他鈍掉。」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFgmdlmS3d
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5rDlHbIYN
金度牽起女兒的手走進廳堂，行為舉止格外親切，但他額頭上的傷疤，讓布麗姬特感到擔憂。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEndGhYXdv
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFQZQS75hj
「您身體還好嗎？要不要休息一下？」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6gJuwtatA
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8qXeJZaiF
「哦？沒事沒事，打仗嘛，難免受點傷，一切都有回報的……」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8ZYEkjX5V
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlImWkId0PD
老將軍神采煥發，迫不及待地說出好消息，「跟妳說，爸爸要升遷了！我能分到火星，妳會變成老家的公主……更重要的是，我會有更多時間陪妳。」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsJFWlKViF
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenGWfpfHwF
「真的嗎……太好了，終於……」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgZmoARWUv
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxo7hD1EML
布麗姬特擁抱父親、喜極而泣。上次離別之前，那副憂心忡忡的蒼老面容，她終於能夠忘懷。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3srYos7Z0
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh70BznyQt4
「原諒我……埋首工作，都沒注意到妳已經……長這麼大了……」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQOd3NB6VG
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDx6suiSCs
摟住女兒的腰，金度輕聲細語道：「上次我有沒有交給妳……什麼東西？代為保管？撞到頭，害我有點失憶呢……」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAdaEudi9V
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb57eIN714
「嗯？有啊，那個小儲存碟……」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDpNstXCKw
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP2EgV6Hfi
不要相信任何人。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj09Cif5jgH
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs4bAKVKYL
沉重告誡閃過布麗姬特腦海。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKSjuqmj1i
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3DKA2IntN
身上游移的手掌讓她十分不自在。父親的瞳孔深處，竟然有一股陌生氣息。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL7amvLRpn
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowgLorQiF7
「小儲存碟？在哪裡？」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvrGJckmnq

「拿給我，我需要⸺現在！」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRYKSim416
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKvnpDenix
吼聲在宮中迴響。金度發現女兒驚恐的神情，一改咄咄逼人的態度。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0VmwKxOEk
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOPFbOpIRh
「噢，抱歉，親愛的……可以把它還給我嗎？裡面有很重要的東西。」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF6aale8om

「是……父親，我這就回寢室找找……」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhIqoFQ5hr
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnXMbrPZFd
雙手緊握裙襬，快步跑過長廊、走上階梯。千金公主喘著大氣、鎖緊房門。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvzRguK7eT
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rbYJawGP7
鳥兒鳴叫，日光依舊。她慢慢低下頭，從鑰匙孔向外看去。剛才那些，應該只是錯覺而已。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYz18DnHsd
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAUJjAcWfR
一片黑，什麼都看不見。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcsYVMJOlw
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6UtobnUeb
她這才發現，被稱為父親的男人緊貼在門外，準備彎腰窺視進來。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mErosKG8m
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEsJFiJ3Pa
「嗚……」布麗姬特擋住嘴巴，往牆邊跌去。幸好絨毛地毯吸收聲音，讓她能偷偷從死角爬到陽台。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkKhfeql3g
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zV60pNTVf
「不、不要……」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9qYWOTMU9
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWvjIaYDET
聽到門把粗暴亂轉，貴族之女掏出藏在胸口的儲存裝置，強忍淚水接受現狀，「爸爸出事了……這裡不能待，要想辦法逃出去。」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQiVDrvArB
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr2njYWl8o
海風刺痛手指，布麗姬特緊緊抓住外牆浮雕，一邊聽著漸漸增多的腳步聲，一邊攀下地面。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3WM45GqaC
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnJeZN2NpX
脫掉高跟鞋、壓抑恐懼，她小心翼翼避開巡邏衛兵，成功進入樹林。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQovDdstjJ
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMjihNqrdn
「快逃、快逃……」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6EwhAS9ex
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEDzcjYpDx
但是，又能逃去哪？沒了家室，她要怎麼活下去？542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA0oA52OQH
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqTRnP9yn6
閃過眼角的樹幹就像不懷好意的人群，不斷打擊她的意志，直到她體力透支、跌倒在地。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ4DHvkQBg
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X7mvjvPZ2
強忍淚水狼狽起身，落葉被踩碎的聲音從布麗姬特前方傳來。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36HHXglCSx
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7FfP0vKM2
「誰……騎士大人？」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSUS4hF0SB
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonY1HYPgxf
身穿長袍軍裝，臉上有改造紋路的武將伸出援手，扶著主公的女兒躲進草叢。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qXFLpKh48
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKVXVXjFgn
「麥西，父親表現很奇怪，我們要找人幫忙！」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzHNPrOCW5
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJi6DkwZjz
「在下明白……金度將軍給了命令，萬分抱歉。」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFHpzFg7T8

「麥西米利恩，難道你也……」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEWUosW8io
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIeegdNsZI
落難公主心底一涼，還沒反應過來就被重擊後頸、失去意識。漸漸模糊的視線中，是充滿悔意的男人神情。
思念與夢境，帶著女子回到故鄉。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcKs67GPCM
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvPNcEjC7G
火星表面經過千年改造，已經像極了地球，不同的是，那裡海水顏色偏紅。布麗姬特很久沒看到老家，但總是會夢到同一個場景。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ7bVl1sHW
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaJs5Nc0EX
安寧病房窗外是紅色汪洋，母親嚥下最後一口氣。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2JXNRGRGs
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRWXv2fot9
金度的妻子比夫君更「不像貴族」。她堅持靠自己的力量與病魔搏鬥，不接受複製人器官移植。雖然成功生下一女，但還是難逃命運魔爪。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HEKLThlRt
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwM16BRxr1

回憶中的父親輕撫自己頭頂，母親的遺容充滿安詳。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVpPpybtHM

「她把生命交給妳，所以妳要堅強……任何人、任何事物都沒辦法傷害妳，因為妳有她的祝福，還有我的愛。」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy6Lm2FEf5

「爸爸！」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbKtB2OMjT
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCmxVhbuhX
布麗姬特睜開眼睛，發現自己被安全帶繫在船艦駕駛座，旁邊正是打暈她的騎士。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuOF6DajN5
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD8bHqdSRu
「麥西米利恩‧羅威‧邁爾，你竟敢……」落難公主拔出臂環內藏小刀，抵住背叛者的脖子。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v6DJTN9m9
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcYMnWbT3N
沒有回應，也沒有辯解。布麗姬特仔細一看，發現騎士冒著冷汗，一手操縱面板，另一手緊壓腹部，長袍被血跡染紅。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwEtaTS6tl
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF56wOzucQ9
「大小姐，我願接受任何懲罰，但必須等我們成功脫逃……」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsSN2WLrqr
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAzN4QkrsZ
「你……為什麼……」布麗姬特收起小刀幫忙止血，試著整理混亂思緒，「到底怎麼回事？我們在哪？」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOPHMieuRG
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm87OlMKxhx
「金度將軍下令將您活捉，甚至要進行拷問，那完全不像他，在下……違反軍紀，把您帶到這艘運輸船，不小心中槍。」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D0lVVyM2k
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1kXkeq8TF
「父親果然……可是，要逃到哪呢……」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTv7mHZYYh
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZRzRs56nu
麥西米利恩推動油門，艙內顛簸加劇，「我的計畫是……突破大氣層，換乘機體甩開追兵，尋求庇護……」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEGqIia88j
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMkBGKXrrk
閃光與震動逐漸停止，太空梭飛出地球，迎接它的，是數萬顆攻擊衛星組成的防禦陣列。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7PeiQVphg
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUAVaTXyhD
濃密雷射交織亂舞，瞬間把船身大卸八塊。煙塵與碎片之中，一架機械半人馬浴火出擊。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wfTFyz5P7
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zYtzfQEMd
四足推進器猛踏真空；雙手握槍殺出重圍。侍衛武將專用機「山杜爾‧弓騎」且戰且走，披肩裝飾燒毀也無妨，因為繡在上頭的帝國旗幟，它已經不再效忠。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazMDPlvg5v
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHTZ0LBwvK
「大小姐，請您忍耐！」542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDhfaWJlfa
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr7ZekGnjz
人馬機兵只有單一座位，騎士雙手緊抱公主減緩衝擊，同時透過神經連結裝置進行戰鬥。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4gZBH3ACo
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN0xzdBthN
山杜爾左右閃避，展開槍柄上的柺刃，同時對應不同距離的威脅。但，攻擊衛星怎麼殺都殺不完，載著追兵的船隻也進入宇宙空間。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98KtVslb0A

布麗姬特看到螢幕上的警報，得知她們走頭無路。就要放棄希望時，突然感到環抱身體的手臂更加緊縮。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv8DV7hAW8
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA6IlTwl2r
無數流星群當前，半人馬沒有退縮，而是把雙槍互相結合，全速衝進死亡風暴。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn7TActbQO

542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOZI2J5cOF
強烈光束在風暴中轟出一個大洞，正好讓山杜爾進入。大量碎塊因此改變軌道，開始往地球落下，攻擊衛星只好轉頭執行原本工作，擊落威脅皇都的隕石。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPYVdcZFWm
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2X7UaZ5bZ
帝國追兵也被迫停止前進，因為衝進月球殘骸根本是自殺行為。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiduwPbCgB2

人馬機兵在天昏地暗的亂塵中閃躲、跳躍。G力不斷拉扯布麗姬特全身，她終究還是支撐不住、再次暈厥。最後映入眼簾的，是騎士的全心全靈，還有通訊螢幕上的求助對象⸺和平重工。
公主與騎士成為不確定因素。同時間，木星圈也出了一位逃家貴族。他帶走的不是小小磁碟，而是大半數宇宙艦隊。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Hjy5UVGt

親后派份子被關進運輸艇，運回木衛四。元帥只留下少數守軍，因為有纏結通訊裝置，離開家園也能隨時掌握狀況。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtDig8LUY5
542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6SErruAyD
萬事俱備，本應充滿信心的他，卻被母親的最後一席話搞得五味雜陳。542Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUyRT62mmH

集結的新月、蠢動的帝國與重工。各方勢力角逐天下，外環抗軍仍蟄伏在太陽系邊境。他們能否成為燎原星火？一切都得在土星戰役見真章。
