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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSzwfKKulx

「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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpgiGjisSw

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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HYUxVTT92
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZQMBRi91k
「您身體還好嗎？要不要休息一下？」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3LwE2dHVD

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。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5Z1Zer7SM

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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsBG0TKH73
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw0WuAQUzV
「原諒我……埋首工作，都沒注意到妳已經……長這麼大了……」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6wnL2OR0C
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ450XJfeCbZ
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……」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmRaNF4q65
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXaCSXmz7Q
「嗯？有啊，那個小儲存碟……」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6zVv88rHh
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBQG8I6OtL
不要相信任何人。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGMcthkv7s

沉重告誡閃過布麗姬特腦海。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KbiP3UL3x
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP620iTPt0
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmb6Aaz2Am
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBrKOrHdN5
「小儲存碟？在哪裡？」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUbZfrqS5g

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEygI6hSYV
「噢，抱歉，親愛的……可以把它還給我嗎？裡面有很重要的東西。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNeF484afZ

「是……父親，我這就回寢室找找……」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2BfUaXUDN
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvDZG0C6Gy
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOQAMgtQu4
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jHYwBsx50
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfgp5GBm9q
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkraDIxCyIf
一片黑，什麼都看不見。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4YDtRAKRK
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LkyAoK1Dz
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Pv3cKySp
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvdDlwPaM6
「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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEEiwkYvlr

「不、不要……」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy62loaFCyh

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。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQleOspifZ
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuzbAUcO7e
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJFKh581jH
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY5IFIQlg6
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHtfFJNIpd
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7QPqgLhZF
「快逃、快逃……」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sdQuWXTEo
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI82pVS4Wf
但是，又能逃去哪？沒了家室，她要怎麼活下去？483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpms5u3zhQz
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENqrUscuBG
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBHmkrTsJa
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsbKgblF6k
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIse07xXZp

「誰……騎士大人？」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2ynObmUU5
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ii2x7zXVS
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4wmyIVqMJ

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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREpe2Q5Szj
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jNqfKc3HF
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelTevCDjgy
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgGKDjeeY7
安寧病房窗外是紅色汪洋，母親嚥下最後一口氣。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iBk7riBS8
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntpoivOHrq
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVM620vN2U
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NMzPFpTE1

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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJuR3pc2N8
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetT7xFk6xo
「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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NyGeIj3xL
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zmOsgYc3b
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mBqRPOlbC
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKeR4GAuno
「大小姐，我願接受任何懲罰，但必須等我們成功脫逃……」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYGAGdSugm
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrJSemD270
「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？」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61IWaDo1qQ
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJjHST9XbP
「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。」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAhuz77Q5p
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHj1g6d24b

483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIJ8npy5dK
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……」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JYcbslZWB
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4csvgaSRh
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZc9RyUTrb
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K3Exrmdj7
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P4FBv9jXz
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOslYOSvKh
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeFXOOCFkv
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHJZqFqbZA
「大小姐，請您忍耐！」483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JwjtZwJXF

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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7kje8N0JC
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuzjuT5TKB
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Evd0DaHOm

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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr0NVdSfhh
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21VWZ4NrOu
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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcCh9OhuU5

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。483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiikm3L9kSG

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。
