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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQczMrCXS1M

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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhwMefeLEH
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO16yp6yaG
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr19Zo4YLvJ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW3emvRZq1
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyitcJBwvsB
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtldNdY2xh
當然……精靈族也不例外。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtmIESfleX
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj90lisFeie
轟隆！236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oK2A6sc0P
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweHHEdriPV
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQbTSZtASq
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2DvvZNx8Y
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9vmmJw689
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEQOLjU8J3
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNviqXkkSd
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiFBujUMY1
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5QdIQfuMS
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEksOHTmVR
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2PBDCAqwU
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAKpqsIobz
她以為她已經忘了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OwqijPuen
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fb2nEeOiv
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iQoEP5168
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW8EIXs1Oj
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq5UiClthw
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9nlVUSZNn
可過去經歷的場景每日每夜、不厭其煩地造訪伊德里爾。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi4DrVEIeS
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgctJFzhcyQ
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbRYPv0pVM
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpviqVBiHY
「絕不能重蹈覆轍，我一定要守護好王國。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qit5nd9Xk
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo7qP96rN0
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYm5GNms17
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90h1XxrIFR
咿呀……236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcepqf8zKEm
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAws0aVT9oL
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NTGzHQhf2
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4s7HLliJE
「是誰？」伊德里爾連忙將被子撫平，將它覆蓋於腰上。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE9egzZlBr
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOWZHLZAE8
片刻，從暗處緩緩現身的是──端著熱茶的阿特里奇。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSOq0eVYgr
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvb58heuuo
「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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WCffx18kA
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmvdV2MEri
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW0FeHRuf8
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d6OMtGCt9
不過從白瓷茶杯飄散出來的薰衣草香可知──她失敗了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxuQfTEP83
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8fLqc3MvY
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Rg8RNo1d
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBJHRwRaJj
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rF5XgWXJW
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3eNBfjRFn
「怎麼了？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxEY32g0EZ
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyihm5lByG
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtZo5DkGND
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……」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdPDYvfn3C
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRBUWLj0z7
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs400jBQkHe
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxyMp0PQtl
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWmVp9c7rq
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKRYntk2Xc
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLEUTWWpe0
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ1kzq4gGe
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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pp3fe6aIg
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2SaATvfCW
阿特里奇輕點頭，正想取回茶杯時──236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcd34eoaVS
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefEJwypA02
轟隆！236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kg0xdJZFS
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk7cnd5iMP
又是一聲足以驚天動地的雷響，雨也更大了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTkDcoSBLI
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPzdkpyUlS
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnVBSY6nmU
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI8SZSWGGu
阿特里奇將茶杯擺回茶碟，立馬問道：「您沒事？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvQHmaTAoO
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12859i8d5k
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSbXB5YSjq
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W4NZ1v7nE
「您害怕打雷？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJit8VvO0W
「……才沒有。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyW4vzIaCg
「您在發抖。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywgyMLQXod
「只、只是被嚇到了……！」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91jWx87BfB
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaS5AhAGAL
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeJfJFlek9
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHRlII36O0
「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？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNLHsodHcV
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFy5zr5Dzt
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6qsbSaPpM
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscDGhZy7Pc
「……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……」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpFnviktQD
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoAsJDZTef
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4EaT1TJQf
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ94B3Oln2y
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3v1NwRQ4w
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0zvqv2jiW
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bwz4tt7is
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkuxKUrqx0
「這是我第一次這麼做……應該沒有弄痛您才是。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqEDPBtiZT
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqqRS3Ghw2
「噗……哈哈……！」伊德里爾掩住嘴笑著，眼角甚至冒出了些許淚水。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJky6SMco3x
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtENGXpCBxl
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI6nqCw8q1
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4QqyFrZmb
「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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73W0GnEsxk
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKXKWzWLz8
「能替您消除壓力那當然是最好，那麼我先回房……」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv8vJRaRlp
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZx6PYxmLD
「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？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITGhyvKzVN
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV37k8LNPjW
「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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6ii1HPbMR
「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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vnsBXzuJv
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L0sKcNY69
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？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tcZPeMAMM
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS4OJnnW2h
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxuzXT6pd8
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw86XSjxNL
「……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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC1fIaOvOU
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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVzZcNdEdk
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbYrCxyMDI
「我會待在這裡、待在您身旁，直到您安心入眠為止。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpszPSpHN7H
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx5sTN3vTw
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNmQtmo4fQ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q207BkDRz
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq2i4ffcJj
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfDhlBUn0s
​那日，是伊德里爾有史以來睡得最安穩的一天。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrG0IYilPA
