雲層遮蔽了大部份日光，令天空蒙上一層暗淡的灰，連藍都那麼無精打采，更遑論生活在其下的人們了。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpsEtkyqiK
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotsvUiK4QI
從白廳這裡看出去，由於禁令的關係，附近的街道別說車馬，連行人都沒有。直挺挺站在宮門的衛兵像毫無生氣的雕像，只是忠誠地執行命令。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeeGUSdGTc
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbLWjDt6sw
這一副頹喪的景象，對久違歸國的西斯而言，難免感慨。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeghlV7rQOU
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwC1DfCes4
他嘆了口氣，離開窗邊，在牆邊站著。不過顧慮到身上穿的是自己借來晉見用的套裝，男人沒敢將背靠在牆上，生怕灰塵沾上天鵝絨外套。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXVV7Ar2m6
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJYFEztV4b
西斯得承認，久沒穿這東西，如今再穿上的感覺挺彆扭。而且北方冬天的氣候也令他頗不適應，在阿爾巴，即便冬天也沒有這麼冷，也比較乾燥。而蘭登總是潮濕的天氣令不透氣的襯衫穿在身上感覺更悶。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYR9bg8GhG
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCusWEDU5u
西斯拉了拉領口，想讓自己喘口氣。就在這時，通往廷宮的大門打開。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Tm9mR14m
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILuFFeP8Wx
「蘭開夏爵爺。」走出來的侍女左右看看，找到站在角落的他，「女王召見。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJWSo5I74D
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBGEuhHrNH
西斯朝她行禮，而後讓侍女領路，走進廷宮。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR0WccPLmJ
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qUsorg5zn
偌大的宮殿因其全白的建築而被稱為白廳，在艾德蒙王於此即位後，便成為整個英倫的權利中樞，政軍要事的相關部會都在此辦公，內閣議會和國王的居所也建立於此。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnb85GEbu9
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89dA5Jx1Rj
在外圍，是各部會的辦公室，以及議會聆廳民眾請願的請願廳，這裡統稱為外廷。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3GRQ0Z7fc
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoUrFnzxXt
再內一圈，是內閣與議會的所在，以及宴會廳等場所，只有擁有頭銜與封號的大貴族被允許進入，甚至有些人得到女王陛下的首肯，可以在這裡擁有自己的房間。此處，通稱為廷宮。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi61RjO0Brd
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0rVReeJFY
再往內則是內廷，也是真正被稱為白廳的宮殿，以中央的高塔為中心，向外傾斜、形成如山丘般的高聳城堡，是歷代國王的居所，一般只有親信與陪侍能夠進入。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAafUCc3K4R
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoieDiHQ7nI
不過為了稱呼方便，這坐落在首都蘭登城北邊的巨大建築群都統稱白廳。但真正生活在其中的人們就知道，在這裡頭的地位可是天差地遠。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcjs60goZy
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp8iJ8oJxQ
越往內，黑暗越濃重。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w74tGPE1X
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu4ZtxWL8z
西斯默默跟在侍女身後，走在廷宮內，依稀可聽到旁人的竊竊私語。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEIzkfPCW4
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFKMmB0UPc
廷宮不像外廷，全是年輕貴族或經常汰換的雇員，那些人不認得他也是正常的，他已經有十幾年沒回來了。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29eGh4sSwc
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JwDiTMAQ6
但廷宮裡的人還記得他，或者說是還對他這個人，以及當時突如其來的離去仍有印象。西斯不用聽也能猜出他們在談論什麼。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXAp8ALMWF
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9sEV36aTM
──被放逐的蘭開夏勳爵為什麼又回來了？24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnotCiYPm4
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieKQELro3F
──和杜邦家的克里斯多福近日回去領地是否有關？24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeSfzuv9dx
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l5qmxhYbz
──樞機主教已死，內閣是否又要改組？24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI82qJUCNi
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAthMVGumdY
但很可惜的，他們要失望了。西斯想。他回來可不是為了再掀起什麼動亂，而是為了結束這一切。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExLxecx9th
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudHU1KsN0x
侍女將他帶到一處迴廊前停下，而後行了個禮便退開了。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiT93rvHCx
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaabY4yV2l
因為這裡再過去就是女王的內廷。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqp9VbxDRg
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke3nW21l1L
西斯有些意外，他沒料到女王接見他的地方會……這麼深入。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTToouyWZkj
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyeygurPt7
就在他猶豫著是否應該繼續前進的時候，迴廊轉角走出一個身影。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cosfEFOXl
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0zvVGfHLp
看到對方時，西斯略感訝異。這不能怪他，畢竟他離開太久，而他最後見到約書亞的時候，還覺得對方只是乳臭未乾的小鬼。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX3nLmQIoX
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcArUuFPx2
金髮男人走到他面前，穿猩紅色的城衛軍制服，掛著金色隊長綬帶，與他那頭即便在灰白色建築裡依然閃亮的金髮相得益彰，他配著劍、站姿筆挺的模樣瞬間打散了西斯記憶中那個老板著臉、一臉不可一世模樣的少年。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmoxKW9z4S
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtMWBEf6R9
「約書亞。」他向來人笑著，「你可變得真多。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjkOjbGmSw
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG6pPU5SsJ
在他面前站定了，約書亞上下打量男人，「你也是，西斯。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu7Fb6YGyL
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQgZVmmkrG
從約書亞眼底看到對他衣著顯而易見的嫌惡，西斯笑得更開懷。很好，至少還有一點是他熟悉的。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs85vMKLkn
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaoDYzt4ZK
「我收回剛才的話，你一點都沒變。」看他笑成這副德性，約書亞皺眉。和克里斯多福比起來，這男人的變化真算少的。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrNI8df56t
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIEEkQ3dWb
「很高興聽你這麼說，約書亞。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7nBdUy5yR
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHfhgRWj4p
約書亞瞪了他一眼。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MX1TCR2ew
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5eCUfyuix
「走吧，陛下已經在等你了。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyyig0xkVh
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlkymvqbT3
西斯不是第一次進內廷，但最近一次來也是很久之前的事了。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLhVOFFX3c
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRufxDFbBVx
這裡不像外面那麼人來人往，偌大的白色宮殿裡裝飾得美侖美奐，卻寂靜。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNmn63uD2J
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v1fwaPmgZ
以前曾有國王為了展現慷慨，允許他親近的臣子與侍妾自由出入內廷，那時候的宮殿也許不像現在這麼冷清，不過像這樣安靜也有些反常。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKcRvNEbUF
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWeX5YZtO1
侍女們低頭走過，沒有交談或嬉戲，對於他們的到來也只是神色匆匆地行禮後，就各自去忙各自的事情。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfukDxGvRJp
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AlGXcfZyg
他們走過花園，這裡凋零的就像純白宮殿裡的冷漠。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7e5IQUwvo
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRNILmdVcK
「陛下在哪？」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c1Bgk6NRL
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jJwBaKTFI
在穿過中庭、踏上旋轉樓梯時，西斯突然問。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUSOv7BkyN
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD3OF4kUI9
「在塔上。」約書亞說。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGf0qNelKO
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHavzdHNYns
「……她在祈禱嗎？」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK4RZt7MmR
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7DlzbLRKw
約書亞點頭。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEkKjBsQ09
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G2DTAcE9D
這是該哀悼。西斯想，透過階梯旁的窗子，俯瞰正默哀中的城堡。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMTzgQjozV
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJYFJ61HGy
他們失去過很多，不只是利益或權勢，伙伴也不少，不過沒有像這一次失去的那麼痛。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PGur71azZ
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Mov80wd1
他回頭拾階而上，看著走在前頭的人。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOegxfsvgF
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZAzeVExVl
有那麼一瞬間，他將金髮的約書亞看成那個有著黑色鬈髮、提著裙襬的嬌小身影……24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb4DrHfA18
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLHlvQHVt6
她回過頭來，對他說──剛才那句話太失禮了，西斯──不過眼睛裡閃動的卻是不馴的笑意……24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yjo0YgQrU
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOEDgh0kWf
「西斯。」約書亞叫他，將男人從幻影中拉回來。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDdJxW9mVN
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1rkBn4qW3
他還是站在冰冷的台階上，還是冰冷的空氣，可是雪莉的身影不在，取代她的是約書亞，擁有英倫皇室血統的約書亞。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT7jIAceyW
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFl0hFFow0
西斯深吸口氣，露出笑容。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiwYhPAQZa
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UgZ0cDLge
有那麼一瞬，約書亞看起來有點好奇，似乎想開口問些什麼，但他還是壓抑住了。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DPvW1xTCz
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVvfAnhbBr
「……在這等著。」他說。轉身走到樓梯盡頭，拉著門環敲門。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YsF02y23f
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ422kazgBsZ
沒過多久，他就回頭叫西斯。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATaUzPi7WC
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iU9EnLadz
「進去吧。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwv3AuHyjd
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjIbb68d2c
西斯依言上前，繞過約書亞走進那扇門內。身後，金髮青年輕輕帶上門，呈圓型的斗室內，只剩下他和女王。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfJGJB8Yk8
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Da6e2ar7k
西斯進來的時候，女王仍跪在聖像前，低頭祈禱。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YJnuDf25h
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DSN9oosCd
直到門關起，她才緩緩起身、轉過來望著她的臣子。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVfEWDN6sD
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfInSwRWkf
蘇珊娜女王身上有所有金雀花家族的特質。她的金髮、藍色的眼睛、高挑身材、還有綜合桀驁不馴與堅毅兩者的性格。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmlXtg5GRG
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VLTu5epsM
西斯看著她，沒在女王臉上看到任何他以為會有的動搖或悲痛。他只在她臉上看到屬於王的神情，平靜且威嚴。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBTDjYiha6
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOFm6dN8ve
「陛下。」西斯躬身行禮。女王沒伸手示意他上前，他便待在原地。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmahB3LuG6
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37BlhBv3rC
「許久不見了，西斯。」蘇珊娜說：「你看來沒變多少。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrufIV0SS7h
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAYWG9pWzl
的確，我是所有人中變得最少的那一個，但可不是一點也沒變。西斯想，「陛下也美麗依舊。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtqHQMYAvP
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WZBzJcomw
「但老了。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOPDyqSbgm
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlil9mmDrJ
「也更睿智。」西斯說。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe33hveivJN
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe6ZF8TulO
蘇珊娜微笑，「你還是一樣能言善道，西斯。能見到一個老模樣的朋友，在現在也是欣慰。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8PDJdKcac
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuJ1bfYA1f
所以她並非無動於衷。低下頭的時候，西斯這麼想。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2FMbGtnMc
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC7KDTdiGd
「臣受寵若驚。」他卑微地道。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUXQLyIR8D
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtHa3R8OFx
蘇珊娜揮手讓他起身，走到塔頂的窗前，拂過她臉上的風也帶起落在她額際的髮絲，掺雜了紅的金，在蕭瑟裡像是最後一抹掙扎的顏色。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZIyL8JiGP
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht22icUALp
「西斯，現在的英倫就像進入冬季一樣，冰冷，而且麻木。」蘇珊娜說：「責任和歷史的壓迫看起來細微，可也非常沉重，它們正在掩埋我們。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoKualHXCo
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCofUaMdcE8
西斯沒有回答，他甚至不知道女王對他說這些事的用意何在。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaLKSMAIjq
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutVT6N4Foc
「但春天永遠會來。」她回過頭，注視她的臣子，「我們總是可以期待花苞綻放的那一天。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqyMckEapf
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYT4OVUi0u
「……您說的是，陛下。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46n6ahHCQG
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJQ3HLt0dU
對於西斯的謙遜附和，蘇珊娜只是好脾氣地微笑，「下去吧，西斯，你的加封典禮在明天舉行。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHkkG6b9iM
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag4LtkEV3T
「加封典禮嗎？陛下？」西斯皺眉。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4UEZ3xd8o
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHcj5yz52y
「你是回來為我辦事，那就必須有相應的地位和責任。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8eXdb08Yb
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFalfwCVr9J
「……是的，陛下。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjczbqck0e
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuBohbBDZ5
蘇珊娜顯然頗為欣賞他的順從，在他離去前，她還叫住他。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNbJuLpFPg
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBuKx0qE0f
「記得換好一些的套裝，親愛的，我想約書亞會願意替你找到合適的服裝。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJkSNovoHI
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3fFKnaH7Q
西斯有些尷尬地乾笑。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesINTuxwfP
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfzXyF1Pqf
男人離開後，只剩一人的斗室顯得更加寂靜。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFEP4ZxaAG
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnGEGyJ6VT
蘇珊娜再將頭轉向窗外，望著就在下方的庭園。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDzQ2fHZkc
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9FKnRQ6Cb
雖然還沒下雪，不過枝頭已經一片空盪，只留下僵硬、粗糙的深色線條，密密麻麻地，如同蛛網一般，取代了原有的色彩。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6wafzkNgD
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKBlB8wVV1
春天終究會來。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s1JPjAg2f
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JdcGVH3po
是的，除了心靈已近遲暮的她。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2pBSYm1X5
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqLF9U7n24
蘇珊娜離開窗邊，往門口走。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85CRw6HnFF
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o85663EIK
耳裡只聽見自己的裙襬摩挲地面的聲音，單一的、孤單的。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVuYEWx5pz
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwRsQB58I8
她深深歎氣，推開門。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy1QBSAIYC
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunMYcrcXIE
挺直了背脊。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKitTXyYuD

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSADr67zNvO
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERF5lKbSOo
西斯走下樓梯的時候，見到約書亞正倚在一旁的牆上。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGfOaOSmyh
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLkorfFmND
聽到他的腳步聲，金髮青年回過頭，注視男人朝他走來。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm4nf527Lw
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FdigtgEAV
「陛下要你幫我弄套可以看的衣服來。」西斯說，然後低頭看看自己這件借來的鼠棕色套裝，「……其實這件也挺好的，不是嗎？」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iSP2COR7t
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlo0fbdoUN
約書亞掃了他一眼，用哼聲表達他的輕蔑。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP39bT1cmsy
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xm22NRkMN
「有那麼糟嗎？」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JWa3EzriT
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTt4tgDzZo
「你向來都是一點品味也沒有的那一個。」約書亞說。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKimSKwdAv
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj2LzARi73
他又轉回頭去看花園，那裡空無一物，西斯想不出來有什麼好看的，但金髮青年突然幽幽地道：「我還是沒辦法想像她不在了。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIXjnlN5fU
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAT5wFuyeb
西斯看著他。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOutkJgnGB
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl4s2laZgx
這裡也有一個並非如此無動於衷的人。他想，只是他們都太習慣掩飾。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3RT2DSqmr
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mlmYfSuLT
「你和她認識很久了？」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiEjNiBQXP
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk8qoX2xHH
「當然……但沒比陛下久。」約書亞說道。他聽說雪莉從小時候起就一直是蘇珊娜的隨侍，她對她的忠誠甚至勝過了對她的丈夫。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPBzE0UOa2
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjYRjniHmE
他們從沒想過這忠誠背後有什麼原因，讓她連死亡都得悄無聲息仍然無怨無悔。他們只是那麼習慣雪莉的存在，她總是站在女王身後，嬌小不起眼，可直到她消失，他們才發覺她的存在那麼大。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS2YxIowBK
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCkPyctF3k
這整座城堡都在為她哀悼。就像它知道一個老朋友已經不會再回來了一樣。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw3Y1zNbUj
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIW8FaO1V8
西斯沉默，他對此難以有任何回應。他們曾經是同伴，有共同理想和目標的那種。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eb1U2rQX4
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhvjWFTh7l
「克里斯多福呢？」他換了個話題。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOEskH1VRR
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8vFJH3zcN
「他回領地去了。我以為你應該會知道。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bCTeIiX1m
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRd0GdRCwa
「我當然知道。但他不可能只是回去而已吧。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsPrMjUg3c
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSQ0ZTF1tq
約書亞盯著他一陣，才說：「他是雪莉死前最後見到她的那個人。」好像這句話就足以說明一切。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWeJ5D9hCf
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccdDW8YM3f
西斯點頭，他就知道那個男人不會沒有任何動作。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYVC7VrLaZ
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvdtFVAA7n
克里斯多福的失勢是他離開宮廷之後的事情，那之後，他聽到不少傳聞，都說這男人變了。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj5YwlGLot
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhymK8n9Rsf
但現在看來，他覺得克里斯多福一點也沒變。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewgvk6qkNp
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoMw16FyMl
一個人要改變很難，除非有強而有力的契機。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YxYTwHOyQ
