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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHugqc5Yevn
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf8aGah594
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqu9vtKaoy
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNj4Fw1Uep
這一副頹喪的景象，對久違歸國的西斯而言，難免感慨。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaIQaZLWc0
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwf0jShCMf
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4VqiohL4k
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHiwqjXAhh
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv4ZCLTH7Q
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mLwnvGwcr
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLPyPbnZZc
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw6wBA4Nqo
「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。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjrv9jVnor
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwCPcG6onb
西斯朝她行禮，而後讓侍女領路，走進廷宮。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKn0lEqOVv
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSA4T6XK5q
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h3CM8ipA2
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgPUNpGahv
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6SQ7xt366
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a8YGS51l7
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSa5W4xjdo
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTLdDd8JZU
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfmNhUFGAs
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQGGtdbRFF
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nVk8fPu3P
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UNbiexsO5
越往內，黑暗越濃重。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKzKttYn0v
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifp2jlYMFk
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NbSYvTbfY
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdlESlQ52N
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPooCVeDr7
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdehRfs6xu
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp27tHFSgE
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7TowULdfZ
──被放逐的蘭開夏勳爵為什麼又回來了？33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbBYvB1p2A
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguvzp7jlp9
──和杜邦家的克里斯多福近日回去領地是否有關？33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnOHLjITvn
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d9xkAdpTv
──樞機主教已死，內閣是否又要改組？33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRwGgmBKBX
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsLbYkwnXQ
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMOuh8ztRG
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIp0JzMHw2
侍女將他帶到一處迴廊前停下，而後行了個禮便退開了。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCKRtVh2XU
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ83NniOYTm
因為這裡再過去就是女王的內廷。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgZTo7bTbV
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWp86wT1Pw
西斯有些意外，他沒料到女王接見他的地方會……這麼深入。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1sTkEtHRs
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoQySnhVWm
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5fBDoZUBV
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB8FYAjaa2
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2JPjey1wI
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ268CX0BuUm
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdnn4Eoz8V
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXXAKN0T1d
「約書亞。」他向來人笑著，「你可變得真多。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsbrMowmdk
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaJisxk2rf
在他面前站定了，約書亞上下打量男人，「你也是，西斯。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEHs6VK4M0
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH3ux1djYh
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjY2nocEhR
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLJwB4rluV
「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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoOK1spOHf
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvU9zY9zDX
「很高興聽你這麼說，約書亞。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZWVub839M
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJyRoyH7cM
約書亞瞪了他一眼。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLl0GBUhaq
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvXOchgxHp
「走吧，陛下已經在等你了。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWrT9Z7CgY
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngVSXe4sNR
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBSso7f7sL
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5uBkEQgpW
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E1pvi3tFx
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63IsxJMIvV
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS80Y8pAL7
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJflOBqqHM8
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8acoVKvTD6
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3IX4Anpxl
他們走過花園，這裡凋零的就像純白宮殿裡的冷漠。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhnZ4yzECj
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndbcbShMVI
「陛下在哪？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKIgSGYkND
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnCPl8RJnW
在穿過中庭、踏上旋轉樓梯時，西斯突然問。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yYc8KrWCb
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVticzwi2R
「在塔上。」約書亞說。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOBItvjUSo
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEIfr6OKwj
「……她在祈禱嗎？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9odaH6zYU
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Lr8q9NkB
約書亞點頭。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01L8B5s2d4
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2fKbrXQTm
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeECsTdxXnA
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKsYzv4H7E
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEINJNnLHGS
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUVmNF3GJZ
他回頭拾階而上，看著走在前頭的人。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrqXOJiVVW
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zu2dyCJ9d
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……33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYyRLEzr2t
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2WR6foLbj
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……33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlCU0LCvf6
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt0Y3VJJuW
「西斯。」約書亞叫他，將男人從幻影中拉回來。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0FOI98ltu
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1PYkyziEt
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQmk82Bxgd
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQYhVDY0QT
西斯深吸口氣，露出笑容。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzKq4htHt8
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCdmphbWBH
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1X0ot7fMo
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlYuMgLjaP
「……在這等著。」他說。轉身走到樓梯盡頭，拉著門環敲門。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN4UcKf0W9
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KR4S6tv07
沒過多久，他就回頭叫西斯。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1ivAWFM2V
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIxol3rnJ0
「進去吧。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKJkAbB4jE
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvlzzjLeBj
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCy49U92c0
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyPFkATjo1
西斯進來的時候，女王仍跪在聖像前，低頭祈禱。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhCEhWvOel
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyqLZch1O9
直到門關起，她才緩緩起身、轉過來望著她的臣子。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlDrWRPfww
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuOXcXJsHu
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLoEprlnZn
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n8bCRllYe
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPLajT8mzH
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdt7tX3dv7
「陛下。」西斯躬身行禮。女王沒伸手示意他上前，他便待在原地。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkwdwENXro
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprVf3uD2MB
「許久不見了，西斯。」蘇珊娜說：「你看來沒變多少。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv5Wop9NjE
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdxMjpYJdl
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。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrkQa5tSiz
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9QM3yBLQL
「但老了。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dgiFTfBbp
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETYGNvKln5
「也更睿智。」西斯說。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLJBMnZuXT
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNenw2Sw0W5
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。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh1k5TwuoB
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdy39F1FJN
所以她並非無動於衷。低下頭的時候，西斯這麼想。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEZxvNb4DR
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVenRSPGyhG
「臣受寵若驚。」他卑微地道。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWKmD0QF8U
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIiWyaLUt2
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqtFgHiaro
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRyQxnSj9t
「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。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUkrN0HGir
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxCJK6lG29
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJVPCmZUmP
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv4lFIig9m
「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。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs98BNqO3Jr
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeW4zV1TKr
「……您說的是，陛下。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz7qS7DK2O
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvh2ZOr0D4
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。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu62WWYV598
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWl7LDmnwh
「加封典禮嗎？陛下？」西斯皺眉。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYA7ckmJOQ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNDT7c0lTr
「你是回來為我辦事，那就必須有相應的地位和責任。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxcRnAMNV8
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOfeEbCz8b
「……是的，陛下。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q62bslgFb
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnJhUt5qlt
蘇珊娜顯然頗為欣賞他的順從，在他離去前，她還叫住他。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIbHYJeSuY
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqCJg0trYy
「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。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCivpsnjiL
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h8QkRGE7C
西斯有些尷尬地乾笑。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkXscxKZk8
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtLxqoVKUm
男人離開後，只剩一人的斗室顯得更加寂靜。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXui8srOLkP
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU3KI0jQyc
蘇珊娜再將頭轉向窗外，望著就在下方的庭園。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aazMTBCAL
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H25SaBNAe
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eIC9G4lI2
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurX3yJVG3k
春天終究會來。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGykIsOlSG
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh172g1FAyv
是的，除了心靈已近遲暮的她。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbszxNiCweD
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCslJQtzLM
蘇珊娜離開窗邊，往門口走。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPm0TTiASP
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62BQVZaeRw
耳裡只聽見自己的裙襬摩挲地面的聲音，單一的、孤單的。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQxP8vJ0DQ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcqSfszGUB
她深深歎氣，推開門。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEzUBQARJM
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S91DUNGFb
挺直了背脊。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYVxl1SNDt
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWzQHIx8as
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4J1bSwvrT
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEZD4POBmO
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoGxx1LqcU
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhnKTguGM3
西斯走下樓梯的時候，見到約書亞正倚在一旁的牆上。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTjQJn0V2Y
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pu9TTsYHs
聽到他的腳步聲，金髮青年回過頭，注視男人朝他走來。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACKYOmrq1Z
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyIT54DgzI
「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？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOavnLbxKV
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEOuXRA8iT
約書亞掃了他一眼，用哼聲表達他的輕蔑。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmFLroGU1z
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXthGLGA1AI
「有那麼糟嗎？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXZSMEoNGW
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLdo73dd50
「你向來都是一點品味也沒有的那一個。」約書亞說。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVVxPkGcdI
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00J7x2OXxJ
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。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1XKm4Hb24
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth5rbZq8Et
西斯看著他。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfieyZS1MB
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5xVeleMEt
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFccvmfKuw
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOPP8RLC4q
「你和她認識很久了？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaaiNuj6M5
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRWQjy5IB0
「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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbCJMMNlqV
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTouTDEnli
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ12iiuEAcM
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVDdvwkwDc
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LpshOWf9C
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwyQlRVSYH
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFdDzgPmhi
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelhT0vuSIh
「克里斯多福呢？」他換了個話題。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyo6i1qY3R
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtKOmdwJrf
「他回領地去了。我以為你應該會知道。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUN3tZE0LR
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ3Ucqkrra
「我當然知道。但他不可能只是回去而已吧。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjPxOZyH1U
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNl7PdSZIO
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrv4Q5z0RN
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnapPMgSh0
西斯點頭，他就知道那個男人不會沒有任何動作。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHrORqalrZ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR3wDXirIP
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。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRyZRplwBo
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGak67kTnD
但現在看來，他覺得克里斯多福一點也沒變。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcwruOUmls
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKSLhimT4g
一個人要改變很難，除非有強而有力的契機。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhFJ13TONw
