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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3KNkY76sq
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4UciTv4Lg
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1RHU01Iqs
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12VfoJchxl
這一副頹喪的景象，對久違歸國的西斯而言，難免感慨。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvkYFXFx38
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK2HgqcNjB
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Oi6eT0EUO
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgGOr48u7z
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTRbkpJDtn
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5v9FqndrB
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEEEXf0ytO
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3eSXr8pqh
「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。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCa2KkESH3
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf0uKb99PB
西斯朝她行禮，而後讓侍女領路，走進廷宮。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT7e5VhXUr
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuXZ4OVI44
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOZo9w16K3
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD1GZVgiTs
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRhp38XerV
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK92R3BDpI
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA080KRcbQ
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoggUGZ8Qr
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4T06YhtKL
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDh6GMtAUR
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoKSmr8ZAe
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWVcoBDkBp
越往內，黑暗越濃重。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwC3m9NcNy
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUom1v8HQz0
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurMWeHV7vN
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNddMUlGUR
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8F7u6qvxL
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTCb7MbCkh
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u4JR6pbp6
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStoZg12aS0
──被放逐的蘭開夏勳爵為什麼又回來了？28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTjM7c73pP
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBkvyhrlpS
──和杜邦家的克里斯多福近日回去領地是否有關？28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTTmGarvhk
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uedkSlJEv
──樞機主教已死，內閣是否又要改組？28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXKfLL2Gxb
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuVuu9d0CI
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1GSLhtppv
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4OwgDRWwl
侍女將他帶到一處迴廊前停下，而後行了個禮便退開了。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3rzSliQXL
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqfWdAQbp5
因為這裡再過去就是女王的內廷。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hqPvueMhC
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjca8obj9Hw
西斯有些意外，他沒料到女王接見他的地方會……這麼深入。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vMMjLV88d
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtUwwAcGwg
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8t9gDV31J
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwpjl7sA4c
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmb6wLXVz6
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxfRAL4WYk
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsgeOzPnu5
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6QTuXq23P
「約書亞。」他向來人笑著，「你可變得真多。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph506UlK9N
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj5HQy5M41
在他面前站定了，約書亞上下打量男人，「你也是，西斯。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUerN4ZBS7y
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc0Iag5Mx4
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvleUw2ueME
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4GtW0hzef
「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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeWXGerKms
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7NwRfUfkx
「很高興聽你這麼說，約書亞。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVa4A5uLXi
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC99i5utd6
約書亞瞪了他一眼。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUG2zpqCwm
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptqLolSUnk
「走吧，陛下已經在等你了。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGo7f5owZI
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF9WDbWCmB
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXbcLWqp6l
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp0kLpICL3
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kgIFED1jM
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M1WvvxMJu
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rdN0QCeqR
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScBRb9JOJu
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb7enQzd8D
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O3R0M8t7T
他們走過花園，這裡凋零的就像純白宮殿裡的冷漠。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWujvZMc5w
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB0OZVoFbe
「陛下在哪？」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDGY7q9hj5
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9PAspEARC
在穿過中庭、踏上旋轉樓梯時，西斯突然問。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPfuqnYAl8
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL1VF4lwGU
「在塔上。」約書亞說。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgehmKB9Q7w
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4kJo3X1Wx
「……她在祈禱嗎？」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bdU0NiR2D
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylt4xuzVUc
約書亞點頭。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk2P4jMc9s
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLVTcrJ7VM
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlRbQ4yF0S
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfAIfagKwy
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxO8YYZyqW
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9ywFis5f3
他回頭拾階而上，看著走在前頭的人。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktOClAUicZ
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTv0FMehzs
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……28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuLYCmhYo5
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5NMW2QGzH
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……28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnedA36WtT
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IqTgwKPp1
「西斯。」約書亞叫他，將男人從幻影中拉回來。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOFOOqC0zv
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffpNb6ik4W
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDLerxCSNB
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqJukIXs4d
西斯深吸口氣，露出笑容。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcrBd3OkmA
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHZBuvkEgl
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y62LqrZcf
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7tgSRnslX
「……在這等著。」他說。轉身走到樓梯盡頭，拉著門環敲門。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iVvlAILD1
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtIjksKImp
沒過多久，他就回頭叫西斯。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dXHuwEB6o
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAelPXrIorX
「進去吧。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rdFhaCt7u
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZCSUhKjdK
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7USm9Xz7Vh
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nEdxKyAGg
西斯進來的時候，女王仍跪在聖像前，低頭祈禱。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlCcM4YhC5
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtgHG4eDiH
直到門關起，她才緩緩起身、轉過來望著她的臣子。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w5FdojCrE
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCEh2OzxGh
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn6Zf1Nb7Y
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmbTNnrIG0
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKopwv3h6r
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1dUsHKo9U
「陛下。」西斯躬身行禮。女王沒伸手示意他上前，他便待在原地。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY7YHzMcYV
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjqB2JnEMQ
「許久不見了，西斯。」蘇珊娜說：「你看來沒變多少。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5Z9CoCf3Y
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJxX6PbBi0
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。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi6p2p34at
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVb2m7UZEm
「但老了。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIvgLjRJ0z
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC3WEtMOhq
「也更睿智。」西斯說。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnkcd57HM4
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGlyPAF53m
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。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiThAOdP3b2
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHTMYxOPlh
所以她並非無動於衷。低下頭的時候，西斯這麼想。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Bi16snzh
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62XvAnWC3t
「臣受寵若驚。」他卑微地道。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAocA9ZOW3
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbYRTDTbTC
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLDVQT4ZyW
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeFlOt6Z0E
「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。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoIYSGX9Bo
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBIiW4dQR7
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklOGca2SLR
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuawA07liwo
「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。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCSE0HjPZA
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuC2yeMP8X
「……您說的是，陛下。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDrjKHpk3q
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCMDxJxl8Z
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。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFEdRAGjce
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jKd1aFije
「加封典禮嗎？陛下？」西斯皺眉。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vo4PFl95i
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEArhDuySZ
「你是回來為我辦事，那就必須有相應的地位和責任。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAnQakoSJO
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyN3hkJHMw
「……是的，陛下。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj98YhGKzWg
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdQ78ctpNd
蘇珊娜顯然頗為欣賞他的順從，在他離去前，她還叫住他。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYH9LQPxHC
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ynB5wcQsa
「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。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu5vZNFXtT
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaM6RGNge0
西斯有些尷尬地乾笑。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscO1bXII2M
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNDca3HdZw
男人離開後，只剩一人的斗室顯得更加寂靜。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk48eeKhLnf
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16hxSmqUEw
蘇珊娜再將頭轉向窗外，望著就在下方的庭園。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8cCGY6RMs
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3rQKcKHXa
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJWABWAa6d
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PHRqwScn8
春天終究會來。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIhRUHJjCZ
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGclzVkgiUO
是的，除了心靈已近遲暮的她。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQa9BURXe8
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHvmjg0Wrk
蘇珊娜離開窗邊，往門口走。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDdVjDr9eX
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLpvhc41Qi
耳裡只聽見自己的裙襬摩挲地面的聲音，單一的、孤單的。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Xd5uLyD0
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xSMe8eiZi
她深深歎氣，推開門。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHXEOjXyCv
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkv8RmNRL5
挺直了背脊。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd10yPVW07P

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPetDpDg25C
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT22BPOcYE
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1CTaleNl1
西斯走下樓梯的時候，見到約書亞正倚在一旁的牆上。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBgPeNqm3n
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6qhcKoMys
聽到他的腳步聲，金髮青年回過頭，注視男人朝他走來。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLfsEUm9uh
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5CxORnE8L
「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？」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nYpEjhsqv
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUVMG6Mm2J
約書亞掃了他一眼，用哼聲表達他的輕蔑。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL4pdczpT7
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhvGTxfJBR
「有那麼糟嗎？」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68gX9JJlRu
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0sRbxE5cG
「你向來都是一點品味也沒有的那一個。」約書亞說。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36o13xfjPN
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVPWi1dmjC
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。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGpxBejZZw
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EVdaNReD0
西斯看著他。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilmupvV7iO
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj9QwI7y7w
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZvl6LMY8V
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89Ayu0INHm
「你和她認識很久了？」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1hNOMoz3B
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhpsuvJIMA
「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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkeNCOJZCc
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXobswV6RzV
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiKkKUTW7K
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW3o2eSWZb
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rUEofYMen
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TTJ7te2QG
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPDZhCjw5E
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1it3sb8NRx
「克里斯多福呢？」他換了個話題。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRYw1JKYM2
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelY1C66iEZ
「他回領地去了。我以為你應該會知道。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga0qALiwB1
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuIY6Ypeja
「我當然知道。但他不可能只是回去而已吧。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Cr6gMYQS
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U1HZApsz6
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLwDbE8o0D
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpA8P4oxek
西斯點頭，他就知道那個男人不會沒有任何動作。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95LBLyImnb
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3YEchruVp
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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0aVP21LZK
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vfpcSrNZq
但現在看來，他覺得克里斯多福一點也沒變。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYgY27aFiw
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6yhETPo4j
一個人要改變很難，除非有強而有力的契機。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCARvdIW5d
