閱兵結束後便是騎士受封大典。這次共有十五位在軍、政、學、醫領域表現傑出的候選人，大葆士便是其中一名。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQiFRrrM39

大葆士在化妝間整理妝容時，葛柏上尉前來找他。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgsKuCghFl
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZVjcmQchc
「少校，您今天辛苦了！」葛柏上尉愧疚地看著正被化妝師努力拆鬍的大葆士：「我必須為昨晚魯莽的言行跟您道歉！」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQjLZGXFhD
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAsepEzud4
「沒關係。」大葆士笑道。然而他的笑容因為臉頰被拉扯的關係，形成誇張弧度。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfxxU2csea
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzbYXxA5wh
「不，我真的很抱歉！您是很偉大的機擬員，我必會用餘生誓死效忠您！」葛柏上尉說完，用力行了一個完美軍禮！310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDZLUEjKMJ
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosPAzAlHT9
大葆士正要回禮時，一直拔不下來的假鬍突然鬆脫，他就這樣一頭撞上梳妝台！310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu5sdlL2sr
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMvILNNQUA
「哎呀！我的歡鴿！」眾人驚叫。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVBhO3ez7Y
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ452E7VO2BL
受封大典在柏金漢宮主殿──「柏金大堂」舉行。女皇及主要王室成員皆會齊聚一堂，給予受封者祝福。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9oyI3PmCj
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjJKaenowD
大葆士換上正式軍官裝，以真實模樣參與典禮。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX3FjoCfr6
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn8JC4GBS4
原本戰神殿打算讓大葆士依照宣傳照的形象出席，但美編部和公關部在看到大葆士閱兵的野人樣後，毅然決然放棄了這項決定。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yGP9KuUjd
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfeyuKa5pB
弄巧成拙的失誤，一次就夠了。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7G4kcjiye
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPi4E1aRGW
大葆士是第一次進入柏金漢宮的主殿，平民無法入內，只有王室貴族和高階政要才能登堂。然而，只要成為王室騎士，日後便可以自由進出主殿，享受最低貴族的待遇。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz5JSJYdEd
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAxGtgMgnT
輪到大葆士進行受封了。他慎重的走上台階，在女皇腳前屈膝跪地。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHBxUDYusN
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5d3u0ExmW
「機擬員少校大葆士 ‧ 溫頓，吾今日奉歡鴿旨意，冊封汝為荊心騎士。今後汝將不惜一切保衛國土，守護弱者。無畏不懼！無堅不摧！此誓言汝必銘記在心，永誌不忘！」女皇平舉沒有劍尖的長劍，將其按在大葆士的右肩上，祝福道。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn7DPr3gj1
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUfs1cP1tY
女皇收起長劍，微彎下腰扶起大葆士，布滿皺紋的臉龐帶有無比的暖意。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR25LYtZY4H
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0KjL4xiQ0
「孩子，你今天表現得很好，布列斯托能擁有你是何等的幸運。」女皇看著大葆士輕語，後者臉頰泛起紅暈。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv56pHgGsU1
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqQe5woLve
「謝謝您的讚賞，女皇陛下。」大葆士不敢貿然直視女皇，當上騎士是布列斯托平民的夢想。對於 10 歲還躺在髒亂酒瓶堆裡過活的大葆士而言，可從來沒想過自己會有這麼一天。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaCdZQrk2Z
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt0cIHwuNr
「不過你好像長得跟剛才不太一樣呢。」女皇露出慈祥帶點慧黠的微笑：「這才是你原本的樣子，對吧？」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZcSgYTLu2
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SYP19TEJV
「是的，女皇陛下。」大葆士有些尷尬的低下頭。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZCwCCmbJJ
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykWhTpkNnz
接著是授與騎士胸章的儀式。依照布列斯托王室傳統，每位騎士將由大王子或大公主的子嗣親手別上騎士胸章。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LUNhQ7Kor
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW52XGTlq1
大王子威卡漢 ‧ 金列斯有三名孩子，這次的授與儀式將由今年滿 20 歲的三公主──艾雀 ‧ 金列斯主持。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jPAi602Ue
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc3z3tlVmH
艾雀 ‧ 金列斯三公主為王室著名的可人兒，也被媒體譽為集美麗與感性於一身的文學公主。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTItLZsEU6
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mDmD1kP4B
艾雀三公主雖然還是大學生，卻已經出版過不少膾炙人口的愛情文學作品。美麗的她擁有眾多追求者，也因此經歷過幾段戀情。而這些戀情都幻化成她筆下的唯美愛情故事。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyd2o0krs0
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhNW2OI2fi
身著水藍半肩禮服的艾雀公主依序為一字排開的新任騎士們別上胸章。有好幾名男性騎士在對上艾雀公主那水靈靈的大眼時，臉頰同耳根子紅了起來！310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIspNq45eb
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvX1tXLt3q
「願歡鴿祝福你。」艾雀公主清澈好聽的嗓音讓騎士們聽得如癡如迷。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrgEE2G3L9
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAask5d5oIB
艾雀公主捧著特製胸章盒來到大葆士面前，她看向大葆士，後者眼睛眨也不眨的直視她。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECiI4OEwn9
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGDa4Avt0L
「……願歡鴿祝福你。」艾雀公主停頓了兩秒，隨後打開盒子，為大葆士別上胸章。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK9ddFmg5t
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0sOj2djmQ
別好胸章後，艾雀公主纖長的手指停在大葆士的胸口上，遲遲沒有移動。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXgXEMzwym
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy3iPxvG40
「殿下，該輪到下一位了！」一旁侍從小聲提醒，艾雀公主這才回過神！她快速抽回手，尷尬地離開大葆士面前。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqygycj8p0g
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXdiCsXOnU
受封大典結束後便是下午茶會。原本大葆士預計在結束後前往「象牙基地塔」與巴特夫進行交接，但女皇讓人傳訊給他，希望他能留下來與年紀相仿的王子公主們一起喝杯茶。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5swaRIXH0L
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gBECXIsYd
大葆士來到茶會舉行地點，也就是皇宮後花園。花園由專業花匠精心打造，並聘請園丁隨時照護，別緻景象讓大葆士在花叢前逗留許久。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd9CYY6M4A
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKZahMRUTz
「那是『金葉莓』，口感甜甜澀澀的。」大葆士的背後響起清澈女音，大葆士連忙側身彎腰，朝艾雀公主行禮：「艾雀殿下好。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy1DilSb2i
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcaYEGn9U9
「你好，溫頓少校。」艾雀公主露出淺笑：「你對植物有興趣嗎？喜歡的話，不妨摘一個試吃看看，我小時候很常吃的。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10rkSaBYc5
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX1BjhvyHV
「不用了，謝謝殿下。」大葆士維持行禮姿勢不動。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUTbPLwO0K
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxXMXfARgJ
「沒關係的，啊，你請先站好吧。」艾雀公主伸手摘了一顆顏色最為鮮豔的莓果，遞到大葆士手上：「請用，溫頓少校。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzcZyK1qEN
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZjFBF4xVN
「謝謝殿下。」大葆士直起身，接過公主給的莓果。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfY8lp7ala
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rfyERL0Lb
「金葉莓的汁液具補血作用，對女性來說是很好的補品。殿下可請御廚幫您熬煮成果茶，飯後飲用。」大葆士說完將莓果放進嘴裡。艾雀公主眨眼。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlJL7G7irt
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0rcNDN7M1
「聽聞少校是高閣醫學大學跳級畢業的高材生，果然是博學多聞！」艾雀公主讚揚道：「溫頓少校，我想邀請你一同到位上喝茶，不知你意下如何？」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDDt2kh8JU
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUWlcADwPd
「那是我的榮幸，殿下。」大葆士再度彎腰。鮮豔莓果其實是過熟的，味道很苦，他心想。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwZVzGr2wZ
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDtUDY9cbQ
在艾雀公主的邀請下，大葆士來到茶會區。只見穿著精緻的貴族們一派輕鬆的坐在典雅沙發上，邊聊天邊享用美味茶點。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51MInRekj2
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8GBQ4BlbJ
「溫頓少校，請坐。」艾雀公主讓侍女去準備新鮮茶點，打算與大葆士一起享用。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1oXeUrkx1
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdXiCcRBUN
然而，大葆士卻是站在原處，一動也不動。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4iKYtMQHZ
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWNZb5snIi
「溫頓少校？」艾雀公主輕喚道，大葆士盯著眼前享受生活的王室貴族們，瞳孔失去光澤。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeBwtGsCle
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dk6vUOPTY
「大葆士？」艾雀公主喊道，大葆士回神，面帶歉色的朝公主行禮道歉。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfURtFXmuCH
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUSEM65frG
「不用那麼拘束，其實我們年紀差不多的。」艾雀公主笑道：「以後只有我們兩個的話，你不用對我行禮，說好了。」她小聲補充。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewHR9Tt1R6
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cxvlplYOa
「好的，殿下。」大葆士點頭。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8tEOYESlW
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxF4TecTFO
侍女提著點心塔和剛泡好的奶茶上桌。大葆士看著裝滿精緻茶點的餐塔，露出笑眼。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMwmgxXeey
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4nkQ40huQ
「少校喜歡吃甜點嗎？」艾雀公主注意到大葆士在笑，於是問道。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6K6lPpUgK
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCoCXWrtXO
「Hehe ，不是，只是第一次看到這麼漂亮的食物。」大葆士專注看著塔上的小蛋糕，殊不知艾雀公主正透過餐塔的間隙欣賞他的表情。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlWv1JApBP
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01GY7fDtDD
「請吃吃看。你喜歡的話，我可以再請御廚準備一份。」公主笑道。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgsc55G1zr

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69pnkztz8W
「請問少校有閱讀文學書籍的習慣嗎？」飲茶過程中，艾雀公主問道。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiwVIKcvHl
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrTTHy0cr9
「有的，閒暇時會看。」大葆士小心翼翼的把蛋糕上的白巧克力片摘下，艾雀公主眨眼。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b78cZGbJb
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp35rMq7R28
「那……你都看什麼類型的？情感類的你會看嗎？」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtJyJ1ffi0
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMSXXhHKyN
「多半是哲學，不看情感。」大葆士把巧克力片放進口中，艾雀公主抿嘴。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm9rU8AVXF
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXOLtzb4Bq
「希望我這麼問不會冒犯到你。」艾雀公主看著大葆士：「請問少校有情人嗎？」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25ZrvJHats
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb7VPDLfdX
大葆士挑眉，公主見狀連忙打圓場。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcYsqoXS8r
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9yumcDajq
「請別誤會，因為你剛才提到很少在看情感作品，所以我才好奇是不是已經有陪伴對象才不感興趣……」艾雀公主伸手撥弄垂在耳際下的髮絲，模樣有些失措。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFMHM6cgzh
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5krPyzfNb7
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX2afx63Dg
「我沒有情人，也認為自己不值得擁有。」大葆士望向遠方若隱若現的鋼鐵牆：「我能做的，就是保護各位與各位的情人，讓大家能安心延續人類的文明。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLILoX6flpa
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz25khvjfTk
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH9d9x8Shv
「請別這麼說，溫頓少校。」艾雀公主皺起漂亮的濃眉：「我完全不認為你不值得擁有，你在大眾眼裡是相當出眾的男性。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc5yHIDS0U
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpR1K7Se0i
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawOZqkFsaU
「艾雀姊姊！」公主身後傳來銀鈴般的笑聲，只見一名穿著新潮的亮麗女孩從背後一把環住她的脖子，將頭抵在她的肩頸處笑看坐在對面的大葆士。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCTOYAPGUJ
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX8WC5h5U0

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EQGZph6DM
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTlIazB1Uo
「希文，在貴賓面前這樣太沒禮貌了。」艾雀公主無奈道，她輕搖頸部示意女孩鬆手。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PQ8LSY5Bs
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFFNI4VeLz
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnSV1cNTgd
「您好，希文 ‧ 溫莎 ‧ 衛利普公主殿下。」大葆士對這名字有印象，他連忙從位上站起，對溫莎大公爵今年剛滿 18 歲的愛女行禮。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf8lUMipbl
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfruP4d5Gk
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdTI64BlAi
「我太驚訝了！沒想到大葆士 ‧ 溫頓實際上這麼年輕！」希文公主坐到艾雀公主旁邊：「哇！長得還有點可愛欸！」她眼角勾起。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmlnu2Vhq8
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKFgBhsh1l
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmtXpUZBfk

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG3LJr71fs
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQgzEMOczo
「溫頓少校知道我嗎？有在雜誌上看過我嗎？」希文公主說完站起身，開始在附近走起台步。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMwBh9tMUc
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw0PMIdgCs
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsGBHawVor
「知道，殿下是模特兒。」大葆士回答，猜謎他可從來沒輸過。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZq2HphtCH
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ro3WRRxsz
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudhHcQ4hBD
「哇！好開心喔！」希文公主甩動淡亞麻色的波浪大捲髮：「那你覺得我漂亮嗎？」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK06E05yc2o
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbRArkTAAn
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP4M7bWCRp
「殿下非常漂亮。」大葆士沒有多想的附和。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvExDV6uDE6
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD49wQIbUbS
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zm1MCmvGU
「真的嗎？可是你從剛才開始就沒有在看我啊！只是一直看著後面的樹！」希文公主說完來到大葆士旁邊，緊挨著他的腳邊蹲下並且仰頭望著他。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tpX3lWZfs
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV5C8Nch2R

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoafFE6jvB1
名貴茶壺從托盤上飛出，大葆士見狀立即伸出右手！魔方迅速從腕帶蔓延而出，眨眼間便構成一具機械手臂，在茶壺落地前及時接下！310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o71JIH6m1
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW2OzzvMhZ
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJfQ9STgN6
