另一方面，沙卡美不知為何回到過去，回到她十歲左右的時光。她綁著馬尾，穿著橙黃色舞裙在人來人往的宴會中穿梭。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSAlVc7juc
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91hhpra53d
宴會裏聚集了許多名門貴族，他們受國王邀請大吃大喝，心裏都怕酒裏下了毒。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerXdx32hpN
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbRDb7JkqJ
沙卡美提著裙子繞過賓客，卻撞到某位老人的屁股。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jnPmydt9M
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLGxqg19Lx
「啊！抱 - 抱歉！」沙卡美慌忙向老人鞠躬。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCdmDlDCMB
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgw9YeDoZz
圍著放滿佳餚圓桌，臉看不清的老人轉身看著沙卡美：「哎喲！這不是沙卡美公主嗎？公主殿下要去哪裏？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjhv5PY0Uy
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y9A9hI3vH
「我 - 我只是想找父王。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDUyK3dDxd
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC4YAHrWCX
正當沙卡美想問老人有沒有頭緒時，一隻粗糙的手放在她肩膀上。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlPdrpPG1z
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoBneRNsAV
「國、國王陛下！」老人和其他貴族向著她背後的人單膝下跪。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pH3HZAkbu
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bN9aCfpPw
「吾女做了甚麼失禮之事嗎？」國王用一貫嚴肅的語氣問。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ3L1hSbKu
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUjMIYV9kD
「沒、沒有！是小人 -」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlMZNlCIIH
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzRirzTYhz
沙卡美向國王行禮：「參 - 參見父王！」她低著頭不敢直視他。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhsxKHWJvf
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAe3rCYKM4
國王撫摸她的頭：「我的女兒啊，第一次來這種場合太緊張嗎？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMfu4jI2kh
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE3Cr9sDO8
「不 - 不是！我 - 我 -」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I79mrRvEY
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWklXIEwv5
「不必多言。」國王抱起沙卡美：「各位，請盡情享受。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLxYQp8adW
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajif5Ays0d
「謝國王陛下！」貴賓們待國王走遠後才鼓起勇氣繼續暢談。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtEfhcEaeC
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ5E6G8fTZ
「父 - 父王，剛才的確是我 -」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQrrKDxVuY
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNGSSsEXhe
「不是叫妳不必多言嗎？」國王走出王宮陽台：「我的女兒啊，那裏的人都不是真心尊敬我和妳，他們只是怕得罪我而人頭落地。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6da1zZX9e
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGQjBfqxbW
陽台外的景色被一層白霧擋住，沙卡美也看不見父王的雙眼。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZA6UuHsMg
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uld9kT275
「但我真心愛妳，妳是我在世上唯一可以透露真心的人。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxbRHwLr5k
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXKV57G54L
國王笑著輕輕搖晃沙卡美，沙卡美不知如何反應。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV4oQ54Wo3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn9MKzjZJU
「父王......父王......」沙卡美說著夢話，不知黎明已到來。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsjAqKMm8s
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nHtsCzNH6
貝吏刻唐在床邊觀察她微苦的臉龐，有點於心不忍。
但為了不打擾沙卡美休息，他背靠牆邊靜候沙卡美醒來。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVf3uXWaXH
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKoxefBIvi
「父王......不要走......」她這句話苦得使人心碎。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZwb3KThkj
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7zMKoDybb
沙卡美自己也覺得很矛盾，明明想人民生活美滿，卻一直包庇無惡不作的父王，父王駕崩後又困在陰霾當中。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAmVvFwdcq
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6JGx8nDqK
「父王！」她驚醒過來，方才察覺那是一場夢。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv6ZLhuqtm
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbODkny9m9
「女皇陛下，是時候享用早餐了。」貝吏刻唐在床邊彎腰。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GIjaxTj3O
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbureHx37oY
沙卡美揉揉眼睛：「貝弟弟，已經早上了嗎？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEcLHDXGQT
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveDDa3iFlb
「沒錯。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVWyb2Q2hg
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyB8ZmLKrZ
「貝弟弟先出去，朕要更衣。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN4di0oivj
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbp1qHAX6g
「遵命，女皇陛下。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbAJMR3dyv
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBkNv5w41S
貝吏刻唐和小娜都不明白為何沙卡美會被「某種東西」佔據，仍然能正常運用魔力。黑色魔力明明會令人神智崩潰，但沙卡美除了行事作風改變外都很正常。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EIVEo0kDZ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQiHbyNTr6
感覺女皇不再是公主的貝吏刻唐，待沙卡美梳洗後伴隨她到飯廳。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrLeBVsIrV
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJxKyv9AdZ
皇宮裏的官員、僕人等等昨天已知悉女皇被尋獲的消息，昨天在外冒雨拜訪人民的士兵和軍官們可能有私下跟平民們說。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zkWEZAIbk
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX0RPuS5u1
「女皇陛下，這是今天的早膳。」女僕在沙卡美旁邊說。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs77aVhP67d
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH92PJ7NIWd
「雞胸肉、麵包、蘋果和牛奶，朕很久也沒有吃過如此豐富的早膳了。」沙卡美拿起刀叉。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uWUGnlKal
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBXaY28lYf
貝吏刻唐坐在她對面一起用膳，雖說食不言是基本禮儀，但貝吏刻唐有些話想問沙卡美。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcuJMCeRGq
他用刀卸下插在叉上的麵包後放下刀叉：「女皇陛下。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlH8xSwZGn
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvBTLabw0y
剛要喝口牛奶的沙卡美聽見他發問，溫和地收手：「貝弟弟，早膳時間不應該說話。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf24cpLij2H
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjduTRCVBb0
「但我有些事想在上朝前問女皇陛下。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNWgAy1K8g
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprtCkSmJJn
「甚麼事？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQzZ0W7yMM
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr2TVkEV2I
「女皇陛下之後有甚麼打算？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw3TNoy73z
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyjPNy8vvZ
沙卡美揮手示意女僕和守衛離開，待房間只剩他和貝吏刻唐後回應：「貝弟弟想問的是朕想暪著所有人做甚麼吧？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTaJMxJd3Q
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPlZEEf62I
「女皇陛下英明。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nLpSCwuT0
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifPX6a3nma
「朕想找出潛伏在朕身邊的細作。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOoah4A3wH
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqeIgHOLSA
「細作？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVeYsLEZIF
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlsryVO3xR
「沒錯。約一年半前，朕去山多牧場時不是被伏擊了嗎？朕問過斯斯，她說那羣刺客的確是聯邦派遣的，但得知朕會在那個時候經過該處的情報來源不明。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQSIdjbCie
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgKzr3Z7x9
「女皇陛下沒有跟我說過此事。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZoFluMFdP
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWtI5Sbgeq
「當時朕還在學如何當一個好皇帝，沒有時間處理，朕只告訴了利華特。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pW5qh8lo7
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNI7T2KXO5
「細作不是應該首先處理的問題嗎？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWRDpCUkux
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAufMesRG9
沙卡美舉起杯喝了一口牛奶：「朕去山多牧場一事朕只有向數個人說過，他們都跟隨朕一段時間，甚麼時候處理都已經太遲。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3TFpwA2o3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizqg3IQJpd
沙卡美接著說：「貝弟弟很清楚朕指哪幾個人吧？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN7dhzMY48
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCe6o5wPkv
「塔瑪、歐法、迪斯普、哈芙、小娜、利華特、我。」具吏刻唐慎重地說出這七個名字。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIYan30HQO
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXiIaPUv9G
「貝弟弟果然很聰明。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjb6Opxd9f
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5XoQ9uEvP
「女皇陛下該不會在懷疑我和小娜吧？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQc64OXi3P
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlawUO1hSs
「不是。雖然你們是當時唯二不在場的人，你們也不會蠢到背叛朕。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht4u5dVGCy
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz8O4ZQRV5
「那麼女皇陛下懷疑的是......」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAOUjzGRsf
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SZZS50vFp
「暗影守衛團的四人。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJr5T8Moxh
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH44FNrfvDi
「利華特呢？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZXDW3ibS4
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsV3yJt4dM
「利華特沒有背叛朕的理由。他是異世界人，當時的他怎會認為與帝國為敵是好選擇？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhNCggglHK
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3wiZ5HhuR
「明白。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVRGSQmo4y
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTtRtiJJEl
「因此，貝弟弟，朕希望你去找他們談談，政務朕會自行處理。找出細作後就地處決。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs8DtUc35Q
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBhzma72gM
貝吏刻唐瞪大眼睛：「就地處決？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhRtb7pDmZ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7cIxw5dpH
「欺騙朕的人，朕不想再看多一眼。處決後把屍體掉到河裏。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTXop0eJOS
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaQr7jm5Ys
「不用審問嗎？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0GYoLCzX3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBD9EVOJFq
「審問？貝弟弟的意思是給機會他逃走嗎？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuPNEhRf2y
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1xMDVrd5y
「不是。我只是擔心如此強硬的手法會在那時候遭到另外三人強烈反對，他們現在都有魔力。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9jHrYkdUs
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABuA06qebm
「他們現在也殺不了朕，所以朕現在才想找出叛國賊。貝弟弟，這個任務不要跟小娜說。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2AG8Zw6fH
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iWNXu25Lp
「為甚麼？她會樂意幫忙的。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRYvajDFq8
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89cpM0UyHU
「朕怕她承受不了，然後又發生之前的事。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ay1wIiQYv
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFm6qrG9X7
「遵命。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEKmMhJpDU
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pOQAS7yPU
「貝弟弟，上朝後陪朕回房間。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeq5evMiIm
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC18mCFnvnN
「為甚麼？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMPoG7fczr
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlCNJGGSAT
沙卡美沒有回答，兩人靜靜吃完早餐便到內殿上朝。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HUHkTE1Hn
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDBqhR3nwL
沙卡美坐在皇位上，貝吏刻唐站於其左。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3p6HImNQ3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojYwcY7w2h
先前因曼賈襲擊造成的損害已經由小娜用魔法修補，大臣們都能站在兩旁等候上奏。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Aa5X515La
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QHYXOBeVW
大臣們都用恐懼的眼神看著沙卡美，他們總覺得她與「失蹤」之前是截然不同的人。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgdOg52Fds
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxpfabohPb
「眾大臣有事項要稟報嗎？」沙卡美雙手放在皇椅兩側扶手。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs5toOUFDs
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCizwwfUeD
一位站在最前列，年邁的大臣走到台階前方彎腰：「女皇陛下，小人先抒發自己對女重陛下歸來的欣喜。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKPdYcnJez
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKecqlBheF
「之後呢？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSBXJ2q6n0
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDs83RXXSa
「稟女皇陛下，目前商業區一片死寂，帝都的收入激減。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDht4xbPcp
