暴雨伴隨著夜幕降臨王國已經有十來日了。雷聲與閃電不甘示弱，一聲聲雷鳴讓人震耳欲聾。如水晶般透徹的雨珠大滴大滴地砸向玻璃窗，狂風在外頭咆哮，彷彿下一秒便能將窗戶擊個粉碎。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24dYZzhDOd
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsWlkj56XK
伊德里爾的寢宮裡僅有的光源只剩床頭櫃的上的圓形檯燈，米黃色的微光默默奉獻著它的光芒。除了照亮平常睡覺的那一側外，其餘的地方全像是被刷上了黑色油漆，無法看清。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5KRNs2KGY
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3t1iJAbY8
「哈啊……」伊德里爾換完白色連身裙睡衣，坐在梳妝台前將置於胸前的髪辮解開，隨後走向窗台把窗簾唰的一聲拉上。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBeZrpxEdx
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeJX6Xgjse
恐懼──是與生俱來的一種心理反應，並且在人類的七情六欲中佔有一席之地。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUjAVbabMV
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcoKU6hB0y
當然……精靈族也不例外。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUCBZ6FPAy
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCajRGzLV2A
轟隆！236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvYEq3MXt9
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF72wo5nWs4
一道閃電劃破了夜色帷幕，光亮轉瞬即逝。而炸雷的聲響卻嚇得伊德里爾如膽小的老鼠般竄進厚重的被子裡。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfegWGjSqlw
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLP20o0kgR
在被窩的保護之下，伊德里爾能減少雷聲對自己的傷害。雖然精靈的尖耳相較於人類更為靈敏，但也十分脆弱。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE7biqbCrn
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGsnjdb6T4
伊德里爾將被子牢牢裹住自己，只露出一顆頭再度朝窗戶的方向看去。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT39s9bllW
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWaerRSXE4
似曾相似的情景在伊德里爾的腦中浮現──猛烈的大雨、響徹雲霄的轟雷、混亂的步伐、刺耳的金屬碰撞聲。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqifKpoRsk
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGx3ViUJwY
伊德里爾用顫抖的雙手摀住兩耳，弓起腿，將整張臉埋進了雙腿間。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYV4ciHwLs
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDGQ5JYdIS
她以為她已經忘了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGmvg5lL5u
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1bhAziUPQ
長壽對她來說如同攀附在全身的荊棘，而記憶就像是荊棘上的刺，兩者的共同點是──伊德里爾都沒辦法輕易擺脫。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnaqcwfjTt
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6mBdVH1D2
好不容易找到了自己的容身之處，是一個和出生地相似、和平又幸福的國家。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEa13uecm1
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBQLgCxKCh
可過去經歷的場景每日每夜、不厭其煩地造訪伊德里爾。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnKsX55WG0
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUPrs2Oeo3
曾經侍奉過最終卻毀滅的王國在夢裡化作一場戲無止境地再演，夢魘伸出無數隻手將她束縛在前排的位子，令無法動彈的伊德里爾痛不欲生。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPCzPuQGDm
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL203x939Y4
「絕不能重蹈覆轍，我一定要守護好王國。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbPMDfBZ6I
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNEOg1wFNy
這句話是在伊德里爾成為王國的祭司之前，於心中發過的誓言。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeqywB2Xjt
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2WST5mcfr
咿呀……236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3JrriQVyQ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48D6lozmbC
伊德里爾的耳朵抽動了一下，聽見似乎有人悄悄地推開了大門。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWGiIR8T49
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8KbV4zG1O
「是誰？」伊德里爾連忙將被子撫平，將它覆蓋於腰上。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawuuUryVl3
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJEb6FSb14
片刻，從暗處緩緩現身的是──端著熱茶的阿特里奇。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBohBkB1KE
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iq5WKXm0g
「打擾您休息十分抱歉。」阿特里奇將托盤輕放於床頭櫃上。「王后殿下要我替您送來。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HrwHZ75ty
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0wYtQslGZ
伊德里爾眼底閃過一絲驚訝。她以為在今早的茶會上，自己已經成功瞞過王后殿下連續好幾天徹夜未眠的事情。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxirNo8DRQo
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0eWEFAwD4
不過從白瓷茶杯飄散出來的薰衣草香可知──她失敗了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJvNGgkX71
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOBENDiwO7
「代我向王后殿下道謝。還有，也謝謝妳。」伊德里爾偏頭，給了阿特里奇一個欣慰的笑容。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUNoNv08h0
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEDYOR0YqB
阿特里奇頜首，不過卻沒有立即離開的意思，赤瞳仍然直勾勾地盯著伊德里爾。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0XcAbgwWn
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw2jJO1Qer
「怎麼了？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpNhJDlvL8
「王后殿下要我親眼看著您把茶喝完。」阿特里奇將茶杯移到伊德里爾面前。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uuwGLRNj3
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvwNhOD2ea
伊德里爾一怔，兩手接過捧起茶杯，一邊噘嘴把熱煙吹散一邊嘟囔「我又不是小孩子……」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhv0I0zD0j
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr7rXgglMn
鼻子湊近杯緣一聞，草香沿著鼻腔進入，散發著一股沁人心脾的芳香。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1p1FBtcWm
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtLu3zYica
緊接著抬高杯緣緩緩飲下，杯中的液體輕輕地從咽喉滑入胃，讓伊德里爾緊繃的神經得以放鬆下來。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSmntDnZe9
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnGtkKrhND
自接過茶杯後，阿特里奇的兩隻眼睛未曾離開過伊德里爾，像是耐心等候飼主下一步動作的小狗。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySXTDhYeWy
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCOIzw3j63
伊德里爾把飲盡後的杯底展現給一旁站直的白色大型犬看。「喝完了。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fcBuN78be
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo86wHRTMz8
阿特里奇輕點頭，正想取回茶杯時──236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrexXeKcKlQ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ767uhF3ynF
轟隆！236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmprwSa09X
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpmsdG1UFA
又是一聲足以驚天動地的雷響，雨也更大了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJDpZaHFpc
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SiOqlbDgd
「嗚……」伊德里爾反射性把耳朵再次覆住，嚇得連白瓷茶杯也顧不得。正當要直落地面時，阿特里奇即時接住了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcACvJCOLQ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDSGHbic1r
阿特里奇將茶杯擺回茶碟，立馬問道：「您沒事？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYyBj480bt
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneg07DzUzz
「我、我沒事……」與她說的話截然不同──伊德里爾緊閉雙眼，肩膀微微顫抖。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqcbfYDyKF
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl7D6gWn5i
「您害怕打雷？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiZD8NeTPg
「……才沒有。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kL27dHOj2
「您在發抖。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ3sI7zKMw
「只、只是被嚇到了……！」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW0XW5io2j
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRawAoozD7
出於維持形象以及想要趕緊驅散逐漸上浮的羞恥感，伊德里爾做出了與平常些微不同的應答。只不過阿特里奇不以為意。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sfVZLD4tv
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2RgDRRt7C
「擁有害怕的事物並不需要感到丟臉。」阿特里奇單膝跪地，仰望伊德里爾。「容我多嘴再問一遍，您沒事嗎？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IKJB6QT7F
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQcA5ALLOJ
伊德里爾撐開眼皮，恰好對上了阿特里奇火紅的雙瞳，彷彿急迫地尋求問題的答案。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi4qjj0QnB
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gls8kOGnp
「……不。」伊德里爾隱藏在體內深處的字句撬開了唇逃了出來。「我……我很害怕……」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJH8EsqVFI
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08xolSgdvm
語畢，阿特里奇閉上眼像是在思考什麼，最後一邊說著「失禮了」一邊坐到伊德里爾左側。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCweTvyqhab
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiYNd6ze18
隨後，阿特里奇有些肢體不協調地伸手穿過伊德里爾的腰際，輕輕擁住了她。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2AMjWSh3q
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yh2p9VvBj
「阿、阿特里奇……？」伊德里爾被這一系列的行為給愣住了，一時半會兒不敢輕舉妄動。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma65krF9Gp
「這是我聽公主殿下說最適合紓解壓力和情緒的方法。」阿特里奇小心翼翼地收回手。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dPQJxjJR3
「這是我第一次這麼做……應該沒有弄痛您才是。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwNstkhMIA
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtFVVVznBB
「噗……哈哈……！」伊德里爾掩住嘴笑著，眼角甚至冒出了些許淚水。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5EkE31m9j
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M94RlK8Pw
「伊德里爾大人？您在笑什麼？」阿特里奇面露疑惑，貌似對於伊德里爾越笑越高興感到不解。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgDlQ3fM5Z
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg37HvasJr6
「哈哈……呼──」伊德里爾長舒一口氣，用食指抹去眼淚。「謝謝妳阿特里奇，我感覺好多了。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDW4neamr1
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMhS7svAyA
「能替您消除壓力那當然是最好，那麼我先回房……」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09S6mYtYYo
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXPqjIxjI9
「等等。」伊德里爾握住正要站起的阿特里奇的手。「夜也深了，要不妳今天就在我這裡休息吧？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi3Bu90BmR
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMekMgCfoC8
「這個……」阿特里奇感覺被握著的手力道越來越大，而做出此舉的人笑意更深。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOFotgaD6Q
「我明白了。不過……」阿特里奇瞥了一眼梳妝台的木製椅子。「我睡在那就夠了。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkOJVkIxX0
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ5pV3c9BP
伊德里爾眉梢下垂，像是一隻惹人憐愛的小貓。「不睡床上嗎？待會可能還有雷聲唷？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBN1YG6gKk
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxa8OHlvU6
伊德里爾明白現在的狀況就像一位任性的小孩向母親索取想要的東西，只不過扮演母親的角色並不是自己，而是眼前撇頭不肯望向自己的白髮騎士。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuCOfA0vTa
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KY3hCe2Jx
「……您就別胡鬧了。」阿特里奇從伊德里爾的手上脫離掌控，將椅子拉近床邊後坐下。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLySOn50J5
而後，阿特里奇又朝伊德里爾伸出右手。「請容我用這種方式代替擁抱陪著您。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9M3g23A6a
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvFlDWWJ0z
「我會待在這裡、待在您身旁，直到您安心入眠為止。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwZXxduRIf
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cBZHGRaxB
伊德里爾眨了眨眼，並把手掌輕覆於阿特里奇的。挪動身子平躺於床舖，最後闔上雙眼。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFmDEdU6zQ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKERuvQ337
這份單純而直率的溫柔，任誰都不會想輕易放手的吧。伊德里爾在內心笑了笑。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssXIXStoH1
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMoCuPOUa3
那日，是伊德里爾有史以來睡得最安穩的一天。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMksCjkPnq
