翌日早晨，大葆士帶上行囊準備前往隆琴基地時，突然收到殿長的緊急通知！317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHUcgmxURa
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtPC86Ftal
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQilhqHs4YO
大葆士匆忙來到位於主殿的殿長辦公室。默儲殿長穿著簡易軍裝等著他。看樣子也是臨時收到消息，急忙換裝來到辦公室等候。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMvNS8Tfjx
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJUHViQEdc
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2yD4qmoIJ
「默儲殿長好！」大葆士行禮，默儲殿長回禮的同時禁不住地打了個呵欠，大葆士見狀瞇眼。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYVipDdeId
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbaQmDYCVt
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsski62aWHF
「殿長，發生什麼事了？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2A7hHxmlp
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiDBu3k1Hs
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT6M5ksEEz
「嗯……我還想讓你告訴我。」默儲殿長坐到沙發上。他微抬下巴示意大葆士坐到對面。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5IxMso94i
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxbF82zy6F
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoeAPKhTyp
大葆士照做，默儲殿長全程盯著他不說話。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaoMuiFO5N
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj32GFYHh7N
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSokz8Mnm0
「殿長，我不清楚該告訴您什麼。」大葆士皺眉，默儲殿長用食指撐起左臉的太陽穴。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQUYps6xIZ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaCH8sR3rA
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTQ4hfE2Xt
「這麼說吧，你昨天跟米洛與王室成員們私下聚會，這其實是要事先知會我的。」默儲殿長調整機械右眼焦距，好讓他更能看清楚大葆士。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXdr4LMKlb
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwZXkHqoKm
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZt2yGwfnz
「抱歉殿長，我不曉得必須跟您知會！」大葆士抿嘴：「昨晚我完全不知道王室會一同前來。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkUyMl7e7Q
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPegJ2Gpw5q
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoZhEJeMe0
「哼，潔珥也有去吧？米洛藉故帶你去放鬆，實際上是要私會亞莎侯爵之女。」默儲殿長不以為然：「他們的關係遲早會公開，屆時機擬員的防守區域會迎來大變動。你應該懂我的意思。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBh453ZSS9
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2fqNQLIfb
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrw05xzI9d
「米洛是盡責且強大的機擬員，我相信他不管到哪都會做好他的工作。」大葆士道。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqXwXS1f09
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH2wm725we
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvT2RoDzJf
「是啊。」默儲殿長露出意味深長的微笑：「大葆士，你有成家的打算嗎？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGZsyQwWBY
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z2Rw4xXa4
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduVBdu8NI8
「……沒有這個打算。」大葆士看著默儲殿長：「我應該要有嗎？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx6yWMdZew
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVe10Ulwzs
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrKfBepxlm
「以一位慈祥老爺爺的看法，我希望你兒孫滿堂。」默儲殿長眨動機械假眼，發出「喀嚓」聲：「然而，若是以一位鐵血上司的立場，我希望你永遠都不要成家。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMQdxSBXFh
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsWxRbLsax
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w3p3pniKH
「我會以您衷情的角色做出選擇。」大葆士道，默儲殿長嘴角勾起。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbBnHrHlxd

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuOR3Q05Ly
「你跟巴特夫很像。你倆是我唯二會相信，做出的判斷或決定必定是對人類有益的。」默儲殿長拿起茶壺倒茶：「所以我相信你能處理接下來的情況。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MMc99oB2r
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg98J2ippu0
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n8WVlDei1
「什麼情況？」大葆士接過殿長倒給他的紅茶。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMR8NGkcXG
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpmF9BQalO
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3NYuZoywp
「威卡漢大王子讓你待會到柏金漢宮一趟，他有事情必須當面跟你說。」殿長凝視大葆士，後者停頓兩秒後，舉杯輕啜紅茶。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIdSyfQUwR
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROVDxMR1RV
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iqgvJ26hF
「大王子殿下有說原因嗎？」大葆士放下茶杯，默儲殿長瞇眼。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6SYCq3GP2
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsobE8WauuN
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowFHmtzgmX
「他希望你自己去聽原因。」默儲殿長雙手交疊放在膝蓋上：「我聽說昨晚你跟希文發生了一些事，很有可能這就是原因。」 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE6gs5KjdJ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBd5LecuQh
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb3StlYIhl
「我以為已經解決了。」大葆士蹙眉：「並不是什麼大事。如果是希望我給一句回覆，那麼便是『好的，我原諒她，但是不會發展下去。』」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFn6i8okmB
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vTQHmh5Pm
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG4pCnp42t
「你是要我直接拿你這句話，當作給大王子的交代？」默儲殿長笑了：「我可不是你的傳話筒，大葆士。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcdBY1pzGQ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7vV58M3Xy
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pJtFYKOWi
「我認為現在有比去皇宮更加優先的事。」大葆士嚴肅地看著默儲殿長：「文蔻上尉已經在『隆琴基地』待了兩個月。為了讓她更快熟悉其他基地的情況，我現在就要啟程前往交接。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9tTdX1wgv
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQoJqgYyLS
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w2d024xxO
「是什麼讓你認為大王子的命令不該優先？」默儲殿長聞言沉下臉：「儘管王室是布列斯托的名義領導人，但她們代表著布列斯托，是僅次『歡鴿』的象徵。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnm0pIRMeu
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkvrUnL9nt
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ag5FIsoxh
「蟲洞出現不過百年，你就要否定王室千年以來的存在？布列斯托若想挺過這場異獸浩劫，永存世上，不能只仰賴軍隊奮戰，而是必須結合布列斯托一切具有意義的力量，戰鬥到底！」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxFAM7BpHG
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xbGLyPC83
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5FemLYK7F
大葆士沉默不語，默儲殿長喝了口茶。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECFzw8xVhU
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQMNiBvMzZ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1LQZh0Hku
「只要是跟王室有關的任何事，都必須謹慎應對。」默儲殿長放下茶杯：「你要處理好。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLFMoLP5Sz
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyIq7us7sY
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqlTO9BN3L
「我明白了。」大葆士站起身，向默儲殿長行禮：「我會盡快解決這件事，繼續執行任務。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrlm05V73W
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScWLhxKr7V
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7geuarMldM
「『隆琴基地』讓洋煦交接，你接下來到『雷鳴航母』協助伍斯樂進行升級兩星期，去吧。」默儲殿長道，大葆士領命後離開。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Apuy4hQpR

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2JEmistbZ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZuXqxOVeh
大葆士在主殿迴廊上等了一段時間。眼見大門緊閉，前往通知的門衛遲遲不見人影，大葆士一度有掉頭離開的打算。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E2nQYQczj
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGfQNAtTll
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vp6Lylrxw
正當他準備轉動腳踝離開時，大門開了。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSPG9D1lsQ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz8pgBTei5
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN44SYJiqO
「請進，攻無不克的荊心騎士大人！」站在門邊的門衛大聲宣唱大葆士的名號和來到。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNukPXb7gd
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrw292RQgP
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgccDzLb3J
大葆士踏入大殿。身著一襲剪裁合身的高雅西裝，體態強健結實的威卡漢大王子就站在台上的王椅旁，一路看著大葆士在階前單膝下跪。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHedd1ocUjC
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKevhGqqoXw
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAoamh2Z9N
「起來吧。」威卡漢露出淺笑，大葆士站起身。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbH42MmDiH
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcZ9ZF2SRt
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jD9JpuVUf
「我已經請人備好早餐了，我們到側殿那邊吧。」大王子道：「抱歉讓你等了一下，畢竟你跟照片的樣子完全不一樣，警衛那邊花了不少時間確認。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqCFpcebeJ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC72o6x0roN
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW32PKHYUeA

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vVDCs9Na9
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43ToAFOY3D
大葆士同威卡漢大王子來到王室用餐的側殿。只見長桌上擺滿豐盛佳餚，甚至有一大籃的精緻漢堡！317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED5wY5ljQG
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmdOOoczyC
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKgh5DgObH
大葆士盯著用料高級的御廚漢堡，視線無法離開。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM17s6CtPRB
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFI8aLzBZu
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ax39t51Ld
「我聽說你非常喜歡吃漢堡，所以請廚師特製一些。」大王子笑道：「儘管吃吧，好吃的話我再請廚師做給你。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsBi95TfLN
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xlMz9tEhJ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jake8gnPx
「謝謝殿下，這些漢堡非常漂亮！」大葆士捨不得挪開視線，威卡漢大王子見狀微笑。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqPDOP7w7H
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fJF9j2wmj
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea69wlpgz4
「是這樣的，少校。自從騎士受封大典過後，小女艾雀時不時對我提起你，她認為你是一位很獨特出眾的男士。」威卡漢大王子收起笑容。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhuVNxsVbZ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkvJAFvMOp
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IPQij5t39
「非常謝謝艾雀殿下的讚美。」大葆士夾了五個漢堡到盤中。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU8KqkgwjH
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfX04bdIzs
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLucnN1Onp
「同時間，溫莎大公也面臨跟我一樣的情況；他的寶貝愛女希文也不停向他詢問關於你的事。」威卡漢大王子看著大葆士，後者停了一下，然後又若無其事的夾漢堡。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtQy24akSC
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYFG3SzDaK
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ0o7KvwR5
「依舊非常謝謝兩位公主的讚美。」大葆士道：「軍中還有很多比我更加傑出優秀的前輩，公主若有機會認識，相信能交到更多更棒的朋友。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeuolClAtK
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4GMWNulhX
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsPUTi2xpy
「少校你太謙虛了，機擬員不是誰都可以認識的。」威卡漢大王子道：「還是說，少校認為艾雀並非是適合結交的對象？」他話鋒一轉問道，大葆士挑眉。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mGjBaTkZ3
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1XMx4a8Qj
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd8DWPxxnl
「艾雀殿下聰明和善，是全體國民公認的文雅公主。殿下顯然多慮了。」大葆士笑道，威卡漢吃起刀叉上的肉塊。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC3EXkXWKA
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrn5kIZsIt
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAbf4XX2bP
「艾雀雖然是我最小的孩子，但是她很有主見，很多事都可以自己打點好，我完全不擔心她往後的人生規劃。」吞下肉塊後，威卡漢道：「她曾交過三名男友，也因此出版三本書。我很怕她會出版一整櫃的書，幸好沒有。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWjMmxmkfv
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHfEbkJVve
「那三名男孩都是她年紀尚輕，對感情還沒有一定認知時結交的。而艾雀也在這三段戀情中汲取經驗成長。」威卡漢正色道：「現在她已經成年了，感情對她來說不再是兒戲，而是終身大事。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKXBb40hpj
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDFMqrPc7y

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPhLTPbImO
「我稍微看了你的資料，你父親是防護員，官拜上尉，逝世後由祖父母扶養長大。」大王子道：「祖父是蘭基宅邸聘雇的園丁，祖母則是聘僱廚師。你們一家跟蘭基家族雖是主僕關係，但你跟麥考夫 ‧ 蘭基的獨子巴特夫非常要好，會以兄弟相稱。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1AlHgy9YP
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd3TCfVQdo
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD04WEBVtr
「是的。」大葆士點頭。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VnQLxOQUK
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNESQIu49iB
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ws8QZt172
「然而你在 11 歲時先後失去祖父母。由於生母在你 2 歲時簽訂放棄扶養權，所以你之後被安排到我國的『失親孩童收留中心』，在那裡生活。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimMabRVqQN

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcYfrxxn72
「你沒有接受正規教育，跟巴特夫一樣在家自學。團體化訓練和與同儕建立關係都從巴特夫身上學習。」大王子道：「但是因為你非常聰明，所以不管學什麼都上手，也能融會貫通並加以延伸應用。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGfnTAzZFg
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg1sj1LOlE

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0OM31iArp
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQp25Z2iVH
「是的，你們都是年輕有為的傑出軍官，是布列斯托引以為傲的牆壁。」大王子認同：「不過有件事讓我好奇，你十歲那年跟祖父離開蘭星莊園獨自在外居住。據我所知，你們似乎是搬到歡鴿城人口較為複雜的地帶。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSiMknUTla
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwX870X1QM
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi3weHGfga

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkczFfTci6l
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkMX7tZ6I0
「……祖父因為沒有辦法走出失去祖母的陰霾，所以整日酗酒。」大葆士同樣一動也不動地看著大王子：「我無法再從祖父那裡獲得親情，在他眼裡我只是一副沒有意義的肉塊。我們雖然住在同一屋簷下，但生活完全沒有交集。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSghqlgkXhB
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXY0f79CSD
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqDnNrJlZ2

317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxTeXUo86l
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5SggekCCp
「沒有誤會，確實是因為我犯錯才導致關係惡化。」大葆士輕搖頭，表情柔和起來：「能請問殿下為何問起我的背景？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DREHf89s7
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpEEmgMpk8
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcXDDBMMtH
