史登尼斯王子的房间在城堡的最深处,这里无论何时都至少有两名全副武装的骑士守卫,以防刺王者出没。矮人风格的建筑内部都很昏暗,没有窗户,唯一的光源是日夜不息的长明蜡烛。两个牛角蜡烛像两把剑一样交错在一起,固定在墙壁上。史登尼斯王子穿着盔甲,在房间内来回踱步。听到开门声时,他立刻停了下来,两手背在身后,盯着门口。„Witcher.”Helooks atZelin. „Istheyhiresyouto killmy? Hiresyouranothercolleagueto killmy fatherlikesomepeople?”
“狩魔猎人。”他看着走进来的泽林。“是他们雇佣你来杀我的吗?就像有人雇佣你的另一个同僚来杀死我的父亲?”„Of course not, your majesty, Ibring the means of solving the problem.”Zelinputs out a hand. „Serfsthink that youplotted to murder the deityto sendto savetheirsaintesses, but ifyoucanstand, savingQiwas elegant, the rumornaturallycancollapse of itself. PeoplehonorBaissaQito be elegantfrantically, youandhestand, the Aedirnpeoplewill also followyouwillingly.”
“当然不是,陛下,我只是带来一个解决问题的办法。”泽林伸出手。“农奴们认为你谋害了天神派来拯救他们的圣女,但如果你可以站出来,拯救萨琪雅,谣言自然会不攻自破。人们狂热的崇拜萨琪雅,你和他站在一起,亚甸的人民也会心甘情愿的追随你。”„What did youhearthemto say? Theywantmyhead!

Even ifIdid, redundanta few words that theystillspeakto keep, washistoryascendsNiceto poisonQito be elegant, theironlydesirethisresult, otherwill look but not see.”
“你听到他们说什么吗?他们要我的脑袋!他们拿那些乡村傻子的话和我相提并论。他们以为我是什么人?我是亚甸王位的继承人,这片土地的正统统治者,德马温和沃夫利的直系后裔。”史登尼斯有些愤怒,声音中带着某种难以置信。“你怎么可以把我放在仆人的位置上?任由那些傻子说什么,我就要做什么?我没有任何义务和必要去为他们做任何事情。就算我做了,他们也会不停的重复一句话,就是史登尼斯毒害了萨琪雅,他们只想要这个结果,其他的都会视而不见。”„ButQiindeedwas poisonedelegantly, but she urgently neededhelp, onlyneeds your drop of bloodnow, Prince, cansaveher. Althoughsomepeoplewill also shout, butmost peoplewill not believethemagain.”
“但是萨琪雅的确中毒了,而她现在急需帮助,只需要您的一滴血,王子殿下,就可以救活她。虽然有些人还会叫嚷,但大部分人都不会再相信他们。”„Then? Ido not helpher, will others killme? Is thisextorts?”
“然后呢?我不帮助她,其他人就会杀了我?这是勒索吗?”„Thisis only a proposition, Your highness. Mydesirehelp, is not only helpsQibe elegant, is helpingyou.”
“这只是一项提议,殿下。我想要帮忙,不仅是帮助萨琪雅,也是在帮你。”„Thisis an invalidproposition, youare ridiculingmesimply.”
“这是一项无效的提议,你简直是在嘲笑我。”„First, Your highness, no oneknows that theirindictmentwhetherreal, PastorOaleKangwas very likelyto participate inthismurder, but the serfwitnesssaid,youonceconspiredin the kitchenwithPastorOaleKang.”
“首先,殿下,谁也不知道他们的指控是否是真的,欧尔康牧师极有可能参与了这场谋杀,而有一名农奴证人说,您曾经和欧尔康牧师在厨房里密谋。”„This is really a stupidissue, Witcher. Ihave not certainly participated inanyplot, evenhas, youthink that Iwill acknowledge?”HistoryascendsNiceto stretch out the arms, asked. „Don't be a fool, thiswas impossible. Imusttellyou, Witcher, Iwill not bowtoanyrioter, certainly not! Theyneed such virulentrumorto stabto surroundmyresidence.

Theseidiotfarmersalsoreallythink were oneself a great person? Thisconcerns the Wang Family/princedignity, the royal family who does not have the dignity is also whatroyal family.”
“这真是个愚蠢的问题,狩魔猎人。我当然没有参与任何阴谋,就算是有,你认为我会承认吗?”史登尼斯张开双臂,反问道。“别傻了,这根本不可能。我要告诉你,狩魔猎人,我不会向任何暴民低头,绝不!他们只是需要这样恶毒的谣言中伤来包围我的住所。你真觉得只要每次有一个白痴村民说:‘是王子做的!’,我就要站出来澄清一次,为自己辩解一次?还要走出去乞求他们的原谅?不可能!这些白痴农夫还真以为自己是个大人物了?这关乎王家尊严,一个没有尊严的王族还算什么王族。”„Iremember,in the ancient timeskinghad an outstandingquality, wastheirdaringstandsin the balcony in castle, togathering the crowd in in the citysquaregave the speech. Convincedyourpeopleto believeyou, matter that will not lose the dignity.”Zelinwieldedstarting. „Youhappen tocanseize the chanceto show, you are an outstandingking.”
“我记得,古代国王有一个优秀的品质,就是他们敢于站在城堡的阳台上,向聚集在城镇广场上的人群发表演讲。说服你的子民相信你,根本不是会丢失尊严的事情。”泽林挥了下手。“你正好可以趁机证明,你将会是一个优秀的国王。”„But ifIam pure, actuallylacks the evidence?”HistoryascendsNicerapidsaying. „You, sincesaid that youarehelpmy, thatconvincedthem, convincespeopleto believe that Iwas pure, youwill not regretto do this.”
“但如果我是清白的,却缺乏证据呢?”史登尼斯急促的说道。“你既然说你是来帮助我的,那就去说服他们啊,去说服人们相信我是清白的,你不会后悔这样做的。”„Iseek for the truth, Your highness.”Zelinshakes the head. „ButIdo not make the truth. Ifyouare not willingto goto talkwithpeople, certificateis pure, thatalsopleasehelponegroup of Qibe elegant. Ihave heard, in the Wraithdense fog, issheis wielding the sword, savestogetheryouwithFeiliba.”
“我寻找真相,殿下。”泽林摇头。“但我不制造真相。如果您不愿意去和人们交谈,来证明清白,那也请帮一帮萨琪雅。我听说过,在妖灵迷雾中,是她挥着剑,和菲丽芭一起把你救出来的。”„Thatisherresponsibilityis, just likeanyAedirnperson, for the royal familypotencyisherglory. Also, whyIwill goto negotiatewithHenrySert, because ofherresponsibility.”Historyascends the voice of Niceto combine the disaffection. „Qiandherrebel armybeat the Wang Family/princearmyinRestatandwearsFenni, in fact, the Aedirnarmyhas not existed.”
“那是她的职责所在,和任何亚甸人一样,为王室效力是她的荣耀。再说了,我为什么会去和亨赛特谈判,就是因为她的责任。”史登尼斯的声音混杂着不满。“萨琪雅和她的叛军在古雷塔和戴分尼击溃了王家部队,实际上,亚甸军队已经不复存在了。”„Thereforeonly then the counter-rebel armycanhelpyoudefend the entrance, Your highness, otherwise the appetite of HenrySertkingnotonlylimited to Aedirn. Youshouldunderstand, HenrySertinnegotiations, so long asonAedirndoes not lookin you are in the share of successor, is not the bloodlineandfamily backgroundandacceptsanythingto educate, buthasthesefarmersto keep offbeforehim, protectsAedirn unable the destruction.”
“所以只有反叛军才能帮你守住国门,殿下,否则亨赛特王的胃口不会仅限于上亚甸。您应该明白一点,亨赛特在谈判中只要上亚甸不是看在您是继承人的份上,也不是血统、出身和接受过什么教育,而是有这些农夫挡在他面前,保护亚甸不会覆灭。”„Then? Let a bloodlinehumblepigturn into the king, assignsitssecretary of state?”
“然后呢?让一头血统低贱的猪变成国王,指定它的国务卿?”„Ihopeyoucanknow, yourbloodlinewill not bringmanyadvantagesin the war, butyouneedQito be elegant, although the rebel armydestroyed the Wang Family/princearmy, but when Aedirnwas invaded, theyare turning the headnow, cope with the invader, otherwiseHenrySertmustarrive atfort, put on the secondroyal crown, ormadeAedirn Kingdon the history.”
“我只是希望您能知道,您的血统在战争中不会带来多少优势,而你需要萨琪雅,叛军虽然摧毁了王家军队,但当亚甸遭到侵略的时候,他们现在正转过头来,对付侵略者,否则亨赛特就要到范格堡去,戴上第二个王冠了,或者让亚甸王国成为历史。”WhythisisZelindoes not likewith the reason that Noblehas to do, is not every Nobleis easyto be togetherlikeFoltest, ormakes the CapitalWang Family/princecourtaccept the civiliansto sue the Noblecase. Every yearsomepeople, becausetakes off one's hattooto be accusedto despise the Nobleauthorityslowly, was killedby the Nobleaide. Insometimes the ZelinveryhappyWitcherstandardarmordoes not have the helmet.
这正是为什么泽林不喜欢和贵族打交道的原因,不是每个贵族都像弗尔泰斯特那样容易相处,或者让首都的王家法庭接受平民起诉贵族的案子。每年都会有人因为脱帽太慢而被指控蔑视贵族权威,然后被贵族侍从打死。泽林有时候很高兴狩魔猎人的制式盔甲中没有头盔。„Moreover, Ihope that canremindyou, royal family'sbloodlineisinbornis stronger than the ordinary people, will not fall ill, that is all.”
“而且,我希望能提醒您,王族的血统是天生比平常人更强壮,不会生病,仅此而已。”„I am also redundant. Ido not owethisgirlanything. Even ifmustcompensatemylife, Itonot extortingto submit! Iwill maintain the honoredposture dead without a qualm. Iwill not hand over a drop of prince'sbloodto save a contadine. Aides!”
“那我也再重复一遍。我不欠这个女孩任何东西。就算要赔上我的命,我也不会向勒索屈服!我会保持尊贵的姿势从容就义。我绝不会交出一滴王家之血来拯救一个农家女。侍从!”Twoknightswalked.
门外两名骑士走了进来。„Your highness.”
“殿下。”„AskedWitcherto go out.”
“请狩魔猎人出去。”„Has problems, Your highness?”
“出了什么问题吗,殿下?”„No, IandWitchertalked, nowaskshimto go out, thismeetingended.”
“不,我和狩魔猎人交谈完了,现在请他出去,这场会面结束了。”Zelinsighed.泽林叹了口气。Henow a littleclearTatQi'selegantwordswerewhatmeaning.
他现在有点明白萨琪雅的话是什么意思了。Whenhegoes out of the roomtime, the castlehas becomeis chaotic, morepeoplecrashed in the garden, Faithalsono longersuppresses the crowdwith the bow and arrow, becausedoes not have the significance. AllScoia'taeldisperse, standswithDwarfby the garden, whateverNoblefaces directly the angryfarmer.
等他走出房间的时候,城堡已经变得混乱不堪,更多的人冲进了庭院,伊欧菲斯也不再用弓箭压制人群,因为已经没有意义了。所有松鼠党都散开,和矮人一起站在庭院旁,任由贵族直面愤怒的农夫。
