„But, the restaurant comes across a difficult problem now. The wheat flour and fish are short, some food that the customer wants we are unable to provide, this caused many 's complaints......” restaurant manager to brief the situation. “不过,现在餐馆遇到了一个难题。小麦面粉、鱼类短缺,顾客要的一些食物我们无法提供,这导致了不少人的抱怨……”餐馆主管介绍着情况。 „Oh, matter that this does not have the means! Because of the war, the grain and sea fish supplies of entire alliance are limited , is not only we sad......” Cheiristoya sighs, earnest saying: „ I suggested that pastes on a circular on each restaurant front door, explained the reason to the customers, was sorry to them. Simultaneously suggested customer many points of beef and lamb kind of food, for example rinses the beef and lamb, to fry the beef, to roast the mutton leg...... Andrea to write a letter to tell me from Grumentum, this year the cattle of Lucania area raising are too much, if not massive consumptions, lose weight the minor matter the cattle to the winter, bumps into the underheating the weather, may freeze to death much, the loss of such herdsmen was big, therefore we must as far as possible many from Lucania purchase domestic animal...... “唉,这也是没有办法的事！因为战争,整个联盟的谷物、海鱼供给都非常紧张,并不光是我们难过……”克莉斯托娅叹了口气,认真的说道:“我建议在每一家餐馆大门上都贴上一个通告,向顾客们说明原因,向他们表示歉意。同时建议顾客多点牛羊肉一类的食物,比如涮牛羊肉、煎牛肉、烤羊腿……安德莉亚从格鲁门图姆写信告诉我,今年卢卡尼亚地区饲养的牛羊过多,如果不大量的消耗掉,牛羊到冬天掉膘还是小事,碰上过冷的天气,更可能会冻死不少,那样牧民们的损失就大了,所以我们要尽量多的从卢卡尼亚购买牲畜…… Moreover considering the present is the rough period, the people of entire alliance face the food short difficulty, we made the high profit at this time, will be hated by the people! Therefore I decide to fall the prices of all food, only makes few profits to pay the pay of employee. Before the war had not ended, we must ride out the storm with the Theonia people together! ” 而且考虑到现在是困难时期,全联盟的民众都面临食物短缺的困难,我们在这个时候获取高额利润,会遭受到民众怨恨的！所以我决定将所有食物的价格都降下来,仅赚取少量利润以支付雇员的薪酬。在战争没有结束以前,我们要与戴奥尼亚民众一起共度难关！” „Yes, Madame! I carry out immediately!” The restaurant manager's response simply were many. “是,夫人！我马上去执行！”餐馆主管的回应就干脆多了。 Cheiristoya had a yawn, saw the mistress to be somewhat sleepy, goes forward to stop the discussion immediately, making the managers first go back. 克莉斯托娅打了一个哈欠,阿苏娜见女主人有些困倦了,就立刻上前中止了会谈,让主管们先回去。 „Madame, you soon lived, but also works hard to do! You must think of your belly child!......” Holds her, while complained. “夫人,你都快要生了,还这么操劳干嘛！你得为你肚子里的孩子着想！……”阿苏娜一边扶着她,一边抱怨。 Cheiristoya double handles gently holds round big belly, sound gentle saying: „Alliance has such big matter, matter naturally, does not process good. Several days later, Andrea will catch up, takes over control of these matters for me temporarily, I can feel at ease lives the treasure......” 克莉斯托娅双手轻托着圆鼓鼓的大肚子,声音轻柔的说道:“联盟发生这么大的事,事情自然就会多起来,不处理不行。再过几天,安德莉亚就会赶来,替我暂时接管这些事,我就可以安心的把宝贝生下来……” „Madame Andrea must come, that was really good!” Happy saying, she holds Cheiristoya to take a walk in the backyard slowly, to eliminate Cheiristoya because of the thigh that the long time sits to cause swelling. “安德莉亚夫人要来,那真是太好了！”阿苏娜高兴的说道,她扶着克莉斯托娅在后院里慢慢散步,以消除克莉斯托娅因刚才的久坐而导致的腿部肿胀。 „Andrea must bring back to Thurii her two children together( one is ex-husband's son), making the Bagul father be able to see his grandson well, to satisfy his sentiment of thinking of......” Cheiristoya to be somewhat sigh with emotion: Before Andrea has married, but also has the child, marries the alien race leader family, can make the Bagul huge family accept, and is together harmoniously, Andrea made very great effort...... “安德莉亚还要将她的两个孩子一起带回图里伊(其中一个是前夫的儿子),让巴古勒的父亲能够好好的见到他的孙子,以满足他的想念之情……”克莉斯托娅有些感慨:安德莉亚之前结过婚,还生有一个孩子,又嫁给异族首领家庭,能够让巴古勒的庞大家族接受,并且相处和睦,安德莉亚是付出了很大的努力…… „Actoris and Carlo will be certainly happy!” Said with a smile. “阿多里斯和小克洛一定会非常高兴！”阿苏娜笑道。 Cheiristoya suddenly thinks, asked: „Liked Gorney coming back?” 克莉斯托娅突然想起来,问道:“爱葛妮丝回来了吗？” „Also no. Madame, I want because of the battle failure, not only worships the Temple of Hades people to increase, even in the Hera temple the follower also increased, therefore likes Madame Gorney not finishing......” to guess. “还没有。夫人,我想是不是因为会战失败,不但去祭拜哈迪斯神庙的民众增多,连赫拉神庙中信徒也增多了,所以爱葛妮丝夫人还没有忙完……”阿苏娜猜测道。 „Nonsense!” Cheiristoya slightly frowning frown, anxious saying: „She is also pregnant, how can not care about own body! Sends people to call her, said that is my order!” “胡闹！”克莉斯托娅微颦双眉,焦急的说道:“她也怀着孕,怎么能不顾及自己的身体呢！派人去把她叫回来,就说是我的命令！” „Yes!” Knows the mistress to keep promises, is busy at calling other maidservant. “是！”阿苏娜知道女主人说一不二,忙去唤别的女奴。 At this time, the latter front gate was shoved open. 这时,后院门被推开。 „Mother, I came back.” Cynthia at the back of installing to study the satchel of apparatus, before catching up on own initiative, supports by the arm Cheiristoya. “母亲,我回来了。”辛西娅背着装学习用具的挎包,主动赶上前,搀扶住克莉斯托娅。 „Actoris?” “阿多里斯呢？” „He and schoolmate plays the football in the school square.” “他和同学在学校广场里玩橄榄球。” „Hopes that he like yesterday, the darkness went home.” “希望他不要像昨天一样,天黑了才回家。” „He, I will not have warned him.” Cynthia comforts Cheiristoya, then concerned asking: „Mother, did the father have the news? This afternoon, everyone knows we in the news that Scylletium defeats, did not have the thoughts to attend class, they also asked me, ‚when did father command the army?’” “他不会的,我已经警告过他了。”辛西娅宽慰克里斯托娅,然后又关切的问道:“母亲,父亲有消息了吗？今天下午,大家知道了我们在西里庭战败的消息,都没有心思上课了,他们还纷纷问我,‘父亲什么时候率军回来？’” Cheiristoya turned head to look at the height to arrive in the adopted daughter of her shoulder quickly, when remembered just met her alert to Davos, but now actually takes him as proudly, the big feeling was gratified: „Do not worry, your father will triumph quickly!” 克莉斯托娅扭头看了看身高已经快抵达她肩膀的养女,想起刚见面时她对戴弗斯的戒备,而如今却以他为骄傲,不禁大感欣慰:“你不要担心,你父亲很快就会得胜回来的！” „Un!” Cynthia nods powerfully. “嗯！”辛西娅有力的点头。 „Mom, I come back!” Out of the door hears the clear child's voice. “妈妈,我回来啦！”门外传来清脆的童声。 „This young monkey came back!” On the Cheiristoya face shows the smile that favored to drown, because these days is close to the childbirth quickly, Cheiristoya was unable to accompany Carlo in full vigour, has every day to make the maidservant lead him to go to the square to play. “这个小捣蛋回来了！”克莉斯托娅脸上露出了宠溺的笑容,这段时间因为快接近分娩,克莉斯托娅已经无法陪伴精力旺盛的小克洛,只好每天让女奴带他去广场玩耍。 „Mother, I accompanies the younger brother.” Cynthia sensible welcomed goes forward. “母亲,我去陪弟弟。”辛西娅懂事的迎上前。 Maidservant exciting shouting of afterward comes in: „Madame, good news! Good news! The Lucania messenger came back, said that the master fought a big successful battle in Poseidonia that place! Said that was...... eliminated more than 20,000 enemies......” 随后进来的女奴兴奋的喊道:“夫人,好消息！好消息！卢卡尼亚的信使回来了,说主人在波塞冬尼亚那个地方打了一个大胜仗！说是……消灭了两万多敌人……” „Really was good!” Cheiristoya shouted unrestrainedly, Davos leads to go to battle is so long, how she can not be worried! However as the mistress, she usually stronger to do calmly, this time may really feel relieved...... “真是太好了！”克莉斯托娅情不自禁的喊了一声,戴弗斯领军出征这么久,她怎么能不担心呢！但是作为主母,她平时要强作镇定而已,这次可真的是放心了…… She just shouted that this, relaxes at heart, felt that between both legs a heat flow, the abdomen starts the painfully swollen. 她刚喊完这一句,心里一放松,就感到双腿间一股热流,腹部开始胀痛。 Has had her of birth experience immediately the coming to a stop body, supports the stone table with the hand, said with the steady tone as far as possible: „, I must live, goes quickly, informs Herpus quickly......” 有过一次生育经验的她立即站稳身子,用手撑住石桌,尽量用平稳的语气说道:“阿苏娜,阿苏娜,我要生了,快去,快去通知赫尔普斯……” .................................... ……………………………… In the Davos mansion is the Cheiristoya childbirth is thrown into confusion, „archon commands the army in Lucania wins Samnites” the news like warm braw to comfort the Thurii people to start the somewhat panic. In people that Temple of Hades worships, some person of first times public shouted that „let Sir Davos is king” the slogan. 就在戴弗斯府邸为克莉斯托娅的分娩手忙脚乱之时,“执政官率军在卢卡尼亚大胜萨莫奈人”的消息如同一阵暖风安抚了图里伊民众开始有些恐慌的情绪。在哈迪斯神庙祭拜的民众中,有人第一次公开的喊出了“让戴弗斯大人当国王”的口号。 However, in the dusk time, the messenger who south gallop came breaks the people to tend to be the tranquil state of mind again, „the Syracuse army broke through the Scylletium city, not only looted the entire city, but also turned into slave this astonishing news to shock the Thurii people the entire City People” again, shocked council, caused still rapidly to make in the hesitant senior statesmen decided: Agreed that the proposition of Philesius, sending out the newly-built sixth regiment to go to Krimisa, protects the security of Theonia territory. 但是,在黄昏时候,南面疾驰而来的信使再次打破了民众渐趋平静的心绪,“锡拉库扎大军攻破了西里庭城,不但洗劫了全城,还将全城民众都变成了奴隶”这一惊人的消息再次震惊了图里伊民众,也震惊了元老院,使得原本还在犹豫的元老们迅速做出了决定:同意斐利修斯的提议,派出新建的第六军团前往克里米萨,守护戴奥尼亚领地的安全。 ................................. …………………………… That night, when the Thurii person tosses and turns and is hard to go to sleep, a newborn in the Davos mansion is born. 这一夜,在图里伊人辗转反侧、难以入眠的时候,一个新生儿在戴弗斯府邸呱呱坠地。 „Madame, is a healthy and adorable girl!” Hugged has been scratching the clean body, to tie up the umbilical cord, and wrapped the good newly-born child with the pure linen, the cautious arriving bedside, demonstrated that looked to Cheiristoya. “夫人,是一个健康可爱的女孩！”阿苏娜抱着已经擦干净身体、结扎了脐带、并且用洁净的亚麻布包裹好的刚出生的孩子,小心翼翼的来到床边,展示给克莉斯托娅看。 Is more tired much the Cheiristoya difficult side to be excessive, looks that both hands grab thoughtlessly the daughter who and cries aloud, on the elegant face of full sweat showed the gentle smile. 已经累得有气无力的克莉斯托娅困难的侧过头,看着正双手乱抓、哇哇大哭的女儿,满头汗水的俏脸上露出了慈祥的笑容。 „...... Eunice...... her name was Eunice......” Cheiristoya to remember with the agreement of Davos. “……尤妮丝……她叫尤妮丝……”克莉斯托娅想起了与戴弗斯的约定。 Continuously the people of anxious waiting outside the bedroom hears „mother and daughter safe and secure” good news, relaxes. 一直在卧室外焦急等待的众人听到“母女平安”的好消息,都松了口气。 This time, having a child is an important matter, is a difficult matter. The difficult labor is in the birth the common matter, the birth matters needing attention that although Davos hears from the previous generation him told Herpus and other doctors, and also proposed that brings together the Theonia experienced midwife, after the specialized training, making it the doctor who in the hospital specifically is responsible for receiving...... implementations of these measures to make the Theonia neonatal mortality rate certainly be controlled, but its mortality rate was still not low. 这个时代,生孩子是一件大事,也是一件难事。难产是生育中常有的事,尽管戴弗斯将他从前世听闻来的生育注意事项告诉了赫尔普斯等医生,并且还倡议将戴奥尼亚有经验的产婆集中起来,经过专业的训练,使其成为医院里专门负责接生的医生……这些措施的实行让戴奥尼亚的新生儿死亡率得到一定控制,但其死亡率仍然不低。 „Carlo, you had the younger sister!” Likes Gorney caressing the head of Carlo lightly, the gentle voice was saying. “小克洛,你有妹妹了！”爱葛妮丝轻抚着小克洛的头,柔声说道。 „Younger sister?! Can I play with her frequently together?!” Carlo happy asking. “妹妹？！我能经常跟她一块儿玩吗？！”小克洛高兴的问道。 „Now is not good, when she grows up some.” Loves Gorney explained to him, while is covering the belly of slightly drum, she wholeheartedly hopes for several months later can also the smooth giving birth child. “现在不行,等她长大些就可以。”爱葛妮丝一边给他解释,一边捂着自己微鼓的肚子,她衷心的希望几个月后自己也能顺利的生下孩子。 „Good, is a younger sister!” Actoris also happy shouting, Carlo entangles him to play daily, he does not want to come a younger brother again, he may be tired. “太好了,是个妹妹！”阿多里斯也高兴的喊道,小克洛天天缠着他玩,他可不想再来一个弟弟,那他可就烦死了。 Cynthia was also very happy, she can like other female schoolmate, there is a young personal servant finally. 辛西娅也很高兴,她终于可以像别的女同学一样,有个小跟班了。 Eunice was welcomed by whole family from a birth. 尤妮丝从一出生就受到了全家人的欢迎。 ................................. …………………………… Next day, when Thurii council is calling the newly-built sixth regiment soldier in Nike square, the preparation makes it go south, guards Crimea, Syracuse envoy Damocles holds up the head to enter the Caulonia city. 第二天,当图里伊元老院正在胜利广场召集新建的第六军团士兵,准备让其南下,驻守克里米亚之时,锡拉库扎的使者达摩克利斯昂首走进了考伦尼亚城。 Damocles took away the ultimatum of Dionysius to Caulonia: Immediately surrenders, otherwise the Scylletium city is its example! 达摩克利斯带去了狄奥尼修斯对考伦尼亚的最后通牒:立即降服,否则西里庭城就是它的榜样！ Until now, Caulonia takes in the Crotone union to resist the Locri forefront, his people are confident about the defense city, that is mainly because in its has Crotone and other allied country full power support behind. However this great battle is defeated, Theonia and Crotone are repulsed, Scylletium and Terina were attacked and occupied, support its strength disappearing completely. 一直以来,考伦尼亚作为克罗托内同盟中抵御洛克里的最前线,其民众对防御城池充满信心,那主要是因为在它的身后有克罗托内及其他盟邦全力的支持。但是这一次大会战失败,戴奥尼亚、克罗托内败退,西里庭、特里纳被攻占,支持它的力量散失殆尽。 Now Caulonia gets sucked into the tight encirclement. Moreover they had heard that the Syracuse attacking a city ability is very strong, once attacked and occupied the Carthaginians Sicily strategic place- Tia, but the news that came a moment ago made them be startled: Scylletium fell into enemy hands( Syracuse in the half-day time and Locri army blocked the Caulonia city strictly, making no one know falling to the enemy of Scylletium because of being perfidious of Dionysius), caused the Caulonia people while to defending the city lost the confidence, the pitiful bitter experience of Scylletium person also scared them. 如今考伦尼亚已经是深陷重围。而且他们早就听说锡拉库扎的攻城能力很强,曾经攻占迦太基人的西西里重镇-摩提亚,而刚才来的消息更令他们吃惊:西里庭在半天时间内就失守(锡拉库扎与洛克里军队严密封锁了考伦尼亚城,使得无人得知西里庭的失陷是因为狄奥尼修斯的背信弃义),使得考伦尼亚民众在对防御城池失去了信心的同时,西里庭人的悲惨遭遇也吓坏了他们。 The Caulonia person thinks: Even if Theonia and Crotone will have the opportunity to counter-attack in the future, but Caulonia has fallen to the enemy by that time, they still have become the slave, was sold another region, the Caulonia city recovers even, to them has no significance...... 考伦尼亚人认为:即使将来戴奥尼亚、克罗托内有机会反攻,可到那时考伦尼亚早已沦陷,他们自己也已经成为奴隶,被远卖他乡,考伦尼亚城就算光复,对他们而言已经没有什么意义…… Finally, ecclesia unanimously decided: Surrenders to Syracuse! 终于,公民大会一致决定:向锡拉库扎投降！
