Petrovdoes not haveto thinkoneselfsuchquicklyonformer home groundsrevisit.培罗没想到自己会这么快就故地重游。Hedoes not wantin such coldwinter, especiallywhenEvil Beastwreaks havocleaves the warmhouse, helplessDuke Ryandesignatesoneselfto hand overinFourth Princethishotdocument/secretary.
他原本不想在这么寒冷的冬天,特别是在邪兽肆虐的时候离开温暖的住宅,无奈莱恩公爵指名自己将这封烫手的文书交到四王子手里。Heknows certainly that document/secretarycontent--in fact, entireGreycastle'supper layernoblewas discussingthisastonishingnews: King of Greycastlefalls from the skybecause of a murder, murdershisGerald Wimbledon, the Kingeldest son. Afterward the second sonrushes toKingdom Capital, announced that countrycannotonedaynot haveMonarch, hewill mount the throneassecondpositionsuccessor.
他当然知道文书的内容——事实上,整个灰堡的上层贵族都在讨论这个惊人消息:灰堡之王因为一场谋杀而陨落,谋杀他的正是戈隆.温布顿,国王的长子。随后次子赶赴王都,宣布国不可一日无君,他将以第二顺位继承人的身份登上王位。Howeverthisbehaviorwas not acceptedbyallpeople, somepeopledeclared that the Geraldtrialfishy, entireinterrogated, heonlyrevealedoverseveralsurface . Moreover the mouthcannotsay, both handswas tightenedties up. We hope that after canwait till the matterwas investigated thoroughlythoroughly, decides the throneownershipagain.
然而这一行为并不被所有人接受,有人宣称戈隆的审判十分蹊跷,整场审问下来,他只露过几次面,而且口不能言,双手被紧绑。希望能等到事情彻底被查清后再决定王位归属。Alsosomepeoplepassed on a messagethisaresecond sonTimothy Wimbledonperform in a self-directedplay, the genuinemurderershipped out a sadappearance, Second Prince that actually the impatientwaitingascended the throne.
还有人传言这不过是次子提费科.温布顿自演自导的一场戏,真正的凶手正是装出一副悲伤模样,却迫不及待等待登基的二王子。No matterthisargumentwhois wrongtowhom, Second Princewithsupport of Imperial Prime Minister, stilltemporarilygrippedby the Kingactingstatustook the right of Greycastleimperator. Meanwhilehesent outtoallcompetitorsrecalledmakes--struggle the kingto finish, variousprinceprincessafterreceivingdecree, shouldreturn toKingdom Capitalbefore the winterend. NewKingwill act according tothesesixmonths of rulingsituationto confer the territory and titleofficially.
不管这场争论到底谁对谁错,二王子在御前首相的鼎力支持下,仍以国王代行的身份暂时攥取了灰堡最高统治者的权利。同时他向所有竞争对手发出了召回令——争王已经结束,各王子王女在接到旨意后,应在冬末之前返回王都。新国王将根据这六个月的执政情况正式册封领地和爵位。Petrovcan certainlysee the urgentmood in thisorder.培罗当然能看出这道命令中的迫切心情。
Can Timothy Wimbledonhold on to the throne, alllooks at the responses of otherprinceprincess. If the little darlinggives upstruggling the king, returns toKingdom Capital, henaturallywill becomeindisputableWimbledon IV.提费科.温布顿能不能坐稳王位,全看其他王子王女的反应。如果都乖乖放弃争王,回到王城,那他自然将成为无可争议的温布顿四世。Sends outBorder Town'sdocument/secretaryto passLongsong Strongholdfirst, butDuke Ryanoneselfrecall the commandto snort contemptuouslytothis. When Kingis alivealsohashighcontrolstrengthtoeach regionfeudal lord, as forSecond Prince, the lightisthisascends the throneforcefullythendoesstifflyincomparable. In additionGeraldwas delivered the precedent of guilotine, onlyfeared that nobodyis willingto return toKingdom Capitalsolitarily.
发往边陲镇的文书会先转送到长歌要塞,而莱恩公爵本人对这道召回令嗤之以鼻。国王在世时对各地领主还有较高的掌控力,至于二王子,光是这段强行登基便做得生硬无比。加上戈隆被送上断头台的前例,只怕没人愿意只身返回王都。Howeverin the strongholdsixeyes, thisactuallyonmeantimeorder.
不过在要塞六家眼里,这倒是一个恰逢其时的命令。Twomonths ago, the motion that Count ElkplansarbitrarilymakesDukeverydisgruntled, especiallywas also defeated. Prince'sthat sideresponse is also very intense, condemns the death by hangingHiller Dmitrydirectly, such as the timeone, the two sidesmaytear to pieces the facial skinpublicly.
两个多月前,麋鹿伯爵擅自谋划的行动让公爵十分不悦,特别是还失败了。王子那边的反应也十分激烈,直接把希尔斯.梅德判处绞刑,如次一来,两边可算是公开撕破脸皮。Dukethenplanned, whenMonths of Demonsfinishedleapstakes actionto solvethistroubleagain, nowhadthisarchives, hecandojustifiablily. Roland Wimbledonreturns toKingdom Capital, Border Townnaturallybelongs toDuke Ryan, does not return to the Kingdom Capitalwords, hecancompel--to hold the newKingflagbymilitary force.
原本公爵便打算等到邪魔之月结束再腾出手解决这桩麻烦,现在有了这封公文,他就可以干得更加名正言顺。罗兰.温布顿回王都,边陲镇自然归莱恩公爵所有,不回王都的话,他则能以武力相逼——打着新任国王的旗帜。Whosefallsas for the finalroyal crowninhand, Dukedoes not care.
至于最后王冠落于谁手,公爵并不太在意。ButasPetrov of ambassador, was not quite obviously comfortable. Other dayvowed solemnlysaidoneselfwill bring the newtradecontract, finallycame was actually the Elk Familyevil behind-the-scenes manipulator. Nowhecameactually, bringssimilarlyissad news--, no matternews of Wimbledon IIIdeath, is the newKingrecallingcommand, Petrovbelieves,Fourth Princebothdo not wantto see.
而作为大使的培罗,显然就不太舒坦了。上回信誓旦旦地说自己将带来新的贸易契约,结果来的却是麋鹿家的黑手。现在他倒是来了,带来的同样是噩耗——不管是温布顿三世逝世的消息,还是新国王的召回令,培罗相信,四王子两者都不想看到。Navigationall the wayis smooth, Greycastleis the mainlandby the southcountry, even if in the winter, the riverswill not freeze.
一路上的航行还算顺利,灰堡是大陆靠南边的国家,即使是冬天,河流也不会冻结。Petrovpenetrates the windowto visitto the river bankonce for a while, alreadyhas not seen all the way the bodies of those who starved to death that falls dead, has not seen the people who flees from calamity, thisexplained that Border Townhad not fallen into enemy hands.培罗时不时透过窗户向河岸探望,一路上既没看到倒毙的饿殍,也没看到逃难的人民,这说明边陲镇至今仍未失守。Thismadehimslightlysomewhatsurprised, after all when previoustimehevisited the city wallhowwitnessed the opposite partyto construct the city wall, depended on the stonewall that the mudstuckregardingthese, Petrovhas not really heldmanyconfidence.
这点令他稍微有些惊讶,毕竟上次他参观城墙时亲眼目睹了对方是如何建设城墙的,对于这些靠泥巴糊起来的石头墙体,培罗实在没抱多少信心。Thenmadehemore surprisedmatterappear, hung the sailing ship of Willow Townflagto roll by--thisscenedeja vufrom the river courseslowly, but nowMonths of Demons! Are when theyalsoreally having the leisureto do businesswith the Evil Beastfight? Does not adjustonall the workers of mining the defense line, howpossiblyto resist that help/gangcruelmonster of!
而后让他更惊讶的事出现了,一艘挂着柳叶镇旗帜的帆船缓缓从河道右侧驶过——这个场景似曾相识,但现在可是邪魔之月!他们竟然在同邪兽战斗时还有闲暇做生意?不把所有挖矿的工人调到防线上,怎么可能抵挡住那帮残暴的怪物!Threedayslater, the shipsarrive inBorder Towndock.
三天后,船只抵达边陲镇码头。Stillisthatshabbywoodendock, butdockwere manywithinsimplewooden shed. After the shipsapproach shore, twoguardsgo outfrom the wooden shed, are staring at every action and every movement of boatmen.
依然是那个破旧不堪的木质码头,不过码头边多了间简易木棚。船只靠岸后,两名卫兵从木棚中走出,盯着船夫们的一举一动。PetrovunderstoodimmediatelyRolandarranges the intention of sentry postinthis.培罗立刻就明白了罗兰在此布置岗哨的用意。Fourth Princedoes not hopeobviouslysomepeopleleavesmall townthrough the waterwaysecretly.四王子显然不希望有人通过水路偷偷离开小镇。Hejumps down the broad side, after the guardexplained the status, then the personpulls the horses, accompaniedhimto go to the castle.
他跳下船舷,对卫兵说明身份后,便有一人牵来马匹,陪同他一齐前往城堡。
Like the previoustimeprocedure, princeRoland Wimbledonreceivedhimin the reception room. Althoughmoreover, in the diningtime, the princestilldid not tell that at this timeattendantsdisplaysoneset of richstarter.
和上次的程序一样,王子罗兰.温布顿在会客厅接见了他。不仅如此,尽管此时不在用餐时间,王子仍然吩咐侍从摆上一套丰富的餐点。
The carbonroasts the ham and dried fishslice, butterbreadandvegetablessoup that the coldwild herbs that a basincannot name the character, as well asatanybanquetcansee.
碳烤猪腿、鱼干切片,一盆叫不上名字的凉拌野菜,以及任何宴席上都能看到的黄油面包和蔬菜汤。It seems likethisprincelikesdiningvery muchfirstdiscusses the proper businessagain.
看来这位王子很喜欢先用餐再谈正事。Petrovis thinking, the handdoes not have the momentidle time, the opportunity that after allcaneat until fullare not many. Even if Honeysuckle Family, when has not invitedguest, eatsalsobasicallyis the potatobreadmatchessaltydried meatonekind.培罗这么想着,手却没有片刻停歇,毕竟能饱餐一顿的机会不多。就算是金银花家族,没有宴请宾客时,吃得也基本是土豆面包配咸肉干一类。Finished eating the full meal, when the sweet snackendcame up, Petrovhanded overdocument/secretaryrespectfully.
吃完正餐,待甜点端上来之际,培罗毕恭毕敬地递上文书。Rolandreceived, withtable knifeincisionsealing wax, extractedpaper rollto look atseveralfast, was shocked.罗兰接过,用餐刀切开封蜡,抽出纸卷快速瞄了几眼,然后愣住了。
Did Kingdie?国王死了?Regardingthisnominalfather, Rolanddoes not have the sentiment to say, when hepasses throughhas placedBorder Town, has not seenincluding the surface, not to mentioninFourth Princememory, only thentohis father'scomplaintanddiscontented. Because of this, hethought that oneselfdid fall into an inexplicableawkwardness-- to display the sadsadappearance?
对于这个名义上的父亲,罗兰毫无感情可言,他穿越过来时已经身处边陲镇,连面都没有见过,更别提四王子记忆里只有对他父亲的埋怨和不满。正因为如此,他觉得自己陷入了一种莫名的尴尬之中——到底该不该表现出悲伤难过的样子?But the followingcontentmadehimsmell a plotflavor. Does Wimbledon IIIdieofeldest son'smurder? Second Princeby the newKingstatusannounced that the conclusionstruggled the king, orderingoneselfto return toGreycastleKingdom Capitalimmediately?
而下面的内容更让他闻到了一丝阴谋的味道。温布顿三世死于长子的谋杀?二王子以新任国王的身份宣布结束争王,命令自己即日起返回灰堡王都?Rolandcoughstwo, raised head, happen toseesPetrovto be full of the apology the look.罗兰咳嗽两声,抬起头,正好看到培罗充满歉意的眼神。So that's it, hethinks,strongholdDukeonlyfearsto be happy, regardless ofcomplies with the order of new King, tooneselfis being in a dilemmaregions.原来如此,他想,要塞公爵只怕乐见其成,无论遵不遵从新王的命令,对自己都是两难的境地。Has not brought the agreement the contract, actuallybringsis similar tocurses the bad news, heonlyfeared that alsofeels sorryat heart. Rolandsmiledsecretly, foldsdocument/secretary, „Iknew.”
没有带来约定的契约,却带来如同催命符般的坏消息,他只怕心里也过意不去。罗兰暗自笑了笑,将文书重新折好,“我知道了。”„, Your highness, thenyouplan......”
“呃,殿下,那么您打算……”„Iwantto walk, whenMonths of Demonsfinished. Now the world of ice and snow, Iwalkedwords, Border Town'speoplewhat to do?”
“就算我想走,也得等到邪魔之月结束。现在冰天雪地的,我走了的话,边陲镇的人民怎么办?”
If others, Petrovdefinitelywill say " should not be worried,strongholdwill help the words that youproperlyprocess " like thisare perfunctory, orotherdiplomaticofficial businessreplies. Butinthishas only seenin front oftwoFourth Prince, he is actually not ableto open the moutheasily. The firsttime, Petrovfelt the loathingto the status of ownambassador, finallyhenods, „Iunderstood, needsmeto transmitto write in replyforyou?”
如果是别人,培罗肯定会说出「别担心,要塞会帮你妥善处理」这样敷衍的话语,或其他外交公事化应答。但在这位仅见过两次的四王子面前,他却无法轻易开口。第一次,培罗对自己大使的身份感到了厌恶,最终他只是点点头,“我明白了,需要我为您传递回函吗?”Rolandcalledattendantsto deliver the penpaper, wroteto write in replyquickly, coveredwithownsealon the sealing wax, gavePetrov. Latterswept an envelope, intitle pagehas writtenclearlyis sendingGreycastleSecond PrinceTimothy Wimbledon, butwas notKingWimbledon IV.罗兰叫侍从送上笔纸,很快写好回函,用自己的印章盖在封蜡上,交给培罗。后者扫了眼信封,封面上清楚地写着致灰堡二王子提费科.温布顿,而不是国王温布顿四世。Hehad indicatedownmanner, Petrovthinks.
他已经表明了自己的态度,培罗想。
