...... …… Hofford Quinn is carrying wine cup, stands before the window of study room, is staring by the city that the curtain of night covers. 霍弗德.奎因端着酒杯,站在书房的落地窗前,凝视着被夜幕笼罩的城市。 Here is the Dawn center, is honored as the capital of non- night. The lights are centered on the rising sun main road, extends to the both sides, is similar to luxuriant growth of leaves and branches the tree of light. But apex that sets up, is the kingdom most famous big store, every day some innumerable precious flows to here from each region, regarding the merchant, night is the start that they live. 这里是晨曦的中心,也被誉为不夜之都。灯火以旭日大道为中心,向两侧延伸开来,如同一株枝繁叶茂的光之树。而树的顶点,则是王国最有名的大卖场,每天都有无数珍奇从各地流向此处,对于商人而言,夜晚才是他们生活的开始。 In order to maintain this radiant brilliance, candle, fuel and lamp oil that Kingdom Capital consumes every day are an astonishing digit, the fish fat from east side harbor, as well as the firewood of north hill, continuously is all imported in the city by the ships. Only is this industry, the conservative estimate has then supported about ten thousand people, as well as more than hundred merchants. 为了维持这璀璨的光辉,王都每天消耗的蜡烛、柴火和灯油都是一个惊人的数字,来自东边海港的鱼脂、以及北方丘陵的木柴,皆由船只源源不断地运入城内。光是这一产业,保守估计便养活了近万民众,以及百余位商人。 But this merely is a Kingdom Capital commercial trade corner/horn. 而这仅仅是王都商业贸易的一角。 If, a Hofford big pleasure is to usually appreciate Shining Light City night scene-- this city under the Moore the common government of royal family as well as 3 Great Families, became from piece of wasteland the present illustrious lively place, then has unceasing payout of ancestors. 若是平时,霍弗德的一大乐趣便是欣赏辉光城的夜景——这座城市在摩亚王室以及三大家族的共同治理下,从一片荒地变为了如今赫赫有名的繁华之地,其中便有着先祖们的不断付出。 But today, he thought that inexplicably is weary. 但今天,他却莫名觉得厌倦起来。 The Shining Light City night scene seemed with the past such as one, was as before gorgeous and moving, may beyond range that in the light tree is unable to shine, the undercurrent that surged faintly was unable again to neglect. 辉光城的夜景看上去和往日如一,依旧绚丽而动人,可在光树无法照耀到的范围外,那股隐隐涌动的暗流已无法再让人忽视。 Even if facing the so brilliantly illuminated territory, he also felt the intense restlessness. 即使面对如此灯火通明的领地,他也感受到了强烈的不安。 Really were probably old...... Hofford slightly sips wine, in mouth bitter and astringent as if wins in the sweetness. 大概自己真的是老了……霍弗德微微抿了口葡萄酒,口里的苦涩仿佛更胜于甘甜。 „Father,” study room gate was shoved open, a young man walked come in, „Northwind City Baron Alphons wants to visit you.” “父亲,”书房门被推开,一名年纪轻轻的男子走了进来,“北风城的阿尔冯斯男爵想要拜会您。” „Does not see,” Hofford does not return said, „said I got sick.” “不见,”霍弗德头也不回地说道,“就说我病了。” „But......” he hesitant little while, afterward beckons with the hand to nearby old steward. “可是……”他犹豫了会儿,随后对一旁的老管家摆摆手。 The latter nods immediately understandingly, turns around to go out of the study room. 后者立刻会意地点点头,转身走出了书房。 Sees in the room only remaining they, the man somewhat worries saying that „father, this is noble that 12 th you reject. Even if I, knows that in royal palace had problems. These outside noble enter the goal of city to be very obvious, you do this, perhaps will mislead them into thinking......” 见屋里只剩下他们两人,男子才有些担忧道,“父亲,这已经是第12个您拒绝的贵族了。哪怕是我,也知道王宫里的那位出了问题。这些外地贵族入城的目的已很明显,您这样做,恐怕会让他们误以为……” „What is mistaken?” “误以为什么？” „Was mistaken that......” he bites lip, „you still stood on the side of Anpei Moore Your Majesty.” “误以为……”他咬了咬嘴唇,“您仍站在安佩因.摩亚陛下一边。” „Horne......” Quinn Earl has turned round, frowned to look at this Quinn Family scheduled successor, „you thought, glow 3 Great Families stands on the side of Lord of Dawn, is a wrong matter!” “霍恩……”奎因伯爵回过身来,皱起眉头望着这位奎因家的预定继承者,“难道你觉得,辉光三大家族站在晨曦之主一边,是一件错误的事情吗！” „But the present was Your Majesty no longer needs us,” Horne summons courage said that „, since the army after the Hermes bitter experience disastrous defeat, he again has not asked you to discuss the politics! You as Imperial Prime Minister, even is unable to step into imperial palace one step, was also replaced the mercenary soldier including the outer city patrol leader. You have a look King summons the castle are any person of-- he now only need Clown, actor and Geisha every day!” “可现在是陛下不再需要我们了,”霍恩鼓起勇气道,“自从大军在赫尔梅斯遭遇惨败后,他就再也没找您商量过政事！您身为御前首相,甚至无法踏入皇宫一步,连外城巡逻队也被替换成了佣兵。您看看每天被国王召进城堡的都是些什么人——他现在只需要小丑、伶人和歌妓罢了！” Earl does not have answer, but looks at wine cup to be silent. 伯爵没有回答,而是望着酒杯沉默不语。 Horne now is only 18 years old, including him can see that " each region noble wells up Kingdom Capital " behind to mean anything, other local noble impossible have not realized any change. In fact, when he knew when news that the army suffers defeat, expected that arrival-- of this day has surpassed 10,000 people of armies, feudal lord of majority of cities is involved, hopes that can from soon drop down on the giant who to blow the next meat. However the final result is the people not only has not divided to slightly the belongings, has compensated on the contrary the lives and properties. 霍恩如今才18岁,连他都能看到「各地贵族涌来王都」背后意味着什么,其他本地贵族不可能没察觉到任何变化。事实上,当他得知大军败北的消息时,就预料到了这一天的到来——超过10000人的军队,大部分城镇的领主都参与其中,希望能从即将倒下的巨人身上刮下一块肉来。然而最终的结果是众人不仅没有分到丝毫财物,反倒把身家性命都赔了进去。 If only this , the key was Lord of Dawn is living, but his Knight group actually buckle completely. When Anpei returns to Kingdom Capital in an extremely difficult situation, this news is almost flies the general proliferation. This was equal to simultaneously satisfying two condition-- to need some people responsible for the commitment that this failure as well as has not fulfilled \; Strength that Anpei grasps, was unable to give up the thoughts that other noble are ready to make trouble again. 如果只是这样也就罢了,关键在于晨曦之主活着回来了,而他的骑士团却折损殆尽。当安佩因狼狈不堪地回到王都时,该消息几乎是飞一般的扩散开来。这等于同时满足了两个条件——需要有人为这场失败以及未兑现的承诺负责\;还有安佩因所掌握的力量,已无法再打消其他贵族蠢蠢欲动的心思。 These are quietly into the city, to take advantage noble that the dim light of night visits, is an obvious signal. They want to take a look at the response of 3 Great Families without doubt, the decision is attaches to or unites-- these absolutely not have an answer again to be able maintains the present situation. 这些悄无声息入城、又趁夜色来拜访的贵族,便是一个明显的讯号。他们无疑想要看看三大家族的反应,再决定是依附还是联合——不过这其中绝对没有一个答案会是维持现状。 Hofford closes one's eyes can guess correctly the idea in that crowd of person hearts, since lost that many in Hermes, naturally must find other places to make up. 霍弗德闭着眼睛都能猜到那群人心中的想法,既然在赫尔梅斯损失了那么多,自然得找其他地方来补足。 „Father,” sees him not to speak, Horne somewhat worries, „now is not ten years ago, Anpei Moore also no longer is that Moore Your Majesty. Has a look at Loki Family! Now Otto Loki is also closed in imperial palace! You are Imperial Prime Minister, has the extremely high prestige in the people, so long as stands, draws in another two respected families again, these noble can certainly led by you!” “父亲,”见他不说话,霍恩有些着急起来,“现在不是十年前了,安佩因.摩亚也不再是那个摩亚陛下了。看看洛西家！现在奥托.洛西还被关在皇宫里呢！您是御前首相,在民众中又有着极高的威望,只要站出来,再拉上另外两大家族,那些贵族一定都会以您为首的！” „Stands?” The Quinn Earl eye has narrowed the eyes, in the tone has taken dangerous meaning. “站出来？”奎因伯爵眼睛眯了起来,语气里带上了一丝危险的意味。 „......” Horne obstructs immediately, he in a terrified way lowered the head, is answer, likely for oneself argued likely muttered, „you did not have to stand that side Anpei Your Majesty actually, not? Otherwise you also why said oneself got sick, is unable to see the person. If old King, you personally will certainly persuade these noble, stable focusing on kingdom.” “呃……”霍恩顿时窒住,他惶恐地低下头,像是回答、又像是为自己辩解般喃喃道,“您其实也没有非要站在安佩因陛下那一边,不是吗？否则您又何必称自己病了,无法见人。如果是老国王的话,您一定会亲自劝说那些贵族,以王国的稳定为重的。” Hofford hears Yanqing sighed, he was too young a point, „how was, you thought that Anpei Moore couldn't see this point?” 霍弗德闻言轻叹了口气,他到底还是太年轻了一点,“就算是又如何,你觉得安佩因.摩亚看不到这一点吗？” „What?” Horne has gawked staring. “什么？”霍恩愣了愣。 „I will make a bet, now outside mansion is having several eyes to stare at us, which people saw including me, which places went, Anpei has certainly been well aware.” Before Earl returns to the desk sits down, „you guess me, if saw these noble, he to me? Don't forget, even if he discarded the entire Knight group, where the controlling force to Kingdom Capital to will not go weakly. That day of Anpei ascending the throne, he started to replace personal guard and castle guard! Plots a rebellion under the opposite party nose blatantly? You think when is appropriate he hangman's rope set to my neck on, these will feudal lord dispatch troops into battle to save me?” Speaking of the place of indignation, he could not even bear has pounded on under the table fiercely, „why to today, looked my throughout is outside noble, but was not Loki Family and Tokat Family, you understand now!” “我敢打赌,现在府邸外正有好几双眼睛盯着我们,包括我见了哪些人,去了哪些地方,安佩因一定心知肚明。”伯爵回到书桌前坐下,“你猜我若是见了那些贵族,他会怎么对我？别忘了,哪怕他丢掉了整个骑士团,对王都的控制力也不会弱到哪里去。从安佩因登基的那天起,他就开始着手更换亲卫和城堡卫兵了！在对方眼皮底下公然谋反？你觉得当他把绞索套到我的脖子上时,那些领主会起兵救我吗？”说到愤慨之处,他甚至忍不住猛地拍了下桌子,“为什么到了今天,来找我的始终是外地贵族,而不是洛西家和托卡特家,你现在明白了么！” Horne has held breath a cold air, „why don't that you return to the territory first? There at least has your Knight and mercenary soldier, serf who in addition recruits, even if he wants disadvantageously to you......” 霍恩倒吸了口凉气,“那您为什么不先回到领地去？那里至少有您的骑士和佣兵,再加上征召的农奴,就算是他想要对您不利……” Earl shakes the head, „Quinn Family took root in this place is too long. Branch, distant relative, industry and influence...... Even if I can go out of town quietly, is unable to exit all person belts. So long as there is any slightest sign of trouble, they will not have the good end, I cannot make the so rash action. In fact, I keep in Shining Light City, is in itself a guarantee. Pleads illness in excuse does not see already the limit of being I can express, in addition, has nothing to do again.” 伯爵摇摇头,“奎因家在此地扎根太久了。分支、远亲、产业、势力……即使我能悄悄出城,也无法把所有人都带出去。只要有任何风吹草动,他们都不会有好下场,我不能做出如此轻率的举动。事实上,我留在辉光城中,本身就是一种保证。托病不见已是我能表示的极限,除此之外,再也没有什么可做的了。” Is close with Kingdom Capital, this once was the place that the family was proud, now actually has become his fatal soft rib, this has saying that was a satire. 与王都紧密相连,这曾是家族引以为傲的地方,现在却成了他致命的软肋,这不得不说是一种讽刺。 „Yes...... But I do not think.” At this moment, out of the door has resounded a strange sound suddenly. “是么……但我并不这么认为。”就在这时,门外陡然响起了一个陌生的声音。 Hofford immediately complexion big change, the speaker very obviously is not the retinue or the guard in mansion, otherwise impossible makes so the action of affronting . Moreover the steward should defend when out of the door, why this person opens the mouth, hadn't outside responded? 霍弗德顿时脸色大变,说话者很明显不是府里的仆从或侍卫,否则不可能做出如此冒犯之举,而且管家就应该守在门外,为什么这人开口时,外面却没有丝毫反应？ „Any person!” Horne has a big shock similarly, his back passes away flurriedly, wants weapon that seeks to defend oneself, may only be able to hold a candlestick finally. “什么人！”霍恩同样大惊失色,他慌乱地背过身来,想要寻找一把防身的武器,可最终只能操起一盏烛台。 „Is I,” door opens accordingly, appears in front of Hofford Quinn, is one both strange and does the familiar golden hair female, „you still remember me? Sir Earl.” “是我,”房门应声而开,出现在霍弗德.奎因面前的,是一位既陌生又熟悉的金发女子,“你还记得我吗？伯爵大人。”
