QuinnEarlfor a while in same place, inwine cupincludinghandfallsnot to notein the place.奎因伯爵一时愣在原地,连手中的酒杯滑落在地都没有注意到。Seesherinstance, inhismindthencannot help butappearedtwoname--formercompanionshismostlife, becauseactuallylost the loveto be elegant, butfinally, the latterwas the love of thatlosing, was the person who foreverimpossibleagainmet. Althoughleaves for nearlytenyears, herchangedhigh, the appearancewas also more outstanding, buthe can still distinguish, two peoplemannersthatclose, healmostblurted outformer'sname.
见到她的瞬间,他的脑海中便不由自主地浮现出了两个名字——前者陪伴了他大半个人生,却因为失去挚爱郁郁而终,后者则是那名失去的挚爱,亦是永远不可能再相见的人。尽管离别近十年,她的个头变高了许多,模样也更为出众,但他仍然能分辨出来,两人的神态是那么的相近,以至于他差点将前者的名字脱口而出。„Does father, youknowher?” The Hornewordsmakehimfromrecoverwith great difficulty.
“父亲,您认识她?”霍恩的话让他好不容易从恍惚中回过神来。Hoffordstands upslowly, the sinkingsound asked that „youwere...... Andrea?”霍弗德缓缓站起身,沉声问道,“难道你是……安德莉亚?”„What? Yousaid that sheis...... Thatandthatpassed away......”Hornestaredin a big way the eye, is lookingtwo people of looking at each other, does not dareto believemutters.
“什么?您说她是……那个、那个已经去世了的……”霍恩瞪大了眼睛,来回望着对视的两人,不敢置信地喃喃道。„Master, is really young lady!” The facial expression of oldstewardis more excited than anyone, „Iwill not admit mistakesabsolutely, sheinheritedmadame'sallcharacteristicssimply!”
“老爷,真的是大小姐!”老管家的神情比谁都要激动,“我绝对不会认错,她简直继承了夫人所有的特点!”„It seems likeyoustillrememberme,”Andreaunemotionally saying that „that followingmattertalked about.”
“看来你还记得我,”安德莉亚面无表情道,“那么接下来的事就好谈多了。”Hoffordcannot help butthump a sound, the daughterawakensat heartis the witchmatter, tomost people are a secret, even ifher mother, oneselfwifeFennasalsoconceals the truthin the drum. Whenserves the Andreaservanttoheaccusedthis matter, hepromptlymakeshad decided the servant who--will know the circumstances of the matterthrustin the river, camouflaged the accident/surpriseto drown, andused the trusted subordinateto plot the carriagefallingcliffevent.霍弗德心里不由得咯噔一响,女儿觉醒为女巫的事情,对绝大部分人来说都是一个秘密,哪怕她的母亲,自己的夫人费纳希也瞒在鼓里。当伺候安德莉亚的仆人向他告发此事时,他当机立断地做出了决定——将知情的仆人推入河中,伪装成意外溺毙,并动用亲信策划了马车坠崖事件。Althoughheknows that suchdoeswill possibly make the opposite partybear a grudge itself, butregarding the person of parting forever, the hatred is also a commemorativemethod. Oncejustmeetsonce more, such faintsentimentthenhas become a sharpthorn.
虽然他知道这么做可能会让对方记恨自己,但对于永别之人,恨意也是一种纪念方法。只不过一旦再次相遇,这样淡漠的感情便成了一根锐利的刺。Especiallywhenhedid not determine that the initialprocedurewas whether correct, thisprickingeven morewas obvious.
特别是在他也不确定当初的做法是否正确的时候,这份刺痛感就愈发明显。
But why the Earlclearpresentwill have more importantmatter--Andreato appearinShining Light City, herstatuswill be is really false, as well asthat " Ido not think that " will beWhat does it mean, thesecompared withinterrogationpasttomistakeimportant.
但伯爵清楚现在还有更要紧的事——为何安德莉亚会出现在辉光城,她的身份到底是真是假,以及那句「我并不这么认为」又是什么意思,这些都比质问过去的对错更加重要。Hedepressesin the heartallquestionsandtrains of thought that wavesto hintto saytoHorne,„youexitfirst.”
他压下心中所有的疑问与思绪,向霍恩挥手示意道,“你先出去吧。”„Father!” The latterworriesto say.
“父亲!”后者担忧道。„Illuminatesdoing that Isaid!” The Hoffordtoneis unquestionable.
“照我说的做!”霍弗德的语气不容置疑。Seeshisintentionto decide, Hornereluctantlyleft the room.
见他心意已决,霍恩才勉强离开了房间。„Do not alarmotherpeople,”Earlthentoldto the steward, „simultaneouslyclosed the gardenfront door, the lights in entrance hallalsooneandextinguished, ifin the mansionsomepeople asked that said that Iwas draftingdocument/secretary, no onepermittedto disturbme, understood?”
“不要惊动其他人,”伯爵接着向管家吩咐道,“同时关闭庭院大门,门厅里的灯火也一并熄了,若府中有人问起,就说我在起草文书,谁也不准打扰我,明白了吗?”„Mythismanages! However......”stewardtouches the head, „thesefriends who young ladybringswhat to do?”
“我这就去办!不过……”管家摸了摸脑袋,“大小姐带来的那些朋友怎么办?”„Friend?”Hisdoubtlooked atAndreaone, „firstbringsto the banquet hall, entertainswell.”
“朋友?”他狐疑地看了安德莉亚一眼,“先带到宴会厅,好好招待起来吧。”„Yes, Master!”
“是,老爷!”As the gatewas closed, in the study roomfell intoimmediatelyquietly. Theyhave looked at each otherlike thisfor a long time, cannot bearuntilEarlbreaksfirstsilent, „, althoughyouandmy daughtergrowsomewhatare quite similar, butIcannotsuchcarelessrecognizing, youcertainlybeAndrea. After allshewalksis only16 years old, butnowcrosses the quicktenyears......”hispaused, „mymeaningis, do you have the methods of otherproofstatus?”
随着门吱呀一声被关上,书房里顿时陷入了沉寂。两人就这样对视了许久,直到伯爵忍不住先打破缄默,“虽说你和我的女儿长得颇有几分相似,但我不能就这么草率的认定,你一定是安德莉亚。毕竟她走的时候只有16岁,而现在已经过了快十年……”他顿了顿,“我的意思是,你还有其他证明身份的方法吗?”In fact, hehas believed the origin of opposite party, suchaskedwantsto seek an affirmation--, even ifperfecteasyaccommodates the technique, is unable to changeintrinsic of person. Fromherevery action and every movement, Earlcanseethatglow the flowershadow.
事实上,他已经相信了对方的来历,这么问不过是想寻得一个肯定而已——即使再完美的易容手法,也无法改变一个人的内在。从她的一举一动中,伯爵能看到过去那位辉光之花的影子。Andreadoes not haveanswer, buthas openedboth handsdirectly, bow of the goldenmagic powerappearsin her hands. Thisflowing the long bow of radiantbrillianceis condensinggradually, and littlereduction, evolveduniqueappearance--finally, butthathetocelebratedaughter'sbirthday, let the gift that craftsmenbuiltspecially.安德莉亚没有回答,而是直接张开了双手,紧接着一把金色的魔力之弓出现在她手中。这把流淌着璀璨光辉的长弓逐渐凝聚,并一点点缩小,最后演变成了一个独特的模样——而那正是他为了庆祝女儿的生日,特意让匠人打造的礼物。Hence, in the Hoffordheartdoes not haveanysuspicionagain, thisalready and carriagedamages the bow and arrow that suiting the beginnerusedtogether, even ifnowishe, is unable accuratelyto describeitsappearance.
至此,霍弗德心中再也没有任何怀疑,这把适合初学者使用的弓箭早已和马车一同损毁,如今即使是他,也无法准确地描述其模样。Butsince childhoodinAndrea that the archeryis interested inespecially, obviouslyhas also borne in mind.
而从小就对射术格外感兴趣的安德莉亚,显然还一直记在心里。„Reallyisyou......”Earlheaves a deep sigh, „why do youwantto come back? Iinitiallydeliveredgoal that youwalk, ishopes that youcango on livingsafe and sound.”
“果然是你……”伯爵长叹一声,“你为什么要回来?我当初送你走的目的,就是希望你能安然无恙地活下去。”„Is onlythis?”Andreatakes back the long bow, „is notbecauseis afraidby the bystanderis known, Imperial Prime Ministerhasoneto be temptedbyDevil, butfallendaughter? Idid not thinkoneself are protected, butdid not get rid. Regardingwitch, not the place of true security, if notmyluckis good, has run intoonegroup of destinysamepeople, perhapsnowalreadydiedin the foreign land.”
“只是这样而已吗?”安德莉亚收回长弓,“不是因为害怕被外人知晓,御前首相有一位受魔鬼引诱而堕落的女儿?我可不觉得自己是被保护着,而不是被抛弃的。对于女巫来说,并没有真正安全的地方,如果不是我运气好,遇到了一群命运相同之人,恐怕现在早已死在异乡了。”Heopened mouth, is actually not ableto refute, becausethis was also heat that time one of the worries. IfAndreais the witchmatteronceexposes, the entirefamilypossiblyfalls intoto the crisisin--is not everyone canbeat the shacklesownfamily membersatisfiedly, delivers to otherChurchornoblehands. MakesQuinn Familyfacethisdifficultchoicewithit, would ratherhemakes the decision.
他张了张嘴,却无法反驳,因为这也是他当时的顾虑之一。倘若安德莉亚是女巫的事情一旦曝光,整个家族都可能陷入到危机之中——不是每个人都可以心安理得地将自己的亲人拷上枷锁,送到教会或其他贵族手中。与其让奎因家族来面临这个艰难的抉择,倒不如他一个人做出决定。„Thesepassed, Iaskyoutonot to bring up old scores.” The Andreasternsay/way, why„you are very certainly curiousI to enter the Earlmansionsplendidly, after all the guardwill not believemyexcuseeasily. Moreover after seeing the steward, Iwaited fora whileinout of the doorspecially, whatthatwas calledyour fatherwas the familysuccessors? Iwere when many a suchyounger brother?”
“不过那些都已经过去了,我来找你并不是为了翻旧账的。”安德莉亚正色道,“你一定很好奇我为什么能够堂而皇之的进入伯爵府,毕竟卫兵不会轻易相信我的说辞。另外见到管家后,我特意在门外等待了一会儿,那个叫你父亲的是家族继承人么?我什么时候多了一个这样的弟弟?”„Hehas continuedfrom the branch...... Yourmotherafteryouleavesoneyearthendied of illness, butQuinn Familyneeds a successor.”Hoffordsaidin a low voice.
“他是从分支过续来的……你的母亲在你离开后一年便病逝了,而奎因家族需要一位继承者。”霍弗德低声说道。
If there is not appearedtenyears ago thataccident/surprise, thispositionwas the eldest daughter.
如果没有出现十年前的那场意外,这个位置本来是属于长女的。
After hearingthisnews, Andreahas gawkedfirststaring, in the eyepupil are also afterward many have wipeddimly. Shesilenta whilehas opened the mouth saying that „no matter what, the Quinn Familyhead of householddid not have the meansto change playerstemporarily. Your Majestyhopes that youcango a step further, butis not the presentsteps downsecretly. Bycurrentsituation, besidesQuinnEarl of head of 3 Great Families, hedoes not approveanyrepresentative.”
听到这个消息后,安德莉亚先是愣了愣,随后眼眸中也多了一抹黯淡。她沉默了一会儿才开口道,“不管怎样,奎因家族的家主暂时没办法换人了。陛下希望你能更进一步,而不是现在就退居幕后。以目前的情况来说,除了三大家之首的奎因伯爵外,他不认可任何代理者。”„What does it mean?”Hoffordis hardto understand the meaning in opposite partywordsfor a while, „Your Majesty that yousaid refers to--”
“什么意思?”霍弗德一时难以理解对方话里的含义,“你说的陛下是指——”„NaturallyisKing of Greycastle, Roland WimbledonYour Majesty, mythistimecomesalsobyhisrequest.”Andreatook a deep breath, every single word or phrase asked that „is SirEarl, youwillingto becomenewLord of Dawn?”
“当然是灰堡之王,罗兰.温布顿陛下,我此次来也是受他之托。”安德莉亚深吸了一口气,一字一句地问道,“伯爵大人,你愿意成为新的晨曦之主吗?”
