Otto Percy was awakened by noise by a noise. 奥托.帕西是被一阵嘈杂声所吵醒的。 He opens the heavy eyelid, sized up candle on all around candlestick to see the bottom, the careful flame made the room appear very gloomy. 他睁开沉重的眼皮,打量四周烛台上的蜡烛已经见了底,细细的火苗让房间显得十分阴暗。 In the dungeon is unable to see the daytime and dark night, candle became he has weighed the time only the thing. Three double-hour, they will then be replaced probably every other one time, simultaneously exchanges, his front dinner place. 地牢里无法看到白昼与黑夜,蜡烛成了他唯一衡量时间的东西。大概每隔三个时辰,它们便会被更换一次,同时换上的,还有他面前的餐盘。 However that is when most starts. 不过那是在最开始的时候。 Now the time that candle or food, deliver is getting more and more dilatory, sometimes he even after hungry awaking, will discover that was firm is still a darkness. 现在无论是蜡烛还是食物,送过来的时间都越来越拖沓,有时候他甚至会在饿醒之后,发现牢里仍是一片漆黑。 How long had he been closed here? The Otto holding down forehead shook shaking, wants to be been more sober by oneself. The long-time unexposed detention makes his mental effort thin and pale, especially after waking up , was still in the pitch-dark darkness, will make him feel that one type by the hopelessness that all people forget. 他已经被关在这里多久了？奥托按住额头晃了晃,想让自己更清醒一些。长久不见光的拘禁让他心力憔悴,特别是醒来之后仍处于伸手不见五指的黑暗中,会令他感到一种被所有人遗忘的无助感。 But he must result in goes on living. 但他必须得活下去。 Because of father...... And even the entire Loki Family destiny, grasps in the Anpei hand. 因为父亲……乃至整个洛西家的命运,都握在安佩因手中。 Otto haunches the weak body, turns over/stands up to get out of bed, arrives at the parapet besides supplementing the dinner place and watering can slowly, he also hopes that the guard can give him a shaving knife. The beard that for a long time has not shaved has been covered with the entire cheeks, the feed will leave behind the fat and residual above each time, the time long has naturally been able to send out an ill-smelling flavor, looks like the long mildew sends the rotten rind. If the opposite party is in suspense, gives them to shave does not have the issue. 奥托撑起虚弱的身体,翻身下床,缓缓走到栏杆边除了补充餐盘和水罐外,他还希望看守能给他一把刮刀。好久未剃的胡子已经长满了整面脸颊,每次进食都会在上面留下油脂和残渣,时间久了自然会散发出一种难闻的味道,就像是长霉发烂的橘子皮。如果对方放心不下,交给他们来剃也没问题。 How to say again, he is also noble, concerns the request of correct manners discipline should not be rejected. 再怎么说,他也是一名贵族,关乎仪容的要求不应该被拒绝。 Afterward Otto hears the buzz of conversation that outside the iron gate has heard. 随后奥托听到了铁门外传来的谈话声。 „Were these people up to mischief a moment ago? Inside closes, but Percy Family eldest son!” “刚才那些人在搞什么鬼？里面关的可是帕西家的长子！” From the volume, the meaning that the speaker has not talked in whispers, as if not care is heard general. 从音量来看,说话者并没有窃窃私语的意思,似乎根本不在意被人听见一般。 „Makes fun and ridicules, Clown is not does this matter.” “捉弄和嘲谑呗,小丑不就是干这事的么。” „Simply was insane, if usually these acrobatic troupes dared to affront the child of Earl, only feared that next day will turn into the fish food of river bottom. They are one crowd do not have the status vagrant people!” “简直是疯了,若是平时这些杂技团胆敢冒犯伯爵之子,只怕第二天就会变成河底的鱼食。他们不过是一群毫无身份的流浪民罢了！” „You also know are usually, usually will the eldest son be closed in the dungeon? Now Your Majesty likes looking is not the acrobatics that these fellows perform, if no inciting of Lord of Dawn, I did not think that they dare to make this matter to come.” “你也知道是平时,平时长子会被关在地牢里？现在陛下喜欢看的不就是那些家伙表演的把戏么,若没有晨曦之主的授意,我可不觉得他们敢做出这种事情来。” „Bah, you blindly guess.” “呸,你就瞎猜吧。” „I was speak thoughtlessly in any case a saying, you believed it or not. On the other hand, how you do not believe can, gives in that great person to trade a supper?” “我反正是随口一说,你爱信不信。话说回来,你不信又能如何,去给牢里的那位大人物换一份晚餐么？” „Ai, ok...... Several saliva, ate have not been able the deceased person.” Along with these words, sound sound of one string of key mutually collisions. “哎,算了……只是几口唾沫罢了,吃了又不会死人。”随着这句话,一串钥匙相互碰撞的声音响了起来。 „Precisely, if this is Your Majesty desired, you do not bring upon oneself dully. Goes quickly, I am also waiting for closing.” “就是嘛,若这是陛下希望看到的,你不是自找没趣吗。快去吧,我还等着收盘子呢。” The iron gate exudes the bitter fricative, prison warden held food to walk come in. 铁门发出酸涩的摩擦声,牢头捧着一盘食物走了进来。 „Yo, Sir, did you awake?” Sees by near Otto in parapet, the opposite party appears somewhat accidental/surprised, but on face awkward quick was then covered up, „just right, had today's supper. candle I will trade tomorrow again, that side internal affairs Prime Minister has forgotten newly delivers.” “哟,大人,您睡醒了？”看到靠在栏杆边的奥托,对方显得有些意外,但脸上的尴尬很快便被遮掩过去,“正好,把今天的晚餐吃了吧。蜡烛我明天再换,内务总管那边忘了把新的送过来。” Otto had not answered that his bottom of heart surged a greatest sorrow, the request that shaves continually has forgotten raising. Only has the word freely, but he has been able to obtain the beforehand noise from two people dialogues the truth. Clown of acrobatic troupe bumped into has delivered meal the person, then hugged is trying to please the meaning of Anpei Moore, how many saliva has spat toward his food in? 奥托没有回话他的心底涌起了一股莫大的悲哀,连刮胡子的要求都忘了提。尽管只有只言片语,但他已能从两人的对话中得出之前嘈杂声的真相。杂技团的小丑碰上了送餐人,然后抱着取悦安佩因.摩亚之意,往他的食物里吐了几口口水？ This shame makes his double cheek boiling hot, as if there is fire to be ordinary in the roasting. 这份耻辱让他的双颊滚烫,仿佛有火在烘烤一般。 But the prison warden has not cared about his answer, after changing the dinner place, left the prison cell quickly, although the ornaments and decoration in room are fine just like the Duke mansion, but that depressed depression makes any person not be willing in this to treat much. 而牢头也没有在意他的回答,自顾自地换完餐盘后,很快又离开了牢房虽然房内的摆设和装饰宛如公爵府邸般精致,可那股沉闷的压抑感让任何一个人都不愿意在此多待。 As the sound of footsteps goes far away, has covered Otto quietly. 随着脚步声远去,沉寂笼罩了奥托。 That instantaneous, he cannot even bear want to scream loudly, wants the dereliction of duty of giving scolding opposite party, wants to angrily rebuke Anpei neglects...... But he such has not done finally. 有那么瞬间,他甚至忍不住想要大叫出声来,想要痛骂对方的失职,想要怒斥安佩因的忽视……可他最终没有这么做。 Because that meaningless former will only make the next replacement time come late, but latter perhaps center „old friend” below cherishes. 因为那毫无意义前者只会让下一次更换时间来得更晚,而后者说不定正中“老朋友”的下怀。 Used to shame his supper as for that he touches radically does not want to touch. 至于那份用来羞辱他的晚餐,他根本碰都不想碰。 Otto starts to suspect, all these that oneself make are whether correct. 奥托不禁开始怀疑,自己所做的这一切是否正确。 In he prepares to return to the bed, suddenly the whole body trembles fiercely in Yu Guangzhong of corner of the eye, wheat porridge in dinner place does not know when turned into one bowl of Black water unexpectedly! 就在他准备回到床上时,突然浑身猛地一颤在眼角的余光中,餐盘里的麦粥不知何时竟然变成了一碗黑水！ The Percy eldest son rubbed the eyes, moves before the dinner place slowly, holds wheat porridge cautiously. 帕西长子揉了揉眼睛,缓缓挪到餐盘前,小心翼翼地捧起麦粥。 That is not his misconception, is not the shadow that the weak flame has, but was the gruel surface truly changed to the black, was ordinary just like the viscous ink. 那并非他的错觉,也不是微弱火光产生的阴影,而是粥面确确实实化作了黑色,宛如粘稠的墨汁一般。 In an instant, in his mind has flashed through an electric light. 刹那间,他脑海中闪过了一道电光。 Acrobatic troupe, Clown and trick...... Are all these that person arrange? 杂技团、小丑、戏法……难道这一切都是那个人安排的？ " Hugo said that you once were the ordinary acrobat, how real false Ah? did you know Your Majesty Roland? " 「约寇说你曾是个平凡的杂技演员,真的假的啊？你是怎么认识罗兰陛下的？」 " A coincidence. Why will settle on me as for Your Majesty, probably is my acrobatic performance also well. " 「一次巧合而已。至于陛下为何会看中我,大概是我的杂技表演得还不错吧。」 " Oh? Can under the demonstration? " 「喔？能演示下吗？」 " Might as well, came a simplest cuttlefish to spit black ink to be good. " 「无妨,就来个最简单的乌贼吐墨好了。」 Otto is staring at the wheat porridge moment, suddenly inserted in the finger the bowl! Tried to find out after a small little while, fingertip has transmitted a slightly rough touch. 奥托怔怔地盯着麦粥片刻,忽然将手指插进了碗中！摸索一小会儿后,指尖传来了一丝略显粗糙的触感。 " This...... Does this achieve? Why does the volunteer fire brigade change color suddenly? " 「这……这到底是怎么做到的？为什么水会突然变色？」 " Has not ended, looks at this tissue, what is above? Now I admit in the water to soak wet it, then with fire drying, guesses that what will have? " 「还没完呢,看这张薄纱,上面是不是什么都没有？现在我把它放进水里泡湿,然后再用火烘干,猜猜会发生什么？」 " What does not have...... Wait/Etc., that is...... Character? " 「什么都没有嘛……呃,等等,那是……字？」 " What can distinguish to write is what? " 「能分辨出来写的是什么吗？」 " Makes me take a look, is this your name? " 「让我瞧瞧,这是你的名字？」 " Right, Hill Fawkes, this is my name. " 「没错,希尔.福克斯,这就是我的名字。」 Otto presses firmly between the fingers that piece of rough thing gently, proposed slowly the gruel surface it seems almost and transparent general, even if soaks directly in wheat porridge, is very difficult to distinguish. When strokes gently with the hand, can feel existence of this tissue. 奥托轻轻捏住那片粗糙之物,缓缓提出粥面它看上去几乎和透明的一般,哪怕直接浸在麦粥里,也很难辨别出来。只有用手摩挲时,才能感觉到这张薄纱的存在。 He turns very quiet, arrives by candlestick quickly, launches it little. 他屏住呼吸,快步走到烛台旁,将其一点点展开。 The light black water mark starts to shed actually, but Candlelight also swung to extinguish. 淡淡的黑色水迹开始褪却,而烛火也已摇摇欲熄。 Hurry up...... Hurry up...... Hurry up...... Hurry up, in his heart shouts, the shadow that drags anxiously as if from all directions covers, but in his hand is grasping, is this world only light. 快点……快点……快点……快点,他心中焦急地喊道,摇曳的阴影仿佛从四面八方笼罩过来,而他手中握着的,则是这个世界唯一的光明。 In that moment that character mark appeared, candle extinguishes. 就在字痕显现的那一刻,蜡烛熄灭了。 The darkness has swallowed the entire dungeon. 黑暗吞噬了整个地牢。 Otto actually could not bear smile in a soft voice. 奥托却忍不住轻声笑了起来。 He holds down the shoulders that shivers, forces in the mouth the tissue, then crawls is returning to near the parapet, swallows with the gruel big mouth. 他按住颤抖的双肩,将薄纱塞进嘴里,然后爬着回到栏杆边,和着粥大口咽下。 The warm current of warming up has rolled the throat and internal organs, making his whole body be full of the strength. However compared with wheat porridge, what is warmer is his heart. 温热的暖流滚过喉头与脏腑,让他浑身充满了力量。不过比起麦粥,更温暖的是他的心。 Such silent is drinking wheat porridge, drop of tears tumble from the corner of the eye. 就这么无声的喝着麦粥,一滴眼泪从眼角滚落下来。 His insistence has not wasted finally. 他的坚持终于没有白费。 On the tissue only then short several characters, the graceful handwriting fly upwards, and was having a childhood familiar flavor. 薄纱上只有短短几个字,字迹娟秀而飞扬,并带着一股儿时熟悉的味道。 " Do not fear, I came. " 「别怕,我来了。」
