If all smooth, in the spring of next year here will then not need me to assume personal command personally.” “此处情况一切良好,政务厅已经完全正常运转,琥珀局长留下的军情局干员在各处活动,‘处置’了大量不安定因素,大大推进了秩序重建工作。如一切顺利,明年春天这里便不需要我亲自坐镇了。” „Un, this best, you can also return to the north to handle that side Matter Empire as soon as possible personally Northern Region stability very important.” “嗯,这样最好,你也能尽快返回北方亲自处理那边的事情-帝国北境的稳定非常重要。” Victoria deeply lowers the head: „Yes, your majesty.” 维多利亚深深低下头:“是,陛下。” Gawain nods in the hologram projection, later said: „Right, Maggie here all well, Rebecca and she became very good friend, you do not need to be worried.” 高文在全息投影中点了点头,随后说道:“对了,玛姬在这边一切安好,瑞贝卡和她成了很好的朋友,你不必担心。” „Thank you to her looking,” Victoria said that although expression as always indifferent indifferent, the eyeground has sincere thanks, „Maggie was the friend who I most trusted, I was very happy that she can also add on your busy.” “感谢您对她的关照,”维多利亚说道,表情虽然一如既往冷漠淡然,眼底却带着真诚的感谢,“玛姬是我最信赖的朋友,我很高兴她也能帮上您的忙。” Gawain un, the atmosphere then fell into later shortly stiff and awkward. 高文嗯了一声,随后气氛便陷入短暂的僵硬和尴尬中。 Anybody alone and Victoria conversation time, the atmosphere will always fall into similar condition unavoidably. 任何人单独和维多利亚交谈的时候,气氛总是难免会陷入类似的境况。 This Duke of Ice and Snow is really not a person who is good at the expression, because even the expression is always indifferent, she will often make the atmosphere the awkward silence in the conversation, once the proper business finishes talking, among conversation then was only left over awkwardly. 这位冰雪公爵实在不是一个善于言辞的人,甚至由于总是表情冷漠,她在交谈中往往会让气氛变得冷场,一旦正事谈完,交谈者之间便只剩下了尴尬。 She becomes accustomed, but communication opposite Gawain seems like some not to adapt. 她对此习以为常,但通讯对面的高文似乎有些不适应。 perhaps to look for some topics ended the conversation steadily, after Gawain continues to meet silent, suddenly said: „You also had reached adulthood......” 或许是为了找些话题来平稳结束交谈,高文沉默持续了一会之后突然说道:“你也老大不小了啊……” The Victoria tranquil indifferent expression is a little instantaneously stiff: „Ah?” 维多利亚平静淡然的表情瞬间有点僵硬:“啊？” „Although there is Fendel, need not is worried about the successor issue, but don't yourself consider to get married?” “虽然有芬迪尔,不用担心继承人的问题,但你自己不考虑成家么？” Victoria: „Flight of steps leading to a palace hall...... your majesty?” 维多利亚:“陛……陛下？” „You are only -year-old younger than two Hetty, you two, some places looked like, I have also urged Hetty a while ago, should get married must get married. Do not dislike me to be wordy, my many are Snow's good friend, his later generation I should look after......” “你只比赫蒂小两岁,你们两个啊,有些地方都太像了,我前阵子还劝过赫蒂,该成家还是要成家的。你不要嫌我啰嗦,我多少是斯诺的好友,他的后代我是应该关照的……” „Your majesty, this matter...... this matter do not say at this time,” Victoria reveals a flurry unexpectedly rarely, „I will consider that own matter, I will consider!” “陛下,此事……此事就不要在这时候说了,”维多利亚竟罕见地露出一丝慌乱,“我会考虑自己的事情,我会考虑的！” The magic circuit communication slightly was hung up by opposite Victoria hurriedly, Gawain sits after the desk, expression a little dumbfounded. Stands Amber unable to bear flip the supercilious look in side: „You also were really old, how the topic was saying was saying can arrive urges the marriage?” 魔网通讯被对面的维多利亚略显匆忙地挂断了,高文坐在书桌后,表情有点愣神。在旁边站着的琥珀忍不住翻了翻白眼:“你还真是岁数大了,怎么话题说着说着就能偏到催婚呢？” „After saying the proper business, chatted the daily family activity while convenient, what having wasn't right?” Gawain actually seems quite innocent, „, moreover I was speak thoughtlessly a saying.” “说完正事之后顺便谈谈家常,有什么不对么？”高文倒是显得颇为无辜,“而且我就是随口一说。” Amber curls the lip, as if also wants to whisper anything, but before she opens the mouth, the gate of office was shoved open suddenly. 琥珀撇了撇嘴,似乎还想嘀咕点什么,但在她开口之前,办公室的门突然被推开了。 Hetty holds big bunch of documents to appear in the entrance, and turns toward Gawain to walk. 赫蒂抱着一大堆文件出现在门口,并向着高文走来。 Sees in the opposite party hand that big bunch of documents, Gawain felt that the forehead faint ache gets up. 看到对方手里那一大堆文件,高文就感觉脑门隐隐疼痛起来。 In line with cannot by the mentality that oneself have a headache about, he looked up Hetty one, spoke thoughtlessly saying: „Hetty, you also had reached adulthood......” 本着不能让自己一个人头疼的心态,他抬头看了赫蒂一眼,随口说道:“赫蒂啊,你也老大不小了啊……” Hetty stares, but also without said the proper business about document with enough time, then feeling brain latter chill...... 赫蒂一愣,还没来得及说关于文件的正事,便感觉脑后一阵恶寒…… 『Joins the bookmark, easy reading』 『加入书签,方便阅读』
