庭院一时间安静得可怕。Besidessends out‘ah'Miss Adviser of shortsyllablegentlywithlooking aroundMiss merchant.
除了轻轻发出‘啊’的短促音节的幕僚小姐与东张西望的商人大小姐之外。Princess Gryphinestares at a utensil the same as stare atelder brotherone's ownprobably, the look on faceice-coldmustask the personnot to dareeasilyto open the mouth. A Brandohandhas even gotten hold of the sword hilt under coatquietly, is focusing onthesetwobrother and sister'severy action and every movement, hea littlesuspected that thisYour HighnessEldest Princeisbecausedisappointedoversized, butinsanity, but regardless of which situationhecanguaranteeso long as the opposite partydaresto have the illegalmeaningslightly, hedaresto send in the heart of opposite party the Earth Swordblackbladefrontbefore that.格里菲因公主像是盯着一件器物一样盯着自己的兄长,脸上的神色冰冷得叫人不敢轻易开口。布兰多一只手甚至悄悄已经握紧了大衣下的剑柄,紧盯着这两兄妹的一举一动,他有点怀疑这位王长子殿下是因为受打击过大而神经错乱了,但无论哪一种情况他敢保证只要对方敢稍有不轨之意,他就敢在那之前将大地之剑黑色的刃锋送入对方的心脏。As for the Eldest Princestatus, does thistype of thinghave the significance of existencein the Brandoeye?
至于王长子的身份,这种东西在布兰多眼中有存在的意义?ButEldest Princehas no action, hestandsineveryoneline of sight the focus of happening togetherin an unhurried manner, the long hairnaturallydangles, closes one's eyes, among before the lookscould not findanxious——seems likehim, hitsoneusuallyto result incannotordinarygreeting‚afternoonbe good’, rather than ‚pleasegiveme the throne’.
但王长子并没有任何举动,他从容不迫地站在所有人视线的交集的重心,长发自然地垂下,闭着眼睛,神色之间找不到一丝紧张——就好像他之前是打了一个平常得不能再普通的招呼‘下午好’,而不是说‘请把王位让给我’。„Givesme a reason, Elder Brother.”Finally, looks like the waterdropto fall into the elusivevoice of bottom of the wellto be the same, Princesswithbreakslike thisdies the generalsilentvoiceto say.
“给我一个理由,哥哥。”最后,就像是水滴落入井底的空灵声音一样,公主用这样打破死一般的寂静的嗓音说道。Howeveronherfaceas ifsealed an ice.
然而她脸上仿佛封了一层冰。„Reasonis very simple, Gryphine,”Eldest Princeis calm, „, becauseyourequire the timeto unifySouthern Territory, south ofAmpere Searl, youcanfindmanysupporters, Mr.Brando——isTrentheimLord Count, can perhaps replace the Count of Radnorpositionquickly. Alsohas the rightnot to desirethatintenseArchduke of LantolianandArchduke of Viero, Highland Knight, because the reason of Mr.Brandowill also standon the side ofyou, hadunifiedSouthern Territory, at that time, the northno longerwasyourresistance.”
“理由很简单,格里菲因,”王长子心平气和,“因为你需要时间去统一南境,在安培瑟尔以南,你能找到许多支持者,布兰多先生——即托尼格尔的伯爵大人,说不定很快就能取代让德内尔伯爵的位置。还有权欲心没那么强烈的兰托尼兰大公与维埃罗大公,高地骑士因为布兰多先生的缘故也会站在你一边,拥有了统一的南境,那时候,北方就不再是你的阻力了。”„Thenyou,”Princess Gryphineasked: „Becoming the king of north?”
“那么你呢,”格里菲因公主问道:“成为北方之王么?”„Youneed a personto helpyourenege on a promise, butdoes not injure and dignity of royal family. Not onlyso, comescompared withyou, northernnoblesis easierto acceptme, becauseSeifer Familyhas the naturalleadershiptothem. In addition. Gryphine, the northwaris also waiting forus, butI, canbeyournatural screens. A unifiedsouthwith a north of experienceflames of war, whowinswhoto lose, to you have been clear at a glance.”
“你需要一个人来帮你出尔反尔,但又不伤及王室的威严。不仅仅如此,比起你来,北方的贵族们更容易接受我,因为西法赫家族对他们拥有天然的领导权。除此之外。格里菲因,北方还有一场战争正等待着我们,而我,可以作为你们的天然屏障。一个统一的南方与一个经历战火的北方,孰胜孰负,对你来说已经一目了然了吧。”In the Brandoheartmovesslightly.布兰多心中微微一动。Hisraises headcomes, seems likewantsto size upthisAouine'sEldest Prince. Her Highness the Princessis making the samemovementwithher, herraises head. Askedearnestly: „Ifthiswere a lie...... were too rather shoddy, Elder Brother.”
他不禁抬起头来,似乎是想要重新打量这位埃鲁因的王长子。公主殿下正在与她做相同的动作,她抬起头来。认真地问道:“如果这是一个谎言……未免太拙劣了一些,哥哥。”„North-southfinallywar, butis decided, therefore happened. YourI am very clear, Gryphine, even if the presentnorthhasincompleteBlack Blade Legion, as well asnotthatobedientWhite Lion Legion, wantsto defeat the south, is actually the impossiblematter.”
“南北终有一战,但取决于是发生在什么时间。你我都很清楚,格里菲因,即使是现在的北方坐拥一个残缺不全的黑刃军团,以及并不那么听话的白狮军团,想要战胜南方,其实已经是不可能的事情。”Levinerepliedcalmly, thenheinclined the head and listened attentively. Probablywas confirming that Deacon Woodhas walked away. „Will Holy Cathedral of FireallowAouineto have the civil warin these circumstances?”列文平静地答道,然后他侧耳倾听了一下。像是在确认伍德主祭已经走远。“炎之圣殿会允许埃鲁因在这样的情况下发生内战么?”„Cannot.”
“不会。”„Theyhope that youcanmakesuchcompromisewith the north, bestisAouinecanmaintain the present situation, after looking likeyear of thatmagus , is same.”
“他们希望你能与北方作出这样的妥协,最好是埃鲁因能维持现状,就像是占星家之年那之后发生的一切一样。”„But——”
“但是——”„Ifyoudo have the absolutestrengthto sweep across the north? Inthemproposedwith enough timeprotestedbeforehand——”
“如果你们有绝对的实力席卷北方呢?在他们来得及提出抗议之前——”
The deathly stillnesslooks like the dust that in the gardenprecipitates. Letallsoundin additionbend downin the groundis motionless.
死寂就像是庭院中沉淀的尘埃。让一切除此之外的声音伏在地面一动不动。„With all due respect,”Brandocould not bearopen the mouthfinally, hethoughtprobablyaskedfor a long timesame: „Prince, although the queenandArchduke Sifahtreat as the puppetyou, butactually do youhaveas far as I knowin the backparticipate inthis‘game'?”
“恕我直言,”布兰多终于忍不住开口了,他像是深思熟虑了许久一样问道:“王子殿下,虽然王后与西法赫大公将你当做傀儡,但据我所知其实你有在背后参与这场‘游戏’?”Levinehas turned headsuddenly, todirection that the soundsends out.列文豁然回过头,面向声音发出的方向。Heonerestrainedlikelong swordsameeyebrow, the whole personbecomessuddenlyis probably big: „During youimaginemealso are more outstanding, Mr.Brando, rejoicedvery muchdoes not serve asyourenemy. Howyoucantellmeyouto drawthisconclusion. Is the guess, is the intuition?”
他如同长剑一样的眉毛一下收敛了起来,整个人好像变得豁然高大起来:“你比我想象之中还要优秀一些,布兰多先生,很庆幸不用作你的敌人。你能告诉我你是怎么得出这一结论的。是猜测,还是直觉?”
It is not. But the predecessorplants trees, descendantenjoys the cool air. Previous generation the record of few words of historyaboutthisprince, evenhiswhereaboutsno onecan talk clearly. But the naturalcuriousplayerexcelsatverymaking groundless accusations, aboutanalyzingLevine? Orneson? Sifahcharacter and article of life experienceactuallyandis not infrequent.
都不是。只不过前人栽树,后人乘凉而已。前世的历史关于这位王子殿下的记载不过只字片语,甚至连他的下落都没有人说得清楚。但天生好奇的玩家十分擅长于捕风捉影,关于分析列文?奥内森?西法赫性格与人生经历的文章却并不在少数。
Some arebaseless the states. Some are the guesses, some are the rumors, Your HighnessEldest Prince who so long asandfrontthistheseinformationhasreallyrelates, drawing the conclusion was very simple.
有一些是凭空社稷。有一些是猜测,有一些是传言,但只要把这些信息和面前这位真实存在的王长子殿下本人联系起来,得出结论就十分简单了。„Because of the ambition, an ambitiouspersonwill not be willingbecomes the board game piecemerely.”Brandofeltoneselfnevermomentsuchsane, seems ordinary the lucktospirit / mind, in the pastsawallspeculationsaboutthisYour HighnessEldest Princebecame the foundation that at this momenthespokeat this moment.
“因为野心,一个有野心的人是不会甘愿仅仅是成为棋子的。”布兰多觉得自己从未有一刻这么理智过,仿佛福至心灵一般,过去所看到的关于这位王长子殿下的一切推测都成为此刻他此刻发言的基础。Hestandson the shoulder of giantprobably, raises headopens the mouthto saycalmly: „You, sincecanfindDeacon Woodto strugglea slim chance of survivalinsuchhopeless situation, howinitiallyto really do as one pleases?”
他就好像是站在巨人的肩膀上,抬起头冷静地开口道:“你既然能在这样的绝境之中找到伍德主祭挣扎出一线生机,当初又怎么会真的任人摆布?”„Very splendid, butthat is true.”Eldest Princesighed: „Ihave prevented something, inrangein one's power. The action of Royal Motherhassomemeto be glad to see him succeed, but the methodIandnot necessarilyapprove.”
“很精彩,但的确如此。”王长子叹了口气:“我阻止过一些事情,在力所能及的范围之内。母后的行动有一些我乐见其成,但方法我并不见得认同。”„Let alonein anyone heartallhas the personal gain, Ido not think that thisiswhatevil.”Hereplied.
“何况任何人心中皆有私利,我并不认为这是什么罪恶。”他答道。Her Highness the Princesswantsto open the mouth, butshestoppedsuddenly. Shelooked atBrandoone, hintedhimto continue, regardingsuchtrust, Brandounderstood, heopened the mouthto ask: „Actuallythenyourpersonal gainiswhat, actually do youstandinthat side?”公主殿下想要开口,但她忽然止住了。她看了布兰多一眼,示意他继续说下去,对于这样的信任,布兰多心领神会,他开口问道:“那么你的私利究竟是什么,你究竟站在那一边?”„Ihave said that westand. I, mustbecome the king of north, butyou, needmeto becomeyouin the northernbarrier.”AmongEldest Princelooks a tranquility.
“我说过,我们是站在一起的。我,要成为北方之王,而你们,需要我成为你们在北方的屏障。”王长子神色之间一片平静。ButBrandocarefullyis observinghisexpressionchange, hehas an intuition, felt that thisprincehas not made a clean breast ofcompletely. Hissubconsciouslylooksto the one side,happen toseesLevine? Ornesonmaidservantfrownsslightly.
但布兰多仔细观察着他的表情变化,他有一种直觉,感到这位王子殿下并未全部吐露真情。他下意识地向一旁看去,正好看到列文?奥内森身边的侍女微微皱了一下眉头。Sheas to sayanything, butEldest Princeput out a handto stophim.
她似乎想说什么,但王长子伸手止住了他。„All theseare the bubble, you are very clearyourresult, is to work asone year or somerely the king of north, is worthpaying the one's ownlife?”
“这一切不过是泡影,你很清楚你的结局,仅仅是想要当一年半载的北方之王,值得付出自己的性命么?”„Elder Brother.”Princess Gryphinecould not bear the opens the mouthfinally.
“哥哥。”格里菲因公主终于忍不住开口了。Eldest Princesmiles, replies: „Gryphine, do youtry unable to be in control of the destiny the taste? Ipledged,one dayIwantto grasp the one's ownpath, even ifoneminuteandonesecond of ——remembers that Iwhen the winterdoes hunt fortell your words?”王长子呵一笑,答道:“格里菲因,你试过自己无法主宰自己命运的滋味么?我发誓,总有一天我要自己掌握自己的道路,哪怕之有一分钟、一秒钟——记得我在冬猎时告诉你的那番话么?”„...... Aouineispiece of Black Forest, yousaidyou, ifthatwolf. Yourchoicesame......”Princess Gryphinefor a momentwill also rememberthatto fall into the clip in snowy areawithit, as well asincarnadinefield of visionbloodstain.
“……埃鲁因就是一片黑森林,你说你若是那头狼。你的选择也会和它一样……”格里菲因公主一时间想起了那个陷入雪地中的夹子,以及染红了视野的血迹。
When the year of magus, the bone-chilling coldcold windblows the plateausceneryalsoto makepeoplefeel that has a chill in the air.
占星家之年,凛冽的寒风刮过高原时的景色至今还让人感到身上有一丝寒意。„Even ifcuts by biting the one's ownleg, is still free, because the wildernessismyhome to return,”Levinereveals the whitetoothto reply: „Let alone, Iwill not necessarily certainly be defeated. Although the northis beset with difficulties, butalwaysalsohasa slim chance of survival. Seeks the opportunity of survivalin the hopeless situation. Skill that Imostexcel.”
“即使是咬断自己的腿,也要自由,因为荒野才是我的归宿,”列文露出白森森的牙齿答道:“何况,我也不一定一定会失败。北方虽然困难重重,但总还有一线生机。在绝境之中寻求生存的机会。正是我最擅长的本事。”„Gryphine, ifyouare unable to beatme, I willbe relentlessdefeatsyou. Iandyou are the same, does not allowAmpere Searlto splitfor a long time, a dayis not good.”Soundreverberation that coldlyinvestibule.
“格里菲因,如果你无法击败我,我会毫不留情地打败你。我和你一样,绝不允许安培瑟尔长久地分裂下去,一天也不行。”冷冷的声音回荡在前庭中。Evenmiss merchanthad a scare, sheturns head, stares the bigeyeto look atthislunatic.
甚至商人小姐都被吓了一跳,她回过头来,瞪大眼睛看着这个疯子。Eldest Princeprobablywas indeed insane, butat leastis a gracefullunatic. Hetoyounger sisterone's owngood a ritual, makingone unable to pick upslightly the fault.王长子的确像是疯了,但至少是个优雅的疯子。他向自己的妹妹行了一礼,叫人挑不出丝毫错处来。
The Her Highness the Princesslookthoughtcoldsome little time. Stopped by calling outhim: „YouthinkIdon't dareto killyou?”公主殿下神色冷然地想了好一会。才叫住他:“你是不是以为我不敢杀你?”„Yes.”
“是。”„......, butIwill not agree toyourrequest.”
“……但我不会同意你的要求。”„Then?”Eldest Princeis not accidental/surprised, askedwith a smile.
“然后呢?”王长子并不意外,笑着问道。Her Highness the Princesscalmlyvisitshim.公主殿下静静地看着他。
......
……Twohorse-drawn vehiclesfrom the manor, manypeoplewait to board the carriagein the gardenone after another.
两辆马车从庄园中鱼贯而出,许多人在庭院中等待登上马车。„Hehas not told the truth.” When Amandinaboards. softlyremindedone's ownLord Thaneone: „Has not at least told the truthcompletely.”
“他没有说真话。”安蒂缇娜上车时。小声地提醒了自己的领主大人一句:“至少没有完全说真话。”„Iknow,yousaythat?”Brandoholdsto get up the carriageone's ownMiss Adviseras always, suchactionmakeshimseeminglybe at variance with the average man. HoweverBrandolooks but not seeregarding the unusualvision that theseservantscast, butraised the headto ask.
“我知道,你是说那一段?”布兰多一如既往地将自己的幕僚小姐扶上马车,这样的举动使他看起来异于常人。不过布兰多对于那些下人投来的异样目光视而不见,而是抬头问道。„Ido not know, butIthought that hehas concealed, intuition.”
“我不知道,不过我觉得他有所隐瞒,直觉。”„Intuition?”
“直觉?”„Intuition is also experience, Lord Thane.”Amandinarepliedearnestly.
“直觉也是一种经验,领主大人。”安蒂缇娜认真地答道。Brandothinks,thoughthascertaintruth. Hehas turned head, looks atanothercarriage. emblem on carriagenearlycannot see the colordarkly. Inhisheartalsohas the similardoubts, since Your HighnessEldest Princehas beenhepasses throughabsolutelyhas seen the calmestperson, suchperson, is unlikelyto tell the truthcompletely.布兰多想了想,觉得有一定的道理。他回过头,看着另一辆马车。马车上的徽记黑沉沉近乎看不出颜色。他心中亦有同样的疑惑,王长子殿下绝对是他穿越以来见过最沉稳的人,这样的人,不大可能完全说真话。But the keyis, the thing that heconceals is actually anything.
但关键在于,他隐瞒的东西究竟是什么。Hehas turned headagain. Pinched a poking head inRomaine'stip of the nose, making the latter‚oh’fall. Thenheboards the carriage, andcoldHer Highness the Princess of faceto asktoLittle Prince the soundwas good, sat downsideRomaine.
他再回过头。捏了一下探出头来的罗曼的鼻尖,让后者‘唉哟’一声跌了回去。然后他登上马车,向小王子与冷着脸的公主殿下问了声好,才在罗曼身边坐下。Princess Gryphineis frowning, seems like ponderinganything.格里菲因公主皱着眉头,似乎是在思考什么。Presentsapproximatelyonly thenBrandounderstands the idea in herheart. Buthehas not talked too much. Raises the curtain screen, lookstoout of the window. Out of the windowAmpere Searlscenerygraduallyis falling into the twilight.
在座大约只有布兰多才明白她心中的想法。但他并未多言。只是掀起帘子,看向窗外。窗外安培瑟尔的景色正在逐渐陷入暮色之中。from today henceforth, Levine? Orneson? Sifah, her elder brother, no longeris the Corcovafamily'scrown prince, in the commonappointment of PrincessandunderHoly Cathedral——hewill haveonelegitimately, brand-newtitle, Seifer Familynewfamily.从今天开始,列文?奥内森?西法赫,既她的那位兄长,就不再是科尔科瓦家族的王储,在公主与圣殿的共同任命之下——他将有一个合法的、崭新的头衔,西法赫家族的新任家族。ThisnewArchdukewill be appointednorthfitting out, todealwith the war of Lion Maneperson, butpromisedin facthebecomes the king of north, everyonewill be well aware.
这位新任的大公将得到任命整备北方,以应对与狮鬃人的战争,但事实上就是许诺他成为北方之王,所有人都会心知肚明。Althoughall thesehave not made a final decisionfinally, butBrandohas been ableto guess correctly that the answer of Her Highness the Princessisanything.
虽然这一切还未最终敲定,但布兰多已经可以猜到公主殿下的答复是什么。Thisseems like the compromise of royalist.
这看起来像是王党的妥协。But onlyfewseveralpeopleunderstandtruth.
但只有寥寥数人明白其中的真相。Maysomepeoplethink that Her Highness the Princessmustbe stronger, perhapsbutalsosomepeoplethink that thisismaturerpolitical means. ButmakesGryphinefeelwhattrulydoubtsis, elder brotherone's ownis seemingly confident.
或许会有人认为公主殿下应当更强硬一些,但或许也有人认为这才是更加成熟的政治手段。但真正让格里菲因感到疑惑的是,自己的兄长看起来信心十足。No oneknows that thismade a wrongchoice.
没人知道这是不是做了一个错误的选择。Butlooks likeinBrando, finallyis actually good. Aouineneedsis not the status of principle of righteousness, butexactlytime, so long asgiveshimagaintime, heis capable ofsavingthiskingdom.
但在布兰多看来,结果其实还算不错。埃鲁因需要的不是大义的名分,而恰好正是时间,只要再给他一点时间,他就有能力挽救这个王国。ButnowEldest Princegivesthem, ishislong-awaitedthing. So long asnorthernnobleis no longer ready to make trouble. Princesscanleapmake a moveto tidy up the southernchaotic situation.
而如今王长子给他们的,正是他梦寐以求的东西。只要北方的贵族不再蠢蠢欲动。公主就能腾出手来收拾南方的乱局了。Whatis more important, threeyears of peace, threeyearslater, the enemy who Aouinecanfacewill no longer limitat presentthesecompletely useless.
更重要的是,三年的和平,三年之后,埃鲁因可以面对的敌人将不再局限眼下这些土鸡瓦狗。Eldest Princehashisplan, Brando are so?王长子有他的打算,布兰多自己又何尝不是如此?Valhallaisall thesecornerstones, inhisheartincomparablybelieves firmlythis point.瓦尔哈拉就是这一切的基石,他心中无比确信这一点。Helooked atsun setgolden color outside eye piecefinally, inthatdirectionis a flashseashore, as ifcansee the Faithwind Circlemagnificentsceneryby the goldencloud layer. Thenheputs down the hanging curtain, no longerpondersthesethings.
他最后看了一眼窗外的日暮金色,在那个方向上是一线闪光的海滨,仿佛可以透过金色的云层看到信风之环壮观的风景。然后他放下垂帘,不再去思考这些事情。Trulywhatwantsas forEldest Princeisanything, suchhistory, gaveround tripnot to judge.
至于王长子真正想要的是什么,这样的历史,就交给未来去判断好了。At leastregardingBrando.
至少对于布兰多来说。
