When Aouine's Her Highness the Eldest Princess enters the hall two buildings seems tagging along after ‚Ella’ or ‚Luoning’ the queens of two snow and ice. Hall peacefully if still winter lonesome, if the ghosts and demons across the people, the sound rustle fall, becomes the powder frozen, such as Miirnian on glacier said: ‚Spectre can swallow the sounds of people.’ 埃鲁因的长公主殿下走进大厅二楼时仿佛尾随着‘艾拉瑟’或者‘洛宁娜’两位冰雪的女王。大厅安静犹若冬寂,又如鬼魅穿过众人,声音簌簌落下,冻成粉末,就如冰川上的敏尔人所言:‘幽灵可以吞噬人声。’ The Brando's vision receives from the ostentatious tower, happen to with the Gryphine's vision relative, Elven Princess hand-held parapet, sharp-eyed like sword, visits him exhaltedly, making his heart jump. 布兰多的目光从浮华的楼台上收回来,正好与格里菲因的目光相对,精灵公主手扶栏杆、目光锐利如剑,居高临下地看着他,令他心头一跳。 In the Brando heart feels in the Princess Gryphine vision indistinctly somewhat different kind meaning, seems the executioner to look at death penalty convict that vision, the cold ice is cold. 布兰多心中隐约感到格里菲因公主目光中有些别样的意味,就好像行刑者看死刑囚徒那种目光,冷冽冰寒。 „What's wrong?” previous life this, he also never sees Princess to look at itself with such look. “怎么了？”无论是前一世还是这一世,他还从未见过公主拿这样的眼神看自己。 Unusual silent only maintained the moment, Princess Gryphine took back the line of sight, this formally announced the banquet to start in two buildings, the musicians recovered probably, melodious xylophone sound in hall. 异样的寂静只维持了片刻,格里菲因公主收回视线,这才在二楼上正式宣布宴会开始,乐师们好像才回过神来,悠扬的木琴声又在大厅中。 The beforehand all as if are an misconception, but Brando looks that Her Highness the Princess turns around to move toward downstairs, in the heart does not feel faintly right, he has turned head, looked that puts on make-up Betis Princess Little Prince to ask to the side: „Halutz, what has your older sister also said with you?” 之前的一切仿佛是个错觉,但布兰多看着公主殿下转身走向楼下,心中隐隐感到不对,他回过头,看向身边化妆成贝狄丝公主的小王子问道:“哈鲁泽,你姐姐还和你说过一些什么？” „Teacher......” Halutz starts to speak but hesitates, snow white slender neck under light splendid, but above covered entirely the close beads of sweat, seems somewhat anxious. “老师……”哈鲁泽欲言又止,雪白纤细的脖子在灯光下熠熠生辉,但上面布满了细细密密的汗珠,显得有些紧张。 At this time, two people back broadcast the sound that measured Yin to interrupt the Halutz words: „Lord Viscount.” 正是这时,两人背后传来一个阴测测的声音打断了哈鲁泽的话:“子爵大人。” Brando has turned head, saw that a getting old court lady is standing in oneself and Halutz behind. The court ladies wear a light blue ceremony long skirt. Gray-haired, each wrinkle on face seems one point of dignity, only then saw when them the serious look melts and shows a sequenced smiling face slightly: „Carder Viscount, Miss Betis, the Princess palace is looking for you.” 布兰多回过头,看到一位上了年纪的女官正站在自己与哈鲁泽身后。女官穿一身浅蓝色的仪式长裙。头发斑白,脸上的每一道皱纹仿佛都是一分威严,只有看到他们时严肃的神色才稍稍消融、露出一个程序化的笑容:“卡德尔子爵,贝狄丝小姐,公主殿正在找你们。” „Her Highness the Princess? Looks for us?” “公主殿下？找我们？” „Yes, Her Highness the Princess is waiting for you and Miss Betis in that side passes.” The court ladies replied. “是的,公主殿下正在那边等着你与贝狄丝小姐过去。”女官答道。 „What matter does Her Highness the Princess ask us to have?” In the Brando heart the suspicion has, he always feels Princess Gryphine that ice-cold look on purpose. Let alone Halutz leaves from his elder sister there, Her Highness the Princess asks them to pass now, obviously not for this ‚younger sister’. “公主殿下找我们有什么事么？”布兰多心中疑窦顿生,他总觉得格里菲因公主那个冰冷的眼神意有所指。何况哈鲁泽才从他姐姐那里离开,公主殿下现在又找他们过去,显然不是为了她这个‘妹妹’而来。 The present all are entirely different from the event that historically has. Brando knows that in this has certainly the memory of Carder to cause trouble, but must exclude from the dreamland these memories, and found the goal of behind them aiming. It is not an easy matter. 眼下的一切已经与历史上发生的事件迥然不同。布兰多知道这里面一定有卡德尔本身的记忆作祟,但是要将这些记忆从梦境之中剔除出来,并且找到它们背后指向的目标。并不是一件容易的事情。 Brando thinks of a possibility suddenly: „If in this dreamland, Carder Viscount is the Her Highness the Princess enemy, how can?” If Carder Viscount stands in the Gryphine's opposite, then Her Highness the Princess that look was perhaps easy to understand. 布兰多忽然想到一个可能性:“如果在这个梦境之中,卡德尔子爵是公主殿下的敌人,会如何？”如果卡德尔子爵是站在格里菲因的对立面,那么或许公主殿下那个眼神就容易理解了。 „But if Carder Viscount stands in the Eldest Princess opposite, who then his status might is?” “但若卡德尔子爵是站在长公主的对立面,那么他的身份很有可能会是谁？” Although the dreamland is only the mysticism, but the mysticism auto-building, will not look like the person impossible baseless imagination to have never seen the thing, even Fantasy Creature, dragon and ghost, still mostly emerge in person's story in real world, for example the horse of grows the horn. The bird of prey of eagle first lion body, Carder Viscount appear here banquet in other words, itself should replace another person in this banquet. 梦境虽然只是迷思,但迷思不会自动生成,就像是人不可能凭空想象出从未见过的事物,即使是幻想生物、龙与鬼怪,也大多脱胎于人在现实世界之中的见闻,例如长角的马。鹰首狮身的猛禽,也就是说卡德尔子爵出现在这个宴会中,本身应该是代替了这个宴会之中的另外一个人。 „Who can that person be? The memory that Carder survives will certainly choose some to experience similar person in this scene with him, this person certainly not nameless, Halutz that because he at least should represent with Betis Princess produces some are the relation.” “那个人会是谁？卡德尔残存的记忆一定会在这个场景中挑选某个与他经历类似的人,这个人一定不会籍籍无名,因为他至少应该与贝狄丝公主所代表的哈鲁泽产生某系联系。” Brando remembers a matter suddenly. In Halutz gets married before Elara finally, in fact on him has an engagement. Engagement is the Archduke of Anlieke adopted daughter, a woman named, this woman historically also is really the nameless, but Brando knows that she is actually Element Unsealed wizard, status in private is the assassin and scout of Anlieke trained. 布兰多忽然想起一件事来。在哈鲁泽最后与艾拉拉成婚之前,事实上他身上是有一桩婚约的。婚约者是安列克大公的养女,一个叫做艾塞的女人,这个女人在历史上还真是籍籍无名,但布兰多知道她其实是一个要素开化的巫师,私下的身份是安列克培养的刺客与探子。 In other words. If Halutz turned into Betis, becomes the Princess Gryphine younger sister in this dreamland, then his status likely is in this dreamland. Scout and assassin who is a Duke of Anlieke side. 也就是说。如果说哈鲁泽变成了贝狄丝,在这个梦境中成为了格里菲因公主的妹妹,那么他的身份很可能就是这个梦境之中的艾塞。一个属于安列克公爵一方的探子与刺客。 Brando feels afraid suddenly, he thinks that actually the Carder Viscount unfinished desire is what? Assassinates the regret of failure? Assassinates the successful lamentation? 布兰多忽然感到不寒而栗起来,他想到卡德尔子爵未竟的愿望究竟是什么？是刺杀失败的遗憾？还是刺杀成功的悔恨？ If the former...... 如果是前者…… He shivers with fright, has looked back two building one again, that closed door seems like some unclear indication to linger in his heart. Brando then looks at Halutz ——, if they must kill Princess Gryphine to leave this dreamland, this Little Prince can accept? 他打了个冷战,再度回过头看了二楼一眼,那扇紧闭的门像是某个不详的征兆萦绕在他心头。布兰多回头看着哈鲁泽——如果他们要杀死格里菲因公主才能离开这个梦境,这位小王子能接受么？ He shakes the head in the heart. 他在心中摇了摇头。 „Lord Viscount?” The old court lady looks at Brando to be distracted, asked one. “子爵大人？”年长的女官看布兰多走神,又问了一句。 Brando then turns head, to her nodded, hints to lead them to go to that side Princess. Just like the court lady said that Princess Gryphine in hall one side they, she is really standing in Anson XI oil painting portrait below, this ancestor was Aouine had brought the short resurgence, looking like her was the same. 布兰多这才回过头来,对她点了点头,示意带他们去公主那边。正如那女官所言,格里菲因公主果然正在大厅一侧等他们,她站在安森十一世的油画画像下面,这位先祖曾经为埃鲁因带来过短暂的中兴,就像是她一样。 But two people results look like are also similar. 而两人的结局看来也是类似。 Princess raises head to look at that oil painting, until noticing two people approaches, turns head. Brando notices in her silver pupil the ice-cold look no longer, that as if before saw is only the misconception. 公主仰头看着那幅油画,直到注意到两人靠近,才回过头来。布兰多注意到她银色的眸子里冰冷的神色不再,仿佛之前看到的那一幕只是错觉。 Eldest Princess sees Brando and Halutz, on the face shows the temperate happy expression: „Before made you wait for a long time, Carder Viscount. At the present the circumstance is critical, Betis she is also young, I have to confess her something beforehand.” 长公主看到布兰多与哈鲁泽,脸上露出温和的笑意:“之前让你久等了,卡德尔子爵。而今情势危急,贝狄丝她又还小,我不得不事先交代她一些事情。” “It's nothing.” Brando replied, what in the heart actually thought was about the beforehand guess. If Carder is really an assassin, then his status has possibly exposed before then, otherwise before Her Highness the Princess, will not show such look. “没什么。”布兰多答道,心中却想的是关于之前的猜测。如果卡德尔真是刺客,那么他的身份很可能在此之前就已经败露了,否则公主殿下之前不会露出那样的神色。 But what he is curious is Eldest Princess also asks him to make anything now, if she must begin to counterattack, the best opportunity is when Halutz and he separates, rather than makes her younger sister return to side him. 但他好奇的是长公主现在又叫他来做什么,如果她要动手反制,最好的机会是在哈鲁泽和他分开的时候,而不是重新让她的妹妹回到他身边。 Princess Gryphine looked at their one eyes, asked low voice: „Mr. Viscount. Still remembers before me, with you have spoken words?” 格里菲因公主看了他们一眼,又小声问道:“子爵先生。还记得我之前和你说过的话么？” „Which...... Her Highness the Princess says?” Brando is startled slightly, as the substitute of this dreamland, he simply not before this all memories. Said that before is all conforms to the historical development, he can also guess, but the entire banquet has broken away from his control now completely. “……公主殿下是说哪一句？”布兰多微微一怔,作为这个梦境的代替者,他根本没有关于这之前一切的记忆。说是之前的一切符合历史上的发展,他还可以猜测,但现在整个宴会已经完全脱离了他的控制。 Princess Gryphine looked at his one eyes, the look somewhat ridiculed: „Archduke of Anlieke then, me knows immediately he has arranged tonight. However I plan to publicize you before that in the relations of Betis. I once told you ——, if I encounter the mishap, you and Betis can receive the throne the right of inheritance, stands openly to oppose Anlieke.” 格里菲因公主看了他一眼,眼神有些嘲弄:“安列克大公马上便至,我知道他今天晚上有所安排。不过我打算在那之前公开你于贝狄丝的关系。我曾告诉你——若我遭遇不测,你和贝狄丝则可以接过王位的继承权,站出来公开反对安列克。” „nobles, although with me has not stood. But also not necessarily stands on the side of Anlieke wholeheartedly, since a Ampere Searl war, Anlieke has also set up many enemy even personal enemies. I die. They will certainly not look on Anlieke to mount the throne ; Seifer Family has old hate with him, I once put my elder brother horse, when I die, although he not necessarily can become your ally, but can be the Anlieke enemy. In addition the Lantolian old friend can be your firm backing......” “贵族们虽然未曾与我站在一起。但也未必是真心实意站在安列克一边,自从安培瑟尔一战以来,安列克也树起许多敌人甚至仇人。我一死。他们一定不会坐视安列克登上王位;西法赫家族与他有旧恨,我曾放我那兄长一马,等我一死,他虽然不见得能成为你的盟友,但一定会是安列克的敌人。此外兰托尼兰的旧友会是你们坚定的后盾……” „Elder sister......” Halutz cannot bear open the mouth to say. “姐姐……”哈鲁泽忍不住开口道。 „Betis, do not interpose.” Gryphine looks at one's own ‚younger sister’, is somewhat serious: „from today henceforth, you must learn to bear patiently.” “贝狄丝,你不要插话。”格里菲因看着自己的‘妹妹’,有些严肃:“从今天开始,你必须学会隐忍。” She also sighed, was somewhat exhausted: „I do not want to arrive this step, Madara eye covetously. Aouine had actually missed the last chance. But Kirrlutzian is not necessarily willing to face directly undead, therefore they will then perhaps support you, this is Aouine final opportunity ——” 她又叹了口气,有些疲惫:“我并不希望走到这一步,玛达拉虎视眈眈。埃鲁因其实已经丧失了最后的机会。但克鲁兹人未必愿意直面亡灵,所以说他们说不定会转而支持你们,这是埃鲁因最后的机会——” Brando calmly is listening to these words in the one side, he is somewhat strange, in his heart subconsciously had regarded historically that assassin Carder Viscount. He knows that Princess Gryphine had possibly known Carder Viscount status. But what made him feel strange, why does she also want to be in front of his to say these words? 布兰多在一旁静静地听着这番话,他有些奇怪,他心中已经下意识地将卡德尔子爵当成了历史上那个刺客。他知道格里菲因公主很可能已经知道了卡德尔子爵的身份。但令他奇怪的是,她为什么还要当着他的面说出这番话来？ „could it be that she did not fear did oneself leak?” “难道她不怕自己泄密？” „Said she will have treated as a deceased person completely?” “还是说她已经完全将自己当作一个死人？” How Brando for a moment is not fully correct this Her Highness the Princess to think, but the dreamland developed the present to be separated from his cognition completely, Carder Viscount dream has overlapped with his dream and Halutz dream in one, he even can smell in that air the thick smell of blood. 布兰多一时间也猜不透这位公主殿下是怎么想的,但梦境发展到现在已经完全脱离了他的认知,卡德尔子爵的梦与他的梦、哈鲁泽的梦已经重叠在了一起,他甚至可以嗅到那空气中浓稠的血腥味。 He then looked at Halutz one, ‚Little Princess’ same face is anxious. 他回头看了哈鲁泽一眼,‘小公主’同样一脸忧虑。 Princess Gryphine as if confesses the last words. Then shows a faint smile, holds up the wine glass to come —— Brando to know that to their two people historical Eldest Princess impossible dead to one's own not detected, otherwise she will not shift before that safely Halutz, these words that she speaks today, had actually said to core member of crimson traveler on the same day, is only is not so straightforward. 格里菲因公主仿佛是交代完遗言。然后微微一笑,向他们两人举起酒杯来——布兰多知道历史上的长公主不可能对自己的死毫无察觉,否则她也不会在那之前就将哈鲁泽安全地转移出去,她今天说的这些话,其实当日也对绯红旅人的核心成员说过,只是没有这么直白。 Now wants to come, Eldest Princess on the same day the meaning in words already very obvious, but pitifully merely only then upperclasswoman detected some clue. 现在想来,长公主当日话里的意思已经十分明显,但可惜仅仅只有学姐察觉了一些端倪。 In the Brando heart cannot bear for a while somewhat depressing, he sees the Princess movement, takes up wine glass —— from nearby galactic disk, although did not have to care, but after Amandina several months the attack training, he can also be now grasped the etiquette between some noble slightly. 布兰多心中一时忍不住有些压抑,他看到公主的动作,也从一旁的银盘上拿起酒杯——虽然一直没太在意,但经过安蒂缇娜几个月来的突击训练,他现在也算得上是稍微掌握了一些贵族之间的礼仪。 „Mr. Viscount, for you, for Betis, Aouine, cheers.” Eldest Princess visits him with the silver pupil, holds up the wine glass, when speaking of ‚for Aouine’ her some sentimental slightly out-of-control, but still naturally put the lip to sip one wine glass. “子爵先生,为了你,也为了贝狄丝,还有埃鲁因,干杯。”长公主用银色的眸子看着他,举起酒杯,说到‘为了埃鲁因’时她的感情稍微有些失控,但仍旧十分自然地将酒杯放到唇边抿了一口。 Brando is just about to raise glass, but at this time, nearby Halutz put out a hand to waste suddenly the cup in his hand, drops on the rug. 布兰多正要举杯,但正是这个时候,一旁的哈鲁泽忽然伸手将他手中的杯子打飞出去,跌落在地毯上。 „Is undrinkable, Teacher, in liquor poisonous.” The Little Prince somewhat low voice reminder said excitedly. “不能喝,老师,酒里有毒。”小王子有些激动地小声提醒道。 Brando is startled slightly, but on the face too the surprised color, his raises head is not coming to see front Her Highness the Princess. Since guessed correctly Carder Viscount status, he also knows that in early the liquor may have the issue, he did not plan to drink the liquor, but never expected that Halutz dares to disobey his elder sister's meaning unexpectedly. 布兰多微微一怔,但脸上并无太多惊讶之色,他抬起头来看着自己面前的公主殿下。既然猜出了卡德尔子爵的身份,他也早知道酒里可能会有问题,他本来就并不打算将酒喝下去,但没想到哈鲁泽竟然敢于违逆他姐姐的意思。 Although merely is a mysticism, but is very rare regarding this Your Highness Little Prince. 虽然仅仅是一个迷思,但对于这位小王子殿下已经很难得了。 „Betis!” Her Highness the Princess by own younger sister's movement was made dumbfounded completely, Brando saw him to get hold of the fist, the careful brow almost wrinkled in the same place. Her took a deep breath, coldly opens the mouth to ask: „What are you making?” “贝狄丝！”公主殿下被自己妹妹的动作弄得完全呆住了,布兰多看到他握紧了拳头,细细眉头几乎皱在一起。她深深吸了一口气,才冷冷开口问道:“你在做什么？” „Elder sister, Mr. Brando he was impossible to harm you...... you and you to make a mistake, he was not that person!” Halutz does not dare to contradict with the elder sister, can only lower the head the softly argument to say. “姐姐,布兰多先生他不可能会害你……你、你弄错了,他不是那个人！”哈鲁泽不敢和自己姐姐顶撞,只能低下头小声地辩解道。 „Brando?” “布兰多？” Princess Gryphine stares slightly, she looked at one's own ‚younger sister’, looked at Brando again: „Who is that? Betis, what are you saying?” 格里菲因公主微微一愣,她看了看自己的‘妹妹’,再看了看布兰多:“那是谁？贝狄丝,你在说什么？” „N-no......” Halutz then realized oneself say inadvertently, rushes to change a statement: „Carder Viscount he, he is a good person.” “不、不是……”哈鲁泽这才意识到自己说漏了嘴,赶忙改口道:“卡德尔子爵他,他是个好人。” Brando bewilderedly on a good person card, the key is this good person card is a boy issues him, this makes him feel somewhat awkwardly. But he has not spoken the argument, but is calmly looks on this to happen, because of that moment, he has been able to feel that the heart of hearts has anything to be turbulent. 布兰多莫名其妙就中了一张好人卡,关键是这张好人卡还是个男孩子发给他的,这让他感到有些尴尬。但他并未出言辩解,而是静静地旁观这一幕发生,因为那一刻,他已经可以感到内心深处有什么东西动荡起来。 This is palpitation of dreamland. 这是梦境的悸动。 In other words at present this, in some time, in some banquet, Carder Viscount personally has possibly experienced. 也就是说眼前这一幕,在某个时代,某个宴会之中,卡德尔子爵可能曾经亲身经历过。 Betis lies in her elder sister is just disputing. 贝狄丝正在于她的姐姐争执着。 The recollection that this brought back Carder Viscount, Brando as if can feel Knight that this loses the reputation is returning to his respective that age. 这一幕勾起了卡德尔子爵的回忆,布兰多仿佛可以感到这位失去名誉的骑士正在回到他所属的那个年代。 His raises head, saw that the entire hall is changing, revives after Aouine the architectural style, gradually changes to a more ancient time. Honor the relief style of Anson XI time vanished, the guardrail of staircase as if turned into a plainer woodware. Surrounding all widgets, the people clothing and personal adornments are changing, finally backs up to Brando —— not, exactly said that is Brando body the style of some elf onee-san very familiar period. 他抬起头,看到整个大厅正在发生变化,从埃鲁因复兴后的建筑风格,逐渐变化到更古老的时代。荣光的安森十一世时代的浮雕风格消失了,楼梯的扶栏仿佛变成了更为古朴的木制品。周围的一切装饰物,人们身上的衣饰都在发生着变化,最终倒退到一个布兰多——不,确切的说是布兰多身体中的某位精灵御姐十分熟悉的时期的风格。 Time that the Wind Elf's honor returns. 风精灵的荣誉重返的时代。 Is elf —— 是精灵—— Brando once listened to that time that Saers raised her to live repeatedly, but all that at present sees were such knowing well, was almost just the same as his hearing. 布兰多曾听圣奥索尔多次提起过她生活的那个时代,而眼前所见的一切是如此的熟识,几乎就和他的听闻一模一样。 He has turned head, saw that Halutz has blocked in front of Princess Gryphine. 他回过头,看到哈鲁泽已经拦在了格里菲因公主面前。 „Betis, he is the Anlieke assassin! He has not been that Carder who you know, he had betrayed you.” “贝狄丝,他是安列克的刺客！他早已不是你认识的那个卡德尔,他早已背叛了你。” „Elder sister , cannot absolutely so, because of Brando...... Mr. Carder his ——” “姐姐,不会的,绝对不会如此,因为布兰多……卡德尔先生他——” The Halutz low voice argument said that but he thinks of a fearful possibility suddenly, the attractive cheek one becomes snow white. He turns head, some fears are staring at Brando, „Mr. Brando, you......” 哈鲁泽小声辩解道,但他忽然之间想到一个可怕的可能,漂亮的脸蛋一下变得雪白。他回过头来,有些恐惧地盯着布兰多,“布兰多先生,你……” But at the same time, palpitation in Brando heart also even more obvious. 而同一时间,布兰多心中的悸动也愈发地明显了起来。 He as if hears a sound to reverberate to say in oneself heart repeatedly: „Killed her!” 他仿佛听到一个声音在自己心中反复回响道:“杀了她！” „Killed her!” “杀了她！” „Killed them!” “杀了她们！” At that moment he had been clear that is Carder Viscount status. Brando's places on the Earth Sword scabbard, his slightly dangling eyelid, in the palm is the cold sweat. 那一刻他就已经清楚,那是卡德尔子爵的身份。布兰多的手放在大地之剑的剑鞘上,他微微垂下眼睑,手心中全是冷汗。 „What to do?” “怎么办？” ( to be continued ) (未完待续) 38 reading net ∷ / 38看書網∷/ Writing first round. 文字首发.
