老贝阿德在隔壁屋子里叫唤着,趴在木桌上十三四岁的少女应了一声,从时明时暗的蜡烛上移开视线,就在不远处,窗户外连日来的天空阴阴沉沉,天际黑云密布,总是交错着一道又一道紫色的闪电。她抬起头看了这糟糕的天气一眼,叹了口气,走出门去问道:„Father, how?”
“父亲,怎么了?”„Goesto bringmycape, pulls the carriage, on this day the air/Qicannot work, Isend tocityto makeToscultivate/repair the farm tool.”Bayardis wearing the shoeson the one's ownbench, at the same timereplied.
“去把我的斗篷拿来,把马车牵出来,这天气干不了活儿,我把农具送去城里让贝托斯修一下。”老贝阿德正在自己的长椅上穿鞋子,一边回答道。Qiao Shistands, inownroomgatelooks atout the living roombad weather, knits the browssomewhatworried, under the sleeve that pulls the whitearmis overlappingbefore the apron. „Can thisweatheralsogo out?”Shesomewhatwould rather notsaying.

“没关系的,我的好孩子,这个天气下那些坏东西也不会出来活动。”老贝阿德哈哈一笑。Qiao Shiknowsownfather'sviewisgoodto be called itselfto feel relieved, sinceearly summersmallThanehas startedto straighten out the public security, the villagehas rarely been ableto seeGoblin and thievestrail, herpursed up lips, maintains total silence. „Ok, went.”Bayardlookstemperatelyone's owndaughterthatwith the face that the late wifelooks likemore and more, told.乔诗知道自己父亲的说法是好叫自己放心,自从夏初小领主开始整治治安以来,乡间已经很少能看到地精与强盗的踪迹了,她抿着唇,一语不发。“好了,去吧。”老贝阿德温和地看着自己的女儿那张与亡妻越来越像的面孔,吩咐道。Qiao Shinodded. Turns aroundto go out, in spite of the rainacrosscourtyard. The horse stablebehind the village, sheshoves open the twig door, in the diminutiveshed lodging the rayis very dark, twosmallmaresreallyseemanxiousunderthisweather.

Goodto callthismareto be peaceful, butsomewhatis unusualwith the pasttoday, the mare of thisgreyfuris stamping the feet, the moistbigeyeseemedspeciallybrightin the darkness, insideaccumulatedintenseanxiousray.乔诗点了点头。转身出门,冒雨穿过院子。马厩就在农庄后面,她推开柴门,矮小的棚舍内光线很暗,两匹小母马果然在这个天气下显得焦躁不安。乔诗踩着地上的干草先走到名叫安丝的母马旁边,用手轻轻拍它的脖子,轻声安抚着。好叫这匹母马安静下来,但今天却与往日有些异常,这匹灰色毛皮的母马一个劲地跺着脚,湿润的大眼睛在黑暗中显得特别明亮,内里蕴着强烈的不安的光芒。„What's wrong?”Qiao Shifrowns, feltkeenlysecurefeardoes not come from the horizonbrightthunder and lightning. Butisunderground.
“怎么了?”乔诗皱起眉头,敏锐地感到安丝的恐惧并不是来自于天边明亮的雷电。而是地下。Shesquatsslightly, is staring at the hayrick of stackwith the brightvisioninground, inherline of sight, the stalksshivers the ——onlyflashyoung girlto understandslightly: Is the groundis moving!

Delay of suchmoment, the groundhad only vibratedobviously, the outsidebumpywater puddlehas hadripple, Qiao Shijustwent intooutside the shed lodging, hearsonetypestrangelyhumming sound the soundtransmitsfromnorth.
她微微蹲下去,用明亮的目光盯着堆放在地面上的干草垛,在她的视线中,秸秆微微颤抖着——只一刹那少女就明白过来:是地面在动!一种极为不好的预感浮上乔诗心头,她马上站起来冲向关马的木栅栏,咬牙用双手拖着铁栓将其从锁扣上抽下来丢到地上,然后打开木栅栏。依次将两匹马放出来,再赶着它们冲出马厩。只这么一片刻的耽误,地面已经明显震动了起来,外面坑坑洼洼的水洼已经起了一圈圈波纹,乔诗才刚刚跑到棚舍外,就听到一种古怪的嗡嗡声从北面传来。Shestops the footsteps, subconsciouslyhas turned head, the northpleasantplaceissecureRatherforest that continues. The forestpeak, raisedprobablyhugelight sphere, thatlight spherepenetrated the cloud layer, becauseextremelybrightdazzling, as ifmakesitssurroundingworldslightlyonedark.

她停下脚步,下意识地回过头,北面入眼处是绵延不断的安拉瑟森林。森林顶端,像是升起了一个巨大的光球,那光球穿透了云层,因为太过明亮刺眼,仿佛让它周围的世界都微微一暗。然后震耳欲聋仿佛撕裂空气一样的爆鸣声才像是冲击波一样横扫而过,带起几缕发丝——耳中那嗡嗡声化为隆隆巨响,逐渐又连成一片。形成高亢刺耳的尖啸,仿佛海潮一波连着一波,但渐渐的,声音在耳中变成了嘤嘤嗡嗡仿佛杂音一样的瓮响。然后又形成一波更高的浪头,淹没了一切,树冠还在翻动,枝叶漫天飞舞,电闪雷鸣,风雨交织,四周却好像一个寂静无声的世界。Inthissilentworld, Qiao Shisawpanic-strickenthatlight sphereis increasing, embezzled the skylittle, the cloud layer, itsspheresemblancealsostartedto collapsewith the expansion, blazing the whiteouter coveringto breaksuddenly, the dazzlingflamesplitto shoot, the flameseemed like the cloud cluster to continueto proliferateequallyin all directions, startingto be slow, probablyinhorizon, butsuddenly, shenoticed that the hotcloudarrived atsky oversecureRather, shortlywill embezzle the trimforest.
在这个寂静无声的世界中,乔诗惊恐地看到那个光球正在变大,一点点吞没了天空,云层,它的球形外表也随着扩张开始崩溃,炽白的外壳一刹那之间破碎了,耀眼的火焰从中绽射而出,火焰像是云团一样向四面八方继续扩散,开始极慢,像是远在天边,但忽然之间,她就看到火云来到了安拉瑟上空,顷刻之间将整片森林吞没。
The hotwall that reaches to the skycontinuesto go forward, the sharpdeodar cedar, the black pine of standing upright, the hill of fluctuating, has changed into the sea of fire, the scalding hotauraheads on, her long hairalmosthigh-profiledanceinair current, suddenlyscene, horse stablealreadybeforehertorn to pieces, Qiao Shiscreamedone, thisturned around to run.
那高耸入云的火壁继续前进,尖尖的雪松,挺立的黑松,起伏的山丘,早已化为火海,灼热的气息扑面而来,她一头长发几乎是在气流之中张扬地狂舞着,眨眼的光景,马厩就已经在她面前支离破碎,乔诗尖叫一声,这才转身想跑。Butpitifullylate a point.
但可惜晚了一点。
A loud sound, the flame the shapewith the hurricanepassing over gently and swiftlyentirevillage, allhas been reduced to ashesloudlytogether.
轰然一声巨响,火焰已经形同一道飓风掠过整个农庄,将所有的一切化为灰烬。„Ah––!”
“啊——!”Qiao Shiopened the eyepale, the whole bodyis soakedby the cold sweat. Shesupports the bodyfrom the wooden table, understandsoneselfhadthatnightmare, had passed for a month fromthatfearfulexplosion, althoughsheknowsafterwardthatexplosiontook placein the northdeathfrostforest, the affectedrangealsoonlyarrived innorthMt. Jinquefinally, felleast of the needlehillregion, butin the dream, embezzledsecureRatherforest and villageheractuallydreamto the flamemore than once, a scene of entireLantolianHellsea of fire.乔诗脸色苍白地睁开眼睛,浑身早已被冷汗浸透。她从木桌上支起身子,才明白自己又做了那个噩梦,距离那场可怕的爆炸已经过去了一个月有余,虽然后来她才知道那场爆炸发生在北边的死霜森林,波及的范围最终也只到金雀山以北,落针丘陵以东的区域,但在梦中,她却不止一次梦到火焰吞没安拉瑟森林与农庄,整个兰托尼兰一片地狱火海的场景。Herraises headcomes, to look atmain road of out of the windowtoCousse, bysay/wayforestelegantwengweng, secluded and lonelydeep, treetopsabovedeep bluelike the sea, the faint tracecotton fiberforms the whiteflight path, since thatexplosion, the weatherfeels betterone dayonone day. On the main roadoftenhas the horse riderprocess, in twos and threes, somewhatflaunts the noblebannermostlyis beingnearbyKnight, some go hand in hand the adventurersimply.
她抬起头来,看着窗外通往克库斯的大道,道旁的森林郁郁蓊蓊,幽寂深沉,林冠上空湛蓝如海,丝丝棉絮形成白色的航迹,自从那场爆炸之后,天气就一日好过一日。大道上不时有骑手经过,三三两两,有些打着贵族的旗号多半是附近的骑士,有一些就干脆是结伴而行的冒险者。Thesepeoplesincestartedsuccessivelyto appearhalf a month ago, althoughevery yeartothis monthshareis the day that the adventurergathers, butalsorarelycanseesuchsceneinBernicethissmallplace, let alonetheyclash the northto go.
这些人自从半个月前就开始陆陆续续出现,虽然每年到这个月份都是冒险者聚集的日子,但在伯尼切尔这种小地方也很少能看到这样的光景,何况他们都还是冲北方而去的。„Qiao Shi!”At this timesomepeopleshouted.
“乔诗!”这时有人喊道。Qiao Shisaw that to the person who oneselfgreeted, was occupied by the hunterinnext door, a while agoprobablyin the city, „Unclewhite/shellstop/rest, youcame backfrom the city, hadto seemy father?”Sheaskedhastily. „Bayard, I have seenone sidehimthere the blacksmith, how?” The huntersreplied.乔诗看到那个向自己打招呼的人,是住在隔壁的猎人,前段时间好像去了城里,“贝歇大叔,你从城里回来了,有看到我父亲吗?”她连忙问道。“老贝阿德啊,我在铁匠那儿见过他一面,怎么啦?”猎人答道。„No. The worry, does Unclewhite/shellstop/rest, youknow?”Shetook a look attheseto pass byKnight, thenaskedlow voice.
“没什么。只是担心而已,贝歇大叔,你知道这是怎么回事么?”她瞅了一眼那些路过骑士,然后小声问道。„Did yousaythesemaster knight?” The huntersstandnear the stockade, looks on the roadNoble Knight of thesefreshclotheshigh-spirited horses, heshakes the head: „Theyarefind the person.”
“你说那些骑士老爷?”猎人站在栅栏边,也看着路上那些鲜衣怒马的贵族骑士,他摇了摇头:“他们是去找人吧。”„Finds the person?”
“找人?”„Yes, finds the person.”
“是啊,找人。”

……Wahlendenberg.瓦伦登堡。
After thatexplosion, is nothing more or lessalready for fiveweeks. Ike, YulaandMakarov have Count Oerdingto look atHer Highness the Princess, althoughinsurfacealsoifsafelyelement, butsecretlylater dayduplicate/restoresone daywill becomeanxious. Is goodbecause of can also besmoothlywithDukeoneselfnegotiation, onoutwardlyVieroDukeis the Count of Radnormortal enemy, two people, hitevery large or smalldid not knowmanytimes, at presenthas the opportunityto wipe out the one's ownfoe. Naturallycannoteasilylet upthisopportunity.
那场爆炸之后不多不少已经五周。艾柯、尤拉、马卡罗还有欧汀伯爵都看得出来公主殿下虽然面上还安然若素,但暗地里已日复一日变得焦虑起来。好在与公爵本人的交涉还算得上顺畅,明面上维埃罗公爵本来就是让德内尔伯爵死敌,两人台上台下,大大小小也打了不知道多少次,眼下有机会一举消灭自己的仇敌。自然不会轻易放过这个机会。ButactuallyIkesuchyoung fellowlooked, Archduke of Vierowasreadsilluminates the first kingformer friendship. The daughter of thisSirDukeunexpectedlyis the Her Highness the Princessmother, whensaw when Princess GryphinemanagesSirDukecalled the grandfather, at that timepresentedthesequalificationsoldestroyalistsuch asMakarovandOberbeckto look at dumblyon the scene, almostnot as everyone expected, asked the personto thinkprobably,thisSirDukeyoung was also looseclean. Marriedelfto be the wife, buthas seen the appearance of thatMadameDukefromno one, did not knowin the Aouinekingdomonceto have a Silver ElfMadameDukeunexpectedly.
但其实就连艾柯这样的毛头小子都看出来了,维埃罗大公是念照先王的旧情。这位公爵大人的女儿竟然是公主殿下的母亲,当看到格里菲因公主管公爵大人叫外公时,当时在场就连那些资历最老的王党诸如马卡罗、欧弗韦尔都呆立在场,几乎出乎所有人预料,就好像才叫人想起来,这位公爵大人年轻也是风流倜傥。娶了一位精灵作妻子,只是从没有人见过那位公爵夫人的样子,也不知道埃鲁因王国内竟曾有一位银精灵公爵夫人。However when Makarovand the othersheartstartled, realizedslowly that onceto the little girl who theyalways followed, as ifdid not imagineis so clever, in factfrom the beginning, thatHer Highness the Princessleft leewaysuchsubsequent hand.
不过马卡罗等人心惊之余,也慢慢意识到,那个曾经对他们言听计从的小女孩,似乎也并不是想象中那么乖巧,事实上从一开始,那位公主殿下就留有这样的后手。
The Oberg VIIweddingis the royal familyhandlesto facilitatesingle-handedly. Although the kingmarried a Half-Elfsuchmatterto bring in the baseless rumorunavoidably, butthatseniorkingatthismatterdemonstratedas alwaysone's ownwas tenacious. Let alone the empressesinkingdomat leastis a human, royalistdoes not wantinthisminor matterto touch the mildewhead of Oberg VII.奥伯古七世的婚事是王室一手操办促成。虽然国王娶了一位半精灵这样的事情难免会引来风言风语,但在这件事上那位老国王一如既往地展示了自己的固执。何况在王国的皇后至少还是一个人类,王党们也不愿意这件小事上触奥伯古七世的霉头。Butnever expected thattodaylooks like, Makarovand the othersunderstands,initiallythattenaciousseniorkingpursued, originallyis not the illusorylove.
但没想到今天看来,马卡罗等人才明白过来,当初那位固执的老国王追求的,原来并不是什么虚无缥缈的爱情。Butthat sideHighland Knightdoes not know that is havingwhatidea, lovessimplymakesone unable to understand. Originallymustsay that thenthiswarhas no relationswiththemfrom the start, butnot onlysent outofficial the diplomatic envoyincludingBlack Tower Wizard, but alsovows solemnlyto guarantee, so long asHer Highness the Princessmakes wartoRadnor. Thentheywill joinPrincess' side. Thisstance, has not seemed like the alliance, isseems like submitting tosimplygives loyalty to be the same.
而高地骑士那边也不知道打着什么主意,热心得简直叫人看不懂。本来要说接下来这场战争压根就与他们没什么关系,但非但派出了包括黑塔巫师在内的正式的使节团,还信誓旦旦地保证,只要公主殿下向让德内尔开战。那么他们就会加入公主一方。这种姿态,已经不像是联盟了,简直是像是在臣服效忠一样。As the matter stands, royalistsomewhatcould not understand. Mustknow that Highland KnightinAouine'spolitical ecology, is always aloof outside, evenin the royal powermost powerfultime, theseKnightandwizardis still maintainingmutualrespectablerelationswith the royal familymerely. Whenshowed the stance of like thisbeing one step below others?
这样一来,王党也有些看不懂了。要知道高地骑士在埃鲁因的政治生态中,从来都是超然于外,即使在王权最为强盛的时代,这些骑士与巫师也仅仅是与王室保持着一种互相尊敬的关系而已。什么时候表现出这样低人一头的姿态了?Mustknowthis time, theoreticallytheyare the domineeringside, after Her Highness the Princessstilled the Ampere Searlsituation, butis depending uponassisting of a smallterritoryas well asthat not justifiableCount of Tonigel, arrives atthisreluctantly. In factVieroDukeis willingto side withthey, from the situationlooked that northernthatYour HighnessEldest Princeas ifalsohas the opportunity.
要知道这个时候,理论上来说他们才是强势一方,公主殿下平定了安培瑟尔的事态之后,不过依靠着自己一块小小的领地以及那个名不正言不顺的托尼格尔伯爵的帮扶,勉勉强强走到这一步而已。事实上要不是维埃罗公爵愿意倒向他们一方,从局势上看北方那位王长子殿下似乎还更有机会呢。But the situationis makingone unable to feelin the development of mindto advancelike thissilently, becausethere is a Highland Knightprecedent, even the Archduke of Golan-Elsenenvoycomes the tableto makepeoplenot feel that loyallywas so accidental, becauseeveryoneunderstands that Archdukehad no ambition, isnoble, ratheris a recluse, did not careregardingoutsidematter. In factbefore the Archduke of Golan-Elsenenvoyarrives, but alsosomepeopleguessthatArchdukenews is not impossible is so quickmaliciously, theseenvoysarehisAdviserandretainerarrangemostly.
但事态就在这样令人摸不着头脑的发展中默默地推进着,因为有了高地骑士的先例,甚至连戈兰—埃尔森大公的使节前来表忠都让人不感到那么意外了,因为所有人都明白,那位大公本来就没什么野心,与其说是贵族,倒不如说是个隐士,对于外面的事情根本就不关心。事实上在戈兰—埃尔森大公的使节到来之前,还有人恶意揣测那位大公的消息根本不可能这么灵通,这些使节多半是他的幕僚、家臣安排的。Afterwardshowedthisguessreallyright, naturally, regardingthesedetails, everyonehad a tacit understanding, maintainedtacitis OKmutually.
后来证明这个猜测果然没错,当然,对于这些细节,大家都是心照不宣,互相保持默契就可以了。Butall sorts ofdetails, at leastmadepeopleunderstand a point.
但种种细节,至少让人们明白了一点。
The Aouineroyal powerwill be popular——埃鲁因王权将兴——Smooth of diplomacycannotconcealPrincess Gryphineoneday more than a day of anxiety.
外交的顺利并不能掩饰格里菲因公主一天甚于一天的不安。Buga, Oberbeckhad returned toLantolianfrom the old route, after allexplodes happened inRaanto the intersection point and Vieroarea, everyone wantsto make clear for a month ago actuallyinthatlarge explosionto haveanything. Butpasses on the news that mostly is also discomfortingfrom the front, in the report of scout, as ifentiredeadfrostforestvanishedthoroughly, east ofmountain range, south of the purpleRolandfortregion, presented a piececompletely newdeathmagicregion. SurvivingEnergyprovedtherepreviouslyhad a startleddayto explode.布加,欧弗韦尔已经从原路返回了兰托尼兰,毕竟爆炸是发生在兰托你兰与维埃罗地区的交界处,每个人都想要搞清楚一个月之前那场大爆炸中究竟发生了什么。而从前方传回来的消息也大多令人不安,在斥候的报告中,似乎整个死霜森林都彻底消失了,在贡恩山脉以东,紫罗兰堡以南的区域,出现了一个片全新的死魔法区域。残存的能量证明了那儿先前发生过一场惊天爆炸。But many evidenceaim atthisexplosion the centerto have a giantincomparablegulf, butuntil now, had not discovered that in the explosionhasanysurvivorto exist.
而有许多证据指向这场爆炸的中心有一个巨大无比的深坑,但迄今为止,还没有发现爆炸中有任何生还者存在。Insomehigh-levelcircles, particularlyPrincessas well asherpersonare clearer, thison behalf ofanything.
在更高层一些的圈子中,尤其是公主以及她身边的人更明白,这代表着什么。Little Princehas not come back.小王子还没回来。Count of Tonigelalsodisappearsuntil now.托尼格尔伯爵也是至今不见踪影。ButwhatmadeMakarovandCount Oerdinganxiouswas, theyknow that the Kirrlutzianfirstpositionsuccessorwas also missingduringthatexplosion, their hugenobleobservation mission. AndtheirAzure Sky LegionArmy Commander. In factMakarovandCount Oerdingobtain the news——Kirrlutziandiplomatic envoyfrom the respectivechannelalreadyearlier, left the empire, is going to the way ofAouine.
但更令马卡罗与欧汀伯爵不安的是,他们知道克鲁兹人的第一顺位继承人也在那场爆炸之中失踪了,还有他们的一个庞大的贵族观察团。以及他们苍穹之青军团的军团长。事实上马卡罗和欧汀伯爵已经从各自的渠道得到消息——克鲁兹人的使节团已经在早些时候出发,离开了帝国,正在前往埃鲁因途中。Thisabsolutelyis not a goodsign.
这绝对不是一个好兆头。Butuntilthis dayearlier.
但直到这一天早些时候。
An unexpectedguestvisitedWahlendenberg.
一位意想不到的客人到访了瓦伦登堡。Without a doubt, when thisis a Your HighnessPrincess Gryphinealreadywaits for a long timeto be many guest.
毫无疑问,这是一位格里菲因公主殿下已经久等多时的客人。Outside the window, the wisteriashadeshade that danglesfrom the city wallis rocking, distant place. The still windforestandmountain rangeimmersesunder the background of deep blue. In the afternoon the genialsunlightclimbed up the window latticeslowly, by the vein of leaf blade, sprinklesin the room, a school of goldenwarmsplendor. In the room, behind the preciousblackwooddesk, Princess Gryphineis sittingon the redwaste pad of longbackchairpeacefully.
窗台外,从城墙上垂下的藤萝绿荫荫地晃动着,远处。静风森林与贡恩山脉沉浸在瓦蓝的背景之下。午后和煦的阳光慢慢爬上了窗格,透过叶片的脉络,洒进房间之中,一派金色的暖辉。屋内,名贵的黑木书桌后面,格里菲因公主正安静地坐在长背椅的红色绒垫上。Shedeliberatelymakes herselfcalm down, butseveraltimesiscould not bear the query time. „Drew near, shehas crossed the corridor, Her Highness the Princess.” The maidservantsare somewhat smilingawkwardlyreplying.
她刻意使自己冷静下来,但还是好几次忍不住去询问时间。“快到了,她已经过了长廊了,公主殿下。”使女有些为难地微笑着答道。Princess Gryphinenods, took a light breath. At this timeouttransmittedduoduoduofinally the knock, as ifentireroomstaticmoment, sherepliedgently: „Pleasecome.”格里菲因公主点点头,轻轻吸了一口气。这个时候门外终于传来哚哚哚的敲门声,仿佛整间屋子静了片刻,她才轻轻答道:“请进来。”
The gateshoved open, after the gate, Freya, was still a Aouine'smilitary uniform. Butcalmauraformerly, somewhatwas by far ruddybesides the face, almostjust like anotherNemesis. SheseesPrincess Gryphine, was startledbeing startled, originallythinks that receivesone's own to beMakarovorCount Oerding, butimmediatelygood a Knightritual.
门推开了,门后正是芙蕾雅,仍旧是一身埃鲁因的军服。只不过身上的沉稳气息远胜从前,除了脸还有些红扑扑的,几乎活脱脱就是另外一个尼玫西丝。她看到格里菲因公主,怔了怔,本来以为接见自己的会是马卡罗或者欧汀伯爵,但马上还是行了一个骑士礼。„Her Highness the Princess.”
“公主殿下。”„Does not needto be overly courteous,”in the half-elven girlsurfaceseemstranquil. Butactuallyattractedseveraltonesto open the mouthto sayreluctantlyquietly: „Count...... Count is hegood?”
“不必多礼,”半精灵少女表面上显得平静。但却吸了好几口气才勉强沉静地开口道:“伯爵……伯爵他还好吗?”„Your highness, Brandohe...... hehas nobigobstructing.”Freyasomewhatrepliedanxiouslylow voice.
“殿下,布兰多他……他没什么大碍。”芙蕾雅有些不安地小声答道。HoweverPrincess Gryphinedoes not seemto noticethis point, shemovesanxiously, although the slightlookalmostslightlycannotcheck. Butsomewhaturgentlyasked: „Thatandthatmyyounger brother?”
不过格里菲因公主好像并未注意到这一点,她不安地动了动,虽然细微的神色几乎微不可查。但还是有些急切地问道:“那、那我弟弟呢?”„His Highness Halutzis not affected much, heandLord Count are very good.”
“哈鲁泽殿下也无大碍,他和伯爵大人都很好。”half-elven girlthenbreathed out, althoughsherestrains herselfto show the weaklookvigorously, pulling a long face, but the brainsomewhatis chaotic. Shesat there some little time, not onlyhappy, andsomewhatloses, particularlyregardingthatCount of Tonigelsense, passed the moment, sherestoreddesolately: „Countwhy don't come tohere?”半精灵少女这才浅浅出了一口气,虽然她极力克制住自己露出软弱的神色来,绷着脸,但脑子却有些乱。她在那儿坐了好一会儿,既高兴,又有些失落,尤其是对于那位托尼格尔伯爵的感官而言,过了片刻,她才又恢复了冷淡:“伯爵为什么不自己来这里?”„MissNemesisandeveryoneis injured, Lord Thanewantsfirstto return toVladathemorisFir Tree Shire.”
“尼玫西丝小姐和大家都受了伤,领主大人想先将他们送回弗拉达或者是冷杉领。”
The Gryphinedanglingeyelid, was ponderingprobably, a moment later, shelookstoFreya, in the silverpupilis a pure brightness: „Freya, thisis a excuse, right?”格里菲因垂下眼睑,像是在思考,片刻之后,她才又看向芙蕾雅,银色的眸子里已经是一片清明:“芙蕾雅,这是一个借口,对吗?”
The Freyafacewas red, thisindeedis a excuse, the realreasonwasScarlettwas missing, Brandois doing everything possibleto find the clueaboutthatmountain peopleyoung girl. Howeveralsonot onlyso, somedeeperreason, butherehas the bystander, sherecallsBrandoto tell the one's ownwords, looked atHer Highness the Princessnearbymaidservantoneeyes, nodded.芙蕾雅脸都红了,这的确是一个借口,真正的原因是茜失踪了,布兰多正在想尽办法找到关于那个山民少女的线索。不过也不仅仅如此,还有一些更深沉的原因,但这里有外人,她记起布兰多告诉自己的话,看了公主殿下旁边的使女一眼,点了点头。Gryphineleansslightlyexcessively, saidto the one's ownmaidservant: „Youtold the Highland Knightgentlemen, Lord Countcannot come, butheis also living, asks that theyhadwhatidea.”格里菲因微微侧过头,对自己的使女说道:“你去告诉高地骑士的先生们,伯爵大人来不了了,但他还活着,问问他们有什么想法。”
A maidservantnod, leavesgentlyimmediately.
使女轻轻一点头,立刻离开了。ThenHer Highness the Princesshas turned head, opens the mouth saying: „Actuallyishow a matter, thatexplosion, Iwantto know that whathad?”
然后公主殿下才回过头,开口道:“究竟是怎么一回事,还有那场爆炸,我想知道发生了什么?”Freyabreathed in.芙蕾雅吸了一口气。„Isthis, Her Highness the Princess......”
“是这样的,公主殿下……”

这个时候,车篷内传来一个声音:“怎么了,伯伊默?”那个声音有些干巴巴的,听起来沙哑得像是老人。„Is the goodnews, Babarne, wewere saved.” A formerfacehappy expression, arrives at the vehicle covering, saidin a low voice: „Isourdiplomatic envoys, theyjustapproached shore.”
