„Kirrlutzian envoy?” “克鲁兹人的使节？” „A person named Donners Bernie, the status is Viscount.” “一个叫做唐纳斯.伯尼的人,身份是子爵。” „Wait, I knew that this person,” Brando interrupts the Ciel's words, recalled Veronica to say with him this name, this person was the The Silver Queen secret envoy, exploded later empire to send a diplomatic envoy to investigate the sovereign eldest son's whereabout in the dead frost forest greatly, this person was the key personnel in charge of diplomatic envoy, Veronica also tells him, perhaps this person of real goal was to confirm the sovereign eldest son's death news. „I also know that this diplomatic envoy,” he remembers this matter to come finally, since near section date and time one after another business —— mainly has been the autumn evening war and Her Highness the Princess sudden letter —— makes him almost forget also to have such matter: „These Kirrlutzian have prepared to return to the empire, why Delfhyr will she tell us suddenly this?” “等等,我认识这个人,”布兰多打断夏尔的话,记起维罗妮卡曾经和他说过这个名字,这个人是白银女王的密使,在死霜森林大爆之后帝国方面派遣了一个使节团来调查皇长子的下落,这个人就是使节团的主要负责人,维罗妮卡还告诉他,这人的真实的目的恐怕是来确认皇长子的死讯。“我也知道这个使节团,”他终于想起这回事来,近段时日以来接二连三的事务——主要是秋暮战争与公主殿下突如其来的来信——让他差点忘了还有这么回事:“这些克鲁兹人已经准备返回帝国了么,为什么迪尔菲瑞她会突然告诉我们这个？” „No, Lord Thane, the Kirrlutzian diplomatic envoy also stays in Lantolian in fact, now their head has someone else, according to our understanding, this Mr. Donners Bernie has not appeared from beginning to end.” Ciel replied. “不,领主大人,事实上克鲁兹人的使节团还停留在兰托尼兰,现在他们的负责人另有其人,根据我们的了解,这位唐纳斯.伯尼先生自始至终都没有出现过。”夏尔答道。 „This outcome what's the matter?” Brando frowns. “这究竟是怎么回事？”布兰多皱起眉头。 „It is said is because this Lord Viscount arises suddenly to be ill, returned along with the fleet in Deldetar, he has not come ashore in Anlieke from the start.” “据说是因为这位子爵大人突发身体不适,在德尔德塔尔就随船队返回了,他压根没有在安列克上岸。” Brando thought that this obviously is a excuse, since this person is the secret envoy of queen, how also to fly back without any results because of health conditions. His immediately thinks that was Kirrlutzian detected anything, but realized how suddenly Delfhyr knows this matter, in the territory knows that the Swordbreaker Knight group and Imperial Prince Lenarret had his side few several people, he depressed in the heart to have doubts, asks: „This is the Kirrlutzian internal affairs, why will Miss Delfhyr pass on to our?” 布兰多心想这明显是个借口,此人既然是女王的密使,又岂会因为身体不适而无功而返。他第一时间想到是不是克鲁兹人察觉了什么,但忽而又意识到迪尔菲瑞怎么会知道这件事,领地内知道折剑骑士团与莱纳瑞特皇子存在不过他身边寥寥数人而已,他压下心中疑惑,问道:“这不过是克鲁兹人的内部事务,迪尔菲瑞小姐为什么会转告我们这个？” Ciel naturally understood what is heard Brando's subtext, he replied: „Lord Thane, this matter is actually this. The fleet that it is said Kirrlutzian returns hunts a Jane|treasure beast on Flash Sea, wants to give to Her Majesty the Queen, to prevent the attack of Holy Cathedral of Earth, therefore they choose more reliable land path. The fleet lands in Grey Wind Port, retinue and assistant who Mr. Donners Bernie and he accompanies after Greymountshire, through passing through Swallowburg, the Swallowburg present situation Sir you are know that the Count of Swallowburg situation is unknown, some people said that he had the serious illness, some people said that he has died. In brief starting from four May/five months he had not appeared in the face of the public,...... this...... Miss Delfhyr...... is coughing in Trentheim as for Miss Delfhyr now...... is a guest,” he speaking of being a guest of two word-time. Somewhat is unavoidably awkward, actually everyone knows in the Young Countess heart to be worried own father's condition, looks forward to grow the wing to fly back to the Swallowburg territory immediately, but was put under house arrest by Brando in Fir Tree Shire —— is natural, this also under inciting of Her Highness the Princess. The goal is to assure Young Countess own security, so as to avoid asked her to like a moth to the flame. He stopped , to continue saying: „In brief, now Swallowburg is a group of people without a leader, that fellows headed by Baron Dahl circulates all kinds of rumors all day long, wants to find an excuse captures the Lord Count power. However Swallowburg Family reputation. They are also hard to go well for a short time, but Kirrlutz Empire also has the considerable influence in Swallowburg since long, therefore these people will certainly not let off flatter the opportunity of this Sir Viscount Donners Bernie.” 夏尔自然听明白了布兰多的潜台词,他答道:“领主大人,这件事其实是这样的。据说克鲁兹人返航的船队在闪光之海上猎捕到一头珍兽,想要献给女王陛下,为了防范大地圣殿的袭击,所以他们选择更为可靠的陆上道路。船队在灰风港登陆,唐纳斯.伯尼先生和他随行的仆从、助手穿过灰山领之后,又借道经过燕堡,燕堡现在的情况大人你是知道的,燕堡伯爵情况不明,有人说他得了重病,有人说他已经死了。总之从四五月开始他就一直没在公众面前出现在过,至于迪尔菲瑞小姐……这个嘛……迪尔菲瑞小姐现在正在托尼格尔……咳……作客,”他说到作客两个字时。免不了有些尴尬,其实大家都知道伯爵小姐心中担心自己父亲的状况,巴不得马上插上翅膀飞回燕堡领地,只不过被布兰多软禁在冷杉领而已——当然,这也是在公主殿下的授意之下的。目的是为了保证伯爵小姐自身的安全,免得叫她飞蛾扑火。他停了一下,继续说道:“总而言之,现在燕堡就是群龙无首,以达勒男爵为首的那帮家伙终日散布各种各样的谣言,想要借故夺取伯爵大人的权力。不过燕堡家族的名声尚在。他们一时半会儿也难以得手,而克鲁兹帝国在燕堡长期以来也具有相当的影响力,所以这些人当然不会放过巴结这位唐纳斯.伯尼子爵大人的机会。” „Does not know that Sir you whether still remembers. You and Her Highness the Princess once told that Count of Yanilas investigates the Swallowburg matter, this Lord Count sent a group of people to enter Swallowburg shortly after that this group of people handled matters are also considered as the strength, they had the contact with the Delfhyr former subordinates under quickly, set up a secret relationship network.” Brando knows that this matter actually obviously is the Her Highness the Princess instruction. Oneself have not inserted least bit from the start, but to Ciel this fellow mouth. His Lord Thane divided half merit —— he naturally to hear this thinking highly for no reason, but also saw through an affair rarely, or has rather had long been used to —— to hear at this moment, he listened to a clue finally. “不知道大人你是否还记得。你和公主殿下曾经吩咐雅尼拉苏伯爵去调查燕堡的事情,这位伯爵大人在那之后不久就派遣了一批人进入燕堡,这批人办事还算得力,他们很快就和迪尔菲瑞的旧部下取得了联系,建立起一个秘密的关系网。”布兰多知道这件事其实明明是公主殿下吩咐的。自己压根没插半点手,不过到了夏尔这家伙嘴巴里面。他这个领主大人就平白无故分去了一半功劳——他当然听得出这种恭维,不过也难得拆穿,或者不如说早已习惯——而听到此刻,他才终于听出点端倪。 Ciel continues saying: „Therefore these people this matter reported as usual gave Count of Yanilas, but also supplemented this caravan and Mr. Donners Bernie with Recording Crystal, and image of other accompanying retinue and assistant, Count of Yanilas will also report and crystal mails to Miss Delfhyr in constantly the hand. This matter is not extremely important, but Miss Delfhyr more or less heard you and Lady Veronica, Imperial Prince Lenarret enters the dead frost forest together the matter, she after knowing the goal of this diplomatic envoy, was worried that Kirrlutzian you are disadvantageous to the Sir, therefore transmits these things to Medissa, has not thought that also really our small Her Highness the Princess discovered fishy ——” 夏尔继续说道:“所以这些人照例将这件事报告给了雅尼拉苏伯爵,还用记录水晶附带了这支车队与唐纳斯.伯尼先生、及其他随行仆从与助手的影像,雅尼拉苏伯爵又将报告与水晶原封不动地寄到迪尔菲瑞小姐手上。这件事本身不是太过重要,但迪尔菲瑞小姐或多或少听闻了你和维罗妮卡女士、莱纳瑞特皇子一起进入死霜森林的事情,她在得知了这支使节团的目的之后,担心克鲁兹人对大人您不利,所以又将这些东西转交给梅蒂莎,没想到还真叫我们的小公主殿下发现了蹊跷——” „What fishy?” Brando heard this time, has frowned slightly. “什么蹊跷？”布兰多听到这个时候,已经微微皱起了眉头。 „This Viscount Donners Bernie, he has no issue, but Medissa Princess in accompanying and assistant of caravan, recognized a person to come probably.” “这位唐纳斯.伯尼子爵,他本身倒没什么问题,但是梅蒂莎公主在车队的随从与助手之中,好像认出了一个人来。” „Recognized a person?” In the Brando heart moves: „Who?” “认出了一个人？”布兰多心中一动:“谁？” „This person must be Kirrlutzian and Veronica accompanying in military officer group, I to some of his also impressions, but the impression does not have Medissa she is so profound.” “这个人应当是克鲁兹人与维罗妮卡随行的军官团中的一个,我对他也有些印象,但印象没梅蒂莎她那么深刻。” „Lord Thane,” this time Medissa sound made a sound finally, as always gentle, but is systematic: Words that „I have not remembered incorrectly, that person must is called Baumer, I once listened to others to call him. He had entered under the glacier with us at that time, is in Officer noble of Kirrlutzian accompanying member, the person is somewhat young, but 20 -year-old appearances.” “领主大人,”这个时候梅蒂莎的声音终于响了起来,一如既往地轻柔、但有条有理:“我没记错的话,那个人应当是叫做伯伊默,我曾听别人这么叫过他。他当时和我们一起进入过冰川下面,是克鲁兹人随行的贵族军官中的一员,人有些年轻,不过二十来岁的样子。” Brando felt like on the back to have electric current together to wind through, making his fine body hair set upright, his took a light breath, although has not opened the mouth, but the look on face is dignified calls nearby Amandina and Freya sees the clue, two young girls regarded one mutually, somewhat worried that visits him. Brando both hands on the desk, in the brain as if flashes through the innumerable prospects, he fermented the moment carefully, suddenly asked: „When the Kirrlutzian diplomatic envoy arrives in Deldetar.” 布兰多感觉好像背脊上有一道电流流过,让他寒毛都竖了起来,他轻轻吸了一口气,虽然还没有开口,但脸上的神色已经凝重得叫一旁的安蒂缇娜与芙蕾雅都看出端倪,两位少女互视了一眼,都有些担忧地看着他。布兰多将双手支在书桌上,脑子里仿佛闪过无数图景,他细细地酝酿了片刻,忽然问道:“克鲁兹人的使节团是什么时候抵达德尔德塔尔的。” „On August 19, that day was the mountain people lighting a fire festival.” Amandina wants not to think, opens directly replies. “八月19日,那天是山民的举火节。”安蒂缇娜想也不想,直接开答道。 „On August 19.” Brando muttered repeated: „We leave the dead frost forest's fourth week, just right one month.” “八月19日。”布兰多喃喃自语地重复了一遍:“我们离开死霜森林第四周,正好一个月。” „Ciel, how long that did Viscount Donners Bernie arrive in Swallowburg?” He also asked. “夏尔,那个唐纳斯.伯尼子爵抵达燕堡多久了？”他又问道。 Ciel calculated: „Miss Delfhyr attained the letter/believes is last week, but this letter/believes arrived in Trentheim after repeated setbacks, before the time, only will be at least much in a month. Will not be less.” 夏尔计算了一下:“迪尔菲瑞小姐拿到信是上周,不过这封信几经周折抵达托尼格尔,之前起码过了一个月时间,只会更多。不会更少。” A month, in Brando heart one cold, this time enough Kirrlutzian turned back Lucita. Freya looks at his complexion in the one side after the transformation, this cannot bear open the mouth to ask finally: „Did Brando, actually have an accident?” 一个月,布兰多心中一冷,这个时间都足够克鲁兹人走回鲁施塔了。芙蕾雅在一旁看他脸色几经变换,这才终于忍不住开口问道:“布兰多,究竟出什么事了？” „I think that we neglected, Freya.” Brando replied one word at a time. “我想我们疏忽了,芙蕾雅。”布兰多一字一顿地答道。 „Negligence?” “疏忽了？” „This blames me, has not thought completely this direction,” he could not bear pat the forehead annoyingly, then the sinking sound said: „Ciel, making the scout who we send ask. Let them search the dead frost forest neighboring region again, spreads the image of that fellow, confirmed that the person has seen his —— not. I want definitely some people to see him. Where the key is , I must the quickest speed make clear this issue. Moreover, finding the way to dispatch a group of people toward Kirrlutz Empire faction, if incorrect words. Makes Count of Yanilas help —— he not to reject.” “这都怪我,完全没想到这个方向,”他忍不住懊恼地拍了拍额头,然后沉声说道:“夏尔,让我们派出去的探子去问。让他们重新将死霜森林周边地区搜索一遍,把那家伙的影像散布出去,去确认有没有人见过他——不。我想肯定有人见过他。关键是在什么地方,什么时间,我要最快速度搞清楚这个问题。另外,想办法往克鲁兹帝国派遣一批人,如果不行的话。就让雅尼拉苏伯爵帮我们一个忙——他不会拒绝的。” „Lord Thane, in I passed on to this news before you, Miss Romaine has sent out the manpower, now the territory used has gotten up completely,” Ciel replies „„ following some mercenary commander now not to make clear the situation, wants to ask that your made a fuss over a trifling matter. I and Medissa are also therefore comes to ask for instructions to you.” “领主大人,在我向你转告这个消息之前,罗曼小姐就已经派出人手了,现在领地已经完全启动了起来,”夏尔答道““不过下面有些佣兵团长现在还搞不清楚情况,想问您这是不是太小题大做了。我和梅蒂莎也是因此来向您请示的。” „She does right,” Brando hears this news, long exhaled. Then calmly replied: „And other news, hope that Kirrlutzian will not regret ——” “她做得对,”布兰多听到这个消息,长吐了一口气。然后才静静地答道:“等消息吧,希望克鲁兹人不会后悔——” Brando felt that some people hold down the one's own arm, he has turned head, saw that Amandina somewhat worried looks at itself. 布兰多感到有人按住自己的手臂,他回过头,看到安蒂缇娜有些担忧地看着自己。 „Was Scarlett has the news?” Miss Adviser asked keenly. “是不是茜有消息了？”幕僚小姐敏锐地问道。 His slowly nodded. 他缓缓点了点头。 The victory that the autumn evening fights has not spread over Southern Territory, but all kinds of rumors have been receiving the area and peripheral region that the war affects widely spread. Radnor person in two weeks of start terrified, but also is faint some anticipations. They anxiously are the worry are naturally criticized, the psychology of but anticipating came from in that legend young and promising Lord Count, likely must become their new rulers in the future. But compared with other Southern Territory areas that all kinds of rumor everywhere dance in the air, Viero and Trentheim instead depart from the norm are more peaceful lunar new year's day much —— in Viero, Wahlendenberg duplicate/restores one day send out lots of messengers, they carry north and south this private letter to move back and forth, daily unceasingly. 秋暮一战的胜利还未传遍南境,但各式各样的流言已经在受战争波及的地区以及周边地带广泛地流传开来。让德内尔人在开始的两周内惶惶不安,但又隐隐有些期待。他们不安自然是担心遭到清算,但期待的心理则来自于那位传说中年轻有为的伯爵大人,很可能未来就要成为他们新的统治者。但与各式各样的谣言漫天飞舞的南境其他地区相比,维埃罗与托尼格尔反而一反常态地安静得可怕——在维埃罗,瓦伦登堡正日复一日地派出大量的信使,他们携带这私密的信笺南北往复,日日不绝。 But in Trentheim, only then a small number of keen people can feel, under the tranquil surface is breeding storm. The merchant in Port Griess gradually starts to feel that City Guards patrol becomes frequent, questioning also started strict of day duplicate/restores one day, the cargo that in the territory exported after is also happening to change quietly Magic Crystal in —— Black Forest continually reduced in continuously several months, probably finally exhausted, fur arrange/cloth Ge and ore mineral also by other commodity substitutions, but imported the cargo the sailing ship actually to increase suddenly. 而在托尼格尔,只有少数敏锐的人能感到,平静的表面下正孕育着一场风暴。格里斯港口内的商人逐渐开始感到治安骑兵巡逻的次数变得频繁起来,盘查也开始日复一日的严格,领地内出口的货物也在悄然发生改变——黑森林内的魔法水晶在连续几个月内持续减少之后,好像终于耗尽了,毛皮布革和金属矿石也被其他商品替代,而运入货物的帆船却骤然增多了。 The people with high aspirations are guessing in secret, the Trentheim person is preparing a new war. 有心人都在私下里揣测,托尼格尔人正在准备一场新的战争了。 Weather one day becomes compared with one day colder, the black pine in forest as if even more was tall and straight under the cold weather, or was the fallen leaf of Wither serves as contrast these all year long the ever green Aouine's symbol, although regional river surfaces have not started to ice up, but mostly is a scene of Bailu cold frost. The beginning of November, sees Knight to drop from the clouds in some Minteye people it is said that goes out from the flame, these as if deity is born general Knight to patrol for a week in the sky later, vanishes does not see. Declaration that testimony this person vows solemnly with own eyes, when the maidservant who this is the war, the legend they appear, often means chaos caused by war oncoming of age. 天气一日比一日变得更冷,森林内的黑松却仿佛在寒冷的天候下愈发地挺拔了,也或者是凋零的落叶衬托出了这些终年长青的埃鲁因的象征,虽然各地的河面还未开始结冰,但大多都已经是一片白露寒霜的景象。十一月的开端,据说在敏泰一带有人看到骑士从天而降,从火焰之中走出,这些仿佛天神降世一般的骑士在天空中巡行一周之后,又消失不见。亲眼见证这一幕的人信誓旦旦的宣称,这是战争的侍女,传说她们出现时,往往意味着战乱的年代的来临。 These illusory legends spreads while each region, a news bundles on the carrier pigeon leg, fell in the Ciel hand. 这些虚无缥缈的传说在各地流传的同时,一条讯息捆在信鸽腿上,落到了夏尔手中。 „Had the news, Lord Thane.” When Ciel makes noise from mind connection, Brando since with his mother is still telling these days the story, this season the fireplace has lived to get angry, the charcoal burns in the iron fence flip-flop makes noise, his experiences repeatedly had said ten several, but Ms. Wensha is a wee bit also listens is not sick of —— when particularly she knows that the one's own son ‚heart will be very good and manage a household very much’ —— this because of Trentheim one is Brando's described, he thought the Romaine thoughts are pure, approximately can become a heart very good appraisal, as for being good at managing a household, miss merchant has the pay a small price for big rewards in return skill, must also reluctantly the justifiable —— fiancee time. “有消息了,领主大人。”夏尔从心灵联系之中出声时,布兰多还在和他母亲讲这些日子以来发生的故事,这个季节壁炉已经生上了火,木炭在铁栅栏里面烧得噼啪作响,他那些经历早已反反复复说了十好几遍,可温莎女士就是一丁点也听不厌烦——尤其是当她知道自己的儿子在托尼格尔还有一个‘心地很好、很会持家’——这是布兰多的形容,他心想罗曼心思单纯,大约能当得上一个心地很好的评价,至于善于持家,商人小姐有空手套白狼的本事,应当也勉强说得过去——的未婚妻的时候。 However when he hears Ciel these words, stood from the sofa suddenly. Immediately gestures to one's own mother as well as Amandina and Freya, then one side arrives, asked in a low voice: „What's the matter?” 不过当他听到夏尔这句话时,豁然从沙发上站了起来。马上给自己的老妈以及安蒂缇娜、芙蕾雅打了个手势,然后走到一边,低声问道:“怎么回事？” „Lord Thane you guess right, some indeed people have seen this person near the dead frost forest, that person is a farmer near Bernice, is called Bayard, he has a daughter to be called Qiao Shi, after they once large explosion, rented a carriage to give them to that person of —— that person it is said a sum of money, after that has not appeared again, with has another person who he accompanied. According to that girl described to this person, Medissa thinks that this second person should be noble named Babarne.” “领主大人你猜得没错,的确有人在死霜森林附近见过这个人,那人是伯尼切尔附近的一个农夫,叫做老贝阿德,他有个女儿叫做乔诗,他们曾经大爆炸之后租借了一辆马车给那人——据说那人给了他们一笔钱,此后就再也没有出现过,与他随行的还有另外一个人。根据那个女孩对这个人描述,梅蒂莎认为这第二个人应该是个叫做巴巴恩的贵族。” „They rented a carriage.” Brando thought aloud: „Bernice has the hotel, why they must go to the farmer home to rent the carriage. Horse-drawn vehicle majority of farmer is the boxcar of belt/bring greenhouse, general noble will not ride that type of thing.” “他们租借了一辆马车。”布兰多自言自语道:“伯尼切尔就有旅舍,他们为什么要去农夫家中租借马车。农夫的马车大部分都是带大棚的篷车,一般的贵族可不会乘那种东西。” „They to have thing.” Ciel replied. “他们是为了装东西。”夏尔答道。 „Then,” Brando also asked: „Has no one to see this carriage near Deldetar, no, if I am they. Will be certainly more careful, can they also change the carriage on the way?” “然后呢,”布兰多又问:“有没人在德尔德塔尔附近看到过这辆马车,不,如果我是他们。一定会更加小心谨慎,他们应当在途中还换过马车？” „Lord Thane you guess entire, they have changed a carriage in Aruba and winter flowering fern fort, but we determined after their route, is very easy to ask that these details came —— that carriage of their for the last time use, appears for the last time indeed in Deldetar. Some people around mid August have seen them.” “领主大人你猜得全中,他们在阿鲁彻和冬蔷堡都换过一次马车,不过我们确定了他们的路线之后,就很容易问出这些细节来了——他们最后一次使用的那辆马车,最后一次出现的确是在德尔德塔尔。在八月中旬前后有人看到过他们。” „In mid August.” Brando replied: „Deldetar, Kirrlutzian.” “八月中旬。”布兰多答道:“德尔德塔尔,克鲁兹人。” His deeply breathed in, the fist has gripped giggle the straight sound. Almost squeezes out the final several characters from the gap between teeth: „Mr. Donners Bernie they escort ‚’ perhaps Jane|treasure beast, is also shipped by a carriage?” 他深深地吸了一口气,拳头已经攥得咯咯直响。几乎是从牙缝里挤出最后几个字来:“唐纳斯.伯尼先生他们押运的‘珍兽’,恐怕也是由一辆马车装运的吧？” „Very much so,” Ciel silent some little time, replied: „Lord Thane.” “正是如此,”夏尔沉默了好一会儿,才回答道:“领主大人。” Amandina and Freya sit on the sofa, looks silently the Brando's complexion is almost gloomy to must to drop to launch. 安蒂缇娜和芙蕾雅坐在沙发上,默默地看着布兰多的脸色几乎阴沉得要滴下水来。 ...... …… In the fireplace in study room similarly park Boran flame. Reflected to shine several faces. 书房内的壁炉里同样泊泊燃着火苗。映亮了几张面孔。 „Goes to invite Lord Count, Madame Hill. Troubled you.” “去把伯爵大人请来吧,希尔夫人。麻烦你了。” Princess Gryphine puts down letter in hand, since looking at a Makarov —— this is two weeks the tenth letter/believes that she receives, this letter/believes is sent by crafty fox of this kingdom personally, thus it can be seen royalist also foresaw the delicate change of situation. The empire confers Count is not strange, even can say that is uninterested with Aouine, but this female Count family background, involves in this moment kingdom status same sensitive person —— Gryphine to read this letter/believes, puts down in the heart finally lucky, throws the letter/believes to the desk on gently, somewhat exhausted said to the one's own maidservant. The women of high station push the door, she could not bear then looks at outside an eye piece to become the withered and yellow leaf blade day after day, slightly sighed. 格里菲因公主放下手中的信笺,看了马卡罗一眼——这是两周以来她收到的第十封信,这封信由这头王国的狡狐亲自送来,由此可见王党也预见到了其中局势的微妙变化。帝国册封一位伯爵并不奇怪,甚至可以说与埃鲁因毫无关系,但偏偏这位女伯爵的出身,牵扯着此刻王国内一位身份同样的敏感的人——格里菲因看完这封信,也放下心中最后一点侥幸,轻轻将信丢到书桌上,有些精疲力竭对自己的使女说道。贵妇人推门而出,她忍不住回头看了一眼窗外日渐变得枯黄的叶片,微微叹了一口气。 „Her Highness the Princess.” The Makarov low voice reminder said. “公主殿下。”马卡罗小声提醒道。 „You do not need to open the mouth, Minister Makarov, I see.” Gryphine looked at his one eyes, replied. “你不必开口,马卡罗卿,我已明白。”格里菲因看了他一眼,如此答道。 Only in a minute, Brando arrives in her study room, his complexion as if also in the news that has not obtained from before transforms, still seemed somewhat stiff. He first to Gryphine good a ritual, raises head, nature saw sat in desk back Her Highness the Princess, with standing in her Makarov. Brando looked at crafty fox of this kingdom, will then look on Princess Gryphine. 只片刻,布兰多就来到她书房中,他脸色仿佛还没从之前得到的消息中转换回来,仍旧显得有些僵硬。他先向格里菲因行了一礼,抬起头,自然一眼就看到了坐在书桌背后的公主殿下,和站在她身边的马卡罗。布兰多看了看这头王国的狡狐,然后又将目光转向格里菲因公主身上。 Two people have not opened the mouth, but as if understood the concern of opposite party. 两人都没有开口,但似乎都明白了对方的心事。 Her Highness the Princess lowers the head, looks at letter on desk, said in a soft voice: „Mr. Brando, this matter I have to tell you ——” 公主殿下低下头,看着书桌上的信笺,轻声说道:“布兰多先生,这件事我不得不告诉你了——” „About Azure Spear, right?” Brando opens the mouth to say. “是关于天青之枪的,对吗？”布兰多开口道。 Princess Gryphine raises head came to see his one eyes, in the pale silver grey pupil full is the complex look, but she talked about —— The Silver Queen to seal her the Scarlett matter finally carefully for empire Count, the news that since two weeks, various aspects have spread confirms unmistakably ; Even including this mountain people young girl family background, as well as she she said after this Count of Tonigel relational ——, asked in a soft voice: „Does the Brando Sir/minister, what to do you plan?” 格里菲因公主抬起头来看了他一眼,淡银灰色的眸子里满是复杂的神色,但她最终还是把茜的事情细细地讲了一遍——白银女王已经封她为帝国伯爵,两周以来,各方面传来的消息都确认无误;甚至包括这位山民少女的出身,以及她与这位托尼格尔伯爵的关系——她说完之后,才轻声问道:“布兰多卿,你打算怎么办？” „Her Highness the Princess, you guess, if these words were asked me by Kirrlutzian, I will what to do,” Brando silent moment? Then the tone somewhat replied coldly. “公主殿下,你猜如果这句话是由克鲁兹人来问我,我会怎么办,”布兰多沉默了片刻？然后口气有些冷地答道。 The hand of Princess Gryphine keep flat on skirt grasped the skirt swayed, she can certainly hear the anger of under the Brando tranquil tone hiding. 格里菲因公主平放在裙子上的手抓紧了裙摆,她当然听得出布兰多平静的口气下潜藏的怒火。 But she looks straight ahead the eyes of opposite party, in the look is glittering carefully the ray of ponder, has not replied. 但她直视着对方的眼睛,眼神中细细地闪烁着思考的光芒,却没有答话。 Is Makarov opens the mouth to say on the contrary: „Lord Count. They are Kirrlutzian.” 反倒是马卡罗开口道:“伯爵大人。他们是克鲁兹人。” „I know.” “我知道。” „Lord Count, Her Highness the Princess told you this matter, stemmed from your respect. But I must ask that your issue, whether you have considered clearly, Trentheim and kingdom, relational —— between Trentheim and empire” “伯爵大人,公主殿下告诉你这件事,是出于对你的尊重。但我必须问你一个问题,你是否有清楚地考虑过,托尼格尔与王国,托尼格尔与帝国之间的关系——” „Therefore?” Brando asked. “所以说呢？”布兰多问道。 „Because of the temporary anger, but puts in the danger the kingdom, Azure Spear is very important to the kingdom, but did not have to be able innocent importantly to bleed the situation of sacrifice for it.” Makarov sighed, persuaded patiently. “不要因为一时的愤怒,而将王国置于危险的境地,天青之枪对于王国来说很重要,但还没有重要到可以为了它而让许多无辜的人流血牺牲的地步。”马卡罗叹了口气,耐心地劝说道。 Brando looks at this person —— this royalist important member. Probably heard a joke, he shakes the head, replies: „Mr. Makarov. You made a mistake a matter. I do not care about what Azure Spear from the start, the the only one mistake that the empire makes today, that should not run counter to a wish of person, takes away from this lands her. Naturally, who you possibly and do not care about this person are. However I must tell you matter ——” 布兰多看着这个人——这个王党的重要成员。好像听到了一个笑话,他摇了摇头,答道:“马卡罗先生。你搞错了一件事。我压根不在意什么天青之枪,帝国今天犯下的唯一一个错误,那就是不该违背一个人的意愿,将她从这片土地上带走。当然了,你可能并不在意这个人是谁。不过我要告诉你一件事情——” His voice is not loud, but actually as if filled invisible Mana, lets in the room a deathly stillness. 他的声音不大,但却仿佛充满了一种无形的魔力,让屋内一片死寂。 Princess Gryphine as well as her Madame Hill, have not seen noble to be able such unscrupulously with the colleague opens the mouth, in Her Highness the Princess eye also slightly flash, but that woman of high station was almost is dumbfounded. 格里菲因公主以及她身边的希尔夫人,从来没见过一个贵族可以这么肆无忌惮地与同僚开口,公主殿下眼中还微微闪光,而那位贵妇人几乎是要目瞪口呆了。 The Makarov complexion is very ugly. He realized suddenly this is the first time that not Brando reproved him. 马卡罗脸色十分难看。他忽然意识到这已经不是布兰多第一次这么训斥他了。 Brando actually and does not care about his idea, but replied in a soft voice: „If the empire people think that compels by the war, nobles of Aouine kingdom will take the entire situation into account, ceases all activities and or flinches immediately. Then I to them, only then a few words —— my —— Brando, Fir City lord, Thane of Trentheim person, Count of kingdom, but also does not have development to tolerate this thieves logic the custom.” 布兰多却并不在意他的想法,而是轻声答道:“如果帝国人认为以战争相逼,埃鲁因王国的贵族们就会顾全大局、偃旗息鼓、或者说立刻退缩。那么我对他们只有一句话——我——布兰多,冷杉城主,托尼格尔人的领主,王国的伯爵,还没有养成纵容这种强盗逻辑的习惯。” He said to Makarov one word at a time: „I pledged. Aouinian will not bleed because of the senseless reason, but the kingdom protects its people. This is this world's most is glorious matter —— Aouine's people today to be able for another Aouinian to bleed, will then have more people to bleed for them tomorrow, Mr. Makarov, this —— is a nationality proud with strength of spirit, if some people think it to be easily bullied, then he is completely mistaken.” 他对马卡罗一字一顿地说道:“我承诺。埃鲁因人不会因为无谓的原因而流血,但王国守护它的子民。这是这个世界上最光辉不过的事情——埃鲁因的子民们今天可以为另一个埃鲁因人而流血,那么明天也会有更多人为他们而流血,马卡罗先生,这——就是一个民族的骄傲与骨气,如果有人认为它软弱可欺,那么他就大错特错。” Brando spoke these words, bowed good to Gryphine a ritual, as if Knight, said goodbye to King one's own before going to battle. 布兰多说完这句话,躬身向格里菲因行了一礼,仿佛骑士,在出征之前向自己的国王告别。 He turns around, opens the door, just before leaving before spoke of: „Her Highness the Princess, I once complied with little girl, I will protect their everyone, I will observe the commitment, no matter the enemy is Kirrlutz —— or Madara, even if and world is the enemy, I also do not renege on a promise.” 他转身,打开门,临走之前说到:“公主殿下,我曾经答应一个小姑娘,我将守护他们每一个人,我将信守承诺,不管敌人是克鲁兹——还是玛达拉,甚至哪怕是与世界为敌,我亦绝不反悔。” „Her Highness the Princess, if this is Kirrlutzian wants, then I will these two characters replied them: War ——” “公主殿下,如果这是克鲁兹人想要的,那么我会这两个字来回答他们:战争——” kā chā, the three people of gate in front in the room closes. 咔嚓一声,门在屋内三人面前关上。 The Makarov complexion is ever changing, he as to say anything, but for a moment does not know how should open the mouth, finally can only sigh reluctantly, asks to be excused to Her Highness the Princess. Two people in tandem leave the study room well long time, Madame Hill as if recovers from the previous shock, she could not bear pat the chest, somewhat said fearful and apprehensive: „Really is absurd, this Lord Count may really be bold, does he and he really dare to make war with Kirrlutzian......?” 马卡罗脸色千变万化,他似乎想说点什么,但一时间又不知道应该怎么开口,最后只能无奈地叹息了一声,也向公主殿下告退。两人一前一后离开书房好半晌,希尔夫人仿佛才从先前的震惊之中回过神来,她忍不住拍了拍胸口,有些心惊胆战地说道:“真是岂有此理,这位伯爵大人可真是胆大包天,他、他真敢和克鲁兹人开战……？” Princess Gryphine turns head, somewhat looks at the one's own maidservant lost. 格里菲因公主回过头来,有些出神地看着自己的使女。 „You know that Madame Hill,” her absentmindedly said: „On the same day my Royal Father's nobles, once faced the similar issue, you know how they did reply my?” “你知道吗,希尔夫人,”她怔怔地说道:“当日我父王的贵族们,也曾经面临同样的问题,你知道他们怎么回答我的吗？” Her sorption air/Qi, in the look as if returned to that night of Ampere Searl disaster after disaster gently. 她轻轻地吸着气,眼神中仿佛回到安培瑟尔风雨交加的那一夜之中。 ...... …… ( PS: Today thinks that behind the recent plot, used a time, is late, to compensate everyone, added to 6000 characters specially.)
