When Finashoves open the gateenters the room, prime minister's daughterDelphineis bending over one's deskwritesanything.法伊娜推开门进入房间时,宰相千金德尔菲恩正在伏案写些什么。
The room in fortis not spacious, probably the silverhoney-comb of hexagon, on a spandrel wallhas a bed of concave, the deskis the metalplatform, sidehas a chair. prime minister's daughter on chairput ononeto pleatcompletely
要塞内的房间并不宽敞,像是个六边形的银色的蜂巢,一侧墙上有一张内凹的床,书桌是个金属的平台,旁边有一张椅子。椅子上的宰相千金穿了一件满是褶子的
The blacklong skirt, the skirtswayeddragson the silverfloor, herphysiqueis beautiful, the waterfallthrows oversprinklesjust like the dalbergia nigra after behindlong hair, is sending out the fatalattractionfrom top to bottom, butis more like a latrodectus hesperus.
黑色的长裙,裙摆拖在银色的地板上,她体态婀娜,瀑布般披洒在身后的长发犹如黑檀,浑身上下散发着致命的吸引力,但更像是一只黑寡妇蜘蛛。Sees the former, she received quill peninsertioninkbottle, raises headasked: „What's wrong?”
看到前者,她收起鹅毛笔插入墨水瓶中,抬起头来问道:“怎么了?”„CoaxedElisto fall asleepwith great difficulty, shewas afraidvery much.”Finacloses the doorgently, at the same timereplied.
“好不容易才哄伊莉丝睡着了,她很害怕。”法伊娜轻轻关上门,一边答道。„Everyone will be afraid, particularlyinpresentsuchcurrent political situation,”Delphinepicks the parchment on table, both handsrub the tubeshape, „, butsheat leasthas a goodelder sister.”
“每个人都会害怕,尤其是在眼下这样的时局,”德尔菲恩将桌上的羊皮纸捡起来,双手搓成筒状,“但她至少有一个好姐姐。”Sheloadsinscroll the mailbox, covers the cover. ThenlookstoFina, high and lowis taking a look atone's ownthisfriend: „Youchanged.”
她将卷轴装入信筒之中,盖上盖子。然后才看向法伊娜,上下打量着自己的这位朋友:“你变了很多。”
The Finalookis tranquil, the bodyonlywore a simplearmedbunchclothes, the goldenlong hairalsotiedbuying offerbehind the head, seeminglyis more likeordinaryFemale Knight, rather thanHottoheiress——was experiencingthat法伊娜神色平静,身上只穿了一身简单的武装束衣,金色的长发也束了起来盘在脑后,看起来更像是个普通的女骑士,而非梅霍托芬的女继承人——在经历了那么
After multi-things, thison the wild and intractableyoung ladyhad once seenthattype of arrogant and willfulauravery muchdifficultlyagain, learningto be matureandtolerant.
多事情之后,这位曾经桀骜不驯的小姐身上已经很难再看到那种骄纵的气息,学会了成熟与宽容。Hears the prime minister's daughterwords, shesmiledreluctantlyunder: „Thanks, Iwas too weakin the past.”
听到宰相千金的话,她只是勉强笑了下:“谢谢,我过去太幼稚了。”Delphineplaceson the mailbox the table, at the same timehintsFinato sit down: „Outsidehow, Ihave writtenthesethings here, heard that the Crystallineoffensiveis very fierce?”德尔菲恩将信筒放在桌上,一面示意法伊娜坐下:“外面如何了,我一直在这儿写这些东西,听说晶簇的攻势很猛烈?”„Situationis very bad, theyare probably inexhaustible, ourmilitaryare beset with problems,”Finanodded: „ Most peoplefavorretreating, but under yourgrandfatherandSirValadid not haveto decide, thesealong withus

一起到这里来的平民,尼德文先生已经决定先疏散他们到洛文溪林一带了。„My fatherheis notdoes the important matterperson, but when the civil administrationofficerhas more than enough to spare,”Delphinehas the somewhatcontemptuoussmileto ridiculeone, thentraded a tone, saidearnestly: „ commonercanevacuate
“我父亲他不是个干大事人的,但当个民政官还是绰绰有余的,”德尔菲恩带着有些轻蔑的微笑奚落一句,然后换了一副口气,认真地说道:“不过平民可以撤离

这样的猜疑由来已久,甚至从圣者之战的时代以来就一直存在着,而今天日布加人对于凡人的不信任,更是加深了矛盾。”
„ It can be said that Buganianhas not trusted the mortaltruly, theywill dress upguardiangeneralcharacter , the chaosborder of surveillanceworld, livesabove the clouds, bykeeping aloof the dispute of stanceinvolvementmundane world
“可以说布加人从来没有真正信任过凡人,他们将自己装扮成监护人一般的角色,监视世界的混沌边境,居住于云端之上,以高高在上的姿态介入世俗世界的纠纷

凡人之上的事实,而在这个时节发生的白山之灾背后布加人的影子,不过是放大了这一不安,将这一切矛盾彻底摆在了台面之上。”„Ifthereforewantsto solvethishard problem, letsSaersandMadarareturns to the conference table, so long aschanges the Buganianattitude, uncovered the disaster of truesecretevil behind-the-scenes manipulatorsnow-capped mountainto be OK——”

要不是她面前坐着的这位乃是素以智慧而闻名的帝国之花,一代名相尼德文的长女,她几乎都要以为自己的朋友已经疯了。Delphinefearless, spoke with confidenceconfidently: „ To people are verydifficult, butyourmystatushasnaturalsuperior—— to change the nobleresolutioninthis moment, actuallyalsoonlyneedsto strive forseveraltrulyto have the weight/quantity德尔菲恩却毫无畏惧,坦然地侃侃而谈:“对于一般人来说是很难,但你我的身份在这一刻有天然的优势——要改变贵族决议,其实也只需要争取几个真正有分量

剩下的人又能决定什么呢?”Finashakes the headagain and again: „Ido not dare saying that fathersheis impossibleto obeyournonsenses.”法伊娜连连摇头:“我可不敢这么说,父亲们他不可能听从我们的胡言乱语的。”„Thatis uncertain,” the Delphinecorners of the mouthriseslightly, shows a faint smilecunningly: „Right, how did Ientrustyourmatterto managebefore?”

湛蓝色的眸子里露出一丝疑惑的神色:“德尔菲恩,你是不是知道些什么,那枚戒指很重要吗,我父亲好像很在意这个问题……”Delphinedoes not have the direct reaction, butasked: „Thenothernobles?”德尔菲恩却没直接回答,而是问道:“那么其他贵族们呢?”„No, theyhave not seenthatring, the mahatmaplacehave not raised.”

“我根本就没想这么一个人。”法伊娜想也不想便回急忙辩解道,但出口才意识到不对,脸上立刻滚滚发烫。Shelowers the head, a modeling of ostrich.

“陛下……怎、怎么会选择布、布兰多先生,他虽然是伯爵,可他是埃鲁因的贵族啊。”法伊娜终还是忍不住开口问道。„Because in some sense, anyone outstanding of Her Majesty the Queeninusis more far-seeing,”Delphinealsoreorganized a mood, sinceresay/way.

“因为从某种意义上来说,女王陛下比我们中的任何一个人都卓有远见,”德尔菲恩也整理了一下情绪,正色道。她浅紫色的眸子里闪过一丝光芒,因为那正是她最崇拜那种人:“改变克鲁兹贵族的决议只是一个开始而已,风精灵、法恩赞人、玛达拉的使节还有随时可能抵达的银湾诸邦的领主们,要说服所有人这座要塞还有守住的希望,那么就必须平衡各方的力量。”„This is almost notquest / mission that is possibleto complete, butalsohaspossibility——”

“圣奥索尔那对王-储姐弟,他们的身份虽然罕为人知,但在关键的时刻一定会以那个人的意见为左右。而银湾那头老白狼还有现在的修女公主,与他的关系更是密切。艾尔兰塔德鲁伊们的态度,早已了然。而还有一件广为人知的事实,那就是白银之民也支持他。”„The strength that only thenhe, candisintegratethesemixesin the same place. At the presentheneedsalsoonly then a stage, Her Majesty the Queenhas givenhim the keyin facttothisstage.”

“那就是克鲁兹帝国那顶至高的桂冠,她亲手将它送了出去。”Perhapsthatissheleaves the finalhope of thisworld.
那或许是她留给这个世界的最后希望。Delphineis silent.德尔菲恩沉默不语。

一千四百四十年前,矮人王卡里芬丢弃了盟约,带着大地圣殿退出了神圣的同盟。

一千一百三十年前,哈泽尔人与四大圣殿宣布决裂。a thousand years ago, Four Holy Cathedralsfounds a nationone after another.一千年前,四大圣殿相继立国。From that moment on, the sacredpledgeis nothing left.
从那一刻起,神圣的誓言荡然无存。

而这一次,什么样的名字才会被铭刻于天青的石碑之上?Shegot hold of the fist.
她握紧了拳头。„Fina, wemustmake the Her Majesty the Queenlast wishbe ableto realize, letfinditspropermastertoFlame Holy Ring,”Delphineurged the one's owngoodrules of friendshipearnestly: „ButImusthandle a matter, thereforeyoumustconvinceyour father, mygrandfatheralsohasVeronicaandMangroveto supportthismatter.”
“法伊娜,我们必须要让女王陛下的遗愿得以实现,让至炎圣戒找到它应有的主人,”德尔菲恩认真地叮嘱自己的好友道:“但我必须去办一件事情,所以你必须说服你父亲,我祖父还有维罗妮卡、曼格罗夫支持这件事情。”„I?”Finainsteadpointed atreferred to itself, surprised: „How can Ibe able to achieve?

“我?”法伊娜反手指了指自己,惊讶至极:“我怎么能做得到?再说莱纳瑞特殿下怎么办,那可是他的王位,我们这么做是不是太过分了?而且路德维格领的贵族中有许多人支持他,包括曼格罗夫将军在内,他们不可能会支持我们的。”„ButtheymustsupporttoFlame Holy Ring, noblesis impossibleto violate the agreement,”Delphineis as deep as a wellsmiles: „Moreoverthisis not the stratagemseizes the throne, weborrowitsa period of time, all theseforjust, Ibelieve that the sovereigneldest sonhewill understand.”
“但他们必须支持至炎圣戒,贵族们不可能违背约定,”德尔菲恩高深莫测地一笑:“而且这也不是谋夺王位,我们只是借用它一段时间而已,这一切都是为了正义,我相信皇长子他会理解的。”„Real?”AlthoughFinasomewhatsuspected, buthas not thought the one's owngood friendwill deceive himself, whatthoughtlet aloneshedoes not knowin the prime minister's daughterbrainto transfer.
“真的吗?”法伊娜虽然有些怀疑,但也没想过自己的好友会欺骗自己,何况她根本不知道宰相千金脑子里在转着什么样的念头。„Thisis the agreement,”Delphineblinkstohersmart-alecky: „Moreoveryoucould rest assured that I willconvincedYour HighnessLenarret.”
“这是约定,”德尔菲恩俏皮地冲她眨了眨眼睛:“而且你放心,我会说服莱纳瑞特殿下的。”Finasilentmoment, butsets firm resolvefinally, herraises headasked: „How can Ido?”法伊娜沉默了片刻,但终于下定了决心,她抬起头来问道:“那我应当怎么做?”Delphineshows a faint smile, thisrevealsfox tail: „Yougraspedto the Flame Holy Ringsecret, so long asconvincedyour fatherandmygrandfatheralsoto have the Great Sage Valaapproval, sufficientlyaboutnobleswiththisringresolution——, althoughIbelieve that mygrandfather and mahatmaplacealsoveryhesitated, butyoumustunderstand that the agreementagreedafter all, theywill compromise.”德尔菲恩微微一笑,这才露出狐狸尾巴:“你掌握了至炎圣戒的秘密,只要说服你父亲、我祖父还有大圣座瓦拉认同,就足以用这枚戒指左右贵族们的决议——虽然我相信我祖父和大圣座也很犹豫,但你必须明白约定毕竟是约定,他们会妥协的。”
„ ThenisWind Elf;elvesobserves the commitment, if the Kirrlutzianchoiceperseveres, Wind Elfwill not sit by and do nothingmostly.

“然后是风精灵;精灵们信守承诺,如果克鲁兹人选择坚守,风精灵多半也不会坐视不管。最重要的是,虽然那对王-储姐弟现在还没有对这场谈判施加任何影响,但他们却有一锤定音的能力,精灵们不会违抗风后指环的意志的。如果你能代表那位伯爵大人,我相信他们会做出自己的选择——“Finahearthese words, deeplybreathed in.

这不但是王位之争,更决定了整个大陆未来的走向,若德尔菲恩所说的切实可行,那她们岂不是在这片刻之间便决定了无数人未来的命运?Finareexamineshas the one's ownfriend, probablywantsto see that actuallyon her to be hiding the bigambition.法伊娜不由重新审视起自己的朋友,好像想看出这位她身上究竟潜藏着多大的野心。„You, Delphine, actually do youwantto makewhat?”
“那你呢,德尔菲恩,你究竟要去做什么?”„Naturallyfordoes not disappointyourexpectation, Ihave not meant,”Delphineis smilingreplying: „Imustdo, issuch a matter.”
“当然是为了不辜负你的期望,我不是说过么,”德尔菲恩微笑着答道:“我要去做的,就是这样一件事情。”Inthis time, out of the dooris resounding the knock of rule.
