Always seems especially beautiful close to one year of end Valhalla city, the entire city covers under a special atmosphere, is warm and peaceful. Jet black black out of the window is fluttering the snowflake, the distant place Princess avenue decorated lantern initial rise, the magic connected of ray in the darkness, forms a radiant necklace. Downward is a stretch of auspicious outer city area, lights, after each window, is warm household. 临近一年之末的瓦尔哈拉城总是显得格外美丽,整座城市笼罩在一种特殊的氛围之下,温馨而安宁。漆黑黑的窗外飘着雪花,远处公主大街华灯初升,魔法的光芒在黑暗之中点点相连,形成一条璀璨的项链。往下是一片祥和的外城区,朵朵灯火,每一扇窗户之后都是一个温暖的家庭。 The brilliantly illuminated middle-level platform, the residents are conducting all night revelry there obviously upward, Kiara hold the cheek. In the eye is glittering the ray of twinkle star, envies extremely looks there. 往上可见灯火辉煌的中层平台,市民们正在那里进行彻夜的狂欢,琪雅拉托着腮帮子。眼中闪烁着星星点点的光芒,羡慕万分地看着那里。 This is the third year under her residing temporarily fence, since Levine- Orneson dies, Her Highness the Princess then delivers to this place her in the name of marrying. But does that to let Kiara in fact far away from the relative who these harbor evil intentions, after all in Seifer Family, many people covets that title the right of inheritance. 这是她寄居篱下的第三年,自从列文-奥内森死后,公主殿下便以联姻的名义将她送到这个地方。但这么做实质上是为了让琪雅拉远离那些不怀好意的亲属,毕竟在西法赫家族,还有许多人觊觎那个爵位的继承权。 Kiara have nothing is not familiar with, she said no that on to Fir Tree Shire likes also being far repugnantly, but is interested in that Lord Count —— her nominal fiance only very much. This time female child-bearing age is very often early, damsel is so, Kiara not really minded that this wedding, after all the opposite party itself is elder brother Orneson refers to the marriage personally to her spouse, that outstanding. 琪雅拉自己倒没有什么不习惯,对冷杉领她说不上喜欢也谈不上讨厌,但独独对那位伯爵大人——她名义上的未婚夫很感兴趣。这个时代女性的育龄往往很早,贵族少女更是如此,琪雅拉也不真的介意这门婚事,毕竟对方本就是兄长奥内森亲自指婚给她的配偶,又那么的优秀。 How if not she intimacy of Sifah to that person, that necklace will have the significance of presenting a gift faith token. 若非如此她又怎么会将西法赫之心交给那人,那条项链本身就有定情信物的意义。 May make her feel what is somewhat annoyed, oneself that distantly related older female cousin, always like looking at the child visits her, for fear that Lord Count bribed was the same. „Snort, is not wants to steal food forget it/that's all!” Kiara is frowning to entrain the feather pen: „Really repugnant, Erkan III descendants how?” 可让她感到有些恼火的是,自己那个远房的堂姐,总是像看小孩子一样看着她,生怕那位伯爵大人染指了一样。“哼,还不是自己想偷吃罢了！”琪雅拉皱着眉头拽着羽毛笔:“真讨厌,埃尔坎三世的子孙又怎么了？” Ling and lotus have doubts in the one side look at the Kiara movement. 玲和莲在一旁疑惑地看着琪雅拉的动作。 The growth retardation of elf, early several years they seem like also with the Kiara general size, but the latter has even more left now ends up seems a little elder sister, compared with two little girl, were many some ignorant worries. „Kiara, you how?” The lotus asked soft-spokenly. 精灵的发育迟缓,早几年她们俩看起来还和琪雅拉一般大小,但现在后者已经愈发出落得像是一个小姐姐了,与两个小姑娘相比,多了一些懵懂的烦恼。“琪雅拉,你怎么了？”莲细声细气地问道。 „You do not understand.” Kiara did not reply patiently. “你不懂。”琪雅拉不耐烦地答道。 Ling replied lightly: „Miss Amandina has said that which this year your do not want to go.” 玲淡淡地答道:“安蒂缇娜小姐说过,今年你哪儿也别想去。” „I knew,” Kiara air/Qi wants to pull the hair: „Does not need you to repeat.” “我知道了,”琪雅拉气得想要抓头发:“不需要你来重复一遍。” „Hair do not mess up.” Scarlett helps her sew good last brass button, the urging to say. “头发别弄乱了。”茜帮她钉好最后一个铜扣子,叮嘱道。 Medissa after three people, takes Ling's hair for her pigtail thin pigtail, hold the smile to listen to three little girl whisper the conversation. Although two sisters place in the name of Scarlett, but as her elder sister's daughter, they may be she true the family member in this world. 梅蒂莎在三人身后,拿着玲的头发为她辫细辫,一面面噙微笑地听着三个小姑娘叽叽咕咕地交谈。虽然两姐妹是寄养在茜名下,但作为她姐姐的女儿,她们可算是她在这世上真正的亲人。 „Miss Amandina controlled too strictly to them.” Scarlett put in order the Kiara collar carefully, sets out, is frowning slightly to Medissa said. Little Silver Elven Princess, the eye bent a crescent moon with a laugh, is shaking the head saying: „You may result to go with her to say.” “安蒂缇娜小姐对她们管束得太严了。”茜细心地整了整琪雅拉的领子,直起身来,略微皱着眉头对梅蒂莎说道。银精灵小公主笑呵呵地,眼睛都弯成了一道月牙,摇着头说道:“那你可得自己去和她说。” Scarlett stared in a big way the eye, she does not dare to annoy that severe young lady. 茜瞪大了眼睛,她可不敢去惹那位严厉的小姐。 „Miss Amandina is also fears them to have an accident,” Medissa said with a smile: „After all at this time is different in those days, Twilight Army threatens the border, decisive battle nears, Dragon of Twilight in order domestic lackey, although the vitality damages greatly, but will be difficult to guarantee them not to do to have an accident, in order to all things will probably are careful.” “安蒂缇娜小姐也是怕她们出事,”梅蒂莎笑道:“毕竟今时不同往日,黄昏大军压境,决战在即,黄昏之龙在秩序境内的爪牙虽然元气大损,但难保他们不会搞出什么事来,万事须得小心起见。” She looked at three little girl, said: „At the beginning of the year, stuffy at home indeed is not means that later the banquet ended, I lead you to watch the celebration.” 她看了看三个小姑娘,又说道:“不过新年伊始,闷在家里的确不是个办法,待会宴会结束,我带你们去看庆典吧。” Kiara raises head comes all of a sudden, the eye emits quickly up: „Real, Elder Sister Medissa?” 琪雅拉一下子抬起头来,眼睛都快放出光来:“真的吗,梅蒂莎姐姐？” „Naturally, but you may result in later obedient.” Medissa said seriously. “当然,不过待会你们可得听话。”梅蒂莎一本正经地说道。 „!” Three little girl child dispositions, cheered after all together. “耶！”三个小姑娘毕竟小孩心性,一起欢呼了起来。 ‚Hū’ cold wind mixes with the snowflake to flood into the warm hall, even in the chamber the bright flame ray dark several degrees, Amandina, Nemesis and White Reed pushed the door to come from the courtyard, three people of windproof coat shoulders accumulated light snow. White Reed takes off the windproof coat to give nearby board Flo of face, happily chatted peaceful/late peaceful/late to look at several people, asked: „What matter is so happy?” ‘呼’一声寒风夹杂着雪花涌入温暖的大厅内,连炉膛内明亮的火苗光线都暗了几度,安蒂缇娜、尼玫西丝与白葭从院子外面推门进来,三人风衣肩头都积了一层薄薄的雪。白葭脱下风衣交给一旁板着一张脸的芙罗,言笑晏晏地看着几人,问道:“什么事这么开心？” „Snort.” Kiara gently snort/hum. “哼。”琪雅拉轻轻哼了一声。 „Elder Sister Medissa must lead us to go out to play.” The lotus replied very cleverly. “梅蒂莎姐姐要带我们出去玩。”莲十分乖巧地回答道。 „That may really be good.” “那可真是不错。” „Coaxes the tone of child.” Kiara replied lightly. “哄小孩子的口气。”琪雅拉淡淡地答道。 Amandina stared her one eyes severely. 安蒂缇娜严厉地瞪了她一眼。 The people laugh in one's heart, the Medissa also lowering the head chuckle, Amandina asked that nearby Flo said: „Had other guest to arrive, I saw the carriage outside.” Flo sharp-eared shook shaking, this Miss elf the vision is staring at younger sister one's own, sneakily is arriving by long table Tia to spit the tongue —— little darling to put down the gingerbread in hand embarrassed. 众人暗笑,梅蒂莎也低头轻笑,安蒂缇娜问一旁的芙罗道:“有别的客人到了吗,我在外面看到马车了。”芙罗耳朵尖儿抖了抖,这位精灵小姐目光正盯着自己的妹妹,偷偷摸摸来到一张长桌旁的蒂亚不好意思地吐了吐舌头——乖乖放下了手中的姜饼。 She then opens the mouth to reply: „Princess Gryphine and Princess Magdelle in building Shangshufang.” 她这才开口答道:“格里菲因公主和玛格达尔公主在楼上书房里。” Miss Adviser then nodded. 幕僚小姐这才点了点头。 She carefully looked at three little girl, said rarely gently: „Remembers that do not add to the chaos to Miss Medissa.” 她仔细看了看三个小姑娘,罕有地温柔地说道:“记得别给梅蒂莎小姐添乱。” „Got it!” “明白了！” Crisp reply sound. 脆生生的回答声。 Brando somewhat looks at this near the fireplace warmly, is a little unexpectedly lost. 布兰多在壁炉边有些温馨地看着这一幕,竟有点儿出神。 This Fortress Fir, looks like him in the family/home of this world, its each member, seems this household member. Other Medissa, Scarlett, Amandina, upperclasswoman, Ling and lotus people are also good, although people do not know that actually in the near future can be how, but everyone incomparably treasures this current time without a doubt. 这座冷杉堡,就像是他在这个世界的家,它的每一个成员,都仿佛是这个家庭的一份子。无论是梅蒂莎、茜、安蒂缇娜、学姐、玲和莲还是其他人也好,虽然人们并不知道不远的未来究竟会是如何,但毫无疑问每一个人都无比珍惜这当下的时光。 Similar to this Year of Spring Dawn last days, within this new year, people understand, perhaps will be very very long in the long time in the future, they will recall this period of final tranquil time. 就如同这春晓之年的最后一段日子,这个新年之内,人们明白,或许在将来很久很久的时光内,他们都会回忆起这段最后的宁静时日。 Future day, people more will witness the flames of war that spreads, the death, leaves, with sad. 未来的日子,人们将会更多地见证蔓延的战火,死亡,离别,与悲伤。 It will be more frigid than any war that the civilized world goes through. 它将比文明世界所经历的任何一场战争都更为惨烈。 Brando asked steadily: „Had the Cagliss news?” 布兰多目不转睛地问道:“有卡格利斯的消息了吗？” In him behind, Ciel shakes the head slowly: „No, but we have searched entire Bernice and neighboring region afterward, had not at least discovered that the remains of Mr. Cagliss, can only judge to be missing.” 在他身后,夏尔缓缓地摇了摇头:“没有,不过事后我们搜索过整个伯尼切尔以及周边地区,至少没发现卡格利斯先生的遗体,只能判断为失踪。” Brando sighed, understands at heart this world the grotesque and gaudy ability and spell were too many, without finding body, but cannot guarantee that the opposite party was completely safe and sound. When on the same day Cagliss shielded Halutz and Mikaya leave, in the heart must be fully prepared —— 布兰多叹了口气,心里明白这个世界上光怪陆离的能力与法术实在太多,纵使没有找到遗体,但也不能保证对方完全安然无恙。想必当日卡格利斯掩护哈鲁泽与米卡雅离开时,心中就应当已经做好了一切准备—— In the Brando heart somewhat is disappointed, initially was he makes this youngster take this path, he promised that certainly will bless the opposite party and Maria wedding, at the present that old-fashioned noble gentleman nods finally, but on the day of this outstanding youngster actually could not wait again. 布兰多心中只是有些怅然,当初是他让这个年轻人走上这条道路,他许诺一定会庇佑对方与梅里亚的婚事,而今那位老派的贵族绅士终于点头,但这个优秀的年轻人却再也等不到那一天。 „Her Highness the Princess had also asked this matter, Astrologers thinks that this was not the indication of death, perhaps we have not lost all hopes.” “公主殿下也问过这件事,占星术士们认为这并非死亡的征兆,或许我们还没有失去所有的希望。” „I also think that but cannot pull out the hand at present, a Callas situation day of stern as day, the local business has entrusted to Lantolian Patrol Cavalry.” Ciel replied. “我也是这么想的,不过眼下抽不开手来,卡拉苏的局势一天严峻似一天,当地的事务已经委托给兰托尼兰的巡查骑兵了。”夏尔答道。 Brando nodded, understands also can only so. 布兰多点了点头,明白也只能如此。 He puts down letter in hand gently, put down the letter paper corner with the finger. 他轻轻放下手中的信笺,用手指平了平信纸的边角。 Crossed some little time, asked: „Ciel, what is Gaia?” 过了好一会儿,才又问道:“夏尔,什么是盖亚？” Ciel reads that letter/believes, hesitant moment: „Is this Ms. white writes to your letter/believes?” 夏尔看着那封信,犹豫了片刻:“这是白女士写给你的那封信吗？” Brando nodded. 布兰多点了点头。 „That this issue, the Sir must ask Alvina or Miss Andrea, after all only then they had known about that past myth time.” Ciel replied, the flame of not far away fireplace knock-knock is burning, red light complementing on his profile. “那这个问题,大人可得问奥薇娜或是安德莉亚小姐,毕竟只有她们才对那个过去的神话时代有所了解。”夏尔答道,不远处壁炉的火光剥剥燃烧着,红光映衬在他的一侧脸上。 „I have asked them.” “我问过她们。” „Oh, how did they say?” “喔,她们怎么说？” „Gaia is not part of tiamat jurisdiction, even only then Marsha knows Gaia is, its responsibility is to breed the life ; The strength that created me ‚surface plan’ is Marsha with the aid of Gaia was completed, the tiamat network provided necessary Energy for this plan. Therefore, has been deceiving Dragon of Twilight —— successfully” “盖亚并不是tiamat权限的一部分,甚至只有玛莎知道盖亚的所在,它的职责是孕育生命;那个造就了我的‘曲面计划’就是玛莎借助盖亚的力量完成的,tiamat的网络只是为这个计划提供了必要的能量而已。正因此,才成功骗过了黄昏之龙——” Ciel listened somewhat to ask with amazement: „That in other words, Gaia does not have the Laws of Tiamat jurisdiction, isn't one god?” 夏尔听了有些惊讶地问道:“那不就是说,盖亚并不具有tiamat法则的权限,并不是一位神祇？” Brando nodded. 布兰多点了点头。 „Then as if also indeed so, I in the God races time, Gaia am not god that has truly, Holy Cathedral of Earth Chief God is god of Schimilud Lofty Mountain. Torquine Leonin and dwarves, although politely calls Gaia is Earthmother, but on Dark Blue Poem about the description of all previous war, record that also this goddess has not entered the war.” “这么说来似乎也的确如此,我记起来在神民的时代,盖亚并不是一位真正存在的神祇,大地圣殿的主神是崇山之神希米露德。托奎宁的狮人与矮人们虽然尊称盖亚为大地之母,但在苍之诗上关于历次的战争的描述中,也并没有这位女神参战的记录。” Ciel frowned, remembered anything suddenly. 夏尔皱了皱眉头,忽然想起了一些什么。 But Brando asked: „But perhaps she is not a goddess that is the war?” 但布兰多却问道:“可或许她不是一位司职战争的女神呢？” „But her jurisdiction is not in tiamat Laws, only if her strength and Marsha are equal,” Ciel replied categorically: „Another Chief God.” “但她的权限并不在tiamat的法则之内,除非她的力量与玛莎等同,”夏尔斩钉截铁地答道:“另一位主神。” Brando remembers that to see in the stagnation, with the Funiya extremely similar young girl, shakes the head. He has seen Marsha, sees among that every action and every movement then to grasp the entire Laws of Tiamat strength, that dignified and inclusive all strengths, as if have the whole world. But perhaps although the Gaia goddess knows many secrets, the wisdom must just like understands clearly all, but gives his feeling to be entirely different. 布兰多想起那个在停滞之界见过的,与芙妮雅极为相似的少女,摇了摇头。他见过玛莎,见过那种一举一动之间便能掌握整个tiamat法则的力量,那种威严而包容一切的力量,仿佛拥有整个世界。而盖亚女神虽然或许知晓很多秘密,睿智得恍若洞悉一切,但给他的感觉却截然不同。 Ciel visits him, suddenly asked: „Why did Lord Thane ask this?” 夏尔看着他,忽然问道:“领主大人为什么问起这个？” Brando shakes the head, replies: „In the letter/believes said white/in vain will leave behind a hope to us, I thought her to resurrect Medissa, but looks like her scheme now not so. She obtained the Gaia strength with difficulty, even has to abandon every world the sentiment, is actually why?” 布兰多摇了摇头,答道:“白在信上说会给我们所有人留下一个希望,我原本以为她不过是为了复活梅蒂莎,可现在看来她的图谋远非如此。她千辛万苦获得了盖亚的力量,甚至不得不抛弃凡世的感情,究竟是为什么呢？” „She is a very ambitious woman, Sir.” “她本身就是一个很有野心的女人,大人。” Brando looks at Ciel: „Is it possible that is still taking to heart for your paternal great-grandfather's matter?” 布兰多看着夏尔:“莫非还在为了你曾祖父的事情而耿耿于怀？” The latter shakes the head: „That is insufficient but actually, I want to say that in this world possibly does not have Isis.” 后者摇了摇头:“那倒不至于,我只是想说,这个世界上可能不只有一个埃希斯。” Brando nodded. 布兰多点了点头。 But in the heart felt that faintly perhaps white/in vain at this matter, has not deceived her. 但心中却隐隐感到或许白在这件事上,并没有骗她。 Opposite party's so-called hope actually why? 对方所谓的希望究竟为何呢？ Gryphine is gazing at radiant lights of Valhalla from afar during the night. 格里菲因远远注视着瓦尔哈拉在黑夜之中璀璨的灯火。 Her both hands put down the white enamel teacup, in the study room the tea aroma curls, lifts the small head, decides is gazing at the one's own good friend: „When Vlada, you have thought today, Magdelle?” 她双手放下白瓷茶杯,书房之内茶香袅袅,抬起螓首,定定地注视着自己的挚友:“在弗拉达时,你有想过今天吗,玛格达尔？” Magdelle is smiling faintly shaking the head of: „Gryphine, I will told you, even if in the craziest incredible dreamland, has not thought will have such a day, did you believe?” 玛格达尔浅笑着摇了摇头:“格里菲因,我会告诉你,哪怕是在最疯狂荒诞的梦境之中,也没有想过会有这样一天,你相信吗？” Princess Gryphine had not replied. 格里菲因公主并没有回答。 But the silent silence is the answers of all issues. 但无声的沉默已经是一切问题的答案。 Yes, who will think? Their each other destinies will have 180 degrees transition in Ampere Searl this point of intersection unexpectedly, but all unexpectedly are because the reason of same person. Gryphine is stroking gently the cup edge with the high-pitched and fine fingertip gently: „I will sometimes even have an misconception, thinks that this is not my true destiny, perhaps is only a fond dream. I feared very much this dream will wake up, because since these days I will often have a nightmare, making me awaken whole body in cold sweat from the midnight......” 是啊,谁又会想到呢？她们彼此的命运竟会在安培瑟尔这个交点上发生一百八十度的转折,而一切竟是因为同一个人的缘故。格里菲因轻轻用尖细的指尖摩挲着杯沿:“我有时候甚至会有一种错觉,认为这并不是我真正的命运,或许只是一场美梦。我很怕这个梦会就此醒来,因为这些日子以来我常常会做一个噩梦,令我从半夜惊醒一身冷汗……” „What kind of nightmare that is, friend of mine?” Magdelle asked: „Since perhaps had been you these days anxious was too heavy, why not saying makes me share for you, may feel better.” “那是怎样的噩梦呢,我的朋友？”玛格达尔问道:“或许是你这些日子以来忧虑太重,何不说出来让我为你分担一些,或许会好受很多。” „Thanks, Magdelle,” Gryphine said in a soft voice: „In the dream, my dream to another different Aouine, had not met Brando there me, but I and you after Vlada distinguishes, is royalist betrays in Ampere Searl, has to marry to Anlieke, becomes tool that he bears children. But nobles to the condition that I promise, but is the one after another happy lie, I see with one's own eyes Halutz dead before me, Aouine also perishes in the sea of fire finally, I spell to go all-out to save all, waits for my finally is actually sharp blade ——” “谢谢,玛格达尔,”格里菲因轻声说道:“在梦中,我梦到了另外一个不一样的埃鲁因,在那里我没有遇到布兰多,而我与你在弗拉达分别之后,在安培瑟尔为王党所出卖,不得不下嫁给安列克,成为他生儿育女的工具。而贵族们对我许诺的条件,不过是一个个美好的谎言,我亲眼看到哈鲁泽死在我面前,埃鲁因也最终沉沦于火海,我拼尽全力去挽救一切,等待我的最终却不过是一把利刃——” The Her Highness the Eldest Princess sound somewhat shivers: „But kills my is not a plot, but is the limitless despair, Magdelle, you can understand that such feeling, has no chance, jet black went nonstop to without the light to the path of abyss and death.” 长公主殿下的声音有些颤抖起来:“但杀死我的并非阴谋,而是无边无际的绝望,玛格达尔,你能明白那样的感受吗,没有任何希望,一条漆黑无光直通向深渊与死亡的道路。” Magdelle supple sound said: „But that is only the dream, you ran into Mr. Brando eventually isn't that so.” 玛格达尔柔声道:“但那只是梦而已,你终究遇到了布兰多先生不是吗。” Gryphine deeply breathed in. 格里菲因深深地吸了一口气。 She was with great difficulty quiet, replied: „Perhaps thank you, Magdelle, indeed so —— I still recall Sir Oberbeck to describe his scene initially for the first time near my ear, the same day situation also came clearly into view. Afterward I and his mail exchange, took the faith token with the brooch, that perhaps was during my life the boldest action, but wants to come now, that moment I how lucky.” 她好不容易才平静了下来,答道:“谢谢你,玛格达尔,或许的确如此——我至今回忆起当初欧弗韦尔爵士在我耳边第一次描述他的场景,当日的情形还历历在目。后来我与他书信往来,用胸针作为信物,那或许是我一生当中最大胆的举动了,但现在想来,那一刻的我是多么的幸运。” Magdelle gazes at the one's own friend gently, but in the eye envies completely: „You are indeed lucky, Gryphine.” 玛格达尔温柔地注视自己的朋友,但眼中满是羡慕:“你的确是幸运的,格里菲因。” Princess Gryphine raises head is coming to see her: „You also moved, Magdelle?” 格里菲因公主抬起头来看着她:“你也动心了吗,玛格达尔？” „How can not move,” Magdelle replied confidently: „He changed the path of my life, entered my heart, in any event, I am unable he position —— my originally in my heart to think oneself must walk this life ordinary, but the tranquil life is far from I imagined that easily, Mr. Brando made me understand this point.” “怎么能够不动心呢,”玛格达尔坦然地答道:“他改变了我生命的轨迹,又进入了我的心扉,无论如何,我都无法他在我心中的位置——我原本认为自己应当平凡地走完这一生,可是原来平静的生活来得远非我想象中那么轻易,也正是布兰多先生让我明白了这一点。” Gryphine silently by right. 格里菲因默然以对。 Yes , when perhaps when only then that moment approaches, people can understand. Even if strictly adheres to immediately precious all, originally is still a luxurious matter. 是啊,或许只有等到那一刻来临之际,人们才能够明白。即便是谨守当下所珍贵的一切,原来也是一件奢侈的事情。 Two people look at point lights in darkness. 两人都看着黑暗中的点点灯火。 „You have thought that this perhaps was the last new year that our life can see, Magdelle?” “你想过吗,这或许是我们此生所能见到的最后一个新年了,玛格达尔？” „But people were still protecting this final a little ray cautiously.” “但人们仍旧小心翼翼地守护着这最后的一点儿光芒。” „Hopes that long all night long will pass.” “希望长夜终会过去。” ...... …… The Freya final check a one's own warhorse, she patted the neck of this domestic animal, for it along wool, added hay and bean for it carefully, withdrew from the horse stable again cautiously. The distant place is brilliantly illuminated, the White Lion Legion soldiers are cleaning the one's own weapon and armor, although is new year, but in the entire camp is actually a bustling scene, looking into the distance, everyone is making the final preparation. 芙蕾雅最后检查了一遍自己的战马,她拍了拍这头牲畜的脖子,为它顺了一遍毛,仔细地为它添了一遍干草与豆子,再小心翼翼地退出了马厩之中。远处灯火通明,白狮军团的士兵们正在擦拭自己的武器与盔甲,虽然是新年时分,但整个营地之中却是一片热火朝天的景象,放眼望去,每一个人都在作最后的准备。 After today, they will leave this native land, goes to above plateau to participate in that true war. 今天之后,他们就将离开这片故土,前往高原之上参与那场真正的战争。 Although many person first time on battlefields, but everyone seems very heroic, each other is cracking a joke. A young soldier was discussing full of enthusiasm the wife who have not gotten married, and war ended later life ——, although many people understand, most of them are not possibly able to return to this lands again. 虽然许多人还是第一次上战场,但人人都显得十分豪迈,彼此开着玩笑。一个年轻的士兵兴致勃勃地讨论着自己未过门的妻子,以及战争结束之后的生活——虽然很多人都明白,他们中的大部分人可能都无法再回到这片土地上。 But people are encouraging mutually, everyone understands reason that clearly oneself go to generously, worrying of because behind not being able to put down ; But chooses to leave, because deeply is loving here all. 但人们互相勉励着,每个人都清楚地明白自己之所以慷慨赴死,正是因为背后所放不下的牵挂;而之所以选择离开,正是因为深爱着这里的一切。 Freya is startled to stand silently in the darkness. 芙蕾雅默默地怔立在黑暗之中。 But is worrying in her heart, why actually? 而她心中的牵挂,却又是为何呢？ could it be that merely for Aouine? 难道仅仅是为了埃鲁因？ For Bucce's everyone? 还是为了布契的大家？ She looks at that soldier young face of afar, the happiness smiling face that above brims with, in the heart was punctured one unexpectedly painful. That as if was still Bruglas that night, the bright moonlight sprinkled in the Bruglas alley, in the tavern heard the melodious music just like a nocturne, two people vision each other relative. 她远远地看着那个士兵年轻的脸庞,上面所洋溢的幸福的笑容,心中竟被刺得一痛。那仿佛仍是布拉格斯的那个夜晚,皎洁的月光洒落在布拉格斯的小巷之中,酒馆内传来悠扬的乐声宛若一首夜曲,两人的目光彼此相对。 She still remembers oneself wear the military uniform that most like, careful appearance, but that stupid fellow did not seem to detected, only urged the matter that she must pay attention to the future all affairs big or small, then put on her to deliver his situation of that ring personally. 她至今仍记得自己穿着那件自己最喜欢的军装,精心打扮,但那个呆头呆脑的家伙仿佛没有发觉,只事无巨细地叮嘱她未来要注意的事情,然后亲手戴上她送他的那枚戒指的情形。 ‚You understand that now why I must make you go to Royal Knight Academy, Freya?’ ‘你现在明白为什么我要让你去王立骑士学院了吗,芙蕾雅？’ ‚Because of Freya, I needs your help.’ ‘因为芙雷娅,我需要你的帮助。’ This Aouine's Valkyrie closed tightly the lip, the teardrops fell unexpectedly under. 这位埃鲁因的女武神咬紧了嘴唇,泪珠竟然滑落而下。 „I do not know......” “我不知道……” „But I for you.” “可我只是为了你而已。” „All these, are......” “这一切,都是……” She covers to be quiet, has turned around, but never expected that heavily ran upon a person. Loses balanced Freya is almost subconsciously goes backward but actually, but a hand then held her before that came from Bucce's young girl raises head startled, first heaving in sight is that familiar, the big form, that flash tears cannot bear tumble unexpectedly. 她捂住嘴,转过身,但没想到重重地撞上了一个人。失去平衡的芙蕾雅几乎是下意识地向后倒去,但一只手却在那之前便抓住了她,来自布契的少女愕然地抬起头来,第一眼映入眼帘的便是那个熟悉的、高大的身影,那一刹那眼泪竟忍不住一下就滚落下来。 Brando looks at this young girl silently, in the heart five senses Chen Za , he Freya, Romaine come from Bucce, three people are also most familiar, but he has not thought, oneself will be in such important position in this pure young girl heart. He wipes the tears on face with the hand for this Miss Valkyrie gently, suddenly somewhat regretted, regretted that decision that initially made. 布兰多默默地看着这个少女,心中五味陈杂,他、芙蕾雅、罗曼三人都出身于布契,三人彼此之间也最为熟悉,但他怎么也没想到,自己会在这个单纯的少女心中占据如此重要的地位。他轻轻用手为这位女武神小姐拭去脸上的泪花,忽然之间有些后悔,后悔当初自己所作的那个决定。 He now is clear, making a Freya person go to Royal Knight Academy alone, goes to a to her completely strange environment, is a how unfeeling matter. 他现在才明白,让芙蕾雅一个人独自前往王立骑士学院,前往一个对于她来说完全陌生的环境,是一件多么绝情的事情。 But for him, this from, the ignorant and pure young girl actually chose this road in the Bucce countries dutifully. 但为了他,这位来自于布契乡野之间、懵懂而单纯的少女却义无反顾地选择了这条路。 Freya absentmindedly looks at Brando's, above that index finger, is wrapping a ruby ring that is glittering the dim light, was unexpectedly exactly the same as that time. 芙蕾雅怔怔地看着布兰多的手,在那食指之上,套着一枚闪烁着幽光的红宝石戒指,竟与那个时候一模一样。 „This...... is this?” She nearly cannot believe the one's own eye. “这……这是？”她近乎不敢相信自己的眼睛。 „Sorry, Freya,” Brando somewhat replied clumsily: „My careless(ly) spoiled you to deliver my ring, this ring was Grandmaster Tamar builds specially, tomorrow I do not have the means to accompany you to go to Callas, but I hope that it will replace me to protect your ——” “对不起,芙蕾雅,”布兰多有些笨拙地答道:“我不小心弄坏了你送我的那枚戒指,这枚戒指是塔玛大师专门打造的,明天我没有办法陪你去卡拉苏,可我希望它会代替我保护你——” The tears welled up again, but this time, is the happy tears. 眼泪再一次涌了出来,但这一次,是幸福的泪水。 The Freya eye holds the tears to look that Brando picks up one's own cautiously, then both hands put on that ring. At that moment, she felt that she almost must faint. 芙蕾雅眼噙泪花看着布兰多小心翼翼地托起自己的手,然后双手自己戴上了那枚戒指。那一刻,她感到自己几乎要晕过去。 „Accompanies me to go to the banquet .” Brando holds the hand of Freya, must lead her to walk out. “陪我去宴会,好吗。”布兰多牵起芙蕾雅的手,就要带着她往外走。 But Freya actually halted. 但芙蕾雅却站住了。 Brando looks back her, the young girl shakes the head firmly, she has the courage of whole body probably, said: „I will want on the battlefield tomorrow, Brando.” 布兰多回过头来看着她,少女坚定地摇了摇头,她好像鼓起自己全身的勇气,说道:“我明天要上战场了,布兰多。” „But I do not know can oneself live ——” “可我不知道自己能不能活着回来——” „Tonight, lets my willful one time, Ok?” “今天晚上,让我任性一次,可以吗？” That is one in the lily that during the night blooms quietly, Brando decides looks at Freya, for a very long time did not say. 那是一朵在黑夜之中悄然绽放的百合花,布兰多定定地看着芙蕾雅,久久不言。 ......( To be continued.) ……(未完待续。)
