This time returns, I decide however do utmost, convince Your Majesty Ervyll, sending out the Verden army to assist Cintra to resist the Nilfgaard invader together!” “咳咳、能受到陛下和王后的邀请,鄙人诚惶诚恐,尤其这两个月,深感陛下之厚待,无以为报。此番回返,鄙人定然竭尽全力,说服埃维尔陛下,派出维登军队协助辛特拉共同抵挡尼弗迦德的侵略者！” „Can't Sir Claudie give a reliable news?” The Calanthe brow twists, on the face of old yet still graceful flashes through angry, „rubbed gently for two months, but also insufficiently your did ponder?” “克罗迪大人就不能给个准信？”卡兰瑟眉头一拧,风韵犹存的脸上闪过一丝恼怒,“磨蹭了两个月,还不够你们陛下思考？” „ Did Ervyll also take to heart about the matter of last year? „ “难道埃维尔还对去年之事耿耿于怀？“ Calanthe heart sigh. 卡兰瑟心头叹息。 Verden had taken the Cintra dependent country since the past long time, in the Cintra asylum, but develops in recent years unceasingly, becomes even more is uncontrolled. 维登在过去很长时间以来作为辛特拉的附属国,处于辛特拉庇护下,但近些年不断发展,却变得越发不受控制。 But Verden dares to feign ignorance in this critical moment, because last year big event —— Ciri Princess went to Nastrogg and Kistrin Prince engagement on the way was missing for no reason. 但维登敢在这种紧要关头打马虎眼,还是因为去年的一起大事件——希里公主前往纳史特洛格与克里斯丁王子订婚的途中无故失踪。 Although Mousesack returned to her from the Brokilon forest external connection afterward. 虽然后来莫斯萨克从布洛克莱昂森林外接回了她。 But Ciri and Kistrin Prince engagement ritual was also marked the rests by Lancer. 但希里和克里斯丁王子的订婚礼也被兰瑟画上休止符。 Marrying of two countries terminates. 两国的联姻就此终止。 In addition, Governor Freixenet who a relative of King Verden, is responsible for fetching the bride is still missing, everyone guessed that he was killed by Dryad in the virgin forest. 此外,维登国王的一个亲戚,负责接亲的菲斯奈特总督至今仍旧下落不明,所有人都猜测他被树精杀死在原始森林中。 Due to the two reasons, Verden king Ervyll, beat around the bush to reject the summons of Cintra. 因为这两个原因,维登的国王埃维尔,才拐弯抹角拒绝辛特拉的号召。 „Does not dare! Sir Ervyll has felt grateful two your majesty thinking highly, if is not ill in the body, decides however comes to have an audience with personally.” Ambassador Verden the dangling head, single knee before two your majesty kneels down. Sings in good voice and with feeling speaks, the corner of the eye drips clear, “不敢！埃维尔大人一直感激两位陛下的器重,若非抱恙在身,定然亲自前来觐见。”维登大使垂下头,在两位陛下面前单膝下跪。声情并茂地演说,眼角淌出晶莹, „However Verden was unable to defend oneself in recent years, the civil strife, robbers and bandits rise from all directions unceasingly...” “然而维登近年来是自身难保,内乱不断、盗匪四起…” „Ok, did not need to explain again!” Eist waved to stop Ambassador Claudie's speech, was difficult to cover the disappointed color, the person on land is inferior to the islander to be frank, „you went back to notify Ervyll, Cintra and Verden search for the head and tail of ship, if we submerged, Verden can escape by luck?” “行了,不用再解释！”伊斯特挥手制止了克罗迪大使的发言,难掩失望之色,陆地上的人全不如岛民直爽,“你回去通报埃维尔,辛特拉和维登就是一搜船的首尾,我们若沉没,维登焉能幸免？” „I believe that he is not the generation of being shortsighted!” “我相信他绝不是鼠目寸光之辈！” The Eist vision shifts starts... to remain the beard that hangs from the waist, the graying at the temples, actually dignified in appearance Ambassador Fyodor, he represents Lyria and Rivia queen Meve. 伊斯特目光转向下手…留着垂自腰间的胡须,两鬓斑白,却仪表堂堂的费奥多尔大使,他代表莱里亚和利维亚的女王米薇。 „ These two months, I am honored and attend this conference proudly, sees Calanthe your majesty beautiful face, listens respectfully to Eist your majesty instruction ardently..., but my decision has not changed from beginning to end. „ “这两个月,我荣幸而自豪地出席这场会议,一睹卡兰瑟陛下的芳容,聆听伊斯特陛下的殷殷教诲…但我的决定从始至终未曾更改。“ „Lyria and Rivia territory is too far from Cintra... makes a long and wearisome journey to come to be really difficult, Meve your majesty not because of queen your blood relationship, threat that because is still not able to determine, consumption so many financial resource physical resources.” “莱里亚和利维亚的领土距离辛特拉太远…长途跋涉而来实在艰难,米薇陛下不会因为和王后您的血缘关系,因为一个尚无法确定的威胁,就消耗如此多财力物力。” Eist by closes the eye to the chairback the head, the complexion is dreary, but Calanthe smiles to the ambassador, the eye narrowed the eyes. 伊斯特把头靠向椅背闭上眼睛,脸色阴郁,而卡兰瑟冲大使笑了笑,眼睛眯了起来。 She fully realized that Meve temperament, the stubborn place is not inferior in oneself. 她深知米薇的脾气,固执之处毫不逊色于自己。 Strove for uselessly. 多求无用。 A Fyodor tone revolution, „, only if the relations between two countries become more impregnable. Willm Prince has not married, is equivalent to the noble Cirilla Princess age, the position is coordinated, appearance also matches, simply is good combination.” 费奥多尔语气一转,“除非两国之间的关系变得更加牢不可破。维尔姆王子尚未婚配,与高贵的希瑞拉公主岁数相当,身份地位对等,外貌也匹配,简直是天作之合。” The name of Ciri like a signal. 希里之名就像一个信号。 The remaining Envoy flashing eyes looked. 剩下的使者目光炯炯地看了过来。 Calanthe husband Eist is old. 卡兰瑟的丈夫伊斯特年事已高。 But Cintra also only acknowledged the male successor, therefore the national power will be lost to the husband hand of Little Princess Ciri in sooner or later. 而辛特拉又只承认男性继承人,所以国家大权迟早会旁落到小公主希里的丈夫手中。 Many small countries send people to participate in this conference, for the position of Little Princess husband to strive not to have married. 许多小国之所以派人参与这趟会议,都是为了争取尚未婚配的小公主夫婿之位。 „If two your majesty agreed that this wedding, Meve your majesty decides however will do utmost to dispatch troops to support!” Fyodor bows, lowers the head. “如果两位陛下同意这桩婚事,米薇陛下定然会竭尽全力派兵支持！”费奥多尔躬身,垂头。 Eist held on wife's hand, shakes the head to her, 伊斯特拉住了妻子的手,冲她摇摇头, „Since last year that accident/surprise, I and Calanthe have made the decision, waits for Ciri to be 15, holds to select the son-in-law congress again.” “自从去年那起意外后,我和卡兰瑟已经做出决定,等希里年满十五,再举行择婿大会。” „Now temporarily does not consider.” “现在暂时不作考虑。” This islander king is resolute, the strong common pupil sweeps slowly has presented all ambassadors, is over half to lower the head. 这位岛民国王语气坚定,铁铸一般的眸子徐徐扫过在场所有大使,超过一半都垂下了头。 In the conference room had the sadness of moment. 会议室里有了片刻的沉闷。 Afterward, Eist also inquired Sodden and Brugge one by one... and so on views of small country. 随后,伊斯特又逐个询问了索登、布鲁格…等等小国的看法。 Attains the reply to be ambiguous, does not reject, does not accept, could not count on any case. 所获回答均模棱两可,既不拒绝,也不接受,反正是指望不上。 Some people claimed that south whether invades to still do not know. 有些人声称南方是否入侵犹未可知。 If Nilfgaard the northing, its army must first after the Cintra south-east Marnadal mountain valley, Cintra if repels to invade one's territory the army then not to need what alliance in the mountain valley. 尼弗迦德若要北进,其军队必先经过辛特拉东南边的玛那达山谷,辛特拉若是在山谷中击退来犯大军便不需要什么联盟。 If not beat their kings to dispatch troops again! 若是不敌他们的国王再派兵！ The Calanthe heart sneers, without a doubt, Cintra defeats, they will only pretend non-involvement the relations, indifferent, no matter what it perishes. 卡兰瑟不由心头冷笑,毫无疑问,辛特拉战败,他们只会撇清关系,冷眼任其灭亡。 Regardless how two Cintra Ruler relate with keen sorrow the stake. 然而无论两位辛特拉统治者如何痛陈利害关系。 Presenting all in average is one set of deceiving excuse. 在座所有人均是一套糊弄的说辞。 Calanthe even can conclude, their return trip the sincerity will not convince the king from now on. Air/Qi the pain, the heart curses, 卡兰瑟甚至敢断定,他们返程过后绝不会真心地说服国王。不禁为之气苦,心头大骂, „One flock of supercilious look wolves! Not sense of shame, enjoyed Cintra two months of warm hospitality, received many advantage, the least bit strength!” “一群白眼狼！毫无羞耻之心,享受了辛特拉两个月的盛情款待,收了不少好处,半点力也不出！” The Eist eye pupil shifts to long table finally that Toussaint Raymond Archduke, a black hair, stature is tall and straight, elegant bearing handsome man. 伊斯特眼眸转向长桌最后那一位,陶森特的雷蒙德大公爵,一位黑色头发,身材挺拔,风度翩翩的美男子。 Comes to participate in Ruler of conference only personally. 唯一亲自前来参加会议的统治者。 „Your majesty, please I helpless... Toussaint then belong to Nilfgaard, although is only the nominal relations, but we are impossible to oppose the own suzerain frankly and uprightly.” “陛下,请恕我无能为力…陶森特原本便归属尼弗迦德,虽然只是名义上的关系,但我们不可能光明正大反对自己的宗主国。” „Let alone my wife Henrietta and current emperor have the relativeness...” “何况我的妻子亨利叶塔和现任皇帝还有亲戚关系…” „Raymond, I remembers for a week ago you did not say...” Eist strokes the beard that the chin pricked the hand, on the face has the scowl to appear, „you kept on proclaiming at that time declared, if Nilfgaard invades Cintra, you abandon this Bandit same country immediately! Will not provide any help to them!” “雷蒙德,我记得一周前你可不是这么说的…”伊斯特捋了捋下巴扎手的胡须,脸上已有怒容显现,“你当时口口声声宣称,尼弗迦德若入侵辛特拉,你们立刻背弃这个强盗一样的国家！绝不会向他们提供任何帮助！” „This I am the non- winner...” Raymond complexion rejects calmly, „Toussaint has half to turn over to my wife Henrietta management, after I need to go back with she discussed that can give you to answer.” “这我做不得主…”雷蒙德脸色镇定地拒绝,“陶森特有一半归我的妻子亨利叶塔管理,我需要回去和她商量过后,才能给您答复。” ... … „This is only the excuse.” Calanthe voice cold, her filled with fury, cannot bear this group of capricious politicians finally. “这只是借口罢了。”卡兰瑟话音冷了下去,她满腔怒火,终于受不了这群反复无常的政客。 Her corners of the mouth appear smiling of satire, „, since Raymond so respects your wife, why between the Cintra short two months, looked for more than five lovers?” 她嘴角浮现讽刺的笑,“既然雷蒙德阁下如此敬重你的妻子,为何在辛特拉短短两个月间,就找了不下五个情妇？” „Queen!” On the Raymond handsome fair cheeks flashes through bashful angry red, raises the voice to refute, „a loyalty how you can insult me to the wife!?” “王后陛下！”雷蒙德英俊白皙的脸颊上闪过一丝羞恼的红色,抬高嗓音反驳,“您怎能侮辱我对妻子的一片忠心！？” „With does not need to help you look that five lovers, making you bring back to Toussaint, enjoys the happiness of having two wives?” “用不用帮你把那五个情妇找出来,让你带回陶森特,享受齐人之福？” The Raymond whole piece face rose the liver colored, glanced right and left embarrassed, a surroundings both eye as if took the meaning of teasing, seemed exposed his scandal —— a unfaithful/stamen pretty boy who had the wife soft food is not disloyal goes off track! 雷蒙德整张脸涨成了猪肝色,窘迫地左顾右盼,周围一双双眼睛仿佛都带上了调侃之意,好似揭破了他的丑事——一个吃着妻子软饭却又不忠出轨的花心小白脸！ „I, Toussaint Raymond, had the request by my honor and position,” he set out suddenly, the brown eye pupil flashed through becoming angry out of shame crazy, he shouted, „I must come the field fair and impartial duel with your husband!” “我,陶森特的雷蒙德,以我的荣誉和地位提出请求,”他霍然起身,褐色眼眸闪过一丝恼羞成怒的疯狂,他大喊,“我要和您的丈夫来场公平公正的决斗！” Clamored in the guest erupts, some people stared at Raymond to disdain to shake the head, some people are sighing, some people whispered excitedly, thrash the desktop. 一阵喧哗在来宾中爆发,有些人盯着雷蒙德不屑摇头,有些人在叹息,有些人兴奋地交头接耳,捶打桌面。 In the Cintra imperial palace, the Grand Dukes in famous foreign land proposed the duel to its king unexpectedly. 在辛特拉皇宫之中,居然有名异国的大公向它的国王提出决斗。 Was this Raymond wild with rage? 这个雷蒙德气疯了吧？ On faces brings taking pleasure in others' misfortunes. 一张张脸上带着幸灾乐祸。 They start to guess that this fellow can also live for several days. 他们开始猜测这家伙还能活几天。 „Haven't I misunderstood?” Eist stands up, under the cloak the tall and strong body in a headman stands, but the black bear, body superb two meters, the rock muscle almost must support high the clothes blows up. “我没听错？”伊斯特站起身,披风下魁梧的身躯就在一头人立而起的狗熊,身高超过了两米,岩石般的肌肉几乎要把衣服撑得高高鼓起。 He overlooks exhaltedly, the vicious vision like the beast of prey that selecting the person bites. 他居高临下地俯视,凶狠的目光如同择人而噬的猛兽。 But handsome Grand Duke Raymond seems a weak chicken before him. 而英俊的雷蒙德大公在他面前好似一只弱鸡。 „Raymond can, with my duel?” “雷蒙德阁下,要和我决斗？” „Please listen to me to explain, I will send out my hand/subordinate strongest Knight, with your Knight duel!” Raymond straightened one's neck saying that „you, if lost, then Calanthe your majesty to I apologize!” “请听我解释,我会派出我手下最强的骑士,与您的骑士决斗！”雷蒙德梗着脖子说,“您要是输了,那么卡兰瑟陛下向我道歉！” „everyone status honored ambassador, makes a testimony for us.” He looks all around, the bright sound said, „makes splendid battle be the conference marks the period.
