„DukeSir, is very regrettable. MarquisAdams...... has returned to the Lordbosom......”
“公爵大人,很遗憾。亚当斯侯爵……已经回归主的怀抱……”BigBishopthese wordsfall to the ground, the atmosphere of entireconference sitedrops to the freezing pointimmediately.
大主教的这句话一落地,整个会场的气氛立刻降至冰点。
The peoplecannot evenbelievesuddenly-
众人一时间甚至都不敢相信-
Did marquisAdamsdie?
亚当斯侯爵就这么死了?
Did the second son of DukeSt. Hilde, the firstsuccessor of lord of northernboundary, die?圣希尔德公爵的次子,北境之主的第一继承人,就这么死了?Alsodiedat the banquet in oneselfcastle!
还死在了自家城堡中的宴会上!This was also too absurd!
这也太荒谬了吧!However, the realityoftenissuchincredible.
然而,现实往往就是这么荒诞。Aristocratsstaredin a big way the eye, covered the mouth, the frightenedwhoadoes not dareto send, for fear thatstimulatedDukeSt. Hilde.
一众贵族们瞪大了眼睛,捂住了嘴巴,连恐惧的惊叹声都不敢发出来,生怕刺激到了圣希尔德公爵。This timedukeis staring at the crystalmagichanging lamp on ceilingto be lost in thought that seemed just announced the deathbybigBishop, is nothis son, butis an irrelevantpasser-by.
此时的公爵正盯着天花板上的水晶魔法吊灯怔怔出神,仿佛刚刚被大主教宣布死亡的,不是他的儿子,而是一个毫不相关的路人。How longalsohas not known.
也不知过了多久。Finally a soundbrokethissuffocatingpeace.
终于一个声音打破了这份令人窒息的宁静。„BigBishop, how does Adamsdie?”
“大主教,亚当斯是怎么死的?”ThisisEmpress Midellais asking.
这是弥黛拉皇后在发问。„Empress, nowIhave not been ableto determine the cause of death that completelymarquis, needs the furtherautopsy to draw the conclusion. Butaccording tomyexperiencejudged, the marquisshouldbe the poisonperishes.”
“皇后殿下,现在我还不能完全确定侯爵的死因,需要进一步的验尸才能得出结论。但根据我的经验判断,侯爵应该是中毒而亡。”
The empressturns the headto lookimmediatelytobehindknight, the ordersaid: „Tonightallaides who preparefoodarrestcompletely, 11interrogations!”
皇后立刻转头看向身后的骑士,命令道:“将今晚所有准备食物的侍从全部逮捕,一一审问!”„Yes!”
“是!”After a slightunrest, allaideson the scenewere grasped.
一阵轻微的骚乱过后,在场的所有侍从都被抓了起来。
The St. Hildefamily'sseniorstewardsare no exception.
就连圣希尔德家族的老管家都不例外。
The solemndukesecond son, is poisonedto perishat the banquet in hiscastleunexpectedly, thissimplyis the great shame!
堂堂公爵次子,竟然在自家城堡中的宴会上中毒而亡,这简直是奇耻大辱!Especiallybutthissecond sonnownorth the firstpositionsuccessor of boundaryduke.
尤其这位次子现在可是北境公爵的第一顺位继承人。Insuchsituation, even ifDukeSt. Hildestillkeeps silent, but the peoplehave actually foreseen the cominglandslidetsunami.
这样的情况下,哪怕圣希尔德公爵依然默不作声,但众人却都已经预见到了即将来临的山崩海啸。Whono matter the murdereris, the dukeswill not give up!
不管凶手是谁,公爵都不会善罢甘休!Colinlooks that lies downinmarquisAdams who the groundappearancebleeds profusely from the headfiercely, has a look atthatstillto raise headto appreciateDukeSt. Hilde of crystal chandelier, finallywill look atMarquis Garcia that will not say a wordsimilarly, in the heartwill be even more heavy.
柯林看着躺在地上面目狰狞七窍流血的亚当斯侯爵,又看看那位依然仰头欣赏水晶吊灯的圣希尔德公爵,最后将目光转向同样一言不发的加西亚侯爵,心中愈发沉重起来。Yes, at this time the Colin'sfirstsuspect, isMarquis Garcia.
是的,此时柯林的第一怀疑对象,就是加西亚侯爵。Becausehismotive was too big.
因为他的作案动机实在太大了。Charleshad been deprived the right of inheritance, nowAdamsdies.
查尔斯已经被剥夺了继承权,现在亚当斯又死了。Ifthen, duke'syoungest sonJoyceencounters the misfortuneagain, how could it not be did Verabecome the firstpositionsuccessor of northernboundaryduke?
那么,如果公爵的小儿子乔伊斯再遭遇不幸,薇拉岂不就成了北境公爵的第一顺位继承人了?
Is thisMarquis Garciaabandons the counter-attack of promiseregardingownElder Brother?
难道,这就是加西亚侯爵对于自己哥哥背弃诺言的反击?
......
只是……Although the rationalitydeduces the general, Marquis Garciais the biggest suspect, butColinalwaysthought that thisdoes not seem like the Marquis Garciawriting skill.
虽然理性推论上将,加西亚侯爵的嫌疑最大,但柯林总觉得这不像是加西亚侯爵的手笔。Becausefrom the beforehandbeing togetherprocess, Colinfound out the disposition of thismarquis- heis not a person who likes the schemes and tricks.
因为从之前的相处过程中,柯林就摸清楚了这位侯爵的脾性-他不是一个喜欢阴谋诡计的人。Intoxicates the method of thislow, Colinthought that Marquis Garciashould unable to do.
下毒这种下三滥的手段,柯林觉得加西亚侯爵应该做不出来。Heratherbelieves that Marquis Garciawill leadto ride the armyto attackWinterfell Cityblack, is not willingto believe that Marquis Garciawill kill by poisonownnephew.
他宁愿相信加西亚侯爵会率领黑骑军攻打凛冬城,也不愿相信加西亚侯爵会毒杀自己的侄子。Is it possible that......
莫非……Somepeoplekill by poisonmarquisAdamsintentionally, toinstigateDukeSt. Hilderelationswith the Marquis Garcia?
有人故意毒死亚当斯侯爵,就是为了挑拨圣希尔德公爵跟加西亚侯爵的关系?After all, Adamsdies, Marquis Garciais the biggest suspect......
毕竟,亚当斯一死,加西亚侯爵的嫌疑最大……
It is not right!
不对!Colinrealizesimmediatelyoneselfactuallyneglected an important factor.
柯林立刻意识到自己其实忽略了一个重要因素。That is, DukeSt. Hildein the pastto the commitment of Marquis Garciawas the secret that an extremelyfewpersonknew.
那就是,圣希尔德公爵当年对加西亚侯爵的承诺是个极少人知道的秘密。Moreover, Marquis GarciaisVerafathermatter, is the secret that an extremelyfewpersonknows!
而且,加西亚侯爵是薇拉生父这件事,也是一个极少人知道的秘密!Therefore, even ifsomepeoplewantto instigate the relations between thesetwobrothers, only ifheknowsthesetwosecretssimultaneously, otherwise, will not adoptthismethodabsolutely.
所以,就算有人想挑拨这两兄弟之间的关系,除非他同时知道这两个秘密,否则,绝对不会采取这种手段。At least, thatGonbenPrincecannot.
至少,那个冈本亲王就不会。Colindoes not believe that thesetwosecretscanbe knownbyhisTroll, thuspointedformulatesthistreacherous plan.
柯林不相信这两个秘密能够被他一个巨魔得知,从而针对性地制定出这个毒计。Let alone, even ifheknewthesetwosecrets, wantto intoxicatetomarquisAdams, is still an extremelydifficultmatter.
更何况,就算他得知了这两个秘密,想要对亚当斯侯爵下毒,也是一件极难的事情。Intoxicatesin the banquet of lionroarfort.
还是在狮吼堡的宴会中下毒。MoreoverisintoxicatestomarquisAdamsaccurate.
而且是精准地对亚当斯侯爵一人下毒。Colincannot think, howheachieves.
柯林想不出来,他是怎么做到的。Butis tryingto studythatKeelementary studentinColin, decodesthismurder casetime, DukeSt. Hildeopened the mouthfinally.
而就在柯林在试图学习那位柯某小学生,来破解这桩杀人案的时候,圣希尔德公爵终于开口了。Hissoundbecomesespeciallyhoarselow and deep, actuallynotextremelyexcited, evensomewere calm.
他的声音变得格外沙哑低沉,却并没有太过激动,甚至都有些过于冷静了。However, everyonelistened to the dukeforcefullydepressingwildness!
但是,所有人都从中听出了公爵强行压抑的狂怒!„GonbenPrince, PrinceToupet, althoughyouwantto get marriedVera, butVerais impossibleto marrytwo peoplesimultaneously. Therefore, I can only selectoneto come outfromyou.”
“冈本亲王,图佩王子,虽然你们都想迎娶薇拉,但薇拉也不可能同时嫁给两人。所以,我只能从你们中挑一位出来。”DukeSt. Hildehas not proposed the death of marquisAdamsunexpectedlyslightlyagain, as ifthatis unimportant.圣希尔德公爵竟然丝毫没有再提亚当斯侯爵的死,仿佛那已经不重要了。Saw onlyhimto standfrom the seat, approachesposition that GonbenandToupetstood.
只见他从座位上站了起来,走近冈本和图佩所站的位置。Body of marquisAdamsbyhisfoot, buthehas not actually lowered the headlooks atoneagain.
亚当斯侯爵的尸体就在他的脚旁,但他却没有低头再看一眼。„GonbenPrince, Iwantto know, ifVerahas not marriedyou, youare also willingwith the northernboundarypeace negotiation?”
“冈本亲王,我想知道,如果薇拉没有嫁给你,你还愿意跟北境议和吗?”
The GonbenPrinceinnermost feelingssink, buthas no alternativesaid: „Naturally, dukeSir! Iamwill not changetopeacefulyearningin any event.”冈本亲王内心一沉,但还是无可奈何地说道:“当然,公爵大人!我对和平的向往是无论如何都不会改变的。”Actuallyhedid not haveotherchoice.
其实他也没有别的选择了。
Can the presentTrollempirealsofight a warwith the northernboundaryagain?
难道现在的巨魔帝国还能再跟北境打一仗吗?So long as the northernboundaryagreesto negotiate peace, hisactuallyanythingconditioncanaccept.
只要北境同意议和,那他其实什么条件都可以接受。„Good.”DukeSt. Hildethengreetedonetoward the crowd, „Nora, youcame.”
“好。”圣希尔德公爵回头朝人群中招呼一声,“娜拉,你过来。”Sees only the smallbeautiful womanhalf step that selectshighto arrive atsideDukeSt. Hilde.
只见一位高挑的小美女快步走到圣希尔德公爵身旁。Althoughshewas inferior that Verais like that beautiful, butalso has the beauty.
她虽然不如薇拉那般绝美,但也是颇有姿色。
The small hand who DukeSt. Hildeholds onNora, pusheshimbefore the GonbenPrincebody, said: „ThisismynieceNora, isnobleSt. Hilde, can be joined toyou, GonbenPrince?”圣希尔德公爵拉住娜拉的小手,将他推至冈本亲王身前,说道:“这是我的侄女娜拉,也是一位高贵的圣希尔德,配得上你吗,冈本亲王?”„Naturally! CanmarryMissNora, ismybeing honored!”GonbenPrincetoNoragood a ritual, thenextends the right hand.
“当然!能娶到娜拉小姐,是我的荣幸!”冈本亲王对着娜拉行了一礼,然后伸出右手。Norasomewhatis obviously ignorant.
娜拉显然还有些懵。Shehas not expected, oneselfwere betrothedby the uncleunexpectedlylike thistoTroll!
她怎么也没有料到,自己竟然就这样被伯父许配给了一位巨魔!However, looks atDukeSt. Hildethatwoodenface, Noraactuallycannot rise any thought of resistance.
但是,看着圣希尔德公爵那张毫无表情的脸,娜拉却升不起任何反抗的念头。Therefore, shehanded overinoneselfhand the hand of GonbenPrinceslowly.
于是,她缓缓将自己的手交到了冈本亲王的手中。Hence, on the face of DukeSt. Hildesqueezed out a happy expressionfinally.
至此,圣希尔德公爵的脸上终于挤出了一丝笑意。Heturns aroundimmediately, shoutstoVera: „Vera, youcome.”
他随即转身,又对薇拉喊道:“薇拉,你过来。”Still for ownElder Brotherdies a violent deathsuddenly, butsadsorrowfulVerawas shockedsuddenly, then, withis puzzledandscruple, shearrived atside the dukeslowly.
还在为自己哥哥突然暴毙而伤心悲痛的薇拉突然愣住了,然后,怀着不解和迟疑,她慢慢走到了公爵身边。
The dukeholdsVera'shand, lookstofronthalfelfprince: „PrinceToupet, toldme, youwill treatherwell!”
公爵牵起薇拉的手,看向面前的半精灵王子:“图佩王子,告诉我,你会好好待她!”PrinceToupetgawkedsome little time, is shakenobviouslythoroughlyby the hugepleasant surprise that thisdropped from the clouds!
图佩王子愣了好一会儿,显然是被这从天而降的巨大惊喜给彻底震住了!
After long time, hereddens all over the facegoes forwardonestep, saidexcitedlyloudly: „DukeSir! Iam willingto swear, lifecertainly notlost/carryingVera, otherwise, after thenletsIdiego to hell, forever and everwill withstandendlesssuffering!”
半晌后,他才满脸通红地上前一步,激动地大声道:“公爵大人!我愿立誓,此生绝不负薇拉,否则,便让我死后下地狱,永生永世承受无尽的折磨!”„Father, I......”Verawas also ignorant.
“父亲,我……”薇拉也懵了。Shehas not thought,shewas marriedby the fatherunexpectedlylike this.
她怎么也没想到,自己竟然就这样被父亲嫁了出去。Marriedanotherstate, marriedhernot to seeseveralstrangers.
还是嫁到了另一个国度,嫁给了一个她根本就没见过几面的陌生人。Shejustwantsto work loose the hand of duke, butwas actually shockedsuddenly.
她刚想挣脱公爵的手,但却突然愣住了。Because, shesawvision that the dukecasts.
因为,她看到了公爵投来的目光。Thatisshehas never seen the vision.
那是一种她从未见过的目光。Exhaustedly, disappointedly, angrilyandeven...... isfrightened!
疲惫、失望、愤怒、甚至……是恐惧!At this moment, Verasuddenlydiscovered,oncethatas ifomnipotentfather, thatduke who had absolute power over somebodyin the northernboundary, at this time, is old.
这一刻,薇拉突然发现,曾经那位仿佛无所不能的父亲,那位在北境生杀予夺的公爵,此时,也已经老了。Sheas ifreturned for tenyears ago, the dukewantsto send toYevillestudiesAotechnique the timeher,
恍惚间,她仿佛回到了十年前,公爵想要将她送去耶维尔学习奥术的时候,At that time, sheoncetriedto revolt.
那时候,她曾试图反抗过。However, the dukemadeherkneel for one day and one night beforefamily's12Saintknightsculpture, finallytoldher-
但是,公爵让她在家族的十二位圣骑士雕塑前跪了一天一夜,最后告诉她-YouareSt. Hilde, when the glory in enjoyingthissurnamerepresentative, don't the heavy burden that forgetsit to shoulder!
你是一位圣希尔德,在享受这个姓氏所代表的荣耀时,也别忘了它所需背负的重担!At this moment, facedsimilarscene, the words of rejectionwas just arriving at the mouth, butVeraactuallysaid.
此时此刻,面对着类似的情景,拒绝的话语刚到嘴边,但薇拉却说不出口了。Mustlook at the duketo holdownhandhelplessly, walkstowardPrinceToupetslowly.
只得眼睁睁地看着公爵牵着自己的手,缓缓向图佩王子走去。But in Vera'ssmall handwill soon fall intoPrinceToupetin the hand.
但就在薇拉的小手即将落入图佩王子手中时。
A soundresoundstowering:
一个声音突兀地响起:„DukeSir, Iopposesthiswedding!”
“公爵大人,我反对这桩婚事!”
