“王子殿下,尊贵的客人就在里面。”„Un, don't youhaveto disturbrashly?”
“恩,你们没有贸然打扰吧?”„No.”
“没有。”„Good, youfirstget down.”
“好,你们先下去吧。”„Yes.”
“是。”
After the guardsleave, Prince Williamput in order the collar, goes forwardto knock on a door.
等侍卫们离开后,威廉王子整了整衣领,上前敲门。„Thump thump thump.”
“咚咚咚。”
The dooropens, Prince Williamshows the smile that gracefullyandflatteredimmediately.
房门打开,威廉王子立刻露出一个优雅而略带一丝谄媚的笑容。Buthas not waited forhimto open the mouthto doto introduce oneself, Annabeckons saying: „Comes.”
但还没等他开口做自我介绍,安娜就招手道:“进来吧。”Prince Williamunderstandsimmediately,perhapsoneselfsubordinatehad been discoveredby the opposite party, thereforeenters the roomhastily.
威廉王子立刻明白,自己的手下恐怕早就已经被对方发现了,于是连忙走进屋去。„RespectableCount Ivan, MissAnna, pleaseforgivemytaking the libertyvisit......”
“尊敬的埃文伯爵,安娜小姐,请原谅我的冒昧来访……”Count Ivanhas not set out, referred tofrontchairsay/waymerely: „Sits.”埃文伯爵没有起身,仅仅指了指面前的椅子道:“坐。”Prince Williamsathastily, as iffacing the cleverstudent of teacher.
威廉王子连忙坐了过去,仿佛一个面对老师的乖学生。Then, the champagne that hewill bringplaceson the table: „CountSir, thisis the superiornice wine that the Medwinfamilyrestaurantproduces, hopes that cansuityourtaste.”
然后,他将带来的香槟放在桌上:“伯爵大人,这是墨狄温家族酒庄出产的上等好酒,希望能合您的口味。”Count Ivaneyeonebright, thisshowssomehappy expressions: „Is liquorgood, musttasteknows!, Tastestogether.”埃文伯爵眼睛一亮,这才露出些笑意:“酒好不好,要尝一尝才知道!来来来,一起尝尝。”Saying, thentakes the wine glassimmediately.
说着,便立刻去拿酒杯。Prince Williamdecappedrapidly, pouredthreecups.
威廉王子迅速开瓶,倒了三杯。Count Ivancarries the stem glass, the stancerocksgracefullyseveral, thenputsunder the noseto smellonelightly, on the faceappearsimmediately the color of enjoyment.埃文伯爵端起高脚杯,姿态优雅地晃动几下,然后放到鼻下轻嗅一口,脸上顿时浮现出享受之色。to praisesighed: „Trulynice wine!”
赞叹道:“确实好酒!”WilliamWang Zimianreveals the smug look: „CanmakeCountSirlike, isourbeing honored!”
威廉王子面露得色:“能让伯爵大人喜欢,是我们的荣幸!”Count Ivansmiles, sipsonelightly, is savoringcarefully.埃文伯爵笑了笑,轻抿一口,细细品味着。In the roomis peacefultemporarily.
房间中暂时安静下来。Prince Williamdoes not dareto disturbCount Ivanto taste, butanother sideAnnahas drunk uponecupfast, the correct usecuriousvisionis taking a look athalfelfprince.
威廉王子不敢打扰埃文伯爵品酒,而另一边的安娜已经快速喝完一杯,正用好奇的目光打量着半精灵王子。
When the vision that inPrince Williamwas carefully examinedbyAnnalooksis restless, Count Ivanas iffinallyappraises, opens the mouthto saywith a smile:
就在威廉王子被安娜审视的目光看得坐立不安之际,埃文伯爵似乎终于品鉴完毕,笑着开口道:„Does Prince William, whatmatter your timecometo have?”
“威廉王子,您这次上门是有什么事么?”InPrince Williamheartunstated criticism- shouldn'tbeyoulooksour? Howalsoto ask that Ihave anything......
威廉王子心中腹诽-不应该是你们来找我们的吗?怎么还问我有什么事……Buthealso can only think,definitelydoes not dareto saylike this.
但他也只敢想想,肯定不敢这样说。„Isthis, myguardhand/subordinatediscovered that twohonoredguestscome from far away, thereforeas the master of silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, naturallyshouldentertainwell.”
“是这样的,我手下的侍卫发现两位尊贵的客人远道而来,所以作为银月城的主人,自然应该好好招待一下。”„? Toentertainusmerely?”Count Ivansomewhatsmilesponders, „Ialsothink that youcomefor the matter of northernboundarymarrying off a daughter?”
“哦?仅仅是为了招待一下我们?”埃文伯爵笑得有些玩味,“我还以为你是为了北境嫁女之事而来的呢?”Prince Williamobstructsimmediately, was not pressed the speechway that the repertoireplays a cardto stop up the complexionto become flushedbyCount Ivanthis.
威廉王子顿时一窒,被埃文伯爵这不按套路出牌的说话方式堵得脸色涨红。Sees the performance of Prince William, Count Ivanthenknows,thisfellowalso is really an honest and good-natured person, thenno longerteaseshim, thensaidearnestly:
看到威廉王子的表现,埃文伯爵便知道,这个家伙还真的是个老实人,便不再逗他,转而认真道:„Prince William, PrinceToupetaskedto marryMissVerathismatter, shouldnot beyour fatherarranges?”
“威廉王子,图佩王子求娶薇拉小姐这件事,应该不是您父亲安排的吧?”„Of course not! ThatisToupetis young and impetuous, independently decides.”Prince Williamansweredhastily, „hopes that youcanunderstand, thereforedo not blame the Medwinfamily! However...... things have gotten to this point, the father is also very difficultto do. Rejects the words of thisweddingdirectly, perhapswill offendDukeSt. Hilde.”
“当然不是!那都是图佩年轻气盛,自作主张。”威廉王子连忙解释道,“希望您能理解,不要因此怪罪墨狄温家族!不过……事已至此,父亲也很难做。直接拒绝这段婚事的话,恐怕会得罪圣希尔德公爵。”„Butthismattermakesmy fatherbe angryvery much!”Count Ivanshakes the headto say.
“但是这件事让我的父亲很生气啊!”埃文伯爵摇头道。Prince Williamsaidimmediatelyuneasy: „AlsoaskedCountSirto be ablebeforeDukeSt. Plossito helpusexplain......”
威廉王子顿时惴惴不安地说道:“还请伯爵大人能在圣普洛斯公爵面前帮我们解释一下……”„Iam also angryvery much!”Count Ivansaidpretentiously, „ yourMedwinfamilyalwaysdoes not flaunt the neutrality? Howthistimeto dareto marrywith the northernboundary? Duke'sdaughter who marries?
“我也很生气呀!”埃文伯爵装模作样地说道,“你们墨狄温家族不是一向标榜中立的吗?怎么这次竟敢跟北境联姻?还是娶的公爵之女?Pinches tightly the chip in hand? Hehe, your wasbetsdirectly! ”
捏紧手中的筹码?呵呵,你们这是直接下注了呀!”„I...... I......”Prince Williamfor a whileunexpectedlyslowspeechless.
“我……我……”威廉王子一时竟呐呐无言。„Youshouldnot wantto seeownyounger brothermarriesVera, thus the support of acquirednorthernboundaryduke?”
“你应该也不想看到自己弟弟娶到薇拉,从而获得北境公爵的支持吧?”„When...... naturallydoes not hope.”Prince Williamsaidhonestly.
“当……当然不希望。”威廉王子老老实实地说道。„Ihave means that couldhelpyoudestroythismarriage.”
“我有一个办法,或许可以帮你破坏这桩婚姻。”Prince Williameyesonebright, askedhastily: „Pleasesay!”
威廉王子眼睛一亮,连忙问道:“您请说!”„Refusesthisweddingto be certainly improperdirectly, but ifMissVera the fame and integrityhasdirty, yourMedwinfamilytomaintain the face countenance of halfelfroyal family, naturallyhad the appropriateexcuseto cancelthiswedding.”
“直接拒绝这桩婚事当然不妥,但如果薇拉小姐名节有污,那你们墨狄温家族为了维护半精灵王室的颜面,自然就有了合适的借口取消这桩婚礼了。”„Does fame and integrityhavedirty?”
“名节有污?”„Right.”Count Ivantooneselfonecup of champagne, swayedthensaid,„youhave understood the northernboundarybeforehandchaotic situation?”
“对。”埃文伯爵又给自己倒了一杯香槟,边摇晃便说道,“你了解过北境之前的乱局没?”„Has understoodsome......”
“了解过一些……”„Youshouldknow,rides the armyblackplays the decisiverole. However, fromto seal/conferbestows the result, actuallyrides the military physical cultureafterwardblackisbesideperson, the profitis many!”
“那你应该知道,黑骑军在其中起到了决定性的作用。但是,从事后封赏的结果来看,却有一位黑骑军体系之外的人,获利颇丰!”Prince Williamthinks of a personimmediately: „Youmeant, the accompanying the bride to her new homeenvoy of thisnorthboundary- ViscountAngelie?”
威廉王子立刻想到了一个人:“您是说,这次北境的送亲使者-安格列子爵?”
„ Right!
“没错!
Aren't youcurious? ThisonceBaron'sson, howwill receiveDukeSt. Hilderecognitionsuddenly, was not only promotedas the viscount, even/includingShoufeng the territorycompares the commonviscountto be much bigger.
你难道不好奇吗?这位曾经的男爵之子,怎么会突然受到圣希尔德公爵的赏识,不仅被晋升为子爵,连受封的领地都比一般的子爵大得多。Moreover, it is saidDukeSt. Hildeevenalso【Blade of Judgement 】Grantedtohim! ”
而且,据说圣希尔德公爵甚至还将【审判之刃】赏赐给了他!”Prince Williamnodsagain and again: „Veryis truly strange!”
威廉王子连连点头:“确实很奇怪!”Count Ivanputs down the wine glass, saidwith the mysterioustone: „According tomesaid the understanding, thisViscountAngelieoncemetVera who returnsfrom the easternboundaryin the chaoticsoldier, two peopleaccompanyto escape, the communicationis very intimate.”埃文伯爵放下酒杯,用神秘兮兮的语气说道:“据我说了解,这位安格列子爵曾在乱兵之中遇见了从东境归来的薇拉,两人一路相伴逃亡,来往很是亲密。”„Right!”Prince Williamalsothought ofanything, addedhastily, „initiallyat the banquet of lionroarfort, ViscountAngeliealsooncestrove formarryingMissVerato the northernboundaryduke, but the dukechoseVerafinallymarriedToupet.”
“没错!”威廉王子也想到了什么,连忙补充道,“当初在狮吼堡的宴会上,安格列子爵也曾向北境公爵求娶薇拉小姐,只是公爵最后选择将薇拉嫁给了图佩。”Count Ivanhit a soundto refer, saidassuredly: „Therefore, Icanaffirm,thisViscountAngelieisVera'sbelovedperson, thusis recognized byduke. Perhapsafterwardhad/leftsomeaccidents, the dukechanges the ideatemporarily, marriedhalfelfkingdomVera.”埃文伯爵打了个响指,笃定道:“所以,我敢肯定,这位安格列子爵才是薇拉的心爱之人,因而才得到公爵的赏识。只是后来恐怕是出了些变故,公爵临时改变了想法,才将薇拉嫁到了半精灵王国。”„Yourmeaningis......”
“那您的意思是……”„Thisand otherhappyandregrettablelove stories, is not just peoplelikes? So long as before yousend forViscountAngelieandMissVeraall sorts ofpassingcompilesslightly, fills indirects the persondaydream the fragment, letsrecitePoetroamingto singonein the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gateagain......”
“这等美好而又遗憾的爱情故事,不正是人们喜欢的吗?您只要派人将安格列子爵和薇拉小姐之前的种种过往稍加编纂,填些引人遐想的片段,再让吟游诗人在银月城传唱一番……”„Wonderful!”Prince Williamhearsto nodagain and again, as ifobtained any peerlessingenious plan, expresses one's thanksunceasingly.
“妙啊!”威廉王子听得连连点头,仿佛得到了什么绝世妙计,不断称谢。Annahearsto frownin the one side, shedoes not haveto thinkownElder Brothergivessuch a stupid ideaunexpectedly.
安娜在一旁听得直皱眉头,她没想到自己哥哥竟然给出这样一个馊主意。ButthisPrince Williamdoes not know that isreallysilly, actuallyalsothought that thisis an ingenious plan.
而这位威廉王子也不知道是不是真傻,竟然还觉得这是个妙计。Count Ivanas ifcannot bearnobrain of Prince Williamto flatter, withoutsayingseveralsenthim.埃文伯爵似乎也受不了威廉王子的无脑吹捧,没说几句就将他打发走了。Closes the door, a AnnathenfacedisdainlookstoownElder Brother: „Is thisyouringenious plan? Reallyissome......”
关上门,安娜回头一脸不屑地看向自己哥哥:“这就是你的妙计?实在是有些……”„Underhanded? Vulgar? Thoughtradicallyisunproductive?”Count Ivandoes not care aboutyounger sister'svisionactually, onbut actuallyoneglass of liquortooneself, carefultaste.
“下作?低俗?还是觉得根本就是徒劳?”埃文伯爵倒是不在意妹妹的眼光,又给自己倒上一杯酒,细细品味。Annacurls the lip, the doubtssaid: „Youdid not say that beforeDukeSt. Hildehasmethod that mustwin? Even if your strategyreallykeepsVerafrommarryingintohalfelfroyal family, is useful?”
安娜撇了撇嘴,疑惑道:“你之前不是说圣希尔德公爵有必胜的方法吗?就算你这个计策真的让薇拉无法嫁入半精灵王室,又有什么用呢?”Count Ivantwoone: „ Imustmakeanything, otherwise after going back, has no wayto report on accomplishments.埃文伯爵两手一摊:“我总得做点什么,不然回去之后没法交差呀。Alsotestsourally and opponentwhile convenientiswhatlevels.
顺便也试探一下我们的盟友和对手都是什么水平。
The opponentanythinglevelhas not knownat present, butally...... yeah, it seems likereallysomewhatstupid.
对手什么水平目前还不知道,但盟友......哎,看来真的有些蠢。Ibelieve firmlynow,northernboundarytimewasto win. ”
我现在更加确信,北境这一次是赢定了。”„ThereforeyougivePrince Williamto offerthatstupid idea, toreport on accomplishmentsto the father?”
“所以你给威廉王子出那种馊主意,就是为了向父亲交差?”„Otherwise?”Count Ivanshrugs, „ DukeSt. Hildemustkill the daughter, do we have the meansto prevent?
“不然呢?”埃文伯爵耸了耸肩,“圣希尔德公爵要杀自己女儿,难道我们还有办法阻止?PerhapsthatViscountAngelieis the person who north the boundarydukesendsto carry outthistask.
说不定那位安格列子爵就是北境公爵派来执行这个任务的人。Hehe, is really interesting!
嘿嘿,真有意思!Lovehates the rival in love, ifcancreate the story, deciding to sing the entiremainland! ”
这其中的爱恨情仇要是能编成故事,定能传唱整个大陆!”Annastaredin a big way the eye: „Is ViscountAngeliereally willingto killownbelovedperson?”
安娜瞪大了眼睛:“那安格列子爵就真的愿意杀害自己的心爱之人?”„Whyno? IfIhe, faithfullywill carry outduke'sorder, perhaps after going back, canpromote the Count, haha.”
“为什么不呢?我要是他,就会忠实地执行公爵的命令,说不定回去之后就能晋升伯爵了,哈哈。”„Elder Brother!”Annawins the wine glass in Count Ivanhand, reprimandinghad said,„youcannotalwaysguess everyone withthisgloomypsychology!”
“哥哥!”安娜一把夺过埃文伯爵手中的酒杯,斥责道,“你不能总用这种阴暗的心理去揣测每一个人!”Count Ivanshakes the headreluctantly, sighs:埃文伯爵无奈地摇了摇头,叹息道:„Sillyyounger sister, thisworldimagines you are much gloomier than......”
“傻妹妹,这个世界比你想象地还要阴暗得多……”
