嗒嗒嗒……
The crystalshoesstep on the sound of floorto approachtowardColin, the marvelousrhythmstrikesinhisheart, makinghimturn head, the master who has a look atthissound is actually.
水晶鞋踩着地板的声音向着柯林靠近,奇妙的韵律敲打在他的心头,让他不禁回过头来,看看这个声音的主人究竟是谁。Then, hesawwith a smiletowardEmpress Midella that oneselfwalk.
然后,他就看到了正笑吟吟向着自己走来的弥黛拉皇后。„Can ViscountAngelie, altogetherdancefortunately a Qumewithyou?”
“安格列子爵,能有幸与你共舞一曲么?”Is facingthisbeautifulempress'sinvitation, inColinheart the policetrillionis big.
面对着这位美艳皇后的邀请,柯林心中却警兆大起。Thiswomanfeared that mustdo the matter!
这女人怕是要搞事情!„Canwithyouraltogetherdancebemybeing honored, but, is sorry the empressvery much, Ihad just invitedQueenAisha......”
“能与您共舞是我的荣幸,但是,很抱歉皇后殿下,我刚刚已经邀请了艾莎女王……”WhoknowsEmpress Midellaactuallydoes not seem to plan that thiseasilylets offColin, butturns toQueenAishadirectly, askedwith a smile:
谁知弥黛拉皇后却似乎不打算这样轻易放过柯林,而是直接转向艾莎女王,笑着问道:„Queen, does not know whether to borrowmea whileViscountAngelie?”
“女王陛下,不知能否将安格列子爵借我一会儿?”„Naturally.”QueenAishahas to saywith a smile,simultaneouslyflingstoColinseeks the fortunatelook.
“当然。”艾莎女王只好笑着应道,同时甩给柯林一个自求多福的眼神。
When Clintonspeechless, hasto hold the white hands of Empress Midella, walked into the dance floor of hall.
柯林顿时一阵无语,只好托着弥黛拉皇后的玉手,走入了大厅的舞池。Melodiousharpalong withlivelybagpipe, performancegracefulmovingmusic movement.
悠扬的竖琴伴随着轻快的风笛,演奏出优雅动人的乐章。Colinstands firmin the dance floorcenter, stares at the eye of Empress Midella, the right handholdsherbright and cleanback, hauls in herowncrook of the elbow.
柯林在舞池中央站定,凝视着弥黛拉皇后的眼睛,右手扶上她光洁的后背,将她拉进自己的臂弯中。On the Empress Midellabeautifulfaceis hanging the charmingsmile, narrows the eyeslightly, whateverColinguidesto completedance steps.弥黛拉皇后绝美的脸庞上挂着迷人的笑容,微微眯上眼睛,任由柯林引导着自己完成着一个又一个舞步。In the musical sound, ColinandEmpress Midelladisplayed the astonishingtacit understanding, as ifknowned one another wellmanyyears of dance partner, deducted the pinnacleexquisite of palacedance, pleasant.
音乐声中,柯林与弥黛拉皇后表现出了惊人的默契,仿佛相知多年的舞伴,将宫廷舞的优美演绎到了极致,令人赏心悦目。In the peopleappreciatein the vision that acclaimed, Empress Midellasuddenlysmallsound said: „ViscountAngelie, thankyoutoHarrison'sguidance.”
就在众人欣赏赞叹的目光中,弥黛拉皇后忽然小声道:“安格列子爵,感谢您对哈里森的教导。”„Youwere too polite, Empress, thisisIshoulddo.”Colinreturnsneither arrogant nor servilesaid.
“您太客气了,皇后殿下,这是我应该做的。”柯林不卑不亢地回道。
Before presentColinis not, thathad no rightwithoutBaron'sson who the potential, can only drift with the current, byinfluence that hecontrolsnow, even iffacingempireempress, does not needto act servilelytrembling.
现在的柯林可不是之前那个无权无势、只能随波逐流的男爵之子了,以他现在所掌控的势力,哪怕面对帝国皇后,也没必要卑躬屈膝、战战兢兢。Let alone, thismatteris the empressfirstshoulders, Colinmustgive the warningandcounterattack, otherwise, the opposite partywill definitely also try the chartto bribeis regarded as the halfelfkingdom of something for one's own exclusive usebyColin.
更何况,这件事本身就是皇后首先挑起的,柯林必须给予警告和还击,否则,对方肯定还会试图染指已经被柯林视为禁脔的半精灵王国。HearsColinto reply,Empress Midellahas not only been angry, insteadbloomed the perfectsmile.
听到柯林回答,弥黛拉皇后不仅没生气,反而绽放了完美的笑颜。Thisflash, the empressrevealedthatthrillingseduction that making the aristocratyouth in halllookdumbfoundedly, the one's heart rushes toward one's destination, wishes one couldto replaceViscountAngelie, altogetherdanceswith the empress.
这一瞬间,皇后显露出来的那种动人心魄的诱惑,让大厅中的贵族青年们看得目瞪口呆,心驰神往,恨不得取代安格列子爵,与皇后殿下共舞一曲。However, Empress Midellaactuallydiscovered, althoughononeselfdance partnerColin'sfaceis hanging the smile, but the lookactuallystillpure brightness, sheeven can also detecthiddenextremelydeepbeing vigilantanddreaded.
不过,弥黛拉皇后却发现,自己舞伴柯林的脸上虽然挂着笑容,但眼神却仍然清明,她甚至还能从中察觉到一丝隐藏极深的警惕和忌惮。„Viscount, Iam notyourenemy.”Empress Midellaopens the mouthto sayagain, „, if before certainthingsmadeyouhave the misunderstandingtome, hopes that thisdancecanmakeyoufeelmyapology.”
“子爵阁下,我不是你的敌人。”弥黛拉皇后再次开口道,“如果之前的某些事情让你对我产生了误解,希望这支舞能让你感受到我的歉意。”„Youspoke discreetly, Empress, Itoyou, only thenrespects, withoutmisunderstanding.”Colinspoke thoughtlessly to say, innermost feelingsunstated criticism-
“您言重了,皇后殿下,我对您只有尊敬,没有误解。”柯林随口应道,内心腹诽-
Do Ihaveam easily swindledso?
我有这么好骗吗?Empress Midellamilk-white bosom, the entireupper partpastedonColin.弥黛拉皇后酥胸一挺,整个上半身都贴到了柯林身上。At this timeamongtwo people the distancehas exceeded the normalball dancingproperlimit.
此时两人之间的距离已经超过了正常交际舞应有的限度。
When Clintonquickly grasps the meaning of something, almostfollowedmistakenly the rhythm, later, heheardsweetheart of Empress Midellasuch asnearoneselfearto whispergenerally:
柯林顿时一个激灵,差点踩错了节奏,随后,他就听到弥黛拉皇后在自己耳边如情人一般低语道:
„ ViscountAngelie, Iam earnest. YoutoHarrison'sguidance, actuallysuitmyintentionvery much.
“安格列子爵,我是认真的。你对哈里森的教导,其实很合我心意。To be honest with you, thatisSt. Lawrence Familycontinues the millenniums the fate, even ifyoudo not teachhim, Iwill still do thatsooner or later.
不瞒你说,那是圣洛伦佐家族延续千年的宿命,就算你不教他,我迟早也会这么做。Therefore, mythanksare sincere.
所以,我的感谢是真挚的。Moreover, all that ifyousaidtoHarrisonarestem from the sincerity, we, actuallynaturalally! ”
而且,如果你对哈里森所说的一切都是出自真心的话,那我们,其实还是天然的盟友呢!”Colincannot bearslightly the leaninghead, looked that cherishedtooneselfEmpress Midella.
柯林忍不住微微偏头,看向了自己怀中的弥黛拉皇后。
A pair of radiantcharmingeyepupilas if there is charm that absorbs the personheart and soul, makingColinalmost unable to bearwallow.
一双璀璨迷人的眼眸仿佛带有摄人心魄的魔力,让柯林差点忍不住沉迷其中。„Empress, Ia littlecannot understandyourmeaning.”
“皇后殿下,我有点听不懂您的意思呢。”SeesColinstillto play the foolintentionally, Empress Midellaeatsto smile.
见柯林还在故意装傻,弥黛拉皇后吃吃地笑了起来。„Colin......”Empress Midellaaspiratessuch asorchidinColinear, the namealsochanges the scorerelative on mother or daughter sideto be intimate, „ actually, the influence of thisalliance, mustfar exceedyourimagination.
“柯林……”弥黛拉皇后在柯林耳边吐气如兰,称呼也变得分外亲昵,“其实,这个联盟的势力,要远远超出你的想象。Thinkswell, whichdaywantsto understand, canlook forme. ”
好好想想吧,哪天想明白了,可以来找我哦。”Colinblinks , to continue to feign.
柯林眨了眨眼,继续装傻充愣。Innermost feelingsagainunstated criticism-
内心再次腹诽-
Do Ihave am so easily swindled? Do the simplehow manywordswantto makemework oneself to deathforyou?
我有那么好骗吗?简单几句话就想让我为你卖命?SeesColinnot to respond to itself, Empress Midellais not discouraged, butsaid with a smileagain: „Asthanks, Ideliveredyou a smallsecretto be good.”
见柯林没有回应自己,弥黛拉皇后也不气馁,而是再次笑道:“作为感谢,我就送你一个小秘密好了。”„Pleasesay.”Colinopened the mouthfinally, wantsto have a look atthisempressalso to playto play tricks.
“您请说。”柯林总算开口了,想看看这位皇后还能耍出什么花样来。„My brotherbestows your the saber, do youknowitsorigin?”
“我哥哥赐给你的那把佩剑,你知道它的来历吗?”„Blade of Judgement ?”InColinheartmoves, the nodsaid,„, has hadsomeunderstanding. It is saiditearliestis the saber of DukeSt. Theon.”
“审判之刃?”柯林心中一动,点头道,“是的,有过一些了解。据说它最早是圣席恩公爵的佩剑。”„ThatSt. Theon Familyis outyoualsoto know?”
“那圣席恩家族的下场你也知道喽?”„Right, heard that had exterminated the clan.”
“对,听说已经被灭族了。”
The smile on Empress Midellaface becomes as deep as a wellsuddenly: „A Saintknightfamily, wherehadcut off the inheritanceeasily.”弥黛拉皇后脸上的笑容忽然变得高深莫测起来:“一个圣骑士家族,哪有这么容易就断绝了传承呢。”„?”Colinbrowselects, notextremelyaccidental/surprised, „do thatyouknowtheirpresentwhereabouts?”
“哦?”柯林眉头一挑,也没有太过意外,“那您知道他们现在的下落?”Empress Midellano longerreplied.弥黛拉皇后却不再回答了。Colinsees that alsodoes not closely examine.
柯林见状,也不追问。He the interest in thisfamily is actually not big, was granted【Blade of Judgement 】, Colinwill not have happening togetherwiththem.
他其实对这个家族的兴趣也不大,要不是被赐予了【审判之刃】,柯林根本就不会跟他们产生交集。Silenta while, Empress Midellasuddenly a direction that looked attoQueenAisha, said with a smile: „Somepeopleare doing everything to youryoungsweetheart.”
沉默了一会儿,弥黛拉皇后忽然偏头看向了艾莎女王的方向,笑道:“有人在向你的小情人献殷勤呢。”Colinlooked, seesQueenAishajustand a young fellowspeaks.
柯林看了过去,就见艾莎女王正和一位男青年说话。Butthatyoung fellow, had just visitedColin'sLawrenceimpressivelyyesterdayUman.
而那位男青年,赫然正是昨天刚刚拜访过柯林的劳伦斯・乌曼。Colinshows a faint smile, denied: „Your highness, youmisunderstoodanything, how the queencanbemysweetheart.”
柯林微微一笑,否认道:“殿下,您是不是误会了什么,女王陛下怎么会是我的情人呢。”Empress Midellasmilescharmingly, obviouslyhas not believedColin'sdenial. Howevershehas not continuedto pesterinthistopic, butthensaid: „Are the Umanfamily'speopleveryrepugnant?”弥黛拉皇后妩媚一笑,显然是没相信柯林的否认。不过她也没有继续在这个话题上纠缠,而是转而道:“乌曼家族的人是不是很讨厌?”„Your highness, myelder sistermarries the Umanfamily.”Colinwill not acknowledgeoneselfdisliketoUmanfamily.
“殿下,我的姐姐就是嫁到了乌曼家族。”柯林可不会承认自己对乌曼家族的厌恶。„Right? Sorry, butIdo not likethem, especiallythatpair of redeye.”Empress Midellaas ifraisedunknowingly, „was like initialSt. Theon Family, looks atpersonto terrify.”
“是吗?抱歉,但我就是不喜欢他们,尤其那双红眼睛。”弥黛拉皇后仿佛不经意间提了一下,“就跟当初的圣席恩家族一样,看得人瘆得慌。”Colinonesuddenly, saidwith amazement: „Is St. Theon Familyalso the redpupil?”
柯林内心一突,惊讶道:“圣席恩家族也是红色瞳孔?”„Yes.”Empress Midellasmilessuddenlyis as deep as a well.
“是啊。”弥黛拉皇后忽然笑得高深莫测。As ifwas hitby a lightning, Colin'sexpressionsolidifiedinstantaneously.
仿佛被一道闪电击中,柯林的表情瞬间凝固了。
The Empress Midellalazysoundconveysagain: „Youknow that CountUmanthatwifefromSuduo Family, howdies?”弥黛拉皇后慵懒的声音再次传来:“你知道乌曼伯爵那位来自苏铎家族的夫人,是怎么死的吗?”„Howdeath?”
“怎么死的?”Empress Midellano longerspoke.弥黛拉皇后却不再说话了。Colinunderstands, the opposite partyis hanginghisappetiteintentionally, it is estimated thatwantshimto jointhatso-called„alliance”.
柯林明白,对方是故意在吊他胃口,估计想要他加入那个所谓的“联盟”。Hewill certainly not be swindled.
他当然不会上当。However, the information that the empressgavea moment agoenoughhas madeColinthink.
不过,刚才皇后给出的信息已经足够让柯林浮想联翩了。Names seem uncontrolledresemble, freelybravesfromhismind.
一个个名字仿佛不受控制似的,不住地从他脑海中冒出来。St. Theon FamilyandSavoiefamilyandUmanfamilyandSuduo Family......圣席恩家族、萨伏依家族、乌曼家族、苏铎家族……CountUmanandMs.Penny, Lawrence, MadameSuduoandVarla......乌曼伯爵、潘妮女士、劳伦斯、苏铎夫人、瓦尔拉……Colinfeltoneselfas ifsaw a clue, connects the beforehandall sorts ofdoubts.
柯林觉得自己仿佛看到了一条线索,将之前的种种疑惑都串联起来。
Under concentrates on, the surroundingallas ifleavehimto go far away.
全神贯注之下,周围的一切仿佛都离他远去。
The harpjumps out of the lastnote.
不知不觉间,竖琴跳出最后一个音符。
, Colinsamestopped the dance steplike the puppetfinally.
一曲终了,柯林如木偶一样停下了舞步。Butimmediately, hefeelson the foot a pain.
但随即,他就感到脚上一痛。Lowers the headlooked,sawEmpress Midellato step onunrestrained/no trace of politenessonhisfoot, but alsomade an effortto grind, was angry saying:
低头一看,就见弥黛拉皇后毫不客气地踩在了他的脚上,还使劲碾了一下,嗔道:„Danceswithmeis distractedunexpectedly, ViscountAngelie, youwere too disrespectful!”
“跟我跳舞竟然走神,安格列子爵,您太失礼了!”Colinpainmustlook fierce, apologizedto the empresshastily, thenreturned to the ringsideher.
柯林痛得龇牙咧嘴,连忙向皇后道歉,然后将她送回场边。Hewelcomedwith a face all smilestoAishaQueenViscountLawrence:
紧接着,他就笑容满面地迎向了艾莎女王身旁的劳伦斯子爵:„ViscountLawrence, wemet!”
“劳伦斯子爵阁下,我们又见面了!”
