与一般的贵族城堡不同,这座城堡中并没有精美的花园或是造型别致的建筑,反而在城堡周围的空地上种满了庄稼和果树。Castlewithfirmbutslightlyrusticcalcareous rockconstruction, modelingsimpledoes not have anyunnecessarydecoration, insteadspace utilizationpinnacle.
城堡是用坚固但略显土气的灰岩建造,造型简单没有任何多余的装饰,反而将空间利用到了极致。In the common pursuitgracefulluxuriousaristocrat, advocates the thriftypracticalUmanfamily is actually different kind.
在普遍追求优雅奢华的贵族中,崇尚节俭实用的乌曼家族其实是一个异类。Thisatmospherewas the past yearsgets married that civiliansixstepsoldiers of femaleCountto lead into the Umanfamilyit is said that butwas since actually inherited very well.
这种风气据说是当年迎娶了女伯爵的那位平民六阶战士带入乌曼家族的,但却被很好地传承至今。Thisgeneration of CountUmanespeciallyapprovesthistradition, is not ashamed, insteadoncedeclaredproudly-
这一代的乌曼伯爵尤为认同这个传统,不以为耻,反而曾骄傲地宣称-„Whenyouhave a higherspiritual pursuit, enjoyment on materialwas not then worth mentioning.”
“当你拥有更高的精神追求时,物质上的享受便不值一提了。”However, thisCountUmanalsohas no attainmentsin the artprobably, therefore, does not know the spiritual pursuit that hesaidrefers toanything.
不过,这位乌曼伯爵在艺术上好像也没有什么造诣,所以,就是不知道他所说的精神追求到底指的是什么。At dusk, a teamentersin the castleslowly.
傍晚时分,一支队伍缓缓进入城堡中。
The Umanfamily'sguardshave not gone forwardto stop, buthas not goneto greet.乌曼家族的侍卫们并没有上前阻拦,但也没有前去迎接。Becausetheyknow,thisis the Illegitimate childVarla ofCount the knightcame back.
因为他们知道,这是伯爵的私生子-瓦尔拉骑士回来了。
The Varlaknight seems to have also been used toguardsthisindifferentattitude, after entering the castle, heldKaitlinto get down the carriage.瓦尔拉骑士似乎也已经习惯了侍卫们这种冷漠的态度,进入城堡后,就扶着凯特琳下了马车。
After Kaitlinreturns to the room, Varlathenturns toward the restaurantto walk.
将凯特琳送回房间后,瓦尔拉便向着餐厅走去。Heknows,at this timeoneselffatherbigprobabilitywas dining.
他知道,这时候自己的父亲大概率是在用餐。
The Umanfamily'straditionis tobeforeSunsetsuses up the dinner, becausethiscansave a candle......乌曼家族的传统,是要在太阳落山前将晚餐用完,因为这样就可以省下一节蜡烛……Really, VarlasawCountUmanin the restaurant, and sweetheart of Count- Ms.Penny.
果然,瓦尔拉在餐厅见到了乌曼伯爵,以及伯爵的情人-潘妮女士。Two peopleare sittingwhen a longtableenjoy the dinner, in the pastVarlasawsuchscene, will always exude the lightwarmthin the heart, feltownfatherto mother was really the love, is willingto let a civilianfemaleunexpectedlyandheshares a table.
两人正坐在一张长桌上享用晚餐,以往瓦尔拉见到这样的场面时,总是会在心底泛起淡淡的温馨,觉得自己父亲对母亲真是宠爱,竟然愿意让一位平民女子与他同桌。Butnow, Varlaactually can only feel the anger of thoroughmarrow.
但现在,瓦尔拉却只能感受到深入骨髓的愤怒。Thatcuckoo that Colinsaidusurps the story of birdhawklairto reappearagainin the Varlaheart, makinghimalmostrude.
柯林说的那个杜鹃鸟强占雀莺巢穴的故事再一次浮现在瓦尔拉心头,让他差点失态。„FatherSir, motherSir!”Depresses the innermost feelingsforcefully the anger, the Varlacomplexionsalutes the regardsto sayas usual.
“父亲大人,母亲大人!”强行压下内心的愤怒,瓦尔拉面色如常地行礼问候道。At this timeCountUmanhas dined, nearbyaidegoes forwardto remove the tableware on tableimmediately.
此时乌曼伯爵已经用餐完毕,一旁的侍从立刻上前将桌上的餐具撤了下去。„Is the tour of Ice Rock Citysmooth?”CountUmanwiped the mouthwith the napkin, asked.
“冰岩城之行还顺利吧?”乌曼伯爵用餐巾擦了擦嘴,问道。„Allsmooth! ViscountAngelieentertainedusvery muchwarmly.”
“一切顺利!安格列子爵很热情地招待了我们。”„Un, Ice Rock Citypresentsituationhow?”
“嗯,冰岩城现在的情况如何?”„Well-trained soldiers and ample supply!”
“兵精粮足!”CountUmanchews the briefappraisal that Varlais giving, the browwrinklesslightly.乌曼伯爵嘴嚼着瓦尔拉给出的简短评价,眉头微微皱起。„Did youfind out the tendency of ViscountAngelie?”
“那你摸清楚安格列子爵的倾向了吗?”„Yes.” A Varlafacesaidassuredly,„Ibelieve firmly, if the northernboundaryeruptionrebellion, ViscountAngeliewill certainly standthis sideus.”
“是的。”瓦尔拉一脸笃定地说道,“我确信,如果北境爆发叛乱,安格列子爵一定会站在我们这一边。”„? Why did youaffirm?”Eyebrowfirst choice of CountUmanselecting.
“哦?你为什么这么肯定?”乌曼伯爵的眉头挑了挑。
„ ViscountAngeliemarriedPrinceToupet the incidentto take to heartMissVeratoDukeSt. Hilde, butin the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, hediscovered that the duketriesto send peopleto assassinateVeraunexpectedly, makingVera'sdeathto becomenorth the boundarymilitaryinvolve the excuse of halfelfkingdom.
“原本安格列子爵就对圣希尔德公爵将薇拉小姐嫁给图佩王子一事耿耿于怀,而在银月城中,他又发现公爵竟然试图派人刺杀薇拉,让薇拉的死成为北境军事介入半精灵王国的借口。ThisalsoletsdeeplylikeVeraMiss'sViscountAngeliebeing thoroughly disappointedaboutDukeSt. Hilde, evenis disgruntled. ”
这也让深爱着薇拉小姐的安格列子爵对圣希尔德公爵彻底失望,甚至心生怨恨。”HearingVarlasaid that Colinthinksis the duketriesto assassinateVera the time, the look of CountUmanflashesslightly, butquickalso the complexionaskedas usual:
听到瓦尔拉说柯林以为是公爵试图刺杀薇拉的时候,乌曼伯爵的眼神微微一闪,但很快就又面色如常地问道:„Therefore, Verachoosesto keep the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, butis not willingto return to the northernboundary is also becauseis disgruntledofDukeSt. Hilde?”
“所以,薇拉选择留在银月城而不愿返回北境也是因为对圣希尔德公爵心生怨恨?”„Yes.”
“是的。”„Un.”CountUmannods, seemed likeapproved the judgment of Varlaknight.
“嗯。”乌曼伯爵点点头,似乎是认可了瓦尔拉骑士的判断。Afterwardwhathethinks , asked that „right, haven't youdined?”
随后他才想起来什么,又问道,“对了,你还没有用餐吧?”„No. Kaitlinstillin the roomI, Idineswithherlatertogether.”
“没有。凯特琳还在房间等我,我待会儿跟她一起用餐。”„Good, yougoquickly, remembersuses up the mealbefore the darkness.”
“好,那你快去吧,记得在天黑之前用完餐。”„Yes.”
“是。”VarlaagainsalutestoCountUmanandPenny, thensaid goodbyeto depart.瓦尔拉再次向乌曼伯爵和潘妮行礼,然后告辞离去。Until the Varlaformdisappearsoutside the hall, his„mother”Ms.Pennydid not haveto speaka few wordstohimon own initiative.
直到瓦尔拉的身影消失在厅外,他的“亲生母亲”潘妮女士都没有主动跟他说过一句话。„Youthought that ViscountAngeliedoes have the possibility of winning over?”Pennyputs down the knife and fork in hand, finallyopened the mouth.
“你觉得安格列子爵有拉拢的可能?”潘妮放下手中的刀叉,终于开口了。CountUmanactuallyshakes the headslowly: „Sinceoneyear ago after assassination of thatfailure, the Angeliefamilywithuswas not a passer-by.”乌曼伯爵却缓缓摇头:“自从一年前那场失败的刺杀之后,安格列家族就跟我们不是一路人了。”„Youthought that heknowsisassassin who wesend out?”
“你觉得他知道是我们派出的刺客了?”„Shouldguess correctly.”CountUman the lookis profound, „fromsilversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gatesequences of events, thisColinAngelie has the smart person of methodextremely, was impossible unable to guess correctlyinitiallyisunderus the hand.”
“应该猜到了。”乌曼伯爵眼神幽深,“从银月城的一系列事件来看,这个柯林・安格列是个极有手段的聪明人,不可能猜不出当初是我们下的手。”Pennylightsnort/hum, complained:
潘妮轻哼一声,埋怨道:„Youshould notcause complicationsinitially, seeks afterAngeliefamily'stitle! Youare very goodtoVarlathisillegitimate child, first is to make himaccept the baptismto become the knight, helpshimmarry the aristocratyoung lady, does not needto do everything possibleto compensatehimagain.”
“你当初就不该节外生枝,去贪图安格列家族的爵位!你对瓦尔拉这个私生子已经很不错了,先是让他接受洗礼成为骑士,又帮他娶到贵族小姐,没必要再想方设法补偿他了。”CountUman the guilt in eyeflashes past, has not arguedanything, thenasked: „Since the Angeliefamilyis very difficultto win over, howyourElder Brotherdoes prepareto cope withthem?”乌曼伯爵眼中的愧疚一闪而过,却没有辩解什么,转而问道:“既然安格列家族很难被拉拢,那你哥哥准备怎么对付他们?”Pennyhesitant, actuallyshakes the head saying: „I don't know either, the Elder Brotherhas not toldme.”
潘妮犹豫了一下,却摇头道:“我也不知道,哥哥没跟我讲。”CountUman the complexionis tranquil, but the innermost feelingsactuallysurge a anger of difficultword.乌曼伯爵面色平静,但内心却涌起一股难言的愤怒。Heknows,oneselfpresentis not trusted.
他知道,自己现在已经不被信任了。
A year ago chaotic of thatnorthboundary, hisundecidedbehaviorhas caused the vigilance of St. Theon Family, thistime, the opposite partyhas been obviously guarding againsthim.
一年前的那场北境之乱,他首鼠两端的行为已经引起了圣席恩家族的警惕,这一次,对方明显已经在提防着他了。Sees the silenthusband, Pennysmiles, warmsound said: „Youdo not useimpatiently. Springdrew near, the Elder Brotherhas becomein the layoutsituation of northernboundary, thistime, the St. Hildefamilydecidedhowever the distress of difficultescapingdestruction!”
看到沉默不语的丈夫,潘妮笑了笑,温声道:“你不用心急。春天快到了,哥哥在北境的布局大势已成,这一次,圣希尔德家族定然难逃覆灭之厄!”„Nowwhere is yourElder Brotherat?”
“你哥哥现在在哪?”„HeinRoyal Dragon City.”
“他在御龙城。”CountUman the browwrinkled the wrinkle, has not actually closely examinedElder BrotherPennyto makeanythingin the capital of brillianceempire.乌曼伯爵眉头皱了皱,却没有追问潘妮哥哥在光辉帝国的首都做什么。Becauseheknows, even if asked that it is estimated thatPennywill not speak the truth.
因为他知道,就算问了,估计潘妮也不会讲实话。Hedoes not need a joke backfire.
那他也没必要自讨没趣了。Actuallyregardingthistimerebelling, CountUmansomewhatlacks self-confidence.
其实对于这次的反叛,乌曼伯爵心里是有些没底的。Manyplans of St. Theon Familystartto hide the truth fromhim, the feeling of thisbeing able to see clearlyoverall situationmakesCountUmanveryanxious.圣席恩家族的很多计划都开始瞒着他,这种看不清全局的感觉让乌曼伯爵很是焦躁。Moreover, heregardingownenfeoffed nobles, isthatwieldsnorthernboundary more than 30years of DukeSt. Hildeto understandvery much,knows the opposite partyis not the role that caneasilycope with.
而且,他对于自己的封君,也就是那位执掌北境三十多年的圣希尔德公爵很了解,知道对方不是个能够轻易对付的角色。Let alone, thisdukealsohid the strengthunexpectedly.
更何况,这位公爵竟然还隐藏了实力。
A Saintknight, enoughhas suppressed a side!
一位圣骑士,已经足够镇压一方了!AlthoughSt. Theon FamilyinvitedSaint Warrior of Trollempire, caused heavy losses toDukeSt. Hilde, butnorth this injury of boundarydukeis how much, no oneknows.
虽然圣席恩家族请来了巨魔帝国的圣武士,重创了圣希尔德公爵,但这位北境公爵的伤势到底有多重,谁也不知道。Pennyas ifsaw the anxiety of man, saidwith a smile: „The restorationproject of Eagle Descent Citycity wallhad finished, Iam thinking,happen to the building materialalsohasextra, insomeobsoleteconstructions the cityalsorestorestogetherreinforces.”
潘妮似乎看出了男人的忧虑,笑着说道:“坠鹰城城墙的修缮工程已经完工了,我在想,正好建筑材料还有富余,是不是将城内一些老旧的建筑也一起修缮加固一下。”„Un, thisyourselfarranged.”CountUmanspoke thoughtlessly to say, then stood up, „Iwent to the study room.”
“嗯,这个你自己安排好了。”乌曼伯爵随口应道,然后便站起身来,“我去书房了。”„Good.”Pennyshows a faint smile, stood, raises head, kiss that seems waiting for the man.
“好。”潘妮微微一笑,也站了起来,同时仰起头来,似乎在等待男人的吻。ButCountUmanas ifsimplyhas not noticedsweetheart'ssuggestion, walkeddirectly.
但乌曼伯爵仿佛根本没有注意到情人的暗示,径直走了出去。
