Next morning, whenforest beltVerais entering the restaurant, seesDukeSt. Hildeto use the breakfast.
翌日清晨,当柯林带着薇拉走进餐厅的时候,就见圣希尔德公爵已经在用早餐了。Hisside, but alsositsscholarDawn.
他的旁边,还坐着道恩学士。„DukeSir!”
“公爵大人!”„Father!”
“父亲!”„Un, sits.”
“恩,坐吧。”Two peopletake a seataccording to the word, halfelfmaidservantCathypresentsimmediatelyhas prepared the goodbreakfast.
两人依言入座,半精灵侍女凯茜立刻呈上早已准备好的早餐。
The coalroasts the beef steak, omelette, chick-pea and creamstrawberry, milkandliquorwater.
炭烤牛排、煎蛋、鹰嘴豆、奶油草莓,还有牛奶和酒水。Entirediningprocessunmannedconversation, only then the knife and fork and dinner platecollidedingdong the sound that sends out.
整个用餐过程无人交谈,只有刀叉与餐盘碰撞发出的叮当声响。Uses up the breakfast, DukeSt. Hildeopens the mouth saying: „Colinyouprepares the wedding, scholarDawnhappen toalso, canhelpbusilysome. Vera, youaccompanymeto walk.”
用完早餐,圣希尔德公爵开口道:“柯林你去准备婚礼吧,道恩学士正好也在,可以帮些忙。薇拉,你陪我走走。”„Yes.”ColingaveVera a relievedlook, laterset outto leave the restaurantwithscholarDawntogether.
“是。”柯林给了薇拉一个安心的眼神,随后起身与道恩学士一同离开了餐厅。Veralooks down the silvernaturecandlestick on table, withoutspeech.
薇拉低头看着餐桌上的银质烛台,没有说话。Awkwardatmospherepassesamongthispair of father and daughter.
一丝尴尬的气氛在这对父女间流转。Long time, DukeSt. Hildefirstopened the mouth:
良久,还是圣希尔德公爵先开口了:„Heard that Charlesinexpediting the fight of Trollempiredid die?”
“听说查尔斯在远征巨魔帝国的战斗中不幸牺牲了?”„Yes.”Veranods, the look cannot help but sad.
“是的。”薇拉点了点头,眼神不由得哀伤起来。DukeSt. Hildesilentmoment, opens the mouthto sayunemotionally: „Nowwhere does heburyto be at?”圣希尔德公爵沉默片刻,面无表情地开口道:“他现在安葬在哪?”„Buriesin the public cemetery of Angeliefamilyarmy.”
“就安葬在安格列家族军队的公墓中。”„Leadsmeto have a look.”
“带我去看看。”„Good.”
“好。”Verasets outimmediately, gettingDukeSt. Hildeto walkoutward.
薇拉随即起身,领着圣希尔德公爵向外走去。
The public cemeteryis not farbehindRed Fort, the person in thisworldextremelyhad not abstainedregarding the tomb, will also think that isfrom the heavenrecentplace, canfeel the brilliance the Lordaura.
公墓就在红堡后面不远,这个世界的人对于墓地并没有太过忌讳,甚至还会觉得那是距离天国最近的地方,能够感受到光辉之主的气息。Therefore, around the tombis not remote, without the feeling of thatgloomyterrifying.
所以,墓地周围并不偏僻,也没有那种阴森恐怖的感觉。Charlesburiesin the firstrow of most conspicuousposition of public cemetery, in the epitaphis carvinghisfull name, a few words that as well asColinwritespersonally-
查尔斯就安葬在公墓的第一排最显眼的位置,墓志铭上刻着他的全名,以及柯林亲自写上去的一句话-„WhatrestshereisSt. Hilde, helivesfor the northernboundary, diesfor the northernboundary.”
“安息在这里的是一位圣希尔德,他为北境而生,为北境而死。”DukeSt. Hildelooks downCharles'stombstone, for a very long timeis speechless.圣希尔德公爵低头看着查尔斯的墓碑,久久无语。
The breezeblowsseveralfluttering aboutflower petals, the butterfly that as ifdances lightly, before passing over gently and swiftlyCharles'sgrave .
微风吹起几片纷飞的花瓣,仿佛翩翩起舞的蝴蝶,掠过查尔斯的墓前。
The father and daughter who express griefsilentdo not know,actuallyin the tombburies, is only a spatialcoffin.
沉默致哀的父女两人并不知道,其实坟墓里埋葬的,只是一个空棺。Long time, DukeSt. Hilderaised the head, lookstoVera.
良久,圣希尔德公爵才抬起头来,看向身旁的薇拉。Hehas certainly felt,Veranowtohisalienation, canguess correctly that probablythisbarrier came from where.
他当然早已感觉到,薇拉现在对他的疏远,也大概能猜到这份隔阂到底源自何处。„Youare hatingme.”DukeSt. Hildelightsay/way, whatusedis the declarative sentence.
“你在恨我。”圣希尔德公爵淡淡道,用的是陈述句。Veraalsoimmersesin the mourningelder brother'sgrief, hearsYanchousniffing, has not spoken.
薇拉还沉浸在哀悼哥哥的伤痛中,闻言抽了抽鼻子,却没有说话。„Before ishatesme, marries the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gateyou?”
“是怨恨我之前将你嫁到银月城?”Verashakes the head, after silentmoment, finallyopens the mouthto ask: „Savoiefamilyoncetriedto assassinatemein the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, is thisyoupulls strings?”
薇拉摇了摇头,沉默片刻后终于开口问道:“萨伏依家族曾在银月城试图刺杀我,这是不是你指使的?”„It is not.”DukeSt. Hildesaiddecisively,„thatis the plot of St. Theon Family.”
“不是。”圣希尔德公爵断然道,“那是圣席恩家族的阴谋。”Butimmediately, DukeSt. Hildecontinues saying: „But, Savoiefamilyhad once contactedwithmein secret, therefore, Iknowthisplot.”
可随即,圣希尔德公爵就继续道:“但是,萨伏依家族曾暗中与我联系过,所以,我是知道这个阴谋的。”Verastaredin a big way the eye, does not know that is shockingin the sincerity of DukeSt. Hilde, sighed the doubtsinheartto obtain the explanationfinally.
薇拉瞪大了眼睛,也不知是在震惊于圣希尔德公爵的诚恳,还是感叹于心中的疑惑终于得到了解答。„Haven't youprevented?”Suddenly, herunexpectedlysomedo not dareto facethisrealanswer, perhapssheratherhears a liefrom the dukemouth.
“那您也没有阻止?”一时间,她竟有些不敢面对这个真实的答案,或许她宁愿从公爵口中听到一个谎言。„No.” The prouddukeas ifdisdainsinliestoowndaughter, „, because, Ialsoneedyou dead in the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate!”
“没有。”骄傲的公爵似乎不屑于对自己女儿撒谎,“因为,我也需要你死在银月城!”Twolines of cleartearsfallfromVeraeyes, the face of young girlinstantaneouslybecomespaleincomparable, herlipis shivering, whatwordscould not say.
两行清泪从薇拉眼中滑落,少女的脸庞瞬间变得苍白无比,她的嘴唇颤抖着,却什么话也说不出来。DukeSt. Hildecontinuesto sayunemotionally: „Do not hateme, thisisourSt. Hildefate.”圣希尔德公爵面无表情地继续道:“不要怨恨我,这是我们圣希尔德的宿命。”Heis pointing atCharles'sepitaph, the toneis deep: „Livesfor the northernboundary, diesfor the northernboundary, thisisdissolves the responsibility and dutiesinourbloodlines, youcannot escape.”
他指着查尔斯的墓志铭,语气深沉:“为北境而生,为北境而死,这是溶于我们血脉之中的责任和义务,你也逃不掉的。”Vera is actually cryingshaking the head: „No, should notbethis.”
薇拉却哭着摇头:“不,不应该是这样的。”„Howisn't?” The St. Hildecomplexionis serious, „youare enjoyingconsecration of northernboundarypeople, is living the life of sumptuous lifestyle, youare accepting the St. Hildeall previous generationsolder generationwith the glory that the lifetrades, is always the focus of crowd, thesethings, youreallythink that doesn't have the price?”
“怎么不是?”圣希尔德面色郑重,“你享受着北境子民的供奉,过着锦衣玉食的生活,你接受着圣希尔德历代先辈用生命换来的荣耀,无时无刻不是人群的焦点,这些东西,你难道真的以为是没有代价的?”„Iam willingto undertakeas the duty that St. Hildeshoulddo, but, thisdoes not mean that youcanregard the toolme, regardsto maintainyouin the tool of northernboundaryrule!”
“我愿意承担作为一名圣希尔德应尽的义务,但是,这绝不意味着您可以将我当成工具,当成维护您在北境统治的工具!”„Rules the northernboundary?”DukeSt. Hildesmiledsuddenly, „Vera, ourSt. Hildefamily'smissionisto protect the northernboundary, rather thanrules the northernboundary!”
“统治北境?”圣希尔德公爵忽然笑了起来,“薇拉,我们圣希尔德家族的使命是守护北境,而不是统治北境!”Does not wait forVerato reply,DukeSt. Hildeliftedowncoat.
不等薇拉回答,圣希尔德公爵就掀开了自己的上衣。
The fiercewoundhas extendedfromhisleft shoulderto the righthiptogether, the wound that evencan unable to healbythisseesinternal the internal organs and golden yellowblood of creeping motionclearly.
一道狰狞的伤口从他的左肩一直延伸到右胯,甚至可以透过这道无法愈合的伤口清晰地看到内部蠕动的脏器和金黄的血液。Woundall aroundpicturefilledvariouscrossspells, but the holystrengthalso can only maintain the woundnot to continuelike thisto deterioratereluctantly.
伤口四周画满了各种十字符咒,但这样的圣洁力量也只能勉强维持伤口不继续恶化。„Saw? Thisis the price that Ipay.”DukeSt. Hilde the surfacesinkslike the water, „ fiveyears ago, whenTroll EmperorDofeinvitedmyduel, can Ionceflinch? Last year, whenSaint Warrior Prince OttokilledWinterfell City, can Ionceavoid?
“看到了吗?这是我付出的代价。”圣希尔德公爵面沉如水,“五年前,当巨魔皇帝默多夫邀请我决斗的时候,我可曾退缩?去年,当圣武士奥托亲王杀到凛冬城的时候,我可曾躲避?Mylife, can protect the northernboundarymomentarilyabandons!
我的性命,随时可以为守护北境而抛弃!You, Charles, Garcia...... allSt. Hilde , is the same! ”
你,查尔斯,加西亚……所有的圣希尔德,也都一样!”Perhapsis frightenedat presentby one of the terrifying, Veraopened the mouth, long timeis speechless.
或许是被眼前这恐怖的一幕吓到了,薇拉张大了嘴巴,半晌无语。WhenDukeSt. Hildewears the shirt, sheshakes the headslowly, saidfirmly: „Idid not denyyourpayouttonorthernboundary, but, youronceactionsare unable to gainmyunderstandingforever.”
等圣希尔德公爵重新穿好衬衣,她才缓缓摇头,坚定地说道:“我不否认您对北境的付出,但是,您曾经的所作所为永远也无法得到我的谅解。”„Ido not needyourunderstanding.”DukeSt. Hildecoldsound said, „ perhapsnorth the lord of boundaryis representing the unsurpassedauthority and gloryin your eyes, the thing that butitneedsto shoulder, does not sitthisposition, neverunderstands.
“我不需要你的谅解。”圣希尔德公爵冷声道,“或许北境之主在你眼中代表着无上的权威和荣耀,但它所需要背负的东西,不亲身坐上这个位置,永远也不会明白。Inaturallyhope that youcanpass the lifesafelyjoyfully, butpitifully, you, sincelivedin the St. Hildefamily, mustcompleteoffersallmomentarilyfor this reason, evenincludinglifepreparation. ”
我当然希望你们都能平安快乐地度过一生,但可惜,你既然生在了圣希尔德家族,就必须做好随时为此奉献一切,甚至包括生命的准备。”Veracancels the tear stains on facegently, as iffinallyreturned tonormal.
薇拉轻轻抹去脸上的泪痕,似乎终于恢复了平静。Inhereyeindifferentis richer: „ Whenyouwhennorth the boundarysacrificedownlife, thatis the offer, but when youuse the authorityor the plotforce others whennorth the boundarysacrificedtheirlives, thatisoffers sacrifices!
只是她眼中的冷漠却更加浓郁:“当您为了北境牺牲自己的生命时,那是奉献,但当您用权威或是阴谋逼迫他人为了北境牺牲他们的生命时,那是献祭!What kind ofreasonregardless ofyouhave, is unable to touchmyheartagain.
无论您有怎样的理由,都无法再打动我的心,。ThisisIlast timecallsyouonesincerely- father.
这是我最后一次诚挚地叫您一声-父亲。Ido not have the power, noabilitymakes the judgementtoyou.
我没有权力,也没有能力对您做出裁决。But the omnipotentbrilliancelord, will make the fairtrialtoyouractionseventually! ”
但无所不能的光辉之主,终究会对您的所作所为做出公正的审判!”Said that thissaying, Verathendepartsfloating, does not seem to treatagain for onesecondwithownfoster father.
说完这话,薇拉便飘然离去,似乎不愿再跟自己的养父多待一秒。DukeSt. Hildestands and waits for a long timein front ofCharlestombstonealonelong time, sighsfinally, saidspookily:圣希尔德公爵孤零零在查尔斯墓碑前伫立良久,最后叹息一声,幽幽道:„Do youalsohatemelike this?”
“你也这样恨我么?”Thisissuecannot certainly obtainto respond, the mildspring breezesways, muttering of dukewill whisperdoes not know where the belt/bringapproached.
这个问题当然得不到回应,只有温润的春风吹拂而过,将公爵的喃喃低语不知带向了何方。
