Red Fort, restaurant. 红堡,餐厅。 On the red tung oil tree wooden long table, Colin sits in the seat of honor, scholar Dawn sits in one side. 红桐木长桌上,柯林坐在主位,道恩学士坐在一侧。 Half elf maidservant Cathy movement provided the sumptuous breakfast deftly. 半精灵侍女凯茜动作麻利地送上了丰盛的早餐。 Lemon roasted chicken, Bacon omelette, oatmeal and butter bread, naturally Colin's exclusive deer blood liquor. 柠檬烤鸡、培根煎蛋、燕麦粥、黄油面包,当然还有柯林专属的鹿血酒。 As for scholar Dawn, what he drinks is the milk. 至于道恩学士,他喝的是牛奶。 Boiled for night, Colin this little while index finger moves greatly, shortly after forced in front food the belly completely. 熬了一夜,柯林这会儿食指大动,没多久就将面前的食物全部塞进了肚子里。 The posture that scholar Dawn eats meal is graceful, looks after the special training, but, his speed is not slow, almost solves to fight with Colin simultaneously. 道恩学士吃饭的姿势非常优雅,一看就是经过专门的训练,不过,他的速度也不慢,几乎跟柯林同时解决战斗。 Wiped the mouth, Colin let on Cathy but actually two cups of coffee, later asked with a smile: „scholar Dawn, I have had doubts, why can you be willing to support Vera to become the northern boundary duke? Do not dodge me with the Joyce too young this reason.” 擦了擦嘴,柯林让凯茜倒上两杯咖啡,随后笑着问道:“道恩学士,我一直有个疑惑,你为什么会愿意支持薇拉成为北境公爵？别用乔伊斯太年幼这种理由搪塞我。” Truly, young Lord Monarch, instead is the good opportunity that each powerful minister gives full play. 确实,年幼的主君,反而是每一位权臣大显身手的好机会。 scholar Dawn sipped coffee, considers saying: „Viscount Sir, actually I choose to support Miss Vera, because of you.” 道恩学士抿了一口咖啡,斟酌道:“子爵大人,其实我选择支持薇拉小姐,是因为您。” „I?” Colin obviously gawked staring. “我？”柯林明显愣了愣。 „Yes.” scholar Dawn is looking straight ahead Colin's vision, the complexion is confident, „, because I believe that only then you can strive to turn the tide, suppresses the rebellion of northern boundary.” “是的。”道恩学士直视着柯林的目光,面色坦然,“因为我认为,只有您才能力挽狂澜,平息北境的叛乱。” Dawn saw obviously in Colin and Vera's sentiment, Colin without a doubt is a leader. Once then, Vera becomes the northern boundary duke, that controls the northern boundary truly, can actually be Colin. 道恩显然是看出了在柯林与薇拉的这段感情中,柯林毫无疑问是主导者。那么,一旦薇拉成为北境公爵,那真正掌控北境的,其实会是柯林。 „Do you favor me?” Colin somewhat is slightly self-satisfied, after all who likes being praised. “你就这么看好我？”柯林微微有些得意,毕竟谁都喜欢被人夸奖。 „ Naturally. You can by the military rare talent who Marquis Garcia settles on, beats the powerful enemy in the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate and Troll Royal City twice, proved own military capability, can say, after Marquis Garcia, by the talent of control, you, when is the northern boundary first. “当然。您是能被加西亚侯爵看中的军事奇才,又在银月城和巨魔王城两次击败强敌,证明了自己的军事能力,可以说,自加西亚侯爵之后,论统御之才,您当属北境第一。 Moreover, your ability politically is also quite splendid. No matter won the final victory in silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate intriguing gambling, stands firm Ice Rock City in the situation of northern boundary chaos, proved the talent of your excellent administering. 而且,您在政治上的才能也相当出色。不管是在银月城错综复杂的博弈中赢得最后的胜利,还是在北境大乱的情况下稳住冰岩城,都证明了您出色的治政之才。 Moreover, I also discovered recently you manage that the slave uses ‚overall’ system, it can be said that the pioneering work of talent! 另外,我最近也发现了您管理奴隶所用的那个‘积分’制度,可以说是天才的创举！ Therefore, I recognized, the northern boundary can certainly give full play to the vitality under your governance! ” 所以,我认定,北境一定能在您的治理下重新焕发生机！” Colin is somewhat surprised, obviously has not thought of this scholar Dawn to own research such depth, moreover saw the points-based system that he fiddles with is to stimulate the key of slaves working zeal. 柯林有些意外,显然是没有想到这个道恩学士对自己的研究如此之深,而且还一眼看出了他捣鼓出的积分制度才是激发奴隶们干劲的关键。 However, he does not want to display happily, carries the coffee to drink one excessively hastily, then acts with constraint smiles, said: 不过,他也不想表现得过分得意,连忙端起咖啡喝了一口,然后矜持地笑了笑,道: „Never expected that scholar Dawn you pays attention to me, but also so confident. However, not necessarily everyone supports me like you, is not everyone hopes that sees Vera to become the northern lord of boundary.” “没想到道恩学士你对我如此关注,还如此有信心呀。不过,未必所有人都像你一样支持我,也不是所有人都希望看到薇拉成为北境之主。” scholar Dawn understands instantaneously Colin's meaning, returns immediately said: „Viscount Sir, wants to make Miss Vera inherit the position of duke, is actually not difficult.” 道恩学士瞬间明白了柯林的意思,当即回道:“子爵大人,想让薇拉小姐继承公爵之位,其实并不难。” Colin two eyes one bright, could not attend to acting with constraint, pursued hastily asks: „How to do?” 柯林两眼一亮,也顾不得矜持了,连忙追问道:“怎么做？” scholar Dawn smiles self-confidently, clears throat, the analysis said: 道恩学士自信一笑,清了清嗓子,分析道: „ Viscount Sir, the ownership of position of northern boundary duke, primarily depends on the tripartite influence. “子爵大人,北境公爵之位的归属,主要取决于三方势力。 First, naturally is the St. Hilde family, more specifically, was the will of previous generation duke, but, duke died now suddenly, without leaving behind any will, without assigning explicit successor, therefore, this, on the one hand did not serve as excessively considered. ” 第一,当然是圣希尔德家族,更准确地说,是上一代公爵的遗嘱,但是,如今公爵猝然身亡,没有留下任何遗嘱,更没有指定明确的继承人,所以,这一方面就不用做过多考虑。” Colin approves nods, some of before his actually doubts Duke St. Hilde, why east the position of boundary marquis will not give own three child Joyce, determines his right of inheritance. 柯林认同地点点头,他其实有些疑惑圣希尔德公爵之前为什么不将东境侯爵之位给自己的三子乔伊斯,确定他的继承权。 But since this matter is favorable for Vera, Colin is not willing to intertwine again the true idea of Duke St. Hilde. 但既然此事对薇拉有利,那柯林也不愿再纠结圣希尔德公爵的真实想法了。 „The second side influence......” scholar Dawn continues saying that „ is the imperial family of brilliance empire. The northern boundary duke needs to obtain conferring rank and title of emperor, therefore, Vera must obtain the approval of Rinehart Great Emperor. “第二方势力……”道恩学士继续道,“就是光辉帝国的皇室。北境公爵需要得到皇帝的册封,因此,薇拉必须得到莱因哈特大帝的认可。 The third party influence, is Empire Upper House. Do not look that in Upper House is the big master who in some all days teases bird walking with dog, probably anything does not manage. 第三方势力,就是帝国元老院。别看元老院中都是一些整日里逗鸟遛狗的大老爷,好像什么事都不管。 However, they have the right to speak regarding the ownership of northern boundary duke, if they unanimously oppose Vera, then, even Rinehart Great Emperor is unable to neglect their influences. ” 但是,他们对于北境公爵的归属也是有发言权的,如果他们一致反对薇拉,那么,即便是莱因哈特大帝也无法忽视他们的影响力。” Among Colin looks is somewhat dignified, he suddenly discovered, oneself has no understanding regarding the above several side influences, not to mention about their decisions. 柯林神色间有些凝重,他忽然发现,自己对于上述的几方势力都没有任何了解,更别提左右他们的决定了。 However, scholar Dawn this explanation pointed out the direction to him actually . Moreover, also had certainly some means. 不过,道恩学士这一番讲解倒是给他指出了方向,而且,想必也一定有了一些办法。 After thinking moment, Colin asked earnestly: „That, how can let Rinehart Great Emperor and Upper House agreed that Vera does inherit the position of northern boundary duke?” 思索片刻后,柯林认真地问道:“那么,如何才能让莱因哈特大帝和元老院同意薇拉继承北境公爵之位？” scholar Dawn that not anxiously not slow appearance: „ We first Upper House. 道恩学士还是那副不急不缓的模样:“我们先来说元老院。 Empire Upper House comprised of 117 aristocrat members, although they do not have the title, but, their qualifications are extremely high, the personal connection is extremely broad, has the enormous influence upper level the empire. 帝国元老院由一百一十七名贵族成员组成,他们虽然没有爵位,但是,他们资历极高,人脉极广,在帝国上层拥有极大的影响力。 To be honest, I do not know that each of them the attitude to Vera is anything, this is also very difficult to make clear in a short time. 说实话,我也不知道他们每个人对薇拉的态度是什么,这也很难在短时间内搞清楚。 However, making them like person some difficulties simultaneously, but to make them dislike a person simultaneously, is actually easy. ” 不过,让他们同时喜欢一个人有些难度,但如果想让他们同时讨厌一个人的话,却是轻而易举。” „? What do you mean?” “哦？什么意思？” „Does viscount Sir, you know Baron Heidegger?” “子爵大人,您知不知道海德格尔男爵？” „Naturally knows, empire prime ministers.” Colin light say/way. “当然知道,帝国首相嘛。”柯林淡淡道。 Actually he is somewhat afraid, after all he also knows this point regarding Baron Heidegger. 其实他有些心虚,毕竟他对于海德格尔男爵也就知道这一点。 scholar Dawn does not know that sees Colin's embarrassed , to continue to explain time especially is then exhaustive: 道恩学士也不知道有没有看出柯林的窘迫,继续解释的时候便格外详尽: „ Baron Heidegger came from an ordinary family, obtained fortunately entered the opportunity that Bai Tower Institute learned/studied, after graduating, then has served for St. Lawrence Family. “海德格尔男爵出身于一个平民家庭,有幸得到了进入白塔学院学习的机会,毕业后便一直为圣洛伦佐家族服务。 Although is low-born, but Baron Heidegger the natural talent is outstanding, used for short 13 years then to become the palace prime minister from civilians merely, then sat in this position is more than 40 years, it can be said that an empire palace most irreplaceable old minister. 虽然出身低微,但海德格尔男爵天资卓绝,仅仅用了短短十三年时间便从一介平民成为宫廷首相,然后在这个位置上一坐就是四十多年,可以说是帝国宫廷最无可取代的一位老臣。 At the beginning of Rinehart Great Emperor ascends the throne, once attempted for Heidegger to seal/confer nobility, shows the favor and winning over. But this decision actually encountered the vigorous opposition of Upper House. 莱因哈特大帝登基之初,曾试图为海德格尔封爵,以示恩宠和拉拢。但这个决定却遭到了元老院的强烈反对。 The reason is very simple, although Heidegger expensive/noble is the empire prime minister, but after all is the humble birth, according to the aristocrat principle cannot give the nobility directly. 原因很简单,海德格尔虽然贵为帝国首相,但毕竟是平民出身,按照贵族法则是不能直接授爵的。 Upper House hopes that Rinehart Great Emperor chooses an aristocrat's daughter, bestows the marriage for Heidegger, and pledged that can make their descendants accept the title to confer rank and title. 元老院希望莱因哈特大帝挑选一名贵族之女,为海德格尔赐婚,并承诺可以让他们的后代接受爵位册封。 But that time prime minister Sir the year about 70, had married the expensive/noble female even, how under possible birth descendant? 但那时候的首相大人已经年近七十,就算娶了贵女,又怎么可能诞下后代？ Let alone, Heidegger life has not married, according to being able to reach an agreement female sexual attractiveness...... ” 更何况,海德格尔一生未娶,据说不好女色……” At this point, scholar Dawn complexion somewhat strange, Colin sees that thinks to the sex orientation of this prime minister immediately. 说到这里,道恩学士脸色有些奇异,柯林见状顿时对这位首相的性取向浮想联翩。 „...... In brief, emperor and Upper House, in Heidegger sealed at the nobility incident to get into a deadlock, finally after the ferocious struggle, as well as a series of concessions, Upper House reluctantly agreed. “……总之,皇帝与元老院在海德格尔封爵一事上闹僵了,最后经过激烈的斗争,以及一系列的让步,元老院还是勉强同意了。 However, the emperor also made the enormous compromise, prime minister Sir only obtained position of the most preliminary Baron, moreover this title is lifelong, cannot hereditary, empty seals, without territory. 不过,皇帝也作出了极大的妥协,首相大人只得到了一个最低级的男爵之位,而且这个爵位是终身的,不能世袭,还是虚封的,没有领地。 Although has all sorts of limits, but after all is the first sealed nobility civilians, this to Heidegger was also the enormous glory. 虽然有着种种限制,但毕竟是第一位得到封爵的平民,这对海德格尔来说也算是极大的荣耀了。 What a pity, Upper House adds in the resistance that in this process displays, with adding all sorts of limits in Baron title actually enraged arrogant Heidegger, he even once openly declared- 可惜,元老院加在这个过程中表现出来的抗拒,和加在男爵爵位上的种种限制却激怒了高傲的海德格尔,他甚至曾公开宣称- ‚I rather am free civilians, do not become one to tie the aristocrat of hands and feet’. ‘我宁愿做一名自由的平民,也不要成为一个被缚住手脚的贵族’。 Although under advising of emperor, Heidegger ultimately accepted the title, but between he and Upper House has actually had the enmity. 虽然在皇帝的劝导下,海德格尔最终还是接受了爵位,但他跟元老院之间却已经结下了仇怨。 Later, this palace prime minister then using power in hand, adopted several bill that limits the Upper House power, this also makes enmity knot of both sides deeper. 之后,这位宫廷首相便利用职务之便,通过了好几个限制元老院权力的法案,这也让双方的仇怨越结越深。 Therefore, if wish makes Upper House support Miss Vera , you do not need to clarify the attitudes of over a hundred Upper House members, only needing made Baron Heidegger support Young Master Joyce on the line. 所以,如果想要让元老院支持薇拉小姐,那么,您根本不需要去弄清楚上百位元老院成员的态度,只需要让海德格尔男爵支持乔伊斯公子就行了。 Those Baron Heidegger supports, Upper House will certainly oppose in step! ” 凡是海德格尔男爵支持的,元老院一定会步调一致地反对！” „That, how should make Baron Heidegger support Joyce?” In Colin heart is gradually fiery. “那么,该怎么让海德格尔男爵支持乔伊斯呢？”柯林心中渐渐火热起来。 „This you gave me to be good.” scholar Dawn from the channel, „I with Baron Heidegger some friendship, had confidence that asked him to express in public to regarding as important of Young Master Joyce.” “这个您交给我就行了。”道恩学士自信道,“我跟海德格尔男爵有些交情,有把握请他在公开场合表达对乔伊斯公子的看重。” Colin then realized, these two are Bai Tower Institute comes out, some relations are also normal. 柯林这才意识到,这两位都是白塔学院出来的,有些联系也是正常。 „Good! That remained the last issue, how to make Rinehart Great Emperor agree that Vera did inherit the position of northern boundary duke?” “好！那就剩最后一个问题了,如何让莱因哈特大帝同意薇拉继承北境公爵之位？”
