In the brilliantly illuminated restaurant, is only left over the sound of breath. 灯火辉煌的餐厅中,只剩下呼吸的声音。 This sudden sad news hit people one to be caught off guard, the original fond dream like the bubble annihilation, the ice-cold brutal reality made everyone heart serious. 这个突如其来的噩耗打了众人一个措手不及,原本的美梦如泡沫般湮灭,冰冷残酷的现实让所有人心头沉重。 Good long time, Colin asked with the difficult tone: „How does Consul Lethem...... die?” 好半晌,柯林才用艰涩的语气问道:“莱托姆执政官……是怎么死的？” „Died in bed of old age.” Crete Consul squeezes out four characters from the gap between teeth, alarmed and afraid and angry that on the face is unable to conceal completely. “寿终正寝。”克里特执政官从牙缝中挤出四个字,脸上满是无法掩饰的惊惧和愤怒。 Obviously, this answer people on the scene has not believed. 显然,这个答案在场的众人没一个相信。 Will Consul Lethem die at such a critical moment exactly? 莱托姆执政官怎么会在这样一个关键时刻恰好死去？ It seems like that a Prince Reich side had lost the patience, took the most extreme measure unexpectedly, removed the biggest hindrance of keeping off in the declaring war proposal front. 看来,莱希亲王一方已经失去了耐心,竟然采取了最极端的措施,除掉了挡在宣战提案前方的最大阻碍。 „After Consul Lethem, who should the rotating president be?” scholar Dawn the sinking sound asked. “莱托姆执政官之后,轮值主席该是谁了？”道恩学士沉声问道。 „Morson St. Plossi.” Crete said seriously. “伊莫森・圣普洛斯。”克里特面色凝重地说道。 A Colin's heart also sinks to the valley. 柯林的一颗心也沉入谷底。 Is surnamed St. Plossi, this Consul came from the eastern boundary obviously, but the deviation of eastern boundary...... 姓圣普洛斯,这位执政官显然来自东境,而东境的偏向…… Colin still saw second son Count Ivan and his fiancee of eastern boundary duke at the palace banquet yesterday, but this fiancee, is the Prince Reich daughter. 柯林昨天还在宫廷宴会上见到东境公爵的次子埃文伯爵和他的未婚妻,而这位未婚妻,正是莱希亲王的女儿。 Therefore wants also to know with the buttocks, the eastern boundary affirmation has reversed to Prince Reich thoroughly. 所以用屁股想也知道,东境肯定已经彻底倒向莱希亲王了。 Moreover from the self-interest, the eastern boundary also most hopes to see the empire to the influence that Yeville declares war, after all Yeville situated in the eastern boundary and Radiant Moon Forest intersection point, its existence, has gripped in the thorn of eastern boundary chest. 而且从自身利益上来说,东境也是最希望看到帝国向耶维尔宣战的势力,毕竟耶维尔本身就位于东境和辉月森林交界处,它的存在,一直都是扎在东境心口的一根刺。 Now the empire is willing to dispatch troops to put down Yeville, the eastern boundary definitely lifts both hands both feet approval. 现在帝国愿意出兵扫平耶维尔,东境肯定举双手双脚赞成。 Consul Lethem dies, Morson Consul takes over as Upper House rotating president, he will certainly not continue to delay, definitely will promote to vote to the proposal that in Yeville declares war as soon as possible. 莱托姆执政官一死,伊莫森执政官接任元老院轮值主席,他当然不会继续拖延下去,必然会尽快推动对耶维尔宣战的提案上会表决。 In such situation, Vera also exerts pressure on the northern boundary senior statesman radically without enough time, making them ignore the order of Sebas Consul, casts the opposite ballot to the proposal. 这样的情况下,薇拉这边也根本来不及对北境元老施压,让他们不顾赛巴斯执政官的命令,对提案投反对票。 Moreover, Consul Lethem death, will deter a senior statesman of St. Lawrence Family department, perhaps more people will therefore reverse to Prince Reich. 而且,莱托姆执政官的死,也会震慑圣洛伦佐家族一系的元老,恐怕更多的人会因此倒向莱希亲王。 Therefore, if the declaring war proposal entered Upper House to vote at this time , will certainly obtain absolute majority affirmative votes if as expected. 所以,如果这个时候宣战提案进入元老院表决,不出意外的话,肯定会得到绝对多数的赞成票。 Thinks of here, in Colin heart also exudes the desperate mood unavoidably. 想到这里,柯林心中也难免泛起绝望的情绪。 Bang! 嘭！ The Crete Consul numerous palm pats on the table, is unable to suppress the innermost feelings again the anger and frightened, exclaimed lowly: „His is in the destruction game rule!” 克里特执政官重重一掌拍在餐桌上,再也无法抑制内心的愤怒和恐惧,低吼道:“他这是在破坏游戏规则！” Truly. 确实。 Kills Upper House Consul outrageously, this was really somewhat excessive. 悍然杀死一位元老院执政官,这实在是有些过分了。 With is Consul, the feelings of some Crete unavoidable like grieve for like. 同为执政官,克里特难免有些兔死狐悲之感。 Sees only him one to stand up, gets angry the sound said: Behavior that „I will not tolerate this blaspheming empire highest authority! Who does, must pay the price for this reason!” 只见他唰的一下站起身来,怒声道:“我绝不会纵容这种亵渎帝国最高权柄的行为！无论是谁干的,都必须为此付出代价！” The Crete Consul complexion is pale, the whole body cannot suppress shivers slightly, does not know that is actually because angry, because frightened. 克里特执政官脸色铁青,浑身抑制不住地微微颤抖,也不知究竟是因为愤怒,还是因为恐惧。 But obviously, he is not willing to give up. 但显然,他不愿就此善罢甘休。 Even if commits murder, possibly is Prince Reich, this Consul from western boundary, is not willing to compromise. 哪怕行凶的,可能是莱希亲王,这位来自西境的执政官,也不愿妥协。 Sees only his flashing eyes to look at Vera and Colin, the congealing sound said: „I contact with the senior statesman who gets to know each other well immediately, requests to investigate thoroughly the Consul Lethem cause of death!” 只见他目光炯炯地看着薇拉和柯林,凝声道:“我会立刻联系相熟的元老,要求彻查莱托姆执政官的死因！” Then, does not wait for the response, the stride went out of the restaurant hurriedly. 说完,也不等回应,就这么风风火火地大步走出了餐厅。 Colin and Vera looked at each other in blank dismay, has to sigh several, has the heavy heart, said goodbye to depart to the steward. 柯林和薇拉面面相觑了一阵,也只好叹息几声,带着沉重的心情,向管家告辞离去。 After boarding the carriage, the Colin three people fell into silent, obviously, how is thinking deeply about under present such to collapse. 登上马车后,柯林三人都陷入了沉默,显然,都在思索着现在这样的局面下到底该怎么破局。 Originally the situation is excellent, can prevent the Prince Reich proposal shortly through Upper House, but no one has thought, the Saint knight unexpectedly direct selection of this St. Lawrence Family upset the table. 本来已经局势大好,眼看就能阻止莱希亲王的提案通过元老院了,但谁也没想到,这位圣洛伦佐家族的圣骑士竟然直接选择了掀桌子。 This too did not speak the custom! 这实在是太不讲规矩了！ In Colin heart makes a determined effort secretly, he has been restraining himself, has been making effort in the frame of this political game, but now, since some people take the lead to destroy the game, that do not blame him not to speak the custom similarly! 柯林心中暗暗发狠,他本来一直克制着自己,一直都在这个政治游戏的框架内做着努力,但现在,既然有人率先破坏游戏,那就别怪他也同样不讲规矩了！ At this moment, Vera opens the mouth to ask suddenly: „Colin, you said that Crete Consul can discover kills the Consul Lethem murderer truly?” 就在这时,薇拉忽然开口问道:“柯林,你说克里特执政官能不能找出真正杀害莱托姆执政官的凶手？” Colin sighed a sound said: „I thought that the hope is not big. Since Prince Reich dares to begin to kill people, naturally will not leave the trace. Therefore, even if everyone understands that Lethem is the homicide, but cannot produce the evidence the words, how no one is able him.” 柯林叹息一声道:“我觉得希望不大。莱希亲王既然敢动手杀人,当然不会留下痕迹。所以,哪怕所有人都明白莱托姆是他杀的,但拿不出证据的话,谁也无法将他怎么样。” „Right. How no one can Prince Reich.” scholar Dawn also echoes saying that but immediately his one face added seriously, „, but the change of will of the people did not need the evidence, Prince Reich this act was seemingly successful by own proposal is obtained through the opportunity of Upper House, the thing that but he lost will be more. “没错。没人能将莱希亲王怎么样。”道恩学士也附和道,但随即他就一脸郑重地补充道,“但人心的变化是不需要证据的,莱希亲王此举看似成功让自己的提案获得了通过元老院的机会,但他失去的东西将会更多。 Perhaps in a short time was unable to appear, but this type to rule willfully tramples one day will bring fatal backlash accusation against him finally! ” 或许短时间内还无法显现出来,但这种对规则的肆意践踏终将有一天会给他带来致命的反噬！” Colin is silent nod. 柯林沉默着点点头。 Right, Prince Reich is taking advantage of the peerless military force now, can ignore the rule. 没错,莱希亲王现在依仗着绝世武力,可以漠视规则。 But the Saint knight also is still a person, is not the god, he will die of old age will happen one day, the strength will decline, now he is unscrupulous, when his military force is unable to deter the people again time, must be criticized. 但圣骑士也依然是人,不是神,他终有一天会老去,力量会衰退,现在他越是肆无忌惮,等到他的武力无法再威慑众人的时候,就必会遭到清算。 Naturally, on this day the distance now is remote, Colin must face the current intractable problem. 当然,这一天距离现在还非常遥远,柯林必须面对当前的棘手问题。 When Colin racking brains countermeasure, the carriage stopped suddenly. 就在柯林苦思冥想对策的时候,马车忽然停了下来。 scholar Dawn lifts the car(riage) curtain, will ask had anything, the guard who listens to accompanying reports saying: „Miss Vera, the front had Wizard to block our way.” 道恩学士掀开车帘,正要问发生了什么,就听随行的侍卫汇报道:“薇拉小姐,前方有位法师挡住了我们的去路。” „Wizard?” Vera hears word, drills the carriage immediately, then sees an old man who wears the silver law robe is standing in the road center, smiles is looking at itself. “法师？”薇拉闻言,立刻钻出了马车,然后就见一位身穿银色法袍的老者正站在路中央,微笑着看着自己。 „Sir Ernest!” Vera called out with amazement, along with, even if prepared to welcome the past, but just walked several steps to discover that own hand held on by behind Colin. “欧内斯特大人！”薇拉惊讶叫道,随即便准备迎过去,但刚走几步就发现自己的手被身后的柯林拉住。 „That is speaker Sir of Yeville Wizard parliament.” Vera then answered, „felt relieved that will not have the matter.” “那位是耶维尔法师议会的议长大人。”薇拉回头解释道,“放心吧,不会有事的。” „Un, you were careful.” Colin then loosens the hand. “嗯,那你小心。”柯林这才松开手。 However, he actually proceeded several steps, maintained a distance of sprint, but actually also gave the opposite party enough privacy. 不过,他却往前走了几步,保持一个冲刺的距离,但却也给了对方足够的隐私。 Ernest talked the general quarter of an hour with Vera, then nods toward Colin, turns around to vanish in the dim light of night. 欧内斯特跟薇拉交谈了大概一刻钟,然后便朝着柯林点头致意,转身消失在夜色中。 „What did he say to you?” Returns to the vehicle, Colin asks immediately. “他跟你说了什么？”回到车上,柯林立刻问道。 „Sir Ernest heard Prince Reich wants to the matter that Yeville declares war, therefore wants to pay a visit Rinehart Great Emperor, seeks a peaceful solution.” “欧内斯特大人听说了莱希亲王想要对耶维尔宣战的事情,因此想要拜见莱因哈特大帝,寻求一个和平的解决方法。” „Why he does not walk the regular diplomatic channel, but can look for you?” “那他为什么不走正规的外交途径,而要来找你？” „He said that he has presented the credentials, but simply has not actually received the response, therefore found me, hopes that can pass on to the emperor through me.” “他说他已经递交了国书,但却根本没有收到回应,所以才找到我,希望能通过我转告皇帝陛下。” „What did he add?” “他还说了什么？” „He said that Yeville does not want with the empire to be an enemy, moreover Mr. Wizard in the northern boundary the matter of line is the personal behavior, has not obtained the agreement of Wizard Council, Wizard Council will not tolerate casting a spell of offering sacrifices civilians to appear in the world again.” “他说耶维尔并不想与帝国为敌,而且觋先生在北境所行之事全是个人行为,并没有得到法师议会的同意,法师议会也绝不会容忍献祭平民的禁咒再出现在世上。” „Didn't have?” “没有了？” „Did not have.” “没有了。” Colin shakes the head slightly, is somewhat disappointed about this Wizard Council speaker. 柯林微微摇头,对这位法师议会的议长有些失望。 Presented the credentials, Rinehart Great Emperor is not willing to see you, conveyed a message through Vera, did your majesty meet? 递交了国书,莱因哈特大帝都不愿见你,难道通过薇拉传话,陛下就会见了？ Moreover, the passed on words absolutely do not have the key point, if Colin is Rinehart Great Emperor, will not be moved by these words. 而且,传的话根本就没有重点,如果柯林是莱因哈特大帝,也不会被这些话打动。 Let alone, now the key man of imperial capital political situation is not Rinehart Great Emperor, has not seen this emperor compelled feigning illness. 更何况,现在帝都政局的关键人物根本就不是莱因哈特大帝,没看到这位皇帝陛下都已经被逼的装病了嘛。 Looks for Rinehart Great Emperor with it, but also really might as well see Prince Reich to chat the condition directly. 与其找莱因哈特大帝,还真不如直接去见莱希亲王谈谈条件。 Colin sighed secretly, it seems like Yeville could not happen to obtain somebody's favor! 柯林暗自叹息,看来耶维尔也靠不上了啊！ Shortly , the carriage then arrives in Fenghuang Gong smoothly. 没多久,马车便顺利抵达凤凰宫。 Before arriving at the housing the side hall, Colin holds Vera to get out, then said goodbye with scholar Dawn. 来到居住的偏殿前,柯林扶着薇拉下车,然后跟道恩学士告别。 Just passed through the gate, Colin smelled a familiar fragrance. 刚进门,柯林就闻到了一股熟悉的芬芳。 Raised the head, sees Empress Midella by to visit them on the sofa slantingly with a smile. 抬起头,就见弥黛拉皇后正斜靠在沙发上笑吟吟地看着他们。 „Vera, Colin, I and others you for a long time.” “薇拉,柯林,我等你们好久了。”
