„Egypt...... Count Ivan......”
“埃……埃文伯爵……”
The voice of CountBuruqinsomewhatshivers, heunderstandswhyat this timefinallyCount Ivanhas hidden the whereabouts.
布鲁根伯爵的声音都有些颤抖,他此时终于明白埃文伯爵为什么一直隐藏行踪了。Originally, he secrethad returned toWhite Dew Cityfrom the northernboundary, moreoverperhapshad reached the agreementwithDukeSt. Plossi!
原来,他早已秘密从北境回到了白露城,而且恐怕已经跟圣普洛斯公爵达成了共识!Thereforein the meeting in Bailufort, the fee/spentwill raisebecause of the viscounta moment agoradicallyhas not raisedmarquisVincentpossiblyto be killed the incident.
所以刚才在白露堡的会见中,费因子爵才会根本提都没提文森特侯爵可能遇刺身亡一事。DukeSt. Plossisuchneat, vigorous and resolute can only explain that a matter- hehad confirmed the death news of oneselfeldest sonmarquisVincent, was determinedto supportsecond sonCount Ivanto become the titlesuccessor.圣普洛斯公爵那样的干脆利落,雷厉风行只能说明一件事-他已经确认了自己长子文森特侯爵的死讯,下定决心扶持次子埃文伯爵成为爵位继承人了。
After awakeningthis point, the complexionnaked eye of CountBuruqinis obviously pale, in the eyealsoappearsslowly the desperatecolor.
醒悟到这一点后,布鲁根伯爵的脸色肉眼可见地苍白起来,眼中也慢慢浮现出绝望之色。Silent after long time, heopening the mouthastringentsound said:
沉默半晌后,他才开口涩声道:„Count Ivan, your iscomes to seeusto laugh?”
“埃文伯爵,您这是来看我们笑话的吗?”Count Ivanshakes the headslowly, sinkingsound said: „No. Iwantavoidanceto make the easternboundary a joke.”埃文伯爵缓缓摇头,沉声道:“不。我只是想要避免让东境成为一个笑话。”CountBuruqinknits the brows, puzzledlookstoCount Ivan, obviouslyhas not understoodhismeaning.
布鲁根伯爵皱了皱眉,一脸疑惑地看向埃文伯爵,显然没有明白他的意思。Count Ivanhoweversat downon the seatleisurely, carriesfrontcoffeeto drinkone, immediatelysaid with a smile: „CountBuruqin, youare so intelligent, has guessed correctly the truth?”埃文伯爵施施然在座位上坐下,端起面前的咖啡喝了一口,随即才笑道:“布鲁根伯爵,您这么聪明,想必已经猜到事情的真相了吧?”CountBuruqinnodsbitterly and astringently, said: „Should marquisVincentdiein the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate?”
布鲁根伯爵苦涩地点点头,道:“文森特侯爵应该已经死在银月城了吧?”Count Ivannods, said: „ Yes. MythatpitifulElder Brother, hetodyingis not possibly ableto believe,oneselfdiesingoing crazyhalfelfunexpectedly.埃文伯爵点点头,道:“是的。我那可怜的哥哥,他到死可能都无法相信,自己竟然死在一个发疯的半精灵手里。CountBuruqinwantsto ask that actuallymarquisVincenthowdies, buthas words on the tip of the tonguesuddenlyfeels a not being able to saypowerless feeling, then the interest is waningshuts up.
布鲁根伯爵本想问问文森特侯爵究竟是怎么死的,但话到嘴边却突然感到一阵说不出的无力感,便又意兴阑珊地闭上了嘴。At this timeintertwinedthese is also usefulagain?
这时候再纠结这些又有什么用呢?MarquisVincentdies, thatCount Ivanwill succeed the easternboundarydukein the futureis the matter of being settled, a Buruqinfamilymanyyears of painstaking careis destroyed in a momentthoroughly.
文森特侯爵一死,那埃文伯爵将来继任东境公爵就是板上钉钉的事情了,布鲁根家族多年的心血彻底毁于一旦。Count Ivanlooksto lower the headsilentCountBuruqin, thenopens the mouthto comfortto sayon own initiative: „CountBuruqin, just likeIsaida moment ago,I come here not to come to seeyouto laugh, on the contrary, Iwantto avoid the easternboundarybecoming a joke.”埃文伯爵看着低头沉默的布鲁根伯爵,便主动开口安慰道:“布鲁根伯爵,正如我刚才所说,我来到这里不是来看您笑话的,相反,我是想避免东境成为一个笑话。”CountBuruqindeeplyinspires, spunks up, asked: „Iam not quite clearyourmeaning.”
布鲁根伯爵深吸一口气,重新打起精神来,问道:“我不太明白您的意思。”Count Ivanalsono longercircled, spoke frankly: „Iknow that the easternboundarymanyaristocrats are actually my brother'ssupporters, includingyou, no matterbutyoubelieveordo not believe that Ihave not hatedyoufrom beginning to end, will not retaliatein the future.”埃文伯爵也不再兜圈子了,直言道:“我知道东境很多贵族其实都是我哥哥的支持者,包括您在内,但不管您信或不信,我自始至终都没有怨恨你们,更不会在将来进行打击报复。”CountBuruqinlooks atCount Ivanunemotionally, withoutspeech.
布鲁根伯爵面无表情地看着埃文伯爵,没有说话。Actuallyeasternboundaryaristocratoverwhelming majoritysupportmarquisVincentalsoto have the reason.
其实东境贵族绝大部分都支持文森特侯爵也是有原因的。MarquisVincentcompared withCount Ivanenoughbigten years old.
文森特侯爵比埃文伯爵足足大了十岁。BeforeCount Ivanwas born, enoughtenyears, DukeSt. Plossionly has a son of first wife.
在埃文伯爵出生之前,足足有十年的时间,圣普洛斯公爵只有一位嫡子。Insuchsituation, DukeSt. Plossialsosets upVincentfor the easternboundarymarquisearly, confirmed his firstsuccessorstatusofficially.
这样的情况下,圣普洛斯公爵也早早地将文森特立为东境侯爵,正式确认了他的第一继承人身份。At that timealmost alleasternboundaryaristocratsthinkVincentwill become the easternboundaryduke of future, therefore, so long aswere not sillystarts the upfront investment.
当时几乎所有的东境贵族都认为文森特会成为未来的东境公爵,所以,只要不傻都开始提前投资了。For exampleCountHallrushedto marrymarquisVincent the daughter, for exampleBuruqinfamily, the outstandingjuniors in clanalmostfollowedinmarquisVincentabout.
比如霍尔伯爵就抢着将自己女儿嫁给了文森特侯爵,又比如布鲁根家族,族中的优秀子弟几乎都追随在文森特侯爵左右。Regardingthissituation, DukeSt. Plossidoes not haveexcessivelyto intervene, after allheat that timetrulyonly then such a son.
对于这种情况,圣普洛斯公爵也没有过多干预,毕竟他当时确实只有这么一个儿子。Even ifactuallyIvanwere bornafterward, DukeSt. Plossihas not replaced the thought of successor, evenwith the lapse of time, hestilldiscovered that oneselfsecond sonis actually more intelligent.
其实哪怕后来埃文诞生,圣普洛斯公爵也没有更换继承人的念头,即便随着时间的推移,他也发现自己的次子其实更聪明一些。ButDukeSt. Plossialsounderstands,wastelongstandsyoung, will go wrong.
但圣普洛斯公爵也明白,废长立幼,是会出乱子的。Thesehave not been willingto look at the Ivanhigh-rankin the easternboundaryaristocrat who onmarquisVincentbet.
那些早已在文森特侯爵身上下注的东境贵族是不会愿意看着埃文上位的。Therefore, initially when the firstsilver moonwas chaotic, marquisVincentreceives an order the shadowcanyonambushto ride the armyblack, thisobviouslyiswhitecollect the opportunity of brushing the prestige, butCount Ivanwas actually sent the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, processes the aspect that almostmustlose.
所以,当初第一次银月之乱时,文森特侯爵领命去暗影峡谷埋伏黑骑军,这明显是白捡的一个刷声望的机会,而埃文伯爵却被打发去银月城,去处理一个几乎必输的局面。ThisdifferencetreatedalsorespondedDukeSt. Plossiattitudestotwosons.
这种差别对待也反应了圣普洛斯公爵对两个儿子的态度。Butafterward the developmentwas not as everyone expected.
但后来事情的发展却出乎所有人的预料。MarquisVincentdefeats the reputationillustriousblackto ride the armyin the shadowcanyon, after captivenorthernboundary'sfirstwar-godMarquis Garcia, seemed somewhat floating, independently decidesto dispatch troopsto attack the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, whatstartledfalls downclose tois, healsodefeatedinalways the emaciatedhalfelfandunknownColinunexpectedlyinAngelie.
文森特侯爵在暗影峡谷击败声名赫赫的黑骑军,俘虏北境第一战神加西亚侯爵后,似乎有些飘飘然了,自作主张发兵攻打银月城,更让人惊掉下巴的是,他竟然还败在了向来孱弱的半精灵和名不见经传的柯林・安格列手里。Andis the disastrous defeat.
而且是惨败。
The Pegasusregimentis annihilated, evenmarquisVincentalsobecameColin'scaptive.
天马军团全军覆没,连文森特侯爵自己也成了柯林的俘虏。Suchattack, making the thoughts of DukeSt. Plossistartto vacillate.
这样的打击,让圣普洛斯公爵的心思开始动摇。AlthoughmarquisVincentwas redeemedafterwardsmoothly, butDukeSt. Plossiobviouslyhas the idea of replacementsuccessor.
虽然后来文森特侯爵被顺利赎回,但圣普洛斯公爵明显已经有了更换继承人的想法。Women's of engagementCount IvanandPrince Reich, is the evident proof.埃文伯爵与莱希亲王之女订婚一事,就是明证。
The easternboundaryaristocratmostlyhas betonmarquisVincent, theyare impossibleto supportDukeSt. Plossito replace the successor, therefore, DukeSt. Plossialsohasto helpownsecond sonlook for a powerfulforeign aid.
东境贵族大多已经在文森特侯爵身上下了注,他们不可能支持圣普洛斯公爵更换继承人,所以,圣普洛斯公爵也只好帮自己的次子找一个强力外援。What a pity, the human affairsis variable, the Count Ivanpowerfulforeign aidalsohad/left the accident/surpriseunexpectedly.
可惜,世事无常,埃文伯爵的强力外援竟然也出了意外。East an numerous the boundaryaristocratrelaxesimmediately, thinks that the matterhas the favorable turnagain, buttheyhave not thought,marquisVincent of being unwillingranunexpectedly the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, before withoutsucceedingsnow , the shamedid not say, but alsobuilt.
一众东境贵族顿时松了口气,以为事情再次出现转机,但他们怎么也没有想到,心有不甘的文森特侯爵居然又跑去了银月城,没有成功一雪前耻不说,还将自己又搭了进去。Thisthree waves to a single stroke, the dogbloodreverselets the easternboundaryaristocratincludingCountBuruqinby the attack, exhaustedunderdoes not knowhowunexpectedlyshouldface the presentaspect.
这种一波三折,上上下下的狗血反转让包括布鲁根伯爵在内的东境贵族备受打击,心力交瘁之下竟不知该如何面对如今的局面。Even ifthislittle whileCount Ivanpledgedface to facepersonallycannotretaliate, but how CountBuruqincaneasilybelieve.
哪怕这会儿埃文伯爵当面亲口承诺不会打击报复,但布鲁根伯爵又怎么敢轻易相信。Initiallytoguarantee the right of inheritance of marquisVincentwas not threatened, east the boundaryaristocratincluding a CountBuruqinnumerousoncespare no effortattackedto push asideCount Ivan, compelledhehas toseek forPrince Reichsuchforeign aid.
要知道,当初为了确保文森特侯爵的继承权不受威胁,包括布鲁根伯爵在内的一众东境贵族可是曾不遗余力地打击排挤埃文伯爵,逼的他不得不去寻找莱希亲王这样的外援。
The entireeasternboundarybesidessimilarfee/spentbecause of the familythisnottoowell-respectededgefamily, the almostmostaristocratencircledoffendsCount Ivan.
整个东境除了类似费因家族这样本来就不太受重视的边缘家族外,几乎大半个贵族圈都将埃文伯爵得罪了。Insuchsituation, the Count Ivanhigh-rank, is very likelyto evolveis a politicaldisaster.
这样的情况下,埃文伯爵的上位,极有可能会演变为一场政治灾难。Count Ivan is also naturally well aware, therefore, looks at the lookto drift away, CountBuruqin who the complexiontransformsunceasingly, heejectedblockbusterdecisively„bomb”:埃文伯爵自然也对此心知肚明,所以,看着眼神游离,面色不断变换的布鲁根伯爵,他果断抛出了一个重磅“炸弹”:„CountBuruqin, your daughterMissGraceis solemn, loftybeautiful, Iactuallyhave the admire, discusses marriagetoyouspeciallyofficially!”
“布鲁根伯爵,您的女儿格蕾丝小姐端庄贤淑,高雅美丽,我其实早已心生爱慕,特此向您正式提亲!”CountBuruqinstaredin a big way the eye, cannotbelieveownearsimply.
布鲁根伯爵瞪大了眼睛,简直不敢相信自己的耳朵。ButCount Ivanhad stoodfrom the seat, firstisbows a ritual, thenassumesin front ofonevolume of personally written lettersCountBuruqinrespectfully.
但埃文伯爵已经从座位上站了起来,先是躬身一礼,然后恭恭敬敬地将一卷手札呈到布鲁根伯爵面前。CountBuruqinreceivedto openlooks, discovered that this is really a marriage certificate, moreoverabovehas the genuine signature of DukeSt. Plossiimpressively.
布鲁根伯爵接过打开一看,发现这果然是一份婚书,而且上面赫然有着圣普洛斯公爵的亲笔签名。„That...... female of MissSallyPrince Reich......”
“那……莱希亲王之女莎莉娅小姐……”„ConsideringPrince Reichin the Royal Dragon Citypersongodindignantaction, the fatheropenlywill altogether announce that cancelsme and MissSallyengagement!”
“鉴于莱希亲王在御龙城人神共愤的举动,父亲将公开宣布取消我与莎莉娅小姐的婚约!”CountBuruqindecideslooks atCount Ivan, obviouslywas hitto be caught off guardbysuchchange.
布鲁根伯爵定定地看着埃文伯爵,显然被这样的变化打了个措手不及。Count Ivanis also staring at the eyes of CountBuruqin, saidearnestly: „CountBuruqin, Ihave displayedmysincerity, now, was one's turnyou.”埃文伯爵也凝视着布鲁根伯爵的眼睛,认真地说道:“布鲁根伯爵,我已经展现了我的诚意,现在,轮到您了。”
The complexion of CountBuruqinhad the changefinally.
布鲁根伯爵的脸色终于有了变化。Hecloselygripsstops the sheepskinvolume, deeplyinspires, sinkingsound said:
他紧紧攥住手中的羊皮卷,深吸一口气,沉声道:„Good! SinceCount Ivanyousoregard as important the daughter, Iwill certainly not opposethiswedding.”
“好!既然埃文伯爵您如此看重小女,那我当然不会反对这桩婚事。”
The Count Ivanshow/unfoldsfacesmiles, said: „Father-in-lawSir, Iam superficialin the foundation of easternboundary, lateralsowantedyouto take the troublemuch!”埃文伯爵展颜一笑,道:“岳父大人,我在东境的根基浅薄,以后还要您多多费心了!”„Pleaserelax, Iwill helpyou11comfortthesearistocrats, makingthemunderstand, the years of marquisVincenthad passed by, youwill beeast the future of boundary!”At this point, CountBuruqinknits the browssuddenly, said that „, but, there is a personperhaps......”
“请放心,我会帮您一一安抚那些贵族,让他们明白,文森特侯爵的时代已经过去了,您才是东境的未来!”说到这里,布鲁根伯爵忽然皱了皱眉,道,“不过,有一个人恐怕……”„WhatyousaidisCountHall?”Count Ivan the connectionsaysimmediately.
“您说的是霍尔伯爵吧?”埃文伯爵立刻接口道。„Right. After allhis daughtermarriedVincent......”
“没错。毕竟他的女儿嫁给了文森特……”Count Ivansmilesself-confidently, saidlightly:埃文伯爵自信一笑,淡淡地说道:„This should not be worried, Ihave the arrangementtoHallfamily.”
“这个您就不要担心了,我对霍尔家族已经有了安排。”
