Instudy room.
书房中。DukeSt. Plossiseesownwife, asked: „Why?”圣普洛斯公爵看着自己的妻子,问道:“为什么?”
The duchesssmilesgently, said: „Intuition.”
公爵夫人温婉一笑,道:“直觉。”DukeSt. Plossisomewhatis immediately speechless.圣普洛斯公爵顿时有些无语。
The duchesssees that thenalsoadded: The information that „ wereceivenoware too few, depending onVincentandIvanstatement of only one of the parties, I am not ableto make the accuratejudgmentto the matter of alfalfacity.
公爵夫人见状,便又补充道:“我们现在收到的信息太少,光凭文森特和埃文两人的一面之词,我也无法对苜蓿城发生的事情做出准确的判断。However, wantsmeto believe that intheir two peoplewords, Iwill chooseto believeIvan. ”
不过,非要我相信他们两人中的一个的话,我还是会选择相信埃文。”DukeSt. Plossiselects the eyebrow, said: „Depends onyourintuition?”圣普洛斯公爵一挑眉,道:“就凭你的直觉?”
The duchessnodsearnestly, furtherexplained: „Do youhave the discovery, after thistimecomes back, did Vincentcome acrossis somewhat different?”
公爵夫人认真地点了点头,进一步解释道:“你有没有发现,这次回来后,文森特给人的感觉有些不一样了?”DukeSt. Plossirecalled, does not seem to perceiveexceptionally, thenasks: „Wheredifferent?”圣普洛斯公爵回想了一下,似乎并没有觉察出异常,便问道:“哪里不一样?”„Ido not talk clearly, alwaysthought that hechanges...... duchess who resembledpersonallyprobably”elegantlylightpressed , said that „, but, hedoes not dareto confrontwithyoubeforelike this, thatattitude, did not seem likeonejustto experience the disastrous defeat, the captive who was redeemedshouldhave.”
“我也说不清楚,总觉得他像是换了个人似的……”公爵夫人秀美轻蹙,又道,“不过,他以前可不敢这样跟你对峙,那种态度,不像是一个刚刚经历了惨败,被赎回来的俘虏应该有的吧。”„Isuchtohim, will have the resentmenttomebeforeafter all.”
“我之前那样对他,总归会对我些有怨气吧。”„No, is not the resentment.” The duchessshakes the head, „is the energy.”
“不,不是怨气。”公爵夫人摇摇头,“是底气。”„Energy?”
“底气?”„Yes, as ifknows that wedo not have the meansto be the same withhim.”
“是的,就仿佛知道我们拿他没办法一样。”DukeSt. Plossiself-ridiculessmiles, said: „Wealsoreallytakehimnot to have the means. NowCountHallcompelledrevolted the Pegasussailors, only thenVincentwon overhopefullyhim, ifwedo not wantto lose the barrier of angrywaterriver bank, musttake advantage ofVincent.”圣普洛斯公爵自嘲一笑,道:“我们还真拿他没办法。现在霍尔伯爵被逼的叛出了天马水军,也就只有文森特有希望将他重新拉拢回来,如果我们不想失去怒水河上的屏障,就必须依仗文森特。”
The duchessconsiderswas saying: „Ifelt,hisenergydoes not come fromCountHall.”
公爵夫人斟酌着说道:“我却觉得,他的底气不是来自霍尔伯爵。”„? What can that have?”
“哦?那还能有什么?”
„ Do not forgetbefore the tour of thissilversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, Vincenthas the support of CountHallnot only, wait/etcoverwhelming majorityeasternboundaryaristocratsstandslikeCountBuruqinandViscountAstoninhimbehind, IvanafterPrince Reichwas pursued, has almost lostthoroughlystrove for the right of inheritancewithhim the opportunity.
“别忘了在这次银月城之行前,文森特不光有霍尔伯爵的支持,像布鲁根伯爵、奥斯顿子爵等等绝大部分的东境贵族都站在他身后,埃文在莱希亲王被驱逐后,就几乎已经彻底失去了与他争夺继承权的机会。Insuchsituation, Vincentdoes not havesuchenergyto be sufficienttoday. ”
这样的情况下,文森特也没有今天这样底气充足。”DukeSt. Plossiis stroking gently the chin, as ifunderstoodwife'smeaning: „Yousay the northernboundary?”圣普洛斯公爵摩挲着下巴,似乎明白了妻子的意思:“你是说北境?”
The duchessnods, sinkingsound said: „ Right! Ido not know that actuallyVincentreachedwhatagreementwiththatCount Angelie, butCount AngeliealsoconvincedVincentto coordinatewithwhatmeans.
公爵夫人点点头,沉声道:“没错!我不知道文森特跟那位安格列伯爵究竟达成了什么协议,而安格列伯爵又是用什么办法说服文森特配合的。However, only thensuchguessismost reasonable.
但是,只有这样的猜测才是最合理的。Vincentwas killedinitially the newsis notIvancompilesblindly, the fee/spenttrulychecks the quitereliableevidencebecause of the viscount, moreoverIalsoconfirmedthisnewsthrough the relationship network of brilliancechurchin the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate.
要知道,当初文森特遇刺身亡的消息可不是埃文瞎编造的,费因子爵确实是查到了相当可靠的证据,而且我也通过光辉教会的关系网在银月城确认了这一消息。Thereforewewill be determinedto hold the high-rankIvaninitially, formulatedaimed at the retaliationplan of northernboundaryafterward.
所以我们当初才会下定决心将埃文扶上位,又制定了后来针对北境的报复计划。But looking back now, thismatterisnorth the boundarydigs a goodtraptousfrom beginning to end!
但现在看来,这件事从头到尾就是北境给我们挖好的一个陷阱!Moreover, perhapsVincent is also involved! ”
而且,文森特恐怕也参与其中!”DukeSt. Plossibrowtightwrinkle, after pondermoment, the doubtssaid: „ But why can Vincentcooperatewith the northernboundaryin that case?圣普洛斯公爵眉头紧皱,沉思片刻后,疑惑道:“但文森特为什么要在那样的情况下与北境合作呢?At that timealthoughhefailedin the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gateagain, butIvanbecause of the Prince Reichincident, is unable to threatenhisright of inheritance.
当时他虽然在银月城再次失败,但埃文因为莱希亲王一事,根本无法威胁他的继承权。So long ashewaited forusto redeemhimpatientlywere good, whycantake riskto cooperatewith the northernboundary?
他只要耐心等待我们将他赎回就行了,为什么要冒险跟北境合作?Hedoes not know,cooperateswith the northernboundary, in the futurewill also only become a being a go-betweenpuppet in St. Hildefamilyhand? ”
他难道不知道,跟北境合作,将来也只会成为圣希尔德家族手中的一个牵线木偶?”
The duchesssighed, said: „This is also the place that Icannot think through. ThereforeIsaid,Iwith the intuitionthinkVincent'swords, may not believe.”
公爵夫人叹息一声,道:“这也是我想不通的地方。所以我才说,我只是凭直觉认为文森特的话,不可信。”DukeSt. Plossialsohad a headachepressedaccording to the forehead, said: „Weknownowfew! IfIvan, or the fee/spentcame backto be goodbecause of the viscount.”圣普洛斯公爵也头疼地按了按眉心,道:“我们现在还是知道得太少!如果埃文,或者费因子爵回来就好了。”
The duchesspacesto arrive atDukeSt. Plossibehind, extends the delicate handsto hold backinhisshoulderslowly.
公爵夫人踱步来到圣普洛斯公爵身后,伸出纤手在他的肩头缓缓按压。DukeSt. Plossigrows the one breath, seemed more comfortable, after the moment, said: „ Nowwehavethreemattersto needto process.圣普洛斯公爵长出一口气,似乎舒坦了一些,片刻后道:“现在我们有三件事亟需处理。First, foundIvan, hopeshimnotbythatdamnColinAngeliecaptive;
第一,找到埃文,希望他没有被那个该死的柯林・安格列俘虏;Second, finding the wayto contact withCountHall, clarifiesreason that herebels against, and presentstandpoint, has a lookto be full of the promiseto comforthim, wins over;
第二,想办法联系霍尔伯爵,弄清楚他反叛的原因,以及现在的立场,看看有没有希望将他安抚好,重新拉拢回来;Third, makes clear the Blood Cavalry Armytrend. ”
第三,搞清楚血骑军的动向。”
The duchesscalmlylistens, opens the mouth saying: „Youthink that Blood Cavalry Armywill fordatthis time? But hasn't Upper Houseadopted the warcommand that RinehartGreat Emperorhas issued?”
公爵夫人静静听完,开口道:“你难道认为血骑军会在这个时候渡河?但元老院不是已经通过了莱因哈特大帝发布的战争令吗?”„But the warcommandmusttransmitWhite Dew Cityalsoto needsome time.”DukeSt. Plossi the visionflashes, „Ithought that youngnorthernboundaryCountwill not be resignedto shrinkin the alfalfacity.”
“但战争令要传递到白露城还需要一段时间。”圣普洛斯公爵目光闪动,“我觉得那个年轻的北境伯爵不会甘心就这么缩在苜蓿城。”„ButBlood Cavalry Armyalsoonly then20,000people, Colin does Angeliealsoprepareto depend onsuchpersonto attack a cityto seize territoryin the easternboundary?”
“但血骑军也就只有两万人呀,难道柯林・安格列还准备靠着这么点人在东境攻城略地?”„Was difficultto say.”DukeSt. Plossi the tonebecomesextremelyprudent, „thisCount Angeliesometimesworkingpowerful and unconstrained style, makingpeoplebe hardto guess. Ihave believed,heiscompared with the enemy who Marquis Garciaalsowants the danger.”
“难说。”圣普洛斯公爵语气变得极为慎重,“这个安格列伯爵有时候做事天马行空,让人难以揣测。我一直都认为,他是个比加西亚侯爵还要危险的敌人。”
The duchessshows a faint smile, said: „Do youregard as importanthimunexpectedly? Words that Ihave not remembered incorrectly, this is Count Angelieprobablyonly22 years old?”
公爵夫人微微一笑,道:“你居然这么看重他?我没记错的话,这位安格列伯爵好像才二十二岁吧?”„Yes, youngsterhero!”DukeSt. Plossisighed, suddenlysomeinterest is wanings, „ in comparison, Vincent, wasIvan, missedare too many. Hehe, to be honest, looksall daythesetwoboysstruggle, Ihave been sick.
“是啊,少年英杰啊!”圣普洛斯公爵叹息一声,突然有些意兴阑珊,“相比之下,无论是文森特,还是埃文,都差太多了。呵呵,说实话,整天看着这两个小子争来争去,我心里早就厌烦了。IfOk, the position of easternboundaryduke, theirmydoes not wantto give! ”
如果可以,东境公爵之位,他们两个我一个都不想给!”
The duchessstoppedrubbing on handto pinch, hammeredon the husbandarmlightly, as ifsomenotindignationhedirtiedoneselftwosonslike this.
公爵夫人停下了手上的揉捏,在丈夫手臂上轻锤了一下,似乎有些不忿他这样埋汰自己的两个儿子。Butimmediately, sheis saying with a smile: „Actually, ifVincentandIvanyoucannot have a liking, you have the thirdchoice.”
但随即,她就笑着道:“其实,如果文森特和埃文你都看不上,你还有第三个选择。”„YousayAnna?”DukeSt. Plossiis thinkingownyoungest daughter, shakes the headto sayimmediately, „Annais not good, shewas too pure.”
“你是说安娜?”圣普洛斯公爵想着自己的小女儿,随即摇摇头道,“安娜可不行,她太单纯了。”„What's the big deal? Shenowis the fifth-orderknight, moreoverIcanlook,shehas traced the thresholds of sixsteps, it is estimated thatpromotionalsointhese1-2 years.”
“那又如何?她现在已经是五阶骑士了,而且我能看出来,她已经摸到了六阶的门槛,估计晋升也就在这1-2了。”„Really?”DukeSt. Plossiis not then ableto maintaincalm, immediatelygrabswife'shand, askedpleasantly surprised.
“真的?”圣普洛斯公爵这下无法保持冷静了,立刻抓住了妻子的手,惊喜地问道。„Naturallyreal.” The duchessis proud, „ suchyoungsixstepknights, Annawill visit the Saintterritoryin the future are almost the things of being settled.
“当然是真的。”公爵夫人一脸骄傲,“这么年轻的六阶骑士,安娜将来踏足圣域几乎是板上钉钉的事情。So long asshecanbecome the Saintknight, purepointhow?
而只要她能成为圣骑士,单纯一点又如何?Hasher , does the northernboundarydareeasilyto cross the angrywaterriver? ”
有她在,北境敢轻易越过怒水河吗?”DukeSt. Plossi the visionflashes, seems really consideringby the possibility of ownyoungest daughterinherit title.圣普洛斯公爵目光闪动,似乎真的在考虑让自己小女儿继承爵位的可能性。At this moment, knockinterrupted the train of thought of duke.
就在这时,一阵敲门声打断了公爵的思绪。„Comes.”
“进来。”
The stewardspush the doorto enter, givesDukeSt. Plossi a letter, the mouthmiddle course: „Master, thisis the dispatch that mailsfromWaterfront City.”
管家推门而入,将一份信件交给圣普洛斯公爵,口中道:“老爷,这是从临水城寄来的紧急信件。”DukeSt. Plossiput out a handto receive, after sweepingone, said: „Hehe, Iguessright! Blood Cavalry Armyreallyeast-bound, nowoccupiesWaterfront City.”圣普洛斯公爵伸手接过,扫了一遍后道:“呵呵,我猜的没错!血骑军果然东进了,现在已经占据了临水城。”
The duchessstares at the letter in husbandhand, the sinkingsoundis asking: „Weevadeitsfronttemporarily, after your majestywarcommandarrives, theynaturallycanreturn the northernboundary, is......”
公爵夫人凝视着丈夫手中的信件,沉声问道:“那我们是暂避其锋,等陛下的战争令抵达后他们自然会退回北境,还是……”„Naturallyinitiates an attack!”DukeSt. Plossicoldly said that „, sincecame, do not wanteasilyto leave the easternboundary!”
“当然是主动出击!”圣普洛斯公爵冷冷道,“既然来了,就别想轻易离开东境!”
