The dim light of nightis deep.
夜色深沉。DukeSt. Plossistandsin the balcony in Bailufortlooks into the distancetoward the distant place.圣普洛斯公爵站在白露堡的阳台上往远处眺望。Position that standsfromhim, cansee the tactical situation that East cityslaughtersindistinctly.
从他所站的位置,能够隐约地看到东城厮杀的战况。AlthoughBlood Cavalry Armyfierceincomparable, butalsostillfell into the Pegasusregimentto constructin a goodlayer upon layerdefense linecarefully.血骑军虽然勇猛无比,但也依然陷入了天马军团精心构筑好的一层层防线中。Naturally, DukeSt. Plossi is also very clear, ifreallymustnorth the boundarycavalrythiskeepWhite Dew Citythoroughly, perhaps the easternboundaryis goingto pay the extremelyfrigidprice.
当然,圣普洛斯公爵也很清楚,如果真要将这支北境骑兵彻底留在白露城,东境恐怕将要付出极为惨烈的代价。Evenfought the paidprice the shadowcanyoninitiallyis more fearful.
甚至比当初暗影峡谷一战所付出的代价还要可怕。ButDukeSt. Plossi is still actually determined to carry outthisplan.
但圣普洛斯公爵却依然下定决心要执行这个计划。Becauseheunderstands, the significance that thisfightsand is not only to annihilatethisless than20,000people of cavalries, butmustcapture a northernboundarysharpestcanine!
因为他明白,这一战的意义并不仅仅在于歼灭这支不足两万人的骑兵,而是要拔掉北境最锋利的一颗尖牙!Whatis more important, thisregarding the easternboundary, the significanceis more significant.
更重要的是,这对于东境来说,意义更加重大。
The easternboundaryarmydeteriorationmanyyears, are not just becauselack a hone.
东境军队积弱多年,不正是因为缺少一块磨刀石。Thistime, DukeSt. PlossimustuseBlood Cavalry Armythishardesthone, helping the easternboundaryforgeblood and ironto strengthen the armed forces!
这一次,圣普洛斯公爵要用血骑军这块最硬的磨刀石,帮东境锻造出一支铁血强军!As forthesein„mill knife”inprocess, soonconsumedlifeandflesh, looks likeinDukeSt. Plossi, is the price that east the boundarymustpay.
至于那些在“磨刀”过程中,即将被消耗的生命和血肉,在圣普洛斯公爵看来,也是东境必须付出的代价。Thisis the cold bloodandrenouncing that a wisefeudal lordmusthave.
这是一位英明的领主必须具备的冷血和决绝。
The lithesound of footstepsresoundsin the back, the familiarrosefragrancemakesDukeSt. Plossinot needthenalsoto guess correctly the status of person.
轻盈的脚步声在背后响起,熟悉的玫瑰香味让圣普洛斯公爵不用回头也猜到来人的身份。Really, sees the duchessto step the gracefulstep, stands firmside the husband.
果然,就见公爵夫人迈着娉婷的步伐,在丈夫身边站定。Shelooked atflame in a city, said with a smile:
她望了一眼城中的火光,笑道:„It seems likeBlood Cavalry Armyreallyhas not reached the goal, is not willingto give up!”
“看来血骑军还真是不达目的,不肯罢休啊!”DukeSt. Plossismilescontentedly, said: „ Naturally. Hallfamilywas too importantregarding the northernboundary, sothisBlood Cavalry Armyis unable to pickthesepeoplefromWhite Dew Citysmoothly, the northernboundaryis unable to control the angrywaterriverthoroughly.圣普洛斯公爵自得一笑,道:“当然。霍尔家族对于北境来说太重要了,如此这次血骑军无法顺利从白露城接走那些人,北境就始终无法彻底掌控怒水河。Butwe, there arepersuaded the chip that CountHallchanged an attitude. ”
而我们,也有了劝说霍尔伯爵回心转意的筹码。”„Do youreallyplanto forgiveHallfamily?”
“你真的打算宽恕霍尔家族?”„My do someelect?”DukeSt. Plossisaidwith clenched jaws,„angrywaterriverwas too importantregarding the easternboundary, CountHallthatold thingdid not seethis point, startsthisrevoltingsecurely!”
“我有的选吗?”圣普洛斯公爵咬牙切齿地说道,“怒水河对于东境来说太重要了,霍尔伯爵那个老东西不就是看准了这一点,才有恃无恐地发动这次叛变的嘛!”
The duchesssighed, helplesssaid: „As the matter stands, the Vincent'sfirstsuccessorpositionis unable to shakeagain.”
公爵夫人叹息一声,无奈道:“这样一来,那文森特的第一继承人地位就再也无法撼动了。”Hearsthissaying, DukeSt. Plossiturns the headsuddenly, is staring atwife'ssideface, asked: „Whyinitially do youwantto encouragemeto replace the successor?”
听到这话,圣普洛斯公爵忽然转过头来,凝视着妻子的侧颜,问道:“当初你为什么要鼓动我换掉继承人?”„Naturallybecause ofVincentinsilversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gatedisastrous defeat.” The duchessspoke thoughtlesslyto reply, „were you regret?”
“当然是因为文森特在银月城的惨败啊。”公爵夫人随口答道,“你是不是后悔了?”DukeSt. Plossihas not madethisissuejump oversimply , to continue to pursueasks: „ No, youscrew up the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gatecampaignbeforeVincent, had once revealedtohisis unhappy.圣普洛斯公爵却没有让这个问题这么简单地跳过去,继续追问道:“不,你在文森特搞砸银月城战役之前,就曾表露过对他的不喜。Moreover, why the fee/spentcanwin overbyIvanbecause of the family, reallythinks that mywhatdoesn't know? ”
而且,费因家族到底为什么能被埃文拉拢过去,真以为我什么都不知道吗?”
The duchessvisionflashes, seemed said the concern.
公爵夫人目光闪动,似乎被说中了心事。Sheraised the headseveralwispsbynight winddishevel after beautiful hairgathers togetherto the ear, probablyis concealingownafraid, said with a smile: „Right, Itrulydo not likeVincent.”
她抬头将几缕被夜风吹乱的秀发拢到耳后,像是在掩饰自己的心虚,笑道:“没错,我确实不太喜欢文森特。”„Why?”
“为什么?”
The duchessturns the head, is facingoneselfhusband, said: „ Did youforget? Vincentis I am with on firstchild, because ofnoexperience, sufferedmanyhardships, therefore, comparedinafterwardIvanandAnna, ItrulyinsufficientlylikedaboutVincent.
公爵夫人转过头来,面对着自己的丈夫,道:“你忘了吗?文森特是我怀上的第一个孩子,因为没什么经验,吃了很多苦头,所以,相比于后来的埃文和安娜,我确实对文森特不够喜爱。Naturally, thisismy ownissue, as mother, Ishould notsuchbias...... ”
当然,这是我自己的问题,作为母亲,我不该这样偏心……”„Right?”DukeSt. Plossicalmlylooksownwife'sface, does not know that believes a littlelaughableexplanation that shegives, did ask„thatIvanimmediately?”
“是吗?”圣普洛斯公爵静静地看着自己妻子的脸庞,也不知道有没有相信她给出的这个有点可笑的解释,随即又问道“那埃文呢?”„What?” The duchessgawkedstaring.
“什么?”公爵夫人愣了愣。„Couple days ago didn't youalsourgemeto makeAnnainherit the easternboundaryduke?”DukeSt. Plossiwithcarefully examining the visionseesownwife, „how did Ivanloseyourlove?”
“前几天你不是又劝我让安娜继承东境公爵?”圣普洛斯公爵用审视的目光看着自己的妻子,“埃文又怎么失去你的宠爱了?”„Thatis notbecausehisplacesdisappointedus, the alfalfacityandFire Velvet Army, includingmaking a decision without authorizationto call the feudal lordto tryto siegeColinAngelie, thereforeIfelt,perhapshedid not become the optiman of easternboundaryduke.”
“那不是因为他一次次地让我们失望了嘛,苜蓿城、火绒军、包括擅作主张召集领主试图围困柯林・安格列,所以我才觉得,或许他也不是成为东境公爵的最佳人选。”„Right?”
“是吗?”„Right. MoreoverAnnaprogresses by leaps and boundson the say/way of knight, extremelyhopefulpromotionSaintterritory, is inherited the position of easternboundarydukebyher, istruly a goodchoice.”
“对啊。而且安娜在骑士之道上突飞猛进,极有希望晋升圣域,由她来继承东境公爵之位,也是确实一个不错的选择。”„Merelyso?”
“仅仅如此吗?”„Otherwise?” A duchessfacesaidnaturally,whatimmediatelysheas ifremembered, suddenly asked that „right, speaking ofAnna, youinquiredherwhereabout?”
“不然呢?”公爵夫人一脸理所当然地说道,随即她似乎想起了什么,突然问道,“对了,说到安娜,你打探到她的下落了吗?”Sees the wifeto tryto shift the topicagain, DukeSt. Plossilost the patiencefinally, the sinkingsound said: „Ok, Kate, do not installagain, Ihave completely understoodyourmethod!”
见妻子再次试图转移话题,圣普洛斯公爵终于失去了耐心,沉声道:“行了,凯特,不要再装了,我已经看透了你们的手段!”
The duchessgawkedstaring, then a facesees the husbandbewilderedly, asked: „Whatinstalls? Whatmethod?”
公爵夫人愣了愣,然后一脸莫名其妙地看着丈夫,问道:“装什么?什么手段?”DukeSt. Plossisneers saying: „ Any firstembryoproductiondifficulty, the disastrous defeat under whatsilversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, thesegave a pretext!圣普洛斯公爵冷笑道:“什么第一胎生产困难,什么银月城下的惨败,这些都是借口!Youdo not wantto makeVincentinherit the reason of position of easternboundaryduketruly , because hemarriedHallfamily'swoman! ”
你真正不想让文森特继承东境公爵之位的原因,是因为他娶了霍尔家族的女人!”Does not wait for the duchessto open the mouthto argue,DukeSt. Plossicontinues saying:
不等公爵夫人开口辩解,圣普洛斯公爵就继续说道:
„ Ivan is also same, the alfalfacityandFire Velvet Army...... theseare the seeminglyreasonableexcuses, in fact, sinceIopenlyannounced after heandBuruqinfamily'sGracebecomes engaged, youstartto make a veiled attackurgemeto changeverticalAnnafor the firstsuccessor!
“埃文也是一样,苜蓿城、火绒军……这些都是看似合理的借口,实际上,自从我公开宣布他与布鲁根家族的格蕾丝订婚之后,你就开始旁敲侧击地劝我改立安娜为第一继承人!Therefore, notwho who youcare aboutworks aseast this boundaryduke, butiseast the spouse of boundarydukeiswho!
所以,你在乎的并不是谁来当这个东境公爵,而是东境公爵的配偶是谁!IfIhave not guessedwrong, youshouldhelpAnnalook for a believerhusband? ”
如果我没有猜错,你应该已经帮安娜物色好了一位教徒丈夫了吧?”„You...... youlooked that like thismy......” the body of duchesstremblesslightly, seems unable to believe that the husband is actually suchevil intentionguesses himself.
“你……你就是这样看我的吗……”公爵夫人的身体微微发抖,仿佛无法相信丈夫竟然是这样恶意揣测自己。„Not?”St. PlossiDukecoldsnort/hum, sees the whole facesufferingwife, hisinnermost feelings are actually similar to the iron stoneto be generally hard, „Ireallyregrettedto listen toyournonsenseinitially! IfIfirmlyhave safeguardedVincent'sright of inheritance, thatpresentall thesewill not happen......”
“难道不是吗?”圣普洛斯公爵冷哼一声,看着满脸委屈的妻子,他的内心却如同铁石一般坚硬,“我真后悔当初听了你的鬼话!如果我一直坚定地维护文森特的继承权,那现在的这一切都不会发生……”„Hehe!” The duchesssneerssuddenly, said,„so that's how it is, youwantto advancemyhead the responsibility!”
“呵呵!”公爵夫人忽然冷笑一声,道,“原来如此,你这是想把责任都推到我的头上!”„Sufficed!”DukeSt. Plossilowersroars, grasps firmlywife'sarmfuriously, „ Kate, youdisappointedme!
“够了!”圣普洛斯公爵低吼一声,怒不可遏地攥住妻子的手臂,“凯特,你太让我失望了!YoumarryintoSt. Plossifamilyso manyyears, but alsogives birth tothreechildrenforme, but a heartactuallyturns toward the churchthroughout!
你嫁入圣普洛斯家族这么多年,还为我生下三个孩子,但一颗心却始终向着教会!Naturally, thisalsohad nothing, after all the St. Plossifamilyitself/Benis the faithfulally under Popecrown.
当然,这本来也没什么,毕竟圣普洛斯家族本就是教皇冕下的忠实盟友。However, youthousandshould notten thousandnot should, should not have the idea of mysuccessor! ”
但是,你千不该万不该,不该打我的继承人的主意!”Does not know that was madeto hurt the armbyDukeSt. Plossi, was saidconcern, the complexion of duchessis gradually pale.
不知道是被圣普洛斯公爵弄疼了手臂,还是被说中了心事,公爵夫人的脸色渐渐苍白起来。With hardshiphow in shethinks to the husband in violent anger explained that rapidsound of footstepssuddenly resounds.
就在她苦苦思索该如何向暴怒中的丈夫解释时,一阵急促的脚步声突然响起。
The stewardssee the atmosphere in balcony is not quite as if rightfrom afar, properly speakingheshould notgo forwardto disturb, but the situationis urgentat this time, hecould not attend tothese, thenbraced oneself the past.
管家远远地看见阳台上的氛围似乎不太对劲,按理说他不应该上前打扰,但此时情况紧急,他也顾不上这些了,便硬着头皮走了过去。DukeSt. Plossidrinksto askill-humoredly:圣普洛斯公爵没好气地喝问道:„Whatmatter?”
“什么事?”Stewarddoes not dareto lift, saidwithshiver the tone:
管家头也不敢抬,用颤抖地语气说道:„Master, Young MasterVincent...... he...... hewas killedinHallfamily!”
“老爷,文森特少爷……他……他在霍尔家族遇刺身亡了!”
