Bailu fort. 白露堡。 Quiet at dead of night. 夜深人静。 Early winter season, climate already somewhat cold, in the air is fluttering the flavor of light cordate telosma, silent is comforting in the castle the people anxiously innermost feelings. 初冬时节,气候已经有些寒冷,空气中飘荡着淡淡的夜兰香的味道,无声地抚慰着城堡中众人焦躁地内心。 „Duchess!” “公爵夫人！” „Hasn't Vincent waked?” “文森特还没有醒过来吗？” „Did not have......” “还没有……” The marchioness whole face was sad, bites the lip to say anything, but looks that the duchess dignified complexion does not dare to say. 侯爵夫人满脸哀伤,咬着嘴唇想要说什么,但看着公爵夫人凝重的脸色又没敢说出来。 „I must use the healing technique for the marquis, you first go out.” The duchess waves to say. “我要为侯爵施展治疗术,你们先出去吧。”公爵夫人挥挥手道。 „Yes.” “是。” The marchioness and a maidservant drew back quietly, in the room was left over the duchess and marquis Vincent two people. 侯爵夫人和一众侍女悄悄退了出去,房间中就剩下了公爵夫人和文森特侯爵两人。 The duchess sits down on hospital bed nearby armchair, calmly sees the son in deep sleep. 公爵夫人在病床旁边的扶手椅子上坐下,静静地看着沉睡中的儿子。 Marquis Vincent lies down on the hospital bed face up, the body is covering the pure white cotton-wadded quilt, the surface like the white paper, the breath is weak, as if the next second must cut off, but has not swallowed that final one breath. 文森特侯爵仰面躺在病床上,身上遮盖着纯白色的棉被,面如白纸,呼吸微弱,仿佛下一秒就要断绝,但偏偏又始终没有咽下那最后一口气。 „My child...... your why this supports...... duchess to put out a hand in marquis Vincent on the face to caress by strenuous efforts” gently, in the look loves dearly with completely puzzled, but quick was strengthened and replaced indifferently. “我的孩子……你又何必这样苦苦支撑呢……”公爵夫人伸手在文森特侯爵脸上轻轻抚过,眼神中满是心疼和不解,但很快就又被坚定和冷漠取代。 „Do not worry, mother will help you extricate...... you not to blame mother quickly being cruel-hearted, this was the necessary sacrifice. Only by doing so, we can win me to advocate the vision of gaze.” “别担心,母亲很快就会帮你解脱……你也别怪母亲狠心,这是必要的牺牲。唯有如此,我们才能重新赢得吾主注视的目光。” Then, the duchess holds their palms together, made a prayer silently, then extends the right hand, the index finger in marquis Vincent on the forehead, tip of the nose and lip gently a point. 说完,公爵夫人双手合十,默默做了一个祷告,然后伸出右手,食指在文森特侯爵额头、鼻尖、嘴唇上轻轻一点。 The light Saint light the place of selecting fills the air in her fingertip, making marquis Vincent the pale face in an instant holy incomparable. 淡淡的圣光在她指尖所点之处弥漫开来,让文森特侯爵苍白的面庞刹那间变得圣洁无比。 If there are to the church god technique has the understood person here, will discover, the duchess displays, at all is not the healing technique, but lets the pray technique that the deceased person rests! 如果有对教会神术有所了解的人在此,就会发现,公爵夫人所施展的,根本不是治疗术,而是让死人安息的祈祷术！ The Saint light is gradually dim, the duchess pulls out a fine small bottle from the bosom. 圣光渐渐黯淡下来,公爵夫人又从怀中掏出一个精致的小瓶。 The bottle is installs the holy water the bottle, but inside is anything, only then duchess knew. 瓶子是装圣水的瓶子,但里面到底是什么,就只有公爵夫人自己知道了。 But in the duchess prepares in the bottle the water feeds marquis Vincent in the mouth, the door suddenly is sounded. 但就在公爵夫人准备将瓶中水喂入文森特侯爵口中时,房门突然被人敲响。 A duchess brow wrinkle, still pours into marquis Vincent the water in the mouth, then sets out to open the door, said: 公爵夫人眉头一皱,依然将水灌入文森特侯爵口中,然后才起身打开房门,道: „Did not say do not disturb me at this time?” “不是说了不要在这个时候打扰我吗？” The stewards apologized again and again, but the report said: „Madame, bluish green green jade silk young lady just entered a city!” 管家连连道歉,但还是汇报道:“夫人,碧翠丝小姐刚刚进城了！” „bluish green green jade silk......” duchess complexion changes, as if remembered what not good recollection, immediately is gloomy the face to walk outward. “碧翠丝……”公爵夫人脸色一变,似乎想起了什么不好的回忆,随即阴沉着脸向外走去。 Arrives at a building hall along the revolving staircase, the duchess bumps into bluish green green jade silk that the front surface walked just in time. 沿着旋转楼梯走到一楼大厅,公爵夫人正巧碰上了迎面走进来的碧翠丝。 „Kate!” “凯特！” „bluish green green jade silk!” “碧翠丝！” Two women meet, in the air as if there is flame to scatter. 两个女人一见面,空气中就仿佛有火光四溅。 Followed to go forward slightly one step in duchess behind knight , the right hand also held the saber of waist, the vision looks at opposite bluish green green jade silk vigilantly. 原本跟在公爵夫人身后的骑士微微上前一步,同时右手还扶上了腰间的佩剑,目光警惕地看着对面的碧翠丝。 Without the means that this young lady has the criminal record. 没办法,这位大小姐可是有前科的。 bluish green green jade silk sees that to show the whites of the eyes, disdains saying: „So many years have not seen, you are such timid.” 碧翠丝见状翻了个白眼,不屑道:“这么多年没见,你还是这么胆小。” „So many years have not seen, you are not such impolite.” The duchess rebuts with sarcasm immediately. “这么多年没见,你不也还是这么无礼。”公爵夫人立刻反唇相讥道。 bluish green green jade silk curls the lip, is not willing many to pester with the duchess, is asking to nearby steward: „My brother?” 碧翠丝撇撇嘴,不愿多跟公爵夫人纠缠,便对着一旁的管家问道:“我哥哥呢？” The stewards sighed, the look said sadly: „Perhaps duke Sir...... has encountered the mishap......” 管家叹息一声,神色悲戚地说道:“公爵大人……恐怕已经遭遇不测了……” „What!” bluish green green jade silk stared in a big way the eye, immediately goes forward to seize the collar of steward, drank to ask, „what's the matter!” “什么！”碧翠丝瞪大了眼睛,立刻上前揪住管家的衣领,喝问道,“到底怎么回事！” Before the stewards have to break through the White Dew City matter to tell, Blood Cavalry Army trembling. 管家只好战战兢兢地将之前血骑军攻破白露城的事情讲述了一遍。 After bluish green green jade silk listens, seems as if in a trance to be the same, stands in same place does not speak. 碧翠丝听完之后,仿佛丢了魂一样,站在原地怔怔不语。 The duchess coldly said: „Does bluish green green jade silk, know the gravity of situation now? Okay treating, do not add to the chaos to me again!” 公爵夫人冷冷道:“碧翠丝,现在知道情况的严重性了吧？好好待着,不要再给我添乱了！” Then, the duchess then walked with stride. 说完,公爵夫人便大步走了出去。 bluish green green jade silk rare has not refuted, but loosened the collar of steward, stands in same place, the look fluctuates unceasingly. 碧翠丝难得没有反驳,只是松开了管家的衣领,站在原地,神色不断变幻。 The stewards waited for quite a while, sees bluish green green jade silk not to have the sound, then suggested low voice: 管家等了半天,见碧翠丝一直没有动静,便小声地建议道: „bluish green green jade silk young lady, I have assigned the person to help you clean the room, your journey fatigued, might as well first wash the rest.” “碧翠丝小姐,我已经命人帮您整理好了房间,您一路旅途劳顿,不如先洗漱休息吧。” bluish green green silk hears word had not responded. 碧翠丝闻言却没有反应。 When the steward does not know this/should should do, she opened the mouth finally: 就在管家不知该如何是好的时候,她终于开口了: „You said that the Elder Brother issued to recruit the command to the Arx sulfur mountain range major feudal lords before one's death once, why does that spend because of the family has not received?” “你说哥哥生前曾向阿尔硫斯山脉以南的各大领主发布征召令,那为什么费因家族没有收到？” „Cannot. I help the recruiting command that duke Sir reorganizes personally, one is to send the skylark city obviously!” “不会啊。我亲自帮公爵大人整理的征召令,明明有一份是寄去云雀城的啊！” bluish green green jade silk narrowed the eye, immediately responds, recruiting the command should be hidden by own good daughter-in-law. 碧翠丝眯起了眼睛,立刻反应过来,征召令应该是被自己的好儿媳藏起来了。 But the goal that she does that is not difficult to guess, is definitely thinking first ambush sneak attack Colin and his party who came from Fire Velvet City, will then lead the fee/spent to rout after Blood Cavalry Army of skylark city because of family's private army. 而她这么做的目的也不难猜,肯定是想着先埋伏偷袭从火绒城来的柯林一行人,然后再率领费因家族的私军将经过云雀城的血骑军击溃。 What a pity has not waited for her to command the army to go out of town, learned of the news bluish green green jade silk decisively killing. 可惜还没等她率军出城,就被得知消息的碧翠丝果断给杀了。 This stupid woman! 这个蠢女人！ Really deserves to be damned! 真是死有余辜！ In bluish green green jade silk heart anger surges. 碧翠丝心中怒火翻腾。 Although has many to Elder Brother Duke St. Plossi discontentedly, but his death gave bluish green the green filament big attack. 虽然对哥哥圣普洛斯公爵有着诸多不满,但他的死还是给了碧翠丝极大的打击。 Thinks before , in skylark city and Colin agreement of Angelie, bluish green green jade silk had the vacillation suddenly unexpectedly. 想到之前在云雀城自己与柯林・安格列的约定,碧翠丝一时间竟产生了动摇。 Do oneself really want with killing the personal enemy cooperation of Elder Brother? 自己真的要跟杀死哥哥的仇人合作吗？ But makes her feel confused, will then be east the future of boundary. 而更让她感到迷茫的,则是东境的未来。 Even if Duke St. Plossi again how mediocre, but at least can blow the scene, has him, eastern boundary is insufficient is too bad. 圣普洛斯公爵哪怕再怎么平庸,但至少能够镇得住场面,有他在,东境的局面就不至于太糟糕。 But now, Duke St. Plossi dies, the issue of successor highlights immediately. 但现在,圣普洛斯公爵一死,继承人的问题就立刻凸显出来。 Eldest son Vincent is also occupying the position of eastern boundary marquis, properly speaking he should inherit the position of duke, but, in some time ago, Duke St. Plossi weakened the support influence of marquis Vincent under urging of certain people wantonly, then started to prop up second son Count Ivan. 长子文森特还占着东境侯爵之位,按理说他应该继承公爵之位,但是,就在不久前,圣普洛斯公爵就在某些人的撺掇下大肆削弱文森特侯爵的支持势力,转而开始扶植次子埃文伯爵。 This causes no hope to inherit Count Ivan of position of duke, currently completely has with the energy that marquis Vincent competes. 这导致原本没什么希望继承公爵之位的埃文伯爵,现在完全有了与文森特侯爵一争高下的底气。 What is more important, the struggle of successor, with duel similar-, once participates, before branching out life and death, is not possible to withdraw. 更重要的是,继承人之争,跟决斗类似-一旦参与进来,在没有分出生死之前,是绝不可能退出的。 Younger brother who marquis Vincent perhaps tolerated the next no threat, but now, after Ivan revealed competes for the thoughts of position of duke, Vincent again like this will not be obviously magnanimous, similarly, Count Ivan will not resign oneself to extinction, oneself Elder Brother inherits the position of duke shortly, then greets the suppression and preemption that will certainly arrive. 原本文森特侯爵或许能容下一个没什么威胁的弟弟,但现在,在埃文显露出争夺公爵之位的心思后,文森特显然不会再这样大度了,同样,埃文伯爵也绝不会束手待毙,眼看着自己哥哥继承公爵之位,然后迎接必将到来的打压和排挤。 The church that the northern boundary that in addition eyes covetously and has ulterior motives...... bluish green green jade silk is utterly confused suddenly unexpectedly. 再加上虎视眈眈的北境和心怀鬼胎的教会……碧翠丝一时间竟心乱如麻。 „bluish green green jade silk young lady......” steward sees bluish green green jade silk not to speak for a very long time, cannot bear make noise the reminder to say. “碧翠丝小姐……”管家见碧翠丝久久不语,忍不住出声提醒道。 bluish green green jade silk recovers, said: „You said a moment ago, Vincent is also seriously injured in that fight?” 碧翠丝回过神来,道:“你刚才说,文森特也在那次战斗中身受重伤？” „Yes.” “是的。” „Leads me to see him.” “带我去见他。” „Yes.” “是。”
