Onchillycorridor, SarcenMorisonis walkingalone.
清冷的长廊上,赛肯・莫里森独自走着。Hehas lowered the head, the complexionis gloomy, seems making any difficultchoice.
他一直低着头,脸色阴沉,似乎正在做着什么艰难的抉择。„Sarcen!”
“赛肯!”Hearsownname, SarcenMorisonhaltssuddenly, raised the headseesoneselfwifeNinato standbeforeoneself, fromoneselfalsoonone pace, ifshedoes not make noise, perhapsoneselfwanted the front surfaceto hit.
听到自己的名字,赛肯・莫里森才蓦然止步,抬头就见自己的妻子妮娜正站在自己面前,距离自己也就一步之遥,若是她不出声,恐怕自己就要迎面撞上去了。„What are youthinking?” A Ninafaceworried that sees the absent-mindedhusband.
“你在想什么呢?”妮娜一脸担忧地看着心不在焉的丈夫。„Nina...... I......”Sarcenam looking atwife'ssweet and prettyface, suddenlydoes not knowunexpectedlyshouldsayanything.
“妮娜……我……”赛肯望着妻子娇美的脸庞,一时间竟不知道该说什么。Ninacould not guess correctlyinobviouslyownhusbandheartthinks,thinksheis still taking to heartbecause offatherFrank'scommitting suicide, thenpersuaded:妮娜显然猜不到自己丈夫心中所想,以为他还在因为父亲弗朗哥的自尽而耿耿于怀,便劝说道:
„ Sarcen, immersedin the pastsadnessis pointless, the truepowerhouseshouldstand erectabove the misery, pursued the self-valuein the adversity.
“赛肯,沉浸于过去的悲伤是没有意义的,真正的强者应该屹立于苦难之上,在逆境中追寻自我的价值。Moreover, now the Morisonfamilymost difficulttime, youasonceCountMorison, family'sdirect descendantmember, should notstandinthis time, seeks forroad of the revivalfor the family? ”
而且,如今正是莫里森家族最艰难的时刻,你作为曾经的莫里森伯爵,家族的嫡系成员,不更应该在这时候站出来,为家族寻找一条复兴之路吗?”Sarcensees the wife, the expression on faceis quite complex, long timesaid:赛肯怔怔地看着妻子,脸上的表情极为复杂,半晌才道:„Nina, nowIam notCountMorison, Morisonfamilyno longeris also prominent, are youalso willingto continueto followI?”
“妮娜,如今我已不是莫里森伯爵了,莫里森家族也不再显赫,你还愿意继续跟着我吗?”„Howyouwill asksuchquestion.”Ninadelicate eyebrowsonepressed, as ifthought that husband'sissueinsulted itself, „ did youforgetinitiallyusin the pledge that the brillianceunder the Lordtestimonymakes?
“你怎么会问出这样的问题。”妮娜秀眉一蹙,似乎觉得丈夫的问题侮辱了自己,“难道你忘了当初我们在光辉之主的见证下立下的誓言了吗?Regardless ofpoorrich, regardless ofhealthordisease, regardless ofsucceedsis defeated, wewill facehand in hand, separatedusuntil the death! ”
无论贫穷还是富有,无论健康还是疾病,无论成功还是失败,我们都将携手面对,直到死亡将我们分开!”Sarcenonlyfeels the eyeto turn sour, the throatis depressed, in the heartdeeplywas touchedby a not being able to sayfeeling.赛肯只觉得眼睛发酸,喉头发堵,心中被一种说不出的感受深深触动。Ninasees the somewhatrudehusband, unfolds the faceto say with a smile: „Therefore, youdo not needto be worried. What kind ofchoiceregardless ofyoumake, Iwill accompanysideyou, undertakeswithyoutogether.”妮娜看着有些失态的丈夫,展颜一笑道:“所以,你根本不用担心。无论你做出怎样的选择,我都会陪伴在你身边,与你一同承担。”„Even ifIchoose...... is a dead end?”Sarcensomedo not dareto facewife'svision.
“哪怕我选择的……是一条绝路吗?”赛肯有些不敢面对妻子的目光。
The heart that he was just firm, had the vacillationbecause ofwife'sthese wordsat this moment.
就连他刚刚坚定下来的心,此刻也因为妻子的这一番话而产生了动摇。„Dead end?”Ninafacial expressiononeaustere, „do youwantto do?”
“绝路?”妮娜神情一肃,“你想干什么?”Sarcenrealizedownspeaking incorrectlywords, somewhatis immediately flurried.赛肯意识到自己说错话了,顿时有些慌乱。Hesitant, hedoes not dareandCatina'splansayshimself, thenliesto explain:
犹豫了一下,他还是没敢将自己和卡迪娜的计划说出来,便撒谎解释道:
„ I mean, because offather'sdeath, I do not havefirstto give loyalty toCount Angelie, nowhedefinitelyhasto dreadaboutme, even ifIwentto give loyalty toat this time, perhapswill not winhistrust.
“我的意思是,因为父亲的死,我没有第一时间效忠安格列伯爵,现在他肯定对我心怀忌惮,哪怕我这时候前去效忠,恐怕也不会得到他的信任。NaturallyIalsounderstand,Morisonfamilyhas been doomedto followheto go to the westernboundary, ifIdo not wantto drop out the clansmanalsoonlyto havesuchchoice, but...... Iworried that perhapsIwent to the westernboundaryto be regarded the cannon fodderbyhim...... ”
当然我也明白,莫里森家族已经注定要跟着他前往西境,我如果不想抛下族人也唯有如此选择,但是……我担心自己去了西境恐怕会被他当成炮灰……”„Cannot.”Ninacomfortsto sayhastily,discovered the husbandhas the idea of changing an attitude, shewas happy when had not perceivedhusbandis not right, „Count Angelieis notthat the person of superficiality, ifhereallydaresto driveyouto bring death, thatentireMorisonfamilytohisdisunity, hisprestigealsoseriouslywill even be damaged!”
“不会的。”妮娜连忙安慰道,发现丈夫有回心转意的想法,她高兴之余也没有觉察到丈夫的不对劲,“安格列伯爵不是那么短视的人,如果他真的敢驱使你去送死,那整个莫里森家族都会对他离心离德,甚至他的声望也会严重受损!”„Ifhe is so shortsighted?”
“那如果他真就如此短视呢?”„Idied in battlewithyoutogetherin the frontline!”Ninarepliedforcefully.
“那我就跟你一起战死在前线!”妮娜铿锵有力地答道。Sarcenis staring atwife'seyes, for a very long timedid not speak.赛肯凝视着妻子的眼睛,久久不语。Ninasees that goes forwardto pullhusband'sarm, warmsound said: „ Relax, will not havesuchaspect. Even ifyoudo not believe that the Count Angeliemanner, must believe the vision of MadameGrace.妮娜见状,上前挽住丈夫的手臂,温声道:“放心吧,不会出现这样的局面的。就算你不相信安格列伯爵的为人,也要相信葛瑞丝夫人的眼光啊。Since she familychose such a roadtoMorison, definitelyhas the considerableassurance.
她老人家既然给莫里森家族选了这么一条路,肯定是有相当的把握的。Youthought that shewill harmMorisonfamily? ”
难道你觉得她会害了莫里森家族?”„Naturallyno.” The Sarcenrestrainingmind, „Ialsobelieve the grandmother.”
“当然不。”赛肯收敛心神,“我也相信祖母。”„Thatwas not good!”Ninadraws the husbandto proceed, said with a smile, „Iledyouto seeCount Angelietogether, believes that hewill certainly be gladto acceptyourgiving loyalty to!”
“那不就好了!”妮娜拉着丈夫往前走,笑道,“我带你一起去见安格列伯爵,相信他一定会非常乐意接受你的效忠!”Sarcenpulls a smilereluctantly, fills with the concernfollowingwifeto walktowardColin'sdwelling.赛肯勉强扯出一个笑容,满怀心事地跟着妻子往柯林的住处走去。Acrosscorridor, arrives atcastlethreealong the revolvingstaircase, Mr. and Mrs.Sarcenwas blockedby the guardbefore a leaf of wooden door.
穿过长廊,又沿着旋转楼梯来到城堡三层,赛肯夫妇在一扇木门前被侍卫拦了下来。Although the presentswallowtailfortis notMorisonfamily, the feeling that the place that butthistypegrows upinoneselfsince childhoodis unable to open accesslets a Sarcenheart pain.
虽说如今的凤蝶堡已经不属于莫里森家族了,但这种在自己从小长大的地方无法畅通无阻的感受还是让赛肯一阵心痛。After the guardnotifies, twotalentsare allowed to pass.
经由侍卫通报后,两人才被放行。Enters the room, Sarcendiscovered that Count Angelieis glancing through the document of piling upbehind the desk.
进入房间,赛肯发现安格列伯爵正在书桌后面翻阅着堆积如山的文件。„Two, firstsit, whenIlook atthese.”Colinbeckons with the handto sayat will.
“两位,先坐吧,等我看完这些。”柯林随意地摆摆手道。SarcenthendrawsNinato sit downon the sofa, is waiting forpeacefully.赛肯便拉着妮娜在沙发椅上坐下,安静地等待着。Shortly, Colinputs down the scroll in hand, smiledsaying with a smile: „Does the Sarcenknight, MadameNina, whatmatteryouaskmeto have?”
没多久,柯林放下手中的卷轴,笑了笑道:“赛肯骑士,妮娜夫人,你们找我有什么事吗?”Fromoriginal„CountMorison”turnednow„Sarcenknight”, Sarcenmustsay that has not lostisnot possible, buthedeeplyinspires, abandonstheseuselessmood, sets outto arrive in front ofColin, the singlekneekneels down, said:
从原先的“莫里森伯爵”变成了如今的“赛肯骑士”,赛肯要说没有失落是不可能的,但他还是深吸一口气,摒弃那些无用的情绪,起身来到柯林面前,单膝跪下,道:
„ The northernboundaryprotector of respect, Count Angelie, pleaseforgivemybeforehandoffending.
“尊敬的北境守护者,安格列伯爵,请原谅我之前的冒犯。Ifyoupermit, I, SarcenMorison, is willingto offer the unequalledloyaltytoyoutoday! Inmylifetime, your willofficersmygoal, yoursharp swordreferred toisIapproaches! ”
如果您允许,我,赛肯・莫里森,今日愿向您献上无与伦比的忠诚!在我的有生之年,您的意志将士我的目标,您的利剑所指即是我之所向!”Colinsurpriselooks atyoungknightoneeyes that thischanged an attitudesuddenly, butwalkedfrom the desk.
柯林诧异地看了这位突然回心转意的年轻骑士一眼,但还是从书桌后面走了出来。Sarcenafter allwasonceCountMorison, wasthisfamilydirect descendantlegitimate, hisgiving loyalty tocanhelpColinsubdueMorisonfamilywelltruly.赛肯毕竟是曾经的莫里森伯爵,是这个家族的嫡系正统,他的效忠能够更好地帮助柯林真正收服莫里森家族。Therefore, Colinarrives around Sarcen, pulls out the saber, at his shoulderpoint, saidgently:
于是,柯林走到赛肯跟前,抽出佩剑,在他肩头轻轻一点,道:„Iacceptyourgiving loyalty.”
“我接受你的效忠。”Sarcenstood the body, the complexionlooked at a Colincomplex, thensinkingsound said:赛肯站直了身体,面色复杂地看了一眼柯林,然后沉声道:„CountSir, thankyounot to haggle overmybeforehandoffending!”
“伯爵大人,感谢您不计较我之前的冒犯!”„All right. After allyour fatherjustdied, Icanunderstandyourmood. However, Ihope that youcanunderstandwho the Morisonfamily'struepersonal enemiesare.”
“没事。毕竟你的父亲刚死,我能理解你的心情。不过,我希望你能明白莫里森家族真正的仇人是谁。”„Iunderstand.”Sarcennods, said: „CountSir, Isuddenlythinks that inMorisonfamilyas ifrecordedsomesecrets, possiblywithUncleHorusrelated......”
“我明白。”赛肯点了点头,又道:“伯爵大人,我突然想起来莫里森家族中似乎记载了一些秘密,可能跟荷鲁斯叔叔有关……”„?”Colinlookmoves, saidhastily, „whatsecret?”
“哦?”柯林神色一动,连忙道,“什么秘密?”„Before isme, whenreading the familycollects bookssawaccidentally, did not haveto careat that time . Moreover the time was also too long, is unclear, do youorturnto lookto studytogetherwithme?”
“是我以前在翻看家族藏书时无意中看到的,当时没有太在意,而且时间也太久了,记不清了,您要不跟我一起去翻找出来研究一下?”„Good.”
“好。”Sarcenturns aroundto walk out, butjustwalkedtwostepsalsothento saytoNina: „Nina, IleadCountSirto go to the book collectionhall, troublesyouto processfather'sremains, prepares the funeralmatters concerned, Iwantto make the fatherburylateras soon as possible.”赛肯转身向外走,但刚走两步又回头对妮娜道:“妮娜,我带伯爵大人去一下藏书馆,麻烦你去处理一下父亲的遗体,准备葬礼事宜,我想待会儿尽快让父亲下葬。”Ninadoes not doubthim, the nodsaid: „Good.”妮娜不疑有他,点头道:“好的。”Said that thendepartsalone, butColinarrives attop level of the castleunder the leadership of Sarcenalong the revolvingstaircase.
说完便独自离去,而柯林在赛肯的带领下沿着旋转楼梯来到城堡顶层。Morisonfamilyfoundationis solid, the book collectionhalloccupiedentireone.
莫里森家族底蕴深厚,藏书馆占据了整整一层。Stoodin the stairway, Sarcenactuallystopped the footsteps, has not walkedtoward.
站在楼梯口,赛肯却停住了脚步,没有往里走。„What's wrong?”Colinhas doubtsasks.
“怎么了?”柯林疑惑地问道。Sarcencomplexionfluctuates, as if the innermost feelingsare waging the fiercestruggle.赛肯的脸色一阵变幻,似乎内心正在进行着剧烈的斗争。Colindeeplylooked atopposite partyoneeyes, askedwith a smile:
柯林深深看了对方一眼,笑着问道:„Regret?”
“后悔了?”
