Colinthinksoneselfmisunderstood.
柯林以为自己听错了。ButseesDuke of St.Gillianto let looseAnna, returns the longtableto sit down, herealized, the opposite partyreallydid not planto hitagain.
但见圣格里安公爵放开安娜,重新回到长桌边坐下,他才意识到,对方是真的不打算再打了。Thump thump thump!
咚咚咚!
The knocksuddenly resounds, outsidehears an anxiousinquirysoundsimultaneously:
敲门声突然响起,外面同时传来一个焦急的询问声:„CountSir, are youall right?”
“伯爵大人,您没事吧?”Obviously, the soundalarmedoutsideguard.
显然,刚才的动静惊动了外面的侍卫。Colinrespondsimmediatelyloudly: „Iam all right, butmet a friend who comesto visit, youdraw back.”
柯林立刻大声回应道:“我没事,只是遇见了一位前来拜访的友人,你们退下吧。”„Yes!”
“是!”Whenoutsidesound of footstepsgradually, Colinarrives at the table, sits downopposite ofDuke of St.Gillian.
等外面的脚步声渐渐远离后,柯林才来到桌边,在圣格里安公爵对面坐下。Thisalsoshouteda moment agohitsSaintknight who shouted "kill", at this timeactuallyrestrained the whole bodyair/Qifield, immediatelyfrompowerfulfemalemartialGod, turned into a beautifulwoman of high station.
这位刚才还喊打喊杀的圣骑士,此时却收敛了浑身的气场,顿时从一位强大的女武神,变成了一个绝美的贵妇人。Like this radicalchange, makingColinunexpectedlysomenot adaptsuddenly.
这样的剧烈变化,让柯林一时间竟有些不适应。Buthealsorealized, the change of Duke of St.Gillianattitude, actuallyafterseeing throughAnna the St. Plossirealstatus happened.
但他也意识到,圣格里安公爵态度的变化,其实是在识破安娜・圣普洛斯真实身份之后才发生的。ThismadeColinstartto think- is it possible that does Annahavewhatparticular relationshipwithDuke of St.Gillian?
这就让柯林开始浮想联翩了-莫非安娜跟圣格里安公爵有着什么特殊关系?
Is Anna the Duke of St.Gillianillegitimate daughter?
难道安娜是圣格里安公爵的私生女?Butthisguessfeelssomewhatabsurdly, if so, that shouldn't Duke of St.GillianrevengetoownoldsweetheartDukeSt. Plossi?
但这个猜测怎么都感觉有些荒谬,如果真是如此,那圣格里安公爵不更应该给自己的老情人圣普洛斯公爵报仇吗?Moreover, Duke of St.Gillianuntil nowunmarried, withoutheir, ifAnnais her daughter, howpossibleignoresitto treatin the easternboundary, certainlymustbringto go backto standfor the successor of westboundaryduke.
而且,圣格里安公爵至今未婚,也没有子嗣,如果安娜是她女儿,又怎么可能放任其待在东境,肯定要带回去立为西境公爵的继承人啊。WhenColinindulges in flights of fancy, Duke of St.Gillianopens the mouth saying:
就在柯林胡思乱想的时候,圣格里安公爵开口道:„Count Angelie, Ihave brought the news that the Orcempirehas dispatched troops toofficially, believes that you can also understand, at this time the brillianceempirecannotfall into the civil strifeagain. Therefore, reconcileswith the church, is the onlymeans!”
“安格列伯爵,我已经带来了兽人帝国正式出兵的消息,相信你也能明白,这个时候光辉帝国可决不能再陷入内乱之中了。所以,与教会和解,是唯一的办法!”Colinrestrains the mind, the nodsaid: „Iam also willingto reconcilewith the church, actions that butwill actually not forgiveGriga, therefore, only if the churchtwoconditions that promisesusto put forward, otherwisenothing can be discussed!”
柯林收敛心神,点头道:“我也愿意与教会和解,但却不会饶恕格里高瑞的所作所为,所以,除非教会答应我们提出的两个条件,不然一切免谈!”Duke of St.Gilliancalmlylooked atColinlong time, tobeforeis different, becauseColin'sstubbornnesspersists inbeing angry, butfell intothinking deeply, seemed really considering that Colin'sconditioncanmake the churchaccept.圣格里安公爵静静地看了柯林半晌,倒没有向之前一样因为柯林的顽固坚持而生气,而是陷入了深思,似乎真的在考虑柯林的条件到底有没有可能让教会接受。
After the moment, sheopens the mouthagain, said:
片刻后,她再次开口,道:
„ Count Angelie, Ifeelabout the bitter experience of DukeSt. Hildeextremelysympathize, if possible, Ialsowantto clean up the churchthesesacrilegists, restoresmyLordhonor.
“安格列伯爵,我对圣希尔德公爵的遭遇感到万分同情,如果有可能,我也希望将那些渎神者清理出教会,恢复吾主的荣光。ButyourIwas clear,thisisnot possible.
但你我都清楚,这是不可能的。Goal that at least, thiscannotachievein a short time.
至少,这不是短时间内能够达成的目标。
The rashbehavior of disregarding all consequenceswill only make the situation in brillianceempireworse. ”
不计后果的莽撞行为只会让光辉帝国的局势更加糟糕。”Colincanfeel the sincerity in Duke of St.Gilliantone, althoughdoes not know why shemakes such bigattitudeto transform, butsuchdialogue, Colinis willingto work.
柯林能够感受到圣格里安公爵语气中的诚意,虽然不知道她为何做出这样大的态度转变,但这样的对话,柯林还是愿意进行下去的。„DukeSir, but alsopleaseunderstand that mystandpoint, understands the anger of northernboundaryperson. Ifreallymakes the churcheasilydodge, butdoes not pay the properprice, in the futuretheywill be only intenser! Iam unable to confessto the northernboundarypeople.”
“公爵大人,还请理解我的立场,理解北境人的愤怒。如果真的让教会轻易搪塞过去,而不付出应有的代价,将来他们只会更加变本加厉!我也无法向北境子民交代。”„Ido not certainly wantto make the churcheasilyget by under false pretences.”Duke of St.Gillianis considering the say/way, „ the condition that butyouput forward was extremely truly harsh. EspeciallymakesGrigaabdicate...... thisonlyto causeGrigacounter-attackat risk of life.
“我当然不是想让教会轻易蒙混过关。”圣格里安公爵斟酌着道,“但你提出的条件确实太过苛刻。尤其是让格里高瑞退位……这只会引起格里高瑞的拼死反击。Believesme, a counter-attack at risk of lifePope, will make the brillianceempirefall into the extremeturmoilabsolutely.
相信我,一位教皇的拼死反击,绝对会让光辉帝国陷入极度的动乱之中。Ifinotherperiodsalsoeven, butnow, thisis the consequence that anybodyis unable to withstand! ”
如果是在其他时期也就算了,但现在,这是任何人都无法承受的后果!”Actuallybefore a warning of Empress Midella, had madeColinrealize that thisestimate was not possibleto makeGrigaabdicateon own initiative.
其实之前弥黛拉皇后的一番告诫,已经让柯林意识到这次估计是不可能让格里高瑞主动退位了。ButfacingDuke of St.Gillian, Colineasilywill definitely not yield, at leastalsowants the opposite partyto go tothat side the churchto exert pressure on the pressure, lookcansqueezemorethings, thereforethenpersists insaying:
但面对圣格里安公爵,柯林肯定不会轻易让步,至少也要对方去教会那边施压一下压力,看看能不能压榨出更多的东西,于是便坚持道:„DukeSir, Inaturallydoes not wantto see the empiresituationcollapse, butthesetwoconditionstrulyarenorth the bottom line of boundary, even ifIwantto promiseyou, the northernboundarypersonis still not necessarily ableto agree. Therefore, Ithought that youmight as wellgo tothat side the churchto ask, perhaps......”
“公爵大人,我当然也不希望看到帝国局势崩坏,但这两个条件确实是北境的底线,就算我想答应您,北境人也未必会同意啊。所以,我觉得您不如去教会那边问问,说不定……”„Grigawill not agree withyourcondition......”
“格里高瑞不会同意你的条件……”„Ihave not saidGriga.”Colinsuggested.
“我并没有说格里高瑞。”柯林暗示道。Duke of St.GillianunderstandsimmediatelyColin'smeaning, knows that thisisinagitatingherprovokes the churchstruggle, butconsiders the moment, herbrowcloselywrinkles, shakes the head saying:圣格里安公爵顿时明白了柯林的意思,知道这是在鼓动她去挑动教会内部的斗争,但思虑片刻,她的眉头还是紧紧皱起,摇头道:„No, no matter how, so long aswantsto makeGrigaabdicate, will provode the civil strifeinevitably, thisriskis too big, the presentempireis unable to withstand.”
“不,不管如何,只要是想让格里高瑞退位,都会不可避免地引发内乱,这个风险太大,如今的帝国无法承受。”Shelooks atColin'seyesearnestly, the complexioncontinuesto saysincerely: „ Icanhelpyoucome to an arrangement about the northernboundarychurch parishindependentcondition, butGrigaabdicates...... this is absolutely impossible, at leastpresentlyunderthissituation, isnot possible.
她认真地看着柯林的眼睛,面色诚恳地继续道:“我可以帮你们谈妥北境教区独立的条件,但格里高瑞退位……这是绝对不可能的,至少当前这个局势下,是不可能的。Ifyoubelieveme, I can yoursolemn promise, afterdefeating the Orcempire, Icancollaboratewith the northernboundary, comesto criticizeGrigaagain! ”
如果你相信我,我可以向你郑重承诺,在击败兽人帝国之后,我可以与北境联手,再来对格里高瑞进行清算!”Colinfacial expressionshakes, to the proposition of Duke of St.Gillianalreadysomeheart movements.
柯林神情一震,对圣格里安公爵的提议已经有些心动了。Moreovertold the facts, firstwas settled, waitedto criticizeGrigaafter the war, was the safestbehavior, now the Popewill compel the dead endtrulyis the crudeaction.
而且实话实说,先达成和解,等战后再清算格里高瑞,才是最为稳妥的行为,现在就将教皇逼上绝路确实是鲁莽之举。Butheintertwinespretentiously the long time, as ifexperienced the fierceideological struggle, finallyclenches teeth saying:
但他还是装模作样地纠结半晌,仿佛经历了剧烈的思想斗争,才终于咬牙道:„DukeSir, yoursinceritytrulytouchesme, but, IhopeGrigaat leastshouldpubliclyapologizeforoneselferroneous behavior, like thisIcanconfessto the northernboundaryperson.”
“公爵大人,您的诚意确实让我非常感动,不过,我还是希望格里高瑞至少应该为自己的错误行为公开道歉,这样我才能对北境人有所交代。”„Public apology?” The Duke of St.Gillianelegantstraight eyebrows slanting upwards and outwardswrinkleagain, as iftoColin'srequestsomeheadaches, shesomewhathelplesssaying, „thisconditionI can only say that laterhelpsyoustrivewith every effort, butis unable to promiseanythingyou.”
“公开道歉?”圣格里安公爵秀美的剑眉再次皱起,似乎对柯林的这个要求有些头疼,随后她才有些无奈的说道,“这个条件我只能说是尽力帮你争取,但无法向你保证什么。”„Iunderstand.”Colinalsosmiles, hit, said that „, but, Ialsohope that youcanunderstand, the northernboundarynowchancellor the personis notI, therefore, a moment ago was also onlymyintention, was not the commitment of northernboundary.”
“我明白。”柯林也笑了笑,也打了个哈哈,道,“不过,我也希望您能明白,北境现在主事人可不是我,所以,刚才也只是我个人的意向,并不是北境的承诺。”Duke of St.Gillianlaughs in spite of trying not, said: „Count Angelie, youknow why Ilook foryou, butdoesn't look forMarquis Garcia?”圣格里安公爵失笑一声,道:“安格列伯爵,你知道我为什么来找你,而不去找加西亚侯爵么?”„Why?”
“为什么?”„Because in my eyes, you are who most suitable the personwields the northernboundary.”SeesColinbrowto wrinkle, Duke of St.Gillianalsoanswered, „do not misunderstand, meaning that Ihave not instigated. ButisIunderstandsGarcia, althoughhestartledYanyaninbattlefield, butpoliticallyactuallyseemssomewhatimmature, constantlystrongflexible, ifreallymakeshimwield the northernboundary, hehe......”
“因为在我眼里,你才是最适合执掌北境的人。”见柯林眉头皱起,圣格里安公爵又解释道,“别误会,我没有挑拨的意思。而是我了解加西亚这个人,他虽然在战场上惊才艳艳,但政治上却显得有些稚嫩,一味强硬不懂变通,若是真让他来执掌北境,呵呵……”At this point, Duke of St.Gillianthenstands up, beckons with the handtowardColin, said:
说到这里,圣格里安公爵便站起身来,朝柯林摆摆手,道:„Ok, otherIwas not many said that waited formygoodnews. Alsohopes that youcanin this period of time, persuade the northernboundaryfeudal lords, particularlyMarquis Garcia, do not letthemact unreasonably.”
“好了,别的我也不多说了,等我的好消息吧。也希望你能在这段时间里,劝服北境领主们,尤其是加西亚侯爵,别让他们乱来。”„Iwill make contribution.”Colinnods.
“我会尽力的。”柯林点点头。Duke of St.Gillianwalkedseveralsteps, actuallystoppedsideAnna, suddenlygatheredherearto whisperseveral.圣格里安公爵走了几步,却在安娜身边停了下来,突然凑到她耳边低语了几句。Colinjustthinks that „taking possession”Anna, listening toDuke of St.Gillianto sayanything, if by any chancehewill just realize the shiftin the past, actuallydiscovered that Duke of St.Gillianhas said.
柯林刚想“附身”安娜,听听圣格里安公爵说了什么,但等他刚将意识转移过去,却发现圣格里安公爵已经说完了。Althoughis filled withcuriously, but the Colin not goodclear(ly)to ask, moreover after AnnabecomesBlood Slave, is not naturally ableto pass on to the Duke of St.Gillianwords.
虽然满心好奇,但柯林也不好明问,而且安娜成为血奴之后自然也无法将圣格里安公爵的话转告。Therefore, Colinhasto have the infinitedoubts, gazes afterDuke of St.Gillianto departleisurely.
于是,柯林只好带着无限的疑惑,目送着圣格里安公爵款款离去。
