In the melodiousharpmusic, men and womendance lightlyin the business hall.
悠扬的竖琴乐声中,一对对男女在大厅中央翩翩起舞。Actuallyaccording to the truth, the subject of thisdiscussionis quite serious, even ifmusthold the banquetbefore the discussion, will still selectmore graveseatdinner party.
其实按道理来讲,这次会谈的主题颇为严肃,就算要在会谈前举行宴会,也应该选用更为庄重的坐席会餐。ButRinehartGreat Emperoractuallydid a human relationsdance partywillfully.
但莱因哈特大帝却偏偏任性地搞了一场交际舞会。
The clergycannot certainlyhug the companionto swayin the dance floorlike the aristocrat, does not know that the Popechooseswill arrivetomorrow is becauseknewthisnewsahead of time.
神职人员当然不能像贵族那样搂着伴侣在舞池中摆荡,不知道教皇选择明天抵达是不是就是因为提前知道了这个消息。
The invitationclergyattend the dance party, is actually a veryimpolitebehavior.
邀请神职人员参加舞会,其实是一种很无礼的行为。Perhaps, RinehartGreat Emperorintentionallytoletchurchthatgroup of people are embarrassed.
或许,莱因哈特大帝就是故意为了让教会那帮人难堪吧。Alsoperhaps, hewantsto reconcileColinandSallytaking this opportunity.
又或许,他本是想借此机会撮合一下柯林和莎莉娅。Butpitifully, Colinhas no interest.
但可惜,柯林对此没有兴趣。
His little whileis huggingDuke of St.Gillian, along with the rhythm of music, is turning circlein the dance floor.
他这会儿正搂着圣格里安公爵,伴随着音乐的节奏,在舞池中转着圈儿。After allcomes the respected family . Moreover the Saintknightis not the average manmaycompareregarding the handling of body, Colindiscovered that the Duke of St.Gillianart of dancingtrulyis refinedly unusual, might be considered asexcellentenjoymentwithitaltogetherdance.
毕竟出身大家族,而且圣骑士对于身体的掌控能力也不是常人可比的,柯林发现圣格里安公爵的舞技确实超凡脱俗,与之共舞堪称是一种绝妙的享受。Inslowrevolving, the Duke of St.Gilliansky blueskirtswayedjust like the fresh flowerto bloomsuddenlyanxiouslysuddenly, is swayingrecklesslycharm that absorbs the personheart and soul.
忽急忽缓的旋转中,圣格里安公爵的天蓝色裙摆犹如鲜花般绽放,肆意挥洒着摄人心魄的魅力。Finally.
一曲终了。Colinhas not given full expressionstops the footsteps, smiles a ritualtoowndance partner, thenpullsherdelicate handsto arrive at the ringside.
柯林意犹未尽地停下脚步,向自己的舞伴微笑一礼,然后牵着她的纤手来到场边。„DukeSir, do youwantto eat a thing?”
“公爵大人,您要吃点东西吗?”„Iam not hungry.”Duke of St.Gillianshakes the head, convenientlyfrompassing by the tray in waiterhandtakes downtwocups of Champagne, andgivesColinitsZhongyi Cup.
“我不饿。”圣格里安公爵摇摇头,顺手从路过的侍者手中的托盘上取下两杯香槟,并将其中一杯递给柯林。Colinreceivedhastily, bumpedclinking glasseswithDuke of St.Gillian, sipsonelightly, thencalmlyis feelingaftertaste of champagneinmouth.
柯林连忙接过,与圣格里安公爵碰了碰杯,轻抿一口,然后静静地感受着香槟在口中的回味。„Count Angelie.”Liquor of Duke of St.Gillianin the cuptosses down, narrows the eyesis smilingto seeColin, „thistimeyouowe me a favor.”
“安格列伯爵。”圣格里安公爵将杯中酒一饮而尽,眯着笑眼看着柯林,“这次你欠我一个人情哦。”Colinmustnodreluctantly, raised handto hint the waiterto cometo tradeonecup of champagnetoDuke of St.Gillian, mouthmiddle course:
柯林只得无奈地点点头,又举手示意侍者过来给圣格里安公爵换了一杯香槟,口中道:„DukeSir, thistimeis truly deeply grateful. Laterifyouhaveanythingto needto help, so long asisIin one's power, pleasetellalthough.”
“公爵大人,这次确实感激不尽。以后您如果有什么需要帮忙的,只要是我力所能及,请尽管吩咐。”Duke of St.Gillianbumpedclinking glasseswithColin, asked: „But, I am very truly curious, why aren't youwillingto acceptSally?”圣格里安公爵又跟柯林碰了碰杯,问道:“不过,我确实很好奇,你为什么不愿接受莎莉娅?”Colincorner of the eyesplit visioncannot help butfound the hallcorner, thatlookis low-spirited, the form of solitaryandverticallonelyyoung girl, sighedsecretly, said:
柯林眼角余光不由自主地找到了大厅角落,那个神色黯然,孑然而立的孤独少女的身影,暗自叹息一声,道:„MissSallyis an extremelyoutstandingfemale, butpitifully, IhaveVera.”
“莎莉娅小姐是一位极为出色的女子,但可惜,我已经有了薇拉。”Duke of St.Gillianhesitant, buturged:圣格里安公爵犹豫了一下,但还是劝道:„But, DukeSt. Hildemaygo into a long sleep and never awakenwith all due respectvery much......”
“但是,恕我直言,圣希尔德公爵很有可能就此长眠不醒……”„Iwill not abandonher. Will not abandoninitially to the highLordtestimony, pledge that wemadetogether!”Colinstraightened up the chest, have a strong sense of righteousnesssaid.
“那我也不会背弃她。更不会背弃当初在至高主的见证下,我们一同许下的誓言!”柯林挺直了胸膛,大义凛然地说道。„Butyou are so young, there is an excellentfuture......”
“但你还如此年轻,又有大好的前途……”„Comparesin the future, ItreasurewithVera'slove.”Colinfeltoneselfcan the participating performanceidol drama.
“相比于前途,我更珍视与薇拉的爱情。”柯林觉得自己都可以去参演偶像剧了。Duke of St.Gilliandoes not speak, pair of amber brownbright eyesdecidedare looking atColin, as ifmustfromhisexpressionsee that somewhatto be actually sincere.圣格里安公爵不说话了,一双琥珀色的明眸定定地望着柯林,仿佛要从他的表情中看出究竟有几分真挚。
After the moment, Duke of St.Gilliandoes not know that actuallyto seeanything, shows a faint smile, raises glass saying: „Respects the love!”
片刻后,圣格里安公爵也不知道究竟看出了什么,微微一笑,举杯道:“敬爱情!”Colinalsoraises glassto bump, said: „Respects the love!”
柯林也举杯相碰,道:“敬爱情!”Duke of St.Gilliantosses downagain, immediatelyhit a soundto refer, alsowantedonecupto the waiter.圣格里安公爵再次一饮而尽,随即打了个响指,又向侍者要了一杯。Colinshakes the headsecretly, has not thought ofwest this boundaryduke, unexpectedlyis a femaledrunkard......
柯林暗自摇头,没想到这位西境公爵,竟然是个女酒鬼……„Right, Count Angelie.” The femaledrunkardopens the mouth saying that „yousaidthisowing me onea moment ago, right? Thathappen toItrulyneedyourhelp.”
“对了,安格列伯爵。”女酒鬼又开口道,“你刚才说这次欠我一个人情,对吧?那正好我确实需要你的帮助。”InColinheartslightlyonecold, said: „Pleasesay.”
柯林心中微微一凛,道:“您请说。”Duke of St.Gillianrestrained the smile, the complexionalsobecomesserious, said:圣格里安公爵收敛了笑容,脸色也变得严肃起来,道:„Nownorth you the matter of boundaryandchurchcancome to the end, then, deals with the invasion of Orcempirefull power. Count Angelie, told the facts, Inottoosplendidmilitary commandtalent, therefore, thiswaralsoneedsto take advantage ofyoumuch.”
“现在你们北境和教会的事情可以告一段落了,接下来,就是全力应对兽人帝国的入侵。安格列伯爵,实话实说,我并没有太出色的军事指挥才华,所以,这次战争还需要多多依仗你。”„DukeSir, youtoolooked atmehigh. Such an unrivalledwar, is not my newly emergedrookiesgeneralcancontrol the situation.”
“公爵大人,您太高看我了。这样一场旷世大战,并不是我这个初出茅庐的菜鸟将军能够左右局势的。”„Count Angelie, youdid not needto be extremely modest. I see yourexperience, althoughyourmilitarypersonal history is very short, butactuallyenoughloses face/shows off, evencansay,in the brillianceempirehistory, Ihave not been ableto findanyto be ablewith the commander who yourscoreplaces on a par.”
“安格列伯爵,你也不用太过谦虚了。我了解过你的经历,虽然你的军事履历还很短,但却足够出彩,甚至可以说,光辉帝国历史上,我还未能找到任何一位能够与你的战绩相提并论的指挥官。”Colintouches the nose, probablyby the Duke of St.Gillianboastssomewhatembarrassed, said:
柯林摸了摸鼻子,像是被圣格里安公爵夸得有些不好意思了,道:„DukeSir, thankyourregarding as important. However, is really notIshirksintentionally, butthenleads the person who the northernboundaryarmygoes to the westernboundary, is notI, butisMarquis Garcia.”
“公爵大人,感谢您的看重。不过,真不是我故意推脱,但接下来率领北境大军前往西境的人,并不是我,而是加西亚侯爵。”„Garcia?”Duke of St.Gillianobstructsimmediately, the delicate eyebrowswrinkledunexpectedly.
“加西亚?”圣格里安公爵顿时一窒,秀眉竟然皱了起来。„Yes, dukeSir. Sinceyouhad understoodmypersonal history, shouldknow, Marquis Garciacan be said asmyteachermilitarily, Icanhavetoday'sachievement, mustgive credittohimmost probably. Therefore, has the teacherto go into actionpersonally, youdid not needto look for my student.”
“是的,公爵大人。您既然了解过我的履历,想必也应该知道,加西亚侯爵可以说是我在军事上的老师,我能有今天的成就,大半都要归功于他。所以,有老师亲自出马,您也不用来找我这个学生了。”Listened toColin'swords, Duke of St.Gillianactuallynot to feel relaxed, instead the browwrinklewas tighter, as ifbecame the northernboundaryarmycommandernot to trusttoMarquis Garciavery muchgeneral.
听了柯林的话,圣格里安公爵却并没有释然,反而眉头越皱越紧,仿佛对加西亚侯爵出任北境大军指挥官很不信任一般。Sheis looking atnot far awaywithMarquis Garcia that Empress Midellais speaking, the hesitationmoment, finallyshakes the head saying: „IfGarciais youngten years old , orhehas not experienced the disastrous defeat of shadowcanyon, Ican certainlytrusthim. Butnow......”
她望着不远处正在跟弥黛拉皇后说着话的加西亚侯爵,沉吟片刻,终于还是摇头道:“如果加西亚再年轻十岁,又或者他并没有经历过暗影峡谷的惨败,我当然可以信任他。但现在……”
After Colinlistens, immediatelysomeare not happy.
柯林听后,顿时有些不高兴了。RegardingMarquis Garcia, Colinis the intentionrespect, moreoverhehas believed, a shadowcanyonservicecannotbe the Marquis Garciamistake.
对于加西亚侯爵,柯林是心怀崇敬的,而且他一直都认为,暗影峡谷一役并不能算是加西亚侯爵的错。Let alone, inthisworldwherehas the general who oftenwins the undefeatedtruly.
更何况,这世上哪有真正常胜不败的将军啊。Duke of St.Gillianalsoknows that ownwordsare somewhat impolite, thenspoketo explainagain:圣格里安公爵也知道自己的话有些无礼,便再次出言解释道:
„ Mywordsare not perhaps pleasant to the ear, but is actually the fact.
“我的话或许不中听,但却是事实。Youknow why the Saintknightdid stress the talentextremely?
你知道为什么圣骑士极端强调天赋吗?Youknow why has never had the Saintknight of great talent matures slowly?
你知道为什么从未有过大器晚成的圣骑士吗?Because the extraordinarytalent can progress by leaps and boundson the say/way of knight, butwill not fall into the bottleneck, only by doing so, can, when the promotionSaintterritory, maintains the faith that heart of the pureincomparablekeeping forging aheadandmustwin.
因为只有超绝的天赋才能让人在骑士之道上突飞猛进,而不会陷入瓶颈,唯有如此,才能在晋升圣域的时候,保持一颗纯净无比的进取之心和必胜的信念。Thesearrivedthreeand40years old still unable to promote the mediocreperson in Saintterritory, had been worn down the fighting spirit, even ifintheirbloodlinesis flowing the inheritance of Saintknight, even iftheyhadto step into the say/way of peakknightpotential, butpassingwasting timeandstruggledhas madehisinnermost feelingspresent the crevice, was no longer perfect.
那些到了三、四十岁还依然无法晋升圣域的平庸之人,早已被消磨了斗志,哪怕他们的血脉中流淌着圣骑士的传承,哪怕他们有踏入骑士之道巅峰的潜质,但过往的蹉跎和挣扎已经让他的内心出现了裂隙,不再完美无缺。
A mentalityimperfectperson, is not possibleto become the Saintknight.
一个心态不完美的人,是不可能成为圣骑士的。
The similartruth, Marquis Garcia of battlefielddefeat, after the shadowcanyon, the mindthenhad not once presented the flawvertically and horizontally/able to move unhindered, laterhemakesdecisionin the battlefieldevery time a time, will be worriedunavoidably can oneselfmake same mistakes over again.
同样的道理,曾经纵横沙场未尝一败的加西亚侯爵,在暗影峡谷之后,心灵便出现了破绽,以后他在战场上每做一次决策,都难免会担心自己会不会重蹈覆辙。Thiswill makehim not self-confident, makinghimhesitate, makinghiseachdecisionexhaustedstruggling, even ifhismilitarytalentalso, but was unable to displaycompletely.
这会让他不自信,让他迟疑,让他的每一次决策都成为一种心力交瘁的挣扎,哪怕他的军事才华还在,但已经无法完全发挥出来了。In the shadowcanyon, thatinvinciblearmygodGarcia, has died!
暗影峡谷中,那个战无不胜的军神加西亚,已经死了!Count Angelie, the followingwaris extremely important, ourhumanmustbe have the hope of achievementwhole-heartedly, therefore, Ihope that youcanadvise againstMarquis Garcia, do not command the northernboundaryarmypersonally. ”安格列伯爵,接下来的这场战争太过重要,我们人类必须全力以赴才能有获胜的希望,所以,我希望你能劝阻加西亚侯爵,不要亲自统帅北境大军。”Listens toDuke of St.Gillianthese words, the disaffection on Colinfacevanishesgradually, thenbecomesdignified.
听完圣格里安公爵的这番话,柯林脸上的不满渐渐消失,转而变得凝重起来。Duke of St.Gilliandid not urge, butcalmlywaits forColinto make the decision.圣格里安公爵也不催促,只是静静地等待着柯林做出决定。
