Thump thump thump.
咚咚咚。Colinwas awakened by noiseagain, has passed the high noon.
柯林再次被吵醒的时候,已经过了正午。Knewfrom the maidservantmouth,PopeGrigaand his partyhas arrived inXiangshu Manor, the time of discussionalsodecidesin3 : 00 pm.
从侍女口中得知,教皇格里高瑞一行人已经抵达橡树庄园,会谈的时间也定在了下午 3 点。BecausewithEmpress Midellaabsurdoneall night, after the opposite partywalks, Colinponderedgood long while, thereforeonlymade up2-3hours of sleep/felt, thislittle whilethought the brainis somewhat murky.
由于跟弥黛拉皇后荒唐了一整夜,对方走后柯林又沉思了好半天,所以只补了2-3个小时的觉,这会儿还是觉得脑子有些昏昏沉沉的。Ate a thingcasually, took a hot bath, Colinperked up.
随便吃了点东西,又洗了个热水澡,柯林才算恢复了精神。When the timewas up, Colinthenpreparesto go to the meeting hall.
等时间差不多了,柯林便准备前往会议大厅。Goes out, Colindiscovered, at this timeoutsidelightlyhad the light rainunexpectedly.
出了门,柯林发现,此时外面竟淅淅沥沥下起了小雨。
The meeting hall in Xiangshu Manorhas arrangedappropriately, although the spaceis not big, buteachdetail is very fine, shows the imperial familypropernobleluxuriousmakingsheartily.
橡树庄园的会议大厅早已布置妥当,虽然空间并不大,但每一处细节都十分精致,尽情展现出皇室应有的高贵奢华的气质。Colinenters the hall, casts offraincoatconveniently, givesnearbymaidservant, thenstepped on the thickwoolrug.
柯林走进大厅,顺手摘掉身上的雨衣,递给一旁的侍女,然后踏上了厚厚的羊毛地毯。Thatsoftcomfortablefeeling, letsColinas ifstrollingclouds, becausegoes throughin the rainbringssomeagitatedquickwas then smoothed.
那种绵软舒适的感觉,让柯林仿佛漫步云端,因为在雨中穿行带来的些许烦躁很快便被抚平。
The flame that inall aroundfireplaceburnsis sending out the intermittentwarm feelingcontinually, enormouslyalleviatedthiscoldrainto bringwetcold.
四周壁炉中燃烧的火焰持续散发着阵阵暖意,极大地缓解了这场寒雨所带来的湿冷。
The hall many decorations, have not seemedsomewhatspacious, only then the midpointis placing a sliver of table, the tableupper berth the dark-redencirclementfabric, aboveis placingseveralbunches of Chimonathus Praecoxesin full bloom.
大厅内部并没有过多的装饰,显得有些空旷,只有正中央摆放着一张长条桌,桌上铺着暗红色的围绒,上面摆放着几束怒放的腊梅。
The lightdelicate fragrancefills the airin the air, makingpeoplerefreshing.
淡淡的清香弥漫在空气中,让人神清气爽。Colincomesis quite early, near the longtableonlysatthreepeople- PopeGriga, cardinalBishopMensadepends on, Marquis Garcia.
柯林来的比较早,长桌边只坐了三个人-教皇格里高瑞、枢机主教门萨依,还有加西亚侯爵。Threepeoplelower the headsilent, the interest of obviouslynot having talked.
三人都低头沉默,显然没有交谈的兴致。Colinwalks up, greetstoMarquis Garcia, and positionnearhisright handsits down.
柯林走上前去,向加西亚侯爵打了个招呼,并在他右手边的位置坐下。OppositePopeGrigaandMensahave not liftedaccording tocardinalBishop, obviouslyhas no interest innotifyingColin.
对面的教皇格里高瑞和门萨依枢机主教头都没抬,明显是没兴趣跟柯林打招呼。Colinwill not have a joke backfire.
柯林也不会去自讨没趣。
The maidservantwalks up, arrived atonecup of coffeetoColin.
身后的侍女走上前来,给柯林到了一杯咖啡。Colinadded a milktowardinside, took up the silvernaturespoonto stirgentlyseveral, thensippedoneto tastelightlycarefully.
柯林又往里面加了一点牛奶,拿起银质小勺轻轻搅拌了几下,然后轻抿一口仔细回味。On the tablealsoplacesis cutting the goodfresh fruitsandvarioustypefinedesserts, withoutoppositetwo„deadface”, Colinalmostthinksoneselfare enjoyingsatisfiedafternoon tea.
桌上还摆放着切好的新鲜水果和各式精致的甜点,如果没有对面的两张“死人脸”,柯林差点以为自己在享受一场惬意的下午茶。ButwhenColinuninhibitedlytowardmouthstopperfruit, opposite„deadface”opens the mouth:
而就在柯林旁若无人地往嘴里塞着水果的时候,对面的“死人脸”开口了:„Count Angelie, almostforgotto congratulateyou.”
“安格列伯爵,差点忘了祝贺您了。”„Congratulation?”Colinsurpriselooks atoppositeMensaaccording tocardinalBishop, said,„Mensaaccording to the Sir, what I have to be worthcongratulating?”
“祝贺?”柯林诧异地看着对面的门萨依枢机主教,道,“门萨依大人,我有什么值得祝贺的啊?”Mensaaccording toshowing a being as deep as a wellsmile, said: „Naturallyisyour wifesmoothawakensincident.”
门萨依露出一个高深莫测的微笑,道:“当然是您的妻子顺利苏醒一事啊。”Colincomplexionbig change, the fruit in handalmostfallson the table.
柯林面色大变,手里的水果差点掉桌上。Heturns the headto lookimmediatelytoMarquis Garcia, saw the opposite partyissurprised, has not expected the person in churchto knowthisnewsobviouslyunexpectedly.
他立刻转头看向身边的加西亚侯爵,就见对方也是一脸惊讶,显然是没料到教会的人居然已经知道了这个消息。
A Colinheartsinksunceasingly, heknows, thisdiscussionperhapsorwonderful......
柯林一颗心不断下沉,他知道,这次会谈恐怕要不妙了……During the ponders, somepeopleenter the meeting hallone after another.
沉思间,陆续又有人走进会议大厅。EasternboundaryCountNicolle, westernboundaryDuke of St.Gillian, southernboundaryConsulDulles, Empress Midella...... finally, Reinhardt the Greatwalked.
东境尼科尔伯爵、西境圣格里安公爵、南境执政官杜勒斯、弥黛拉皇后……最后,莱茵哈特大帝走了进来。„Personwere in attendance, thatstarts.”Reinhardt the Greattakes a fast look around, immediatelystoppedonMarquis GarciaandColin, said:
“人都到齐了吧,那就开始吧。”莱茵哈特大帝扫视一圈,随即在加西亚侯爵和柯林身上停了下来,道:„Right, Iheard that DukeSt. Hildehad regained consciousness, must therefore congratulatetwointhis! It seems like that is benevolenttotalllord, does not exercise forbearanceItsfollowerto fall into the permanentdeep sleep. Praisetotalllord!”
“对了,我听说圣希尔德公爵已经苏醒了,所以在此要祝贺两位!看来,至高主还是仁慈的,不忍让祂的信徒陷入永久的沉睡。赞美至高主!”„Praisetotalllord!”
“赞美至高主!”„Praisetotalllord!”
“赞美至高主!”
......
……Colinis gloomy the face, withpraisingone, in the hearthad understood clearly.
柯林阴沉着脸,跟着颂赞了一句,心中已经了然。It seems like Reinhardt the Greatdisclosesthisnewsto the church, then, who was also tellsReinhardt the Greatthisnews?
看来是莱茵哈特大帝将这个消息透露给了教会,那么,又是谁将这个消息告诉莱茵哈特大帝的呢?Colinshot a look attosittinginReinhardt the GreatEmpress Midella, the opposite partyhappen toalsolooked, but alsolavished praisetoownboyfriendwith a smile, as ifsimplyhas not realizedColinannoyedlyat this time.
柯林瞥向坐在莱茵哈特大帝身边的弥黛拉皇后,对方正好也看了过来,还笑着向自己的情郎抛了一个媚眼,仿佛根本没有意识到柯林此时已经恼火至极。Reinhardt the Greatcontinues saying: „Ok, sinceDukeSt. Hildehas regained consciousness, Ithought that yourboth sidesoncansitto chatcalmlywell, reaches an agreementas soon as possible.”莱茵哈特大帝则继续道:“好了,既然圣希尔德公爵已经苏醒,那我觉得你们双方就可以坐下来平心静气地好好谈谈,尽快达成一致。”„Your majesty, yousaidis very right.”PopeGriga the connectionsaysimmediately, „ Marquis Garcia, Count Angelie, thistimeTournantindependently decides, conspirestoDukeSt. Hilde, Iwassinceresorrytoyouhere.
“陛下,您说的很对。”教皇格里高瑞立刻接口道,“加西亚侯爵,安格列伯爵,这次图尔南斯自作主张,对圣希尔德公爵图谋不轨,我在此向你们表示诚挚的歉意。Butis goodbecause, hastohighLordaid, DukeSt. Hildeis not affected much.
但好在,有至高主的护佑,圣希尔德公爵并无大碍。Naturally, youdo not needto be worriedto killTournantincidentarbitrarily, Irepresent the churchto remityourcrimes.
当然,你们也不用担心擅自杀害图尔南斯一事,我代表教会赦免你们的罪。Hence, ourdisputes should also come to the end. ”
至此,我们的纷争也该告一段落了。”Hearshere, Colinwas madquicklysmiles.
听到这里,柯林都快被气笑了。
The PopeGrigatoneas ifnorthboundaryis the guilty party, understanding that needsto teach.
教皇格里高瑞的口吻仿佛北境才是过错方,需要教会的谅解。Colinis enduring the anger of innermost feelings, asked: „UnderPopecrown, I am also certainly willingto be settledwith the church, but did wediscuss the goodtwoconditionsbefore?”
柯林忍着内心的愤怒,问道:“教皇冕下,我当然也愿意与教会达成和解,但之前我们商议好的两个条件呢?”„Count Angelie, Iwill be publicforTournantbehaviorapology, this pointyoudo not needto be worried.”PopeGrigasaidlightly.
“安格列伯爵,我会公开为图尔南斯的行为道歉,这一点您不用担心。”教皇格里高瑞淡淡地说道。Colinshows the whites of the eyes, Grigathiswhereismustapologize, ispreparesto fling the potto give a deceased personobviously.
柯林翻了个白眼,格里高瑞这哪里是要道歉,明明是准备甩锅给一个死人。Buthebears the temperto ask: „Thenaboutnorthernboundarychurch parishindependentcondition?”
但他还是耐着性子问道:“那么关于北境教区独立的条件呢?”PopeGrigawas silent.
教皇格里高瑞沉默了。ButnearbyMensaopens the mouthto sayaccording tocardinalBishop: „Sorry, Count Angelie, the behavior of thisfissionchurch, under the crownis unable to comply, Ilordwill not comply!”
而一旁的门萨依枢机主教则开口道:“抱歉,安格列伯爵,这种分裂教会的行为,冕下无法答应,吾主也不会答应!”Colinlightsnort/hum, coldsay/way: „If so, thatnorthernboundarywill not give up!”
柯林轻哼一声,冷然道:“如果这样,那北境也不会善罢甘休!”Actuallythislittle whileColinhas understood,thistimediscussed the northernboundary to be very difficultto occupywhatto be cheap.
其实这会儿柯林心里已经明白,这次会谈北境应该很难占到什么便宜了。
The news that Veraregains consciousnessonceis public, thatnorthernboundarylost the biggestchip.
薇拉苏醒的消息一旦公开,那北境就失去了最大的筹码。Thisoriginallywas regarded as the card in a hand of safety valvebyColin, becauseactuallyexposesin the wrongtime, insteadbecomes the biggestfaulty stroke in handwriting.
这个原本被柯林视为安全阀的底牌,却因为在错误的时机暴露出来,反而成为最大的败笔。Butperson who thisnewsexposes......
而将这个消息暴露出来的人……Colinlooked atEmpress Midella, grippedsecretlytightened the doublefist.
柯林看了一眼弥黛拉皇后,暗自攥紧了双拳。Why is this?
这是为什么?Wasrejectsherretaliationtoownlast night?
是对自己昨夜拒绝她的报复吗?Reinhardt the Greatlooked atColinoneeyesdiscontentedly, urged:莱茵哈特大帝不满地看了柯林一眼,劝道:
„ Count Angelie, your wife, sincehas regained consciousness, why can also pesterlike thiscontinuous? Youare not clear, now the empirebiggestenemieshave dispatched troopsofficially, perhapssoonmustarrive in the westernboundary.
“安格列伯爵,您的妻子既然已经苏醒,为何还要这样纠缠不休?难道你不明白,现在帝国最大的敌人已经正式出兵,恐怕不久就要抵达西境。At this timeweshouldput downeach othercontradiction, works as one, altogetheranti-foreign enemy!
此时我们更应该放下彼此的矛盾,齐心协力,共抗外敌!Marquis Garcia, youfeltIsaidis right? ”加西亚侯爵,你觉得我说的对不对?”Marquis Garciasilentmoment, finally the nodsaid:加西亚侯爵沉默了片刻,终于还是点头道:„Your majesty, Iagreed that yourviewpoint, resistingOrcis the firstimportant matter.”
“陛下,我同意您的观点,对抗兽人才是第一要务。”
