„What?! In the imperial palacepresentsVampire? Moreoverinyourroom?”
“什么?!皇宫中出现吸血鬼?而且就在你的房间?”In the dimhall, chiefKnight, imperial guardCaptainVirgilis startledto ask.
昏暗的大厅内,首席骑士,禁卫军队长维吉尔惊问着。AsRodhand/subordinatemost loyalKnight, VirgilisDannis the person who cantrustin the imperial palaceonly.
作为罗德手下最忠诚的骑士,维吉尔可谓是丹尼斯在皇宫中唯一可以信任的人。OncewasdeclineKnight, followedRodto walkfromBlackhammer Fort, did not havetwoloyally, even in Rodwent northto lead awayGreenskinwas missing, there is an opportunityto replaceitsposition, has not betrayed. Suchperson, Dannisdoes not trust, inthispalace, no onecantrust.
曾经是没落骑士,跟随罗德从黑锤堡一路走来,忠诚无二,甚至在罗德北上引开绿皮失踪之时,有机会取代其位置,都没有背叛。这样的人,丹尼斯再不信任,这宫殿之内,也就没人可以信任了。„Yes. Stillremembers? Royi, collaboratedwithmebeforesecretly, overthrowsKatarinthat.”
“是的。还记得吗?罗伊,以前和我秘密联手,推翻卡特琳娜的那个。”„Remembers.”Virgilfrowns, „what does hecome to the imperial palaceto make?”
“记得。”维吉尔皱起了眉头,“他来皇宫做什么?”„Shelooks forme, wantsmeto becometheirmember.”
“她来找我,要我成为她们的一员。”„What?! Does shewantto transform you are Vampire?”
“什么?!她想把你转化为吸血鬼?”Virgilcalls out in alarm.维吉尔惊呼到。„Yes. Ihave not complied.”
“是的。我没有答应。”„Youcannot certainlycomply, queenyour highness!”
“你当然不能答应,王后殿下!”Virgilis sayingangrily, in the meantime, is the dereliction of duty of oneselfregretted. As the imperial palaceimperial guardcommand, makesVampiremix inunexpectedlydoes not know,oneselfhas the shameinthisposition, has had the shame for many yearstrust of Lord Rodoneself.维吉尔怒气冲冲的说着,同时,也为自己的失职而懊悔。身为皇宫禁军统帅,竟然让吸血鬼混入其中而不知,自己有愧于这个职位,更有愧于多年来罗德领主对自己的信任。„Iwill findher, andleadshertoyourfront, listening toyouto punish.”
“我会找到她,并将她带到你的面前,听你发落。”Guarantee that Virgilvows solemnly.维吉尔信誓旦旦的保证到。„Ok, youcould not findher, ifOk, yoursubordinatehas discovered. Rather thanwaits till the present. Also, sheappearedonetime, appeared for the second time will be then more careful. Shecamouflageswell, usuallyyoucannot detectvery much. Meanwhile, herspeedis quick, evenIsomewhatcannot follow, let aloneyou.”
“算了,你找不到她的,如果可以,你的手下早就发现了。而不是等到现在。再说,她出现一次,第二次出现便会更加小心了。她伪装得很好,平时你们根本察觉不出。同时,她的速度很快,连我都有些跟不上,更别说你们。”Dannissighed.丹尼斯叹了口气。„Iwill strengthenguard the patrol. Wantsmeto investigate thoroughly the imperial palace?”
“我会加强守卫巡逻。要我彻查皇宫吗?”Virgilis unwilling, queen'ssighin his opinion, isto the oneselfabilitydid not affirm.维吉尔心有不甘,王后的叹息在他看来,是对自己能力的不肯定。„Does not use, thisimperial palaceis notmy, howis notIwantshow. Part of Tzar. Shouldsay that heisPavir. ButIwas too strongbefore, is pressinghim. Now the situationis more complex, Iandhehave torn to pieces the facial skin, cannot returnagain. Undersuchcomplexenvironment, do not put in order any bigmovement is quite good.”
“不用了,这皇宫不是我一个人的,不是我想怎样就怎样的。还有沙皇的一部分。应该说他原本就是帕维尔的。只不过之前我太强势,压着他而已。现在情况更复杂了,我和他已经撕破脸皮,再也回不到过去。这样复杂的环境下,还是不要整出什么大动作比较好。”Dannisis sighing , to continue to speak of——丹尼斯叹息着,继续说到——„Moreover, has a fearfulfact, wemustclearly recognize. PresentsRoyi, is representinginKislev, not onlyonly hasVampire. Youmustknow that Lenyafamily'stradition, appearsby the attractivefemaleimagein the face of the public. Theypossiblyare the aristocratwomen, possiblyis the social butterfly, but alsopossiblyisQueen...... we do not know that innowKislevinfiltratedmanythisfamily'sperson. The action, will only set up the newenemytooneselfrashly.”
“而且,有个可怕的事实,我们必须认清。出现一个罗伊,代表着基斯里夫城内,不单单只有一个吸血鬼。你要知道莱尼亚家族的传统,以漂亮女性的形象出现在公众面前。她们可能是贵族妇女,可能是交际花,还可能是女王……我们现在根本不知道基斯里夫城内到底混进了多少这个家族的人。冒然行动,只会给自己树立新的敌人。”„Now, Kislevpolitical disturbance, aristocrats, althoughgained the victory, withoutmutiny. Howeverthat sidePavirwill not give uplike this. Hewill haveotherideas and movements. But his disgustinguncleSamIl, is also peeping in the hidden place, waits for the time. YourIdo not know whether Vampirehad an affairwiththeseinfluences. Right that my father said that overcomingKingdomis easy, defendsit, is very difficult.”
“现在,基斯里夫政局动荡,贵族们虽然取得了胜利,没有兵变。但是帕维尔那边绝不会这样罢休。他会有其他想法和动作。而他的那个恶心叔父萨姆伊尔,同样在暗处窥视着,等待时机。你我不知道,吸血鬼是否与这些势力有染。我父亲说的对,打下一个王国容易,守住它,却很难。”Dannislowered the sound, in the spoken language is completely exhausted.丹尼斯压低了声音,言语中尽是疲惫。„Isend peopleto investigateclearlyfirst.”
“那我派人去调查清楚先。”Virgilis just about, was stopped by calling outbyDannisagain.维吉尔正要走,被丹尼斯再次叫住了。„Thismatteryoudo not excel, yourdutyisimperial palaceimperial guardCaptain, is responsible forguarding the security of thisimperial palace, youonlyneedto strengthenguard the alert. As forinvestigatinginKislev the matter of Vampirefamilymanpower, Iwill confess that doestoothers. Imperialimperial guardmanypeople, even ifreassignshalfto dothismatter, by farinsufficient.”
“这种事你不擅长,你的职务是皇宫禁军队长,负责守卫这座皇宫的安全,你只需要加强守卫戒备就可以。至于调查基斯里夫城内吸血鬼家族人手的事,我会交代给别人做。皇家禁军才多少人,哪怕抽调一半去做这件事,都远远不够。”Dannissaid,Virgilis then silent.丹尼斯说完,维吉尔这才沉默下来。

……Pavirsitsonmounting the throne of ruby, the looks atthisfamiliarandstrangefemale, visionhalfare the desire, halfaredesolate.帕维尔坐在镶嵌着红宝石的王座上,看着这个熟悉而陌生的女子,目光一半是欲望,一半是苍凉。„Said,these days the matter of Kislevyoudid know?”
“这么说,这段时间基斯里夫发生的事你都知道了?”Tzaraskedin a low voice.沙皇低声问到。„Knew, whocannot know? The commonciviliansknewcontinually.”
“知道了,谁会不知道呢?连寻常平民都知道了。”
The Royiwordslook like a dagger, deepstabbing painPavirsensitiveandfrailheart. Hemostcares is othersto the view of oneself, the nobilitiesaristocrat, common people, butin the past month the matter, without doubttohisreputation/honorarywas the enormousattack. Until now, hewantsto show that oneselfis not a waste, butin the end, actuallyprovedthis point.罗伊的话像一把匕首,深深刺痛着帕维尔敏感而脆弱的心。他最在意的便是别人对自己的看法,王侯贵族的,平民百姓的,而过去一个月里发生的事,无疑对他的名誉是极大的打击。一直以来,他都想证明自己并不是一个废物,而到头来,却更加证明了这一点。Kislev everyone knew, Tzarabuses the power, is forcedto sign the agreementwith the aristocrats. InKislevhistorymost spiritlessTzar? Will theyappraiseoneselflike this? Paviris askingoneselfat heart. The answeris the affirmation, but, oneselfis not willingto acknowledge.基斯里夫每个人都知道了,沙皇滥用权力,被迫和贵族们签订协议。基斯里夫历史上最懦弱的沙皇?他们会这样评价自己吗?帕维尔在心里问着自己。答案是肯定的,只是,自己不愿意承认罢了。„IamKing that Kislevmostis defeatedin history.”
“我是基斯里夫有史以来最失败的国王。”Pavirself-ridicules,hisvisionis gloomy, kingproudnothing left. On the throne seems an injuredchild, rather thanTzar, Kislevruler.帕维尔自嘲到,他的目光暗淡下来,君王的骄傲荡然无存。王座上仿佛是一个受伤的小孩,而不是沙皇,基斯里夫统治者。„Do not be discouraged, Tzaryour majesty, you have the opportunity.”
“别灰心,沙皇陛下,你还有机会。”Royiis saying, goes forwardonestep, is looking atPavirwiththatpair of attractiveeyepupil.罗伊说着,上前一步,用那双漂亮的眼眸望着帕维尔。„No, withoutopportunity. Rodis the Kislevtrueruler, Iam a board game piece in theirhand, a puppet. No, does not calculate the puppets,by the waste that the common peopleridiculed.”
“不,没有机会了。罗德是基斯里夫真正的统治者,我不过是他们手中的一枚棋子,一个傀儡。不,连傀儡都不算,一个被万民嘲笑的废物。”Did not haveproudly, Paviris scared. Helowers the head, is looking at the thronefoundation, the smoothmarblefloormapshiswasting timeface. Reaches middle-age, accomplishes nothing, the wifeandothershad an affair, oneselfbecomes the loser in otherseyes......
没了骄傲,帕维尔失魂落魄。他低着头,望着王座底座,光滑的大理石地板映射出他那张蹉跎的脸庞。人到中年,一事无成,妻子和别人有染,自己成为了别人眼中的失败者……„No, myhonoredTzar, you have the opportunity. In the past, underintimidation of Katarin, wealsooncedespaired, butfinally, westood, not? The opportunityalwayshas, butlooks atyouto want.”
“不,我尊贵的沙皇,你还有机会。当年,在卡特琳娜的威逼下,我们也曾经一度绝望,但是最后,我们还是站起来了,不是吗?机会总是有的,只是看你愿不愿意。”Royiapproached, is almost the faceis pasting the face of Pavir. Pavirlowers the head, has stared atherchest frontthatgroupfluctuatingto be uncertain.罗伊又走近了一些,几乎是脸贴着帕维尔的脸。帕维尔低头,一直盯着她胸前那团起伏不定。„Whatopportunity?...... Did not have...... meto be only a waste......”
“什么机会?不……没了……我只是一个废物……”Return of Pavirfall in the blues.帕维尔情绪低落的回到。„Listening, myhonoredTzaryour majesty, opportunity, so long asyourIcollaborateagain, thisKingdomcantake ordersinyouas beforeagain.”
“听着,我尊贵的沙皇陛下,还有机会,只要你我再次联手,这个王国依旧可以再次听命于你。”Royihandful offace of Pavir, saying.罗伊捧起帕维尔的脸,说着。„Has an opportunity, canmakeyoubeat all your enemies, recapturesthisto beyourthrone, clearthrone.”
“有个机会,可以让你击败你所有的敌人,重新夺回这属于你的王位,真真切切的王位。”Royistoppeda while , to continue to speak of——罗伊停顿了一会儿,继续说到——„Thatbecomesourmember, youcanobtain the endlessstrength. Mypersonwill supportyou. Cleans outyourenemy, cleans outourenemies. Coped withKatarinsuchlikeusinitially.”
“那就是成为我们的一员,你将可以得到无尽的力量。我的人会支持你。除尽你的敌人,除尽我们的敌人。就像当初我们对付卡特琳娜那样。”„Becoming Vampire?”
“成为吸血鬼?”BecausePavirshocks, the whole personcannot help butgoesbackwardbut actually.帕维尔因为震惊,整个人不由得向后倒去。„Yes.”
“是的。”Royicategoricalreply.罗伊斩钉截铁的回答到。„Do not be afraid, thisprocess will not be painful, so long asyouknow, after the matterbecomes, youwill obtain the powerfulstrength. Yourappearancewill be stationed in the youthforever, yourlifewill obtaininfiniteextension, in the meantime, youwill no longer be restricted in any frailemotion of mortal.”
“不要害怕,这个过程不会很痛,你只要知道,事成之后,你将获得强大的力量。你的容颜将永驻青春,你的生命将得到无限延长,同时,你将不再受限于凡人的任何脆弱情感。”Royiis saying, the corners of the mouthraise a strangesmile.罗伊说着,嘴角扬起一丝诡异的微笑。Paviris on nettlesat heart, on the one hand, helongs foroverturning, longs forobtaining the strength. The other side, becomingVampirethismattermadehimfrightened. Hesees the appearance that the oneselfmotherhas gone crazy, simplywithdevilnotdifferent, then, tooverturn, toobtainstrength, can oneselfbecome the monsterlikeKatarin?帕维尔心里忐忑不安,一方面,他渴望翻盘,渴望获得力量。另一方,成为吸血鬼这件事却令他恐惧。他见过自己母亲发疯的样子,简直和魔鬼无异,那么,为了翻盘,为了获得力量,自己要成为像卡特琳娜一样的怪物吗?„What's wrong? Do youfear death?”
“怎么?你怕死?”Royiis askingin a soft voice, in the spoken languagehas the taunt, makingPavircannot help butgrieved.罗伊轻声问着,言语中带着嘲讽,令帕维尔不由得心痛起来。„Good, it seems likeImisread the person. Youare unworthy, the wifewas taken away, Kingdomwas taken away, youactuallyalsocovet life and fear death. Is livinglikeyou, Iratherdie.”
“好吧,看来我看错人了。你不值得,妻子被人夺去,王国被人夺去,你竟然还贪生怕死。像你这样活着,我宁可去死。”Royisaid,turns around to walk. Was stopped by calling outbyPavir...... indeed, what does oneself have to be goodto dread? All that oneselftreasureswere won, whatis livinganddieshadto distinguish? Like thisliving, might as wellis dying...... thinks that Rodthatarrogantstance, thinksDannisthatdisdains the ice-coldvision, Pavirfeels like a knife twisting in the heart, hemusttake revenge! Yes, nothingcompared withtaking revengeimportantly. Hemustrecaptureto behisall——powers, positionandreputation/honorary, woman. HemustmakeDanniskneel downin the oneselfunder footadmits mistakes, wantsentireKislevto acknowledgehisgreat. Yes, thisislivingsignificance, otherwise, whatwithdyinghadto distinguish?罗伊说完,转身就要走。却被帕维尔叫住了……的确,自己还有什么好畏惧的?自己所珍视的一切都被夺走了,活着和死了有什么区别?这样活着,还不如死了……想到罗德那傲慢的姿态,想到丹尼斯那不屑冰冷的目光,帕维尔心如刀割,他要复仇!是的,没有什么比复仇更重要的了。他必须夺回属于他的一切——权力、地位、名誉,还有女人。他要让丹尼斯跪倒在自己脚下认错,要全基斯里夫承认他的伟大。是的,这才是活着的意义,否则,和死了有什么区别?„Helpsme......”
“帮帮我……”Royibehind, Paviris pleadingin a low voice.罗伊身后,帕维尔低声恳求着。„Naturally, Iwill helpyour.”
“当然,我会帮你的。”Royiturns around, likeholding the oneselfchildis ordinary, holds the Pavirface.罗伊转身,像捧起自己孩子一般,捧着帕维尔的脸庞。„What is price? What do youwant?”
“代价是什么?你要什么?”Depends on the lastreason, Paviris closely examining. Heknows,inthisworldanyone, will not helpyoufree of charge. Ifthisis a transaction, hehas thoughtallchips.
靠着最后一丝理智,帕维尔追问着。他知道,这个世界上无论是谁,都不会无偿帮助你。如果这是一场交易,那么,他早就想好所有筹码。
