„Youngbratyouplay the ndjoke-”
“小兔崽子你开nd玩笑-”FacingmystifyingTaiersi, CountAtchison Lassiazcannot endure patiently, out-of-controlstands up.
面对阴阳怪气的泰尔斯,艾奇森・拉西亚伯爵忍耐不住,失控起立。„Father, sits down!”
“父亲,坐下!”
The Counteldest sonholds on the rudefatherat the last minute, heuses the look and intonation, pressesto return to the seat the latterundeniably:
伯爵长子在最后一刻拉住失态的父亲,他用眼神和声调,不容置疑地把后者按回坐位:„You is a Count. The disrespectfulmatter, makingmecome.”
“您是伯爵。失礼的事,让我来。”CountAtchison the wing of the nosecloses and opens, breathing rapidly.
艾奇森伯爵鼻翼翕张,呼吸急促。Heis staring atoneselfeldest sonunbelievable, looksagainangrilytoTaiersi, the angersnort/humis casting off the sleeve, one side casts asideto shift.
他难以置信地盯着自己的长子,再愤然看向泰尔斯,怒哼着甩开袖子,撇头转向一边。Eddyis stern-looking, nodstoownfather.
艾迪面色严峻,对自己的父亲点了点头。Thischildfilial pietyfatheris in tandem kind, the eldest sonpositive suggestionsare appropriate, the Countaccepts good advice readily.
这一前一后子孝父慈,长子建言得体,伯爵则从善如流。Looks atTaiersiquiteto envy.
看得泰尔斯好生羡慕。Thisshouldtake the father and sonmodel, vigorously the propaganda , to promote the nation.
这该作为父子模范,大力宣传,推广全国啊。Howeversomesmallsoundresoundsinhimagain:
然而某个小小的声音再度在他心里响起:Be not confused, Taiersi.
别被迷惑了,泰尔斯。First, perhaps, can theybeforeyoulike this?
首先,也许,他们是在你面前才会这样?
The princecomplexionchanges.
王子面色一变。Next, is not the Zeplace of remote placeiftheyare, respectiveLassiazfamily that does not accumulate the poordeterioration.
其次,如果他们所在的不是偏乡僻壤的泽地,所属的不是积贫积弱的拉西亚家族。Butanotherrichlyis more powerful, has the rightto stay behindfor the posterity, butfamilyorgroup that do not needto worry the self-preservationsurvival?
而是另一个更富有更强大,有权为子孙后代留下更多,而不必忧心自保生存的家族或团体?For example...... brightstarfamily?
比如……璨星家族?Ponders over, the Counteldest sonlookstohim, the lookis sharp, askedin a soft voice:
思忖间,伯爵长子看向他,眼神锐利,轻声发问:„Why, Your highness?”
“为什么,殿下?”Why?
为什么?„Becauseyouwere used to instigateandrelease in order to catchindirectly.”
“因为你们习惯了间接挑拨与欲擒故纵。”Taiersirecovers:
泰尔斯回过神来:„Insteadcannot makethisstyleto be crude, assassinates the low levelaction of seniordukedirectly- thisdoes not conform to getting along with peoplephilosophy of four wingsgiant lizard, andno end of trouble for the future.”
“反而做不出这种风格粗暴,直接刺杀老公爵的低级举动-这不符合四翼巨蜥的处世哲学,且后患无穷。”ButEddyis staring athimas before, shakes the headunemotionally:
但艾迪依旧盯着他,面无表情地摇了摇头:„Youmisunderstood, Your highness, whatIasked: Regardless in years pastnow, usheld truebymustopposewithKevinTilfamily/home, is disadvantageousto the emeraldcity?”
“您误会了,殿下,我问的是:无论昔年还是现在,我们有什么理由要跟凯文迪尔家作对,对翡翠城不利?”Taiersislightlypressedbrow.
泰尔斯微蹙眉头。
The Counteldest sonsaidseriously:
伯爵长子严肃道:
„ Lassiazalsoin the south bank, tilled the soil and wove cloth the practical trainingfor generations, the food and clothinglivelihooddepends on the local area, affiliationKevinTilblesses, with a emeraldcityRong Jurong, suffers if either one suffers, whywemustdefecateonourdinner plate, south bank offallinginconfusion?
“拉西亚也在南岸,世世代代耕织劳作,衣食生计依托本地,藉凯文迪尔庇佑,与翡翠城一荣俱荣,一损俱损,我们为什么要在自家餐盘上拉屎,陷南岸于混乱?
„ MoreoveryourIam well aware, inthistime, byyour majestydisposition, even ifKevinTilloses power, occupiesZeplaceLassiazfamily that is not not possibleto bribe the spatialbrightpalace, the idle talkparticipationemeraldcity and south banklead(er).
“况且你我都心知肚明,在这个时代,以陛下的脾性,即便凯文迪尔失势,偏居泽地的拉西亚家族也不可能染指空明宫,遑论插足翡翠城和南岸领。„Howeverregardless of the past yearsornow, the four wingsgiant lizardmostwantsto avoid, does not consider resources bite off more than can chewfights for power and profit, is involved in the dangerouspolitical struggle, ends upmiserablefate- hascoldfortRend, nearlyhas the brightstarsevento wait on, islearns from another's mistakes.”
“而无论当年还是如今,四翼巨蜥最想避免的,就是自不量力地争权夺利,卷进危险的政治斗争,落得凄凉下场-远有寒堡亚伦德,近有璨星七侍,均乃前车之鉴。”TaiersilooksEddyseriously, silentsome little time.
泰尔斯严肃地回望艾迪,沉默了好一会儿。„Ihave also had the sameconfusion,”princeopens the mouth saying that „has no intentionto offend, butdepending onLassiazfamily'smass and ambition, ruled in one corner of the kingdomshouldsatisfy, whyto move unnecessarilyagain, confessingdisaster?”
“我也有过同样的困惑,”王子开口道,“无意冒犯,但凭拉西亚家族的体量和野心,偏安一隅就就该满足了,何必再多此一举,自招祸事?”CountAtchisonuncomfortablesnort/hum.
艾奇森伯爵不爽地哼了一声。Eddykeeps silent, waits forTaiersibelowa few words.
艾迪不言不语,等待泰尔斯的下一句话。„ThereforeIthinkat first,youdo thatarebecauseinitially the countrywas the old debt of conference: Lassiazfamilyparticipated in‚nova’, kneels downandforce an member who the kingelectsstoragein the groupstarhallcollective.”
“所以我起初以为,你们这么做是因为当初国是会议的旧债:拉西亚家族参与了‘新星’,也是在群星厅集体下跪、逼迫国王选储的一份子。”
A Taiersithread of conversationrevolution, is observingfather and son'sexpression:
泰尔斯话锋一转,观察着父子二人的表情:„Perhapsismy fathercoercesyouwiththis matter, threatensyouto be the planted agent, throws offZhanEnseizing poweremeraldcityforhim?”
“也许是我父亲拿此事要挟你们,威胁你们作内应,替他掀翻詹恩夺权翡翠城?”AtchisonCounthearswordoneanxious, mustopen the mouth, butEddyheis quicker.
艾奇森伯爵闻言一急,又要开口,但艾迪比他更快。„Perhapsthatyoushouldaskyour majesty.”
“那也许您该去问陛下。”
The Counteldest soncoldlysaid.
伯爵长子冷冷道。„After all, except for the spacestars, noteveryonewantsaltogetherdancesin the worldpeak and dragon,”, althoughEddywas usually quiet, buthisedgeis at this moment sharp, „idle talkfightswithvariousgods.”
“毕竟,除了天上星辰,并非人人都想在世界顶端与龙共舞,”虽然艾迪平素沉默寡言,可他此刻却词锋锐利,“遑论同诸神争锋。”TaiersihearsYanjinfrowns.
泰尔斯闻言紧皱眉头。Heobserved the opposite partya while, shakes the head.
他观察了对方一会儿,摇了摇头。„No, Ialsocalculate that has seen the highly placed people across manykingdom, theyhave own axe to grindallhard to deal with, even if the ruledtakes the mightto compel, is forcedto become the board game piece, does perfunctorilyat most, complies in public but opposes in private.”
“不,我也算见过不少王国各地的达官贵人了,他们各怀鬼胎个个难缠,纵然被统治者拿强权相逼,被迫成为棋子,也顶多是虚应故事,阳奉阴违。”Inthatsecond, inhismindflashes through the forms of many.
那一秒里,他的脑海里闪过不少人的身影。„Butyou, Lassiaz, inthisstruggle, yourmethods is so ingeniously attractive: The original intentionstandpoint of eachchess, seeminglyis loyal to the duke, but if byresultresult, actuallydisadvantageousZhanEn......, if not the note of Brennenjudge, others do not have the trace to follow , without the evidencemayrefer to......”
“可是你们,拉西亚,在这场斗争里,你们的手段却如此漂亮巧妙:每一步棋的初衷立场,都看似忠于公爵,可若论结果成效,却都不利詹恩……若非布伦南审判官的笔记,旁人毫无痕迹可循,毫无证据可指……”„Your highnessis proofless, the personalnotesubjectivespeculation of onlyseveralaginglong-pending case, is rather bitterly disappointing.”Eddysaidin a soft voice.
“殿下既无证据,单凭几本陈年旧案的私人笔记主观臆测,未免令人心寒。”艾迪轻声道。CountAtchisonbacked upuncomfortable:
艾奇森伯爵不爽地帮腔:„Yes!”
“就是!”„Butperhaps this alsoanotherexplanations,”butTaiersimentalityis clear, was not disturbed, „inthisinthrowing offZhanEnpolitical storm, youconcentrated on the energy and cost, was forcedpeople, reluctant, complied in public but opposed in private more , be biggerandis more completebymy fatherthese.”
“但或许这还有另一个解释,”但泰尔斯思路清晰,丝毫不受干扰,“在这场旨在掀翻詹恩的政治风暴里,你们投注其间的精力和成本,远比那些被我父亲逼迫、不情不愿、阳奉阴违的人们更多、更大、更完备。”Eddyvisionmoves.
艾迪目光一动。„Youare not forced, butisspontaneous, initiative, positive, deliberately plans, andwhole-heartedly, can therefore dosoflawlessly, cunningsuch asZhanEncould not find that the clue, Itracedfull powercannot grasp the handle.”
“你们并不是被迫的,而是自发的、主动的、积极的,处心积虑且全力以赴,因此才能做得如此天衣无缝,奸猾如詹恩都发现不了端倪,就连我全力追查也拿不住把柄。”Taiersiis categorical.
泰尔斯斩钉截铁。
Before CountAtchisonthreatens, heard that the wordactuallycomplexionchanges, hecarries the tea, buries the expressionin the cup, evenTaiersiremindedhimnot to forgetsweeteningwithout enough time.
艾奇森伯爵之前气势汹汹,闻言却面色一变,他端起茶,把表情埋在杯子里,连泰尔斯都来不及提醒他别忘了加糖。Eddydisdainscoldsnort/hum:
艾迪则不屑冷哼:„Your highnessrecognized that weare the secretevil behind-the-scenes manipulators, does not worryto give a pretext.”
“殿下既认定我们是幕后黑手,自是不愁借口。”Taiersiis silent, calmlylooks at each otherwith the Counteldest son of visiondanger.
泰尔斯沉默下来,跟目光危险的伯爵长子静静对视。
By CountAtchison'sdrinks upcuptea, remembersoneselfforgotsweetening the time, Taiersishows a faint smile.
直到艾奇森伯爵把杯里的茶喝完,才想起自己忘了加糖的时候,泰尔斯微微一笑。Heextractsseveralpages of documentsfrom the drawer, advancesin front oftwohonored guests:
他从抽屉里抽出几页文件,推到两位贵客面前:„Thisis a land surveyingproof, writes upby the emeraldcitynotarizationhall.”
“这是一份土地测量证明,由翡翠城公证厅出具。”Lassiazfather and sonare startledimmediately, in pairsleans forward.
拉西亚父子顿时一怔,双双前倾。Whensees clearlyon the paperthat moment of writing, theirslightlylook changes.
待看清纸上文字的那一刻,他们微微色变。Taiersipoints atto knock on, inthiscertificate , inthiswas almost sold cheapon the land that changes moneybecause of the emeraldcityfinancial crisis.
泰尔斯手指叩动,点在这份证明上,也点在这块差点因翡翠城财政危机而被贱卖换钱的土地上。Thestretch of open land that „the south bankgets, situated inbrightdaytown/subduessouthwest. Itsformerfeudal lordinvests the failure, indebted, unfortunatelybankruptcy. Luckily, the starskingdomregulationis generous, the civilizationcultures, according tobrutalbackwardempire , without compelledhisentire familyto sell into servitudefor the slave, the generationrenders back the money.”
“南岸领的这片荒地,位于烁日镇西南。它的前领主投资失败,债台高筑,不幸破产。幸好,星辰王国律法宽厚,文明开化,没有按照残酷落后的帝国古法,逼他全家卖身为奴,世代还钱。”Alsohas not returned to the barbaricancientoriginalconvention, wantshimto chop the handto chop the footto go to the sufficientdebt.
也没有回到野蛮古老的原始惯例,要他剁手剁脚去充债。At this point, Taiersicannot help butremembers itselfalsoin the northernplace, almostby„by stagesrepays a debt” the time.
说到这里,泰尔斯不由得想起自己还在北地,差点被“分期还债”的时候。„However the advancedemerald city lawgoes a step further: The relevant departmentsreceive the application, provides the service, helpingthisfeudal lordsell outthisplaceto repay a debt, naturally, wassold to bid the most justbigmerchant groupandperson of great wealth, perhapsbigaristocrat.”
“而先进的翡翠城城律则更进一步:有关部门收到申请,提供服务,帮这位领主卖掉这块地还债,当然,是卖给出价最公道的大商团、大财主,也许还有大贵族。”Taiersithread of conversationsatirized, Lassiazfather and sonexpressionpondered.
泰尔斯的话头不无讽刺,拉西亚父子则表情玩味。
The privilegepays off a debt in labor, cancels the debt, the complement, regardless, deals with the bad debtsissueperfectly, not onlyhumanityandadvanced.
特权抵债,勾销欠款,余数不论,完美处理烂账问题,既人道又先进。Howto assignas for the income......
至于进账怎么分配嘛……„But if mypersonhas not made a mistake, thisopen landonce-, whenit is also not the open land- isyourZeaffiliatedfiefdom,”Taiersiis crooked the head, „as fortheyoungfeudal lord of bankruptcy, perhapsupwardseveralseveralgenerations, but alsohas ties of kinshipwithyou?”
“可若我的人没弄错,这块荒地曾经-当它还不是荒地的时候-是你们泽地旗下的封地,”泰尔斯歪着头颅,“至于破产的这个小领主,也许往上数几代,还跟你们沾亲带故?”Lassiazfather and sonwere startled.
拉西亚父子都怔住了。ButTaiersiholds up the teacupat a moderate pace, is observingthemvery muchcalm.
而泰尔斯不紧不慢地举起茶杯,很是淡定地观察着他们。Onesecondandtwosecondsandthreeseconds.
一秒、两秒、三秒。Finally, Counttakes the lead unable to repress, for:
终于,伯爵本人率先按捺不住,为难道:„Before actuallythislandis very long,......”
“其实这块土地很久以前就……”ButTaiersithumpputs down the teacup, brokehim:
可泰尔斯咚地一声放下茶杯,打断了他:„Queendayandemeraldcelebration, thisis the south bankleadsgrandsituation in a year, variousgroup of highly placed peopleallincomparablyattach great importance, contactpublic relationsduring the celebration, verymerry- except forLassiazfamily.”
“王后日和翡翠庆典,这是南岸领一年中的盛大场合,各路达官贵人皆无比重视,在庆典期间往来社交,好不快活-除了拉西亚家族。”Lassiazfather and sonkeep silent, is only the expressionis stiff.
拉西亚父子不言不语,只是表情僵硬。„You who believe in the setting sunQiuorchidbrancharebriefsimple, is mysterious and roving, the badhuman relations that becomes famousare unhappyshow off.”
“信奉落日裘兰兹分支的你们是出了名的简约素朴,行踪神秘,不善交际也不喜出风头。”Taiersilooked attheironeeyesrespectively.
泰尔斯各看了他们一眼。„For tenyearscelebrationeach time, youwent to the emeraldcity, except foris fighting the feasthaving an audience withduketo make an appearance, Kamikoudonomakes a prayer, walkssaid goodbyeagain, othertimeslived in seclusion and declined visitors, thoroughJane/simplehad/leftseveralsuch astemplemember- untilthis year.”
“十年来的每次庆典,你们到了翡翠城,除了在争锋宴觐见公爵露个面,上神殿做个祷告,走的时候再告个别,其他时候均是闭门谢客,深入简出几如神殿修士-直到今年。”Taiersishows a faint smile, after smiling , the sincereaustereword:
泰尔斯微微一笑,笑完之后正色肃言:„Butthisis notbecauseyourfamiliesare insipid, is unsocial, is not the beliefbears hardships and stands hard work- excuse that intendsto build. As forrealreason......”
“但这并不是因为你们家族性格寡淡,不善交际,更不是什么信仰吃苦耐劳-那只是有意营造出来的借口。至于真正的原因……”
The princereads the notarial deed on table, slightly a stop:
王子看着桌上的公证书,略一停顿:„Is poor.”
“是穷啊。”
The princesighedin a soft voice, sympathize, sincerety.
王子轻声叹息,感同身受,真情实意。
The study roomis peaceful.
书房重新安静下来。Twoguestsput aside the line of sight.
两位客人均撇开了视线。CountAtchison the doublefistarrives at the knee, grips tightlyto shiver.
艾奇森伯爵双拳抵膝,紧握颤抖。Eddylowers the head, the expressionmeasuresnot, does not utter a word.
艾迪低着头,表情莫测,一声不吭。„For quite some time, oncedayhigh groundbutself-sufficientZestartsto decline: The annual incomeis not abundant, the financeis weak, the landgoes out of cultivation, the manpower drain, variouslevelsseal the feudal officialfeudal lordto be unable to make ends meet unable to continue, repair odds and endsto borrow money the mountain.”Taiersicoldlysaid.
“不知从何时开始,曾经天高地远但是自给自足的泽地开始没落:岁入不丰,财政不支,土地抛荒,劳力外流,各层封臣领主入不敷出无以为继,拆东补西借债成山。”泰尔斯冷冷道。
The fist of CountAtchisonshiverseven morefiercely.
艾奇森伯爵的拳头颤抖得越发厉害。„As forsomeCountfamily, onebeing able to passbanquetformal clothes, has toshort-timerenting. Is dignifiedfor the family, but must covertly, not dareto makeoneknow.”
“至于某伯爵家族,就连一套过得去的宴会礼服,都不得不短时租赁。为了家族体面,还要偷偷摸摸,不敢令人知晓。”Eddyhas not spokenas before.
艾迪依旧没有说话。„Howevertheywere just late, is notbecausegoes out of townto go hunting,”Taiersisobbed, „, because myinvitationcametoohastily, urged is also anxious, the time limitwas too short, theymustfind the excuse, wearsteamrules and regulations that quicklycollectedto enter the palaceto have an audience with need, clothing and accessories......”
“而他们刚刚迟到,不是因为出城打猎,”泰尔斯不由唏嘘,“而是因为我的请柬来得太仓促,催得又太急切,时限太短暂,他们必须找借口,着急忙慌地去凑齐进宫觐见所需的队伍规制,服装饰品……”Seeingthemwas unresponsive,Taiersihas todeliberatelyshoot a look atsimplerough the travelsafari suittothem:
见他们毫无反应,泰尔斯不得不刻意瞥向他们身上简朴粗糙的旅行猎装:„Iguess,has not collected.”
“我猜,到底是没凑齐嘛。”Crash-bang!
哗啦!Thissecond, CountAtchisonindignantstands up, bristles with anger!
这一秒,艾奇森伯爵愤而起立,怒发冲冠!„Even if you are a your highness, cannotinsultus!”
“纵然您是殿下,也不能如此侮辱我们!”Eddyis following close onstanding up, the complexionis serious:
艾迪紧跟着起立,面色严肃:„!”
“正是!”Buthehelpsfather'scavity, immediately the shoulder of holding downopposite party:
但他帮完父亲的腔,随即按住对方的肩膀:„Has not related, the father, sits down.”
“没关系的,父亲,坐下。”CountAtchison the chestfluctuates, hiscomplexionis ugly, after shooting a look at an eldest son, is swayingsitting down, somewhatis quite scared.
艾奇森伯爵胸膛起伏,他面色难看,瞥了一眼长子后摇晃着坐下,颇有些失魂落魄。Taiersihas not responded, butnarrows the eyeto continueto observe.
泰尔斯没有回应,只是眯起眼睛继续观察。
The Counteldest sonturns head, the expressionis appropriate, the toneis callous:
伯爵长子回过头来,言辞得体,语气却冷酷:„Qiuorchidprophethas the word: The thriftis the moral excellence, should nottakethisas the shame.”
“裘兰兹先知有言:节俭是美德,不应以此为耻。”„Iagreed,”Taiersinods, „, butthriftyis the proactivechoice, butembarrassedwas actually forced.”
“我同意,”泰尔斯点点头,“但节俭是主动的选择,可困窘却是被逼无奈。”Saw that CountAtchisonalsohas the trend that mustmanifest suddenly, Taiersimakes concessionshastily:
眼看艾奇森伯爵又有要发作的趋势,泰尔斯连忙退让:„Pleaseforgive, Ideliberatelydo not expose shortcomings, has no intentionto take lightly the expensive/noblefamily, not by any case the abuse that the rich and poormeasure the personheight.”
“请原谅,我不是刻意揭短,也无意看轻贵家族,更没有以贫富贵贱量人高低的恶习。”Hesighedonelightly:
他轻叹一声:„ButIguess that theseyears- perhapscontinuestheseyears- the south banklead(er)takes a kingdomthroughoutmost fierycorner, when undernursing of severalgenerations of rulers, because oftransformson the potentialsuddenly: The industry and commercedevelopment, immigratesto gather, the civiliansjump, the person with newly acquired wealthgrows thickly, the land transfer, the resource development, the seatradeis fiery, the finance and taxationdoubles, as the emeraldcity of Lordcityis the rapidadvance, rich and populousamplehundredtimesinpassing.”
“但我猜这些年来-也许不止这些年-南岸领作为王国全境最火热的一隅,在数代统治者的看护下,因时应势急剧转变:工商发展,移民汇聚,平民跃升,新贵丛生,土地流转,资源开发,海贸火热,财税翻番,作为主城的翡翠城则更是飞速前进,富庶宽裕百倍于过往。”Taiersistops, lookstotwoguests:
泰尔斯停顿一下,看向两位客人:„Howeversituated in the emeraldcitysouthwest, the topographycomplexjungleis densely covered, the remote placeresourcesare barren, seals up the conservativeZeplacenaturally, comparatively speakingactuallymarks, and evendeclinesstep by step, sceneryno longer.”
“然而位居翡翠城西南,却地势复杂丛林密布,偏乡僻壤资源贫瘠,天然封闭保守的泽地,相较之下却原地踏步,乃至步步衰落,风光不再。”Such remarks, Lassiazfather and sonare silent.
此言一出,拉西亚父子都沉默不语。„Right, inthatcase that the trial courtexaminedbefore, thatbaseindustrydeclineis utterly destitute, reducestobrings a lawsuitwith the copper coinwith the farmers of ownpossessionbecause ofseveral, actuallyonlyends upmutually woundedBaronTrent......”
“没错,审判厅之前审的那件案子里,那位基业没落家徒四壁,沦落到因几个同铜板同自家属地的农户们打官司,却只落得两败俱伤的的特伦特男爵……”Taiersireturns to the drawer the notarial deedstopper:
泰尔斯把公证书塞回抽屉:„JustisyourLassiazfamiliesprojectson the flooraristocrats, mostsimply is also the most typicalminiature.”
“只不过是你们拉西亚家族投射在底层贵族们身上的,最浅显也是最典型的缩影罢了。”Thump!
咚!Taiersicloses the drawerlayer on layer/heavily.
泰尔斯重重地合上抽屉。As ifalsoclosedthisroundtopic.
仿佛也合上了这一回合的话题。
The wordshence, CountAtchisonhas closed one's eyessadly.
话已至此,艾奇森伯爵怆然闭眼。
The Counteldest sonbites the lower liptightly, maintains total silence.
伯爵长子则紧咬下唇,一语不发。„Butyouafter allare one of the 13prominent families: The four wingsgiant lizard in swampcan the dormantlackey, butdoes not dieinsuffocating.”
“但你们毕竟是十三望族之一:沼泽中的四翼巨蜥可以蛰伏爪牙,但绝不殁于窒息。”Taiersisees the crucial momentalready the foot, immediately a thread of conversationrevolution:
泰尔斯见火候已足,立刻话锋一转:„Therefore11years ago, whenViscountThorneris representinghisbehindoldaristocrat and oldinfluence, tohisdukeeldest brothermakes waroutrageously, youare also ready to make trouble.”
“于是十一年前,当索纳子爵代表着他身后的老贵族、旧势力,向他的公爵长兄悍然开战的时候,你们也蠢蠢欲动。”LassiazCountfather and sonsimultaneous/uniformsimultaneous/uniformraised the head, a lookis vigilant, an expressionis complex.
拉西亚伯爵父子齐齐抬头,一个眼神警惕,一个表情复杂。„Ithink, the LunsiteseniordukeandhisbrothersThorner'sstruggle, placingin the iris flowerfamilyisdismalbrothers quarrel at home, mayplace the emeraldcityand even the south banklead(er), is actually in the differentgroupdifferentclasses, a bloodypowershowdown.”
“我想,伦斯特老公爵和他兄弟索纳的斗争,放在鸢尾花家族里是悲凉的兄弟阋墙,可放在翡翠城乃至南岸领,却是不同团体不同阶层之间,一场血淋淋的权力对决。”Taiersiaffirms the said/tunnel.
泰尔斯肯定地道。Is the south bankleadsunder the background that the extreme speedgoes forward, amongincreasingly estrangeddifferenthierarchs, for one of the respectivebenefittimeeliminatesbrutally.
更是南岸领极速前进的背景下,渐行渐远的不同掌权者之间,为了各自利益的一次残酷淘汰。„Butcomparesin the family that in the past thatstruggledeclined, four wingsgiant lizardcaution and care. Youneverattackdirectly, onlyinmakes an effortin secret, isaboutmeasureson the wayconsidersrepeatedly, evenafter the seniordukepassed awaychangespromptly, changes the entrance, wasstandsafter allright the position. Althoughnottotal victory, buthas not become enemieswith the finalwinnerfinally, is insufficientto be criticizedby the newdukeafterward.”
“但相比起在当年那场斗争中没落的家族,四翼巨蜥谨慎小心。你们从不正面出击,只在暗中使力,途中更是左右权衡反复思量,甚至在老公爵亡故之后及时摇身一变,改换门庭,总归是站对了位置。虽然未曾全胜,但总算没跟最后的赢家结仇,不至于被新公爵事后清算。”Taiersishakes the headslowly, shakes offjust nowinserting funny dialog, shakes off the Lassiazfamily'sfinaldignity:
泰尔斯缓缓摇头,摇掉方才的插科打诨,也摇掉拉西亚家族最后的尊严:„Unfortunately, does not know that wasZhanEnsees throughyourblowing hot and coldto be undecided, the Zefeudal lordsbackwardrule and life styletrulycould not catch up with the step that the timewent forward, orwasLassiazfamilycontains errorsto the forecast that the newdukewas in power- youhave not drunkcelebrateGong the liquor that ZhanEnmounted the stage.”
“可惜的是,不知是詹恩看穿了你们的摇摆不定首鼠两端,还是泽地领主们落后的统治与生活方式确实跟不上时代前进的步伐,抑或是拉西亚家族对新公爵执政的预测有误-你们没喝到詹恩上台的庆功酒。”Or after drinkingnext, discovers the dyspepsia.
或者说,喝下之后,才发现消化不良。
The medicineis not just right.
药不对症。„EvenWarraleadsgraduallyto transform, KaraBillenfamily/homeatinsistence of youngbeing in powerperson, rides the convenience of emeraldcityto be rich and populousslowly.

“连沃拉领都在逐渐转变,卡拉比扬家在年轻掌权人的坚持下,慢慢乘着翡翠城的便利富庶起来。可泽地却依然如故:也许外人不知,但每况愈下的你们,早就成了王国最富庶的南岸领里,最穷困也是最刺眼的那一部分,其贫富高下之差,更胜北境、崖地、刀锋等出了名的穷旮沓或边境地。”
The wordstohere, Eddysuddenlyare lightsnort/hum, does not knowmeaning.
话到此处,艾迪突然轻哼一声,不知意味。„Therefore, whenFedericohas the goalto return, especiallyknewbehind when him is also standingmy father,”„you who princesinkingsound said, goes toward the end of one's dayshave no alternative, can only grabthisfinalstraw.”
“所以,当费德里科带着目标归来,特别是得知他背后还站着我父亲时,”王子沉声道,“日暮途穷的你们别无选择,只能抓住这最后的稻草。”Taiersivoicefalls.
泰尔斯话音落下。CountAtchisonloosens the fistfinally, dejectedbypouringonchairback.
艾奇森伯爵终于松开拳头,颓然靠倒在椅背上。„Naturally, youinherit the family tradition, is not outas beforepersonally, opposes the enemyon own initiative, butreleases in order to catch, does things the other way round,”Taiersirestrains the tone, expressed the understanding and sympathyas far as possible, „was freewith the swivel, even iflost, cansecure against losspromptly, was injuredlimitedly.”
“当然,你们继承家风,依旧不亲自下场,主动对敌,只是欲擒故纵,反其道而行,”泰尔斯收敛语气,尽量表达出理解与同情,“是以转圜自如,纵然输了,也能及时止损,受伤有限。”
A Taiersivoicerevolution, visionbrilliant:
泰尔斯话音一转,目光灼灼:„Naturally, the aboveis onlymyguess, ifsaid the mistake, but alsopleasebe liberal with the correction.”
“当然,以上都只是我的猜测,若所言有错,还请你们不吝勘误。”Lassiazfather and sonfacial expressionis stiff, the visionis lost in thought that silentfor a long time was very very long.
拉西亚父子神情僵硬,目光出神,沉默了很久很久。Taiersidid not speak, did not urge, butreplied the surplusofficial documentswholly absorbed.
泰尔斯也不说话,更不催促,只是专心致志地批复剩余的公文。As ifjustdialoguehas not happened, butoppositeguestdoes not exist.
仿佛刚刚的对话没发生,而对面的客人也不存在。
The remainingthings, making the timebe solved.
剩下的事情,让时间来解决。Finally, after severalminutes, CountLassiazheaved a deep sigh:
终于,好几分钟后,拉西亚伯爵长叹一声:„Your highness, actually do youwantusto makewhat?”
“殿下,您究竟要我们做什么?”Taiersismiled.
泰尔斯笑了。Was eventually successful.
终究是成功了。Hewhenset requirement, butnearbyCounteldest sonactuallycoldsnort/hum:
他正待提出要求,可一旁的伯爵长子却冷哼一声:„Iremember,your highnessexercises the aristocratto arbitrate the power, lockswithDukeZhanEn, tracesKevinTillong-pending case, does not know that nowcanhave the progress?”
