Chapter 725acts bashful(First Part)
第725章拿捏(上)
The spatialbrightpalace, inZhanEnroom, Taiersisits well the main hall, silent.
空明宫,詹恩的房间里,泰尔斯端坐正厅,沉默不语。„Did Doylefamily/home, youexamine the starter?”
“多伊尔家的,你验完餐点了吗?”ZhanEnvoicecoldlyresounds, does not concealhisdislikewithnot to bear:
詹恩的声音冷冷响起,毫不掩饰他的厌恶与不耐:„Does not know that in hasto intoxicate? Has the gasserto give the message the paper?”
“不知道里面有没有下毒?有没有加塞传递消息的纸条?”ZhanEnback, D. D in oppositeleaninghallholds the tableware, pulls outfrom the dinner plate of fulltable the face.
詹恩的背后,对面偏厅里的D.D手执餐具,把脸从满桌的餐盘上拔起来。„?- Was quick, was quick.”
“啊?哦-快了,快好了。”Doylemouthfulis greasy, hearswordalsostared atZhanEnoneeyeswickedly, digsbigspoon of mashed potatoes since dinner platein confusioneverywhere, bites the mouth, stance that a evensoup spoonmustbite:
多伊尔满嘴油腻,闻言还恶狠狠地盯了詹恩一眼,又从满目狼藉的餐盘上挖起一大勺土豆泥,咬进嘴里,一副连汤匙都要咬碎的架势:„Requeststo waitagain, butafter allyoubigduke, great person! The statusis honoredandimportant, musthave an accident, hey, my family backgroundmirrorriverlittlefamily'sfamily whose fortunes are on the decline may be unable to take on-, oryoufirstplayto playmysmallrag dollbear, in order to avoid being bored?”
“烦请再等等,毕竟您可是大公爵,大人物咧!身份尊贵又重要,要出了什么事,嘿,我这出身镜河小家族的破落户可担待不起-要不您先玩玩儿我的小布偶熊,以免无聊?”ZhanEnturns headto lookto the rag dollbear on table, detestspurses the lips.
詹恩扭头看向餐桌上的布偶熊,嫌恶地抿了抿嘴。Hesuppresses the burning sensation in abdomen, looksto the clock:
他强忍腹中的烧灼感,又看向时钟:Meals and snacksalreadyover the past hour.
饭点已经过去一小时了。That sidetheater box, D. Deatsgrilled meat, does not forgetto exude the murmur.
那边厢,D.D又吃掉一口烧肉,不忘发出啧啧赞叹声。
The south bankdukeis driven beyond the limits of forbearancefinally:
南岸公爵终于忍无可忍:„You are also examineforyour familyyour highnessmeal?”
“你也是这么为你家殿下验餐的吗?”„, Yousaidright!”
“诶,您说对了!”D. Dleftright, howhas not forgottento strike an attitudeto feedlittlebear on table( „youto select food, no wondercannot grow up! Youare not willingto tryto eatin advance, how does dukeSireat? Clever, opens mouth,......”):
D.D左一口右一口,还不忘作势喂桌上的小熊(“你怎么这么挑食啊,难怪长不大咧!啧啧,你不肯先行试吃,那公爵大人怎么吃嘛?乖,张嘴,啊啊啊……”):„Iinitially was also such-, sorry, was quick.”
“我当初也是这么-咳咳,抱歉,快好了。”InTaiersidoes not haveunder the bent spotting tool that the omen, comes, D. Dtold only halfwearily.
在泰尔斯毫无预兆、突然而来的眼刀之下,D.D说到一半就委顿了下去。Doylelowers the headobediently, putting downhim- exactlysaidisZhanEn- starter, hides in the distant place.
多伊尔乖乖低头,放下他-确切地说是詹恩的-餐点,躲到远处。ZhanEnandTaiersilook at each otherone, the atmosphere in roomimmediatelychanges, falls into the suffocatingsilence.
詹恩和泰尔斯对视一眼,房间里的气氛顿时一变,陷入令人窒息的沉默。„Was too regrettable.”
“太遗憾了。”ZhanEnqingsighedone.
詹恩轻叹一声。„Noticemy fatherand I have a high opinion ofhimvery much- SirBrennenleaves the world, the war casualty of emeraldcity, does not have to fill.”
“须知我父亲和我都很倚重他-布伦南大人离世,翡翠城之殇,无以填补。”Taiersisits quietlyits, without the reply, packs the wine the wine glassto placehimon hand, has not actually moved.
泰尔斯安坐其位,没有回答,装满葡萄酒的酒杯就放在他手边,却一口未动。„Promisesme, catches the murderer, the exonerationjustice.”
“答应我,抓到凶手,昭雪正义。”„Naturally,”Taiersiopens the mouthin a soft voice, „, if on the day of I can also wait till.”
“当然,”泰尔斯轻声开口,“如果我还能等到那一天的话。”ZhanEnnods.
詹恩点了点头。„Emeraldcityhow?”
“翡翠城怎样了?”„Was worse.”
“更糟了。”Taiersiraised the head, the lookis indifferent:
泰尔斯抬起头,眼神冷漠:
„ Severalbigmerchant groupsjoin upto seek an interviewme, requested that Itakemeasure- marketdisorder, the priceis not steady, has startedto affecttheirincomes and futureplans.
“十几个大商团联合起来求见我,请求我采取措施-市场紊乱,物价不稳,已经开始影响他们的进项和未来计划了。„Emeraldregimentissues salariespromptly, the good and evilstood firm, butanothercrowdreceives the wind sound/rumor, to knowoneself were very been possibly discontentedby the buildingbureaupetty local official of back pay, somepeopleplanto promote a flash newsduring the celebration-, butwas discoveredpromptly, nowis still negotiating.”
“翡翠军团及时发薪,好歹是稳住了,但是另一群收到风声、知道自己可能被欠薪的营建署吏员很不满,有人打算在庆典期间搞个大新闻-但被及时发现,现在还在谈判。”„?”ZhanEncarriesoneglass of liquorgracefully, fills the sense of hunger in abdomen.
“哦?”詹恩优雅地端起一杯酒,填补腹中的饥饿感。
„ The place of bloodbottlehelp/ganghad an accident, the factionopen fight between factions, the streetmesses up, startsto affect the ordinary citizengradually, the legend of watercorpseghostcauses a clamor......
“血瓶帮的地头又出事了,帮派火并,街头乱套,渐渐开始影响普通市民,水尸鬼的传说又甚嚣尘上……
„ In addition the trial courtdespondency, the recentpublic securitycasepiles uptoomany, the prisonwas also quickcompletely, can only more than tencriminalroom, the securityhallcomplainonetime each hour, said that wasinsideturns into the criminal syndicatebranchquickly, buttheircontroleffectswere also limited.
“加上审判厅士气低落,最近的治安案件积压太多,监狱也快满了,只能十几个犯人一间房,警戒厅每小时抱怨一次,说是里头快变成黑帮分部了,而他们的管束效果也有限。„The leadercoincidence of buildingbureaugot sick, the assistantcannot make a decision, shrinks a reducing government interference with economic activityorder unable to carry out, onceIget angry to replace the candidate......”
“营建署的头头巧合地病了,副手拿不了主意,缩支减政的命令迟迟执行不下去,而一旦我发怒想要撤换人选……”Taiersicoldsnort/hum:
泰尔斯冷哼一声:„As for the finance officewith the city hall, is still wranglingby the present, so long asprobablyshrinksbeginskicks the balltoothers, lost the responsibilitytootherdepartments, matterpulls, issueoneselfsolved was the same.”
“至于财政司和市政厅,到现在还在扯皮,好像只要缩起头把球踢给别人,把责任丢给其他部门,事情就扯过去了,问题就自己解决了一样。”Outsidewhichmanages the floodis dreadful, onedaymustfloodandfinally.
哪管外头洪水滔天,终有一日必淹及自身。Taiersiwants saying that the moodis unsatisfactory.
泰尔斯这么想道,心情不佳。ZhanEnting such a long string, nodsslightly, subsequentlyloses one's voicesmiles.
詹恩听了这么一长串,微微颔首,继而失声一笑。„Thatisonecrowdmixesball, right.”
“那就是一群混球儿,对吧。”Taiersilookstohim.
泰尔斯看向他。Sees onlyZhanEnhuang the wine glass, has endless emotion:
只见詹恩晃着酒杯,感慨不已:
„ Theyobey ordersfrom the beginning the conduct, is seemingly loyal and devoted, makesasyou of lordquitesatisfied, thinks that theycanperform its own functions, helpyourulesmoothly.
“他们一开始听令行事,看上去忠心耿耿,让作为主子的你颇为满意,以为他们能各司其职,助你顺利统治。„Butquick, youwill discover, link that theyinalmosteverypossiblyhave problems- detailthat could not be smaller- onhas problems, orintends, eitherhas no interest, eitherself-interest, eithertakes advantage of opportunity, can always find the slit and hollow in constructionlike the clothes eating insect, nidifiesto settle down.”
“但很快,你会发现,他们会在几乎每一个可能出问题的环节-小得不能再小的细节-上出问题,或有意,或无心,或自利,或顺势,就像蛀虫总能找到建筑里的缝隙和中空,筑巢定居。”ZhanEnlookonetight:
詹恩眼神一紧:
„ Therefore the timeis long, from top to bottom a heterogeneity, the disease, is full of loopholeseverywhere, butyoumake all-out effortsalsoonly to patch, west eastmountssticks.
“于是时间一长,从上到下一片斑驳,处处弊病,漏洞百出,而你铆足了劲也只能修修补补,东裱西糊。
„ Even, every so often, you can only anddeceitfullead by the nosebytheirfeigning madness and playing dumbcunningly, even ifknows, cannotmanifest suddenly.
“甚至,很多时候,你只能被他们的装疯卖傻和狡诈机心牵着鼻子走,纵然知晓,也不能发作。„Finallyyoudiscovered, even ifsitsin the highest place, youalso can only comply withthissystem, thismechanicalrevolutionprinciple and approximatedirection, the part that JiLi, inside the use can also useas far as possiblewith every effort, adroitly guides action according to circumstances, drifts with the current, is actually unable to save the situation.”
“最终你发现,哪怕坐在最高处,你也只能顺应这个系统、这部机械的运转原理和大致方向,尽量从中汲利,尽力利用里头还能用的部分,因势利导,随波逐流,却无力回天。”ZhanEnsaid that these words, silentwas very long, lookstoTaiersi.
詹恩说完了这番话,沉默了很久,看向泰尔斯。But the princeis looking athimspookily, did not answer.
但王子只是幽幽地望着他,并不回话。ZhanEndanglinghead, thought deeply aboutgoodonecarefully, suddenlysighed, probablymadeanythingto decide.
詹恩垂下头,细细思索了好一阵,突然叹了口气,像是做出了什么决定。„, Mythiswrites a letter,”dukeputs down the wine glass, before arriving at the desksits down, takes a pen, „youtake awaybeing the family of funeralindustrybusiness, theyare inKevinTil'sdebt, saw the letter/believes, will draw out10,000gold coinstoyou, naturally, ifyourcharmis enough, couldtake more.”
“罢了,我这就写一封信,”公爵放下酒杯,走到书桌前坐下,拿起一支笔,“你带去给做丧葬业生意的波蓬家族,他们欠凯文迪尔的债,见了信,会给你支取一万金币,当然,如果你个人魅力足够,也许能拿多一些。”Taiersilookmoves.
泰尔斯眼神一动。„Why.”
“为什么。”„Requestswiththismoneyelaborate funeralSirBrennen, after mustmakehediespeaceful, with the secureemeraldcitywill of the people,”ZhanEntoudoes not lift, butwrites with vigor, „other, youcantake awaygreatly the fillfinancedebt, temporarilydifficulty.”
“烦请用这笔钱厚葬布伦南大人,务必让他死后安宁,以安翡翠城人心,”詹恩头也不抬,只是奋笔疾书,“余下的,你大可以拿去填补财政亏空,暂度难关。”At this point, ZhanEnvisionmoves:
说到这里,詹恩目光一动:„Also, thatLausannesecondmanaging, medoes not wantto seehimmurdercable/searchlife/commandagaininmydomain, lawless.”
“还有,把那个洛桑二世给办了,我不想再看见他在我的地盘上杀人索命,无法无天。”Taiersitakes up the wine glass that has not moved, strokes gentlygently, the visionactuallydeadlockson the opposite party.
泰尔斯拿起一口未动的酒杯,轻轻摩挲,目光却锁死在对方身上。„But ifIdo not bringyourletter/believes, oneselfgoto ask for moneywiththem, evenlends money,”hesatirized, „thatthinkswasincluding a copper coinnot to go begging, right?”
“但如果我不带你的信,自己去跟他们要钱,甚至去借钱,”他讽刺道,“那想必是连一个铜板都乞讨不到的,对么?”„Thatis uncertain,”ZhanEntoudoes not lift, anxiouslyis not angry, „perhapsyourevealed that deliversyourancientempiresword the westwildold bones, are theywilling?”
“那倒不一定,”詹恩头也不抬,不急不恼,“也许你亮出那把西荒老骨头送你的古帝国剑,他们就肯了呢?”Taiersiscoffs at the soundto smile.
泰尔斯嗤声而笑。„Hugedebt, the downwardmarket, the disorderlyprice, the public security of rottening, the bureaucrat of complying in public but opposing in private, the emeraldcityin great confusion,”Taiersiis scolding each articlematter, the toneis caustic and mean, „whatmatter can 10,000gold coinsgo against?”
“庞大的债务,下行的市场,无序的物价,糟烂的治安,阳奉阴违的官僚,乱成一团的翡翠城,”泰尔斯数落着一件件事,语气尖酸刻薄,“一万金币能顶什么事儿?”„Thatwasyourissue,”ZhanEnwritingkept, actuallylooked at the guest, „Taiersiregent government?”
“那就是你的问题了,”詹恩笔下不停,却把目光投向客人,“泰尔斯摄政?”Taiersiis holding appreciatively the wine glass, staticsilent.
泰尔斯只是把玩着酒杯,静静沉默。„As the citylord, youreallyunderstandsBrennen?”
“作为城主,你真的了解布伦南吗?”ZhanEnfrownsslightly.
詹恩微微蹙眉。Taiersiremembersthatwill, sighs with emotion:
泰尔斯想起那封遗书,略带感慨:„Hislast wishis the shabby funeral, does not keep the tombstone, does not keep the writing, simplyis better, even the bone ashsprinklesin the sea.”
“他的遗愿是薄葬,不留墓碑,不留文字,越简单越好,连骨灰都洒进大海里。”ZhanEnwritingstops.
詹恩笔下一停。„So that's how it is, shabby funeral, thrifty.”
“原来如此,薄葬,节俭。”Heputs down the pen, knits the browsto lookoneselfwrotehalf ofletters, the visioninthisphrasesolidifiesat‚elaborate funeral’.
他放下笔,皱眉看着自己写了一半的信,目光在‘厚葬’这个词组上凝固。
After severalseconds, ZhanEnqingsighedone, againwithbeginning a stroke, continuedto write.
几秒后,詹恩轻叹一声,重新拿起笔,继续书写。„Doesn't matter, Iwill writethisletter/believes, youdepend onitto draw cashin the same old way. Even ifdid not do the funeralto be good, Brennendied a violent death, flustered, the trial courtentireemeraldCityGovernment, youneededto comfort.”
“没关系,我还是会写这封信,你照样凭它去拿钱。哪怕不搞葬礼好了,布伦南死于非命,人心惶惶,无论是审判厅还是整个翡翠城官场,你都需要安抚。”Taiersiis false smile:
泰尔斯皮笑肉不笑:„Said, ifdiesagainmanyseveralpeople, the debt of emeraldcitycanbe solved?”
“这么说,要是再死多几个人,翡翠城的债务就能解决了?”ZhanEnqingsnort/humshakes the head:.
詹恩轻哼摇头:。„Ibelieve that youknowwaswhokilledBrennen, waswhoadding fuel to the flames, is treating as the puppetto play a trickyouanxiously.”
“我相信你知道是谁杀了布伦南,又是谁急着推波助澜,把你当作傀儡耍弄。”„Brennenis the suicide.”
“布伦南是自杀的。”TaiersiwordsmakeZhanEnpen tiptremble.
泰尔斯的话让詹恩笔尖一颤。„Inhisstudy room, drank the poisoned liquor.”
“在他的书房里,喝了毒酒。”„Wasn't hekilled? Was being compelled the suicide?” The south bankdukeknits the browsto suspect.
“他不是被杀的?或者被逼着自杀?”南岸公爵皱眉怀疑。„Healsoleft the will,”Taiersihas not paid attention toopposite party'squestion, „is full of the lamentation and pain, the experiencing sufferingconsciencecondemned, the self-supportingpast yearssettled a lawsuit the posthumous writings that contained errors.”
“他还留下了遗书,”泰尔斯没有理会对方的质疑,“一封充满悔恨与痛苦,受尽良心谴责,自承当年断案有误的遗书。”
The princeraised the headat this point, the visionlike the blade, presses up to the duke:
王子说到这里抬起头,目光如刀,直逼公爵:„Including the record and evidence that the seniordukeassassination.”
“包括老公爵遇刺的案卷和证据。”ZhanEncomplexionis usual, takes up the pen, writteninscription.
詹恩面色如常,重新动笔,书写落款。ButTaiersihas been staring athim, visionbrilliant.
但泰尔斯一直盯着他,目光灼灼。„ZhanEn, tellsmenow, whatin the pastexactlyhad,”heopens the mouthin a soft voice, actuallyresembles the strengthto be extremely heavy, „has totraceinme, before the truthdoes come to light ?”
“詹恩,现在就告诉我,当年到底发生了什么,”他轻声开口,却似力道万钧,“在我不得不追查下去,真相水落石出之前?”ZhanEnsilenta while.
詹恩沉默了一会儿。„Youalsoinwhat?”
“那你还在等什么?”Hisattitudecold, does not compromise:
他的态度冷了下来,毫不妥协:„Gets to the root of a matter, completes the arbitration, catchesmeto be put in prison- trueprison, Iheard that the jail of white bonesis quite grand......”
“穷根究底,完成仲裁,捕我入狱吧-真正的监狱,我听说白骨之牢内部颇为宏伟……”Taiersismiled.
泰尔斯笑了。„Arrivedthissituation, youbit to deathdoes not relent, it seems like that this was the key of issue.”
“都到这个地步了,你还是咬死不松口,看来这就是问题的关键了。”„Howeveryoubite to deathinthisissue, untilbiting throughbitesit, digs outso-calledtruth that youwant, then?”ZhanEnmeng before deskraised the head, „letsme and emeraldcitydestroystogether? Quitemakesyoucomeon the ruinsagain, achievementemperorcause?”
“而你咬死在这一个问题上,直到咬穿咬碎它,挖出你想要的所谓真相,然后呢?”书桌前的詹恩猛地抬头,“让我和翡翠城一起毁灭?好让你在废墟上重来,成就帝王伟业?”These words saying,two peoplewere peacefulsome little time.
这句话说完,两人都安静了好一会儿。Taiersiis looking at the wine glass, worried.
泰尔斯望着酒杯,心事重重。ZhanEnlooks at the pen tip, the visionsolidification.
詹恩看着笔尖,目光凝固。„Youcanretain the emeraldregiment.”
“你可以保留翡翠军团。”ZhanEnrecovers, doubts:
詹恩回过神来,不由疑惑:„What?”
“什么?”Taiersideeplyinspires, puts down the wine glasslayer on layer/heavily.
泰尔斯深吸一口气,重重地放下酒杯。„Isaid,youdo not needto hand overmilitary authorityto the royal family- naturally, onyoumustgive uprecruiting the right of soldier performing obligatory serviceoutwardly, but the recruitingsystem of south bankalsosurvives in name onlyin any case, youlose not in a big way.”
“我说,你不必向王室交出军权-当然,明面上你还是要放弃征召义务兵的权利,不过反正南岸的征召制度也名存实亡,你损失不大。”ZhanEncudraws out the brow, is probing the say/way:
詹恩蹙起眉头,试探着道:„Uh-huh?”
“嗯哼?”„Bureaucratandpersonnel appointment and dismissal, the starcitywill not meddleforever, will not at least go too far, naturally, thisoutdoor shop, theymeddlealsoadd to the chaos.”
“官僚和人事任免,永星城不会插手,至少不会太过分,当然,就这副摊子,他们插手也是添乱。”„This?”
“就这样?”„Otherconditionsas usual- IcanletFedericotoyourdistant point, no longerstays in the south bankto leadforyouto look for trouble.”
“其他条件照旧-我可以让费德里科离你远点,不再留在南岸领给你找麻烦。”Taiersisaid the conditioncalmly, lookstoZhanEn.
泰尔斯平静地说完条件,看向詹恩。
The dukesilentwas very long, the foreheadtremblesto continue.
公爵沉默了很久,眉心微颤不止。Finally, heexhales the one breath, sinceresay/way:
终于,他呼出一口气,正色道:„Feder, hewill not be resignedto give up.”
“费德,他不会甘心放弃的。”Taiersieyebrowselects.
泰尔斯眉毛一挑。„Hemustfirstpass my pass/test.”
“那他得先过我这关。”ZhanEnqingsnort/hum, hesitationmoment:
詹恩轻哼一声,沉吟片刻:„Tax revenue?”
“税收呢?”InTaiersiheartsighed.
泰尔斯心中一叹。Damn.
该死。
Can henot be sensitiveto the digitalaccount?
他能不能不对数字账目那么敏感?„Qiucan/butunderbigmanpowergovernment officials are very specialized,”Taiersibraces oneself saying that „Ibelievetheycanwithyourmanpowertogether, discussonesetgives dual attentionfairlywith the efficiency, servesin every way the benefit......”
“裘可・曼大人手底下的官吏都很专业,”泰尔斯硬着头皮道,“我相信他们会和你们的人手一起,商量出一套兼顾公平与效率,符合多方利益的……”Really, has not waited forhim saying that ZhanEnsneersto make noise.
果然,未等他说完,詹恩就冷笑出声。„Youknow that thisis notIwants.”
“你知道这不是我想要的。”„Butyouknow that thisishewants,”Taiersi emphasized that „deal?”
“但你知道这是他想要的,”泰尔斯强调道,“成交?”ZhanEnis staring athimstubbornly.
詹恩死死地盯着他。„And several other dayscomes backagain,” the words that hesaidmadeTaiersibe greatly disappointed, „perhapsat that time, the changebecause ofemeraldcity, youwill give a betterproposition?”
“等多几天再回来吧,”他说出的话让泰尔斯大失所望,“也许那时候,因为翡翠城的变化,你会给出更好的提议?”Taiersiexpressiononecold.
泰尔斯表情一冷。„ZhanEn,”princebackwardonesupine, „mypatiencelimited.”
“詹恩,”王子向后一仰,“我的耐性是有限度的。”„Was skillful, the emeraldcity is also.”
“巧了,翡翠城也是。”Breakdown of negotiation.
谈判破裂。Taiersiis looking atlookfirmZhanEn, in the heart the deep sighone breath.
泰尔斯望着眼神坚定的詹恩,心中长叹一口气。In the room is peaceful, for a whileonlyhears the rustling sound that ZhanEnwrites a letter.
房里再度安静下来,一时只听见詹恩写信的沙沙声。„Brennenshould notdielike this.” After long-timesilence, Taiersiopens the mouthsuddenly.
“布伦南不该这样死去。”长久的沉默后,泰尔斯突然开口。ZhanEn:
詹恩一顿:„Trulyshould not.”
“确实不该。”„Heis a good person, goodhusband, goodfather.”Taiersiremembers the posthumous writings of opposite party, is slightly lost.
“他是个好人,好丈夫,好父亲。”泰尔斯想起对方的遗书,略略出神。„Alsois a goodjudge.”ZhanEnadded.
“也是个好审判官。”詹恩补充道。„Hedamnin the meaninglesspolitical turmoil, the governmentengages in factional strife.”Taiersishakes the head the feeling.
“他不该死于毫无意义的政治风波,官场倾轧。”泰尔斯摇头感慨。„Otherwise, the politicsis the significance,”ZhanEntoudoes not lift, „engages in factional strifealsowell, the unity, is the process.”
“不然,政治本身就是意义,”詹恩头也不抬,“倾轧也好,团结也罢,都不过是过程而已。”Taiersishakes the head, thinks otherwise.
泰尔斯摇头,不以为然。„Thisisyoutoknead togetherimportant goodsvariousbosomthoughts and incompatiblepeoplein the same place, tomove towardsamedestination, the price of mustpaying,”ZhanEncontinues saying that „helpless, brutal, weak, senseless.”
“这是你为了把一大帮各怀心思、互不相容的人捏合在一起,以走向同一目的地,所必须付出的代价,”詹恩继续道,“无奈,无情,无力,无谓。”ZhanEncarriesto burn the friendlysealing wax, looksto the prince:
詹恩端起烧融的火漆,看向王子:„Butactuallywill, andreality.”
“但却必要,且现实。”
The word, the dukedanglinghead, loads into the envelope the letter/believes.
言罢,公爵垂下头,把信装进信封。Taiersideeplyfrowns.
泰尔斯深深蹙眉。Necessity, andreality?
必要,且现实?Oppressionandsense of urgency that inthatFuxing Gongcanfeel, appearsonhim.
不知不觉间,那种复兴宫里才能感觉到的压迫和紧迫感,又出现在他身上。„Iwantto yieldtoHilay.”
“我想让位给希莱。”„That- what do youthink?”
“那就更-你想什么?”ZhanEnis handling the envelope, heard that the wordcomplexionchanges, raised the headswiftly!
詹恩打理着信封,闻言面色一变,倏然抬头!Taiersideeplyinspires, feltoneselfjustbroke any thing in thisroom.
泰尔斯深吸一口气,感觉自己刚刚打破了这间房里的什么东西。„I said that mustgovern the city, as well asto investigate the arbitration, Ireallycloneweak,”princeausterefacesincere, opens the mouthlike the diplomat, „makesMissCecilia the ginseng/partakeknow the politicsbyhaving made up mind, perhapsgoes a step further, takes overcitylords- after all the emeraldcitygenerationis surnamedKevinTil, inemotioninreason, Ishould notoverstep authority and get involved in another's affairs.”
“我说,既要治理城市,又要查案仲裁,我实在分身乏术,”王子肃颜正色,像个外交官一样开口,“是以决意让塞西莉亚小姐参知政事,也许更进一步,接任城主-毕竟翡翠城世代都姓凯文迪尔,于情于理,我都不该越俎代庖。”ZhanEnyuelistens to the expressionto be worse.
詹恩越听表情越差。„Thenyoutakemysecurityas the condition,”hecoldlysaid,„loses the difficult problem that the emeraldcitycan't continuetoher?”
“然后你以我的安全为条件,”他冷冷道,“把翡翠城无以为继的难题丢给她?”Taiersishrugs, shows neither approval nor disapproval.
泰尔斯耸了耸肩,不置可否。„Thenshewill look forme, compellingmeto yield,”ZhanEnsneersto continue, „evenis worse, shebraces oneselfon, hitsbadly beatenbyone's effort, even ifmustdance the sensuous dancealsoto refuse to balk.”
“然后她就会来找我,逼我让步,”詹恩冷笑继续,“甚至更糟一点,她硬着头皮上,以一己之力撞个头破血流,哪怕要跳艳舞也在所不惜。”„Perhaps.”TaiersiremembersHilay'sappearance, in the heartsinks.
“也许吧。”泰尔斯想起希莱的样子,心中一沉。Two peoplesilentgood.
两人沉默了好一阵。„Thiscertainlyishisidea, right.”
“这一定是他的主意,对吧。”ZhanEntoneice-cold, has not said the name, buttwo peopleare well aware„he”to refer toanyone.
詹恩语气冰冷,并没有说出名字,但两人都心知肚明“他”指的是谁。„Thisis only a proposal, Iam still considering,”Taiersiis looking at the opposite party, after emphasizingspeciallyhalf a word, „youknow,weighs the advantages and disadvantages.”
“这只是个提案,我还在考虑中,”泰尔斯望着对方,特意强调后半句,“你知道,权衡利弊。”ZhanEnlifts the look, the breathspeeds up.
詹恩抬起眼神,呼吸加快。„ImustseeHilay, now.”
“我要见希莱,现在。”Opposite party'sperformancemakesinTaiersiheartmove.
对方的表现让泰尔斯心中一动。„DukeSir, as far as I know, you are accepting the arbitrationinvestigation,” a heconscientioustone, „toevade the suspicion, does not see the guest.”
“公爵大人,据我所知,你正在接受仲裁调查,”他一副公事公办的口吻,“为避嫌疑,不见外客。”ZhanEnfrowns.
詹恩皱起眉头。„Really?”
“真的?”Hepartlyasked back;half th, threat.
他半是反问,半是威胁。„Yes. Moreover the emeraldcityis busy with the self-help, the stableorder,”Taiersicarries a shoulder-pole load the brow, „youunderstand.”
“是。而且翡翠城正忙于自救,稳定秩序,”泰尔斯挑挑眉头,“你懂的。”ZhanEnmunoneflashesto pass.
詹恩目里的精光一闪而逝。Hesneers.
他冷笑一声。„Ialsothink that youare the smart person, Taiersi.”
“我还以为你是聪明人,泰尔斯。”„, Howto say?”
“哦,怎么说?”ZhanEntakesto begin a stroke, silenta while , to continue to write.
詹恩重新拿起笔,沉默了一会儿,继续书写。„In childhood, Federdestroyedpreciouspredictionantiques, shifts blametoyoungHilay, thenhestands by, looked that Imuststandto shoulder the responsibilityforher......”
“小时候,费德打碎了一个珍贵的预言古物,嫁祸给年幼的希莱,然后他就袖手旁观,看我要不要站出来为她承担责任……”Taiersiexpressionchanges.
泰尔斯表情微变。„Ifmyself-supportingerror, thatis I am frivolous, damagingfamily property;IfIletHilayto subject to a penalty, thatis the eldest brotherguardianshipis disadvantageous;IfIargued that isFedericodoes, thatis the eldest brotheris weak, passing the buckyounger brother......”
“如果我自承过失,那就是我举止轻佻,毁损族产;如果我任希莱受罚,那就是长兄监护不利;如果我辩解说是费德里科做的,那就是长兄软弱,推责幼弟……”ZhanEnvisiononesevere:
詹恩目光一厉:„Whichstepregardless ofhoweverIwalk, the entirefamilywill be disappointedabouttheireldest sonsuccessors.”
“而无论我走哪一步,整个家族都会对他们的长子继承人失望。”Listens tothisedition the story, Taiersithinkslong time.
听完这个版本的故事,泰尔斯思索良久。„Youlike a board game piece, Taiersi, howhewantyouto walknow, howyouwalk.”
“你现在就像一枚棋子,泰尔斯,他要你怎么走,你就怎么走。”„Butyouhad not realized,”ZhanEnsatirized, „according toFederico'schess move, howyouto walk, lost.”
“但你没意识到,”詹恩讽刺道,“按照费德里科的棋路,你怎么走,都是输。”Taiersilistens, silentlynod.
泰尔斯听完,默默点头。„PerhapsyouandFederico, includeHilay, inyourKevinTil'sdictionary, does not have‚retreat’and‚concessions’,”hesighsonelightly, „oryouthought that thesewords can only appearin the dictionaries of others, right?”
“你和费德里科,也许还包括希莱,在你们凯文迪尔的字典里,想必都没有‘后退’和‘让步’,”他轻叹一声,“或者说,你们觉得这些词只能出现在其他人的字典里,对吧?”ZhanEnlengsnort/hum.
