13 - Royal Princess 公主

Lorphys9; royal castle had a sturdy make.

洛菲斯的王城坚固无比。

The town around it was organized for efficiency. If you want to put it another way, it gave off quite a simple impression.

它周围的城镇是为了提高效率而组织起来的。如果换个角度来说，它给人的印象很简单。

And within that simple castle, the audience hall alone was extravagant. It9;s just, it looked to be that a number of ornaments were forcibly adorned.

而在这座简陋的城堡内，光是觐见大厅就已经很奢华了。只是，看起来有些装饰品是被强行装饰的。

The red carpet spread out, and at the room9;s highest point sat the princess in a large chair. Beside her sat her engagement partner, the prince of Selva.

红地毯铺开，房间最高处的一张大椅子上坐着公主。她旁边坐着她的订婚对象，塞尔瓦王子。

Princess 【Annerinne Lorphys】 had her hair in a half up. But her long hair was her pride. It was tied at the end, and when she sat, she would drape it over her shoulder.

【Annerinne Lorphys】公主将头发盘成一半。但她的长发却是她的骄傲。它的末端系着，当她坐下时，她会把它披在肩上。

Her violet hair began to turn pale around a third from the tip.

她紫罗兰色的头发从发尖开始三分之一处开始变白。

A white dress, and perhaps for the sole purpose of resting her hair on, a red mantle was hung around her shoulders.

一件白色连衣裙，也许只是为了让头发休息，肩上挂着一件红色斗篷。

Her skin was pale, and had a kind-looking expression. Her slightly-drooping eyes contained green pupils.

她皮肤苍白，表情慈祥。她微微下垂的眼睛里有绿色的瞳孔。

But her face looked a little troubled.

但她的脸色看起来有点困扰。

She took some fleeting glances at the reactions of her fiancé beside her… 【Dario Selva】. Perhaps her smiling fiancé wasn9;t quite amused, as his smile was stiff.

她瞥了一眼身边未婚夫的反应……【达里奥·塞尔瓦】。也许她微笑的未婚夫不太好笑，因为他的笑容很僵硬。

“不，仅凭情感就足够了。虽然扎因给洛菲斯带来了很多麻烦，但我们非常清楚我们将承受多少损失。”

『品味有点差。即使从我的角度来看，这也是很糟糕的。』

第四位说话了。

（Lonbolt先生看起来有他的烦恼。）

The Third spoke.

这是第七次。

虽然他头上没有头发，但他的眼睛很锐利。他的身材瘦得让人看着他都感到担心。那是朗博尔特先生。

前大祭司加斯通先生否认了这一点。两个人的头看起来都那么孤独，所以也许已经建立了某种同情心。隆博尔特先生的语气很友善。

Around were nobles and knights, enough to make the audience hall feel narrow.

Lonbolt-san addressed Gastone-san.

『……比我的豪宅还破旧。』

亚乌拉小姐保持沉默。她和塞尔玛小姐都穿着莫妮卡准备的衣服，周围男人的目光都集中在她们身上。

“No, we will move of our own accord. Let9;s see. After reclamation, there will surely be times we9;ll seek out your assistance.”

老六似乎在看着达里奥。

『Well, even when compared to what the Fourth had at his time, they have less land. There9;s no helping it.』

白色的头发，舒适的白色衣服，让他晒黑的皮肤显得格外突出。他的红眼睛正看着我们。

“But I9;m sure moving individually will prove difficult. What say you to taking up a stay in Lorphys? I think there9;s a share of things we can do for your cause.”

Thelma-san spoke.

周围都是贵族和骑士，足以让大殿感觉狭窄。

0;Lonbolt-san looks like he has his troubles.1;

Confirming the faces around, the Fifth.

“Well then, your request is to be left independent. Is that correct?”

Former High Priest Gastone-san denied it. The heads of both men looked oh-so lonely, so perhaps a sort of sympathy had been built. Lonbolt-san9;s tone of voice was a kind one.

The Sixth seemed to be looking at Dario.

『… Could it be that prince called Dario9;s preferences? Around his arms and neck, he does have an excessive amount of ornaments. Even when he doesn9;t seem to be an upstart or anything.』

『好吧，即使与第四代当时的土地相比，他们的土地也更少。没办法。』

塞尔瓦是一个有着悠久历史的国家。他们不是什么新贵，但我也不能说他们有特别好的品味。

『It9;s kinda in bad taste. Even from my point of view, it9;s in bad taste.』

“I see; so you9;re aiming to retake. And for that sake, you seek our assistance.”

While he didn9;t have hair on his head, his eyes were sharp. His body was slim enough to make people watching him feel worried. That was Lonbolt-san.

『They9;re too small in scale, and they can9;t gather troops… if they don9;t have the numbers, they have to raise the quality. I see, they do seem to be putting some effort into it, but… why does only this room feel so strange? The others are nice and simple.』

“但我确信单独行动会很困难。您对在洛菲斯停留有何看法？我认为我们可以为你们的事业做一些事情。”

『规模太小，无法集兵……没有数量，就得提高质量。我看，他们确实是下了点功夫，但是……为什么只有这个房间感觉这么奇怪？其他的都很好很简单。』

0;Is that their national character? In that case, it9;s been arranged to match Selva.1;

Selva was a country with a considerable amount of history. They weren9;t new upstarts, but I couldn9;t say they had particularly good taste either.

（这是他们的国民性格吗？这样的话，就被安排为与塞尔瓦相匹配。）

『… It9;s shabbier than my mansion.』

隆博尔特先生对加斯通先生说道。

From the Jewel, I heard a rude voice.

“No. Not our own independence, we wish to retake our country. The reason we have opened this meeting in Lorphys is only to proclaim we will not be launching any attacks on your side.”

And royal princess Annerinne opened her mouth.

After observing that action, I looked around. I didn9;t let slide that Alette-san and the other knights were making some unpleasant faces.

“不。我们希望夺回我们的国家，而不是我们自己的独立。我们之所以在洛菲斯召开这次会议，只是为了宣布我们不会对你们发动任何攻击。”

从宝石中，我听到了粗鲁的声音。

达里奥轻声对安妮公主低声说了些什么。

公主身边……走下几步，坐在离这对夫妇最近的位置上，首相【朗博尔特】清了清嗓子，继续说道。

His white hair, and comfortable white clothing made his tan skin look overly prominent. His red eyes were looking at us.

“那么，你的要求就是保持独立。那是对的吗？”

观察到这个动作后，我环顾四周。我没有漏掉艾莉特小姐和其他骑士们做出的令人不快的表情。

The Fourth spoke.

『……莫非是那位王子说出了达里奥的喜好？他的手臂和脖子上确实有过多的装饰品。即使他看起来不像暴发户什么的。』

The one to speak out there was Thelma-san.

“我明白了；所以你的目标是重考。为此，你寻求我们的帮助。”

第三个人说话了。

塞尔玛小姐发话了。

“不，我们会自行搬迁。让我们来看看。开垦之后，我们肯定会有时候寻求你的帮助。”

确认周围的面孔，第五。

皇家公主安妮琳张开了嘴。

“No, the sentiment alone is enough. While Zayin is bringing so much trouble to Lorphys, we know full well how much we9;ll be afforded.”

It was the Seventh.

在那里发言的是塞尔玛小姐。

Beside the royal princess… a few steps down, sitting in the closest position to the couple, Prime Minister 【Lonbolt】 cleared his throat, and proceeded the conversation.

Aura-san stayed quiet. Both she and Thelma-san were wearing the dresses Monica had prepared, and the eyes of the surrounding men gathered on them.

Dario whispered something quietly to princess Annerinne.

What we wished for here was an agreement not to lay hands on one another. And my personal goal was to see the princess.

我们在此希望达成一项互不接触的协议。我个人的目标是见到公主。

Beside me, Novem was expressionlessly looking at the princess. Now wasn9;t the time to smile, but she was making quite a serious face… rather than that, it felt as if she were ascertaining something.

在我旁边，Novem面无表情地看着公主。现在还不是微笑的时候，但她的表情却相当严肃……相反，她感觉像是在确定什么。

On my other side stood Miranda.

我的另一边站着米兰达。

Miranda was sending her eyes at Dario.

米兰达看着达里奥。

Princess Annerinne was…

Annerinne 公主是……

“If you come under our side, I9;m sure negotiations will become possible. We9;ve finished preparations to hand over our mithril. Won9;t you lend us your strength in evading this war?”

“如果您加入我们的阵营，我相信谈判将成为可能。我们已经完成了交出秘银的准备工作。你愿意借给我们力量来逃避这场战争吗？”

In regards to that persuasion, Thelma-san.

关于这个说服，塞尔玛桑。

“I appreciate the proposal. But this war has already passed the point of evasion. Armies of both sides are already gathering on the border. It seems small fights have already broken out. And Zayin won9;t back down until the result they seek is before their eyes.”

“我很欣赏这个提议。但这场战争已经过了逃避的地步。双方军队已经在边境集结。看来小规模的争斗已经爆发了。在他们寻求的结果出现在他们眼前之前，扎因不会让步。”

Zayin didn9;t want mithril from the start. What they wanted was a pretext to attack. It9;s only that mithril had come out at around the right time.

扎因从一开始就不想要秘银。他们想要的只是一个进攻的借口。只是秘银出现的时间正好。

When Thelma-san was about to persuade Princess Annerinne back, her fiancé Dario made a move. He stood, and clapped his hands.

当塞尔玛小姐正要劝回安妮琳公主时，她的未婚夫达里奥出手了。他站起来，拍着手。

0;She9;ll immediately change her stance on her fiancé9;s input, so we can9;t really trust her.1;

Right, perhaps she had fallen for Selva9;s prince, but she was at his every whim.

I mean, the current Lorphys was close to moving by every word of fiancé Dario. It was moving to Selva9;s will even more blatantly.

塞尔瓦在后台移动，他们正在稳步进行准备工作。

将信息贩子劳野先生收集到的信息和他得出的结论放在一起……听到他的假设，有几个地方我可以点头。

0;If we went and joined this side, we9;ll either be confined to the reserves, of assassinated… what a pain.1;

亚乌拉小姐张开了嘴。她似乎已经受够了这里的气氛。

他说要支持我们，但他认为我们是敌人的牵制手段。如果他想保护自己的祖国，这是正确的决定。

我们的提案。

“现在，削弱敌军至关重要。在扎因看来，他们不可能忽视这些前圣女的立场。更重要的是，我认为如果我们为他们提供一些支持就好了。货物，还有士兵和资金。他们拥有的越多，对我们来说就越好。”

The Sixth put my thoughts to words.

要对抗他们，需要国家力量，也需要与其他国家合作。劳诺先生猜测帮助他们的不是洛菲斯，而是扎因。

One of the lined up nobles raised their voice.

“即使在战争开始之前，你就已经想到了战斗……无论如何，政府的职责就是寻找避免战争的方法。”

当所有人的目光都聚集到他身上后，他才开口。

Aura-san opened her mouth. She seemed to have had enough of the atmosphere here.

是的，也许她爱上了塞尔瓦的王子，但她却听从了他的每一个心血来潮。

To oppose them, national power was a necessity, and they also needed cooperation with other countries. Rauno-san hypothesized that it wasn9;t Lorphys, but Zayin that was aiding them.

Putting together the information gathered by information dealer Rauno-san, and the conclusion he reached… hearing his hypothesis, there were a few places I could nod to.

（Selva 很着急。）

It was a sound opinion, but I knew.

Selva was moving in the backstage, and they were steadily making preparations.

（如果我们加入这一方的话，要么被限制在预备队，要么被暗杀……好痛苦。）

排队的贵族之一提高了声音。

Our proposal.

The other nobles as well.

我的意思是，现在的洛菲斯几乎被未婚夫达里奥的每一句话所感动。更加明目张胆地向塞尔瓦的意志转移。

“……我们说我们将自行解决问题。我们的建议正如您所听到的那样。这对你来说不是最有利的吗？”

0;Selva is in a hurry.1;

其他贵族也是如此。

（好吧，我真的不能说他们的真正目标在哪里，但无论是削弱还是抢夺，毫无疑问，一个美味的结果正在等待着 Zayin 和 Selva。）

It was a pain, so I didn9;t really want to do it, but if we weren9;t going to stick onto Lorphys9; side, there was no choice but to choose a route like that.

第三个也是。

『她的外貌很好；刚好适合装饰。好吧，问题是她对爱情如何盲目？』

“Right now, chipping away at the enemy forces is vital. From Zayin9;s perspective, there9;s no way they could overlook the stand of these former Holy Maidens. More so, I think it fine if we offer them a bit of backing ourselves. Goods, as well as soldiers and funds. The more they have, the better for us.”

并且这一次，洛菲斯的立场是猎物。

“殿下。如果他们在边远地区站稳脚跟，扎印也只能派出部分兵力去那里。这意味着这将减少他们在前线的部署。接受这个谈话不是更好吗？”

He said to support us, but he was seeing us as a diversion for the enemy. The right decision if he wanted to protect his homeland.

The reason for their hurry was that they neighbored the two maidens of the great war… the country shared a border with both of those women of war.

这是在扎因领土上曾经属于洛菲斯的部分地区发起的行动。到目前为止，我们已经占领了一座正在衰落的堡垒，我们将从那里引导自己成为一个独立的力量。

『……天真。这还不是战争开始之前。已经开始很久了。如果这个女孩在和平时期不张嘴的话，也许她会成为一个优秀的女王。』

她们如此匆忙的原因是她们毗邻伟大战争的两位少女……这个国家与这两位战争少女有共同的边界。

0;Well, I can9;t really say where their real objective lies, but whether it be whittling down, or snatching, there9;s no doubt that a tasty outcome awaits for Zayin and Selva.1;

『… Naïve. It isn9;t before war has begun. It9;s long since started. Perhaps this girl would9;ve become a fine queen if she didn9;t put out her mouth in times of peace.』

“不，这确实很棒。为祖国挺身而出的圣女……不，是前圣女吧？我确实觉得它很漂亮。但我希望你们不要只看自己，而是看看洛菲斯现在的状况。无意刻薄，但你们才是造成当前冲突的人。你出手相助不是理所应当的吗？”

After all eyes gathered on him, he opened his mouth.

这是一个很好的意见，但我知道。

The Third too.

虽然很痛苦，所以不太想这么做，但如果不坚持洛菲斯这边，就只能选择这样的路线了。

“Your highness. If they make a stand in the remote regions, Zayin will have no choice but to direct some of their troops there. Meaning it will cut down their deployment on the front lines. Wouldn9;t it be best to accept this talk?”

在那里，安妮公主。

There, Princess Annerinne.

“… We are saying we will resolve the problem on our own. And our proposal is just as you9;ve heard. Wouldn9;t that be most beneficial to your side?”

The horrible part of it was how she took Dario9;s words over her own vassals. Various internal problems had broken out, and Lorphys9; domestic affairs were a mess.

0;She9;s got a point there. But the mistake she9;s making is…1;

It was a rise to action in the parts of Zayin9;s territory that had once belonged to Lorphys. So far, we had captured a declining fortress, and we were going to direct ourselves as an independent power from there.

『Her appearance is nice; just right for a decoration. Well, the problem is how she9;s blind to love, perhaps?』

最可怕的是她如何将达里奥的话置于自己的封臣之上。各种内部问题爆发，洛菲斯的国内事务一团糟。

And this time, Lorphys9; position was that of the prey.

“Even before war has begun, you already think of fighting… it is the government9;s role to search for ways to avert it no matter what.”

“No, this is truly wonderful. A Holy Maiden making a stand for her homeland… no, former Holy Maiden, was it? I do find it beautiful. But instead of looking only at yourselves, I wish for you to look at Lorphys9; current state of affairs. Not to be mean, but you are the ones who have caused its current strife. Isn9;t it only reasonable that you lend your assistance?”

（她说得有道理。但她犯的错误是……）

老六把我的想法变成了文字。

（她会立即改变对未婚夫的意见的立场，所以我们不能真正相信她。）

The reason the ancestors proclaimed Princess Annerinne as terrible, was because we had found such information. Her words held no credibility. That9;s why we couldn9;t trust them.

祖先宣称安妮公主很糟糕的原因是我们发现了这样的信息。她的话毫无可信度。这就是为什么我们不能相信他们。

There were too many insecure factors to be had with her as our ally. So we took some distance.

她作为我们的盟友，有太多不安全的因素。于是我们就拉开了一段距离。

Alette-san offered her opinion to princess Annerinne.

阿莱特小姐向安妮公主提出了自己的意见。

“Your highness, it wouldn9;t be strange if Zayin moved at any moment now. Averting it is already impossible. I beg of you, for the sake of both causes, use this meeting to…

“殿下，扎因现在动一下也不会奇怪。想要避免已经是不可能的事情了。我恳求你们，为了这两个原因，利用这次会议......

And once again, an opinion was cut off.

再次，意见被切断。

Dario pointed at me.

达里奥指着我。

“You were permitted to stand in this hall because you were to be the next vice-captain of the knights, but it seems you were not of such caliber. Negotiations are to be had until we can attain the greatest possible outcome for the people. And do you have knotholes for eyes? A mere adventurer… what9;s more, a nameless adventurer, and part-time knight captain? Do you seriously believe one who has never commanded soldiers can bring down a fortress? Then let us say it as we stand… you are incompetent.”

“你被允许站在这个大厅里，因为你将成为下一任骑士团副团长，但你似乎没有这个资格。必须进行谈判，直到我们能够为人民取得最大可能的结果。你的眼睛有节孔吗？区区一个冒险者……何况还是一个无名的冒险者，兼任骑士队长？你真的相信一个从未指挥过士兵的人能够摧毁一座堡垒吗？那我们就说吧……你无能。”

Hearing those words, the Third shook with laughter.

听到这句话，老三笑得浑身发抖。

『T-truly. Lyle… hasn9;t experienced a real war yet. That one isn9;t a mistake.』

『真的、真的。莱尔……还没有经历过真正的战争。这不是一个错误。』

I was of the same opinion.

当我鞠躬时，我感受到了我的技能的反应。

内部。

“……我们才是应该道歉的人。请继续。”

“… Even in Beim, Lyle-dono is an excellent adventurer. I shall guarantee it. I believe he has outstanding future prospects.”

Dario snorted.

不是对达里奥，我一边看着安妮公主一边说话。

Within the hall, the surrounding nobles and knights began to realize where they stood with Dario. We were being completely left behind.

Well it really wouldn9;t resolve anything.

“Beg pardon. Is it alright if I have a say?”

“Well then, about the fortress… If we get out hands on Fort Noinyl, will all problems between us be resolved?”

老五发出声音。

“I deeply apologize, Dario-sama. But Alette made that statement with the country9;s well-being on her mind. Please permit it.”

“那么，只要我们手里能拿到要塞，问题就不再存在了吗？”

“Just try it. Lose and come back if you will, but please make sure you don9;t get that Holy Maiden of yours stolen while you9;re at it!”

And I saw the knights and nobles in the audience hall holding back their anger. Even so, Dario continued to speak.

『嗯，她还年轻。和莱尔差不多吗？爱犯了她的判断。请注意，目前这是一个致命的缺陷。』

0;Already treating her as the Holy Maiden. What9;s more, acting as if they9;re of higher position? It9;s not like we9;re relying on them… but it9;s convenient to say the least.1;

在达里奥身边，安琳妮公主说道。

“……即使在贝姆，莱尔阁下也是一位出色的冒险家。我保证。我相信他未来的前景十分光明。”

“How far off the mark can you be? This is why Lorphys9; knight brigade is no good. Knights pretending to be adventurers, and laboring themselves over…”

“据我所知，你们召集的冒险者不超过一百人。你能到达你的那个堡垒吗？”

阿莱特桑跟着我。

“Well then, as long as we9;re able to get a fortress in our hands, would the problem cease to be?”

Perhaps irritated at being ignored, Dario stuck his mouth in from the side.

我忍住苦笑，并请求允许我发表下一句话。

“你会拿下一个吗？一个对战争一无所知的人肯定知道如何张嘴。”

Not to Dario, I spoke whilst looking at Princess Annerinne.

I held back on giving a bitter smile, and sought permission for my next statement.

达里奥哼了一声。

Dario was in his mid-twenties. But as far as I9;d researched, there were no records of him stepping onto a battlefield. I looked at Princess Annerinne, and tried again.

The Fourth.

当一切安静下来后，隆博尔特先生看着我，并允许了。

“Yes. If you can accomplish it, we will feel more secure with leaving the Holy Maiden in your hands.”

Internally.

达里奥二十多岁。但据我查证，并没有他踏上战场的记录。我看着安妮公主，然后再次尝试。

『Well, she9;s young. Around the same as Lyle? Love errs her judgement. It9;s a fatal flaw at this point in time, mind you.』

“You9;ll take one down? One ignorant of war sure knowns how to flap his mouth.”

“那么，关于要塞的事情……如果我们把手里的诺尼尔要塞出手，我们之间的问题就全部解决了吗？”

“你离目标有多远？这就是洛菲斯的骑士团不好的原因。假装成冒险家的骑士们，努力地工作着……”

When it quieted down, Lonbolt-san looked at me, and permitted it.

And the princess as well.

To Dario9;s side, Princess Annerinne spoke.

「达里奥大人，深表歉意。但阿莱特发表这一声明时，考虑的是国家的福祉。请允许。”

『因为我们不在场的话对他来说更方便。更重要的是，如果我们被压碎并完全消失，也许对他来说是最好的。』

“From what I9;ve heard, you9;ve gathered no more than a hundred adventurers. Will you even reach that fortress of yours?”

我也有同样的看法。

Alette-san followed through tor me.

还有公主。

“… We are the ones who should be apologizing. Please go ahead.”

也许是因为被忽视而生气，达里奥从旁边伸了进去。

But still irritated, thinking we couldn9;t do it, Dario spoke.

好吧，这确实解决不了任何问题。

大厅内，周围的贵族和骑士开始意识到自己与达里奥的立场。我们完全被抛在了后面。

（已经把她当成圣女了。而且还摆出一副高人一等的样子？虽然不像是依赖她们……不过说起来也方便。）

“试试吧。输了就回来吧，但请确保你的圣女在你这样做的时候不要被偷走！”

“请原谅。我有发言权可以吗？”

“是的。如果你能做到的话，我们把圣女交在你手里就更有把握了。”

When I bowed, I felt a reaction from my Skills.

第四个。

但达里奥仍然很生气，认为我们做不到。

而我看到大殿里的骑士贵族们都强忍着怒火。尽管如此，达里奥还是继续说话。

The Fifth let out his voice.

『It9;s because it9;s more convenient for him if we9;re out of the picture. More so, maybe it9;s best for him if we were crushed and disappeared altogether.』

There was a presence hurriedly approaching the audience chamber.

有一个人急匆匆地接近谒见室。

The Third called over to me. I felt some mischief in his voice.

第三个叫我。我感觉他的声音里有些恶作剧。

『Lyle, how about you…』

『莱尔，你呢……』

Hearing him, I mused over how embarrassing it9;d be if I failed, as I made a grand gesture.

听到他的话，我一边想着如果失败了该有多尴尬，一边做了一个大动作。

“Very well. Then I, Lyle Walt, shall take control of a fortress. What, it9;s a simple matter. Let9;s see… yes, and that9;s the end of it.”

“很好。然后我，莱尔沃尔特，将控制一座堡垒。什么，这是一件简单的事情。让我们看看……是的，就这样结束了。”

When I snapped my fingers, some ridiculing eyes fell on me. Princess Annerinne was taken aback. Looking at me, Dario.

当我打响指时，一些嘲笑的目光落在了我身上。安琳公主吃了一惊。看着我，达里奥。

“Have you lost it?”

“你丢了吗？”

Said that, with an indecent smile on his face. Novem beside me opened her mouth.

说着，脸上带着不雅的笑容。我旁边的诺文张开了嘴。

“Lyle-sama, you9;re joking too much.”

“莱尔大人，你开得太大了。”

And Miranda as well.

还有米兰达。

But it really would be getting busy.

I was overcome with relief.

『Lyle9;s fault? Ahahaha! No, no… this is your problem with Zayin, and you just happened to make it a tad easier to take a stand, so he did it. And he gave you prior notice, so doesn9;t that make him the upright one? How cruel. Even with prior notice.』

The Third seemed to be having fun, knowing it would come to this. He really was a schemer.

但确实会变得很忙。

“很高兴解决了我们的问题。我们将前往要塞。别担心，我们会为你引开敌人。事实证明，这至少对洛菲斯有利。啊，我们不需要任何援军。我确信你的处境很艰难。我们为你创造的这个机会……请好好利用它。”

当我离开大厅时，我看到艾莱特小姐把拇指伸出到了达里奥看不到的位置。

『莱尔的错？啊哈哈哈！不，不……这是你和扎因的问题，你只是碰巧让表明立场变得更容易一点，所以他就这么做了。而且他提前通知了你，这不就是一个正直的人吗？多么残酷啊。即使事先通知。』

大厅的门被猛地推开。

（事先通知，是吗？嗯，我确实在信息到达之前就告诉了他，但是脾气太恶劣了。）

他们都有点惊讶。但他们俩都没有瞧不起我。

“等、等等！你明白你刚刚做了什么吗！？至此，洛菲斯和扎因就失去了避免这场战争的所有机会！这都是你的责任！”

The surrounding reactions were quite interesting. Eyes opened wide, quite a few were looking between my face, and the messenger9;s.

When I gathered up all our members to leave the chamber, a voice called out to me from behind. It was Dario.

打开它的是一位看起来像是信使的骑士。或许他是因为气喘吁吁才冲到这里的。深呼吸一口气后，他开口说道。

Within the ensuing uproar, I spoke to the princess.

0;Thank god I was right… I was saved the embarrassment.1;

The one who opened it was a knight who looked to be a messenger. Perhaps he had rushed here, as he was out of breath. After taking a single deep breath, he spoke.

She was considerably delighted.

我转身给出了答案。

“哦，你把责任归咎于我吗？但多么令人不安……你看，我对洛菲斯没有权利或义务。我怀疑我是否需要承担责任。那么，接下来会比较忙，我先告辞了。”

0;Prior notice, is it? Well, I did tell him before the information got here, but how ill-natured.1;

当我召集所有成员离开会议厅时，一个声音从后面喊我。是达里奥。

从宝石中，我听到了第三者享受的声音。

在我的脑海里，我……

“W-wait! Do you understand what it is you9;ve just done!? With this, Lorphys and Zayin have lost all chances of avoiding this war! This is all your responsibility!”

周围的反应很有趣。眼睛睁得大大的，有不少眼睛在我的脸和使者的脸之间打量。

“M-message in! Fort Noinyl has been…”

“……诺尼尔堡已被一群自称圣骑士的组织占领了！”

“如果他一直这样就好了。”

“M-消息进来了！诺尼尔堡已经……”

Inside my head, I…

我如释重负。

我赶紧进行下一步。

“It would be better if he was always like that.”

And the hall9;s door burst open with some momentum.

“Now then, on to the next move.”

“Glad to have resolved our matter. We will be heading to the fortress. Don9;t worry, we9;ll draw the enemy away for you. It should prove at least mildly to Lorphys9; advantage. Ah, and we don9;t need any reinforcements. I9;m sure you have it rough as it is. This chance we9;ve created for you… please put it to good use.”

From the Jewel, I heard the voice of a Third enjoying himself.

I knew I had prepared enough forces to take it down. But I never thought the messenger would come in at that very moment.

第三个似乎很开心，知道事情会发展到这个地步。他确实是一个阴谋家。

“… Fort Noinyl has been taken by a group calling themselves the Holy Knights!”

“那么，进行下一步。”

I turned, and gave my response.

在随后的喧嚣中，我与公主交谈。

她非常高兴。

I hurriedly moved onto the next move.

（感谢上帝，我是对的……我免去了尴尬。）

我知道我已经准备了足够的力量来摧毁它。但我没想到，就在这个时候，使者就进来了。

They were both mildly amazed. But neither of them looked down on me.

“Oh, you9;re putting the blame on me? But how troubling… you see, I have no right or obligation to Lorphys. I question whether there9;s a need for me to take responsibility. Well then, it will be getting busy from here on, so I shall be taking my leave.”

As I left the hall, I saw Alette-san stick up her thumb in a position that Dario couldn9;t see.
