Chapter 6

Chapter 6 "It's getting a little crowded in here," Princess Pulverizer complained as she stared at her new companions. "And there's no way out, is there?" the knight said. SOB. SOB.

“这里有点挤了。”普莱丽公主盯着她的新伙伴抱怨道。 “没有出路了，是吗？”骑士说。 抽泣。抽泣。

Princess Pulverizer gave him a threatening stare. "Don't start that again," she warned him. The knight took a deep breath and choked back his cries. Then he bowed. "I am Lucas." "Don't you mean Sir Lucas?" Princess Pulverizer asked him. "Not exactly," Lucas told her. "I'm just a knight-in-training. Or I was, until I left Knight School." Princess Pulverizer couldn't believe her ears. This Lucas kid had left Knight School! "Why would anybody leave Knight School?" she asked him. "Knight School is the greatest place on earth." "I didn't leave it on purpose," Lucas told her. "I was kind of laughed out." Princess Pulverizer stared at him. "Why?" she asked him. Lucas turned bright red. "I just couldn't do anything right," he told her. "I left my armor out in the rain overnight. Now look at it."

普莱尔公主威胁地瞪了他一眼。 “别再这样了，”她警告他。 骑士深吸一口气，强忍住哭声。 然后他鞠了一躬。“我是卢卡斯。” “你是说卢卡斯爵士吗？”普莱丽公主问他。 “不完全是，”卢卡斯告诉她。 “我只是个训练中的骑士。 在我离开骑士学校之前，我曾经是。” 粉碎机公主不敢相信自己的耳朵。 这个叫卢卡斯的孩子离开了骑士学校！“为什么会有人离开骑士学校？”她问他。 “骑士学校是世界上最伟大的地方。” “我不是故意留下的，”卢卡斯告诉她。 “我被笑出来了。” 粉碎机公主盯着他。 “为什么？”她问他。卢卡斯的脸涨得通红。 “我什么都做不好，”他告诉她。 “我把我的盔甲放在雨里晾了一夜。 现在看看吧。”

The princess looked closely at Lucas's armor. It was covered with spots of rust. "That's not the worst of it," Lucas continued. "One time I was practicing fencing with my partner, and the visor on my helmet slammed shut. I couldn't see a thing. But I kept fencing." "That was very noble of you," Princess Pulverizer said. "It was very stupid of me," Lucas corrected her. "I kept waving my sword around and around—and I had no idea that I was actually fencing with a tree branch, until it fell on my head." Princess Pulverizer started to laugh. She stopped when she saw the expression on Lucas's face. "It's okay," Lucas told her. "Go ahead and laugh. Everybody else did." Princess Pulverizer smiled at him. "That really doesn't sound so bad," she said.

公主仔细地看了看卢卡斯的盔甲。 它布满了锈迹。 “这还不是最糟糕的，”卢卡斯接着说。 “有一次我和我的搭档练习击剑，我头盔上的遮阳板砰地关上了。 我什么也看不见。但我还是坚持击剑。” “你真是太高尚了。” “我真傻，”卢卡斯纠正她。 “我不停地挥舞着我的剑——我不知道我实际上是在用一根树枝做防御，直到它落在我的头上。” 粉碎机公主笑了起来。 看到卢卡斯脸上的表情，她停了下来。 “没关系，”卢卡斯告诉她。 “继续笑吧。其他人都这么做了。” 普莱泽公主朝他笑了笑。 “听起来真的没那么糟，”她说。

"Certainly not bad enough to make you leave Knight School." "Well, there's also one more thing," Lucas said. "But it's really embarrassing." Princess Pulverizer stared at him. It would have to be pretty bad to be more embarrassing than fencing with a tree branch. "You see, I'm a—" Lucas began. He stopped mid-sentence and leaped up onto a wooden stool. "MOUSE!" he shouted.

“当然不至于坏到让你离开骑士学校的地步。” “嗯，还有一件事，”卢卡斯说。 “但这真的很尴尬。” 粉碎机公主盯着他。 这肯定比用树枝做篱笆更尴尬。 “你看，我是个——”卢卡斯开口说。 他说到一半停了下来，跳上了一张木凳。 “老鼠！”

Princess Pulverizer looked down. Sure enough, a little gray mouse was scooting around on the floor. "You're afraid of a mouse?" she asked Lucas. He nodded. "I'm pretty much afraid of everything," Lucas admitted. "The other guys

粉碎机公主低下头。 果然，一只灰色的小老鼠在地板上窜来窜去。 “你怕老鼠？”她问卢卡斯。 他点了点头。“我几乎什么都害怕，”卢卡斯承认。 “其他人呢？

nicknamed me Lucas the Lily-Livered. That really hurt my feelings. So I left." "You left?" Princess Pulverizer asked him. "But where did you go? Where do you live now?" "I don't have a home," Lucas said. "I've just been wandering the woods. For a while I was alone. Then I met Dribble. It's been good to have a friend." "Dribble?" Princess Pulverizer asked. "What kind of a name is that for a dragon?" "Well, what's your name?" Dribble asked her. "Princess Pulverizer," she replied proudly. "What kind of a name is that for a princess?" Dribble asked her. "It's a great name for a princess," Princess Pulverizer insisted. "Especially for a princess who is going to go to Knight School." "Knight School?" Lucas asked her. "But you can't go to Knight School!"

给我起了个外号叫“百合肝”卢卡斯。 那真的伤了我的感情。 所以我离开了。”“你离开?”普莱丽公主问他。 “你上哪儿去了？”你现在住在哪里？”“我没有家，”卢卡斯说。 “我刚才在树林里游荡。 有一段时间我独自一人。然后我遇到了Dribble。 有个朋友真好。” “运球?”粉碎机公主问。 “这是什么龙的名字啊？”“那么，你叫什么名字？”运球问她。 “粉碎机公主。”她骄傲地回答。 “这是什么公主的名字啊？”运球问她。 “这是一个伟大的公主的名字，”粉碎公主坚持说。 “尤其是对一个即将去骑士学校的公主来说。” “骑士学校?”卢卡斯问她。 “但是你不能去骑士学校！”
