Chapter 12

Chapter 12 This better work. Princess Pulverizer's mind raced nervously as she watched King Harvey take a bite of his three-bean salad. If the king thought for one moment he was being poisoned, she and her friends were in big trouble. AAACHOOO! Dribble let out a massive sneeze. "Silence!" King Harvey shouted at him. "I can't help it," Dribble replied. "There are so many flowers here." AAACHOOO! Lucas patted his friend on the back and bit his lip nervously. Being brave didn't come naturally to Lucas. Princess Pulverizer looked around the banquet hall. No wonder Dribble was

第十二章这更好。 当她看着哈维国王咬了一口三豆沙拉时，普瓦瑞尔公主的心紧张地转了起来。 如果国王觉得自己被下毒了，她和她的朋友们就有大麻烦了。 AAACHOOO !小运球打了一个大大的喷嚏。 “安静!”哈维国王对他大喊大叫。 “我没办法。” “这里有这么多花。” AAACHOOO !卢卡斯拍了拍他朋友的背，紧张地咬着他的嘴唇。 卢卡斯天生就不勇敢。 粉碎机公主环顾了一下宴会厅。 难怪运球是

sneezing. There were an awful lot of flowers. Gladioli for faithfulness. Heather and foxgloves for protection. And giant sunflowers for health and vitality. The king had taken the princess's advice very seriously. This better work. "Your chamomile-flower tea, sir." The butler poured steaming yellow tea into the king's cup. "This better work," King Harvey told the princess. Exactly what I was thinking, she agreed silently.

打喷嚏。有很多花。 剑兰代表忠诚。 石南花和毛地黄作为保护。 还有巨大的向日葵，保持健康和活力。 国王非常认真地听取了公主的建议。 这最好能起作用。“您的甘菊花茶，先生。” 管家把冒着热气的黄茶倒进国王的杯子里。 “这更好，”国王哈维告诉公主。 我就是这么想的，她默默地同意了。

The king took a sip of the tea. Immediately his face turned beet red and his eyes began to bulge. Princess Pulverizer's heart started pounding. Had King Harvey really been poisoned? "Too hot!" King Harvey shouted. Phew. Is that all? "Tea is best served hot, your majesty," Professor Coggin-Noggin reminded him. "Perhaps you should blow on it." "Very wise, Professor." The king blew on the tea and took a big sip. "Do you feel ill, your majesty?" Professor Coggin-Noggin asked. The king touched his stomach. He wiggled around in his seat. And opened his mouth as if to burp. But not a single sound came out of him. "I feel quite well!" the king announced happily. "The flowers protected me from being poisoned."

国王喝了一口茶。 他的脸立刻变红了，眼睛也鼓了起来。 粉碎机公主的心开始狂跳。 哈维国王真的被下毒了吗？ “太热了!”哈维国王喊道。 唷。就这些吗？“茶最好趁热喝，陛下。”柯金-诺金教授提醒他。 “也许你应该对着它吹。” “很聪明，教授。”国王吹了吹茶，喝了一大口。 “陛下，您不舒服吗？”柯金-诺金教授问。 国王摸了摸自己的肚子。 他在座位上扭来扭去。 他张开嘴，好像要打嗝。 可是他一点声音也没有。 “我感觉很好！”国王高兴地宣布。 “这些花保护我免于中毒。”

More likely the chamomile tea had settled the gas in his stomach. But Princess Pulverizer was willing to let the king believe anything he wanted, as long as she could leave Leononia. She was a know-it-all no more. "Right," Princess Pulverizer told the king. "Now that you're safe, we'll be going. Nice to have met you." The princess hurried toward the door, with Lucas and Dribble following close behind. "Guards! Stop them!" King Harvey ordered. Two guards leaped in front of Princess Pulverizer and her friends. The princess gulped. What now? "We're not your enemies, your majesty," Princess Pulverizer insisted. "We helped you." "I know," King Harvey replied. "I wish to thank you properly." AAACHOOO! Dribble sneezed again. "I really gotta go," he said. "This will only take a moment," the king said. He opened a drawer and pulled out a

更有可能是洋甘菊茶消除了他胃里的气体。 但是普瓦瑞尔公主愿意让国王相信他想要的任何东西，只要她能离开利昂妮娅。 她不再是万事通了。 “好的，”普瓦瑞尔公主对国王说。 “现在你安全了，我们要走了。 很高兴认识你。”公主急忙向门口走去，卢卡斯和小运球紧跟在后面。 “卫兵!阻止他们!”哈维国王下令。 两个卫兵跳到粉碎机公主和她的朋友们面前。 公主咽了口气。现在该做什么? “我们不是您的敌人，陛下。” “我们帮了你。”“我知道，”哈维国王回答。 “我要好好感谢你。” AAACHOOO !小运球又打了个喷嚏。 “我真的得走了，”他说。 “这只需要一会儿，”国王说。 他打开抽屉，拿出一张

velvet box. "This pendant belonged to my father. He wore it in the battle against Panthera. The lion charm has a magic power —it brings the wearer great bravery." "So why do you keep it in a box instead of wearing it?" Princess Pulverizer asked. Oops. Maybe that had been a bit rude. But the king didn't seem to notice. "I guess I was afraid I'd lose it," he admitted. Princess Pulverizer choked back a laugh. What wasn't this king afraid of? "Anyway, I'd like you to have it now," the king continued. Princess Pulverizer didn't need a charm to make her brave. She was already pretty fearless. But she did know someone who could use a little bravery. "Lucas should have that pendant," Princess Pulverizer told King Harvey. "He has done some brave things. With that charm I am sure he will do many more." "Me?" Lucas asked.

丝绒盒子。“这个吊坠是我父亲的。 他在与潘瑟拉的战斗中戴着它。 狮子的护身符有一种魔力，它能给佩戴者带来极大的勇气。” “那你为什么要把它放在盒子里而不戴上呢？”粉碎机公主问。 哦。也许那有点粗鲁。 但国王似乎并没有注意到。 “我想我是害怕失去它，”他承认。 粉碎机公主强忍着笑。 这位国王不怕什么？ “不管怎样，我希望你现在就拥有它，”国王继续说。 粉碎机公主不需要符咒就能变得勇敢。 她已经相当无所畏惧了。 但她认识一个需要一点勇气的人。 “卢卡斯应该得到那个吊坠，”普莱尔公主对哈维国王说。 “他做了一些勇敢的事情。 有了这种魅力，我相信他会做更多的事情。” “我?”卢卡斯问道。

"Sure. You gave up your blanket to help our friends," Princess Pulverizer said, being very careful not to mention that those friends were unicorns. "That took a lot of courage." "I will miss my blankie," Lucas admitted. King Harvey fastened the chain around Lucas's neck.

“当然。你放弃了你的毯子来帮助我们的朋友。”粉碎机公主说，小心翼翼地不提那些朋友是独角兽。 “这需要很大的勇气。” “我会想念我的毯子的，”卢卡斯承认。 哈维国王把链子拴在卢卡斯的脖子上。
