Chapter 3

Chapter 3 "I wish we could go into the king's castle and spy on the knights. Then maybe we could find out where they spotted that old unicorn," Dribble said as he trudged along tiredly. "We sure haven't seen any sign of him." The princess and her pals had been walking quite a while, carefully remaining hidden in the bushes and trees so no one caught sight of Fortune as they searched for the old unicorn. From the top of the steepest hill they could see King Harvey's castle in the distance.

“我希望我们能进入国王的城堡，窥探骑士们。 这样也许我们就能知道他们是在哪里发现那只老独角兽的。” “我们确实没有看到他的任何迹象。” 公主和她的伙伴们已经走了很长一段时间，小心翼翼地躲在灌木丛和树林里，这样在他们寻找老独角兽的时候就没有人看到幸运女神了。 从最陡峭的山顶上，他们可以看到远处哈维国王的城堡。

Princess Pulverizer knew the knights in that castle were probably busy planning their next move. But she also knew that wasn't going to be any help to them. "No way we're getting in there," she replied. "The guards would stop us immediately. You can't enter a castle unless you work there, or you're really famous." "Or if you're a member of a royal family," Lucas reminded her. "Which is how we're going to get in there."

普莱泽公主知道城堡里的骑士们可能正忙着计划下一步行动。 但她也知道，这对他们没有任何帮助。 “我们不可能进去，”她回答。 “警卫会立即阻止我们。 除非你在那里工作，或者你真的很有名，否则你不能进入城堡。” “或者如果你是皇室成员，”卢卡斯提醒她。 “这就是我们进入那里的方式。”

Dribble gave him a confused look. "We are?" "Well, not you and me," Lucas corrected himself. "Only her." Princess Pulverizer gave him a look. "Her who?" she asked. "Her you," Lucas replied. "The guards would surely welcome Princess Serena of Empiria." "Great idea, little buddy!" Dribble cheered his pal. "It's not a great idea," Princess Pulverizer insisted. "Why not?" Lucas asked. "Because being Princess Serena was awful," she replied. "Do you have any idea how boring life is when the biggest decision you make all day is whether or not to wear a tiara? That's not me. I'm not serene. I'm a Pulverizer! Which is why I changed my name." "Do it for Fortune," Dribble pleaded. "That old unicorn is part of his family."

运球迷惑地看了他一眼。 “我们是谁?”“嗯，不是你和我，”卢卡斯纠正自己。 “只有她。”普莱尔公主看了他一眼。 “她是谁？”她问。“她是你，”卢卡斯回答。 “卫兵们一定会欢迎帝国的塞蕾娜公主的。” “好主意，小家伙！”运球为他的朋友欢呼。 “这不是个好主意。” “为什么不?”卢卡斯问道。“因为做塞蕾娜公主太可怕了，”她回答。 “你知道当你每天做的最大决定就是要不要戴头饰时，生活有多无聊吗？” 那不是我。我并不平静。 我是粉碎机！所以我改了名字。” “为了财富，”Dribble恳求道。 “那只老独角兽是他家人的一部分。”

Fortune looked up at Princess Pulverizer and batted his long lashes. That isn't fair. The princess wanted to help. But there had to be another way. "No! No! No!" Princess Pulverizer repeated. "I've been working really hard learning how to swish a sword, aim an arrow, and hold a jousting lance. I don't want to go back to curtsying and remembering how to hold my pinky when I drink tea."

福福抬起头来看着普莱泽公主，挥了挥长睫毛。 这不公平。公主想帮忙。 但肯定有别的办法。 “不!不!不!”粉碎机公主重复道。 “我一直在努力学习如何挥动剑，瞄准箭，握长矛。 我可不想回到那个要行屈膝礼，还要记住喝茶时怎么捏我的小指的时代。”

"Every knight has special, unique skills," Dribble told her calmly. "In your case, those skills include knowing how princesses are supposed to act." "You're really Princess Pulverizer," Lucas added. "You'll just use the name Serena to get into that castle and spy on the knights." "Your given name is just another weapon," Dribble assured her. "Like a sword, or an arrow." "Fine," Princess Pulverizer huffed. "I'll be Princess Serena. But just this once." She began stomping back toward Leononia. "Whoa. Wait a minute," Dribble called out. The princess stopped. "What now?" "You're not getting into any castle dressed like that," the dragon said. "You need a gown." That was true. "You're right! Let's come up with a new plan," the princess said—a bit too happily. "We don't need a new plan," Dribble replied. "You just need a new dress."

“每个骑士都有特殊的、独特的技能，”运球平静地告诉她。 “对你来说，这些技能包括知道公主应该怎么做。” “你真的是粉碎机公主，”卢卡斯补充道。 “你就用塞蕾娜这个名字进入城堡，暗中监视骑士们。” “你的名字只是另一件武器。” “就像一把剑，或者一支箭。” “好吧。”粉碎机公主生气地说。 “我要演塞蕾娜公主。但就这一次。” 她开始跺着脚向利昂妮娅走去。 “哇。等一下。”运球喊道。 公主停了下来。“现在?”“你穿成这样是进不了城堡的。” “你需要一件长袍。”这是真的。 “你是对的!让我们想出一个新计划。”公主说——有点太高兴了。 “我们不需要新的计划。” “你只需要一件新衣服。”

"Royal gowns are sewn by royal tailors," Princess Pulverizer argued. "Who work inside castles. We are outside the castle. So..." "I thought it was such a good idea." Lucas patted Fortune on the head. "It is a good idea," Dribble insisted. "But Princess Pulverizer said...," Lucas began. "I heard," Dribble said. "She will have royal tailors. You and I are going to create a dress fit for a princess—or at least this princess." "You need cloth to make a gown," Princess Pulverizer reminded him. Dribble looked at Lucas. "Don't you have a red-and-white cloth in the bottom of your knapsack?" "How did you see my blankie... I mean, blanket?!" Lucas yelped. "It was hidden." "You left your bag open one day," Dribble said. "I looked in there for some cheese. You've been carrying that blanket for a long time. It must be getting heavy."

“王室的礼服是由王室的裁缝缝制的，”普莱尔公主辩称。 “他们在城堡里工作。我们在城堡外面。 所以……”“我觉得这是个好主意。” 卢卡斯拍了拍福琛的头。 “这是个好主意。” “可是粉碎机公主说……卢卡斯开口说。 “我听说了。”“她将有皇家裁缝。 你和我要做一件适合公主的衣服——至少是这位公主的。” “你需要布料来做一件礼服。”普莱尔公主提醒他。 运球看着卢卡斯。“你的背包底下不是有一块红白相间的布吗？”“你是怎么看到我的毯子的……” 我是说，毯子？！”卢卡斯叫喊起来。 “它被藏起来了。”“有一天你把包打开了，”运球说。 “我在里面找奶酪。 你拿着那条毯子很久了。 肯定越来越重了。”
