3 Kindness Is King

CHAPTER 3

第三章

Kindness Is King King Caleb threw Lucas's peasant clothes into the fireplace. They burst into flames. "What were you thinking?" cried King Caleb. "You are a royal prince. You must behave like one. Peasants are not equal to royals." "But, Father, I have no friends," said Lucas. "I'm bored out of my royal britches."

善良为王迦勒把卢卡斯的农家装扔进了壁炉。 它们突然燃烧起来。“你在想什么？”迦勒国王叫道。 “你是一位高贵的王子。你必须表现得像个孩子。 农民不等于皇室成员。” “可是，爸爸，我没有朋友，”卢卡斯说。 “我无聊死了。”

"You should spend more time with my knights," suggested the king. "You can train with them." "It's not the same," said Lucas. "I'm lonely, and I need a friend my own age. I want somebody to talk to, and most of all, someone to go on adventures with me." The king sighed. He hated to see his son so unhappy, but he couldn't allow him to be friends with the peasants. Even they would think it was strange. He looked to Lucas's mother, Queen Tasha, for help. "Your father is right," said the queen as she brushed her long red hair. "But you are also right, Lucas. You do need a friend."

“你应该多陪陪我的骑士。”国王建议道。 “你可以和他们一起训练。” “这是不一样的，”卢卡斯说。 “我很孤独，我需要一个和我同龄的朋友。 我想找个人说说话，最重要的是，想找个人和我一起去冒险。” 国王叹了口气。他不愿看到儿子如此不快乐，但又不允许他和农民交朋友。 就连他们也会觉得很奇怪。 他向卢卡斯的母亲塔莎女王寻求帮助。 “你父亲说得对。”王后边说边梳理她的红色长发。 “但你也说得对，卢卡斯。 你确实需要一个朋友。”

She looked at her husband.

她看着她的丈夫。

"Anna Gills is like family to me," said Queen Tasha. "And her daughter, Clara, was like a sister to Lucas. Perhaps we should allow them to play together once in a while." King Caleb rubbed his blond beard thoughtfully. He was a mighty king, but he had a kind heart.

“安娜吉尔斯就像我的家人。”塔莎王后说。 她的女儿克拉拉就像卢卡斯的妹妹一样。 也许我们应该允许他们偶尔在一起玩。” 迦勒国王若有所思地揉了揉他的金发胡子。 他是一个强大的国王，但他有一颗善良的心。
