3 Sir Desdan’s Team

CHAPTER 3

第三章

Sir Desdan's Team Tap! Tap! Tap! Clara knocked on the castle's kitchen door at seven o'clock in the morning, the time King Caleb and Queen Tasha always had breakfast. A basket of cinnamon rolls with sweet vanilla glaze—the king's favorite— hung from her wrist. "Perfect timing," Lucas whispered as he let Clara in. He had been waiting in the kitchen for her arrival. "My mother and father just sat down." Clara followed Lucas through the kitchen and into the dining room.

德斯丹爵士的团队！利用!利用!克拉拉在早上七点钟敲城堡厨房的门，凯莱布国王和塔莎王后总是在这个时候吃早饭。 她的手腕上挂着一篮子肉桂卷，上面撒着国王最喜欢的甜香草酱。 “时机正好，”卢卡斯让克拉拉进来时小声说。 他一直在厨房里等她的到来。 “我的父母刚刚坐下。” 克拉拉跟着卢卡斯穿过厨房，进了餐厅。

"You're going to put me out of a job," grumbled Cook as they walked past. Clara tried not to laugh. Lucas pushed open the dining room door. "Clara has something special for you," Lucas announced.

“你会让我失业的，”他们走过时库克抱怨道。 克拉拉忍住不笑。卢卡斯推开餐厅的门。 “克拉拉有特别的东西要给你，”卢卡斯宣布。

Clara stepped forward and held out her basket of cinnamon rolls for King Caleb. The king smiled and lifted the napkin from the basket. Then he rubbed his hands together excitedly. "Oh, my favorite!" he cried, and he placed a warm cinnamon roll on his plate. He licked the glaze from his fingers. "Scrumptious! And now that you two have my attention, what is it you want?" Clara shot a glance at Lucas. Had the cinnamon rolls plan been that obvious? Lucas drew in a breath and got to the point. "We'd like to go on the mission to Trellis," he said.

克拉拉走上前去，把她那一篮子肉桂卷递给迦勒国王。 国王笑了笑，把餐巾从篮子里拿了出来。 然后他兴奋地搓着手。 “哦，我的最爱！”他叫道，把一个热肉桂卷放在盘子里。 他舔掉手指上的釉。 “美味的!现在我注意到你们两个了，你们想要什么？”克拉拉瞥了卢卡斯一眼。 肉桂卷的计划有那么明显吗？ 卢卡斯吸了口气，说到点子上了。 “我们想去特雷利斯执行任务，”他说。

The king held a bite of cinnamon roll on the end of his fork. "Oh, you would, would you?" he said. Lucas and Clara sat at the table, and Lucas stated his case. "Father, if I'm going to be king someday, I need to understand the mysteries of our kingdom," he argued. "How else will I become a good ruler?"

国王在叉子的末端咬了一口肉桂卷。 “哦，你会的，是吗？”他说。 卢卡斯和克拉拉坐在桌旁，卢卡斯陈述了他的情况。 “父亲，如果有一天我要成为国王，我需要了解我们王国的奥秘，”他争辩道。 “不然我怎么能成为一个好统治者呢？”
