6 Not Fair!

CHAPTER 6

第六章

Not Fair! Lucas gazed out of his window and shivered. A thick blanket of fog had settled over Trellis. Wow, Lucas thought. You can't see anything! He changed into his clothes, slipped on his boots, and hurried to meet the others in the dining room.

不公平的!卢卡斯望着窗外，打了个寒颤。 一层厚厚的雾笼罩在棚架上。 哇，卢卡斯想。你什么也看不见！他换上衣服，套上靴子，急忙去餐厅迎接其他人。

At breakfast Clara and Lucas ate steaming bowls of oatmeal. They both drizzled honey and sprinkled blueberries on top. Then the team mapped out a plan for the day. "With the heavy fog, the visibility is very low," Sir Desdan noted. Dame Laurel set down her spoon. "Dense fog is very unusual in Trellis. I have reason to believe there's something sinister behind it." Sir Desdan brought his fist down on the table, and the knights all flinched.

早餐时，克拉拉和卢卡斯吃了一碗热气腾腾的燕麦粥。 他们都在上面淋上蜂蜜和蓝莓。 然后团队制定了一天的计划。 “由于大雾，能见度非常低，”德斯丹爵士指出。 劳雷尔夫人放下勺子。 “浓雾在格里斯是很不寻常的。 我有理由相信这背后有什么邪恶的东西。” 德斯丹爵士一拳砸在桌上，骑士们全都退缩了。

"Well, that settles it," he said. "We can't have these younglings along if we're really dealing with sorcery." Lucas pushed back his chair, and it scraped over the stone floor so hard, the sound echoed throughout the entire dining room. "You can't leave us behind," he cried. "My father wants us to be part of this mission. It's by order of the king."

“好吧，这就解决了，”他说。 “如果我们真的要对付魔法的话，就不能让这些小孩子跟我们在一起。” 卢卡斯把椅子往后推了推，椅子在石头地板上擦得很用力，声音在整个餐厅回响。 “你不能丢下我们，”他喊道。 “我父亲希望我们成为这项使命的一部分。 这是国王的命令。”

Sir Desdan shook his head firmly. "And the king also said you must follow my orders. This mission is dangerous, and I can't let anything happen to the prince or the prince's friend." Both Lucas and Clara huffed in disgust. "We've been on missions far more dangerous than this," Lucas argued. Sir Desdan stood up from the table. "The answer is no," he boomed. "You're to stay behind, and that's an order." Ruskin growled.

德斯丹爵士坚定地摇了摇头。 王又说，你必须听从我的命令。 这个任务很危险，我不能让王子或王子的朋友出任何事。” 卢卡斯和克拉拉都厌恶地吹了起来。 “我们执行过比这危险得多的任务，”卢卡斯说。 德斯丹爵士从桌旁站了起来。 “答案是否定的，”他大声说。 “你得留下来，这是命令。” Ruskin咆哮道。

"And call off that pesky dragon of yours," he added. Then Sir Desdan snapped his fingers, and the knights followed him to the stables. "I'm sorry," Dame Laurel said before leaving. "Sir Desdan is harsh, but it's probably safer this way."

“把你那条讨厌的龙叫走。”他又加了一句。 接着，德斯丹爵士打了个响指，骑士们跟着他来到马厩。 “对不起，”劳雷尔爵士在离开前说。 “德斯丹爵士很严厉，但这样可能更安全。”
