第101章 英国 (3 / 4)
        马库斯，伊丽莎白和露西依次落座于这张没有主次之分的圆桌，在圆桌上所有人都平等，可以尽情发言，这是亚瑟王时代的规矩，也是贝德维尔家族所传承下来的规矩。

        “So， the meeting begins（那么，会议开始）.”岁数最大，超过一百岁的那位老者敲了敲自己桌面上那顶铜制小钟，发出了一声沉闷厚实的钟声，久久回荡在这间已经从马库斯一行进入后就被专门人员从外部守卫着的会议室。

        “Lucy Bedivere， the direct desdant of the man who was removed fr the family， is going to return to our family now. What's your opinion（露西·贝德维尔，那名被家族除名的男人的直系后裔，现如今打算回归我们的家族，诸位有何意见）？”年龄最大的元老率先抛出了此次会议的讨论点。

        “I totally agree（我完全赞同）.”伊丽莎白力挺自己的侄女，对着露西露出了慈祥的笑容。

        马库斯没有言语，却是点了点头。

        露西神色平静，容颜冰冷，但还是对着自己的亲叔叔和亲姑姑投来的视线露出了一抹浅浅的微笑。

        “I don't agree. That man is no longer a member of our family. He broke the rules of family lineage， married an ordinary fn wan， and defiled the purity of the noble lineage of our Bedivere family（我可不同意，那个男人已经不是我们家族的成员了，他坏了家族血统的规矩，娶了一名普通的外国女子，玷污了我们贝德维尔家族高贵血统的纯洁）！”一名头发花白，脸上长满老年斑元老出声呵斥道，“The blood in that guy's daughter's body is not pure enough（那个家伙的女儿体内所流的鲜血已经不够纯粹了）！”

        露西的嘴角扯起一抹讥讽笑意，如果真要论血统的话，你们这些普通人又如何能与注射过“弑神血清”的自己相比？只不过相对于贝德维尔家族而言，屠神者组织更加隐秘而且不能被人所知晓罢了，更何况自己已经脱离了屠神者组织，否则露西当场就想指着那位元老的鼻子咒骂反驳起来。

        脸上长满老年斑的元老此话一出，圆桌上其他元老顿时也是纷纷附和起来，大有一副会议就此结束的样子。

        一位元老正准备说些什么，已经微微张嘴。

        马库斯却轻轻咳嗽两声，打断了那位元老和会议室内窸窸窣窣的议论声，“I think that the n-aive idea of purity of blood within the family should have been eliminated for a long time. Nowadays， there is no real distin between dignity and nobility， and everyone is equal. My brother... The inal patriarch has been expelled fr the family by you， and has nht any trouble to the family sihen. Even after being chased by the gang to the death， the family has not given Lucy's father any help. Even if you call it “punishment“， I think it is enough. What's more， there's a fn saying that it's not as bad as the family， so there's o extend it to his desdants. What's more， half of Lucy's body really belongs to our Bedivere family（诸位元老，家族内部所谓的血统纯洁这种幼稚想法我觉得早就应该彻底消除了，现如今这个时代可没有什么真正的尊卑贵贱之分，讲究人人平等。我的哥···当初的族长已经被你们逐出了家族，而且之后也并没有给家族带来任何麻烦，甚至被黑帮追杀到临死前家族都没有给予露西的父亲任何帮助，即使你们所谓的‘惩罚’，我觉得也已经足够多了。更何况外国有句话说得好，祸不及家人，那么就没必要延续到他的后代身上，更何况露西的体内确实有一半是属于我们贝德维尔家族的血统）.”

        对于马库斯的突然发言，众元老并没有如何反感，那位被抢先发言的元老也并无愤怒神色，因为坐上圆桌之人便代表着话语的平等，不存在地位和辈分的区分。

        “Marcus， although you are now the head of Bedivere family， and you took the lead iermination of gangs that threatened our family with destru ah se time ago， you should not fet who pushed you to this position， who gave you the status and power you have now， and who helped you to pacify the family All kinds of objes are fr us， the elders present. What we rely on is the rules passed down fr one family to the present. Without these rules， the Bedivere family has not developed to the scale of today， and has long beeroyed with the death of aors（马库斯，虽然你是现如今贝德维尔家族的族长，而且在前段时间那场对我们家族有着破坏和致命威胁的黑帮们的剿灭活动中身先士卒，占据了很大的功劳，但是你不要忘了是谁将你推上了这个位置，是谁让你拥有了如今的地位和权势，又是谁帮你抚平了家族内部的各种异议，全都是我们这些在场的元老，而我们所凭借的就是一条条家族传承至今的规则，没有这些规则的存在，贝德维尔家族发展不到今天的规模，早就随着先祖的死亡而覆灭了）.”一位留着花白络腮胡的元老恨恨出声道，眼神中透露着秃鹫般的阴狠。

        马库斯脸上的神情变了变，死死盯着那名戳中自己要害的络腮胡元老，“Since you admit that I am theleader of this family， I will use theleader's right to abolish this bulls-hitrule of “keep the blood purity and forbid intermarriage with civilians“. When my brother was expelled fr the family by you， I had a great opinion on you. The elders of the Bedivere family have a high status（既然你承认我是这个家族的族长，那么我便动用族长的权利，废除掉这个狗屁“保持血统纯洁，不许与平民通婚”的族规，当初我的哥哥被你们赶出家族的时候，我就对你们有着很大的意见，贝德维尔家族地位崇高的元老们）！”
