but even so Lancel kept his voice low.
即便如此，蓝赛尔爵士还是压低了声音。
"Lord Gyles will take him to Rosby, and conceal him there in the guise of a page.

They plan to darken his hair and tell everyone that he is the son of a hedge knight."

"Is it the mob she fears? Or me?"
“她是怕暴民？还是我？”
"Both," said Lancel.

A splendid way to die before he finished growing that mustache,

That night, when the Red Keep was dark, Bronn arrived to find him sealing a letter.
当晚，红堡暗下来之后，波隆来到他房里。他正在封信，
"Take this to Ser Jacelyn Bywater."
“把信带给杰斯林·拜瓦特爵士，”
The dwarf dribbled hot golden wax down onto the parchment.
侏儒将加热过的金蜡滴到羊皮纸上。
"What does it say?"
“上面写些什么？”
Bronn could not read, so he asked impudent questions.
波隆不识字，因此会提出这种无礼问题。
"That he's to take fifty of his best swords and scout the roseroad."
“要他挑五十个最好的剑士，去玫瑰大道巡视。”
Tyrion pressed his seal into the soft wax.
提利昂在软蜡上盖了自己的印章。
"Stannis is more like to come up the kingsroad."
“史坦尼斯会走国王大道。”
"Oh, I know. Tell Bywater to disregard what's in the letter and take his men north.
“噢，我当然知道。告诉拜瓦特，别理信上说什么，
He's to lay a trap along the Rosby road.

"No. I want him taken on to the castle."
“不对。我要他继续前往罗斯比城。”
Removing the boy from the city was one of his sister's better notions, Tyrion had decided.
让这孩子离开君临是姐姐为数不多的好主意之一，提利昂决定将计就计。
