u know what…就是 shiro写了一些很有伏笔的东西……我真的要哭

Claude couldn't help but laugh at that. Thinking the day Byleth might leave as some hazy, distant "someday" made all the difference. He let out a breath and felt himself relax, sinking into the pillow as well as into Byleth. Just before sleep could take him, he had one last thought.

库罗德忍不住笑了。想想拜勒斯离开的那一天，就像一个朦胧的、遥远的“某一天”，这一切都不一样了。他松了一口气，感到自己放松了下来，陷入了枕头里，也陷入了拜勒斯的身体里。就在他快要睡着的时候，他有了最后一个想法。

"Byleth?"

“拜勒斯?”

"Weren't you up all night last night meditating?" Byleth grumbled. "You should be asleep right now."

“你昨晚不是整晚都在冥想吗?”拜勒斯抱怨道，“你现在应该睡着了。”

"Soon," Claude promised. "I was just thinking: one day I'll retire just like my dad did. And I think...maybe I'll want to travel. See places outside of Almyra, you know? I'd need a guide. And a bodyguard. And I could afford your price by then. Think you'd accept the contract?"

“很快,”库罗德答应道。“我只是在想: 有一天我会像我父亲那样退休。我想... 也许我会想去旅行。看看帕迈拉以外的地方？我需要一个向导。还有保镖。到时候我能付得起你的价钱。你觉得你会接受这份合同吗?”

"I'm a mercenary, Claude. I might not live that long." A warm kiss against the back of Claude's neck. "But if I do, our contract remains the same: you pay with your ass or not at all."

“我是个雇佣兵，库罗德。我可能活不了那么久。”一个温暖的吻在库罗德的脖子后面。“但是如果我这么做了，我们的合同还是一样的: 要么用你的屁股付钱，要么干脆不付。”

Claude chuckled and finally felt that first wave of exhaustion rolling over him. "I wouldn't have it any other way, Byleth."

库罗德咯咯地笑了起来，终于感觉到第一波疲惫袭来。“我不会有别的选择，拜勒斯”

那就是，我觉得，贝说过的他不能在一个地方长时间呆着，是不是就是，他知道自己会非常长寿了……
所以最后，或许就是那样的结局吧——库罗德最后会像他父亲一样见到那两样古物，给继任者加冕，再跟一个穿着黑盔甲的雇佣兵去远方旅行了……
