At the Embassy. The Ambassador is sat at a table, the Countess in
a chair in front and the General standing next to her. All are in
their bedclothes. A man marches to the desk.
AMBASSADOR. Well?
SERVANT. No trace, Your Excellency.
AMBASSADOR. Have you searched the grounds?
SERVANT. Every inch, Sir, from the attics to the cellar.
屋根裏
AMBASSADOR. I must put you on your honor not to speak of this to
anyone.
強いて～させる 名誉にかけて
I must remind you that the Princess is the direct heir to
the throne.
念を押す 王位
This must be classified as top-crisis secret.
Have I your pledge?
誓い
SERVANT. Yes, Sir.
AMBASSADOR. Very well. [The man turns and marches out. He turns
to the other two].
Now we must notify Their Majesties.
知らせる
The General looks up at him, worried; the Countess looks up at the
General, standing, and turning to the Ambassador who looks at
them, waiting for an affirmation. Receiving none, he stands up
himself and walks from behind the desk.
