原文:
The prince could only remain staring ahead to the horizon as Changmin dropped to his knees and slowly pierced his blade into the grass, a formal stance. He felt tears sting his eyes, but he made sure to keep his expression blank.
"I cannot ask you to forgive me, as I do not expect forgiveness to come," Changmin began, his voice low but clear. "I cannot ask you to understand, for I can give no explanation that would justify my actions. I cannot ask you to spare me, as I do not deserve a second chance.
I have broken the oath I swore to you, my prince and my savior. I have dishonored the knights and the kingdom with what I have done." He paused, and when he spoke next, there was a catch in voice that would have gone undetected by all but Prince Yoochun. "I accept what sentence you must bestow upon me now, so that when you have to announce it publicly, I will stand in silence."
Yoochun’s hands clenched at his sides, and still he said nothing.
"But…I want you to know…that while what I did went against orders…I did it with your safety and well-being in mind. I would never take a human life in cold blood. This I swear to you, my prince."
"You…expect me…to sentence you to death in front of all my subjects and your comrades, and watch it carried out in the same day, and do nothing?" Yoochun’s voice barely came out as a whisper. He finally looked down. Changmin stared up at him with a deep sadness in his eyes. "You and I know full well why I can’t and won’t."
"My prince, you must," Changmin began at once, but Yoochun held up a hand.
"I have fought beside you. I have known you longer than most in my household. I have seen you grow into a strong man with a brave, noble, and loyal heart dedicated to his country."
His composure broke and he leaned down to cup Changmin’s chin; the knight did not pull away, and he gained courage. "I have come to care more for you than I can properly put into words, and much more than I can say in polite company."
A corner of Changmin’s mouth lifted. "You are crazy if you think I will commit such a treachery to my friend. My lover," he added after a beat.
"Yoochun." They’d long since agreed to call each other by their given names, and yet it always made the prince’s heart flutter. "You and I both know that your father expects something, and to not do so would be treading on ice. I can’t go unpunished."

His hand curled away from Changmin’s face and his face became impassive once more. “I know.” There was a solution, one that would spare his beloved’s life, but at such a steep cost…
"Your Highness."
"I know. I know." He closed his eyes, and as he took a deep breath, the world fell away, and it was only the two of them in that moment. "I love you," he whispered, wanting the wind to carry it across the lands and deliver the message to every house, every estate, every person. "That will never change."
"And my love for you will never fade," he heard Changmin answer back.
Silence fell upon them again, and then the sound of heavy boots reached his ears. Yoochun opened his eyes and turned to see the other nights forming a semi-circle some feet away, all looking worse for the wear. Three were in tears. His father stood in the front, facing Changmin, a grave but determined expression on his face.
“Lord Shim Changmin of the Onyx Knights,” the king said solemnly. Yoochun saw Changmin’s knuckle tighten around the sword. “You have taken the life of a human being. However, after a careful investigation, it has been revealed that you thought the safety of the heir to the throne at risk. I have taken this into consideration.
"With all that said, we have come to a decision and shall dole out a punishment befitting your crime."
Get it over with. Yoochun wanted the world to end now. He did not want to be there to hear what would follow.
Changmin stayed kneeling, though his shoulders shook ever so slightly.
"You have been sentenced to exile in the Outlands." Yoochun’s head shot up, his entire body shaking. In front of him, he saw Changmin sway even on his knees. The king looked upon him with great sorrow. "You have always been dear to me and my family. A death sentence would have destroyed my only son."
He briefly looked at Yoochun. “You may not cross the borders into the kingdom without official consent or waiver from the crown or the governors of the country. You will be now be escorted back to the castle for an official reading of your sentence, as well as to make you aware of the restrictions being placed upon you.” In a rare show of affection for his son, as he passed, the king clapped Yoochun on the shoulder. “I am sorry,” he stated simply before continuing on.
One of the nights approached Changmin hesitantly. “We…we gotta take you now. From what we heard, you gotta be out of here by midnight.” He bit his lip and bowed before Yoochun. “However, I think it’d be allowed for his Highness to speak to him one last time—”
"No." Changmin rose steadily to his feet, meeting none of their eyes. He could only look at Yoochun. "We have said our goodbyes." He stopped talking then, and for a long moment—or an hour, or day, it was hard to say—they simply gazed at each other. The other knights turned their backs, giving them privacy.
Rather than crying, Yoochun chose to sigh and nod. It was how things would be from now on. “Live, Changmin. That’s all I ask of you.”
"Your Highness." He sprang to a salute, his right fist crossed over his heart. A small tear ran down the side of his nose as he stood straight. "It has been the greatest honor to serve and protect you. May our next meeting, in this lifetime or another…be a happy one."
Yoochun’s hands trembled. “Finis vitae sed non amoris.” Changmin bowed his head and turned away, but not before Yoochun caught that full smile he had longed to see.
It is the end of life, but not of love.

王子用一个正式的站姿继续盯着前方的地平线,昌珉跪下慢慢地把他的刀刺在草丛中。他感到眼泪刺痛他的眼睛,但他一定要保持他表达的空白。
“我不能请你原谅我,我不会求你的宽恕,”昌珉开始说,他的声音低沉而清晰的。”我不能让你理解,因为我不能解释些什么来证明我的行为。我不会让你给我宽容,不应该拥有第二次机会。”
“我已经打破了誓言,我向你发誓,我的王子,我的救主。我已经做了使骑士和王国丢脸的事。”他停顿了一下,当他说下一个,声音中有未被发现的蹊跷,但有天王子却有所察觉。“我接受这句,所以当你要公开宣布而已,我会站在沉默中。”
有天的手紧握在他两侧,他还是什么也没说。
“但是……我想让你知道……我做了什么,而违背命令……我是你心目中的保卫角色。我决不会把人类流着寒冷的血。我向你发誓,我的王子。”
“你……希望我……要判你死在我的所有臣子和你的战友面前,看它在同一天进行的,什么都不做?”有天的声音几乎成了耳语。他终于低头。昌珉盯着他,眼睛里有一种深深的悲伤。“你和我完全知道为什么我不能,我做不到。”
“我的王子,你必须,”昌珉马上就开始了,但有天举起一只手。
“我一直在你身边。我知道你在我的王室似乎比实际时间长。我看到你成长为一个强壮的男人和一个勇敢的,高尚的,和忠诚的心献给祖国。”
他沉着断了,他俯下身来拽下昌珉的下巴;骑士没有移动,王子获得了勇气。“虽然我没有合适的语言来表达,但我可以来照顾你,比起我们现在完全应酬的相处方式。”
昌珉的嘴角抬起,“你疯了,如果你认为我会犯这样错背叛我的朋友。我的爱人,”他补充说在一拍。
“有天。”他们早就同意彼此直呼其名,但它总是把王子的心颤振。“你和我都知道你父亲希望的东西,如果不这样做我们会陷入如履薄冰的境地,我一样不能逍遥法外。”

他的手扭曲了昌珉的脸,他的脸变得更加冷漠。“我知道。”有一个解决方案,一个能饶恕他心爱的人的生命,但要花这样一个极高的成本…
“殿下”
“我知道,我知道。”他闭上眼睛,当他做了个深呼吸后,世界消失了,只有他们两个人在那一刻。”我爱你,”他低声说,让风把它带到土地和消息传递到每一家,每一个人。”这是永远不会改变的。”
“我对你的爱永不褪色,”他听到昌珉回答。
两个人再次陷入沉默,然后沉重的皮靴声传到了他的耳朵里。有天睁开眼睛,转过身去看另一边的夜色,形成一个半圈几英尺远的阴影,事情变的更糟。三人都流下了眼泪。他的父亲站在前面,面对着昌珉,他脸上的表情沉重而坚定。
“Onyx骑士主领沈昌珉,”国王郑重地说。有天看了昌珉握着剑的手紧了紧。“你带走了一个人的生命。然而,仔细的调查后,它已经显示你想继承王位的安全风险。我考虑到了这个。我说,我们已决定要发放适合你的罪。”
结束这一切。有天想世界末日来了,他不想站在那里听到接下来会说什么。
昌珉继续跪着,尽管他的肩膀在轻轻颤抖着。
“你已经在外域判处流放。”有天的头抬了起来,他的整个身体颤抖。在他的面前,他看到昌珉动摇甚至跪下。国王看着他非常悲伤。“你一直爱我和我的家人,死刑会毁了我的儿子。”
他略略看着有天。“没有官方的或者被流放国家统治者的允许,你不可能跨越边界进入王国。
现在你将被护送回到城堡,等待正式的判决,以及让你意识到限制被放置在你的身上。”在他对孩子表现了罕见的慈爱,当经过有天身边时,国王拍上他的肩膀。“对不起,”他简单地说然后转身走掉。
那天晚上有天犹豫着来到昌珉面前。“我们……我们需要你现在。听我说,午夜你必须离开这里。”他咬着自己的嘴唇和拜天。“虽然,我知道这不会被父亲允许,最后一次我的任性”
“不行,”昌珉稳步走到他的面前,他们的眼睛紧紧盯着对方。他只能看着有天。“我们说了再见。”说完,然后他停了下来,一小时,或一天,甚至一个世纪,很难说他们只是盯着对方。其他骑士转背,给他们足够的空间。
有天的手在颤抖。“也许是生命的结束,但不是爱。”昌珉低下头说,转身走了,但在他看不见的地方有天脸上露出他一直渴望看到的满满的微笑。
它是生命的结束,但不是爱。

我的解读应该是沈昌珉背叛了国家 希望作为王子的朴有天结束他的生命
我知道你爱我,我也爱你,可是我还是希望你杀了我,我们才可以真的say goodbye
----沈昌珉
我知道你的背叛,但是我并不介意,我们能不能不要goodbye的结局
----朴有天
我知道你背叛我的国家,就算生气我也不能判你死刑,那样会毁了我唯一的儿子
----有天的父亲
结局并不像是BE,据我推断应该是朴有天要为沈昌珉创造一个假死的场景,让沈昌珉逃走,所以It is the end of life, but not of love.
可能多年以后沈昌珉会回来,带着他们的爱回来
第一眼看到这句话还以为是BE,可是我居然还是看下来了,翻译真是个累人的活┭┮﹏┭┮
这个澳大利亚小姑娘的脑子还真是复杂...还看到几篇好的 有空也会翻译一下
