Snežinke so se nežno spuščale na veličastni Blejski grad.

The snowflakes were gently falling on the majestic Blejski grad.

Bilo je silvestrovo.

It was New Year's Eve.

Vse je bilo okrašeno z lučkami, ki so se lesketale nad jezerom.

Everything was decorated with lights that shimmered over the lake.

Matej, kastel vitez, je bil živčen.

Matej, the castle knight, was nervous.

Nekdo je omenil, da je izginila dragocena relikvija.

Someone had mentioned that a valuable relic had disappeared.

Artefakt, ki je bil del bogate zgodovine gradu.

An artifact that was part of the rich history of the castle.

Matej je hodil po stopnicah.

Matej was walking up the stairs.

Zdelo se mu je, da srce bije hitreje kot običajno.

It seemed to him that his heart was beating faster than usual.

Povsod okoli njega so bili obiskovalci.

Visitors were everywhere around him.

Veselje, smeh in praznično razpoloženje so napolnjevali zrak.

Joy, laughter, and a festive mood filled the air.

Toda Matej ni bil sproščen.

But Matej was not at ease.

Vedel je, da mora najti relikvijo preden odbije polnoč.

He knew he had to find the relic before the stroke of midnight.

Vercelnikova Klara in njen bratranec Anže sta mu prišla na misel.

Vercelnikova Klara and her cousin Anže came to his mind.

Potreboval je pomoč in čas ga je preganjal.

He needed help, and time was chasing him.

Srečal ju je pri vhodu, kjer sta občudovala ledene skulpture.

He met them at the entrance, where they were admiring the ice sculptures.

"Klara, Anže, potrebujem vajino pomoč," je rekel Matej.

"Klara, Anže, I need your help," Matej said.

Brez oklevanja sta prikimala.

Without hesitation, they nodded.

Trije so se odpravili na iskalno akcijo.

The three of them set off on a search mission.

Prva postaja je bila dvorana okrašena za prizor kranjskog zimsko-veselje.

The first stop was the hall decorated for a scene of kranjsko zimsko-veselje.

Plesalci v ljudskih nošah so začeli svoj nastop.

Dancers in traditional costumes began their performance.

Matej se je trudil osredotočiti, toda množica ga je motila.

Matej tried to focus, but the crowd distracted him.

Klari je dal navodila, naj pregleda knjižnico, Anžetu pa kapelo.

He gave Klara instructions to check the library and Anže to the chapel.

Ure so minevale hitro.

The hours passed quickly.

Matej je čutil, kako se obroč okoli njegovega vratu zateguje.

Matej felt the noose tightening around his neck.

Ni našel nobene sledi.

He found no trace.

V trenutku obupa je pogledal festivalni oder, kjer so obiskovalci občudovali unikatno ledeno sovo.

In a moment of despair, he looked at the festival stage, where visitors were admiring a unique ice owl.

Nenadoma se mu je posvetilo.

Suddenly, it dawned on him.

Relikvija je bila tam, skrita v reliquius!

The relic was there, hidden in the reliquary!

Tako blizu, a tako daleč.

So close, yet so far.

Matej je pohitel do vitrine in previdno vzel artefakt.

Matej rushed to the case and carefully took the artifact.

Ravno pravi trenutek, tako je ura zapela dvanajst.

Just at the right moment, as the clock struck twelve.

Gostje so se obrnili k njemu in ploskali.

The guests turned to him and applauded.

Njegovi nadrejeni so bili očitno presenečeni in zadovoljni.

His superiors were clearly surprised and pleased.

Matej je v zatemnjenem prostoru čutil, kako vsak atom v njem ploska.

In the darkened space, Matej felt as if every atom in his body was applauding.

Ni bil več tisti, ki dvomi vase.

He was no longer the one who doubted himself.

Zdaj je vedel.

Now he knew.

Pravično je bilo zaupati Klari in Anžetu.

It was right to trust Klara and Anže.

Nasmehnil se je, ko se je vrnil med slavje, z relikvijo varno skrito in njegovo vero v lastne sposobnosti obnovljeno.

He smiled as he returned to the celebration, with the relic safely hidden and his faith in his own abilities restored.

Staro in novo leto sta se povezovala z ognjemetom, ki je osvetljeval vsako snežinko ob Bledu.

The old and the new year connected with a fireworks display that illuminated every snowflake over Bled.
