After Transmigrating to Become the Daughter of a Duke, I Just Want to Pursue a Career

"Reporting to Your Excellency, according to the feedback from the shadows, it seems that His Royal Highness the Third Prince did not do anything special, and even showed a lack of interest in investigating the case."

Although the duke's question involved members of the royal family, the butler didn't show any more expressions, but simply answered the question,

"In fact, the most common thing that His Highness the Third Prince did during this period was to participate in private parties held by various middle and lower nobles. At the party, His Highness the Third Prince did not talk about any official business at all, and it seemed that he was really just having fun. .”

"In addition, during this period, His Royal Highness the Third Prince met many noble ladies, and now the name of His Highness the Third Prince has begun to be circulated among the noble circles in Morodo City...... .”

"Humph!"

At the moment when the steward's voice fell, Duke Aldan, who had been expressionless, suddenly snorted coldly,

"If I'm not mistaken, that girl Lucica should be among the noble ladies that little bastard met, right?"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

At this moment, facing Duke Aldan who suddenly became a little angry for some reason, the butler bowed his head respectfully,

"The closest lady to the Third Prince these days is Miss Lucica."

At this point, the butler raised his head slightly, looked at the Duke whose face had calmed down again, and bent his waist and asked tentatively,

"Sir, is there anything I can do?"

Facing the butler's temptation, Duke Aldan suddenly closed his eyes and fell silent. When he opened his eyes again, the Duke turned his head abruptly and called out to a deserted place in the room,

"Sangers!"

The next moment, just as Duke Aldan's voice fell, a figure in a black cloak quietly appeared from the shadows. After seeing the person coming, the Duke ordered in a calm tone,

"Now go to my wife's side. There is a little bastard who seems to have thoughts about my daughter. You should pay more attention to this."

"Obey, Your Excellency the Duke." Regarding the Duke's order, the existence named Sangers first bowed slightly, and then asked calmly,

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, how much do I need to do?"

Regarding Sangers' inquiry, Duke Aldan paused for a moment, and after a while, he only heard him say with a sigh,

"Try not to do it. Although that little bastard is annoying, he still has a bit of sense..."

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The next moment, before Duke Aldan could explain his request, several thunderous bangs suddenly poured down from the dome, and the sound waves were so intense that it hurt people's eardrums.

Facing the sudden change, the two standing in front of the Duke approached the Duke almost in the next instant, and then each showed their weapons to protect the Duke tightly. They stared at the surroundings extremely cautiously, as if a crisis could happen at any time. Will pop up in general.

As for the current incident, Duke Aldan himself, who was protected by the two, was quite calm, except for the initial stunned look, there was no superfluous expression on his face.

After a while, when the loud noise reverberating in the sky gradually dissipated, Duke Aldan seemed to have discovered something. He suddenly pushed away Sangers who was standing in front of him, and faced the butler After explaining a few words, he went to the window on his own and pushed the originally closed window open.

And the moment the window was opened, a strange and sharp sound like a clown's smirk, along with the strong wind blowing down from the sky, was forcefully poured into the Duke's ears...... ...

[……… Residents of Molodo, I have hidden ten gemstones worth one hundred gold coins in every corner of this city. 】

[Go find it, go explore, whoever discovers the gem first, the gem will belong to him, let's see who will be the lucky one in this city! 】

【Now, the carnival begins——! 】

When the voice from the air faded away, Duke Aldan turned his head silently and looked at his two subordinates quietly. After a moment of silence, he stared at Sangers and asked coldly,

"Sangers, what's going on? Who is making trouble in my territory?"

"Sorry, sir, it was my negligence."

"I'm going to order the people below to start an investigation, and there should be results soon."

Facing the duke's questioning, Sangers first bent down and apologized to the duke, then he quickly raised his arm, and operated on a gem-studded wristband on his arm.

Not long after, the gems on Sangers' wristband suddenly started to glow, and a six-pointed star array could be faintly seen shining in it.

Seeing the gem glowing, Sangers immediately opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to the hexagram, but before he could speak, a message came in first.

After a while, the six-pointed star array that flashed on Sangers' wrist slowly dimmed. After that, he raised his head and looked at the Duke with a strange expression. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. .

Seeing Sangers' weird reaction, Duke Aldan frowned and asked,

"what happened?"

"Cough cough" for the Duke's inquiry, Sangers coughed a few times before gritted his teeth and responded,

"Your Excellency, the identity of the person who caused the incident has now been clarified. The person who caused this incident is, is..."

"It's Miss!"

Miss?

Hearing Sangers' answer, Duke Aldan was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't understand who the so-called "Miss" was. After a while, he suddenly remembered the existence of the girl.

"You mean Katerina? She was messing with what happened just now?"

After knowing the identity of the trouble maker, Duke Aldan felt a little inconceivable in his heart, and this mood made him instinctively ask again.

And when the Duke received a positive answer again, and learned from his subordinates that his daughter had successfully escaped the monitoring and disappeared, the Duke fell into a long silence.

Finally, I don't know how long it took, the originally silent Duke relaxed, and then he suddenly laughed lightly as if he had discovered something interesting,

"Hehe, it's interesting...it's really interesting."

"Although I knew that this child was not very peaceful, I didn't expect her to be able to do this......"

After the words fell, Duke Aldan suddenly looked at Sangers and his butler, and then gave orders to the two of them with a smile that was not a smile.

"Now, do three things at once."

"First, order the city defense forces to fully martial law and block all traffic arteries. From now on, Morodo City is only allowed to enter and not to exit!"

"Second, Karbas, now go and send a message to all the nobles in the city, inviting them to my city lord's mansion, saying that I have something important to announce. At the same time, send instructions to all the heads of the chamber of commerce, from now on To begin with, I don't want to see any caravans leave the city through 'any' channel."

"Finally, Sangers, now go and spread the word to the outside world, telling everyone that this treasure hunt is indeed real. It is a special event for this year's Harvest Festival, led by the Duke's Mansion, and everyone can participate."

"At the same time, tell people that they must abide by some rules to participate in the game. First, for the sake of fairness, everyone must not cover their faces in any form. Second, in order to prevent people from cheating, no one is allowed to leave the city until the end of the game."

"In addition, I want to reveal another piece of information to people. In order to facilitate everyone to enjoy the game better, some key points have been arranged in the city in advance. As long as you find these key points, you can get clues to the treasure."

"And these key points are in the hands of several girls who are about 13 years old. After finding a target that meets the standards, the participants need to confirm the identity of the other party to the surrounding soldiers. Once the identity is confirmed, they can get clues. "

"Okay, that's all for now, let's make arrangements."

At this moment, after listening to Duke Aldan's arrangement, Sangers and the butler looked at each other, both of them saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes, and in the end, the butler stepped forward and said,

"Your Excellency, are you really going to do this?"

"This...is this a little too much?"

"If you make such a big noise just to find the eldest lady, it will easily have a bad impact on the reputation of the Aldan family."

Facing the butler's admonition, the Duke just smiled lightly, then waved his hands and said,

"Don't worry, Karbas, I know it well."

"My uneasy daughter, what happened this time is really too big. Avoiding and covering up are the worst choices. Not only is it useless, but it may cause misjudgment by other forces."

"Since this is the case, it's better to admit it generously and follow the trend to minimize the adverse impact of the matter."

"in addition.........."

Having said this, the Duke suddenly looked at the sky outside the window, and then let out a long breath,

"The events of the day have shown me that I seem to have been quite incompetent as a father to have turned my daughter into a prankster."

"Before she makes bigger things, I must educate her well. Such behavior is wrong. As a daughter, you should not think about how to resist your father's will all day long, and you should learn what obedience is."

"A child should look like a child, after all......"

"The world of adults is very cruel~~"

Chapter 15 14. Anyone who bullies Lori must die!

Half an hour later, in another corner of the city, a certain young man named Joshua, who was "kindly" called a little bastard by Duke Aldan, was listening to the report brought by his subordinates with a gloomy face. bad news...........

"Olm, what's going on?"

At this moment, Joshua looked at the invitation letter from the Duke's mansion in his hand. He frowned tightly, while constantly kneading his temples, trying to suppress the negative emotions that were about to burst out in his heart. He tried his best to ask his subordinates for information in a calm tone.

Just now, the plan that His Royal Highness spent several months working hard to promote has been declared shattered. Now not only the purpose of the plan cannot be achieved, but he must also quickly dispatch people to finish the plan that has already started. What's wrong, don't talk about pulling the Duke into his camp, maybe he will have another enemy.

Joshua doesn’t think he’s someone who can’t afford to lose. It’s fine if his plan fails because of his lack of consideration. The problem is that he didn’t make any mistakes. It seems like fate is against him. When the implementation was just started, an accident that should not have existed suddenly appeared and destroyed everything.

This feeling of not being in control of the situation is simply terrible for His Royal Highness, who has always had a strong desire to control.

"Sorry, Your Highness, we haven't found out the reason yet."

"I don't know why, the Duke hid the information very tightly, and nothing can be found out."

On the other side, it seemed that he felt the irritability in His Royal Highness's heart at the moment. Orm, who was a guard knight, only hesitated slightly after hearing the other party's question, and then responded quickly.

Obviously, such an answer does not satisfy Joshua......

"Hehe, can't you hear the news?"

After a moment of silence, Joshua's mouth curled into a cold arc, and then, with a completely unsmiling smile on his face, he spoke softly to Olm in front of him,

"Is this a Harvest Festival joke?"

"What about the 'nails' we buried in advance? We spent so much money before, they couldn't reach the critical moment, but they were useless at all."

"Sorry, Your Highness~" Facing Joshua's chilling gaze, Olm lowered his head in shame,

"Just now, all the people we bribed were kicked out of the Duke's Mansion."

"What? They were kicked out of the duke's mansion?" At this moment, Joshua, who had a face full of chills when he heard Olm's words, was taken aback for a moment, and then murmured to himself.

"It shouldn't be......"

"This shouldn't be~, why did the duke do this~?"

"Could it be that the old lion is really old and confused? Isn't he afraid of causing misjudgment by others?"

"Or.........."

"Olm!" After hesitating for a while, Joshua suddenly looked at his subordinates, and then said in a solemn tone,

"Now you go to deal with the finishing touches immediately. Yes, you have to do it yourself, you must do it 'clean'!"
