As she spoke, Katerina stood up suddenly, and walked all the way to a bookcase in the study. After opening the bookcase, the girl carefully took out a box the size of a human face from the cabinet, and then turned back to Seria in front of you.
Facing Celia's stunned gaze, Katerina, who was holding the box, smiled lightly,
"Selia, remember? Before you went to Abt Territory to quell the rebellion, I told you that I will give you a gift when you come back this time."
"Originally, I planned to give you this gift on a more formal occasion, so as to surprise you, but I didn't expect that the Burros people suddenly went crazy, so this matter had to be postponed."
"Now that you already know about this matter, it is impossible to surprise you. If you don't explain it clearly, it will make you feel knotted. Then I will tell you directly......"
"I have prepared a knight's territory for you, and this box contains the documents of the territory, which have been stamped with the royal family's seal, and you, Celia, are the master of that territory."
"From today onwards, you are a knight with a territory, a real knight!"
"Miss, you, you shouldn't be like this..." At this moment, looking at the box handed over by Katerina, Celia, who knew the meaning of it, couldn't help taking a breath .
After a while, Celia, who couldn't even speak clearly, stretched out her hand tremblingly, as if she wanted to take the box in the girl's hand, but she just raised her arm in the air, as if she had been electrocuted. In general, he instinctively retracted his arms.
"I, I'm not qualified to be a knight, miss, you shouldn't pay such a high price for me, an insignificant person, uh..."
The next moment, without waiting for Celia to finish speaking, Katerina suddenly stepped forward and interrupted her self-deprecating words with actions.At this time, the girl clasped the box in Seria's hand vigorously, and then stared at the female knight in front of her seriously, until she stared at the knight so hard that she couldn't speak, then the girl spoke forcefully. ,
"Selia, don't belittle yourself, you are the best knight I have ever seen, no matter in any respect, you will not lose to others."
"If even you are not qualified to be a knight, then more than [-]% of the knights in this world will have to dig a hole and bury themselves in shame"
"Also, never say that you are insignificant. I don't know why you have such an idea, but I want to tell you...you are important!"
"At least for me, you are the person I trust the most, and you are very, very important to me!"
At this moment, looking at the sincere eyes of the young girl in front of her, Celia, who has always shown her image of perseverance, suddenly had a sore nose, and a mixed feeling in her heart made her eyes turn red .
Due to the influence of family factors, Celia longed to become a knight since she was a child, but no matter how hard she tried to train herself, she was never recognized by the elders. Not getting the attention of the family.
Everything is just because she is a woman!
Because I am a woman, my efforts are not taken seriously. Because I am a woman, my achievements are not recognized. Because I am a woman, the eyes of the elders will always only fall on the brothers who are more suitable as heirs.
How can Celia, who has a strong personality, not feel uncomfortable in such a day that has not been valued or cherished?
However, no matter how uncomfortable it is, it is useless, because no one will care about this kind of girl's "little temper". No matter how much she "tortures", once she is put together with her brothers, she will never be the one chosen.
When similar plots are staged repeatedly, no matter how hot your heart is, it will eventually cool down.
After that, Celia learned to give up and understood the gap between dreams and reality. She began to become obedient, like a grown-up child, and no longer resisted the cold reality.
Until one day, a not tall figure stood in front of her like a majestic mountain, and then told her with the most powerful voice that she is the best knight in the world, no worse than anyone else, she is very important, more than anyone else All important!
It was this feeling of being valued, tolerated, and understood that instantly broke Celia's defenses.
"Uh, Celia, even if this gift surprises you, you won't cry~"
"Hurry up and put away your tears, this is not like you..."
At this moment, looking at Celia with flushed eyes, Katerina was a little confused. She never expected such a plot development. In the girl's heart, Celia has always been a hard-working woman, like Celia Such a woman should not believe in tears like herself, but only believe in "my fate is up to me".
But now, Celia suddenly turned into an image of a soft girl, which made Katerina a little at a loss.
On the other side, facing Katerina who was at a loss, Celia took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart, and then, holding the box in her hand, she solemnly turned to the girl. He knelt down on one knee, and then, a voice that revealed endless fortitude sounded in the room,
"I, Celia Brown, I swear in the name of a knight!"
"From today on, I am willing to entrust my life to Your Excellency Katerina Aldan, and Her Excellency Katerina Aldan is my lord!"
"From now on, I will dedicate myself to my duty, using my body as a shield, to defend the glory of the lord! I will abide by my heart, use my spirit as the blade, and carry out the will of the lord!"
"If I violate this oath, may the gods strip away my soul and let me fall into hell forever!"
At this moment, facing Celia's solemn oath, Katerina raised her hand subconsciously, wanting to tell Celia that there is no need to do so, but after she opened her mouth, she still didn't speak, but let Seria made the oath of knighthood, because the girl knew very well that with Seria's current attitude, if she was interrupted at this time, there might be big problems in the future.
Finally, after waiting for the end of the oath ceremony, Katerina breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepped forward to help Celia, and then said with a relaxed tone,
"Okay, Celia, tomorrow I will explain to Viscount Wayne, and then I will hold a canonization ceremony for you, and you will be considered a real knight in the future. It happens to be going to war soon, and you will watch over the army for me , I can feel more at ease."
"Now that I have fulfilled my promise, I can only go on my own. I wish you all the best in your pursuit of your dreams."
"in addition.........."
Speaking of this, Katerina suddenly looked Celia up and down, and then said with a face of ridicule,
"Go and change your clothes. You don't want to wear this maid outfit anymore. I said a long time ago that you are more suitable to dress up as a knight."
Facing Katerina's joke, Celia didn't respond, but asked with a frown as if thinking of something,
"Miss...Your Excellency, after I leave, who do you plan to replace me with?"
"It's really not a reassuring thing to let someone who doesn't know the background come to your side, or else I'd better talk to Morodo City......"
"Don't worry, the candidate has already been decided." Before Celia finished speaking, Katerina waved her hand and said,
"I plan to let Avril take over your position. I have observed for a long time these days. She is indeed a capable person. Whether she is a maid or a clerk, she can basically do it with ease."
"In addition, her identity is quite embarrassing, so that there is no need to consider the issue of loyalty, so she was chosen."
After the voice fell, Katerina originally wanted to say something more, but at this moment, she suddenly looked back at the desk full of documents, and then, she heard the girl whine,
"Damn, too much time has been wasted, and the documents will be piled up again soon. It seems that I won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Ah, ah, it's really annoying!"
At this moment, after hearing Katerina's complaint, Celia, who had just been promoted to knight, subconsciously said,
"Your Excellency, you should rest well. You don't have to fight so hard. I swear, I will use the long sword in my hand to defeat the Bulai invaders for you!"
"Burros~?" Regarding Celia's remarks, Katerina blinked her eyes first, then rubbed her temples, and said with a complicated tone,
"Don't think about it, Celia, I've never had a headache about them."
"Once those pirates come to Chris, it's just a hot dish. If you want to eat whatever you want, there's nothing to worry about."
"The ones that really give me a headache now are those so-called people..."
"One of my own~?" Faced with Katerina's words, Celia's eyes suddenly widened. At this moment, various thoughts about traitors and betrayers rushed into her mind.
However, before Celia asked something, Katerina, who had already seen the reason, said angrily,
"Don't think too much, I didn't mean that. If there are still people in Chris who dare to challenge me, then I'm too failed."
"I'm talking about my own people, but it's actually about the system......"
Institutional issues?
At this moment, listening to the new vocabulary that suddenly came out of Katerina's mouth, Celia, who was planning to clear the girl of the traitor, suddenly looked dazed, apparently not knowing what was going on.
Regarding this, Katerina just curled her lips, and had no intention of explaining, because there are some things that are really not suitable for explaining too clearly......
Chapter 131 127. The land issue and the upcoming war
In the middle of the night, Avril Lavigne was called into Katerina's room... Well, it seems a bit weird to say this, but it is true.
After arranging Celia's future, Celia has a lot of things to do next, and she can't stay by Katerina's side, so Avril Lavigne took Celia's class ahead of schedule and became Katerina's close friend maid.
For this sudden transfer of personnel, although she was explained by the former Princess Hill in advance, and she was mentally prepared, Avril was still a little caught off guard.
However, after all, she is a woman who has a firm foothold in the palace where people's hearts are deep. Although she was a little surprised by this change, Avril still adjusted her mood quickly, and then put down the affairs in hand and took office...... ...
"Miss, your coffee~"
At this moment, the same words sounded again in Katerina's study, but this time, the speaker was no longer Celia.
After hearing the sound, she glanced at Avril Lavigne who had just taken office, and under the gaze of the other party's blue eyes, Katerina nodded a little restrained.
Although she had already been mentally prepared, but Celia's sudden departure, coupled with the sudden addition of a stranger in her private space, made the girl feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
Fortunately, this feeling did not affect Katerina's work efficiency. After a simple response, the girl put herself into work again.
On the other side, looking at Katerina who was scribbling in front of the desk, and Avril standing by the side, she instinctively glanced at the cup of coffee that the girl casually placed beside her but hadn't touched at all, and then, this A beautiful woman with almost impeccable manners lowered her fair and pretty face slightly, hiding in the shadows that the candlelight could not reach.
Even though she had made good psychological preparations before coming here, Avril still felt a little uncomfortable in the face of the distrust subconsciously exposed by Katerina's actions.
However, Avril did not intend to admit defeat. Whether it was for the arrogance in her bones or for the slightest desire hidden deep in her heart, Avril hoped that she could gain Katerina's trust.
Of course, Avril also knows that, judging from Katerina's consistent performance, the girl is a very humane lord. The female knight named Celia has accompanied the girl through the most dangerous moments time and time again. No one can replace feelings, no matter what, it is impossible for me to replace Celia's position in the girl's heart,
However, this does not mean that there is no chance. Avril Lavigne did not intend to become the second Celia. She has her own style of acting and does not need to imitate anyone.
As an excellent former royal lady, Avril Lavigne has a wealth of experience on how to gain the trust of her lord. On this point, King Nok who was poisoned can testify.
The first step in gaining the trust of the lord is to understand what kind of person your lord is.
So, what kind of person is Katerina?
At this moment, after slightly raising her head and glancing at the girl who was still working hard to review the documents, Avril Lavigne's eyes flashed an incomprehensible brilliance. Suddenly, an uncontrollable heat flowed in her heart.
And after barely suppressing the weird feeling in her heart, Avril combined the information she had obtained before to conduct some analysis, and then, she quickly formed a vague impression in her heart...... ...
Katerina Aldan, the illegitimate daughter of the Aldan family, has been living in the slums because she was abandoned by the family since she was a child. However, it is also because of that time that the hard life made the girl develop a look like a man. fortitude character.
Unlike most aristocratic women, no matter what happens, Katerina never chooses soft words to ask for help, she only finds ways to solve problems by herself, and she can often solve problems.
In addition, because she understands the hardships of the people and the hardships of the world, Katerina never embarrasses the people around her.
It can be said that Katerina is definitely a good lord that all servants dream of. Working with her not only has high salary and good benefits, but also saves a lot of trouble. You hardly have to worry about anything other than your job.
After careful thinking about how to gain the trust of the lord, Avril quickly had an idea. Now, she only needs one chance...
"Selia, go get me..."
Not long after, Avril Lavigne took the opportunity to find the door. At this moment, after hearing the call from her ear, before Katerina could say anything for her mistake, Avril Lavigne suddenly raised her head and said Actively opened the mouth and said,
"Miss, do you want the distribution map of the various noble territories of Chris?"
"Huh~?" Hearing Avril's sudden inquiry, Katerina, who wanted to apologize for calling her wrong name, blinked her eyes in amazement, and then asked with raised brows,
"How did you know?"
Facing Katerina's questioning question, Avril smiled calmly,
"Miss Reply, I used to work in the clerical office and was mainly responsible for sorting documents. I have read the contents of many documents, so I can roughly guess the results."
"The clerical office?"
At this moment, listening to Avril Lavigne's answer, the doubt in Katerina's eyes did not dissipate. Of course, the girl knew that Avril Lavigne had worked in the clerical office, but the documents classified by the clerical office basically did not contain any important documents. It stands to reason , should not be evidence.
