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

In fact, Katerina did not guess wrong. Andy, who had just arrived, took a deep look at his lord's body, and suddenly walked towards the girl's position.

When the distance between the two sides was about three meters, the survivor of the King of Burros tore off the scimitar hanging from his waist, and then slowly knelt down under Celia's vigilant eyes. On the ground, at the same time, he raised the scimitar in his hand above his head, and at the next moment, an extremely suppressed shout sounded in the square,

"Your Majesty, Andy Kerba, by the will of His Majesty Saxon, I would like to offer my loyalty to Your Majesty the Grand Duchess!"

After listening to Andy's speech, Katerina did not respond directly, but looked over Andy's shoulder and quietly looked in the direction of the Bullrose camp.

At this moment, the girl's eyes seemed to be carrying a mighty force. When her gaze fell on the Burros camp, all the Burros people reacted quickly.

First the first floor, then the second floor... At this moment, the Burros people are like wheat blown by the wind in the field, and everyone kneels in rows towards the girl .

And when the last Burros fell to his knees, there was no one standing in the entire Burros camp. Only then did Katerina turn her eyes back to Andy Dao.

Then, the girl stepped forward, slowly stretched out her arms, and took the scimitar from Andy's hand. After feeling that his hand was empty, Andy immediately put his hands on the ground in the most solemn posture, with his head drooping, while shouting,

"Sir, Andy Kerba......"

"See, Her Majesty!"

At this moment, Andy's shout seemed to turn on an invisible switch, and all the Burros people put on the same posture as Andy almost at the same time, and immediately after that, tens of thousands of Burros The Ross people shouted in unison, as if there was only one voice left in the world......

"See, Her Majesty—!"

ps: This is the end of the first chapter

Chapter 147 143. A Funeral

The next day, at the Central Cathedral in Chris, a grand funeral was being held.

This is a rather weird funeral. It is weird because in this funeral, two completely different funeral modes are running at the same time. One is the traditional funeral mode of the mainland countries hosted by the church, while the other is It is hosted by the sea wizard, a relatively small ocean funeral mode.

The reason for this strange situation is that the host of this funeral is very special. He is the king of Burrose---Saxon Alva.

Not long ago, the king lost to Chris led by Katerina in the war, and according to normal circumstances, if the victor of the war wants to hold a funeral for the defeated enemy, he should follow his own funeral custom to carry out.

But the problem now is that before his death, the king of Saxony "lost" his kingship to Catalina, and now Catalina is theoretically the master of Chris and Boulros kingdoms at the same time.

In this way, things will be a little troublesome.

You must know that the war has just ended, and holding a funeral for the dead Saxon king is itself a political act, and its purpose is to appease the Burros people who surrendered to Katerina and win their hearts.

Under such circumstances, the mode of holding the funeral itself is sending a clear political signal to everyone. If it is not considered and handled carefully, it is likely to bury hidden dangers in the future.

So, after careful consideration, Katerina finally decided to combine the funeral patterns of Boulrose and Chris to form a brand new funeral pattern.

This approach seems a little mild, but it is currently the best way Katerina can think of.

No way, the current Katerina is not only the ruler of the Chris interest group, but she is also the legal queen of the Burros people. If the bowl of water cannot be leveled at the beginning, then wait for the future girl to take charge of Burros After the kingdom, there is a high probability that the members of her forces will have internal conflicts, which is something the girl never wants to see.

So, there is the current set of weird funeral patterns.

At this moment, under the statue in the cathedral, the dead King of Saxony is lying in a coffin. His broken body has been repaired, and he is also wearing clothes that match his status as a king. It has been meticulously groomed by the clergy. If it wasn't for the lack of blood on his face and no bullying on his chest, at first glance he would have thought that the king was just asleep.

There were six nuns standing around the coffin. These nuns in black nun clothes closed their eyes tightly at this time, their heads were slightly lowered, their palms were crossed, the thumb of their left hand rested on the thumb of their right hand, and they made a prayer gesture. Looks pretty devout.

And directly below the statue, an old man dressed as a bishop was holding the divine tome in one hand and waving the other hand in the air. At the same time, he was muttering something loudly in a cadenced tone. In the entire cathedral, only his voice was constantly echoing. .

At the same time, in the hall of the cathedral, there were two groups of people sitting on the left and right sides. On one side were the nobles of Chris, and on the other side were the upper-middle-class figures of Burrose.

At this moment, the nobles of Chris generally look serious, but for some reason, they always give people a rather fake feeling, while the Burros people are much more normal. Facing the current funeral, their demeanor Really sad and bewildered.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the chanting echoing in the cathedral stopped, and the archbishop standing under the statue stopped his voice and gestures.

If it is according to the traditional funeral mode of the continental countries, the next link is to bury the remains of the Saxon king in the tomb.

However, this is a special funeral, and the whole process is divided into two parts, the first half and the second half.

The part that is currently going on follows the content of the traditional funeral mode in mainland China. It belongs to the first half of the funeral, and then it is the turn of the second half of the funeral.

A moment later, following the archbishop's order, several clergymen stepped forward and lifted the coffin on which the Saxon king's body was lying, and then saw them walking all the way to the outside of the cathedral.

After the clergy arrived at the gate, the Chris nobles who were sitting in the guest seats, as well as the Burros people, stood up one after another, and then walked towards the gate of the cathedral together under the guidance of the nearby nuns.

After everyone walked out of the cathedral, the gate of the cathedral was quickly closed, and all the clergy did not come out. As for the coffin of the King of Saxony, it was handed over to a group of sea wizards who looked extremely strangely dressed.

After receiving the coffin of the King of Saxony, the sea wizards carried the coffin onto a gorgeous carriage, and then drove the carriage slowly towards the pier.

After seeing Wizard Hai's actions, all the participants in the funeral quietly followed behind them. No one rode in a cart, and everyone walked forward. Since Wizard Sea's carriage was not fast, people could Follow up easily.

From the cathedral to the pier, it normally takes three hours to walk, but it actually took a full four and a half hours.Such a long distance, the Burros side is okay, because most of these people are military personnel, this distance is not a big deal, but for the pampered Chris nobles on weekdays, this journey is really a bit of a grind people.

For four and a half hours, no one had a drop of water, and they had to maintain their posture when they moved forward. The nobles walked quite hard, but even so, these people still gritted their teeth and made it through. No one complained or tired, or even complained. No.

The reason is very simple. As Katerina legally obtained the ruling power of the Burros Kingdom, all the nobles of Chris knew very well what the funeral in front of them meant to Chris and what it meant to themselves.

Under the temptation of huge benefits, even if there are mountains of swords and flames ahead, the nobles of Chris will rush forward without hesitation, so there is this scene in front of them.

Finally, after four and a half hours of trekking, the funeral procession finally arrived at the pier area, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. According to the funeral mode of the Burros people, people don't need to continue to be nervous Seriously, it's okay to relax a little bit.

However, before everyone had a good rest, a figure suddenly appeared, and everyone subconsciously corrected their posture.

It was Katharina who came. The girl did not show up at the cathedral before. It was because she was in charge of presiding over the last and most important part of the funeral. Now that the body of the King of Saxony has arrived at the pier, the next round It's time for the girl to take over.

After seeing Katerina's appearance, the sea wizards collectively bowed deeply to the girl, and then lifted the coffin of the King of Saxony off the carriage and placed it in an open place.

As the coffin fell to the ground, four huge bonfires suddenly ignited around it, and the flames shot straight into the sky. At the same time as the flames ignited, the sea wizards around the coffin danced strangely and sang. Played a song of unknown meaning.

At this moment, the strange costumes worn by the sea wizards were constantly changing into various shapes with their movements, and it didn't look funny, but added a bit of solemnity to the atmosphere here.

And directly opposite the coffin, Katerina in full attire lowered her head slightly, closed her eyes slightly, and folded her hands on her chest, as if she was mourning.Following the girl's movements, the surrounding crowd suddenly became extremely quiet, only the strange singing of the sea wizards echoed faintly.

I don't know how long it took, the sky gradually darkened, the sun was about to set from the sea level, and only half of the face was still quietly peeping at the world.

At this time, a very dazzling star suddenly appeared in the sky that had not yet completely darkened. The moment they saw the star, all the sea wizards stopped their movements at the same time, and then held high together. They shouted something loudly towards the sky with their hands, and when they finished all this, the funeral finally came to the final step........ put the body of the dead into the sea.

That's right, the burial method of the Burros people belongs to sea burial.

Different from the burials in mainland countries, the people of Burros Kingdom are in a state of no fixed place most of the time because they are floating on the sea all the year round, so they naturally evolved the tradition of sea burial.

However, sea burials are not exclusive to the Burros Kingdom. In fact, the custom of sea burials existed long before the birth of Burross, and even people in the coastal areas of the mainland follow the tradition of sea burials.

However, the birth of the Burros Kingdom made sea burials "standardized". In order to integrate and unify the chaotic and primitive religions that were spread on the ocean at that time, the first king of Burros designed a set of ideas for his own people. concept, and the standardized sea burial ceremony is part of it.

According to the concept designed by the first Boulros Kingdom, the sea is the beginning of everything and the end of everything. Life is born from the sea, grows on the sea, and should naturally return to the sea after death.

At this moment, the last king of the Alva family will also follow this concept and draw a final rest for the chapters of his existence and the world.

After a while, several sea wizards slowly gathered in front of the coffin of the King of Saxony. After praying to the king's body for a while, they bent down and lifted the body above their heads.

Immediately afterwards, I saw these sea wizards holding the king's body and walking slowly towards a small boat not far away. Soon, the king's body was put into the boat, and the sea wizards also retreated. .

And just after the sea wizards left, Katerina's figure quietly appeared in front of the boat. Next, she will be in charge of the last step of the funeral ceremony... pushing the boat into the sea .

This link is very important. It can even be said that the whole ceremony is held for this last step.

Originally, according to the tradition of the Burros people, this last step would be done by blood relatives or close friends of the funeral host, but now, this step has been given a new meaning, the person who sent the Saxony king for the last journey will be his kingship successor.

Finally, the last step began. Accompanied by the singing of the sea wizards, Katerina put her hand on the stern of the boat, and then saw the girl gently push the boat to the front of a slope, and then There was only a "crash", and the hull was already submerged in the water.

However, the matter is not over yet. The boat carrying the king's body has not yet entered the sea, but is only in a dug water tank, and there is still a last mile to go before entering the sea.

The next moment, another burst of "crashing" sound of water rang in people's ears, and when they looked over again, Katerina had already walked into the tank with the floating boat.

The water in the tank was not deep, only reaching to Katerina's thighs. After getting used to the resistance of the water, Katerina pushed the boat and continued to move forward. It didn't take long for the boat to come to the end of the tank.

After taking a last look at the king's body lying on the boat, Katerina breathed out a deep breath, and then saw her exert a slight force on her arm, and the boat moved at an extremely fast speed.Drive toward the depths of the sea.

Looking at the boat going away, Katerina stood motionless in the water, letting the waves wash over her body, until the night engulfed everything, the girl finally turned around, and then walked all the way back along the sink.

And the moment Katerina stepped on the slope and stepped on the land again, all the people around, whether they were Chriss or Burross, knelt down towards the girl almost at the same time, and then, there was a burst of high-pitched Calling, resounding under the sky of the pier......

"See Her Majesty!"

Hearing the call from her ear, Katerina looked around in silence, and then, the girl's eyes fell on some of Burrose's senior officials.

At this moment, it seems that because of the special funeral at the moment, these high-ranking Burroses looked at Katerina without the resentment and unwillingness they had when they were forced to surrender yesterday, although there was still some scrutiny and suspicion, But there is no doubt that they have accepted the fact that the kingdom of Burros is about to welcome a queen.

Seeing this, Katerina, who suddenly felt a little unreal, was in a trance. Then, the girl instinctively turned her head and glanced towards the sea, only to see that the boat carrying the king's body had already disappeared into the night. .

After a long time, with a soft sigh, Katerina turned her head again and looked at the crowd kneeling in front of her. The girl took a deep breath, and then she raised her head high, without any hesitation in her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a loud voice echoed in everyone's ears......

"My lords, the old era is over!"

"Now, please welcome a brand new future with me!"

Chapter 148 144. Arrangements after the war

When the body of the King of Saxony disappeared in the depths of the vast ocean, the old era came to an end, and at the same time, a new era was ringing the morning bell.

However, as the usher of a new era, Katerina did not feel happy at all, but was extremely irritable. The reason is very simple. With the victory of the war, the complete surrender of the Burros people, and the establishment of her own legal principles of kingship, the girl must The affairs to be dealt with suddenly become endless.

At present, not only does Katerina take care of Chris' affairs, but it is also the girl's turn to worry about the affairs of Burros Kingdom. Coupled with a series of troublesome things that need to be dealt with after the war, she is clearly the winner of the war. However, the workload of the girls has become even greater before the war.

At this moment, a whole week had passed since the day of the funeral of the King of Saxony, but the documents on Katerina's desk were still piled up like a mountain, and there was a tendency to pile up further, and it was impossible to finish them.

If it was an ordinary matter, Katerina could still leave it to the nobles under her command to let them take care of it, but the matters before the girl were all important matters that she could not avoid and had to do by herself.

For example, the issue of the resettlement of Burros' troops, the diplomatic issues of Chris after the victory of the war, and the issue of the ownership of Chris Port after Katerina became king, all of which will involve a series of extremely cumbersome and troublesome issues. The affairs must be handled by Katerina herself, and no one else can help.

At this moment, looking at the pile of documents piled up like a hill in front of her, Katerina suddenly understood why those ancient emperors who worked hard and cared for the people in her previous life always died early...... ...It is estimated that they are all exhausted.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

Just as Katerina was anxiously looking at the pile of documents in front of her, there was a sudden knock on the office door, and then, the voice of the maid Avril rang outside the door......

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency Andy is here to meet you~"

Hearing Avril's voice, Katerina couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and then, after throwing away the documents in her hand, the girl responded lightly, and then, she saw Avril pushing the door and entering, behind her Followed by a man with a sinister face.

After entering the door, Avril went straight to Katerina, and then stood quietly aside, while the man with a dark face stood opposite the girl, and bowed respectfully,

"Sir, Andy Kerba, see Your Majesty."

On the other side, looking at the man in front of her, after squinting her eyes, Katerina said leisurely,
