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

At this moment, facing Katerina's ridicule, Duke Aldan, who was wearing a set of peasant clothes, was not angry after hearing the words, but after looking at the girl with the crown in front of him, he smiled softly,

"But your appearance has changed a lot. In just two years, you have reached the level that everyone must look up to."

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that you would be able to make it this far by yourself. I have to admit, Katerina, you really deserve to be my best daughter~"

"Don't!" Hearing Duke Aldan's praise, Katerina shook her hand violently, as if she had encountered something dirty, and responded with a disgusted expression on her face.

"The status of 'your daughter' has never been something worthy of praise for me......"

At this point, Katerina turned her head aside, and while looking at the environment here, she asked in a calm tone,

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, it's a complete waste of my time."

"Tell me, where is my mother's cemetery? Since you used this trick to lure me here, don't hide it anymore."

At this moment, facing Katerina's questioning, Duke Aldan was slightly taken aback. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, after sighing softly, he gently waved to the girl.

"Come with me, your mother has been waiting for you for a long time......"

After saying that, Duke Aldan turned around and walked towards a certain direction, and behind him, Katerina narrowed her eyes a little, and then followed quietly.

After walking hundreds of steps, the two of them appeared at the back of the house. There was a small garden there. The garden was well-tended and full of precious flowers. But in the center of the garden, it was very abrupt. There stands a small tomb.

The two soon came to the tomb. After glancing at the epitaph engraved on the tombstone, they ignored the Duke of Aldan at the side. Katerina bowed down with a heavy expression, and placed a bouquet of white flowers on the grave. In front of the tombstone, afterward, the girl half-kneeled, her eyes closed, her hands clasped together in prayer, she looked like a devout nun.

"If the epitaph on the tombstone is not false, then my mother was just 21 years old before she died?"

"Tell me, how did she die?"

After a long silence, a cold inquiry suddenly broke the silence here. The person who spoke was Katerina who opened her eyes again. At this moment, the girl was standing quietly in front of the tombstone, Caressing the cold tombstone with one hand, and then questioning someone without looking back,

On the other side, Duke Aldan, who had been silent all this time when he suddenly heard his daughter's questioning, looked like a sinner who had committed a heinous mistake, and finally ushered in the avenger who wanted to attack him. After such a quiet silence for a while, the powerful grand duke, like an old man who is dying, sighed faintly and said,

"Ah~~"

"I knew you would ask this a long time ago~ Don't worry, Katerina, I will tell you everything, but it may take some time, please be patient, because...... …”

"It's a very long story~~"

ps: I feel much better today, I will work hard tonight and try to write another chapter

Chapter 153 149. The Duke's Memory Corridor---【First Sight】

Back to that summer night more than 20 years ago, the air that had been scorched by the scorching sun in the daytime was gradually cooling down in the night, but it still refused to dissipate the heat, which made people feel extremely incomparable. boring.

And at this time when it was difficult to fall asleep, the first heir of the Aldan family—Liannis Aldan, was clutching the wound on his shoulder and messing around in a remote alley. Running away, behind him, several killers were frantically chasing his figure.

【Careless......】

Feeling the footsteps getting closer and closer to him, Leannis reviewed himself with a gloomy face. He vowed that if he was given another chance, he would be more cautious in the layout and would never give the enemy any more chances.

But it is a pity that the self-examination at this time has no effect on the current urgent situation, and Lyonis has to face the fact that the killer is approaching.

Soon, as the road ahead turned into a dead end, Leannis had no way to escape, and when the heir to the duke's mansion was wielding his long sword to make a final blow, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that , in the window of a certain house not far away, a gap was quietly opened at some time, and it seemed that someone was standing behind the window and watching.

Seeing this scene, Leannis, who was overjoyed immediately, couldn't care less, he rushed straight towards the window, and before the owner of the house could react, he broke in through the window unceremoniously.

After breaking into the room, Leannis did two things immediately. The first thing was to quickly close the window, and the second thing was to firmly control the owner's mouth with his palm to prevent the other party from yelling. sound.

In fact, in the beginning, in order to avoid accidents, after breaking into the room, Leannis planned to kill the owner of the house directly. However, the smooth and tender touch from the palm of his hand, which was obviously not male, made him subconsciously feel sorry for himself. There was some hesitation in the decision.

And at the next moment, Leannis paid the price for his hesitation, a burst of severe pain suddenly came from his crotch, which made him instinctively let go of the owner of the house, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground. on the ground and was quickly picked up by the owner of the house.

In just a split second, the offensive and defensive momentum shifted.

【Careless......】

This is the second self-examination of Leonis today. This is something that has never happened before. Leannis has always been an extremely cautious person. Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for him to make two major mistakes in a short period of time. .

But today, it seemed that the whole world was against Lyonis, and he had to sink deeper and deeper into the predicament because of his own mistakes.

Silently swearing in his heart that he must seek "justice" from the person who beat him down three times, and then clutching his crotch to endure the pain, Leannis, who had already snatched his long sword, pointed the blade at him in the dark. The owner of his own house, he tried his best to maintain his appearance and pretend to be polite,

"Miss, please calm down, I am not malicious~"

"As you said, I am a businessman. I am being chased and killed because of some business problems. I just want to hide for a while......"

"But you bastard never asked my opinion at all!" The next moment, before Lennis finished speaking, the owner of the house was already shouting angrily.

As for this, Lioness just raised his eyebrows slightly, and then continued to comfort him in a harmonious voice,

"I'm very sorry, miss. I didn't mean to break in, but I was forced to have nowhere to go. Please forgive me."

"Forgive~?" Hearing Leannis's light apology, the voice of the woman opposite became even more irritable.

"Damn it, how do you ask me to forgive you?"

"Obviously it's your own business, but you lured those guys to my house, they will definitely silence me!"

"Also, you are not a good person, you should have thought about killing people just now!"

At this moment, listening to the woman's irritable voice, Leannis lowered his eyes slightly, because he found that the woman opposite him turned out to be a guy with a brain, which made Leannis feel a little tricky. In fact, he really planned to silence her.

The person who is chasing and killing Ryanis is an internal member of the Aldan family. This matter involves some secrets of the Aldan family, which must not be exposed to outsiders. After the matter is over, Lionnis will definitely find a way to seal it. The mouths of all those who know.

Of course, keeping your mouth shut doesn't mean you have to kill someone. If the opponent's strength or influence is strong enough, Leannis will also choose to export benefits.However, it was obvious that the owner of the house was just an ordinary commoner, and he was not qualified to communicate with the heir of a great nobleman, Leannis, on an equal footing. Therefore, waiting for the other party could only be the simplest way to deal with it.

Originally, in Lyonis' perception, civilians were basically idiots, and they could be dealt with easily, but the sudden wisdom shown by the woman across the street forced him to change his previous view of civilians.

However, the degree of this change was very slight, and in just a short moment, Lyonis thought of a way to temporarily stabilize the other party's emotions......

"Ten gold coins!"

Looking at the increasingly irritable woman in front of him, Leannis suddenly raised a finger, then chuckled and said,

"After the matter is over, I will pay you ten gold coins as compensation. What do you think?"

"Huh?!" Suddenly hearing what Leonis said, the woman opposite subconsciously exclaimed,

"Are you serious?"

"Of course!" Listening to the disbelief in the woman's tone, and realizing that the other party's attitude had begun to change, Leannis nodded decisively and said,

"I can swear to the gods, as long as you can help me tide over the difficulties, I will definitely pay you ten gold coins as a reward."

Hearing what Leonis said, the woman finally put away her hostility a little bit, but soon, she saw her tentatively stretching out two fingers, and said tentatively,

"I, I can help you, but ten gold coins is too little, and the risk I have to take is too great, so, at least...you have to give me at least twenty gold coins!"

Regarding the woman's bargaining, Leannis raised his brows slightly, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he agreed indifferently.

"No problem, just do as you say."

Twenty gold coins is not a small amount, even for the heir of the duke's mansion, Leannis, twenty gold coins are not pocket money that can be thrown away casually, but Leannis did not try to bargain with the woman, because In his mind, these twenty gold coins would be the woman's life money.

On the other side, the woman who was completely unaware of what Lennis was thinking, instinctively couldn't believe it when she heard that Lennis agreed to her request so easily, but just when she was about to continue to test, a sudden sound came from outside the window. There was a movement.

It's the chaser!The other party is approaching him!

At this moment, the two people in the house realized this almost at the same time, and Leannis quickly lowered his eyes. For him, the most dangerous moment has come, and just when he was about to do something, stood The woman opposite him made a move first.

"Squat down quickly, the shadow will reveal your position!"

Hearing the instructions from his ears, Leannis subconsciously squatted down, but soon, he frowned and said,

"It's useless. I was injured when I came here. There was no time to cover it up on the way. They can find it through the blood. If they can't get rid of them, they will find out my existence sooner or later."

"It's okay, I have a way to deal with them."

Seeing this, Lennis was instinctively stunned, but just when he subconsciously wanted to ask the other party about the source of his confidence, he saw the woman suddenly open the window, and rushed shouted out the window,

"Wang! Wang! Wang!"

These canine howls were imitated by the woman, if it wasn't right in front of her eyes, it would be hard for Leonis to believe that someone could learn how to bark like a dog.

And what Leannis didn't expect was that the woman's dog barking was not only learned so easily, but after the woman's bark fell, it seemed as if some strange switch was turned on, and the dogs in the entire area around All the animals barked loudly, and for a while, countless dogs barked one after another.

Seeing this scene, Lyonis quickly realized the woman's plan, and then gave a secret praise in his heart.The woman's reaction in front of her was really appropriate. Although those pursuers were formidable, they couldn't see the light at all. Such a large-scale movement would definitely scare them away.

And that was indeed the case. When countless dogs barking crazily sounded in the dark night, the figures outside the window quickly left, leaving only an empty street.

After a while, through the gap of the window, it was confirmed that the pursuer had retreated. When Leannis looked back in the direction of the woman, he suddenly felt that the woman looked much more pleasing to the eye than before. This comfortable feeling made him decide to wait After the matter is over, try to find a way to give the person in front of you a painless death.

"Hey, how's the situation? Got it?"

Just when Leannis was thinking about something silently in his heart, there was a burst of inquiry in his ears. After hearing the inquiry, Leannis turned his head and responded with a smile,

"Well, they have already left, and they should not come back in a short time."

"Is that so..." The woman on the opposite side nodded in response to Lyonis' answer, and then asked suspiciously,

"Then why are you still at my house? Shouldn't you run away quickly?"

"Miss, I'm very sorry..." Faced with the woman's question, Leannis was taken aback for a moment, then calmly found a place to sit down, and smiled softly road,

"I'm afraid I'll have to stay with you for a while."

"Why, hasn't the matter been resolved?!" Hearing what Leonis said, the woman opposite immediately seemed unhappy.

"Could it be that you want to rely on me because you have no money? Don't forget, you have sworn to the gods!"

"Don't be nervous." Seeing the emotion of the person opposite became agitated again, Leannis waved his hands calmly and said,

"Miss, I have no intention of reneging on the debt. Please rest assured that the money I promised to you will definitely be handed over to you. It's just that the current situation is special, and I have to stay for a while."

At this point, after hearing the suddenly rapid breathing on the opposite side, Leannis took the lead and continued,

"In addition, I think you know well, miss, that twenty gold coins is not a small amount. Even if I want to get them all together, it will not happen in a short while. You must give me some time to prepare."

"...But I feel like you're lying to me." Regarding what Leonis said, after a moment of silence, the woman on the opposite side replied in a low voice, revealing a hint of resignation and dissatisfaction in her tone. be on guard.

Facing the woman's reaction, Leonis chuckled, and then he continued to defend himself very patiently,

"Miss, don't worry, I have always been a person who keeps my promises, and what I promise will definitely be done."

"But I believe you also understand that there is always a process for everything."

"Then......" Faced with Leannis's words, there seemed to be no room for criticism. The woman shrank back in the dark, and then asked tremblingly,

"Are you going to stay at my house tonight?"

"First of all, I only have one bed in my house, and I will never give it up to you!"
