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

"Sorry, Miss Martha, because of the emergency just now, I had to do this."

"Don't worry, I will definitely make it up to you."

Facing the serious-looking Lioness, Martha opened her mouth full of shame and anger, as if she wanted to curse something, but in the end, she just waved her hand fiercely and said,

"Forget it, I will treat it as being bitten by a dog."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll send you out now, after you get out, you hurry up and give me the money, and then we'll settle the matter!"

After all, Martha left without looking back. On the other side, looking at the back of Martha leaving in a huff, Leannis, who was thinking about something, first narrowed his eyes slightly, and then quickly followed go up.

In the following journey, there were no accidents again. Under the leadership of Martha, the two quickly found a secret door, and then left the Liuying Pavilion through the passage behind the secret door.

Not long after going out, Lennis returned to the street, and soon ran into his subordinates who were searching for his traces. When the two parties completed the meeting, it meant that Lennis was basically out of danger. At the same time, it also meant that Lennis and Martha It's time to part.

In fact, at the beginning, Lioness wanted to follow his own wishes and make a good arrangement for Martha. However, his invitation was rejected by Martha. Lioness, who really couldn't beat Martha, could only promise to follow up. After the compensation is bound to be sent to her home, the woman is allowed to leave.

On the other side, Martha, who got the promise, walked very simply. Judging by her posture, it seemed that she didn't want to have anything to do with Leannis at all.

With such a ruthless attitude, Leannis couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed, but in the end, Leannis didn't do anything, he just stood there quietly, watching Martha's back being swallowed by the rolling crowd... ...................

.................................................

In the middle of the night that day, a grand banquet was held in the Duke of Aldan's mansion, and celebrities and nobles from all walks of life came to the banquet, but when the banquet was in full swing, as the host of the banquet, Leannis was leaning on the bed alone. On the windowsill on the second floor.

At this moment, looking at the grand scene of people coming and going in the living room with the light of the magic lamp, Leannis suddenly felt very irritable in his heart. This emotion was so intense that he wished to drive everyone away. Then stay alone quietly.

In fact, before today, Leannis was looking forward to this banquet very much, because the purpose of holding this banquet was to celebrate that he had truly secured his position as the heir of the Aldan family.

That's right, just today, Leannis successfully defeated all the competitors, and became the successor of the current Duke of Aldan in a true sense, as well as the next generation head of the Aldan family.

For Leannis, this banquet is not only an honor, but also a symbol that from today on, he can live safely and securely as the heir!

As for why you say that, it involves an ancient tradition of the Aldan family that has lasted for nearly a thousand years......

ps: The duke’s love story is basically finished, and the next chapter will speed up. After explaining the internal conflicts of the Aldan family clearly, the memory chapter will end, and the protagonist will prepare to change the map.

Chapter 156 152. The Duke's Memory Corridor---[Monster] (End)

As we all know, how to allocate limited resources has always been the main problem that the entire human society has to face.

In the farming era with backward productivity, the constant amount of land limited the total resources of the entire human society. When the total population of a country increases to a certain level, it will inevitably face involution after class solidification.

And it's not just the commoners who will involve, the nobles who occupy more resources will also involve, and even more introverted than the commoners.

Since involution, a vicious result caused by class solidification, will inevitably cause huge damage to individuals, collectives, and even the entire society. In order to maintain its own stability, human society will spontaneously form various mechanisms to solve involution .

In the current era, because civilians have almost no human rights to speak of, infighting among civilians is often easily resolved. In most cases, when rulers find that domestic conflicts have become irreconcilable, the most common choice is to make , It is to launch a war to plunder the resources of other countries, and by the way, use the hand of war to consume the surplus population in the country.

Of course, there are also stupid rulers who choose to reduce the population by themselves, and their end is often not good.

As for the nobles, there are some troubles. Unless it is a real war to destroy the country, the population of the nobles is difficult to consume. In addition, the enfeoffment system makes the supreme ruler have no right to intervene in the family affairs of the nobles. Under such circumstances, facing involution The nobles can only find a solution by themselves.

At present, the solution commonly adopted by various noble families is the method of "strong stems and weak branches", that is, to formulate strict rules, comprehensively strengthen the strength of the direct line blood, and limit the development of branches, and finally make all the resources of the family revolve around the direct line. The blood runs, and the offshoots will gradually fall to the common people.

This solution can effectively solve the resource allocation problem of the nobles themselves, but there is a very obvious disadvantage, because the development of the branch is restricted in all aspects. Once there is any accident in the blood of the direct line, or the members of the direct line cannot support the glory of the family, Then the whole family will usher in the catastrophe of overthrow.

Some shrewd nobles realized the flaws of this plan, and in order to ensure the continuation of their families through the ages, they began to seek other solutions.

Among them, the solution chosen by the Aldan family is quite extreme. They did not hesitate to give up the solution of "strong stems and weak branches" to avoid the main contradiction, but chose the "law of the jungle" to make involution completely clear. 】.

To put it simply, after discovering that the problem of involution was inevitable, the Aldan family decided to initiate involution like a dynamite pack, so that the destructive power it produced would always be in a relatively controllable state without affecting the overall situation.

As for the specific operation, it is to cultivate the heirs of the family in the style of raising Gu. There is no dispute within the family. Eligible to inherit all the rights of the Aldan family.

At the same time, in order to prevent the struggle between the heirs from being too fierce, which would affect the overall situation of the family, or the elders of some heirs who did not abide by the rules would come down to help in person, the Aldan family has set up an elders' association, which is responsible for controlling the development of the situation at any time. until the final heir is chosen.

Although this solution is extremely cruel, it is indeed very effective in solving the problem of involution. At the same time, there are basically no weak members of the family members who survived the brutal struggle, so there is no need to worry about the situation of no successors in the family.

It is precisely because of this cruel solution that the Aldan family has achieved immortal glory in a true sense. For hundreds of years, the Aldan family has always occupied the core ruling layer of the Kingdom of Florida, and the family status is still standing.

Lyonis grew up under this kind of family education. As the son of the contemporary Duke of Aldan, he has undergone a series of rigorous training since he can remember. The war officially began, and nearly ten years have passed by now.

In the past ten years, Leannis, who has been regarded as the primary target by various heirs, has been subjected to countless swords and tricks and conspiracy.

It stands to reason that after enduring so much pain, Leannis, who has finally secured his position as the heir, should have been overjoyed at the banquet that confirmed his identity, but at this moment, there was only emptiness in his heart. The compliments and congratulations that echoed in his ears made him more and more irritable the more he listened.

In the end, this strong negative emotion drove Lyonis to escape from the banquet.Standing on the balcony, he raised his head and looked at the boundless night sky full of stars above his head. With a deep sense of oppression in his heart, he subconsciously connected the stars together. Finally, for some reason, countless stars gathered into a picture. A delicate face......that's what Martha looks like.

After "seeing" the face made of stars, a strong impulse suddenly surged in Lyannis's heart, he wanted to see Martha again!

This emotion was so strong that Lioness could not fall asleep throughout the second half of the night. Finally, after struggling until the next morning, Lioness went to Martha's house again without hesitation.

When the two met again, Lioness found that Martha's attitude was very enthusiastic, but before he was happy about it, he saw the other party unceremoniously extended his hand... ...Obviously, the woman in front of her was thinking about money, not him.

This kind of cognition made the little peacock in Leannis's heart, which had just raised its head, become sluggish all of a sudden.

But soon, Lioness restrained his emotions, and then greeted Martha politely. As for the compensation that the other party talked about, although the current Lioness can already mobilize a thousand gold coins at will for private use , but at this time, he chose to lie to the woman in front of him without hesitation, claiming that he was temporarily incapable of delivering.

Lioness has not forgotten the "dream" that Martha once mentioned. He is almost sure that if he really gives the money to the other party, the woman in front of him will immediately disappear in front of him forever. This is something that Lioness never wants to see. arrived.

On the other side, after hearing Lynnis's response, Martha, who was still very enthusiastic just now, suddenly became indifferent, with disgust in her eyes, but Lynnis didn't care. After a night of reflection, he has already After recognizing his own intentions, the woman in front of him was like a beam of white moonlight outside the window at night, lighting up the world shrouded in darkness in his heart. This comfort from the soul made him not want to let go no matter what.

As a strong man who defeated all his competitors and secured his position as the duke's heir through blood and dead souls, Leannis not only has an unparalleled strategy, but also has a strong execution ability. After clarifying his goals, these The ability was instantly stimulated.

Although Martha showed an indifferent attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away at this time, under Lynnis' careful planning, the situation was quickly improved. When Lynnis finished his day's visit, Martha's The attitude is no longer so resistant.

In the following time, Leannis carefully constructed a false identity, and then relying on this false identity, he kept taking time to show his presence in front of Martha.

Like a predator eyeing its prey, Leannis was very patient, dismantling Martha's psychological defense bit by bit. Finally, on a harvest festival night, the two parties finally "officially" confirmed the relationship. Afterwards, what should have happened happened. Lioness married Martha under a false identity, and the two officially became husband and wife, and lived a happy and peaceful life for quite a long time.

For Lyonis, the days with Martha are undoubtedly the best time in his life. Although he knows that this beauty is based on a false lie, he always takes chances and feels that As long as I conceal it well enough, this beauty will last forever.

It's a pity that paper can't contain fire after all...

On an unusually ordinary afternoon, when Leonis happily took a gift and went to the small home he and his "wife" had arranged together, the moment he opened the door, what greeted him was not the gentle greeting from his "wife", It was a burst of cold questioning that could almost freeze the soul......

"Carl, why are you lying to me?!"

"You are the son of a noble duke, why do you want to play with the feelings of an ordinary woman like me?!"

At this moment, facing the "wife"'s questioning, Leannis opened his mouth, and in just a moment, he had all kinds of thoughts and excuses in his mind, but when he saw the angry and cold eyes of his "wife", he was very happy. He is eloquent, but he can't say a word.

Afterwards, Martha, who learned the truth from nowhere, expressed without hesitation that she would part ways with Leonis, but this reasonable request was firmly rejected by Leonis.At this time, Lyonis had already regarded Martha as the most important part of his life, no matter what, he was unwilling to let Martha leave him.

Faced with Lioness' stubbornness, Martha also showed a decisive attitude. After the request to break up was rejected, she tried to escape from Morodo City many times. Never give up.

On the other side, faced with Martha's escape again and again, Lioness clearly felt that the rift between the two was getting bigger and bigger. In the end, he, who was extremely afraid of losing his lover, could no longer suppress the emotion in his heart. With negative emotions, his behavior began to become rough, and in the end, he even used iron chains to lock Martha up.

At this point, the two began a sadomasochistic love affair.

However, this sadomasochism suddenly came to a standstill one day, Martha no longer tried to escape, and Lyonis was no longer irritable, and the reason for this scene was very simple...... Martha pregnant.

A sudden arrival of a newborn temporarily ended the war between the two. Under the influence of the child, both Lyonis and Martha began to deliberately avoid disputes, and the relationship between the two showed signs of warming.

And just when Lionnis thought he could save Martha's heart by relying on his children, the hammer of fate suddenly fell, smashing his dream into pieces!

When the time came to the days when Martha was about to give birth, Leannis' father, the contemporary Duke of Aldan, suddenly came to the door.Looking at the expressionless father, Lyonis clearly realized that the other party already knew everything, and when he knelt down on the ground regardless of his dignity, begging his father to fulfill his feelings, the man who was dubbed the Duke of Aldan The man with the title told him very coldly that the Aldan family would never allow their glory to be polluted, and only one of the mother and the child could live!

Facing the multiple-choice question given by Duke Aldan, Leannis didn't know how to answer it, because no matter how he chose this multiple-choice question, it was not the result he wanted!

Martha would never accept the option of losing the child, let alone the fate of becoming a nobleman's plaything. If he chooses to give up the child, it is very likely that he will lose both in the end.

However, he also couldn't make Lyonis give up Martha, that child was the crystallization of his love with Martha, if there was no Martha, what would he do with the child.

All of a sudden, Lyonis was in a dilemma. Fortunately, Duke Aldan did not force him to make a choice on the spot, but gave him time to think about it, as long as he made a choice before the child was born.

After waiting for Duke Aldan to leave, Leannis thought for a long time, and finally, he thought of a solution. He planned to hide the facts from his "wife", and let the child disappear from the world when the child was born, and then told " The wife" and the child are gone, and this is how to solve the problem.

However, what Leonis never expected was that Martha had already made a choice before he acted.

On the day of delivery, Leannis did not wait for the news of the child's disappearance. Instead, he saw Martha lying in a pool of blood, and beside Martha, a baby was quietly looking at the world.

I don't know how long it took, Ryanis, who regained consciousness from despair, rushed all the way back to the Duke's Mansion with the body of his "wife", and then, like a lunatic, he uttered the most ferocious question to the owner of the Duke's Mansion, Ask why the other person is ignoring your choices.

Leannis is not a fool, he has arranged a lot of people around his "wife". Childbirth may be a life-and-death test for ordinary women, but for Martha who has excellent protection, it should never end like this , now that something goes wrong, there is only one possibility...someone has meddled!

On the other side, Duke Aldan didn't mean to make any excuses for Leannis' wailing like a defeated dog, but just responded indifferently,

"I gave you a chance, but you never took it, so I'll have to ask the 'other side' for advice."

"I have to admit that you have a good eye for women... From the very beginning, she was much more rational and decisive than you~!"

The next day, at midnight, a funeral was quietly held in a hidden corner of the Duke of Aldan's mansion. The whole funeral was attended by only Lennis. All the funeral links, from grooming Martha to filling On the last pitch of soil, Leannis performed it all alone.

As the heir to the duke's mansion, Lyonis shouldn't have done these things himself, but he repelled everyone and completed the funeral alone.

When the dawn comes, all ends, and in the deepest part of the darkness, a small tomb stands on the horizon.

Leannis stood in front of the tombstone for a long time, staring at the inscription on the tombstone silently, in a trance, he seemed to see Martha's face, but when he stretched out his arm instinctively, all he touched was the cold tombstone.

Finally, after a deep sigh of unknown meaning, the expressionless Leannis turned and left silently. At this moment, if anyone looked at him, he would find that in the eyes of the heir to the duke, everything that belonged to human beings The sensual brilliance has disappeared without a trace.

The tomb behind him buried Leannis' love, and at the same time obliterated his humanity. From this moment on, the human being named Leannis had already died with his "wife", and what remained in the world was a A monster that has no humanity and only plays with people's hearts...

ps: the memory is over

Chapter 157 153. Expectation and determination

"So, you said so much, you just want to tell me...you killed my mother, right~?"

At this moment, after listening to an extremely long story, Katerina looked at the tombstone beside her, and then stared at Duke Aldan expressionlessly, with an extremely indifferent expression.

"Then you look like this, who do you want to show for?"

"Show it to my mother?"

"She is dead, she can't hear your nonsense, and she can't see your funny face. Even if she is still alive, I think you should be the last person she wants to see, right? If you don't bother her, she must Will be very happy."

"If you want to show me a show, hehe, then I can only say..."

"Hurry up and put away your expression, it will only make me feel sick!"

Facing his daughter's extremely explicit mocking words, Duke Aldan did not intend to get angry, and his face still maintained a calmness that had not changed for thousands of years.

But at the next moment, only a soft sigh sounded here, and then, Duke Aldan suddenly turned his eyes to the side, and after taking a deep look at the inscription on the tombstone, his eyes flashed for a while, and then , a faint murmur sounded,
