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

In fact, Katerina has already thought of the solution to the problem. The problem she is facing now is nothing more than the chaos caused by the sudden collapse of power and order. It is very simple to solve the problem. Just find someone who can control the situation. Just hand over the Aldanan family to him to manage.

The problem lies in the selection of managers. Looking at the entire Aldan family, there are currently only two people who can control the situation. One is the [patriarch] Benedict of the Elders' Association, and the other is the Duke of Aldan.

The former is obviously not an option. The Elders’ Association system is almost the source of all tragedies. Katerina has finally dug up this source. If Benedict is allowed to come back again, it will easily give the outside world a wrong political signal.

As for the Duke of Aldan... Katerina really didn't want to consider him, because the girl couldn't overcome the hurdle in her heart.

After the whole thing was over, Katerina had come to her senses. From the beginning to the end of this incident, she had been in a state of being pushed away. The other party considered all the reactions she might make and lured herself into a deep situation step by step. In the end, they had to act according to the other party's wishes.

Who this person is is self-evident.

Under such circumstances, how could Katerina be willing to allow Duke Aldan to regain power.

However, the reality is that there are too many things waiting for Katerina to deal with Burros and Chris. It is impossible for a girl to stay with the Aldan family for a long time, and the current Aldan family urgently needs someone who can control her. Those in power who live in the hearts of the people stand up and lead the overall situation.

Facing this disgusting multiple-choice question, Katerina couldn't help but feel a bit in a dilemma, but just as the girl was hesitating, a cheerful call suddenly came to her ears,

"Sister, sister, I'm here to find you."

At this moment, Katerina, who was sitting at the desk in the study looking through the documents when she heard the call coming from her ear, raised her head instinctively, and then saw a small man loitering out from the door of the study. The other person was staring at him with big round eyes. This person was Diana who had been arranged by the girl to go out for refuge.

"It's Nana~"

Seeing her sister suddenly appear, Katerina blinked her eyes, then handed out the document in her hand, smiled and waved to the girl in front of her,

"You came back so fast, I was thinking about whether to send someone to pick you up."

"Come on, don't just stand there, come to my sister."

Hearing Katerina's words, the girl rushed over cheering, and plunged into Katerina's arms. After that, the girl's head kept rubbing against Katerina's arms, as if A kitten begging to be petted.

Seeing her younger sister in this appearance, Katerina's feeling of oppression in her heart was relieved immediately, but soon, after discovering that her younger sister's intimate behavior had no intention of stopping at all, the girl who had been tossed so hard had no choice but to get angry Pat the opponent's little head,

"Get up quickly, how old you are, why are you still acting like a child?"

Facing Katerina's "warning", the girl finally stopped her cat-like behavior, raised her head from the girl's arms, twisted her small face, stared at her big watery eyes, and complained aggrievedly,

"Don't tell me my sister doesn't like me anymore~?"

Looking at her sister who said "I'll cry for you if you dare to say it", Katerina, who had been tossed and had no temper at all, had no choice but to respond,

"How could it be? If my sister really didn't like Nana, she wouldn't have come all the way back to deal with Aldan's mess."

Speaking of this, Katerina seemed to have remembered something, and she suddenly corrected her expression, and then said in a serious tone,

"By the way, Nana, there is one thing that my sister needs to ask for your opinion."

"If... I mean, if you were to go with your sister and give up your status as the daughter of the Duke of Aldan, would you be willing?"

At this moment, when she suddenly heard the question raised by Katerina, the girl was stunned. She looked at her sister in a daze, her eyes were full of bewilderment, as if her brain couldn't handle the huge The amount of information is average.

Seeing this, Katerina didn't force her, but after sighing softly, she explained in a calm tone,

"Nana, you are 12 years old this year, and you are already a big girl. There are some things I don't want to keep from you."

"During your absence, many things have happened in the Duke's Mansion. Many people and things have changed, and they are no longer the same as before."

"In addition, if there are no accidents, the mother will divorce the old man soon, and the mother will no longer be the duchess in the future, and she will give up the surname of Aldan and return to the Aaron family."

"The question now is, are you willing to come back to Chris with my mother?"

Having said that, she glanced at Diana, who looked extremely frightened, and Katerina gently touched the other person's head, and then comforted her with a soft tone,

"Nana, don't worry, no matter what happens, no matter how you choose, you will always be my sister, this will not change~"

At this moment, upon hearing Katerina's words of comfort, the fear in the girl's eyes gradually dissipated, but it was replaced by an extremely obvious hesitation. Obviously, facing the question Katerina raised, the girl didn't know what she was doing. How to make a choice.

On the other side, looking at Diana, whose gaze was vacillating and who obviously lacked determination, Katerina didn't say much, but looked at her sister with pity.As a person who has lived two lifetimes, Katerina knows very well that a family split is a terrible thing for a child caught between her parents. In addition, Diana is not a decisive person. Faced with this kind of thing, it is naturally impossible to make a decision in a short time.

If possible, Katerina didn't want to "force" her sister to make a decision, but there was no other way. The divorce between the Duke and Duchess of Aldan was already an imminent issue.

At this moment, the negotiations between the Duke of Aldan and the Duchess have already started, and if nothing unexpected happens, the two sides will have a result soon.In this case, Katerina needs to find out Diana's opinion as soon as possible. The longer the matter drags on, the more troublesome it will become.

That's why Katerina decided to be ruthless at this time, letting her sister face the reality without any psychological preparation.

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

At the same time, it was located in the study of the Duke of Aldan.

While Katerina was waiting for her sister's answer, the negotiations between the Duke and Duchess of Aldan were also in progress......

"Salena, are you really sure about this~?"

At this moment, looking at his wife and noticing her thin figure, Duke Aldan couldn't help but sighed softly, and then said calmly,

"I won't ask other questions. You have always been smart. You must have thought it through before you came to me. Now I just want to know about the divorce you mentioned... ...Have you considered the feelings of the children?"

"Lane~~"

Hearing the question raised by the Duke of Aldan, the Duchess sitting opposite responded indifferently,

"You don't have to say anything more. I have considered everything very clearly. There is no possibility between us. As for the children...they have grown up, they have their own lives and their own paths If you want to go, no one can stay with them all the time."

"Now, the only thing my mother can do is to silently bless them~"

Regarding the duchess' response, Duke Aldan couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then, with a soft sigh, Duke Aldan said in a slightly low tone,

"Salena, I really don't know, how did we get to this point?"

At this moment, hearing Duke Aldan's inquiry as if talking to herself, the expression on the Duchess's face suddenly became very strange. She looked at Duke Aldan with sarcasm, sadness, and a hint of despair. of silence.

Finally, after taking a deep breath, the Duchess stared deeply at Duke Aldan, and then asked calmly,

"Lian, I have been married to the Duke's Mansion for nearly 20 years. I have spent countless cold nights and warm sunny days with you. Now, I have a question for you... ................"

"Have you ever loved me?"

"Even if it's only for a moment, Ryan, please answer me honestly...... Have you ever loved me~?"

After the voice fell, there was a dead silence in the study room. It was not until a long time later that I heard a whisper that seemed to come from the abyss, echoing faintly here,

"Salena, do you know? I have planned countless things in my life, no matter whether I hurt innocent people or not, I have never regretted it, but there are two people who make me feel guilty all the time."

"One of them is you."

"I'm sorry about that......"

Chapter 161 Chapter 157

"Is that so?"

At this moment, upon hearing Duke Aldan's answer, the Duchess smiled wryly, her expression was full of desolation and helplessness, but soon, all the negative emotions disappeared from the Duchess's face, and immediately after, a voice was heard. Sighs echo faintly here,

"It's okay, Ryan, in fact, you don't have to feel guilty, really, I never hated you, even now."

"As a husband, you are competent. From any point of view, you have treated me very well these years. You have given me all the honor that belongs to the Duchess. I have no position to hate you at all."

"So, you don't have to feel guilty at all. On the contrary, I have failed to fulfill my wife's responsibilities many times and caused you a lot of trouble. I'm really sorry."

"Ryan, this is the last time I will call you that, and I will spend the rest of my life remembering how kind you were to me, but......"

At this point, in the eyes of the Duchess looking at Duke Aldan, all the emotional colors disappeared, leaving only a silent gray,

"I don't want to be by your side for a moment!"

After the words were finished, the Duchess stood up slowly, saluted Duke Aldan with the most respectful gesture, and then, with ultimate determination, she turned and left the study without hesitation.

After a while, looking at the gate that had disappeared without a trace, Duke Aldan suddenly felt that something important had disappeared deep in his heart, and an inexplicable sense of confusion appeared in his mind. Suffocated, so that the frequency of breathing was accelerated instinctively.

Out of an instinct from the heart, Duke Aldan stood up suddenly, as if he wanted to do something, but just as he made a move, he froze all over, and then, he saw the expression on his face The somewhat gloomy His Excellency the Duke slowly sat back in his original position.

At this moment, looking at the empty study, Duke Aldan finally realized that he didn't really have no feelings for his wife, but was deliberately ignored.Over the past 20 years of getting along day and night, with more than [-] days of mutual companionship, the shadow of my wife has already infiltrated into my life silently, just like white snow falling on solid ice. as one.

For a moment, Duke Aldan suddenly wanted to desperately keep his wife, but in the end, he chose to let go.Because 20 years ago, he had done similar things to his beloved. He tried every means to keep the white moonlight that accidentally shone in his heart, but in the end he created a tearful Heartbreaking tragedy.

It was this tragedy that taught Duke Aldan a truth... some things, even with supreme power, still cannot be forced.

Therefore, in the face of his wife who had already stated that he had broken with him, in order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, Duke Aldan finally chose to let go and let his wife find her own happiness.

With the departure of the Duchess, the study seemed to have turned into a deserted cemetery in an instant, and the room was eerily quiet.

After a long time, Duke Aldan, who had kept his eyes tightly closed, suddenly moved. He found a pocket watch inlaid with blue gemstones from the bottom drawer of the desk, and after rubbing the pocket watch for a while, he Gently lift the flip cover of the pocket watch with your thumb, and then, a line of words that are so familiar comes into view......

[Wish the love between Leonis and Martha shines like a sapphire]

"Ah~~"

A moment later, with a long sigh in the room, Duke Aldan closed his pocket watch again, then stood up and walked slowly to the window. He stretched out his hand and opened the curtains, and the dazzling sunlight suddenly flooded into the room like a tide, welcoming Seeing that dazzling light, Duke Aldan could not help but narrow his eyes. At this moment, there seemed to be a sparkle in the corner of his eyes.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, just as Duke Aldan was looking at the clouds and clouds outside the window, immersed in his own world, a certain bookshelf in the room suddenly moved by itself, and then, the bookshelf moved to the left for a certain distance, A dark tunnel entrance was revealed, and at the next moment, a figure walked out of the tunnel......

"Master~"

The person who came was Karbas, the butler of the Duke's Mansion. During the period when Katerina was rectifying the various forces in the Duke's Mansion, this big butler had been missing. No one knew where he had gone. For this reason, the girl specially arranged The man had been guarding for a while, but he never thought that the other party would show up here.

On the other side, after hearing the call from behind, Duke Aldan who was standing by the window closed his eyes slightly, and after restraining his emotions, he asked without looking back,

"How's it going?"

Facing Duke Aldan's inquiry, Karbas first saluted the Duke with his back turned, and then said solemnly,

"Reporting to the master, the lord has passed away, but it was not our people who did it. Before our plan was implemented, he had committed suicide."

"Suicide~?"

Finally, it seemed that the answer given by Karbas caught the attention of Duke Aldan. The owner of the Duke's mansion suddenly turned around and stared at his butler sharply.

"That's how he died?"

"Yes, sir." To Duke Aldan's question, Karbas lowered his head slightly and responded respectfully,

"The lord left very resolutely and didn't give us any chance, but......"

When he said this, there seemed to be something unspeakable, and Karbas seemed a little hesitant, but in the end, under the cold gaze of Duke Aldan, he took out a letter from his pocket, and continued slowly,

"At the scene, we found a letter, which seems to be left for you by that adult."

At this moment, looking at the letter handed to him, Duke Aldan frowned slightly, then took the letter from the butler and quickly opened it. There was very little content on the letter, only one sentence... .........
