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

As she spoke, Katerina looked at a certain figure in the crowd, and after a while, the girl's eyes narrowed like a fox's.

"Whether there is an invitation or not, those who have ideas and determination are always unstoppable."

After the voice fell, Katerina turned her eyes back to her maid, and then, only listening to the girl's deep voice, said,

"Go ahead, since everyone is almost here, let the banquet begin."

Facing Katerina's order, Avril nodded calmly at first, but just as she was about to turn around and leave, she seemed to suddenly remember something, only to hear the maid address her master with a slightly hesitant tone. asked,

"Your Majesty, your father, the Duke of Aldan, has not yet arrived at the mansion. Are you sure you want to start the ceremony now?"

As Katerina's personal maid, Avril Lavigne is of course aware of the embarrassing relationship between her lord and Duke Aldan. The important link needs to be handled by the elders of the family, and Katerina's only elder blood relative in this world is the Duke of Aldan.

If Duke Aldan was not present and started the banquet directly, then the link in the follow-up ceremony that needs to be personally organized by the elders of the family will not be completed, so Avril Lavigne will have such an attitude at this time.

On the other side, regarding Avril Lavigne's hesitation, Katerina herself looked indifferent. The girl waved her hand, and then responded indifferently,

"It doesn't matter, isn't there Ms. Salina? Now that the news of her divorce from the old man has not been officially announced, she is still my mother in law, and it's the same if she presides over the ceremony."

"It really doesn't work, go help me and ask Hill, I think she should be interested."

Faced with Katerina's remarks, Avril could not help opening her mouth, but in the end, the maid didn't say anything, and just turned around and left after a salute.

On the other side, looking at the back of Avril Lavigne, Katerina slightly raised her eyebrows, her eyes seemed to reveal some doubts, but soon, the girl turned her gaze to the crowd downstairs.

This time, Katerina's gaze was very purposeful. The moment she looked back, the girl's gaze was directed towards a certain corner of the hall.

Following Katerina's line of sight, a surrounded figure quickly became clear. This person was His Royal Highness the Second Prince from the Kingdom of Bohr--Mikhail Romanov.

At this moment, staring at this uninvited guest with unknown intentions, Katerina couldn't help narrowing her eyes slightly, and a faint light flashed in her pupils, and just when the girl was about to continue observing for a while, the light that was originally overflowing in the hall The music that revealed the lightness and joy suddenly became passionate and high-pitched.

At this moment, listening to the drastic change of the tune coming from her ears, Katerina quickly realized that the banquet had officially begun, and it was time for her, the protagonist, to prepare to appear.Immediately, after taking a deep breath, the girl who quickly adjusted her mental state stepped on a steady pace and walked towards the stairs calmly...... …

ps: The author has been looking through the history of World War I these days. Originally, he planned to use World War I as a model to create a follow-up plot, but after reading the history of World War I in Europe, the author found helplessly...... A concubine can't do it!

It is too troublesome to use the history of World War I as the background of the plot. The author felt that his own level would definitely lead to collapse, so he gave up this route with self-knowledge. Fortunately, after a few days of thinking, the author finally found a new one. Idea, please look forward to it

Chapter 165 161. The Uninvited Guest

"Kingsley, what do you think of the new queen of Boorrose?"

The time went back to a few minutes ago. While Katerina was watching the guests at the banquet, His Royal Highness Mikhail Romanov, the second prince from the Kingdom of Borrel, was also talking to his entourage about her topic.

"Report to Your Highness..."

Regarding the question raised by Mikhail, the follower named Kingsley responded in a slightly low tone,

"As for Her Majesty the Queen, due to her rapid rise, we currently have too little information, so it is difficult to give an accurate judgment."

"However, what is certain is that she is an extremely intelligent and extremely proud woman, and the azure blood has endowed her with great strength, coupled with the courage and skill that seem to be born with her, making this majesty the most powerful woman in the world. At such a young age, he achieved greatness that no one can match."

"By watching her past deeds, I even feel that I am facing a legendary hero who came out of the ancient epic."

"Therefore, I suggest that in the following exchanges, Your Highness should also pay the utmost respect to this young queen, and never underestimate her because of her age."

At this moment, after listening to Kingsley's speech, Mikhail first widened his eyes, as if he had seen something amazing, and then laughed dumbly and said,

"Kingsley, I've never seen you give someone such a high opinion before, and you can make your lump show this expression, it seems... this Boulrose's new Queen, there is indeed something extraordinary~."

Facing Mikhail's teasing remarks, Kingsley, who was evaluated as a lump, did not change the expression on his face, but responded calmly,

"Your Highness, maybe I have to declare that it's not that I have a high evaluation, but that only this evaluation can match the queen's achievements."

"I hope you don't mistake the causal relationship. A wrong positioning will have a high probability of negatively affecting things related to it."

At this time, listening to Kingsley's serious speech, the smile on Mikhail's face couldn't help but pause slightly. Then, he restrained the frivolity in his expression, and said again in the same serious tone,

"Okay, no kidding."

"Then tell me, how likely do you think the purpose of our trip will be achieved? Will Her Majesty the Queen agree to our request?"

In response to Mikhail's question, the light in Kingsley's eyes dimmed slightly, and then a deep voice sounded from here,

"Your Highness, whether the goal of our trip can be achieved in the end actually does not depend on us, but on the empire."

"Empire~?"

Listening to Kingsley's answer, Mikhail instinctively glanced around, then his face sank,

"What do you mean? Do you think that the empire may also intervene?"

"It's not possible, it's certain!" Kingsley gave an affirmative answer to Mikhail's inquiry, expressionless.

"His Majesty Katerina was able to use the strength of a city of Chris to destroy Burrose's army head-on in a very short period of time and force it to surrender completely. Anyone who is not an idiot can see what it means. .”

"The imperial people have never been idiots. It is impossible for them not to understand the truth. Although they have not seen their shadows yet, I think they will jump out and take action soon."

After listening to his subordinate's reply, Mikhail couldn't help but gloomy face. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked again,

"Kingsley, what do you think those imperial people will do?"

"I don't know..." Facing Mikhail's question, Kingsley shook his head slightly,

"According to the information given by [Twelve Dark Pillars], the high-level empire seems to have a very complicated attitude towards Her Majesty Katerina, and it is impossible to determine what they will do."

"Then what should we do now?" Hearing the information given by Kingsley, Mikhail couldn't help but frowned,

"If the attitude of the empire cannot be determined, there is no way to prevent it with our current strength. If the empire really pulls Burros into the chariot, the next situation will be very unfavorable to the kingdom."

"Your Highness, please rest assured..." Facing Mikhail's worry, Kingsley replied calmly,

"If there are no accidents, things should not be that bad."

After the words fell, Kingsley glanced around suddenly, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and continued,

"According to reliable sources, Her Majesty Katerina seems to have a strong dislike for the empire, and this dislike is not due to interests, but because of personal feelings."

"It is said that the Crown Prince of the Empire once tried to marry His Majesty Katerina, but was rejected in the end. In this regard, the Crown Prince of the Empire refused to give up, and tried to use force to make Her Majesty Katerina the [Queen of the White Tower] of the Empire."

"It was precisely because of this incident that Chris broke with the empire, and then there was a war with Boulrose."

"If there is no big discrepancy in this information, then we don't need to do anything next, just wait patiently. After all, with the empire's usual arrogant attitude, it is absolutely impossible to bow to a woman, and even if the empire really Ken is willing to give in to His Majesty Katerina, and with the personality shown by this Majesty, there is a high probability that Burrows will not join the imperial camp."

"but.........."

"But what?" At this moment, Mikhail, whose expression was gradually becoming relaxed because of Kingsley's narration, suddenly became tense again after hearing this turning point.

Regarding the change in Mikhail's expression, Kingsley paused slightly, and just when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the brisk and cheerful music that had been echoing in his ears. become agitated and high-pitched.

Faced with the sudden change, Kingsley and Mikhail first exchanged glances, and then both of them looked at the stairs on the second floor of the hall at the same time, and then saw a slender man with a crown on his head The young girls appeared gracefully in everyone's sight.

The next moment, the moment the girl appeared, the noisy hall quickly fell silent, and everyone involuntarily focused their eyes on the young queen, who revealed various complex meanings in front of the crowd. Looking at her, she saw the young girl standing in the most dazzling place, her expression was calm and calm, without any panic, as if everything in front of her was just a fleeting moment, not worth mentioning at all.

After a while, after quietly looking around at everyone, the girl held on to the handrail of the stairs and slowly descended step by step.

At this time, the autumn sunlight seeped in through the opening of the roof window and sprinkled wantonly on the top of the girl's head, making the crown on her head shine brightly. Against the background, every move is more beautiful and dignified.

At this moment, Mikhail, who was standing in the corner of the hall, instinctively fixed his gaze firmly on the girl. From his position, he could clearly see the girl's delicate pretty face and the flickering flicker between her brows. The heroic spirit of men is not lost.This perfect combination of rigidity and softness brought a huge sensory impact, and he couldn't help but suffocate.

At this moment, Mikhail finally understood why the rumored wise and mighty crown prince of the empire fell in love with the girl in front of him, and even did not hesitate to repeat the tragedy of his mother to get her by any means.

The girl in front of me is indeed qualified to be obsessed with!

Regarding how to judge a beauty, different people have different standards, and the standards of most men basically only stay on the surface, but for Mikhail, who has been surrounded by colorful people since birth In terms of appearance, no matter how good a woman's appearance is, it is just a tool to release her physical desire, and it is not worth spending too much thought and energy.

But the girl in front of him was different from all the women Mikhail had ever seen. Her charm was not only derived from her appearance, but more, it was the domineering temperament that shouldn't appear on women.The girl just stood quietly, and all the onlookers felt a strong pressure sweeping over, as if standing there was not a girl who had just grown up, but a powerful beast that was patrolling the territory.

This kind of excitement that seems to be brought about by living with dangerous creatures, for a high-ranking person like Mikhail who has an extraordinary background and has always been used to controlling everything, the temptation is extremely deadly.

【What a strong horse......】

At this moment, looking at the girl not far away, Mikhail, who restrained his emotions, couldn't help but secretly said that it was a pity. If he had met such a woman 20 years earlier, he would never have missed it anyway. But now, he can do it. It can only be appreciated from a distance.

"ladies and gentlemen!"

Just as everyone was silently looking at the protagonist of the banquet, a woman in a red dress suddenly appeared out of the crowd, and then walked slowly to the girl's side. Everyone took a closer look and found that this person was actually Flo. The ex-princess Hill of the Kingdom of Lida.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Hill had an elegant and calm smile on his face, posing as the host of a banquet, and said to the crowd in a melodious tone,

"Thank you very much for taking the time to come to my adoptive daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. Now, please let me introduce the protagonist of this banquet."

"Standing in front of you is the eldest daughter of the Aldan family, the heir of the Azure Bloodline, the ruler of Chris, and Her Majesty the Queen of Bulrose... Katerina Aldan!"

At this moment, along with Hill's speech, everyone in the hall clapped their hands or smiled and praised very cooperatively. This session lasted about ten minutes, and finally came to an end in a round of warm applause, and then, It is the most important part of this coming-of-age ceremony...【Fengyu Ceremony】.

The so-called [Plenty of Feather Ceremony] is actually a gift that carries blessings from the elders of the family to the younger generation, marking to the world that the younger generation is full-fledged and will officially step into the world of adults.

As for the gifts, according to the rules of the nobility, the gifts for men and women are different, and the gifts for men are more complicated. The gifts need to be something distinctive, such as a long sword that symbolizes power, or a symbol that symbolizes power. Wands and the like, and the woman is relatively simple, basically giving necklaces.

As for why it is a necklace instead of other things, it is because in this world, a necklace is the most important accessory for a woman, and it can basically represent all the attributes of a woman.

Currently, the gift that Hill is preparing for Katerina is a beautiful sapphire necklace. Next, as long as Hill personally wears the necklace for Katerina as an elder under the witness of everyone, this coming-of-age The ceremony is officially completed.

However, at this final stage, a sudden change occurred!

Just as Hill walked slowly in front of Katerina amidst the blessings of everyone, and then picked up the sapphire necklace from the tray of the attendants to put it on for the girl, there was a loud bang from the door of the hall, and then , I saw a group of heavily armed men and horses holding the long swords of the guards and rushing in abruptly.

The arrival of these uninvited guests quickly attracted everyone's attention, and after seeing their identities, the eyes of many people on the field shrank instinctively, and then quickly showed shock and vigilance. After seeing the uninvited guest in front of them, some people put on a hostile posture even more...

"The lackeys of the empire, you who have not been invited, how dare you set foot in this holy place?"

"You are looking for your own death—!"

Chapter 166 162. "Precious" gift

The moment the voice fell, the audience suddenly became dead silent, and then, the crowd moved, as if there was an invisible force that forcibly divided the people in the hall into three parts.

The largest part of them is the "local" nobles of the Kingdom of Florida. Faced with the sudden situation in front of them, these people almost instinctively gathered together, but after that, they did not make any more moves. Most people are just like bystanders, silently observing the development of the incident.

Then there are nobles from other countries. Except for a small number of these people who sneaked into the largest group on the field, the rest of them, like the nobles of the Kingdom of Florida, quickly gathered into a small group, but with The difference is that when they faced the uninvited guests who broke in suddenly, they showed extremely strong hostility.

The last part, of course, is those uninvited guests.Facing the eyes of everyone present focusing on them, these people were not moved at all. As for the obviously malicious scolding just now, they seemed to have not heard it at all, ignored them, and just stood quietly In the center of the hall, the etiquette of the visitor is laid out, standing opposite the owner here.

At this moment, seeing the sudden change in front of her eyes, Katerina, the host, couldn't help narrowing her eyes, but just when she was about to say something, a louder shout sounded ahead of her. ,

"The lackeys of the empire, why are you suddenly dumb? Could it be that you have done too many evil things and your tongue was cut off by the devil?"
