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

"Oh~, I see, your tongue must have lost its way in your mother's body, hahahaha......"

Finally, after the cursing sound in the ear showed a posture of chattering, everyone in the hall finally turned their eyes to the source of the sound. Afterwards, everyone was a little stunned to find that the person who spoke was actually from Nuoerqi Viscount Corvik of the Kingdom.

At this moment, I looked at Viscount Kovik, who was thin, pale, and vain, as if he had been hollowed out by wine, and looked at the other side who were generally gloomy, burly, and full of evil eyes. When the empire came to envoy, many people instinctively sighed......It is really the ignorant who are fearless.

On the other side, Viscount Kovik didn't seem to be aware of everyone's thoughts. With the title of playboy, he was like a thin honey badger madly provoking a group of lions. Looking at the guests from the empire, they kept uttering all kinds of obscene and dirty words, without paying any attention to the gloomy faces of the guests from the empire.

"Why, why do you look at me like that? Isn't what I said just now true? Or, your Majesty the Emperor......"

"presumptuous--!"

Finally, in the face of Viscount Kovik's more and more vicious insults, the guests from the empire who didn't want to pay attention to him could no longer bear it any longer.The moment Viscount Kovik pointed his curse at the Emperor, an imperial envoy dressed as a knight leaped nearly six meters in one step and stood directly in front of Viscount Kovik. Then, a sword light cut down like thunder!

"clang--!"

The next moment, just when everyone thought that Viscount Kovik was about to die under the sword of an imperial knight, a faint blue light flashed away, and then, a crisp crash sounded suddenly in the hall. When people looked at the past again, they were surprised to find that Viscount Kovik was not injured at all, but the long sword of the imperial knight was broken by some kind of force.

Facing such a strange scene in front of them, everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to the direction of the flickering blue light and shadow, and after that, Katerina's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

That's right, at the critical moment, it was Katerina who saved Viscount Kovik. According to the rules among nobles, the host of the banquet has the responsibility to protect the guests who come to the banquet. In case of an accident, the reputation of the master will be greatly affected, and in addition to the current special period, if Viscount Kovik is injured or even killed by the people of the empire at the banquet, it is easy to send wrong political signals to the outside world. This is something that girls never want to see.

Therefore, after discovering the actions of the imperial knights, Katerina, who was the first to react, decisively rescued Viscount Kovik.

And after saving Viscount Kovic, the anger in Katerina's heart exploded instantly. This anger was not only directed at those imperial visitors who didn't care about her face at all, but also at Viscount Kovic.

As for why Viscount Kovik also made Katerina feel angry, the reason is very simple. After saving him, the girl suddenly realized that the conflict just now was probably deliberately provoked by this viscount, and even the performance of an imperial knight's assassination , is also a scene he carefully created!

Unlike the others present, relying on the speed-up ability of the Azure Eye, Katerina clearly "saw" all the movements of the imperial knight who did it. The opponent's long sword was indeed aimed at Kovik The Viscount slashed down, but the final landing point of the long sword was not Viscount Kovik's body, but his clothes.

Obviously, the imperial knight had a clue in his heart, knowing that injuring someone on such an occasion would probably lead the situation in a direction that was not good for the empire, so he just wanted to use his sword to destroy Viscount Kovik's clothes , in order to achieve the purpose of embarrassing him in public.

However, this imperial knight who had great confidence in his own swordsmanship miscalculated. The moment he shot, Viscount Kovik suddenly leaned his body forward by a small half of his body, and it was this small half of his body. , Changed the landing point of the long sword, and turned what should have been a humiliating attack into a fatal move.

At this moment, the trembling on the face of the imperial knight that has not completely dissipated, and Viscount Kovik, who has clearly experienced a life-and-death crisis but is still cursing without fear, are the most powerful evidence for this conclusion.

"Humph!"

After realizing that she had fallen into someone's schemes, Katerina snorted heavily, her eyes flickering coldly, and finally, her gaze fell on Viscount Kovic,

"Viscount Kovik, I'm sorry to have surprised you."

"Please forgive my negligence. There will be a small profit in the future. As for now, please go to the guest room to rest for the time being."

Saying that, ignoring the reaction of the person involved, Katerina waved her hand indifferently, and ordered her servants to take Viscount Kovic to the living room. Facing the girl's unceremonious behavior, Viscount Kovic showed a slight smile on his face. He looked resentful and seemed to want to refute, but in the end he was invited out.

After Viscount Kovik disappeared in the hall, Katerina looked back at the uninvited guests on the field,

"Emissaries of the empire, I don't know what you are doing here this time?"

Speaking of this, Katerina paused slightly, and after carefully looking at the imperial envoys in front of her, and found that the other party was full of wind and dust, the girl couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and then continued as if jokingly or threateningly,

"The empire is nearly a thousand miles away from Chris, and you all came here in such a hurry, is it just to make trouble at my coming-of-age ceremony?"

Facing Katerina's question in an unclear tone, the leader of the imperial emissary team immediately stepped out. After saluting the girl, he responded respectfully,

"Dear Miss Caterina, you are joking......"

At this moment, as soon as the imperial envoy opened his mouth, many people in the hall frowned immediately, but this time, the people who frowned were mainly the local nobles of Chris, and the reason why they had such a reaction was the problem. On the imperial envoy's address to Katerina.

According to the way of addressing among nobles, on formal occasions, unless it is a relative or close friend, the highest status of the other party should be used as the honorific title.

At present, Katerina has many identities, and the most important identity is naturally the Queen of Burros. This is a recognized fact. Under normal circumstances, the honorific address for Katerina in official exchanges should be "Your Majesty" instead of "Her Majesty" Miss Catalina".

Obviously, as a diplomatic envoy of the most powerful country in the human world, it is absolutely impossible to understand this point, but at this time the other party deliberately ignored the facts, obviously sending a clear political signal to the outside world...... …

The Empire does not recognize Katarina as Queen of Burros!

"Please forgive me for my disrespect......" On the other side, the imperial envoy standing in the center of the hall, as if he hadn't noticed the eyes of other people at all, he faced the expression The cold Katerina still maintains a respectful attitude,

"I did not come here this time to disturb your banquet. In fact, long before I came, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our country had repeatedly explained to me that we must use the most respectful attitude and use the most noble form of the empire. Manners, treat Miss Caterina."

"In front of Miss Katerina, we have absolutely no guts to act presumptuously."

"By the way, Your Highness asked me to bring a gift, and please Miss Katerina to look at it......"

As he said that, the imperial envoy seemed to have not noticed the sharper gaze of the girl in front of him at all, and made a gesture to the entourage behind him.

Afterwards, in the team of imperial envoys, a female member holding a gift box slowly walked up to Katerina with impeccable etiquette, and then solemnly opened the gift box. In an instant, a light that was neither dazzling nor faint suddenly flashed in the hall.

When people looked closely, they suddenly found that the light came from inside the gift box, to be precise, it came from a necklace in the gift box.

"Miss Katerina, please take a look, this is a gift specially selected for you by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

At this moment, looking at the people around them with shocked faces, the imperial envoy raised his head high, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and put on a proud posture. After everyone's eyes focused on him, he With a high-pitched voice, proclaim loudly,

"The name of this object is [Eternal Glory Star]. It was a gift given to his wife by the legendary knight Lofekel in the epic records 1000 years ago. Its value is immeasurable. More than 100 years ago, a king even Willing to exchange this necklace with three cities!"

"Miss Katerina, after hearing the news that you will hold a coming-of-age ceremony, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worked hard to obtain this [Eternal Glory Star], and decided to present this necklace to you to wish you eternal youth , please accept it."

After the words fell, the hall was suddenly silent. The people present were all well-educated aristocrats. It is impossible not to have heard the name of [Eternal Glory Star]. The effect is unimaginable.

At this moment, almost everyone was shocked by such a generous move of the empire. It was hard for everyone to imagine that the empire could give away such a priceless wonder.

But soon, the first group of people who came back to their senses immediately sank their faces, and some people even showed a hint of anxiety in their expressions. They all looked at Katerina, as if they were afraid that Katerina would In this way, he accepted the gift from the empire.

These people are mainly nobles from abroad. After recovering from the empire's generous actions, they immediately realized the problems.

No one is a fool, such a precious thing with special historical significance is suddenly brought to the current occasion by the empire as a gift, the intention is already very obvious......

This is not a gift at all, this is a marriage proposal!

And it's not a marriage proposal in the general sense. When the imperial envoy deliberately named the special background of "Eternal Glory Star", the so-called gift-giving act became a political declaration to the outside world. Na promised to take the position of queen!

Although Katerina is currently the queen of Burros and has achieved various brilliant achievements, in the eyes of most people, the girl is just a woman after all. Compared with being the queen of a group of pirates, the position of the queen of the empire is obviously much more attractive .

And more importantly, no one stipulated that the Queen of the Empire and the Queen of Burros could not be the same person, and if Katerina really took Burros to vote for the Empire, the picture would really make many people dare not imagine.

So at this moment, many people in the hall looked worriedly at the silent Katerina, very worried that the girl would not be able to resist the temptation, and chose to fulfill the promise of the empire.

"Thank you so much for the gift..."

The next moment, when everyone was worried about this, Katerina, the person involved, finally spoke,

"But I'm sorry, I can't accept this gift."

At this point, Katerina waved her hand suddenly. Immediately afterwards, the gift box seemed to be guided by some invisible force, and quickly closed automatically. When the gift box was closed, the light that bloomed from the necklace also disappeared. Afterwards, looking at the crowd whose atmosphere suddenly relaxed, the girl continued to speak quietly,

"Please tell your Royal Highness the crown prince for me. I appreciate his 'kindness', but I can't afford the value of this gift. You should take it back and give it to someone who is worthy of it."

After all, Katerina was about to raise her hand to see off the guest, but before she could speak, the imperial envoy in front of the girl suddenly took a step forward, and said with a strange smile,

"Miss Katerina, please take it easy......"

"This time, Your Highness asked us to give you a gift, and this is not the only one!"

ps: Sorry, the recent update is indeed a little slow, but there is no way, the author also wants to keep the daily update, but now the plot is getting more and more difficult to write, it involves political confrontation at the international level, and it is necessary to consider the ideas, methods and methods of each interest group If the countermeasures of the opponent are slightly wrong, the characters will appear stupid. In order to maintain the rationality of the plot, the author has to spend a longer time thinking about it, so I am sorry.

Chapter 167 163. Thanks, Father

"presumptuous!"

At the moment when the imperial envoy's words fell, there was a loud shout in the hall, and then, a female knight in the crowd stepped out, standing directly opposite the imperial envoy, and at the same time she drew her long sword out of its sheath, The flickering sword pointed directly at the envoys of the empire.

This female knight is Celia, and now she is the leader of Katerina's Guard Knights. As the earliest follower of Katerina, Celia has a loyalty to Katerina that surpasses everyone. She, who pursues the way of chivalry, has long regarded the young girl as her lord whom she will swear allegiance to in this life, and absolutely cannot tolerate anyone's disrespect to the young girl.

Although there was nothing out of the ordinary in the words of the imperial envoy in front of him, the yin and yang aura revealed in his tone was enough for Celia to draw her sword.

"You bastards, how dare you speak so arrogantly in front of His Majesty!"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, none of you will leave this hall!"

With the fall of Celia's voice, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense. Countless gazes filled with various thoughts kept going back and forth between Celia and the imperial envoy, but they all stopped at on Katrina's face.

Facing everyone's attention, Katerina stared blankly at the imperial envoy in front of her, until Celia, who was standing in front of the girl, had already put on a posture ready to attack, Katerina leisurely opened the mouth and said,

"Selia, step back."

"But..." Hearing Katerina's order, Celia looked back at her lord, instinctively wanting to say something, but under the girl's extremely oppressive gaze , she finally chose to obey.

After that, when Celia gave up her place, Katerina looked at the imperial envoy who was still maintaining a high profile. After a moment of silence, the corner of the girl's mouth suddenly curved slightly, and then, a burst of disdain was clearly revealed With sarcastic chuckles, gently echoing in the hall...  

"Oh, that fellow Reinhardt is still so worrying. I thought that Guidiwei Island was enough for him to understand that some things cannot be forced, but in the end, it seems that that guy has no long memory at all~"

"Maybe I should send some fleet out for a little more tour, or maybe just hold a naval parade on Guidiway Island? Feels pretty good."

Speaking of this, Katerina glanced at the imperial envoy with a slightly gloomy face in front of her with a half-smile, then held her head high and continued in a cold tone,

"Tell me, what crooked idea is that guy playing?"

"Miss Katerina, you misunderstood......"

At this moment, regarding the extremely explicit ridicule in Katerina's words, the imperial envoy slightly twitched the corners of his eyes, as if he wanted to refute something, but in the end, he gave up his plan to defend the honor of his crown prince, and after taking a deep breath, He spoke again in a respectful tone,

"Your Highness has nothing but sincere admiration for you, and absolutely no disrespect..."

"Don't talk about such useless things, I'm not in the mood to listen!" The next moment, just as the imperial envoy had just opened his mouth, Katerina snorted coldly, then waved her hand decisively,

"Today is my coming-of-age ceremony. Many guests took time out of their busy schedules to congratulate me. At this moment, I don't want to waste the time of everyone present because of some boring things."

"So... either say something, or please!"

"In this case..." At this moment, hearing Katerina's extremely rude announcement, the imperial envoy seemed to be irritated, first his brows twitched slightly, and then, After taking a straight look at the girl, he raised his head and said in a cold tone,

"Then I will follow your wishes."

"Dear Miss Katerina, His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to come here this time to deliver two gifts to you."

"One of them is the [Eternal Glory Star] you just saw, as for the other gift......"

At this point, there was a hint of malice in the eyes of the imperial envoy,

"Miss Katerina, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learned of the news that you became the Queen of Burros not long ago. In order to celebrate your achievements, His Highness specially prepared a big gift for you."

"Currently, in Halls, Broome, and Kannamara, the warehouses in these three port cities are already full of food and related supplies, and the ownership of these items has now belonged to His Highness... ......"

After the words fell, looking at Katerina whose expression was changing rapidly, the corners of the imperial envoy's mouth couldn't help but twitched slightly, and a weird smile appeared on his face,

"Don't get me wrong, Miss Katerina, our Highness has no other intentions, just considering that you have just taken over Bulrose and urgently need outside assistance, so I specially prepared these materials for you and want to give them to you as a gift .”

"Now, you just need to accept the gift from our Highness with peace of mind, and the materials in the warehouse will be shipped to Burros immediately. What do you think?"

When the imperial envoy finished his speech, the vast majority of people in the hall couldn't help showing doubts on their faces, as if they didn't understand what the imperial envoy's intention was, but at the same time, Katerina frowned. Locked tightly, there was only a gloomy look in the eyes looking at the imperial envoy, and there was even a faint flame flickering in the pupils.
