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

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Please forgive me, this is not a wise move. Miss Kay's status is too special, and the current situation in Bulrose is still unstable. If she is now named Duke, I am afraid...... ..."

"No need to say more, I've made up my mind." Caterina waved her hands calmly for Avril's admonition, and blocked Avril's next words of admonition.

After that, looking at Avril with a worried look, Katerina sighed slightly, then spoke again in a slow tone,

"Don't worry, Avril, I know it well."

"Kay's identity is indeed a bit special, but she has already chosen to surrender to me, and even gave me her family fortune. This determination is worthy of my trust."

"Even without this incident, I originally planned to give her an identity, but now it's just a little earlier."

"But Your Majesty......" After listening to Katerina's explanation, the worry in Avril's expression did not dissipate, but became more intense.

"That's the position of a duke!"

"Are you really not thinking about it anymore?"

At this moment, Katerina shook her head helplessly in the face of the increasingly clear worry in the eyes of her chief clerk. At this moment, the girl deeply felt the influence of the limitations of the times on people, even if it was Avril Lavigne, who is closest to her in thinking, is inevitably bound by backward cognition.

Regarding Avril Lavigne's concerns, Katerina is of course clear. In the current era, a person who is crowned a duke is an extremely important existence for any country.

In terms of jurisprudence, the difference between the duke and the king is actually not that big. The duke basically has all the powers that the king has, and in terms of influence, the influence of the duke level is not much inferior to that of the king. In many cases, the two parties are only in nominal affiliation .

And most importantly, the dukes of almost all countries currently have the right to inherit the royal family legally. Although the succession sequence is relatively late, the duke family can be regarded as the royal reserve.

Under such circumstances, any kingdom must be extremely cautious in conferring duke titles.

This topic is placed in the Kingdom of Burros at this time, and it needs to be more cautious, because currently Katerina is not only too young as the queen of Burros, but also has no heir under her command. As a former member of the royal family, it is easy to create a situation where the royal power is handed over.

It is precisely because of this that Avril Lavigne will show a firm opposition to this.

Regarding Avril Lavigne's worries, Katerina understands them, but she does not intend to follow the advice. The girl has her own views on this matter.

When doing things, we must grasp the main contradiction, and all secondary contradictions revolve around the main contradiction. If the main contradiction is resolved, the basis for the existence of the secondary contradiction will be shaken, and the problem will naturally be solved.

In Katerina's view, the main contradiction facing the current Burros Kingdom is that there are two "centers" in the domestic political structure, namely, the new king group headed by a young girl, and the old minister group headed by the previous generation of royal family .

At present, the King of Saxony's lingering prestige has not dissipated, and Caterina has just taken office as the new king, and her authority is still unstable. This makes the political field turbulent and uncertain. It is easy for someone with a heart to take advantage of loopholes.

Regarding how to solve the current predicament, Katerina did not hesitate to choose to start from the main contradiction, and was going to disintegrate the old ministers group.

According to Katerina's original idea, she planned to use the method of "self-recommendation" to set up a set of rules of the game, so that the former ministers of Burros could find corresponding candidates according to their status, ability and objective needs. He proposed self-recommendation for government positions, and then used this to induce conflicts of interest hidden among the people, so that the old ministers of Boulros fought against each other for their own interests, and could not form a joint force.

Afterwards, the girl herself, as the final arbiter, divided and disintegrated the forces of Burros's old ministers, and finally took them back for her own use, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the overall situation.

Unfortunately, however, things did not develop in the direction Katerina envisioned. Instead of fighting each other for the bait thrown by the girl, Burrows' old ministers united into a group and used the soft confrontation method of abusing self-recommendation to fight against each other. Resist policies that divide girls.

The development of the matter to this point is indeed somewhat beyond Katerina's expectations, but this has further strengthened the girl's determination to resolve the main conflict first, and the canonization of the former princess Kay as the Duke of Boulrose is exactly what the girl intends to use to resolve An important means of the principal contradiction.

Everything has two sides. Sudden canonization of Kay as Duke at this time will certainly bring a certain degree of political hidden dangers, but the benefits are also visible.

Although the duke legally has the right to inherit the royal family, at the same time, as a member of the royal family of the defeated party, once Kay accepts Katerina's canonization, the political significance is equivalent to the previous royal family choosing to serve the girl.

You know, "surrender" and "surrender" are two concepts. After the king of Saxony was defeated, he chose to surrender to Catalina. will be treated like a king.

And if Kay accepts the canonization of the duke title, this behavior is considered effective. If this is done, the title of monarch and subject will be redefined legally, and the Alva family that Kay belongs to will no longer be able to appear in the world as a royal family superior.

At present, the reason why the former Burros group can unite is basically due to the appeal of the previous royal family, the Alva family, and once Katerina’s canonization is completed, it will be tantamount to bringing the banner of uniting the former Burros group together. Remove completely.

In this way, the old ministers of Burros will lose the legitimacy of uniting against Katerina in terms of jurisprudence, and when a group unites to fight against foreign enemies is no longer legitimate, then the internal contradictions of the group will quickly It rises to the main contradiction. At that time, the whole group will become a mess as if its backbone has been taken away. Even if some people still do not give up and want to continue to do things, their appeal will become very limited.

It was precisely because of this that Katerina thought about making Kai a duke.

Katerina did not explain the reason for this to Avril, because the girl knew that with the wisdom of the other party, she could actually understand it without saying it herself. Not worth the risk.

However, on the issue of risk, Catalina also has a different view.

In Avril Lavigne's eyes, the current political system of Burros is rapidly leaping towards a centralized system. If members of the former royal family are allowed to legally inherit the throne at this time, then the life safety of the new king Katerina will be greatly affected. The threat is like sitting on the crater of a volcano that is about to erupt, and the risks are endless.

However, in Katerina's view, the risk of conferring a duke is completely controllable, because the girl's centralization of power is not for personal desire for power, but for the purpose of gathering local power to the center, and then delegating it to the soon-to-be-established government in the name of the royal family. in the hands of the government.

The process of gathering power, centralizing it, and decentralizing the government will be very rapid. It won’t take long for the relevant beneficiaries to spring up like mushrooms after rain. Afterwards, as long as people see clearly the general trend that power will eventually belong to the government rather than the royal family In fact, those who once had resistance to Katrina's New Deal will soon be surrounded by young girls as beneficiaries.

Once such a situation is formed, those new beneficiaries are likely to care more about Katerina's safety than Katerina herself, so there is no risk at all.

For the relevant reasoning, because it involves a thinking mode that transcends the times, even if Katerina wants to explain it, Avril Lavigne can't accept it for a while, so the girl simply goes her own way.

"Okay, Avril Lavigne, there is no need to persuade me anymore."

At this moment, looking at the chief clerk who still wanted to continue persuading her, Katerina waved her hand, signaling that she would not change her decision, and just when Avril was about to say something with a worried face, a voice suddenly came from outside the room There was a loud noise, as if countless people were shouting in unison.

Facing the sudden movement in her ears, Katerina glanced at Avril subconsciously. On the other side, receiving the girl's gaze, Avril was just slightly taken aback, and then quickly left the study. Watching her actions, it was obvious that Going to go outside to find out what happened.

Not long after, Avril returned to the study, and at this time, the clerk's face was full of surprise,

"Your Majesty, the sword you placed on the sword altar has been pulled out!"

"how is this possible?!"

At this moment, upon hearing the news brought back by Avril Lavigne, Katerina's eyes widened instinctively, as if she had heard something incredible.

The reason why the girl reacted like this at this time is very simple. The matter of drawing a sword to win a thousand gold is essentially a political propaganda show arranged by her. In order to maximize the propaganda effect, this event was set up to dark box".

There is a magic circle under the sword altar. The function of the magic circle is to lock the sword on the sword altar to the sword altar. The traction force generated by the magic circle is as high as [-] tons!

There is a limit to the power of human beings. Even among those special people who possess extraordinary power, it is very rare for people whose ultimate power output exceeds two tons. As for the power output of more than [-] tons... ...This kind of terrifying power that can even lift early tanks is theoretically impossible for a fragile human structure.

But now, someone has done such an extremely unscientific thing.

Regarding this, Katerina couldn't help feeling that her common sense had been challenged, but soon, the unbelievable feeling in the girl's heart turned into a strong interest, and she suddenly wanted to see who could have such terrifying power.

Chapter 183 179. The Blood in My Heart

"....... Will they really give me the gold?"

At the same time, on the sword altar outside the palace, Samo looked at the crowd around the sword altar like a dark night forest blown by the wind. After swallowing, she turned to look at the crowd standing beside her. Benoit next to him, instinctively reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, and once again raised the question that has been mentioned several times,

"What if they, like you, don't keep their promises?"

On the other side, Benoit, who heard Summer's inquiry and felt the pain from his shoulder, was staring at the gate of the palace, had to turn back to appease his companion.

"Please, my dear Miss Summer, you are my ancestor now!"

"I've asked so many times, aren't you tired?"

After cautiously looking around, Benoit rubbed his shoulders and said angrily,

"I've said it all, trust me, when have I ever lied to you...... Well, well, at least what happened this time is absolutely true."

"If you think about it a little bit, you will know that you pulled out your sword in front of so many people, and the guards guarding the sword altar around you didn't 'invite' you to other places, allowing you to accept people's eyes here, Calculating the time, it is estimated that the entire Gorado has already known the news here."

"What does this explain? It shows that Her Majesty the Queen obviously intends to let people know about this matter, and even hopes that as many people know about it, the better!"

"There is a saying among nobles called 'credibility is the life of a noble'. Although this sentence is not very reliable in many cases, once the matter is put on the bright side, this sentence becomes the truth and is absolute. Irreversible."

"So, you don't have to worry at all. At least in this matter, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely keep her promise."

"But......" After listening to Benoit's speech, Summer was still a little worried, but he was slightly relieved.However, it didn't take long before this burly bear-like woman seemed to suddenly remember something, and her expression suddenly became nervous. Then, she was like a child who had done something wrong, her voice slightly Embarrassed, he opened his mouth again,

"But when I drew my sword, I accidentally stepped on the sword altar. They won't make me pay for it?"

Hearing Samo's inquiry, Benoit glanced in a certain direction subconsciously. What he saw was a small and dilapidated ruin. It was originally a sword altar made of granite and full of classical artistic flavor. But now, it has turned into a horrible appearance.

"Do not worry.........."

After "touching the scene", recalling the horrific scene created by his companion just when he drew his sword, Benoit couldn't help grinning, but soon, the flattering smile returned to his face.

"Since one thousand gold coins can be given, what is a mere sword altar? I believe Her Majesty the Queen will not care about this."

"Besides, even if you really need to pay, the thousand gold coins are enough to build another sword altar. So it doesn't matter, don't worry too much about it."

On the other hand, for Benoit’s consolation, when he first heard the first half of the speech, Summer could still accept it, but after hearing the second half of the speech, especially when she heard that she might need compensation, Summer again She couldn't keep her calm anymore, she stared at her eyes, the skin on her face, which had become dark and dry due to long-term exposure to the sun, forcibly extruded a grievous arc between her brows,

"But I really didn't do it on purpose, why must I pay for it!"

At this moment, Summer, who was both irritable and wronged in her heart, pinched Benoit's shoulder subconsciously. She tried to argue for herself, as if she could avoid the responsibility of destroying the sword world, and for the grievance shown by Summer, Benoit only one response......

"Let go! Let go!"

"Shoulders are going to be broken!"

Feeling the severe pain from his shoulder, Benoit grinned in pain, wailed loudly, and struggled to break free from Samo's hands. However, facing Samo's terrifying power comparable to a monster, he The struggle is so powerless, and in the end she can only be forced to accompany Summer to feel the grievance in her heart.

Fortunately, Benoit's shoulder was finally saved. Just when he felt that his shoulder was about to lose consciousness, there was a burst of brisk music around him. Then, the gate of the palace opened slowly, and a man dressed in luxurious clothes The team walked out of the palace slowly with solemn steps.

At the same time, the force exerted on Benoit's shoulders suddenly loosened, and after feeling the disappearance of the force that bound him, Benoit clutched his shoulders without thinking, and crawled away from where Summer was. .

Afterwards, after confirming that there was nothing serious about his shoulder, Benoit, who had lingering fear, wanted to curse a few words subconsciously, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a murmur,

"so beautiful.............."

Benoit, who faintly tasted a hint of admiration for the murmurs that passed into his ears, instinctively looked back at his companion, and then he found that the female warrior who had always behaved rudely in front of him, now Shi's expression seemed a little sluggish, and his whole behavior suddenly became cramped.

Seeing this, Benoit couldn't help being surprised, and then subconsciously looked at the direction that Summer was staring at, and when he glanced over, he couldn't look away anymore... .........

It was mid-morning at this time, and the sky was clear and transparent after being washed by the heavy rain. The sun hanging high in the sky sprinkled thousands of golden rays of light, illuminating the world with brilliance, and in this light, a girl with tea hair stepped on The dignified steps come slowly.

I saw the young girl's appearance was beautiful, her teeth were bright and her eyes were bright, her skin glowed with a soft luster like the finest suet jade. At first glance, the young girl looked like a delicate flower bathed in the spring light, waiting for someone to lighten her. Take it lightly.

However, when the crown on the girl's head smashed through the golden tassels, the positions of the two sides gradually approached. It disappeared, and turned into a majestic aura as heavy and tenacious as a ten thousand zhang mountain.

These two diametrically opposed temperaments should not have appeared in the same person, but at this moment they complement each other incomparably harmoniously in the girl, and finally evolved into a strange, thrilling contradictory beauty.

Facing a beautiful girl with such temperament, even the crown prince of the empire, who is used to seeing beauties from all walks of life, couldn't stop.

"Who are you waiting for?"

Finally, when a burst of emotional inquiry sounded here, Benoit, who was in a daze, quickly woke up, and then, realizing the current situation, he quickly lowered his head and straightened out the old clothes on his body Finally, he prepared to respond to the girl's question in accordance with etiquette.

However, before Benoit could consider the etiquette terms clearly, he heard a burst of emotion from beside him, which was obviously from the heart, but seemed careless......

"You are so beautiful!"

"A hundred times more beautiful than the most beautiful woman in our tribe!"

The voice fell, and the audience was silent.

At this moment, looking at the weird expressions on the faces of the servants around him, Benoit who was standing aside wanted to sew Summer's mouth shut immediately, but soon he realized that no matter from which angle, this is One thing he couldn't do at all, in the end he could only bow his head in annoyance, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

On the other hand, as the object of praise, Katerina was stunned for a long time, because she had been in the small circle of nobles all these years, and the girl hadn't heard such simple and straightforward praise for a long time, and the information in her mind was a bit blurry for a while. Can't handle it.
