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

"Why should I trap myself in a small ducal mansion?"

"The most precious thing for a person is life, and everyone has only one life, I think, a person's life should be spent like this......"

"When my youth is gone, when I am old, when I lie in the coffin, looking back, I will not regret for wasting my life, nor will I be ashamed for being inactive, when I am on the verge of life and death At this moment, I can declare to the world without regret: 'I have been, I have witnessed, I exist!'”

When the girl's voice fell, the atmosphere became extremely silent in an instant. The Duke's son Volon suddenly became speechless, and Diana on the side also forgot to cry. The two looked at the girl who seemed to be glowing together. Can't speak.

"But..." Finally, Diana was the first to break the silence. She raised her small face and looked at her sister with a complicated expression, then said in a whisper,

"But sister, you can't leave at all~"

"You carry the most noble blood of the Aldan family, and your father will never allow you to run away from home."

Facing the girl's admonition, the girl smiled and touched her little sister's head, then explained her firm will in a calm tone,

"A cage can trap a bird, but not a dragon!"

"Hehe, then you have to be a dragon......"

At this moment, when the girl was expounding her will, a strange and familiar voice suddenly sounded, which shocked all three people present, and when everyone subconsciously looked at the source of the voice, , found that the Duke of Aldan accompanied his wife, who did not know when he appeared in front of everyone.

Facing the sudden appearance of the Duke and Duchess, Diana and Wallon almost instinctively stood up and saluted their parents. Only the girl remained motionless, with a cold glint in her eyes... …

Chapter 40 38. A new round of confrontation

"Carter, Wallon, Diana, you are all here~"

At this moment, looking at Wallon and Diana who were saluting to him, Duke Aldan waved his hand slightly and said with a smile,

"It seems that the relationship between you is quite good."

"This is very good. The most important thing among family members is to be harmonious. Seeing you are so close, I feel relieved."

After a brief greeting, Duke Aldan turned his attention to his eldest daughter, but at this time, the girl holding the magic book didn't seem to raise her head at all, as if she didn't notice such a big move by the Duke at all. people.

Regarding this, the Duke did not speak, but just stared at the girl silently. Suddenly, the atmosphere on the field became extremely oppressive.

"Cough cough~~"

Finally, unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, the duke's son Volon, standing beside the girl, clenched his hands into fists and coughed heavily, trying to remind the girl what to do now. However, the girl Still didn't look up.

After Diana also joined in, the girl finally reacted to her sister who was praying. She touched the girl's head, sighed softly, and then closed the magic book and glanced at it. He glanced at the duke, and then, a voice of ridicule that was so irritating that people would not pay their lives was leisurely introduced into everyone's ears,

"Oh, old man, so you are still alive~"

"Oh, this is a regrettable thing."

Being greeted by his eldest daughter, Duke Aldan couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, but he didn't show any anger, but after glancing at the girl, he turned his eyes to his other two children.

"Warron, Diana, you two go back with your mother first."

"When I visited your uncle's house this time, your mother was wronged because of some things. Please help me to comfort your mother and put her in a good mood."

At this moment, the Duke's face was obviously smiling, but the words he said were unquestionable, and the majesty of being the head of the Aldan family was fully displayed in the words.

If it was the past, no one would dare to question the Duke's order, but now, after hearing his father's words, the brother and sister did not directly obey the order, but subconsciously looked at the girl behind them until they saw the girl After gesticulating with their eyes, the two of them left here together with their mother.

On the other side, Duke Aldan, who saw all this in his eyes, stared at the girl more and more deeply. After his wife and children walked away, he suddenly looked at the girl thoughtfully. open the mouth,

"It seems that your relationship is really good~"

"Yes~" Regarding the Duke's question, the girl who also lost her scruples because of the absence of outsiders slowly stood up, and after patting the dust off her body, she looked at the Duke provocatively.

"I'm very sorry, I disappointed you by not having a conflict with that silly boy, please rest assured, I will continue to work hard to disappoint you even more in the future."

Facing the girl's provocation, the Duke didn't answer, but after looking the girl up and down, he suddenly said,

"At first, I thought that when you first entered the Duke's Mansion, you would be very uncomfortable in life, but now it seems that you have easily completed the integration."

"Then how about it, starting tomorrow, I will let the nanny give you special training in etiquette, and try to complete the basic etiquette course within a month."

"In a month's time, there will be an autumn hunting event in the capital, and I will use that event to bring you into the social circle of the kingdom. You should prepare well."

"I said......" Listening to the Duke's words, the girl slowly put down the book in her hand, then narrowed her eyes slightly,

"Can you stop talking to yourself, why do you think I will agree to participate in that bloody autumn hunt?"

"Hehe, I'm really sorry, I think it's pretty good to live here, and I don't plan to move for the time being."

"On the day of the autumn hunting, I will arrange someone to lift the magic seal for you..." Aldan looked at the girl who put on a "I have the guts to tie me there". The Duke smiled slightly, and then said calmly,

"I think, with your personality, you probably don't want to wear the seal all the time."

At this moment, when the Duke said that he wanted to lift the magic seal for herself, the girl's eyes flashed, and then she raised her eyebrows and asked,

"I hear what you mean... are you planning to untie my dog ​​from the leash?"

"Why did you make such a decision suddenly? Aren't you afraid that I will run away if the seal is gone?"

"You're a smart girl~" The Duke responded calmly to the girl's question,

"After coming to the Duke's Mansion for so many days, I think you should already understand what your bloodline means, so I believe you will make the right choice......"

"No!" The next moment, before the Duke finished speaking, the girl interrupted with a cold face,

"You can do whatever you want, I won't go, this is my choice!"

At this moment, seeing the girl's refusal so decisively, the Duke didn't get angry, but stared at the girl thoughtfully for a moment, then he suddenly said,

"You've found a way to break the seal, haven't you?"

After the words fell, the girl's body froze slightly, and then she pretended to be helpless and covered her forehead. When she looked at the Duke again, the girl sighed with a smile on her face,

"Old man, why is your dog's nose so good?"

"Why don't you stop being a duke and let me introduce you to a new job?"

Facing the girl's almost insulting words, the Duke was not only not angry, but said with emotion with a smile,

"As expected of my daughter, the talent is amazing......"

"Don't, don't, don't~~" Before the Duke finished expressing his emotions, the girl seemed to be frightened, and she waved her palm exaggeratedly.

"Don't put on such an appearance. This identity has always been my nightmare. If you say that, I won't be able to sleep at night."

Speaking of this, the girl suddenly looked at the Duke with her chest folded, and then put on a rogue attitude,

"Well, I admit, I did find a way to break the seal."

"So you should understand, old man, now I don't need to be coerced by you at all, if you are capable, you can tie me there~"

"That's it..." Looking at the girl with a face of "what can you do to me", the Duke blinked, and then smiled lightly,

"I thought you would care about Diana and Wallon very much. It turns out that your relationship is not as good as I thought."

"...What does it have to do with them?" At this moment, facing the somewhat inexplicable words suddenly uttered by the Duke, the calmness on the girl's face finally couldn't hold back any longer. After a moment of silence, the girl stared at the Duke firmly, and asked sternly,

"As the two of them, who dares to trouble them? Is there anyone who dares to despise you, an old man?"

"Hehe~" Hearing the girl's question, the Duke could not help but smile,

"Katrina, do I still have a lot of status in your heart?"

At this point, looking at the girl whose face was getting colder and colder, the Duke shook his head and said,

"Don't worry, it's not a security issue. At least in the Kingdom of Florida, no one has dared to provoke the Aldan family."

"It's just that this autumn hunt was organized by members of the royal family. The Aldan family is not the most prominent person, but now everyone is very interested in you. If you don't go, Wolong and Diana may become the focus. At that time, the two of them may be in some trouble."

"Huh~~" After hearing what the Duke said, the girl let out a long breath, then she took up the magic book in her hand and walked straight up to the Duke. After staring deeply at the Duke, the girl stared at him. Looking into the Duke's eyes, he said,

"Is this also in your calculation?"

"Old man, I have to admit that you are the best person I've ever met who knows how to manipulate people's hearts, not one of them, but......"

"You keep calculating like this, and treat everyone like pawns, so you don't worry at all..."

"Aren't you worried that there won't even be a single flower on your grave after you die?!"

At this moment, after the girl's voice fell, the Duke, who had maintained a calm posture, finally showed a crack in his expression.

There is such a tradition in this world that after the elders pass away, the younger generations will send flowers in front of the elders’ graves, hoping that the elders’ souls will rest in peace. The girl’s words just combined with her context are like cursing the Duke’s wife and children, his family is broken, and he will die alone. , the soul can never rest in peace after death.Coupled with the girl's special status, these words spit out from the girl's mouth are very lethal.

"Need I remind you?" However, despite facing such almost curse words, the Duke recovered in the shortest time, and then he smiled calmly at the girl,

"My wife and I have a very good relationship, and we have both sons and daughters, the worst thing... isn't there you?"

"So it shouldn't fall to that point."

"Hmph!" The girl snorted heavily at the Duke's words, and then, without saying goodbye to the Duke, the girl turned and left with her book in her arms.

On the other side, looking at the back of the girl when she left, the Duke sighed deeply, then he turned his head suddenly, and after glancing at the butler who appeared behind him at some point, the Duke ordered in a calm tone,

"Go and find out who Katerina has seen recently?"

"I can't understand her character very well. Whenever she is wronged, she can hold grudges for several years. She definitely doesn't have the patience to cultivate a relationship with her brother. Someone must be teaching her."

"Go find that person and bring him to me."

"I'm curious as to who is so interested in my family affairs."

ps: Today's chapter has been updated

Chapter 41 Chapter 39

One month later, it was late autumn, and on the outskirts of [Northani], the royal capital of the Kingdom of Florida, an autumn hunting event was in full swing.

If the Harvest Festival is the most important festival for commoners every year, then Autumn Hunting is an important annual social event for nobles. Gather to the royal capital, and then start the carnival belonging to the nobles.

Like the Harvest Festival, Autumn Hunting also carries multiple functions among the nobles. During this period, the nobles will take the opportunity to complete information exchanges, business cooperation, political alliances, and even the delineation of in-laws.Every year on this day, the outskirts of the capital are always particularly lively, and this year's autumn hunting is somewhat different from previous years. As for why it is different, a considerable part of the reason can be attributed to the incident of the girl being welcomed back to the Aldan family.

The aristocratic circle is not big, and if something happens in a family, it will soon be known to the whole world, and a prominent family like Aldan, which stands at the apex of the aristocracy, has countless pairs of eyes watching it all the time.

As a result, the fact that the girl was accepted by the Aldan family as an illegitimate daughter was soon known to all the nobles in the Kingdom of Florida.
