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

After hearing the girl's answer, the Duke's expression darkened slightly, then he shook his head and said with emotion,

"You look more and more like your mother."

After all, without waiting for the girl to respond, the Duke suddenly took out a scroll from the drawer of the desk, and handed it to the girl.

"I know you don't want to have more contact with me, so let's get right to the point. I've called you this time because I have something to tell you."

"You have been in the Duke's Mansion for more than half a year. I heard from the nuns that you have finished all your etiquette courses, and then you can officially enter the social circle."

"This is the admission letter from the Royal College of Florida. Prepare yourself. The college will start in half a month, so you can report there."

At this point, looking at the young girl who already had an unruly expression on her face, the Duke took a step forward and continued,

"Don't rush to refuse, just listen to me."

"I know that you have always wanted to go to the Qiyao Magic Academy in the Pusid Empire. The Royal Academy in Florida was modeled after the Qiyao Magic Academy. The two are similar in every way."

"Although the books collected in the Royal Academy are not as exaggerated as the [-] volumes in the Qiyao Magic Academy library, there are still [-] to [-] volumes, and many of them are your favorite magic books."

"Because the Aldan family invested a lot of resources when the Royal Academy was established, as my daughter, you can read all the books in the library of the Royal Academy unconditionally."

Speaking of this, the Duke smiled softly at the girl who was in deep thought,

"How? Do you want to think about it?"

It must be admitted that the girl was really tempted by the duke's proposal. Even though she knew that after going to the Royal Academy, the duke probably arranged some kind of scheme for her, the girl still wanted to go very much.

There is no other reason, the magic books in the academy that can be read for free are what girls urgently need now.

Knowledge is power, and only with power can you control your destiny. Making yourself stronger is always the best solution to all kinds of problems, and the magic books in the college library are exactly the gift package of experience that can make girls stronger quickly.

"Okay, I see, I'll go, anything else?"

After weighing for a long time, the girl finally made a decision to obey the Duke's arrangement, and the Duke seemed very satisfied with his daughter's obedient performance, so he didn't say anything more, but when the girl was about to leave the study, he seemed to Thinking of something, he chuckled and said,

"Congratulations, Katerina, now you can walk out of the Duke's mansion in a dignified manner."

"Dignified~?"

On the other side, hearing the Duke's congratulations, the girl who had already walked to the door stopped immediately, and after turning around to look at the Duke, the girl responded coldly,

"Old man, do you think I'm the kind of person who makes a fool of himself?"

"The puppet string tied to my body is still in your hand, where is it so dignified?"

"Let's save your congratulations for now. I will translate it for you in person later. What does it mean to be dignified!"

After all, the girl left the study without looking back.

At this moment, looking at the girl's rapidly disappearing back, the Duke seemed to have another person's shadow in front of him, and when the other person's figure overlapped with the girl's back, the Duke was subconsciously stunned.After regaining consciousness, the Duke couldn't help but sighed deeply, and just as he was about to do something, the door of the study was knocked again, but this time, the door remained motionless without his permission.

"Come in."

A moment later, as the Duke's order sounded, the door was gently pushed open, and then the butler Karbas walked into the study quickly.

"My lord~, you arranged to be at Port Cross, and now I have news!"

Before and after approaching the Duke, Karbas first saluted the Duke respectfully, and then he reported to the master of his family with an extremely solemn expression,

"According to the information they passed on, just three days ago, His Excellency the Marquis of Aaron received a huge order from the Pusid Empire. The two parties have now signed an agreement. The empire provides twenty large three-masted battleships, and the total number of orders is as high as two hundred, and the delivery is expected to be completed within ten years!"

"...Karbas, you just said that the order has been signed~?" After hearing the butler's report, the duke's face was terribly cold, and facing the duke at this moment, the butler's heart ached. tight, then instinctively lowered his head,

"Yes, sir, the order was signed three days ago, and the archbishop of the church was invited as a witness."

At this moment, after the butler's voice fell, the study suddenly became deathly quiet, until after a long time, a heavy cold snort broke the tense atmosphere here,

"idiot!"

Chapter 47 45. Reinhardt

At the same time, Reinhardt West, the Crown Prince of the Empire who had just returned to the palace, was located in the imperial capital of the Pusid Empire [Bayer Nord]. Under the guidance of his attendants, he walked along the meritorious corridor covered with portraits on the walls. Quickly head towards the direction of the palace garden.

About 15 minutes later, Reinhardt arrived at his destination, and the moment he entered the entrance of the garden, the figure of an old man in Chinese clothes appeared in front of him.

At this moment, the old man is holding a handful of feed and feeding the pigeons leisurely. As the old man keeps dropping the feed, dozens of pigeons are flying up and down around the old man. The scene looks quite harmonious.

Seeing this scene, Reinhardt instinctively lightened his steps, as if he didn't want to disturb the old man's interest. However, Reinhardt's idea finally came to nothing, and the old man had already noticed his existence at this time.

"Yo, are you back already~?"

After seeing Reinhardt's figure, the old man paused slightly, then threw away the feed in his hand, asked his followers to disperse the pigeons, and waved his hand with a smile to greet him,

"I thought it would take a few days for you to come back, but I didn't expect to move so fast."

"Isn't this homesick?" Facing the old man's greeting, Reinhardt couldn't help speeding up his pace, and at the same time responded with a smile,

"Father, long time no see, your complexion looks much better than before."

"Is there anything good or bad..." Hearing Reinhardt's greeting, the old man who seemed to be his father waved his hand and said with a smile,

"It's just a day to live."

"It's you..." Speaking of this, the old man looked Reinhardt up and down, and then said leisurely,

"The whole person looks much thinner. Why, did you suffer in Florida?"

"It's okay~" Hearing the old man's question, Reinhardt touched the back of his head with a tired face, and then he said haha.

"Actually, I didn't suffer much, but I really can't stand the eating habits over there."

"When I was there, I ate salted fish almost every day. Those chefs in Florida seemed to know how to cook without salted fish. These days really made my tongue a little uncomfortable."

"But everything else is fine, no trouble."

"Hey~" Hearing his son's complaint, the old man raised his eyebrows, then continued to ask with a smile,

"So things are going well?"

"Well, it's pretty smooth." Reinhardt nodded in response to the old man's question,

"The order has been signed, and the current Patriarch of the Aaron family has promised us that [-] warships will be built for the empire every year, a total of [-] ships, and will be delivered in ten years."

At this moment, after listening to Reinhardt's report, the old man couldn't help but blinked with some doubts,

"So smooth? Could it be that the leader of the Aaron family has no doubts at all? Is he really so stupid?"

"Doubt..." Hearing the old man's question, Reinhardt seemed to have thought of something ridiculous, with a sarcastic expression on his face,

"That guy named Wisno only has gold coins in his eyes. When he heard that I would buy the warship at a [-]% premium, he wanted to confess me as his ancestor. He didn't have any of the excuses he had prepared. Use it, it’s a waste of my time to arrange it.”

"It really is..........."

Speaking of this, Reinhardt didn't continue to speak, but from the expression on his face, it can be known that the next words will never be good.

In this regard, the old man first narrowed his eyes, then chuckled and said,

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, anyway, it is a good thing for the empire, which means that we can save a lot of effort."

"By the way, you made a special trip to Florida this time. What do you think of that kingdom? Is it possible to win them over to become allies of the empire?"

At this moment, Reinhardt, who had always seemed a little careless when he heard the old man's question, suddenly became serious.

"Father, that's what I'm going to say next. I don't think the Kingdom of Florida is a good ally for us."

Regarding Reinhardt's reply, the old man gave a noncommittal "hmm", and then looked at him quietly, obviously waiting for further explanation.

Seeing this, Reinhardt quickly began to explain the reasons for his opinion after considering the sentence,

"During this trip, I have been to many places in the Kingdom of Florida, and I found that the nobles in this country generally still have a perception of the world structure ten years ago, and they still think that the world is peaceful , completely unaware of the impending chaos."

"The current Kingdom of Florida, from the kings and nobles to the civilian army, is in an extremely loose state. I doubt that if something big happens casually, given the current state of mind of the people of this country, it will not be able to survive." Can't carry it through."

"In addition, I paid a private visit to the third prince of the Kingdom of Florida. Through his guidance, I roughly contacted the elites of this country, and then I found that, whether it is political or military, this country seems to have nothing Someone worth mentioning."

"Aristocrats in this country, almost all of them are more willing to focus on endless internal friction and enjoyment, and a few people with a little bit of ability are quite lack of aggressiveness."

"So, I don't think it's a wise choice to be an ally with such a country."

Having said that, Reinhardt shrugged, then shook his head and continued,

"If we really sign an alliance treaty with them, we will definitely be in bad luck."

"When the chaos begins, they won't be able to help them. We have to send troops to protect them. Instead of finding such an ally, I'd rather the empire fight alone."

After listening to Reinhardt's reason, the old man raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked calmly,

"However, if they join our enemy's camp, wouldn't we have another opponent?"

"Hehe, enemy~?" In response to the old man's rhetorical question, the corner of Reinhardt's mouth raised a mocking arc,

"Just by those guys from the Kingdom of Florida?"

"Believe me, father, they don't have the guts. Even if they are so stupid, the empire only needs to send a random legion to wipe out their army with ease."

Seeing that Reinhardt had reached this point in his words, the old man didn't continue to ask, but just sighed with emotion,

"This is such a pity. It is rare that there is a country on the mainland that is not hostile to us......"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." After sighing, the old man suddenly looked at Reinhardt with a mocking face, and then said with a strange smile,

"Now we should talk about your marriage. Ever since you sneaked away from the palace, the ministers have been making trouble with me every day, saying that you are the only legal heir to the empire, and you are going everywhere without any heirs." Running around is irresponsible to the empire."

"How about it, should you do something so that the ministers don't bother me?"

At this moment, faced with his father's urging marriage, Reinhardt, who had previously looked like he was holding Zhizhu, suddenly lost his expression,

"Father, can you stop talking about this?"

"I get a headache when I see those women. They know how to play some cheap tricks that can be seen through in front of us every day, and they can't make sense at all, or they are just like wooden people. Putting a woman like that around me, I think I'm going crazy."

"But you are the crown prince of the empire after all, so you can't always be alone like this." Facing his son's complaint, the old man said with a relaxed face,

"Why don't you go to a few more balls, maybe you can meet the girl you like?"

"Can you not go~?" Regarding the old man's proposal, Reinhardt curled his lips helplessly,

"As long as I participate in every ball, it will eventually become a concubine selection scene. I am really annoyed by the various shady methods of those women."

After hearing his son's reasons, the old man blinked his eyes, then nodded thoughtfully,
