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

"Mother, do you really intend to die like this?"

"Have you ever wondered how Wallon and Diana felt?"

"Diana is already 10 years old, and she will face her own marriage in another 6 years. If you choose to die, then in the palace of marriage, she will be criticized for your suicide."

"And Waron, before I came back, that guy was using a hunger strike to resist his father. He was doing his best to protect you, and your non-resistance made all his efforts a joke!"

"Don't you want to personally escort Diana into the palace of marriage?"

"Don't you want to watch with your own eyes that Volon takes over the power of the Duke's Mansion from the old man and becomes the new owner of the Aldan family?"

"Don't you want to feel the joy of being full of children and grandchildren when you are old?"

"There are still so many beautiful things in this world. You haven't experienced anything yet, so you choose to die silently. Are you really willing?"

At this moment, listening to the girl's stern questions, sparkles gathered in the eyes of the Duchess, and finally, like a flood bursting an embankment, the Duchess, who could no longer bear the pain in her heart, covered her eyes. face, and then wept emotionally,

"Woooooo~~, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die!"

"But I can't—!"

"I'm already a worthless woman!"

"If I don't die, my children will be hurt. Those enemies of the Aaron family will not let me go. They will definitely use me to attack my children. As long as I live, my children will not Have a good time!"

"I must die, woo woo woo~~"

At this moment, hearing the cries of the Duchess' emotional collapse, the girl did not speak again, but pulled the Duchess into her arms forcefully. Immediately, the girl quietly gathered a trace of magic power, and then poked her head into the Duchess's chest. In the ear, with a voice mixed with spiritual hints, said faintly,

"Cry, mother~, don't hide any grievances in your heart, just cry out."

"Although your husband doesn't want to lend you a shoulder, but with me... there is no problem~~"

At this moment, facing the girl's method of persuading her to cry, the duchess, who was already extremely psychologically fragile, couldn't bear it. After struggling for a while at first, the poor woman grabbed the girl's skirt and burst into tears.

These days, the Duchess has endured too much grievance and pressure, but her identity and upbringing do not allow her to show any vulnerability. She can only struggle alone in the dark world. Like a ray of sunshine in the darkness, it completely pierced through the defenses in her heart, making her finally willing to put aside all worries and cry aloud.

And in this cry, the negative emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally released.

After a long time, the crying in the room gradually weakened, and there were only bursts of choked sobs left in the girl's arms. Feeling the changes in her arms, the girl gently held the Duchess's face in her arms, and then stared closely at the Duchess's glowing red lips. eyes said,

"Mother, I said before, don't think that you are an adult, you should take everything for granted, and occasionally... you must learn to rely on your children."

"We are family after all~"

Having said that, the girl gently wiped away the tears for the Duchess, and then spoke again in a firm tone,

"Mother, I swear to you with my most cherished thing... The Aaron family will not perish!"

"Trust me, when the light of dawn breaks through the darkness, I will triumphantly return with the news of victory, and insert the miracle flower into your hair, and you need to promise me...... ..”

As she spoke, the girl held the duchess's hands in front of her chest, and then stared very seriously at the pair of teary eyes in front of her,

"Please don't give up hope, please don't belittle your own life, please don't let all my hard work...become a joke."

ps: Changing the world requires motivation. Fighting for the people is quite a later part of the plot. The protagonist has not yet achieved such a high level of awareness. Now let’s fight for his family first.

Chapter 58 55. The way to break the game!

Three days later, outside the door of the library of the Duke's Mansion, the maid Celia was holding a tall stack of paper documents, leaning against the door of the room with difficulty, and after stretching out her foot to open the door of the room, she cautiously Stepping out towards the depths of the room.

And after passing through the three bookshelves in the room, Celia finally saw the goal of her trip... the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, Katerina.

At this moment, the girl was almost buried in the hill of countless books. Hundreds of books were randomly piled up beside her, as if they were in danger of collapsing at any time, and the girl was in this book. Surrounded by mountains, he was holding a thick document in his hand, reading it with full concentration by the light provided by the magic lamp nearby.

Seeing the appearance of her young lady, Celia couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so after putting the book aside, she walked to the girl and said in a low voice,

"Miss, I have already found the information you want. There are a lot of information, and I can't read them all in a while. Why don't you take a rest first~"

Hearing Celia's voice, the girl was in a daze for a moment, then rubbed her bloodshot eyes, stretched her waist, and said in a shy voice,

"Well, I see, let's put the materials there first."

Having said that, looking at Celia who was staring at her with concern, the girl smiled casually,

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Don't forget, I'm a magician. When I was learning magic before, it's not like I didn't stay up all night. This tiredness is nothing to me."

"But you haven't had a good rest for three days. Even when you were learning magic, you haven't been so tired. If you continue like this, your body will be exhausted...... .”

Seria quickly refuted the girl's remarks, but before she could finish speaking, the girl interrupted with her hand,

"Enough, I'm fine!"

The voice sounded, and there was a moment of silence in the library, and it seemed that she realized that her tone just now was too harsh, after the girl took a deep breath, she spoke again in a soft voice,

"Okay, Celia, don't worry, I'm really fine."

As she spoke, she glanced at Celia who wanted to continue admonishing her, the girl blinked, and then asked in a gentle but unquestionable tone,

"Could you pour me a cup of coffee?"

Faced with such a reaction from the girl, Celia opened her mouth involuntarily, and finally turned around and left the library after paying a salute.

On the other side, watching Celia's leaving back, the girl rubbed her temples helplessly.If possible, of course she also wants to take a good rest. In the past three days, her sleep time is less than 6 hours. You have to work very hard to stimulate your spirit with magic power to ensure that you don't fall asleep.

However, even though she is very tired, the girl still can't rest now, because she has no time. The information from the Aaron family has become less and less optimistic. The girl has to race against time to find a break way.

What the girl is currently doing is collecting information. This is an extremely tedious and boring job, but it is of great significance.

Any decision is inseparable from the support of intelligence. Decision makers must make decisions based on solid intelligence, otherwise it is a blind gamble, and the world never favors gamblers. Those who like to gamble on the luck of the country have never had a good end .

In the same way, if the girl wants to solve the troubles of the Aaron family, she must have enough intelligence support, which is why the current scene occurs.

However, originally this job should not be done by the decision-maker, the girl. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the times, the current world has not yet formed a systematic intelligence theory, and most people's cognition of intelligence work is still at the On the basis of sending spies and undercover agents to spy on each other's confidential information.

Few people realize that by summarizing massive amounts of information, they can also obtain the intelligence they need, and it is more accurate. Regarding this point, even Duke Aldan, who is well-established in the city, is not immune.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for the girl to find a qualified intelligence worker, so she can only do it herself.

Fortunately, when she was a government servant in her previous life, the girl was seconded by other departments and handled similar matters. She is no stranger to the current job. The only trouble is that she has no one to help her, so she can only figure out her own way .

"weird~~"

After dismissing her maid, the girl started working again. At this moment, she was staring at the document in her hand, frowning tightly, as if she had encountered some difficulty.

At this moment, what the girl was reading was a report on naval battles. The two parties to the war were the Navy of the Pusid Empire and the Fleet of the Kingdom of Burros. In fact, there is not much difference, and there is not much difference in the strategic level of the commanders of the two sides.

It stands to reason that in such a battle between two large armed groups, no matter which side wins, it will inevitably kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, but the outcome is that the fleet of the Kingdom of Burros beat the Pusid Empire Navy.

And what's even more weird is that in the military report in the girl's hand, when describing the reasons for the victory of the Burros Kingdom's fleet, the emphasis was not on how wise the commander was, how powerful the battleship was, or how talented the soldiers were. Bravery, but emphasizing that the Pusid Empire disrespected the gods and was disgusted by the gods, so it was cursed by the devil in the naval battle, which eventually led to the defeat.

Such a situation is really hard for the girl to understand.

For example, after the peninsula war in the girl's previous life, in the summary of the war report of the US imperialist army reflecting on why it did not win, it was taken for granted that the Chinese army's infantry tactics, troop organization and weaponry composition were not discussed. It is an extremely irresponsible operation to think that the Chinese people can control magic with their minds, which is why they suffered defeat.

Such fantasy plots may appear in the film and television works of some artists whose ideas are divorced from the people and reality, but in the official reports of the US imperialist army, it is absolutely impossible to describe their opponents in this way.

Now, however, this weird plot is happening in reality.

What the girl is currently reading is a very formal war report, but it is in such an official document that it describes in detail how the soldiers of the Pusid Empire were stripped of their souls by the devil because of disrespect for the gods, and eventually their bodies corrupted and died .

For a young girl, this description is too weird.

"Miss, the coffee you want~"

At this moment, when the girl was deep in thought, she suddenly heard the call of the maid Celia. After hearing the sound, the girl turned her head and looked at Celia instinctively.

And after receiving the coffee from Celia, the girl who was still frowning was just about to speak. For some reason, she suddenly asked her maid as if talking to herself,

"Selia, do you believe that there are devils in this world?"

devil?

At this moment, Celia was instinctively stunned when she heard the girl's sudden question, as if she didn't understand why the girl asked this question suddenly.

Originally, Celia wanted to give an answer according to the normal dialogue mode, but after noticing the girl's serious expression, Celia suddenly hesitated.

As a close person who has followed the girl for more than a year, Celia naturally knows how disrespectful her eldest lady is towards the gods. Not only is she contemptuous in words, but often the girl is too lazy to maintain her superficial skills.

The most obvious point is that since the girl entered the Duke's mansion, Celia has never seen her eldest lady go to church.

Seria can actually understand this point. After all, the girl is a magician, and the magician knows the bottom line of the church very well because of his extraordinary power, so that he generally doesn't respect the church's attitude. There are many people who call the church people hypocrites, but it's just that the girls are more obvious.

And it was precisely because of this that Celia didn't dare to answer casually at this time.

You must know that the devil is a monster described in the holy scriptures of the church, but there is no corresponding thing in reality, but because the devil described in the holy scriptures has always been an existence that stands in opposition to the gods, so it is necessary to deny the devil , itself is denying the gods.

It stands to reason that Celia should admit the existence of the devil without hesitation. After all, as a personal maid, she has an obligation not to let the girl's thinking become more "extreme".

However, after seeing the girl's expression at this moment, Celia realized very clearly that the girl was seriously discussing the objective fact of the existence of the devil with herself, and because of certain experiences, Celia herself was not Believe in the existence of the devil.

So, facing the girl's question, Celia didn't know how to answer for a while, no matter whether the answer was yes or no, it seemed inappropriate.

Finally, after thinking about it carefully, Celia gritted her teeth and said,

"Miss, there is such a thing as a devil...maybe there is, but I've never seen one."

Naturally, it is impossible for the girl to know Celia's inner thoughts. After listening to her answer, the girl murmured thoughtfully,

"Since you say so, then the devil should be something illusory~"

"But why did the report say that the soldiers of the Pusid Empire were cursed by the devil to death?"

Hearing the girl's muttering, Celia subconsciously glanced at the report in the girl's hand, and after noticing some key words, she smiled as if relieved,

"It turns out that Miss is researching this. I know this. The so-called devil's curse is actually just a legend of sailors at sea."

"I once went to sea with my father and brothers. According to the sailors on the ship, if a person stays at sea for a long time, he will be targeted by the devil and be cursed."

"I've seen people cursed by the devil. They look really miserable. After being cursed by the devil, those people will gradually lose all their strength and become extremely weak, and they can't even stand up."

"Afterwards, purple scars will appear on the skin of many parts of these people's bodies. Soon, their mouths will start to smell, their gums will gradually rot, and even the roots of their teeth will all fall off. It starts to rot and fall off, and then dies a miserable death."

Having said that, looking at the girl whose expression is becoming more and more weird, thinking that her description scared her lady, Celia quickly changed the subject, and said in a gentle tone,

"But don't be afraid, miss. Although this curse is terrible, it is very easy to remove. If the curse is not deep, basically you just need to stay on the shore for a few more days and you will get better."

"Some therapists even think that the so-called devil's curse is actually a disease..."

"Scurvy!" The next moment, before Celia finished speaking, the girl clapped her hands excitedly as if she had made some important discovery.

Immediately afterwards, Celia saw her eldest lady, her eyes were extremely bright and she cheered at herself,
