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

"They?" Hearing what Katerina said, Arlo looked at the fish killers in the distance again with a puzzled face.

"They are just a group of fish killers, what's the use of looking for them?"

Facing Arlo's doubts, the girl first smiled lightly, and then said to Arlo in a very serious tone,

"They are not fish killers. Fish killers are just a side job for them to make ends meet."

"You are looking carefully, are you sure you really don't know these people?"

Hearing what Katerina said, Arlo was full of doubts, and once again looked at the fish killers in the distance, but this time, after a while, it seemed as if he suddenly noticed something, Arlo His expression suddenly changed, his brows were full of anger,

"I remembered, it's them!"

"Those guys are a disgrace to the Kingdom's Second Fleet, a group of shameful cowards who abandoned their lord and fled!"

At this moment, seeing Arlo's fierce reaction, Katerina was silent for a moment, then grabbed Arlo's shoulder, and said in a stern tone,

"Who told you they were cowards?"

"Do you still need to be said!" At this moment, Arlo seemed to be dazzled by emotions. Even though he was held down by the girl on the shoulder and could not move, he still responded stubbornly,

"My father, my elder brother, and many elders I knew all died at sea, but those guys came back unscathed......"

"So you think they are cowards?" Before Arlo could finish speaking, the girl interrupted unceremoniously,

"Use your brain!"

"If they were really cowards who fled privately, why did they come back after your father died in battle?"

"Don't forget, they are a very good navy. No matter which side they turn to, they will have a good future. In the worst case, they can directly take the ship to be pirates at sea, or sell the ship to settle in other countries. Either option is definitely better than coming back and being humiliated by you."

"But they still came back...why?!"

At this moment, after listening to Katerina's questioning, Arlo, who was still furious, gradually calmed down, and after calming down, he soon found that he could not answer the girl's question. There are many contradictions.

Seeing that Arlo was no longer violent, Katerina exhaled slightly, and then continued in a light tone,

"There is one thing I must tell you. Before going to the Marquis's Mansion, I came here for no other reason than to recruit these soldiers who were abandoned by the Aaron family."

"But do you know, no matter what conditions I offer, none of these fighters are willing to join me. They would rather hide here and kill fish for a living."

"Arlo, you are a smart boy, you should know why."

Having said this, the girl let go of the palm that clamped Arlo's shoulder, then stared at his eyes, and persuaded in a deep tone,

"Arlo, I know that your father's death has caused you great pain, but you can't be influenced by your emotions."

"You have to be clear, your enemy is the big pirate Kahneman who intends to kill the grass, not these loyalists who swear to follow the Aaron family."

"They are the sharpest long swords of the Aaron family, and the most solid shield of the Aaron family. Because of their existence, the enemies of the Aaron family will be afraid, vigilant, and respect the Aaron family. Once they're gone......."

"Arlo, think about what just happened, why do you think you are so powerless?"

"If you are smart enough, what you should do now is to forgive them, tolerate them, give them back the honor that was deprived of by the Aaron family, let them return to the Aaron family again, and fight for the Aaron family. war!"

At this moment, after hearing the girl's words, Arlo's attitude finally became a little loose, but there was still a look of embarrassment between his brows,

"But my uncle said..."

"Don't be so!" The next moment, before Arlo could open his mouth, Katerina persuaded with righteous words, with words full of spiritual strength,

"You are the heir of the Aaron family, why should you listen to the opinion of an inexplicable guy, you should have your own opinion!"

At this point, Katerina seemed to have remembered something, and continued coldly,

"Think about what happened to your mother just now. If you have an army in your hand, would those people dare to treat you like this?"

Finally, after Katerina mentioned what happened to the Marquise, Arlo seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Katerina with a firm face,

"Miss Katerina, thank you very much for reminding me, I think I know what to do~~"

After all, I saw this 13-year-old boy, clenched the long sword around his waist, and walked towards the fish killing ground without looking back.

On the other side, looking at Arlo's back, Katerina couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, the first link in her plan-controlling military power is finally about to be completed.

As for whether Arlo can subdue the remnants of the Second Fleet, Katerina has no doubts at all, because she has already been here before going to the Marquis's Mansion, and everything has already been arranged. It's just a formality.

Relying on the information of the Aldan family, the girl knew what had happened to the remnants of the Second Fleet long before she arrived at Port Cross, and she took subduing the remnants as the first step of her plan.

The principle of political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Katerina, who was a government servant in her previous life, is very clear about this. From the very beginning, she knew very clearly that without a strong army, no matter what plan you make It was a flower in the mirror of the moon in the water, so the remnants of the Second Fleet came into the girl's sight.

Originally, Katerina thought it would be very easy to recruit this army. After all, due to various reasons, this army has been abandoned by their former masters. Not only is there no guarantee of life, but they even have to bear the humiliation of reputation .

According to Katerina's expectation, after seeing her, the other party should accept her head and bow down. However, the fact is that this remnant army showed the girl what a loyal person is, and they would rather hide in the slums by killing fish. To survive, he would rather bear the criticism of public opinion than accept the recruitment of young girls.

In desperation, Katerina had to find a way to push the heir of the Aaron family to the foreground, and then there was the current scene.

Everything is for gaining military power!

Chapter 66 63. The old line of the Navy

Not long after Arlo left, there were exclamations one after another from the direction of the killing field, and after seeing the commotion not far away, Katerina stretched boredly. Putting down the arm that was raised above the head, I heard a flat-toned accusation coming from my ear,

"Miss, here is the street, there are many strange people, for your reputation, please pay attention to your appearance~"

"Huh~" At this moment, faced with such an accusation, Katerina first sighed softly, then she turned her head, looked at the maid Celia who appeared behind her at some point, and cursed with an angry smile,

"I said Celia, you are obviously not a few years older than me, why are you just like an old nanny."

"It's nagging in my ears every day. If you don't bother me, it will bother me."

"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, I'm too lazy to tangle with you..." At this point, Katerina waved her hand with a look of disgust, ending the topic.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for her maid to refute something, Katerina suddenly turned her head and looked around, as if she was looking for someone. After a while, she found nothing, looked at her maid and asked curiously,

"By the way, where are the guys sent by the Aaron family to follow us? Weren't you with them just now?"

"I thought I abducted their young master, and they would come to trouble me? Why didn't you see them coming with you?"

Facing her own lady's question, Celia responded without changing her expression,

"After Miss and Young Master Aaron slipped away privately, I had a private exchange with those followers of Aaron's family, and then they decided to go back to the Marquis's Mansion first."

"Crack?!" After hearing Celia's answer, Katerina looked at her maid in surprise,

"Why did those guys suddenly become so talkative? Just now when I said I was going to take Arlo out for shopping, those old-fashioned people in the Aaron family wanted to remonstrate with death. It took me a lot of energy to abduct him. .”

"How on earth did you convince them?"

"Probably..." Celia hesitated for a while when she asked Katerina's question, but soon, she saw that the maid responded without changing her expression,

"Probably because my reasoning is more convincing to them~"

"Hehe~" The moment Celia's voice fell, before Katerina, who was full of suspicion, asked something, the two heard a burst of laughter from their ears.

And at the moment when she heard the sneer, Celia's eyes were fixed, and then she drew her long sword, pointed directly at the source of the sound, and said sharply,

"Who's there?!"

"get out--!"

Facing Celia's scolding, soon, a man with striking red hair slowly walked out from a corner of the street.

After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Katerina was slightly stunned for a moment, then she gently pushed away Celia's arm holding the sword, and after carefully looking at him for a while, she smiled and said,

"Red hair, blue eyes, a scar on the left side of your face, and this rogue demeanor, if I'm not mistaken, you are the Deputy Commander of the Second Fleet, Lord Francis Thomas, right?"

"When I came to visit you in Chris Port before, I heard that you were seriously ill, but I couldn't even enter your house."

"At first I thought you were seriously ill and dying, that's why I couldn't see people, but now you suddenly appeared in front of me in good condition......"

"May I ask you what that means?"

"Could it be that my appearance doesn't match your aesthetics, so you don't even want to see me?"

At this moment, listening to the ironic words of the girl in front of him, the man named Francis Thomas seemed not aware of the girl's ridicule, and smiled without showing any embarrassment.

"Hahaha, how come, respected Miss Katerina, your sense of humor is as touching as your beauty, who can bear to refuse a girl like you?"

"I was really sick yesterday, if you don't believe me, you can ask......"

Speaking of this, seeing the increasingly obvious irony in the eyes of the person opposite, Francis had to swallow the unfinished nonsense, then stroked the back of his head, trying to get away with a silly smile .

Caterina shook her head and snorted softly for Francis's shameless approach, then waved her hands and said,

"Okay, Mr. Francis, I don't have time to watch you play a clown here now, so tell me, what are you doing here?"

On the other side, Francis narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Katerina's question, and then his expression became serious,

"Miss Katerina, I think your question should be asked by me...... What are you doing here?"

"Your father, the Duke of Aldan, has already announced to the outside world that he and the Aaron family have dissolved their marriage relationship. Now Aldan and the Aaron family are no longer allies. With your special status, you and the Aaron family should have a hostile relationship. right."

"I'm really curious, what do you want to do when you suddenly come to Chris Port?"

"Could it be that... the Duke of Aldan wants to squeeze out the last penny of the value of the Aaron family~?"

"You think too much!" At this moment, listening to Francis' questioning in an increasingly cold tone, Katerina interrupted angrily,

"When I visited you, I already said that the purpose of my coming here is only to help the Aaron family get through the difficulties."

"My actions are only based on my own personal wishes, and have nothing to do with the Aldan family, let alone that old man Leannis!"

"If you must ask me why I did this, then I can only tell you... I like it, I am willing!"

After listening to Katerina's answer, the suspicion in Francis' eyes did not disappear at all, and then he saw a tired smile on his face, and said with a smile like a rogue,

"Miss Katerina, I am actually a very good person, and I don't have any other shortcomings. I just like to think wildly, and the direction of thinking is very extreme. I always scare myself."

"Because I often scare myself, I am particularly timid. I have never dared to accept those kindnesses that I can't figure out the reason, because I am afraid that there are fishhooks hidden in the salted fish bread."

"So I'm sorry, if I can't figure out your purpose, then I'm afraid I can only find a way to make trouble for you, I hope you won't go home crying and complain to your father...... …”

"Presumptuous!" Hearing this, Celia, who had been keeping silent beside Katerina, finally couldn't bear it anymore. She had already regarded Katerina as her master, how could she allow others to despise the girl majesty.

At this moment, Seria, who was dressed as a maid but holding the long sword tightly, was staring at the man in front of her, as if she might strike at any time.Facing Celia Chiguoguo's hostility, Francis showed no fear at all. He didn't even avoid Celia's sharpness, but just stared at Katerina silently, as if waiting for an answer.

Seeing that the atmosphere here became more and more rigid, Katerina had no choice but to stand up to smooth things over. She first pulled her maid aside in a consoling manner, and then after glancing at Francis, she sighed and said,

"You really want to hear the truth?"

Francis didn't reply to the girl's question, but just shrugged with a smile. Seeing this, the girl shook her head and said quietly,
