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

"The dignity of the princess's status is not comparable to that of a mere shady assassin."

"That's right, you're right, the status of the princess is indeed extremely noble, but......" Hearing Karbas's obviously derogatory evaluation of his profession, the cloaked man's tone There was still no change, and he even agreed with the other party's statement, but after that, he suddenly changed the subject,

"Karbas, do you really think that His Excellency the Duke will take the risk of offending the Duchess and forcefully recognize the lady?"

"If you don't get the Duke's approval, the identity of Miss's illegitimate daughter will never be seen, and she can only be a merchant's daughter for the rest of her life. If this is the case, why not..."

"Enough!" The next moment, before the cloaked man could finish speaking, Karbas interrupted him sharply,

"Sangers, you have to know what you're talking about!"

"Your Excellency the Duke's will is not something we can fathom. No matter what, the fact that Miss is the Duke's daughter will not change!"

"Even... even if Miss can only be regarded as the daughter of a merchant for the rest of her life, she is still a child of the Aldan family, and must not do anything to shame the Aldan family!"

"This is the destiny she was born with!"

"Fate~?" In response to Karbas' cold warning, the cloaked man named Sangers finally stopped maintaining a calm posture, but looked in the direction of the girl's residence, spread his hands with emotion, and then used Revealing a tone of unknown meaning, sighed faintly,

"Oh, fate is really cruel to miss~~"

Chapter 7 6. Misfortune

Three months later, when the first ray of cool wind roars from the end of the ocean, passes through mountains and rivers, reaches the vast wilderness, and blows the endless wheat fields into a golden yellow that reveals a mature breath, the autumn season The goddess arrived as expected.

In the forest, because the hot summer has just passed, the hot breath in the forest still refuses to dissipate, and the cool autumn wind meets in the sky. After the cold and warm air convection, a heavy rain comes without warning, and without warning Finish.

After the rain and the sun cleared, before the moisture in the forest dissipated, the little animals could no longer stand their loneliness, and ran out of their nests one after another, looking for things in every corner of the forest.

At this moment, a little chipmunk was running quickly through the treetops, stopping to look around from time to time, constantly looking for edible berries, and then bringing them back to the small nest for storage.

It seems that this hard-working little guy has realized that when autumn comes, severe winter is not far away. If you don't work hard now, the future will be very difficult.

A moment later, when the little guy was still working hard to find food, a sudden sound came from the road in the forest, startling it, the fruit between its claws almost fell, and then, no When the culprit who made the noise appeared, this alert little guy quickly picked up the fruit and disappeared in the top of the tree.

And at the moment when the little guy disappeared in the treetops, a group of carriages came unsteadily from the depths of the jungle.

Outside the carriage, the drivers held whips in their hands, and while driving the carriage, they chatted leisurely with their companions. Inside the carriage, there was a buzzing of birds and swallows. Looking closely, it turned out that the passengers in the carriage were a group of beautifully dressed little girl.

What is extremely surprising is that the girl is also among these little girls, and she is also beautifully dressed, even wearing a skirt.

You know, as a transmigrator with the soul of a straight man living in her body, the girl doesn't like feminine attire at all. If her teacher didn't try her best to stop her, the girl would even cut one of her hair to save the time of washing her hair. Long hair cut off.

As for clothing, ever since the girl became independent, she has never worn skirts and other distinctive feminine clothing, let alone makeup. The only way she dresses up every day is to hold a puddle of water in her hand, and then Apply it on your face to keep it clean.

In short, girls almost never don't dress themselves up, and their beautiful appearance depends on their natural beauty.

But today, the girl who has always been careless about dressing up, uncharacteristically dressed herself up beautifully. Not only did she apply various cosmetics on her face, she even put on a cute little skirt. The beautiful girl looks more and more touching.

And the reason why the girl suddenly breaks the rules and tries her best to dress herself up is very simple...... Today is the day she escapes from Morodo City!

Not long ago, the girl's teacher quietly wrote to her to tell her that she had successfully escaped the monitoring, and that the girl would not have to worry about whatever she did next, which meant that the time to escape was ripe.

As for why the girl chose to escape today, because this day is the Harvest Festival.

Different from other festivals, the origin of the Harvest Festival comes from religious scriptures. It is a festival that is widely recognized in all human countries, and it is also the most important festival in human society. Its meaning is equivalent to the Spring Festival in a girl’s previous life.

On this day, the human inhabitants of almost the entire continent will celebrate it. People will put down the things at hand and revel to their heart's content, and thank the gods for their harvest after a whole year of hard work.

At the same time, Harvest Festival is also regarded as Valentine's Day in most human countries. On this day, girls will dress up beautifully, hold golden oak flowers in their hands, and wait for the boy who likes them, and bring the most precious treasures Come to invite, if you see the right eye, you can get married, and if you don't see the right eye, you can laugh it off with the festive atmosphere.

When Valentine's Day and Spring Festival are combined, one can imagine how lively this festival will be, and such a lively environment will inevitably bring about chaos. As long as the situation becomes chaotic, girls can take advantage of it.

It was precisely because of this that the girl chose to use today as the day to escape from Morodo City.

However, even though the time is in hand, the girl is still extremely cautious, because she knows very well that those who are responsible for monitoring her are not fools, and the other party can probably imagine that she will use this special day to make trouble .

Through these months of probing, the girl has already understood the opponent's level to a certain extent. Those people are definitely good players in the dark world, and it is difficult for her to deal with them even one-on-one.It is very difficult for girls to do things when they are all experts and outnumbered.

However, the girl still did not intend to back down.

These days, the weird feeling in the girl's heart is getting heavier and heavier. At the same time, some incomprehensible pictures in her mind are becoming clearer and clearer. It seems that there is a voice telling her that a A drama dominated by the gods is about to begin. If she doesn't act, her fate will follow the established track, and her next life will only be reduced to a marionette in the drama of the gods.

It is this strange feeling that drives the girl to fight hard. No matter what, the girl is absolutely unwilling to become a puppet in the drama of the gods.

"......Carter, Carter, what are you thinking~?!"

At this moment, when the girl was thinking about her next plan with a heavy face, a gentle voice rang in the girl's ear. The girl turned her head and saw that it was a man who was about the same age as herself but wearing relatively high-end clothes. The girl was looking at her with a smile on her face.

After glancing at the person in front of her, the girl raised her eyebrows. There was no extra expression on her face, she just replied indifferently,

"Oh, I was thinking about how to run away from home."

"......" Hearing the girl's answer, the girl opposite the girl froze at first, and then her expression became extremely strange.

Finally, after coughing dryly for a while, the girl bit the bullet and tried hard to answer,

"Carter, you really love to joke, don't say such things, your family will be angry......"

"Jonah, she's a wild child, how can she have any family?" The next moment, before the girl finished speaking, another voice suddenly broke in. When the girl followed the voice, she found that the person who spoke was a A girl with many freckles on her face, and at this moment, this girl was staring at the girl with an indifferent expression, as if the girl had done something unforgivable.

Seeing this, the girl named Qiao Na hurriedly persuaded,

"Kay, don't say that, Carter will be sad."

"Sad?" Listening to Jona's words, the girl named Kay first hummed softly, then raised her head slightly and mocked in the girl's direction,

"Jonah, you are so kind. I don't know that there are many people in this world who have no heart at all."

"Look at her, how does she look sad?"

"Okay, Kay, just say a few words..." Regarding Kay's mocking words, Jona first gave the girl a sorry look, and then continued her admonition.

As for the reaction of the two people in front of her, the girl who had been trying to pretend to be a wooden man sighed helplessly. This is why the girl has always been disgusted with socializing after reincarnation.

Because she was a straight man and a single dog in her previous life, the girl didn't know much about women, and she still had a little fantasy about women in her heart, thinking that most women are gentle creatures, but after the girl reincarnated, she found that her previous views were simply wrong Outrageous.

Where is there any kind and gentle creature? The essence of every woman is to do things, and she will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't do things for a day!

Take the two girls in front of the girl as an example. These two are children of the girl's neighbor. They are one of the few communication partners in the girl's small social circle, but it is these two who always give the girl a splitting headache. .

First of all, there is a girl named Jona. Her father is a baker, and her family has a shop. The business is very good, and her family background is at the upper middle level among ordinary people. With a certain degree of investment in Na, this girl has a fairly good upbringing compared to other commoner children.

From the outside appearance alone, anyone would think that Qiao Na is a gentle and polite child, but a girl who knows enough about her knows that this girl is a pure scheming whore, full of all kinds of things in her heart. It's a calculation.

Just like now, it seems that Qiao Na is speaking for the girl, but in fact, her words are confirming what Kai said, telling everyone in the same car that the girl is a "wild child".

As for why Qiao Na wanted to target young girls, the reason was simple, she wanted to eliminate competitors.

Qiao Na is now 15 years old, and she will be considered an adult in the legal sense in one year, and she can get married, and she is also obliged to get married.

This world is not very friendly to single dogs, because productivity is low, and sufficient population is needed to participate in social labor. All those in power will consciously find ways to supplement the population of their territories.

According to the laws of the Duchy of Aldan and the Kingdom, children who reach the age of 16 must start preparing for marriage. If they are over 16 and have no marriage partner, they need to pay a fine, and the amount of the fine increases year by year.

In other words, if Qiao Na has no marriage partner until next year's Harvest Festival at the latest, her family will have to pay a fine for her.

Obviously, this kind of result is what Qiao Na's family does not want to see, so her marriage is bound to be finalized before then.

Originally, at Qiaona's level, she was not worried about marrying at all. She could even say bluntly that as long as she wanted, young men who came to propose marriage could line up from her house to the gate of the city.However, this girl already has a mate in mind, a man named Jeff.

In all fairness, that man named Jeff didn't look very good, and he didn't have much ability, but he was the son of the captain of the Morodo City Guard.

There have always been rumors in the market that Jeff's father has been appreciated by big figures because of his outstanding ability, and he is preparing to confer a lord on him. Once the rumors are confirmed, then Jeff's family will be a future noble family. Women naturally have the opportunity to become noble wives.

This kind of marriage that can achieve class leaps will naturally be followed by countless people, and Qiao Na is one of them.

Under Qiao Na's gentle appearance, she has always hidden a proud heart. Because of the particularity of her family and her own capital, she is very eager to live a superior life, and she is not willing to marry a commoner casually, nor To be a secret lover for a nobleman, so Jeff, a man who may become a nobleman, has become the best and only choice for Qiao Na.

It is precisely because of this that, for the sake of her future life, Qiao Na will do her best to eliminate her competitors, and the girl is very unlucky to be targeted by Qiao Na.

Don't get me wrong, the girl has no interest in the man named Jeff, but the girl has a delicate face that can easily surpass other people of the same sex without makeup.

In the past, when the girl didn't dress up, it was already difficult for Jona to compete with the girl in terms of appearance. Today, the girl dressed up beautifully for her escape plan, and her current appearance directly put Qiaona away by several points. Street, which gave him a huge sense of threat.

So of course, the girl became the target of Qiao Na.

As for the other of the two girls, that is, the girl named Kay, her reason for hostility to the girl is more straightforward...... The girl beat her betrothed severely .

What happened was very simple. Kay's engagement partner was a scumbag man. While dealing with Kay, he also had the idea of ​​a girl, and the girl was not interested in entanglement with men, so after several warnings were ineffective, she decisively sent That guy was beaten, and the strike was quite heavy, enough to make the other party no longer interested in the girl.

And then, I don't know how that scumbag explained to the outside world. Kay, who had a decent relationship with the girl, became the girl's "enemy" unilaterally after that.

At this moment, the girl couldn't laugh or cry about what happened to her. She never thought that she would become enemies with her sister because of fighting for men.

After reincarnation, due to the special family environment, the girl was alone most of the time, and it was precisely because no one deliberately disciplined the girl that the girl still maintained the character of the previous life...... I didn't see myself as a woman.

In this way, the girl naturally didn't know how to deal with such things.

In fact, the girl is not afraid of external crises. Thanks to her unremitting efforts over the years, the girl now possesses a considerable degree of combat effectiveness. Ten or eight strong men can't get close to her. Although she is only 13 years old, with her skill, Even in the dark world, she can be regarded as a good player. If she completely let go of her hands and feet, the girl can even kill a whole car of people with ease.

If you are a Long Aotian type traverser, facing the humiliation of others, the easiest solution is to kill all the people who humiliate you.

However, the girl can't do this, she is not Long Aotian, she can't do the kind of thing that kills the whole family if she disagrees, the moral bottom line shaped by the Red Republic for her in her previous life is still playing a role at this moment.

It was precisely because of this that the young girl found it difficult. She really didn't know how to deal with the two people in front of her.

You can't kill, you can't beat, you don't even dare to curse back.

You must know that the girl's curse words are all learned from the dark world, and the degree of viciousness is hard to bear without a certain psychological ability. If the girl really uses those vicious words, she is [-]% sure that the two girls opposite Will cry.

For a girl with the soul of a straight man, bullying a girl or even making her cry is not something a pure man should do.

The harm between the two powers is the lesser. Compared with making the girl cry, the girl would rather endure the "improvisation" of the two. Although the ears are a little noisy, it is better than bearing the guilt of bullying the girl psychologically.Anyway, after today, there is a high probability that the three of them will never see each other again in this lifetime, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

Therefore, facing the verbal targeting of the two girls, the girl finally just dealt with it in a neutral manner, and only replied when the two girls' words were too "intense", and then stopped doing more things.

And just when time slipped away quietly in the verbal confrontation of the three, an accident happened suddenly. The carriage carrying the three came to a sudden stop without warning. The strong inertia caused the passengers to involuntarily tilt their bodies. In the meantime, people in the car turned upside down, and at the same time, a thick tree branch penetrated heavily from the top of the car, and the scattered leaves carried damp water vapor, hitting people's bodies lightly and not hard.

Facing the current change, the first person to react was naturally the young girl. Immediately after stabilizing her figure with all her strength, the young girl quickly put her hand on the cuff, where a dagger was hidden.

After touching the handle of the dagger, the girl adjusted the angle of the handle to prevent the dagger from hurting herself, while calmly lifting the linen cloth covering the car body, quietly looking at the situation outside the car, and at the same time, the muscles of her body tightened rapidly , in order to respond at any time.

While the girl was inquiring about the situation, other people in the carriage also recovered from the misfortune one by one, because the purpose of this journey was to pick the golden oaks with the girls to be married, so as to participate in the Harvest Festival about the blind date. Activities, the passengers in the carriage are basically young girls.

Facing the current shocking change, these girls who had never experienced such a change at all didn't know how to deal with it, so the car quickly became noisy, with whimpers, murmurs and screams.

"Quiet--!"

Finally, just when the carriage was completely immersed in noise, a young voice exuding vigor suddenly resounded in the crowd, forcibly suppressing the chaos in the carriage.

When people looked over subconsciously, they found that the person who spoke was the girl who never got along with others——Katerina.
