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

Regarding Castro's words and deeds, Katerina, who had already realized what the other party wanted to express, replied without changing her expression,

"So, what do you want to tell me?"

Seeing the girl's reaction like this, Castro's expression was slightly stiff, but soon, he continued to answer kindly,

"I want to say that our Abbott family still has a certain understanding of His Majesty the Emperor of the Pusid Empire, including His Majesty's preferences, personality, abilities, and... what he once said , we all know something.”

"My father sent me here this time, mainly to inform Miss......"

"The Empire sent a team to visit Chris Port not long ago. The Empire's special envoys will arrive in Chris Port soon. I wonder if Miss is ready for 'preparation'?"

After the words fell, Castro looked at the girl's face again, as if he wanted to see something from it, but soon he was very disappointed to find that after listening to his "information", the girl's face There is no change in the world, and this abnormal phenomenon makes Castro feel very wrong.

And just when Castro was about to open his mouth to test something, a chuckle resounded in the hall, and then, Katerina said with a half-smile,

"Thank you for your information, Your Excellency Castro."

"Please go back and tell your father, Viscount Abt, that I am very much looking forward to the arrival of the imperial fleet, and that I have prepared the grandest welcome ceremony for the imperial envoys, so let's wait and see~"

........................................

"Ah!"

At the same time, on the route from the territorial waters of the empire to Port Chris, in a magnificent ship, a man with short blond hair suddenly sneezed heavily for some reason.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

After the sound of sneezing fell, a middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat standing next to the blond man looked at the blond man worriedly, and at the same time handed over a high-end hand towel.

After receiving the towel, the blond man wiped his mouth slightly, then smiled at the middle-aged man with a tired face,

"Don't worry, Sir Bell."

"I'm fine. I just had an itchy nose just now. It's definitely not a devil's disease."

"Your Highness, you really shouldn't have come with your servants." After hearing the blond man's words, the middle-aged man seemed to be overwhelmed by one of the words. With a face of accusation, he said,

"If you go by land, your subjects will never have any objections, but the sea has never been the domain of the empire. Those evil devils hidden in the sea are always coveting the souls of the empire's warriors. You really shouldn't be so willful."

"If something happens to you..."

"Okay, Sir Bell, let's end this topic." The next moment, before the middle-aged man called Bell could continue his long speech, the blond man waved his hands unquestionably.

Then, after staring out the window, the blond man said seriously to the person in front of him,

"Miss Bell, you know, I never believe the lies of those gods. There are no devils in this world!"

"The devil is just a lie carefully made up by the church's hypocritical magic sticks. Only a fool would believe it."

"But..." After listening to the blond man's words, the middle-aged man named Bell hesitated for a while, but finally hesitantly replied,

"Your Highness, even if the devil doesn't exist, the devil's disease is real. It has already claimed the lives of many warriors of the empire. In case you......"

Bell didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already very obvious. Regarding this, the blond man just let out a leisurely breath,

"It doesn't matter. The West family never escapes disaster. If I am really unfortunately entangled by the devil's disease, it can only show that my capacity is so far."

"And I'm really curious, what is the so-called devil's disease? How did it come about? Why can it kill so many people invisibly?"

Speaking of this, the blond man seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly showed a look of fascination,

"Think about it, if this trouble can be solved, then the glory of the empire will cover every inch of land illuminated by the sun!"

"What an intoxicating picture~~"

The voice fell, and the cabin was silent, only the sound of the sea wind blowing the window. It seemed that the two people present had fallen into the fantasy mentioned by the blond man. It was not until a long time later that the middle-aged man named Bell sighed and said ,

"Your Highness, do you really believe what is said in that letter?"

"I always feel that what is described in that letter is really... really absurd."

At this moment, upon hearing Bell's words, a bright smile appeared on the face of the blond man,

"It's okay, Sir Bell."

"Chris Port is coming soon. Whether the things said in the letter are true or not, we just need to ask the owner of the letter, and we will know everything, right?"

Chapter 77 74. Deadlocked Cooperation

Half a month later, on the outskirts of Chris Port, a gorgeous carriage was slowly moving forward surrounded by more than a dozen knights.

In the carriage, Katerina squinted her eyes and flipped through the documents in her hand calmly. Beside her, the maid Celia had just adjusted a cup of coffee with a magic heater and was seriously cooling down the coffee.

After a while, she used a long spoon to stir the cup full of coffee a few times again. Celia, who felt that the temperature was about the same, brought the coffee to her lady steadily, and while watching, she was still watching After documenting Katerina, she gave a hint in a soft tone.

"Miss, your coffee."

Hearing Celia's voice, Katerina, who was staring at the document, couldn't help but slightly raised her head. After seeing the steaming cup of coffee in front of her, she finally put down the document in her hand and stretched her hand heavily. lazy,

"Thank you, Celia, you are still good to me, other people will only make trouble for me~"

After the words fell, Katerina took a sip of the coffee in the cup and felt the taste of the coffee blooming on the taste buds on the tip of her tongue. The girl whose spirit was greatly relieved, like a cat being massaged, narrowed her eyes comfortably .

Seeing this scene, Celia twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, but then, her expression changed to worry again,

"Miss, why don't you rest for a while? Put your work aside for a while. If you keep working so hard, it's easy to hurt your body."

"Rest~?"

Hearing Celia's suggestion, Katerina couldn't help but open her eyes with closed eyes, and let out a long sigh full of helplessness,

"I want to rest too, but you don't know the virtues of the people under me. As long as those guys see a profit, they will rush forward like a dog who finds a meaty bone. On the other hand, as long as it is When you see trouble, you run faster than a rabbit like you see an undead."

"Everyone just wants to be a leisurely housekeeper, move their mouths casually, and then wait for the dividends to sit on the ground, as if gold coins will fall from the sky"

"Facing this group of people, what can I do?"

"Now [company] is in a critical period. If I don't work harder, this broken [company] will have to wait to be disbanded."

After hearing her lady's complaint, Celia hesitated for a while. She wanted to continue persuading her, but just as she opened her mouth, there was a regular knocking sound from the carriage window, blocking all her words in her throat .

At this moment, looking at the blurry figure outside the patterned glass, Celia, whose conversation was interrupted, couldn't help but frowned. After looking at Katerina and getting permission, she stepped forward two steps slowly. He moved the window and let the sun shine into the car.

A man dressed as a knight came into view at the same time as the sun, and after seeing the man's identity, Katerina raised her eyebrows and asked,

"Casgard? Didn't I put you in charge of receiving the imperial envoy? Why did you come to me suddenly? What happened?"

Hearing Katerina's inquiry, the man named Casgard saluted first, and then quickly responded,

"Miss Reply, the special envoy of the Empire just sent someone to tell me that His Excellency Viscount Bell wishes to meet with you in private, and it seems that he has something important to discuss with you."

"Heh, private meeting......"

At this moment, upon hearing the news brought by the knight, Katerina's delicate face showed a trace of sarcasm, and then, the girl said decisively,

"Please help me tell the special envoy that I will not meet with him in private. I don't think our friendship is good enough to meet in private."

"If you want to talk about cooperation, then act honestly in accordance with international rules. I will treat this cooperation in accordance with reciprocal diplomatic etiquette."

"As long as they communicate with each other sincerely, I will certainly give corresponding sincerity."

"But..." Facing Katerina's response, Kasgard seemed to have something hard to say, he didn't obey the order, and seemed to be trying to persuade him, but, Katharina He was not given a chance to speak.

"No but!"

After glancing at the disconsolate knight in front of her, before he could speak, Katerina waved her hand neatly,

"Follow my orders, and I will be responsible for any problems!"

Seemingly realizing that he could not persuade Katerina, Kasgard finally chose to carry out the order. Seeing the back of Kasgard's departure, the maid Celia looked worried after closing the car window again. looking at the girl,

"Miss, this is not good, after all, it is the mission of the Pusid Empire, just in case......"

"It's okay~" The next moment, after Celia finished speaking, Katerina, who was holding a coffee cup, said calmly,

"I don't care how the imperial missions behave in other places. As long as they are still on my territory, they must follow the rules. I will not spoil them."

"Besides, there is nothing shameful between us, so why make it as sneaky as an affair."

At this moment, listening to her young lady's violent remarks, the worry in Celia's eyes became more intense, and she couldn't help but think of what happened after the Pusid Empire fleet arrived in Chris Port a few days ago.

At that time, after the arrival of the mission of the Pusid Empire, in accordance with the default diplomatic procedures among countries, the two sides will send their top leaders to contact each other to show mutual respect.

However, the special envoys of the empire seemed to look down on the nobles of the Kingdom of Florida very much. In this link, they did not let their highest person in charge come forward, but only sent an ordinary knight as a contact person.

Faced with this situation, the nobles of Chrisport felt deeply ashamed, but in fact they could tolerate it in their hearts. After all, in their hearts, the strength difference between themselves and the empire was too great, and it was "natural" for the empire to behave like this. ".

However, just when the vast majority of people chose to silently accept the domineering behavior of the empire, Katerina, who is currently the actual chief ruler of Chris Port, fought back against the arrogance of the empire without hesitation... ...... She also only sent an ordinary knight to make contact.

You must know that the special envoy of the empire is not just a few people, but an entire fleet. Contacts of this scale involve many problems, and it is definitely not something that an ordinary knight can complete.

As a result, Katerina's actions caused the imperial envoy to spend an extra night on the ship with the sea breeze. In the end, Viscount Connaught Wayne came forward to barely complete the contact.

And after that, the imperial special envoy, who felt that they had suffered a disadvantage, started a series of small actions as if they were in conflict with Katerina.

Although these small actions were eventually resolved by Katerina one by one, the cooperation and negotiation process between the two parties has completely reached a deadlock. Until today, the leaders of both parties have not even met each other.

Faced with such a situation, how could Celia, who is a follower of Katerina, not be worried.

However, compared to Celia's eyes full of sorrow, Katerina, the person involved, took it very seriously. At this time, not only was she not worried about it at all, but she was still thinking about enlightening her maid,

"Okay, Celia, you can relax."

"I know the things about the empire, you don't have to worry about it."

"You know, in this game, I hold several trump cards in my hand, and it doesn't matter how I want to play. On the contrary, the empire seems to have many cards, but in fact there are not many cards that can be played."

"Don't make a mistake about the supply and demand relationship between us. With the technology in my hands, I may not have to choose to stand in the imperial camp."

At this moment, hearing Katerina's comforting words, Celia couldn't help but let out a deep breath. In the end, she chose to believe in her young lady's ability. Although there was still worry in her eyes, her emotions were no longer obvious.

Seeing this, Katerina smiled softly, drank the coffee in her hand, and then picked up the documents that were left aside again, and began to read them carefully.

As time passed, the document in Katerina's hand had been flipped to the last page, and just as Katerina was about to put down the document and take a break, the carriage suddenly shook slightly, and then quickly came down, Immediately afterwards, someone outside reminded me,

"Respect Miss Katerina, please get out of the car, our destination has arrived~"

Hearing the reminder from her ear, Katerina exhaled softly, and after making some adjustments to her attire, she walked out slowly facing the opened car door.

After stepping out of the carriage, what came into view was a villa that looked a little old in appearance. There were many people walking back and forth in the villa, and some windows would burst out with magical light from time to time. On both sides of the villa, there were large expanses of There are woods and bushes, and some abandoned low buildings can be seen faintly.
