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

In this way, I can pretend that I don't know the identity of the other party, and then use the identity gap to occupy a favorable position in the negotiation.

But who would have thought that the moment the guy in front of him realized his purpose, he would expose himself without hesitation, which caught the girl by surprise for a while.

"Sorry for misunderstood you, Your Highness Reinhardt~~"

Finally, after calming down, Katerina quickly adjusted her mentality, stared at the blond man in front of her and said in a deep voice,

"I just didn't expect that you, the Crown Prince of the Empire, would visit such a small place as Port Chris in person. This surprised me, so I lost control of my emotions. Please forgive me."

Hearing Katerina's response, the blond man named Reinhardt suddenly looked at the girl with a half-smile, and then pointedly said,

"Miss Katerina, will you really be surprised to know my identity~~?"

"I've always heard that the eldest daughter of the Aldan family is brave and intelligent. She acts boldly, is tough, and has superb magic skills. She never hesitates to show off her abilities when faced with some evil guests who don't listen to advice and come uninvited. Powerful."

"Hehe, how can you be moved by my identity~?"

At this moment, after listening to Reinhardt's remarks, Katerina couldn't help raising her brows, and then saw her asking deliberately, pretending to be stupid,

"......Your Highness, may I ask what you were talking about just now? I don't quite understand~~"

Faced with Katerina's verbal counterattack, Reinhardt grinned slightly as if he had seen something interesting, but he did not continue to pursue and fight fiercely, but cut off the topic very cooperatively.

"It's nothing, please don't mind, it's just my emotion~"

After the words fell, Reinhard folded his hands on his chest, leaned forward, then stared at the girl in front of him, smiled and said,

"Miss Katerina, I heard that you have always disliked the way nobles greet you, so as a gentleman, I would like to respect the opinions of ladies."

"So let's get straight to the point now. From Bayernord to Chrishamn, if you walk by land, you have to walk nearly a thousand kilometers. It is not easy to travel such a long distance, but I heard that you have a very important The present was going to be given to me, so in order to show respect, I finally decided to make a trip in person to show my respect.”

"so..........."

At this point, Reinhardt narrowed his eyes slightly like a crouching tiger, and the smile that had been hanging on his face became a little cold at this time,

"Miss Katerina, I believe your gift will not disappoint me, right?"

At this moment, after hearing what Reinhardt said, although Katerina's expression did not change, she was actually so angry that she wanted to curse. Since she traveled to this world, all the girls have come into contact with are polite people, and she has never seen Such a shameless person.

When formulating the plan, Katerina really wanted to attract the attention of the empire, but she never thought of attracting the imperial prince in front of her from the beginning to the end.

According to Katerina's vision, after receiving the bait thrown by herself, the empire should send a person of similar status to negotiate, and then she will proceed to the next step, and finally promote the cooperation between the two parties, and help Chris Port please dilemma.

But what Katerina didn't expect was that the person who came to negotiate turned out to be the crown prince of the empire, which forced her to change many of her plans. Much higher than Katerina, the daughter of the "small country" duke.

Why did Katerina try to pretend not to know Reinhardt before, because the status of the two parties is not equal, and many routines are useless in the negotiation.

If it's just like this, it's fine. Although the imperial envoy is replaced by the crown prince, although Katerina will be tied up in the negotiations, it will not suffer a big loss.

But now, from what the person in front of her said, Katerina obviously wanted to use the bait she threw out earlier as a meeting gift for the other party.

What is this called?

This is called rogue!Chi Guoguo is a rascal!

"Your Highness..." After a while, Katerina calmed down, exhaled softly, and then seemed to think of a countermeasure, and saw her choose He frowned and smiled,

"Since you've said that, I don't want to hurt your feelings."

"Forget it, let Your Highness come to meet the gift I want to give to the 'Pusid Empire' now~"

At this moment, seeing that the girl in front of him was able to quickly regain his composure and find a countermeasure under the pressure of his own words, Reinhardt's deep eyes flashed slightly. Afterwards, he didn't care about the word games in the girl's words, just smiled Nodding his head,

"Okay then, please let Miss Katerina show me the gift you mentioned in your letter."

After the voice fell, Reinhardt stopped talking, just quietly looked at the girl in front of him, and Katerina, who was sitting on the side, didn't speak at this time, and she clapped her hands without looking back, and the applause fell At that moment, a dressed figure of a maid slowly opened the door and walked in with a tray.

When the maid approached the two people in the room, she gently placed the tray in her hand on the coffee table, and then opened the lid of the tray.

The moment the lid was lifted, two glass bottles filled with orange liquid quickly caught the eyes of the two of them. After the maid left, after carefully looking at the glass bottles in front of him, Reinhard raised his eyebrows. asked,

"This thing... feels like orange juice~?"

"Miss Katerina, what does this mean? Is this the gift you mentioned?"

"That's right, Your Highness has good eyesight. The thing in the bottle is orange juice." Hearing Reinhardt's question, Katerina nodded frankly.

The next moment, without waiting for Reinhardt to ask anything, the girl quickly gestured a gesture of calmness, and then saw her leaning over to pick up a bottle of orange juice from the coffee table and holding it in her hand, and then, I heard the girl explain softly to Reinhardt,

"Your Highness, don't be impatient. Of course I dare not play tricks on Your Highness. The reason why I gave this thing as a gift to the Empire is because it is not ordinary orange juice."

"It is a bottle of concentrated orange juice made in a special way. Unlike ordinary orange juice, this bottle of orange juice can be stored for a long time without opening the lid. And if the material of the container holding the orange juice is guaranteed, According to the production method in my hands, this kind of orange juice can be stored for more than one year!"

Having said that, looking at the thoughtful Reinhardt, the girl suddenly smiled, and then only heard a faint voice in the room,

"Your Highness, are you satisfied with my gift~~?"

At this moment, regarding Katerina's rhetorical question, Reinhardt first took a deep look at the smiling girl, and then only heard him speak in a calm tone,

"Miss Katerina, could it be that this bottle of orange juice is what you said in the letter before, it is a medicine that can fight against devil's disease~?"

"Do you think this argument is convincing?"

Faced with Reinhardt's doubts, Katerina calmly shook the glass bottle of orange juice in her hand, and then looked at Reinhardt who had already restrained her smile, she suddenly answered the wrong question and said,

"Your Highness, how do you think the devil's disease came about?"

"Is it true that there are devils coveting the souls of sailors in the depths of the ocean, as the church described, or is it because of some other reason?"

Hearing the girl's rhetorical question, Reinhardt leaned back, and then responded half-jokingly and half-self-deprecatingly,

"I'm sorry, Miss Katerina, I don't have enough knowledge to answer your question, but I can be sure that there must be no devil in the ocean!"

"if not............"

"Hehe, a person like me who personally led troops to destroy dozens of churches and hanged many priests, and was declared by the church to be a 'heinous sin' detested by the gods, should have been taken away by the devil long ago... ......"

Section 86 83. Negotiation

At this moment, listening to Reinhardt's arrogant words that seemed to come from the heart, Katerina couldn't help narrowing her eyes.

Throughout the history of the development of human civilization, whether in Katerina's previous life or in the current magical world, imperial power and divine power have always been a pair of happy enemies who love each other and kill each other

Both are essentially fighting for the control of the world, or in other words, for the control of the human heart, but the basis of the two sides is different. The imperial power is supported by violent conquest at the physical level, and the divine power is based on controlling people's hearts and minds. Relying on the influence produced, the means of the two parties are different, but the purpose is the same.

Under such circumstances, the outbreak of conflict between the two is almost an inevitable result, and the current Pusid Empire and the Church are facing problems in this regard.

The Pusid Empire is the only country on the main continent with the suffix "Empire". Possess the power to unify the entire continent.

The problem lies here. The church, which holds the common spiritual beliefs of mankind, is not happy to see a unified empire in the human world.

The top leaders of the church are very clear that once the Pusid Empire completely unifies the human world, the church will lose the political leverage to stir up the world situation. After that, the imperial power without any scruples will inevitably override the divine power with absolute power.

In that case, the super-standard status that the church has always maintained is bound to disappear. Therefore, driven by vital interests, disintegrating and suppressing the development of the imperial power has become the church's primary task. The current hostility of various countries to the empire The attitude is largely caused by the church, and even the anti-imperial alliance can be regarded as the result of the church.

A certain cow who is often tossed out of the coffin once said that the effects of force are mutual, so it is only natural that when the church shows ill will towards the Pusid Empire, it is bound to bear the counterattack from the empire.

At present, what the imperial prince in front of Katerina said is part of the empire's counterattack against the church. In fact, he has not done anything more ruthless than this.

However, in the world of nobles, some things can only be done but not said, because after all, the church holds the spiritual beliefs of the human world, and exposing an attitude of hostility to the church will cause a lot of trouble for itself, so under normal circumstances, things that attack the church It cannot and should not be put on the bright side, at least not with strangers.

But now, Reinhardt told Katerina what he did very frankly. What exactly does imperial prince mean.

Finally, after a moment of silence, Katerina quietly sat upright, and then tried calmly,

"May I ask Your Highness, what do you mean by what you just said?"

"Hehe, Miss Katerina, don't you really understand?"

Facing Katerina's temptation, Reinhardt picked up another bottle of juice on the coffee table, and after shaking the glass bottle, he said with a leisurely smile,

"From the first time we met, I thought you were a smart girl, you must be able to understand what I mean~"

"Like you, I don't like the church's magic sticks, so no matter what you want to say, please don't hesitate."

At this moment, listening to Reinhardt's words, Katerina raised her eyebrows. After narrowing her eyes slightly, she restrained the professional smile on her face, and then said with a serious face,

"In this case...then, Your Highness, I will speak directly."

"I don't know if there are devils in this world, but I can be sure that the so-called devil disease has nothing to do with devils!"

"In order to maintain the functioning of the human body, it needs to obtain energy and 'life elements' from the diet every day. Among them, there is not only one kind of 'life elements' needed by the human body, but many kinds. Only by ensuring that the 'life elements' are comprehensive The right amount of intake can maintain the health of the human body.”

"The reason why the devil disease is born in the sailors is not because the sailors are dragged away by the devil, but because the sailors have to maintain a very bad eating habit after living on the ship for a long time, which makes some life in their bodies Elements are missing in large numbers."

"Because the lack of supplements of life elements, the human body cannot maintain its operation, which eventually led to the birth of the devil's disease."

"If I say this, Your Highness should be able to understand, right?"

"So..." After listening to Katerina's response, Reinhardt thoughtfully played with the glass bottle in his hand, and after pondering for a while, he seemed like After confirming the correctness of the answer at the end, he said calmly,

"In the bottle of orange juice you gave me, there should be those life elements you mentioned, right?"

"That is to say, as long as the sailors drink more orange juice, the problem of the devil's disease can be solved? Don't you need to pray to those magic sticks?"

"Of course!" Facing Reinhardt's inquiry, Katerina nodded with certainty,

"Your Highness should be very clear that those fleets that claim to be blessed by God and have a good relationship with the church can resist demonic diseases because they often take No. [-] holy water. I have tested it, and the so-called No. [-] holy water is actually After removing the flavor, it is a juice with some medicine added. In terms of function, it is almost the same as the orange juice I gave you."

"In addition, not only orange juice, but also other things in my hand are rich in life elements, such as canned vegetables and water sprouts, which can solve the problem of devil's disease, but for now, concentrated juice is the most convenient to preserve and carry."

At this moment, after listening to Katerina's explanation, Reinhardt squinted his eyes and looked at the bottle of orange juice in his hand. After a moment of silence, he suddenly unscrewed the cap and took a sip.

The next moment, feeling the sweet and sour sensation exploding on the taste buds on the tip of his tongue, Reinhardt twitched his lips, then put down the juice in his hand, and said to the girl in front of him with a smile,

"Miss Katerina, your gift is very good, I like it very much, so next......"

"What kind of gift do you want me to give you in return?"

The moment she heard Reinhardt's voice, Katerina's expression immediately became extremely serious, because she knew that this negotiation had entered the point, and she had to deal with it cautiously.

"Your Highness, the person you are thanking should not be me, because this gift is a meeting gift from Chris Port to the Empire. If you want to return the gift, the object of the gift should also be the Empire."

At this moment, facing Reinhardt's eyes, Katerina pointed out the core of the problem in a cryptic way, but Reinhardt, who is the crown prince of the empire, put on a lazy posture for Katerina's remarks ,

"Miss Katerina, I think you may have misunderstood this meeting. This is just a private meeting, not a formal negotiation, so the gift you gave can only be regarded as for me."

At this point, looking at the girl in front of him whose expression suddenly became extremely cold, Reinhardt couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and then continued as if pointing,

"Also, if this meeting gift is for the empire, then the weight of the gift is too light~"

The portion is too light~?
