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

At this moment, in the meeting hall of St. Hera City, a figure wearing a bishop's costume yelled at Alves,

"When you said you were going to the Kingdom of Florida, you didn't tell us at all that you were going to educate the eldest daughter of the Aldan family. It was your insistence that made the situation what it is today!"

"All this is your fault, you must take responsibility for it—!"

After listening to the bishop's roar, Alves, who was standing in the center of the conference hall and seemed to be undergoing a trial, sighed slightly, and said calmly,

"Yes, I admit that it's all my fault that caused the current situation......"

Having said this, before anyone else could speak, Alves' tone quickly changed to firm and said again,

"But I never regret it!"

"You!" Seeing that Alves still looked unrepentant at this time, a bishop who seemed to be very angry wanted to reprimand him immediately, but he just opened his mouth, and there was a long and The heavy call blocked all his words in his throat,

"Cavendish, now it's time for defense. In any case, please listen to what Alves has to say first."

At this moment, upon hearing the voice ringing in his ears, the bishop known as Cavendish immediately turned his gaze to the chief seat of the meeting hall, and then turned slightly to the gray-haired old man sitting on the chief seat. After performing a salute, he said in a heavy tone,

"Your Majesty, I don't want to interrupt Alves' defense, but you have also seen that our presiding judge has no intention of repenting after causing us so much trouble. Such an excuse What's the point?"

Regarding Cavendish's rebuttal, the old man sitting in the chief seat first nodded kindly, and then said in a long tone,

"Even so, as the presiding judge, Alves should have the right to speak, so..."

"Let's hear his reasons first~"

Hearing the old man's remarks, Cavendish seemed a little dissatisfied, but finally gave up and continued the confrontation. After angrily glanced at Alves in the middle of the field, he retreated to his position.

Seeing that the situation had subsided temporarily, the old man turned his gaze back to Alves,

"Alves, do you have anything else to say now?"

At this moment, facing the old man's question, Alves responded solemnly with a much more respectful tone than before,

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"It must be admitted that I have an unshirkable responsibility when things have developed to this point. I am willing to step down as the presiding judge and accept the punishment from the Holy Church, but before that...... ..”

At this point, Alves suddenly raised his head and looked at the old man in the chief seat with burning eyes.

"I hope that I can open the holy arsenal again. I want to go to Chris Port again to finish what I haven't done before......"

After the voice fell, everyone in the hall was shocked, and then, a roar sounded in the hall,

"enough--!"

The person who spoke was Cavendish who just chose to give in. At this moment, the bishop looked at Alves with anger, his eyes seemed to be ignited with flames,

"Alves, are you kidding us?!"

"Do you even know what you're talking about?!"

"We haven't settled your crime of opening the holy arsenal without permission, taking the [Book of the Devout] out of the city of St. Hera, and finally destroying the holy relic. Now you want to do it again?"

"Is it because the presiding judge has been serving for too long, and you have completely ignored the commandments of the church?"

Facing Cavendish's accusation, Alves did not explain, but just looked at the Pope sitting in the chief seat without saying a word, and the Pope narrowed his eyes slightly for Alves' actions eyes, then sighed softly,

"Alves, I need a reasonable explanation~"

"Since you have been to the Kingdom of Florida, your behavior has been full of weirdness and absurdity, can you tell me the reason~?"

Alves was silent for a long time regarding the Pope's inquiry, and when the people in the hall seemed a little impatient, the presiding judge finally said in a shy voice,

"A monster, a terrible monster is prowling the shores of the Kingdom of Florida~~"

"If we can't contain her before she grows up, she will inevitably drag the whole world into the abyss of terror..."

Chapter 106 103. Flip and Showdown!

Time flies, as the last leaf can no longer catch the dry treetops, the plump and enchanting lady of Autumn whizzes away in the bleak cold wind, and at the same time, the footsteps of Miss Dong come quietly.

In recent days, the sun has hidden in the thick clouds, and the sky looks extremely gloomy, as if something is brewing. Finally, in the early morning of today, when a biting cold wind blows across the pier, it seems like As if a switch was turned on, countless tiny silver elves danced cheerfully and dangled from the sky.

The first snow in Port Chris finally fell.

Although Chris Port is located in a temperate zone, it is still very cold in winter, especially because it is close to the sea, and the air-conditioning is endowed with a hint of dampness. Although it is not biting, it seems to have a magical attack. , can freeze your heart.

If it were the previous years, whenever it snowed, some people would freeze to death in Chris Port, especially those children from poor families, because they lacked enough warmth measures, and their young bodies were not strong enough to survive the severe cold test. There are many children who will always close their eyes when winter comes.

In the feudal farming era with extremely backward productivity and social system, the little match girl has never been a warm fairy tale, but the darkest but quite common social reality.

What is different from the past is that at this moment, facing the snowflakes falling above their heads, the residents of Chrisport no longer have the anxiety and urgency of previous years. A relatively relaxed state of mind, smiling to face this year's cold winter.

The reason is simple. The current ruler of Chrisport has used various powerful means to greatly develop the city's economic level, and the improvement of the general environment has also enhanced the ability of the city's residents to resist external crises.

To give the simplest example, in the past, a set of clothes that could be used to keep out the cold was relatively expensive due to the relatively complicated process, and not every family could afford it.

"Three years of new, three years of old, three years of sewing and mending", this sentence is not an exaggeration in the current era. Many civilian families' warm clothes are even passed down as important family property for several generations.

As for those who can't afford warm clothes, they have to endure the cold every time they encounter winter.

However, now, with Catalina's entry into Port Chris, she has brought advanced production technology to the city. Those daily necessities that were once extremely expensive due to technical reasons have become extremely cheap, such as warm clothes. Such originally expensive commodities can be easily handled by ordinary civilian families.

As a result, when facing the cold winter that would kill people in the past, people who have enough supplies to keep out the cold will naturally no longer be afraid, and can face the timely first snow with a relaxed mood.

As for Katerina, who has created all this, whenever the residents of Chris recall the cruel life in the past, they will pray for the girl from the bottom of their hearts, hoping that the girl, who is as kind as an angel, can find happiness.

It's a pity that people's prayers didn't seem to be heard by the gods. Katerina is in a very bad mood now, and the source of her discomfort is the imperial prince Reinhardt who came to her again for some unknown reason.

"...Your Highness, this should be your third visit to Chris this month, right?"

"I thought that as the crown prince of the empire, you would be very busy. Didn't you expect to be so leisurely~?"

At this moment, in a living room of the Marquis of Aaron's mansion, looking at the imperial prince who was sitting opposite her, leisurely tasting the red wine, Katerina resisted the irritability in her heart and rubbed the flames of the fireplace. His forehead was flushed red, and then he sighed pointedly.

For the imperial prince in front of her, Katerina felt more and more disgusted in her heart. Originally, as allies, the relationship between the two parties should have been closer. However, the desire in the heart of the person in front of the girl is becoming more and more unrestrained in behavior. .

Especially since the two sides reached an agreement to jointly deal with the threat of the church, the crown prince of the empire has always tried every means to extend the alliance between the two parties to personal feelings, which made the girl who only wanted to talk about the interests of the camp with the other party very uncomfortable.

Although Katerina had to endure the other party's "workplace harassment" because of the alliance between the two parties, after all, the girl is not a muddy character. Facing Reinhardt's over and over again, her words will inevitably bring a trace of anger.

"Hehe~"

On the other side, regarding Katerina's reaction at the moment, Reinhardt chuckled as if he didn't realize it. Then, he stared at the girl and gently raised the corner of his mouth,

"Miss Carter, are you caring about me~?"

"Concern~?" At this moment, hearing such shameless words from Reinhardt, Katerina could hardly hide the malice on her face, but fortunately, being in power for more than a year was not for nothing after all. After taking a deep breath, the girl finally forcibly suppressed the sarcasm that had come to her lips, and then said with a forced smile,

"You can take it as a kind of concern, but......"

After a simple perfunctory sentence, the girl forcibly changed the topic to the main topic in a soft tone.

"Now I still care more about the church. After all, there is still no news from the church. It's really worrying."

Hearing the girl's remarks, Reinhardt put down his wine glass leisurely, and then, as if everything was under control, he gave a soft chuckle,

"Miss Carter, do you have no confidence in the empire, or do you have no confidence in yourself?"

"The strategies you gave me before have shown unimaginable miraculous effects in punishing the church. Now the church has become a mess of ants on a hot pot."

"Currently, the presiding judge who caused the incident has been removed from his post, and he will be sentenced to exile soon, and the other participants will also have their own punishments. Judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the church backs down and bows its head. That's all."

"It's really hard to imagine that, as the master of those clever schemes, Miss Carter, you would actually be troubled by the church... Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, there are other reasons that really trouble Miss Carter Bar?"

I know you still ask!

Regarding Reinhardt's pretentiousness, Katerina raised her eyebrows calmly, and then she covered her lips with a light smile,

"Your Highness, you are so humorous~"

"Anyway, the church is also a powerful force that runs through the entire history of mankind. As an ordinary daughter of a nobleman, isn't it normal for me to be worried?"

Speaking of this, Katerina seemed to suddenly remember something, she suddenly clapped her hands and said in surprise,

"By the way, Your Highness, I suddenly remembered that there is still a very important matter to deal with. Since the church is no longer a problem, please excuse me..."

"Wait!" According to the etiquette of nobles, when a lady expresses that she is not accompanied by something, any gentleman with some cultivation should choose to be considerate, but at this moment, Reinhardt not only failed to consider the "reasonable" request of the girl, but was very rude. He interrupted the girl's words. Such a reckless move has never happened before.

"Excuse me, Your Highness..."

Katerina, who instinctively felt bad about the unexpected situation in front of her, tentatively said subconsciously,

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"Yes, Miss Carter." Facing Katerina's temptation, Reinhardt slightly restrained his smile, and after exhaling lightly, he said solemnly,

"Please don't leave in a hurry. I came to Chris this time because I have something very important to talk to you about. This matter is related to you, and it is very important. It may take some time for you."

"A very important thing? And it has something to do with me?" Seeing Reinhardt's appearance at this time, Katerina felt more and more wrong,

"Your Highness, what do you want to tell me?"

Hearing Katerina's question, Leinha narrowed his eyes slightly, then he stood up suddenly, and under the vigilant gaze of the girl, walked quickly to the girl and knelt down on one knee,

"What I want to say is......Miss Carter, I want to propose to you!"

After the words fell, and looking at the girl who was in extreme shock in front of him, Reinhardt continued to speak in an affectionate tone without waiting for the person on the other side to react,

"Please forgive my rashness, Miss Carter, I didn't want to mention this to you so early."

"However, in three solar terms, you will usher in your coming-of-age ceremony. With your excellence, you will definitely attract many suitors. I don't want to let myself be burned by jealousy, so I decided to finalize our relationship in advance. ......"

"Wait!" This time, the person who called to stop became Katerina. At this moment, the girl who finally recovered from the shock looked at the imperial prince kneeling in front of her with a frosty face. After taking a deep breath and calming down her irritable mood, she gritted her teeth and said,

"Your Highness, I don't think the relationship between us has reached the point where we can talk about marriage. Why are you so reckless?"

"And I thought...we were just allies~"

"Hehe, ally~" After hearing the girl's ruthless response, the hotness in Reinhardt's eyes did not go out, but became stronger. At the same time, his smile also became coquettish and treacherous. ,

"Miss Carter, you are a very smart girl. We have been together for so long. I think you should know my feelings for you."

"You are so outstanding that most men in this world can't match them. In this world, there is no one who is more suitable for you than me. You marry me, and I marry you. This is the destiny of both of us. .”

"Why, do you always keep me thousands of miles away?"

"...Your Highness, there are some things that I should confess to you~" At this moment, facing Reinhardt's words that were close to a showdown, Katerina was silent for a long time, and then sighed softly Finally, she finally said quietly,

"I have been a child without parents since I was a child. During the time before I was recognized back to the Duke's Mansion, I have been wandering in the gray area. In the past 13 years, I have seen the most terrifying darkness and the purest of light."
