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

"Heh~!" After hearing the news from Viscount Wayne, Katerina couldn't help but sneered,

"That tuberculosis ghost wants to do something again? He's dying of illness, so why doesn't he want to be reassured?"

At this moment, the "Your Majesty" they mentioned is actually the current king of the Kingdom of Florida, Nock Alfred.

For this person, Katerina looked down on him from the bottom of her heart. In the girl's perception, the King of Florida was a complete scum.

Because of his poor health and lack of control over the kingdom's political arena, this person is extremely suspicious. Everyone seems to be a challenger to his throne, but he has no skills. Even the interpersonal relationship around him has become a mess.

Take Princess Hill as an example. Princess Hill is not the original queen, but the third wife married by King Nok. Both her original queen and the previous princess ended up miserable. Basically, she was calculated to die by King Nok. .

The reason why Princess Hill chose to live a peaceful life and join forces with Katerina to interfere in the kingdom's politics, apart from her own ambitions, was largely because she was forced by King Nok There is a way.

For a long time, the king of Nok has been using the throne as a bait to stir up conflicts among the heirs to the throne, and then acted as a referee himself, trying to ensure the stability of his ruling position.

It would be fine if the Nok king really had the ability to profit from chaos. The problem is that he only has the ability to fight fires, but he has no ability to quell conflicts. This makes the conflicts between the various heirs to the throne often intensified. to a very serious extent.

At the time when Katerina was about to be taken back to the Duke's mansion, the third prince of the Kingdom of Florida, Joshua Alfred, the son of Princess Hill, once calculated that he was only young at the time. The marriage of nine-year-old Diana.

It wasn't because the third prince really had any special hobbies, it was simply forced by the extremely bad situation in the capital at that time, and the person who created this situation was the King Nok.

However, if that was the case, Katerina would not be so disgusted with that King Nok. After all, the girl was always busy, and she had no time or energy to focus on irrelevant things.

However, this King Nok had no self-consciousness at all, and insisted on provoking Katerina, which made the girl have an extremely bad impression of him.

Regarding the conflict between the two parties, we must start with Princess Hill’s shareholding in [the company]. At that time, Princess Hill personally spent a lot of effort to raise funds for Katerina, so it is natural that when dividing the equity, Katerina will Part of the company's equity was handed over to Princess Hill in the name of the royal family.

Originally, Katerina thought that the matter would end here, but the King Nok seemed to have developed hatred for the girl because of this matter, and various small actions continued after that.

At first, Katerina didn't understand why the other party kept making trouble for her. It wasn't until Princess Hill sent a letter to explain, that the girl finally realized that the other party forcibly regarded the shares that should have belonged to Princess Hill as her own. property.

However, because Princess Hill's natal family is quite strong and cannot be snatched by strong means, and the King Nok is unwilling to pay political chips in exchange (establish a reserve), the whole matter has been deadlocked.

In the end, after a series of confrontations, King Nok still failed to win against Princess Hill, so that part of the equity that nominally belonged to the royal family was always firmly held by Princess Hill.

King Nok was unwilling to admit his failure, so he put his hatred on Katerina. He seemed to think that it was the girl who gave what should belong to him to Princess Hill, which made things so complicated.

For such a person, Katerina would naturally not have a good face. After figuring out the cause of the matter, the girl decisively gave the other party a deep enough lesson.

Originally, Katerina thought that King Nok would be a little more honest, but now it seems that the other party doesn't seem to have a long memory at all, and started to make trouble again.

"Tell me, what kind of idea did that consumptive man come up with?"

At this moment, after rubbing her temples irritably, Katerina suddenly asked Viscount Wayne, and hearing the girl's words full of maliciousness towards King Nok, Viscount Wayne seemed to feel nothing wrong at all. It's okay, he smiled wryly and shook his head,

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

"Because His Majesty directly invited the imperial envoy to his bedroom at that time, the place where the two talked was too secretive, and no one knows what they talked about until now, but......"

Speaking of this, Viscount Wayne suddenly changed the topic,

"Her Royal Highness asked me to tell you that she thinks that the content of the conversation between the two of them is likely to be related to Chris Harbor, so you should prepare early."

"That's it..." After listening to Viscount Wayne's explanation, the girl nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Viscount Wayne again,

"Has Hill explained anything else?"

"No, this is what Her Royal Highness asked me to tell you..." Regarding Katerina's question, Viscount Wayne shook his head, but soon, as if he suddenly remembered something, Suddenly he added,

"Wait, there is one more thing!"

"My lord, I recently heard a rumor from a certain merchant about the empire..."

At this point, Viscount Wayne seemed to have something hard to say in his heart, and his expression was quite tangled, but in the end, under the girl's puzzled eyes, the old man still continued to say bravely,

"The merchant told me that a white tower seems to be being built in the palace of the imperial capital [Bernold] recently..."

"enough!"

At this moment, before Viscount Wayne could finish speaking, Katerina interrupted with a cold snort, and then ended the conversation. On the other hand, Viscount Wayne also seemed to know that the girl needs to be alone right now. So he got up to leave immediately, and Celia who was nearby quickly set off to see him off.

After the backs of the two disappeared into the living room together, Katerina, who was left alone in the living room, turned cold and severe in an instant, and there was a faint hint of disgust between her brows.

Katerina is no stranger to the term "White Tower". When Reinhardt failed to propose marriage, he mentioned this term very clearly. Because he didn't know its meaning at the time, the girl went to investigate it.

After getting the result, Katerina was disgusted by the story behind the word.

The so-called "White Tower" is actually a prison for prisoners. It has not been built for a long time, only more than 20 years. Unlike normal prisons, the status of the prisoners held in the White Tower is very special. They are all queens of the empire. The closest person ever!

It is said that the Empress of the Empire, who used to be Princess Shiro, refused to marry the Emperor after being captured by the Empire, and had been trying to escape and self-mutilate.

Therefore, in order to make the princess "change her mind", the emperor, who was still the prince at that time, built a white tower, and locked in all the close people around the princess.

From then on, every time the princess escaped, the emperor would grab a prisoner from the tower and kill him in front of the princess. Every time the princess self-mutilated, the damage she suffered would be ten times and a hundred times inflicted on the White Tower. on the prisoners.

At the same time, the emperor of the empire also told the princess very clearly that if the princess really succeeded in committing suicide, then he would definitely make life worse for all the prisoners in the White Tower!

In the end, under this extremely cruel trick, the princess succumbed completely. Since then, the empire has had the most beautiful queen in the world...... This is the story of the White Tower.

After learning about this story about the "White Tower", Katerina's whole body was in a bad mood, and then she regretted deeply, regretting why she didn't think of a way to kill that damn Reinhardt.

Also, it was from then on that Katerina was determined to establish herself as a king and establish a country of her own, not because she was greedy for power, but if she could not make herself strong enough to fight against the empire. degree, then the final outcome is a dead end...... No, it is difficult to die!

Just thinking about the end of that princess made Katerina feel chills all over her body, and thinking about how Reinhardt was going to treat herself in the same way, the girl was so disgusting that she wanted to blow his dog's head right away!

The current situation is very clear, Reinhardt is obviously a black-hearted version of Li Chengyin, if he doesn't want to become Xiaofeng and be caught back to play life-and-death sadomasochism, then there is only one way left... ....

Become more powerful than the Empire!

Chapter 112 109. The will of fate?

"despair!"

At noon, when the sun was shining brightly, in the back garden of the Imperial Palace, a clear and crisp impact sounded suddenly. Following the sound, it turned out that someone was playing chess in the gazebo in the garden.Taking a closer look, the two players who were playing chess were indeed the emperor of the Pusid Empire—His Majesty William West and his son Reinhardt.

At this moment, when I put my eyes on the stone chessboard, I saw that the black and white sides were engaged in a deadly fight without gunpowder. The white chess team looked very good, while the black side was almost cornered. , it seems that as long as white moves one more move, black will declare defeat with one move.

And at this moment, Emperor William, who was playing with a black chess piece in his hand, glanced at Reinhardt who was in deep thought, and suddenly smiled lightly and said,

"Ryan, it's already reached this point, are you still refusing to admit defeat?"

Hearing his father's inquiry, Reinhardt, who was sitting across from him thinking about the chess strategy, raised his head in a daze for a while, then shook his head with a relaxed expression and said with a smile,

"Father, never give up fighting until the last moment, this is what you taught me, besides..."

At this point, Reinhardt suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed a black piece on the chessboard a few squares forward, and when he looked over at this moment, he saw that the situation on the chessboard suddenly changed. There was no sign of a comeback, but Bai Zi's pressing momentum was stopped.

At this moment, looking at the slightly surprised Emperor William, Reinhardt smiled calmly,

"You see, until the last moment, the outcome is always unpredictable."

On the other side, after staring at the chessboard, he was sure that the black side had found a way out and could not completely defeat it in a short time. Emperor William couldn't help but sighed softly, and then threw the black piece in his hand into the At the same time, he said in a calm tone,

"Very good, it seems that you have indeed grown a lot......"

Speaking of this, Emperor William raised his head and glanced at his son who was beaming with joy. After knocking on the chessboard calmly, he suddenly changed the subject,

"But it's not enough to grow!"

"Oh~~?" Faced with his father's sudden remarks, Reinhardt couldn't help but raised his brows, but the reaction was not intense. There was still a smile on the face of the imperial crown prince, looking at his father's scrutiny. , shrugged in response,

"That's right. If I compare it with my father, no matter how much I grow up, it is far from enough."

"Oh!" Hearing Reinhardt's words, Emperor William's eyes suddenly became thinner, and then he suddenly sneered,

"Don't be perfunctory to me. I know what you're thinking. I'm afraid I, an old man, have long since been ignored by you, right?"

Facing such severe accusations, the smile on Reinhardt's face finally couldn't hold back. After carefully thinking about his recent actions, the imperial prince quickly corrected his posture, and then sincerely asked his father for advice. ,

"Father, I don't know what I did to make you so angry?"

Regarding Reinhardt's doubts, Emperor William did not answer, but asked coldly

"What do you think?"

"This..." Reinhardt couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when facing the unclear tone of questioning from Emperor William, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he tentatively said,

"Could it be... because of Guidiwei Island~?"

Guidiwei Island is an overseas territory belonging to the empire. There are almost no native products on this island, and its economic value is very low, but its military value is extremely high, because this island happens to be stuck on several roads leading to the empire's seaport. on an important channel.

Therefore, although the empire has to spend a lot of money every year to maintain its control over the island, the higher-ups of the empire with high vision are still willing to spend the money after all.

But just recently, the ownership of Guidiwei Island suddenly fell into the hands of the Burros Kingdom, and the Burros Kingdom did not obtain its ownership by violence, but was actively transferred by the empire under the banner of lease.

If this matter had been placed two years ago, it would have been impossible to happen. You must know that both the Burros Kingdom and the Pusid Empire regard each other as the only competitors at sea, and it is absolutely impossible for the empire to do this. A self-destructing thing about the Great Wall.

However, not long ago, this shocking and absurd thing really happened, and the high-level leader of the empire who led the process of this incident was Reinhardt!

After thinking about it for a long time, Reinhardt thought about it, and felt that this was the only thing that might offend his father, but just as he was about to explain it, he heard Emperor William snort coldly,

"Ryan, do you think your father and I have aged to the point of being fatuous?"

"Guidiwei Island is the only sea barrier in the south of the empire, and it is also the highest-quality naval port of the Imperial Navy. If you don't have my permission, you think you can convince those navies who regard Guidiwei Island as their lifeblood General, get them to agree to give the island to the pirate descendants of Burrose?"

"Don't be too arrogant. There are many people who come to me to complain about Guidiwei Island these days. If I hadn't suppressed it forcibly, how could you have the peace of mind you are now?!"

"Eh~" After hearing Emperor William's sarcastic remarks, Reinhardt was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he put on a wry smile,

"Father, please forgive my stupidity. Except for the lease agreement on Guidiwei Island, the son really doesn't know what made the father so angry."

"Heh!" At this moment, facing Reinhardt's resignation, Emperor William did not answer directly, but hummed softly with unknown meaning. Afterwards, he raised his eyebrows slightly and moved a white pawn on the chessboard. I wanted to take a step forward, and after doing all this, I heard the emperor of the empire say indifferently,

"I heard that you are going to build a white tower in the palace~?"

At this moment, upon hearing his father's inquiry, Reinhardt, who was picking up a black chess piece and preparing to do something, suddenly paused slightly, and then he moved the chess piece a few squares calmly , and at the same time chuckled without changing his expression,

"Yes, father."

"Before this, I have asked for your opinion, and I remember that you agreed at that time."

"Yes, I really have no objection to your building the tower..." In response to Reinhardt's temptation, Emperor William's eyes suddenly became sharper, and then, the pressure as heavy as a mountain, It pressed hard on Reinhardt's body.

"But I didn't let you tear down my tower!"

At this moment, facing the terrifying coercion of the emperor from the most powerful country on the mainland, and feeling the almost substantive weight in his heart, Reinhardt couldn't help closing his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was as if Like the heir of the lion king who initiated the challenge, the crown prince of the empire no longer showed any sign of retreat, but only the most determined tit-for-tat confrontation.

"Father, my mother has passed away for almost ten years, and there are no living people in your tower. My son thinks..."

"You should let go~~"

As the voice fell, the atmosphere in the gazebo suddenly became extremely depressing, and the air seemed to freeze, making it difficult to breathe. At this moment, the father and son who stood at the peak of power in the human world stared at each other, with swords and swords in their eyes , no one has the intention of backing down.
