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

"Katerina, what exactly do you want—?" When the girl's voice fell, looking at the girl who turned and left again, the young man named Jeff shouted as if he lost control of his emotions.

"No matter what you want, I will find a way to give it to you. As long as you are willing to stay by my side, I will do my best to treat you well!"

"Huh~~" At this moment, facing Jeff's irrational behavior, under the gaze of the people around, the girl let out a helpless breath.

When I was a man in my previous life, I didn't feel much about it, but since I was reincarnated as a girl, what the girl hates the most is this kind of person who has been sternly rejected, but still wants to stalk him.

Facing this kind of person, it would be very difficult to stand on the woman's side, just like today's young girls, it's not right to do it, or not to do it.

"What I want, you can't give me anything..."

Finally, after a moment of silence, the girl finally turned around helplessly, and looked at the young man in front of her with a cold face. Then, a cold voice suddenly sounded, echoing faintly in the square,

"I want a pair of wings to take me to the boundless sky and travel to every corner of the world;"

"I want a sharp blade to break the cage that binds me, so that I will no longer be a plaything of fate;"

"I want a pair of eyes to help me find the way forward in the fog, so that I will no longer be lost..."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Facing the girl's incomparably solemn announcement, the young man opposite seemed unable to understand her words and deeds, and was stunned. , he looked at the girl who seemed to be glowing all over, and seemed to want to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

As for the young man's reaction, the girl just smiled lightly,

"That's why I said, what I want, you can't give anything."

"Brilliant clothing and fine food, high bed and soft pillows, wealth and glory, or passionate love, these are not what I want, what I really desire is..."

"free."

Chapter 13 12. The Good Show Begins

"Freedom..."

At this moment, at the same time as the girl issued a declaration of freedom in the square, a cloaked man hidden in the crowd couldn't help but pull a trace of sarcasm and pity at the corner of his mouth.

This cloaked man is named Velos, and he is the elite captain of the shadow troop cultivated by the Aldan family. Because of his excellent ability, he has been placed next to the girl as a protective force recently, responsible for protecting the girl's safety. At the same time, it is also responsible for supervising the words and deeds of girls.

For his mission target who has been "getting along" for several months, Velos already has a considerable understanding of the girl, but he still couldn't help feeling deeply moved when he heard the girl's heartfelt confession at this time... …

"You really are a wayward young lady~~"

Velos's background is not considered noble. Like the girl, he is also the illegitimate child of a certain noble family. His bad background made his life difficult in the past.

Before being accepted by the Duke's mansion and becoming the elite captain of the Aldan family's shadow force, Velos experienced many hardships, being abused by his biological mother, ignored by his father, bullied by his peers, finally kicked out of the house by the noble lady, and even almost trafficked by human traffickers Selling into the filthiest place, it can be said that his previous life was completely a tragedy.

It was precisely because of that gloomy life that Velos's heart became quite distorted. The experience of being persecuted made him have a strong desire to improve. Contempt and even hatred in the heart.

Obviously, young girls are exactly the kind that Velos despises.

And unlike other playboys, Velos has even worse feelings towards girls. The reason is simple, because the girl had a childhood similar to his, but the girl did not follow the same path as him, becoming a ferocious predator. , to obtain nutrition by devouring other creatures crazily, or turn into a highly poisonous flower, relying on its beautiful appearance to kill seekers to nourish itself.

Although he is very reluctant, Velos must admit that at this moment, on the square, under the eyes of everyone, the girl who is declaring her pursuit loudly and embraced by the sun is so bright, her light shines so brightly. , The pierced Velos' eyes hurt.

In Velos' mind, all of this should not have been the case.The same gloomy childhood, the same tragic encounter, he can only devote himself to the darkness, but the girl is still embracing the light, and even has the mind to pursue some completely meaningless things in his opinion.

This kind of differential treatment is so unfair and unforgivable!

So, Velos intends to make things fairer......

"Attention everyone, the ceremony will end soon, keep your eyes wide open and be vigilant!"

"I have a hunch that our wayward young lady will not let the ceremony end obediently, so be careful!"

After glancing at the young girl in the square again, Velos gave orders to the surrounding subordinates in a secret way with a blank face.

In any case, the girl is a child of the Duke's family. It is impossible for Velos to do anything to the girl, but there is no need for him to do anything. He just needs to follow the order to keep a close eye on the girl.

As an illegitimate child, Velos has a clear understanding of the fate of the illegitimate child.

Almost all illegitimate children have to face an extremely rough life. If the boy is a little bit better, as long as there is no fundamental conflict with the main family, there is still hope that he can struggle out of the quagmire in the future, but the fate of the girls is extremely miserable. .

This era is not very friendly to women, and the fate of illegitimate daughters is even more difficult.

For the vast majority of women, whether they can marry a good family basically determines whether their future life will be happy or not, and the illegitimate daughters of the nobles are doomed from the beginning, they will face a messy marriage.

No way, although illegitimate daughters are not honorable, they are nobles after all, and the noble class has the responsibility and obligation to defend the "purity" of noble blood, so it is absolutely impossible for an illegitimate daughter to marry a commoner, but it is almost impossible for a normal noble family Marry an illegitimate daughter who will affect the family's reputation.

As a result, the marriage partners of illegitimate daughters are often only crooked melons and jujubes among the nobles. The man either has physical problems, or psychological problems, or is carrying some vicious curse.

It is entirely conceivable that such a family woman will basically not end well if she marries in the past.

Although the girl is the duke's daughter, she is only an illegitimate daughter after all. Since she is an illegitimate daughter, the girl naturally cannot escape the fate that an illegitimate daughter will face.

Thinking of the girl's miserable future, Velos' mood suddenly improved a lot, as if looking at a flower that was about to wither, Velos looked at the girl with pleasure and sarcasm... ......

【Longing for freedom~? 】

[Dreams still have to wait until night, miss! 】

"Boss, do we really need to be so serious~?"

At this moment, just as Velos was sinking into his own negative emotions, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him. Looking intently, at some point, a man in a gray shirt had come behind Velos.

Immediately afterwards, after glancing at the direction of the square, the man said in a nonchalant tone,

"Isn't she a young lady?"

"Although I heard that she is different from ordinary noble ladies, she is a bit capable, but now there are our people everywhere around, and the city guards are always supporting me, so it is so hard for this young lady to make any big disturbances? "

"Don't be careless!"

Facing the man's remarks, Velos said coldly without looking back,

"This lady is not the noble lady in your impression. I have carefully investigated her past. She started following [Blue Widow] when she was nine years old, and was accepted as a student by her."

"In the following few years, this eldest lady has gained a lot of fame in the dark world, and has even been regarded as the heir of the blue widow. If she hadn't accidentally exposed the identity of the duke's illegitimate daughter, now she is very He may already be the head of the [Revenant] branch."

"You know, she's only 13 years old!"

"Feel your ass and think about it, what are you doing when you are 13 years old?!"

"So this young lady is so powerful?" After hearing what Velos said, the man couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then said angrily,

"Sure enough, as expected of the blood of the Aldan family, even the illegitimate daughter is so outstanding......"

"Don't talk nonsense, concentrate, she seems to be about to move!" It seemed that something was wrong, and before the man finished speaking, Velos quickly interrupted the man with a wave of his hand.

After hearing Velos' sudden warning, the man straightened his expression immediately, and then looked at the square. After seeing the movement in the square, the man murmured subconsciously,

"Boss, miss... what does she want~~?"

Velos didn't give any answer to the man's doubts. He just concentrated his energy further and stared at every movement of the girl.

At this moment, the girl did not know when, but she walked out of the group of girls alone, and stood in the center of the square under the bewildered eyes of the people.

Such a weird move naturally aroused Velos' high vigilance.

To be honest, the girl's weird behavior at the moment did not surprise Velos, and there was even a feeling of "finally moving".As one of the girl's monitors, Velos has been secretly fighting the girl for the past few months, so he knows that the girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It is no secret that the other party wants to escape from the city, but he can't find it It was only by chance that he pretended to be a good boy, and now he suddenly made such a weird move, there must be fraud in it.

However, it is one thing to know what the girl is going to do, and another thing to know exactly how the girl is going to do it.

Although Velos despises the innocence and naivety of the girl's thinking, he has never underestimated the girl's ability. Through these days of understanding, he has a very deep understanding that the girl is a female fox with tricks in every strand of her hair. , how careful can not be overstated.

"Immediately send an order to find any reason to pull the young lady out of the square......Limited use of force is allowed!"

Finally, after thinking about it carefully, but still unable to figure out what the girl is going to do next, Velos decided to act first, anyway, no matter what the girl wants to do, she just needs to control her first. Girls just can't do it.

As for the possible questioning from the leader in the future, Velos is not at all panicked. After all, the girl who made such a scene is definitely going to cause trouble. After controlling the person first, she will investigate slowly. I believe that the problem will be found out.

However, Velos had just given the order, and before the man beside him could move, he saw the girl in the center of the square looking straight at where he was for the first time.

At this moment, facing the abnormal behavior of the girl, Velos instinctively tensed up for some reason, and then he saw the girl smiling and opening her mouth, as if she was saying something to him.

Due to the distance, Velos couldn't hear the girl's words clearly, but as an elite of the Aldan family's shadow force, it was not difficult for him to distinguish lips.

After just a short while, Velos discerned what the girl wanted to convey to him through the shape of the girl's mouth......

"Everyone, the show has begun~~"

Chapter 14 13. The world of adults is cruel

A few minutes ago, in an office located in the mansion of the lord of Morodo City, Duke Aldan, the lord of Morodo City, was sitting quietly behind a desk, flipping through an old book that looked old, while Listen to the report of your steward.

"...Because there was an accident with the carriage of Madam and Miss on the road, which delayed a lot of time. After entering the city, the harvest celebration had already begun, and the original journey had become extremely difficult. Crowded."

"For safety reasons, Cavalier Howard proposed to his wife to switch the route. After the wife agreed, the convoy changed direction and chose to enter the city from the south gate."

"Then, on the way to the City Lord's Mansion, the Madam's convoy met Viscountess Anna's convoy by chance. Originally, Madam was just going to say hello, but at that time a celebration parade suddenly appeared on the street. The road was blocked again and it was impossible to move forward for a short time."

"So at the invitation of the Viscountess, the Madam simply chose to take the young lady to a nearby jewelry store and told me to come back and report to you......"

"Wait!" Listening to the butler's report, Duke Aldan originally just stared at the book in his hand without saying a word, but after hearing the butler say that his daughter also went shopping with his wife, he suddenly put down the book and spoke interrupted the steward's words,

"You mean...Diana went with her~?"

Facing the duke's inquiry, the butler was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly responded,

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"Miss Lucica, the daughter of the Viscountess, was also present at the time and sent an invitation to Miss Diana, so..."

"I see!" The next moment, before the butler finished speaking, Duke Aldan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then the Duke suddenly asked the butler a strange question,

"Karbas, if I remember correctly, that little bastard Joshua should not have left yet, right?"

"Your Excellency, do you mean His Highness the Third Prince?" At this moment, the butler shook his head slightly at the weird question suddenly raised by the Duke and the slightly sensitive title, and then quickly replied,

"You remember correctly, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is indeed still staying in the city."

"Since two months ago, His Royal Highness the Third Prince arrived in Morodo City secretly with a small number of guards on the grounds of investigating the death of Baron Adrian Vinal, and has never left."

"According to your instructions, apart from keeping track of His Highness's whereabouts, we did not interfere too much."

After listening to the butler's reply, Duke Aldan narrowed his eyes suddenly, then asked again with raised brows,

"What has that little bastard been doing in my territory during this time?"
