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

Mrs. Alberti's feelings towards Katerina are very complicated. On the one hand, she is very grateful to Katerina for taking the initiative to save the Aaron family from the fire and water at the most critical moment of the Aaron family under great pressure. But on the other hand, Katerina's "unconventional behavior" also made Mrs. Alberti feel very uncomfortable.

Like most aristocratic women, Mrs. Alberti is also a product of the traditional aristocratic women's education program, and her ideology matches the mainstream society's perception of aristocratic women.

So of course, when she first met Caterina, Mrs. Alberti instinctively held an attitude of disgust in her heart when facing a girl who did not abide by the rules of nobility at all. According to her inherent cognition, this Aldan family's The eldest daughter, sooner or later, will suffer greatly because of her inappropriate words and deeds, and will eventually face the cold barrier of reality.

However, what happened next was completely beyond Mrs. Alberti's imagination.

It is obvious that Katerina does not abide by the rules of nobility at all, and her words and deeds completely deviate from the basic fantasies that women should have. The edge was rescued, and the Aaronian aristocratic interest group that should have been disintegrated was reintegrated together. This development completely overturned Mrs. Alberti's cognition.

Consequenceism is the unchangeable instinct of human beings. As long as the final result of something meets the success standard in most people's minds, most people will take this successful result as the preset answer, and then deduce the process in reverse. .

The same is true for Mrs. Alberti. Katerina's success has shattered her inherent cognition, making her doubt her past experience, and she dare not judge the right or wrong of things at will.

It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Alberti, who understood the purpose of her son's move, did not know what to do when facing Castro's "persuasion".

Finally, after hesitating for a long time, the hostess of the Aaron family said with a perfunctory dry smile,

"Sorry, Master Castro, you may not know that I am no longer the head of the Aaron family, my son is the heir of the Aaron family, and now he has the final say in the family, even I can't interfere with him decision."

Hearing Mrs. Alberti's answer, Castro frowned, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes. It seemed that this situation exceeded his expectations, but he was not someone who gave up so easily. After a short thought, he I was going to speak again to "persuade", but before I could say anything, a roll call suddenly sounded in the hall......

"Miss Caterina Aldan arrives~~"

The moment the sound sounded, everyone in the hall paused at the same time, and then everyone turned their attention to the source of the sound...

At this moment, at the stairway on the second floor of the hall, a well-dressed girl walked down the steps gracefully, holding on to the smooth handrail of the stairs.

Under the light, the young girl's appearance is elegant and beautiful, and her exquisite facial features are like a painting. Looking intently, she can see two black eyebrows like spring mountains, and her eyes are as clear as autumn water. The most eye-catching thing is the young girl's eyes. The eyes in her eyes are clearly of a girl's body, but her eyes are as firm and clear as a soldier's.

【Is this the eldest daughter of the Aldan family? 】

At this moment, looking at the girl who was slowly walking down the stairs, Castro's breathing instinctively began to become rapid, and he even had to lower his head in the end to hide the dark and mysterious look in his eyes.

As the eldest son of the viscount family, Castro is by no means the kind of man whose legs go limp when he sees a beautiful woman. In fact, he has played with so many women that he can't even remember. I have tasted it, and I am definitely a veteran of flowers.

But even so, when facing the girl in front of him, Castro couldn't restrain a burning desire from his heart... Wanting to be severely whipped by the girl in front of him... whip!

"Miss Carter~"

Regardless of the changes in Castro's heart, after seeing Katerina's arrival, Arlo, who had been confronting Castro, glanced at his duel opponent with disdain, and quickly greeted the girl. Go up, and then, he called the girl in a relatively intimate manner, as if to prove something.

As for Arlo's title, Katerina, who easily sensed that the other party was thinking carefully, just raised her eyebrows slightly, and then asked calmly,

"Arlo, what happened here?"

"Miss Carter, you came just in time!"

As if he had expected that Katerina would have such an inquiry, Arlo immediately pointed to Castro on the opposite side and complained loudly,

"This guy is extremely disgusting. Not only did he break the oath of the Aaron family, he also tried to come here to sow discord!"

"The most important thing is that he has demeaned the Aldan family's honor before, and I am teaching him a lesson!"

After listening to Arlo's accusation, Katerina seemed to have heard something, first glanced at him with a half-smile, and then turned her head leisurely after seeing the heir of the Aaron family's face unnaturally. , looked at Castro on the opposite side.

After looking up and down, Katerina's face suddenly turned cold, and then she said indifferently,

"I heard that you just slandered the honor of the Aldan family~?"

"Dear Miss Katerina, please listen to me, this is a complete misunderstanding!"

At this moment, facing the girl's questioning, Castro, who finally remembered his own mission, quickly suppressed the desire in his heart. After swallowing his saliva, he hurriedly explained,

"I swear, I have never said or done to slander the honor of the Aldan family, just now I just......"

"So, you are here for me~?"

The next moment, before Castro finished speaking, the girl sneered and spoke first,

"Very well, I admire your courage, but I hope your abilities can match your courage."

At this point, Katerina did not give Castro a chance to explain at all. She waved her hand suddenly, and then ordered in a cold voice,

"Draw your sword!"

"Since you are coming for me, then I will take over this duel!"

"Miss Katerina, please believe me, I really..." At this moment, facing the girl's unquestionable order, Castro was still trying to calm down the conflict.However, for some reason, the girl seemed determined, and said coldly, not giving Castro a chance at all,

"I said... draw your sword!"

Finally, it seemed that she realized that Katerina was determined to use this opportunity to find fault at this moment. After taking a deep breath, Castro walked forward slowly under the attention of everyone, and then pulled out He took out the long sword hanging from his waist.

Seeing this, Katerina narrowed her eyes slightly, and then, she suddenly stretched out her hand, snatched the long sword from Arlo's hand at the side, and then made a standard duel etiquette in front of everyone's horrified eyes. It seems that he is really preparing to fight Castro.

The next moment, just when everyone realized that the situation was not good and was about to speak out to warn them, before Katerina could make another move, they heard a deep voice echoing in the hall...... ....

"I admit defeat~"

ps: Today is the first update, and there should be another update tonight, and if nothing unexpected happens, the author plans to make double updates in the past two days, try to make up for the missing chapters

Chapter 76 73. The upcoming imperial envoy

The voice sounded, and there was an instant silence in the hall. Everyone's eyes were focused on Castro, and the eldest son of Viscount Abt's family didn't change his face when everyone was staring at him, but after Katerina looked over, He slowly bent down and half-kneeled on the ground, then raised the long sword he had just drawn above his head, and signaled to everyone without any scruples that he was willing to admit defeat in this duel.

On the other side, looking at Castro who surrendered in such a humble manner, the girl standing with a sword couldn't help narrowing her eyes. Obviously, Castro's current choice was something the girl had never expected before.

According to Katerina's idea, she originally planned to use her powerful magical power to violently suppress Castro under the pretext of a duel, so as to dampen his spirit. On the one hand, she wanted to gain momentum in the subsequent negotiations. The upper hand, on the other hand, is also for the sake of his allies, the Aaron family, and let out a bad breath.

As for the result of the duel, Katerina was not worried at all, because she had already investigated the strength of the eldest son of the Viscount Abbot in detail before coming here, and she was very convinced that she could easily crush the opponent.

But what Katerina didn't expect was that, in the face of this unavoidable duel, Castro actually chose to lie down and admit shit.

You must know that due to their own feudal characteristics, nobles have become animals that are extremely honor-seeking. According to the rules of the nobles, it is absolutely not allowed to admit defeat in a duel. This kind of behavior is considered shameful. Once someone does If he did this kind of behavior, then he could only hand over his own fate to his opponent to decide.

In other words, even if Catalina chooses to kill Castro at this time, she will not have to bear any legal pressure at all, and Viscount Abt will not be able to use this as a reason to retaliate... At least not on the surface.

Therefore, regarding Castro's actions, Katerina couldn't figure it out for a while. She didn't understand why the other party dared to entrust her fate to her for adjudication, as if she was not worried at all that she would take the opportunity to kill her.

But soon, when she changed her mind and began to think about how to deal with Castro, Katerina suddenly realized that the other party seemed to really not have to worry about her being killed, because she had no reason to do so, and the "unity is strength" she revealed to the outside His political philosophy is doomed not to act recklessly.

In this way, looking back at Castro's actions, Katerina found that the opponent's behavior of admitting defeat in the duel just now was the best choice at present.

[Can endure what ordinary people can't bear... this guy is a little bit capable~]

After figuring out the key points, Katerina looked at Castro again, and suddenly became a little dignified. After silently looking at the person kneeling in front of her for a long time, she said faintly,

"Your Excellency Castro, it's cold on the ground, let's get up and talk first~"

Hearing the girl's voice, Castro raised his head slightly. Afterwards, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he responded in a sincere tone,

"Sorry, Miss Katerina, I am the loser of the duel, you haven't announced how to deal with me, I can't get up for the time being."

"You guy, you're shameless, right?"

Facing Castro's reaction, Katerina, who was angry in her heart, snorted coldly and said,

"Okay, if you want to find something, then I will help you."

"look here.........."

As she spoke, the girl pointed to her instep, then sneered and continued,

"My shoes are dirty, as your punishment for passively facing the duel, you lick my shoes clean now!"

After the words fell, Katerina raised her chin proudly according to the standards of nobles, then stretched out a foot in front of Castro, and then stared at the man kneeling in front of her with a mocking gaze. A humiliating gesture.

However, even though it was such an action, Katerina really didn't intend to let Castro do this. Her purpose was to warn Castro not to be obedient if he got the advantage.

However, at the next moment, something that the girl never expected happened. After she stretched out her foot, the eldest son of Viscount Abt's family held her foot in his hands, and then stuck out his tongue. It looks like he really intends to lick it down.

Immediately, Katerina was shocked by Castro's behavior, especially after noticing the perverted joy in the man's eyes, she felt that something was wrong. He withdrew his foot hesitantly.

"enough!"

After pulling back the soles of her feet, Katerina, who was so disgusted, subconsciously stomped her feet, while coldly yelling at the man with a calm face in front of her,

"Your Excellency Castro, you really have no sense of shame."

Facing the girl's scolding, the corner of Castro's mouth curled into a weird arc,

"Miss Katerina, members of our Abbott family, have always kept our promises. As long as it is something promised, we will continue to do it even when it is difficult."

"What's more...hehe, your request is not too much for me~"

"Shut up, you disgusting bastard..." Facing Castro's shameless words, Arlo, who was standing aside, couldn't help it before the girl could respond. up.

At this moment, the heir of the Aaron family stared at Castro with a look of resentment, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of meat from his face.For Arlo, who had just experienced a trough in his life not long ago, Katerina held a very special place in his heart, and how could he tolerate such "humiliation" by Castro.

At this moment, Arlo had only one thought in his mind, which was to deal with the bastard named Castro in front of him fiercely. However, before Arlo could turn the resentment in his heart into practical actions, the girl had already taken a step to stop him.

"Arlo, stand back."

Facing the girl's order, although he was very unwilling, Arlo finally gritted his teeth and chose to back away, but his eyes were still fixed on Castro, as if he was going to stare at him to death.

On the other side, Castro completely ignored Arlo's reaction, he just looked at Katerina with a smile, as if he only saw the girl in front of him.

Regarding the current situation, Katerina first comforted Arlo a little, then frowned, and said to Castro,

"It's been punished just now. You get up first. Of course, if you really want to kneel and talk, I don't object."

Listening to Katerina's words, this time, Castro didn't refuse again, but stood up with a slight smile. After that, he lowered his head and stood aside, as if waiting for the girl's instructions.

Seeing this, the girl raised her eyebrows and said coldly,

"I believe you should have checked what kind of person I am before you come, so I won't talk nonsense with you."

"Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"

"Don't try to perfuse me. Your father has been hiding from me for so long, and my patience has long been exhausted. If you dare to say a word of nonsense, I will have someone kick you out now."

At this moment, facing Katerina's extremely direct question, the smile on Castro's face paused slightly, but soon, he responded with the same expression,

"Okay, Miss Katerina, I would like to respect your will."

"This time I am here to visit you on behalf of the Abt family, mainly because I have an important matter to communicate with you."

Speaking of this, Castro paused for a moment, and then looked at Katerina's position, as if waiting for someone to take over. However, after a while, he found that the girl in front of him didn't have the slightest intention of flattering him. He continued without embarrassment at all,

"Our Abt family has a blood relative in the Pusid Empire, she is a baroness, and her husband works as a clerk in the palace of the Pusid Empire, and can often contact the emperor of the Pusid Empire ................"

At this point, Castro stopped speaking again, and looked at Katerina, as if paying attention to the girl's reaction.
