Pregnant female is super soft and fragrant, the orc hugs the waist and kisses

Chapter 111 Independence.

When Grace walked out of the gate of the First Military District, she saw Secretary General Reinska standing not far away.

When the other party saw him, he raised his hand and waved, indicating that he was there.

Grace walked over and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Reinska said apologetically, "I'm here to apologize to you."

"What did you do wrong?" Grace looked extremely calm, as if she really didn't know why Reinska came.

Reinska sighed. "It's all my fault for talking nonsense without understanding the situation clearly. When Lady Victoria asked about you, I just thought she was curious and told her that you were Duke Luxia's husband-servant. I didn't know you were already the head husband at that time, and I never thought Victoria had such an idea. So I'm sorry. I caused trouble for you and Duke Luxia by saying too much. I feel deeply guilty."

Grace nodded, "I see."

"If you need it, I can compensate you."

"I'll contact you if I need you." Grace didn't refuse, which made Reinska, who felt she had done something wrong, feel better. "Congratulations on becoming a househusband."

"Thank you. I have other things to do, so I won't keep you talking."

"Okay, you can contact me anytime you need."

After watching Reinska leave, Grace lit a cigarette. In the smoke, Grace seemed to have made some decision.

After putting out the cigarette, Grace waited until the smell on his body dissipated before opening the car door and getting into the hovercar, because Lu Xia often rode in his car.

He didn't want Lu Xia to smell the smoke.

Not even a little bit.

In the dark and damp corridor, the dim lights make the place even more depressing.

Grace handed the coat in her hand to the guard at the door and walked inside.

The prisons on both sides of the corridor were pitch black, like the huge mouths of wild beasts, ready to swallow people at any time.

Grace didn't stop until he reached the end of the corridor. He raised his hand to take off his black gloves, scanned his fingerprints, listened to the mechanical confirmation, and then the door in front of him opened.

The door opened, and warm sunlight shone in. Grace looked at the middle-aged man with gray hair sitting on the ground, and closed the door casually.

No one would believe that in a place like the underground dark city, there is a room like this that can receive sunlight, with many books and mechanical facilities inside, which is messy yet orderly.

It's like someone has lived here for a long time.

"You're such a rare visitor, Grace! I thought you were so immersed in your comfort zone that you'd forgotten the existence of a father like me." "If I don't remember you, you'll probably be forgotten by the world. After all, to the outside world, you've been dead for many years."

Grace kicked the parts away from her feet and sat on the sofa, watching the man sitting there fiddling with the scattered parts.

"Oh, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten. How did you find time to come here? Didn't your mistress already promote you to be the master husband? Why do you still look so sad? Were you abandoned so soon?"

Grace didn't respond, which surprised the man. He turned to look at him and said, "Or have you thought it through and think what I said makes sense?"

"Please don't be silent, okay? I know you're upset because you've caused trouble for your beloved mistress. You're full of self-blame now, right? That means you're not strong enough, and the empire has limited your abilities. If you didn't dare to think about it before, now you're a perfect gene fusionist. For your dear and beloved mistress, you should become even stronger, overthrow the imperial family's autocratic dictatorship, establish an alliance, and take power into your own hands. That's the right thing to do. Grace, I understand your reluctance before, but what about now? What reason do you have to refuse?"

"Do you still want to be helpless and watch your mistress being bullied, unable to do anything? Or are you willing to be protected by her for the rest of your life? Duke Lu Xia may be a duke, but he's not omnipotent. What if he encounters someone more powerful and something more powerful? What's more, anything she's doing now is enough to attract covetousness. You know that better than anyone, don't you?"

"Now is the time for you to stand up, Grace!" The man spoke crazily in front of Grace, like a warrior who could sacrifice his life for an ideal country.

But what he said was so outrageous.

This was not the first time Grace had heard such words. It could be said that it started when he was very young, when Lustan brought him here and told him that this dark city would become his cornerstone in the future.

"Grace, you know very well that the empire's system is not suitable for male survival. No matter how outstanding you become in the future, you will never be able to overcome the mountain of maleness. Only by overthrowing it and changing the system can males stand up and take charge. After going through so much, you should understand this by now!"

"Don't worry about what your mistress will think of you. She misses you. As long as you succeed, why would you be afraid of not getting her? Maybe she can understand you. Didn't you say she's very good?"

Seeing that Grace remained silent, Lustan was still unwilling to give up, because he had already seen Grace's hesitation!

Just a little more, and maybe his wish would come true!

Grace raised her eyes to meet Lu Stan's excited eyes and said, "I will seriously consider it."

"Okay, think about it carefully, think about it carefully, think about it carefully!" After so many years, Grace finally wavered and was finally willing to consider it. Isn't this progress?

"You should give it some thought. This is a big deal, after all. And don't worry, once you make a decision, your father will definitely support you. Always!"

Lustan was so excited that he paced back and forth in the messy room.

He felt that he should thank Duke Lu Xia. If it weren't for her, he would hardly see Grace waver in his life. It was really great. He wanted to give Duke Lu Xia a big gift.

Grace didn't stay with Lustan for long. When she stood up to leave, Lustan stopped her and said, "Grace, I thought there was no hope in this life, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to hand this key to you. Our Frederick family has always fought for independence and never given up hope. If you have thought it through, use the key to open the treasure left to you by the Frederick family. It will be a help to you."

Grace looked at the dragon-and-lion badge that Lustan stuffed into his hand. He had seen it when he was a child. It was a badge that only Patriarch Frederick could inherit.

Yes, in the Frederick family, only males can inherit the position of patriarch. It is one of the most special families in the empire, but it has been submerged in the long river of history. With Lustan's "departure", the Frederick family has completely fallen into decline.
