Chapter 122 Going out.

The news that Duke Lu Xia had received a medal of merit awarded by Her Majesty the Queen herself was announced to the public the next day.

It was much faster than Lu Xia expected.

This is the first time that Her Majesty the Queen has taken the initiative to award a medal of merit since her accession to the throne. Duke Luxia will become the first prince of non-royal origin during Her Majesty the Queen's reign.

As soon as the news was made public, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Both the common people and the dignitaries were shocked.

"What a sudden news! Who is Duke Lu Xia? Why does he sound familiar?"

"I don't know if Duke Lu Xia is reading this. She used to be the favorite topic in the tabloids, with all sorts of scandals, but things seem to have changed recently. She's now the founder of No. 1 Courtyard—yes, the one that makes the now-famous beauty creams and hair growth lotions. She's also the founder of No. 2 Courtyard, which developed the gene fusion preparation. Honestly, based on just these few studies, I think Her Majesty is right to award her the Order of Merit!"

"This guy's development has changed dramatically. What made Duke Lu Xia, the scoundrel, turn back?"

"People with power are free. They can have fun whenever they want and change whenever they want. It's truly free and easy!"

"Don't be so sarcastic upstairs. Duke Lu Xia has indeed made contributions to the benefit of the empire. No one else would be capable of such a thing. There are so many powerful people out there. Do you see any of them emerging?"

……

Compared with the heated discussions on the Internet, Lu Xia's terminal was not idle either. Duke Leslie and Lady Raphaelde both sent voice messages to express their congratulations, and some people who had contact with the institute also sent their blessings.

Everyone also asked her when she would hold a celebratory dinner and not to forget to invite them.

However, Lu Xia felt that their family had been holding banquets too frequently recently and it was time for them to keep a low profile.

However, the medal of merit bestowed by Her Majesty the Queen does require a grand banquet to express respect for Her Majesty the Queen, but Lu Xia is not planning to hold it immediately. He will at least wait until Grace returns safely.

That evening, the old butler still had a sumptuous dinner carefully prepared. Smellian and the awkward Cecil sat down together and congratulated Lu Xia on winning the Medal of Merit. The only person missing from the table was Grace.

After the meal, Smelian gave Lu Xia an exquisite necklace as a gift.

When Cecil saw him take it out, he turned his head and rolled his eyes. He felt that Smellian was a spineless guy who would not miss any opportunity to show off.

But even though he was in such a state, Duke Lu Xia did not show any favor to him. What was he trying to achieve? He really couldn't understand.

Lu Xia didn't expect Smelian to have prepared a gift. She took it with a smile and looked at the diamond necklace in the box. "It's very beautiful. I like it very much. Thank you, Smelian."

"As long as you like it, I'll help you put it on?" Smelian's eyes were full of anticipation. Seeing this, Lu Xia nodded and did not refuse.

Smelian immediately smiled with joy, stood up and carefully put the diamond necklace on Lu Xia.

A long time ago, he had someone customize this necklace, and now he finally has the chance to give it away.

After putting it on, the old housekeeper very considerately brought a mirror. After Lu Xia put it on, she looked in the mirror and saw a teardrop-shaped diamond on her fair and slender neck. It was sparkling under the light, and it was really beautiful.

Smellian has good taste.

When worn around her neck, this necklace makes her skin look more translucent, and it is not too ostentatious, which is a style she would like.

"It's really beautiful."

The old housekeeper held up the mirror and nodded with a smile: "It suits you very well."

"I also think that Smellian has a good vision." Lu Xia praised sincerely, which was the best response for Smelian.

Watching the interaction between the three, Cecil, who was sitting nearby, felt strangely lonely, as if he was an outsider who couldn't fit in at all. He didn't want to admit it, but he actually minded a little.

After dinner, Lu Xia returned to his room.

The others also dispersed.

But not long after, Cecil came out of the room with a bath towel tied around his waist and his upper body naked, and happened to meet Smellian, who was wearing a black windbreaker and looked like he was getting ready to go out.

The two looked at each other at the same time, surprise in their eyes: "What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing dressed like that?"

After saying that, they both shut up at the same time and stared at each other.

Finally, it was Smelian who broke the silence first: "Don't dress like this at home. What does it look like?"

"You said it all, we're at home, so what if I'm dressed like this? Or are you envious of my better figure and worried that Duke Lu Xia will...

If I like you, I don't have to like you?"

"You're overthinking it. Anyway, put on your clothes before you come out. I don't think Madam Dana has ever taught you to do such a disrespectful thing."

Hearing Smelian mention Madam Dana, Cecil's expression turned cold and he looked at him: "Don't use my mother to pressure me. You are dressed like this and going out so late, what do you want to do?"

"Of course I have something to say." Smellian glanced at the time and didn't want to waste any more time with Cecil. He turned around and was about to leave, but Cecil suddenly stepped forward to stop him. "Before you leave now, have you informed Duke Lu Xia?"

"She won't mind my business, so you'd better not mind it either. Get out of the way!"

"That means you didn't say anything. How do you know she doesn't care if you don't tell her? Come with me and tell her!" Cecil was about to reach out to grab Smelian, but suddenly a white feather appeared and hit Cecil's arm with a "snap", leaving a bloody mark on his arm. "Get out of here and don't meddle in other people's business!"

After saying this, Smellian left.

Cecil stood there, looking at the bloodstains on the back of his hand, silent, but couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is this the power of the gene fusion?
He didn't even see clearly how Smellian did it, he just saw a flash of white.

But he knew very well that Smellian was holding back, otherwise he would probably have lost his hand.

"Gene fusion." Cecil clenched his fists and turned back to the room.

He originally wanted to find the housekeeper to repair the bathroom.

The water system in his room was probably seldom used, so it wasn't sensitive enough and the hot and cold water often alternated.

But now, he was not in the mood and wanted to be alone.

Smellian's departure in the middle of the night only alarmed Cecil and did not attract the attention of anyone else.

The next morning, when Cecil saw Smellian at the dinner table, he looked as if nothing had happened and he was not
I know what time I came back last night.

But he smelled a scent of blood from him.

The smell wasn't strong, and it was even processed, but his sense of smell had always been very sensitive.

He couldn't smell it wrong.
