Chapter 135 Change.

Duke Leslie didn't expect that Lu Xia actually trusted Grace so much. This was completely different from what she thought. She thought Lu Xia would be the same as her.

I was worried that Grace might encounter unexpected dangers on the battlefield, but Duke Lu Xia was surprisingly reassured.

What should she say next?
The Duke of Leslie's Mansion is now in short supply of any available males.

Especially Grace is so competitive.

For a moment, she thought of the disappointing Xiuska. If Xiuska had been half as good as Grace, she wouldn't be so worried.

Her Majesty the Queen did not allow any media to report on the rebel attack on the resource mine, so the public is still unaware of it.

But there are no secrets in the aristocratic circle, and the news that Grace went to the battlefield to fight the rebels has spread in the aristocratic circle.

Many people wanted to ask Duke Leslie about the situation on the front line, but Duke Leslie knew nothing about it.

After all, Grace would not tell her such important news. She even felt that Lu Xia might know nothing about the situation on the front line.

However, Lu Xia was unaware of this, and Duke Leslie did not specifically mention it to her because he knew that according to Lu Xia's personality, she would ignore these people.

After Grace left, everything in the house was the same as before, except that there was one less person at mealtime.

Cecil looked at the two people eating at the table. It seemed that nothing changed because of Grace's departure, as if Grace was not that important in this family.

After the meal, Lu Xia called Smelian to the study.

Hearing this, Cecil looked at Smelian after Lu Xia left and said sarcastically, "Haha. Grace is away, so now's a good time for you to take the top spot."

Smellian gave him a cold look and said, "Thank you for your kind reminder."

After saying this, Smelian didn't look at Cecil again and went straight upstairs to see Lu Xia.

Cecil was silent for a long time after hearing Smelian's words. After a while, he looked at the silent old butler beside him and said, "How come you also think what I said is wrong?"

The old housekeeper looked puzzled: "I didn't hear anything just now."

Cecil felt as if he had punched cotton, and the anger in his heart grew stronger.

He felt that everyone in the family was against him.

Smellian didn't care what Cecil was thinking, he was always awkward anyway.

It would be better to stay awkward like this for the rest of my life and never realize how good Lu Xia is.

When he arrived at the study, Lu Xia was already sitting on the sofa with a blank expression on her face. It was unknown what she was thinking at the moment. She didn't even notice the sound he made when he pushed the door open.

Smelian couldn't help but think that even if Lu Xia didn't show it, Grace's departure obviously had some impact on her.

Smelian wasn't surprised by this. As an outsider, he saw Grace and Lu Xia's relationship clearly. It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious, but he believed that as long as he didn't give up and kept working hard, he, like Grace, would win Lu Xia's heart.

Finally noticing Smellian's arrival, Lu Xia smiled. "Sorry, I was a little distracted. I called you over here to tell you about your celebration party. Mrs. Raphaelde has already sent me the invitation list. Please take a look and let me know if you have any additional comments." Smellian hadn't expected that Lu Xia would still be willing to hold a celebration party for him after Grace's departure. She always had a way of softening people's hearts. Whenever he thought Lu Xia was good enough, she could still do even better.

He looked at Lu Xia tenderly and said, "Grace is currently on the battlefield, and her current situation is unknown. Why don't we postpone my celebration banquet?"

Obviously Lu Xia was not in a good mood, and she didn't want to celebrate such a thing at this time.

Lu Xia smiled at him and said, "Smellian, Grace is Grace, and you are you. He went to the battlefield as a soldier, which was his duty. You don't need to bear the consequences for him. Mrs. Raphaelde attaches great importance to your celebration banquet and has already set the time. There is no need to postpone or cancel it because of Grace's matter."

"It's important for Grace to go to the battlefield, and it's also important for you to become a gene-fusionist. In this family, no one needs to sacrifice for anyone else. I hope you understand."

Smelian nodded. He felt that Lu Xia was always like this, always thinking about others but seeming to ignore himself.

He looked at the gentle little female in front of him and couldn't help but say, "Xia Xia, if you are sad, I can lend you my shoulder."

Lu Xia was slightly stunned, then realized what Smellian meant. Knowing he had misunderstood, she smiled and shook her head, "You think I'm sad and worried about Grace going to the battlefield, right? I said, this is his duty as a soldier. It's normal for me to worry, but I won't stop him, nor will I let this worry affect my own life."

"No need to comfort me, Smellian. I'm not as fragile as you think. Even if Grace eventually brings bad news, I'm mentally prepared. I will welcome him back home."

It was at this moment that Smelian truly realized that Lu Xia was more clear-headed than anyone thought.

He even clearly knew that if he became like Grace one day, Lu Xia would treat him the same way.

For some reason, he always felt that Lu Xia didn't seem to belong to anyone, as if she was ready to leave everyone at any time.

This made him feel inexplicably panic, but he didn't know where this panic came from or how to calm it down.

"Smellian, I've asked the old butler to prepare a dress for you. It should be delivered the day after tomorrow. Try it on then. If there's anything that doesn't fit, just tell the old butler and he'll fix it for you."

Smellian nodded: "I understand."

He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Xia Xia, Grace is not at home. If you have any questions or needs, just tell me. Don't forget that I am also one of your servants. I also want to do something for you."

Lu Xia knew very well that Smelian had been working hard for their relationship, and she saw it all, but she was not in the mood at the moment.

But she didn't refuse him, and said with a smile: "Okay, I understand."

When Smellian saw that she agreed, he felt relieved.

When Smellian came out of the study, he happened to meet Cecil who was coming upstairs. Their eyes met, and Cecil's lips curled up:
"How is it going? Did Duke Lu Xia allow you to stay in the master bedroom?"

Smellian was completely unfazed by his ridicule and chuckled, "Don't worry about that. I'll definitely let you know the day I move into the master bedroom."

Cecil gritted his teeth and said nothing more sarcasticly, "What on earth did she want to talk to you about?"

This time, Smellian didn't answer him. Instead, he looked at him with disdain and imitated his tone, mocking him: "Why, have you changed your mind and started to care about Xia Xia's affairs? I still like your previous rebellious look."
