Chapter 145 is missing.

Hearing the news suddenly, Lu Xia stopped on the stairs.

She seemed unsure of what she had heard, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"

Duke Leslie spoke anxiously, really thinking that Lu Xia hadn't heard clearly, so he repeated it again: "Grace is missing at the front!"

Lu Xia finally came to his senses and asked, "Who told you this news?"

Duke Leslie: "I've been sending messages to Grace recently, but apart from the initial reply, I can hardly get in touch with her later. I was so worried, so I contacted the people in the First Military Region. They told me that Grace is missing and the news has been blocked. Xia Xia, what should we do? Should we go see Her Majesty the Queen?"

"Seeing Her Majesty the Queen at this time won't solve anything. Don't worry. The information you received may not be accurate. I will contact Admiral Snoop later to confirm the information and then let you know."

After saying that, Lu Xia cut off the communication. She hurried downstairs and when she saw Cecil in the living room, she simply nodded to him, then sat on the sofa and opened the terminal to contact Admiral Snoop.

She looked a little unhappy. Cecil walked over and asked softly, "Is there something wrong, sir?"

Lu Xia didn't look at him, but replied: "There is something I need to confirm."

At this moment, Admiral Snoop was connected. Before Lu Xia could speak, Admiral Snoop guessed her intention: "Your Excellency the Duke has also heard about Grace's disappearance?"

"Yes, Duke Leslie just contacted me and said Grace is missing on the front line. I want to confirm this news. Is it true?"

Admiral Snoop was silent, as if hesitating whether to tell the truth. After a while, he spoke, "Grace encountered a rebel cruiser on the night he was leaving for the front line. A firefight broke out between the two sides. To ensure the main force could reach the front line as quickly as possible, Grace left only a small team on the route to confront the rebels. When the news came back, we couldn't contact him. This news came back the day before yesterday, and we are currently searching for him."

Having said that, Admiral Snoop didn't dare to look Duke Lu Xia in the eye. He didn't even know how to comfort Duke Lu Xia.

"So Grace is really missing, right?"

Lu Xia asked again to confirm. Admiral Snoop didn't say anything this time. He nodded solemnly and said to Duke Lu Xia, "I'm very sorry that this happened, Your Excellency."

"Admiral Snoop doesn't need to apologize. As a soldier, Grace was responsible for going to the battlefield. We are very sorry that this happened. We hope to find him as soon as possible no matter what."

"We will do our best to search, please rest assured that we will notify you when there is any news."

After ending the call, Lu Xia sat on the sofa and remained quiet, not knowing what he was thinking.

Smellian and Cecil stood aside and heard the conversation between Lu Xia and Admiral Snoop. They knew that Grace was missing at the front line, and Lu Xia's mood at the moment made them both worried.

At this moment, Lu Xia sat on the sofa. She didn't look too sad, but just quietly thinking about something. Because of this, Cecil and Smelian didn't know how to comfort her.

In fact, Lu Xia was very confused at this time, because no one knew Grace's combat ability better than her. Grace was not only a 100% gene fusion, he also absorbed the fire spirit gene and possessed fire abilities.

Even if facing the rebels, he is definitely capable of fighting, so how could he suddenly disappear?
There must be something else going on here that she didn't know about. Thinking this through, Lu Xia sent a voice message to Duke Leslie, who answered the call quickly, as if he had been waiting for her reply.

"Your Excellency, the Duke, the news has been confirmed. Grace is indeed missing at the front line."

Upon hearing this news, Duke Leslie's face turned pale. "How can this be good? How can this be good? How could Grace be missing? Did they send anyone to search for her or rescue her?"

"Duke Leslie, don't worry. Admiral Snoop won't give up on Grace. The only thing we can do now is remain calm. Besides, as a soldier, Grace is heading to the battlefield. It's his duty to protect the empire. We should be mentally prepared for anything that happens and not lose our composure."

Duke Leslie looked at Lu Xia and felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her so calm. She had thought that Lu Xia and Grace had different feelings. After something like this happened, Lu Xia should be as panicked as she was. But now seeing her like this, she suddenly wasn't sure whether Duke Lu Xia cared about Grace's life or death. If he did, why could she still remain so calm?
Feeling the questioning look in Duke Leslie's eyes, Lu Xia remained calm and said calmly, "I believe Grace will be alright. I hope Duke Leslie can believe that, too."

After saying this, Lu Xia directly cut off the communication and did not continue to say anything to Duke Leslie.

After the call ended, Lu Xia stood up and looked at Cecil and Smelian standing behind her. She was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting them to be there. Then she smiled at them and said, "You all heard it."

Smellian said: "Xia Xia, are you okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. Admiral Snoop will be in charge of Grace's affairs, and I believe nothing will happen to him. As for us, we'll just do what needs to be done. I'm hungry. Is lunch ready?"

The old butler spoke at the right moment: "It's ready, ma'am."

"Then let's eat."

Faced with Lu Xia's calmness, Smelian and Cecil looked at each other, both of them with worry in their eyes. They were worried that Lu Xia was pretending to be calm so as not to make them worry.

But in fact, Lu Xia did not pretend to be calm. She really believed in Grace. After all, no one knew Grace's fighting ability better than her. She believed that there must be a reason that she didn't know.

Now thinking carefully, is the strange behavior Grace showed before she left related to his disappearance?

Is Grace hiding something from her?
Suddenly, Lu Xia remembered that the last contact with Grace was the message Grace sent her, asking her to wait for him to come back.

At that time, she just thought that Grace was telling her to wait for his return without worry. Now, it seems that there is another meaning, telling her not to worry about anything, he will come back.

Lu Xia was lost in thought, and the table was completely silent. Smellian picked up some food and put it in her bowl: "Xia Xia, eat something."

Lu Xia came back to his senses and gave Smellian a reassuring smile: "Okay."

Then she didn't stop and started to eat seriously. Although she had eaten during these days, most of the food was coaxed by Smelian, and it didn't feel real.

So Lu Xia ate this meal very seriously. After the meal, Lu Xia stood up and said, "I'm going to the study to take care of some things. You guys can do whatever you want."
