Chapter 146 Crazy.

After watching Lu Xia leave, Cecil put down his cutlery and said, "What does Your Excellency the Duke mean? Don't you want us to worry?"

Smellian was silent for a moment before he said, "Xia Xia must really believe that nothing will happen to Grace."

"Are you sure she's not just pretending to be calm?" Cecil remained skeptical. "I've never met anyone who can truly think so calmly."

Smellian glanced at him and said, "Xia Xia is not an ordinary person."

When Cecil heard this, he did not refute him for the first time.

It wasn't that he hadn't sensed Duke Luxia's uniqueness these days, and that was precisely why he hadn't argued. Because Smellian had spent more time with Duke Luxia than he had, and understood her better, he chose to believe Smellian: "You'd better be right."

Smellian didn't respond, but just picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

Cecil spoke again: "Grace is missing now, her whereabouts are unknown, and it's unknown whether she will come back. What do you think?"

Smellian looked at him in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Cecil raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this your best chance to rise to power? You've already won the favor of Duke Luxia. If you can move forward, you'll be a concubine. If Grace really doesn't come back this time, then you can also fight for the position of head husband, right?"

Smellian looked at him and said helplessly: "You really think too much. If you are really interested in these two positions, then go and fight for them yourself. It's enough for me to stay with Xia Xia."

Cecil sneered. He didn't think Smellian was as selfless as he said. There was no male who didn't covet a position by the side of the female master.

Faced with Cecil's questioning, Smelian did not explain any further. What he had just said was not entirely true, but he was really not in the mood to think about it now. He cared more about Duke Lu Xia's mood.

Without staying at the table for long, Smelian got up and went to the kitchen, cut some fruit, brewed a cup of black tea, and brought it upstairs to Lu Xia.

Cecil paused, then raised his eyebrows slightly. Smellian really did try every opportunity to please Duke Luxia.

He said he didn't care, but his body was extremely honest. He curled the corners of his lips sarcastically, turned and left the restaurant.

Lu Xia was doing nothing in the study at this time. She looked through all the conversations with Grace, recalled Grace's abnormality during this period, and confirmed again that her guess was not wrong. Grace was hiding something from her. Perhaps this disappearance was not passive, but active. If it was active, was Grace connected with the rebels?

Just as she was thinking this, there was a knock on the study door, and Smellian came in with a tray: "Eat some fruit, Xia Xia."

Lu Xia knew that Smellian was worried about her, and her heart softened for a moment: "Smellian, I'm really fine, don't worry."

Smelian looked at Lu Xia. Lu Xia looked normal and didn't seem to be lying to comfort him.

Smellian nodded: "I understand, Xia Xia, if there is anything you need me to do, just ask me directly. I hope I can help you at this time."

"Okay, I will." Lu Xia didn't refuse. She smiled and took a sip of the black tea he brought. "I'm going to see Her Majesty the Queen. I can't let Madam Dai Yin's matter go like this."

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

"No need, Smellian, it would be more appropriate for me to do this myself." After all, their Queen is so face-conscious.

Smellian nodded: "Just tell me if you need anything."

The news of Grace's disappearance was kept strictly secret, but some people in the powerful circles still heard about it.

Duke Leslie hasn't been out much recently. Firstly, he was worried about Grace's disappearance, and secondly, the sympathetic looks she received made her feel uncomfortable.

No matter how much people envied her before, now there were so many people waiting to laugh at her.

Duke Leslie didn't want to experience this feeling of disappointment.

So I stayed at home recently waiting for news, but nothing came. Instead, I waited for Xiuska to come back from Xiongde College.

When Duke Leslie heard from the old housekeeper that Xiuska had returned, he was in a daze for a moment. It had been so long since he remembered that she had a son.

Xiuska came in from outside. During the past few months at Xiongde Academy, he looked much thinner and more gloomy. Standing in front of Duke Leslie, he was less ostentatious and willful than before, and indeed looked much more well-behaved than before.

Duke Leslie glanced at him, and thought of how he was abandoned by Mandela, lost his position as the househusband, and made her a laughing stock in the circle. He couldn't help but reveal some disgust in his eyes, and couldn't help wondering why Xiuska was not as motivated as Grace?
Obviously, Xiuska had a higher starting point and should have a better future, but now he is nothing.

Holding back the impatience in her heart, she said, "Now that you're back, take a good rest at home for a while. I'll arrange a blind date for you later. I hope you can learn your lesson this time."

Hearing Duke Leslie's words, Xiuska replied obediently, "Okay, it's all up to mother."

Seeing how well-behaved he was, Duke Leslie couldn't help but take a second look at him, and felt that the teaching at Xiongde Academy in the past few months was quite effective.

When he spoke again, his tone was much softer: "If you had been so well-behaved earlier, you wouldn't have been abandoned by Mandela. Okay, go down. I'm tired."

He waved his hand and told Xiuska to leave as soon as possible.

Xiuska followed the old housekeeper out and on the way back to the room, he asked, "Is Grace really missing?"

The old butler was slightly startled and was hesitant to answer, but Xiuska sneered to himself, "Mother must be very worried right now. Such an outstanding hero has perished in the sea of ​​stars. Anyone would be troubled by this."

The old butler heard the sarcasm in Xiuska's tone and did not dare to respond. He lowered his head and remained silent.

Xiuska seemed to have no need for his response and sneered, "I wonder what kind of female master Mother will arrange for me this time? It's a pity that Grace is gone. Who else can bring such glory to Mother? This feeling of loss must be unbearable."

Xiuska spoke these words in a cheerful tone, as if he was very happy to see such a result. The old butler sent him back to his room and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead when he turned around and left. He could clearly feel that Xiuska had changed a lot after returning from Xiongde Academy, and had become a little more crazy.

If he was just a little willful in the past, now he is completely gloomy. I don’t know what he has experienced in Xiongde Academy. I heard that most of the heroes who come out of there will become abnormal. I hope Xiuska will not do anything extreme again and make Duke Leslie angry.

He knew very well that if it happened again, Duke Leslie would never forgive Xiuska easily. The Duke had completely lost his patience with Xiuska, or it could be said that Xiuska had lost his value to the Duke Leslie's Mansion.
