Chapter 220 Go home.

Her Majesty the Queen, far away in the palace, naturally saw the live broadcast of the Federation starship landing on the Imperial Star.

When Grace stepped out of the starship, all the confusion and bewilderment that had been lingering were answered.

For a moment, Her Majesty felt as if she were a joke.

"Good, good, good Duke Lu Xia, I really misjudged you!" Since Grace is the commander of the Allied Forces, how could Duke Lu Xia, as his mistress, not know this?
Her Majesty the Queen will not believe it.

Without Lu Xia's permission, how could Grace have dared to do such a thing!

Seeing that Her Majesty was so angry that she was incoherent, the attendant next to her instinctively brought her a glass of warm water: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Her Majesty pushed the water glass in front of her away: "Take care of yourself. Do you think I still need to take care of myself?"

The Allied forces have completely landed on the Imperial Star, and their senior commanders have arrived. Next comes her trial.

Her good days are finally over.

Ironically, she was still afraid to die.

Seeing that Her Majesty was angry, the attendant sighed and bent down to pick up the broken teacup.

Noticing her movements, Her Majesty the Queen said, "Go, you don't need to stay here and suffer with me."

"Your Majesty, I have nowhere to go if I leave now, so I might as well stay and keep you company."

"What's so good about keeping me company? I don't even know what will happen next. My fate is not in my own hands. You won't have a good ending if you stay with me."

"It's okay, you'll get used to it."

Upon hearing the attendant's words, Her Majesty the Queen shook her head: "Whatever you say."

As Grace stepped off the hovercar, looking at the brightly lit Duke Lu Xia's mansion before her, her restless heart, which had been adrift for some time, seemed to finally find its home.

After closing the car door, Grace bent down and straightened her uniform.

He wasn't nervous as he stepped off the starship and faced the attention of all the people of the Imperial Star, but he couldn't help feeling nervous when he was about to return home and see Lu Xia.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with herself, Grace pushed open the door and went inside.

At this moment, a sumptuous dinner had been prepared at Duke Lu Xia's mansion, awaiting Grace's return.

Lu Xia, who was sitting on the sofa, seemed to sense something and looked up at the door. Then she saw Gray walk in.

Their eyes met, and Lu Xia couldn't help but stand up and go to greet her.

Everyone who noticed her movement looked up at the door and couldn't help but put down what they were doing.

Grace walked in, stood in front of Lu Xia, and looked at her with gentle eyes: "Xia Xia, I'm back."

Lu Xia smiled and nodded: "Welcome home."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Xia stepped forward and hugged Grace.

Simon put the little grape down from his arms, gently patted his shoulder, and gestured for him to come over.

Little Grape glanced at him nervously, then walked to Grace's side, looked up and met Grace's eyes.

With identical dark eyes and similar facial features, they are undeniably father and son.

"Father, welcome home." After saying that, Little Grape imitated Lu Xia's actions and took the initiative to hug Grace's leg.

Given his current height, he could only hug his thighs; hugging his waist was a bit of a stretch.

Grace's eyes crinkled with amusement. She then knelt down, took off her hat, placed it on Little Grape's head, and picked him up. Blood ties are a wondrous thing. Even though Little Grape's impression of Grace, his father, was faint, the moment he was held, he felt a sense of peace and even joy.

It seems his father didn't dislike him.

This realization made him extremely happy, and he couldn't help but hug Grace's neck and press his arm against hers.

In fact, Grace had already prepared for Little Grape not to recognize him when he returned home, since Little Grape was so young before he left.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xia taught him very well.

"Go wash up and change your clothes. We've prepared a welcome feast for you today." Although the two had a lot to say, now that Grace was back, they would have plenty of time to spend together.

After Lu Xia finished speaking, she reached out to pick up Little Grape so that Grace could go upstairs to change her clothes.

As a result, Little Grape hugged Grace, looking slightly reluctant.

Grace laughed and said, "Never mind, I'll take him with me."

Lu Xia smiled and nodded, "Then Little Grape and Father Xiong can go up together."

Little Grape smiled the moment she was given permission, then reached out to grab Lu Xia's hand: "Together, Mother."

Grace also looked over.

Lu Xia hesitated for a moment, then nodded and accompanied Grace upstairs.

Since Cecil was still living in the master bedroom, Grace wisely avoided going there and returned to his original room instead.

Everything he needed to use after he returned home was already prepared in the room.

After closing the door, Little Grape patted Grace on the shoulder, signaling him to put her down.

After Grace put him down, she heard Little Grape say in her childish voice, "Daddy, Mommy, you can kiss now, I don't want to watch!"

After saying that, he even covered his eyes with great deference. If it weren't for the fact that the gaps between his fingers were so large, I would have really believed what he said.

Hearing this, Lu Xia was both amused and exasperated, wondering where Little Grape had gotten that information.

Grace looked at Lu Xia, then leaned over and planted a kiss on her lips.

The opportunity his son fought for him shouldn't disappoint his son.

Lu Xia returned the kiss to Grace and then said, "Go take a shower, I'll find you some clothes."

Grace nodded and turned to walk toward the bathroom.

Lu Xia reached out and patted Little Grape's head: "Shall we go together?"

Little Grape nodded and followed Lu Xia to the fitting room: "Do you really like Father Xiong?"

Hearing Lu Xia's words, Xiao Putao raised her hand to touch the military cap she was wearing and nodded: "Father Xiong is very handsome. I like his clothes. Mother, will I grow up to be as tall as Father Xiong in the future? Will I be able to wear a military uniform too?"

Lu Xia was not surprised by Xiao Putao's words. As a young boy, Xiao Putao's longing for military uniform was probably in his nature.

"Yes, Little Grape will also become a soldier like your father."

Having received the answer she wanted, Little Grape happily hugged Lu Xia: "When the time comes, I will protect Mother together with Xiongfu."

"Okay, but while protecting your mother is the priority, Little Grape needs to learn how to protect herself first." Lu Xia smiled and gently flicked Little Grape's nose.

She didn't want to raise Little Grape to be someone who only knew how to give. He could have great love, but along with that love, she hoped he could also protect himself.
