Chapter 111 Independence.
Grace walked out of the gate of the First Military Region and saw Secretary General Reinska standing not far away.
When the other party saw him, he raised his hand and waved, indicating that he was here.
Grace walked over: "What do you want to see me for?"
Reinska said apologetically: "I am here to apologize to you."
"What did you do wrong?" Grace looked very calm, as if she really didn't know why Reinska came.
Reinska sighed, "It's all my fault for talking nonsense without knowing the truth. When Victoria asked about you, I just thought she was curious, so I said you were Duke Lu Xia's servant. I didn't know you were already a househusband at that time, and I didn't expect Victoria to have such an idea, so I'm sorry. I feel guilty for causing trouble to you and Duke Lu Xia because of my mouth."
Grace nodded, "I know."
"If you need it, I can compensate you."
"I'll contact you if I need it." Grace didn't refuse, which made Reinska, who felt she had done something wrong, feel better. "Congratulations on becoming a househusband."
"Thank you, I have other things to do, so I won't keep you talking."
"Okay, then you can contact me anytime you need."
Watching Reinska leave, Grace lit a cigarette. In the smoke, Grace seemed to have made some kind of decision.
Putting out the cigarette, Grace waited for the smell on his body to dissipate before opening the door and getting on the hover car, because Lu Xia often took his car.
He didn't want Lu Xia to smell the smoke.
Not even a little bit.

In the dark and damp corridor, the dim light made the place even more depressing.
Grace handed the coat in her hand to the guard at the door, and then walked inside.
The prisons on both sides of the corridor were pitch black, like the huge mouths of beasts, ready to swallow people at any time.
Grace's footsteps did not stop until he reached the end of the corridor. He raised his hand to take off his black gloves, scanned his fingerprints, and listened to the mechanical confirmation, and then the door in front of him opened.
The door opened, and the warm sunlight shone out. Grace looked at the middle-aged male with gray hair sitting on the ground, and closed the door casually.
No one would believe that in a place like the underground dark city, there is a room like this that can receive sunlight, with many books and many mechanical facilities inside, messy and orderly.
It seems that someone has lived here for a long time.
"What a rare guest, Grace, I thought you were immersed in the gentle country and had forgotten the existence of my father."
"If I don't remember you, you will probably be forgotten by the world. After all, to the outside world, you have been dead for many years."
Grace kicked away the parts at her feet, sat on the sofa, and watched the man sitting there fiddling with the scattered parts.
"Oh, if you didn't remind me, I would have forgotten. How did you have time to come here? Didn't your mistress promote you to be the master husband? Why do you still look so sad? You were abandoned so soon?"
Grace didn't respond, which surprised the man. He turned his head and looked at him: "Or have you thought it through and think what I said makes sense?"
"Don't be silent, okay? I know you are upset because you have caused trouble for your beloved mistress. You are full of self-blame now, right? That means you are not strong enough. The empire has limited your ability. If you didn't dare to think about it before, now you are already a perfect gene fusion. For your dear and beloved mistress, you should become stronger. Overthrowing the imperial royal autocracy, establishing an alliance, and taking power into your own hands is the right thing to do. Grace, I understand that you didn't want to do it before, but now, what reason do you have to refuse?"
"Do you still want to be helpless when your mistress is bullied and can do nothing? Or are you willing to be protected by your mistress for the rest of your life? Although Duke Luxia is a duke, he is not omnipotent. What if he encounters a more powerful person or something more powerful? What's more, everything she is doing now is enough to attract covetousness. You know it better than anyone, don't you?"
"Now is the time for you to stand up, Grace!" The man spoke wildly in front of Grace, like a warrior who could sacrifice his
life for an ideal country. But what he said was so outrageous.
This was not the first time Grace had heard such words. It could be said that it started when Lustan brought him here when he was very young and told him that this dark city would become his cornerstone in the future.
"Grace, you know very well that the system of the empire is not suitable for male survival. No matter how outstanding you are in the future, you can't overcome the mountain of being a male. Only by overthrowing it and changing the system can males turn over and make decisions. After so many things, you should understand it now!"
"Don't worry about what your female master will think of you. She misses you. As long as you succeed, are you still afraid of not getting her? Maybe she can understand you. Didn't you say she is very good?"
Seeing that Grace was still silent, Lu Stan was still unwilling to give up, because he had seen Grace's hesitation!
Just one step away, maybe his wish could be fulfilled!
Grace raised her eyes to Lu Stan's eyes that could not hide his excitement: "I will seriously consider it."
"Okay, you think about it carefully, think about it carefully, think about it carefully!" After so many years, Grace finally wavered and was finally willing to consider it. Isn't this progress?
"You should think about it carefully. After all, this is a big deal, and don't worry, once you decide, your father will definitely support you, and always support you!"
Lu Stan was so excited that he paced back and forth in the messy room.
He felt that he should thank Duke Luxia. If it weren't for her, he would hardly see Grace waver in his life. It was great. He wanted to give Duke Luxia a big gift.
Grace didn't stay with Lustan for long. When she got up to leave, Lustan called her and said, "Grace, I thought there would be no hope in this life, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to hand this key to you. Our Frederick family has been fighting for independence and has never given up hope. If you think it through, use the key to open the treasure left to you by the Frederick family. It will help you."
Grace looked at the dragon-patterned lion badge that Lustan stuffed into his hand. He had seen it when he was a child. It was a badge that only the Frederick patriarch could inherit.
Yes, in the Frederick family, only males can inherit the position of patriarch. It is one of the most special families in the empire, but it has been submerged in the long river of history. With Lustan's "departure", the Frederick family has completely fallen into desolation.
