Chapter 126 Testing.
Grace came back two days earlier than Lu Xia expected. When she suddenly saw her at the gate after work, Lu Xia thought she was hallucinating at first, until a man in military uniform walked towards her: "Xia Xia, I'm back."
He was still in uniform, obviously he had just come back and had not had time to change before he ran to pick her up.
Lu Xia smiled and looked at the man. He had been out for more than a week, and he was fine. He didn't lose weight and his complexion was not bad.
Her heart was relieved and she went forward to hug Grace: "Welcome home."
The moment she was hugged, Grace felt warm in her heart, with a smile in her eyes, and hugged the little female in her arms tightly.
"Did things go smoothly this time? Can you tell me more about it?"
"Yes, it went smoothly. A cocoon unexpectedly appeared on Planet A11, and the Zerg were heading for the cocoon. But now it is the resting period for the Zerg, so they are not very strong, so it is not difficult to deal with them."
Lu Xia listened carefully, nodded, and asked again: "Are you not injured?"
"No, thanks to the Fire Spirit Gene Extract that Xia Xia gave me, I won a great victory at a very small cost."
"That's good!" After hearing what Grace said, Lu Xia was completely relieved.
But Grace silently said sorry in her heart.
He didn't want to deceive Lu Xia, but it was obviously not a good thing to let Lu Xia know about the things on Planet A11 now. He still needed to confirm the attitude of Her Majesty the Queen, and what he was going to do later could not let Lu Xia be implicated.
"By the way, Grace, you may not know that not long after you left, Her Majesty the Queen gave you a medal of honor."
"I know."
"You know?" Lu Xia was a little surprised. After all, she had not told Grace about this matter before, and Grace was not on the Imperial Star, so how did she know?
"Because I have always been paying attention to you, Xia Xia, so everything about you, no matter where I am, I will know."
Lu Xia was pleased by this sentence: "Well, I can get the medal of honor this time, thanks to you, Grace."
"What does it have to do with me?"
"I feel that Her Majesty the Queen considered awarding me this medal because of your performance on Star A11 this time, otherwise why didn't she give it to me before?"
Grace didn't think so. This was given to Lu Xia for his face. After all, his face as a male is not worth much to Her Majesty the Queen.
Only if Lu Xia thinks he is good, will she feel that it has something to do with him.
When they got home, Smelian and Cecil were already there. Seeing Grace coming back, Smelian naturally greeted her, and Cecil also waved his hand.
Grace nodded to the two of them, and followed Lu Xia upstairs.
Cecil stood by and looked at Smelian: "What are you still looking at? He is back, and there is no place for you in Duke Lu Xia's place." Smelian
looked back at him: "You are such a chatterbox."
"..." Cecil looked unbelievable, looking at Smelian who had turned around and left, and asked the old butler who was passing by, "I am a chatterbox, am I still a chatterbox?"
The old butler glanced at him: "You are not a chatterbox."
Cecil immediately felt balanced: "I just said that I am an introverted person, I don't talk much, how can I still be a chatterbox?"
"You just talk a lot." The old butler left this sentence and turned around and left.
Cecil, who had just been comforted by the old butler, heard this and immediately said: "...Hehe, you really don't understand me at all!"
He is so quiet that sometimes he doesn't say anything at home!
The prejudice in people's hearts is really like a mountain!
They don't understand him at all, huh!

The next morning, Grace came out of his house and went directly to the palace to meet Her Majesty the Queen.
This was the notice he received on his way back.
At this time, he stood in front of Her Majesty the Queen, with his eyes slightly lowered, looking respectful and obedient. Her Majesty the Queen looked at
him silently: "I heard that you were a 'defective' male before, and you changed after following Duke Lu Xia?"
"It's just a coincidence. I was injured once before, and it was a blessing in disguise that activated the beast gene in my body."
"In other words, you didn't become a gene fusionist because you used the gene fusion preparation developed by Duke Lu Xia, right?"
"That's right."
"Then you are really lucky, but in this way, can it be said that the gene fusion preparation developed by Duke Lu Xia is not necessarily so effective, right?"
"It just increases some probability issues."
"Well, I see, you performed well on Star A11 this time, do you have anything to say?"
Grace knew very well that this was the main purpose of Her Majesty the Queen summoning him today.
"It's just a routine support mission. I have nothing to say."
"Oh, I don't believe you went there and found nothing, Grace. I have a very good impression of your mistress, and I have
a very good impression of you as well. I know very well that you are both pillars of the empire. I cherish talents, but I also need your loyalty."
Grace knelt down on one knee: "Grace has never mentioned the things on A11 to outsiders, and will not question the decision of Her Majesty the Queen. You must have your reasons for doing so. Grace will not speculate too much. Please understand."
Her Majesty the Queen was quite satisfied with Grace's current performance, and her tone softened again: "You didn't even tell Duke Lu Xia?"
"Without the permission of Her Majesty the Queen, there is a confidentiality principle for what happened during the mission, and Grace dare not publicize it."
"Well, you did the right thing. Don't let Duke Lu Xia know about this. She is a kind person and she will be sad if she knows. You did a good job this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"This is my duty, and I dare not ask for a reward."
"Then I'll double your merits so that you can be promoted faster, Grace. I know Admiral Snoop is interested in training you. If you work hard, the First Military District will be yours in the future."
Grace knew very well that Her Majesty the Queen was using these things to win him over.
Grace bowed respectfully and did not refuse again.
After leaving the palace, Grace went straight back to the First Military District, where Admiral Snoop was already waiting for him.
Seeing him coming back, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Going to see Her Majesty the Queen?"
Grace did not report to the First Military District in the morning, and Admiral Snoop could not help but ask the reason.
Knowing that Grace was summoned by Her Majesty the Queen, he thought it must be a good thing, so without waiting for Grace to answer, Admiral Snoop asked himself: "Have you been rewarded?"
"You did a good job on this mission, and my merits have doubled."
"That's not bad either. Your merits this time are not low. In this way, you are not far from the rank of Lieutenant General!" Admiral Snoop smiled and patted Grace on the shoulder. He was really happy for him.
