Chapter 138 Greed.
Standing aside and not participating in this conversation, Lady Dana smiled and said to Duke Leslie: "Lu Xia will never let you down."
Duke Leslie responded lightly. She really had no emotions today. When she thought of Grace's unknown life and death on the front line, and the future connection between Duke Leslie's Mansion and Duke Lu Xia's Mansion was in jeopardy, her mood was very complicated.
As if she saw that she was not in a good state, Lady Dana patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Grace is so powerful, nothing will happen."
Duke Leslie forced himself to smile and said: "I think so too, but I can't help but worry. But this is a matter of sharing the worries of the empire, I should be proud of him." Lady Dana smiled
and said: "If Her Majesty the Queen hears this, she will definitely be very pleased."
Duke Leslie looked at Lady Dana after hearing this. I don't know if it was her illusion, but I always felt that there was a bit of sarcasm in Lady Dana's words.
She didn't ask, knowing very well that the interpersonal relationships in the royal family were very complicated, and some things were not something they could intervene in. It was the right thing to do to pretend that she didn't hear it clearly.
The celebration banquet went smoothly. Everyone saw that the relationship between the Raffield family and the Duke of Luxia's mansion had further deepened. After Grace, Smelian finally entered the public eye. It was known that he was the second male favored by Duke Luxia after Grace.
Many people still couldn't help thinking that Duke Luxia was said to be cruel and liked to abuse the males around him. But now, watching the males around her become gene fusions one by one and getting better and better, they felt very complicated. If these were abuses, then they also wanted to be abused.
After all, in the empire, there was no male who didn't want to become a gene fusion and didn't want to have a female master who would think about him in every way. Even if it was just the status of a husband, it was worth it to get the heart of the female master. It was a pity
that even if they had this idea, they didn't dare to say anything in front of Duke Luxia. The two females who were asked to leave just now were the best examples. They could only find another opportunity to do what they wanted.
Prince Li Mang looked at Lu Xia, Smelian and Cecil coming over, and said with a smile: "Xia Xia, you must be prepared. After today, there will be many families who want to give you males. There may be many males who want to be with you. You must open your eyes and choose carefully."
Facing Prince Li Mang's reminder, Lu Xia was slightly stunned, and then realized that this kind of thing could really happen. She shook her head and said helplessly: "I won't take anyone else. The people around me are enough."
After hearing her words, Prince Li Mang knew that Lu Xia was serious. He had known Duke Lu Xia for so long, and he also understood what kind of person and character she was. Since she said so, she would definitely not take anyone else.
She admired Lu Xia's decisiveness. Even if she didn't think she was amorous, she would always be moved when she met a good one. This was the nature of being a female, but it was obvious that Lu Xia had a high degree of self-awareness. These males who could follow her were really lucky.
As she thought so, she glanced at Cecil who was following Lu Xia. She remembered that Cecil could only stand far away in the past few times, but now he could actually follow Lu Xia and entertain guests together. As
she thought so, she subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Dana. Sure enough, Mrs. Dana seemed to be in a good mood today.
As time passed, the banquet gradually came to an end. Mrs. Dana finally couldn't help but call Cecil aside.
"You finally figured it out. I'm very relieved. If you had this realization earlier, you might have attended your public banquet today. But fortunately, it's not too late."
Cecil couldn't refute Mrs. Dana's words, because these days, thinking back to what he said and did, he really wanted to go back and slap himself twice.
Seeing that he was silent and looked a little depressed, Madam Dana sneered: "Now is not the time for you to regret. You should work hard to strive for the position of a concubine. Don't regret it when you get nothing. You have seen today how many people want to get close to Duke Lu Xia. What's more, there are two more people outside like you."
Faced with Madam Dana's words, Cecil finally couldn't help it: "I know, mother."
Madam Dana stared at him for a while: "You'd better know."
After saying this, Madam Dana turned and left. Cecil stood alone in the corner for a while before going back to Lu Xia, but found that Smelian didn't know what to do.
Seeing him coming back, Lu Xia smiled at him faintly: "You have been following us to socialize all night, you must be hungry, go eat something."
Cecil looked around and asked: "Where is Smellian?"
"Mrs. Rafaeld has something to ask him, so she went in to talk."
Cecil nodded and asked: "Your Excellency Duke Lu Xia wants to eat something, I will get it for you."
"Thank you, no, I don't have much appetite, you go eat."
Cecil was silent for a while, then turned and went to the dining area.
At this time, Smellian followed Mrs. Rafaeld into the study. Seeing the smile on his mother's face, he knew that his mother was very happy tonight.
Because he became a gene fusion and brought glory to the family, his mother smiled at him so much, even making him feel like her most beloved child, but in fact, she only saw the value in him.
Mrs. Rafaeld was very satisfied with Smellian's performance. She spoke without hiding her purpose: "Smellian, you performed very well, but I need you to continue to work hard to become the concubine of Duke Lu Xia. Next time I hope to be invited to your concubine's public banquet."
"If you can give birth to a male child with Duke Lu Xia, it will be even better." In fact, she hoped that Smellian would have the opportunity to breed a female child with Lu Xia, but the probability of breeding a female child was too low, so it was more likely to hope for a male child.
Smellian looked at the greed that flashed across his mother's face. He knew very well that human desires are constantly growing.
When he was sent to Duke Lu Xia's mansion, his mother only asked Duke Lu Xia to favor him a little because of his beauty. Now that he has become a gene fusion and has received Lu Xia's attention, his mother seemed to have seen some hope and wanted more, but he didn't want to.
"Becoming a concubine or having children is not something I can control, so mother should not expect too much."
Lady Rafaelde did not think so: "Just because there is no chance now does not mean there will be no chance in the future. Besides, Grace is not here now. Isn't this your best chance to get promoted? Don't tell me that you can't even beat Cecil? You have already seized the opportunity. As long as you work harder, I don't believe that Duke Lu Xia will not give you a position as a concubine."
