Chapter 145 Missing.
Hearing this news suddenly, Lu Xia stopped on the stairs instantly.
She seemed unsure of what she heard, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"
Duke Leslie, who was anxious, really thought that Lu Xia didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again: "Grace is missing at the front!"
Lu Xia finally came to her senses and asked, "Who told you this news?"
Duke Leslie: "I have been sending messages to Grace recently, but except for the initial reply, I can hardly contact her later. I was too worried, so I contacted the people in the First Military Region. They told me that Grace was missing and the news has been blocked. Xia Xia, what should we do? Should we go to see Her Majesty the Queen?"
"Going to see Her Majesty the Queen at this time will not solve any problems. Don't worry. The news you get may not be accurate. I will contact Admiral Snoop later and confirm the news before telling you."
After speaking, Lu Xia cut off the communication directly. She hurried downstairs. When she saw Cecil in the living room, she simply nodded to him, then sat on the sofa, and then opened the terminal to contact Admiral Snoop.
She looked a little unwell. Cecil walked over and asked softly, "Is something wrong, sir?"
Lu Xia didn't look at him, but replied, "There is something that needs to be confirmed."
At this time, the communication from Admiral Snoop was connected. Without waiting for Lu Xia to speak, Admiral Snoop guessed her purpose: "Your Excellency the Duke has also heard about Grace's disappearance?"
"Yes, Duke Leslie contacted me just now and said that Grace was missing at the front. I want to confirm this news. Is it true?" Admiral
Snoop was silent, as if he was hesitating whether to tell the truth. After a while, he said, "Grace encountered a rebel cruiser on the night she went to the front line, and a gunfight broke out between the two sides. In order to allow the army to rush to the front line for support as soon as possible, Grace only took a team of people to stay on the route to confront the rebels. We couldn't contact him when the news came back. The news was only sent back the day before yesterday, and the search is currently underway."
At this point, Admiral Snoop didn't dare to look Duke Lu Xia in the eye. He didn't even know how to comfort Duke Lu Xia.
"So Grace is really missing, right?"
Lu Xia asked again to confirm. Admiral Snoop didn't say anything this time. He nodded solemnly and said to Duke Lu Xia, "I'm sorry that this happened to you, Your Excellency."
"Admiral Snoop doesn't need to apologize. As a soldier, it is his duty to go to the battlefield. We are also very sorry that this happened. We hope to find him as soon as possible."
"We will do our best to search. Please rest assured that we will inform you when there is news."
After ending the call, Lu Xia sat on the sofa and remained quiet. I don't know what she was thinking.
Smellian and Cecil stood aside and heard the conversation between Lu Xia and Admiral Snoop. They knew that Grace was missing on the front line. Lu Xia's mood at the moment made them both worried.
At this time, Lu Xia sat on the sofa, and her expression did not look too sad. She just sat quietly and didn't know what she was thinking. Because of this, Cecil and Smellian didn't know how to comfort her.
In fact, Lu Xia was very confused at this time, because no one knew Grace's fighting ability better than her. Grace was not only a 100% gene fusion, but he also absorbed the fire spirit gene and possessed fire abilities.
Even against the rebels, he was definitely capable of fighting, so how could he suddenly disappear?
There must be something else that she didn't know about.
After thinking this through, Lu Xia sent a voice message to Duke Leslie, who answered the call very quickly, as if he had been waiting for her reply.
"Your Excellency, the news has been confirmed. Grace is indeed missing on the front line."
Upon hearing this news, Duke Leslie's face turned pale instantly: "How can this be good? How can this be good? How could Grace be missing? Did they send anyone to search and rescue her?"
"Duke Leslie, don't worry. Admiral Snoop will not give up on Grace. The only thing we can do now is to stay calm. Besides, as a soldier, Grace is going to the battlefield. It is his duty to protect the empire. We should be mentally prepared for anything that happens and not lose our sense of proportion."
Duke Leslie looked at Lu Xia. Seeing her so calm, she felt a little uncomfortable. She thought that Lu Xia and Grace had different feelings. After something like this, Lu Xia should be as panicked as she was. But now seeing her like this, she was suddenly not sure whether Duke Lu Xia cared about Grace's life or death. If she cared, why could she still stay so calm?
Feeling that Duke Leslie was looking at her with doubtful eyes, Lu Xia's expression remained unchanged, and she just said lightly: "I believe that Grace will be fine, and I hope Duke Leslie can believe it too."
After saying this, Lu Xia directly cut off the communication and did not continue to say anything to Duke Leslie.
After the communication ended, Lu Xia stood up and looked at Cecil and Smelian standing behind her. She was slightly stunned. Obviously, she did not expect that the two would stand here. Then she smiled at them: "You all heard it."
Smelian said: "Xia Xia, are you okay?"
"There's nothing wrong. Admiral Snoop will be responsible for Grace's affairs. I also believe that nothing will happen to him. As for us, we should do what we should do. I'm hungry. Is lunch ready?"
The old butler said at the right time: "It's ready, ma'am."
"Then let's eat."
Facing such a calm Lu Xia, Smelian and Cecil looked at each other, and both of them were full of worry in their eyes. They were worried that Lu Xia was pretending to be calm just to avoid making them worry.
But in fact, Lu Xia did not pretend to be calm. She really believed in Grace. After all, no one knew Grace's fighting ability better than her. She believed that there must be a reason that she didn't know.
Now thinking carefully, was the strangeness that Grace showed before leaving related to his disappearance?
Was Grace hiding something from her?
Suddenly, Lu Xia remembered that the last contact with Grace was the message that Grace sent, asking her to wait for him to come back.
At that time, she just thought that this sentence was Grace asking her to wait for him to come back with peace of mind. Now, is there another meaning, telling her not to worry about anything, he will come back.
Lu Xia was lost in thought, and there was silence at the table. Smellian picked up some dishes and put them in her bowl: "Xia Xia, eat something."
Lu Xia came back to her senses and smiled at Smellian in a soothing way: "Okay."
Then she didn't stop and ate seriously. Although she ate these days, most of it was coaxed by Smellian, and it didn't feel real.
So Lu Xia ate this meal very seriously. After the meal, Lu Xia stood up and said, "I'm going to the study to take care of some things. You guys can do whatever you want."
